My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 171 Primal Impulse (4.6K)

After finalizing Lucia's workday, the dragon was in an excited state every day.

Every day he keeps saying that he wants to study, then he looks at the textbooks for a while, touches the fish for a while, and occasionally comes to harass Xia Li a few times - this learning state is exactly the same as Xia Li's childhood.

I didn't miss any of the daily housework.

Xia Li asked her to take a break, but she was still as diligent as a little bee, fiddling here, wiping there, then going to the washing machine to smell the clothes one by one, and finally kneading them before stuffing them into the washing machine.

Every time he saw this scene, Xia Li would feel strangely embarrassed.

It’s fine if you smell the coat and sweater, but don’t smell the socks too. After smelling them, you still have a very painful expression...

Moreover, this Long has secretly scrubbed Xia Li's underpants more than once or twice.

Sometimes when Xia Li was taking a shower and didn't have time to scrub herself, Elong would go to the bathroom right after her and wash her hands when he came out.

After washing, I would ask Xia Li what the pocket in the middle of these boxer briefs was for.

What are you pretending to be?

A secret weapon!

"Stop messing with that washing machine and come read a book."

Xia Li was getting impatient waiting on the sofa, so he grabbed the "Basics of Veterinary Clinical Practice" in his hand and summoned the evil dragon to study together.

The evil dragon then poured the laundry detergent into the washing machine, and then took out the fragrance beads and poured a small cap of it in.

This kind of fragrance beads has the scent of lavender, which is better than laundry detergent. It can keep the fragrance for ten days when used on winter clothes. Xia Li bought this for Lucia when she went to the supermarket last time. She likes it very much.

“I’ll read this one!”

Lucia pulled a book from the coffee table, then kicked off her slippers and launched a dragon on the spot.

Then he fell precisely into the soft sofa, crossed his legs in white socks, curled up like a cat, and began to read.

The complete set of textbooks Xia Li bought contained as many as twenty books. Even if the two of them read one book a week, it would take a long time.

Not to mention, this dragon learns to read very slowly and stutters when learning.

Smelling the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, Xia Li lost all mood to study and secretly moved his body closer to the evil dragon.

This guy was still studying pinyin last month, but today he started reading university professional textbooks with Xia Li.

This knowledge spans...

Maybe the evil dragon is actually a top student?
Xia Li took a peek at the evil dragon's pretty face and hooked her cheek with her finger.

The feeling now is just like when the teacher changed seats at school and accidentally moved the girl I had a crush on to my deskmate.

Who would have the mood to read in this situation? Wouldn’t they just flirt with their female classmate?
The evil dragon felt itchy on her face and raised her hand to slap the hero's stinky hand away. When she felt the hero withdraw his hand in disappointment, she felt a little reluctant.

So she grabbed the big, greasy hand and put it on her soft face.

The hero's hands were a little cooler than Lucia's own body temperature, probably because he had been holding the book in the middle of winter.

There is no heating in the house, and the air conditioner hanging on the wall probably has aging electronic components, so the heating effect is very poor and it consumes a lot of electricity.

The hero's mother was right, the winter here is very cold.

Fortunately, as a dragon, she is not afraid of the cold.

"When I start working and earning money, I'll buy you a big house!"

Lucia said this sincerely, and after thinking for a while, she simply stuffed the hero's slightly cold big hand into her clothes and covered it.

Xia Li stretched out his arms and kept lying on the evil dragon.

This warm and peaceful feeling is so blissful.

"Why buy a house? The housing prices have plummeted now, and who knows what the situation will be like in the future..." Xia Li murmured with his eyes closed.

"Besides, you are just an intern and you only make 1,200 yuan a month, which is not enough to rent a house. How can you think of buying a house?"

Although not discouraging the enthusiasm of evil dragons has always been Xia Li's principle of doing things.

But what needs to be made clear should still be made clear.

Recognizing reality is also an important part of entering human society.

Lucia curled up on the sofa, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

She just wanted to find a new house for Xia Li where her hands wouldn't get cold in the winter...

Dragons usually have very low requirements for their nests, basically just enough to accommodate their huge bodies.

But if we consider the 'future'... then the requirements are very high.

First of all, female dragons will only consider reproduction when the climate is suitable and there is enough food.

If we compare this to humans, it is very similar to the "material pursuit" between humans and their significant other.

Lucia still has some of this pursuit.

She counted on her fingers.

The price of an ordinary building in Qingcheng City is about 2 yuan per square meter... So if you want to buy a house of 100 square meters, then you need...

Well, two million.

Lucia scratched her forehead, feeling like dragon horns were about to grow there.

"One thousand two hundred yuan a month, if I can earn two million, I'll want it, I'll want it..."

"One hundred and thirty-eight years." Xia Li gave the answer aloud.

Lucia was stunned.

The brave one is so powerful!

Xia Li silently turned off the computer on his phone, then turned around and spoke to Elong.

"More than a hundred years. During that time, I was..."

"Only over a hundred years!" Lucia's eyes lit up.

She didn't think too much about it, she just felt that more than a hundred years was not a long time for a dragon.

A hundred years had passed from her birth to adulthood, and she had lived these hundred years in a daze, without much feeling.

Then these one hundred and thirty-eight years seem quite short.

"..."

Xia Li was silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

He pulled his hand away from Lucia's soft belly, picked up a veterinary clinical book and began to read it.

Lucia wouldn't think as much as he did.

Such was her innocent character, and the dragon race's strong adaptability left her with almost no worries.

But Xia Li is different.

As a human being, Xia Li has a lot to think about.

With one hand on the armrest of the sofa, Xia Li stared at Lucia's serious face in a trance.

After a long while, he finally sighed with some relief.

What's the point of thinking so much?

Even he himself was educating Lucia that what is important is always the process, not the result.

Do I have to back down now and tell Lucia that humans and dragons cannot be together forever? The best way is not to let Lucia integrate into the Earth society, but to send Lucia back to the continent of Aize and let her be a dragon that is forever free?

pity.

Xia Li is not such a great person.

My love for Lucia has always been selfish.

He selfishly wanted to keep her by his side, and he was determined to do so even when faced with racial and identity issues, and even when opposed by everyone around him.

What's more... Lucia herself said so.

Tell him not to abandon her.

"Xia Li..."

"Ok?"

Lucia raised the book in her hand and waved it in front of Xia Li.

Xia Li then came to his senses and saw the five big words "Veterinary Obstetrics" written on the cover of the book.

"How do you pronounce this word?" asked the evil dragon with a bitter face.

The biggest problem with this kind of professional book is that it does not have pinyin, which forces Lucia to take photos with her mobile phone to recognize the words every time, so her learning efficiency is very slow.

"Tan, the word tan means paralysis." Xia Li read the word she pointed to.

So Lucia moved her finger again and pointed to the word behind.

"What about this word?"

"Lanhuan, paralyzed."

Lucia: “…”

Human writing is so difficult to understand.

And they, as mammals, are too fragile!

This book "Veterinary Obstetrics" describes hundreds of problems that may be encountered during the delivery process.

But it’s different for the dragon clan. They just lay eggs. There’s nothing wrong with laying eggs. After recovering their strength for two hours, they will become a powerful dragon again.

Thinking of this, Lucia touched herself.

Now she is also a mammal...

Could it be that this book can actually be used on myself? !
Lucia paused.

When she raised her eyes, she found Xia Li staring at her intently, so she pursed her lips and her little face began to turn red.

She was quite embarrassed about this.

But Xia Li still had a dull look in his eyes, staring at her with a thoughtful look.

"What are you looking at?" Lucia shrank her ankles.

"Look at my girlfriend. She's so pretty." Xia Li replied immediately.

Lucia was even more embarrassed now, and quickly replaced the obstetrics book in her hand with a thick veterinary manual, muttering, "You must be thinking about something."

And it's a bad thing.

Xia Li replied: "I was thinking that if you and I had grown up together, we could still be classmates."

As he spoke, this scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

"In the summer, you wear a refreshing little skirt and a high ponytail. In the winter, you wrap yourself up like a fat mealworm, with your long hair loose and occasionally tied into two ponytails...

She looks like the girl next door, pure and kind. "

"and then?"

"Then I'll reach out and flick your little vest during class."

"??"

Lucia couldn't understand the secret language between humans.

But things like 'popping a vest' sound quite fun.

"Then I'll flick your little vest too." The dragon counterattacked.

"I don't have a vest."

"What's a vest?"

Xia Li thought for a moment, then made a half circle with his hand.

"It's the one... round, flat, and worn on the body."

"Ok?"

Lucia didn't understand. Xia Li glanced at the book "Veterinary Obstetrics" that she had casually placed on the coffee table, and explained it from a professional perspective.

"Used by mammals to feed their babies after giving birth..."

Before he could finish his words, the evil dragon's long and slender eyebrows had already frowned.

Xia Li knew what to do and didn't continue.

Click till.

Otherwise, it would be bad if you were bitten by the evil dragon.

However, in reality, Lucia only acted like a weak and delicate little dragon in front of him.

In fact, this guy might be a violent person.

If she were really in school, she would probably be a big sister with a rebellious ponytail, sharp eyes, and hateful actions, right?

Xia Li is the weak teenager whose vest was shot, and he can only cling to the big sister's thigh and act as a little brother.

Take back your thoughts.

Xia Li turned his attention back to the book "Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Practice" in his hand.

"From now on, we are classmates... I study to get a certificate, and you study to catch up on theoretical knowledge and prepare for your internship. Do you understand?"

"I know," the dragon nodded, "We are all working hard for our common future!"

"...I didn't expect you could say such words." Xia Li was a little moved.

Lucia pursed her lips and smiled.

She used to want to be a useful dragon in society because she was afraid that she would be worthless and then abandoned by Xia Li.

Later, after making sure that Xia Li would not abandon her, she still wanted to become a dragon that was useful to society.

But the goal is pretty cliché...

She wants to make money.

I want to figure out how to survive in human society, and then earn some gold coins with my own hands to save.

The dragon clan loves money very much.

Originally, Lucia didn't have high hopes for the internship. Zhou Anqi said that interns are pure slaves in the society, and some places even require payment for internships.

So Lucia just gave it a try with the mentality of "gaining work experience", but she didn't expect that after talking to Xia Li, she actually got a salary.

The situation took a quick turn, and Lucia was secretly happy about it for several days.

She didn’t have the ability before, so she couldn’t think of going far away.

But now Lucia has a certain economic foundation.

She began to plan her future.

Lucia’s goal is very clear, her future will definitely include Xia Li.

According to what Xia Li's mother said, she and Xia Li would move to a more comfortable small house, and then stabilize their work and life...

And then, this and that.

Lucia's face turned red, and she really wanted to conjure up a dragon's tail and flick it a few times.

Generally speaking…

When human environmental factors have stabilized and people are old enough, isn't it time to consider the affairs of the little ones?
Oh...she and the hero are not called little people, but little dragons.

But what does the hero think?
The hero didn't even say this, so as a newly arrived dragon, would she be thinking too far?

But Lucia believed from the beginning that the hero tricked her back to the nest so that she could give birth to dragon cubs.

Later I found out that this was not the case.

Later, I discovered that this was actually the case.

The rounding off of a human couple's relationship is similar to the birth of dragon cubs, which is a proof of affection.

Lucia's time surfing the Internet was not in vain.

Just now, the hero was talking about mammals, but he stopped talking halfway through.

This hero is not a hero, but a wise man...

Thinking of this, Lucia glanced at Xia Li secretly.

Xia Li is sorting books.

In order to synchronize his and Lucia's learning progress, he bought two sets of identical test papers.

After all, Xia Li is going to take an exam, so he sets very high standards for himself and at least makes sure he scores above the passing line every time he does the test.

But the requirement for Lucia... is just to understand the meaning of the questions on the test paper.

"Why do you look like you're going to eat me?"

Turning around, Xia Li saw Long sitting on the sofa with a blushing face, but his gentle eyes were stirring some kind of impulse.

The look on his face seemed as if it wouldn't be surprising if he pounced on him and opened his bloody mouth to swallow him in the next second.

"...No."

Lucia groaned and jumped off the sofa to pick up the little cotton on the ground.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you thinking about yourself so much that you are blushing?"

Xia Li was a little confused. Girls always think in a strange way.

Lucia raised her hand and touched the two dragon scales on her face.

After thinking about it, I put my hand down.

"Last time you said you would teach me what love is..."

Lucia rubbed her cotton-like little head, without even looking at Xia Li's expression, she continued talking with her head down.

"Have you finished teaching?"

"I……"

A very old question.

Xia Li hadn't figured out how to answer this question.

Liking is neither a state nor a goal, so there is no way to define an end or a beginning.

Some people may never understand this feeling in their entire life, while others will benefit greatly from that moment.

Sometimes even Xia Li himself can't understand the complex emotions between humans.

"I'm just getting started. You still have a long way to go."

Xia Li put the books in order and couldn't help but want to continue the topic.

He raised his eyes and asked the dragon: "How much do you think you have learned during this time?"

“I learned a lot!”

The dragon was happy to answer this question.

She looked up and raised a finger.

"I like gold coins because of the dragon race's primitive desire for beautiful metal gems. I like cotton because it is cute and pitiful, and it is a desire to protect it."

"So you like me?"

"I like Xia Li because..."

"because?"

"Because you are the same as gold coins."

Xia Li: “???”

No, I’ve worked hard for more than a month, but why is it still just gold coins?
Lucia added seriously, "Primitive desire."

Xia Li pondered over these four words for a while.

What this means is that the dragon's liking for himself is also a primitive impulse?
Isn't this still a gold coin?
"But you are different from the gold coins," Lucia added. "If you lose the gold coins, you can get them back. Even if a lot of gold coins are taken away, it will only make me angry, not sad."

"But if you leave, or get sick, or are sad, I will be sad..."

"Because there is only one Xia Li in the world."

"you are unique!"

"This is my 'like'!"
