My wife is a dragon

The sun was high in the sky.

It was a rare occasion for Xia Li to have a guest at home.

As they were neighbors, it was not uncommon for them to visit each other, but as they got older, they rarely stayed at their friends' homes.

Fu Yuan and Zhou Anqi both had dark circles under their eyes, probably because they hadn't slept all night. They dragged their tired bodies into the house, like zombies.

However, they looked very energetic, probably because they had reconciled after the quarrel.

Xia Li asked them to sit down. Lucia had never seen such a scene of friends visiting, and she was a little at a loss.

In her memory, the dragon's way of entertaining guests was very simple - treat the other party to a big meal.

So Lucia turned around and was about to go to the kitchen, but Xia Li reached out and pulled her back, asking her to accompany Zhou Anqi.

"Aren't you going to entertain them..." Lucia asked in a very low voice.

Xia Li pulled her and said, "I'll take care of this matter, you go to accompany Anqi."

"Oh..." The dragon nodded, so he had to turn back.

"Is this the kitten you and Brother Xia raised?"

The first thing Zhou Anqi saw when she entered the room was the cat litter box placed by the wall. She looked around and saw a sweet-looking calico cat nestling on the cat climbing frame.

After this period of time, Cotton's courage was tempered by Lucia. It was not afraid of the fear from blood suppression. When facing these strange two-legged animals, it even meowed to greet them.

Zhou Anqi squatted down to pet the cat. Girls are born to like this kind of furry little animal.

"So cute, what's its name?"

"It's called 'Cotton'."

"Cotton, haha... It sounds like your naming style."

The two girls over there quickly played together, and Xia Li brought a cup of hot tea and put it on the coffee table.

Fu Yuan sat awkwardly. Even if he put on shoe covers, he was afraid of dirtying the floor. His feet were trying to tiptoe.

"Drink some hot water."

Xia Li put the tea in front of him, and Fu Yuan came back to his senses and reached out to take it.

"Thank you..."

"Corn silk tea, it will reduce swelling." Xia Li said again.

Fu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched his eyes.

These eyes were indeed swollen.

Rubbing and rubbing, tears came out again.

"Boss... Anqi gave up postgraduate study..."

"Yeah, I heard it last night."

Fu Yuan said uneasily: "This is the dream she told me when she was in junior high school... Now she just gave up, whether it was for herself or her family..."

"What's the point of thinking about these things now?"

Fu Yuan was halfway through his words when Xia Li interrupted him.

He looked up at Xia Li, and saw a kind of perseverance in Xia Li's eyes that was not like the young people who had just entered the society.

"From now on, you have to do only one thing -

let her not regret her decision in the future."

"Can you do it?" Xia Li finished word by word.

These words were not only questioning Fu Yuan, but also Xia Li questioning himself.

...

Fu Yuan and Zhou Anqi came to Xia Li's house this time, mainly to explain the things between them.

This secret love that started in elementary school and lasted for ten years is actually not bloody at all, and there is no misunderstanding.

It's just that the two people pursue different lives.

The dreams they have, the differences in their families, and the expectations of their parents, all these things together have become "adult troubles," forming a gully that hinders their progress.

However, now Zhou Anqi has decided to cross this gully.

Although the feeling of liking someone will change, childhood dreams can also be easily erased by time.

It's not easy to become a scientist, doing experiments is not fun at all, and the life of drifting in Beijing far away from her hometown makes her feel suffocated.

She is just one of the countless people in society. Compared with dreams, what she wants to pursue now is her own life... and this ten-year love run, it's time to put a perfect end to it.

After these words, the result is very clear.

Xia Li was the boss among them, and Zhou Anqi felt that the withdrawal from the group was indeed a bit impulsive, so in order to give an explanation, she specially dragged Fu Yuan to her house today to make things clear.

Xia Li naturally supported their affairs.

As a young man, whose youth would not be full of passion a few times?

Seeing his good brother lost and regained in the love field, Xia Li was also happy for him.

However, when Xia Li asked if they were already in love, Zhou Anqi just turned his head away and snorted.

"It depends on his performance!"

"I will try my best."

Fu Yuan sat upright, and he was very serious when answering every question.

Zhou Anqi looked at his honest appearance and became anxious. She reached out and pulled his hand over to grab it, and Fu Yuan's face instantly turned red.

No...

Is the relationship between these two people reversed?

Who is flirting with whom?

"I also see your performance!"

The evil dragon beside Xia Li thought this was very appropriate, and followed Zhou Anqi to add a sentence.

Xia Li pulled the dragon's claws over and said, "Aren't we already together?"

Lucia shook her head: "Angie said that only when the boy confesses and the girl agrees, can they be considered 'together'."

"..."

In just a few minutes, what did Zhou Anqi teach his little dragon!

Xia Li reflected for a few seconds.

Did he go through this process?

It seems that he has gone through it, but he has never completed it.

Either he was led astray by Lucia's strange train of thought, or he came up with an ambiguous answer...

Reflecting on this, Xia Li found that he couldn't determine the current progress of his relationship with Lucia.

He thought he had successfully proposed marriage two hours ago, but now the dragon said, "I can decide whether we are together or not based on your performance"? ?

He was almost through the game here, but why did Lucia still feel like she was in the novice village!

Relationships are not like playing games, there is no progress bar, and most of the time you are confused.

But this situation is also normal.

Many people have reached the stage of marriage, but they are still not sure whether they really love each other.

The relationship between humans is like this, it cannot be defined.

"Come here."

Xia Li was so angry that he hugged the stinky dragon who wanted to send their relationship back to the novice village.

The dragon twisted and struggled, with a smile on his face.

"Hehe..."

Finally, he was successfully captured by Xia Li, and his little butt was forced to sit on Xia Li's legs.

Zhou Anqi glanced at Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan still sat very standard, motionless, but his face was a little redder than before.

This guy, there is no hope...

Xia Li felt that it was necessary to teach Yuanzi some experience in love, why is it like being in prison to fall in love.

Thinking of this, Xia Li couldn't help but think about himself and Lucia.

There was no reference around him before, but now with Anqi and Yuanzi, Xia Li has something to compare.

When it comes to love, he himself is also a half-baked one, let alone any experience. When it comes to love with Lucia, both of them are crossing the river by feeling the stones.

"Brother Xia, why are there so many books on your table?"

Zhou Anqi rarely comes to Xia Li's house as a guest, and has never come once since Xia Li moved back to live alone.

Unexpectedly, when sitting in this room again, he is no longer the little kid following Xia Li, and everyone has started to build their own families.

The small house was full of life. Zhou Anqi envied such a cohabitation life and couldn't help imagining her future with Fu Yuan.

She finally set her sights on the books on the table.

The pile of books made people think of the purgatory-like high school years.

Xia Li then stood up and simply tidied up the messy coffee table, and Lucia lent a hand.

"Oh, this... I plan to take the veterinary qualification certificate."

"Veterinary qualification certificate?" Fu Yuan and Zhou Anqi said in unison.

"Boss, I remember you graduated from Chinese Language and Literature..."

"Yes, there are not many jobs for my major, and I've been thinking about doing something else recently." Xia Li answered casually.

Zhou Anqi thought for a while and said, "Is it because Lu Mei likes it?"

"Yeah." Xia Li nodded.

You can guess this without thinking too much.

Now the only person who can make Xia Li take such action is Lucia.

Fu Yuan looked at the complicated study materials with a sharp gaze, and suddenly understood what Xia Li had just said to him.

Xia Li was proving with practical actions that he could do it.

…

After sending Yuanzi and Anqi away, Xia Li quickly cleaned the house one by one.

Usually, no one came to visit the house, and Xia Li didn't feel this way. Today, a friend came over, not to mention the poor hospitality, but even made Xia Li feel that his bad habits in life over the past 20 years were being peeped at.

All he could see were books and clothes placed everywhere, and the floor hadn't been mopped for several days, and there were still grains of cat litter on it.

Xia Li was cleaning up here, and Long next to him was doing odd jobs.

I thought Lucia would be in a hurry, but I didn't expect her to work more fluently than Xia Li himself. Xia Li held the mop and watched Lucia take the rag and wipe all the furniture in the house in an orderly manner.

"Anqi and Watermelon Head...are they a couple?"

Lucia wiped the TV cabinet and turned back to ask Xia Li.

She still found it strange, after all, a living example happened right in front of her.

Lucia didn't know how people were put together before, but after experiencing it herself and witnessing this process with her own eyes, Lucia had a new insight.

Two-way running?

That's probably what it means.

"I guess so," Xia Li put the mop into the mop pool to wash it, thought about it and said, "In fact, for them, the most difficult hurdle is their parents."

"Parents?"

Lucia was stunned for a moment, and quickly compared her current situation: "Then your parents..."

"My parents like you very much," Xia Li said, "but they are different. Their parents have planned different life trajectories for them. If they want to be together, they have to go against their parents' arrangements. This hurdle is the most difficult."

"Aren't humans all independent individuals? Why should we obey the arrangements of others?" Lucia didn't understand.

Xia Li tried to explain: "Everyone is independent... but, maybe they want to respond to the expectations of their elders. Most people don't want to disappoint their parents. This kind of thing is complicated to explain, and the situation of each family is different."

Lucia listened to this quietly.

She put the rag under the faucet to clean it. The faucet on the balcony did not connect to hot water. The icy cold water froze her little hands red, and her fingertips were like lotus buds pulled out of the ground, pink and tender.

Lucia didn't feel cold, wiped her hands, and continued to clean.

No wonder Xia Li always emphasizes the "freedom" of dragons in front of her. Xia Li said that there is no freedom to become a human being.

Thinking about it now, that's the truth.

There are so many things that humans want to take into account. This is a manifestation of greed.

But Lucia is different.

Even if Lucia becomes a human, she will not think about those things.

What dreams, money, society... Lucia doesn't think they are very important.

"What are you thinking?"

Xia Li suddenly reached out and pinched the dragon's soft face.

The evil dragon shook his head and muttered, "Humans are so complicated..."

Too complicated.

It's not like their dragon clan.

If you look at each other and ask for a partner, you can live in a nest.

As long as there is enough food and the climate is right, you can lay a dragon egg in the nest immediately... Where can there be so many messy things about humans?

"When did they..." Lucia thought for a while and said.

"Huh? Which one is that?" Xia Li knocked on the dragon head, "What are you thinking??"

"I mean, get married."

A moment of imperceptible rosy flashed across Lucia's face.

"Then I don't know." Xia Li shook her head.

The two were chatting together.

Taking advantage of this momentum, I cleaned the house inside and out.

There are a few more weeks to celebrate the New Year, and now doing hygiene is a farewell to the old and welcome the new.

The dust-stacked storage cabinet was wiped inside and outside, and Xia Li turned out a small household appliance that had been dusty for a long time from the innermost cabinet.

In addition to removing ash when I got the balcony, I found that it was still useful.

"Shu Province calls this thing Xiaoyang, it is a kind of heater used in winter."

As before, Shali introduced Lucia to the great invention of the human world.

As the switch was turned on, the resistor wire began to heat up, and the heat reflected back from the reflector, and the orange light shone on Lucia's face.

The strong light forced Lucia to close her eyes, and when she opened it again, there was a hint of surprise on her face.

"Do you want to say...'What a strong Holy Light Magic!', 'Xia Li actually used Holy Light Magic to sneak attack me, but fortunately I'm not a black dragon who fears Holy Light!'" Xia Li said in the lead.

Saying the evil dragon's words will leave the evil dragon with nothing to say.

However, Xia Li guessed the wrong direction this time.

Lucia leaned over and smelled it, then squatted down to look at the buttons on the machine.

"I'm wondering, is it very power-consuming?" Lucia said.

Xia Li: “…”

What a real dragon.

Since when has this middle-aged dragon been so integrated into modern life?

Now Xia Li seems to be second-rate now.

"Take it over with your hand, this holy light magic... This little sun is used to warm your body. Put your little hand that touches cold water and heat it up, otherwise you will have frostbite."

Xia Li put the dragon's small claws in front of the heater and roasted them to create a smell of detergent.
