My wife is a dragon

Chapter 185 Habit is a terrible thing (4.6K)

The day before New Year's Eve.

Xia Li's friends who went out to work all came back one after another.

Even Chen Tao's company, which he often complained about as a "black-hearted boss", had a New Year's holiday, and Monkey came back from a long way to reunite with his family.

The gang members of Building 3 of Shangdong Chaoyang Community gathered again - this was particularly precious for the few people who had quit the group before.

However, no one talked about the issue of quitting the group. There was no need to talk about this topic. It was enough to know that Yuanzi and Anqi were back to normal.

"No..."

Monkey hadn't come back for too long, and he looked at the people in front of him, a little out of shape.

"A traitor appeared among us?"

"To be precise, only the two of us didn't 'betray'."

Chen Tao nodded and patted Monkey's shoulder solemnly.

In front of the two, Xia Tou'er was holding Lucia's little hand, and Lucia was drinking milk tea. Yuanzi and Anqi stood together. Although they didn't hold hands, it was not difficult to see their relationship from their faces.

"You put it so euphemistically... Isn't it just a virgin solo?" Zhou Anqi smiled slyly.

"..." Chen Tao was choked and unable to refute.

We have been brothers and sisters for 20 years. If you don't say you will stick your neck out for your brother, at least don't stick your neck out for your brother.

Chen Tao wanted to cry but couldn't.

He turned his head to seek some comfort from Monkey, and found that Monkey was tapping on his phone.

"You won't become a traitor in the organization, will you?" He said suspiciously.

"No," Monkey waved his hand, "I came back in the past few days, and my mother arranged a blind date for me... I just started chatting, just dealing with it."

"..."

Chen Tao cried even louder now.

The group walked and stopped, chatting about some random things.

There was no purpose for this meeting, just a reunion after a long time, and a small gathering as usual.

The next day is New Year's Eve, and the next period of time will inevitably involve visiting relatives. It will be difficult to get together at that time.

After a lot of twists and turns, they came to the subway station. Several people discussed that since there was nowhere to go anyway, they might as well go to the city center for a walk.

Lucia did not participate in the opinions, but just followed silently.

She still has a psychological shadow on the subway.

She encountered a pickpocket when she took the subway last time. This time she was extra careful and protected Xia Li, fearing that Xia Li would be stolen by the pickpocket.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

After exiting the subway, there are rows of large shopping malls. No matter how many times she sees it, Lucia will be shocked by the high-rise buildings built by humans.

The humans in this world have no magic.

But the things they created with their own hands are like real magic.

"Lu sister, let's go grab dolls!"

Zhou Anqi was in high spirits. Now that she had Lucia, she quickly left her boyfriend aside and pulled Lucia to be attracted by the machines in the mall.

There is a large-scale video game arcade on the fourth floor of the mall. It is booming business at this time, and the seats are full.

"Claw dolls?"

Lucia has never been to such a place. She has only seen similar small games on the street stalls.

"Do you know how to claw dolls?"

"No."

"Hiss... Where has Brother Xia taken you? He has never taken you to the arcade?"

Zhou Anqi looked at Xia Li with dissatisfaction. Xia Li was walking with a boy, and suddenly a question stunned him.

"No, Xia Li took me to ride that kind of rocking car..."

Lucia explained for Xia Li and pointed to the racing cars in the arcade.

They are all rocking cars. There is no difference between racing cars and children's cars for Lucia.

"Puchi," Zhou Anqi smiled, "Okay, I'll go to exchange coins, you wait here for me."

The arcade is quite noisy, all kinds of young people are sitting in front of the machines, some calmly insert coins to be gamblers, and some hold guns and shout loudly.

Lucia was dazzled by what she saw, and soon she focused her attention on the boxing ring next to her.

Strength test, you can get a lot of lottery tickets by smashing the score with one punch.

"Don't go there."

Xia Li saw that Long was looking over there, and stopped her in time.

I'm afraid that Lucia's punch would not smash the score, but the machine.

The evil dragon nodded: "I just play the rocking car and that... doll."

Xia Li was ashamed.

Before, I clearly said that I would take Lucia to more places, date her, and let her broaden her horizons...

In the end, I only took Lucia to a few places.

However, there is a reason for this.

First, Xia Li and Lucia are homebodies, and Lucia is even more homebodies than him. If she can stay at home, she will definitely stay at home.

Second, Xia Li's daily study tasks and part-time jobs are very heavy.

In the past, writing his travelogue would take up most of his afternoon, and now he has to read and study endlessly, leaving him even less free time.

He was also glad that Xia Li’s girlfriend was Lucia…

If it were any other girl, she would have asked him questions: Why don’t you reply to messages? Why don’t you accompany me? Do you not love me anymore? ?

Lucia was led by Zhou Anqi to grab dolls, while Monkey and Taozi went to race cars nearby.

Xia Li had no interest in these things, so he found a row of chairs outside and sat down. From here, he could see Lucia, who was studying the doll-grabbing technique seriously in front of the machine.

“Boss…”

Fu Yuan was not interested in the video game city either, so he came over to sit with Xia Li.

"How is your current situation with An Qi?" Xia Li asked with some concern.

"I haven't told my parents yet..." Fu Yuan sighed and said, "An Qi just told her family about the New Year holiday, and she hasn't said about abandoning her research."

"When will you say it?"

"The day after tomorrow, I will visit Uncle Zhou's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

"You..." Xia Li stopped.

It really gives people a new look in the new year.

Isn’t this kid afraid of being swept him out by Zhou Anqi’s mother with a broom?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, not only did my daughter give up her studies, but her daughter even brought her boyfriend back.

The Zhou family must have not expected that they would be very careful about their daughters, but they did not do so.

"Forget it..." Xia Li shook his head and said, "It's good that you are brave enough. For you, the most lacking thing is courage."

Fu Yuan nodded and had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

"Haha... Sister Lu, I didn't expect you to be a master of catching dolls!"

Zhou Anqi's excitement voice came from not far away.

Xia Li frowned, staring at the picture over there.

There is a 360-degree camera area in the video game city, so what is this dragon doing?

Don't use another floating magic, just grab all the dolls for the boss.

"Boss...what do you have any secrets of love? Teach me, such as making girls happy."

Fu Yuan also looked at the claw machine over there, and his eyes softened a little when his eyes fell on Zhou Anqi.

"I really can't teach you in this regard," Xia Li replied.

"How do you usually coax your sister-in-law?" Fu Yuan was humbly studying.

"I don't usually coax her."

"What should I do if she gets angry?"

"It'll be fine if she gets angry for a while." Xia Li said.

If it doesn't work, it might be a step on him or a bite him.

In my memory, Lucia never played any tantrums.

So far, the biggest threat Lucia has posed to Xia Li is one sentence: I want to sue your mother!

"What about other aspects? How can I make her happy?" Fu Yuan asked again.

"…She was very happy that she was there herself."

"ah?"

Xia Li thought for a while and said, "Especially when she was allowed to eat."

Fu Yuan: “…”

Fu Yuan was completely confused now.

Forget it.

Everyone has different ways of falling in love. Zhou Anqi and Lucia have such a big difference in personality, so even if he learns, it will not be applicable.

But then again...

The boss's love process is so normal that it is a bit abnormal.

Other boys are sweating profusely when they fall in love, and their mentality is like riding a roller coaster every day. Why is he so relaxed?

"Well ..."

Fu Yuan was lowering his head and thinking, and heard Xia Li beside him with a little depressed sound of tongue, and then he slapped his thigh and stood up.

"Lucia!"

Xia Li walked towards the claw machine in the store.

Lucia was fiddling with the joystick and clamping a large turtle in a glass cabinet.

As expected, the big turtle was clipped up by a clip and threw it into the hole.

"sharp!"

Zhou Anqi cheered on the side.

This series of operations seemed to be smooth, but if you look closely, you will find that the clip of the doll was obviously loosened, and the big turtle on it actually delayed for half a second before it fell down.

After all, Zhou Anqi is an ordinary person, and her eyesight is not that good, so she can't find any clues.

But Xia Li is different.

"Green-haired turtle, hehe."

Lucia bent down and took out the doll from the lattice.

Suddenly, he felt a shadow covering him behind him. Lucia turned around mechanizedly and saw that the person behind him was a brave man, and the expression on her face became even more guilty.

Xia Li stared at her quietly.

That look seemed to be saying, 'You are not allowed to play anymore. ’

Lucia blinked her lively eyes, and that look seemed to be a way to admit her mistake or to please her.

"Brother Xia, Sister Lu is a genius in the doll clipping!"

Zhou Anqi raised a string of dolls in her hand and said excitedly.

"I've picked up ten of them... I've never seen such a lucky person in my life. This machine is just like recognizing her. As long as she picks up, she will hit every shot!"

Xia Li nodded slightly to respond to Zhou Anqi, but his eyes were still locked on the guilty little face of the dragon.

There is no need for Xia Lido to say anything. Lucia could tell from Zhou Anqi's language that she had done a bit too much.

If you continue to do it, you will definitely be suspected...

"I'll go play the rocker."

Lucia wiped the sweat from her hands and headed straight to the racing area on the other side.

Taozi and Monkey had just got out of the car and saw that the two girls were going to play, so they sat back and directly competed with the four blacks.

Lucia is a master of doll clipping, but she is definitely a rookie when driving.

The rocking chair she was sitting on before was just an idle steering wheel, without the accelerator and acceleration buttons.

All three competitors flew out, and she was still moving forward slowly, like a little turtle. In the end, Xia Li put her foot on the accelerator and the car drove completely.

Adult rocking chairs and children rocking chairs are different, and they are much more playable.

Although he achieved the first place (countdown), Lucia was the happiest of them.

"Xia Li, I can drive... I will drive you next time!" The evil dragon said confidently.

"You're just going wherever you are, it's far from it."

Xia Li took the stinky dragon into his hand.

Lucia was holding one hand with Zhou Anqi and the other hand with Xia Li.

After much hesitation, she decided to stick close to Xia Li.

Zhou Anqi was not disappointed and grabbed the idiot Fu Yuan on the other side.

"Lu sister, do you want to learn to drive? How about when the weather gets warmer, let's sign up for the same driving school." Zhou Anqi suggested.

Lucia didn't understand what driving school was and looked up to see what Xia Li meant.

"She... doesn't need it for now, let's talk about it later." Xia Li refused for Lucia.

They haven't even got their marriage certificate yet.

There's no rush for a driver's license.

...

This small gathering lasted until the afternoon and then disbanded.

Hou Zijie had to go deal with his blind date and retreated early. Seeing this, Chen Tao was unwilling to be sandwiched between two couples and also backed out.

The remaining four looked at each other and finally chose to go home.

After Xia Li got home, he started typing on the keyboard. Today's task was not completed yet.

Lucia wanted to come to the small dark room to talk to him several times, but seeing that he was so busy, she retreated again.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Li stopped what he was doing and called the sneaky dragon.

Lucia came over and put the big turtle she caught in the arcade in the morning in Xia Li's hand.

"What? I'm not angry."

Xia Li smiled helplessly.

Even Lucia is not stingy, so why should he, a grown man, be stingy.

He didn't let Lucia use magic outside because he was afraid that she would be discovered. Now their strength is too weak and they can't stand the tossing.

But grabbing dolls is okay. Even Zhou Anqi, who is closest to Lucia, can't see this little trick, and don't expect others to notice it.

"Here's the big turtle for you."

Lucia still wants to give the doll to Xia Li.

Xia Li frowned, "Why did you give me a green-haired turtle? Green is unlucky."

"I gave the others to Anqi. After all, she spent money to buy the game coins..." Evil Dragon explained.

Xia Li pursed her lips and reluctantly stuffed the turtle into the drawer and put it in the cold palace.

"By the way," Lucia felt in her pocket.

She was wearing the brown bear clothes she had changed into a few days ago. Winter coats are not often washed. If she doesn't get tired of it, it's normal to wash it once a week or two.

Lucia fumbled in her pocket with her little hand and took out two pieces of red paper and handed them to Xia Li.

"There are two hundred yuan."

"You want to buy me for another day?"

"No..."

Lucia shook her head.

Xia Li's face looked strange.

His sales of the hero are so poor, and Evil Dragon doesn't buy him even if he has money?

But think about it carefully.

Where did this dragon get the cash? ?

"Who gave it to you?"

"Wild." Lucia answered.

"What?"

"It suddenly came out of my pocket this morning, so it's wild." Lucia explained.

Xia Li was silent for a moment.

I've seen people lose money in their pockets, but I've never seen money grow in their pockets.

Who would put money in other people's pockets, Santa Claus?

Thinking of the word 'old man', Xia Li paused.

"Take it." He said.

"Hmm?"

"It can only be my grandma who gave it to you... She is not very good at communicating with people, especially when it comes to children of our generation, she is very restrained. I guess she was afraid that you would not accept it, so she quietly put it in your pocket."

"But I don't remember it at all..."

"Didn't you take off your coat for a while when you were eating? It should be at that time."

Xia Li's two words made Lucia's face darken.

Thinking back to the old man standing by the low wall and smiling at her goodbye, Lucia felt bad.

She could feel the loneliness.

"Thank you, grandma..." Lucia said across the air.

"What does grandma usually do when she's alone at home?" She asked sincerely.

"Maybe she watches TV... and then grows some green onions and coriander, yes, and also Houttuynia cordata, which is the fishy grass I gave you last time. She likes this kind of thing very much." Xia Li answered.

Lucia thought for a while and then said, "Why doesn't grandma live with other relatives, such as my aunt and aunt's house, so that she won't be lonely, right?"

"Your question..."

Xia Li was a little surprised that Lucia would think this far.

She was able to think about the problem from a human perspective, and she was very thoughtful.

"My mother and my aunt have done this. But the elderly like the place where they are used to living. My mother took her to the city, and she felt uncomfortable all over. She said that the city is big, but it is like a cage for her. It feels more cramped here than the bungalow in the countryside.

Everyone's lifestyle and rhythm are different. It is not a matter of one day or one night to change my grandmother's lifestyle. She is old and doesn't want to toss, so my mother let her do it."

Lucia rarely cares so much about a human being. Xia Li patiently said a lot.

After a few seconds, Lucia looked up and asked again.

"Will she be lonely?"

"Maybe," Xia Li said with a wry smile, "My grandfather left early, and she has become accustomed to this loneliness."

"Habit..."

Lucia fell into deep thought, muttering to herself.

Xia Li used to tell her that habit is a terrible thing.

She didn't think so at the time.

But now, she understands.
