Chapter 640 - A Bag of Green Beans (2/2)

For the sake of preserving his life, Harvey could only painfully reject Bai Qingqing’s “show of affection.”

“I can just sleep anywhere,” Harvey said.

He was merely a lowly beastman who didn’t even have a single animal stripe. He wasn’t good enough for Bai Qingqing, much less to survive in such a powerful family.

Can just sleep anywhere… Bai Qingqing couldn’t help letting her imagination run wild. She recalled something she saw on an animal documentary, the image of a leopard sprawling asleep on a tree branch popping into her mind.

With the same old solemn expression on his face, but slightly relaxed upon hearing his response, Winston walked to Harvey’s side and patted him on the shoulder. “You’re a doctor, the village won’t treat you shabbily. We’ve long prepared accommodation for you.”

His tone was filled with respect toward Harvey. All of a sudden, with the weight of Winston’s hand upon his shoulders, he felt immensely stressed.

“Okay, many thanks.” Harvey braced himself.

Bai Qingqing also heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Winston silently in her heart.

Winston retracted his hand. “Please come with me.”

Harvey didn’t dare to speak incessantly, so he immediately left with Winston.

Parker had long started a fire by the side and was cooking the green beans with the ratio of water specified by Harvey.

The water had just boiled, and already, he anxiously lifted the pot lid to check. With the raw smell of green bean skin entering her senses, Bai Qingqing turned her head around and shouted, “Don’t lift the pot lid!”

“Mm?”

“Just cover it.” Bai Qingqing pressed upon Parker’s hand and closed the lid.

If they were cooking ordinary green bean soup, it would be no problem to lift the pot lid, for it didn’t have much effect on the taste. But since it was to neutralize poison, they had to make sure to keep the original color and luster of the green bean soup as much as possible.

Parker then recalled that Harvey indeed instructed him not to cook with the pot lid off, so he didn’t dare to lift the pot lid randomly anymore.

Bai Qingqing also stood guard beside the fire. Gradually, the aroma of green beans permeated through the sides of the pot together with the hot air. Just the smell alone and one could tell it tasted pretty good.
