Chapter 91: Girlfriend
“This is the charging port. When the battery is below 50%, plug it in to charge.”
Early the next morning, the first thing Xia Li did after waking up was to teach Lucia how to use a mobile phone.
Lucia had woken up early but didn’t wake Xia Li. She just sat quietly on a small stool.
As soon as Xia Li opened his eyes, he saw Lucia, the dragon girl, sitting by the sofa in the unlit living room, her eyes silently fixed on him.
It was quite frightening.
“When charging, you can only plug the charger in. Don’t plug any other strange things in.”
Xia Li demonstrated how to charge the phone to Lucia. There was a socket next to the sofa, and both of their phones had Type-C ports, so they could share the same charger.
Walking to the wall, Lucia tried charging the phone as Xia Li instructed.
With a ‘ding~’, the phone lit up. Lucia’s eyes also lit up.
“Why start charging at 50% instead of 0%?”
“Because it feels safer that way.”
“Besides the charger, can other things be plugged into the port?”
“No,” Xia Li explained, “I’m specifically telling you this to prevent you from putting strange things in there, especially with freshly washed hands. Never touch it, or it will electrocute people… electrocute dragons.”
“Oh…”
Lucia silently took note and carefully took the phone from Xia Li’s hand.
Placing her finger on the center, the fingerprint authentication was successful. The phone unlocked and automatically lit up.
Mobile phone!
This was the first treasure she had obtained on Earth, more precious than gold!
“I’ve already installed the SIM card for you. I’m the only contact in there. I’ll add more contacts later when you make friends or meet my parents.”
As Xia Li spoke, he used his finger to open WeChat on the phone screen.
He had downloaded very few apps for Lucia. Besides WeChat, there were only some small games and video apps like Bilibili.
Opening the WeChat interface, Xia Li clicked on the only contact inside.
“This is me.”
He pointed to the anime male avatar that looked a bit aloof.
“Xia Li, why are you a girl?”
“This is a boy!”
Lucia’s ability to distinguish anime avatars was poor. Because she often saw strange bunny girl wallpapers on Xia Li’s computer desktop, she thought the anime avatar was a girl.
“This Summer Dawn is my online…”
Just as he was about to continue introducing his online name to Lucia and teach her a few more characters,
Xia Li paused, took the phone back, and shamelessly added a note for himself.
“It’s so boring to call each other by our online names. I’ll change the note for you, which is like a nickname.”
“Okay, I want to call you Fragrant Brave Hero.” Lucia nodded.
This was the title she had thought of before.
However, Xia Li didn’t do as she wished. Instead, he typed two characters in the interface, followed by a heart symbol.
‘Boyfriend’
A bit cheesy.
But it was just right for a soft girl like Lucia.
“What does ‘Boyfriend’ mean?” Lucia didn’t understand.
“It’s short for boyfriend. I’m your boyfriend now, right?”
Xia Li asked the evil dragon in a coaxing tone.
Lucia, who had long been led astray, naturally admitted it.
“Yes, you are also my only boyfriend.”
Xia Li smiled, “Then that’s settled. This note is definitely correct.”
Now the whole neighborhood knew that Xia Li had a girlfriend. Lucia definitely had to take responsibility for her part in this.
So, whether Lucia was passive or active, Xia Li decided to lure her onto this pirate ship first.
“Then what note did you give me?”
Lucia leaned over to look at Xia Li’s phone.
Xia Li was typing the three characters ‘Smelly Evil Dragon,’ which Lucia happened to recognize.
The evil dragon’s fair side profile gradually became quiet.
Silently deleting the three characters, Xia Li re-entered: ‘Girlfriend’.
Lucia’s quiet face lit up with a smile again.
“Hehe…”
Silly girl.
She didn’t even know she had been completely fooled, and she was still smiling!
“Knock, knock.”
The door was knocked on at this moment. Xia Li glanced at the time and judged that it should be the delivery person from Meituan.
“It’s the grocery delivery. I’ll go open the door.”
Xia Li took a large bag of fresh vegetables and a pink polka-dot apron from the male bunny-eared delivery person at the door.
Xia Li carried the things to the kitchen to put them away, with Lucia following closely behind.
Various vegetables that Lucia couldn’t name were neatly placed in the refrigerator. Lucia would take out her phone with uncertainty and stop to watch carefully when she found the corresponding plant introduction on the video app.
Xia Li was relieved that the evil dragon had such a strong learning ability.
He was reluctant to let Lucia touch the stove before because he was afraid she would play with fire.
But after observing her for a while, he found that Lucia wasn’t interested in playing with fire. She preferred playing with water and bubbles.
“I’ll leave the kitchen to you?”
“Yes, I’m the little chef,” Lucia replied without hesitation.
◈◈◈
Meaning that she was the little chef, so the kitchen was her territory.
She kept repeating the phrase as if she was trying to brainwash herself.
Xia Li took out the apron and hung it around Lucia’s neck, then tied the small bow at the back of her waist.
Her slightly flat bottom seemed to be lifted a bit by the apron bow at her waist. Xia Li hooked his finger on the bow tie and tugged it gently.
Thinking to himself that the sweater under the apron was really in the way.
It would be nice if she only wore the apron.
This isn’t right.
Why are my thoughts getting more and more perverted?
Is it also an important part of a relationship to crave the body of the person you like?
“It looks good.”
Rubbing his hair, Xia Li reluctantly looked away from Lucia’s apron.
The little chef was full of energy after receiving praise.
She rolled up her sweater sleeves, holding an eggplant in one hand and a spatula in the other.
To ensure the mystery of the final lunch, Lucia kicked Xia Li out of the kitchen.
“You go out and wait first.”
“Okay, okay.”
Xia Li couldn’t stop smiling as Lucia pushed him out the door, then closed the kitchen door behind him.
“Don’t play with fire! Don’t splash water when the oil is hot!” Xia Li shouted inside.
“Got it!”
“Call me if you need anything!”
“Okay!”
The little chef inside responded loudly.
This experience of having a girlfriend was just like raising a daughter.
But a girlfriend raised by his own hands was much more appealing than those outside.
Xia Li felt refreshed and comfortable lying on the sofa.
Listening to the clumsy chopping sounds coming from the kitchen, Xia Li rolled over on the sofa like a salted fish.
Eating food cooked by his girlfriend… how wonderful.
Although he hadn’t eaten yet, he was already mentally full.
Opening his phone, Xia Li scrolled through his recent contacts, wanting to find someone to show off his good mood.
After scrolling through the list, Xia Li stared at the chat window with Fang Xia, lost in thought.
Zhao Qin must have sent the photos to Fang Xia last night, but Fang Xia hadn’t sent a single message since their last video call with Lucia.
She must have been gossiping about Xia Li behind his back, but her plan was probably to play it cool for now.
So Xia Li would also wait and see.
The two sides were at a stalemate.
Forget it, I won’t move if the enemy doesn’t.
Neither Xia Li nor Lucia was ready to deal with the situation with their parents.
Closing the chat window with Mrs. Fang, Xia Li switched to the group chat with his buddies.
He had left early during their last dinner and barely had any drinks. The group had been scolding him for prioritizing his girlfriend over his friends.
Xia Li had been lurking for two days, ignoring them.
Now that the storm had passed, the group was chatting about something else.
Monkey: If the person you like goes to a junior high school reunion and doesn’t come home all night, what would you do?
Peach: I’d ask around like you.
Monkey: Damn it, I said “if,” and it’s not about me.
Peach: Stop pretending. We all grew up together. You still haven’t let go of that junior high classmate you were chasing… what was her name, Yuanyuan?
Peach: I say, you haven’t won after a ten-year chase. Why don’t we just give up? If you can’t catch Yuanyuan, we still have Yuanzi in our group. You can make do with him.
Peach: @Yuanzi
Yuanzi: Are you eating oil cakes?
“Hahaha…”
Xia Li laughed out loud looking at the goofy chat records of the F3.
He would at most chuckle in the past, but today Xia Li laughed so hard that he rolled around on the sofa.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, everything seemed amusing.
Summer Dawn: Hey guys, what are you talking about?
Peach: Oh my god, what just flashed by?
Monkey: I saw it, it seems like the traitor among us.
Yuanzi: Morning, boss.
Summer Dawn: Morning, it’s noon already. Have you guys eaten?
Xia Li had just cast the hook, and three fish immediately took the bait.
Except for Fu Yuan, who was at home preparing for the civil service exam, Hou Zijie and Chen Tao, the two office workers still in their internship period, immediately started complaining about everything.
Monkey: Damn it, I’m still working on a proposal, and everyone in the next group is on lunch break. Only our group is still working like dogs 『smile』
Peach: With my shitty boss, it’s already good if I can get off work on time at night. It’s not even 12 o’clock yet, and you expect him to let me out for lunch??
Summer Dawn: What a coincidence, I haven’t eaten yet either.
After sending this message, Xia Li deliberately waited for a while.
As he fell silent, the group also became quiet.
Knowing Boss Xia’s personality, he must be up to no good after that sentence.
Summer Dawn: I’m waiting for my girlfriend to cook for me.
The three: …………
Kick him out!
