My wife is a dragon

Chapter 189 Wow~~ (4.4K)

In the evening, the setting sun burned out in the sky, and the lights were lit in every house.

Fang Xia served the last dish, and a table of rich home-cooked dishes was ready.

For families separated by distance, the New Year is a reunion after a long separation, and it is the most anticipated day of the year.

But for a family like Xia Li, who is more than 100 kilometers apart and can meet at any time, the New Year is just a grand family dinner.

Lucia took her bowl and began to eat heartily. Fang Xia kept picking up dishes for her. Seeing her eat so deliciously, her face was full of satisfaction.

Old Xia lowered his head and ate the dishes without saying a word.

He secretly observed Lucia's frugal attitude of treating every grain of rice as a treasure, and couldn't help but sigh at how bumpy the fate of this child was.

"Dad, drink."

Xia Li opened the white wine prepared in advance at home and mixed a glass for himself and Old Xia.

The older generation doesn't like to drink beer. They say beer is a foreign thing. Only white wine is brewed from grains and is reliable.

Xia Li always drinks beer with his peers, and drinks white wine with his elders. He switches easily.

Although he doesn't like either of them very much.

Xia Yuanjun ate food, glanced at the small wine glass beside him, and then looked at Fang Xia's eyes.

Fang Xia didn't give any instructions, and seemed not to notice this. Seeing this, Xia Yuanjun's expressionless face was secretly happy, and he took the wine bottle that Xia Li put on the table to take a look.

"Luzhou Laojiao, our own provincial production." Xia Li said in a low voice.

Old Xia nodded and recognized his son's taste.

...

The New Year's Eve dinner was coming to an end.

Originally, Fang Xia planned to let Xia Li eat three days of portions, and it was estimated that Lucia would make trouble in two more meals.

She is not picky about food. She will eat anything except houttuynia. After eating, she will say "thank you auntie" in a soft and sticky voice, which makes Fang Xia's heart melt.

"This soup can be used to cook noodles tomorrow."

Lucia was cleaning the dishes on the table, holding a plate of braised pork ribs, and she was reluctant to throw away the soup.

The highest praise of Shu people for a dish: don't throw away the soup, save it for cooking noodles.

This dragon has learned the essence of Shu.

"There are chicken soup and sour duck soup here, the base soup of braised pork ribs is too thick..."

"You can cook noodles with different flavors!"

Fang Xia wanted to persuade her, but the girl's way of speaking was so frank and cute that it really made Fang Xia laugh.

"Mom, Xiaolu is praising your cooking for being delicious." Xia Li squeaked at the other end.

Fang Xia blushed: "Oh, I know, haha..."

"Don't clean up, the Spring Festival Gala is about to start." Xia Yuanjun urged with the remote control.

Fang Xia looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock. She wiped her hands and took off her apron, and took Lucia to the TV.

Lucia was still wearing a pink polka dot apron, holding a soup spoon in her hand, and came to Xia Li in a daze.

Xia Li saw her confused look and couldn't help laughing.

"Come here, sit here."

The sofa at home was not big enough, and sitting three people was already the limit. Xia Li patted his legs and asked Lucia to sit over.

Lucia was a little shy.

After all, riding the hero in front of the hero's parents... It's not good.

She turned around and sat on the small stool. This stool was bought by Xia Li when she used it to learn Chinese characters.

This height is just right for her short legs.

"What are you holding the spoon for? Put it away and don't wear the apron."

"Oh oh."

Lucia unloaded the things in a daze.

There were no characters on the TV, only a clock spinning. As the pointer reached the end, the bell rang.

Then, the festive scene gushed out like a can of Coke.

Lucia was stunned, and the red screen light shone on her face.

"The countdown to zero o'clock will be the highlight...but we can't watch it."

Xia Li squatted beside Lucia without anyone noticing. Lucia didn't hear his movement and was startled.

"Can't watch it?"

"Well, southerners rarely watch the Spring Festival Gala...especially the full version of the Spring Festival Gala." Xia Li smiled.

Lucia didn't understand this sentence at first, but she soon understood it.

"Hello? Xiaoqin, I'm at home... Three people need one? Great, haha, I'll come right over."

Fang Xia's phone rang before the host had finished his opening remarks at the Spring Festival Gala.

The biggest entertainment activity during the Spring Festival... playing mahjong.

For a middle-aged woman like Fang Xia, the Spring Festival Gala and the New Year's Eve dinner are mainly just formalities, just for show.

"Son, your Aunt Zhao..."

"Go quickly."

When Xia Li waved her hand, Fang Xia had already come to the entrance to change her shoes.

Before leaving, Fang Xia called Lao Xia along.

Lao Xia had no interest in playing mahjong, but then he thought that it was not a good idea for him to stay at home, so the couple turned around and left.

The room instantly became quiet, with only the pictures jumping on the TV.

"How do you feel?"

Xia Li turned down the volume of the TV and turned off two lights at home.

Hearing the sound of the lights being turned off, Lucia shrank her shoulders. The girl's face was a little confused and ignorant. More importantly, after her vision dimmed, the dim and charming atmosphere made her feel nervous.

"Hmm?"

"New Year, the human New Year, how is it?"

"Not bad... not as grand as I imagined?"

Lucia organized her words.

In her memory, she had seen the most solemn ceremony of humans, pure gold carriages, knights holding mithril swords, flying petals, and gorgeous magic... It was a feast both visually and auditorily.

In contrast, sitting on a small bench like this and watching the characters on TV jumping around seemed too plain.

It was plain, but this feeling was warm and made Long feel comfortable.

There would be no archers looking at her from a distance, and no knights with swords staring at her. Here, she was safe and could fall asleep at any time.

"Are you sleepy?"

"Hmm..."

"Go to bed, you are a dragon, you don't need to stay up all night."

Xia Li saw Lucia's head drooping like a chick pecking at rice, so he picked her up.

The girl in his arms was warm and soft, her cheek buried in his neck, like a spoiled kitten.

Lucia ate too much today, and it takes a lot of energy to digest food. Her nature of sleeping after eating made her doze off.

Squinting her eyes, Lucia caught a glimpse of the brilliant light flashing outside the window.

Magic...

No.

There is no magic in this world, the light shining outside is something else.

"Flowers..."

"What?" Xia Li paused.

Lucia's sleepiness was gradually replaced by some interest, and her eyes were clear and bright in the dim light.

"Fireworks..." she muttered softly.

Xia Li: "..."

She was so sleepy that she was like a dragon, and she was still thinking about this?

But there was no way, Xia Li had promised her in advance after all.

"It's dark now and it's cold outside. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Sure and for sure!" Lucia was completely excited.

Xia Li had no choice but to go to the balcony to take a bag of fireworks he had bought, wrap a thick red scarf around Lucia, and add a brown beret with bear ears to her before taking her out.

Lucia pulled the bear ears on her head and scratched her collar.

Xia Li wrapped her too tightly, which greatly restricted her range of movement, and she couldn't even run.

"I don't want to wear it..."

Lucia followed Xia Li with a grunt.

"This is the 'dragon limiter'. If you don't wear it, you will be recognized by humans." Xia Li turned around and said.

Lucia: "..."

Lucia pouted her lips and knew that Xia Li was lying to her.

What 'dragon limiter'? It was obvious that he was afraid that she would let go, so he deliberately wrapped her like a candied haws, so that she wouldn't run away.

The two came to the lake with a bag of fireworks.

There are many young people setting off fireworks here, mostly in groups of three or five friends, and rarely two sneaky couples appear.

The first morning Lucia came to Earth was by this lake.

She remembered very clearly that the weather was very good that day, and the temperature was not that cold. Xia Li wore thin clothes and took her to see the reflection in the water.

The morning sun that day was reflected on the water, and was blown to pieces by the wind. Lucia looked at her human form in the water and couldn't help wondering again and again whether she would live in this form for the rest of her life.

Lucia walked to the lake on tiptoe.

The height of the handrail of the fence was just in front of her chest. She lay on the handrail. Now there was no sun, and her reflection in the water would show different colors with the gorgeous fireworks around.

Now, let her ask again, whether she would live like this for the rest of her life... her answer to herself was 'yes'.

"It's broken, there is no lighter."

Xia Li touched himself. He didn't smoke, and basically didn't carry such things with him.

The only lighter in the house was used to light candles in case of power outages.

Grabbing a firework tube and standing up, Xia Li suddenly thought of something and grabbed the dragon's claws.

"Fire." Xia Li said.

The dragon's face paused, as if she was doing something sneaky. She looked around at the humans around her, and then shrank her neck into her scarf.

"But, they are all people..."

If she is seen, she will have to step on the sewing machine!

What Xia Li didn't tell her was that if she was seen doing magic, it would be more than just stepping on the sewing machine.

Maybe she would be sliced directly.

"It's so dark at night, no one will see it."

What surprised Lucia was that Xia Li, who had never allowed her to use magic, actually said such words on his own initiative.

Xia Li must have been sure, and he thought she was looking forward to setting off fireworks, so he agreed to use magic...

Pursing her lips, the golden brown eyes in the dark lit up, staring straight at the fuse of the fireworks.

Lucia took a quick glance and quietly raised her middle finger...

"Light it up with your index finger!"

"Oh..."

Xia Li raised his hand and held Lucia's right hand, leaving the center empty, looking like he was blocking the wind to prevent the lighter from being blown out.

With a "whoosh", the fire lit up, and the flames danced on Lucia's fingertips.

This flame burns with Lucia's magic as the medium, and its color is darker than ordinary flames, closer to red.

Using dragon flame to light fireworks... It's really extravagant.

However, Xia Li always eats ambergris rice at home, so the appearance of dragon flame is not surprising.

Thinking of this, Xia Li smacked his lips, savoring something.

"It won't explode..."

Lucia set off fireworks for the first time. She had heard the banging sound for several days in a row. Seeing the human cubs having fun, she also wanted to play, and she had been itching for a long time.

But after getting this thing in her hands, she felt a little uneasy.

To her, fireworks are undoubtedly the magic of the earth. I heard that this thing is also related to war.

"If it explodes, I will cover my arms with dragon scales... and then conjure up a dragon head to hold you in my mouth."

"You..." Xia Li was choked by Lucia's serious words, "You have such a dangerous idea."

He smiled and gave Lucia a soft expression.

He understood that the evil dragon had such an idea.

But forget about holding him in one bite... a slicing behavior.

"Don't worry, this is a dud, it won't explode."

"Oh..."

As the fingertips moved, the ignition wire was ignited smoothly, and the faint sound lingering in the ears was like a new round of countdown.

"Swoosh-bang!"

The fireworks will still explode, but the explosion range is very far.

The sky and the lake surface simultaneously drew a perfect arc, and the "cannonball" in Lucia's hand rushed to the other side of the lake.

Xia Li saw this and helped her straighten the muzzle.

"Swoosh-"

The crisp and long whistle broke through the sky, and the sky bloomed with brilliant flames, and with it, there was a smile on Lucia's face.

Although I have seen such flames rising into the sky several times recently, it is another matter to set them off myself.

"'Gunpowder' is the earliest use of fireworks... Later, it was used by bad guys in the military, and it changed from romance to fear. In the distant land that we can't see, it has displaced countless people."

Xia Li paused and continued.

"This feeling is a bit like the magic on the Eze continent. The earliest magic was used to improve life. Later, it was used by humans to slaughter."

I said so much because I wanted to take this opportunity to tell Lucia that the same ability used in different places will have two results. This concept is exactly what the dragons who are not good at controlling their own power need to learn.

But he didn't know whether the dragon listened or not.

"Swish--"

As the last firework exploded, the barrel in Lucia's hand felt hot. She shook her hand and found that it had gone out.

It's only ten times, and it's not good enough!

She lit another one sideways. Lucia set off the cannon by the lake. Xia Li stood behind her and supported her while chanting.

Smelling the faint smell of white wine when the brave man spoke behind her head, and the noisy sound of cannons in her ears, Lucia's calm heart was beating with a throbbing.

"Swish--"

"Wow~~~~~"

This time the fireworks had no color, but pure white.

Lucia looked up, she liked this color, it reminded her of the color of her own dragon scales.

Xia Li kept muttering and stopped talking.

The dragon now couldn't listen at all.

Changing her concept is definitely not something that can be done with just a few words, and Lucia has changed a lot in less than three months since she came to Earth.

"Wow~~"

The dragon raised its head and pressed it against Xia Li's chest, and its bright eyes looked at the fireworks, full of desire.

"Wow, Xia Li, I want to eat."

"Don't want to put everything in your mouth..."

Gunpowder is not popular, otherwise you can eat me.

Xia Li looked at it dimly, and the dragon's sight fell on him from midair.

"Smelly nose." Lucia smelled the smell on Xia Li and wrinkled her nose.

"This is called wine aroma, white wine is much more fragrant than beer."

Xia Li pulled his collar to smell it. It didn't smell, he drank two taels.

"What are you doing..."

Looking down, she saw Lucia staring at her again. Even though the white fireworks were over, she had no intention of looking over.

"Do you want to kiss me?"
