Muir spread out his arms and said, “You can jump. I’ll catch you.”

“En.” Bai Qingqing looked around. The place was protected by the tree, and it was hard to look in from outside. She took in a deep breath and leaped.

The feeling of losing gravity from the plunge instantly caused Bai Qingqing to develop a sense of danger. The most intense reaction she felt was the snake tattoo on her ankle, followed by the eagle tattoo on her back.

She had been trying to hold her breath every day in school. This method had been very hard to produce an effect. In five days, Bai Qingqing had only managed to succeed three times. Every time, Curtis would be the first time to react and then stop her.

Therefore, she started to learn to suppress and target. On the third time, she made some success and could gradually sense Muir. She then was stopped by Curtis once again.

Because if she were to continue the act, Curtis would be teleported into the dorm because his mate was in danger of being on the verge of death.

This time around, Bai Qingqing was experienced. She forcibly suppressed Curtis’s spousal mark and tried hard to call for Parker and Winston in her heart.

The sound of wind brushed past her ears, then she landed in Muir’s sturdy embrace.

Muir had been prepared to catch her, but the spousal mark protection still took effect first. His figure flashed and, at the next instant, he fell to the ground together with his mate.

Muir subconsciously cushioned at the bottom, not letting Bai Qingqing fall. After they landed, he asked anxiously, “How are you? Did you get hurt from the fall?”

Bai Qingqing shook her head and looked around. She didn’t see Curtis and thus said in surprise, “Curtis didn’t come!”

Although Muir knew that Qingqing only didn’t wish to disrupt Curtis’s feeding, he still felt a secret sense of exhilaration, and his lips curled up secretly.

He settled her in his arms and got up. After her breathing settled down, he asked, “Did Parker and Winston show any reaction? If they were to come over, they should land in different parts of the world too, right?”

“En. Curtis wasn’t by my side when he came over, either.” Bai Qingqing put her hand to her heart, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “The distance was too far. I was unable to sense your existence. The other time, I only found out that you guys had come over after I met Curtis.”

After saying that, Bai Qingqing tugged at her clothes to take a look at the leopard tattoo on her chest.

Wrapped up by her bra, only the leopard’s head could be seen. Its mouth was opened as if it was laughing loudly.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but smile, too. “Parker, I miss you so much.”

“Let’s try another time. If they came, I should be able to summon them over directly this time around,” Bai Qingqing said.

“En.” Muir tidied his clothing and then his countenance changed. He put his hand into his pocket and said, “Oh no.”

“What’s the matter?” Bai Qingqing turned her head and looked at him. When he drew his hand out, her eyes instantly opened wide.

What Muir had taken out was a squashed box of condoms.

Muir wore a panicking expression and said anxiously, “I’m sorry, I squashed it. What’s this? Can it be bought?”

The word “condom” stood out in broad daylight.

Bai Qingqing’s face flushed up and she snatched the box from him. “Wasn’t this in my bag? Why was it in your pocket?”

Muir felt even more guilty, looking like a young boy who had committed a mistake. He lowered his head and said, “I wanted to ask you about it earlier and thus kept it on me.”

Bai Qingqing’s gaze became evasive as she walked into the house. Muir thought that his mate was angry and quickly followed after her, feeling both anxious and scared.

“It’s alright.” Bai Qingqing noticed his emotions and consoled him with a lowered head.

Muir said, “Let’s go and buy new ones.”

Bai Qingqing didn’t dare to raise her head. She’d be embarrassed to ask Muir to buy new ones. She opened up the box and said, “They might not be spoiled from being squashed. I’ll open one to check.”
