My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 27 Something is wrong

Xia Yuanjun only sat in Xia Li's house for about ten minutes before he was ready to leave.

The main reason I came so far to see Xia Li this time was to complete the task assigned by Fang Xia.

Now that the mission is completed, he has to hurry back.

Before leaving, Xia Yuanjun went to the bathroom.

Xia Li nervously waited for him at the door.

When Xia Yuanjun came out, Xia Li deliberately observed the expression on his face. When he saw that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, I'll take you there."

During the time when Xia Li was in college, Old Xia often brought resources to support Xia Li, and the father and son were already familiar with this way of getting along.

Seeing that Old Xia was about to leave, Xia Li did not try to keep him and even helped him open the door.

"Do you have living expenses left?"

"Yes, there are some."

"Tell me if you don't have any. You are at the age when you need to spend money."

"It's enough, and I'm planning to find a job, so don't worry about these things."

Before leaving, Xia Li secretly glanced in the direction of her bedroom.

He went downstairs to see Lao Xia off, which would take at most ten minutes. Lucia was home alone...there shouldn't be any problem.

"You stopped asking for money from your family after you went to college. Now that you have entered society, you need money even more. But you are still not willing to take money from your family. Your mother always tells me that she is worried that you will go hungry."

Old Xia walked down the stairs briskly, still muttering to himself.

Xia Li smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I have a way to do part-time work? Now that the Internet is so developed, there are so many ways to make money.

Besides, isn’t this good? Sister Zhao next door uses me as an example in front of her son every day, so I can be considered half a ‘child of other people’s family’ now.”

Xia Li spoke in a brisk tone, and Old Xia turned around and glanced at him.

My son has this kind of personality.

Independent and strong-willed, but kind-hearted.

Xia Yuanjun was always afraid that Xia Li would suffer a lot after entering society.

"Okay, don't send me off. The car is parked right outside the door."

As they were talking, the two of them had already come downstairs.

Xia Yuanjun skillfully pressed the remote control in his trouser pocket, and the little white car parked not far away beeped twice.

"Do you need the car? How about I give you some practice? I'll take a taxi back."

Old Xia is always like this. You can rarely hear concern from him. He is basically delivering messages for Fang Xia. But every word he says is what Xia Li needs most. It can be seen that he is considering Xia Li from Xia Li's perspective.

Faced with this question, Xia Li hesitated.

For someone who has never touched a car since getting a driver's license, suddenly losing a car to himself is actually a bit stressful.

However, considering that Lucia did not have an ID card, the only way for her to travel far in the future would be to drive herself, so Xia Li did not say anything too absolute this time.

"You may need it later, so I'll drive it then. Don't take a taxi today. There may not be any taxis willing to go such a long distance."

Xia Li opened the car door and helped Old Xia into the car.

Old Xia nodded and didn't say much.

The car started, and before leaving, he added: "Come home for dinner when you have time. Your mother misses you so much."

"Okay, I'll be back after I'm busy these days." Xia Li nodded and watched the car start.

Only after the little white car turned a corner and completely disappeared at the gate of the community did Xia Li retract his gaze.

When he traveled back to Earth yesterday, he didn't feel anything was real. He felt vague and unbelievable, and even suspected that he was under some kind of illusion magic.

But today, after meeting Old Xia, Xia Li felt at ease, as if the adventure in the other world was just a dream.

Xia Li was deeply touched by this sense of relief and security.

When I got home, Lucia had already crawled out of Xia Li's bed.

She hid at the door of Xia Li's room, and only felt relieved when she saw that the person who came back was Xia Li.

"That guy just now... was he also a great human being?"

Lucia asked quietly as she walked out of the door.

When she saw Xia Li communicating with other humans before, Xia Li just spoke more humbly.

But when Xia Li faced the middle-aged man just now, it was more than just "humility".

It's almost obedience!

Xia Li's attitude was as submissive as a human soldier talking to his sergeant!
"..." Xia Li remembered that the affection between dragons was very weak, and she probably wouldn't understand even if she explained so much.

So he spoke in a way that Lucia could understand.

"Well, he raised me. He is indeed a great human being."

"Oh…"

Lucia nodded vigorously, as if she really understood.

"Then I will be more polite to him in the future."

……

It took Xia Yuanjun more than an hour to drive back home.

I was lucky today, there was no traffic jam on the way back.

Fang Xia had just returned from the shop and was picking vegetables in the kitchen. She would start cooking in a while.

Xia Yuanjun put down the thermos and hurriedly showed Fang Xia his cell phone.

"Xiaoxia, look at your son. He has grown taller in half a month since I last saw him!" Xia Yuanjun said excitedly.

"Hmm? Can Xia Li still grow taller?"

Fang Xia, who was squatting on the ground picking vegetables, wiped her hands. After hearing what Xia Yuanjun said, she immediately became interested.

"How come this body is still strong!"

In the photo, Xia Li was still sitting on the sofa with his usual look. Facing the camera of Xia Yuanjun's mobile phone, he looked away uncomfortably.

Fang Xia is very familiar with her son and can notice every subtle change in Xia Li's body.

Not only is he taller and stronger...even his temperament is like a different person.

If this handsome face had not changed much, Fang Xia would have suspected that Xia Yuanjun had recognized the wrong son.

"Really? It's been such a short time since we last saw each other, and he has changed so much!" Xia Yuanjun exclaimed.

They also have their son's graduation photo from June. Compared with the tall and thin Xia Li in the photo, Xia Li now looks very healthy.

He is simply the ideal son in every mother's mind.

"Huh? Wait..."

Fang Xia's observation ability was not as careless as Xia Yuanjun's. She moved her eyes away from Xia Li and scanned every corner of the photo.

Then I realized something was wrong.

"Why is there a plastic bag on the sofa in the living room?"

"plastic bag?"

Xia Yuanjun took off his glasses and held his phone far away before he saw the plastic bag Fang Xia was talking about.

“What’s wrong with plastic bags?”

"I've seen the brand on this plastic bag in a shopping mall," Fang Xia said with certainty, "This is a store that sells girls' underwear."

"Our son has this habit?"

"…You, you would rather suspect that your son has a problem than suspect that he is dating someone???"

Fang Xia questioned Xia Yuanjun with an expression of disbelief.

"Ahem," Xia Yuanjun cleared his throat lightly, "It shouldn't be like this. How could there be little girls' things in his house?"

"Maybe he's in love."

Fang Xia looked at the photo again, her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, with an expression like the great detective Sherlock Holmes.

Xia Yuanjun: “…”

"Xia Li is in her twenties now, so it's normal for her to have a boyfriend, right?" Xia Yuanjun didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"It's normal," Fang Xia said, "but it's not normal to hide it from us!"

Xia Yuanjun thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth.

Their family is so open-minded that no matter what decision Xia Li makes, the old couple will choose to support him.

How come you have to hide your relationship from your parents even though you are already adults?
Thinking back to the week when Xia Li suddenly disappeared, even Xia Yuanjun felt that there was something strange about this matter.

"I remember..."

Suddenly, Xia Yuanjun's eyes were opened.

"I went to the restroom today and saw two toothbrushes hanging on Xia Li's washbasin.

One is a blue toothbrush for adults, and the other is a white cat-headed children’s toothbrush!”
