My wife is a dragon

Originally, Xia Li planned to spend an afternoon to save up some manuscripts. He was going to spend the next two days with Lucia.

He and Lucia had lived together as a couple for so long, but they had never had a proper date.

Even if Lucia didn't have the same needs as human girls, Xia Li, as a man, should do something.

He had made plans. He would take Lucia out to play after saving up two more chapters.

After all, he had a car now, which made it convenient to travel far.

As a result, after all the trouble today, he didn't write a single word, and spent all his time touching the dragon.

Xia Li took a long time to coax the evil dragon.

He was afraid that the evil dragon would think he was a bad guy and stay away from him from then on.

He explained that the lie just now was not a lie. It was a common trick used by human men to treat women they liked.

Just like the birds in nature would court, the way humans court is more complicated...

Lucia thought about it for a while and found that it made sense.

So she stopped accusing Xia Li of her crime and went to the kitchen with a red face to make dinner for Xia Li.

Xia Li pulled her back. Today was Thursday, and she would let Lucia eat fried chicken and hamburgers with her.

Lucia said, "Food outside is not as healthy as food at home." But when the takeaway arrived, she was so delicious that she only had to chew the chicken bones and swallowed them together.

"Is it delicious?"

"Yes, it's delicious."

This kind of food that coaxes children can also coax dragons.

Lucia licked her fingers clean, and her full face was particularly relaxed.

"This is the purpose of making money," Xia Li said, knocking on the empty box.

"The money that humans earn in this society is always used for two purposes - the first is to survive, and the second is to please oneself. The latter often accounts for a large proportion.

It is actually very difficult to starve to death in today's society. Five yuan of noodles can last for a week, and at worst, you can survive by searching the trash or begging. The efforts we make in this society are basically to please ourselves."

"Oh..."

Lucia understood a general idea.

The food bought with money is indeed better than the food made at home.

Apart from the quantity and cost-effectiveness, at least Lucia felt the satisfaction brought by eating these foods.

"How much is this bucket?" she asked.

"There is an event today, fifty yuan, it should be more expensive at other times."

"Fifty..."

Lucia counted on her fingers and began to use her unique unit of measurement - fried baba to evaluate the value of this meal.

"The money for fifty fried baba." Xia Li helped her calculate the answer.

"Fifty!" The dragon screamed.

"Well, because we have a big appetite, I ordered three buckets."

"That's too expensive!"

"One hundred and fifty yuan is fine for a meal occasionally," Xia Li said, "In this society, money will become less and less valuable if you keep it in your pocket. Five yuan ten years ago could buy five kilograms of rice, but now five yuan can only buy two kilograms. This is depreciation."

"So we should spend our money in the future. There is no need to save on living expenses. These expenses are just needs for us."

Xia Li has been imparting human values ​​to Lucia before, and now he should tell her the values ​​of this society.

He was afraid that the evil dragon would be too frugal and live a hard life with him at home every day.

It's okay to wrong him, because he has lived a hard life of eating a box of instant noodles for a week.

But it's not okay to wrong his girlfriend.

"But... we can't make money now."

Lucia lowered her head and fiddled with the chicken bones on the table, thinking.

After understanding the importance of money to modern life, Lucia felt more and more sense of crisis.

It is very difficult for a dragon that has lost its power to find a place in human society.

Lucia knows that with her current ability, it is almost impossible to find a job that suits her in society, and she can't make money.

So, even if it is just the money for a hot pot rabbit meal, she wants to save as much as possible.

This idea is strange.

When she was a dragon before, she didn't care about what to eat or what to do, but now she has become cautious.

Lucia carefully analyzed the root cause of this idea...

She wants to live with Xia Li for a longer time.

"Hasn't that record started to make money?"

Xia Li knocked on the table to wake up the evil dragon whose thoughts were wandering.

"Besides, didn't I say that I would go out to find a job."

"What about me?" asked the evil dragon.

"You? How long have you been on Earth? Get familiar with life here first, and it won't be too late to make a decision after you find something you like to do."

"I'll just eat white rice at home?"

Lucia raised her face, which was still covered with ketchup, and asked blankly.

Xia Li laughed, "What's wrong with eating white rice? I'm happy to eat my rice."

"..."Lucia choked.

The hero said not long ago that he would let her be self-reliant, and if she didn't work, she could go out and be a wandering dragon... Why did he change his mind now?

Is this also a sign of love?

"Okay, okay, just put your heart in your stomach. If you have any difficulties, I hope you can rely on me instead of thinking about it alone."

Xia Li stood up to clean up the garbage on the table.

Lucia's values ​​are not yet formed. It is actually very simple to correct the inherent hoarding behavior of the dragon race. Just let her enjoy the happiness brought by consumption.

"Let's go out and digest the food."

After packing up all the garbage and taking it with him, Xia Li took the car keys and waved them in front of Lucia.

The car is already in hand, how can I not drive it for a few more days.

Lucia didn't say much, and followed Xia Li as usual.

"Just got off work, Aunt Zhao."

In the corridor, Zhao Qin, a neighbor on the second floor, was looking for keys in her bag. When she heard Xia Li's greeting, she smiled and turned back.

"Yes, the store is not busy today, so I got off work early. Have you eaten? There is food at home. How about coming to my house for a meal?"

"We have eaten, and we are going to go shopping."

"Okay, drive slowly."

Rejecting the neighbor's kindness, Xia Li took Lucia's little hand and went downstairs.

It was still bright outside. In Shu Province, the sun usually sets at 8pm.

The sun was red at this time, and the scorching sun hung in the sky.

"Just now I greeted my neighbor. You should follow my way of addressing him. This is the basic etiquette between humans." Xia Li said as he walked.

Lucia listened carefully and thought, "Etiquette... What about Zhou Anqi and the others?"

"It doesn't matter between friends. You can address them casually or not. It's mainly for elders... Especially my parents. When you see them in the future, you should also greet them like this. This way you can show that you are a polite person."

"Oh..."

Lucia silently noted the key points.

After all, it is about the parents of the hero, and this is still very important to her.

"Also, you should greet me occasionally," Xia Li gave an example, "For example, when you wake up in the morning, say 'good morning' to me, and before you close your eyes at night, say 'good night' to me, and it's best if you crawl to my bedside and say it in my ear."

"..."

Lucia thought about it carefully, and felt that her relationship with Xia Li was not so unfamiliar that she needed to greet me like this, right?

"What's the benefit of saying it?"

"If you say it, I will be launched like a rocket."

"...Hmm?"

"It would be even better if these good mornings and good nights could be given a prefix." Xia Li asked.

"What prefix?" Lucia asked.

How could the evil dragon understand human names and titles?

She only knew the two common relationships of 'friends' and 'parents', and at most added 'lover', and her mind would be confused if she added more.

"A question for you."

Xia Li did not answer. When Lucia heard that he was going to give her a question, she immediately became energetic.

"What's the question?"

"I see you've been learning the name list for interpersonal relationships recently... Based on my current relationship with you, if our relationship gets better and more sublimated, what should you call me?"

Lucia was confused by this complicated question for a moment, and answered after a while.

"Boyfriend...?"

"What about above boyfriend?"

"I don't know..."

"Remind you, use the word 'old' to form a word."

Xia Li came to the front of the car and stood still.

He was looking forward to Lucia giving a correct answer.

The evil dragon had a silent face.

It can be seen that she was really thinking hard.

After half a minute of silence, Lucia gave an uncertain answer.

"Old... old thing?"
