My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 40: Dragon Attack
The temperature after autumn is always erratic, and it is cooler in the morning and evening. It is just right to wear a sweater at home.

But at noon, the scorching sun feels like a pancake sticking to your scalp, making you feel anxious.

Xia Li and Chen Tao came out of the restaurant and waited.

Lucia went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Don't be fooled by this dragon-like creature. It never takes care of its appearance when in dragon form. But once it transforms into a human form, it becomes very clean and likes to wash its dragon claws whenever it has nothing to do.

However, it is also possible that he has learned how to make bubbles with hand soap... maybe he is playing with bubbles in the bathroom.

"How long have you been living together?"

Chen Tao held a toothpick in his mouth, with a serious expression and his eyes looking into the distance.

He's now in a 'hey, I'm going to question you, bro' kind of attitude.

"Three days." Xia Li replied immediately.

Chen Tao took a breath and said, "Xiao Lu looks quite young... She lives with you. Does her family know about this?"

Xia Li originally thought that he was mentally prepared to answer any question.

As a result, Chen Tao's first question made him silent.

Lucia's family?

Xia Li had heard Lucia say that she saw her mother when she broke out of her shell.

However, the dragon clan has a weak sense of family affection and are accustomed to a dragon living alone on a mountain. After a newborn dragonlet masters the ability to fly, it will be driven out of the nest by the mother dragon and live alone.

As for her father...Lucia had never seen her father.

"You...you are not eloping?"

Seeing Lao Xia's hesitant expression, Chen Tao also became hesitant.

I'm not saying anything bad to you, brother. If such a beautiful girl says she wants to go with you, then she will go with you. I won't ask whether Xiao Lucheng is an adult or not, but the two of you living together now, it's easy for someone to get killed!
It's fine to keep it a secret from Aunt Fang for now, but as for the girl...if she lives with the boy without telling her parents, then when the girl's father comes to find her, won't there be a big fuss?

The more Chen Tao thought about it, the more confused he became, and his face became distorted.

He saw with his own eyes how special Old Xia was taking care of Xiao Lu. Before this, Chen Tao had never seen Old Xia treat anyone other than his parents in this way.

I think my brother is sincere about this relationship.

But it is precisely because we treat it sincerely that we need the support of our family even more.

"Why don't we make a phone call and communicate with Xiaolu's family..." Chen Tao suggested from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Li thought for a while before speaking frankly.

"She has no family."

"..."

This time it was Chen Tao's turn to shut up.

I had thought of countless reasons in my mind for Xiao Lu to come to Xia Li and even live with Xia Li at the most precious age of her life.

But I never thought about...

Xiaolu has no family at all.

The pair of eyes that were looking into the future withdrew from the busy streets, and Chen Tao no longer muttered in his heart, "Old Xia really deserves to die." Now that he had revealed the matter, he was the one who deserved to die.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just sighed sadly.

“It’s hard for everyone to live in this society…”

Xia Li looked at him silently.

I thought, how could you say such a thing?

"My internship will be over next month. After I become a regular employee, I will get 5 yuan a month. I will transfer yuan to you then... We are brothers, so I will give you % interest."

"The bank only gave me 3 cents, and you gave me 5 cents?"

Xia Li punched Chen Tao on the shoulder.

However, putting aside the trash talk in the second half of Chen Tao's sentence, Xia Li was still somewhat touched.

This guy is the type who likes to find trouble when he has nothing to do, and he really gets involved when there is trouble.

"I found something to do online, and I have enough funds at the moment." Xia Li said casually.

Chen Tao nodded when he heard it, then thought something was wrong and covered his arm again.

"Hiss, Xia Tou'er, your punch is quite powerful... Have you practiced it behind my back?"

He would believe that if someone said that this punch was delivered by a fitness coach with 20 years of experience.

"Your physique..." Chen Tao looked at Xia Li. It felt like he had only been away for half a month, but how come Xia had become much stronger?

Originally, Xia Li was just like him, listless and haggard like a walking corpse, but how come he has become a handsome man now? ?

Is this guy cheating?

"With your physique," Chen Tao emphasized, "Xiao Lu's body can't bear it."

Xia Li thought to herself that Xiao Lu was a dragon, and there was nothing a dragon couldn't handle.

As a result, he thought about it more and found that Chen Tao's words had a hidden meaning.

Chen Tao gave him a look that all men understood, and Xia Li rolled up his sleeves.

The two were about to start a fight when a cute little figure appeared beside them and interrupted the spell.

"Xia Li," Lucia wiped her little hands on her clothes, then raised them up and said to Xia Li.

"The hand sanitizer here has an apple scent, smell it."

The evil dragon enthusiastically put its claws in front of Xia Li's nose.

Xia Li's body began to lean back, but the evil dragon with no sense of boundaries could not understand the human's refusal.

Lucia openly covered Xia Li's nose with her hand.

There were still water droplets on the cold palm, and the little hand was wet as it pressed against Xia Li's nose.

Xia Li frowned and was forced to take a deep breath.

The claws of this evil dragon taste like black pepper, mixed with the fresh fruity scent of hand sanitizer.

This... is too...

It smells a bit too good.

Xia Li pretended to be disgusted and pushed the little hand away.

"Let's take a taxi. I still have to work when I get home."

This afternoon, Xia Li will update a few more pages of the travelogue, and some basic settings also need to be improved.

"Taking a taxi?"

Lucia was exposed to a new word.

The last time I took the bus with Xia Li, it was "taking the bus", but what does "taking a taxi" mean?
"Which car do you want to take? I'll take it."

Lucia waved her little fist in the air.

The dragon's front claws are relatively short, so even if it transforms into a human form, it is not good at boxing.

However, Lucia was confident that she could knock down any car on the road with just a tin box.

"Hailing a taxi means making a phone call to ask a vehicle to come over. You don't call with your hands, you call with a phone."

Xia Li speechlessly held down the restless dragon, and with his other hand he opened the map software and started calling an online taxi.

Behind the two of them, Chen Tao watched the scene silently.

Xiaolu doesn't even know how to take a taxi, which is a very basic way of life.

Moreover, when they were eating just now, Chen Tao discovered that Xiao Lu didn't know how to use a knife and fork... She looked like she was eating Western food for the first time.

I guess her living conditions must have been very difficult before?

After all, I have no parents and have lived a wandering life since I was a child.

This girl's life is also bitter...

Fate owes her too much, and I hope she can get the compensation she deserves from Old Xia.

Thinking of this, Chen Tao sighed.

"Don't run around, the bus will be here in two minutes."

Xia Li pulled the evil dragon that was boxing hard, but the dragon's hands were very slippery and he would surely not let go.

Turning back, Xia Li saw Taozi walking towards him with a gloomy and dark face, as if he had lost his soul.

"Old Xia, you must be nice to Xiao Lu."

I don’t know what kind of tragedy Chen Tao imagined in his mind, even his voice seemed to be vicissitudes of life.

“She has no one around her…”

"You're all she has left."
