Chapter 45: You, Evil Dragon, Come to My Room
Lucia has exclaimed more than once how intelligent humans are.
It’s just ordinary vegetables, but by simply processing them in a pot and adding some seasonings, they can magically transform into all sorts of delicious combinations.
The steak and baked rice we had the other day is one example, and the stir-fried dishes Xia Li makes are another.
Xia Li said before that once Lucia learns how to cook, he will gradually hand over the important task of cooking to her.
Lucia is both nervous and excited about this.
She is looking forward to the taste of the food she makes, but she is also worried that it won’t be delicious enough.
However, even though Lucia has the heart of an apprentice, Xia Li has shown no intention of teaching her the magic of cooking lately.
Xia Li seems uneasy about handing over the power of fire to her.
It’s simply contempt for her!
Lucia has been playing with fire for a hundred years, and Xia Li, the mere Brave Hero, actually looks down on her!
“I’m going to wash the dishes…”
After quickly finishing her food, Lucia resisted the urge to lick the bowl and then took her empty bowl to the kitchen.
Xia Li won’t let her play with fire, so she will play with water fiercely!
She will wash all the dishes spotlessly!
At the dining table.
Xia Li poured the last bit of stir-fried mushrooms with meat into his bowl, then mixed it with the sauce and ate the remaining rice.
Listening to the sound of dishwashing coming from the kitchen, Xia Li’s thoughts began to wander.
He really should find something for Lucia to do.
It’s not about making Lucia do housework or teaching her how to survive in this world.
It’s about another kind of ‘hobby’.
People without hobbies are like the walking dead. People live for the things they like, and dragons are the same.
Cultivating Lucia’s interests is very necessary.
Otherwise, this guy will play with Xia Li when she has nothing to do.
Like a supervisor, she sticks to Xia Li all the time.
It’s okay when cooking, except that the kitchen is a bit cramped and Xia Li always bumps into this short dragon when he turns around, it doesn’t really affect him.
But it’s different when typing in the room.
That’s when Xia Li is most focused, and Lucia’s occasional appearance behind him will more or less distract him.
Thinking about this, Xia Li took out his phone and started searching on Baidu.
‘What are the ways to cultivate interests?’
The answers online are generally divided into three categories: First, participate in courses and training, second, communicate with like-minded people, and third, try to come into contact with more things.
The first two can be PASSed, Lucia hasn’t even finished learning basic common sense, and she can’t integrate into any course training at all.
The second one can also be PASSed, Lucia only knows Xia Li on Earth, and Xia Li’s hobbies were shown to Lucia a long time ago ━ those paper people in cartoons, Lucia said she couldn’t understand them, and wasn’t interested.
… Obviously, before Xia Li transmigrated to Azure Continent, people like Lucia were like paper people.
As a result, the 3D paper person even dislikes the 2D paper person.
Speaking of which, the only option Xia Li can try is the third one.
Let Lucia come into contact with more things.
Thinking of this, Xia Li immediately took action.
He took the last two empty bowls from the table and sent them to the kitchen.
Lucia was still happily washing dishes, the sink in front of her was full of white bubbles, and the bubbles were getting more and more, about to overflow.
Whenever the bubbles were about to escape the sink, Lucia would reach out her claws to scoop them up, put them back into the sink, and then continue to rub more bubbles on the dishes with the dishcloth.
… So is this guy playing with water or washing dishes?
Xia Li frowned, but he chose not to intervene.
Playfulness is something that all species have. Lucia has just come into contact with dish soap, so it’s good to let her play more.
As long as she doesn’t flood the kitchen…
“Lucia, I’ll leave these bowls to you, I’m going to put them on your tab.”
Xia Li handed over the empty plates.
Lucia was happily rubbing bubbles just a second ago, she didn’t pay attention to Xia Li’s footsteps, and when she suddenly heard Xia Li talking next to her ear, the whole dragon was startled.
“Oh, oh.”
So she immediately started washing the dishes obediently and stopped playing with the foam.
… So you know how to be cowardly!
Xia Li glanced at her, but didn’t intend to expose her.
◈◈◈
“Come to my room after you’ve washed them.”
“Oh… huh?”
Lucia felt something was wrong with this sentence.
As she let out a ‘huh?’, Xia Li himself was stunned.
“No,” Xia Li immediately changed his words.
“I mean, after you’ve washed the dishes, come to my room, I have something fun for you to play with.”
“Okay.” Lucia readily agreed.
She didn’t think much of it, and after Xia Li left, she played with the bubbles for a while longer.
After cleaning up the dishes, Lucia came to Xia Li’s room.
At this time, Xia Li had already tidied up his room.
After making the bed that he never made, Xia Li moved a stool and placed it in front of his computer.
“You sit here.”
Xia Li gave up his gaming chair for Lucia to sit on.
This was the first time Lucia had sat on Xia Li’s throne…
Sitting in this soft chair that fit her waist perfectly, Lucia felt a little smug.
This… This is Brave Hero Xia Li’s throne!
A hundred times more comfortable than the pure gold throne that hurts human kings’ butts!
“This is the mouse, this is the keyboard,”
Xia Li began to carefully explain the basic rules of computer use to Lucia.
Speaking of which, this guy can’t even use a mobile phone yet, and she’s skipping a grade to operate a computer… I wonder if she can learn it.
Xia Li’s gaming chair was adjusted very high, Lucia’s short legs were just dangling in the air, she liked to swing her feet whenever they were off the ground, the base of the gaming chair was on casters, and with Lucia swinging like this, both the dragon and the chair were moving to the side.
“Stop swinging for now,” Xia Li quickly pulled the runaway evil dragon back.
Lucia stopped her legs and sat up straight.
“First try moving the mouse, then press the left button.”
Xia Li was teaching Lucia new things again, although Lucia was a bit stupid, she was eager to learn.
After a few tries, she had learned the basic way to click the mouse.
At this stage, all she needed to learn was how to use the mouse.
“Let me.”
Xia Li covered Lucia’s small hand with his own.
Because she had just washed the dishes, the back of Lucia’s hand was cool, and there was a rose scent of dish soap on it.
She just let Xia Li hold her hand obediently, without moving.
Xia Li slowly moved the mouse and clicked on the 4366 game interface.
Lucia looked at the colorful display and then raised her head to look at Xia Li in confusion.
As she raised her head, her small, delicate nose was less than 5cm away from Xia Li’s neck.
The warm and humid air exhaled from Lucia’s nose blew on his neck, Xia Li’s heart tightened, and his Adam’s apple rolled.
Composing himself, Xia Li clicked on a popular game on the 4366 mini-game homepage ━ Bejeweled.
This game is full of beautiful gems, Lucia, the evil dragon, should like it.
However, Lucia, who should have been attracted by the gems, was still holding her head up.
Xia Li looked down.
Lucia’s eyes looked watery in front of the fluorescent light, her soft face looked pitiful from this angle, her eyes were flickering, as if she was expecting or waiting for something.
“What…”
This inexplicable atmosphere made Xia Li’s heart beat faster.
“Xia Li, you…”
Lucia opened her small mouth slightly, raised her free hand, and touched Xia Li’s face.
“You have a grain of rice on your face.”
