My dragon

"Dad, Dad, hug, hug."

Long Si hugged Nan Huailin's leg tightly with both arms, looked up at him with his small face, and begged childishly.

Long San and Long Si, who were both backward elements, developed a revolutionary friendship, and a small group was split among the four brothers. Long San also ran to hug his other leg for a hug.

Nan Huailin squatted down, holding one in each hand.

During the breastfeeding period, he went from holding the first dragon to the fourth, and his arms were developed early, and it was effortless to hold both of them at the same time.

The one on the left of Nanhuailin is the one on the right and the one on the right, and said with a smile: "Look over there, Yuyu, let's go home."

Long Yi and Long Er were playing with their newly-acquainted mermaid buddies not far away, Nan Huailin shouted: "Long Yi, take brother, we're going home."

Long Yi obediently held Long Er's chubby hand, waved politely to his little friend, then jolted over to catch up with Nan Huailin, and grabbed his trousers.

The growth rate of the babies is astonishingly fast. Long Yi and Long Er can already run now. Although they often wrestle, Long San and Long Si are still walking unsteadily, but they have already started to babble. Nan Huailin felt his heart melt when he called out "Dad, Dad" in anger.

"Shark!" Long Er pointed to the sea separated by a wall, and blurted out the new vocabulary he just learned from his father.

Nan Huailin turned his head and saw a huge shark wandering outside the "city wall".

After the second child was born, Nanhuailin and Feicheng brought four dragon cubs and three dragon eggs - the newly born Long Liu and Long Qi, and the long-awaited Long Wu - In the blink of an eye, the underwater city has been living here for more than a month.

Life in the Undersea City is leisurely and slow. There is no day or night here, no hustle and bustle, only their family, a few mermaids, and countless sea creatures outside the "city wall". Nanhuailin is not as busy as Fei Zheng expected. Not used to it, on the contrary, he likes such a peaceful life very much, a bit like the ancients living in the mountains and forests.

The area of ​​the Undersea City is not too big, about the same as the Forbidden City in Beijing, or slightly larger, because it was built hundreds of years ago, so the architectural style here is quite retro - and it is still a mix and match style, with Eastern and Western characteristics , and even imitated two buildings that resembled pyramids. Philadelphia said that they were the "Dragon Market", the tomb of the dragon family, and his parents were buried there. The illusion of passing through.

At this time, Nan Huailin was holding Long San and Long Si in his arms, followed by Long Yi and Long Er who were dawdling behind, walking on the avenue beside the "city wall".

The "city wall" is transparent. On both sides of the wall are two completely different worlds. Inside the wall is the quiet and desolate underwater city, and outside the wall is the mysterious Atlantic Ocean.

Schools of colorful fish were swimming freely, when a big fish suddenly rushed over and dispersed the school of fish, while the small fishes fled in all directions.

The giant jellyfish shone brightly in the dark sea water, and its slender, ribbon-like tentacles floated leisurely. Philadelphia said it was its murder weapon and its "stomach".

The shark that Long Er saw just now followed them all the time, and suddenly bumped into the "city wall" with its fangs bared, making a muffled noise, which startled Nan Huailin, but the babies were amused and giggled.

This shark must be new here, Nan Huailin thought, otherwise he wouldn't be so stupid as to hit the wall.

"Daughter-in-law!" Suddenly heard the shout, Nanhuai Lin Xunsheng looked over, and saw Feicheng walking towards him quickly.

"Why did you come out?" Nan Huailin asked.

"Come to see you, Aunt Su called you home for dinner." Fei Cheng came to the front, reached out and took Long San to hold him with one hand, and held Long Yi's little hand with the other hand, "You didn't take the phone, Just now my mother sent you a video, and I answered it."

"I've already posted videos, and I've made great progress," Nan Huailin said with a smile, "What did you say?"

"I just asked you how you are and whether you are sick," Philadelphia said, "and said that the New Year will be in a month, and asked how we are thinking about adoption."

Nan Huailin asked: "What did you say?"

Philadelphia said: "I said that next May, I will guarantee that the two elders will have a grandson."

Nan Huailin thought for a while: "In May next year, when Long One, Two, Three, and Four will be one year old, they will be normal human babies. It should be no problem to show them to my parents."

"I thought so too," Philly said.

Nan Huailin said: "By the way, did Long Wu hatch today? No. Well, I'll ask tomorrow."

Because Long Wu never came out, Philadelphia put it together with Long Liu and Long Qi for a second incubation.

The way Philadelphia incubates eggs is also very strange. He has to become a dragon first, then swallow the dragon eggs into his stomach, hatch them with his own body temperature, eight hours a day, and finally spit out the dragon eggs.

Nan Huailin was always worried that Philadelphia would digest or break the dragon egg by doing so, but Philadelphia laughed at him for worrying, saying that the shell of the dragon egg is very hard, even if it is accidentally dropped on the ground, it may not break.

Hearing Nan Huailin's self-question and answer, Feicheng laughed and said, "Long Wu will definitely be a great man in the future, he is too calm."

Nan Huailin said: "If Dragon Five hatched last, wouldn't it be Dragon Five instead of Dragon Seven?"

Fei Cheng said with a smile: "Then we have to ask Long Qi if he is willing to give up the position of the youngest."

Got home chatting, had dinner, and the boys went to bed on time.

Philadelphia doesn’t need to incubate eggs at night, but sits on the sofa and reads a book. The name on the cover is "Basics of Film Script Writing"-he is currently learning to write scripts, and his goal is to let Nan Huailin star in the movie he wrote.

Nan Huailin was lying on the sofa with Philadelphia's legs on his pillow, watching a movie with his iPad.Watching is a very good way of learning. Watching the wonderful performances of actors who are famous in film history is of great help to improve their acting skills.So Nan Huailin made a film list for himself. There are [-] excellent Chinese and foreign films, some of which have not been watched, and some of which have been watched many times. For example, the "Taxi Driver" I watched today is probably the fifth time. Yes, the young Robert De Niro was really evil and crazy, it can be said to be very charming.

Philadelphia held a book in one hand, while carelessly playing with Nan Huailin's hair with the other.

Nan Huailin suddenly put down his iPad, looked at Philadelphia and said, "Husband, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem."

Philadelphia looked down at him: "What?"

Nan Huailin said: "Hair loss is hereditary. My dad started to bald at the age of 30. In a few years, I may also start to go bald."

Philadelphia laughed out loud, and said after laughing, "Don't worry, with the nourishment of dragon essence, you won't be bald even if you want."

Nan Huailin was dubious: "Dragon essence can also cure hair loss?"

Philadelphia said: "Whether the hair is thick or not depends on whether the kidney qi is full. Dragon essence is a good product for nourishing the kidney, so you won't be bald. Don't think about it."

It sounded reasonable, Nanhuai Lin believed it, and started watching movies again.

After a while, Philadelphia put down the book and said, "I can't read it when you interrupt me."

Nan Huailin laughed at him: "You blame me for not focusing on yourself."

Philadelphia pulled out the iPad from Nan Huailin's hand and put it aside, then picked him up and walked to the bedroom: "Do you still want to have thick hair, huh?"

Nan Huailin suppressed a smile and said, "I think."

Fei Cheng bowed his head and kissed him: "Why don't you obediently beg for irrigation?"

Nan Huailin shook his head: "I don't think I'll be bald for a while."

Philadelphia put him on the bed, then pressed the whole person up, put one hand on Nan Huailin's forehead, stroked his bangs back, clicked his tongue, and said, "Look, your hairline has already moved back. trend."

"Liar," Nan Huailin hurriedly took his hand away, "I don't believe it."

Philadelphia leaned on him and smiled for a while, stretched out his hand to take off his loose T-shirt, exposing his white shoulders, and began to kiss along the beautiful collarbone.

Nan Huailin inserted his hands into his hair and pulled gently, and said in a low voice, "I'm used to being nervous when I do it now."

Philadelphia asked vaguely, "Why are you nervous?"

Nan Huailin said, "I'm afraid of getting pregnant."

Philadelphia kissed his neck, looked up at him and said: "During the first and second births, you had a fever about three days after we mated. We haven't missed a single day this month, but you have been sick until now. You haven’t had a fever, which fully shows that the first two consecutive pregnancies are just accidental occurrences of small probability events, so the chances of you conceiving a third child in a short period of time are very small.”

Nan Huailin said solemnly: "Mr. Fei, please don't set up flags indiscriminately, okay?"

Philadelphia smiled and said, "Anyway, don't worry about it, just enjoy it, OK?"

Nan Huailin nodded: "OK."

Philadelphia continued the kiss just now, and Nan Huailin relaxed after being persuaded, and began to respond enthusiastically.

After kissing for a long time, both of them were ready to go, Philadelphia said in a hoarse voice, "Honey, shall we try something new today?"

Nanhuai Lin blushed, and asked weakly, "What?"

Philadelphia said: "Human-beast Play, dare you?"

Nan Huailin's heart skipped a beat: "You mean, you turned into a dragon?"

Philadelphia gave a "hmm" and said, "Does it feel very exciting just thinking about it?"

Stimulation is stimulation, but... Nan Huailin hesitated: "Is it too big? I'm afraid of pain..."

Philadelphia coaxed him: "Let's try it, and forget it if we can't get in."

Nan Huailin struggled for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

The result of "trying" was that Nan Huailin didn't say a word to Philadelphia all day the next day, and it was useless to coax him.

·

Another three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Philadelphia has been incubating eggs for four months, and both Dragon Six and Dragon Seven have seen obvious changes.

"Look," Philadelphia said, pointing to the dragon egg that had just been spit out of his stomach, "has the shell become a little transparent?"

Nan Huailin just stared at Long Qi, the egg shell was indeed much brighter than it was at the beginning, and he could vaguely see the inside of the egg, he was suddenly excited: "Long Qi seems to have moved just now!"

Philly smiled and said, "I didn't see it clearly."

Nan Huailin suddenly sighed again, looked at Long Wu next to Long Qi, and said worriedly: "But why hasn't Long Wu changed at all? Will it..."

"No," Philly interrupted him gently. "It will come out, but it will be later. Don't think about it."

Nan Huailin smiled reluctantly.

Philadelphia said: "There is still one week before the Spring Festival. My brother said that he would come to celebrate the New Year with us. Let him see Long Wu again at that time."

Nan Huailin nodded, and suddenly thought of Lan Silote: "I haven't heard from Xiaolan for a long time, and I don't know if he is still in Beijing. How is he doing recently?"

Philadelphia smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, Xiaolan is very strong, and he will have a good life."

On New Year's Eve, Fei Zheng came to the Undersea City and brought Ruan Xin with him.

Ruan Xin's appearance was really unexpected, but Fei Cheng was just stunned, and then smiled and shouted: "Sister-in-law!"

Ruan Xin smiled, did not agree, but did not refute.

Nan Huailin knew that Fei Zheng and Ruan Xin were finally together.

Although this was the result he was happy to see, when he thought of Xiaolan, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Without taking a sip of water, Fei Cheng took Fei Zheng to see Long Wu, and Fei Zheng gave the answer: "It's very good, just wait."

Nan Huailin was a little relieved, but if Long Wu didn't break his shell, he couldn't really feel at ease for a day.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Ruan Xin asked Nan Huailin to take him out for a walk.

Their home is right next to the "city wall". Nan Huailin took Ruan Xin along the "Coastal Avenue" to watch the colorful underwater world.

"It's so beautiful here," Ruan Xin sighed, "It's like a huge aquarium."

Nan Huailin said: "I take the children for a walk on this road every day, and I took tens of thousands of photos."

Ruan Xin said: "The babies are very cute, you and Philly raised them very well."

Nan Huailin smiled: "How are you? You seem to be much thinner than before."

Ruan Xin said: "I was ill a while ago, but now I have recovered."

Nan Huailin was taken aback: "Is it serious?"

Ruan Xin said lightly: "I feel okay after getting through it."

Nan Huailin politely didn't ask any more questions, but he probably could catch some clues from his memories.

Ruan Xin's illness should have started in April last year, and he has been ill for a long time, otherwise he would not have been so thin until now.

Moreover, it should be this serious illness that catalyzed the relationship between Ruan Xin and Fei Zheng.Fei Zheng had a lover who died of illness before, when the same situation happened again, he must have had a painful choice.

"What are you thinking?" Ruan Xin asked.

"It's nothing." Nan Huailin returned to his senses and smiled at him.

The underwater city is round, and the two of them walked a huge circle around the "Coastal Avenue" and returned to the original point.

Ruan Xin was probably tired, and when he got home and sat on the sofa, he couldn't get up, Fei Zheng silently carried him back to the bedroom.

Nan Huailin bent down to pick up Long Si who was about to be hugged, and asked Fei Cheng: "What have you been talking about with your brother?"

Philadelphia drove the sons to the room like a duck, and said with a smile: "My brother said that he and Ruan Xin are getting married, and the wedding date is set in May, so that we can also attend the wedding."

Nan Huailin smiled and said, "It's really great."

Philadelphia let out a long breath: "Daughter-in-law, why do I feel so relieved? It's like... the feeling that a son who has difficulty getting married suddenly finds a wife, do you understand?"

Nan Huailin laughed: "Let your brother hear that he must beat you up."

Putting the sons into the crib, Long Yi and Long Er fell asleep obediently, but Long San and Long Si still had to be coaxed, the couple hugged and patted each other gently.

Philadelphia said in a low voice, "By the way, my brother has finally chosen the names of the children." Then, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket with one hand, unfolded it and handed it to Nan Huailin, "Look I am not satisfied."

On the paper is a string of names written in strong pen writing.

Long Yifei Qi

Long Er Fei Xun

Dragon Three Phelan

Long Si Feian

Dragon Five Fei Xi

Nan Huailin smiled and said, "I like all of them very much."

"And Fischer can use it on both boys and girls," Philly said.

Nan Huailin gently kissed Long Si: "Son, you finally have a proper name, are you happy?"

Long Si snorted, Nan Huailin and Fei Cheng smiled at each other, and concentrated on coaxing their son to sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fei Zheng and Fei Cheng took Ruan Xin and Nan Huailin to the Dragon Market to worship their parents.

After staying for another day, Fei Zheng and Ruan Xin left the seabed city in the third year of junior high school. They had too much work to do.

And on the night they left, Long Wu, who had been in the dragon egg for nearly a year, broke out of the egg without warning.

After Nan Huailin coaxed his sons to sleep, when he returned to his bedroom, he vaguely heard a sound from the room specially used for hatching eggs in Philadelphia.

He hurried over, opened the door, and was stunned.

On the floor of the room, a little dragon the size of a sparrow was walking slowly with an eggshell on it. When it saw Nanhuailin, it ran towards him while screaming "Jiujiu" and flapping its wings. He stopped the car and hit Nan Huailin's ankle with his head. After taking two steps back, he fell into a squatting position, and the eggshell on top of his head fell off.

Nan Huailin witnessed all this, but stood there stupidly not daring to move. He shouted in a trembling voice, "Philadelphia! Come here!"

Hearing the sound, Philadelphia came out of the bedroom in a hurry: "What's the matter, daughter-in-law?"

Nan Huailin pointed to Xiaolong who couldn't get up after falling and squatting on the ground, and said, "You, look."

"Damn it!" Feicheng ran over quickly, squatted down on the ground, carefully took Xiaolong who was struggling to stand up into his palm, held it in front of Nan Huailin for him to see, and said excitedly: "Daughter-in-law, Our little five... finally, finally came out!"

Nan Huailin stared at Xiaolong in Philadelphia's palm, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, as well as tears he held back.

"But," Philadelphia also stared at the little dragon, "Why are its wings red? Could it be a genetic mutation?"

Nan Huailin said dully, "Moreover, it doesn't have dragon horns."

Only then did Philadelphia notice that the little dragon crouching in his palm really didn't have horns on top of his head, and he was instantly ecstatic: "Because it's a little dragon girl! Little dragon girls don't have horns!"

The helpless and pitiful little dragon girl who had just broken her shell, had a pair of red wings and no horns on her head, was frightened into tears by her father's voice. Her tears fell on the palm of Philadelphia and condensed into beads, but they were not transparent, but With a little bit of red.

Nan Huailin then cried and laughed.

At this moment, the two fathers were immersed in the great touch and surprise of Longwu finally breaking his shell and seeing the dragon girl. Neither of them had the time to think about why this little dragon girl who arrived so late was so different.

Perhaps, they will not think about this issue in the future.

Or maybe, they thought hard but couldn't get the answer.

In this world, there are many things that cannot be answered, and we can only wait for the day when the answer emerges by itself.
