My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 272: Pressing the Hero Under

The nights are long and the island's climate changes unpredictably.

In the second half of the night, heavy rain accompanied by strong sea breeze swept across the coastal city.

The slender tall trees on the beach were bent by the wind, and their tangled broad leaves looked like green cigars, so long that they seemed to reach the sky.

"Cough cough..."

In her hazy sleep, Lucia seemed to hear the sound of wind whistling in her ears.

She felt like she was high in the air.

There was wind and waves in the air, as well as boiling magma.

The high-temperature lava tightly wrapped her body. She seemed to be swimming in magma. The temperature on the surface of her body was incredibly hot, and the strong resistance made it difficult for her hands and feet to move.

Lucia tried to turn over.

The sore muscles pulled on the swollen joints, and Lucia gasped in pain.

"Cough cough cough,"

Whenever she breathed, it felt like an ant was crawling in her throat, making it so itchy that she had to cough to relieve the itch.

"Ya..."

“Lucia!!”

While Lucia was in a daze, she seemed to hear someone calling her.

Her eyelids seemed to be glued shut, and Lucia had to move twice before she could barely squint her eyes.

Just seeing a vague outline, Lucia felt a lot more at ease.

She raised her arms and hugged the person next to her, leaning her head against him drowsily.

"It seems to be raining outside..." she whispered.

The girl's voice was full of distress, and her thick nasal tone sounded sticky. Combined with her red cheeks and hot body temperature, Xia Li felt distressed.

"You have a fever."

Xia Li didn't even need to check the temperature of her forehead to be sure of Lucia's current physical condition.

It was exactly the same as when Xia Li caught a cold and had a fever in the middle of the night when he was a child.

Sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, and fever.

Even the symptoms are so similar.

"Fever? No..."

Lucia didn't try to open her eyes again, but just fell her head on Xia Li's chest.

She searched the word "fever" on Baidu through her mobile phone last night.

Generally speaking, when the human body temperature exceeds 37.3 degrees, it is called a fever.

The principle is a very complicated process, which is mostly related to the body being infected with viruses or bacteria.

Fever itself is one of the manifestations of the body's immune system clearing the source of infection.

It can also be called activating the immune system.

“Do I have an immune system too…?”

This thought suddenly occurred to Lucia.

In this world, humans often talk about "antibodies" and "immunity", but Lucia has never heard of such things.

Dragons don't need antibodies.

But now, if the immune system starts to activate...

Does it also mean that my body structure, both inside and outside, is becoming more and more like "human"?

Thinking of this, Lucia hooked her arms and touched her body.

A pair of warm hands were held in front of his chest, and I don’t know what he was thinking about seriously.

"I'll cool you down."

Xia Li felt the temperature of Lucia's forehead. This astonishing body temperature really scared him.

No need to measure, the temperature is definitely above 39 degrees.

It is a high fever.

If it is a low fever caused by a cold, you just need to drink more water, keep warm, and rest for a while and it will subside on its own.

But high fever is not okay.

High fever must be cooled down physically.

Especially the head.

If the temperature is not lowered in time, there is a risk of burning the brain.

That level is not just an ordinary cold or flu.

It will leave sequelae.

"wait for me."

Xia Li immediately thought of a solution, let go of Lucia's hand and turned to go to the bathroom.

"Xia Li..."

As soon as he left, Lucia, who was in a daze, seemed to have lost her soul.

It is said that when a girl lies in the arms of her beloved boy, she will automatically become weak and can't help but rely on him.

But when the beloved boy leaves, all that is left is self-reliance.

As soon as Xia Li left, Lucia's alarm bells suddenly rang and she sat up with the help of her arms.

Out of the instinctive sense of crisis when one is biologically weak, Lucia curled herself up and stared blankly at the hazy figure in the bathroom light.

Xia Li returned with a towel soaked in cold water.

I saw Lucia hugging her knees like a frightened cat. She was sitting in a corner, her black hair draped over her snow-white shoulders, looking very pitiful.

"This is a bit cold, please be careful."

In order to avoid scaring Lucia with the cold touch, Xia Li moved very gently.

He helped Lucia lie down slowly and gently placed the half-wrung towel on her forehead.

"Xia Li..."

Lucia muttered to herself and reached out to grab Xia Li again.

Xia Li held her little hand over, then squatted down, soaked another towel in the basin of water for a few times, and then used the wet towel to wipe her body to cool her down.

"It would be nice if there was alcohol. Alcohol cools down quickly."

As he spoke, Xia Li's eyes fell on the package of souvenirs he bought today.

The bottle of rum I bought for Lao Xia might come in handy...

"Xia Li..."

Lucia's voice was thick and weak. Every time she called Xia Li's name, Xia Li felt his heart trembling.

But this dragon still liked to miss him, so Xia Li quickly put down what he was doing and bent down to check on her condition.

"Do you feel uncomfortable? I've boiled some hot water for you. Drink some and then lie down to sleep. Drinking more water helps detoxify. If you have a cold or are sick, you should drink more hot water to expel bacteria and viruses from your body, which will help you get better faster..."

After Xia Li finished muttering, he suddenly felt as if he was possessed by Ms. Fang.

When he was sick with a cold as a child, Fang Xia would stay by his side, repeating the same words over and over again.

As expected, Lucia and Xia Li had the same reaction and began to feel sleepy as they listened.

Xia Li wiped Lucia's arms and thighs with cold water, and then poured the boiled hot water into the cup.

After adding some mineral water and feeling that the temperature was about right, he woke Lucia up to drink some water.

Lucia drank a big cup.

"Go on to sleep."

Xia Li said in a gentle voice.

It is actually impossible to say that you are not anxious.

Xia Li is extremely anxious now.

A high fever is not something that can be solved by sleeping.

Lucia's current state cannot be ignored.

But considering that this was her first time being sick, Xia Li didn't want to scare her, so she tried to communicate with her in a relaxed tone as much as possible.

As long as Lucia fell asleep, Xia Li would immediately change her clothes and go out to buy antipyretics.

Even though it was raining and stormy outside, and even though he had no idea where the pharmacy was.

Xia Li has a mouth that can ask for directions, and the determination to buy medicine for Lucia even if the world ends.

"I don't want to cause you any trouble..."

Seeing Xia Li was about to leave, Lucia grabbed him in a half-awake and half-asleep state.

Her voice was still so soft, and her eyes were so tender that they seemed to melt people.

Lucia sincerely didn't want to trouble Xia Li.

Although she had never thought of being a useless dragon who only ate and drank for free from the beginning, she also wanted to do her best to contribute to her and Xia Li's small family, to make money to support her family, and to carve out a big dragon's nest.

But many times I am unable to do so.

She earns 1,200 yuan a month working outside, which is not even enough for her to eat.

Help with some housework, but he is always clumsy and needs Xia Li to teach him everything.

From the moment she first arrived on Earth, Lucia felt like a burdensome dragon.

Even now.

He was obviously afraid that Xia Li would worry about his health, so he concealed his illness, thinking that he would be well in two days.

Unexpectedly, the condition worsened that night and was finally discovered by Xia Li.

Lucia felt that she always managed to do things very badly.

When a dragon is weak, it also feels the most useless.

Her eyes were red and a little wet.

Xia Li looked at her sad expression and her heart melted into a pool of water.

"What do you mean by 'cause trouble'?"

Xia Li sighed, pulled the chair over and sat next to her.

"Your business is my business. Do you also find it troublesome when you are dealing with your own business?"

"But I didn't use it..."

"Who said that?"

Xia Li interrupted Lucia's thoughts of continuing.

He thought Lucia must be delirious with fever.

This dragon is so tough-mouthed and so optimistic at heart, he will only give up on himself when he is confused.

"I would die without you, so you are as important to me as fish is to water," said Xia Li.

"You can't die..."

Lucia muttered.

She raised her warm hands and held Xia Li's face.

Those beautiful golden-brown eyes were full of affection.

Lucia looked so delicate and pitiful in her sick state that Xia Li wanted to hold her in his arms.

But Lucia’s body temperature is high now, and holding her in my arms will affect her body’s heat dissipation, so I can’t hold her in my arms.

"Would you mind not leaving?"

When Lucia saw Xia Li was about to turn around again, she quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from leaving.

Xia Li had no choice but to sit down again and nodded.

……

The second half of the night with heavy rain passed quickly.

Dawn is breaking and day is almost dawning.

The street lights in the alleys were still on. Under the chaotic sky, occasionally one or two lonely lights swayed in the wind, casting mottled shadows on the puddle-filled ground.

"Ah-"

The itch on her nose made Lucia sneeze loudly.

She sat up suddenly and suddenly saw a faint light in the sky outside the window.

The sky was clean and pure after the rainstorm. Outside the window, the sea and the sky were one color. After the tide receded, the beach was left with traces of wind and waves. The blue color of the morning light filled the entire field of vision.

Lucia moved her arms and tried to clear her throat again.

My body aches no more.

My throat isn't itchy anymore!

resurrection!

She knew it.

With my strong physique, I won't be knocked down.

My memory of last night is a bit fuzzy.

Lucia recalled that when she fell asleep, she held onto Xia Li and wouldn't let him leave.

At that time, I really wanted to throw myself into Xia Li’s arms and act coquettishly... but unfortunately I didn’t have the strength.

Later, Xia Li held her hand for a long time.

Lucia couldn't remember when he let go.

I only remember that when I was least conscious, Xia Li stuffed two white pills into my mouth.

The pills were very bitter and Lucia didn't know how to swallow them. She almost coughed them out several times. Xia Li held her mouth and fed her the pills.

At that time, Lucia felt the smell of wet rain and soil...

Xia Li must have gone out in the heavy rain and bought medicine for her!

Thinking of this, Lucia suddenly woke up and hurried to check on the person next to her. However, the figure who should have been lying next to her disappeared.

Following the scent, Lucia looked up.

She saw Xia Li beside the bed.

It is different from the scene where a loved one is sick and the family members wait by the bedside all night, and then fall asleep beside the bed at dawn.

Xia Li didn't sleep.

He sat on a chair, his fingers intertwined, a long sword resting between his palms.

The long sword supported his body like a crutch, as if if the sword fell, the person supporting it would fall as well.

Xia Li didn't close his eyes all night.

People only grab weapons when they are in danger.

Perhaps for Xia Li, Lucia's illness was the most dangerous thing he had ever encountered in his life.

Lucia felt pain in her eyes.

It's raining in my eyes.

The man sitting in front of her was not only her hero, but also her knight.

"Are you feeling better?"

Xia Li's voice was quite hoarse.

The chair, which had not moved for a long time, creaked as his back moved.

His trouser legs were still dripping with water, his wet clothes were sticking to his skin, and the pair of shoes on his feet left a trail of muddy footprints on the ground.

There are no pharmacies around here.

The supporting facilities in the small country are not as complete as those in China, and there are almost no shops open at night.

Xia Li ran dozens of kilometers in the heavy rain.

The last bit of antipyretic medicine was actually obtained from a kind-hearted owner in a tavern.

Because there were only two pills, he couldn't let Lucia spit them out, so he had to feed her the pills no matter what.

Rubbing his eyes, Xia Li walked to the bedside and reached out to test the temperature of Lucia's forehead.

In the meantime, he has tried the temperature many times.

Each time Lucia's temperature dropped until it returned to normal.

"Wow, Xia Li, I will never get sick again!"

Lucia couldn't bear it any longer.

It's really raining in my eyes now.

She rushed over, hugged Xia Li, and kept wiping her tears on Xia Li's wet clothes.

Lucia thought of what Zhou Anqi said to her a few days ago.

'Have you decided whether he is the one you should entrust your life to?'

If there was a chance, Zhou Anqi would ask again.

Lucia would answer without hesitation: Definitely!
Apart from entrusting herself to Xia Li, she really has no one to rely on in this world.

Moreover, she could only entrust herself to Xia Li.

Because she can only love Xia Li in this life.

"Don't say that."

Xia Li rubbed the dragon's head. He felt a little tired, but he was very satisfied after seeing Lucia recover.

"It's inevitable, all humans get sick, and now you're human too."

Colds and fevers are common symptoms of human diseases.

What's more, fever is a manifestation of immune activation.

Lucia survived her first illness, which proved that she had the corresponding resistance.

"Woo woo, if I get sick again, you'll beat me..."

"Why should I hit you?"

"Woo woo woo, I'm a human now, so I will definitely be able to feed your baby dragon in the future."

"……what are you saying?"

The dragon was mumbling gibberish.

Xia Li seriously doubted whether she was still running a fever and was still in a confused state.

Xia Li took Lucia's temperature again.

No fever, everything is normal.

Aside from the stickiness around her neck, which made her smell like a dragon that had been sweating all night, Lucia was in perfect health.

"Woo."

Lucia sniffed.

This time it was the snot of being touched, not the snot of being sick.

She nestled in Xia Li's arms and cried for a while.

Lucia remembered that Xia Li had been tossing and turning all night without closing his eyes, so he quickly pulled Xia Li over and gave her his pillow and quilt, which kept him warm.

She had already warmed the bed, so Xia Li just needed to lie down and go to sleep.

"You will feel very weak after having a high fever. I bought you two cans of the common eight-treasure porridge in China. I will heat it up for you later..."

Xia Li was not ready to rest yet, so Lucia pressed his shoulders and pushed him back.

"I know how to heat up the porridge!"

If Xia Li continued to hold on like this, she would be heartbroken.

"You can't use dragon heat, the jar will melt."

"I'm not that stupid!"

At this time, Xia Li was indeed very sleepy, and his eyelids were drooping.

If he doesn't rest, he will probably be the next to fall.

“…There are also biscuits and bread in the bag.”

Before resting, Xia Li added worriedly while changing clothes.

Lucia couldn't bear to listen anymore and her dragon tail kept shaking.

Xia Li just took too good care of her, she was fussy and thoughtful about everything...

Who will be the mother and who will be the father in the future?
"go to bed!"

"..."

Xia Li lay on the bed and looked up at the evil dragon lying on his chest.

No, where is the female dragon who was crying shyly just now?

Why did he suddenly become so vicious?

She even has a bit of the unique temperament of girls from Sichuan Province...

I'm afraid the next sentence will be "I'm the master of Shushan"?
Without much struggle, Xia Li closed his eyes and rested.

He slept soundly during the day.

I haven't fully adjusted to the time difference, so sleeping during the day is equivalent to sleeping at night in China time.

Eyes closed and opened.

The time has turned to evening again.

Xia Li seemed to hear someone talking in his ear.

"Yeah, Auntie, we'll be back in a few days..."

"I'm not tired. Xia Li took good care of me."

"He's still resting. We have a time difference here, so our sleep patterns aren't very regular."

"We can't wake him up yet... It's okay, I'm not hungry, and there's still a lot of dry food in the room."

"Okay, let's stop chatting for now. Goodbye, Auntie. You guys should also go to bed early... No, it seems like it's still morning over there... Good morning, Auntie, take care of yourself..."

Lucia hid in the bathroom, holding Xia Li's cell phone and talking in a low voice.

Aunt Fang called her on WeChat just now. Lucia was afraid of disturbing Xia Li, so she took the phone to the bathroom to answer it.

The two hadn't spoken to each other for a long time, so they chatted about family matters for a few minutes.

Finally, Lucia hung up the phone and returned to the room to see Xia Li had sat up.

Dragon Knight awakens!
"my mother?"

"Yeah, your mom!"

Xia Li turned his head to look at Lucia, and seeing that she was in high spirits, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The first feeling when I wake up, besides feeling very comfortable after a good sleep, is hunger.

Including the meal he had yesterday evening, Xia Li hasn't eaten for almost twenty-four hours.

I even ran for more than ten kilometers in the rain, and all the energy my body could consume had long been used up.

I guess even the reserve fat has been burned up, and the next step is to break down the protein.

"You must be starving, so I'll give you this."

Lucia seemed to have guessed Xia Li's situation.

She had already finished the two cans of eight-treasure porridge on the bedside table, but she prepared new food for Xia Li.

Fresh seafood fried rice!
"Where did it come from?"

Xia Li's eyes widened when he saw the fragrant rice appearing from the evil dragon's hands as if by magic.

My body, which was already in a hungry state, had an extreme desire for this fried rice.

Xia Li took the food almost subconsciously, and put it into his mouth while sitting on the bed.

Don't mention it, it's still steaming.

I must have estimated his wake-up time long ago.

"Hey hey... I just went downstairs to pack."

Lucia proudly shook her silver dragon tail and said complacently.

"Eat, eat! The chef even gave me half a roast chicken!"

Sometimes your face can really be eaten.

In the past, this face of hers was a wanted person in the Aize continent, but on Earth... everyone was very friendly to her.

Even if there is no language barrier, clumsy gestures can win the patience of most people on Earth.

Lucia lifted her clothes and took the roast chicken out from under her belly.

Because he was afraid that the roast chicken would be cold after Xia Li got up, he used his body to keep it warm.

Although the dragon is a very stupid dragon.

But no matter what, she can learn it!
Give the milky roast chicken to Xia Li.

Xia Li stared at the white belly that she had just lifted up, her eyes fixed.

To be honest, what I’m craving for right now is not the roast chicken.

Peel off the tin foil and take a big bite of the chicken.

Staring at this sweet and delicious dragon while eating is very appetizing.

“It didn’t rain today.”

After finishing all the food that Lucia had packed up, Xia Li glanced out the window.

It was pitch black outside, but the ground was dry under the street lights.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Xia Li suggested.

After all, they are traveling together. Strictly speaking, they are now in their 'honeymoon' period.

Now that we are here to play, we must have fun.

However, Lucia seemed completely uninterested.

She shook her head: "I'm not going out to play today."

"It's okay. I still have money here. I can send a message and earn several thousand dollars. Don't worry."

Xia Li thought that Long didn't want to go out to play because of money, so he explained.

Lucia continued to shake her head.

She took the packing box from Xia Li's hand and threw it on the side of the bed.

Xia Li tilted his head to look.

I thought to myself, this dragon is usually so clean, why is he acting so weird today?

If you have a fever once, not only will your body develop resistance, but your personality will also change.

Xia Li's tilted head was suddenly turned back by Lucia.

Turning his head back to normal, Xia Li leaned against the bed, staring blankly at the dragon that was getting closer and closer to him.

"Ok?"

Lucia climbed onto the bed and pressed one knee against the edge.

She leaned sideways, her hands already on Xia Li's face. Her beautiful golden-brown almond-shaped eyes still had some moisture from before, and a firm light seemed to flicker in the center of her eyes.

"Flip a coin."

Her pink lips slightly parted as Lucia spoke softly, her moist and sweet breath filling her nostrils.

"What??"

The atmosphere in the air suddenly took a turn for the worse, becoming sweet and ambiguous.

Xia Li's heart was pounding as he looked at the girl who suddenly sat on his chest.

The girl pulled at his collar and continued.

“Toss a coin, if it’s heads I’m up, and if it’s tails I’m down.”
