My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 74: The Dragon, the Hero

There is no fog in Qingcheng City today.

The dark cloud hanging in the sky finally condensed into rain and fell down in thin drops.

Xia Li took two transparent umbrellas with him when he went out. When he reached the corridor entrance, he opened an umbrella for Lucia first.

As a dragon that is not afraid of even the backflow of sea water, Lucia is somewhat pretentious about holding an umbrella to avoid the rain.

However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do…

Standing in the rain, watching the raindrops "patter" on the transparent umbrella and listening to the knocking sound on the top of her head, Lucia's eyes were bright.

It's rare to be able to listen to the sounds of nature.

The rhythmic and random sound of raindrops makes people feel peaceful.

"Xia Li, add the sugar. It's exactly the same as the sugar in the kitchen."

Lucia raised a finger and scratched the transparent umbrella.

Fine raindrops formed into water droplets and flowed down the wall of the umbrella.

If it was her a week ago, she would definitely exclaim, "What a powerful light film magic!"

Now, instead of using 'magic' to understand these strange things, Lucia has a new way of understanding.

"Yeah, it's sweet. If you don't believe me, try it."

Xia Li opened his umbrella, and the umbrella in his hand touched Lucia's in the rain, and the two of them kept a little distance from each other.

"Ah~"

Lucia held her head high and caught the rain with her tongue.

Thankfully, Silly Dragon at least knew to put away his umbrella before tasting the rain.

But she would really believe Xia Li's nonsense.

"It has no taste." Lucia smacked her lips.

"..."

Because it rained today, the breakfast cart outside the building closed up early.

Xia Li took Lucia to a noodle restaurant in an old alley.

Noodles in Sichuan Province are sold by weight. Lucia can eat three or two bowls of noodles by herself, plus a bowl of kelp soup and a boiled egg.

Every time he saw her, a little girl, eating so much, Xia Li couldn't help but eat a little more.

If this continues, both the man and the dragon will definitely get fat.

"Xia Li, did I eat too much?"

On the way out of the noodle shop, Lucia twirled the umbrella in her hand, and the high-speed spinning water splashed everywhere, hitting Xia Li's arm.

Xia Li calmly wiped the water off his sleeves, wondering how this evil dragon could have learned to reflect on itself.

"Not much, it's normal."

"The girls at the next table only eat a small bowl." Lucia added.

Lucia had gone out to eat with Xia Li several times, but she was still a little uncomfortable with the scene of eating with dozens of humans.

She has a hobby of snatching things, so even if she doesn't snatch now, she will still be curious and go to see what the people at the next table are eating.

As a result, I found that compared with them, I seemed to be able to eat a lot.

When Lucia first landed, Xia Li looked down on her for eating two extra pieces of bread. Now Xia Li wanted to send her back, but since she was a glutton, she would definitely be looked down upon even more.

So, you have to control your appetite!
"She's human and you're a dragon. It's normal for you to eat a little more."

But this time, Xia Li didn't show any disdain. Instead, he said, "It's better to eat more. Eating more will help you grow taller."

After walking around the outside of Shangdong Chaoyang Community for a long time, Xia Li arrived at the gate of the next community.

Although his community has a security guard and a mail room, the old man who guards the door has a bad memory and express deliveries are always lost. Later, they were all placed at the post station next door, and residents of the community had to go to the post station to pick them up on their own.

The distance is not far, just 50 meters walk.

Behind Xia Li, Lucia followed quietly with an umbrella. Occasionally, when she saw uneven puddles of water at her feet, she would step into them with her little white shoes. The "tapping" sound of the water was very amusing to her.

"7301, it's over there, go get it."

Arriving at the express delivery station, Xia Li took a look at the pickup code on his mobile phone and said to Lucia.

Lucia shook the umbrella like Xia Li did, and then went to the shelf to look for the password Xia Li mentioned without stopping.

This simple decryption method was not difficult for her.

It took Lucia less than two minutes to find what Xia Li wanted on the shelf. She looked at the action of the person next to her putting the box on the red light for scanning, and Lucia imitated it carefully and successfully picked up the item.

Xia Li watched at the door the whole time.

Lucia is a little clumsy, but she has strong learning and imitation abilities.

With such talent, it shouldn't be difficult to let her do more complicated things or even work in the future.

At this rate, it is only a matter of time before evil dragons become part of society...

The premise is that she is willing to stay on Earth.

"Give me the heavy ones, and you take the light ones."

Xia Li also had two express parcels in her hands, which contained some clothes.

Lucia took the larger item, which was filled with books and notebooks and probably weighed more than ten kilograms.

"I'll take the heavy one!"

Lucia leaned sideways, protecting the big box in her hands like a dragon guarding treasure, not letting Xia Li touch it at all.

Who are you looking down on?
With this little weight, she can lift it with her dragon tongue!
Lucia knew that if she wanted to integrate into modern life, she had to demonstrate her own value and she couldn't just be a glutton.

She, the silver dragon, is not a race that eats for free.

In addition to washing dishes, she can also help Xia Li with many things...

It was a wrong decision for Xia Li to send her back in such a hurry!

"Humph."

The evil dragon grunted twice and walked forward holding the book that was wider than her shoulders.

When she came into the rain, Lucia realized that she was holding things in her hands and couldn't hold an umbrella.

Just as she was about to turn around and tell Xia Li, Lucia's vision darkened and an umbrella held high was quietly propped up above her head.

Xia Li, holding an umbrella for her.

She watched the fine raindrops falling from above, and before they landed on her face, they were blocked by the transparent plastic film.

The back of Xia Li's head was already covered with water droplets.

This brave man who, in order to let her go home, was willing to put himself in a world he didn't like for more than ten years, and spent so much time and energy on a futile thing...

And he said she was stupid.

It’s obvious that Xia Li himself is a fool.

Oh yes.

Lucia suddenly remembered.

Xia Li said that he has retired and he is no longer a hero. His mission is to protect Lucia, a dragon.

That being said...

Isn’t the hero just a dragon hero like her?

"Lucia, please stand a little further inside. This umbrella is too small and the rain will get on my back."

Lucia stared at Xia Li with her clear and bright eyes for a long time.

Xia Li was not idle either, and was busy calculating in his mind.

"Oh oh."

After hearing this, Lucia pushed herself towards Xia Li's chest without saying a word.

"so?"

"A little further in."

"so…?"

From the back of the head to the back, Lucia's entire body was pressed against Xia Li, and Xia Li hadn't called for a stop yet.

"That's almost it, move a little closer to my arm." Xia Li said again.

Lucia did as she was told and moved her shoulders to put Xia Li's wrist on her own shoulders.

At first glance, it looked as if Xia Li was holding him in his arms.

Seeing this, the corners of Xia Li's mouth began to curl up wildly.

"That's it. That's all."
