My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 176 Don't worry, I'll cool down (4.8K)

Zhou Anqi's voice was deafening in the quiet night.

The diners who were drinking and eating skewers at the next tables all cast their eyes over here. Seeing that something was not right, Zhou Anqi grabbed Fu Yuan's arm and left here, heading straight into the dark alley.

The alley is connected to the park, which is very suitable for taking a walk and chatting.

At the barbecue table, several people looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Do you want to follow?

I won't follow him, for fear of something happening.

I should follow them...but I'm afraid of disturbing these two people.

"Angie was so strong just now, it's like she's become a different person."

Chen Tao squeezed his head over and spoke to Xia Li in a very low voice.

Even though everyone had gone far away, he still acted cautiously.

After all, she is a girl who was born and raised in Shu Province. When she doesn't talk, she is like a submissive little rabbit. But once she gets angry, she is like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Xia Li raised his hand and rubbed the 'Tyrannosaurus' beside him, then nodded, agreeing with Chen Tao's statement.

"I hope Anqi won't do this or that to Yuanzi..." Chen Tao said uneasily.

Xia Li nodded again.

Judging from their personalities, Yuanzi would definitely be the one being pinned to the ground and rubbed.

However, Xia Li understood Zhou Anqi. She wouldn't really do anything to Yuanzi, but she wouldn't let him go easily either.

"Someone has already paid for your table, and the other party asked if you want more food."

The barbecue restaurant owner wearing an apron came over, glanced at the situation on the table, and replied to the customer on his mobile phone.

Chen Tao reacted and shook his head quickly.

"No, we've almost finished eating, and there are still six bottles of wine left. You can give him the money back."

"Okay." The barbecue restaurant owner counted the beer and sent a voice message to the customer.

At the same time, Xia Li received two messages from Zhou Anqi.

Qi: Brother Xia, it’s okay, you guys can go back.

Qi: It was my fault for leaving the group. I wanted to calm down... but I found that I couldn't calm down. I acted on impulse. I'm very sorry.

Summer Dawn: Please have a good talk.

After replying to the message, they had almost finished eating the barbecue on the table, and after drinking their glasses of wine, they went home.

From the other side of the alley, intermittent sounds of arguing could be heard.

"Why give up research? Isn't this your dream? Give up research, what are all your efforts so far?"

"My dream has changed now, is that okay?!!"

"But……"

"There are so many buts. I am here in front of you now. This is my decision. What about your decision? Speak!"

"..."

"You're crying! Don't cry!!"

Chen Tao shrank his neck and could vaguely hear Fu Yuan's crying. He couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask Xia Li.

"Do you want to persuade me?"

"No, we can't get involved in this matter."

Xia Li shook his head. Chen Tao still felt uneasy. Yuanzi had drunk a little too much. He planned to wait nearby and help Zhou Anqi carry Yuanzi back.

"Angie's suitcase is still here with me. I'll help her look after it. You guys go back first."

"Row."

Xia Li followed him, said hello, pulled Long Claw beside him and led him home.

"Alas, the adult world is never easy. The older you get, the more you worry about what's ahead...

I really envy Xia Tou'er, who doesn't have to worry about anything when she's with Xiao Lu."

Chen Tao looked at the two people leaving and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Who said I have no worries?"

Xia Li didn't look back, it seemed like he was talking to himself.

The things he has to worry about are not necessarily less than those between Zhou Anqi and Fu Yuan.

It can only be said that every family has a difficult scripture to recite.

Along the way, Lucia beside Xia Li was rubbing her eyes.

She forced herself to hold back the two drops of dragon's tears that were crystal clear under the light.

"The pepper got into my eyes."

Without waiting for Xia Li to speak, Lucia took the lead in explaining her "gaffe".

"Yeah." Xia Li nodded perfunctorily.

"Really," Lucia said emphatically.

"I know you won't lie to me." Xia Li nodded again.

"..."

Lucia felt uneasy.

She felt that her understanding of human emotions was not that deep yet.

However, when Lucia saw her friend dropping everything and appearing in front of Watermelon Head today, she felt an indescribable touch in her heart.

Putting herself in his shoes, if Xia Li had abandoned her in the Aize Continent, she would also rush back to Xia Li without hesitation and question Xia Li why he abandoned her, just like Zhou Anqi questioned Watermelon Head.

"Angie left the group at noon... She was in a bad mood today, and I was trying to comfort her."

On the way back, Lucia began to explain what she had done today.

After learning that Xia Li was going out drinking with Watermelon Head tonight, Lucia told Zhou Anqi about it.

Zhou Anqi finally found the answer after struggling. It took her four hours to return to Qingcheng City from the capital, and then she appeared in front of everyone.

This was a huge gamble, and Zhou Anqi was undoubtedly betting her entire future on it.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a stupid act done on impulse.

However, as long as she thinks it is worth it, no one has the right to criticize her actions.

"So you did something good," Xia Li took a breath and remembered something else, "Then why is there no chat history in your phone?"

"I deleted it in advance." Evil Dragon explained.

Xia Li stopped.

Lucia, who was following behind Xia Li, didn't have time to brake and bumped into Xia Li's back.

She took a step back, rubbed her forehead, and raised her watery eyes.

"Okay, you're defending against me too." Xia Li started to pull Long's soft little face.

The evil dragon's face was like a dough ball made of fermented dough, but it was deformed by Xia Li's kneading and soon turned red.

The two of them were very affectionate and walked unsteadily back to the downstairs of the community.

Xia Li felt his head shaking violently, and as time went by, it became increasingly difficult for his brain to control his limbs.

"Very dizzy?"

Lucia hugged Xia Li's arm and found that Xia Li's body was staggering and he couldn't stand straight.

She thought the hero was pretending to be drunk and deceiving her like last time, but when Lucia looked at Xia Li's expression suspiciously, she found that his somewhat blurry eyes were not fake at all.

This time... the hero really seems to be controlled by the stun magic.

"I asked you to force me to drink. Now, you carry me up."

Xia Li grabbed the handrail of the stairs and felt it shaking violently. Considering that the infrastructure in this old community had long been aging, he was afraid of breaking the two iron bars, so he let go and fell to the wall on the other side.

"Hey..."

Lucia thought the hero was going to lie down, so she quickly used her thin body to prop him up.

"Didn't you say that beer has a low alcohol content and it's not easy to get drunk..." Lucia lifted Xia Li's arm over.

Unfortunately, the height difference between her and the hero is too big, so it is difficult for her to carry the hero on her back.

"Low alcohol content doesn't mean you won't get drunk. And whether or not you can get drunk depends mostly on the scene... For example, today's scene is pretty easy to get drunk."

Xia Li's voice was unclear like chanting a sutra, and the smell of alcohol mixed with the sound of his voice blew on Lucia's snow-white neck.

Lucia was in a panic and felt an itch on the back of her neck, so she raised her hand to scratch it.

"Don't make a fuss."

Just after carrying him for two steps, Lucia felt a tingling sensation in her neck again.

"You, don't bite me!" The evil dragon turned back angrily.

"You said it yourself," Xia Li said roguely, "For a dragon, nibbling is a behavior similar to expressing affection."

"That's the behavior of a dragon, not a human. You are a human, you can't behave like a dragon!" Lucia spoke out to stop Xia Li, but seeing that it didn't work, she simply slapped Xia Li's old face.

How could Xia Li understand such logical questions at this moment? Lucia's words went in one ear and out the other to him without him even thinking about it.

"I am a dragon now," he said.

After saying that, he kept rubbing his face against Lucia's snow-white neck. Lucia had to support him and stop his little movements, and she was too busy at the stairs.

This hero is drunk, so troublesome!

"If you bite me again, I will..."

I wanted to threaten the hero, but I found that I had no threat to offer.

Xia Li raised his unconscious face, narrowed his eyes slightly and waited for her to continue.

It seemed that he was waiting for Lucia to give a threatening answer before he would weigh whether to carry it out.

Isn't this reasonable? Lucia pouted and said, "I'll leave you at the stairs."

Xia Li: "Then I will be picked up by someone."

"You will be picked up by bad guys and made into a slave..."

Lucia snorted twice, thinking that her words were cruel enough and the hero would definitely be scared.

"As an adult man, the possibility of me being picked up and used as a laborer in modern society is very small. The greater probability is that I will be picked up by a passing woman, dragged home and do something bad. You know, this is called 'picking up corpses'..."

Before Xia Li could finish his words, Lucia's little fist had already hit Xia Li's chest.

He almost vomited the wine he drank.

"Hey, why are you hitting me? I'm already dizzy enough. If you hit me again, I'll pass out in front of you."

"Shut up, you are not allowed to talk!"

Lucia dragged Xia Li upstairs.

She originally wanted to threaten the hero, but now the hero is threatening her instead.

Now it seems that even the brave warrior in a dizzy state is difficult to be defeated... It's so terrifying!
Lucia grabbed Xia Li's arms and put them on her shoulders, using her short body to pull him upstairs.

Although he was strong enough, he was not tall enough. Xia Li's legs dragged on the ground like a rag, bumping against the steps and struggling all the way home.

Lucia took out the key and opened the door. Little Cotton had heard the noise a long time ago and was squatting on the ground to greet them.

So Lucia left Xia Li at the door, went into the house to touch the cotton first, then turned back and grabbed Xia Li into the house.

She first threw him on the sofa, then thought about it and carried him into the room.

The hero was dressed properly, and she had to work hard to take off his coat.

She stripped off the clothes layer by layer. When she took off the last autumn shirt, it got stuck on her neck. Lucia pulled the clothes so hard that they were deformed. Then she pulled the clothes off the hero's distorted head like pulling a carrot.

"..."

"Can you give me some privacy?"

Xia Li grabbed the last pair of pants, as if he was grabbing the last bit of his dignity.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

In the middle of winter, are they going to skin him clean and stew him?!
"You're feeling hot. The internet says the best way to cool down is to take off your clothes," Lucia said innocently.

Xia Li took a breath: "It's winter now!"

"So how do we keep away heat in winter?"

Lucia blinked and suddenly thought of a solution.

"I understand. I'll put you on the balcony to cool down naturally!"

"..."

Xia Li's mouth twitched. After thinking carefully, he found that he really couldn't keep up with the evil dragon's train of thought. "Okay, tomorrow I will be a corpse without temperature."

Lucia soon stopped making any noise. Xia Li lay flat on the bed, feeling like a small boat, swaying with the surging waves.

This is a symptom of drunkenness.

The last time I drank like this was when I graduated from high school.

In the past, when I drank too much, no one would come to take care of me. Xia Li usually walked home by herself, climbed into bed and waited for the dawn of the next day.

Drink some water, go to the bathroom a few times, and wait for the alcohol in the body to be completely metabolized, and you will be a healthy man again when you wake up.

But this time it's different.

This time there is Lucia.

Xia Li was very curious about how the dragon would deal with himself in this situation.

After waiting for a while, the sound completely disappeared from my ears.

Xia Li thought the evil dragon had really moved him to the balcony to cool down, so he opened his eyes and found himself still lying on the bed.

The familiar ceiling, the glaring incandescent light, the rustling sounds.

Turning around, Xia Li saw that Lucia had taken off her coat at some point.

She was wearing a close-fitting warm outfit with a low neckline, revealing her small and delicate collarbone. Her slender waistline was graceful and beautiful, and the curve of her chest was just right for one hand to rest on.

This is undoubtedly the most fatal temptation for the irrational Xia Li.

He couldn't help but want to hug the evil dragon, but the evil dragon twisted its waist and turned sideways.

"…What are you doing?"

Lucia turned her little face away and said, "I'll cool down."

"You cool down, I'll cool down too."

Xia Li felt his throat dry and waited quietly for a moment before Lucia snuggled into his arms like a cat.

Now Xia Li understood why Lucia said "cool down".

She took off her clothes and waited for the heat from her body to dissipate.

The room without air conditioning is very cold, and the body temperature will drop after taking off clothes.

When she was almost 'cooled', she crawled into Xia Li's arms and used her body to cool Xia Li down.

This is the evil dragon's physical cooling method.

Xia Li took a deep breath and calmed down.

"What do you think about what happened between Anqi and Yuanzi just now?"

Xia Li asked softly. The evil dragon in his arms moved twice, went out to cool down for two minutes, and then returned to Xia Li's arms.

Xia Li felt like he was in a world of ice and fire.

What Lucia didn't know was that by snuggling into Xia Li's arms she was not cooling Xia Li down, but was heating him up instead.

The girl's slightly cool body was like a ball of fire to Xia Li, and Xia Li felt that his nerves were constantly being teased.

"I don't know. Human emotions are too profound." The evil dragon muttered in reply.

"But I see you're about to drop your little pearls." Xia Li said again.

“That’s because the peppers went in!”

"I do not believe."

"believe or not!"

Lucia wouldn't say that to a drunk hero.

She used the back of her hand to feel the temperature of Xia Li's forehead and it felt even hotter.

Just when Lucia wanted to go to the refrigerator to freeze herself for a while and then come back, Xia Li pulled her back and told her to stop.

"Stop wasting time and come here."

"When a human's body temperature exceeds 40 degrees, it's easy for something to go wrong... and they can die!"

Lucia's face was serious. These were things she had looked up on the Internet.

"I have a normal fever after drinking. The temperature is not high and I won't die." Xia Li said with his eyes closed.

"..." Lucia didn't believe it and used her hand to measure Xia Li's temperature.

She wasn't sure how hot Xia Li's temperature was, but she felt that Xia Li's body was very hot, which looked abnormal.

"Then do you want to drink some honey water to sober you up?"

"We have honey at home?"

"No……"

"Alright, alright, it's okay. Just stay in my arms for a while. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Although Xia Li's tone was helpless, she was still very moved in her heart.

"Lucia..."

After holding her for a while, Xia Li felt the girl in his arms was so soft and delicious that he always wanted to bury his head in her arms and steal a bite.

He kissed the dragon's face, his tone extremely gentle.

The evil dragon put his ear to Xia Li's chest and listened.

"Hmm? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No……"

"Then you should sleep well."

"Lucia, what if I want to marry you?" Xia Li suddenly said.

Lucia was stunned, and seemed to be thinking about the answer to this question in her little head.

"That……"

She said seriously: "Then I will marry you too!"

Xia Li: “…”

Lucia knew the customs of human marriage, but she couldn't tell the difference between marrying and being married. When Xia Li said that, she answered like that in response to Xia Li.

Xia Li was silent for a long time, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"Then should I accept your gift?"

"Dowry? What is that?" The evil dragon didn't understand.

"If you want to marry me, you have to pay a sum of money, and then you can marry me." Xia Li analyzed with his limited thinking ability.

When Lucia heard that she had to spend money, her expression became serious.

"How much...how much?"

"It may be a bit expensive." Xia Li said seriously.

"Can you give me a better discount... I still need to buy a house, and I don't have much money."
