Chapter 155: Little Chef? Dragon Maid!
The next morning.
The blue sky was clear and washed clean, the warm yellow morning sun broke through the soft clouds and poured down.
Xia Li stretched out his arm and reached out.
He didn’t find Lucia, who should have been sleeping beside him.
Instead, there was the sizzling sound of oil coming from the half-open door.
What breakfast was the hardworking little evil dragon making again?
Lifting the quilt, Xia Li got out of bed and glanced at the kitchen.
Lucia was wearing an apron, her three thousand strands of black hair neatly tied behind her head in a high ponytail.
She held a spatula in one hand and a pan in the other. It was hard to imagine that those slender wrists could easily flip the pan; the fried egg lying in the center of the pan skillfully turned over in her hands.
After flipping the fried egg, she took chopsticks to stir the noodles cooking in another pot.
The chopsticks stirred twice in the noodles. Seeing the boiling white foam about to overflow the edge of the pot, she took two breaths and blew out, cooling the pot down.
The white foam quickly subsided. She tucked two strands of hair that had fallen by her ears behind them, revealing her fair neck completely.
Lucia’s waist was only slightly higher than the stove, giving her an indescribably delicate and pretty look.
She was still wearing the dragon horns from last night, and the silver dragon tail behind her dragged long on the ground.
What excited Xia Li even more than ‘the little chef is cooking for me’ was…’the little dragon girl is cooking for me’.
What’s the difference between this and a dragon maid?
Early in the morning, Xia Li couldn’t suppress his desires.
Now, seeing the dragon maid cooking for him, he couldn’t help but walk over and hug her.
“Morning…”
Sensing someone approaching, Lucia subconsciously looked up, about to say good morning to Xia Li, when those dense kisses fell.
This time, the kisses weren’t on her cheeks or lips.
Lucia felt something wet roll across her neck.
“Itchy…”
She couldn’t help but shrink her neck down. After kissing her neck, Xia Li didn’t let go, taking another half step closer.
Lucia could only step back, her waist already leaning against the stove.
Behind her was white steam, the noodles tumbling in the boiling water.
Xia Li glanced at the fully cooked fried eggs, turned off the dangerous pan, and then set his eyes on Lucia’s pretty face.
Surrounded by the hazy steam, Lucia’s golden-brown eyes blinked, seemingly puzzled by Xia Li’s sudden advance.
She was still cooking…
The hero was messing around.
However, it was this innocent look mixed with confusion that ignited the dry tinder in Xia Li’s heart.
He squeezed the hand that was resting on his chest, trying to keep a distance between them.
Her fingertips, as soft as young buds, curled up in Xia Li’s hand. Lucia’s long eyelashes blinked, casting a small shadow on her fair cheeks.
The winter morning light climbed into the window, and Lucia felt her heart pounding.
She closed her eyes as if possessed.
In Xia Li’s eyes, this action was more of an ‘invitation’ than a ‘permission’.
“…”
Fine and fragmented kisses fell like a gentle drizzle.
Then the rain intensified, and breathing became rapid.
The rain came on fiercely, the rainwater mixed with each other’s breath entangled, producing some nerve-stirring sounds.
Lucia leaned back a little more.
Xia Li was worried that she would be scalded by the steam behind her, so he reached out his other hand and cupped the back of her head.
He secretly narrowed his eyes, seeing Lucia with her eyes tightly closed, struggling to lift her head amidst the bewilderment and fear.
This silly dragon…
But she never refused him.
If Lucia wanted to struggle, with her strength, it would be no problem to break free from Xia Li’s hands.
Even if she wanted to.
It was very possible for her to overpower Xia Li.
Xia Li always wanted to teach Lucia about human emotions in this world, let her understand them, and then express them in a human way.
But…
These things seemed unimportant at this moment.
The girl’s blush spoke volumes.
“Brother…bro…”
Lucia felt a sense of suffocation, the soft moan leaking from her nostrils was like a fire burning in Xia Li’s heart.
To be honest, both of them were quite clumsy when kissing.
One didn’t know how to start, barging in like a headless fly.
The other was a single-core processor, directly choosing to give up because she couldn’t process the current situation.
She let Xia Li do whatever he wanted to her like a wooden stake.
Without any resistance.
Xia Li’s hand had somehow climbed over the hill.
He didn’t even realize how his hand got there, as if he had been charmed and controlled by a dragon.
Realizing this, in order to salvage his image as a righteous gentleman in Lucia’s heart, Xia Li took his hand away.
His arm brushed against the pot, scalding him and making him yelp.
“What…what did you just call me…”
Xia Li wiped his face, a trace of sweetness still lingering on the corner of his mouth.
Seventy-eight years older than me, and you dare call me brother!
The point is, does Lucia still not understand human relationships?
It’s clear that what she should be calling me at this time is not brother, but another term of endearment.
If that were the case, Xia Li would probably lose control and go all in on the spot…
“I said the pot…”
Lucia also wiped her face.
The suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe just now recovered, and her dizzy head cleared up a lot.
But she didn’t dare to look up at Xia Li, and hurriedly blushed, picking up the chopsticks and stirring them in the pot, finding that the noodles were overcooked.
“Pot pot pot, the pot is going to burn…”
Turning off the fire, the evil dragon said without raising her head.
In the Sichuan dialect, it’s indeed hard to distinguish between “guo” （pot） and “ge” （brother）.
“I want mine spicy!”
Dropping a harsh word, Xia Li went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out of the shower, breakfast was already on the table.
Four fried eggs, two bowls of noodles, and a bowl of blanched cabbage.
The fried eggs were golden brown on both sides, drizzled with soy sauce, and cooked just right.
Although the noodles looked like paste because they were overcooked, they had all the color, aroma, and flavor, sprinkled with chopped green onions, chili oil, and a large spoonful of minced meat borrowed from the neighbor.
Little Chef Lucia’s cooking skills were improving at an extremely fast pace.
The richness of this breakfast could surpass the small noodle restaurant downstairs.
At least, it was unbeatable in Xia Li’s eyes.
“Longevity noodles, eat them for longevity.”
Lucia sat at the dining table, waiting for Xia Li to start eating together.
Xia Li then remembered that it was his birthday today.
With all that just happened, let alone making Lucia crash, even Xia Li himself was almost lost.
Did he go a bit too far?
Xia Li lowered his head to eat noodles, then looked up at the evil dragon.
The evil dragon happened to be peeking at him too. The moment their eyes met, they bounced away like an electric shock.
Both sides were unexpectedly innocent.
It was fine for the evil dragon to be innocent, after all, she didn’t understand these things.
But Xia Li didn’t understand what he was panicking about.
By the end of the meal, Xia Li could no longer distinguish the taste of the longevity noodles.
He felt his mind was full of the scent of hormones.
Earlier, it was indeed because he saw the little dragon girl cooking after waking up that he couldn’t help but feel impulsive.
But thinking about it carefully…
Something wasn’t right.
They were already a couple.
A live-in couple, shouldn’t they be doing things like kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up every day?
As for this dragon…
This dragon was too thin-skinned, she would smoke at a kiss, and crash after smoking.
Kissing her was like kissing a piece of softwood.
There was no response at all!
“What are you looking at?”
Lucia stared at Xia Li for several seconds, making him feel restless.
“…What was that just now?”
After hesitating for a moment, Lucia asked in a very soft voice.
◈◈◈
As she spoke, she pointed her finger at her own mouth.
“A kiss,” Xia Li answered.
“But this kiss is different from before…”
“This time…”
Xia Li blushed.
He explained in a way that a dragon could understand.
“Before, it was a normal kiss, but the one just now was a hundred times kiss.”
“A hundred times kiss…”
Lucia repeated.
A hundred times, it sounded impressive.
No wonder she felt something she hadn’t felt before…
“I was impulsive.”
Xia Li ran a hand through his hair in frustration.
He felt that he needed to make things clear.
Lucia was different from the girls on Earth. She had just become familiar with her position, and was just starting to see the world from the perspective of a young girl…
She had only been a ‘girl’ for a few days, and Xia Li had already used his ultimate move on her, which was a bit too hasty.
Lucia looked at Xia Li intently, then took another sip of the noodle soup from the bowl in her hands.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked.
“Is this one of the ways humans express love?”
Xia Li nodded, “Yes, I only do this to people I like…”
Xia Li had indeed liked to tease the silly dragon before, but this time he absolutely wasn’t lying to her.
“Including my hand, it acted on its own. I couldn’t control it, as if I was under a charm.”
Xia Li said frankly.
Lucia pursed her lips and chuckled.
Charm?
She was a dragon, not a succubus, how could she know any charm…
But she was still happy that Xia Li said that.
Lucia found that she actually liked this kind of impulsiveness.
“I don’t hate it…”
“Hmm?”
“Then Xia Li doing this to me, I don’t hate it.”
◈◈◈
This was the first time Xia Li had tried to dress up his girlfriend himself.
Speaking of which, today could be considered their official ‘date’.
Going out to buy groceries and cook, with a purpose, didn’t count as a date.
Only today was different.
Even Lucia, under Zhou Anqi’s explanation, knew the meaning of the word ‘date’.
“…I’m not good at braiding.”
After learning a few tricks from the tutorials he found on Bilibili, Xia Li tied Lucia’s hair into two buns.
One bun was bigger than the other, and they looked a bit crooked at first glance.
But fortunately, Lucia had a high face value, no matter how bad Xia Li was at styling, Lucia’s face was enough to carry her beauty.
Touching the two buns hanging on either side of her shoulders, Lucia felt that this hairstyle was similar to twin tails.
However, after Xia Li clipped on the cherry hair clips, the dull hairstyle became much livelier.
“This is it!”
Putting down the mirror, Lucia put on her coat.
Today was a day she bought from Xia Li for 200 yuan, so time was precious.
“Wait a minute.” Xia Li reached out and took off her dragon tail and horns.
Xia Li appreciated Lucia’s intention to dress up as a little dragon girl to celebrate his birthday.
But this stuff was better kept at home for him to see secretly.
It wasn’t appropriate to wear them outside.
“Have you decided where you want to go, Ms. Lucia Sivana?”
Xia Li checked his phone twice before putting it in his pocket, putting on his coat and getting ready to go out.
He hadn’t updated his “Record of Experiences” all morning, and his stock of chapters had been used up in the past two days. But considering that he had promised to spend the whole day with Lucia, he definitely wouldn’t have time to type today.
So he simply wrote a leave note.
The content of the leave note was: Going out with my dragon girlfriend for inspiration.
Several comments immediately appeared under this chapter.
Most of them were question marks, some said that the author was so engrossed in writing that he couldn’t distinguish between reality, and some of his daughter fans cursed the author for being shameless.
Xia Li glanced at the comment section and rubbed his nose.
Then he held the dragon’s claw proudly.
“I haven’t thought about it…”
Lucia thought for a moment, but found that she couldn’t even name a few places.
“You bought me for a day, but you don’t even have an itinerary?”
“No,” the evil dragon shook her head, “Dragons are free-spirited, we don’t have destinations.”
“Since we don’t have a destination today, let’s just play whatever we see.”
Before going out, Xia Li put a box of biscuits and a bowl of water on the balcony, which was prepared for the stray cat Wuqi.
In order to prevent thieves from entering the house and to prevent his own kitten, Little Cotton, from being bullied by stray cats, Xia Li locked the balcony door.
After doing all this, he took the evil dragon downstairs and drove away.
When they were leaving the complex, they bumped into the old doorman with yellow teeth doing gymnastics.
Seeing the familiar car coming out, the old doorman smiled and made way for them.
“Taking your girlfriend out to play?”
“Yeah,” Xia Li chuckled.
The old man glanced into the car, and Lucia shyly nodded at the elderly and friendly human.
The old doorman didn’t mind the timid little girl. Although Lucia didn’t greet people much, she had a good reputation in the complex.
She was pretty and had a gentle and kind personality.
When neighbors were in trouble, she was always willing to lend a hand.
That boy from the Xia family was lucky.
“Aunt Huang said you’re getting married soon?” the old man asked Xia Li with a smile.
Xia Li searched his mind for who ‘Aunt Huang’ was.
He suddenly remembered the aunt who walked a corgi named Five Flower Meat downstairs that day.
Only she had asked Xia Li about marriage.
At that time, Xia Li laughed it off and said “soon, soon” along with her.
He didn’t expect that such a casual remark would actually reach the ears of his neighbors.
“Haha.”
Xia Li laughed dryly, and at this point, he could only continue with this answer.
“…Soon, soon.”
“I’ll be waiting for your wedding invitation!” The old man reached into the car window and patted Xia Li’s arm.
Xia Li waved goodbye to him and stepped on the gas to slip away.
“What is marriage?”
Just as they escaped from this awkward situation, the evil dragon beside him didn’t want to skip this topic and chased after Xia Li to ask.
Lucia had wanted to ask this question last time.
She had searched for related words online, and the results showed: Taking your ID card and household registration book to a certain place to register.
It seemed to be able to get social recognition for the relationship between human men and women.
Lucia sounded very excited. Seeing people around her asking this question with a smile, she also thought about how to respond to them.
But Xia Li had said that their relationship might not be recognized by society.
“Marriage is…”
Xia Li gripped the steering wheel, focused on the road ahead, and thought.
“It’s divided into two steps.
The first step is very simple, just take the documents and sign.
The second step is to hold a ceremony in a decorated hotel. You will wear the most beautiful clothes in the world, and then a lot of our relatives and friends will gather together to bless us… This is a social process.”
“Oh…”
Xia Li’s answer was similar to what Lucia had seen online.
Lucia had never seen it, so she couldn’t imagine such a scene.
