The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 296 Confession

After a long time,

Tianlu lifted Baijie's head, the pink flesh pads against his cheeks creating a strange sensation. Baijie looked up to meet his gaze, a mix of shame, secret joy, and embarrassment still faintly visible in his half-open eyes.

“Um… Bai Jie… is there anything else you haven’t told us? Seventy-seven…”

Tianlu paused, his lips twitched a few times, before he mustered the courage to ask.

"Does he know something?"

Bai Jie blinked, his small mouth slightly opening and closing without making a sound. Then he sat up, awkwardly turning his head away, his paws fiddling with the weeds on the ground, unsure of where to put them.

"It's just like what happened to you guys back then. Fei Fei told everyone she knew... and she even found out about the origins of the Four-Faced Beast and Seventy-Seven from her..."

The air seemed to freeze; Tianlu Bixie's eyes widened, his body stiff as a statue.

A gentle breeze ruffled their fur, and moments later, the two brothers' eyes flashed with intense killing intent!

"I'm going back to kill that guy right now..." Tianlu gritted his teeth!

Bai Jie hurriedly grabbed his hand, pulling Bi Xie along with him, "Wait, wait! It's not that serious, Fei Fei knows what's going on! She wouldn't talk nonsense!"

In the woods.

The white cat, still hanging on the rope to dry, suddenly shivered, and its lifeless eyes cleared a little.

……

"Bai Jie, you're still protecting her." Tian Lu angrily sat back down with his arms crossed.

Bai Jie wiped away his cold sweat and grinned helplessly.

He doesn't necessarily have to protect the other party, but since you're all going to kill her, shouldn't he try to protect her a little?

"Brother, I was wrong. Haven't you already taught her a lesson? You don't need to make another trip, right?"

He hugged Tianlu's arm again and buried his head in his arms, acting coquettishly. From an angle where no one could see, his face twisted in shame, and his big tail lashed out and slapped the ground.

This scene caught Tianlu's eye, and his anger instantly vanished. He closed his eyes and sulked for a long time before finally hugging his younger brother with his paws, letting out a soft hum.

"Alright then, for Bai Jie's sake, I'll let her off this time."

The chill that had crept up her back in the grove faded, and she flailed around a couple of times, looking around in confusion.

—What's going on? Why is it so hot and cold today?

She pondered for a few seconds, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that those two brother-obsessed girls are targeting me again?"

"Wait, then why has the chill disappeared?"

……

Let's return to the Pixiu.

The murderous intent in Bixie's eyes faded as his younger brother spoke, and his gaze towards his brother turned into helplessness.

Tianlu put his arm around Baijie, who tugged at his arm. After a moment of silence, he awkwardly brought up the question that seemed to have been deliberately or unintentionally avoided all along.

"What about Seventy-Seven and Four-Unlikes?"

"Yes."

Tianlu then realized what was happening, his grip on Baijie stiffened slightly, and his facial features almost contorted in pain.

Silence fell again at the scene, and Tianlu Bixie looked at the deceased with conflicted expressions.

The fact that they were dressed as women was eventually exposed. How were they going to go home and face the two beasts?!

"That Fei Fei!"

Tianlu's urge to kill the cat to silence her resurfaced. The cat, far away in the woods, shivered for the umpteenth time. She was certain that this fluctuating temperature was definitely caused by a cold!

"Um... so what should we do? Should we make them wear it too?" Bai Jie tightened his claws, raised his face, and asked with a glint in his eyes.

Tianlu frowned and immediately turned to look at him, "Why do I feel like you're the one who wanted to see Baijie?"

Bai Jie froze, his eyes widening in shock as he met Tian Lu's gaze.

"Are you really Tianlu? How could Tianlu be so perceptive?! He was like that just a couple of days ago, suddenly he developed a brain!"

Tianlu was stunned by what he was said. After regaining his senses, he immediately got angry and grabbed his brother's head, squeezing it hard!

"I've already told you I'm very smart! If Bai Jie keeps spouting nonsense, I won't be polite!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Tianlu, no, brother, be gentle!"

Bixie watched the two brothers playfully fighting, recalling the scene from back then in his mind.

Once they had calmed down a bit, Bixie, who was staring at the two beasts inattentively, suddenly asked a question.

"Then you guys should wear them too?"

Tianlu, with Baijie on his back, and the two beasts froze almost simultaneously.

After a moment of silence, their heads turned around, one after another, as if their joints were rusty, their faces filled with horror!

"Something's wrong! Something's really wrong! Tell me, who are you? No, whoever you are, get off Bixie right now!"

Tianlu suddenly straightened up, pointed at Bixie, and shouted!

A question mark slowly appeared on the head of the Pixiu brother.

"Actually, it's you two who have been possessed, right...?" Bai Jie muttered under his breath, still pinned down.

The question mark above the Pixiu's head went from one to three.

Bixie: What are these two idiots muttering about? Are they having a fit?

"Boom!"

"Ow!!"

After a physical therapy claw strike, Tianlu's eyes instantly cleared, and he crouched down, clutching the large bump on his head in pain.

"Ah—that familiar feeling is back... but why are you only hitting me...?"

Bixie withdrew his smoking fist expressionlessly. "Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?"

Bai Jie shrank back, thankful that his tantrum hadn't gone too far, otherwise he wouldn't have had a playful fight with Tian Lu, but would have gotten a punch from his older brother.

in the afternoon.

The solution to the family matter was put on hold, and the three brothers' lunch break ended before they could even finish discussing it after a lot of commotion.

They filmed until nearly dusk. Tianlu and Baijie finished their last shot and returned to each other, who were waiting outside. The crew inside the set began to pack up and prepare to leave.

The Pixiu's house is located halfway up the mountain.

Forced to take the lead, Bixie reluctantly took out the key and opened the door.

The lights were on inside. Seventy-Seven was hunched over the coffee table, biting her pen and racking her brains as she did her homework, while Four-Faced Beast was beside her, tutoring her with a headache in her hands.

Upon hearing the noise, both beasts turned their heads at the same time, and then their eyes lit up immediately, causing them to drop what they were doing and run to the door.

"Little Plum Blossom, you're back! You were busy until so late and didn't have time to cook, so I prepared something delicious for you."

The four-faced creature approached quickly with a bright, sunny smile, its large, furry ears twitching and its head slightly raised, ready to hear praise or thanks.

However, the plum blossom's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"Okay, I'll go check the kitchen."

Bixie gave an unnatural reply, then quickly walked past his feet toward the kitchen.

Si Bu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after her, "Hey, Little Plum Blossom, let me help you!"

After the two beasts left, Seventy-Seven excitedly came up to them, wagging his bushy tail and curiously asking.

"What fun things happened to you during your workday? Tell me about it!"

"Uh……"

A pair of expectant gray eyes fell into his gaze. Bai Jie uttered a syllable and then turned to look at Tian Lu without saying another word. Qi Shiqi also instinctively turned his gaze to him.

Tianlu's expression froze, and his forehead instantly broke out in a sweat with tension. His brain was working at full capacity, its CPU burning hot and running wildly!

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

"Tianlu, why is your head smoking?" Seventy-seven looked up slightly, bewildered, and could clearly see wisps of white smoke rising from his father's head.

Tianlu stopped his brain overload, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he raised his claws to press down on the other person's shoulder.

"Seventy-seven, finish your homework first before you play. I have things to do."

Bai Jie's lips twitched slightly.

—Did you rack your brains to come up with this excuse?

"Huh? Oh, okay...?" Seventy-seven nodded blankly, and then, without understanding why, Tianlu pushed him into the living room and pressed him back onto the sofa to continue studying.

Tianlu, meanwhile, grabbed Baijie and ran back to the bedroom in a flash.

After that, until the three brothers finished dinner, no matter how much Seventy-Seven and Four-Unlikes pestered him, Tianlu Bixie's response was always awkward.

After the meal, Bixie carried the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen to wash them, while Tianlu went directly to the door.

"I'm going out for a walk again!" With that, he quickly opened the door and ran away with short strides.

Seventy-seven looked around in bewilderment. The Four-Faced Beast had run into the kitchen to find a talisman, leaving only Bai Jie watching TV on the sofa in the living room.

He hesitated for a moment before moving to the other person's side, his gray eyes looking downcast and disappointed.

"Bai Jie, what's wrong with Tian Lu and Bi Xie? They've been acting strange since they came back, they're not talking to me at all...?"

Bai Jie opened its mouth, glancing at its two brothers out of the corner of its eye as their tails unconsciously wagged a little faster, and its paws nervously pawing at the sofa.

"Uh? Does Bai Jie know something?" Seventy-Seven noticed the other person's subtle movements as he looked down.

"Um……"

Bai Jie made a nasal sound, lifting his paws twice but still pulling Seventy-Seven's head close together.

The two little creatures quietly hid in a corner and whispered to each other. The little black Pixiu's expression changed unpredictably, sometimes surprised, sometimes sighing, its little face all scrunched up.

The Four-Faced Beast noticed them approaching curiously, and seeing that the two beasts were still whispering to each other, it suddenly inserted its large head into them.

"What are the sun and the block talking about? Let me hear it too."

"Eh!"

Both beasts were startled, their bodies stiffened, their tails stretched taut like springs, and the fur on their backs stood on end.

"Oh dear, did I scare you?"

The four-faced creature blinked its clear eyes, and a pair of golden unicorn horns swayed on its head.
