My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 26 The Evil Dragon Was Confiscated
Xia Li's heart was hanging in the air again.

He immediately got off the sofa, grabbed Lucia's arm and walked towards the small dark room.

Lucia looked bewildered.

Xia Li held her and walked a few steps before turning back.

"wrong."

There was not even a piece of furniture in the small dark room. One could see to the end at a glance, so no one could hide there.

Xia Li focused his eyes on the washing machine on the balcony.

His washing machine is an old model with a large capacity, so there is no problem for Lucia to squat in it.

But looking at this machine that had not been turned on for some time, Xia Li couldn't bear to put Lucia in it.

"Come here."

He was in a panic and pulled Lucia's wrist to move to another position.

If he just had an ordinary girlfriend, Xia Li wouldn't have to hide it like this.

After all, he has graduated from college now, and in two years he will be at an age where his parents will urge him to get married. He can date openly and there is no need to hide from them.

But this time it's different.

In the eyes of the old couple, Xia Li was a missing person who had disappeared for a week. Now that a girl was suddenly brought back home, he couldn't tell the old couple that he had been meeting his online lover for the past week.

Ms. Fang and Mr. Xia both have relatively traditional ways of thinking, and online dating is not reliable for them.

Besides, how could someone bring someone home to live together after just meeting for a week? Lucia's immature appearance would even make the old couple mistakenly think that Xia Li brought a high school student home.

In short, the most urgent task now is to hide Lucia first.

If I have the chance in the future, I might introduce Lucia to the old couple, but it is definitely not possible now.

"You, go lie down on my bed."

"Hey hey hey, me me??"

Lucia was taken to the master bedroom by Xia Li, and then Xia Li stuffed her into the quilt.

Fortunately, the person who came this time was Mr. Xia instead of Ms. Fang.

Old Xia's mind is not as meticulous as Ms. Fang, and his observation skills are also worse. It is not difficult for Xia Li to hide someone under his nose.

As for why he was hiding in Xia Li's bed...

First of all, the living room is a place that Lao Xia will definitely go to. The bathroom and kitchen can be seen at a glance from the living room.

So, Xia Li’s room is the safest place!
The space under the bed was too dirty and the closet was too messy, so Xia Li threw Lucia on his bed without thinking.

Lucia was small, and when she curled up she looked like a ball of bedding, so Old Xia wouldn't suspect her at all.

"Be quiet for a moment."

Xia Li reminded Lucia in her ear and hurried to clean up the living room.

Lucia was covered in the quilt, revealing a pair of watery eyes. She felt her heart pounding and even her face was getting hot.

…Good, good, such a strong Xiali flavor.

This, this, this quilt looks like the kind that Xia Li would often sleep on.

Lucia didn't mean to sniff.

As a dragon, her senses in all aspects are indeed stronger than humans. In addition, Xia Li has fought with her for so many years, and this feeling has long been engraved in his mind.

Lucia, under the covers, breathed stealthily through her mouth.

She saw Xia Li hurried out, and then came in busily carrying something.

That thing... turned out to be her dragon's nest!
"I…"

Lucia hesitated to speak.

Because Xia Li had told her in advance not to say anything, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

I watched Xia Li dismantle his dragon's nest and then fold it up.

The brave Xia Li had raided her dragon's lair three times in total, and this was the fourth time.

Lucia was so angry that she bit Xia Li's bedding, trying to vent her anger in this way.

Thinking that the place where she was lying now was Xia Li's nest, and she also wanted to raid Xia Li's hometown, Lucia bit the bedding twice more.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Three short knocks came from the iron door.

Xia Li half-closed his door and walked quickly to the door.

After making sure there was nothing missing in the living room, he took a deep breath.

Fortunately, Lucia only stayed in his house for one day and did not leave many traces of her life there. Xia Li only needed to clean up the place a little and Old Xia would not be able to tell what was going on.

"dad."

When Xia Li opened the door, what greeted him was not the familiar face of Old Xia, but bags of things thrust in his face.

There are cotton-padded clothes for winter, sweet potatoes and corn, as well as homemade kimchi.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?"

Xia Li's palms sank.

These are all "local specialties" brought from home, and there is no doubt that Ms. Fang specifically asked Lao Xia to bring them.

Xia Li felt somewhat touched.

It's been three years...

I haven't seen my parents for three years.

"Where's mom?"

Xia Li calmed down and glanced behind Xia Yuanjun.

"Your mother went to the store today and asked me to come over."

Xia Yuanjun walked into the house rubbing his arm.

Although it’s only an hour’s drive away, middle-aged men are like this. They get sore arms and legs if they sit for a while.

Xia Li put the things away, took Xia Yuanjun's thermos cup, and added some hot water to it.

The house that Xia Li lives in now was bought by Xia Yuanjun when he just got married. Every time he came to deliver goods to Xia Li on orders, it felt like returning to his hometown.

Xia Yuanjun sat on the sofa and rested for a while. Looking at Xia Li putting the thermos cup in front of him, he nodded.

"Why can't I contact you for a week?"

"I went traveling."

“Traveling without a cell phone?”

"Well, I was a little confused at the time and wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world."

"That won't work either. Your mother is worried about you."

Xia Yuanjun always spoke clearly and concisely, never beating around the bush and always getting straight to the point.

In fact, Xia Li is at the most confused age. He has just graduated from college and has not yet completed his life plan. Moreover, he is unwilling to take the civil service exam and does not want to work in an office. It is difficult for him to find a stable job in society with such a rebellious nature.

However, Xia Yuanjun was not worried about this.

Xia Li's unwillingness to live a fixed life from nine to five proves that he does not want to settle for the status quo and is still holding a grudge deep down.

Of course, Xia Yuanjun was willing to believe that his son would become a great man sooner or later.

"I understand. I will definitely keep in touch next time." Xia Li reflected.

As he spoke, he slightly side-glanced at his elderly father.

Xia Yuanjun got married relatively late and is now almost fifty years old, with a lot of white hair in his hair.

Xia Li recalled that when he was a child, he plucked out white hair for Old Xia. At that time, Old Xia was willing to pay one cent for each hair, and Xia Li plucked out the hair energetically for a whole day.

At that time, Old Xia didn't have many white hairs. Xia Li searched for a long time like he was looking for treasure but couldn't earn a dollar. He casually said, "Dad, why don't your white hair grow longer?", and was beaten up by Old Xia.

Now…if he could get Xia Li to pluck out his white hair again, he would probably be able to make a lot of money in a short while.

Time is truly unforgiving.

Xia Li felt a sour taste in his nose as he recalled the desperate days when he was struggling to survive in another world, and his heart was touched.

"Huh? How come you've grown a lot taller?"

Xia Yuanjun looked at Xia Li, and then his eyes stopped on him.

Not only did his son grow taller, but he was also much stronger than before.

In the past he always said that Xia Li was too thin and that it was better for men to have some muscles so that it would be easier to find a partner in the future.

It's only been half a month since we last met, but Xia Li's muscular body looks like he's been working out in the gym for a few years.

"Yeah, 1.80 meters, that's a bit tall."

Xia Li touched the tip of his nose.

His goal when he was a child was to grow to 1.8 meters tall, but he ended up at 1.78 meters tall in college, which made him depressed.

Now that I have been to another world, I didn't expect that my body has grown a few centimeters again.

This was one of the few good things that happened during that journey to another world.

"Click."

Old Xia raised his cell phone and took a photo of Xia Li, shouting as he took the photo.

"I'm going to take this photo and show it to your mother. She'll definitely be happy when she knows it."
