My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 222 It’s nice to marry a dragon wife

Early April is the time when birds are singing and flowers are dancing, and spring is in full swing.

In Xia Li's memory, it rains every Qingming Festival.

The rain is not as biting as in winter, nor as restless as in summer. It does not feel heavy, but as light as the earth elves striking the musical notes in their hands.

Xia Li sat in the car, and the drizzle fell gently on the busy street.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw the excited figure of the girl running out from the rain.

Lucia held her cloth bag against her head and charged forward like an unstoppable dragon chariot.

Then he opened the car door and got in like a little duck hiding from the rain.

"Where's your umbrella?" Xia Li asked in surprise.

When he came out in the morning, he checked the weather forecast and gave a transparent umbrella to the evil dragon to take to school... and work.

As a result, it really rained, but the dragon's umbrella disappeared.

"I lent it to a colleague."

Lucia shook off the water droplets on her body and added, "My colleague doesn't have a boyfriend to pick her up after get off work, so she has to walk a long way to the bus stop!"

"..."

Xia Li thought, this dragon is so kind.

Is this guy still the public enemy of mankind, the silver dragon known for its evil and violent nature? ?
"Fasten your seat belt."

Xia Li would never correct Lucia's kindness at times like this.

Just be kind. It’s hard to find such a gentle, kind, thrifty and virtuous girlfriend even with a lantern.

As long as her kindness is not taken advantage of or deceived by others, that's enough.

Lucia grabbed the seat belt and buckled it.

Today is Qingming Festival. The pet hospital is closed in the afternoon and all employees have a half-day holiday.

The Sichuan Province region still attaches great importance to traditional customs. People worship their ancestors on the second day of the Lunar New Year, on Qingming Festival, and on the Ghost Festival on July 15th.

Some humane private companies will give their employees a day off at this time. The usual rule of not lighting fires and burning paper will also be broken on this day. Stacks of paper money are lit by the river, and candles and three incense sticks are inserted. The river water flows down, carrying this lovesickness to the distance.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as the fire started, the urban management officers would come with patrol sticks to chase people away, but today, the on-duty personnel wearing green vests only stood by the river and reminded the citizens to pay attention to safety.

This is also humane.

Lucia looked out the window. Every wisp of smoke by the river represented a longing from her loved ones.

One after another, there are countless plumes of smoke along this street.

It's amazing.

In the continent of Aize, when people die, they are dead, and only those who have achieved success or merit can have tombstones erected.

As for the Dragon Clan...

After their death, their flesh and blood will be refined, their dragon scales will be made into defensive equipment, and their bones will be polished into sharp weapons, leaving no trace of their presence in this world.

Looking at the faces outside the window, some with sadness, some with relief, or some with realization of a new life, Lucia felt a mixture of emotions.

I can’t help but wonder, will I become one of them in the future?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately denied it.

It wasn't because she felt it was impossible, but because she was too scared... This fear came from the panic in her heart. Her thoughts would stop at this moment, and her hands and feet would become powerless as if they had lost their strength.

She wanted to escape.

"Eat first, then go after you finish eating."

Xia Li parked the car on the side of the road, and Lucia finally came to her senses after a long time and prepared to get out of the car.

Alley?
Another place Lucia had never been to.

The only places her footprints could go were those where Xia Li took her.

As for those unknown scenery...Lucia actually doesn’t have much interest in it. It’s enough for her to have Xia Li by her side.

Xia Li got off the car quickly and took Lucia to a street full of restaurants.

It is noon time now, and the first thing to solve is the problem of eating.

Lucia looked around. Over there, lush green ivy covered the entire wall, and white smoke was coming out of the boiling beef offal pot.

The residents here live at a slow pace. The drizzle failed to speed up the pace of pedestrians, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks.

Although the scenery of the old streets is all the same, I feel that every one of them is worth remembering.

"arrive."

Xia Li pinched Lucia's palm, and Lucia looked over curiously.

Just now I was wondering why we had to come to such a remote place to eat, but when Lucia saw the people busying around in that small restaurant, she understood why.

It turned out that he was here on patrol.

After Xia Li rescued Qin Chuan, who was also a time traveler, from the quagmire, he was also concerned about his living conditions.

On the point of "sense of responsibility", Lucia still agrees with Xia Li.

"What to eat?"

Xia Li found a small square table and sat down, then took the menu and ordered the food himself.

"You order, I'll go shopping."

"Walking around?"

Lucia's answer made Xia Li helpless.

Shopping?
Is she a dragon?

What's so good about a place like this? Besides, it's time to eat, but Lucia actually skipped the meal and went to wander around.

"I'll just look around..."

Lucia held the small cloth bag on her shoulder. She didn't sit down. After she finished speaking, she stuffed the bag into Xia Li's hand and turned and left.

"..."

Xia Li stretched his neck to look.

Xia Li hesitated for a moment before deciding whether to follow.

This dragon won’t get lost, right?
You won’t be cheated, right?
Questions flashed through Xia Li's mind.

He felt like an old father taking his daughter out, and he was worried sick.

But Lucia was not his daughter, but his wife.

In this kind of situation where she goes out on the street alone, she must be exposed to it...

I guess you've seen something you want to eat, so you want to buy it, right?

Xia Li retracted his neck and decided to ignore her for the time being.

"Sister Long isn't at work?"

Qin Chuan came over with a small notebook for accounting, ready to wait for Xia Li to order.

Xia Li nodded: "Today is Qingming Festival, her hospital is closed in the afternoon."

As he said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan had cut his hair short, leaving a buzz cut, and his clothes were also a little more presentable, clean and tidy.

"you……"

Xia Li paused, choosing his words in his mind, "You're not going home today?"

Qingming Festival is used to commemorate the deceased, but the situation in Qin Chuan's family... is very special.

"No, I'm busy in the store these two days." Qin Chuan shook his head and replied.

Xia Li responded, but this topic was sensitive, so he didn't continue.

While he was talking, Lucia came back dejectedly.

Xia Li looked at her closely, but couldn't see any clues.

This dragon didn’t seem to buy anything... What was he doing?
However, seeing the mysterious expression on the Dragon God's face, Xia Li knew that it was useless to ask, so he automatically ignored the question and handed her the menu.

"You have some."

"Me order?" Lucia ran a few steps, panting with exhaustion.

After staring at the menu for a few seconds, Lucia's eyes were not on the names of the dishes at all, but on the prices on the back.

"Boiled phoenix tail, shredded potatoes with green peppers, steamed eggs..."

"Wait a moment."

Xia Li interrupted the spell.

He knew it.

This dragon only knows how to order the cheapest things!
Lucia doesn't just talk about being thrifty; she always puts it into action.

She doesn’t buy things that can be avoided, and saves wherever possible. She really wants to save a little money to replace her nest.

Xia Li doesn't even dare to take her to the supermarket now, he just buys things by himself.

Otherwise, if you take Evil Dragon to the supermarket, the quality of the things at home will be reduced to the lowest level, and things like snacks will even be directly rejected.

So Xia Li would go shopping by himself, and things would be different when he brought them home. Lucia would cherish the things she paid for and eat them all without leaving a single thing.

"There's not a single piece of meat!"

Xia Li was a little amused and helpless for a moment.

Lucia said with a serious face: "How can steamed eggs be considered meat!"

"Eggs don't count as meat. Didn't my mom tell you to eat more?"

"Then I'll just eat more rice. Rice costs one dollar per person anyway, so I can eat a lot!"

Xia Li: “…”

Xia Li stopped talking and started ordering two more dishes.

One serving of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts and one serving of sweet and sour pork ribs. Lucia pouted her lips, didn't say anything, and hummed as she looked at her phone.

You have to give Xia Li a little face when you are out. It would definitely not be good to continue to refute him at this time.

After browsing the site for a while, the dishes were served one after another.

Qin Chuan brought a bucket of rice. He knew that Sister Long had an astonishing appetite, so he piled the bucket high.

Lucia added rice to Xia Li's bowl and then hesitated when she looked at the remaining rice in the bucket.

It seems uncivilized to eat directly from the bucket, so I can only add a small bowl for myself.

"Is it delicious?"

"Yeah, delicious!"

After taking a bite of vegetable and a mouthful of rice, Lucia's face showed a happy expression.

It’s so delicious that your tail is about to stick out!
"Then eat more."

Xia Li picked up some food with his chopsticks for Lucia.

The food in this small restaurant is very good. It is a very authentic fly-fly restaurant in Qingcheng City. No wonder the business is so booming. Merchants on the next street all like to order meals from this restaurant.

After finishing a bowl of rice, the dishes on the table were almost ready.

Xia Li was thinking about finishing the last few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs. Just as he picked them up, the steak between his chopsticks was snatched away by Lucia.

Xia Li held his chopsticks in the air, thought for a while, and simply put the remaining pieces into Lucia's bowl, talking as he did so.

"You like the ribs in this restaurant so much?"

"hey-hey……"

Lucia smiled and pursed her lips.

The sweet and sour spareribs are very sweet, and they taste even sweeter in your mouth.

"What are you giggling about?"

"Xia Li is so nice."

"Just kidding, I'm definitely invincible."

"Yeah! That's why I like Xia Li the most."

As expected of Xiaolonglong, who just had sweet and sour food, his words sound sweet.

Xia Li became excited when talking about this. He leaned forward and asked more questions.

"What's your second favorite thing?"

"Xia Li!"

"I'm tied for first and second..." Xia Li sighed, "What about third?"

"Xia Li!"

"Not bad... Is there anyone else besides me?"

"There are Little Mianhua and Aunt Fang!"

"Okay, I'm already very satisfied that I can be in the top three."

Xia Li laughed and felt very satisfied.

Lucia finished the last of her chops and wiped her mouth with paper.

The portion of ribs was quite large, and it was obvious that Qin Chuan had prepared something special for them.

But even so, she still felt a little unsatisfied.

Lucia had basically eaten all the meat by herself, and Xia Li hardly moved his chopsticks in order to make room for her.

Lucia saw all of this.

After learning to observe these details...she found that she was happy enough.

Such small details seemed to make her feel warm and at peace, and made her feel a kind of "touched" that only humans can feel.

"Clang clang clang!"

Finally, Lucia pulled out a pistol from behind her back... a chicken drumstick.

This chicken leg is so big, it’s made from authentic big fat chicken legs, and it’s even bigger than her palm.

As soon as she walked into this old alley, Lucia's eyes were fixed on the big chicken drumstick.

She is very greedy.

But the words '45/piece' on it discouraged her.

too expensive!
You can buy two pounds of ribs at this price!

Lucia would never buy such a flashy thing.

but……

She wanted Xia Li to try it.

"For you!"

Lucia handed the big chicken leg to Xia Li.

"……Um??"

Xia Li looked at it in a daze, wondering how such a huge leg suddenly appeared in his hand.

He was even a little flattered.

"You...give it to me?"

"Why do you look so surprised?!" Lucia pouted.

The ending sound "ma" is one of the characteristics of girls in Shu Province.

Any sentence with the word "ma" has a strong sense of coquettishness, which makes Xia Li feel numb.

"Because the chicken legs at home..."

Xia Li was moved, but hesitated to speak.

Because there is a greedy dragon at home, a dragon can even eat a whole chicken.

Xia Li would take the initiative to give Lucia chicken legs and chicken wings.

Lucia had eaten less human delicacies than him, so Xia Li wanted to let her eat more.

Besides, she is my girlfriend, who else should I spoil if not myself?
“I was indeed greedy before…”

Lucia also realized at this moment that she did not know how to restrain herself every time she ate.

Xia Li gave her many good things, including just now, when she wanted to eat the last few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs, Xia Li gave her the rest without saying a word.

Lucia never took it for granted.

However, Xia Li had done this so many times that it had become a habit and had become natural...

So, Lucia suddenly woke up.

I don't think it should be like this.

Because she wanted to save some money, she kept trying to find ways to cut down on household expenses.

But she ignored one thing...

That's how Xia Li felt.

Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure are good things, but life is ultimately a life lived by two people.

The ultimate goal of saving money is to live a good life in the future, but the "good life" at this stage is also something that cannot be ignored.

"...My salary is paid today. I will protect you from now on!" Lucia smiled with her little tiger teeth showing and promised.

"Hey……"

Xia Li still found it incredible.

This chicken leg doesn’t look cheap. It’s fine if Lucia is willing to buy it, but why did she give it to him...this dragon didn’t even take a bite?

The delicious braised chicken drumstick is so big.

Xia Li shook the chicken leg in his hand, and Lucia's eyes followed the movement of his hand.

Xia Li finally couldn't help it and asked with a smile.

"Do you want to eat?"

"I do not want to eat!"

"You really don't want to eat?"

“I really don’t want to eat it!”

"You don't even taste a bite?"

"Don't taste it!"

Coming out of the restaurant, Lucia hurried to the front.

The chicken drumstick in Xia Li's hand...she was afraid it would explode if she looked at it any longer.

Saliva kept secreting in her mouth, and she swallowed it several times, constantly telling herself in her heart... this was for Xia Li, and she also wanted to pamper Xia Li.

She also wants to buy a lot of meat for Xia Li!
Xia Li has been losing weight recently and is always sweating...Lucia is worried that he is weak.

The evil dragon walked in front, and Xia Li followed behind, with a smile on his face from time to time.

The drizzle has almost stopped, but the streets and alleys are still wet. Xia Li feels that his mood at the moment is brighter than the clear sky.

Bite into the largest piece of meat on the chicken leg, and the rich and chewy taste melts in your mouth.

really not bad.

It’s nice to marry a dragon wife.
