Curtis was the one who captured the prey they had for dinner. After eating, the family of four returned to the top story. At the sight of the new snakeskin in the bedroom, Parker realized that Curtis had shed his skin, not consumed a transparent crystal as he had assumed.
Seeing this snakeskin reminded Parker of the scene where Bai Qingqing was captured. Hence, he pulled a long face at Curtis. After tidying up his nest, he said to Bai Qingqing, "Qingqing, sleep with me today."
"Sure," Bai Qingqing replied after a moment's hesitation.
Although today was the big day where Curtis shed his skin, Parker had been slogging for half a day. If she didn't show some bias towards him, he would surely feel highly aggrieved. Moreover, since Curtis couldn't be exposed to the sun, Parker would have to be the one tending to the rice fields. Hence, Bai Qingqing wanted to make it up to Parker a little.
