Qiao Mei said she was angry, but after turning off the lights and going to bed, she couldn't help but glance at Ao Cang's side.
Seeing him huddled pitifully inside the gemstone den, not even covered with the small blanket she had prepared for him, she almost couldn't help but sit up and go cover him with the blanket.
But she quickly suppressed this idea.
She looked away, forcing herself not to think about him anymore.
If he doesn't compromise this time, he will do similar life-threatening things again every time.
She absolutely has to hold on!
That's what I was thinking, but it got late at night.
She felt the temperature in the room had dropped, and that Ao Cang should be asleep, but she still couldn't resist lifting the covers and carefully getting out of bed.
The Thunder Dragon in the Gem Nest was curled up, its tattered wings barely covering its belly.
Qiao Mei touched it; it was icy cold.
So I picked up a small blanket to cover him with it.
One corner of the blanket was pressed down by his dragon buttocks, and Qiao Mei had to use some force to get it out.
She might have used a little too much force, because Ao Cang woke up just as she pulled the blanket out.
The bright, golden dragon eyes stared at her with a deathly intensity, making Qiao Mei want to disappear into a hole in the ground.
"Uh, I... I had a bit of a cold head, so I came to get a blanket. Did I wake you up?"
Ao Cang didn't speak. Looking at her bright red earlobes, which were clearly visible even in the night, his heartache inexplicably dissipated.
Not wanting the awkward situation to continue, Qiao Mei quickly returned to bed after clutching a corner of the small blanket in her hand. To avoid making her lie seem too clumsy, she actually covered her head with the blanket and even covered her face.
It's so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.
If she had known Ao Cang was such a light sleeper, she wouldn't have gone down!
Ao Cang, unaware of her thoughts, stared at the girl, whose body was as straight as a wooden board, for a while before getting up and climbing down from the gemstone nest.
Then, it slowly flew to her bedside, and the moment its two dragon feet stepped onto the blanket, it transformed into human form.
The weight of a human figure is hard to ignore. Qiao Mei felt as if a heavy object had been placed on the bed and was about to remove the blanket covering her face.
The next moment, it was taken away by a large hand, followed by Ao Cang's handsome, cold, pale face.
He pulled back the covers and slipped into her warm bed, hugged her slender waist, rested his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "Sleep. Even if you're angry with me, I don't want you to have a bad night's sleep."
Qiao Mei blushed, her ears turning red with embarrassment: "What are you being so narcissistic about? Who told you I can't sleep well without you? I..."
"Yes, An'an is right."
Ao Cang's attitude was far too soft. Qiao Mei was like a ball about to inflate, which was then pricked with a needle, leaving her limp and helpless as Ao Cang held her.
He wasn't wrong; with him by her side, she did indeed fall asleep quickly, her breathing becoming very even and deep.
Ao Cang opened his eyes and looked at her adorable sleeping face, his eyes filled with an overwhelming affection.
"How can someone be so lovable..."
He couldn't resist and kissed her earlobe, then her neck, and then her lips.
In the end, he almost lost control of himself.
But fearing that Qiao Mei would be angry, he had no choice but to stop.
The next morning, Qiao Mei woke up feeling a little unwell.
Just as I was about to take a closer look at what was going on, the smart bracelet vibrated.
Unsurprisingly, the message came from Qiao Yingying.
[It's you, right?]
Qiao Mei raised an eyebrow and gave her a question mark.
When she broke Qiao Yingying's adopted brother's leg yesterday, she deliberately switched to her familiar's superpower, using a water-type familiar's superpower. Even if Qiao Yingying suspected her, she had no evidence.
Sure enough, after seeing her reply, Qiao Yingying's anger subsided considerably. She began to wonder who else, besides Qiao Mei, could hate her so much, especially since it involved a water-type familiar with superpowers.
Qiao Mei received no further messages from Qiao Yingying, and knew that she had probably managed to get away with it for the time being.
Because once Lai Tan gets involved, the truth will inevitably come out.
But that's all for later. Right now, she needs to think about how to get along with Ao Cang.
She turned her head and glanced at him, only to find that he was long gone. She reached out and touched the spot where he had been lying; it was ice-cold, indicating that he had probably gotten up very early.
So I went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare the school uniform I would wear to class at the Federal Academy today.
When she came downstairs, she found Ao Cang wearing an apron and holding a soup spoon, ladling out porridge.
On the table were her favorite soup dumplings, preserved egg and lean pork congee, and several fried steamed dumplings.
"An'an, come down here. Come and eat, I just finished cooking."
Qiao Mei forgot that Ao Cang usually made her breakfast.
It's still early before she has to go to the academy, so she can't go on an empty stomach.
But thinking about her ongoing cold war with Ao Cang, she could only swallow hard, put on a cold face, and say ruthlessly, "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ao Cang's smile faded slightly. He carefully placed the soup spoon down, wiped his hands, and blocked Qiao Mei's path. "You can be angry with me, but you can't wrong yourself. An'an, if you don't want to see me, I can go to the academy first. Take your time eating, there's no rush."
As he spoke, he began to untie his apron, looking as if he really intended to do so.
Qiao Mei didn't mean to send him away. Seeing that his lips were pale and dry, even cracked, she felt a pang of conscience and called him back.
"Cangcang, I didn't say I was going to kick you out. It's just breakfast, right? Fine, let's eat. But let me tell you, my decision will absolutely not be shaken by this breakfast!"
Ao Cang subtly curved the corners of his lips, as if he had already guessed that Qiao Mei would compromise and back down.
They ate breakfast in complete silence. After arriving at the Federal Academy and entering their classroom, the two, who were usually inseparable, were now walking at opposite ends of the path, making it obvious to anyone that they had been arguing.
Seeing this, Shu Qingqing waited until Qiao Mei sat down and then leaned closer to ask her, "Qiao Qiao, what's going on between you two? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Ao Cang's personality doesn't seem like the type to do something wrong and make people angry.
Shang Duojin, having caught Shu Qingqing's gossip tendencies, also went to ask Ao Cang about it.
However, Ao Cang declined to reveal the details, saying that there was only a small misunderstanding between him and Qiao Mei.
"? This is a small misunderstanding? You two are like positive and negative magnets, sticking to each other wherever you go. You were so far apart just now, how can it be a small misunderstanding?" Shang Duojin rolled his eyes at Ao Cang with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" After realizing that he couldn't get through to Ao Cang, he pricked up his ears to listen to Qiao Mei's side.
Unfortunately, the school bell rang the next moment, and Gongjing walked in carrying a stack of test papers, saying that there would be a quiz in this class.
