Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

They had to leave quickly.

If they didn't, something might happen.

In the darkness, he reached out and took Rossweise's hand—originally intending to grab her wrist directly, but the lighting was too dim to see clearly.

Rossweise was startled for a moment, her fingers instinctively curling slightly. However, once she regained her composure, she held Leon's hand tightly in hers in the darkness.

Her thoughts mirrored Leon's: 'RUN!'

Given their streak of luck so far, even if the odds of being selected were one in ten thousand, they would still need to flee.

The couple snuck over to the side aisle, hoping to escape soon.

Unfortunately...

They were too late.

The spotlight, which had been roaming over the couple seating area, like the grim reaper selecting its prey, finally came to a stop.

To everyone's surprise, the spotlight did not settle in the couple seating area. Instead, it landed on the side aisle.

Under the spotlight stood a man and a woman, holding hands, seemingly attempting to sneak away.

The audience gasped in shock.

After a brief moment of surprise, the host quickly explained, "Oh, it seems like there was an issue with the spotlight, and it accidentally pointed at the aisle. But no worries, we've still selected a couple."

Standing under the spotlight, Leon and Rossweise felt the burning gazes of the audience, as if countless fiery arrows were roasting them alive, their every pore emitting heat.

'Seriously? Even running to the aisle didn't save us?'

'Is this a complete dead end?'

"No, no, no! We—we're not a couple. We only bought the couple's seat because there were no other tickets left." Leon tried to explain awkwardly, desperate to avoid reenacting the final proposal scene on stage.

"Don't be shy! You're both wearing matching couple outfits; how could you not be a couple?"

'Couple outfits...'

'So this is part of the director's master plan?'

(Every detail carefully laid out, leaving no loose ends! Well done, dear daughter.)

Rossweise silently covered her face with her other hand.

'Indeed, there's no escaping fate.'

'This is probably... destiny.'

"Come on, please step onto the stage and begin your performance. Everyone's just here to have fun."

"Yeah, yeah! You two look perfect together. If you act, we'll definitely be cheering for your chemistry."

"Go, go! You've got this!"

The audience erupted into cheers and whistles.

The couple exchanged glances and ultimately resigned themselves to their fate.

After all, their daughters were somewhere nearby, secretly observing them. How could they not put on a good show?

So, amidst the applause and watchful eyes of the crowd, they stepped onto the stage.

The male lead from earlier handed Leon a ring.

It was a prop ring, but it felt real to the touch. Its surface sparkled beautifully, so much so that from a distance, it looked even more real than the real thing.

Leon scoffed internally, 'If this ring were big enough, I'd gladly throw it around all of your necks—'

"Alright, our brave leading man, now please kneel on one knee and offer your sincerest... love to your leading lady."

———

The audience, who initially planned to leave after the show, saw there was an ending bonus scene and returned to their seats to wait.

Even the actors who had already taken their curtain call didn't leave the stage. Instead, they stayed there, intending to closely observe the performance of these "civilian artists."

Among this group of actors, there were two props meant to remain completely still—small stone pedestals—that had somehow stealthily moved to one side of the stage.

CLAP—CLAP—CLAP—

The host slowly started clapping, looking at Leon's expression, and couldn't help but praise,"This gentleman may not be a professional actor, but if everyone looks closely at his facial expressions—the shyness and awkwardness he portrays are done so vividly. At the same time, his longing and anticipation for the proposal are also deeply moving."

In the host's awkward compliments, Leon faced Rossweise and slowly knelt on one knee.

He tried his best to block out the host's continuous stream of flattery.

But the host's combo moves were relentless.

"Look at this kneeling posture, the way he gazes at his partner, the sincerity of handing over the ring."

"This gentleman truly has both acting skills and emotion."

"If he and the lady in front of him weren't true love, how could he deliver such a performance?"

"Everyone, a round of applause!"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP—

Thunderous applause erupted again from the audience.

Even the professional actors on stage were swayed by the host's hype and began clapping.

For some reason, this scene felt inexplicably familiar.

'Where have I experienced this before...?'

'Where exactly...?'

'Oh—'

Leon remembered.

It wasn't the scene that felt familiar; it was the host's CP-shipping enthusiasm that looked very familiar—

'It is exactly like that old dragon Vice Principal Wilson.'

'So, are you an undercover agent sent by Wilson?'

'Well, our country has a complete set of punishments for undercover agents: hanging.'

'But hanging is too cruel. As a dragon slayer, I am magnanimous. I can send you to the afterlife with one move—painless, effortless, in the blink of an eye.'

The audience below and the actors on stage, under the host's guidance, had all focused their attention on Leon and Rossweise.

They completely ignored the two stone pedestals on stage, played by people.

One pedestal scooted closer to the other, whispering, "Sister, Dad is about to propose to Mom. Why aren't you smiling?"

"Luna, don't you feel... this scene looks familiar?"

Luna blinked in confusion and shook her head. "Luna forgot."

Noah sighed. "Well, you were watching the show from the audience back then. The ones who were humiliated on stage were Mommy, Daddy, and me."

Every time Noah recalled the opening ceremony where they had to speak as a model family, she felt so embarrassed she wanted to scratch her tail off.

'Now, why do we have to relive such a moment just to give me material for an essay?'

'Darn it, this is all because of choosing to disguise ourselves as pedestals.'

Initially, they wanted to observe their parents' reactions from the front, thinking it would be more effective.

Who knew... it worked too well.

But at this point, saying more is useless.

From another perspective, it's a pleasant surprise to see the protagonists accidentally reenacting a proposal scene right in front of them.

Noah hid quietly in the pedestal costume, silently observing.

'After kneeling, Dad held a prop ring and looked up at Mom.'

'Mom, like Dad, blushed shyly, unsure of what to do.'

Noah rarely saw this side of her mother.

'In daily life, Mom was a gentle yet strict parent;'

'At work, Mom was a responsible clan queen.'

'Even at the opening ceremony, Mom merely seemed embarrassed.'

'She wasn't like now—blushing and bashfully at a loss.'

'Oh well, this is fine too.'

'After all, when Dad proposed back then, Luna and I didn't see it. Now we can think of this as a replay.'

Leon pursed his lips and began reading his lines woodenly,

"My dear Judy—"

Judy was the female lead's name in the play.

Leon could only secretly thank his luck that the female lead wasn't named Rossweise.

"Will you... marry... me..."

At that moment, the embarrassment levels for Leon and Rossweise skyrocketed.

Even the setting sun's light almost couldn't hide the redness on their faces.

Heartbeats accelerated, brains overheated, and Leon felt dizzy.

He held Rossweise's slightly cool hand—soft palm, slender fingers, delicate wrist.

'Such beautiful hands.'

Leon's brain, nearly crashing from embarrassment, truly ignored everything around him.

At this moment, it seemed his eyes held only his "Judy."

His gaze followed her hand along her arm, finally stopping at her face.

Even from the "deathly 45-degree" angle, her face remained flawless.

Paired with her shy and charming expression, her stunning beauty was enough to steady Leon's nerves.

With their daughters secretly watching somewhere, Leon went all in.

"My dear Judy, will you marry me?"

Rossweise, with one hand held by Leon, clenched her couple's shirt with the other.

Every pore on her body seemed to be emitting heat; if not for the crowd, she might have curled her tail in embarrassment.

She bit her lower lip, clearly feeling her face burning.

She wanted to run—truly wanted to run.

'But... '

'This guy has the guts to say his lines.'

Could she let herself be outdone by her prisoner?

'Absolutely not!'

'Isn't it just accepting a proposal? What's so hard about that?'

"Nic—"

Nick was the male lead's name.
