Chapter 10 Evil Dragon, do you prefer your bed to be dry or damp when you sleep? (3) Shu Bai suddenly tilted his head back, but his wrist was held and he couldn't get far: "What are you doing!"
Li Yuheng looked completely innocent: "What did I do? You were the one who started it."
"...What did I say?"
"You just kissed me, all those kisses, I heard it."
"...Li Yuheng, you're such a dog."
"Thank you for the compliment," Li Yuheng readily accepted. "However, I don't think I was being a real scoundrel enough; at least I didn't stuff the jewels into your hands—"
He abruptly shut his mouth halfway through his sentence, as if afraid that a word might sprout legs and jump out of his mouth.
Shu Bai squinted his eyes.
Li Yuheng immediately flashed him an incredibly bright smile.
Shu Bai didn't speak, she just stared at him.
Li Yuheng's smile grew even more enthusiastic, his lips almost reaching his ears, as if he were seeing the cherry blossoms blooming in his hometown.
Her sparse, white eyebrows twitched slightly.
Li Yuheng began to laugh silently, his eyes curving into slits, his face radiating innocence and harmlessness.
"...Li Yuheng".
Li Yuheng blinked hard and continued to smile.
"Where do you want to put the gemstone?" Shu Bai said, enunciating each word clearly.
Li Yuheng's smile froze instantly.
“Uh, like… a pocket?” he suggested quietly.
Shu Bai remained silent.
“Or…inside the hat?” Li Yuheng tentatively added.
Shu Bai remained silent.
"It can't be the nostrils!" Li Yuheng suddenly shouted.
Shu Bai stared at Li Yuheng expressionlessly: "I'm the one asking you."
Li Yuheng unconsciously rubbed his fingers together, racking his brains for a way to get by, when he suddenly realized that Shu Bai's condition was obviously not right.
The attack from before seems to have returned; my breathing has become noticeably rapid.
His eyes lit up as if he had grasped a lifeline, and he immediately exclaimed, "Wow! I didn't realize you were such a talented dragon! It's a shame you're not an actor with such readily available skills!"
Shu Bai gritted her teeth: "You certainly know how to seize opportunities..."
But gradually, he could no longer speak.
Looking at his slightly flushed cheeks and unfocused eyes, Li Yuheng chuckled inwardly: "The dragon's nature is indeed wicked, as expected."
This time he didn't make a sound, and the surroundings became quiet for a moment, with only Shu Bai's occasional panting breaths remaining.
Amidst the chaos, Shu Bai barely regained a sliver of consciousness. She turned her head slightly, her voice unsteady and breathy: "...Why...are you not saying anything?"
The bastard's sudden silence made him feel a little uneasy.
Li Yuheng lazily lifted his eyelids: "What did you say? That you're a difficult dragon to please? You complain that I'm too noisy when you talk, and you complain that I'm too boring when you shut up."
Shu Bai's argument is indeed irrefutable.
Finally, he said, "Fine... it's better if you just shut up."
"Fine, then I'll keep quiet."
The surroundings quieted down again.
Shu Bai held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say, "Tsk...you should...say something."
Li Yuheng, putting on airs and speaking arrogantly, said, "I can say it if you want. But I only know one thing to say—"
Do you want to kiss me?
Shu Bai: "...Is that all you can say?"
"Yes. Just answer yes or no."
"don't want!"
"Oh." Li Yuheng shut up.
Shu Bai waited for a while and then noticed that the person had stopped moving: "...Why did you stop?"
"Didn't you say you didn't want it? I respect the dragon's opinion the most."
"I want."
Li Yuheng immediately beamed: "You should have said so earlier."
He lowered his head and kissed Shu Bai briefly, then quickly pulled away: "Do you want more?"
Shu Bai turned her face away: "...No."
"Okay." Li Yuheng paused again.
"...You did this on purpose?"
"Aren't I strictly following your instructions? I stop when you say no, and continue when you say yes. How obedient I am."
"Then... continue!"
"Continue what?" Li Yuheng feigned ignorance. "You haven't said whether you want to kiss or not."
Shu Bai took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "...Yes."
Li Yuheng kissed him with satisfaction, then asked, "Do you want more?"
This time, Shu Bai learned her lesson and said in a muffled voice with her eyes closed, "...Yes."
"So greedy? But I like it."
Li Yuheng leaned down and kissed him again, then asked, "Do you want more?"
Shu Bai was getting increasingly annoyed by his questions: "...Could you ask me something else?"
Li Yuheng pretended to think for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Then let's change the question—do you want to kiss me?"
Shu Bai frowned slightly: "...Is there a difference?"
Are you kidding me?
Li Yuheng remained silent, while Chong Shubai raised an eyebrow.
Looking at his smug expression, Shu Bai resignedly closed her eyes and said, "...Yes."
Li Yuheng leaned closer with satisfaction.
Before long, Shu Bai was so dizzy from his kisses that she instinctively tried to back away.
But Li Yuheng immediately caught up, giving him no room to escape.
He turned his head to catch his breath, but Li Yuheng's kiss followed him closely, landing on his lips, cheeks, and finally covering his lips precisely.
At first, Shu Bai wanted to resist, but gradually he found that it was indeed much more comfortable than enduring it.
But... that's still not enough.
It's like a thirsty person receiving only a drop of water, which only fuels their discontent.
He involuntarily tilted his head back, wanting more.
Shu Bai was so dazed by the kisses that she instinctively sought that pitiful comfort.
Li Yuheng pulled away slightly from the kiss, whispering a coaxing voice in his ear, his voice slightly hoarse:
"Hey, Shu Bai, do you want... more Su Fu?"
Shu Bai's mind was a complete mess. He felt that what he was doing was far from enough, and almost instinctively squeezed out a single word from his throat: "...Mmm."
Li Yuheng immediately pulled out a small bottle from somewhere; the bottle was still a little cool to the touch.
Startled by the commotion, Shu Bai squinted and looked over: "...What is that?"
"nice one."
…
Shu Bai suddenly turned his head, his voice unsteady yet unusually serious:
"...Li Yuheng".
"Um?"
“We dragons…have rules.” Shu Bai took a breath, seemingly struggling to organize his thoughts.
His thoughts were in turmoil, the strange sensations in his body intertwined with the ancient teachings of the dragon race.
This situation certainly requires a clear statement in dragon tradition, but he wasn't sure if the human in front of him understood the weight of it.
"In this situation... am I responsible for you?"
Li Yuheng looked down in disbelief at the strangely thinking dragon in his arms, and laughed in exasperation:
"Take responsibility? Of course I'll take responsibility! I'm a perfectly innocent virgin! I've never let any other dragon touch my hand!"
Shu Bai was taken aback by his words, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
The dragon's understanding of human culture and customs was indeed limited, but he could still detect the mockery in the other party's words, which made him feel inexplicably irritated: "...You're just a human knight, why do you have so many rules?"
"Of course I am! Our knightly code clearly stipulates that we must maintain purity of body and soul. How can I marry a princess in the future if I'm like this now?"
Li Yuheng deliberately put on a stern face, but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
He deliberately wanted to tease this usually majestic dragon, which now seemed somewhat helpless.
The evil dragon was out of options.
As a proud dragon, he had always disdained these human formalities, but Li Yuheng's words made him inexplicably concerned.
Ignoring it would seem to violate the dragon race's code of conduct.
But if you go along with what the other party wants, you always feel like you've fallen into some kind of trap.
"...Okay, then tell me how you're going to take responsibility?"
Li Yuheng's voice suddenly became cheerful, and a glint of triumph flashed in his eyes: "Simple, just let me be a dragon knight."
"...?? You fucking want to ride me?"
The pride of the dragon race made Shu Bai instinctively resist the proposal.
“Literally, riding,” Li Yuheng added with a grin, deliberately watching his reaction. “Of course, I don’t mind it in any other sense either.”
"Dream on. We dragons never let humans ride us."
"Then let's try a different approach. You take responsibility for me and become my mount."
"Is there a difference?!"
"Of course. Mounts are a profession, and riding is an action. You can be a mount and not let me ride you. Hmm... if you don't want to be a mount, then I can take responsibility for you instead."
Li Yuheng paused for a moment, then gave a bright smile: "I'll marry you."
Shu Bai: "...Have you forgotten that I am a male dragon?"
He simply couldn't understand this human's thought process.
"What's wrong with a male dragon?" Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow. "There's no rule that says we humans can't marry male dragons."
Shu Bai stared at him for a few seconds, and suddenly a thought struck her, and a possibility she had never considered before surfaced in her mind.
He blurted out:
"...Li Yuheng, you don't actually like me, do you?"
"So you knew?" Li Yuheng's voice was filled with genuine surprise. "I've been inside for so long, and you're only just realizing it?"
Shu Bai: "..."
Dragons are known for their straightforward thinking, and it took him some time to understand the roundabout way humans express themselves.
After realizing this, I don't know whether the emotion that welled up in my heart was anger or something else.
"Oh, don't be angry. When you're angry, your little face turns red, which is quite exciting."
Shu Bai: "..."
Li Yuheng sensed something was really wrong and tentatively asked:
"No way, you don't really think I came to see you over sixty times just to be your buddy, do you? Although there's a saying that good brothers are for life, remember this, brother: the one who lends you a hand is a brother, the one who tries to pull you back is a gay man."
Shu Bai opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that what Li Yuheng said... seemed to make some sense.
Although this guy is arrogant, he doesn't seem like the type to do useless work.
Moreover, behind each seemingly provocative act, there appears to be another intention.
“Then you…” Shu Bai’s voice trailed off, “Every time you… shout so loudly… something about ‘in the name of the Holy Light’…”
"I was just kidding. Besides, if I knocked on the door the first time I came and said, 'Hi, I like you, can you open the door?', would you make me come to you sixty times?"
Shu Bai was speechless when asked the question, and had to admit that Li Yuheng was right.
If the other party had expressed their feelings so directly back then, given the dragons' wariness, they would probably have driven them away without hesitation the first time.
After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out, "...No."
"That settles it then. I need to find a reason to see you, right? Besides, fighting is so much fun, you might even develop feelings for each other while you're fighting, right?"
"Who developed feelings for you...?"
"Aren't we fighting right now?" Li Yuheng deliberately misinterpreted his meaning. "Look how good their relationship is."
Shu Bai simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
The human knight spouted one fallacy after another, yet he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it.
Looking at his self-destructive state, Li Yuheng chuckled softly, "Hey, stop playing dead. Say something."
"……say what?"
"Tell me you like me."
Shu Bai closed his eyes, struggling internally.
The pride of the dragon race made him unwilling to bow his head easily, but the throbbing in his body and the emotions quietly growing in his heart made it impossible for him to deny it against his conscience.
In the end, he chose to follow his heart.
"……I like you."
Li Yuheng pressed his advantage: "Who likes me?"
"……I."
"Who are you?"
Shu Bai suddenly opened her eyes and glared at him fiercely: "...Are you looking for trouble?"
This knight is pushing his luck too far.
"I'm just trying to make a stronger impression on you. Tell me quickly, who are you, and who do you like?"
Shu Bai was so annoyed by him that she just wanted him to shut up: "Shu Bai! I like you! Okay, okay!"
Who does Shu Bai like?
"...Li Yuheng".
"Say it all together."
Shu Bai felt more frustrated than ever before, but looking at Li Yuheng's expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Shu Bai likes Li Yuheng."
After saying that, he unexpectedly felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Li Yuheng nodded in satisfaction, then leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "So...who does Li Yuheng belong to?"
Shu Bai really wanted to kick him off the stage, but the words that came out were: "...Mine! Mine, okay!"
He was stunned after saying it; the possessiveness came so naturally, as if it were the only way it should be.
"That's more like it." Li Yuheng was finally satisfied, and leaned down to kiss his sweaty forehead. "Wouldn't it have been better if you had been this honest from the beginning?"
Shu Bai turned his face away: "...Don't be so smug."
"I'm so proud of myself, and I'm laughing with smug satisfaction!"
…
"Hey, you evil dragon."
"...What now?"
"Nothing. I just suddenly felt that being a dragon knight is really pretty good."
Shu Bai raised his head and squinted his eyes: "...Don't even think about it."
"Can't I even think about it?" Li Yuheng feigned grievance. "I've put in so much effort, and I can't even get the title of Dragon Knight?"
"No."
"Tch, stingy."
"So stingy."
…
Shu Bai: "What did you stuff in there!"
Li Yuheng hesitated and said, "It's just one, it's okay. Be good."
"I have something to do!"
"It's okay~ It's really okay~ See, you don't feel anything, do you? It's okay, it's okay..."
…
A moment later.
Shu Bai completely lost her temper, her voice trembling: "Li! Yu! Heng! Didn't you just say there was only one?! What's going on?!"
“…”
"Speak up!!!"
Seeing that he couldn't fool her anymore, Li Yuheng gritted his teeth and, in a fit of desperation, shouted, "Hey! This...this is a set! Yes! It's a set! Selling them separately is bad luck! I was just thinking that good things come in pairs..."
