Dragon?

I thought that when I entered the room, I would see the sleeping dragon egg, but I didn't want it, it was awake.

Pale golden eyes stared at the roof without blinking, Long looked thoughtful.

Qiao Zhi took off his shoes and sat silently by the bed.

Following its gaze upwards, he saw nothing in particular.So I had to stay in a daze with the dragon, waiting for it to talk to me.

After a while, a thick quilt flew over his shoulders.

The dragon's tail rolled and brought him into bed.

"Sleep!" said the dragon.

The warm quilt completely covered the chill he brought back from the outside, and his stiff legs gradually warmed up.But Qiao Zhi's heart seemed to be filled with lead, and it sank to the bottom coldly.

--Why?It didn't take the initiative to tell him about Bi Chong'an...

"Before I come back..."

After a pause, he asked suggestively, "Did you sleep well?"

The dragon responded with a big yawn.

I still remember that Qiao Zhi had a bad cold, and the big paw tucked him in the corner of the quilt thoughtfully, leaving a round mark on the soft cotton.

The small details made Qiao Zhi's heart warm again.

He thought: Maybe it was not worth mentioning, so he didn't talk about it.

……

A few days later, Longdandan said that he was going out of the palace.

It's not the first time that Longdandan is running around. It often goes out to buy delicious food, and brings it back to him after eating.But this time, Qiao Zhi was inexplicably uneasy...

The fourth prince put down the brush, rested his chin and looked at the person in front of him. It had been a long time since he looked outside the door without moving.

"Brother Su, what are you thinking?" He asked jealously.

The window was left open, and a gust of wind stirred the rice paper on the table.The young man raised his eyes and glanced over faintly.

"Fourth prince, I've told you many times, it's not appropriate to call you that."

With a deep voice, he gave a warning, and Qiao Zhi took a paperweight to smooth the paper for him, and took a look at how his landscape painting was doing.

After not doing anything practical all afternoon, the child actually drew a smiling face of him on the paper.

Hmm... just because of this, I have to wait every time.

"Paint landscapes. You can only paint me, and you won't make any progress." Qiao Zhi rubbed the painting.

The fourth prince pursed his lips in disbelief, thinking: He doesn't look carefully every time, and he has obviously drawn much better than last year.

The wind kept coming, Qiao Zhi got up to close the window.

Standing by the window, the cold air on his face made him shiver.

Still sick, he sniffed breathlessly when he walked back to the desk.

"Brother Su, are you crying?!" The fourth prince hastily flicked his pen and stood up to look at him.

The ink dots smeared on the paper, ruining a good rice paper.

The child was a head behind him, and he could only look up when he stared.

"It's because of the wind and cold... why am I crying when I'm fine?"

Qiao Zhi bent his fingers and flicked his forehead: "Also, don't call me that."

"Oh, it's okay, there's no one else here."

The fourth prince rubbed the red mark on his forehead, he was beaten, he was neither angry nor annoyed, but he was more obedient and calm.

"You finally hit me! Although it was on the forehead..."

There was a contented smile on his face: "I haven't been beaten by you recently, and I often feel that my butt is empty."

"..."

The fourth prince's shyness successfully made the corners of Qiao Zhi's lips twitch twice.

"You said, I haven't hit you recently?"

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Hmm! Tell me, tell me, why!" The fourth prince twisted his waist, his whole body was filled with the aura of beating.

--why?

Even if the fourth prince made himself late on purpose, Long Dandan didn't rush over to beat him recently.

Why……

……

When Longdandan came back, the room was dark.

It finds it strange: but with dinner time, Qiao Zhi wouldn't go to bed so early, right?

Looking around the room, I saw that the couch was bulging.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Qiao Zhi wrapped in a silkworm chrysalis.

It bought two big bags of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, one on the left and one on the right.

Climbing into bed with them was a bit cramped, so no prototyping.

Stretching his hand into the bed, Qiao Zhi felt cold, as if he had a fever.

It may be a cold, dizziness and discomfort.

"Qiao Zhi, I'm back." Long shouted.

He rolled over and grabbed its hand.

"Ouch!" The thumb was bitten on the meaty place.

"Hey! Are you so hungry?" Long counterattacked, pinching his cheek.

His face was pulled flat, Qiao Zhi didn't respond.

Long felt that he was biting him hard, so he didn't worry anymore.

—The fool!If you don't eat when you are hungry, can you be self-willed when you are sick?

"Does Qiao Zhi eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

It generously opened the paper bag and shared its favorites with him.

"Don't eat?"

He ignored him when his hand was sore, Long angrily stuffed the cake into his mouth: "Then I will eat it myself."

Baji Baji finished a pack, but failed to lure Qiao Zhineng out of the hole, so Longdandan couldn't bear to call him a second time.

"Really don't come and talk to me for a while? Let me tell you, I've gained a lot from going out this time!"

It can be seen that Long is in a really good mood, and it is rare to be so patient today.

Qiao Zhi pricked up his ears, and poked his eyes out from under the quilt.

"Your relatives in this world, your brother, you still remember, his name is Qiao Xi... I saw him."

Bi Chong'an asked Long if he wanted to change hands and go with him. Long's answer was - "I don't plan to change hands. If I have a chance in the future, I can see you."

The eyes poking out of the hole retracted, and Qiao Zhi didn't leave even a hair outside.

Looking forward, looking forward, finally looking forward to it talking about this topic with himself, he was just happy for a moment, then he was greeted with great disappointment.Dragon Dandan really went out of the palace to meet them, and it had never revealed a word to him about the meeting before.

"Why did you disappear again? I'm running out of food! I'm done eating!"

Long Dandan picked up the second bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and there was only the last piece left in it.

"Qiao Xi still remembers you. I was in human form when we first met. He came up to hug me excitedly and called me younger brother. I think he will treat you well."

Qiao Zhi lifted off the quilt.

His eyes were drooping in a pitiful shape, he held his breath, and stared straight at the dragon egg.

Long Dandan vigilantly clenched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand.

Qiao Zhi's eyes were terrifying, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the cake in one gulp.

He heaved a long sigh.

"Haha! Why are you sighing, I saved it for you!" Long laughed, and pulled out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from behind as if conjuring, and stuffed it into his hand.

"Hmph." Qiao Zhi bit off a corner of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but his bitter face still didn't turn sweet.

"What do you mean it was a human form when we first met? Then you took the form of a dragon?" He picked out the details in its words like getting into the eye of a needle.

"Well! Only by showing your identity can we cooperate in the future." Long replied frankly.

--cooperate?See, it has already decided things by itself.

Qiao Zhi felt that he couldn't bear it any longer, and he wanted to tell it: I can help you accomplish what you want, and you don't need to go to others.

It was only a little bit short, and he said it.

The moment he summoned up the courage to look up, he saw its shining eyes under the deserted moonlight.

Even though they have the same face, their eye color is different.

The dragon's eyes are so clear and bright that he can't imitate, they are so pure, as if condensed the brilliance of gemstones.

Their eyes met.

Qiao Zhi's heart seemed to be splashed with boiling water and then immersed in cold water.

"Your eyes can see," he said.

Long was taken aback for a moment.

"Amazing!" it exclaimed in surprise.

"I wanted to find a chance to scare you! How did you find out!!"

With a stick in his throat, Qiao Zhi forced a smile.

"How can you see it?"

He didn't think that he had done anything particularly remarkable in the past few days that could increase its cultivation to this point.

The dragon answered truthfully, and it said, "Because of the real dragon spirit, Qiao Xi also has it."

Qiao Zhi was suddenly a little thankful that he didn't say the sentence "I can help you do what you want" just now.

It opened his eyes... He has done all the good things and all the bad things, he is not afraid of any hard work, things that he has worked hard for several years but has not been completed... The first time Long saw Qiao Xi, he had completed it.

It was like the Seventh Prince who was thrown a stone when he was young. He saw his Fifth Prince looking here from a height.When he, who was bullied so dirty and him in white clothes, quietly looked up at the white corner, he already knew in his heart: what is the difference between cloud and mud.

"What a lucky day! I had sweet-scented osmanthus cake to eat, I found Qiao Azhi's relatives, and suddenly I was able to see... Qiao Zhi, even if you are sick, you should be happy! There is so much good news today!!"

Long counted one piece at a time, and his tone was full of anticipation, so happy that it was cruel.

"Also, you don't have to be forced to stay in the palace anymore, you will definitely be able to leave the palace in the near future."

It was talking, as if it had seen Qiao Zhi who had been released from the palace, like an unrestrained bird running to the sky, spreading its wings and going forward without restraint.

In fact, such a free life is the most suitable for him.

Long thought about it for several days, but still his emotions prevailed.

Qiao Zhi is not a dragon, and the dragon's bounden duty should be fulfilled by the dragon.

He didn't have to be kidnapped by it and sacrifice his life for it.

If Ah Zhi can be happy, the dragon in the sky will be happy too.

"Are you happy, Qiao Azhi!" Its eyes sparkled.

Qiao Zhi scratched his head and smiled at Long.

happy?How could you be unhappy?

Ah Zhi always wanted to leave the palace, and he didn't want to be the emperor either.Besides, in this way, Dragon Dandan's practice can be accelerated a lot...

He has lied to many people, but this time is the most difficult.

He felt a pair of pitch-black hands grabbing his skin and pulling it down.

He was involved in the ugly vortex and saw the trajectory of his own drowning.He was torn apart, with a big smile on his face, without a cry for help.

He asked himself what he was jealous of. ——Don’t you want Dragon Egg to be well?

I couldn't give an answer, so I had to pretend like nothing happened.

Qiao Zhi lied to himself and Long.

When I was a liar, I thought that I would never lie to Dragon Egg.

But he still lied to it...
