My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 184: Gnawing

Chapter 184: Gnawing (5K)

When we left, the blazing red sun was still hanging in the sky and had not yet completely set.

Fang Xia rarely drives at night, so she returned home before evening.

If it were any other time, she would definitely take Xia Li to stay at her parents' house for one night, but with Lucia there, she was worried that it would be inconvenient for her.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so today won’t be a big deal.

"Mom, I'm going home."

"Be careful on the road, drive slowly..."

"Well, you can go back and rest. You don't have to see us off."

"Goodbye grandma."

"Goodbye, mother-in-law!"

The three of them got into the car and waved goodbye to the old man.

The old lady in her eighties stood in the sunset, with an expression of reluctance on her face, but mostly a smile.

In Xia Li's memory, her grandmother was a person of few words, which was completely opposite to Fang Xia.

She likes to look at you tenderly like this. She won’t express her thoughts, but will give silently and do everything meticulously.

As the car drove farther and farther away, the old lady's shadow stretched longer and longer on the ground until it disappeared.

Lucia lay by the window, looking in that direction, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

one person……

What can you usually do at home?

Humans are not like dragons. When they are bored, they can choose to sleep for a long time.

Ordinary people basically wake up after sleeping for eight hours a day, and the elderly sleep even less.

My mother-in-law doesn’t know how to use the Internet, and she can’t walk far due to physical reasons. She is always trapped in that row of small houses, and there is not even anyone around to talk to.

Lucia has a deep understanding of this feeling of loneliness.

"Put your head in here, your face is going to burst... What are you thinking about?"

Xia Li pulled Lucia in the car. Lucia's face turned red from the cold. She shook her head and said, "I feel a little dizzy."

Xia Li remembered that Long was prone to motion sickness.

Normally when riding in a car, Xia Li would open the sunroof. Today, he left a little gap in the sunroof, but the concrete roads in the countryside were winding and Xia Li would feel uncomfortable if he looked at his phone for a long time, not to mention Lucia who was already prone to motion sickness.

It was fine when she came, and Lucia slept the whole time. But now that she had just eaten, she couldn't sleep, and it was normal for her to feel dizzy.

"Mom, drive slower. Lucia is carsick." Xia Li said, sticking his head forward.

Fang Xia's car speed slowed down a bit. She took the bag from the passenger seat and threw it back.

"There are sliced ginger in it. Put it on Xiaolu's belly button. It will help relieve the pain."

"What kind of folk remedy is this..." Xia Li complained.

"This is not just a folk remedy, it has scientific basis," Fang Xia retorted.

Although he felt it was unreliable, Xia Li still decided to give it a try.

Fang Xia's handbag is like a Doraemon's treasure box. Xia Li found a fruit knife, a Band-Aid, a hot water bottle...all kinds of random things in it.

I took out a small sealed bag and found sliced ginger inside.

A woman's mind is delicate and she can consider every little thing carefully.

Xia Li secretly admired him and took out a piece of ginger and a Band-Aid.

Turning back, I saw that the evil dragon behind me had already laid down. Judging from his slightly frowning expression, he must be really dizzy.

Xia Li opened her clothes and lifted up a corner of her sweater.

Lucia's eyebrows twitched and she squinted at Xia Li.

"..."

She didn't know what Xia Li was going to do.

But suddenly stripping her clothes like this, and doing it in front of the great human beings...

The evil dragon had a shy expression on his face. He reached out to take the waist pillow beside him to cover his eyes, pretending to be going to sleep.

Sleep... fell asleep.

There was nothing to be done, so he could only let Xia Li do whatever he wanted.

Xia Li watched her series of actions and couldn't help feeling confused.

What are you doing...don't be shy.

It made him feel awkward.

It's obviously just a normal thing...

Lifting up her innermost autumn clothes, the girl's skin is so white and smooth that it seems to be as delicate as a baby's.

Lucia had a slender waist, and her abdomen was slightly raised with a flexible and perfect curve. As soon as Xia Li put his hot palm on it, she moved slightly.

"..."

Lucia lowered the small pillow that was pressing on her face, revealing a pair of watery light brown eyes, and looked at Xia Li shyly.

That look was like a little lamb captured by a hunter with nowhere to escape.

Don't look at me like that...

Xia Li felt that his blood tank was almost empty.

He stole a glance at Fang Xia. It was already late at night and the lights on the rural road were dim. Fang Xia was driving very carefully and didn't pay any attention to the movement in the car. Xia Li then leaned over and asked in a low voice in Long's ear.

"What are you thinking about?"

"My mind is blank..." Lucia said tremblingly.

Xia Li sneered.

Gentiana is usually so fat, but this is it?
Take out a piece of ginger and place it on her belly.

Come to think of it, an egg-laying creature like Lucia also has a belly button?
When I looked over there, I saw a belly button that looked like a needle seam.

This dragon has been having a very good meal recently. He has gained three pounds during the holidays and has gained a lot of weight compared to when he first came to Earth.

Xia Li put some ginger slices on it and then put a Band-Aid on it.

Lucia hummed twice in a soft voice.

"Um..."

"Don't make any weird noises!"

"My belly is burning."

"This folk remedy to relieve your dizziness should be of some use." Xia Li pulled the sweater back to cover Lucia.

Lucia covered her face with her hands and spoke as usual, but Xia Li saw her little earlobes that were crystal clear and red.

"Home remedies...witchcraft!"

"I can't say it has nothing to do with witchcraft, I can only say it has nothing to do with it...Why are you sitting up? Lie back down."

As she was talking, Lucia suddenly sat up. Xia Li was startled and pressed her shoulders to make her lie down.

The evil dragon remained unmoved, staring at Xia Li in the darkness, and no one knew what he was thinking.

She leaned forward and first put her nose against Xia Li's clothes and sniffed it, as if trying to confirm what the smell was.

Xia Li had a bad feeling in his heart.

"hiss……"

He knows it!

The dragon suddenly bit my arm.

Isn't it said that the dragon race expresses love by biting lightly? This bite was clearly a heavy one.

Rubbing his arm, Xia Li ate the bite silently, considering that Fang Xia was still sitting in front of him.

Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes, otherwise it would not be so easy to get rid of the bite.

……

After a long journey, the group finally returned to the city.

Country roads faded away, and tall buildings rose up, blocking most of the view.

The night engulfed the city, and the street lights on both sides stood there forever like giants holding up human modern civilization.

Red obstacle lights were flashing on the rooftops in the distance, and the scenery outside the window became more and more familiar.

Xia Li came back to his senses.

Got home.

"Mom, it's so late, why don't you stay overnight and go back tomorrow morning?"

After getting out of the car, Xia Li was still worried about letting Fang Xia drive alone at night.

"No need."

Fang Xia packed up her things and threw the car keys to Xia Li. She took a deep look at Lucia, who was holding Xia Li's hand.

Overall, it’s still inconvenient.

It’s not that Fang Xia herself is inconvenienced, but she is worried that Lucia will be inconvenienced.

Xia Li understood and took out his phone to look for some better hotels nearby.

Before he could say anything, a white car that had been waiting in the community for a long time flashed its high beams.

Fang Xia brushed up a strand of hair by her ear and smiled at Xia Li: "Your dad is here to pick me up."

Xia Li took a look and saw Old Xia sitting in the car.

He was wearing a light blue shirt underneath his clothes, presumably he had just driven here after get off work. Facing Xia Li's gaze, Old Xia raised his hand to signal.

Seeing this, Xia Li turned around, opened the trunk, and stuffed an exquisite gift box into Fang Xia's hand.

"Mom, this is a little gift from Xiaolu and me."

"Hey, why did you give me a present?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Xia's eyes, and then she looked at the packaging again, which should be some well-known skin care product.

"When I bought a gift for grandma, I thought of buying one for you as well." Xia Li said frankly.

I had originally planned to give it away on New Year’s Eve, but then I thought since I had already bought it, there wouldn’t be much difference in a few days, and I happened to be going back to my hometown today, so I might as well give it away.

This will allow Ms. Fang to be happy for two more days.

"Oh, that's thoughtful!"

Fang Xia smiled happily, "I wish you could give mom a gift with your own labor someday... But I'm already very happy that you have this intention."

"Mom, isn't this what I earned through my own labor?"

"Really?" Fang Xia looked at Xia Li.

This guy has no job now, he is just an idler in society, Fang Xia doesn't believe that he has started to make money. "Didn't I say before that I am working part-time?"

"Is that the one...writing stories?"

"Yes, several thousand a month." Xia Li nodded.

Fang Xia's eyes lit up with joy.

She knew that Xia Li would not lie to her about such things, so she turned around and walked away with the gift box.

"Old Xia, your son used his first paycheck to buy me a gift...take a look!"

Xia Li: “…”

No, don’t tell my dad!

Xia Li didn't have time to prepare a gift for Lao Xia. When Lao Xia found out about it, although he wouldn't say anything, he must have been jealous in his heart.

Xia Li gritted his teeth and quickly took out his cell phone to send a message to Lao Xia.

Summer Dawn: Dad, Xiaolu and I have prepared a New Year’s present for you. It will arrive by express in a few days and we’ll give it to you then.

In less than half a minute, Lao Xia came back with a message.

Lao Xia: Well, it’s okay, having the intention is enough.

Bah, I don’t believe you.

You are a proud old man, you are very bad.

Watching the white car go away, Xia Li placed an order for a carbon fishing rod on Taobao and asked the seller to expedite the delivery via SF Express.

After squeezing Lucia's little hand beside him, Xia Li took her home.

The dragon fell asleep in the second half of the journey. Sometimes Xia Li had to admire the dragon's ability to sleep.

It seems that she has no problem sleeping twenty hours a day.

"What did you just bite me for?"

Xia Li turned his head to ask Lucia who was half asleep.

Lucia yawned and rubbed her eyes: "No."

"What do you mean nothing? You bit me before, and it was pretty bad."

Xia Li wanted to lift up the sleeves of her arms to show Lucia, but found that she was too dressed to lift them.

"…because you touched my belly."

Lucia also recalled that scene, and her face turned rosy under the street light.

"What's wrong with touching your belly? Do you have to bite me if I touch it?"

"Hmm."

"Well, bullshit, don't bite people like this in the future."

"Does it hurt?" Lucia tilted her head.

"It hurts," Xia Li said, "You almost bit through my arm."

arrive home.

Little Cotton, who had been lonely all day, meowed to greet the two at the door.

Lucia kicked her legs and threw her shoes off with her feet. After changing into slippers, she picked up the shoes and put them at the door in a dejected manner.

Walking to Cotton's cat bed, Lucia glanced at the empty food bowl and wondered.

"Cotton has such a good appetite? I thought you would be depressed and unable to eat when we are not at home."

"Meow~?"

If Lucia were alone at home, she wouldn't have such a good appetite.

While adding more rice to Cotton's meal, Lucia felt a little emotional.

Sure enough, there is still a big difference between intelligent species and non-intelligent species.

The biggest difference is in the emotional aspect.

The more you think, the less you eat.

Unfortunately, Lucia no longer wants to be the heartless dragon who only knows how to eat, sleep and sleep.

"Stop petting the cat. Go take a shower first. You've been playing in the fields for so long today. Your clothes are all covered in mud. They're so dirty."

Xia Li walked over and took the little cotton ball from Lucia's arms.

"Meow~meow~"

Little Cotton flapped its paws, turned around and hugged Xia Li's arms.

Compared to the female master who can suppress its blood, it really prefers the male master with a good smell.

Lucia saw it and pouted, looking a little unhappy.

Suddenly I remembered that Xia Li said today that he wanted to show her... his butt.

Just as she was about to say this, Lucia weighed the issue again in her mind.

It's fine if we chatted a little outside during the day, but now it's just me and Xia Li at home...

If Xia Lizhen showed it to her, she might not dare to look at it.

In the past, as a giant dragon, Lucia was fearless. She would dare to face any brave warrior, even if a naked brave warrior appeared in front of her.

But now, I always feel something is weird.

And today when he suddenly bit Xia Li...

The more I thought about it, the more my cheeks started to burn.

Lucia couldn't tell whether this was the love of humans or the love of dragons.

But one thing is certain.

She seems to like Xia Li more and more.

"What's wrong? You crashed when I took the cat away?"

Xia Li waved his hand in front of Lucia, interrupting her thoughts.

This dragon is so quiet today that he keeps staring blankly at every turn. Is he going to hibernate?
But dragons don’t hibernate. This species sleeps whenever they want.

"...Humph, I'm going to take a shower."

The dragon searched in the closet and then went into the bathroom.

Xia Li was also a little tired. Between reading and working, he chose the latter.

I opened the computer tiredly and rushed to publish the new chapter of my travelogue before midnight.

I patrolled the comment section and opened the private messages to take a look, but there was nothing unusual.

Xia Li slid his finger to the user interface with the completely black avatar, and opened it with some concern.

There was no reply, and the only conversation between the two was "Are you a time traveler?" Xia Li replied with a "Yes".

The settings of Xia Li's travelogue are very detailed. The content of the setting volume is almost one-third of the main text, and there are even various illustrations and analyses.

In the eyes of others, this is indeed a very time-consuming and laborious process. After all, creating a world that does not exist out of thin air consumes a lot of imagination.

But for Xia Li, he only needed to copy the settings of the Aize Continent, and ask Lucia for additional information if he didn't understand something. It didn't require any brainpower at all.

There is no charge for the setting volume, because it is placed there to attract setting parties and stir up hot topics.

Therefore, when normal readers see him spending so much effort on a content that cannot make money, in addition to being impressed by the author's dedication, they also wonder if he has too much free time.

but……

If you are not a 'normal reader', you will have a lot of associations.

For example, in such a huge world view that has not yet had any bugs, asking the other person whether he is a time traveler.

I don’t know how the brother or girl with the black avatar came up with this idea.

Maybe it was inspired. Or maybe... you have had a similar experience?

【Brother, why are you asking this? 】

Xia Li still felt a little curious and sent a message.

After all, the novel has been serialized for two months, and the other party is the first person to ask me such a question.

"Om..."

As soon as the message was sent, the phone vibrated.

Xia Li was startled while thinking. He opened the message notification and found that it was a WeChat message from Fang Xia.

Ms. Fang: Son, be the first one to like a post on my WeChat Moments!
"..."

Xia Li's heart was pounding. She felt angry and amused at the same time when she saw the news.

When I opened Fang Xia's Moments, I thought it was some kind of free gift-giving content where you could collect likes, but I found out that the content was related to me.

'I received a New Year's gift from my son and (future) daughter-in-law today~! '

Next came nine consecutive photos of Fang Xia holding a gift box taken from various angles, with all the comments below expressing support.

Aunt Liu: [Flowers]
Uncle Chen: [qiang][qiang] Xiaoxia is starting to enjoy her life!

Xia Li calmly gave a thumbs up.

After thinking about it, he and Fang Xia did have several common friends, so he replied with a comment.

Summer Dawn: Mom, I wish you a happy new year. May you become younger and more beautiful!
After this comment is posted, Fang Xia will probably brag about it for several months.

Let her be happy for a while. Whether a woman is young or not mainly depends on her mentality. With Fang Xia's mentality, Xia Li feels that she can stay young forever.

"..."

Inadvertently, a figure flashed past my sight.

Looking up, Xia Li saw three pieces of shining silver dragon scales in front of him.

Lucia came closer and peeked sideways... It can't be said to be peeking, but she was forcing herself to look at Xia Li's phone.

"You...you dragon, why are there no footsteps when you walk?" Xia Li was shocked.

Lucia wiped her hair with a towel: "Look at what you are doing."

"At this point, of course I'm working."

"Oh……"

Lucia looked away angrily.

I thought the hero was hiding in a small dark room looking at some weird pictures. Lucia wanted to catch him but failed.

It seemed like she was overthinking it.

　It's the end of the month.
