The Dragon Wife and the Manor [System]

It was late at night when Yu Xiasheng and his party entered the town smoothly.

Yu Xiasheng found a cheap hotel to stay. After ordering a table of food in the lobby, he saw Nigeya clutching his stomach and looking listless, so he softened his heart and called Nigeya to the table for dinner.

It was impossible to "punish" Nigeya at first.

Yu Xiasheng felt that he might have fallen in love with Nigeya.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. After dinner, after letting Nigeya back to the room, he would go downstairs alone and order a sweet cake covered with jam for Nigeya's supper.

At the time of harvest in orchards everywhere, jam has become a sweet condiment that ordinary people can buy.It just so happens that the harvest of fruit this year is generally good and of high quality, and the taste of the jam is sweeter than ever.

Yu Xiasheng carefully returned to the guest room with the jam layer cake. Nigeya was lying by the window, looking downstairs in a daze.

Yu Xiasheng put down the plate and said, "What are you looking at?"

Nigeya pointed to the window, "They will tell the story of the heroic knight again."

Yu Xiasheng walked over and looked down. There were three children downstairs forming a circle. One of them was holding a lamp, and the other was holding a book and reading a story. The other children were listening with great interest.

The story is about a hundred years ago, when the demons and humans went to war, a human knight heroically saved the country.

Yu Xiasheng thought to himself: Nigeya is a dragon, and the dragon belongs to the demon clan. Wouldn't Nigeya feel angry when he heard the story of his companion being killed?

However, Yu Xiasheng found that he was worrying too much. Nigeya's beautiful face had a rigid and cold expression as always, making it impossible to see his emotions.But Yu Xiasheng could always feel the joy and anticipation of Nigeya.Now, Nigeya is listening to the story seriously.

"Did there really be a war between demons and humans before?"

After the children finished telling the story, they all left with their lamps.Nigeya asked Yu Xiasheng thoughtfully.

"About hundreds of years ago." Yu Xiasheng replied, and soon he asked Nigeya, "Don't you dragons have a long lifespan? You...don't know about war?"

Nigeya shook his head, "I stopped fighting when I was born."

After finishing speaking, Nigeya turned around slowly and walked to the left, picked up the jam layer cake and took a bite, sat on the edge of the bed contentedly, showing a faint smile unconsciously.

It was just a moment.

The moment Yu Xiasheng caught this smile, the smile disappeared.

But Yu Xiasheng was still convinced that Nigeya smiled.

Nigeya always puts on an aloof appearance, hides a lot of small thoughts, and always rejects people thousands of miles away.However, Yu Xiasheng always catches the changes in his feelings from Nigeya's subtle reactions.Whenever he notices this change, Yu Xiasheng will feel an unspeakable joy.Gradually, I felt that Nigeya's habit of pretending to be cold was extraordinarily lovable.

"You really like sweets."

Yu Xiasheng took off his coat, shoes and socks, and sat on the bed next door.

"It's okay." Nigeya replied casually, his face was still cold, and he didn't know that the corner of his mouth was stained with jam.

Does that mean I like it very much?Yu Xiasheng thought to himself, already filled with Nigeya's sweet smile.

This smile is enough for today.

Yu Xiasheng buried his head in the pillow foolishly, and fell asleep at some point.

Waking up early the next morning, Yu Xiasheng changed into clean clothes, helped Nigeya put on a cloak to cover her black hair, and set off for the chamber of commerce.

The grain shortage problem in the eastern district has become a little prominent, and many large chambers of commerce have sent caravans to the western district to purchase wheat.However, a formal caravan cannot rush through the forest with Yu Xiasheng's speed and courage.It will take half a month at the fastest to purchase from the farm in the West District.

Now, Yu Xiasheng only needs to be careful not to be maliciously depreciated the quality of the wheat by the chamber of commerce, so that he can sell it at an ideal price.

It only took an hour to negotiate, and Yu Xiasheng sold all the wheat in a cart to the chamber of commerce, and received three hundred silver coins.

After paying off the hotel's rent and meals, Yu Xiasheng calculated the use of the money and made a small decision - to stay in the town for three days to recuperate before setting off. Let yourself and Nigya both relax.

Having decided so, Yu Xiasheng generously bought a brand new cloak and gave it to Nigeya.

The cloak was silver, with a gold border embroidered around the edge.Wearing it on Nigeya's head, it sets off Nigeya's innate beauty like a delicate flower on a high mountain.People want to touch it, but they are deterred by the purity and coldness.

"nice."

Yu Xiasheng was satisfied with his excellent eyesight.

Nigeya was overwhelmed by Yu Xiasheng's praise, pulled down the hood on her head, pursed her mouth and said nothing.

"Let's go, let's go to the market." Yu Xiasheng led Nigeya towards the place where the crowd gathered, and on the way, he reached out to Nigeya and said, "Take me, don't accidentally get lost. "

Nigeya was hesitating whether to extend his hand, but someone hit him from behind, and he couldn't control himself and fell half a step forward, just in time to be hugged by Yu Xiasheng.

Yu Xiasheng followed the trend and took Nigeya's hand.

Wouldn't it be nice to break free now?Nigga thought, but being held by the hand doesn't feel bad.Nigeya gradually got used to it, and forgot the sense of disobedience of holding hands.

Markets in big towns are bustling, with small stalls, townspeople, and traveling merchants everywhere.

All kinds of goods are dazzling, and Nigeya has never seen such a crowded street, and he forgot to walk for a while.Fortunately, being held by Yu Xiasheng, Nigeya did not lose his way due to lack of consciousness.

"Is there anything you like?"

Yu Xiasheng asked.

Nigeya didn't know yet, seeing too many things, he didn't know what he wanted.

Seeing that Nigeya didn't answer for a long time, Yu Xiasheng continued to take Nigeya into the market.Yu Xiasheng walked very slowly, while curiously looking at Nigeya's eyes running after some things, while looking enviously at the surrounding shops.

If possible, he would like to have a shop of his own.

Although it is good to be a traveling merchant now, he hopes to settle in one place, earn a small amount of money, and live a busy and stable life.

Yu Xiasheng thought and walked forward.

Suddenly, he was held back and couldn't move anymore. When he turned his head, Nigeya stood where he was, staring at the door of a shop.Yu Xiasheng followed Nigeya's gaze, and a child was holding a stack of books, opened the store door, and walked in.

"It's the child from last night." Nigeya said, looking away.

"Go in and have a look." Thinking of Nigeya's relish in listening to the story yesterday, Yu Xiasheng felt that Nigeya might be interested in the bookstore.

"But..." Nigeya seemed to want to say something, but Yu Xiasheng still pulled Nigeya to the door of the shop.

Opening the door, the melodious sound of ringing bells echoed in the store.

"Welcome." The old man sitting at the table by the door said with a smile.

"Hello, can we look around?" Yu Xiasheng asked politely, and the old man agreed with a simple and honest look.

Yu Xiasheng led Nigeya to the bookshelf.

The bookshelves are arranged randomly, and when you walk inside, it's like a complicated maze, every corner is filled with books, exuding the fragrance of paper and ink.

"What book do you want to read?"

"..." Nigeya hesitated for a moment, then turned his attention to the books around him.

Nigga had never read a book.Dragons have inherited all the knowledge from their parents since birth.He is proficient in the languages ​​of all races and can also write proficiently.

But this kind of language reading ability has never been used by Nigeya.

"Ah, there is actually a book introducing the Chamber of Commerce." Yu Xiasheng browsed the bibliography for a while, and found a useful book in a short while.

Nigeya quietly watched Yu Xiasheng's concentration, and finally turned his attention to the book.

If it's a story book, it might be interesting to read it on the road.

Nigeya flipped through the basic books at random, but none of them were to his liking.He got up and walked around to the other side of the bookshelf, where he noticed that the boy he saw at the door was sitting among the piles of books, reading with relish.

Nigeya stepped forward and startled the little boy.

"Beautiful big sister, are you looking for any books?" The little boy looked at Nigeya, his face flushed a little shyly.

"...I'm not a big sister." Nigeya frowned.

The little boy was taken aback for a moment, and then carefully observed Nigeya's clothes.No doubt about it – womenswear.With a pretty face and soft voice, the little boy thinks of the gentle nuns in the church.No... this big sister is much prettier than the nuns and sisters!The little boy was absolutely sure.

"That..." Nigeya found the little boy looking at him, stared blankly, and couldn't help calling the little boy back: "I want to find the story you told your friend last night..."

The little boy was taken aback in vain, "Last night?"

Thinking about it carefully, the little boy rummaged through the surrounding books with both hands and feet, took out a book and handed it to Nigeya, and scratched his head shyly, "You heard that."

Nigeya opened the book, read a few paragraphs, and confirmed that it was the heroic story the little boy told last night.

"Can you give this to me?" Nigeya asked softly.As soon as the voice softened, the little boy's face turned even redder. After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to utter a complete sentence: "Mmmmmm, sister, if you like..."

Not my sister.

Nigeya's heart was stuffy, and Yu Xiasheng, who heard the voice, came over from the other side and asked, "Have you found a suitable book?"

"This." Nigeya handed the book to Yu Xiasheng. Yu Xiasheng opened it and was surprised: "Is this a fairy tale? Do you really want this book?"

"He also agreed." Nigeya cast his eyes on the little boy, who was looking up at Yu Xiasheng, curious about the relationship between Nigeya and Yu Xiasheng.

As long as Nigeya likes it, fairy tale books are fine too.

After closing the book, Yu Xiasheng and the little boy expressed their thanks, "Thank you."

"No, you're welcome." The little boy scratched his head, his eyes still wandering curiously over Nigeya and Yu Xiasheng.Yu Xiasheng saw through the little boy's mind at a glance, walked to Nigeya's side, took Nigeya's hand and walked towards the counter by the door.

Claim sovereignty.

Even for the little boy, Yu Xiasheng was unequivocal.

Nigeya followed Yu Xiasheng with a strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't explain why.

Yu Xiasheng quickly settled the bill, and when he left the bookstore with Nigeya, the little boy suddenly ran out of the store and shouted at Nigeya: "Big sister, will you come again?"

Nigeya was dumbfounded for a while, thinking how to reply, when she was suddenly embraced gently by Yu Xiasheng, only to hear Yu Xiasheng say: "She likes books very much, so she came here whenever she had the chance." With a kind smile, he waved to the little boy.

"Why are you lying?" Nigeya saw through Yu Xiasheng's lies at a glance.

Yu Xiasheng smiled, hurriedly hid the swelling jealousy in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "To avoid possible troubles in the future."

What Yu Xiasheng pursued was a steady pursuit. Any unfavorable seedlings that might germinate should be eradicated as soon as possible.

"eccentric."

After all, Nigeya still couldn't understand Yu Xiasheng's meaning.

Not wanting to think about it, Nigeya snatched her fairy tale book back from Yu Xiasheng's hand, and held it in her arms very solemnly, like a treasure.Nigeya's satisfaction is tantamount to happiness to Yu Xiasheng.

"Is there anything else you want?" Yu Xiasheng asked when he found himself enjoying this moment.

"Cake...sweet jam." Now that he has received the first gift, Nigeya is no longer vague, and his gaze falls on the fragrant bakery with flickering eyes: "I need three bottles of jam."

"Good good."

Without complaint, Yu Xiasheng led Nigeya towards the bakery.
