The minute those words came out of his mouth, the room was plunged into silence. All that could be heard was the sound of Furry salivating.
Parker looked at her with an innocent face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqing was speechless for a moment and was about to say something when she heard Xiaofanâs voice from his bedroom.
âI think I heard someone scolding me?â Bai Xiaofan leaned against the wall in the corner and raised his chin as he looked at Parker.
Parker widened his eyes. He suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened further.
Qingqing only had her parents and a younger brother. Who was this young male? Surely he was not...
Parker suddenly experienced what the word âawkwardâ meant.
Despite feeling bitter in his leopard heart, he didnât show it on his face. He gazed at Bai Xiaofan as though nothing had happened and even gave him an elegant and presentable smile. (His work had trained him to do so).
âHello! I was kidding just now.â The quick-thinking Parker then added, âYou donât know, do you? Qingqingâs nickname is Doggie.â
Parker graded himself full marks for this explanation.
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes and didnât bother to be polite with him. âQuickly go back to work!â
Having taken a clear look at his face, Bai Xiaofan straightened his body in astonishment and gasped. He stared at Parkerâs face and said, âAre... are... are you Parker?â
âEh? You know me, too?â Parker ignored his mateâs attempt at chasing him away and warmly headed towards Bai Xiaofan. âMy name is Parker. Here, this roast duck is for you.â
Bai Xiaofan covered his mouth. When the aroma of the roast duck entered his senses, he lowered his head and glanced at it, the corners of his lips involuntarily twitching twice.
âIf I recall correctly, you were planning to give this roast duck to Furry?â Bai Xiaofan said.
Furry, who had been pestering Bai Qingqing for the roast duck in vain, immediately turned around and ran over when it heard Bai Xiaofan call its name. The way it was rubbing against Parkerâs leg made Bai Xiaofan feel certain that he hadnât seen it wrong.
Parker let out a dry cough, mercilessly kicked the dog away, and handed the roast duck to him. âThis one is for you.â
Bai Xiaofan slurped his saliva and took it from him. âSince youâre so sincere, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse. Alright, Iâll accept this roast duck.â
Having said that, he picked up the roast duck and started chomping on the entire thing.
Bai Qingqing got anxious and strode over to him. âHey, Bai Xiaofan, are you really going to finish that by yourself?â
Pointing at the roast duck that Furry had made a mess of, he said in a muffled tone, âIsnât there one more over there?â
Too furious to speak, Bai Qingqing pointed at Bai Xiaofanâs face with a trembling finger before finally saying indignantly, âFine! You win!â
Seeing his spouse looking so pissed off, Parker quickly coaxed. âIâll buy another one for you later.â
âI donât want it. Youâd better go back quickly.â Bai Qingqing urged.
Upon hearing this, Parkerâs face became dejected, and he glanced at Bai Xiaofan pitifully.
As the saying goes âgifts blind the eyesâ. Bai Xiaofan instantly stood out and said, âHow can you treat a guest like this? To think youâre even my older sister. How can you not have any manners?â
Though Parker didnât agree in his heart, he nodded repeatedly.
Bai Qingqing couldnât help but think of Bai Xiaofanâs attitude towards Curtis. Contrasting his attitude towards Parker and him, she couldnât help but marvel.
While she was absorbed in her thoughts, Bai Xiaofan had already invited Parker to play in his room. âCome, letâs ignore my sister. The two of us can play without her.â
As Parker walked, he even cast a smug look at Bai Qingqing.
As she watched them enter the bedroom, Bai Qingqing thought: Seems like two people of similar ages hit it off better.
Based on the ages in the beastmen world, Parker was still very young.
