My love game is too abstract

"I thought you liked it since you weren't saying anything," Yarrow said.

"Dragon Mom's—"

Ze Xia moved close to him, gritting her teeth, her face flushed, and pointed a finger at him:

"Don't, don't think that just because this Queen now likes—"

She opened her mouth, trying hard to say the word, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say it. In the end, she changed her words:

"Don't think that just because this Queen now acknowledges you, you can do whatever you want to this Queen. You, you better recognize your status as a servant! Do you hear me?"

"Then what's our relationship exactly?" Yarrow asked seriously.

Ze Xia was stunned for a moment, her small mouth opened, and finally, she gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and said softly:

"...You now... are, are this Queen's, this Queen's—"

She suddenly turned around and burrowed into the quilt, refusing to come out.

"Huh? What is it? You should say it!"

Yarrow stepped forward and pulled at the quilt.

"You, you, you detestable human, get away from this Queen!" Ze Xia's muffled voice came from inside the quilt.

"You dragon, you kissed me last night and now you don't want to take responsibility, huh!"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! This Queen doesn't want to listen!"

"Come out! Make yourself clear!"

"No!"

Ze Xia held onto the quilt tightly.

"Hmph, forget it." Yarrow let go of the quilt and glanced at her.

"If you're not going to say it, forget it. I'm leaving."

He turned to leave, but Ze Xia suddenly shouted from behind:

"Stop right there!"

He turned his head and saw the silver dragon with only her head sticking out of the quilt, her face as red as an apple, a pair of golden vertical pupils staring at him fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him:

"Come here," the silver dragon said softly.

Yarrow leaned closer.

Ze Xia raised her head and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

Feeling the moist, soft sensation on his cheek, Yarrow looked at the silver dragon in surprise.

"This Queen, this Queen did say that she would, would occasionally give you small rewards."

Saying such ambiguous words, Ze Xia's face still had a fierce expression.

Then she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips:

"Also, this Queen, this Queen doesn't know how humans, how humans interact, so, so don't expect too much."

"Just do that one again," Yarrow leaned in, but the silver dragon stretched out her hand and stopped him.

"Only this once!" Ze Xia glared at him.

Yarrow grabbed her hand and moved it away, asking expectantly:

"Then how often will this 'once' be refreshed?"

The silver dragon "hmm"ed, turned her face away, and said softly:

"One, one day, maybe."

Serena looked at the goddess bathing mural on the misty ceiling with a melancholy expression.

Beside her were Ji Xiaofei and Tao Hu playing in the water, and Lulu La was sitting by the pool, showering with bubbles all over her body.

Serena covered her face and sighed softly:

"To think... Ze Xia got ahead of me..."

Although there were many girls in this house, Ji Xiaofei was a child, Tao Hu and Yarrow were more like pure friends, Lulu La clearly had no interest in Yarrow, and Ze Xia was even more unlikely, a noble Dragon Queen who always harbored hatred for Yarrow.

Then in this house, wasn't she the only one left?

So she was never in a hurry, thinking that she could take her time and express her feelings sooner or later.

But how could it be...

Why did Ze Xia suddenly get ahead of her!

It was all because she was too shy. She could have spoken up the last time her parents came.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.

At this moment, Vinea's head slowly emerged from the water beside her.

"It's so comfortable... a hot bath," she said in a trembling voice.

"Vinea, can you still feel anything?" Serena asked in surprise.

"I can't feel anything, but I can rely on imagination. The feeling of being wrapped in hot water, a slight sense of floating..."

Vinea closed her eyes, revealing a longing expression.

"The memories from before I died are enough for me to use for hundreds of years."

For some reason, she felt a little pitiful.

The bathroom door opened, and Ze Xia walked in, her bare feet making a pattering sound on the tiled floor.

She walked to the shower area, turned on the faucet, and let the warm water soak her whole body.

"Pass me the soap," she said, turning her head to Lulu La, who was washing on the side.

Lulu La quickly and carefully handed over the soap dish.

"Thank you," the silver dragon said.

"Eh?" Lulu La opened her eyes wide and looked at her, as if she had seen the sun rising from the west.

After washing her body, Ze Xia entered the pool and sat next to Serena, raising one hand to lean back on the edge of the pool, and using the other hand to tidy up the silver hair behind her head.

Under the nourishment of the hot water, Ze Xia's milky white skin took on a layer of ruddy color, scattered with drops of crystal clear water droplets. At this time, her silver hair was wet and disheveled, sticking to her cheeks and body, bringing a touch of lazy beauty.

Coupled with her exquisite face, and the now hazy obscuration of the mist, Ze Xia at this time had already paled the goddess bathing mural on the ceiling.

How could such a girl with otherworldly beauty fall in love with Yarrow?

Serena thought to herself.

The silver dragon's golden vertical pupils glanced over, looking at Serena.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at this Queen?"

"Nothing..."

Serena quickly turned her head away.

After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but say, "Ze Xia, you... your relationship with Yarrow has gotten a lot better."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Ze Xia looked over.

"Because... I saw you kissing the other day..." Serena muttered softly.

She slightly raised her head and looked at the silver dragon, but saw the other party opening her mouth, staring blankly at herself.

"You, you saw it—"

Serena twitched the corner of her mouth: "I, I was standing right there at the time."

Ze Xia at this time lost the coldness she had just maintained, like a flustered child whose little secret had been discovered. After a few seconds of daze, she quickly pretended to cough twice.

"You, don't misunderstand, Serena. This Queen, this Queen was just punishing him at the time. It's not the kiss between lovers in your human understanding, it's not..."

"Punishment? Is there such a punishment in the Dragon Clan?" Serena asked in confusion.

"Haha, of course there is." Ze Xia chuckled twice and spread her hands: "There are many strange things in the Dragon Clan. Some things look strange when viewed from your human perspective, of course."

Serena blinked: "Uh... I, I thought you and Yarrow..."

"This Queen has nothing to do with him!" Ze Xia said very decisively.

What a joke, she didn't want anyone to know about her shameful relationship with Yarrow, no one!

"Is, is that so..." Serena laughed twice. "So it's a Dragon Clan punishment. That's my misunderstanding."

How could she misunderstand...

The silver dragon's thoughts were written all over her face. How could Serena, as a girl, not see it?

But...

She felt that Ze Xia's relationship with Yarrow might not have reached that point yet, and she didn't need to be so pessimistic.

Serena ignored Ze Xia, who was still muttering to herself, and clenched her fists in front of her chest.

"Cheer up, Serena! I can't lose!"
