It was originally a short story of one chapter, but it got longer and longer and I couldn't contain it, and finally it turned into a very long short story.
A daily romantic comedy that I haven’t written in a long time, a love story between Western Dragon ♀ × Eastern Dragon ♂ and a love story between two people. It’s all sugar and sweet without any knives. It’s love at first sight in both directions. You can come and eat cookies even if you haven’t played the game. I’ll write it casually, and everyone is welcome. Just read the jokes
Of course it would be even better if you like the dragons I write!
The clear night is dust-free, and the moonlight is like silver. When the wine is poured, it must be ten minutes full. Famous and vain, vain and hard work. A horse is caught in a sigh, fire is caught in a stone, and a body is caught in a dream.
——"Xing Xiangzi·Reflecting on Feelings"
…
…
…
"Hello--"
When Dan Feng stepped onto the steps, he heard a voice coming from above his head.
The sound was clear, loud, and full of energy, like a hundred strings of black iron wind chimes ringing at the same time.
To be honest, he never understood the meaning of that wind chime. According to a talented craftsman, it is more substantial than traditional colored glaze and jade, has a rich and penetrating sound, and has a reassuring "simple and robust feeling".
He understands the truth, but why do wind chimes need to be simple and strong?
Isn't that a kind of decoration?
"Hey, Dan Feng, look here -"
The voice sounded again.
He knew that if he looked up at this time, he would definitely see one - maybe two or three - youthful and energetic face. The smile seemed to be free of charge, from the twelve shining white teeth to the His eyebrows and eyes were scrunched up, and he relied on himself not to get crow's feet when he smiled, showing an unbridled enthusiasm.
Xianzhou did not lack such smiling faces, but those who could show them to him were as rare as morning stars.
Therefore, although Dan Feng liked silence and could not respond with the same enthusiastic expression, he still followed the sound and raised his face to greet those smiling faces that would bloom for him, those young and flamboyant ones who cast their light without knowing the heights of the sky. to the stars above his head.
"..."
The first thing he saw was a young man's face that was brighter than the rising sun.
The fluffy white hair is piled on the shoulders like clouds, half of it is tied up with a bright red hairband, and the other half is scattered casually along the neck. It is paired with a loose cloth shirt that is one size larger than the frame. It is a bit slovenly, but it is more messy than messy. It seems friendly and natural. It is hard to tell whether it is due to the popular "punk Lorde classical fashion professional casual style" or to the boy's innate talent-a good-looking face, casual wear.
On this face that was made particularly delicate by the amount of hair, a pair of star-like golden eyes were shining, so bright that they were almost dazzling. But there was a small tear mark on the ends of his eyes, and his scorching gaze was framed with a gentle edge, giving off a gentle and sentimental charm.
When the young man saw Dan Feng raising his head, he smiled at the people around him and said, "Look, I told him he wouldn't ignore us."
"Jingyuan, don't get too carried away. He is the Lord Dragon of Luofu. If you keep making trouble with him and make him annoyed, one day he will ignore you. Then don't come to me and cry!"
The person who answered was a girl from the fox tribe, with a pair of furry pointed ears, a bright eye, white teeth, and a hibiscus face that was as bright as the morning sun. She was fixed in the most beautiful period of flowers and letters, and she could always envy the short-lived tourists who came and went.
While joking with the boy, she pushed the arm of another girl next to her: "An'an, don't just laugh. Look, the older Jing Yuan gets, the less disciplined he is. It's already difficult to lead a boy of this age. You And let him do whatever he wants!"
The girl dodged her clutches and started laughing: "What nonsense! Can playing with children be considered nonsense?"
Then came the difficult words, such as "Everyone has only one childhood" and "Interstellar Happy Education pays attention to the balance between work and rest", etc., which caused the white-haired boy and the fox girl to burst into laughter, and the surroundings were filled with joy.
They were so happy that it took the boy a while to remember to retort: "No, I'm almost crowned, where did my childhood come from?"
The two girls laughed together: "In our eyes, everyone under the age of sixty is a child! Oh, maybe a hundred years old? Don't worry Jingyuan, one hundred years will pass quickly, and you will always grow up." The day I grew up."
"Hey, how can there be such a truth? Foreigners never live more than a hundred years old. You can't say this nonsense, otherwise you will definitely make people very angry."
"Who said that? Ying Xing has never been angry with us. However, once he reaches thirty years old, he is no longer easy to tease. He talks in one way, as if he wants to be a big brother to others. , it’s quite boring when you think about it.”
"Why is it boring? That's what it's called. Every time Ying Xing is treated like a child by you and me, he wants to be angry but also feels embarrassed. The expression on his face is so funny."
"Ying Xing is still embarrassed? He stares at my tail every time and asks me if I can scrape some dragon scales to make raw materials for him. He can pay with his salary card. Really, is this a money issue? ?”
"This...maybe it's because Dan Feng has been hiding his tail, so Ying Xing was a little excited when he saw you?"
"Ying Xing doesn't mean any harm! An'an, don't be angry with him. If he worries about you again next time, I'll criticize him for you!"
"Well, it's actually a matter of money. 'What do you think of our noble dragonborn!' - I wanted to scold him like this, but he gave too much, so I carefully shaved it off the tail A layer of scale powder came down, and I watched him pour into the smelting furnace. Speaking of which, is the salary of the Engineering Department so high?"
"Ah this..."
"Ha ha……"
"..."
"…………"
"………………"
Dan Feng kept looking up and quietly watched the three people laughing and playing without interrupting them.
To be honest, he didn't think these conversations were very nutritious. Even if he stood here and listened to their chat for an hour, the effective information extracted would not last more than five minutes.
But for some reason, he just had the patience to stand here motionless, listening to the trivial things of those parents who were short-lived and trivial, and what Master Long said were "unrefined", and listening to their laughter flowing from his ears like sparkling lake water. After passing by, the floating mood also calmed down incredibly.
His mask remained the same for thousands of generations, expressionless, and he looked down coldly at the life and death of the mayflies in front of him.
But under the mask, he could clearly see another version of himself struggling to poke his head out from the deep water, floating with the waves under the starry sky, breathing long and calmly.
It was a peace he had never experienced before meeting them.
Unfortunately, this peace cannot last forever. Someone has to speak up and bring the friends who have strayed far away from the topic back on track.
So, when they started to discuss, "Hey, do you think the beautiful sister I saw last time when I went to the Engineering Department can catch up with Ying Xing?" "No, I think he likes Nian Shang." He finally opened his lips lightly and listened. His own clear voice rang out, gathering up all the endless chatter——
"Jingyuan."
The white-haired boy suppressed his smile and sat upright in a serious manner.
"Bai Heng."
The fox girl moved the tips of her ears and turned her face with a smile.
"besides……"
He looked at the last person.
In other words, humanoid intelligent creatures from distant alien planets.
She was a girl whose facial features were obviously different from others - at least she looked like a girl - with skin as white as frost and golden hair like wheat waves, slender vertical pupils embedded in sea-blue eyes, as long as hair accessories. Beautiful dragon horns extend from the top of the head to the back of the head, and a half-length silver-white dragon tail hangs down from the waist, gently swaying in the moist sea breeze.
As if she was afraid of being forgotten, she squeezed her way out from between Bai Heng and Jing Yuan. The three of them had their heads on top of each other and their tails were wrapped around their tails. They looked like strange conjoined twins from an interracial fusion. Seeing them at night would startle people. .
"..."
Dan Feng stared at this picture, and the familiar pronunciation flowed over the tip of his tongue, and he whispered the girl's name:
"Morrigan."
"What are you three doing on the tree at the gate of Linyuan Realm?"
*
"Dan Feng, please listen to our explanation, there is a reason for this."
"Well, you talk and I'm listening."
"..."
The three humanoid creatures looked at each other in confusion. Jing Yuan glanced at Bai Heng from the corner of his eye. Bai Heng gently tugged at the corner of Mo Liang's clothes. Mo Li An refused to take the trouble and poked Jing Yuan in the ribs with his backhand, thus blaming each other. A perfect closed loop.
Jing Yuan: "?"
What qualities do you bully the youngest?
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he cleared his throat forcefully and raised his eyes to meet Dan Feng's cool gaze.
"It's like this, Dan Feng. I remember that your birthday is coming soon. This year we want to take care of it for you. We won't treat you as a dragon, and we won't care about the rules of the Ming Dynasty clan. It's just us."
Bai Heng raised his hand and pointed to the treetop: "Look, we are hanging lanterns there! Originally I said not to tell you, but to give you a surprise quietly, but Jingyuan said it might turn into a fright, so he decided to call you out loud , let you go through the details together. Really, we are celebrating your birthday, how can there be any reason for the birthday girl to arrange it together? "
"..."
Dan Feng was speechless for a moment, but raised his head again, silently staring at the unrecognizable maple tree.
The tree is still the same tree, and the maple leaves are still so intoxicatingly red, but the tree is already covered with colorful props, such as the black iron wind chimes specially made by the Industrial Manufacturing Department, the gaudy trinkets from the Changletian store, and the latest products launched by the Interstellar Peace Company. A "colourful contrasting neon light that combines urban and rural style" (when lit, square dance BGM of each planet will be played randomly), and there are even meteor fragments brought back by Morrigan from the sky...
If he remembered correctly, unlike the Vidyadharas, Morrigan's hometown - Melo Planet would commemorate the day when their ancestor "Dragon of Albion" came to the planet and named it "Advent of the Holy Dragon". It is probably the "Holy Dragon Tree" that they must have during their festivals.
Trees and dragons cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can only be said to be completely unrelated.
A few years ago, Bai Heng arrived at Melu Star during a trip to the distant galaxy TYPE-MOON. After that, he praised the beautiful scenery of Advent and said that he would recreate it in Xianzhou sooner or later. .
It is a pity that, let alone the Fox clan, this fashionable aesthetic culture seems to be too early for the Xianzhou people and the Vidyadhara clan who advocate classical and subtle beauty.
Dan Feng looked at his birthday gift again and again, and finally came to the conclusion:
Well, it would indeed be quite shocking if it were served like this.
——For the Dragon Master.
Wouldn't it be nice to imagine that they were hit by contrasting neon lights and their foreheads were bleeding and their eyes were black?
Dan Feng did not express his thoughts like a rebellious boy, but asked them calmly:
"Immortals rarely have the habit of celebrating birthdays. Tell the truth, whose idea was this?"
Jing Yuan (pointing to Mo Liang): "She."
Bai Heng (pointing to Morian): "She."
Morrigan: "?"
What qualities do you have to calculate the oldest?
This was good, the pressure was on her.
But it's not a big problem. She has always been professional when it comes to relieving stress, otherwise her mental state would not be so healthy.
So she puffed up her chest proudly, and raised her tail at the same time, letting her proud silver-white scales reflect the seven-color stream of light, so as not to lose face in front of the Might-holding Dragon Lord of Zhilan Yushu.
"Yes, that's right. I'm an alien dragon. Even if we live to be 1,800 years old, we must celebrate our birthday every year!"
"..."
Dan Feng was silent for a moment, trying to think of a less hurtful statement - this was a bit difficult for him, after all, he had spent most of his life hurting each other with Master Long, or hurting Master Long unilaterally.
Fortunately, he finally thought of a sentence, which often appears in the Luofu Forum. It is not very lethal or insulting, but it can indeed dissuade some wild and fantastic ideas.
"It's a good idea, don't think about it next time."
"……………………oh."
Morrigan responded honestly, her tail and eyelids hanging limply, not hiding her disappointment.
"...In any case, thank you for your consideration. This is a cultural difference, don't worry about it."
Dan Feng had an inexplicable feeling of indebtedness for doing something wrong, although he didn't know why he felt indebted.
Jing Yuan and Bai Heng were old friends who he knew very well, and it wouldn't be too out of line to make a fuss occasionally, but the girl in front of him was different. As she herself said, the idea of an "alien dragon" was always out of place on this fairy boat that had been flying for seven thousand years, and it was even more elusive to him who had never left the fairy boat.
Dan Feng didn't understand, but he didn't hate it either.
Rather, it was precisely because he didn't understand that he paid extra attention to the girl intentionally or unintentionally, trying to listen to her words, resonate with her mood, and no longer let her be disappointed by his indifferent and boring reaction.
It was a difficult thing to do, but he was willing to do it.
He wants to cherish every friend who treats him as a "human being".
It's just because of his temperament that Dan Feng always needs to work harder than others to keep himself firmly connected among everyone and prevent him from drifting into the clouds as soon as he lets go.
For example, at this moment——
"Morrigan."
After Jing Yuan and Bai Heng packed up and left, Dan Feng stopped the girl alone and asked her a long-standing question.
"Morrigan, I don't understand."
Morrigan: "What?"
"you……"
Dan Feng paused for a moment, looking back at the memories since they met, and sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind into writing.
"You and I are indeed born from the same origin, but the world is vast, and there are more than one dragon descendants, Vidyadhara. You can always find more kind and enthusiastic tribesmen. Why do you always stay in Xianzhou and spend your time and energy on me? "
"Oh, this..."
Morrigan was walking in front of him step by step, but when she heard this, she stood still and turned around with her hands clasped behind her back.
The artificial light source in the Xianzhou Cave fell on her face, and her bright blond hair fluttered in the wind. Her whole body was like a golden little sun, emitting warm light from the inside out.
"I guess you want to ask me 'why I like you so much'. This story is a bit long, do you want to hear it?"
She blinked and smiled, raised her hands to tuck her hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and cast her gaze beyond the distant cave sky.
"To be specific, let's start from before I was born——"
