Chapter 108: Territory Crisis!
“Boss Xia, what’s wrong with him?”
Hou Zijie, who was selecting songs on the screen, stopped what he was doing and watched as Little Lu carried Boss Xia in.
“He’s drunk.”
Xia Li shook his head. Due to his dizziness, his body couldn’t help but lean against Lucia.
“Bah, he’s faking it!” Chen Tao on the sofa spat.
During their college entrance exam year, the four of them got completely wasted at a bar, and in the end, it was Xia Li who was responsible for taking them home.
Just now, they only had a few drinks while eating crayfish, and he’s already acting drunk. It’s obviously fake.
Only a simple and gullible girl like Little Lu would be fooled by him.
Chen Tao watched as Little Lu gently placed Xia Li in the corner of the sofa and used her forehead to check Xia Li’s temperature. Any girl with a little bit of cunning would know that her boyfriend was pretending to be drunk, and then it would be the part where they willingly do shy things in the corner.
After all, as long as the boyfriend says he’s drunk, any actions he takes that cross the line can be forgiven.
But Little Lu was clearly different from those girls.
She really thought Xia Li was drunk.
Not only did she not show the knowing shyness that a girl should have, but instead, she was seriously taking care of Xia Li.
She brought him tea and water, and even took a piece of watermelon from the fruit platter and stuffed it into Xia Li’s mouth.
After checking his forehead temperature several times, she helped Xia Li lie down flat and even took off his shoes when she put his legs up.
Damn!
The more Chen Tao thought about it, the more envious he became.
He felt the urge to be in a relationship more strongly than ever. Chen Tao took out his phone, flipping through it, and realized that he didn’t even have a single female friend he could flirt with.
“Monkey, order me two love songs, I’m gonna sing my heart out tonight!!” Chen Tao shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Still dizzy?”
Lucia put her small hand on Xia Li’s temple and rubbed it. This was a method she found online to relieve dizziness.
Xia Li lay on the sofa like a corpse, his expression peaceful.
“Dizzy.”
“Then, then what should we do?”
Lucia said seriously, “The internet says that bees and milk cure hangovers…”
“Honey, not bees.”
“Oh right, honey.”
Xia Li opened his eyelids with some difficulty.
Lucia was sitting right next to his head. The lights in the KTV were dim, and the colorful spotlights overhead cast small spots of light on her worried face.
Forcing his twitching lips into a straight line, Xia Li sighed and said.
“Ah, the back of my head feels empty… If only I had something to rest it on.”
“Wait a minute.”
Completely unaware of human tricks, the honest evil dragon began to think carefully about a solution.
She came to Chen Tao. Chen Tao was holding a microphone and was about to start singing. He turned around and saw Little Lu standing next to him, and was startled.
“Do you want the pillow behind you?”
“Oh, oh, no, you can have it…”
Chen Tao pulled out the pillow from under his butt and quickly handed it to Lucia.
Lucia took the pillow and went back.
Xia Li: “…”
I want to lie on your lap, not on a pillow that Chen Tao’s butt has been sitting on!!
“Lift your head…”
The evil dragon tried to lift Xia Li’s shoulders, but she couldn’t move him.
Xia Li played dead, refusing to lift his head.
Then, as if he was really dizzy, he rolled over, stretched out his arm, and pulled Lucia into his embrace.
“Your clothes seem quite soft.” Xia Li hinted.
Lucia immediately took off her blue bear coat. “I’ll give it to you right now!”
“Your legs should be quite soft too.”
“But you said I can’t take off my pants outside…” Lucia felt conflicted.
“…”
Xia Li was speechless.
Lucia was incredibly strong. She lifted Xia Li’s head like a jar and then stuffed the pillow under his head.
“Now you’ll be comfortable!”
The evil dragon clapped her hands twice, mission accomplished.
As expected of me!
Xia Li, lying on the sofa, was exceptionally quiet. This time, he really seemed to have fainted.
In the relatively spacious medium-sized room, F3 was howling into the microphone.
None of them were good singers, but they all loved to sing, which meant they were both bad and enthusiastic.
Xia Li’s ears were itching from the noise. He secretly opened his eyes to look around, but as soon as he did, he saw Lucia squatting beside him, staring straight at him.
“I thought of another way to dispel the dizziness magic.”
“What way…?”
“Fight poison with poison,” Lucia said cleverly, “Two negative magic effects superimposed on each other, the magic ripples will overlap, there’s a chance they will cancel each other out.”
Lucia grabbed two bottles of wine in her hands and pressed the cold bottoms against Xia Li’s face.
“Here!”
“You, you, you…”
Xia Li fainted from anger and closed his eyes, playing dead.
At this moment, the door to the room opened, and a soft ray of light shone in from the corridor.
A tall girl glanced inside from the doorway, and after confirming that everyone was familiar, she said in surprise.
“Wow~ You guys are singing!”
“She’s here, she’s here.”
“You’re finally here!”
Hou Zijie, holding a microphone, chuckled, his voice coming from the speakers.
Zhou Anqi entered the room and placed her bag and coat on the sofa, her black, form-fitting sweater blending into the background.
“The high-speed train was delayed, it’s quite rare for high-speed trains to be delayed these days~”
◈◈◈
Zhou Anqi dropped her bags and was about to grab a piece of watermelon from the fruit platter to quench her thirst when she caught sight of two figures out of the corner of her eye, and was startled.
“Huh? Xia Ge, why are you lying…”
She stopped mid-sentence when she saw the young girl squatting next to Xia Li.
Her gaze paused for a moment, and then her expression became a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
“Are you Xia Ge’s girlfriend? The one you guys mentioned in the group chat?”
Lucia squatted by the sofa, squeezing closer to Xia Li’s head.
If Xia Li was standing, she would definitely hide behind him, but since he was lying down, she could only grab his arm as a shield.
Xia Li opened his eyes and clearly felt Lucia’s body tense up as she clung to his arm.
Was this nervousness?
Or was it… hostility?
This guy usually only showed disinterest or deliberately avoided human males because she thought they were covered in viruses.
But when she met a female… her reaction was even stronger?
Xia Li was puzzled. He stopped pretending to be dizzy and quickly sat up.
“You’re called Little Lu, right? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!”
Zhou Anqi came over with a smile to greet her. She was wearing black-rimmed glasses, her chestnut brown curly hair cascading down her shoulders, and her body carried a faint scent of skincare products.
“…”
Lucia’s body tensed up, and she moved back. As her back straightened, her little butt landed on the sofa.
Facing the outstretched hand of the other female, Lucia knew it was a gesture of friendship.
But she didn’t like this situation.
Lucia didn’t know what kind of attitude this was, but if she were to use dragon terms, it was probably a kind of ‘female competition’.
Two female dragons encounter a male dragon they both find attractive, leading to competition and hostility.
“Hand…”
Xia Li half-embraced Lucia, his legs spread apart, and Lucia huddled between his legs.
Seeing Lucia frozen for a long time, he brought his lips close to her small ear and whispered a reminder.
Lucia turned her head and glanced at Xia Li.
Xia Li froze.
Huh?
Why did it feel like Lucia just gave him a strange look?
It felt like he had suddenly been glared at by a dragon.
This was the first time he had seen the evil dragon look at him so fiercely.
“Hello, my full name is Zhou Anqi. You can call me Anqi or Qiqi… I’m older than you, so you can also call me Sister Qi, haha~~”
Zhou Anqi didn’t feel awkward at all. She took Lucia’s small hand and shook it up and down.
After the introduction, she immediately turned around and started attacking the fruit platter and popcorn.
“I’m starving, I’m starving! The boxed lunch on the high-speed train was terrible! Peach, can we order takeout at this KTV?”
“I think so, if not, I’ll sneak some in with my clothes later!!”
Zhou Anqi had a typical cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside personality. Before getting to know her, she was a cold and aloof academic, but once you got to know her, she was just as boisterous as Chen Tao.
“What are you doing…”
“Why are you acting so silly?”
The evil dragon in Xia Li’s arms had been frozen for a long time. He reached out and pinched her face.
Lucia sniffed her palm.
Hmm, it had the scent of the human female from earlier, and it was quite strong.
As she wiped her palm on her sweater, Lucia turned back and took a sniff of Xia Li.
Xia Li didn’t have that scent, which made her feel much more at ease.
“What are you doing?” Xia Li chuckled.
This evil dragon was way too vigilant, wasn’t she?
Was she patrolling her territory?
“This is a friend. My relationship with her is the same as my relationship with Peach and the others, there’s no difference.” Xia Li explained.
To help Lucia understand this relationship better, he added, “It’s like the female fire dragon you knew when you were young. If you hadn’t separated and had kept in touch occasionally, our relationship would be like mine and Zhou Anqi’s.”
“But we’re the same sex.”
Lucia’s small face was illuminated by the changing lights, flickering between light and shadow.
“Friendship has nothing to do with gender, so don’t worry about it.”
“But we also sleep together…”
“Stop,” Xia Li covered her small mouth.
“We live very close to each other, and aside from not sleeping together, we’ve done everything else, like rolling in mud pits, fighting over food, and blowing up fish…”
“Oh…” Lucia seemed to understand a little.
Friendship was genderless, it was just about being playmates. It was very different from her relationship with Xia Li.
Therefore, there was no such thing as female competition.
“I told you, you’re my only girlfriend.” Xia Li whispered in her ear.
His breath was hot and carried a faint scent of malt.
Lucia’s ears felt ticklish, and she couldn’t help but scratch them. Her earlobes immediately turned red.
“Go say hello and get to know her… Making friends is your task for today.”
As he spoke, Xia Li patted her waist gently, urging her.
Lucia gulped nervously.
Finally, she steeled herself and bravely took the first step.
She extended her white and tender hand, waving it in front of Zhou Anqi.
Zhou Anqi, with a mouthful of watermelon, almost choked.
The girl stood in front of her, a little shy, her hand stretched out but retreating in fear.
She was wearing a fluffy blue bear coat, which was a size too big for her, making her look petite and delicate.
Girls all loved cute things, and Zhou Anqi was no exception.
A girl like Lucia was a critical hit in her eyes.
“Hello… Sister Anqi.”
Lucia blushed, her voice shy and awkward.
“Pfft—”
Zhou Anqi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
So, so cute!
No wonder she managed to make Old Xia, this iron tree, bloom!
