Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1379: Underground Bunch Meeting Up

The doorknob started to turn, making light “kaka” sounds. Parker instantly went on his guard, pulling his mate behind him, having his back arched as he stared at the doorknob.

Bai Qingqing was so anxious that all the hair on her body stood up, and she quickly said, “Mommy, I’m fine.” She then quickly pushed Parker out of the window.

Mommy Bai then opened the door. She only vaguely saw a shadow flashing by and didn’t see it clearly. After blinking and seeing that there wasn’t anyone else in the room, she thought to herself that she must have seen it wrongly.

“What were you screaming for earlier? You scared both your dad and me awake.” As Mommy Bai said this, she saw that the room was filled with glass shards and quickly walked over to the windowsill to look down.

Bai Qingqing followed behind her nervously while explaining, “The glass suddenly shattered. I was given a fright.”

After saying that, she also saw the scene outside the window. Thankfully, Curtis and the others weren’t there anymore.

Mommy Bai frowned and asked, “Did you quarrel with your classmate? Is it a classmate who is taking revenge on you?”

Bai Qingqing let out a stifled laugh, hugged her mom’s arm, and said, “No. A child was playing with a ball when it smashed into the window. After I tossed the ball down, he ran off?”

“Really?” Mommy Bai was skeptical about this. “Whose family is he from? I’ll go to his home to ask for compensation after I get off from work today.”

Bai Qingqing smiled and said, “That child said that he’ll compensate us. If I see him later, I’ll go ask him for it.”

“Alright. It’s still early, hurry up and go back to sleep.” Mommy Bai rubbed her daughter’s head and yawned as she walked out.

Bai Qingqing heaved a long breath, closed the door gently, then returned to the windowsill to look outside.

“Parker? Curtis?”

A sewage lid on a small street opposite opened and Parker’s head popped out. His expression was hard to describe with words.

He sneezed a few times and climbed up as if he was escaping from something. “To think that there are so much feces underground. It’s too horrifying!”

“Pffft!” Bai Qingqing leaned on the balcony and laughed. As she watched her mates climbing out from the underground sewage one by one, she found it funny, but at the same time, her heart ached for them.

Curtis had gotten used to it. Muir’s expression wasn’t too good, either. However, Winston’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. After getting up, his gaze was fixed on her.

Bai Qingqing felt great pressure from being looked at and said in a soft voice, “Go find a place and wait for me. I’ll come down right away.”

Winston nodded. Bai Qingqing immediately changed her clothes and tidied herself up. She then put on her backpack and secretly left the bedroom.

“Howl~” Furry raised its head from its dog bed. It first shrank back a little in fear, then, after seeing that she was alone, it summoned its courage and ran over.

“Go away. I’ll play with you in the afternoon.” Bai Qingqing kicked away the plump dog and then sneaked out.

Furry had clearly smelled an unfamiliar scent again. It snorted strangely, then kept on following after her whiffing non-stop.

Bai Qingqing glared at Furry helplessly, blocking it and opening the door. After walking out, she rapidly closed the door. This was Bai Qingqing’s personal experience. If she was slightly slower, Furry would dash out and go crazy.

Bai Qingqing met up with her four mates under a small tree in an inconspicuous location.

Winston and Parker were clothed and could take the public transport back. However, Muir and Curtis had been summoned here from their sleep and were both in their beast forms.

Bai Qingqing looked at them and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Curtis and Muir, why don’t the two of you find a place first—ah, no.” To avoid them darting into the sewage again, Bai Qingqing changed her words anxiously, “Go hide in my bedroom first. I’ll come to get the two of you after I pick up some clothes for you.”

Muir threw Curtis an inquiring glance, who immediately shook his head and obstinately went toward the sewage.
