Chapter 69 I will have unlimited tolerance and forgiveness for you (Third update)

"The topic we didn't finish discussing yesterday..."

For a moment, Qiao Mei couldn't recall what Ao Cang had actually said.

Until he glanced meaningfully at the personal terminal on her wrist and said, "Edit the video."

Only then did she realize that he was referring to the fact that she had secretly made little figurines in his image.

"this......."

Qiao Mei stared at the message Xu Hui had sent on her personal terminal, asking what she wanted to eat for dinner. She adopted a delaying tactic, saying she would tell her after dinner.

Ao Cang saw through her deliberate act but was in no hurry to expose her.

Since he's with her all the time, she can escape for a while, but not forever.

Qiao Mei wasn't really good at relationships. That evening, on her way to dinner, she went to the bathroom and then consulted Shu Qingqing, asking her if she was good at relationships.

After reading the message sent by Qiao Mei, a face involuntarily surfaced in Shu Qingqing's mind, along with some past memories that she was about to bury.

She thought for a moment, took the lollipop out of her mouth, and her fingers flew across the electronic keyboard. When asked why she suddenly asked that question, did she encounter some difficulties?

Qiao Mei: [It's like this, my mother has an admirer, a senior who has helped me a lot. This senior has feelings for my mother, but he's afraid that if my mother finds out, she'll find him disgusting. He's very troubled by this, which is why he's asking me, a junior, for advice. But I don't know much about this kind of thing, so I wanted to ask you.]

After finishing, Qiao Mei silently apologized to Li Chonghua and Xu Hui in her heart.

The main reason is that even to Shu Qingqing, she didn't dare to tell her that she liked Ao Cang.

If she didn't say it outright, she was afraid Shu Qingqing would think she was still hung up on Xu Heyu, so she had to resort to this last resort.

Shu Qingqing hadn't expected Qiao Mei to lie. After sitting for a while, she saw a passage that actually overlapped with one of her own personal experiences and offered a solution.

Shu Qingqing: [It really depends on the nature of that elder's feelings for your mother. If he just wants to possess her and constantly tries to take from her, then I think it's better to be direct. Because what he wants is pure and simple; if your mother is interested in him, she will definitely reciprocate.]

On the contrary, he just wants your mother to be happy, but your mother hasn't expressed any affection for him. I think it's better to maintain a silent support relationship. That way, at least a basic friendship can be maintained. Otherwise, there's a high chance that the relationship will completely deteriorate.

“It’s dropped to freezing point…” Qiao Mei stood by the window looking at the message on the information panel, recalling her previous interactions with Ao Cang.

She discovered that she couldn't find any reason why Ao Cang might also be interested in her.

After thinking for a moment, he thanked Shu Qingqing and left the restroom.

After dinner, she helped Ao Cang wash up and go to bed. Surprisingly, she didn't touch him while he was still in his youthful state. Instead, she sat up straight, looked at him seriously, and said, "I've made up my mind."

Seeing this, Ao Cang's small hand, which was about to touch her skin, paused in mid-air. His golden eyes met her red eyes, waiting for her to continue.

"I really like your image, simply because I like it, without any other factors involved. It's like when I see a toy I like or a piece of clothing I like. Plus, there was a time limit for creating the character, and if I created another familiar character, I would be recognized. I couldn't think of anything else, so I just used your image. It's safe, and I also find it pleasing to the eye. That's it!!"

After rattling off these half-truths and half-lies, Qiao Mei didn't even dare to look Ao Cang in the eye before turning off the light, lying down, pulling the covers over her head, and closing her eyes in one swift motion.

She was afraid that if she was even a step too slow, Ao Cang would interrogate her about the matter.

The Dragon God's eyesight was excellent even at night, so he could clearly see the expression on the face of a girl whose thick, long eyelashes were still trembling rapidly even though her eyes were closed.

Her lips were pursed into a straight line, and the skin on her face looked very taut; it was obvious that she was very nervous.

Looking at her like this, and recalling her answer earlier, he knew perfectly well that she hadn't been telling the truth.

But with his current abilities, he couldn't figure out what the truth or reason she hadn't told him was.

He could only gently lift the covers, lie in her arms, wrap his arms around her slender waist, bury his head in her warm embrace, and say in a muffled voice, "There's no need. If you feel you can't tell me the truth right now, there's no need to force yourself to lie to me. You can just tell me you can't give me an answer right now because..."

At this point, Ao Cang raised his head and looked through the night at the girl who had opened her red eyes in surprise and looked down at him. He continued, "I personally believe that I am not just anyone to you. You can have unlimited privileges with me, and I will also have unlimited tolerance and forbearance towards you."

In reality, the privileges he tacitly granted her, he had already unknowingly used on his own behalf on numerous occasions...

After saying that, the Dragon God withdrew his gaze from Qiao Mei's red eyes, buried his head in her arms again, took a deep breath of her natural fragrance, and said, "Of course, I'm not saying these things to blame you, I just don't want to see you so conflicted and troubled because of me. I don't seem to like seeing you unhappy."

Ao Cang's words were like a boulder thrown into the calm lake of Qiao Mei's heart, stirring up a thousand waves.
