Chapter 121 Swimsuit
But she arrived a little late, and when she got there, Qiao Yingying's figure seemed to have vanished into thin air.
I glanced at the cashier robot standing at the checkout counter, responsible for monitoring.
Qiao Mei didn't want to alert Ao Cang. After lowering her hat, she quickly led him out of the convenience store and found a quiet beach chair outside.
Looking around and confirming that everyone was eating or taking a nap under the bright sun, Qiao Mei turned on her smart bracelet and began typing out a series of codes that Ao Cang couldn't understand.
In her previous life, Qiao Mei was a mecha designer who not only mastered the skills of drawing and modeling mechas, but also taught herself programming courses to facilitate the debugging of mecha operations in the game.
Even if I'm not skilled enough to be hired by a major internet company, I can still manage to access surveillance footage.
Of course, this was also on the premise that she had thoroughly understood the situation on the interstellar side.
Through her investigation, she discovered that the programming language in StarCraft, including C, was largely the same as modern programming languages. She had already made up for the minor differences by catching up on her knowledge and finding ways to make them compatible.
Soon, a progress bar popped up indicating that the progress bar had reached 100%. After Qiao Mei clicked on it, Ao Cang saw the scene in front of him, which was inside a convenience store, and realized what Qiao Mei had just been doing.
She dragged the timeline back.
The playback stopped only when Qiao Yingying appeared on screen.
She didn't stay in the monitored area for long. Shortly after entering the convenience store, she walked straight to what appeared to be the back door of the store.
After the door opened, she quickly disappeared.
After that, Qiao Mei fast-forwarded through the next section.
Only her and Ao Cang's figures remained; Qiao Yingying never came out of that door again.
Seeing this, she didn't rush to close the live surveillance video. Instead, she wondered whether she should push open the door and go in, or wait a little longer.
After all, her current strength level is not high, and Ao Cang still has many injuries, so his own strength is not very powerful.
After careful consideration, she gave up and got up to take Ao Cang back to their hotel room.
Ao Cang was a little puzzled: "An'an, we've already found her whereabouts, why don't we go with her?"
Qiao Mei locked the convenience store's surveillance footage into the program box of the smart bracelet and patiently explained it to Ao Cang.
"So, is it because you're afraid of encountering difficulties you can't handle?"
"Yes, that's right. And Qiao Yingying is a very complicated person. I guess it's impossible to catch her wrongdoing in one go." Qiao Mei sighed softly, remembering that Qiao Yingying was the female lead in the book and had a protagonist's halo. She felt that even if they caught her wrongdoing and brought her to justice, it would probably be a long process.
"How could you say that?"
Qiao Mei patted Ao Cang's dragon head, just like when he asked her before why she insisted on choosing him as her familiar, and replied with an expression he couldn't understand: "I'll tell you when the time is right. It's not possible now."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Ao Cang didn't press her and followed her back to the hotel for a midday rest.
In the afternoon, just after two o'clock, Qiao Mei was knocked on the door by Shu Qingqing, who told her to quickly change into her swimsuit so they could go swimming.
Qiao Mei woke up after a half-hour nap. She had been busy answering questions on the interstellar mech website to earn money and had completely forgotten about swimming in the afternoon. Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment and asked Shu Qingqing if there were any swimsuits for sale nearby.
"I was planning to go buy it after lunch and resting for a while, but I suddenly forgot."
"What? You didn't bring a swimsuit?" Shu Qingqing was stunned. Seeing that Qiao Mei was about to go down to buy a swimsuit after glancing at the swimsuit section outside the window, she stopped her.
"Why buy anything else? Use mine. I brought extras. I wasn't sure which color to wear, so I brought two colors. You're about the same height as me, so you should be able to wear both. Swimsuits are expensive on the beach here. Wouldn't it be better to save the money and drink fresh coconut juice later?"
Qiao Mei wasn't quite familiar with the local customs. Seeing Shu Qingqing take out a swimsuit from her smart bracelet, which was in a sealed, opaque bag, and hand it to her, Qiao Mei had no choice but to accept it and thank her.
"Then I'll treat you to the coconut juice later."
Shu Qingqing had no objections and told Qiao Mei to quickly change into her swimsuit while she went to call Shang Duojin and the others.
She had already changed into her swimsuit, but she was wearing a jacket over it, so only her thighs were visible. Qiao Mei subconsciously assumed that the swimsuit Shu Qingqing had given her must be rather conservative.
But once she got into the bathroom and took the swimsuit out of the sealed bag, she realized that it wasn't like that at all.
The swimsuit that catches the eye is bright yellow, and both the top and bottom are tied up.
The straps were very thin, and while they looked good on her curvaceous figure, the marks left from yesterday were quite noticeable.
She glanced at the little black dragon whose scales were already covered in a thick pinkish hue, sighed helplessly, and found a coat to cover her upper body, intending to wear it even when she went into the water.
Ao Cang was still wrapped around Qiao Mei's neck, but this time, because she was wearing less clothing, the fragrance he could smell from her was even stronger.
The smoke made his head spin, and because he had just seen the old marks on Qiao Mei's body, his mind automatically started replaying the events of last night.
Qiao Mei was unaware of this. When she led Ao Cang down the hotel's light elevator, she discovered that the sky outside had darkened, and Xu Heyu and the others had also arrived at their destination ahead of time.
However, even after the sky darkened, there was still some unseen sunlight shining through the thick clouds, making it a bit hot on people.
"Qiaoqiao, coconut water is sold over there. Go buy some first, and I'll help you set up a folding lounge chair!"
Shu Qingqing stood not far away, facing the fierce sea breeze, and placed her hands in circles beside her cheeks. After speaking to Qiao Mei, she began to lay out a folding deck chair.
Looking at the overcast sky and listening to the sound of the waves crashing against her ears, Qiao Mei's mood became uncontrollably gloomy.
Ao Cang was still nestled in her collar, dizzy and enjoying the fragrance emanating from her body, completely unaware of what was happening.
It wasn't until she bought the coconut water, carrying four coconuts in a bag, and distributed them to Shu Qingqing and the others, that Ao Cang noticed something was off about her expression. Just as she was about to start drinking, she was distracted and failed to insert the straw correctly into the leaf.
Shang Duojin only took a sip of the ordinary coconut water before disdainfully tossing it to Lei Ting. Afterward, he put on his goggles, grabbed his surfboard, and pulled Xu Heyu along, saying they should go surfing together.
Shu Qingqing was still happily applying sunscreen when she glanced at Shang Duojin and his companion, who hadn't taken any precautions. Disdainfully, she looked away and asked Qiao Mei if she had applied sunscreen.
He asked a question, but Qiao Mei didn't respond, so he repeated, "Qiao Qiao, are you listening to me?"
Ao Cang: I can't look, I can't look... (blushing)
