The most awkward person was Bai Qingqing. She was the one who made that skirt! And it turned out to have such an effect.
Staring at that visibly bulging spot, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but recall what she saw yesterday, causing her cheeks to heat up.
Gazing at Bai Qingqing’s flushed face, the excitement that Winston barely managed to suppress exploded.
Qingqing is very pleased with my reproductive organ, isn’t she? Will she accept me because of this?
At this thought, the scar on Winston’s face twisted slightly, making his face involuntarily contort into a grotesque manner.
Forget it. I’m so ugly, and my face is even scarred. I should stop daydreaming.
“Thanks. The skirt feels very comfortable,” Winston said with a solemn face. No abnormality could be detected on the surface.
Bai Qingqing chuckled twice, before quickly shifting her gaze away from that particular spot on Winston’s body. “Glad to hear it suits you.”
Why the hell didn’t he say it’s tight? Brother Winston, if you put it this way, I’d be too embarrassed to suggest altering it for you! Can’t you sense that that spot is very visibly sticking out?
Parker’s eyes widened as he shouted, “What? You made it for him?”
Bai Qingqing continued sewing the animal skin with her head lowered. She replied softly, “Mm.”
Hot air puffed out of Parker’s nose as he fixed a glare upon Winston while rubbing his claws against the ground.
Upon hearing the scratching sound, Bai Qingqing hurriedly raised her head. She pulled Parker by the hand and made him sit down by her side.
“Let me lean against you, I feel so cold.”
Taking her words for real, Parker hurriedly picked up the blanket and covered both of them with it.
Winston said, “I’ll go and inspect the village.”
“You’re going like this?” Bai Qingqing asked in passing. He usually inspected the village in his beast form, for it was more convenient. But this time, he didn’t look like he was planning to transform.
Winston stroked the skirt around his waist and nodded affirmatively. “Mm.”
Bai Qingqing suddenly understood the reason—he couldn’t bear to take off the skirt.
Ignoring him, Parker caressed her head. “Are you very cold? I’m heating the food. Once you eat something, you won’t feel so cold anymore. I’ll bring over a bowl for you.”
She hadn’t felt so before this, but now that he mentioned, she did feel hunger setting in. She nodded and replied, “Okay.”
Lunch was trotters stewed with chestnuts and starch noodles. Due to the superb ingredients, Bai Qingqing felt that it tasted even better than the version found in the modern ages.
As she was nursing her kids, she wasn’t afraid of putting on weight, so she gleefully ate two large bowls.
Ever since she arrived in the beastman’s world, her appetite had increased quite a lot. This was a blessing for a foodie.
Bai Qingqing took only an hour finishing the animal skin skirt for Parker, as she only had to sew one side, which was around tens of stitches. If it weren’t for the fact that the animal skin was too tough, she would have completed the task in ten minutes.
Parker excitedly changed into the new skirt and paraded around the house.
“It’s better looking than the ones I made. I like it.”
Bai Qingqing felt an immense sense of satisfaction. In a moment of rashness, she promised, “I’ll be responsible for your skirts in the future! I have nothing better to do, anyway.”
Going out to play might mean incurring trouble.
Bai Qingqing’s joints cracked as she stretched.
Parker’s heart ached to see his mate so tired. He said, “No need, just do it if you wish to. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“Mm.” Bai Qingqing nodded with a smile.
…
After the accumulated snow was removed, the scorpion beastmen never entered the village again. As the weather grew increasingly colder, the biggest threat faced by the village was no longer the scorpion tribe, but food.
As for the females, they stayed inside their tree holes every day, and Bai Qingqing was no exception—she would only go down when she wanted to relieve herself.
Early this morning, Bai Qingqing went down the tree to the sandpit as usual and heard the voice of a female she hadn’t heard for a long time.
“Bai Qingqing!”
The startled Bai Qingqing pulled up her clothes and got to her feet right away.
