Chapter 141 Drinking Her Lemonade (Fifth Update)
Ao Cang felt it was unnecessary, but seeing Qiao Mei's enthusiastic expression, he swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue.
However, he was much taller and bigger than Qiao Mei.
She wanted to teach him how to cut from behind, which was actually quite difficult.
This problem was only discovered when Qiao Mei herself took charge.
After trying for a long time, it became clear that she needed to add a small stool so she could stand on it and take advantage of the situation more effectively.
She decided to simply give up and not take up any more space. After wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead, she told Ao Cang to step aside and that she would cut it herself.
"You can do the pounding later."
Cutting lemons is not a skill; Qiao Mei cuts things very quickly, finishing in less than half a minute.
When she went to wash her hands, Xu Hui made a voice call to her via her personal terminal, asking her to help Xu Heyu move some luggage.
After agreeing, she glanced at the boy who was diligently mashing lemons and said something to him.
"You should be able to do the rest yourself. Just put the mashed lemon and soda together and stir it. You should know how much to add by looking at the bottle Xu Heyu made before, right?"
Ao Cang didn't remember at all, but once Xu Heyu was involved, he unconsciously felt a strong competitive spirit. Instead of telling Qiao Mei the truth, he lied and nodded, "Yes."
"Okay, I'll go downstairs then. I'll wait to come back and try what my Cangcang made!"
After Qiao Mei finished speaking, she took off the apron she had put on for herself, opened the door, and went downstairs.
Ao Cang was left staring at the shards of lemon on the cutting board, unsure of how many to throw in and mash.
Five minutes later.
When Qiao Mei arrived at Xu Heyu's bedroom, she looked at the large and small bags he had packed and asked him if the computer bracelet was already full.
"Yes, I have a lot of books, so I'll probably have to move these over there."
"Okay, give me some, I'll help you carry them. My smart bracelet doesn't have enough space either, I can probably only fit about ten books in."
And these bags and packages contain at least a hundred books.
She had no idea how Xu Heyu had managed to gather so many books in less than a week.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"It's alright. My mother isn't feeling well either; she has a bit of a cold and can't help you. If she can't help, then of course I have to. Aren't we friends?"
Xu Heyu looked at the girl who had already carried some books and was walking in front of him, but did not immediately respond to her.
Instead, he stared at her waist-length natural curly hair with a complicated look for a while before saying in a hoarse voice, "You're right, we're friends."
It's always better to be friends than strangers.
He can't be so greedy, so eager to get rich quick.
Qiao Mei had no idea what Xu Heyu was thinking. She helped him run back and forth several times and basically moved everything for him.
He actually took a bottle of homemade lemonade from the refrigerator in their new home and poured her a glass.
"Have a drink, I see you're sweating from exhaustion. Don't you like this?"
The lemonade in the glass was filled with round ice cubes, and Xu Heyu had added them to the glass. They were now standing under the lights.
The light beam shone on the glass of lemonade, instantly making it much more attractive.
Qiao Mei was hot and thirsty. When she saw the lemon soda that Xu Heyu handed her, she was like a traveler who had been thirsty for a long time who had found water. She took it and was about to gulp it down.
But after only taking a small sip, she remembered that Ao Cang was also making this, and it might already be finished. If she didn't leave some room in her stomach, she wouldn't be able to drink it later, which would definitely make him sad.
So she could only suppress her urge to continue drinking, put down the lemon soda she had only drunk a small portion of, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a wet tissue again, and thanked Xu Heyu.
"Then I'll be going now. If you need any help with anything else later, just send me a message on your mobile phone."
Xu Heyu looked at the glass of lemonade that still had a lot left, her blue eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Okay, then I won't see you off."
"Um."
Once she was sure Qiao Mei was far away, Xu Heyu, under the shocked gaze of Little White Wolf Zhuifeng, picked up the remaining glass of lemonade and brought it to her lips.
The cup showed obvious signs of use. Before Xu Heyu could make his next move, Zhuifeng interrupted him: "Master, you're not going to drink this lemonade, are you?"
But his homeowner is a bit of a germaphobe and wouldn't eat or drink other people's leftovers, so why is he like this now...?
Xu Heyu's eyes flickered, and after her Adam's apple bobbed, she replied, "No, I just think it's a bit of a waste. I'll have to take it to the kitchen to empty it and clean it up. Could you go and check if the villa door is locked?"
Zhui Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
After watching Zhui Feng's figure walk further and further away, the young man did indeed take the remaining glass of lemonade into the kitchen.
But instead of emptying and cleaning it up as he had told Chasing the Wind, he did not do so.
Instead, she stared at the rim of the cup where Qiao Mei's saliva had left its mark for a while, and finally, with trembling eyelashes, she put it in her mouth and gulped down the lemon water that Qiao Mei had drunk from.
The lemon water was iced, and after drinking a whole glass, one's body should feel cool. But Xu Heyu felt incredibly hot and his head was spinning.
Zhui Feng had already finished checking the door lock and returned, only to see his master standing there with a cup containing only lemon juice, his earlobes slightly red. He asked, puzzled, "Master, what's wrong?"
"No." Xu Heyu suppressed the heat in her ears and poured out the remaining lemon from the cup.
Zhui Feng wasn't sure if he was mistaken, but he actually smelled a lemon soda scent coming from Xu Heyu's mouth.
But after thinking about it, I realized that his owner wouldn't do such a thing, so I didn't dwell on it any further.
.........
After Qiao Mei returned to the bedroom, Ao Cang, in order to save time in his human form, had already transformed into a dragon and said that the iced lemonade was ready and placed in the small refrigerator in the room.
"Okay, let's take a shower first, then it'll be best to drink it after the shower."
Ao Cang had no objections. He went in with his black dragon scales gleaming and came out with his dragon scales turning red. Qiao Mei then gave him a new set of pajamas to change into, while she went to get the lemonade he had frozen in the refrigerator.
At first glance, the lemonade looks like it's almost half full of lemons.
Qiao Mei was stunned. After a moment of surprise, her brows furrowed instantly.
She didn't dare drink it directly, but waited until Ao Cang changed into his new pajamas before asking him if he had tried the lemonade he made himself.
The boy nodded his head: "I've tried it, and it tastes similar to the one Xu Heyu made."
"Really?" Qiao Mei was a little skeptical, but to save face for Ao Cang, she still took a sip.
Chasing the Wind: This isn't my master. (Can't bear to look)
