Chapter 73: Little Dragon

Su Ruan stared back at the creature, wondering if perhaps she was worrying too much about her little friend that she had started to imagine things.

She watched as the creature slithered towards her and wrapped his body around her hands.

Her eyes finally focused and Su Ruan looked at the creature in her hand carefully. "Mushu!"

The moment Long Fei heard that name, he started to bare his teeth in displeasure.

It's that stupid name again!

However, even if Long Fei showed her that he was unhappy to be called with that name, Su Ruan does not seem as if she had noticed anything.

At this moment, Su Ruan was just too happy to see that creature again.

She held the creature with one hand and peeked outside the window. Once she was sure that there was nothing strange outside, Su Ruan brought the tiny dragon into her room and closed the window.

She then placed the dragon on her desk and caressed his head with a finger. "Are you alright?" Su Ruan recalled his injury last night and lifted the dragon up to look at the injured spot.

Long Fei struggled in her hands. To be lifted and handled like this by Su Ruan made him feel embarrassed.

A sigh of relief escaped her upon seeing that he was not injured.

"I was worried about you," Su Ruan said. Her brow furrowed. "You left without saying a word. I even thought that last night was nothing but my imagination."

Long Fei looked up and saw the worry on her face. He felt slightly guilty that he had left while she was sleeping but there was nothing else he could do about it either.

It was not possible for a dragon to leave a note to tell her not to worry about him, right?

That would be too scary.

"You don't know how worried I am when I heard that they have found a snake carcass in the lake," Su Ruan continued. "I thought… it was you. I thought something had happened to you. I thought someone had found you and killed you."

Long Fei stared back at her in shock. He certainly did not think that Su Ruan would be this worried about him.

His heart ached. He did not like the sad expression on her face.

Long Fei climbed over her arms and patted her cheek with his tiny claw.

Seeing this scene made Su Ruan stunned. She took him off her shoulder and stared at him for a long time. Gradually, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Mushu, are you trying to comfort me?"

His movement halted when he heard that name.

Long Fei grew frustrated, not knowing how he should tell her that his name was not Mushu and he really did not like that stupid dragon.

First of all, he is a lake's dragon and he could not spit fire through his mouth. However, he can control the water. Secondly, he was not as stupid as that fictional character. Long Fei also thought that he was more good-looking than that stupid dragon.

Su Ruan seemed to notice that the creature did not look very happy. She tilted her head to one side and raised a brow. "You don't seem to like this name."

Long Fei stared back at her and bared his teeth again.

His response shocked her.

Last night, this dragon had responded to most of her questions as well. She had thought of him as an intelligent creature. Now that he had responded to her again, Su Ruan was sure that this tiny dragon could really understand human words.

"Then, what do you like me to call you?" Su Ruan asked.

Long Fei wished that he could tell her his name. However, Long Fei did not doubt that Su Ruan would throw his body out of the window once she find out who he is.

A grownup man sneaking into a young maiden room… Surely, that man's intention could not be pure.

However, Long Fei had no other option. He needed to be close to her and this was the only way he knew. His situation was too complicated. As a human, Su Ruan seemed to have her guards up. But with this form, Su Ruan would let him get close to her.

"I don't know how should I call you." A thought came to her mind and her lips curled into a faint smile. "Then, should I just call you Little Dragon?"

Long Fei pondered over this nickname. He was not too happy with this name. However, anything is better than Mushu.

Seeing that the dragon did not look unhappy, Su Ruan finally heaved in relief. "Then, I will call you Little Dragon from now on."

Long Fei stared back at her with a complicated look on his face. In the end, he could only tell himself to bear with this name.

"Little Dragon, I'm just glad that you are safe." Su Ruan scooped him in her hand again and brought him over to her bed. She placed him on the soft mattress and patted his head with her finger again. "From now on, you need to be careful."

Su Ruan frowned again when she recalled the group of people who came to her grandpa's orchard earlier that day. Her instinct was telling her that there was something wrong with that group of people led by that professor. However, Su Ruan could not figure out what it was.

"Earlier today, there was a group of people from the city who came to look at the snake's carcass. I saw the old professor holding a bullet that looked similar to the one you dig out from your body last night."

Long Fei's expression darkened, knowing that Su Ruan was talking about that old man and his group.

"Little Dragon, could it be that the person who hunted you last night was the same person who killed the snake?"

Long Fei hesitated to answer. He was worried that Su Ruan would be in danger if she knew a little too much. Before she agreed to stay by his side, it would be better if she knew less about him.

Wanting to avoid her inquiring gaze, Long Fei moved to her pillow and coiled himself into a comfortable position.

Anyway, the only reason he came to find Su Ruan was to heal a little faster.

"Hey, are you not going to answer?"

Long Fei feigned a yawn and closed his eyes.

Seeing that the dragon was no longer in the mood to chat with her, Su Ruan could only sigh.
