Bai Qingqing was so delighted that her laziness instantly vanished. With a blanket wrapped around her, she sat upright.

The gloominess instantly faded from Parker’s face, to be replaced by a sunny smile. He walked to the nest and pulled her into his arms.

“Did you miss me? Did you eat well these few days? Are you used to Winston’s cooking?”

Curtis also stuck up his head from his coils and transformed into a human, before walking to Bai Qingqing’s other side.

“Mm, mm. I’ve been missing you guys every day. Why were you gone for so long?” Bai Qingqing complained. Then, as it struck her that they might have been delayed because they ran into danger or something, she hurriedly modified her previous remark. “It must have been very tough, huh? Were you injured?”

“No, it’s just that we couldn’t move very fast because we were bringing along that village’s females.” As he spoke, Parker watched Bai Qingqing’s face very intently. After a good while, he voiced his observation. “You’ve gotten fatter.”

His tone sounded a little glum.

“Pff.” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help sputtering with laughter. Parker must have thought that she would grow thinner due to Winston’s awful cooking.

But Parker did have what it took to be proud of his culinary skills. Too bad he belittled a glutton’s capability. Having eaten many oranges these few days, Bai Qingqing’s appetite had been excellent. In fact, she would even feel the stomach acid if she didn’t eat.

“You seem quite happy at home,” said Curtis.

Though his tone was bland, Bai Qingqing, who had lived with him for two years, could read the coldness in his voice. Also, the hidden meaning—Seems like you’re able to live a happy life even without me.

“Hehe… it was okay I guess,” Bai Qingqing said embarrassedly and stiffly changed the topic. “Why is it so noisy out there? How many females did you guys bring back?”

She got up with the blanket wrapped around her and walked to the entrance to look downwards. The sight that greeted her made her eyes widen.

Damn, what’s with all those tents?
