"Are you going to raise me?"
Zheng Xiao, a social worker who came home from overtime work late at night, picked up a "beautiful dragon boy" in the corridor - black hair, purple horns, scales shining like gems, and called himself "Kes".
At first, Zheng Xiao thought it was a hallucination caused by working too much overtime. Cox's touch was too real and his smile was too beguiling, so he took him in by accident.
Kes is like a domesticated pet, well-behaved and dependent, filling Zheng Xiao's empty life with inhuman beauty.
Zheng Xiao made him noodles, touched his scales, and even felt sorry for the way he curled up in the old blanket - until he discovered that those scales could fetch sky-high prices on the black market.
"It's just a few pieces... It won't hurt very much."
Lies, greed, and disguised tenderness are peeled off layer by layer.
When purple scales become luxury goods, when dragon horns become collectibles, Danks' screams are drowned out by the laughter of the powerful——
Zheng Xiao finally remembered the ignored homophony:
kes, kill him.
When the police broke the door, they only saw a madman muttering to himself to the blood-stained purple scales:
"My dragon... Obviously won't die, right?"
I wrote it for practice. There may be some logical loopholes. It seems like I can just play around with it.
Intention: Different species live together and redeem each other.
