Chapter 226: Xia Li’s Special Characteristics
The end of April and the beginning of May in the south is a gentle time between late spring and early summer.
The sun is scorching, but the breeze carries a hint of coolness.
Xia Li takes off his last jacket and starts to go shirtless.
The evil dragon imitates his attire, revealing her smooth arms.
As the temperature rises steadily, even the work uniforms have been replaced with short-sleeved styles.
The climate and temperature changes are not obvious in Azure Continent, but on Earth, Lucia feels the relatively distinct four seasons.
Summer is coming!
Soon, I’ll be able to see big sisters wearing all kinds of thin stockings and long skirts!
Hehehe… Lucia likes skirts. She thinks this kind of clothing is simply invented for dragon people like her.
It’s a pity that Xia Li usually doesn’t allow her to wear skirts unless she spends the whole day with him. Otherwise, she can only wear shorts.
Shorts are also very particular.
The position of the trouser legs can only reach the knees at most. Xia Li won’t buy the evil dragon pants that even expose the roots of her thighs.
Xia Li says that the evil dragon likes to run and jump, and her range of motion is not suitable for wearing short shorts.
Plus, she wants to stick her tail out whenever she wears a skirt.
So Xia Li simply restricted her freedom of dressing, directly eliminating small skirts on weekdays, ensuring that her butt is wrapped tightly.
“Labor Day…”
Lucia flips through the calendar in her hand, making plans for the next few days of vacation.
Logically speaking, Labor Day is the time for vacation.
But the more lively the holiday, the better the business of the pet hospital.
Most pet-owning families are office workers from nine to five. They usually work on weekdays and stay at home on weekends. Only during short holidays like Labor Day will they have the time to take their pets to the hospital for a check-up.
Therefore, in order to welcome the upcoming Golden Week, the pet hospital simply arranged for employees to take compensatory leave in advance.
In addition to the normal day off every week, two extra days of vacation are given.
Lucia used her little brain to arrange the three-day vacation together, and she could lie down at home for three days.
“Why is Labor Day for vacation, not for labor?”
Lucia’s fingers pointed at the calendar and asked Xia Li beside her.
She used to be insensitive to human festivals. Every time she heard someone say something about a festival, she would only imagine the scene of the National Day celebration in the human kingdom.
Now it’s good. Because holidays are linked to her own holidays, Lucia starts to look forward to it every day. She takes out the calendar at home and flips through it, looking forward to where she will go with Xia Li for the next holiday.
Her situation is exactly the same as when Xia Li was in school.
When Xia Li was in school, he was most concerned about Labor Day and National Day. He always felt that the fatigue that had been squeezed for half a year could be cleared during these two festivals.
“Labor Day is a holiday for workers to take a break, not a day for labor… What you said, even capitalists would cry.”
Xia Li stopped writing and said to the evil dragon in a gentle voice.
With the arrival of May, next month will be his exam month, and now is the time to consolidate knowledge points.
Although veterinary medicine is a science subject, most of the content still needs to be memorized by rote. This is Xia Li’s best field. As long as comprehension memory can keep up, there is no pressure to learn a unit in one go.
“However, Labor Day does require labor.”
Xia Li stood up as he spoke, and beckoned the evil dragon to follow.
“When I was in school, I had to do a big cleaning every Labor Day holiday. I don’t know if this counts as a custom. Let’s do a big cleaning at home today.” He said.
Labor Day is still a few days away, but it’s rare for the evil dragon to be so free today, so it’s good to clean the house.
All the housework in the family used to be done by Fang Xia, and Xia Li never worried about it.
Later, when he lived alone, he realized that there was a lot of invisible hygiene in various corners.
“I scrub it very clean every time!”
Xia Li took Lucia to the balcony to get the tools, she took the broom, and Xia Li took the mop.
Men and women match, work is not tired.
Lucia pouted a little reluctantly.
In her opinion, she cleans the house every day, and their house is very clean. It is already the cleanest lair she has ever lived in!
“It is very clean.”
Xia Li decided to praise the dragon first, and then continued.
“But after all, it’s a festival, and there still needs to be a sense of ritual.”
“Sense of ritual…”
Lucia muttered to herself, suddenly thinking of the topics that colleagues often discussed.
“It is said that the 14th of every month is Valentine’s Day, and there are twelve Valentine’s Days of different colors in a year…”
After finishing speaking, she looked at Xia Li, as if she was deliberately pointing at him.
“Ahem,” Xia Li cleared his throat.
“That’s commercial hype, specially designed for us men to spend gold coins… We only celebrate China’s traditional Valentine’s Day, which is Qixi Festival, which falls in August this year.”
“August…that’s more than three months away!” Lucia counted her fingers and quickly gave the answer.
“What does Xia Li want to do on Valentine’s Day?”
“What do you want to do?” Xia Li asked back.
Lucia thought for a while with her head down.
She has no pursuit.
The only pursuit is to stick with Xia Li, and add a little bit of happiness in daily life, which can make her happy for a long time.
“I…I recently learned how to cook spicy chicken, I’ll stir-fry spicy chicken for you!” she said excitedly.
“Okay, it would be even better if the three words ‘spicy chicken’ could be removed.”
Xia Li said with a half-smile.
He can only bully the little dragon who doesn’t understand these memes.
Otherwise, he would have to weigh the consequences of saying this.
Xia Li stared at that snow-white face with a smile, constantly making excuses for himself in his heart.
Although it is not good to bully a dragon like this, Xia Li just likes her.
Bullying the girl you like is also a way for boys to express their liking.
Besides, what’s wrong with being greedy for your girlfriend?
Xia Li is very honest about his feelings.
However, under his gaze, that snow-white little face actually turned rosy.
Lucia thought for a long time, she didn’t know if she understood something, she stammered and said.
“…Okay, okay… Forget it, it’s not good.”
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the broom in her hand and ran away. The big dragon tail behind her dragged on the ground, and the tip of the tail kept slapping the floor, not knowing whether it was excited or angry.
“Meow…”
Lucia picked up Cotton from the nest and squeezed it.
She is always absent-minded when doing housework. Sometimes she goes to play with bubble water while washing dishes, and the same is true when sweeping the floor. She wanders around the living room with a broom, and then she doesn’t know where the broom is. She was lying on the sofa and watching cartoons for some reason.
Because there is no sense of crisis at home, her nerves are in a relaxed state, and Lucia’s attention is not easy to concentrate… This is actually a manifestation of happiness.
“I speak good words, I am good. Your father speaks bad words, your father is bad.”
“Meow~?”
Lucia hugged Little Cotton, pressed her nose against Cotton’s snow-white belly and took a breath, her golden-brown eyes stared at Xia Li shyly.
Xia Li didn’t hear what she was muttering, the mop in his hand had been replaced with a rag.
He took the washed rag in and started wiping the door frame.
“Cleaning should be done from top to bottom, otherwise you have to toss back and forth several times.”
Xia Li muttered while working.
Lucia stared at him quietly for a moment, then put down Little Cotton and raised her hand to cool her cheeks.
Afterwards, Lucia closed her eyes, and in this living room surrounded by morning mist, a faint blue light appeared on her body.
Xia Li stretched out his arm and was wiping the top of the door.
◈◈◈
Suddenly feeling something, he turned his head to look at Lucia.
The girl’s long black hair faded, and thousands of strands of silver hair spread down from the top of her head, the ends of her hair swaying without wind.
After a brief chant, she opened her eyes and her thin lips parted slightly.
“＜Third Order · Space Purification!＞”
Xia Li: “…………”
For a moment, blue light flashed.
Xia Li closed the door as fast as he could. Little Cotton, who was still strolling leisurely on the ground just now, was so frightened that he jumped up and down, and finally hid under the sofa.
The light only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
The furniture and floor in the room were instantly as clean as a mirror, the purified space was also spotless, and the entire old house was completely new.
“Labor is over!”
Lucia clapped her hands, looking triumphant.
If it weren’t for the fact that this kind of range magic couldn’t be used in the hospital, Lucia would have wanted to use this water element magic to take a shortcut every time she got off work to disinfect.
Now that the scene has changed to home, she thinks she can give it a try.
Anyway, it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. If Xia Li blames her, she’ll just act coquettishly.
“This is also considered labor…???”
Xia Li was still holding a rag in his hand, feeling both angry and amused for a while.
“Why not! Labor refers to the human movement that outputs labor or labor value to the outside world. The magic I use is also a kind of labor value!” Lucia put her hands on her hips.
Magic is really cool, it saves effort and doesn’t take much effort.
I will use it again in the future.
“It’s okay to use it at home, but you are not allowed to use it when you go out.”
Xia Li threw the rag in his hand back to the balcony, just said it lightly, and didn’t blame the dragon.
He originally planned to spend most of the day cleaning the house.
Now it’s alright, Lucia solved it all with one magic.
He has to reschedule the rest of the time.
“Go on a date!”
Before Xia Li could think, Lucia had already made arrangements.
It was rare for her to have her own opinion, Xia Li looked up at her: “Where do you want to go?”
“Go to the dating spot!”
The evil dragon’s mind is full of kissing and hugging, and then being tired of Xia Li.
Since Xia Li stimulated her in front of the cemetery last time, she has understood one thing…
Seize the day.
To do infinite things in a limited time!
Take action on what you want and what you want to do!
The same goes for her feelings.
To let Xia Li know that she really likes him…
So, he is not allowed to leave early.
“Dating spots are all visited at night. It’s easier to do bad things in the dark… There’s no such thing as going there in broad daylight.”
Xia Li felt that the dragon had changed a lot recently.
She used to be unable to distinguish between liking and liking, but later she gradually knew what liking was. Later, she could only express her feelings in a shy and implicit way…
Now, Lucia has become quite generous and direct.
She is even willing to do everything for Xia Li, in order to express all her love for Xia Li.
Xia Li started searching for suitable dating places on his mobile phone.
His eyes fell on the scenic spot ranking of ‘most popular among young people’, and he pondered for a while.
“Last time I took you to the amusement park, you couldn’t get in because of your identity…”
He looked at Lucia, recalling her casting process just now.
The dragon race has a high degree of compatibility with magic power. Often when humans are still chanting lengthy and complicated magic spells, the dragon race has already created a high-level magic.
When Lucia was at her peak, she could even cast magic instantly… Although her strength has only recovered less than 20% now, it should be no problem to secretly use invisibility or something like that.
“Do you want to go to the amusement park?” Xia Li tried to ask.
The evil dragon’s eyes lit up: “Go!”
◈◈◈
“Hold hands.”
After spending half an hour dressing up, the man and the dragon slowly dawdled downstairs.
The sun at the end of April is getting hotter and hotter. Even though it is not yet the beginning of summer, the ground temperature has reached 40 degrees under the baking of the sun.
Lucia was wearing a small straw hat, Xia Li was striding ahead, she pouted a little unhappy, and stretched out her paw again, strongly demanding that Xia Li hold it.
Xia Li slowed down and turned around to lead the dragon.
“Two steps away, the car is right in front.”
“I have to hold it, otherwise you will be hit by a car!” Lucia muttered.
Xia Li smiled, touching this soft little hand, feeling very beautiful in his heart.
The stinky dragon doesn’t have the ‘dragon claws on top principle’ now.
This principle used to make Xia Li’s mentality explode. It’s really unsightly for a big man like him to be led across the road by his girlfriend.
“How did you learn the characteristics of our province?”
Xia Li opened the car door, hugged the dragon into the car first, and then went around to the driver’s seat himself.
“What characteristics?” Lucia tilted her head and asked.
“The characteristics of Sichuan Province, I like to use overlapping words when speaking, you just said ‘hold hands’, ‘be a car’, ‘hit and fly’… These are all ways of speaking that Sichuan people like.”
“Is this a characteristic of Sichuan Province…”
Lucia thought about it.
She didn’t feel that she had integrated into this province much, but on second thought, she was indeed influenced by human culture.
After thinking about these two words for a while, Lucia felt that there was ambiguity, and saw that there were no people outside the car, she half-covered her mouth, and secretly said to Xia Li.
“It’s obviously Xia Li’s characteristic.”
“What characteristics can I have???”
Xia Li was a little confused, the things this dragon thought about were always very novel.
“Xia Li,”
Lucia stretched out her index finger, tapped Xia Li’s chest twice, and said with emphasis on the syllables.
“Characteristics.”
“…………”
“Where did you learn that!!”
Xia Li was completely amused this time.
He also said that this dragon didn’t understand, and he could bully her casually.
As a result, this dragon understands everything.
She can even use internet memes now.
“Hehe…”
Seeing his reaction so strongly, Lucia moved her buttocks to put on her seat belt.
“I learned from Xia Li, who has special characteristics!”
