My Dragon

"Dad, dad, hug, hug."

Long Si hugged Nan Huailin's legs tightly with both arms, looked up at him with a small face, begged milkily.

Long San and Long Si, both backward elements, developed a revolutionary friendship and split a small group among the four brothers. Long San also ran over and hugged his other leg for a hug.

Nan Huailin squatted down and hugged one in each hand.

When he was breastfeeding, he moved from Dragon One to Dragon Four, his arms were trained early, and it was effortless to hold both at the same time.

Nan Huailin said with a smile on the left and the other on the right, "Look at it, let's go home."

Long Yi and Long Er were not far away playing with their new friends, Nan Huai Lin shouted: "Long Yi, take my brother, we are going home."

Long Yi obediently held Long Er's chubby hand, waved politely to his little friend, and then ran to catch up with Nan Huailin, reaching out and grabbing his pants.

The growth rate of the babies is really amazing. Long Yi and Long Er can now run. Although they often wrestle, Long San and Long Si are not stable, but they have begun to learn words, every time they listen to their milk. When his anger was called "Dad, Dad", Nan Huailin felt that his heart was about to melt.

"Shark!" Long Er pointed to the sea separated by a wall and blurted out the new vocabulary he had just learned from his father.

Nan Huailin turned his head and saw that a huge shark was wandering outside the "city wall".

After the second child was born, Nan Huailin and Philadelphia brought four dragon cubs and three dragon eggs—the newly born Dragon Six and Dragon Seven, and the Dragon Five who had been reluctant to break their shells—to the long-awaited underwater city. In a blink of an eye, he has lived here for more than a month.

Life in the submarine city is leisurely and slow. There are no days and nights, no hustle and bustle here, only their family, a few sharks, and countless underwater creatures outside the "city wall". Nanhuailin did not have anything like Fei Zheng had previously expected. Not adapting, on the contrary, he likes such a peaceful and quiet life very much, a bit like the ancients living in the mountains and forests.

The area of ​​the Undersea City is not that big. It is about the same as the Forbidden City in Beijing, or slightly larger. Because it was built hundreds of years ago, the architectural style here is quite retro—and it's still a mix and match style, with Eastern and Western characteristics. He even imitated two buildings that resemble pyramids. Philadelphia said they were the "Dragon Ruins", the tomb of the dragon clan, and his parents were also buried there. When they first arrived here, Nanhuailin often gave birth to a kind of self-traveling. Illusion.

At this time, Nan Huailin was holding Long San and Long Si, followed by Long Yi and Long Er who were drowsily walking on the road beside the "city wall".

The "city wall" is transparent. On both sides of the wall are two completely different worlds. Inside the wall is a quiet and desolate underwater city, and outside the wall is the mysterious Atlantic Ocean.

The school of colorful fish was swimming freely, a big fish suddenly rushed over and dispersed the school of fish, and the little fishes fled in all directions.

The huge jellyfish was shining brightly in the gloomy water, and the slender tentacles like ribbons floated leisurely. Philadelphia said that it was its murder weapon and its "stomach."

The shark that Long Er saw just now followed them, and suddenly hit the "city wall" with its fangs, and made a muffled noise. Nan Huailin was startled, but the babies were amused and giggled.

This shark must be new, Nan Huai Lin thought, otherwise he wouldn't be so stupid as to hit the wall.

"Daughter-in-law!" Suddenly heard the shout, Nan Huai Lin looked over at the sound, and saw Philadelphia walking quickly towards him.

"Why did you come out?" Nan Huailin asked.

"Come to you, Aunt Su called you to go home for dinner." Philadelphia walked to the front, reached out and took Long San and held Long Yi with one hand, while holding Long Yi's small hand with the other hand, "You didn't take your phone. My mother sent you a video just now, and I picked it up."

"I'm going to post a video, and I have made a lot of progress," Nan Huailin said with a smile, "What did you say?"

"Just ask how you are lately and if you are sick," Philadelphia said. "I also said that the new year will be another month. Ask us how we are thinking about adoption."

Nan Huailin asked: "What did you say?"

Philadelphia said: "I promise that in May of this year, I will let the second elder hold his grandson."

Nan Huailin thought for a while: "In May next year, Dragon One, Two, Three, and Four will be a normal human baby. It should be no problem to bring it to my parents."

Philadelphia said: "I think so too."

Nan Huailin said, "By the way, did Dragon Five hatch today? No. Well, I will ask tomorrow."

Because Dragon Five never came out, Philadelphia put it together with Dragon Six and Dragon Seven for a second incubation.

The way Philadelphia hatches eggs is also very strange. He needs to become a dragon first, then swallow the dragon eggs into his stomach, and hatch them at his own body temperature for eight hours a day, and finally spit out the dragon eggs.

Nan Huailin had always worried that Philadelphia would digest or break the dragon egg by doing so, but Philadelphia laughed at him for unreasonable worry, saying that the shell of the dragon egg is so hard that even if it accidentally falls to the ground, it will not necessarily break.

After listening to Nan Huailin's self-question and answer, Philadelphia laughed and said: "Long Wu will definitely be a big business in the future, it's too calm."

Nan Huailin said: "If Dragon Five hatches last, is it not Dragon Five, but Dragon Seven?"

Philadelphia smiled and said, "Then you have to ask Long Qi if he wants to give up the position of the youngest and youngest."

After chatting at home, after dinner, the sons went to bed on time.

Philadelphia doesn't have to incubate eggs at night, sitting on the sofa and reading a book. The name on the cover is "Basics of Screenwriting Writing"-he is learning to write scripts recently, and his goal is to have Nan Huailin starring in the movie he wrote.

Nan Huailin lay on the sofa with Philadelphia's leg, and watched a movie with his iPad. Observation is a very good way to learn. Seeing the wonderful performances of those famous actors in film history will greatly help improve acting skills. So Nan Huailin made a list of 100 excellent Chinese and foreign movies, some of which have not been watched, and some have been watched many times. Like the "Taxi Driver" I watched today, it is probably the fifth time. Now, when he was young, Robert De Niro was really evil and mad, it can be said to be very charming.

Philadelphia held a book in one hand, and casually entangled Nan Huailin's hair to play with.

Nan Huailin suddenly put down his iPad, looked at Philadelphia and said, "My husband, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem."

Philadelphia looked down at him: "What?"

Nan Huailin said: "Hair loss will be hereditary. My dad started to lose his head when he was 30 years old, and I might start to be bald in a few years."

Philadelphia laughed and said, "Don't worry, with the nourishment of dragon essence, you can't be bald if you want to be bald."

Nan Huailin is dubious: "Can Longjing cure hair loss?"

Philadelphia said: "Long hair depends on whether the kidney qi is full or not. Dragon essence is a good kidney tonifying product, so you won't be bald, don't think about it."

As it sounded reasonable, Nan Huai Lin believed and started watching the movie again.

After a short while, Philadelphia put down the book and said, "I can't get in if you interrupt me."

Nan Huailin laughed at him: "You still blame me for your own inconsistency."

Philadelphia took out the iPad in Nan Huailin's hand and put it aside, then he hugged him and walked towards the bedroom: "Do you still want thick hair, eh?"

Nan Huai Lin endured a smile and said, "Yes."

Philadelphia bowed his head and kissed him: "Why don't you beg for irrigation?"

Nan Huailin shook his head: "I don't think I will be bald for a while."

Philadelphia put him on the bed, and then the whole person pressed up, put one hand on Nan Huailin's forehead, stroked his bangs back, and said, "Look, your hairline has moved back." The trend is up."

"Liar," Nan Huailin quickly took his hand away, "I don't believe it."

Philadelphia lay down on him and laughed for a while, stretched out his loose T-shirt, exposing his white shoulders, and started kissing along the beautiful collarbone.

Nan Huailin put his hand into his hair and pulled it gently, and said in a low voice, "I am habitually nervous as soon as I do it."

Philadelphia asked vaguely: "What's the nervousness?"

Nan Huailin said: "I'm afraid of getting pregnant."

Philadelphia kissed him on the neck, looked up at him and said, "When you had your first and second children, you had a fever about three days after we mate. We haven't had a day off this month, but you still have a fever until now. Not having a fever. This fully shows that the first two consecutive pregnancies are only accidental occurrences of a small probability. Therefore, the chance of you being pregnant with a third child in a short period of time is very small."

Nan Huailin said solemnly: "Mr. Fei, please don't set up the Flag indiscriminately, okay?"

Philadelphia smiled and said, "Anyway, don't worry about it, enjoy it, OK?"

Nan Huailin nodded: "OK."

Philadelphia continued the kiss, and Nan Huailin relaxed after being persuaded, and began to respond enthusiastically.

After kissing for a long time, both of them are ready to go, and Philadelphia muttered: "Baby, shall we try new tricks today?"

Nan Huailin's ears were red, and asked weakly, "What?"

Philadelphia said: "Play, dare you?"

Nanhuai Lin's heart jumped: "You mean, you become a dragon?"

Philadelphia said with an "um": "Is it really exciting to think about it?"

Stimulus is stimulus, but... Nan Huailin hesitated: "It's too big, isn't it? I'm afraid of pain..."

Philadelphia coaxed him: "Let's try, let's not get in."

Nan Huailin struggled for a while, and finally nodded gently.

The result of "trying" was that Nan Huailin didn't say a word to Philadelphia all day the next day, and it was useless to coax him.

·

Another three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Philadelphia has hatched its eggs for four months, and both Dragon Six and Dragon Seven have undergone significant changes.

"Look," Philadelphia said, pointing to the dragon egg that just came out of his stomach, "has the egg shell become a bit transparent?"

Nan Huailin stared at Dragon Qi, the egg shell was indeed much brighter than at the beginning, and the inside of the egg was faintly visible. He was suddenly excited: "Long Qi seemed to have moved just now!"

Philadelphia smiled and said, "I didn't see it clearly."

Nan Huailin suddenly sighed again, looked at Long Wu next to Long Qi, and said anxiously, "But, why has Long Wu still not changed at all? Will it..."

"No," Philadelphia interrupted him gently, "it will come out, but only later, don't think about it."

Nan Huailin smiled reluctantly.

Philadelphia said: "The Spring Festival is one week away. My brother said he will come to celebrate the New Year with us. Then let him see Dragon Five again."

Nan Huailin nodded, and suddenly remembered Lancelot: "It's been a long time since Xiao Lan has heard of him, and I don't know if he is still in Beijing and how he is doing recently."

Philadelphia smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, Xiaolan is very strong, he will definitely live well."

On New Year’s Eve, Fei Zheng came to the Undersea City with Ruan Xin.

Ruan Xin's reality was too unexpected, but Philadelphia was just stunned, so he smiled and shouted: "Sister-in-law!"

Ruan Xin smiled, did not agree, but did not refute.

Nan Huailin knew that Fei Zheng and Ruan Xin were finally together.

Although this is the result he is happy to see, he feels uncomfortable when he thinks of Xiaolan.

Without a sip of the water, Philadelphia took Fei Zheng to see Dragon Five. Fei Zheng's answer was: "It's good, wait a minute."

Nan Huailin felt a little relieved, but if Long Wu didn't break his shell a day, he couldn't really feel at ease.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Ruan Xin asked Nan Huailin to take him out for a walk.

Their home is on the edge of the "city wall", and Nan Huai Lin leads Ruan Xin along the "coastal avenue" to admire the colorful underwater world.

"It's so beautiful here," Ruan Xin sighed, "Like a huge aquarium."

Nan Huailin said: "I take my children on this road every day, and I took tens of thousands of photos."

Ruan Xin said: "The babies are very cute, you and Philadelphia raised them very well."

Nan Huailin smiled: "How are you? You seem to be a lot thinner than before."

Ruan Xin said: "I fell ill a while ago, but now he has recovered."

Nan Huailin was taken aback: "Is it serious?"

Ruan Xin said lightly: "After getting through it, I feel okay."

Nan Huailin didn't ask much politely, but he could probably catch some clues from his memories.

Ruan Xin's illness should have started in April last year, and has been sick for a long time, otherwise he would not have been so thin until now.

Moreover, it should be this serious illness that catalyzed the relationship between Ruan Xin and Fei Zheng. Fei Zheng had a lover who died of illness before, and when the same situation reappeared, he must have had a painful decision.

"What are you thinking about?" Ruan Xin asked.

"Nothing." Nan Huailin returned to his senses and smiled at him.

The underwater city is round, and the two people walked a huge circle around the "coastal avenue" and returned to the original point.

Ruan Xin should be tired. When he got home and sat on the sofa, he couldn't get up. Fei Zheng silently carried him back to the bedroom.

Nan Huailin bent down to hug Dragon Si and asked Philadelphia, "What did you talk about with your brother?"

Philadelphia drove the sons to the room like ducks, and said with a smile: "My brother said he is going to marry Ruan Xin, and the wedding date is set for May, so that we can also attend the wedding."

Nan Huailin smiled and said, "It's really great."

Philadelphia let out a sigh of relief: "Daughter-in-law, why do I feel so relieved? It's like... the feeling that a son who is having trouble getting married suddenly has a daughter-in-law, do you understand?"

Nan Huailin laughed: "Let your brother hear that you must be beaten."

Putting the sons into the crib, Long Yi Long Er all fell asleep, but Long San Long Si had to coax, and the husband and wife held one and patted gently.

Philadelphia lowered his voice and said, "By the way, my brother finally got the children's names." As he said, he freed a hand and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to Nan Huailin, "Look. I'm not satisfied with it."

On the paper is a strong pen writing with a string of names written on it.

Long Yifeiqi

Long Er Feixun

Long San Fei Lun

Long Si Fean

Long Wu Fei Xi

Nan Huailin smiled and said, "I like each one very much."

Philadelphia said: "Fei Xi can use it regardless of boys or girls."

Nan Huailin kissed the Dragon Si lightly: "Son, you finally have a serious name. Are you happy?"

Long Si hummed, Nan Huailin and Philadelphia looked at each other and smiled, and concentrated on coaxing their son to sleep.

On the first day of the new year, Fei Zheng and Philadelphia took Ruan Xin and Nan Huai Lin to Longxu to worship their parents.

After staying for another day, Fei Zheng and Ruan Xin left the Undersea City in the third year of the junior high school. They had too much work to do.

And on the night they left, Long Wu, who had been in the dragon egg for nearly a year, broke out of its shell without warning.

After Nan Huailin coaxed his sons to sleep, when he returned to the bedroom, he vaguely heard a sound in the room specially used for incubating eggs in Philadelphia.

He quickly walked over, opened the door to take a look, and was stunned.

On the floor of the room, a little dragon the size of a sparrow was walking slowly against a piece of eggshell. When it saw Nanhuailin, it tweeted and ran towards him while flapping its wings. He stopped the car and hit Nan Huailin's ankle with one head. After two steps back, he fell and squatted, and the eggshell on his head also fell off.

Nan Huailin witnessed all this, but stood stupidly not daring to move. He trembled and shouted, "Philadelphia! Come on!"

Hearing the sound, Philadelphia hurriedly came out of the bedroom: "What's the matter with my daughter-in-law?"

Nan Huailin pointed to the little dragon who couldn't get up after squatting on the ground and said, "You, look."

"Fuck!" Philadelphia ran over quickly, squatted to the ground, and carefully put the little dragon struggling to stand up into his palm, held it in front of Nan Huailin, and said excitedly: "Daughter-in-law, Our little five... finally, finally came out!"

Nan Huailin stared at the little dragon in Philadelphia's palm, with surprise and disbelief in his eyes, as well as tears that he held back.

"But," Philadelphia also stared at the dragon, "Why are its wings red? Could it be a genetic mutation?"

Nanhuai Linne said: "Moreover, it doesn't have dragon horns."

Philadelphia only noticed that there really were no horns on the top of the little dragon's head curled in his palm. He was instantly ecstatic: "Because it is the little dragon girl! The little dragon girl does not have horns!"

The little dragon girl, who had just broken her shell, had red wings, no horns on her head, was helpless and poor, was frightened and cried by her father’s voice. Her tears fell on the palm of Philadelphia’s palm, condensed into beads, but not transparent, but With a little bit of red.

Nan Huailin cried and laughed.

At this moment, the two fathers were immersed in the huge touch and surprise of Dragon Five finally breaking the shell and Xide Dragon Girl. No one had the mind to think about why this belated little dragon girl was so different.

Perhaps they will not think about this issue in the future.

Or maybe they thought about it but couldn't get the answer.

In this world, many things cannot be answered, and we can only wait for the day when the answer emerges by itself.
