My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 59 Pure Friendship is Indestructible

The return trip happened to coincide with the evening rush hour.

Xia Li and Lucia waited on the roadside for three buses but there were no seats available. In the end, they had no choice but to get on a bus that was not as full.

Lucia was a little tired from playing today. Her arm was barely hanging on the bracelet on the bus, and her body swayed weakly with the vehicle.

Xia Li didn't feel anything. Firstly, his physical fitness was better than Long who never left the house. Secondly, Xia Li didn't jump when he walked.

While riding...and standing in the car, Xia Li took out his cell phone with one hand and took a look at it.

I wasn't paying attention to my phone when I was playing around with Lucia this afternoon, and now there are two more comments on my Zhihu.

The contents were all quite friendly. One of them was urging for updates, and the second one was asking the author why there were settings inserted into the story. Is he planning to publish a book by writing such a detailed world view?

Xia Li typed on the nine-square grid with one hand, and casually explained that the record of experiences was such a carrier.

After turning off his phone, Xia Li glanced at Lucia who was staggering beside him.

The bus arrived at the next stop. There were quite a lot of people getting on the bus at this stop, so Xia Li pushed Lucia into the corner.

At this stage, Xia Li has not expected this travelogue to bring him any profit.

Since I wrote it with the determination to serialize it in a long series, it is normal that there is no profit before I get more exposure.

As for that comment about publishing a book...Xia Li had never thought about this step.

The record of his experiences was a way for him to make money, and he planned to spend a month on this. After a month, regardless of whether he could make money with the stories he brought from another world, Xia Li planned to find a job.

After all, serializing a travelogue is just a part-time job and cannot be a full-time job.

And now, this month will be used to accompany Lucia to get familiar with life on Earth.

"Lucia."

Lucia held the oversized lamb doll in one hand, and dozed off on the spot because she was so sleepy.

She had exercised too much today, and only raised her sleepy face when Xia Li called her for the second time.

"Uh-huh?"

“…If I go out to work, what will you do at home alone?” Xia Li asked with some concern.

"Work..." Lucia blinked her sleepy eyes, "You don't want to be a hero anymore?"

"When I returned to Earth, I retired as a hero." Xia Li said helplessly.

There are many heroes in this world now, and it is not yet the turn of a brave man who has lost his power to protect it.

Lucia thought for a moment, "So you won't protect humans anymore?"

"It's enough for me to protect you." Xia Li replied immediately.

After all, Lucia, who is alone, is a vulnerable group in this society. Xia Li should really protect her before the society becomes harmful to her, or she becomes harmful to the society.

Xia Li felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But the sudden silence between the two made Xia Li couldn't help but ponder the meaning of this sentence.

Why is it that the more I understand it, the weirder it gets...

The key point is what does it mean that the dragon suddenly stopped talking?

It made him seem as if he had suddenly said something cheesy love talk.

Why don't you say something?

Xia Li glanced sideways, his eyes falling on Lucia's pretty little face.

Lucia pinched the pull ring in her hand and turned slightly to give Xia Li her back of the head.

No, you are a dragon, why are you shy? !
It made him almost embarrassed.

Shouldn't we now return to the previous question and answer what he plans to do when he is alone at home?
Xia Li took a breath, didn't say anything, and looked out the window fiercely.

There was a big sheep between him and Lucia, and the two of them were like small duckweeds floating on the waves, swaying as the bus stopped and started.

A few more stops passed.

Vehicles entered the downtown area, and at this time of year there were many young couples out on dates.

Those people were holding hands, the boys were holding the plastic ring on the roof, the girls were holding the boys, they were talking and laughing, and occasionally the girls would shyly snuggle into the boys' arms.

Lucia's eyes slowly emerged from under the furry lamb, like the eyes of a snail, and secretly glanced at the situation outside. Lucia had seen many men and women holding hands when she was shopping in the mall last time.

The same thing happened today at the zoo.

Men will take the initiative to hold women's hands, and their hands will stick together as if by some magic, and they will be together wherever they go.

Looking at myself...

Lucia recalled that Xia Li rarely held her hand like they did.

Except when crossing the road, Xia Li would hold her hand and walk for a distance, but they basically walked their own way at other times.

Lucia didn't know how the relationship between her and Xia Li was any different from the couple next to her.

But just from the atmosphere of their conversation, their body movements, and the special feelings they have for each other in their eyes, there should be a big difference.

"Why are they all couples?"

At this time, Xia Li also discovered that Lucia was looking at the young couple next to her.

The two were a bit noisy, and as soon as they got in the car they started talking about the movie clips they had just watched.

Xia Li felt a bit hot and pushed the car window open a little.

"Couple?"

Lucia was still searching her mind for the words to describe this kind of relationship. To her, these people seemed like a couple, but something seemed to be missing.

Turns out they are a couple!
Although she was not very clear about the division of relationships in human society, Lucia subconsciously knew that lovers were probably in a better relationship than friends.

"What about us? What are we?" Lucia asked Xia Li excitedly.

"Our friendship must be pure." Xia Li said righteously.

As he spoke, he pulled at his collar to cool down.

Why did he feel like sweating all over as soon as Lucia opened her mouth?

It's so funny. I'm a righteous man, how could I feel guilty?

But when he saw Lucia's expectant eyes, Xia Li even felt his throat tighten.

no…

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

Forget about the past, but when there were physical contacts and when the dragon fed her candies, Xia Li felt nervous because the dragon looked like a beautiful girl.

He is a young man in his early twenties, and it is normal for him to have some different emotions when facing such a sincere girl.

Xia Li always regarded Lucia's innocent actions and close physical contact with him as a test of their friendship by little comrade Lucia.

In this regard, Xia Li felt that he could definitely handle it.

But now, he suddenly found that what he had to face seemed to be a mountain.

Not to mention overcoming difficulties together with Lucia, Lucia in front of Xia Li is herself an ultimate boss!

"Which is more powerful, pure friendship or being a couple?"

Lucia didn't seem satisfied with Xia Li's answer. The dragon clan is still very competitive.

"Pure friendship is much more powerful." Xia Li replied.

After all, it is more than a hundred times more difficult for a single man and a single woman to maintain a long-term friendship than a romantic relationship.

By the way, is there really pure friendship between men and women?

Xia Li thought a little hesitantly.

"Xia Li, they just talked... talked..."

Lucia clearly saw the girl stand on tiptoe and touch the boy's lips.

The newly-adult dragon had never seen such a scene before. Lucia's eyes, which appeared from behind the little lamb, stared at the scene.

"Don't look," Xia Li cursed inwardly and used his broad body to block the evil dragon.

"That's chewing the cud."
