My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 129 Brave man, save me!

On the road in Qingcheng City, a black car was pulling over to the side of the road at a slow speed.

There was a lot of traffic during the morning rush hour, and Qingcheng City was a notoriously congested city. Xia Li would step on the brakes every few meters, and the atmosphere in the car was indescribably tense.

It was the first time for the three of them to ride in Xia Li's car.

For these young people who have just entered society, the concept of cars has not yet been integrated into their lives.

"…I remember the last time Xia Tou drove me out to play."

Chen Tao was sitting in the back row, speaking with inspiration.

Fu Yuan beside him asked curiously, "When? Didn't the boss get his driver's license last year?"

"Last time, I was talking about bicycles, something from my childhood."

Chen Tao originally just wanted to stop there, but when he was about to say nothing more, he found that Lucia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and looked at him.

Under the gaze of those eyes full of curiosity, Chen Tao felt that "if I keep it a secret and don't tell her, I will be guilty of death."

This look is so pure...

It's so pure that it's impossible to refuse.

"When I was in primary school, Xia Touer took me out to play on his bicycle. At that time, there were not so many houses around. It only took about ten minutes to ride a bicycle to reach the ridge of the field."

Chen Tao recalled, "You will never guess why Xia Touer took me to the fields."

"What are you doing?" Zhou Anqi looked over curiously.

Chen Tao calmly said, "Fried cow dung."

"..."

The car was quiet for a while.

Chen Tao added: "He bought the firecrackers, but I blew up the cow dung. It exploded right after it was lit. I came home covered in shit and got beaten up by my mom."

"Hahahahaha!!"

It was the first time Zhou Anqi heard of such a thing, and she laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"You can't blame me for this. You said you wanted to have something exciting." Xia Li interjected, holding onto the steering wheel.

"...I said the most exciting thing is frying fish, not frying shit!!" Chen Tao roared.

Fu Yuan also laughed: "The boss has been brave since he was young. Sometimes he can't help but obey. Hahaha."

While waiting for the traffic light, Xia Li was about to turn around and say something back, but as soon as he turned sideways, he saw Xiao Longlong sitting in the passenger seat, laughing with his head down.

She kept her legs together, her hands resting on her knees in the standard sitting posture, her shoulders hunched, and her lips curved into a smile.

"When you laugh, you should open your lips." Xia Li leaned over and whispered to her.

Xia Li had seen Lucia laugh many times, but never seen her laugh out loud like that.

“…Hehehe?”

Lucia didn't know why her smile was wrong. She tried to open her lips and smile again.

When she smiles, the flesh on her cheeks bulges slightly, revealing a pair of cute little fangs.

Coupled with her amber eyes that were as bright as stars, Lucia's smile gave Xia Li a fatal sense of sweetness.

"It's not hehe." Xia Li corrected.

So Lucia changed her tone again: "Hehe~?"

"It's something like 'hahahaha...'"

Elong has a big problem managing her facial expressions. Even when Xia Li personally gave her examples, she still couldn't do it.

"Haha." Lucia laughed dryly twice.

The traffic light had already tripped, and Xia Li didn't dwell on the issue any more.

However, Zhou Anqi, who was sitting behind Lucia, hooked her finger.

"Sister Lu, come over here and I'll tell you the tricks."

"……Um?"

Lucia grabbed the seatbelt and leaned forward.

Zhou Anqi quickly reached out and pinched the itchy spots on her waist twice.

Lucia was ticklish and was twisted in her seat with laughter.

“Hehehe, hehe…Xia Li, save me!”

……

Outside the amusement park gate.

Today happens to be the weekend, and the amusement park hasn't opened yet, but the entrance is already full of people.

Dozens of long queues stretched from the ticket gate all the way down. The scale was so huge that at a glance there were probably nearly a thousand people.

"Let's go, let's get in line."

Zhou Anqi took Fu Yuan's arm and went to queue. Chen Tao next to them raised his eyebrows and thought, they are brothers and sisters, why is he left alone?
"You guys go line up, I'll go buy the tickets."

Xia Li did not rush to stand in the line, but pointed to the ticket office not far away and said.

"Who still buys paper tickets nowadays... Didn't you buy an electronic ticket? You can just scan your ID card and enter." Zhou Anqi asked puzzledly.

"No, I forgot to buy it."

Xia Li didn't stay for long, turned around and left, holding Lucia's hand.

"… The ticket will be issued immediately after placing the order on the mobile phone, so why do we need to buy a paper ticket?"

Zhou Anqi didn't understand, but seeing that Xia Li was so persistent, she didn't say anything more.

The ticket office of the amusement park was empty.

Apart from a few elderly people asking for advice, there was not a single young person around.

Electronic tickets have been popular for several years now. For ordinary citizens, it is naturally more convenient to buy tickets online.

When the staff in the ticket office saw such a young man coming over, they made a gesture and asked him to look at the signboard with the QR code for purchasing tickets.

"Two."

Xia Li completely ignored the QR code and took out his mobile phone to pay.

The ticket seller had no choice but to operate the computer to prepare to issue the ticket.

"ID card." The cold voice came from the loudspeaker.

Xia Li was stunned for a moment.

“Do you need an ID card for a paper ticket?”

"Yes, two tickets require two ID cards, and you can enter the park by face recognition."

"... Face recognition for admission? What's the point of paper tickets?"

"This is the regulation from above. It has been like this since the mask era in the past two years," the ticket seller said, then glanced at Lucia behind Xia Li and reminded her.

"It is recommended that couples buy tickets online, the price will be more favorable."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Xia Li took back the phone and returned to Lucia.

Lucia tilted her head. How could Xia Li be fine as he walked over there, but suddenly he became dejected in just one minute?

"I didn't buy the ticket." Xia Li sighed.

"Huh?" Lucia asked in confusion, "Today's tickets are sold out?"

"That's not the reason..."

Looking up at Lucia's innocent eyes, Xia Li felt even more depressed.

"I'll think of another way."

In order not to waste Chen Tao and the others' time, Xia Li sent a message in the group saying that there was no need to wait for him.

Qi: What's the matter? Don't you want to go in and take a look?
Taozi: I'm already here, why are you suddenly not coming in? !

Taozi: Damn, I get it, you guys are not going to go somewhere else for a date, are you?

Summer Dawn: It’s okay, you guys go and have fun first, I have something to do here.

After briefly explaining, Xia Li put the phone back into his pocket.

Lucia didn't understand what was going on, she just followed Xia Li quietly. Wherever Xia Li went, she followed.

The two walked around the line and came to the outside of the ticket gate.

Xia Li discovered that the way to enter the park here was really to scan your face.

Whether it is a paper ticket or an electronic ticket, identity verification is required.

After that special period ended, these major scenic spots all adopted the real-name system.

Not only scenic spots, but also long-distance bus places are implementing one person, one ticket. Because of the real-name system, the previous saying of scalpers purchasing on behalf of others has become a thing of the past.

This is indeed convenient for ordinary people...

But for Lucia, her living environment has undoubtedly been narrowed down.

“I may not be able to get in today.”

After learning this, Xia Li felt a little bad.

He walked around the outermost part of the amusement park. The tall iron railings and cameras hanging in the corners reminded him of the danger here at all times.

Xia Li subconsciously reached his hand behind his back, but then he remembered that he had placed the Demon-Exorcising Sword in a box on the balcony. He was no longer a brave warrior with a sword.

If there was any magic here... "Can't get in?"

Lucia stood in front of the dark iron bars, looking at the colorful world inside.

She looked up at Xia Li, and Xia Li thought she would look lonely or sad.

But the expression on the dragon's face was very calm, as if he wasn't disappointed at all.

It was obvious that this guy had been very excited since last night. He changed his clothes early this morning and was excitedly waiting for Xia Li to set off together.

"Hmm..." Xia Li nodded.

For fear of making the dragon even sadder, he softened his voice.

Lucia blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly.

"Then let's play outside!"

"…What's fun out there?"

"When you parked the car just now, I saw a lot of fun things!"

Lucia was still in high spirits and didn't seem depressed at all because she couldn't enter the amusement park.

In my ears, the first train of the roller coaster has started.

As the countdown bell rang, the high and low screams of humans filled the entire amusement park.

Lucia looked back, her eyes looking through the iron bars at the red and yellow metal tracks over there.

She was somewhat drawn into the fear and excitement on the human's face, and her beautiful amber eyes gradually widened.

"That's a roller coaster," said Xia Li.

"Roller coaster? Is it a car with wheels too?"

"This is not a car, it's just a form of entertainment... It allows people to experience the thrill of falling at high speed and turning sharply, and gain happiness in fear."

"Oh..." Lucia could imagine Xia Li's descriptions.

Isn’t this… when the dragons swoop down upon the earth!

"Is it as fast as a dragon?" Lucia asked excitedly again.

Xia Li glanced at the roller coaster in the distance and shook his head.

"A dragon can fall from a height of ten thousand meters. After retracting its wings, its falling speed is comparable to that of a meteorite. A roller coaster is still far inferior to you."

"Oh! That means I'm better!" Lucia smiled sweetly.

"..."

Xia Li couldn't laugh.

"Let's go~ Since we can't get in, let's just play around outside~"

Lucia didn't feel disappointed at all. She took Xia Li's hand and walked back.

Looking at the back of the evil dragon's head that was tied into a bun, the red bow on it made her look playful and cute.

Xia Li gently squeezed the hand held by the dragon's claw, and then controlled her in his own palm with his other hand.

Perhaps because she sensed that Xia Li was in a bad mood, Lucia did not resist this time, and the principle of 'dragon claws above' did not take effect.

"Oh." Xia Li sighed.

Now he should be the one to comfort Lucia, but he ended up being the one being taken care of.

The dragon's mentality is always so optimistic.

Let’s look at Xia Li himself.

Human sentimentality has caused him to lose a lot of happiness.

"what do you want to play?"

Xia Li was no longer depressed. Since Lucia had always had a positive attitude towards life, he should respond to her positively.

"There's a game of catching fish over there!"

Lucia's eyes were bright and she pulled Xia Li and walked quickly.

Many small-scale amusement projects have emerged outside the amusement park.

After all, the customer flow is here, and the tourists who come here are all for the purpose of "gaining happiness" and are willing to pay the money, so the business here is not as depressed as that in front of the zoo, and all kinds of small projects can be said to be flourishing.

“This is bottle feeding fish.”

The two came under a sunshade.

In a pond of about 20 square meters, densely packed colorful koi are rolling in the water, as if waiting to be fed by humans at any time.

Every fish here is as long as Lucia's arm.

The two small fish raised in Lucia's house are not even enough as food compared to the big fish here.

"Feed the fish? Can I take the fish home after I feed them?"

Lucia asked Xia Li while looking at the fish tumbling in the pond.

"No, we pay to feed their fish, and we can't take them home after feeding them."

Xia Li patiently explained the rules to her. As Lucia listened, her little face fell silent.

“Why should we spend money to feed other people’s fish?”

“…That’s the rule.”

"That's so stupid!"

"But you will gain happiness along the way, and happiness is the most expensive thing in this society," said Xia Li.

Lucia thought about it carefully, but still felt something was wrong: "But I can't eat fish, so why should I be happy?"

"You'll know after you try it."

Xia Li felt that he couldn't describe this feeling, and had to let Lucia feel it herself.

He didn't explain much, scanned the code, paid twenty yuan, and grabbed a two-pound milk bottle from the boss's hand.

This store is quite honest and provides a lot of fish feed. No wonder the koi in the pond are all so fat.

"Come here."

Holding the evil dragon's soft little hand, Xia Li came to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and Lucia also squatted down imitating his movements.

When Xia Li put one end of the bottle into the water, the group of koi swam over like crazy.

Their enthusiasm for grabbing the pacifier was so high that a large group of fish fought each other. Water splashed in front of Xia Li, and the cold water in the pond was lifted up and hit his face.

Lucia found the scene of the fish fighting for food quite interesting.

Question – Understand – Become!
She stretched out her little hand for the bottle, and Xia Li handed it to her without hesitation.

"for you."

"...Which one should I feed?" Lucia's face was filled with joy, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"It depends on your mood. Feed whatever color you like."

"Then I'll feed the silver one!"

"Feed it."

Lucia circled around the edge of the pond with the bottle in her hand, and the big fish followed her.

The white fish that she had chosen was stuck in the water and couldn't swim out. Lucia was so anxious that she almost took off her little leather shoes and stepped into the water.

"Don't go into the water."

Xia Li squatted not far away, supporting his chin and watching the scene.

Today didn’t get off to a good start. I had been thinking about the amusement park all night but didn’t get to go in. That was terrible.

But Xia Li miraculously discovered that his mood was not bad at all.

On the contrary, he feels very down-to-earth now.

Is this the happiness that Lucia brings him?

It is simply priceless.

"Why are you eating so much? You are not allowed to eat."

Lucia stretched her little arms as far as she could but still couldn't feed the silver-white koi.

After being eaten several times by a big golden fish, she became unhappy and raised her little fist to punch the fish's head twice.

Xia Li: “…”

Don’t knock out all the fish in the pond. Otherwise, you’ll end up losing everything you own.
Just about to stand up and stop the evil dragon's evil deeds.

Lucia had almost finished feeding the fish and walked towards Xia Li, shaking the almost empty bottle in her hand.

There was still one-tenth of the milk left in the bottle. Lucia had fed the fish enough and always wanted to feed something else.

"Xia Li, this is for you to eat."

The evil dragon brought the bottle over and wanted to feed Xia Li.

Xia Li leaned back in disgust.

"This is for fish. I don't eat it."

"Hey hey hey..."

"… So stupid."
