My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 23 The human heart is sinister
Lucia doesn't like this offensive drink.

She silently added the drink named "Coke" to her blacklist. Whenever she saw Xia Li opening a bottle of Coke, Lucia would stay away from him.

Not that I'm afraid.

The dragon would not be afraid of such a small thing.

It's just...it just doesn't feel good when it's poured into my nose.

Besides, apart from the sweet taste, it doesn't seem to be anything special. It even attacks your tongue when you drink it.

The poor evil dragon didn't even know that Xia Li had played a prank on her. She just thought that there was something wrong with the Coke.

Lucia came out of the bathroom after washing her face.

A few strands of wet hair stuck to her cheeks, making her already fair face glow with a moist luster. Combined with her somewhat dazed eyes, she looked a little pitiful.

Xia Li was washing dishes in the kitchen. He saw Lucia standing at the kitchen door and peeking at him, so he greeted her.

"Lucia, come here quickly, I will teach you how to wash dishes."

"Oh…"

Lucia strode in.

She just saw Xia Li put all the Coke into the refrigerator in the kitchen, so she deliberately hid a little when passing by the refrigerator.

"This is dish soap, and this is a dish towel, use them together like this."

Xia Li turned on the hot water and explained to Lucia while doing it.

He now made Lucia understand that to get what she wanted she needed to earn money with her own hands and then use the money to make transactions.

But Xia Li could only tell her this idea. Xia Li had not yet figured out how to make money specifically.

If we talk about Lucia's advantages over ordinary people...

Besides eating more, the other thing is that you are stronger than others?

Maybe it would be nice to be a food blogger or work as a bricklayer at a construction site?
But now real-name authentication is required for live streaming, and Lucia doesn’t even have an ID card, let alone live streaming. Even if she goes to a construction site to move bricks, no one will accept her.

Moreover, even if someone was willing to hire her for this illegal job, Xia Li would not be willing to let her do it.

Lucia still lacks some common sense now, and going out will make her face look shocked for a long time, so it is better to wait until she can fully integrate into this society before going out to work.

Now...

Let her start with the most basic housework.

"Dishwashing liquid can create foam, just like the hand soap you just used."

Xia Li rubbed the dishcloth in his hand and then showed the dense foam inside to Lucia.

Lucia stood on tiptoe to look, and Xia Li continued, "This foam can remove the grease stains in the bowl. After the dirt in the bowl is gone, you can rinse off the foam."

"Like this, one bowl is done."

While he was talking, Xia Li had already finished washing the pot.

He left a stainless steel basin for Lucia to wash. In order to allow the dwarf to reach the sink, Xia Li deliberately stepped aside half a step to make room for Lucia.

"Come and try."

"Isn't this the bowl I just ate in?"

When Lucia saw the basin, it was like seeing an old friend.

Although I only used it once, I will probably have to rely on this guy for food... for meals from now on.

"If I lick it clean enough, will I not have to wash it?"

Lucia looked at the pool of bubbles and couldn't bring herself to touch them.

"What are you thinking about!" Xia Li said helplessly, and tapped her head lightly.

"Even after you lick it clean, you still have to wash it...and don't lick the bowl!"

"Oh, okay then." Lucia's tone was even more helpless than Xia Li's.

This hero is indeed fierce.

She is not even a vicious dragon yet.

Try putting your hands into a pool full of bubbles and stirring them around. There is warm water underneath the bubbles, and it feels quite comfortable to put your hands in it.

If it were the Azer Continent, Lucia would definitely not put her hands in such a bubbling pool. She had seen her kind being cut into pieces by wizards and stewed in such a large vat, and then suspicious bubbles would appear in the vat.

So, Lucia has a shadow on things like bubbles.

But today, she was introduced to bubbles that can be drunk and bubbles that can be used for bathing.

Xia Li said it was safe, so she was not afraid.

Lucia didn't know why Xia Li's casual words could make her let down her instinctive vigilance.

She seemed to believe in what a human said without reservation.

This feeling was difficult for her, a pure-blooded dragon, to understand.

At this time, Lucia didn't know what "trust" and "dependence" meant.

But she does not reject this feeling.

"Xia Li, I'm done!"

After scrubbing the bubbles in the stainless steel basin repeatedly until its surface became shiny, Lucia shook off the water droplets on it and held it up to show Xia Li.

"Yeah, that's good. From now on, you will wash the stainless steel ones and I will wash the ceramic ones."

"Okay." Lucia nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Seeing that she was also straightforward, Xia Li bent down, opened the cupboard, put away the porcelain bowls that had just been washed, and then took out stainless steel bowls and plates from the cupboard, and even replaced the chopsticks with stainless steel ones.

"From now on, our family will use stainless steel tableware," said Xia Li.

The old house where Xia Li lives now is where she went to elementary school. Later, the university happened to be nearby, so she applied to go to school as a day student.

Here are some bowls that were discarded more than ten years ago. They can still be used because of the good quality of the materials.

Lucia: “…”

"Do we need to replace all of them with this metal?"

Lucia had a bitter face.

Xia Li nodded, "Porcelain will break if dropped, so let's change it to stainless steel."

Because Xia Li spoke so matter-of-factly, Lucia didn't notice anything was wrong.

It's a pity that she didn't know what "human heart is evil" meant at that time, otherwise she would have learned a new word on Earth.

"Lucia, how do you feel about living with me these two days?"

After wiping the water off his hands, Xia Li's tone suddenly became serious.

Lucia stared at the bubbles disappearing little by little in the sink and nodded slightly.

She hadn't thought about the possibility of surviving on Earth alone.

If she hadn't happened to meet Xia Li when she was snatching the bread yesterday and hadn't been picked up by Xia Li, she would probably have been imprisoned by humans now.

She will have to cook for others for the rest of her life behind bars without seeing the sunlight, and she won't be able to eat a single bite herself.

Lucia felt terrified just thinking about that kind of day.

"I think it's pretty good here." Lucia said, raising her little head.

In fact, she was very grateful to Xia Li.

She was grateful to him for making a dragon nest for her, feeding her delicious fried poop, and taking her to the human market.

Lucia didn't know how humans expressed gratitude to each other.

But she knew that if she could transform into a dragon at this time, she would be willing to pick a few dragon scales and give them to Xia Li - this is the most common way for the dragon clan to express gratitude.

But this is on Earth, so I don’t have dragon scales.

Lucia looked down and saw her peep-toe slippers. Her toes moved restlessly inside them.

Come to think of it…

She seemed to have nothing, not even the most basic way to express gratitude.

Now, am I not just a complete borer? And I am also the kind that eats a lot.

Xia Li asked such a question...was he trying to chase me away?
