Chapter 66 Why do they like my image so much? (Third update)
In the video, a star-shaped object that looks completely unrelated to humans is using a twig to pry open a clump of unidentified material (blurred out) and stuff it into a large leaf.
The video thoughtfully paused the frame and circled the unidentified object, then displayed a speech bubble asking viewers to guess what the blurred-out thing was.
Three voting options also appeared on the side.
At this moment, the video continued to advance amidst cheerful music, and the eight-year-old boy that Qiao Mei had sculpted, who looked just like Ao Cang, came into view.
However, "his" expression was somewhat indescribable.
It's a bit like constipation, and a bit like swallowing a fly.
His utterly dejected expression was circled, and a caption appeared on the right side of his face: "Friendly reminder: try guessing based on the rose's expression for a higher accuracy rate!"
Next, the mosaic was removed, and Rose was so startled by the star's raised defense that she took three steps back, making a funny reaction as if she didn't recognize him.
After that, Qiao Mei couldn't bear to watch anymore. Just as she was about to fork it away, she heard Ao Cang's voice coming from her neck.
A dragon claw pointed at the little boy who was almost his twin brother, and raised its golden eyes to ask her, "An'an, did you do this on purpose? Why? Do you like my image?"
Qiao Mei froze completely when Ao Cang spoke.
She completely forgot that there was a little black dragon wrapped around her neck; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have opened the video clip in front of him.
The interstellar mech competition venue is not visible to the outside world, which is why she dared to secretly use Ao Cang's image without fear of being caught.
But now...
"An'an? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ao Cang's urgent voice rang in her ears, making Qiao Mei break out in a cold sweat, unsure how to respond.
She liked his appearance, of course. She didn't even mind his disheveled dragon form at the beginning, let alone his cute boy form in human form, which could almost melt her heart.
But how could she dare to say such a thing?
If Ao Cang found out that she had those kinds of feelings for him, wouldn't he find her disgusting?
Looking at the girl who had remained silent and whose expression had become increasingly tense, Ao Cang suddenly felt a bit depressed and uncomfortable.
He thought that their relationship wasn't so bad that they couldn't even say such things.
Qiao Mei lowered her eyes, just about to laugh it off, when she noticed that the little black dragon's expression darkened, and he continued in a muffled voice, "If you feel that our relationship isn't close enough, you don't have to say anything."
At most, he might feel a little inexplicably uncomfortable.
They were already in a relationship where they shared life and slept in the same bed, but now...
Having known each other for so long, this was the first time Qiao Mei had ever seen Ao Cang look so dejected. She was stunned for a while before trying to salvage the situation: "That's not what I meant. I really like your image, and that's why I did this. Don't overthink it, really!!"
Anxiety filled the girl's bloodshot eyes. She reached out her hands to cup Ao Cang's dragon head, gazing intently into his golden dragon eyes.
"Really? Then why do you like my image so much?" Ao Cang's mood did improve because of Qiao Mei's explanation, but he didn't know why he would ask such a follow-up question.
As soon as the words were spoken, both the man and the dragon were stunned.
Qiao Mei broke out in a cold sweat again at Ao Cang's question. She opened her mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single sound.
To say she was only doing it out of respect for him? No way, that's utter nonsense.
Could it be that she simply thought his boyish appearance was handsome and cute? That wouldn't work either, considering there are so many other handsome and cute people out there. Why would she choose him over everyone else?
"I...I..."
Qiao Mei dared not meet Ao Cang's golden dragon eyes, nor did she dare to voice her despicable thoughts about him, and the atmosphere remained tense.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to fall into silence again, and fearing that Ao Cang would overthink things as before, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I actually am..."
"Miss, the master has finished receiving oxygen. You may go in now."
At that critical moment, the old butler's voice entered Qiao Mei's ears like heavenly music.
She quickly stopped talking, and with a guilty look on her face, told Ao Cang that she would talk about it when they got back. Then she followed the old butler into Old Master Xu's bedroom.
There was still a lingering smell of herbs in the bedroom. Grandpa Xu had already changed his clothes and was sitting in his wheelchair.
Overall, he looked much better than when Qiao Mei had seen him before.
Grandpa, how are you feeling?
Qiao Mei brought the gift box she was carrying to Xu Wenfeng and said that Xu Hui had asked her to bring it. After watching the housekeeper take the gift box away, she heard Xu Wenfeng say that he had recovered well these past few days and that she didn't need to worry too much.
"But how are you feeling?"
Xu Wenfeng watched the entire performance of Qiao Mei in the interstellar mech competition, so Qiao Mei wasn't surprised that he asked her that question and said that she had recovered.
"But I heard from my mother that you called me here today mainly to teach me some knowledge about mecha?"
According to the rules of interstellar travel, this kind of thing is usually started after entering the academy. Why is Grandpa Xu in such a hurry?
Xu Wenfeng nodded and gave the old butler a look. As the old butler went over to push his wheelchair, he replied to Qiao Mei, "Yes, I'll tell you about the more detailed stuff later."
