Dreaming With My Dragon Lover

The two of them discussed the usage of the robot for a while before finally settling down at the table to eat. But Rong Qiuchen's attention was soon drawn to the decorations on Yuan Ge's dining table.

"Childe Yuan, why is there a little fish in this ball? And how did it swim into it?"

Rong Qiuchen curiously picked up a glass ball on the table and examined it, finding it completely sealed. Inside was clean white sand and soft water plants, and a small neon-coloured fish swimming around. He looked in amazement at the vibrant colours and exotic species like he had never seen such things before.

"Oh, it's a smart ecological fish tank. The model I have is a miniature version. If I only keep one fish in it, I don't need to change the water for months. It's very easy to take care of as it feeds, changes the air and cleans automatically... Hey, don't go scaring him! He's a living thing, not a robot fish, and he's very timid!" .

Rong Qiuchen was holding the small fish tank in his hands and when he heard Yuan Ge's warning, he took a close look at it. The little fish in the tank had indeed been frightened by him taking it up from the table and was banging against the glass wall. He hurriedly put the fish tank back on the table and apologised repeatedly.

"It's okay. The little guy is way too timid. It's a pity there is no mental hospital for fish, otherwise I would definitely take him to see a doctor. A male fish is so shy about being watched, there must be something wrong with him."

"Childe Yuan, you can try to keep another one so that these two fish can form a pair and keep each other company. Maybe they won't feel lonely and timid then."

Yuan Ge nodded at his words, "You have a point. Why didn't I think of it? Remind me later to go to the fish market and buy another one." Seeing that Qiuchen was too busy satisfying his curiosity to lift his chopsticks to eat , Yuan Ge urged, "Come on, let's finish eating brunch first. We have plenty of time to worry about other things later."

But Qiuchen's mind was not on the food, his eyes were once again fixed on the green plants on the table. Inside the small, simple, snow-white plastic pot, there were a bunch of miniature plants. The little green leaves were like those from a doll house, but they were so tender, so lush, and covered with colourful fruits. Illuminated by the light above the plastic pots, they looked like bonsai, but more delicate and adorable.

Yuan Ge saw his curious look and smiled, "This is a mini seeding station grown by LED lights. I brought it back from abroad. It's kind of like my little vegetable garden, growing directly on the dining table, isn't it cute?"

Rong Qiuchen touched the small bright green spring onion and nodded in amazement.

"By the way, if you don't think the tortellini is seasoned enough, you can just pick a few cherry tomatoes and peppers and mix them with a few basil leaves. They taste very good together." When Yuan Ge saw that Qiuchen seemed reluctant to do so, he simply picked a few fruits and leaves and put them on his plate, "Try it, yellow tomatoes, red peppers and green basil leaves, the colours certainly look very appetising, but you be the judge of whether the aroma and taste are up to scratch!" He sprinkled grated Parmesan cheese over the tortellini for him, and then he placed a piece of fried sea bass on his plate, "Have a try. Actually I'm not that bad a cook, am I?"

Rong Qiuchen ate some of the food on his plate and could not help but look up again, gazing at Yuan Ge's handsome face without saying anything, as if in a daze.

Yuan Ge, however, was still gloating over his little seeding station. He smiled cheerfully and said, "I usually only come back to this house once a week, and this thing is producing just the right amount of produce, so it should have no problem supplying the two of us."

"Childe Yuan is well versed in the pleasures of life, kind-hearted, refined and has a childlike spirit. If... any lady is fortunate enough to be your companion and become the future Lady Yuan, she will be blessed beyond measure."

Yuan Ge laughed at his words, "I've heard similar talks about 'Mrs Yuan' from Amélie before. Why are you all so concerned about what kind of girl I'm going out with? Even my mother wasn't in such a hurry to ask me to get married. I'm doing pretty well with my life as it is, aren't I?"

Looking a little awkward, Rong Qiuchen said in a low voice, "You are quite right, Childe Yuan. I have indeed overstepped my bounds."

"No problem at all. I don't mind you saying that. I've brought you home as a friend, it's not like the old times when it was all about social class and status. I'm not the Third Lord, so I don't have so many rules. Just say whatever you want, make yourself at home, and we'll go shopping after brunch!"
