The Little Dragon I Picked Up Always Wants Me to Touch Its Tail

[Due to my heavy academic workload, I stopped updating for a long time and can no longer find the outline for this novel. After rereading it, I feel it has strayed too far from my original plan, so I won't be updating it for now. When I have time in the future, I'll give it a major revision. I'm sorry to all the sweet angels who have been waiting! Thank you so much for your support and for thinking of me, sob sob.]

Before the mysterious "Eighth Continent" appeared, the world had always been governed by science.

Then one day, scientists descended thirteen thousand meters beneath the sea and discovered two... dragon remains on the "Eighth Continent."

The world was thrown into an uproar.

But what should have been an event remembered throughout history instead gave rise to disaster because of humanity's greed. Monsters fused with dragon genes were born, known as dragon-like species.

As a biological researcher, Lu Cenxi was assigned to study dragons and dragon-like species because of his excellent work. After handing over a confiscated test subject to the military during one such exchange, he went home after work and picked up a half-dragon, half-human creature from the roadside.

The poor thing was covered in wounds and had escaped from a laboratory where it was being used as a test subject. Feeling sorry for him, Lu Cenxi gave him a name and took him in. Then...

"Get your tail off me."

"Oh..."

A little while later.

"Lu Shi."

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to get angry."

"QAQ"

"...Fine. Cling to me if you want."

"ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

One day, after the research institute took in several new half-dragon, half-human dragon-like test subjects, the big shot Lu brought the little dragon to the institute, told him to get along with his new companions, and then confidently went off to a meeting.

Ten minutes later, the highest-level alarm rang throughout the entire institute.

Lu Cenxi came back with a headache and saw the little dragon sitting on a table, chin raised disdainfully, his tail tightly wrapped around the neck of another dragon-like creature.

Dozens of guns were aimed at the little dragon. Lu Cenxi went forward helplessly.

An accompanying staff member warned him, "Professor Lu, the target is dangerous. Please don't approach recklessly!"

But as soon as the little dragon saw him, his eyes lit up and he pounced over, calling, "Xixi!"

He looked ready to roll around and act cute on the spot.

Everyone: ...

#Let's talk about that guy who's a clingy puppy in public but a wolf behind closed doors#

#What on earth did I pick up?#

Content warnings:

1. The seme is the seme, the seme, the seme! Lu Cenxi is the seme!

2. The author has a thing for nonhumans and is a pervert.

3. The setting is made up. Technology is more advanced than in the real world, but only to a limited extent. There may be some futuristic technology. If you find any plot holes, just assume the author is an arts student who doesn't understand science and ignore them.

4. More to be added if I think of anything.

Theme: No matter how advanced technology becomes, we must still hold nature's laws in awe.
