Chapter 107 Jealousy
Qiao Mei looked up at him and noticed that, without her noticing, rainwater from the west had dampened his bangs, obscuring his slightly melancholy blue eyes. He looked like a stray cat that wanted to approach people but was too afraid to. She sighed again.
"Of course not. If we're just friends, that's fine, provided that what you said earlier is true."
The implication was that if she found out he was lying to her, they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heyu gripped her palms even tighter with her nails, but her face remained expressionless as she replied in a gentle voice, "Of course, let's go."
Qiao Mei remembered that Qiao Yingying was his official love interest, and thought that he had suddenly started to follow the plot and adhere to his male lead character setting, so she temporarily believed him.
She didn't notice the burning gaze Xu Heyu was giving her when she turned her gaze back to the road ahead shrouded in rain and mist.
And even deeper blue eyes than before.
......
"We've arrived. Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal after military training. I'll also invite Qingqing and Boss Shang."
Xu Heyu was a little surprised to hear this, but when she saw that Qiao Mei's eyes really looked like those of someone who only looks at friends, the ridiculous thought that had risen in her heart quickly disappeared. With a perfect smile on her face, she agreed and said goodbye to Qiao Mei.
This scene was witnessed by a little black dragon who had been eagerly waiting for Qiao Mei to return from the window. The joy that Qiao Mei had felt upon her return was immediately overshadowed by a strange sense of suffocation.
He flicked his dragon tail, and the whole dragon looked like a wilted blade of grass, sullenly crawling from the window toward the bed.
Just as he was about to return to his bed, which was filled with Qiao Mei's scent, he remembered seeing her and Xu Heyu sharing an umbrella. He paused in his crawling, then changed direction and crawled towards the gem nest that was basically just for show.
The gemstone nest was icy cold and very uncomfortable to sleep in.
As the Dragon God felt his dragon body enveloped in coldness, the sapling in his heart, which had been growing well, also suffered from the frost and drooped.
"Click..."
"Cangcang, I'm back! Have you been waiting long?"
Qiao Mei closed the door to block the cold wind from outside, turned on the dormitory light, and subconsciously looked at her bed, but did not see the little black dragon that should have been there, and was stunned for a moment.
"Cangcang?" Her gaze began to move around the room, and finally she saw the figure of a little black dragon in the gem nest that she had bought at a high price, but which Ao Cang had hardly ever lain in.
"Wow, that's strange. Why did you sleep there today?" Qiao Mei didn't notice that Ao Cang's mood was a bit off because his hair and clothes were wet with rain. She just glanced at him, opened the wardrobe, took out her clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Hearing the sounds coming from inside, Ao Cang's already suffocating heart felt even more aggrieved.
He tried to alleviate the strange reaction by closing his eyes and sleeping, but it didn't work.
As soon as he closes his eyes, the scene he just saw while peering out the window automatically replays in his mind.
Xu Heyu is outstanding; he is handsome, has a great personality, and is very capable.
Standing next to Qiao Mei, they looked like a match made in heaven, as humans would say.
he.......
Ao Cang opened his eyes to look at his ugly dragon body and suddenly found it a bit glaring.
So he endured the pain of his power not being fully restored and transformed into human form, which was not much different from Xu Heyu's, but took even more of his power to transform into an eighteen-year-old human form.
He stood in front of the full-length mirror to see his own reflection.
After his gaze lingered on his body, which was not even a fully solid entity but only in a semi-transparent, semi-solid state, for a while, a look of embarrassment and inferiority flashed in his golden eyes, and he awkwardly transformed back into his dragon form.
Afterwards, it returned to its gem den and curled up like a defeated stray dog.
A sense of gloom and defeat permeated the entire dragon.
Qiao Mei took a quick hot shower and then washed and dried her hair.
After coming out, I wanted to ask Ao Cang if he wanted to take a shower, but I found that he seemed to have already curled up asleep in the gem nest, so I didn't choose to ask him.
I glanced at the time; it was only 9:30 PM.
"That's strange, I've never gone to bed this early before." The girl murmured to herself as she got into bed, covered herself with the blanket, and still didn't touch Ao Cang, or even say a word to him.
The little black dragon, who hadn't been asleep at all, heard her getting into bed and covering herself with the blanket, and the grievances that had been building up inside him slowly began to surface.
His long, thick eyelashes trembled, showing that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"Buzzing..."
Qiao Mei checked her smartwatch and found that Xu Heyu had sent her a voice message.
Upon listening, he said the following: "So, when we meet up for dinner, remember to ask your two friends in advance what you want to eat. I don't have any dietary restrictions, so you can eat whatever you want."
This voice message, played aloud by Xu Heyu, became the final straw that broke Ao Cang's psychological defenses.
He deliberately swung his dragon tail hard, turning the dragon's rear end towards Qiao Mei's position. The corners of the dragon's eyes turned maple red, and a sour feeling uncontrollably gathered at the dragon's nose. The golden eyes were gradually filled with misty water, and the dragon's body trembled pitifully.
His flicking of the dragon's tail successfully attracted the attention of the girl who was about to reply to Xu Heyu's message.
She turned off her smart bracelet and called out to him for the third time after returning home that evening: "Cangcang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Feeling unwell? Even when I'm not feeling well, you haven't come to check on me.
Even if it's just asking.
As the Dragon God silently grumbled to himself, tears welled up in his eyes even more the moment he heard Qiao Mei's voice.
It had reached the point where tears would fall if he simply blinked his dragon eyes.
Qiao Mei didn't hear any response from him. She noticed that his body was still trembling slightly. She frowned and hurriedly got out of bed, not even having time to put on her slippers.
She asked him anxiously what had happened.
Ao Cang still ignored her, stubbornly continuing to face her with his dragon rear end, only this time he swung his dragon tail with even greater force than before.
At this moment, Qiao Mei had already stepped onto the soft carpet and arrived at the gemstone's nest. With an anxious expression, she turned Ao Canglong's body over.
In that instant, she was caught off guard and met a pair of wet, dragon-like eyes.
The two tears that Ao Cang had been holding back finally fell as Qiao Mei flipped him over. One landed in the gemstone nest, and the other landed on the back of her hand, burning her heart as if someone had branded it with a hot iron.
"Cangcang, why are you crying? Is your body in pain? Should I perform another offering for you?!"
Qiao Mei never expected to see this scene. In her confusion, she took out all the interstellar coins in her savings, not even the ones worth a few cents.
Just as she was about to begin the offerings again, Ao Cang interrupted her, his voice tinged with a hint of defiance: "Don't do it, I won't accept it."
Ao Cang: I'm angry! I'm angry!!
