My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 199 I Refuse (4.8K)

The next day, Xia Li sent Elong to work and stayed at home thinking about what happened last night.

He went through the comment history of the user with the black avatar and sorted out all the useful information.

There are more than a hundred comments under this account.

More than eighty of them were messages left in the comment section of Xia Li's book.

This is still before we count the number of posts he has had in the thread with others. If we count the replies in those floors, there would probably be thousands of posts.

He is a very active reader.

After studying for a whole morning, Xia Li came to three conclusions.

1. It is very certain that the world depicted by the user with the black avatar is not the continent of Aize, but another world.

Second, that world is also a magical world. Unlike the Eze Continent, it is more cruel and bloody. According to Blackhead, that world has been ruled by a race similar to the demons.

3. Brother Blackhead finally completed his mission and returned to Earth safely, but he is now living a very unhappy life.

"If it's not a delusion, then it really is a time traveler."

Xia Li sat in front of the computer and saved the sorted information in an Excel spreadsheet.

It’s not like I haven’t seen people claiming to be time travelers on the Internet before. Most of them have their own complete worldview. They keep the imaginary world in mind and even invent the written language of the other world to gain a lot of attention and traffic on the Internet.

But the final outcome is always the same: they disappear after the truth is revealed.

As for this black-headed old man, the reason why Xia Li trusted him so much...

Besides the fact that Xia Li himself is a time traveler and can empathize with him, there is another point.

His emotions were too strong.

Stories can be made up, world views can be made up, but emotions cannot.

If it weren't for the limited expressive power of words, Xia Li even felt that this person's performance in real life would be even more intense.

"Buzz" the phone vibrated.

Xia Li picked up the phone on the table and took a look at it.

When I saw the lively and jumping avatar, my frown finally relaxed.

Girlfriend: Let me show you the puppy.

Girlfriend: [Picture]
In the photo, a papillon with a ponytail appears in front of the camera. The puppy is very cute with its tongue sticking out. Lucia is teasing it with her hands. The puppy has a resistant expression and it is not difficult to see the fear in its black eyes.

Summer Dawn: Let me show you a wife-watching stone.

Xia Li took a handsome selfie and went over.

It was the first time Lucia heard this new word.

Girlfriend: Wife-Watching Rock? Where is it?
Summer Dawn: That’s me.

Girlfriend: ...You are so childish.

Summer Dawn: You are a little dragon, who are you calling childish?

I put down my phone and it was already noon in the blink of an eye.

I have to sigh for wasting most of the day today.

For Xia Li in his current situation, every day is crucial.

In addition to completing the part-time job, studying the above things is of utmost priority.

The next veterinary qualification examination is in June, and Xia Li has less than three months left.

He has to use the remaining three months to continue studying professional courses that others take for four years. The intensity of this course is even more difficult than returning to another world to slay a dragon.

"What's wrong? Did Sister Long put out your fire?"

"…scare me."

Xia Li had just opened the takeaway and taken a bite. While eating, he was listening to a professional knowledge lecture when a neutral voice suddenly popped up in his mind and scared him so much that he almost let go of his chopsticks.

"Not sneaking into a small country anymore?"

Wuqi climbed in through the window and jumped onto the table to look at Xia Li's cell phone.

The fact that he could listen to the class so leisurely proved that Sister Long had cured his impulsiveness a few days ago and he no longer clamored to buy an ID card and get married immediately.

That's right, this brother can't use any magic on Earth.

If we really want to consider things related to the extraordinary, we must get Sister Long's approval.

In the current situation, Sister Long should be very satisfied with her current life, so she would not agree to let Xia Li take this risk.

"I knew you wouldn't go."

Wuqi knew that his guess was correct.

He took off the waist bag hanging on his body with his mouth, and a lot of things fell out of the zipper with a clang.

There are waste wires, batteries, magnifying glasses, glass fragments...

"Why did you bring back garbage?" Xia Li looked at the scrap metal with disdain.

Wuqi choked: "What do you know? This is a necessary prop... Didn't you say you were going abroad? Then I have to pack and prepare!"

Xia Li stared at the pile of garbage, speechless.

"..."

Considering that this was something picked up by a stray cat, everything makes sense.

"I seem to have met a time traveler on the Internet."

Xia Li put away the takeaway box and told Wuqi about the user with the black avatar he met before the Chinese New Year.

After listening to this, Wuqi still remained skeptical.

"How can such a coincidence happen..."

Wuqi wagged his tail and stretched out his paws to play with Mianhua who was walking towards him.

"There is a high probability that it is fabricated."

"I don't think it's necessary to care. You are just online friends. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. You won't meet in person anyway, so there's no need to verify it."

Different from Xia Li's opinion, Wuqi was very indifferent to this matter.

He is just a cat, and he can't even do many things himself, let alone help other humans.

"I know what you're worried about."

After raising his paws and playing with Little Cotton for a while, Wuqi rolled on the ground. Then he lay on his belly and looked at the expression on Xia Li's face who was standing upside down in his sight.

No wonder Xia Li is called a 'brave man'.

There is a reason why that other world over there chose Xia Li to be a hero.

They must have been screened for character, personality, and beliefs.

If it were Wuqi himself, he would just sit back and watch the show, or stay away...

But Xia Li, he really seemed to be helping that person, and he cared about it.

"Anyway, there are no extraordinary powers on Earth, no magic, and no super powers like mine. Even if the other party is really a time traveler, the harm he can bring to this society is very small... If there is a problem, it is better to let the police solve it."

Wuqi was worried that his brother would get anxious again, so after he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added something.

"Don't forget,"

"Long Jie's identity cannot withstand scrutiny."

"Don't make things complicated."

"..."

Wuqi's words made Xia Li dazed for a moment.

The living room was quiet for a moment, with only the crunching sound of Cotton eating cat food in front of the cat bed.

Outside the window, green buds have already sprouted on the branches. This vibrant color sweeps away the silence of winter.

As winter turns to spring, everything is moving in a positive direction.

Xia Li took a long breath, closed the user interface displayed on his phone, and instead opened the professional online course on the small broken website and continued to attend the class.

Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that what he said was effective.

The bored uncle cat played with the half-year-old kitten for the entire afternoon.

When the alarm on his cell phone rang, Xia Li suddenly came to his senses and realized it was already this late.

The flow time when you calm down and study passes quickly.

This reminded Xia Li of his high school days, when he was working on a math problem during evening self-study. An hour would pass by as he lowered his head and raised it again. At that time, he really felt that time was slipping away.

"You're a bag of garbage, I'll take care of it for you."

As Xia Li was about to go out with his keys in hand, he saw that the trash can at home was almost full. While throwing away the trash, he saw the pile of scrap copper and iron on the ground.

Wuqi pouted, looking a little unhappy.

This is the treasure he found with great difficulty...

Do you know how difficult it is for a cat to pick up so many things and put them away?
"...If you can pick up this kind of garbage, why don't you think about picking up some money on the road?" Xia Li couldn't help but complain while cleaning up.

Wu Qi: "I would like to, but people nowadays don't carry money with them when they go out, so where can I find it..."

"It's okay to pick up other things. It's better than your things... things that even the rag collector downstairs doesn't want." Xia Li retorted mercilessly.

The man and the cat went downstairs chatting.

Xia Li threw the broken waist bag that Wuqi picked up into the trash can.

I don’t know where this cat picked up the bag, but it’s quite interesting to see it hanging on him.

This thing reminded Xia Li of a pet carrier bag, something that could be used to carry some weight when worn by a pet.

However, they are all designed for large dogs, and are less useful for cats. "How about I give you the whole useful thing?"

Xia Li thought of something else.

"What? 』

Wuqi was peeing in the small garden. When he heard Xia Li talking to him, he ran over happily.

Xia Li took a look and saw that there were no passers-by in the community yard, so he lowered his voice and tried not to sound mentally ill when talking to the cat.

"Do you want a phone watch?"

"Ah... huh?"

There were watches in Wuqi's era, but there were no telephone watches.

He had seen children wearing this kind of thing when he was the director of a hospital. It had a very small dial and was easy to operate, so even children as young as three years old could wear it.

"May I??"

Wuqi thinks this thing is quite fresh.

He hadn't had any contact with decent electronic products since he became a cat, so Xia Li's suggestion immediately made him excited.

Just imagine... a cat wearing a smartwatch would not only improve his quality of life, but also become famous in the cat world.

"Okay, okay, buy me one, and I'll be your cat from now on!"

Wuqi is also a man of action, he does what he says.

He leaped up and hung on Xia Li's body.

Fortunately, Xia Li was wearing thick clothes, so the cat's claws did not hurt him.

Xia Li pulled the cat down with disgust, twisted the scruff of the neck and put him back on the car.

Fortunately, there was no traffic jam today, so Xia Li left enough time to pick up Lucia and take her home. He stopped the car when passing by a children's watch store.

The shopping process was very quick, and Xia Li only had two functional requirements.

First point: The input method can be handwriting or typing.

Second point: the size is small enough.

In the end, Xia Li chose an ultra-small watch for Wuqi that was only 1 inch in size, about 3.3 centimeters in length and width. After shortening the length of the wristband, it fit perfectly on Wuqi's arm.

As an added bonus, the watch can also be charged wirelessly.

As long as Xia Li puts the charger on the balcony, Wuqi can come back and put his paw on it to charge it. This is no trouble at all for one person and one cat.

After installing the chat software and phone card, Xia Li handed the watch to Wuqi.

The phone card inside is still Xia Li's own.

When he got broadband a few years ago, his phone package came with three cards. He gave one to Lucia and one to Wuqi, which was just enough to finish them all.

Wuqi: There is no danger ahead, over
As an eighteen-year-old man born in the last century, the nine-square grid input method is easy for Wuqi to use.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to press the wrong button, and tying it to the arm will affect physical activity.

But compared with the advantages it brings, this disadvantage is insignificant.

"I bought this for you because I have a mission for you. Don't just play around."

Wuqi: I know, I will be your cat from now on!
Wuqi was sitting in the back row typing with his claws. It took him several minutes to edit this message, which was even more difficult than Lucia's, who had just learned handwriting.

Arriving downstairs at the pet hospital, Xia Li planned to go upstairs to take care of the team today.

Suddenly, a cat figure jumped out and quickly disappeared into the street.

After suffering a loss last time, he would never be a light bulb this time.

He couldn't bear to look directly at Sister Long after she kissed Brother Xia. She might even vent her anger on him and kill him in an instant.

Xia Li stood at the stairs and watched the black cat figure disappear without a trace before she retracted her gaze.

It’s not surprising to see such a small watch hanging on a cat.

In order to prevent cats from getting lost, many people nowadays install locators on their cats. Some even hang cameras on the cats' necks to broadcast live from the cats' perspective.

The reason why Xia Li bought a watch for Wuqi was to make it easier for them to keep in touch.

This guy comes and goes without a trace. It's better to have a fixed contact method than for him to randomly show up at home and scare Xia Li.

And, there’s one more thing.

You can let Wuqi act as your eyes and ears.

For example, if Lucia encounters any difficulties in the hospital, Wuqi can tell Xia Li immediately.

It also allows Xia Li to secretly take a look at what Long usually does at work.

This is equivalent to buying a satisfactory mobile camera, which is a good deal.

"Old Xia, this way."

As soon as he reached the stairs, the evil dragon who came out of the elevator called Xia Li.

It was a bit cold when we went out this morning, so Lucia wore a snow-white scarf. Her pretty and rosy face was wrapped in the white fluffy scarf, making her look even softer and cuter.

Lucia came over. There was no one else in the elevator, so she hugged Xia Li's arm generously.

Xia Li suddenly felt his arms being squeezed between the soft mountains, and the expression on his face softened.

"Who are you talking about, Old Xia? You have no respect for your elders..."

"In his twenties, not too young."

"I'm Lao Xia, and you're Lao Longzi."

"No, no," Lucia shook her head and said sternly, "According to age and seniority, I am your great-great-great-grandmother...you can call me great-grandmother."

"Too big? I still call you big..."

Xia Li paused for a moment, then continued, "You wish for that. Who did you learn that from? I am only willing to call you my wife."

"Humph……"

Lucia snorted. She knew that Xia Li wanted to take advantage of her every day.

Fortunately, she is smarter now than before.

Xia Li looked at the little expression on Long's face and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Letting this dragon come out to work is too radical.

What you learn outside is not the kind of simple playing house games you play at home.

Growing too fast.

In the past, Xia Li was able to grasp all of Lucia's emotions and ways of thinking. This feeling made him feel that he could hold Lucia firmly in his hands.

But now, Lucia is becoming more and more difficult to predict, which makes Xia Li feel a sense of crisis.

This kind of "desire for control" is actually not a healthy mental state.

Keeping a tight control over the other party not only imprisons the other party, but also imprisons yourself.

When two people are together, it is normal to be unpredictable.

Life needs such "accidents" as spice.

"Old Xia, how did you handle the matter of that network time traveler?"

Lucia got in the car, folded her legs, and looked like an old leader about to start a speech.

She also cares about what happened last night.

Xia Li had no idea what this guy had learned.

He took one look at the stinky dragon and said calmly, "Seat belt."

"Whoa whoa……"

The evil dragon lost his composure in a second, and frantically looked for the safety belt, then buckled it around his waist.

"As for this matter..." Xia Li kept it a secret, "Change the word 'Xia' to 'Gong', and I'll tell you."

"..."

Lucia knew that the hero was setting a trap for him.

She had foolishly fallen into many heroes' traps in the past, so she was tricked into becoming his girlfriend!

If it happened again, she would still be Xia Li's girlfriend, but this time she would definitely be the girlfriend who was superior to Xia Li.

Lucia puffed her cheeks and turned her head away.

"Don't talk to Lao Xia."

"Okay, then I'll talk to my wife."

"..."

Xia Li didn't suffer any loss at all, and she almost got used to calling her wife all the time.

The evil dragon ignored him and just showed him a round profile.

That little face was almost as red as a monkey's butt.

Xia Li was delighted and shifted the gear by holding the steering wheel.

Wu Qi is right, simplicity is the truth.

This place is not like another world. When you see injustice, you can draw your sword and help. Sometimes, you get too excited and just rush forward with your sword in hand.

On Earth, in real society, all actions must take into account the consequences.

If this kind of "consequence" would involve Lucia, Xia Li would withdraw his help and choose to refuse.
