My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 223 Charming Magic! Then Failure (1W)

Lucia did some research on the Internet and found out that Qingming Festival is called the Ancestor Worship Festival and also the Outing Festival.

Outing...

As the name suggests, it means trampling on the grass.

To round it off, that’s a spring outing!

I heard that in human society, primary and secondary school students are arranged by school to have this kind of outing every spring and autumn. The activity involves carrying a large bag of snacks to a scenic spot, spreading a picnic blanket on the ground, and sharing the snacks with everyone.

——This is simply the best outdoor activity in the world for Lucia!

Unfortunately, Lucia has never been a child, so she may never be able to participate in this kind of activity in her lifetime.

But, she is Xia Li’s friend.

During the half-day Qingming holiday, Xia Li decided to take her out for some fun.

"Done yet?"

"almost done!"

Xia Li was waiting at the door of the living room, glancing into the room from time to time.

The door was left slightly ajar and the lights were off, but Xia Li could vaguely see figures moving around inside.

Just going out for some fun...

The stinky dragon said she wanted to change her clothes, so Xia Li took her back.

Lucia may not quite understand the ritual of dating, but as a girl influenced by modern society, she still has a love for beauty.

So Xia Li waited very patiently. Who wouldn’t want to see his girlfriend dressed up beautifully and go out?
"What color do you prefer……"

The gap in the door was opened a little wider, and Xia Li looked inside. Lucia was hiding behind the door. A white shoulder strap was hanging on her soft shoulders, and a little outline of her flat waist and abdomen was revealed. The part below was completely shyly hidden behind the door.

It looks like she is only wearing underwear.

Xia Li's eyes fell on it as if they were sucked and couldn't move away. He stared at it like a big bad wolf, and only after a moment did he remember to answer Lucia's question.

"Are you asking about the inner or outer wear?"

"..."

Lucia blushed and didn't correct Xia Li.

Does that mean you can choose either?
"Blue and white stripes and a white skirt." Xia Li answered immediately.

"Where can I find such a color..."

Lucia didn't remember buying anything like this.

However, she probably knew the color combination Xia Li wanted.

There was no blue one at home, but she could use green one as a substitute. She dug out the pure white lace panties from the closet, and put them on little by little by hooking her feet until the edges were brought to her waist, then she pinched the edge of the elastic band to adjust them.

Lucia didn't like wearing these tight clothes before. The freedom of her dragon nature made her feel that the clothes were restricting herself.

But Lucia was shy and felt that she had to have something to cover her body after turning into a human form.

The so-called 'freedom' of the dragon clan becomes a kind of 'unbridled' in humans. She doesn't like this kind of unbridledness, so she always likes to wrap herself tightly.

After rummaging through the closet, Lucia put on a pair of safety pants and finally took out a white long skirt.

She likes white, this pure and flawless color reminds her of the white scales on her body.

She stood in front of the floor-length mirror and adjusted herself carefully, then tied the light green belt around her back into a small bow.

hey-hey……

Lucia held the hem of her skirt and turned half a circle in front of the mirror.

The soft and pure silver dragon tail fell from between his legs.

The closely arranged dragon scales cascaded down in this dark room like the brightest Milky Way in the night sky.

Lucia lifted up her little butt and looked back at her tail.

She raised her fat long tail, with the slender tip of the tail tilted up and swaying gently, as if to say hello.

Well, perfect.

Lucia is very satisfied with her current situation.

All of her pants had been modified by Xia Li herself. A hole was dug in the middle so that as long as she found the right angle when stretching her dragon tail, her pants would not be torn.

Of course, there are disadvantages to doing this.

She can only let her tail out when she wears a skirt. If she wears long pants, she has to put the tail away.

"hey-hey……"

After admiring her beautiful dragon tail in the mirror for a while, Lucia tucked her tail away and put on a small straw hat.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw the bad hero staring at me at the door.

"..."

Lucia paused and whispered while pinching the straw hat next to her ears.

"You, when did you stand at the door..."

"Just now."

"Whoa whoa……"

Lucia fled and quickly changed her shoes and went out.

When she first came to Earth, she was not very wary of Xia Li. Later, their relationship developed rapidly. After Lucia developed the shyness and reserve of a young girl, she would sneak into her room to change clothes.

Now...

Forget it, forget it. He had no idea how many times he had secretly watched it anyway.

Lucia stood outside the door and waited for a while, but Xia Li didn't come out for a long time.

She peeked inside anxiously and was about to urge him when she saw Xia Li walking out of the room slowly with a hairband in her hand.

This headband looks familiar. Lucia bought it from a sundry store last time when she wanted to play a cat girl and Xia Li said he liked dragon girls.

I bought it to make Xia Li happy, and also to add some "interest" as Zhou Anqi said...

In the end, Lucia felt embarrassed and only wore it once and never again.

What is fake will always be fake.

Lucia felt that the plastic feel was an insult to the dignity of the dragon clan.

“Why are you wearing this…?”

Watching Xia Li put the headband on her head, Lucia raised her hand to pinch the straw hat, then raised it up to touch the horns.

"Because the dragon horns look fake," Xia Li explained.

"It's so fake, why did you bring it out..."

"You wear it because it looks fake," Xia Li added as he helped her put the headband in place.

"The more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes; the fake is indistinguishable from the real... You don't understand this, do you?

If passers-by see your dragon tail and still have some doubts about you, then when they see the fake dragon horns on your head, they will just think you are a girl who plays with popular elements and cosplay, and will not guess you are a dragon. "Xia Li said.

Lucia tried to understand it and found it made sense.

"But I won't let my tail out..."

"What if? Wear a headband to prevent it."

Xia Li said this and raised his hand to touch the pair of dragon horns.

Well, it's hard and not comfortable to touch at all.

When a dragon feels excited or comfortable, it will shake its tail. This is the habit of this race.

Xia Li did not live in the continent of Aize long enough to know much about the dragon clan, but he definitely knew Lucia.

Whenever she eats something delicious or is in a relaxed state, a silky little tail will fall between Lucia's legs.

This situation also happens when you are sleeping soundly. Xia Li always feels that he is being entangled by a cold little snake in the middle of his sleep. When he opens his eyes, he finds that this stinky dragon has used him as a pillow.

This is Lucia's 'habit' as a dragon.

A cat and a cat's tail are two different creatures, and so are a dragon and a dragon's tail, it is always out of control.

……

Half an hour drive.

The place Xia Li took Lucia to was the panda base.

This is also one of the most famous attractions in Qingcheng City, and it is a must-visit place for many foreign tourists when passing by.

Because it has been raining intermittently all day, there are not many tourists in the scenic area today.

Xia Li searched around before finding the ticket office, and bought two full-price paper tickets under the surprised gaze of the ticket seller.

"It's in hand."

Holding the paper ticket in his hand, Xia Li waved it in front of Lucia as if showing off.

His heart tightened just now.

If the other party also said "ID card is required to enter the park", Xia Li would probably lose his temper.

The last trip to the amusement park left a lot of regrets. If Xia Li leaves Lucia with some regrets again this time, then he really has to consider using magic.

"Xia Li is awesome!"

Lucia, the little supporting actor, gave a thumbs up and praised Xia Li frankly.

Xia Li reached out and pinched the dragon's face.

"Learn less words like this. In the future, you only need to praise me for being handsome."

We queued up to check our tickets and enter the park. The panda base in Qingcheng City is so huge that you can’t see the end of it at a glance.

Xia Li had been here with his classmates when he was in college. His feet were sore from walking around last time that he learned his lesson. This time he bought tickets for the sightseeing bus in advance, thus avoiding the trouble of spending most of the time walking.

"It's a pity it rained today, otherwise the weather would be better and I could take a lot of photos."

In addition to seeing pandas, the panda base also has a large area of ​​garden plants to see.

The lavender on the hillside is in bud, and the dense rain seems to have wrapped the flower buds with a layer of transparent raincoat. Every plant is bent by the weight of the water droplets, and the spring breeze blows out waves of grass like wheat ears.

There was no scenery in Xia Li's eyes, only Lucia's figure was reflected in his eyes.

The girl walked through the lavender flower garden, her white and green ruffled dress as fresh as the morning dew in early summer.

Time has left no trace on her body at all. At first glance, Xia Li only saw the charming and youthful innocence that is unique to a young girl.

"If it hadn't rained today, there would have been a lot of people and it would definitely not have been as fun!"

Lucia said with a smile.

"Too."

Xia Li raised his mobile phone to take a picture of Lucia, and Lucia cooperated by posing in various ways.

Lucia seldom takes photos and doesn’t know any construction techniques. She just makes a cute hand gesture with a scissors gesture over and over again, with a sincere smile on her face.

"Take a few more pictures and show them to Aunt Fang!"

"You're so generous now. You never let me take pictures before."

"Hehe~ I dressed up specially today! And Aunt Fang likes me very much, so I am willing to show it to Aunt Fang!"

The evil dragon in the camera smiled very sweetly. Xia Li looked at the evil dragon in the picture, then looked at the real evil dragon in front of him, and always had a sense of illusion.

The Lucia seen with the naked eye was more lively and real than the Lucia in the camera, so real that Xia Li felt she was within reach.

"Come here, take a photo with me."

He hugged the sweet and soft little dragon with one hand and turned his phone to the front camera. Lucia squeezed beside him, and her soft face was flattened by Xia Li's shoulder.

The background is a gloomy sky and a flower bed after the rain, there is nothing special worth taking pictures of.

But the girl’s bright smile and emotional eyes at this moment are the most beautiful scenery.

"You, move your phone a little bit to the side." Lucia said, pulling Xia Li's hand.

"……so?"

"Yes, a little more to the side."

"Is this okay?"

"Okay, this will make my face look smaller."

Xia Li: “…………”

What does this stinky dragon focus on every day?
Xia Li had already pinched her small face with one big hand, so why was she still concerned about the size of her face?

However, she is a girl after all. It is better to study advanced mathematics than to figure out her thoughts.

"Click."

Xia Li took several photos in a row.

Even from a death perspective, Lucia's face is so perfect that there is no flaw.

Intoxicating eyebrows, smiling eyes, slightly straight nose, plump and pink lips...

The more I watch it, the more I like it.

Xia Li looked around and saw that there were no passers-by, so he kissed Lucia on the face.

Lucia opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

They are still studying the photos...

The hero just sneaked up on me like this? ?
Xia Li thought Lucia was going to bite his arm, or step on him with her little leather shoes.

But today the evil dragon changed the direction of its attack and directly fought back on the spot.

It’s strange to say, even though it’s a pair of lips without any lipstick on them, it can leave a large wet mark.

Lucia tiptoed and kissed him back.

Now it was Xia Li's turn to be dumbfounded.

Humph, look how scared this brave man is.

Lucia knew that she was very lethal.

……

They visited three panda pavilions one after another. The remaining two pavilions were crowded with people, so Xia Li did not take Lucia with him.

When it comes to dating, privacy is what matters.

Touch hands when there are few people around, hug each other when no one is watching, and if the light is worse, you can bend down and smack each other's lips with your tongue...this is the thrill of stealing when no one is watching.

But once there are more people, all of the above projects can be eliminated.

Xia Li enjoyed touching and stroking with her little hands today, and she also enjoyed walking and stopping on the stone benches while hugging the evil dragon.

Before leaving, he bought a panda doll for Lucia in the souvenir shop.

The doll is the size of a palm and is chubby like a sesame dumpling. There is a rope on the doll's butt, which seems to be able to be hung on a key chain or backpack.

Lucia walked along, playing with the sesame dumplings.

Just now, those giant pandas were afraid of her and didn't even show her their butts, so now she was going to play with the panda doll hard to vent her anger.

"Xia Li, why do pandas live in such a good environment?"

After leaving the panda base, Lucia asked with some emotion.

Pandas live in a good environment and eat well.

Seeing them chewing the tender bamboo shoots with such enthusiasm made Lucia also greedy.

In comparison, the environment of the zoo that Lucia visited last time was completely different.

"Because they are rare, they have to be kept in captivity with great care." Xia Li answered casually.

"I know this. Scarcity makes things valuable."

Lucia understands a lot now.

The fewer something is, the more it will be cherished. If it becomes abundant, no one will care about it anymore.

Lucia looked up at Xia Li, then touched the dragon horn headband on her head, and suddenly thought of something.

"what about me?"

"Ok?"

The three words she suddenly said made Xia Li unable to react. Seeing Xia Li's confusion, she continued speaking.

"I am the only dragon in the world..."

Lucia's tone was rather lonely.

When his race became the only one in the world, Xia Li was unable to understand the loneliness of being abandoned by the world.

"No matter what, you are the most precious to me." Xia Li rubbed Long's head and said.

"hey-hey……"

Lucia smiled and asked again.

"Then, if humans found out that there was a dragon like me in this world, what would they do?"

In the past, Xia Li always said something like "slice and slice", but Lucia didn't feel anything.

But after witnessing with her own eyes today how humans treat these precious giant pandas, Lucia began to wonder again...

What if humans will treat her as well as they treat giant pandas?
"With your body shape..." Xia Li thought for a moment and said again.

"You can only be compared to a Titan monster like Godzilla."

Not to mention, Xia Li actually fantasized in his mind, if Godzilla really appeared in real society, would people keep it in captivity like a giant panda, or... kill it directly.

Xia Li thinks.

The latter is more likely.

The prerequisite for humans to be willing to protect an animal is that the animal is in a state where it can be completely controlled by humans.

If any uncontrollable factors appear and the species is labeled as "dangerous", there will be only one consequence facing this species.

Nuclear flat.

“Of course not, reality is not as beautiful as in the movies.

Pandas are kept in captivity and treated well because they are a species that has survived in the natural environment of the Earth... If a life form beyond human cognition suddenly appears, whose genes cannot be traced, studied, or controlled, it will only be killed," said Xia Li.

After listening to this, Lucia's delicate eyebrows gradually frowned.

Although this is indeed cruel, if the roles are reversed, it becomes understandable.

If it were a dragon, it would do the same...

"Where to go next?"

When we got back into the car, it was already sunset. The sun finally broke through the clouds before evening, and warm orange light poured down from the sky.

Lucia's half-day paid vacation has ended, and what follows is her nightlife after get off work.

The bus to the next stop had already started. Lucia looked out the window at the city scenery that she never got tired of seeing, and a silver dragon tail quietly "fell" from under her skirt.

"I'll go wherever you take me."

Lucia adjusted the chair and half-lay down, the tip of her tail dangling comfortably.

Xia Li felt that this little thing was a hook, which made him itchy.

The dragon was tempting him!

But he couldn't be distracted while driving, and he couldn't find the time to catch her. After finally waiting for the next traffic light, Xia Li directly reached out to touch her.

Lucia sat sideways with her long dragon tail wrapped around her belly. She held her tail in her hands, looking pitiful and captivating.

"..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's boring..."

Those bright eyes blinked gently, looking so innocent.

The light turned green, and Xia Li had to refocus his attention and drive carefully.

Isn't this clearly a new kind of heartbeat paly?
It's the same thing when you're playing games with a boy and your girlfriend suddenly appears in front of you naked.

Female dragon, you are playing with fire.

"This section of the road is too congested, let's go out of the city."

Countless brake lights filled the busy intersection, and the endless long line of cars gave Xia Li a headache.

The evening rush hour during Qingming Festival is more congested than usual.

Ordinary office workers who don’t have holidays will be busy at this time, and since it has rained, the entire road is blocked with people and cars.

"Okay~"

Lucia has no requirements for the destination.

Anyway, today's itinerary is to go wherever we want and then slowly make our way back after dark.

Xia Li turned the steering wheel and turned the car at the next intersection.

The congestion in the suburbs is slightly less severe than in the city.

Lucia was a little hungry, so Xia Li stopped the car and the two of them ate some biscuits and drank some milk they brought from home to fill their stomachs.

Originally, these foods were prepared for the spring outing, but I was so busy taking photos at the panda base that I didn’t even think about eating snacks. I didn’t remember this until the evening.

Even though there were no friends to share snacks with, and no pleasant scenery, it was quite satisfying for the two of them to just stay in the car and feed each other. "Can you roll the food up with your tail and put it in my mouth?"

Xia Li took a bite of the wafer and said.

Now he felt that just letting Lucia feed him with her hands was not enough and he had to try something new.

After all, my girlfriend is a dragon...it would be a shame not to do some fancy tricks.

"..."

Lucia's face froze for a moment, and she couldn't help but be surprised by Xia Li's habit.

But she still had the courage to try, turned around, lifted her butt and raised her tail.

The base of Yinlong's tail is very fat, and the skirt is bulging. Fortunately, the safety pants are very elastic, otherwise it would definitely burst.

After trying it once, Lucia gave up decisively.

She is not a monkey, so her tail cannot be so flexible.

Before it transformed into a human form, the dragon's tail had no other function than to keep it stable in the air and to swing it out to kill its prey... Maybe it could also be used to fish, but Lucia had never succeeded.

How is it possible to do something like 'rolling up a biscuit and feeding it to the hero'?

"no!"

Lucia felt that she must have been led astray by Xia Li, which was why she really wanted to try it.

She adjusted the seat to lie flat, reached under the seat and dug around. The biscuit fell to the ground and she dug for a long time before getting it out.

Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he saw Xia Li's warning eyes and silently took out the dirty biscuit and threw it into the trash bag.

"The three-second rule..."

She said uncertainly.

If food falls on the ground, pick it up within three seconds and eat it.

“It’s been three minutes.”

Xia Li sighed and cleaned up the biscuit crumbs all over her body. She patted her skirt to collect the leftovers, then picked up the crumbs on the chair and threw them into the trash bag.

“You can’t put it in your mouth.”

Lucia was afraid that Xia Li would eat it.

"Why would I put it in my mouth!" Xia Li laughed angrily.

When did he become such a pervert in Lucia's eyes? ?
"That's where my butt sat. It's too dirty to eat."

"If you say that, I'm going to eat it."

"..."

Lucia's face turned pale, and she was stunned by what Xia Li said.

It is said that it is a waste of time to play the lute to a cow, and sometimes a dragon is also helpless when playing the lute to a person.

Seeing her dazed look, Xia Li laughed, laid down his seat, put his hands behind his head, and looked up at the roof.

It feels great to be able to rest wherever you go.

It is more suitable for dragons like Lucia who yearn for freedom and like to travel.

It’s a pity that the RV is too expensive and Xia Li can’t afford it, otherwise he could really consider taking Lucia around the world.

but……

Does she still yearn for those 'freedoms' now?

What makes her stop is no longer the scenery and interesting battles along the way, but the delicious food in the snack street and the discounted eggs in the supermarket.

What she wanted, compared to freedom, had changed.

"You're going to sleep here?"

Xia Li didn't move for a long time after he lay down. Lucia thought he was sleepy, so she tiptoed over from the passenger seat and climbed onto Xia Li's recliner very carefully.

The seat in this car was quite spacious. Lucia spread her legs and half-knelt on each side of Xia Li's hips.

She leaned over to look, supporting herself on Xia Li's chest, and found that Xia Li had not closed his eyes at all, but was staring at her with his dark eyes wide open.

Xia Li's thoughts were interrupted in an instant.

Looking at Lucia who was quietly climbing on him, he raised his hand and then placed it on the girl's slender waist.

"The color of this car window film is not dark enough and people will see it." Xia Li reminded.

Lucia flicked her dragon tail, and the cool long tail swept across his legs, and she spoke in a very low voice.

"I'm just looking at you, nothing else..."

This is a strange thing.

When Xia Li took the initiative to do something to her, Lucia would dodge because of shyness.

But when Xia Li didn't do anything to her, Lucia felt that something was missing. In order to fill this gap, she would take the initiative to touch Xia Li, or use her proud big tail to swing in Xia Li's sight.

Lucia felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that this behavior was an attempt to seduce Xia Li.

But once she was seduced, she didn't want to seduce anymore.

Can't figure it out...

Could it be that this awkward feeling is also part of the complex emotions of human beings?
Lucia supported herself with her arms and moved forward. Xia Li's chest was strong and his shoulders were broad. She wanted to lie down on him to listen to the sound.

There were only two people in the small car, stacked on top of each other like hamburgers, with their bodies touching each other over a large area. The air became a little ambiguous, and even the temperature rose a little.

Restraining the pounding in her heart, Lucia raised her half-kneeling knee slightly, trying to crawl half a step forward, but her raised knee accidentally rubbed past Xia Li's middle.

Her face suddenly turned red.

At this time, Xia Li also seemed to feel something and was really uncomfortable with this dragon.

As soon as she caught the dragon's tail that was raised up due to nervousness, Lucia retreated quickly.

Then he rolled over and back to his seat.

No, no, this feeling is coming again.

When Xia Li moved forward, she moved backward.

When Xia Li stepped back, she couldn't help but move forward.

This was Lucia’s first time as a human being, so it was hard for her to understand her own behavior!

but……

do not care.

Anyway, as long as I stay with Xia Li, she will understand one day.

"It's so hot in the car, let's go down and cool down."

Lucia tugged at her collar, pretending nothing had happened.

She opened the car door and got out directly. The cool breeze that instantly poured into the car not only made Lucia more sober, but also made Xia Li much more sober.

After taking a look at the camera hanging not far away, Xia Li felt that the car was indeed not a good place, so he followed Lucia down.

The traffic on the street has decreased a lot, and the setting sun is still struggling on the skyline.

When night falls and the dark blue and orange-red alternate, it is the most beautiful moment of the night.

Lucia flexed her arms. Her palms were sweating from just now. She actually wanted to catch Zhui Zhui. Fortunately, she was thin-skinned and ran fast. Otherwise, with Xia Li's resistance, she would definitely fall into her hands again.

"Xia Li, where are these people going?"

There are usually no pedestrians on either side of the roads in the suburbs. In a remote corner like this where not even a tall building can be seen, there should be even fewer people.

But Lucia saw people in a hurry passing by her quickly, some of them holding a bouquet of flowers, and some carrying two or three fruits.

"Take you somewhere."

Xia Li did not answer her directly, but pulled the dragon claw and walked forward.

Lucia walked and observed the surroundings.

She had seen those solemn yet slightly sad expressions on the humans' faces many times today.

At noon, the people she saw by the river burning paper money, expressing their longings, and paying tribute to their relatives and friends had the same expression.

"cemetery?"

As she walked to the end of a wide road, Lucia saw a huge stone tablet with the word "Cemetery" written on it.

Xia Li said "hmm" and continued walking forward with her.

When leaving the city just now, Xia Li moved forward in a general direction with a purpose.

Going down in this direction is Xia Li’s grandmother’s house which she visited last time.

Before entering the township area, there was a piece of land designated by the government for a cemetery.

Most villagers were accustomed to burying their relatives next to their own land. Over time, the fields were filled with graves. Later, people began to promote the concept of cemeteries, and gradually the graves were moved out and concentrated together.

Xia Li’s grandfather was like this.

Those passers-by holding flowers and fruits come to the cemetery at this time to pay tribute at the end of Qingming Festival.

Xia Li bought a bunch of chrysanthemums at the entrance of the cemetery. Burning paper money is not allowed in the cemetery, so flowers are the best way to pay tribute.

Lucia came over to take a look out of curiosity, hugged Chrysanthemum and took a breath.

"Xia Li gave it to me?"

"This is not yours."

This was Lucia's first time experiencing a sacrifice. She didn't know the meaning of chrysanthemums. She just heard from the nurses in the hospital that girls would receive flowers...

Lucia hasn't even received flowers from Xia Li yet!

This is the only shortcoming of Lucia.

But now Xia Li said that the flowers were not for her, so she pouted unhappily and returned the flowers to Xia Li.

"You want to receive roses, the red kind. These yellow flowers don't suit you."

Xia Li didn't know how to comfort the dragon.

I'll explain it to her in detail later.

Lucia's temper came and went quickly. As long as Xia Li didn't give the flowers to other girls, she would accept it.

Following Xia Li, we climbed over a small hill. The hill was full of tombstones. The surrounding greening was very good and the vegetation was growing vigorously. The road under our feet was a path made of stone bricks.

The path has been moistened by the rain, and the stone pavement has a soft luster. With every step I take, I seem to be able to hear the echo of heavy longing.

What a clever design.

Lucia sighed in her heart and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Those people really came to pay tribute.

There were almost no children in the crowd, only adults and the elderly. The expressions on their faces were all equally heavy. Only Lucia had no feelings in her heart, so she was quite relaxed.

"Xia Li, Xia Li, I'll be like this when you get old!"

Suddenly, Lucia saw two old men not far ahead.

It is not difficult to tell from their clothes that they should be husband and wife.

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair, with a bald head, brown age spots all over his body, and loose skin covering his eyelids.

People of this age group are probably already in their twilight years.

The old lady standing behind him did not look much younger either. She also had difficulty walking and walked very slowly. Even though she was staggering like a baby who had just learned to walk, she held the wheelchair handles tightly in her hands and pushed the old man forward slowly.

Lucia herself was not affected by the depressing atmosphere in the cemetery, but she was somewhat touched at this moment.

She admires the human spirit of never giving up.

Xia Li looked over from afar, didn't say much, and continued to pull Long inside.

After going around a small path, we arrived at our destination.

Xia Li's grandfather was one of the first batch to be buried here, so the location was chosen first. Fang Xia said that she had asked a Taoist priest to calculate and that this direction was the best. Xia Li didn't understand all this, but he vaguely remembered that since he was very young, he had to walk a very long path every time he offered sacrifices.

As I walked, these roads were memorized in my mind.

Xia Li stood in front of the tombstone and slowly squatted down. The tombstone had been cleaned and a bunch of white chrysanthemums were placed on it.

It seems that Fang Xia has already been here today.

"Xia Li..."

Since Xia Li did not explain the current situation to Lucia, Lucia did not know what the tombstone in front of her meant, and her attention was focused on the next door.

She saw an old lady standing next to the two tombstones. Unlike the previous worshippers, the old lady did not hold flowers, fruits, cigarettes or alcohol in her hands. Instead, she stood there blankly, staring at the tombstones at her feet in a daze.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, with only the last flame left in the west, and the cool breeze blew into the sleeves.

Lucia was never afraid of any monsters, but standing here, she did feel a little chilly.

"Why is that old woman over there alone?"

Xia Li looked in the direction of her finger and answered in a low voice.

“Maybe the children are too busy with work.”

"Is there no one else to accompany her? She looks so lonely..."

"Maybe there was in the past," Xia Li lowered his eyes and said in a low voice after seeing the time and date carved on the stone tablet.

"The only person who can accompany her is right in front of her."

"..."

Lucia took a long time to understand this sentence.

She thought Xia Li was trying to scare her by talking about ghosts and spirits.

But when she thought about it carefully, she realized that this was not what Xia Li meant.

Looking at the tombstone again, Lucia felt her eyes suddenly getting hot.

The old woman and her lover are very close...

It was less than half a meter away.

But they are very far apart.

So far away that we will never see each other again.

“This is my grandpa.”

Xia Li felt that it was not a good idea to discuss other people's affairs like this, so he pulled Lucia's sleeve and asked her to look over.

Xia Li had told her before that his grandfather passed away early.

Lucia knew what 'passed away' meant, but she didn't fully understand the feeling.

She has lived for so long, and no one has ever truly entered her world or left her world.

She can understand joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, but the separation between the Yin and Yang is still too far away for her.

"Hello, Grandpa..."

Lucia was a little dazed and stared at the black stone tablet in front of her.

Xia Li put his hand in his pocket and took out a lollipop.

"When I was a child, my grandpa also liked to give me candy. He couldn't bear to eat these candies and always saved them for me. Sometimes he didn't even notice that the candy had melted. When he took it out of his pocket, the melted candy would stick to his clothes. He would give me the big pieces he peeled off to eat, and lick the remaining little with his fingers. My grandma has scolded him many times..."

Xia Li recalled the past, pushed aside the candy wrapper and gently placed it on.

There wasn't much sadness on his face. After all, his grandfather had been gone for so long, and all that was left was longing.

Xia Li picked up a few fallen leaves on the stone tablet and gently brushed away the dust.

"Tomb sweeping means cleaning the cemetery. Generally, burning paper is not allowed in such places. Everyone comes to take a look and simply sweep the graves... This is a tradition."

Xia Li introduced these customs of Shu Province to Lucia.

Lucia waited for a moment without saying anything.

She had been making a fuss for a long time today, but now she stopped talking and became quiet.

Xia Li stared at the tombstone for a while, and then suddenly had an idea.

Maybe I was just trying to make a joke, or maybe I have always had this question deep in my heart.

He suddenly said with a half smile:

"When I am gone, will you come and sweep for me..."

Xia Li's hand was suddenly grabbed. Lucia pulled him and when he raised his face again, his eyes were misty.

"...You are not allowed to say another word."

She said with a bit of sob.

Xia Li paused and didn't say a word.

He thought he was three-tenths frank, three-tenths joking, and the remaining four-tenths were doubts about himself...

But his question seemed to hurt Lucia deeply.

The pair of golden vertical pupils contained anger and sadness, and for the first time, Xia Li saw an emotion called "fear" in a dragon's pupils.

Lucia is always the lively, cheerful, carefree and worry-free Lucia.

Xia Li thought she would never think so much.

But he seemed to have guessed wrong on this point.

"……sorry."

Xia Li felt as if his throat was pierced by a thousand needles.

After frankly admitting his mistake, he reached out and gently held Lucia in his arms.

This joke was indeed cruel to Lucia.

Of two people in love, the one who leaves first is definitely the most free and easy.

And the one who is left behind is the loneliest.

This kind of loneliness is not the kind of loneliness that comes from being abandoned by the world, nor is it the kind of loneliness that flows in dragon’s blood.

Instead, her world collapsed.

She had finally managed to accommodate one person in her small world. If this person disappeared, it would be like her whole world leaving her.

This time, Lucia had no intention of dodging Xia Li.

She leaned forward and rested her forehead on Xia Li's strong shoulder.

Lifting her wrist and hugging him, Lucia looked as aggrieved as a wounded kitten. She rubbed her forehead repeatedly, took two small breaths, and murmured aggrievedly while hiding in Xia Li's arms.

"I don't forgive you..."

"Hey, I just said it casually, I definitely didn't mean it... Can you please forgive me?"

"not good……"

"Forgive me just this once."

“Not once.”

Xia Li sighed.

Lucia hugged him very tightly, as if she was acting coquettishly, but also as if she was afraid of something and did not dare to let go.

She shouldn't be brought to a place like a cemetery.

"Then let's go home, okay?"

Xia Li stood up and picked up Lucia by her legs.

The dragon was so light that Xia Li could easily lift it up. If she wanted, Xia Li could even put her on his neck to let her feel the feeling of being lifted up high.

"it is good……"

Lucia finally gave in.

She also didn't like this kind of place which was full of desolation.

She wanted to go home and take a hot bath, and then continue to lie in Xia Li's arms and cry and act like a spoiled child.

——Who made Xia Li say that just now? She was shaking all over just thinking about it. She had to be comforted several times before she could recover.

Xia Li carried her up and down the hill. The path without street lights was pitch black. Lucia grabbed her cell phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate her path.

Although he was still angry with Xia Li, he couldn't help but care about Xia Li.

When the dark path finally comes to an end, the bright street lights on the main road can finally illuminate the road under your feet.

"Hey, why are you so sticky like a koala?"

Xia Li shook the evil dragon in his arms that was holding him tightly, and couldn't help but kiss her pretty face.

Her cheeks were still a little wet, and Xia Li kissed along the tear mark, like an old hen pecking at rice, all the way to the end of her eye.

"A few kisses to forgive?" he asked.

Lucia was kissed unconscious by the brave man and was totally disoriented.

When had she ever been held down and kissed like this by a brave man? Normally, just one or two kisses would make the dragon monster nervous, but now it was like a woodpecker knocking on a tree, and the dragon's face was pecked red by him.

Lucia covered her little face with her hands and pressed down Xia Li's pig mouth that was leaning towards her.

"Kiss for a lifetime before you forgive me."

She snorted, feeling that this was not detailed enough, and added another prerequisite:
"My whole life!"
