My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 90 Attack! (5000 words)
Coming out of the bathroom, Xia Li's head was smoking and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl's bath water is so hot.

Every time Lucia entered the bathroom after taking a shower, the water from the shower was as hot as boiling water, making Xia Li scream.

I don’t know whether Lucia is not sensitive to hot water or because girls’ body temperatures are generally higher.

He grabbed a set of clothes and put them on in the small dark room.

Xia Li thought something was wrong and walked out wearing only a pair of pants.

He appeared at the door of the room with his upper body naked.

Lucia was still drying the last handful of hair, the hum of the hairdryer lingering in her ears.

As if she was aware of the gaze behind her, Lucia slowly turned around and looked at Xia Li at the door.

Xia Li rested his elbows on the door frame and supported his head with his palms.

He thought that he was very manly and that he only needed to hold a rose in his mouth to make the girl fall in love with him.

Xia Li still has some confidence in this body that has been through three years of suffering and training in the other world.

"..."

"Buzzing..."

The hair dryer was whirring as Lucia sat on the edge of the bed, blowing her hair carefully.

Xia Li: “???”

No.

Give some reaction?

"Hey, I came in to get some clothes."

Xia Li felt that his brain must have been rusty, which was why he wanted to stand in front of Lucia like this.

It felt like a male dragon performing a courtship dance, but the female dragon on the other side knew nothing and looked confused.

While rummaging through the drawers, Xia Li saw that Lucia's eyes were following him.

But after seeing his naked upper body, the evil dragon's clean and white face did not have any other reaction except for the slight blush when he just came out of the bath.

Xia Li was wondering, he had never noticed under what circumstances Lucia would blush. He felt that the evil dragon was quite thin-skinned, especially when dealing with strangers, he was so shy that he didn't seem like a real dragon.

Why has my face become thicker now?

Could it be that after getting to know Xia Li, her shyness threshold has increased?
That does not work.

If Lucia wants to realize that her love for Xia Li is the love of a lover, Xia Li's lethality is far from enough.

"Did you finish blowing?"

"Well, it's almost done."

Lucia got down from the edge of the bed and shook her head. Her soft black hair, which had not yet completely dried, fell on her shoulders.

Her jet-black hair fell to her waist, making her already petite waist look even thinner. Her rosy and plump face always made Xia Li want to take a bite of it.

"let me check."

Xia Li walked over, grabbed a strand of hair and smelled it.

"Mm, it stinks."

"I smell so good!"

Lucia was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Li's statement.

Xia Li smiled and said, "Let's go. If you don't go down, Aunt Zhao will come up with noodles."

I knocked on the door of the neighbor on the second floor, and the person who came to open the door was still an elderly middle-aged woman.

"Isn't that a coincidence? It's just cooked."

Zhao Qin opened the door enthusiastically and quickly turned back to the kitchen to get some noodles.

"Where's Uncle Chen?"

Xia Li didn't hesitate and put on shoe covers at the door.

"I'm on a business trip," Zhao Qin answered casually, "Wait a moment, I'll blanch some more leaves right away."

"Aunt Zhao, my girlfriend doesn't want any chili in her portion."

"Okay~"

A response came from the kitchen. Xia Li turned around and saw the evil dragon behind him taking off his shoes with his hands obediently.

"Don't take off your shoes, this is not our home."

Xia Li picked up a pair of shoe covers and squatted down.

Lucia took off one of her shoes, and Xia Li took the clean little white foot and spread it in the palm of his hand.

The feet without socks are smooth and tender. Maybe because they just came out of the bath, the feet are still a little wet and feel warm in the palms of my hands.

What a top-notch jade foot.

Shishasha...

"Hey, it's itchy..."

The soles of Lucia's feet were as sensitive as humans', and she shrank back because of the itch when Xia Li touched them.

But now she is outside, a high and mighty silver dragon. What is the difference between being openly teased by the brave man and being defeated?
Lucia hunched her shoulders and secretly glanced at the middle-aged woman busy in the kitchen. She frowned and looked at Xia Li with embarrassed look.

Wow, now you feel shy?
Could it be that the evil dragon's sensitive point is: "doing shameful things with Xia Li in front of strangers"?

This is so... exciting.

"Come on, we don't have much food to serve you at home, eat it while it's hot."

At the same time, Zhao Qin came out of the kitchen after serving the noodles. Xia Li quickly put shoe covers on Lucia, turned around and looked at the table full of dishes and said.

"Why are you cooking when you're eating noodles? It's too much trouble for you, Aunt Zhao."

"What's the big deal? I'm treating Xiaolu. Come here, Xiaolu, eat more."

Zhao Qin waved to Lucia cheerfully, and Lucia walked over quietly with a silent look on her face.

Seeing the huge contrast between the evil dragon in other people's homes and in his own home, Xia Li couldn't help but laugh.

How about your dragon strike? How about your storm inhalation? How about eating a whole bowl in one breath?
Zhao Qin naturally didn't know how much Lucia ate, so she just served a little more according to the average girl's appetite, about two taels of noodles.

This amount is only enough to fill the evil dragon of the Xia Li family half full.

However, this shy dragon did not show any dissatisfaction with the bowl of noodles. She carefully held the chopsticks and put a mouthful into her mouth at Zhao Qin's urging.

Noodles with marinated meat are one of the specialties of Sichuan Province.

The minced meat and bean sprouts were evenly mixed into the thin noodles, and topped with water spinach, a dish popular among people from Sichuan Province. The noodles were so delicious that Xia Li began to drool at the first sight of them.

I seldom eat this kind of thing since I left home to go to college, but today I was able to have a bite thanks to Lucia.

"Should I prepare another bowl for you?"

Seeing Lucia's restrained and shy eating style, Xia Li wanted to laugh, but still gave the evil dragon some face.

His whispered question did not get a response from Lucia, but was just a faint glance from Lucia.

Those innocent eyes seemed to be saying, "This is all I usually eat..."

"Hahaha..." Xia Li laughed out loud.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay. The noodles are delicious. Aunt Zhao's cooking skills have improved again."

"Oh, you're not as good as your mom...Xiao Fang's cooking skills are amazing."

Zhao Qin was so happy to be praised by Xia Li. At this point, she remembered something and said, "By the way, have you taken Xiaolu home?"

"Not yet." Xia Li shook his head.

Xia Li knew clearly that Zhao Qin was asking this question knowing the answer.

Whether he brought Lucia back or not, the whole community knew about it based on his wife's ability to spread the news, Ms. Fang, not to mention that Zhao Qin and Ms. Fang were in the same boat.

There are no secrets between these two old sisters.

Xia Li brought Lucia here to have supper today, one of the purposes was to get Zhao Qin to turn around and reveal some information to the other lady.

So that Ms. Fang can have a more detailed psychological expectation of Lucia's situation.

"Hey, you two have been living together for a while, you can bring him back home to meet me..."

Zhao Qin cleverly avoided the topic of Lucia's family situation.

She had heard about this kind of thing from Chen Tao a long time ago, so there was no need to expose this scar in front of Lucia.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Qin paused.

Xia Li knew that the next step would be to trigger a combo.

"How old is Xiaolu?"

"Ten... twenty-two years old."

Xia Li originally wanted to report eighteen years old according to Lucia's actual age ratio between humans and dragons, but changed his mind.

This guy’s current persona is that of my college classmate.

Eighteen years old is not a normal age.

"She looks quite young." Zhao Qin said with a smile.

"Well, she is a little shorter and has a round face, so she looks younger." Xia Li nodded.

Lucia beside him pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation.

She was eating the noodles very politely and slowly, and she even slowed down on purpose to wait for Xia Li to slurp them up too.

Xia Li suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and stuffed another mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

"Not short, not short. The girls in our area are about this height." Zhao Qin said from the bottom of her heart.

After a pause, she took out her cell phone and stated her ultimate goal.

"Well, your mother would also like to see Xiaolu, how about I take a picture of you two and send it to her?"

He was still asking, but in fact he had already opened the camera function on his phone.

Xia Li did not refuse and pulled the evil dragon next to him that was about to bury its face in the food bowl over.

Lucia knew what a camera was, a magical device that could freeze the image of a person.

Lucia didn't like having her picture taken, but she didn't know how to refuse a human female, so she could only shrink her head and rub it into the bowl as much as possible.

"Why are you shy? Come here," Xia Li pulled her.

"Get in touch with more people. You are only facing one person now. When you go to my house, you will be overwhelmed by the old couple."

Xia Li whispered to Lucia, and then added in a way that Lucia could understand.

"Those two will be great humans by then. You won't be able to handle them, so you need to practice in advance."

"Oh…"

When she heard that they were great humans, and Xia Li's parents, Lucia had to muster up the courage to face them. If she wanted to suppress Xia Li in the future, it was secondary to have a good relationship with Xia Li's neighbors. Xia Li's parents were the main target of the attack.

Judging from Xia Li's reaction the last time she received a call from her mother...

The hero's mother definitely restrains the hero.

All Lucia needs to do is win over the hero's mother to become her teammate, and then she will make the hero lose the battle right on the spot!
"We need to make a good impression on my parents,"

Xia Li held Lucia's hand, and made a cunning plan in his mind.

"Well, come over here and put your hands on my waist. That's it."

As he spoke, Xia Li picked up the evil dragon's tender little white claws and placed them on his waist, then he put his arms around Lucia's shoulders.

The moment Zhao Qin said three, two, one, he hugged Lucia even tighter.

Lucia opened her eyes wide in surprise, with a noodle stuck in the corner of her mouth, and her soft face was forced to press tightly against Xia Li.

'Click' the picture freezes again.

"Oh, what a great relationship."

Zhao Qin clicked on the photo and admired it with satisfaction.

Xia Li leaned over to take a look and was also very satisfied.

"Aunt Zhao, send me one too later."

"Row."

As they talked, the two chatted about trivial matters in life.

Although Xia Li is not sociable, he is still good at dealing with elders. What's more, Zhao Qin is the one who watched him grow up, so he didn't feel restrained when chatting.

Lucia found it difficult to fit into such an atmosphere, so after finishing her bowl of noodles, she quietly left the table.

A black shadow flashed in the corner of her sight. Lucia accidentally saw a big black and white dog hiding beside the sofa and immediately became interested.

No longer keeping a silent face like a shy good kid, the true nature of the pure-blooded silver dragon is becoming more and more unpredictable.

Lucia walked over slowly, raised her hands and clenched them in front of her chest, looking like a dragon pouncing on its prey.

The black and white dog, which had been in the corner with its tail between its legs, trying to reduce its presence, lowered its head in fear and let out a scream as if it was being eaten alive.

“Ah…Ahhh!”

“Aa ...

In the living room, Lucia chased Heizi (the dog's name) for a while. Although the home layout here was unfamiliar to her, she was agile and with her hunting instinct, she caught Heizi in minutes and then rubbed him wildly in her hands.

"I heard from Chen Tao..."

At the dinner table, with the background sound of Heizi's screams behind her head, Zhao Qin finally couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah." Xia Li nodded vigorously.

He knew what Zhao Qin wanted to say.

"She really has no parents and no friends..."

Xia Li lowered her voice and said, "You've seen it too. She's a bit of a loner."

Xia Li was right about this. To outsiders, Lucia seemed cold and aloof - this was the innate nature of a dragon.

Even in front of Xia Li, Lucia was lively and cheerful, but when she became quiet and alone, loneliness would follow her like a shadow.

For her part, Lucia didn't feel anything about it.

She can digest and accept this strange world and everything strange here.

Xia Li saw all of this every time.

"Well... he is a bit withdrawn." After hearing this, Zhao Qin nodded in agreement.

Their two families have had a strong relationship for twenty or thirty years, and Zhao Qin watched Xia Li grow up, so when she treated Xia Li, she treated her like her second child.

Let’s look back at Xiaolu playing with the dog.

Zhao Qin just felt that this little girl was too pitiful...

Not only did she have no parents, but even her grandparents had passed away in the past two years. She had to earn money by working while attending university, in addition to the scholarships from the school.

At this blooming age, other girls are pampered by their parents, but she has to support herself and enter the society alone after graduation.

This kind of family situation is not uncommon in the news, but it is a different feeling to see it in real life.

"It's okay, Aunt Zhao. Since she's with me, I will definitely do my best to take care of her."

Looking at the moved expression on Zhao Qin's face, Xia Li felt uneasy.

He essentially made up these backstories.

Although using this identity to gain sympathy is also an important part, Xia Li feels that if he continues the conversation, he will be exposed sooner or later.

Talk less, do less.

Lucia's current identity cannot withstand any scrutiny. Before Xia Li can find a way to solve the problem of her background, Lucia's situation cannot be made public.

"Hey……"

Zhao Qin still sighed deeply.

“They are all miserable children.”

"Aunt Zhao, it's getting late. I'm going to take Xiao Lu back first. You should go to bed early too."

For fear of triggering Zhao Qin's combo again, Xia Li didn't stay for long, and ran away with Lucia, who was squatting next to the sofa and petting the dog.

Before leaving, Zhao Qin went to the kitchen and got them a can of bean paste.

Xia Li did not refuse and accepted the neighbor's kindness.

It just so happens that if his little cook wants to learn Shu cuisine, bean paste is an indispensable ingredient.

"Xia Li, that dog is very funny."

After returning home, Lucia returned to her usual lively self.

She was covered in dog hair, including on her face and forehead.

It is conceivable that the dog in Chen Tao's family suffered a lot today.

"You want to raise one?"

Xia Li plucked the black hair off her face.

“No…” Lucia shook her head and scratched her face with her hands.

She is the only eater in the family.

If there was one more, she was worried that she would have to compete with the dog for food.

"You weren't full just now, do you want to eat something else?" Xia Li remembered this.

Xia Li knew how much the evil dragon ate.

Lucia was about to nod, but then she thought something was wrong.

Now she is the family's cook, and there is no reason for Xia Li to take over her job.

"Xia Li, you must want to eat instant noodles. I'll make some for you."

Lucia quickly rolled down from the sofa, landed on her feet, and walked to the kitchen in her slippers.

Xia Li: "I'm full, I'm not hungry."

"You're hungry, I'll give you instant noodles."

"..."

Looking at the evil dragon tiptoeing to open the wall cabinet from afar, Xia Li had no choice but to walk over.

"Om..."

The phone in my pocket vibrated. I opened it and found that it was a photo sent by Zhao Qin.

In the photo, Lucia hugged Xia Li's waist with both hands. She was hugged very deeply by Xia Li, with tears hanging on her clean face. Her helpless eyes had nowhere to go and finally she could only close them as if in some pain.

>~
Xia Li watched it over and over again and liked it more and more.

I can't wait to print it out and hang it on the wall, preferably at an angle where I can see it when I wake up.

Sure enough, this kind of feeling of love cannot be hidden.

Now, whenever he looks at Lucia's photo, he feels a sense of satisfaction.

It's really strange to have such sudden emotions and palpitations like this.

Xia Li tried to analyze it in depth, but found that there was no causal relationship at all.

It’s not because of Lucia that Xia Li likes her.

There is no such reason.

This feeling is so pure, so pure that it is intuitive.

Because I like it, I like it.

Just like accidentally tasting a new flavor of potato chips, you say "I think this is delicious". Liking something is such an intuitive emotion.

'I like Lucia...'

I don’t know when this sentence will reach Shalong’s heart?

If he wants to break the shackles of friendship, his efforts alone are definitely not enough.

Feel the human emotions, you stinking dragon.

For humans, 'waiting' is a punishment.

“Xia Li…!”

"Instant noodles attack me!"

"..."

The shouting from the kitchen broke Xia Li's thoughts.

Coming to his senses, Xia Li saw Lucia's head covered by the instant noodle box.

"…How can you be so stupid? You told me to come."

"No, now I'm the little cook!"

"Okay, okay, you're the cook, and I'll be the rice bucket this time."

Xia Li rescued Lucia from the box, and the two of them squatted on the ground to pick up instant noodle boxes.

He raised the seafood fish noodles in his hand and asked, "Is one bucket enough?"

Lucia shook her head modestly: "Look at you..."

Xia Li then remembered that it was he who wanted to eat it 'himself'.

"Then I'll eat two buckets, plus a glass of milk... Is that enough for me?"

"Enough is enough."
