Chapter 1312: Poisonous Lightbulb
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing how much Bai Qingqing cherished money, Curtis knew that she didn’t have much of it. Likely because of that, she wasn’t living too well. As her spouse, never mind if he couldn’t support her. To think he even needed to use her money.
He must earn money as quickly as possible so that Snow could forever be rid of this darned sense of crisis.
Earn money and support you—although these words sounded tacky, it was practical. Just these words alone were enough to flutter the hearts of women. Moreover, Bai Qingqing understood Curtis’s feelings for her.

To her ears, these were the most moving and romantic words on earth. She giggled and leaned against Curtis’s chest with a blissful expression.

“Alright, hurry up and sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow,” said Bai Qingqing.
“Mm.” Curtis laid flat with her in his arms. Looking at the bright-as-day lightbulbs on the ceiling, then at the pitch darkness outside the window, he asked in a perplexed tone, “What’s this? Is it a sort of luminous ball?”
He had seen many of such light spots before he entered. When the skies darkened, the light spots on the floor were more numerous than the stars in the night sky. He had wanted to pluck one to gift to Snow, but unexpectedly, it had smashed before he could do it. It even pierced him and gave him a numbing sensation all over.
An idea suddenly struck Bai Qingqing, and she laid upon Curtis’s chest and said with a serious expression, “Oh, right. This is an electrical appliance. Don’t touch it unnecessarily. It can kill.”
Curtis said, “Are you referring to the poisonous substance that makes one go numb?”

The corners of Bai Qingqing’s lips twitched. “Don’t tell me you’ve already been electrocuted.”
“I indeed came across one outside. But it’s okay, after shifting my hand away the numbing sensation stopped,” Curtis said, not minding it at all.

Bai Qingqing put a hand to her forehead and then pulled him up before introducing to him all sorts of electrical appliances. Although Curtis wasn’t fearful, he didn’t exactly want to be electrocuted again, so he made a mental note of everything she said.

…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was still dim outside the window. Outside, the roads were lit up with a hazy glow, while in the room, Bai Qingqing and Curtis were soundly asleep when the slamming of the door was suddenly heard.
The alert Curtis opened his eyes abruptly. There wasn’t a hint of sleepiness in his eyes as he riveted his gaze upon the room door.
“Wake up, breakfast is ready!” Bai Xiaofan’s voice rang from outside the door.
It was already time for breakfast. Bai Qingqing had slept till now because she had lost her phone and hence didn’t set up an alarm.
Out of habit, she initially wanted to laze around in bed. However, sensing Curtis’s alertness, she forced herself to sober up.
“It’s alright. That’s my younger brother,” Bai Qingqing whispered. She then shouted at the door, “I’m awake!”
Curtis then squeezed his way into the blanket and circled his slim, long and soft arms around her waist.
Bai Qingqing said with a smile, “I need to get out of bed now. You can sleep in a little longer. Don’t make any sound. It’d be terrible if they find out you’re here.”
Ssss~ Curtis lazily responded, reluctant to part with his spouse’s warm body.
With much difficulty, Bai Qingqing crawled out of his arms and started to change her clothes.

At home, she wore her casual pajamas that had great elasticity. Whether she grew a little fatter or thinner, she would be able to fit into it. Right now as she put on her bra, much to her dismay, Bai Qingqing realized that she was no longer able to fit into it.
Oh heavens! How am I going to go out today?!
Bai Qingqing did everything she could to stuff her boobs into her bra, but no matter how she shifted them, they would spill out. She was on the verge of a breakdown.
Did she have to steal her mother’s bra? Seems feasible, since her parents were about to go off to work soon.
Just as Bai Qingqing’s eyes rolled about in thought, Curtis curiously stuck out his head to look upon hearing no movement from her for some time.
“Do you want…” Midway into his sentence, Curtis suddenly started chuckling.
