Chapter 122: No More Deception, Just Straight-Up Robbery
After breaking through that layer of window paper, Xia Li felt a lot more relaxed.
It was like he had confessed everything and was just waiting for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit.
Before, he had liked her secretly, using tricks and deception to interact with the evil dragon.
But now it was different.
Now he liked her openly.
He didn’t even need to deceive her anymore.
He could just take what he wanted.
He had already laid his cards on the table and said he liked her, did she expect him to be honest with her? That was impossible.
This was probably Xia Li’s current mentality. Sitting in front of the computer, Xia Li browsed through a few pages of recent business news.
He listened attentively to the sounds coming from the bathroom, and only when he heard the bathroom door open did he stick his head out and call out.
“Lucia.”
“Hmm… Hmm?”
The little evil dragon who had just finished bathing carried with her a mist of water vapor. Her cheeks were flushed pink from the steam, and her misty eyes looked over, full of confusion.
“Let me blow-dry your hair,” Xia Li said. “You can’t dry it yourself, you need to be careful these two days.”
“I can blow-dry it myself…”
Lucia had a little yellow duck towel wrapped around her head and was about to turn and leave when she heard a ‘buzzing’ sound coming from Xia Li’s room.
Turning back, Lucia looked at Xia Li, who was holding a hairdryer and smiling.
“The hairdryer is with me, where are you going?”
“…”
Lucia walked over with a sullen face, wanting to snatch the hairdryer from Xia Li’s hand, but Xia Li raised his hand high, not giving the short dragon a chance.
“Sit here.”
He shamelessly patted his thigh and said.
Lucia glared at him, then climbed onto the bed and sat down. Her expression seemed to be telling Xia Li that she wasn’t going over there, if he wanted her to sit on his lap, he could come over.
Maintaining a distance of two meters was Lucia’s last bit of stubbornness.
She instinctively felt that, from now on, she couldn’t be too accommodating to Xia Li.
The human heart was treacherous.
Otherwise, she would really be led by the nose by Xia Li and become his captive dragon!
“Didn’t you always like to sit on my lap and watch me play games before? Why are you unwilling now?”
Xia Li didn’t mind Lucia’s distance. He took the hairdryer to his bedside and plugged it in.
The hot air blew, and Xia Li, not very skillfully, separated the girl’s long, dark hair and then slowly dried it.
“Xia Li, you’ve changed.”
Mixed with the noisy wind, Xia Li heard the evil dragon’s accusation.
“My methods have changed, but my feelings haven’t,” Xia Li paused and said. “I’m completely devoted to Lucia Sivana.”
Looking down and seeing the evil dragon’s fleshy cheeks turning rosy, Xia Li added.
“And, it’s not just me who’s changed, look at yourself, you’ve changed too… You used to not react much to anything I did to you, but now you want to avoid me at every turn, and you’ve started to go against my wishes.”
Because Xia Li spoke so matter-of-factly, Lucia actually started to seriously reflect on herself.
“That’s because you, you…”
Lucia stammered for a while but couldn’t get the words out, her voice getting quieter and quieter.
From the moment Xia Li suddenly kissed her in the car today, her mood had been in turmoil.
A human kiss expressed a more sacred, more difficult to understand emotion…
Lucia could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg from that short two-hour movie.
She hadn’t learned much, but even so, it made her heart itch, as if something was touching her.
“But this is actually a good thing for me,” Xia Li continued. “You’re reacting now, which proves that you’re starting to feel something about these things. You used to be so indifferent, no matter how I teased you, you had an attitude of a dead duck not afraid of boiling water… Now, it proves that you also have feelings for me.”
“Of course I do, I’ve always liked Xia Li,” Lucia said, raising her head.
Looking at the evil dragon’s translucent pink earlobes, Xia Li couldn’t help but want to take a bite and make them even redder.
Now Lucia was beginning to understand what shyness was. She was gradually understanding human emotions.
“Okay, then tell me what you like about me,” Xia Li said shamelessly. “Let me analyze whether our liking is the same or not.”
Lucia was thinking seriously.
Dragons didn’t beat around the bush like humans did. Lucia spoke her mind.
“You look good when you’re fixing appliances…”
◈◈◈
“That’s called handsome,” Xia Li corrected. “Anything else?”
“You also look handsome when you’re controlling the character in the computer to slay dragons, and when you beat up the bad guys in the subway with two swift moves… Sometimes you look like gold coins, sparkling.”
The more Xia Li listened, the harder it was to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Anything else? Is there anything else?”
“Also, I want to keep you as a treasure, preferably where I can see you as soon as I open my eyes every day.”
It would be best to sleep on a pile of gold coins every day, and hear the crisp clinking sound in her ears when she rolled over.
However, Lucia didn’t say the second half of the sentence.
After all, they would really be sleeping together.
There wouldn’t be any problem with a dragon sleeping with gold coins…
But there would be a problem with a dragon sleeping with a human.
“Keep as a treasure… Hmm, that’s possessiveness, that’s exactly the same as me.”
Xia Li thought carefully for a moment.
Maybe Lucia was right, liking was liking, this feeling wasn’t divided into different levels, and there wasn’t such a complicated classification.
The feelings between humans and dragons could be interlinked. It didn’t matter if her liking for him was the liking for gold coins or the liking for sheep, as long as it wasn’t the liking for all humans.
Realizing that he was the special one, and had always occupied a dominant position in the evil dragon’s heart, Xia Li felt extremely satisfied.
His heart was satisfied, but his body was restless.
“Our races are different. Although you’re human now, your previous lifestyle and thinking habits were those of a dragon. There’s a gap between us, so many times we can’t understand each other immediately…”
Xia Li’s hand holding the hairdryer slowly stopped. Lucia didn’t dare to turn around, she just listened silently.
Xia Li had said a lot to her today, her brain was sluggish and couldn’t react.
But there was one thing she agreed with.
The way humans and dragons expressed their feelings was different, they couldn’t understand each other’s actions.
But it didn’t matter, usually Lucia was the one who compromised.
The Brave Hero was bad, he only knew how to attack, not retreat.
Thinking of this, Lucia seized the opportunity and snatched the hairdryer, buzzing it to dry her hair.
“Do you know how humans express their feelings?”
Xia Li painted a big picture, and finally revealed his true colors.
The honest dragon head didn’t turn back and said, “How? Bite them!”
“That’s a dragon’s way of expressing, I’m talking about a human’s way of expressing.”
“I don’t know.”
Lucia shook the hairdryer, twisting her long hair into braids.
“How did they do it in the movie?”
“In the movie, the dragon took the human away.”
“And then?”
“And then the princess touched her lips to the dragon’s nose… When I turn back into a dragon, I’ll touch your lips too.”
“No, you have to touch my lips now.”
“I, I won’t!”
Lucia finally realized that the Brave Hero had been weaving a trap for her with all those words.
After all that beating around the bush, it turned out he just wanted to do this kind of thing.
The human heart was indeed treacherous!
Treacherous and greedy!
She had already been expressed to twice today by Xia Li in a human way, now it was definitely time for the dragon’s way.
Thinking of this, Lucia put down the hot hairdryer, turned around, and looked at Xia Li with her gem-like eyes, dark and deep.
Xia Li saw… hmm, aggression? in those dragon eyes.
The evil dragon suddenly pounced, this time aiming at ━ his left thigh!
“Ow!”
Pain, accompanied by a burst of shampoo fragrance, swept over Xia Li. He cried out in pain.
A precise strike on the target was successfully launched.
Lucia slipped her snow-white feet into her slippers and quickly ran away.
Tactical retreat!
