Chapter 297 - A White Dress (1/2)
Curtis was the one who captured the prey they had for dinner. After eating, the family of four returned to the top story. At the sight of the new snakeskin in the bedroom, Parker realized that Curtis had shed his skin, not consumed a transparent crystal as he had assumed.
Seeing this snakeskin reminded Parker of the scene where Bai Qingqing was captured. Hence, he pulled a long face at Curtis. After arranging his nest, he said to Bai Qingqing, “Qingqing, sleep with me today.”
“Sure,” Bai Qingqing replied after a moment’s hesitation.
Although today was the big day where Curtis shed his skin, Parker had been slogging for half a day. If she didn’t show some bias towards him, he would surely feel highly aggrieved. Moreover, since Curtis couldn’t be exposed to the sun, Parker would have to be the one tending to the rice fields. Hence, Bai Qingqing wanted to make it up to Parker a little.
Parker revealed a broad grin. Lifting Bai Qingqing into his arms, he placed her in the center of the nest.
Curtis merely lowered his eyes and walked to his nest all by himself. He picked up his snakeskin and started to tailor clothes. By now, he knew Bai Qingqing’s body so well that there wasn’t a need to take measurements anymore.
In any case, he didn’t wish to sleep, so he decided he’d just let the leopard have Snow tonight.
Bai Qingqing’s skin still felt hot and prickly. The minute she closed her eyes, all she could feel was that uncomfortable sensation. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t get to sleep. Hence, she crawled to the edge of the nest to watch Curtis make clothes.
“Can you make other designs? I want to wear something looser. Something with two straps on the shoulders, so that it won’t slip off.”
Bai Qingqing gestured to her shoulders, then above her knees.
“Make it this long. I’ll just have to put on this one-piece before going out. Can you do that?”
Curtis smiled indulgently at her. “Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Bai Qingqing said cheerfully. She laid on her stomach on the grass nest and watched as Curtis skillfully sewed the dress for her. Parker also turned to the same side, transformed into a leopard beside Bai Qingqing, and slept with his face down.
