It was originally a short chapter, but the longer it was written, it was completely unbearable, and it ended up being a very long short story

A daily love comedy that I haven't written for a long time, a love story outside the human × of the Western dragon ♀ and the Eastern dragon ♂, all sugar and sweetness without a knife, two-way love at first sight, you can come and eat cookies without playing a game, I write it casually, and everyone can watch it casually

Of course, it would be better if you liked the dragons I wrote!

The night is dustless, and the moonlight is like silver. When pouring wine, it must be 10 points. Fame and fortune, vain and hard work. Sigh in the horse, fire in the stone, body in the dream.

- "Xing Xiangzi Shu Huai"

……

……

……

"Hey—"

When Dan Feng stepped on the steps, he heard a voice overhead.

The voice was clear and loud, full of energy, like a hundred strings of black iron wind chimes of the industrial construction division ringing at the same time.

To be honest, he never understood the meaning of the existence of that wind chime. According to a genius craftsman, it is more weighty than traditional glass and jade, and its timbre is rich and penetrating, with a reassuring "simple and robust feeling".

He understands the truth, but why do wind chimes need to be simple and robust?

Isn't that an ornament?

"Hey, Danfeng, look here-"

The voice rang out again.

He knew that if he looked up at this time, he would see one—perhaps two or three—youthful, vigorous faces, with a smile that seemed to cost no money, from the shining twelve white teeth to the crumpled eyebrows, and a kind of unbridled enthusiasm that he would not laugh at crow's feet.

Xianzhou does not lack such smiling faces, but it can be said that there are few that can be shown in front of him.

Therefore, although Dan Feng liked to be quiet, although he could not reciprocate with the same warm expression, he still followed the voice and raised his face to meet the smiling faces that would bloom for him, those young and flamboyant, the stars that cast their light above his head without knowing the height of the sky.

“……”

The first thing he saw was a young face brighter than the rising sun.

The fluffy white hair is piled up on the shoulders like a cloud, half of it is tied up with a bright red hair band, and the other half is casually draped along the neck, with a loose cloth shirt that is one size larger than the skeleton, which is very raunchy, but it looks more intimate and natural than messy, and it is difficult to say that it is due to the popular "punk lord classical fashion professional casual style", or due to the innate endowment of teenagers - the face is good-looking, and it can be worn casually.

On this face that was set off by the volume of hair, a pair of star-like golden eyes were shining and shining, brilliant to a little dazzling. But the tail of his eyes was decorated with a little tear, and no matter how scorching his eyes were, he was also inlaid with a warm edge, which brought out a gentle and affectionate charm.

When the young man saw Dan Feng looking up, he smiled at the people around him, "Look, I said that he won't ignore us." ”

"Jing Yuan, don't get too carried away. He is Lord Longzun of Luofu, you get old and make trouble with him, and you will ignore you one day. Don't come to me to cry then! ”

The answer was a fox girl, with a pair of fluffy pointed ears, a pair of bright eyes and bright teeth, and a bright hibiscus face, which was fixed in the best period of flowers, and could always envy those short-lived tourists.

While joking with the boy, she pushed the arm of another girl next to her: "An An, don't patronize and laugh." Look at it, the older Jing Yuan gets, the more unruly he becomes, it's already difficult to bring a boy of this age, and you still have to indulge him in fooling around! ”

The girl dodged her claws and laughed, "What nonsense! Can playing with children be considered nonsense? ”

Then there are difficult words, such as "everyone has only one childhood", what "interstellar happiness education emphasizes the combination of work and rest", etc., which caused the white-haired boy and the fox girl to laugh, and the surrounding air was full of happiness.

They were so happy that it took a while for the teenager to think of it and retort: "No, I'm almost crowned, where did I get my childhood?" ”

The two girls laughed: "In our eyes, children under the age of 60 are children!" Oh, maybe a hundred years old? Don't worry, Jing Yuan, a hundred years will pass soon, and you will always have the day when you become an adult. ”

"Hey, how can there be such a reason? A foreigner is no more than a hundred years old in his life, and you can't talk nonsense, otherwise you will definitely make people angry enough. ”

"Who said that, Ying Xing never gets angry with us. But also, as soon as he reaches the age of thirty, he is not easy to play, and he talks in a set way, as if he wants to be a big brother in turn, which is strange and boring to think about. ”

"It's not interesting, that's what it's called fun. Every time Ying Xing is watched as a child by you and me, I want to be angry and feel embarrassed, and the expression on my face is funny. ”

"Will Ying Xing be embarrassed? He swaggered at my tail every time and asked me if I could scrape some dragon scales for him to make raw materials, and he could pay with his salary card. Really, is it a matter of money? ”

"This ...... Probably because Danfeng has been hiding his tail, so Ying Xing is a little excited to see you? ”

"Ying Xing, he has no malicious intent! An An, don't be angry with him, if he thinks about your tail next time, I will help you criticize him! ”

"Well, it's really about the money." What do you think of our noble Dragonborn! I wanted to scold him like this, but he gave too much, so I carefully scraped a layer of scales off my tail and watched him pour into the smelting furnace. Then again, is the salary of the Industrial Construction Division so high? ”

"Ah......h

"Haha......"

“……”

“…………”

“………………”

Dan Feng maintained a posture of looking up, quietly watching the three of them laugh and play, and did not interrupt them.

To be honest, he didn't think there was much nourishment in these conversations, and even if he stood here and listened to them gossip for an hour, the effective information would not take more than five minutes.

But for some reason, he just had the patience to stand here motionlessly, listening to the trivial things that the parents were short and trivial, and the dragon master said that "not to be elegant", listening to their laughter flowing through his ears like a sparkling lake, and his floating mood was incredibly quiet.

His mask Chiyo was the same, expressionless, coldly looking down at the mayfly that was dying in front of him.

But beneath the mask, he could clearly see his other self struggling to poke its head out of the deep water, floating with the waves under the stars, breathing calmly and long.

It was a calm he had never experienced before he met them.

Unfortunately, this peace cannot last forever, and there will always be someone who will open up and bring friends who have digressed thousands of miles back on track.

So, when they began to discuss, "Hey, you said that the beautiful sister you saw last time I went to the Industrial Construction Division can catch up with Ying Xing" and "No, I think he likes the New Year", he finally opened his lips lightly, listened to his Qing Lingling's voice sound, and collected all the rambling chatter-

"Jing Yuan."

The white-haired boy restrained his smile and sat up straight.

"Bai Heng."

The fox girl moved the tips of her ears and turned her face with a smile.

"And ......"

He looked at the last man.

Or, rather, humanoid intelligent beings from distant alien planets.

It was a girl with features that were distinctly different from the others—at least on the outside—with white frost-like skin and golden hair like wheat waves, slender vertical pupils embedded in sea-blue eyes, slender and beautiful dragon horns like hair ornaments extending from the top of her head to the back of her head, and a half-length silver-white dragon tail hanging from her waist and gently swaying in the wet sea breeze.

As if she was afraid of being forgotten, she squeezed out of the middle of Bai Heng and Jing Yuan, the three of them had their heads stacked on top of each other, their tails wrapped around their tails, like a hunting conjoined baby with different races, and they could scare people when they saw it at night.

“……”

Dan Feng stared at this picture, and the familiar pronunciation flowed through the tip of his tongue, and he lightly spit out the girl's name:

"Jasmine."

"You three, what are you doing in the tree at the gate of the Scales Abyss Realm?"

*

"Danfeng, you listen to our explanation, there is a reason for this."

"Well, you speak, I'm listening."

“……”

The three humanoid creatures looked at each other, Jing Yuan glanced at Bai Heng from the corner of his eye, Bai Heng gently tugged at the corner of Mo Lian's clothes, Mo Lian refused to take this stubble, and poked Jing Yuan's ribs with her backhand, realizing the perfect closed loop of throwing each other's pots.

Jing Yuan: "? ”

What qualities do you bully the smallest?

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he cleared his throat vigorously and raised his eyes in the face of Danfeng's cool gaze.

"That's right, Danfeng. I remember that your birthday is coming, and this year we want to do it for you once, not to treat you as a dragon, and not to care about the rules of the Ming clan, just a few of us. ”

Bai Heng raised his hand and pointed to the treetops: "Look, we are hanging lanterns there!" Originally, I said don't tell you, quietly surprise you, Jing Yuan said that if it doesn't work, it will turn into a fright, so he wants to call you out and let you see it together. Really, we will give you a birthday, how can there be a reason to let the birthday star arrange it together? ”

“……”

Dan Feng didn't say anything for a while, just raised his head again and looked at the maple tree that was unrecognizable in silence.

The tree is still the same tree, and the maple leaves are still so red and intoxicating, but the tree is already full of colorful props, such as the special dark iron wind chimes made by the Industrial Construction Division, the bells and whistles in the Changle store, the latest "urban and rural combination of dazzling and contrasting neon lights" launched by Interstellar Peace Company (the square dance BGM of each planet will be randomly played when lit), and even the meteor fragments that Jasmine brought back from the sky......

If he remembered correctly, unlike the Zhiming clan, Moro's hometown, Merlotus, would commemorate the day when her ancestor "Albion's Dragon" descended on the planet and named it "Holy Dragon Advent", which is probably the "Holy Dragon Tree" that is necessary for their festival.

Trees and dragons cannot be said to be exactly the same, only that they are not related.

A FEW YEARS AGO, BAI HENG ARRIVED AT MEILU ON A TRIP TO TYPE-MOON, A DISTANT GALAXY, AND SINCE THEN, HE HAS BEEN AMAZED BY THE BEAUTY OF ADVENT, CLAMORING FOR A REVIVAL IN THE FAIRY BOAT SOONER OR LATER.

It's a pity that the fox clan doesn't mention it, for the Xianzhou people and the Zhiming people who advocate the beauty of classical subtlety, this fashionable aesthetic culture seems to be too early.

Dan Feng looked at his birthday gift again and again, and finally came to the conclusion:

Well, if it is served like this, it is indeed quite frightening.

- For the Dragon Master.

Wouldn't it be nice to imagine them being hit by a contrasting neon sign and their eyes were black?

Dan Feng didn't show this kind of rebellious teenager's thoughts, but just calmly asked them:

"Immortals rarely have the habit of holding birthdays, you tell you the truth, whose idea is this?"

Jing Yuan (pointing to Morian): "She. ”

Bai Heng (pointing to Morian): "She." ”

Jasmine: "? ”

What qualities, calculating the oldest?

It's good now, the pressure is on her.

But it's not a big problem, she has always been professional in decompression, otherwise her mental state would not be so healthy.

So she puffed up her chest proudly, and by the way, she also cocked her tail, so that the silver-white scales that she was proud of reflected the seven-colored streamer, so as not to lose face in front of this Zhilan Yushu's Bright Dragon Venerable.

"Yes, it's down there. I'm an alien dragon, and even if we live to be 1,800 years old, we must have birthdays every year! ”

“……”

Dan Feng was silent for a moment, and tried to consider the statement that was not too hurtful - this was a little difficult for him, after all, most of his life, he had been hurting each other with the dragon master, or unilaterally hurting the dragon master.

Fortunately, in the end, he still thought of a sentence, which often appeared in the Luofu forum, which was not very lethal and insulting, but it could indeed dissuade some whimsical ideas.

"Good idea, don't think about it next time."

“…………………… Oh. ”

Jasmine answered honestly, her tail and eyelids hanging limply, undisguised as she made no secret of her disappointment.

“…… Anyway, thank you for your heart. It's a cultural difference, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

Dan Feng inexplicably felt indebted that he had done something wrong, even though he didn't know why he felt indebted.

Jing Yuan and Bai Heng are old friends who know their roots, and they won't be too out of line if they make trouble occasionally, but the girl in front of them is different. As she herself said, the idea of an "alien dragon" has always been out of place on this immortal boat that has been soaring for 7,000 years, and it is even more elusive to him who has never left the immortal boat.

Danfeng didn't understand, but he didn't hate it either.

It is better to say that it is precisely because of his incomprehension that he will pay extra attention to the girl, consciously or unconsciously, trying to listen to her words, empathize with her feelings, and no longer let her be disappointed in his indifferent and boring reactions.

It was difficult, but he was willing to do it.

Every friend who treats him as a "human", he wants to cherish it from the standpoint of a human being.

It's just that because of his temperament, Dan Feng always needs to put in more effort than others in order to barely tie himself between everyone, so as not to float to the clouds as soon as he lets go.

At this moment—

"Jasmine."

After Jing Yuan and Bai Heng packed up their things and left, Dan Feng stopped the girl alone and asked her a long-standing question.

"Morien, I don't understand."

Jasmine: "What? ”

"You ......"

Dan Feng paused for a moment, looking back on his memories since they met, and combing through the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"You and I are indeed born of the same origin, but the universe is vast, and there is more than one dragonborn, and you can always find more friendly and welcoming people. Why do you want to stay in Xianzhou and spend your time and energy on me? ”

"Oh, this......"

Morien, who had been walking in front of him step by step, stood still when she heard the words, and turned her head with her hands clasped behind her back.

The artificial light source in the Xianzhou Cave fell on her face, her bright and brilliant blonde hair fluttered in the wind, and the whole person was like a golden little sun, exuding warm light from the inside out.

"I guess you want to ask me, 'Why do you like you so much?' This story is a bit long, do you want to hear it? ”

She blinked and laughed, raised her hand to brush her hair, which had been tossed by the sea breeze, and cast her gaze far beyond the cave.

"Specifically, before I was born—"
