Chapter 162 was his first time, when he couldn't control himself.
"Here, drink this tube and see. If it works well, I'll see if I can get you some more."
Qiao Mei was extremely tense. When she reached out her free right hand to take the vial of recovery fluid and was about to drink it, she saw that Shu Qingqing was about to sit on the bed. She immediately became nervous and moved the young man who was still on top of her a little further into the bed to prevent Shu Qingqing from sitting on Ao Cang's body.
As she moved, Ao Cang's head and body pressed even closer to hers.
This made his head spin, and for some reason, his body temperature rose considerably.
It's very similar to when he was in heat before.
Shu Qingqing looked at Qiao Mei's strange behavior with suspicion in her eyes: "Qiao Qiao, why do I feel like you're acting a little strange?"
Qiao Mei almost choked on her words from Shu Qingqing's words, but thankfully she had a strong mentality. After stiffening for a moment, she calmly gulped down the rest of the recovery fluid and said, "What's so strange? Alright, the auction is about to start. When you get there, remember to give Boss Shang a live update in the group chat. Let's go!"
"But how could I..." Shu Qingqing wanted to say something more, but Qiao Mei shoved the empty recovery fluid tube into her hand and pushed her out.
She glanced at the blanket that Qiao Mei was covered with tightly and felt something was off, as if there was someone else hiding inside.
But she and Shang Duojin could see the only entrance to the house, so they should have noticed if someone had come in.
He could only suppress this somewhat absurd guess, leave the house, and go to the auction with Shang Duojin and the others.
Qiao Mei strained her ears and heard the door close before she breathed a sigh of relief and went to lift the blanket that she had been tightly covering herself with.
"Alright, Cangcang, come out now. Are you feeling suffocated?"
It was only when the blanket was lifted that she realized how deeply Ao Cang's head was buried in her arms. She couldn't even see his face directly; all she could see was his flushed profile and his ears, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
"No..." Ao Cang's head was buried so deep that when he spoke, the hot breath he exhaled hit Qiao Mei, making her feel itchy and her body a little numb.
Ao Cang raised his head and looked at Qiao Mei, whose eyes were slightly misty, and the feeling of being in heat became even stronger.
He always knew that Qiao Mei was very indulgent, even doting, and would basically never refuse any of his requests.
So he followed his instincts, wrapped his arms around her waist, lifted his head and rubbed his nose against hers, saying in a low voice, "But An'an, I feel a little uncomfortable, my body is so hot..."
Qiao Mei's eyes reddened a little more from his rubbing. She suppressed the dryness in her throat, hugged his waist, and asked him where he felt unwell.
"I don't know, it's just that being closer to you makes me feel a little better."
But it's only a little bit.
His skin yearned for greater intimacy with Qiao Mei, but he wasn't sure how to express this desire.
"Are you in heat again? But I just helped you last time, didn't I?"
The girl was a little stunned, and reached out to touch his body to feel its temperature.
During his heat cycle, his body temperature was extremely high, like a freshly rubbed hand warmer she used in modern times, even a little hot.
And now...
Although the temperature of my palm was relatively high, it was far from being scalding.
That's not what she thought.
Qiao Mei withdrew her hands and began to consider the possibility that Ao Cang might have a fever. She moved her hands from his waist to his face and cupped his head, using her forehead to feel his body temperature.
This brought them very close together; Ao Cang could even feel Qiao Mei's breath and see the fine white down on her face.
And... after she finished drinking the recovery fluid, her lips appeared to have a slightly glossy pinkish hue.
He didn't want to keep looking at her there, but when he saw her lips moving as she said, "That's strange, she doesn't have a fever," his body instincts beat his reason, and he moved his head closer and kissed her.
The moment their lips touched, they both froze almost simultaneously.
Especially Qiao Mei.
She looked down in surprise at the golden eyes so close to hers, and clearly saw his undisguised desire and longing within them.
Ao Cang belatedly realized what he had done, quickly releasing the soft lips from his mouth, his face flushed red as he stammered an explanation: "An'an... I... I don't know why I did it, you..."
Qiao Mei was amused by his innocent appearance. She sighed softly, pinched his cheek, and interrupted him, saying, "It's okay. I won't hate you because of this. What kind of relationship do we have? It's fine for you to be a little closer to me."
He kissed her first, which surprised her a little.
Although this wasn't the first time, it was the first time he couldn't control his feelings for her.
Ao Cang was comforted by her. After his eyelashes trembled, he looked at the spot on her face where his glistening saliva had touched her, and asked her softly, "Then... can I continue?"
Qiao Mei couldn't have asked for more. She smiled broadly, her deep red eyes giving him her answer through her actions.
Only when Ao Cang was a little out of breath did she take pity on him and give him a chance to catch his breath, asking him why he had fallen into the sewer.
"According to the plan, you should have returned after obtaining the dragon blood. I noticed your situation at the time, and you should have been able to meet up with me much earlier. Why didn't you come?"
Ao Cang lightly bit his slightly swollen lips, lowered his head, and adopted a vulnerable appearance: "I saw that you and Cong Lie hadn't gone too far, so I thought I'd buy you a little more time, and then..."
"Then she used up too much divine power and couldn't maintain her human form anymore, and somehow ended up in the sewers?!" Qiao Mei was a little angry.
When she and Ao Cang split up beforehand, she clearly told him not to be reckless, and he agreed readily.
But in the end, they still didn't keep their word!
Ao Cang sensed the anger in Qiao Mei's voice, and lowered his head even further.
Then, like a cat or dog that has done something wrong and wants its owner to forgive it, it rubbed its face against hers, intertwined its big hand with hers, and said in a pitiful voice, "I'm sorry, An'an, I did something wrong."
Qiao Mei couldn't possibly bear to be angry with him, especially since he was only doing this for her sake.
She could only sigh, cup his face in her hands, and lightly peck his red lips, saying helplessly, "This won't happen again. If there's a next time..."
Ao Cang: I knew she would make me do that!! (Confidently spouting "arrogant words")
