Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

The room in the annex was much larger than what Alai had imagined. It was a suite consisting of a living room, dining room, dressing room, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchenette.

Alai opened the dormitory and looked in. Of course there was only a super big bed inside. Alai, who had been mentally prepared, looked away and looked at other places in the room.

I don't know what kind of material the brown-black floor is made of. It feels warm when you step on it. There is also a strange warm fragrance in the room, mixed with the cool tone of the ocean, which is comfortable and pleasant.

Pushing open the sliding door, there is an open-air hot spring outside. The spring water changes color under the light, revealing some light pink, which should be due to the reflection of the sea cherry tree growing next to it in the water.

Sea cherry blossoms like to be warm and bloom every month, and this is the best time to bloom.The petals are layered on top of each other, tender pink, vermilion, pink and white... staggered on the branches.

The petals fell one after another, covering the spring water with a light red dress.

Alai guessed that what he smelled in the room just now was probably the flower scent of this tree.

Low fluorescent shrubs surround the hot spring verdantly, ensuring privacy while adding a bit of romance to the courtyard.

The honeymoon suite was hammered, and Alai's eyes stayed on the spring water, and he was quite speechless complaining in his head.He felt that Avery knew what Avery was thinking when he prepared this room for him and Ned without guessing.

I just don't know if the room between him and Werther is also so... ambiguous.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, and the light on the bottom of the sea was a little cold blue, filtered gently by the sea cherry blossoms, and shone on the young man who seemed to be in a daze.

At this time, Alai was still wearing the orange hoodie he had when he went out in the morning. He put his hands in the big pockets, which seemed out of place with the scenery here, and always showed his identity from another world.

Ned, who is also from another world, saw Alai staring at the water in a daze, leaned over from behind, hugged him, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you in a daze?"

Ah Lai came back to his senses and turned to look at Ned. For some reason, he could hear some... temptation from this sentence.

Ned?lure?

How did these two words come together?

A Lai was taken aback by his own description.He shook his head, trying to shake off the messy thoughts that popped up in his head.For a moment, he didn't realize that he was still held in Ned's arms.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Alai was no stranger to Ned's embrace, and he couldn't explain why. Ever since he met Ned, he had never resisted Ned's contact.

The flowers in the courtyard were blooming just right, and Ned's body temperature was pressed against Alai's body through his clothes, making him forget for a moment what he was thinking just now.

But it doesn't really matter.

Alai leaned on Ned, feeling the steady heartbeat behind him, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly, finally regaining the original rhythm of getting along with Ned.

Slowly, not in a hurry, time is pulled slowly, but there is peace of mind everywhere.

He raised his hand and quietly covered his chest with the palm of his hand. The heartbeat there was slowing down, and his heart fell back peacefully, soaked in the warm water, which was a temperature he was familiar with.

The two of them just cuddled together quietly without speaking.In the thin white smoke, I smiled and watched the petals in the yard slowly fall and float into the water, causing slight ripples.

***

On the other side, Alai and Ned are enjoying the belated two-person world, but they both ignore the little dragon cub who came with them.

As soon as the little dragon cub entered the door, Ned put it on the low log table in the living room as if he disliked it. Fortunately, he is a generous and easy-to-raise baby dragon.

I saw him lying on the cold table for a while, and then started playing by himself.He stretched first, and then started chasing his own dragon's tail.

Turning around on the table had a lot of fun, but the joy turned into sadness, and accidentally turned to the floor.

Fortunately, the little dragon cub was a qualified dragon with rough skin and thick flesh, not only did it not hurt at all, but he simply lay on the floor and did not move.

The floor was warm, and there was a reassuring scent in the air. The little dragon cub was already drowsy, but when he raised his head by chance, he was attracted by the hot spring outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The spring water is rippling, and there are wisps of white mist.

The little dragon cub, who had never seen a hot spring before, opened his big round golden eyes, followed the falling petals, and finally couldn't help flapping his wings, and flew towards the hot spring.

Ah Lai saw a black shadow whizzing past him, and when A Lai had no time to stop it and Ned was too lazy to stop it, the little dragon cub jumped into the hot spring with a 'crash'.

A huge splash of water instantly splashed Alai and Ned all over.

The moment Alai got wet, he hurriedly withdrew from Ned's embrace.

This is good, the clothes are half wet but not wet, so I can't do without a bath.If it wasn't absolutely impossible, he even wanted to suspect that the little dragon cub was sent by Ned.

Ah took a look at Ned, who was full of innocence, and wiped his face expressionlessly, thinking helplessly.

And in the hot spring next to it, the little dragon cub swam around with his little claws, big round eyes popped out of the water, and he spit out a few bubbles.

Alai stared at the little dragon cub who was having fun in the water, and felt even more helpless, "I'll take a bath first..." He wiped his face again, scratched his half-wet hair, turned around and headed towards the bathroom go.

However, after walking a few steps, Alai stopped.He glanced back at Ned who was following him, and asked inexplicably, "Why are you following me? I'm going to take a shower."

"I know." Ned nodded solemnly, "I'm with you." He continued.

"I'm, going, taking, bathing!" Alai emphasized.

"I know...but I got wet too." Ned said, shaking his dripping sleeve innocently.

Alai stood there and thought for a while before he understood what Ned meant.

There is only one bathroom, and he got wet too, so why not take a shower together...

Perfect logic, nothing wrong with it.

Who says there's nothing wrong with it?There is a big problem!Who wants to take a bath with Ned... What kind of progress is this? Isn't this speed already fast? It's like driving at the speed of light and flying out of outer space.

Alai collapsed crazily in his head, wishing he could shake Ned's collar, but he held back in the end.

Let alone shaking the collar, it is very likely that his hand will be dislocated in the end. Just judging from Ned's current state, it would be like a sheep entering the dragon's mouth if he went there, and he would never return.

Alai secretly took a look at the clothes that were tightly attached to Ned's body, and the side face covered with water droplets, and finally resisted the temptation, rushed all the way into the bathroom with red ears, and shook his hands before Ned followed. the door.

Seeing Alai running in the direction of the bathroom, Ned subconsciously followed two steps, but seeing Alai's attitude, he hesitated.The result was locked out.

"Go to the next room to take a shower. This annex is so big, there must be more than one bathroom." Alai leaned against the door, holding his hot face, and shouted at Ned who was wandering by the door. He could hear some anger from embarrassment.

When Ned heard this, he sighed slightly, feeling that he had missed a good opportunity.But he didn't dare to really follow Alai into the bathroom just now, he always felt that if he kept pushing, his partner would really get angry.

Although Alai was smiling most of the time, after getting along for such a long time, Ned could clearly distinguish when Alai was really happy, when he was pretending to be indifferent, and... what Time to be really angry.

Ned, who avoided a crisis by relying on instinct, thought of this, agreed in a low voice, and obediently went to the next door to take a shower.

Only one little dragon cub was left, still spitting bubbles in the hot spring pool.

***

When Alai came out of the bathroom, Ned had already soaked in the hot spring leisurely.

In fact, the dragon race is very sensitive to humidity. Too dry air will make the roots of their scales itchy. Although it does not affect their health, it will still be uncomfortable.

Like the greenhouse in Alai's space, as well as the humidity here, are all environments that make Ned feel comfortable.

The young man's expression was very relaxed, his wheat-colored skin was bright and dark under the shadow of the tree, and his slightly long hair was pulled back after being wet, revealing a sharp-edged face.

He is naked/topless, while other parts are hidden in the water, obscured by flower petals.But the lines with distinct textures on the abdomen and arms all show the power that belongs to the dragon clan.

At this time, Ned was leaning on the edge of the hot spring pond with his eyes half closed, thinking about something.Seeing Alai walking out, he suddenly raised his eyes to look over, his golden eyes formed a vertical pupil, like a wild animal awakened.

Alai was fixed in place by Ned's eyes, like a herbivore caught by a beast, he froze there, forgetting to run away.

He suddenly remembered what happened when he and Ned met for the first time, those sharp, cold eyes that belonged to top predators.

But now, the emotion rolling in those eyes was like flowing magma, which made Alai's heart tremble.

When did Ned become so stupid in his eyes?A Lai wondered in confusion, is it time to sign the contract?Or when he first invited Ned to eat hot pot?

When exactly... did I fall in love with him?

Just when Alai fell into the philosophical myths of "I love her, how much I love him, when did I fall in love with him..." Ned also looked at Alai carefully.

It may be because of the haste just now, Alai didn't have time to let Ned take out his change of clothes from the space.At this time, the boy was wearing a bathrobe prepared for guests in the annex.

The dark blue lines made the young man look even fairer. The water droplets on the black hair slid down his jaw, crossed the collarbone, and finally disappeared into the overlapping collar.

His cheeks were slightly red, and even his neck was dyed a light cherry pink, and his shoulders and neckline pulled out a beautiful arc.A pair of cat eyes were bright and clear, and the black pupils were full of Ned's figure.

They looked at each other across the hot spring pool, forgetting to look away for a moment.

The boy looks weak and well-behaved, but Ned knows very well what kind of bright and tenacious soul his partner hides under such a body.

Ned, who is a dragon, actually couldn't fully understand human aesthetics, but at this moment, looking at Alai in front of him, he realized the meaning of beauty for the first time.

Like a butterfly fluttering its wings for the first time, a flower quietly blooming, and the moon covering the green hills...

It looks fragile, but it is full of vitality.

His partner, his partner...beautiful.
