My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 229: Flowering and Fruiting

The busy May Day Golden Week is in full swing.

This was the first "catastrophe" that Lucia experienced after becoming a young intern.

Things were fine during the Chinese New Year period, as she had not yet started working as an intern. During the holiday, she only felt that the streets were busier than usual, but she had no idea how much hard work the workers put in behind the bustle.

Now she has become one of the workers and this week has been really tough.

She is busy every day, running back and forth between multiple departments and consultation rooms, and the leather on the Crocs given by the pet hospital is almost worn out by her.

After arriving home, they were so exhausted that they even stopped cooking. The two of them ordered takeout every day.

Xia Li felt sorry for the dragon when he saw how tired it was.

But unfortunately, as June is approaching exam month, Xia Li has not been having an easy time recently. Not to mention taking time out to enjoy his life, he can't even guarantee eight hours of sleep a day.

Time flies by.

After going through the most tiring period in early May, it took Lucia two weeks to adjust.

She no longer felt the same sense of novelty about the things around her as when she first arrived. Many things had become familiar to her, and she was becoming more and more comfortable using all kinds of small appliances.

Even when she goes out to buy groceries, she can go out with a basket and return with a full basket an hour later.

Although she was still reluctant to pay small amounts of money, she had already developed a certain degree of independence without Xia Li's company.

Life will eventually return to normal.

Lucia enjoys such an ordinary life.

Every day he went out to move bricks diligently, came home to wipe the floor with his dragon tail, rolled up his sleeves and cooked a delicious meal for Xia Li...

In the evening, after being praised by Xia Li and kissed by her, I felt dizzy. Then I took a bath happily and curled up in bed waiting for Xia Li to sleep with me.

so repeatedly.

A month passed and the rose withered.

After several frequent water changes, Lucia couldn't keep it alive.

She tried to use magic to save the flowers' lives, but in the end all she got was regret and disappointment.

There is no elixir of life in this world.

There is no so-called magic of immortality in the continent of Aize.

She used light magic to dry the roses thoroughly, and the petals were completely dehydrated and shattered at the slightest touch.

Following the online tutorial, Lucia used a grinder to crush the petals into small pieces, then sealed them in small jars.

She said this was the first time Xia Li gave her flowers and she would keep them well.

Xia Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In addition to the first time, there was also the second and third time. They had always been together and could have countless more times...

But this dragon's way of thinking cannot be understood from a normal perspective.

Xia Li tried to change his perspective and look at these trivial matters from her perspective, but the result made him silent.

She was leaving behind photos, traces of him, and everything he gave her...

She’s holding onto these memories.

What on earth is this dragon thinking about...

Xia Li felt bitter in his heart. Under this appearance of happiness, he didn't want to tear off the outer layer to think about what was inside.

……

"You have to work hard today too!"

"Fighting! Fighting!"

Today is the exam day.

Xia Li has to go out early in the morning.

The exam started at 8:30 this morning, with two subjects in the morning and two subjects in the afternoon. By the time I finished the exam, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

There was really no time to take Stinky Dragon to work today, so Xia Li customized a perfect route for her to work. She could take the bus or a taxi. Lucia made an 'OK' gesture, indicating that there was no problem with her at all.

During the days when Xia Li was busiest with reading, she went out to buy groceries several times. It was just a trip to and from work, no big deal.

Standing at the door, Lucia handed Xia Li her schoolbag and muttered something to cheer her up.

"Why are you speaking English?"

Xia Li took the backpack, which contained two books, and the rest were a printed ID card and admission ticket, as well as a transparent pencil case.

The qualification certificate examination is quite strict, second only to the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination that Xia Li had taken. It is also very important to Xia Li, so Xia Li takes it very seriously.

“I’ve learned a lot recently!”

Lucia raised her face with some pride.

She thought her Chinese was already well-established, so she began to challenge herself with English.

She met several foreign friends at work, but unfortunately Lucia couldn't understand their language at all and could only watch from the side.

Later, I learned a few sentences from an online English tutorial and was able to pronounce a few syllables fairly well.

"I would also say, come on baby can can need~"

"... Most likely, these two sentences are not meant to be put together."

Xia Li found it amusing.

Where did Lucia learn English? It would be fine if she just learned a little bit, but how come she was completely led astray?

These sentences sound like they are just making a fuss.

"I'm going to go out. You can see if you can take a bus later. If not, just ask for leave."

Xia Li had to take the exam at 8:30. Considering the congestion during the morning rush hour, he left home an hour and a half earlier.

It is seven o'clock now. The mornings in Shu Province get bright early after the beginning of summer. The sun has risen now, slowly emerging from the horizon like molten gold.

It looks like it will be a nice day today.

"I'm sure there's no problem!" Lucia said with one hand on her waist, in a condescending manner.

"You should try your best! If you need me, I can turn invisible and go over to copy the answers for you!"

After all, Lucia was also looking forward to opening a small hospital with Xia Li in the future, and she also hoped that Xia Li would succeed in one go.

"Don't," Xia Li interrupted, "There are dense cameras in places like that, and the invigilators are watching closely... and the anti-cheating system is getting more and more advanced now, so you might get caught if you go there."

Xia Li rejected the evil dragon's bad idea. He still had some confidence in the success of his efforts during this period.

Bending over to change his shoes, Xia Li thought for a moment and then took a coat off the hook.

Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to speak.

"By the way, Qin Chuan said he would come over in the evening."

"Oh……"

"He said he had been busy with the healing show recently, so he gathered a lot of mana for us."

"Hurrah!"

Lucia's soft white face smiled, and her chubby little face became bulging and soft, like a peeled egg.

"Is it almost done now?"

Xia Li looked the dragon up and down.

After discovering the quick method of using a bug to gain magic at the amusement park, Qin Chuan started to do so like crazy.

His emotions don't have to be about things he's been through.

As long as the emotions in the movie or TV series are real enough, successfully bring him into the plot, and have never been spoiled, Qin Chuan's every hesitation will cause Stone Heart to react.

He comes to see Xia Li every week.

Anyway, the two of them are not far apart, and it will only take ten minutes to come over.

Then, after being converted by Xia Li's Demon-Exorcist Sword, the powerful magic power was summarized into the magic model of the Aze Continent.

After all the goings and comings, Xia Li wasn't quite sure how much Lucia had collected.

But I think it should be a lot.

The first time was enough for her to put together a tail, so she should have been able to put together something else by now, right?

Claws? Dragon wings?
Even the dragon horns, which symbolize the power of the dragon, are probably all gathered together?

"Very different..."

Lucia said seriously with a straight face.

"Do you know how much it will cost in total?"

Xia Li asked with some suspicion.

It’s not that he suspected Lucia of hiding magic power, but that the dragon did obtain a lot of magic power.

Even though Xia Li didn't know much about magic, he knew...

Such a huge amount of magic power is definitely enough to cast several high-level magic spells.

Fortunately, Lucia's true form is a dragon, otherwise this level of magic power reserve would be enough to kill humans countless times.

"I don't know, but the more of this kind of thing, the better." Lucia said solemnly. Xia Li thought about it and found that he really didn't understand the things in the field of magic, so he had to tacitly believe what Lucia said.

"go out."

"Wait a minute, take this with you!"

Turning around and turning the doorknob, Lucia called Xia Li and quickly went back and forth to the kitchen.

When she appeared again, she had a small metal box in her hand.

This round stainless steel box looked familiar to Xia Li.

Isn't it the lunch box he used to go to school when he was in junior high school...

The round stainless steel lunch box has a handle in the center and is the most common style in hospitals and schools.

"I've got lunch for you!" said Lucia.

"My wife's love bento?"

Xia Li was very surprised, but he still took the lunch box and opened it to take a look.

Hmm... braised pork with rice, stir-fried broccoli and shrimp, and a small dish of steamed egg.

No wonder the dragon got up so early today, it turns out he was secretly making a lunch box.

Lucia blushed and didn't say much.

Xia Li automatically took this as the default.

He lowered his head and kissed the dragon on the head.

"The blessing of the silver dragon, superimpose the hit rate BUFF."

Xia Li said contentedly.

Lucia blushed and covered the dragon.

“Why is it the hit rate…”

"Because the veterinary qualification examination is all multiple-choice questions."

……

Xia Li went to the examination room alone.

The location of this exam is relatively remote, but there is a subway there.

So he gave up the idea of ​​driving and instead took a shared bike to the subway station in the university town and then took a direct subway line.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely take a taxi to the subway entrance.

But he had a frugal wife at home. Every time he saw Lucia coming back from shopping, she would spend more than ten minutes lying on the table calculating the prices on the receipts. Xia Li began to reflect on himself.

You will be deeply influenced by the kind of people you live with.

At this rate, Xia Li felt that it would not be a problem to collect enough money to exchange for the 'Dragon's Nest'.

University Town was one of the first few stops, and Xia Li was lucky enough to get a seat during the morning rush hour.

He took out the book and read it again, consolidating his memory while closing his eyes for a while to recharge his energy.

"Ding dong~"

He waited until the signal sounded for the stop before going down with his schoolbag.

Lucia sent a text message at this time, and she was about to leave for work.

This was the first time that the two of them were not together at this point in time, but instead embarked on their own different paths.

……

The veterinary qualification examination is divided into four subjects.

Basic subjects, preventive subjects, clinical subjects, and comprehensive subjects.

This exam is somewhat similar to the first part of the driver's license test, with only multiple-choice questions, a total of 400 questions.

Each question is worth 1 point, for a total of 400 points.

You can pass the exam if you get 240 points.

It doesn't sound difficult. Maybe if you are lucky, you can pass the exam without any preparation...

Xia Li originally thought so too.

But after he checked online and found out that the pass rate was only 20% each year, he knew that this exam was definitely not easy.

The Civil Service Professional Competency Test is also multiple-choice, but the pass rate is still pitifully low.

Xia Li came to the seat on his admission ticket. From elementary school to college, he had taken many exams, big and small, in his life.

But this time it was definitely a tense one.

It is second only to the college entrance examination.

As the reminder sounded, the test paper was handed out. Xia Li held the pen in his hand and began to answer the questions seriously.

……

"Xiaolu?"

"Xiao Lu? What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"

There were not many customers in the pet hospital today. The few customers who came in just for a simple consultation left soon after the consultation.

Lucia sat on a bench in the lobby, with a large floor-to-ceiling window in front of her.

The windows on the second floor don’t offer much of a view. Even if you sit here and look up at the sky, you can only see half of the city’s outline.

Waiting from the orange morning to the scorching noon, and then to the sunset.

Other colleagues were slacking off and chatting, but Lucia was the only one sitting in front of the window in a daze for a long time.

It wasn't until a young nurse came to her senses and patted her on the shoulder.

"I, I, I'm thinking about things."

Lucia sat here, her thoughts seemed to have drifted to the other side of the city, pinned on the figure that could never be shaken off.

"What are you thinking about? Tell me."

The young girl in a pink nurse uniform took a sip of hot water and asked Lucia with interest.

When the hospital is not busy, these girls' favorite thing to do is gossip about other girls.

People always say that women should not make things difficult for other women, but in the workplace, this kind of gossip is often necessary to maintain relationships between friends.

Lucia rarely joined them.

Occasionally she would just listen with her ears pricked up. Although she would also compare what they said with what Xia Li said, Lucia would not use this method to strictly demand Xia Li, nor would she feel dissatisfied because of the differences that appeared in the comparison.

As for Xia Li, she was already very satisfied.

"My boyfriend is taking an exam today..." she turned her head and answered in a low voice.

The young nurse squinted her eyes and smiled, still very interested in this topic.

"What certificate?"

"beast……"

Lucia subconsciously prepared to answer.

But she thought about it and felt that if she let her colleagues know that Xia Li’s professional skills were not good, they might gossip about her, which would cause trouble for her when she resigned in the future.

"Just, an ordinary little certificate." She said, scratching the little bun on her head.

The young nurse next to her was just an ordinary person who graduated from an animal major. She had been working for two years but had not yet taken the veterinary qualification exam.

The certificate that Xia Li wants to take is of very high value.

It’s hard to tell how jealous people are.

Lucia understood a little about the human mind, so she avoided the topic.

"By the way, the food for the little guests in the ward needs to be changed. I'll go change it."

She stopped staring at the window and stood up using the bench.

The young nurse looked back at her and didn't ask any more questions.

"Meow."

Wuqi, sitting on the highest cat climbing frame, guarded Lucia for a long time.

This is what Brother Xia Li asked him to do today. Xia Li was worried that Lucia was absent-minded today, so he specially asked Wuqi to watch over her.

"Meow meow meow~"

"Hey, Sister Long, what are you worried about..."

"I feel like your anxious expression right now, Sister Long, is like a husband waiting for his wife to come out of the obstetrics department~"

"Haha, this is fun."

"I'll tell Brother Xia Li about this later~"

　PS: In reality, you need to take the adult college entrance examination first, and after two and a half years of being admitted to a related major, you can take the veterinary professional qualification certificate exam.

　　PPS: The author has not studied this subject, so please don’t take it too seriously if there is anything wrong!
　　PPPS: Today I'm recommending a book to a friend. He's a cross-dresser with an Fcup. He's very broad-minded and can accommodate the world. He's worth two ()
