Beauties and the Beasts

(Ch.10)Hot pot

I was sleeping soundly with my fluffy body warmer when I felt as if the earth shook, I darted open my eyes and instantly sat up as I screamed "It's an earthquake!".

When I got a proper look around myself, I saw the unfamiliar yet familiar walls and two faces who were looking at me with a shocked expression.

I saw Qingqing's hand in the air above my above my thighs which were covered with the fur blanket, instead on the ground I was on the hay bed with Qingqing beside me.

Sam was holding a big barrel which was filled with water, he asked if I alright? To which I replied him with a big bright smile, "I'm all good Sam" which instantly brought that bright red blush on his face.

I mean it when I said I was all good, after all who won't be if they got to see a popular idol who is now even your boyfriend, walking half naked the very first thing in the morning.

I turned to my other side and while rubbing Qingqing's head, I wished her a "good morning bimbo~" in a cheerful tone.

She blushed and greeted me the same when another greeting came from behind, "Go.. good morning Kyra!",

I smiled at Sam's words because it was clear he wasn't familiar with this kind of greeting yet he still tried after seeing me and Bai.

I stretched out my arms and walked toward Sam, I took him by a bit of surprise because he stiffened instantly and because of this some of the water got spilled out of the barrel.

I chuckled and rubbed his head messing with his hair, as I said "Good morning Sam~" making him to give me a sunny smile.

"Sister..." suddenly a slow call came for me, I turned to look that Bai was standing behind me while gently holding the hem of my skirt.

I looked at her questioningly when Sam replied to answer me, "Kyra, Qingqing wanted to go to the sand pit and that's why she woke you up".

Ohh! So that's the reason, but why is she hesitating this much? Isn't that something natural and obvious.

I nodded, showing my understanding and asked Sam to tell me the location of this 'sand pit'.

Before starting our walk, I asked Qingqing to give her a piggyback ride but to my surprise her foot was already healed.

Looks like I was pretty wrong in judging Harvey for his professionalism.

Sam volunteered to walk us there, during the walk he told me that it's the public sand pit but he will create a personal one for us near his house. I didn't have any opinion on anything so I was simply nodding on everything they were deciding.

By 'they' I mean Sam and Qingqing because the little girl was telling him about toilets from our world, Sam looked pretty interested in this new thing too so he was asking her if he could make one for us.

Their conversation was ongoing while I was looking around, sunrise was definitely very beautiful with the environment and the coolness that was coming from the cold sand and dew on the grass because we were walking barefoot was pretty refreshing.

The pathway we walked wasn't isolated because there were some stone houses on the sides, but except for two to three random males, I never came across any other living person wether it was a beastman or a female.

"Sam, where are all the villagers? I didn't see any female either.." I asked while looking around as I was walking side by side.

"Males are usually hunting at this time whereas females are probably asleep, even I was surprised when I saw that Qingqing woke up this early, she told me that it's pretty normal from where you are!" he said in his usual excited tone.
