Beauty and the Beasts Chapter 1400 - You Carry the Load, I’ll Lead the “Horse”

Chapter 1400: You Carry the Load, I’ll Lead the “Horse”

When Winston and Muir walked out of the boutique with the sugarcanes on their shoulders, the pedestrians outside automatically gave way and stared at them curiously.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t resist laughing. She turned her head and said to Parker, “Don’t you find it familiar?”
Parker’s eyes rolled around, and he nodded. He held her hand and suddenly started singing as though he had gone crazy: “Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng, deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng…”
Parker started singing the classic theme song of “Journey to the West[1]”.
Bai Qingqing: “…”
The onlookers started sizing him up with weird gazes. Bai Qingqing ferociously glared at him.
So embarrassing. How she wished she could pretend she didn’t know this fellow!
Having no self-awareness at all, Parker continued singing. “You carry the load~ I’ll lead the horse~”
As he sang the line “I’ll lead the horse”, Parker even cast a deliberate glance at her.
“Go and die!” Bai Qingqing kicked his butt.
Winston and Muir’s countenances instantly turned awful. Was Parker implying they were Pigsy and Sha Wujing[2]?
Curtis’s mouth also twitched.
Parker held a hand to his butt and ran a few steps away, then turned around and mimicked a monkey scratching his butt. “De! I’m the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Monkey King[3]. Demon! Watch my rod!”
As he spoke, Parker pounced at Bai Qingqing and raised his arms, assuming a posture of swinging down the rod.
Having grown up in the beastmen world, Parker had been around animals his entire life. He did an excellent mimicry of a monkey. Though it was entirely different from the original Monkey King, it wasn’t inferior at all. The audience was surprised at how good he was.
Bai Qingqing fled by reflex and hid behind Curtis, successfully avoiding his blow.
The onlookers roared with laughter and nearly mistook them for street performers.
Hearing the laughter from all directions, Bai Qingqing couldn’t bear to look at them. She bumped her head against Curtis’s back and said, “So dumb. I don’t want to be around him. Let’s hurry up and leave.”
Curtis held back a chuckle and nodded, then held her hand and strode away.
Winston and Muir also quickened their pace.
Once Bai Qingqing left, Parker’s cheeky manner was immediately kept away and went back to being a tall and aloof handsome man. He completely ignored the friendly attempts of women hitting on him, pouted, and started giving chase.
Due to the huge contrast, the onlookers were dazed.
Bai Qingqing found a restaurant whose signature dish was “Roast Suckling Pig” and asked for a big private room. When Parker hurriedly caught up to them, Curtis was seated on Bai Qingqing’s left, and the seat on her right was vacant. The minute Parker came he dashed straight for the seat on her right.
“Go away. It’s too humiliating being next to you.” Bai Qingqing shoved him away with a look of disdain before the latter managed to sit down.
Then, the seat that Parker had set his sights on was snatched away by Winston.
Parker froze, for it had never occurred to him that even Winston would snatch away his seat. Alarm bells went off in his head.
Parker sat down opposite of Bai Qingqing, and the minute he looked up, he saw her rolling her eyes at him. He touched his nose in embarrassment and said, “I couldn’t help myself. The similarity was too shocking.”
Bai Qingqing said with a smile, “You’ve already become an Internet celebrity. Still not toning it down?”
She absolutely wouldn’t admit that she herself had also hummed that classic song in her heart earlier. In fact, even before Parker started singing out loud. Strictly speaking, she was actually the one who reminded him.
Parker sat there with an expression of one being lectured. After Bai Qingqing finished speaking, he licked his lips and asked, “What food is there? I’m famished.”
“Roast suckling pig. One each. It should be enough to satisfy your hunger for now. If you guys are still not full, we can go to another restaurant.” Bai Qingqing started feeling gluttonish as she spoke.
