Chapter 158: Falling in Love with a Dragon
After fulfilling the three-piece date set of eating, shopping, and watching a movie,
Xia Li felt that it was about time.
For him, someone who was used to being a homebody, staying outside was indeed not as good as being at home.
The main reason was that Xia Li was too boring. Even if he was on a date with a girl, he couldn’t come up with any fun ideas.
Zhou Anqi’s words last time were very true.
It was too much of a grievance for Lucia to follow him.
“How do you feel? Are you happy to be out and about?”
The more Xia Li thought about it, the more unsure he felt, always feeling like something was missing today.
However, Lucia didn’t have such thoughts. The evil dragon was always so supportive, never a killjoy. She curved her eyes, responding to Xia Li with a sweet smile.
“I’m very happy!”
“Was it worth spending two hundred yuan?”
“Worth it!”
Lucia added, “Next time I’ll buy you again!”
“…Well, thank you, boss.” Xia Li smiled helplessly.
In fact, if you really wanted to calculate it, this two hundred yuan was borrowed from Xia Li in the first place.
If one day Lucia was really capable of earning two hundred yuan in this society with her own strength, and then slapped the money on Xia Li, wanting to buy him for a day, Xia Li would definitely be her little brother.
Standing at the street corner with the cold wind blowing, Lucia looked at the endless stream of traffic and fell into a daze.
She remembered that their car was parked underground.
As for how to get to the underground parking lot, Lucia had absolutely no clue.
But she didn’t want to appear like she had no sense of direction in front of Xia Li, so she put her hands on her hips.
“Your place, my place, or Home Inn?”
“???”
“Stop learning these things from Anqi!”
Xia Li gave the dragon’s head two punches.
What “your place, my place, or Home Inn”?
Of course, they were going back to their shared home.
“But this is the last step of the date…”
Lucia pondered.
To be honest, she had learned a lot of things.
But she hadn’t mastered many of them.
For example, she remembered the content of each step of these dating procedures, but she didn’t understand the specific practices of these steps.
However, seeing Xia Li’s reaction…
Could the last step be something very powerful?
“Let’s go, it’s time to go home.”
Xia Li took Lucia back along the way, taking the escalator down from the shopping mall.
Lucia followed behind, stopping and going, holding her phone in both hands and typing.
Xia Li wanted to correct the evil dragon, saying that she shouldn’t play with her phone while walking, but after seeing Zhou Anqi’s avatar in the chat window, he didn’t say anything.
At this time, the sky outside was getting darker.
The streetlights began to flicker, emitting a dim but warm glow.
In the quiet car, Lucia tapped on the keyboard from time to time, typing away. Xia Li looked at her sideways, and she would hide her phone behind her.
Finally, in order to avoid the Brave Hero’s peeking, Lucia simply raised her phone facing Xia Li. The fluorescent light shone on her face, ensuring that Xia Li couldn’t peek at it.
However, being clever backfired.
Xia Li rolled up the window of the passenger seat. Through the reflective window film, he saw the chat content inside.
Lulu: It’s done!
Qi: It’s over? Where did Xia Ge take you?
Lulu: Eating, shopping, watching a movie!
Qi: And then?
Lulu: And then now on the way home
Qi: ??? He only took you to these places?
Qi: …Then how about the deer antlers you bought yesterday, did you use them?
Lulu: Used them
Qi: And then?
Lulu: And then I closed my eyes, and it was dawn
Qi: Nothing happened?
Lulu: Uh-huh, nothing happened
Qi: Cat cat shocked.JPG
Qi: For a moment, I don’t know who has the problem between you two…
The font reflected on the car window was mirrored, and it was a bit difficult for Xia Li to read, but he could barely understand the information on it by piecing it together.
This was the content of the two sisters’ chat?
It was really quite explosive.
◈◈◈
What was Zhou Anqi planning for his little dragon girl?
Could it be that she was teaching her how to capture Xia Li’s heart??
However, because Xia Li only saw the last few messages, he didn’t know anything about the previous chat history.
After thinking about it, Xia Li could only think of one possibility:
Lucia told Zhou Anqi that she wanted to gain a foothold and capture Xia Li’s heart. Then Zhou Anqi, from the perspective of a modern girl, completely misinterpreted her meaning.
So she began to offer advice and strategies, making the dragon Lucia dizzy.
Then Lucia began to follow her instructions, although she completed all the ‘tasks’, because of her insufficient comprehension, she did not achieve Zhou Anqi’s preset goal.
Whose fault was this?
Of course, it was Zhou Anqi’s fault!
Xia Li still wanted to follow his own pace.
Liking someone, physical impulses were inevitable. Xia Li had thought about whether he would ask Lucia if she was willing in a moment of passion.
He didn’t need to guess to know…
Lucia would never refuse him.
The answer to this question, for him, had always been only one.
It was said that if you liked someone, you should be unrestrained, but if you loved someone, you should be restrained.
Xia Li’s feelings were somewhere in between.
Sometimes he wished he could immediately pull Lucia into his arms and make a vow of eternal love to her, and then complete the last step of human expression of love.
Sometimes, when he calmed down, Xia Li would think about Lucia’s situation in this society.
She couldn’t even enter a hospital, Xia Li couldn’t give her a legal identity, and he couldn’t give their mother and daughter, or mother and son, a suitable living environment.
Falling in love with a dragon, there were too many social problems to face.
This kind of indecisive character was not like Xia Li at all.
If he didn’t really like her, why would he think so much?
Leaving aside other things.
Although their relationship would not be recognized by society…
But, at least it should be recognized by his parents, right?
Back home.
Xia Li carried the shopping bags into the kitchen and sorted out the fruits and vegetables.
He had bought another batch of goods today, both vegetarian and meat, with balanced nutrition.
After feeding the goldfish, Lucia came over to help him put the eggs into the box in the refrigerator.
After putting away the eggs, she went to shake the basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and put them in a cool and dry place.
The two of them were busy back and forth, unexpectedly in sync.
Time jumped to eight o’clock in the evening.
After a whole day of tossing and turning, even Xia Li was a little tired.
He lay sprawled on the sofa watching TV. Lucia was still typing on her phone, and as she typed, she went to the bedroom.
When she came out again, she had a small blanket in her hand.
Lucia covered Xia Li with the blanket and patted his thigh with her small hand, as if she was taking advantage of him.
“It’s cold at night, and humans are most likely to catch colds and get sick in winter.”
“I’m more resistant to cold than ordinary people…”
Xia Li pulled the evil dragon’s claws and asked her to sit over and share the blanket with him.
Xia Li did feel that something was missing today.
In previous years, on his birthday, he would always get drunk with his friends, and even after partying until midnight, they would still go on to the next round of revelry. Sometimes it was an internet cafe or a bar, and if they wanted something quieter, they would go play a late-night game of pool. Basically, by the time they went back, the sky was already bright.
And this year’s birthday was quite peaceful. It was only now that night was approaching, and Xia Li was already preparing to go to bed.
It was too bland.
There was no feeling of exhilaration of bidding farewell to another year of life amidst the blessings of friends.
There were only these slender and delicate hands in his.
He pulled Lucia’s hand over and kissed the back of her delicate hand.
Lucia subconsciously withdrew her hand, but found that she couldn’t move it, so she pretended to be busy looking at the TV, her face flushed with a blush at some point.
Was it worth it…
Xia Li was thinking.
It was worth it.
