Chapter 144: Dragon’s Nature
Adopting Little Cotton added a touch of warmth to the home.
It felt more and more like a ‘home’.
Of course, the biggest benefit was that it allowed Xia Li to justifiably squeeze into the same bed with Lucia.
Bad news: the bed next door was really bought for nothing.
Good news: the evil dragon is so soft to hold.
Lucia didn’t know how she was so easily fooled by Xia Li.
Now Xia Li would just get into her bed after showering, his movements very skillful.
He used to ask a couple of questions pretentiously, but now he doesn’t even bother.
“You used to get into my bed, and I didn’t say anything. Now I’m getting into your bed, why are you unhappy?” “The small dark room is not well-ventilated, it’s stuffy, and sleeping there for a long time is not good for your health.”
“Besides, you wouldn’t want me to sleep with other females, would you?”
Seeing that the evil dragon looked dull and stupid, as if she was very dissatisfied with him getting into her bed, Xia Li explained.
Lucia shook her head blankly.
She got into Xia Li’s bed only because it was raining and windy outside. Xia Li said that the wind would blow the dragon out and flatten her, so whenever it rained at night, she would run to Xia Li’s room holding the big sheep plush.
Or when she couldn’t sleep, she would want to listen to the Brave Hero’s stories, so she would stay in the Brave Hero’s bed.
Later…
Later, she always felt nervous sleeping with the Brave Hero, so she gradually stopped going.
But just because she didn’t go, didn’t mean she was willing to let other females in.
She didn’t feel this way before.
Now, just thinking about a female mosquito flying into Xia Li’s room and sucking his blood would make Lucia unhappy.
Xia Li said this feeling is called ‘possessiveness’.
But possessiveness has to have a limit. Unhealthy possessiveness is yandere.
She only had a tiny bit of this desire, it shouldn’t be considered an illness, right?
“Alright then.”
After Xia Li’s persuasion, the evil dragon nodded, reluctantly agreeing to share the bed tonight.
Xia Li propped himself up and stretched out his arm.
With a “click,” the light went off.
The room was plunged into darkness again.
Soon, as their eyes adjusted to the darkness, the streetlights outside shone through the window, and the outlines of the furniture in the room became visible.
There was no moonlight tonight, thick cumulus clouds had been piled up in the sky since evening.
It might get colder tomorrow.
Xia Li shifted his body, wanting to cuddle up to Lucia.
Both of them were restless sleepers, tossing and turning countless times throughout the night.
So to avoid catching a cold, even though they were sleeping in the same bed, Xia Li chose to have separate blankets with Lucia.
They wouldn’t have to worry about this in the summer.
“Do you know…”
Xia Li cleared his throat, starting to get frisky.
“Do you know what things can only be done with the lights off?”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lucia’s small face.
Lucia only revealed half of her head from the blanket, her mouth muffled underneath, her eyes blinking curiously.
Then, she suddenly thought of the answer to this question.
“Things that can only be done with the lights off…”
“Turn on the light!”
“…?”
“You, you, you,”
“You’re so smart,” Xia Li praised from the bottom of his heart.
As expected of his little dragon.
“Alright.”
Xia Li drew out the sound of the word “alright.”
Before, Xia Li suspected that this evil dragon understood everything but was deliberately playing dumb, pretending not to understand.
But for this question, Lucia probably really didn’t know.
“It’s very dark outside now,” Xia Li said again.
“Mm-hmm,” Lucia nodded in agreement.
“So, if you sneak a kiss on me, I definitely won’t see it.”
“Why would I sneak a kiss on you?”
“Because…” Xia Li paused, “Because it’s exciting.”
“But it’s too dark, I can’t find your face.”
“It’s okay, come here, I’ll guide you.”
“No.”
Lucia wasn’t falling for it, she turned over and went to sleep.
Xia Li still felt his heart itch.
Every time he slept in the same bed with Lucia, his heart itched unbearably.
Sleeping with the person he liked, in the dark, every cell in his body was restless.
It would be strange not to feel itchy in this situation.
“Then I’ll sneak a kiss on you!”
Xia Li was not giving up.
Lucia: “Zzzzz……”
“Heh!”
Xia Li lonely covered himself up tightly.
Now Lucia was still in the shy and reserved little girl stage.
Once she tasted the sweetness, she would definitely want more!
Xia Li firmly believed that the seniors from Azure Continent wouldn’t lie to him.
A dragon’s nature is inherently （fill in the blank）!
◈◈◈
💖”Today, I need to take Mianhua to get her vaccinations…”💖
“Heave-ho, heave-ho—”
“But Zhou Anqi is going back to school tomorrow, and she asked me to hang out with her today.”
“Heave-ho, heave-ho—”
Early in the morning.
Xia Li was doing push-ups on the floor.
Lucia stood to the side, her little face full of struggle.
◈◈◈
“What are you doing?” Lucia found it strange.
The Brave Hero was perfectly fine, and suddenly he started training himself.
The human men in this city didn’t need to go to war, what was he doing?
💖”Exercising.”💖
Xia Li was only wearing a thin autumn shirt, and he did two hundred push-ups in one go.
Unlike those modern young people who do two push-ups and their arms shake like butterfly wings.
As a Brave Hero, Xia Li’s physical fitness could definitely beat 99.9% of the young people in the country.
But.
Even so, when facing his girlfriend who was a Pureblood Silver Dragon, Xia Li didn’t have much confidence.
He always felt that his body was definitely not enough.
He needed to take precautions beforehand.
So he had to train.
He had ordered a yoga mat last night, and Xia Li planned to start today, doing two hours of planks every day, focusing on training his core strength.
💖He couldn’t let the evil dragon look down on humans.💖
“Why are you suddenly exercising?”
“Because I’m considering that I will definitely have to slay dragons in the future.”
“Ah?”
Lucia crouched down and placed her palm on Xia Li’s back.
There was a firm groove along Xia Li’s spine, his muscles were tense and felt hard to the touch.
However, as soon as Lucia touched him a couple of times, he went soft.
Suddenly, all the strength left his body, and he lay flat on the ground like a salted fish.
“It tickles.”
Xia Li gritted his teeth and said.
💖”Hee hee hee…” Lucia laughed mischievously.💖
“Why do you have to slay dragons?” Lucia asked again.
Xia Li shook his head, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you, little dragon.”
He slung the towel over his shoulder and wiped the sweat off his face, Xia Li took a breath and asked Lucia.
“You just said you have an appointment today?”
“Mm!”
“When did this happen? You didn’t tell me beforehand.”
“…Anqi just messaged me this morning.”
Lucia took out the phone from her pajamas pocket, unlocked it, and showed it to Xia Li.
This was the first time Lucia had proactively shown her phone to Xia Li since she met her best friend.
💖This guy usually kept it hidden, even secretly deleted Xia Li’s fingerprints, very secretive.💖
Xia Li glanced at Zhou Anqi’s message.
The message said that Zhou Anqi was going back to school tomorrow, and the next time she came back would probably be during the New Year, so she wanted to hang out with Lucia on this last day.
Lucia’s reply was ‘Okay, okay!’, followed by a cat emoji.
So cute.
As Xia Li reached out to scroll up further, a dragon claw landed on his hand.
“Don’t look!”
“Sigh.”
Xia Li sighed and returned the phone.
“So guarded against your boyfriend?”
💖”A girl’s secrets, boys are not allowed to see.”💖
“Fine, fine, fine.”
Xia Li didn’t mind this kind of thing, he didn’t have that strong of a controlling desire.
Looking at Lucia’s eager eyes, he thought this was the first time Lucia had been invited out by a friend since coming to Earth.
She must be looking forward to it.
Taking out his phone from his pants pocket, Xia Li opened his chat with Lucia.
“I’ll transfer you two hundred, is two hundred enough?”
“…Anqi said she’s treating me to milk tea.”
Seeing that Xia Li had agreed, Lucia’s expression relaxed a lot.
“She’s treating you to milk tea, you can treat her to egg cakes, two sisters going out shopping, there’s no way they won’t buy anything.”
💖Saying that, Xia Li deleted the 200 he had typed and changed it to 500.💖
Adding money!
Spoiling his own girlfriend!
“Does my little notebook have that much money…”
Lucia looked at the 500 that appeared out of thin air in her e-wallet, slightly stunned.
Taking Mianhua to the vet and buying food the other day had cost a lot of money, Xia Li hadn’t deducted it from her balance, and today he gave her so much…
This made Lucia feel apprehensive.
She felt that she wasn’t worth that much money.
“Why are you being so meticulous with me?”
Xia Li grabbed her dragon claw and squeezed it.
“What’s mine is yours,” he said, patting Lucia’s palm, “and what’s yours is also mine.”
💖”Oh…” Lucia nodded, confused.💖
“Go have fun,” Xia Li said.
“Although you haven’t really gone on a date with me yet, Zhou Anqi really doesn’t come back often… I won’t be jealous this time, you go, I’ll be responsible for taking Mianhua to get her shots.”
“Meow~”
Mianhua, whose name was called, meowed and rubbed against them.
Lucia casually picked up Little Cotton and held her in her arms, and said.
“Then I won’t be jealous today either.”
Usually, she wouldn’t allow Xia Li to be alone at home with other females.
But today was an exception.
The two reached a “no jealousy” agreement.
