Chapter 88: Don’t Talk, We’re Kissing
The car wheels rolled over the wet ground, and the interior of the car was so quiet that you could hear the air blowing from the vents.
The autumn rainstorm came and went quickly.
The rain outside the car window gradually lessened. The misty rain couldn’t gather into strings before being ruthlessly pressed onto the glass by the speed of the car, drawing out streaks of transparent water marks.
Lucia was a little carsick and lay on Xia Li’s lap after getting in the car.
The electronics mall was still quite far from Wanniu District, where Xia Li’s home was located. Even without traffic jams, it would take about twenty minutes to get there, let alone the unbearable traffic on the roads after the rain.
Xia Li looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then lowered his head to observe the evil dragon on his lap.
Lucia’s face was very pale, even a little white.
She was like this every time she rode in a car, just like someone who gets carsick.
Lowering his head, Xia Li’s wet black hair was still dripping. A drop of water fell down and landed on Lucia’s quiet face. Xia Li hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his hair, smoothing the stray strands to the back of his head.
“…”
The evil dragon, who had been pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, slowly opened her watery eyes.
Xia Li looked at her calmly, and neither of them spoke.
“Damn it, the rain stopped after falling for a short while.”
“Who said it was going to thunder? There were only flashes of lightning.”
“…”
While they were stuck in traffic, the driver took out his phone and started chatting with someone. Xia Li’s scalp tingled as he listened to the authentic Sichuan dialect.
“What is he saying…?”
Lucia, who didn’t understand a word, blinked her curious eyes.
The strange pronunciation made her wonder if it was the language she had learned.
“He said the rain stopped after a while, and that there was no thunder even though it was supposed to.”
Xia Li bent down a little more.
They both knew it wouldn’t be good if the driver heard their conversation, so they kept their voices very low, making them sound extra gentle.
“English?” Lucia asked in a small voice.
She knew that different countries in the world had different languages, and English was very common.
“…It’s a dialect from my area,”
Xia Li’s lips were almost touching Lucia’s ear.
“…You’ll understand it naturally after you’ve been here for a while.”
The hot air he exhaled when he spoke tickled Lucia’s ears.
Her soft earlobes quickly turned red.
Xia Li thought this guy didn’t understand what shyness was, but she blushed just from whispering close to her?
But it could also be because of the hot air.
Xia Li wasn’t sure.
To conduct this experiment, he lowered his shoulder again.
The crystal-clear pink ears didn’t deepen in color, and Xia Li quickly turned his gaze to her soft, pink lips.
He lowered his body further.
He kept testing, wanting to see how far he could go before Lucia pushed him away.
Then, until the tip of his nose touched lightly, and their breaths were completely mixed together, Lucia still didn’t react.
What a silly dragon!
He was almost embarrassed, but Lucia just stared at him curiously, as if she wanted to know what he was doing.
Doing what!
Of course, it’s almost kissing!
I’m almost going for it, and you’re still spacing out!!
Xia Li was so angry.
Looking up at her bright and somewhat expectant eyes, Xia Li wasn’t happy that she didn’t reject him but felt a sense of frustration.
What can I do to make the silly dragon shy?
Only when she’s shy and becomes bashful can I take advantage of this feeling and tell her decisively, ‘This is what liking someone means’.
This kind of liking is completely different from her liking for humans, gold, and sheep.
But she’s not shy.
“Screech—”
“Damn it!”
“Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?!”
At this moment, the ride-hailing car they were in suddenly braked sharply.
The driver angrily rolled down the window, cursing.
This sudden braking caused Xia Li’s body to tilt.
The soft lips, as soft as Xia Li had imagined, touched his lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.
◈◈◈
Oh my god!
Xia Li immediately sat up straight.
Dude, I really didn’t mean to do that.
Driver, your driving skills are… really good.
Xia Li wiped his face, feeling his body getting hot, and hurriedly rolled down the car window.
The rain outside had almost stopped, and a cool breeze was blowing. Xia Li let out a long breath.
“Xia Li, you have a fever.”
“I’m not feverish!”
Before his restless heart could calm down, Lucia, who was lying on his lap, suddenly spoke.
Xia Li retorted in embarrassment.
“Then why is your face so red?”
“Where is it red?”
“You must be carsick.”
“I’m dragonsick!”
“…”
Lucia frowned her delicate brows, wondering why Xia Li suddenly got dragonsick.
Moreover, dragonsickness had a specific meaning in Azure Continent. Human Dragon Knights rode on the backs of domesticated dragons, but because the dragons flew too fast, humans would have trouble breathing and their brains wouldn’t be able to adapt, which would cause dragonsickness.
But she hadn’t even transformed into a dragon, and Xia Li hadn’t even ridden her yet.
“I’ll definitely fly slower in the future.”
Thinking of this, Lucia suddenly blurted out.
Xia Li laughed at her nonsensical train of thought.
Where did the silly dragon’s mind wander off to?
“I just kissed… I accidentally bumped into you just now, here, did you feel anything?”
Xia Li didn’t believe that Lucia didn’t feel anything. He pointed to his lips and asked her.
“Feeling…”
Lucia couldn’t quite describe it.
But after thinking about it carefully, she found that this indescribable, ticklish feeling in her heart was somewhat similar to when female and male dragons with a good relationship intertwined their tails.
If it were translated into human actions…
Lucia remembered that the last time she was on the bus, she saw human couples touching their mouths like this.
Oh right!
Lucia remembered.
“Xia Li, are you hungry?”
Her clear amber eyes kept changing with the changing streetlights outside the window. Xia Li looked at the girl in his arms, his heart fluttered.
What does she mean by ‘are you hungry’?
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and Xia Li secretly swallowed.
Is this how the evil dragon tests human males?
Comrade Xia Li knew in his heart that he couldn’t withstand the test at all.
“Your stomach must be empty…” Lucia said.
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ruminated just now.”
“Rumi…”
Xia Li opened his mouth and looked at the evil dragon in his arms incredulously.
He almost choked.
What the hell.
We were kissing, and she’s asking if I’m going to ruminate!!
“I said it wrong last time, this isn’t rumination,” Xia Li corrected her with a strange expression.
“Pure friendship doesn’t ruminate?”
“It’s not a matter of pure friendship…”
Xia Li rubbed his wet hair.
The boomerang he had thrown out eventually hit him back.
“Besides, we’re no longer just purely friends…”
