Seeing his spouse sleeping so soundly, Winston didn’t have the heart to wake her. So, he quietly stood by the side and gazed at her face while she slept.

But for some reason, Bai Qingqing woke up from being watched. She mumbled something, then opened her eyes.

​ 

As her vision focused, she saw Winston’s figure. Bai Qingqing instantly snapped awake and gasped as she leaped to her feet.

“Winston? Why are you here?” Bai Qingqing lowered her voice and asked. Then, detecting a faint alcohol smell, she sized him up with a shocked expression.

Winston said, “I…”

Before he finished his sentence, his mouth was covered by Bai Qingqing’s hand.

She glanced at the podium in horror, before holding Winston’s hand and stealthily walking out. Only after getting some distance away from the classroom did she let down her guard a little.

“Why did you suddenly come to look for me? If you’re discovered, I’ll be dead meat.”

Bai Qingqing patted her chest, feeling a lingering fear. She then turned her head and looked at her classroom, before pulling Winston and continuing to head down the stairs. “Let’s go. We need to find a safer place. I don’t dare to return to the classroom again, lest we get caught.”

Winston glanced at his arm which was being held by her, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Quietly, he followed Bai Qingqing to the waste disposal area of the classroom building.

Though practically no one came here, Bai Qingqing was still worried. So, she pulled Winston behind the wall of the refuse dump, just in case.

“Is something the matter? Why are you holding a beer bottle?” Bai Qingqing asked strangely, feeling deeply worried about her mates.

Should she take a leave of absence for a few days and properly teach them how to live in the modern age?

But what excuse should she use? She couldn’t use family as an excuse.

Winston placed the beer in her arms as though presenting a treasure. “I brought this here for you to drink.”

Cough!

Bai Qingqing nearly choked on her saliva. She totally couldn’t bear to look straight at Winston’s serious countenance.

“You came here just to give me beer?” asked Bai Qingqing.

Winston nodded. As he did so, he indistinctly felt that his actions were somewhat inappropriate.

Bai Qingqing was caught between laughter and tears. “We’re not allowed to drink in school. Besides, I’m not fond of drinking it either.”

Disappointed to hear that, Winston’s thick eyebrows furrowed deeply. “Really?”

Bai Qingqing pounded a fist against his chest and said with a smile, “Nonetheless, thank you. There’s plenty of good stuff here. We don’t need to rely on alcohol to treat illnesses and warm up one’s body. If you wish to store alcohol, we can store some fine baijiu¹. Beer can simply be drunk as a beverage.”

“Mm,” Winston responded in a deep voice. His hunky body cowered underneath the low wall, making him look aggrieved like a young wife.

Bai Qingqing gazed at him in amusement for a while, then edged closer to his lips and asked, “How much have you drunk? You reek of alcohol all over.”

Recalling the look of disgust on Parker and the rest, Winston suddenly panicked and retreated by reflex. “Does it smell awful?”

He had taken a shower and also drunk plain water. The awful stench had been washed off, and the smell of alcohol had become much fainter as well. Not having the acute sense of smell of beastmen, Bai Qingqing naturally wouldn’t find it awful.

She shook her head and said, “It’s alright. Why did you drink so much?”

Winston said, “It contains energy.”

Bai Qingqing said with a smile, “Even then, you can’t consume it as a primary source of food. You should eat more meat. Also, don’t go around eating all sorts of random things. Got it?”

Even though he was troubled over where to get his food for the next meal, he nodded and said, “Mm, got it. Don’t worry about me.”

Legs turning numb from squatting, Bai Qingqing twisted her body in discomfort. Winston instantly sat down on the floor and put her on his lap.

“You haven’t been sleeping properly, right? Sleep on my lap for a while,” said Winston.
