“I didn’t sleep well last night because of the heavy rain, which is why I’m like this today. But it’s not a big problem. It’s almost a two-hour ride in a hovercar from your house to Shizan Mountain, right? I can just sleep in the car.”
The terrain around Shizan Mountain is too steep for flying vehicles to travel on; only hovercars can use it.
Shu Qingqing had forgotten about the matter, and the worry on her face lessened a bit, but she was still a little uneasy, so she told Qiao Mei to drink more refreshing tea or coffee.
"The scenery at Shizan Mountain is beautiful, especially at the summit. If you don't make it to the top, I'm telling you, you'll really miss out!"
"Okay, I'll have another cup of strong tea later."
After saying that, Qiao Mei glanced at Ao Cang again. Ao Cang understood her meaning and followed her eagerly to find strong tea.
The sun was shining brightly today, and because the rain had stopped, a huge rainbow arched over the sky. The entire sky was a clear, blue expanse, which was a delightful sight.
Bathed in sunlight, the girl was dressed rather conservatively today, wearing a windbreaker that covered most of her neck.
Below are matching casual pants, and the person is almost completely covered up, so you can't tell anything about them.
Only Ao Cang knew how captivating the scenery below was, which was why he couldn't control himself last night. His reason had been overtaken for who knows how many times since meeting Qiao Mei.
His gaze followed her slender back down, and he vaguely smelled a non-existent sweet fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose. His mouth suddenly felt a little dry, and his throat involuntarily bobbed up and down.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was so intense that Qiao Mei noticed him and turned to look at him.
Upon seeing him unconsciously stick out his tongue to lick his own lips, she instantly recalled some events from last night. After gritting her teeth and cursing him under her breath, she quickened her pace and walked forward.
Ao Cang is too simple-minded. He basically reflects his thoughts on his face. She only needs to glance at him to guess why he acted that way.
Upon arriving at the destination, Qiao Mei brewed a large cup of strong tea and waited for Ao Cang to come over, intending to formally discuss matters with him.
Ao Cang arrived late and, seeing that Qiao Mei had already brewed the tea, called out to her somewhat bewilderedly, "An'an..."
Qiao Mei didn't speak, but raised an eyebrow and waited for him to continue.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong about what happened yesterday..."
Even though he knew they were going to climb a mountain today, and even though he knew Qiao Mei should have rested well last night, he still couldn't control himself, which made her so obviously sleepy today that even Shu Qingqing could notice.
“What’s the use of just saying sorry, Cangcang?” Qiao Mei sat up straight, her expression unusually serious. “This isn’t the first time I’ve heard you say that, but when have you ever really changed?”
The more Qiao Mei spoke, the more Ao Cang's eyes drooped and his head hung lower. He was being scolded like a primary school student meeting the headmaster, remaining silent.
His pitiful appearance softened Qiao Mei's heart, who had originally intended to say something harsh to him. She sighed helplessly, "I'm not saying I have to be mean to you, it's just that sometimes you really go too far!"
She clearly remembered that last night, after Ao Cang carried her off the seashell bed, he took the bed into the bathroom to clean it and washed it for a long time.
But Ao Cang had told her that the seashell bed had a built-in cleaning function, but the cleaning speed might be relatively slow.
Last night, however, it reached the point where manual cleaning was necessary...
The more Qiao Mei thought about it, the hotter her face became.
She used to think she was the real tiger and wolf, but now it seems she isn't at all!
Seeing that Qiao Mei was still angry, Ao Cang took two steps forward, tried to appease her by taking her hand and forcing her to intertwine her fingers with his, his grip tight: "I promise you, really, there won't be a next time. If there is, I'll..."
The boy bit his lip and said something harsh: "From now on, I will only sleep in the same bed with An'an one day a week, and no more than that!!"
This is indeed the best punishment for him, as a dragon.
Qiao Mei was barely satisfied and stopped dwelling on the matter, handing him a cup of the strong tea she had brewed.
"Drink up. You must be more tired than me, even though it doesn't show on your face."
It's hard to believe, but she always thought she was stronger than Ao Cang, but the facts proved that, objectively speaking, men are much stronger than women.
She was so exhausted, yet Ao Cang seemed so energetic; it was very strange.
......
Shizan Mountain is located in the northeast of Lanhua Star, where the temperature is very low.
Qiao Mei and her group had only been in the car for about half an hour when it suddenly felt like they had gone from summer to winter; it was unbearably cold.
It was at this time that Ao Cang learned that Shizan Mountain was actually a snow-capped mountain.
Qiao Mei hadn't rested well and was now catching up on sleep by leaning on Ao Cang's shoulder. The windbreaker she was wearing was warm in winter and cool in summer, so she wouldn't be too cold, but her exposed face and hands were not.
Seeing that her face was white from the cold and her hands were red, Ao Cang opened his windbreaker and let her in.
Then she pulled up her windbreaker, placed her face against his warm neck, and wrapped her arms around his waist.
The two are boyfriend and girlfriend, so while this might seem a bit too clingy, it's understandable.
Upon witnessing this scene, Shang Duojin and Shu Qingqing tacitly distanced themselves from them to avoid being tainted by the "dog food" (a term used to describe public displays of affection).
During this process, Shu Qingqing seemed a little dazed, as if she was thinking about something.
Shang Duojin was too carefree to notice, and after creating some distance, he took out a game console from his smart bracelet and started playing, leaving Shu Qingqing propping her right cheek against the window, seemingly lost in thought.
At that moment, her personal computer bracelet vibrated. When she opened it, she saw a message from Zuo Chenxing.
"The unwanted merchandise and albums have been sent over. Please check your mail. I only just found out that you used to be my fan."
The moment Shu Qingqing saw the message, her eyes lit up.
After typing away on the computer keyboard for a long time, deleting and rewriting for quite a while, I finally sent a reply.
"Haha, it's not something I can easily say, but I'm quite content to have had such a close encounter with my former idol. Here's the money for the merchandise, Senior Zuo, you absolutely must accept it!!"
After sending the money, Shu Qingqing initiated a transfer, sending Zuo Chenxing over three thousand interstellar coins. The amount was neither too much nor too little; it was just the normal price in the interstellar market.
Zuo Chenxing didn't want to accept it, but he was afraid that if he didn't accept it, Shu Qingqing would continue to worry about it. After thinking about it, he finally reluctantly clicked "accept".
"Alright then. By the way, I'm here on a trip to Orchid Star. If it's convenient for you, we can meet up."
Upon seeing this, Shu Qingqing sat up straight and asked him where he was traveling.
"You should know that it is the most famous first snow mountain in your area - Shizan Mountain."
