Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1432: New Weibo

Bai Qingqing whipped out her phone and glanced at the time. There was still five minutes before her lunch break ended. Hence, she said, “Forget it. Let’s chat for a while.”

Winston said gently, “Sure.”

Bai Qingqing settled into a comfortable position as she leaned against Winston’s arms, then turned on her Weibo and said, “Parker is too good at getting into trouble. Let me browse Weibo and see if he made it into the trending search again.”

Bai Qingqing browsed Weibo for a while, and unexpectedly really saw a new post featuring Parker. To her surprise, this time Winston was also featured.

That was a photo, quite a clearly taken one at that—in the photo, two men were standing with a pile of rubbish between them, and one of them was holding a can of dog food with the lid open and happily munching on the dog food.

Bai Qingqing: “...” Should she blame herself for jinxing this?

“What’s going on here?” Bai Qingqing raised the phone to his face and asked in a dangerous tone.

Winston merely took a glance before shifting his gaze away. However, he took the phone from Bai Qingqing’s hand, afraid she would see him on it.

So, it turned out there was such a huge difference between him and Parker when they stood together—Parker was handsome and gave off a sunny vibe, whereas he was quiet and ugly.

“No idea,” Winston said glumly.

Bai Qingqing said, “If you guys hadn’t done this, would someone have taken a photo of you? Weibo is nearly becoming a channel for me to find out about how you guys are doing. Speak. What exactly is going on? Where did this can come from? Why are you guys eating all this nonsense instead of taking your meals properly?”

Canned dog food plus beer. What an ultimate combination. Parker probably ate this way too, huh?

Feeling a headache, Bai Qingqing shook her head and snatched her phone back. It was then that she realized that the can looked a tad familiar.

“Isn’t this can from my home?”

Winston confessed honestly. “Parker took it from your home. He gave me two cans.”

Bai Qingqing: “...”

If it weren’t for the fact that Parker ate the same thing himself, she would definitely suspect that he was bullying Winston.

“I really wish to take a leave of absence now.” In the end, this was what Bai Qingqing said with a wooden expression.

Winston very much looked forward to it. But sensing there’d be implications to “taking a leave of absence”, he forced himself to say, “Don’t be so hard on yourself. We’re males, we can take care of ourselves.”

Bai Qingqing let out a helpless sigh and said, “In that case, you guys should try to stay at home. I’ll have time to accompany you when my winter break starts.”

Winston nodded happily. “Mm.”

Ring ring ring.

The bell rang.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly stood up and said, “Hurry up and go out. It’s going to get crowded soon.”

“Take care of yourself,” Winston said reluctantly.

Bai Qingqing nodded perfunctorily and shoved him to the wall.

Seeing his spouse look so anxious, Winston had no choice but to suppress his reluctance and turn around to leave.

“Wait a minute.” Something suddenly occurred to Bai Qingqing, so she added, “Go back and tell Parker not to eat that canned food again. If there’s something you guys don’t understand, just ask Curtis and Muir.”

“Got it. You should go back.” Winston stroked her head.

He took a final deep gaze at his spouse, before leaping to a height of three meters and easily jumping over the school wall.

Under the classroom building, students started to move around. Bai Qingqing inconspicuously joined them and looked at Parker and Winston’s Weibo post as she walked with her head lowered.

On the corridor back to her classroom, Bai Qingqing bumped into the teacher in charge of keeping an eye on their class.

Though she felt sheepish, Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to run. She looked at the teacher and walked over.

“Bai Qingqing.”

The teacher called out her name, making her heart tremble. Having been a good student who always obeyed the rules for more than ten years, this was the first time she played truant. She felt incredibly sheepish.

“Why didn’t I see you at the end of class just now? Where did you go?” asked the teacher.
