My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 148: I Have No Choice But to Favor the Brave One
After sending Chen Tao back to the company, Xia Li took out his mobile phone and ordered some takeout as compensation for this guy.

He wanted to say a few more words before leaving, but when he saw that Xia Touer had finished his lunch, Chen Tao swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and turned around and got out of the car proudly.

With a "click", the car door closed.

Xia Li glanced at the situation in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

The atmosphere over there is a bit strange.

Yuanzi and Anqi sat on each side, both looking out the window at the same time, neither speaking.

"Xia Li, you put someone else's cat in the wrong place."

Lucia lifted the airline box and looked inside again.

She had seen this black and white cat in a pet shop last time. She heard that it was a cat of a high-ranking official.

"You're not mistaken. I adopted him." Xia Li replied.

"Adopt?" Lucia hugged the little girl tightly in her arms.

"But we have cotton!"

Xia Li is a playboy!
"I'll tell you about this when I get back..." Xia Li said, raising his chin towards the back seat, "Leave him in the back."

"Oh……"

Although she was still a little dissatisfied, Lucia did as she was told and put the flight box in the back.

Suddenly a cat joined the battlefield. Fu Yuan and Zhou Anqi came over at the same time and their heads bumped into each other.

Fu Yuan sat up straight immediately: "Sorry..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Anqi forced a smile.

"call……"

Wuqi in the cage breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why does this little girl who looks normal give people a sense of oppression?"

"The final boss of the last level of the game... Yeah, that's the feeling."

"Angel~"

As if she noticed something was wrong in the back seat of the car, Lucia leaned over and patted Angie's thigh with her little hand.

Zhou Anqi's expression was not very good, she looked solemn and her thoughts were wandering.

Meeting Lucia's innocent eyes, Zhou Anqi smiled at her.

"Hee hee~"

Lucia smiled with her little canine teeth showing.

"puff,"

Zhou Anqi was completely amused by Lucia.

"Lumei is so cute, I really can't bear to leave you, come with me to the capital tomorrow!"

"No, no, no~"

The two girls pushed and shoved each other in the car for a while. Finally, Lucia hugged Xia Li's arm and whined.

"I want to be with Xia Li!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Anqi laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.

Lumei was always so honest and straightforward, and she envied her character.

As Zhou Anqi laughed, she turned around and saw Fu Yuan with a calm look in his eyes. Then the expression on her face returned to calmness.

"arrive."

Xia Li had one arm hugged by Lucia, and his arm was happily pressed against a soft thing.

He didn't want to pull his arm out at all, so he held the steering wheel with one hand and stepped on the brake.

The car stopped by the roadside.

Zhou Anqi looked outside and found the environment very unfamiliar.

"That's not right, Brother Xia, this is not the Wanniu District."

"It's indeed not." Xia Li nodded and said.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I won't go back yet. You guys can get off here."

"Ah~?" Zhou Anqi's tone was surprised.

However, when she turned around and saw Fu Yuan who had already got off the car, she seemed to understand something.

Brother Xia did this on purpose.

Fu Yuan got out of the car, walked around it half a circle, and opened Zhou Anqi's door.

"Come down..."

"..."

Fu Yuan took the lead in helping Zhou Anqi pick up the shopping bags, and Zhou Anqi had no choice but to get off the car.

"Dog feet!"

Lucia, who was in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and spoke loudly outside.

"The pronunciation is still wrong, it should be good job..."

Zhou Anqi smiled bitterly, but finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, Lu Mei you are so cute!"

"See you next time Angie!"

"Well...see you next time!"

Lucia raised her fair little hand and waved it, and Xia Li saw the colorful patterns painted on her fingers.

Look carefully, it should be manicure?

Looking out the window, Xia Li and Fu Yuan looked at each other silently.

Fu Yuan nodded at him, his lips moving as if to say 'Thanks, boss'.

The vehicle restarted.

Lucia adjusted her seat and, following the method Xia Li taught her last time, she turned her cushion into a lying position.

The evil dragon lay on the passenger seat and closed his eyes.

The weather is gloomy today, but she is in a good mood.

"Are you tired of shopping?" Xia Li asked.

Lucia had a peaceful expression and her voice was lazy.

=w=
"When can I see Angie again?"

"She said she would come back during the Chinese New Year."

"When is the Chinese New Year?"

Lucia has no concept of time and does not understand festivals in the human world.

"There are still more than two months... This is the most important festival in China in a year."

"Once a year!"

Lucia opened her eyes suddenly.

She understands this.

For the residents of this human country, the Chinese New Year is the most important day.

But for an individual human being, the most important day of the year is his or her birthday.

Tomorrow is Xia Li's birthday.

By the time……

Hey hey hey.

While waiting for the traffic light, Xia Li turned his head to glance at the hidden smile on the evil dragon's face.

I don’t know what’s going on in this head.

"I will definitely take you home during the Chinese New Year. According to the customs of Shu Province, my mother will definitely give you a big red envelope."

"Red envelope?"

Xia Li explained succinctly, "It's just a bag of money."

Lucia slapped her thighs and sat up.

"The great human being will give me a bag of money..."

"Get rich!"

Xia Li was amused by her words.

Now I can understand why Zhou Anqi wanted to take Lucia with her when she returned to school.

If the emotional value that Lucia provides to people is suddenly cut off, there will be withdrawal symptoms, right?

"Let's go, get off the car and eat."

On the way back to Wanniu District, Xia Li passed an intersection full of restaurants.

There happened to be a parking space on the side of the road, so I parked my car right there.

I have been busy with things at the pet hospital this afternoon. Now it is past noon and Xia Li is so hungry that he can eat a dragon.

"I have already eaten!"

While Lucia was explaining, she took off her seat belt and got out of the car holding Little Cotton.

"What did you go eat?"

Xia Li originally wanted to let Wuqi stay in the car alone for a while, since it wouldn't take long anyway.

But considering that the cat is a smart guy, it would be bad if it damages the car.

So he opened the back door and took the box out.

"For lunch..."

Lucia counted on her fingers.

"Milk tea, egg cake, grilled gluten, candied haws, egg burger, wolf-tooth potatoes..."

Listening to the dragon eating in a mess, Xia Li smiled and said.

"You call this a snack, not even a full meal."

Lucia rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm really not full."

"The world outside has changed so much..."

Xia Li was carrying a flight case and walking on the street looking for food.

Zhou Anqi introduced Lucia to many snacks that she had never seen before. No wonder the evil dragon was in such high spirits today.

Xia Li felt an inexplicable desire to win.

Be sure to take Lucia to a restaurant where she will feel more satisfied.

There are a wide variety of restaurants at the corner of the street, and intermittent sighs can be heard from the box in Xia Li's hand.

Lucia walked in front. She was obviously not hungry now. She was more interested in the little Cotton in her arms than looking at the surrounding restaurants.

"So many hot pot restaurants... I am in Shu Province after all. I actually came all the way here."

"Dingling~"

Xia Li heard the crisp sound of bells.

In the morning, the staff at the pet shop said that the bell was hollow and made no sound.

Only Xia Li heard the ringing sound.

Then, this bell must be related to Wuqi's special ability.

So, every time it rings...

Is that when magic or super powers are activated?
"Three seconds later, a traffic accident occurred."

"Three, two..."

Wuqi's voice came again. Xia Li didn't have time to observe the surrounding situation and immediately ran with the box.

In front, the cotton in Lucia's arms fell out while she was playing.

The stray cat was timid, and after leaving its owner's arms, Little Cotton subconsciously tried to find an obstacle to hide behind.

Cotton ran toward the road with his tail between his legs, and Lucia hurriedly chased after him.

"boom!"

Xia Li dropped the box and hugged Lucia and Mianhua in his arms without hesitation.

It happened in a flash, and Xia Li rushed forward directly.

"Xia Li..."

Lucia blinked.

She was very nervous when Xia Li suddenly hugged her.

Xia Li's heartbeat was... so fast. Xia Li was really scared this time.

He lowered his head to make sure that Lucia and Cotton in his arms were okay.

The dragon and the cat have not left the sidewalk yet.

However, next to the sidewalk, an electric bike was driving in the wrong direction and hit a lifted manhole cover, sending the person flying several meters away.

"……What’s wrong with you?"

Xia Li stared at that place blankly. Lucia stretched out her little hand and patted Xia Li's chest which was beating violently.

She had never seen the hero so panicked before.

Even on the battlefield of Aize Continent before, Xia Li had never shown such a frightened look.

Lucia suddenly remembered that Xia Li was also very brave when protecting his teammates, but he would never drop everything in his hands and use his body to protect anyone like he did just now.

He just...

Are you protecting her?

"fine."

Xia Li was still somewhat frightened.

He stood up, his trouser legs were torn, he brushed the dust off his trousers, and Lucia helped him brush it off.

"Next time this happens, don't chase after him. The road is very dangerous," said Xia Li.

He was not sure whether the "traffic accident" Wuqi had just predicted meant that the electric bike fell down by itself or that the electric bike hit someone.

However, even if he had to make the choice again, Xia Li would not hesitate.

He would not gamble with Lucia on that 50% probability.

"But Cotton ran away just now."

Xia Li spoke to Lucia in a very serious tone, even a little fierce in Lucia's eyes.

Lucia felt that she still had her reasons, so she explained weakly.

"Cotton ran away and I went to rescue him, but you can't go."

"Why? My body is much stronger than yours! Even if a two-wheeled vehicle hits me, I won't..."

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

Don’t listen, don’t listen, the evil dragon is chanting.

"I don't want to take any risks with you. Your safety is the most important thing in any situation."

"No no no!"

Lucia could understand Xia Li's desire to protect her.

After all, she had the same idea.

Logically speaking, it is obvious that as a dragon she is more resistant to collisions, so letting her crash into it would be much less dangerous than letting Xia Li crash into it.

Therefore, she should be the one to protect Xia Li.

But Xia Li didn't listen to her.

The evil dragon kept muttering, Xia Li let go of her hand and threatened in her ear.

"I'll listen to you at other times, but you have to listen to me on this matter."

"But I..."

"Kiss you again!"

"..."

Lucia still wanted to reason with Xia Li.

As a result, Xia Li acted like a stubborn person and refused to listen, and even threatened her.

There are people coming and going on this street.

Kissing the dragon at this time would be too disrespectful to the dragon.

Lucia felt that she would be embarrassed.

So he shut his mouth silently.

There is no other way, we can only let this brave man bully the dragon...

After all, she is already a hundred years old, so it is understandable that she lets this brave man who is about to turn twenty-three go.

Lucia quickly adjusted her mindset.

She looked back at the broken electric bike.

"Is the human over there okay?"

"I'm wearing a helmet, so I should be fine."

Xia Li doesn't want to stay here.

He picked up the airline box that had fallen to the ground with one hand and held Lucia's little hand with the other.

"Let's go eat hot pot rabbit. You wanted to eat it last time but you didn't get to eat it."

Xia Li stopped hesitating and just found a store and went in.

Lucia rarely goes to places like restaurants.

After entering, the cramped space and the pungent aroma in the air made her feel uncomfortable.

Xia Li chose a seat by the window and considerately helped Lucia open the window.

The fresh air blowing in from outside made Lucia feel much more comfortable.

"Pa bang,"

Patting the empty seat on the sofa next to her, Lucia called Xia Li.

Xia Li was puzzled: "What?"

"You sit in the same row with me."

"Usually couples sit facing each other."

"Then we are an ordinary couple!"

"..."

Xia Li had no choice but to walk over and squeeze onto the same row of sofas with Elong.

The waiter in charge of serving the food gave the two of them a strange look, then silently poured them tea.

"A little spicy." Xia Li said to the waiter.

After the waiter nodded and left, Lucia moved her little butt close to Xia Li and spoke to Xia Li in a very low voice.

"Xia Li, I just saw at the door that pets are not allowed in this restaurant..."

Xia Li nodded: "Most restaurants don't allow pets."

"Then we must protect cotton!"

"Well, protect the cotton."

Xia Li was a little amused.

I thought this dragon had become more clingy, but after all this time I called him over to be a tool.

Lucia put the little cotton on her thighs, but her legs were too small. It was okay when she was sitting in the car, as she could half lie down and the cotton would not fall down.

But the chairs in the restaurant were straight, and Lucia couldn't hold Cotton, so she could only put Cotton on Xia Li's legs.

Little Mianhua was very well behaved at this moment, with his two cat paws tucked into his lap, nestling on Xia Li without moving.

The scene that just happened must have scared it quite a bit.

After placing the cotton, Lucia walked around the dining table again and came to the airline box.

As soon as she squatted down, she heard Xia Li talking.

“You can’t touch it.”

"Hmm?" The dragon looked up.

"This cat is poisonous."

"Poisonous..." Lucia thought for a moment, "But I am immune to all poisons!"

"Even if you are immune to all poisons, it won't work." Xia Li said sternly.

Lucia secretly took a look inside the cage and then looked at Xia Li in confusion.

Xia Li directly stated in a way that the dragon could understand: "This cat is a male."

"male?"

"Well, so if you touch me, I'll be very unhappy." Xia Li said directly.

Even though it's a neutered male cat, it's still a male.

And there is a human soul inside.

Xia Li felt weird even when she hugged Wuji herself, so how could she let Lucia touch him?

"Oh……"

After Xia Li said this, Lucia could understand.

Possessive!
Male dragons have a strong, territorial desire for the females they like.

They will do everything they can to drive away any males around them...

I didn’t expect humans to have it too!
Lucia was a little happy.

Silently sitting back next to Xia Li, Lucia took a sip of the lemonade the waiter had just poured for her and continued muttering.

"But if you adopt this cat, there will be one more male cat in your territory...in your home."

"I have another way of dealing with it."

"what way?"

"I'll tell you when I get back."

Xia Li was mysterious and didn't say much.

Lucia was used to it. She had almost finished her glass of lemonade when the hot pot rabbit was soon served.

Even if it is slightly spicy, most people cannot accept the slightly spicy taste in Sichuan Province.

The bubbling red oil on top made Lucia a little scared.

"This pepper is not spicy, but it is fragrant, fresh and spicy..."

Xia Li picked up a piece of rabbit meat, rinsed it in two bowls of water, and finally put it in Lucia's bowl.

Lucia lowered her head, picked up the piece of meat with chopsticks, and put it into her mouth.

"How about it?"

“The meat is very tender…”

When she was a dragon, she rarely ate rabbit meat.

Rabbit meat is not only difficult to eat, but also makes you hungrier the more you eat it, so it is not on the dragon clan's diet.

I didn’t expect that after being carefully processed by humans, it tasted surprisingly delicious.

Lucia picked up another tiny piece of meat from her small bowl of chili.

Using such a large pot of seasoning just to cook such a small amount of meat...

The humans in this world are very extravagant.

"eat more."

Xia Li filled the evil dragon's small bowl. The evil dragon kept putting the meat into his mouth. When he came to his senses, he found that his bowl had become a small hill.

There is no time to eat.

Xia Li suddenly understood the time when Ms. Fang kept serving food to herself when she was a child and she wanted to fill a 400 ml bowl with 4 kilograms of food.

"Thank you, brother."

While the meal was going on, a voice of relief came from the airline box.

It took Wuqi a while to come back to his senses.

Although he is a cat, when he looks at ordinary people, he only sees a creature slightly larger than himself.

But when being looked down upon by the little girl, Wuqi felt a sense of fear as if he was being stared at by a giant.

Heaving a long sigh, Wuqi looked out through the gap in the cage and just happened to see his new 'master' staring at him.

It felt strange from just now...

This brother not only predicted his predictions twice in a row.

Moreover, earlier on the road, the moment he sensed that a traffic accident was about to happen, this brother just ran and successfully protected his girlfriend.

Thinking back to the surprising coincidence when he named himself...

Wuqi frowned.

A ridiculous idea popped into his mind.

Brother, can't he hear his voice?
