There's Something Off About This Dragon

During an operation, the director of the Anomalous Affairs Bureau rescued a dragon from an auction on the high seas.

The silver-white dragon was curled up weakly in a small, filthy iron cage, gazing at him with watery eyes. It looked frail, pitiful, and helpless.

The director brought the white dragon back to the bureau, but the rescued dragon was unusually clingy. In the end, he had no choice but to take it home.

It was the right thing to do, he told himself at first.

But little by little, things started to feel off.

The dragon might have been ridiculously frail, but it was just too cute.

Lying in bed with the dragon, now in human form, in his arms, the director thought calmly: It doesn't matter. He's strong enough to protect this somewhat naive, frail dragon forever.

But trouble always strikes when you least expect it. One day, a ferocious beast in custody escaped from the bureau.

Furious, twisted, and malicious, it was going to take revenge on the people of the Anomalous Affairs Bureau!

They said the bureau director's partner was a useless dragon who could get sick just from eating a little extra ice.

The director would surely be heartbroken when he learned his partner had been eaten. He might even cry.

Ha ha.

The director raced home as soon as he got the news. The moment he opened the door, the white dragon clung to him. "You're home early today."

He sounded excited. "I bought a fish downstairs just now. Let's make fish stew with pickled cabbage later!"

The man turned his head and met the eyes of the ferocious beast, bound hand and foot and tossed into the pool, tears in its eyes.

The director: ???

After sleeping for three hundred years, the white dragon emerged from the sea to find that his fortune had been swept away to who knows where, and the whole world had changed beyond recognition.

This was a terrifying era where even ghosts had to work nine to nine, six days a week!

The dragon, with no qualifications and once again penniless, stood outside a factory for ages, unable to work up the courage to go in.

After spending a few days learning about modern society, he saw a cat-and-dog-lover forum on a computer at an internet cafe and made an important decision.

He was going to find himself a dragon's servant!

But first, he needed a disguise.

Ever since the dragon got gastroenteritis from eating a popsicle, the director had strictly controlled his diet.

Having such a fragile partner was a real headache.

Luckily, the dragon was very cooperative.

Until one day, the director spotted a subordinate watching a livestream.

A familiar face appeared on screen.

"Thanks for all the gifts! Today's challenge: fifty popsicles in half an hour!"

The dragon gleefully held up the popsicles in his hands and took two bites at a time.

The man's eyes slowly widened: ???

Theme: Life goes on.
