Chapter 173 Sneaking Around
After Gong Jing finished speaking, fearing that Qiao Mei wouldn't understand, he gave her a vivid analogy.
"It's like a lethal weapon; once activated, there's a high chance it will go out of control. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qiao Mei nodded: "I understand."
If she remembered correctly, when she first met Teng Ying in the black market, she used her water-type familiar's superpower to save Shang Duojin. At that time, she used her water-type familiar's superpower, and even when she used her superpower to draw shapes in class this morning, she could clearly feel that Teng Ying had a good grasp of it.
It doesn't seem to be as out of control and dangerous as Miyazaki described.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it. If she did, Gongjing would know that she was trying to verify some information with him, so she didn't ask any more questions and finished lunch with him.
Before leaving, Gongjing didn't forget to praise her strength and talent, and told her, "You are a promising talent. If you are unable to improve your strength or do anything because of the royal family, you can come to me. I should be able to help you."
Qiao Mei and Gong Jing hadn't known each other for very long, and as teacher and student, they weren't even that close in a strict sense.
In this situation, his sudden offer of help would seem suspicious to most people.
Qiao Mei was no exception.
So I didn't take what he said to heart at all, thinking he was just being polite.
After nodding and making a perfunctory gesture, he left with Ao Cang.
Only Ao Cang, who was good at judging people, noticed the sincerity in Gong Jing's green eyes when he said he wanted to help Qiao Mei.
This further fueled his desire to participate in Qiao Mei's life as a person.
That evening, when Qiao Mei and Shu Qingqing gave Teng Ying small gifts, he didn't go with them. Instead, he stayed on Qiao Mei's bed, constantly moving his dragon body back and forth, pondering how likely Qiao Mei would agree.
And, if he really does participate in her life in human form, will it bring her a lot of trouble?
Currently, he can only maintain his human form for a maximum of six hours, while a day has twenty-four hours.
If he were to reveal his true nature, he would need to find a way to disguise himself for another eighteen hours.
Unless, of course, his physical lifespan can be extended, that is, at least twelve hours.
Just then, I heard the light brain bracelet that Qiao Mei had left on the bed vibrate.
She's not here, so he can't use her fingerprints.
If you want to peek, you can only try a combination lock.
"What could An'an's password be...?"
Ao Cang first tried her birthday, but found it was wrong. Then he tried a few simpler passwords that many people use.
Finally, after testing his dragon claws until they were a little sore, he looked at them and suddenly remembered the date when they first met in the Sacred Beast Domain.
After thinking for a moment, I tentatively entered 0.
He remembered clearly that they met on March 30th, and he didn't know if it would work out.
Just then, Ao Cang heard a sound indicating that the device had been successfully unlocked. He stared blankly at the desktop with a photo of him and Qiao Mei.
My feelings were complicated, yet my heart was overflowing with sweetness, and the smile on my lips almost reached the back of my head.
"I knew it..." The Dragon God smiled, his golden eyes crinkling, but the smile vanished instantly after he opened the message box.
The person who sent the message was Xu Heyu, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
He said that the Dragon Boat Festival was just around the corner, and he had received a batch of high-quality zongzi from the federal army. He delivered them to her house the day before the festival and asked her if she would have time then.
If not, I'll see in the next few days and find a time to meet him so he can deliver the things.
Perhaps to prevent Qiao Mei from overthinking, he added a sentence later.
He said he wanted to give the gift personally because he felt it would show more sincerity.
Ao Cang, watching, had already started to imitate Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin's eye-rolling antics, and began to roll his eyes rather clumsily.
Looking at Xu Heyu's post about sending zongzi the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, he muttered under his breath, "Choosing this day to send them, knowing An'an's mother's personality, she definitely won't let you spend the Dragon Boat Festival alone. Such cunning humans..."
After muttering to himself, Ao Cang revealed his two dragon claws and began typing on the optical computer screen with some skill.
It probably took him almost five minutes to type out a complete sentence, albeit haltingly: "Keep the zongzi for yourself."
After clicking send, he quietly watched as Xu Heyu sent a series of messages. Once he stopped responding, he hummed as he opened the Interstellar Encyclopedia and searched for how to clear the quantum computer's message history.
Detailed steps quickly appeared.
Ao Cang followed the steps slowly, cleaning as he went.
He had just finished when Qiao Mei and Shu Qingqing brought Teng Ying into the dormitory.
Hearing the sound coming from the doorway startled him, and he quickly put the smart bracelet back in its place and pretended to be asleep in bed.
Qiao Mei went to the bedside and poked his body with her finger, telling him to get up and take a shower.
He pretended to have just woken up and slowly climbed onto Qiao Mei's neck, completely forgetting that his heart was still beating very fast because he felt a little guilty.
Qiao Mei noticed his unusual behavior and glanced at him with her eyes down.
I noticed he wasn't the same as before; he didn't talk much before taking a shower anymore, and something felt off.
So, while I was giving him a bath, I thought about the "bad things" he might do.
There were only a few things on her bed, besides some small items, there was his jewel nest.
And then there's... her supercomputer bracelet?!
Ever since Ao Cang secretly did some indescribable intimate things to her last time, she has been more cautious and has been secretly turning on the recording function of her computer bracelet.
After she finished giving him a bath, she used the excuse that she needed to buy some toiletries to take the computer bracelet inside and immediately paused the recording function and rewound the recording.
Then, Ao Cang rolled his eyes in a very uncharacteristic way, a somewhat stiff but sarcastic gesture.
Qiao Mei: "...What exactly is going on?"
She opened several recently used apps and found that they were Star Encyclopedia and the Light Brain Message Center.
The Star Encyclopedia still has search history, and the most recent one is titled "How to clear the message history in the quantum computer message center?".
She then opened the computer's message center and searched through the most recent chat windows one by one.
She quickly discovered that Xu Heyu's message history with her had been cleared, indicating that Xu Heyu had said something that upset Ao Cang.
Qiao Mei was quite good at coding, and after a few tweaks, she was able to restore her and Xu Heyu's message records.
Ao Cang: ? Didn't I just waste my time?
