Winston lay down for two days and then woke up slowly. Before he opened his eyes, he already smelled the light fragrance that was unique to his mate. He was instantly infatuated.
After appreciating it for very long, Winston gradually opened his eyes. As expected, Bai Qingqing was seated next to him, her curly long hair hiding the side of her face. He had no idea what she was doing.
“Qingqing?”
His hoarse voice rang out in the bedroom. Bai Qingqing raised her head and a surprising smile beamed on her face. “Winston, you’re awake? Curtis was right. Parker made light soup, I’ll bring you a bowl. You’re seriously injured and should eat lighter food.”
As Bai Qingqing said this, she put down the needlework she was working on and wanted to get up. However, a big hand grabbed onto her arm.
This hand was tanned and wide, filled with power. It completely wrapped around Bai Qingqing’s slender and fair arm, seeming like it would break easily. The strength and weakness formed a stark contrast, yet looked extremely harmonious, as if they were meant to be a pair.
Winston’s face was pale, but his strength was massive. Bai Qingqing was unable to move at all.
Bai Qingqing felt a little pain from his grip, but her heart settled down. The smile on her face became even brighter. “It seems like you’re really fine now. You have such great strength.”
“It’s so nice to see you.” It’s really nice to see you the first thing I wake up. Winston felt so blissful and satisfied as if he was going to soar to the clouds, and the indulgence and longing in his voice were really strong.
Bai Qingqing was influenced by him and her heart softened. She leaned toward Winston, picked up the animal skin, then continued with her work.
“Alright, I won’t leave. I’m making this animal skin skirt for you. It’ll be done soon. Do you have the strength to get up and try it on later?” Bai Qingqing then threw him a glance, feeling some anticipation about his reaction.
Even if Winston couldn’t get up, he’d definitely force himself to, so that he could respond to his mate’s intentions. Moreover, his body was almost mostly recovered.
“En,” Winston replied in his deep voice, his eyes fixed on his mate’s side view.
Bai Qingqing lowered her head and sewed quickly and skillfully. She could sense Winston’s gaze, and her lips curled up into a light smile uncontrollably.
Any other smarter girl wouldn’t sit down like this by her lover’s side. There was no other reason than this angle being too harmful. It was the complete opposite of the best selfie angle of “45 degrees upward inclination”. It was a 45 degrees downward inclination.
This posture and angle caused some flab to stack under Bai Qingqing’s chin. When seen from a lower angle, it looked a little like baby fat, but it didn’t look ugly. Instead, it made her look cute and adorable.
The more Winston looked, the harder it was to avert his gaze. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Bai Qingqing’s waist. He breathed in his mate’s body fragrance, feeling extremely satisfied.
With Winston sick, all the work at home landed on Parker. Curtis didn’t slack, either. He had great strength and there was no one else who could do a better job than him to move the behemoths. It was just that it’d take him close to one day per trip.
Parker was often the only male left alone at home to take care of things. When he passed by the hall, he captured the sound of Winston talking with his sharp hearing. He ran over quietly to sneak a look.
Winston and Bai Qingqing no longer had anything to talk about, but the way they were leaning together intimately looked so harmonious.
Parker instantly was overwhelmed with jealousy. He ran to the kitchen, scooped up a big basin of light stewed meat, and ran over.
He had just stepped through the bedroom’s door when the fragrance of the food was scattered by the wind. Bai Qingqing’s nose twitched, and she immediately looked up.
“Parker, you’re so timely. I was fretting over how to bring the food over.” Bai Qingqing waved her hand at him, urging him to hurry up. She felt that the food was tempting and couldn’t help but slurp her saliva.
Winston threw her a glance and sat up slowly. “You’re hungry? Let’s eat together.”
