Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1506: Keep an Eye on Your Girlfriend

Zhang Xin slowly looked towards her, the depth of his gaze not matching his age. Seeing such a Zhang Xin for the first time, Bai Qingqing found him scarily unfamiliar.

“Why are you doing this?” Zhang Xin edged closer and hit the wall next to her, forcing her back to press against the wall. In a raspy voice, he said, “Be with me. Whatever you want, I can give it to you too.”

Already 21 years old, Bai Qingqing hadn’t expected a youth in his teens to use the Kabedon[1] move on her. She froze momentarily before noticing what Zhang Xin had said, then she frowned in displeasure.

Bai Qingqing waved his arm away and retreated a few steps to maintain a safe distance from him, before saying in a low voice, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I can clearly see the sort of relationship you have with Muir.” Zhang Xin articulated each word clearly and suddenly sneered. “Does Ke Di know about you and Muir?”

Bai Qingqing’s face also turned cold as she said, “It’s none of your business. Don’t be a busybody.”

She had gotten too close to Zhang Xin. Going forward, she had to maintain a distance from him.

“I’m being a busybody?” Zhang Xin let out a bitter laugh. “I like you and don’t wish to see you be led astray, and you’re calling me a busybody? If you didn’t go out of line, I wouldn’t be interfering in your life. But if you carry on like this, one day you’ll regret it!”

Bai Qingqing gazed at him with a complex expression. She had had a crush on Zhang Xin previously. If she hadn’t gone to the beastmen world, she would probably have a relationship with him.

However, this guy was still a little boy, whereas she had already matured. Her heart would no longer flutter for such a child. She only felt moved.

Bai Qingqing’s expression eased, and she said, “You don’t know anything. I don’t care what you’re speculating. I can only tell you that it’s not what you think.”

“Then, what is it?” Zhang Xin pressed.

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “I can’t tell you.”

Zhang Xin grabbed her shoulders forcefully. “Tell me. Give me a reasonable explanation, and I promise not to pester you anymore!”

Bai Qingqing sighed again and said sincerely, “Trust me, it’s not a good thing for you to know too much.”

Based on her understanding, Curtis wouldn’t allow any existences that threatened him. This was a secret that implicated their safety. She mustn’t divulge it.

Zhang Xin released her in disappointment and shook his head. “I’m so disappointed in you.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

Having said that, Zhang Xin left dejectedly and didn’t even bother with the bell signaling the end of their noon break.

He dazedly sat on a flowerbed and took out his phone. After staring at it for a good while, he dialed a number.

Curtis had handed the egg to Muir, and the latter was squatting on a nest on a tree fork to incubate the egg. Curtis couldn’t bear to part with this spot with excellent feng shui, so he transformed into a snake and enjoyed the breeze on the tree crown. The surrounding plants could hide his body entirely.

All of a sudden, his cell phone that was placed on the rooftop rang.

Thinking that it was Bai Qingqing, Curtis’s upper body transformed into a human and he wrapped his tail around a tree branch, before lowering his body to pick up his phone.

“Snow,” Curtis immediately said.

However, an underage male voice was heard from the other end of the line.

“I’m Bai Qingqing’s classmate.” Zhang Xin said icily, “I just want to tell you to keep an eye on your girlfriend.”

Curtis’s delicate vermillion red brows raised slightly. “What do you know?”

Zhang Xin was shocked to read the testing intent in his voice. He actually knows about it?

“Aren’t you angry knowing that Bai Qingqing has other men?” Zhang Xin hadn’t planned on revealing Bai Qingqing’s personal matters, but he couldn’t care less now.
