My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 89 We are, pure love!

It was difficult to explain to Lucia the difference between 'pure friendship' and 'couple'.

The fundamental problem of this matter lies with Xia Li himself.

He told Lucia at the beginning that pure friendship is more powerful than lovers.

So if we tell Lucia now that we are a couple, in Lucia's mind, our relationship will be downgraded, which will make her feel frustrated.

So, Xia Li didn't rush to explain anything to Lucia.

It just told Lucia that their relationship was evolving into something more than just friendship.

Lucia was very easy to fool. When she heard that her relationship with Xia Li was developing in a good direction, she was happy to accept it.

Xia Li said that the final stage of their "pure friendship" is -

Pure love!

……

"Thank you, master."

"It's okay. Walk slowly."

After closing the car door, the irritable driver smiled at Xia Li, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"Let's go."

At the entrance of the community, the cold autumn rain blew on my face as thin as spider threads.

Both of them were wet from the rain, Xia Li's hair was dripping, and Lucia's back was wet.

The rain was still falling, and Lucia followed Xia Li upstairs wearing a hat.

In the corridor, the broken voice-controlled light was still just as useless as it had been when Lucia first arrived.

Xia Li stomped his feet but failed to turn on the voice-controlled light, so he took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.

"Be careful, the ground is slippery." He said to Lucia behind him.

"Then I'll hold your hand."

When she heard the danger, Lucia's little hand naturally stretched out from her sleeve.

Xia Li: “…”

That's how he was hooked by the dragon!

Without saying a word, he grabbed the dragon claw. In the dark corridor, the bright flashlight shone on the ground and then on Lucia's clean face.

The sound of the two people's footsteps echoed in my ears.

Looking at Lucia's lips that were naturally pursed together, Xia Li's heart began to beat again.

Was that the dragon’s first kiss?
It probably doesn't count.

After all, she herself didn't know she was kissed.

Moreover, this time it was neither Xia Li who took the initiative to kiss him, nor was it Elong who took the initiative to kiss him.

Purely accidental.

Or just pretend nothing happened...

Otherwise Lucia would ask so many questions like a curious baby.

There's no why. The reason I ask is that I think I like you. There's no reason to like you, so don't ask!
Xia Li thought secretly in his heart.

However, it is still difficult to get a confession out of him.

Like most families with Chinese-style education, the Xia Li family rarely mentions the words "like" and "love".

For children who grow up in such an environment, expressing emotions is a very awkward thing.

"Ok?"

Lucia looked up and saw that Xia Li, who was walking in front of her, not only did not look at the road, but also turned back to look at her, so she became a little confused.

"Why are you looking at me?" Xia Li took the initiative.

"..."

Lucia frowned and said nothing.

Xia Li is acting weird today...

He is very aggressive, but he has no hostility towards himself at all.

It wasn't a kind of impatience, but it gave Lucia a feeling that he was much softer than usual...

Lucia, who couldn't understand human behavior, decided not to think about it anymore.

The two of them walked around the stairs to the second floor, one in front and one behind. The door of the neighbor's house downstairs was half open, and warm light shone out from inside.

Xia Li slowed down and took a look inside.

"Yeah, Xia Li."

At the top of the stairs, a human female was struggling to carry an earthen jar down the stairs.

"Sister Zhao, what are you doing?"

Neighbor Zhao Qin walked to her door with difficulty. She put the jar on the ground and took a deep breath.

"Isn't there a red alert for storms tonight? I thought the things on the roof would be damaged, so I quickly moved them back home."

Zhao Qin put her hands on her hips and exhaled. The water drops on her forehead were not sure if they were sweat or rain, but mixed together and fell down.

There was bean paste in the earthenware jar at her feet. This is a specialty of Shu Province. Most of the older generation can make it at home. "How much more do you have? Let me help you."

Xia Li rolled up his sleeves, picked up the jar on the ground and helped put it into the house.

It is very common for neighbors to help each other. Fang Xia often left Xia Li at Zhao Qin's house when she was at work. Xia Li was also willing to do his best for this neighbor.

"Then thank you for your help. There are still several more tanks. I'll take you for a tour."

Zhao Qin was not polite either. She smiled and spoke while exhaling.

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the little girl next to Xia Li, and the smile in her eyes became even more intense.

This smile reminded Xia Li of the smile Fang Xia might have shown to Lucia. They were exactly the same.

"Come in and sit down. There is a hair dryer on my shoe cabinet. Feel free to use it." She patted Xia Li's shoulder and said, "Let's go. Don't let your girlfriend wait too long."

It only takes a few minutes to run two trips.

Xia Li followed Zhao Qin upstairs, and Lucia was not idle either, following behind with a grunt.

Zhao Qin thought the girl wanted to go back by herself first, but when they arrived at the door of their home on the third floor, she didn't even look at them and followed them upstairs.

The wind on the roof was stronger than downstairs, and the rain was also heavier. When I stood at the air vent and spoke, my voice was muffled as if through a layer of film.

"There are only a few jars here. They have glass lids. Be careful not to scratch your hands..."

Before she finished her words, Zhao Qin watched the pretty girl walk directly into the rain, then she squatted down.

The earthen jar containing 30 kilograms of pickled bean paste, which weighed more than 40 kilograms including the jar, almost the same weight as a large bucket of mineral water, was held so lightly in Xia Li's girlfriend's arms.

Zhao Qin was stunned.

"It's okay, she's very strong."

Xia Li also carried a jar downstairs, and not long after, the two of them returned.

Zhao Qin pickled five jars in total, and most of these five jars were made for her neighbors.

She looked at Xia Li and the little girl walking back and forth, feeling emotional.

Wow, Chen Tao is right.

Ren Xiaolu has a very good personality. Although she talks less, she is really honest and hardworking.

A little girl like this... has no father or mother.

How pitiful.

I hope this kid from the Xia family will be nicer to her.

"Hurry up, go back and take a hot shower and blow dry your hair, don't catch a cold."

Zhao Qin took out a clean towel from home and wiped the little girl's hair.

"Are you hungry? I just got off work and was preparing to make some noodles. There's still a lot of meat at home. You can take a shower and come down to eat some!"

Zhao Qin was very enthusiastic. Although she said an invitation, her attitude was actually not to be refused.

This is exactly the same as Ms. Fang from Xia Li's family.

Xia Li used toilet paper to wipe his hair. He was not treated as well as Lucia to use a towel. The crumpled tissue left pieces of debris on his hair, like snow.

"Okay, we'll come down in a bit."

Considering that he would definitely take Lucia back to see Fang Xia in the future, Xia Li accepted Zhao Qin's invitation.

This can be regarded as a way for Lucia to adapt to the warm hospitality of middle-aged women in advance.

"Thank you, Xiaolu, you are such a sensible child... If Xia Li bullies you in the future, just tell us and we, the neighbors in the entire building, will stand up for you!" Zhao Qin grabbed Lucia's hand with some heartache and said earnestly.

Lucia didn't know how to deal with this situation. She could only nod and hide behind Xia Li.

"I'll take her up first."

Xia Li took Lucia upstairs.

Looking back at the guy who was grinning secretly with his head down, he asked again.

"How about helping humans to gain happiness?"

"This is my first time helping an adult human..."

The corners of Lucia's mouth curled up into a smile.

When she helped the human cubs before, Lucia gained candy and pears.

But helping adult humans is different. What she gains is no longer something substantial, but a commitment.

"Xia Li, you will never be able to beat me again!"

Lucia put on her ugly fish-mouth slippers at the door with a smirk on her face.

"…Why do you say that?" Xia Li asked.

"Once I get to know the neighbors here, they will all join me."

Demonstrating one's own value in human society is much easier than Lucia imagined.

Just be a good dragon!

When she fully blends into society and becomes friends with Xia Li's neighbors...

By then, Xia Li would definitely not dare to send her back casually!
