Chapter 82 Can I touch the dragon horns?
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingying initially intended to refuse, but after glancing at Xu Heyu, who was sitting on the left side of the empty seat, she quickly changed her mind and sat down.
However, after she sat down, she deliberately shifted her buttocks towards Xu Heyu's direction, as if she wanted to leave half an empty space between Qiao Mei and herself.
Qiao Mei watched this scene, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her blood-red eyes, before she spoke up to get down to business.
"Shang Duojin borrowed 90,000 interstellar coins from me before. He told me to just ask him for it. You've borrowed almost 90,000 interstellar coins from him before, so you can just pay me back. This is my computer ID. Scan it. I think there's no time like the present, so let's pay it back now."
"What? What do you mean? When did I borrow money from him?" Qiao Yingying looked at the personal computer ID that Qiao Mei showed her, completely bewildered.
"Boss Shang, pull up the chat history. It seems we need to help her remember."
Xu Heyu chimed in at the opportune moment:
“I’ve also read the chat history. He didn’t explicitly say it was a gift to you when he transferred the money, and you also mentioned in your previous comments that you were borrowing from him. In this situation, you should indeed return it to him. Otherwise, if he hires a lawyer from Interstellar Law Firm, this matter will definitely affect your reputation.”
Qiao Yingying's left and right ears were filled with the voices urging her to repay the money. Seeing that Qiao Mei had already pulled up the records of her using ambiguous language to lure the wealthy businessman into paying her, she blushed with embarrassment and directly interrupted Qiao Mei's attempt to look through the chat history, biting her lower lip and saying unwillingly:
"I don't need anyone to help me remember anymore!!"
Qiao Mei raised an eyebrow, watched as Qiao Yingying added her personal computer ID and transferred all the interstellar coins she had swindled from Shang Duojin. Without saying another word to them, she hurriedly got up from her seat and left.
He looked disheveled and embarrassed.
Looking at Qiao Yingying like this, Shang Duojin felt a little sorry for her: "Qiao Mei, aren't we going a bit too far by doing this?"
Qiao Mei glanced at him and said speechlessly, "When she cheated you out of so much money, she didn't seem to think she had gone too far."
"Exactly, exactly! Wake up, Mr. Shang! It's people like you who are naive and rich that are easily fooled!"
With the repayment issue resolved, the opening ceremony officially began.
Xu Heyu, as the representative of the second-year students, straightened his clothes and went up to the podium. He spoke his words with ease and in a gentle voice, without any notes.
The light shone at an angle on him, illuminating his deep blue eyes and giving his black hair and perfect jawline a light golden edge.
His features were already striking, and now, as he spoke with gentle eyes and a calm demeanor, his composed aura emanated from him, adding to his already impeccable appearance.
Many first-year female students watched as Xu Heyu smiled faintly as she spoke, her blue eyes sparkling with subtle laughter, and they were captivated, letting out screams one after another.
Some of Xu Heyu's supporters even called out his name at this time.
Qiao Mei, Shu Qingqing, and the others were amazed by what they saw.
"Tsk, no wonder he's a prominent figure at the Federal Academy. Qiao Qiao, why can't you understand why you canceled the engagement with him?"
With the help of Old Master Xu, it was common knowledge that Qiao Mei and Xu Heyu had canceled their childhood betrothal. After hearing Shu Qingqing's question, she withdrew her gaze from the handsome young man on the stage who was practically glowing, and instead looked down at a small black dragon that seemed somewhat inferior, burying its dragon head in her neck. She smiled and said:
"He is a very good person, but I don't have those kinds of feelings for him. Besides, rather than trying to have anything with him, I'd rather spend more time with my Cangcang. After all, it saved my life."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, a thin layer of pink appeared on the scales of the small black dragon wrapped around her neck. It was easy to tell whether she had listened to what she said or not.
By the time the long and boring opening ceremony ended, it was already dark outside. During the ceremony, there were speeches from representatives of the second, third, and fourth year students, as well as song and dance performances to add to the festivities.
Adding to the drowsiness was the long, rambling speech by the dean of the Federal Academy, which sounded like a mantra. The students present were all drowsy.
Even when free boxed lunches were distributed in the lecture hall at noon, not many people sat down to eat.
After finally getting through the tough times, Qiao Mei thought she could finally be assigned to a class, but then she was told by the Federal Academy's group chat that there was a small problem with the class assignment system, and it would not be fixed until 9:40 a.m. the next day. She was told to go back to the dormitory to rest first.
"No way, I've never heard of the Federal Academy having this kind of problem before. How come we're so unlucky?" Shu Qingqing opened a new lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and looked at the streetlights that were gradually turning on outside, her brows furrowed.
After reading the notification sent in the academy group, Qiao Mei recalled a similar incident she had encountered at the interstellar mecha competition and vaguely guessed the truth.
However, she wasn't worried about anything, because in the arena, she not only concealed her gender and appearance, but also her familiar's superpowers.
To the outside world, she is just a user of the Thunder Familiar's superpower. If she doesn't say so, even if the Federation investigates thoroughly, they won't be able to trace it back to her.
......
The next morning, Qiao Mei got up early and received a message from the customer service of the interstellar mech website that her account had been successfully unbanned, along with a compensation of nearly 10,000 interstellar coins. She clicked her tongue in amazement, thinking that having power made things much easier.
"Qiaoqiao, what are you muttering about? It's only 5:30, why are you up already?"
Shu Qingqing was still half asleep when she glanced at Qiao Mei, who had already washed up and gotten out of bed, her eyes only half open.
"You keep sleeping. I have something urgent to take care of. Don't worry about me."
After speaking in a low voice, Qiao Mei picked up the little black dragon wearing her custom-made pajamas and went to the balcony outside the dormitory.
It's sunny there, and there are tables and chairs.
Across from us lies a lake hidden in a dense forest, its surface shimmering in the morning light.
There was no surveillance footage.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei withdrew her gaze and took out the 50,000 interstellar coins she had won from the interstellar mecha competition, as well as the 10,000 interstellar coins compensation that customer service had just given her, and made offerings to Ao Cang.
This time, the amount of money offered was very large, and the duration was also longer than usual.
When Qiao Mei opened her eyes again, she found that the pile of interstellar coins in front of her had disappeared, and the little black dragon in front of her had gained two more scales, and the pair of dragon horns that were not very noticeable before were also more obvious.
The two small bags transformed into two pointed, ice-blue horns.
The small corners don't look very sharp, and they reflect a beautiful sheen in the sunlight.
Qiao Mei swallowed hard, then tentatively looked at Ao Cang and asked, "Cang Cang, can I touch the dragon horns?"
Qiao Mei: Touching each part, achievement complete...
Ao Cang: Don't you consider my feelings?
