As a thousand-year-old city, Zhijiang has its own persistence and pride, and one of them is the ancient city that maintains its original flavor as much as possible.
But perseverance requires sacrifice. Antique buildings mean that it is difficult to build very advanced modern buildings here.
Therefore, there is no elf center near Xia Chen's home that has long been popular in most cities. This Mingyi Clinic is the first choice for residents here.
Xia Chen held Ibrahimovic, who looked very docile in his arms, and lined up, waiting for treatment.
Most of the people in front of him were old men and women holding pet elves such as Xiangwei Meow and Calling Wang.
Only they have the leisure to line up in this small elf clinic early in the morning to treat their precious elves who may have just sneezed.
Xia Chen is a well-known handsome young man from all over the ancient city. The uncles and aunts who lined up for treatment chatted with him warmly and cared about Ibrahimovic in his arms.
"Xiao Chen finally raised an elf. Oh, it's still an Eevee. The little guy is so cute."
"Wow, Ibrahimovic. There are many types of evolutions. You can choose whatever attributes you like. But the evolution stones are a bit expensive..."
"How much does the evolution stone cost? If Xiaochen comes to our house to be our son-in-law, it will be no problem to raise a big Ibrahimovic family."
"Old Mrs. Lu is thinking about this matter. Mingyi will be angry if you say such things again."
In this place without high-rise buildings, the neighborhood relations are quite harmonious. While Xia Chen is dealing with the care and teasing of the old man and old woman, he is also distracted by the condition of Ibrahimovic in his arms.
"Buyi..."
Little Ibrahimovic seemed to feel Xia Chen's concern and snuggled into his arms again.
The other target of ridicule, the girl sitting behind the reception desk, had a slightly blushing face.
With eyes pretending to be calm, he observed the caller on the table who seemed to be having difficulty breathing and his body was twitching from time to time, pretending not to hear the neighbor's kind jokes.
Rolling her eyelids, Mingyi roughly figured out the cause of the symptoms of the barking call.
…………
She took the caller off the table and said softly: "Dumpling, come down and take a few steps."
"Woah..."
The caller named Dumpling struggled to stretch his four short legs and paced slowly in the open space.
Mingyi crossed his arms across his chest and nodded thoughtfully, "Dumpling, try wagging your tail at the lucky egg again."
The caller stuck out his tongue, and his lightning-shaped yellow short tail swayed back and forth, and an invisible energy wave was released towards the auspicious egg next to Mingyi.
"Lucky~" Geely Dan felt the condition on his body and nodded towards Mingyi.
"Wag your tail again." Mingyi gave the instruction to the calling dog again.
The caller's tail swung again, but this time he had to frown and stop the move.
Mingyi smiled slightly and took the caller back to the table again, writing something in his hand.
While saying: "Dumpling should have just accidentally inhaled the paralysis powder and auspicious egg floated by a certain grass elf, so he went to get a dose of anti-anesthetic."
"Woah..."
The caller looked at Ming Yi pitifully with his big eyes, looking a little resistant to this result.
Xia Chen, who was at the back of the queue, smiled and added, "If you don't like taking medicine, you can also eat a cherry fruit. You may not be able to buy it in ordinary fruit stores. You have to go shopping in a large elf department store."
Ming Yi was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Xia Chen is right, eating cherry blossoms can also relieve paralysis."
When Lai Wang heard that he didn't need to take that bitter medicine, he immediately cheered up.
The short tail stood up and he jumped up and down, wanting to jump from the table into Xia Chen's arms to thank him for his kindness.
Ibrahimovic, who had already occupied Xia Chen's arms, glared, and an invisible pressure scared the caller back.
Before Xia Chen looked down at himself in surprise, his breath changed and he returned to his weak state.
The speed is so fast that it can be compared to Sichuan Opera Face Changing.
…………
"Okay, Grandma Lu, go buy some cherry fruits. Also, although I know you don't have the idea of letting dumplings fight, proper training can also make the elves healthier and resistant to various abnormal conditions and diseases. It can be better.”
Looking at Ming Yi who was earnestly admonishing her, Mrs. Lu nodded with a smile, "I know, Ming Yi, you are becoming more and more like Xiao Chen. I think your father can safely hand over this clinic to you two in the future..." .”
"What are you talking about? I...I am the woman who wants to become the champion of the Donghuang region!"
Mingyi's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, her chest heaved up and down, and she responded anxiously, not knowing which part of the teasing she was denying.
It's a good thing that Mrs. Lu doesn't understand Internet slang, otherwise her "Urgent!" sentence at this moment would be a surefire answer.
After the laughter, it was finally Xia Chen and Ibrahimovic's turn.
"Good morning, Ming Yi, is Uncle Ming visiting the doctor again today?" Xia Chen smiled and greeted this familiar girl.
Mingyi stuck out her tongue coquettishly, "Well, so I'm going to your house again for lunch."
The two grew up together, and even their parents knew each other. It would not be an exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts.
For Xia Chen, who inherited two memories, [Ming Yi] has another level of familiarity.
That's right, this Mingyi is the heroine of the Pokémon Black and White generation, Mei.
How to describe Meiyi...
Well, if Gardevoir is the Pokemon with the most fanfics, then Mei is the female character with the most fanfics...
With her side-cropped hair and twin tails, delicate appearance, and a body that's a little too good... the girl in front of her is like a heroine straight out of a comic book.
This is also the only person from another world that Xia Chen is familiar with.
Although Xia Chen didn't know why the heroine in the Hezhong region in the game appeared in the Donghuang region in this world.
…………
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Chen handed over Ibrahimovic in his arms.
"Buyi..."
Ibrahimovic's little paws were hooked on Xia Chen's clothes, looking like he couldn't bear to leave.
"Is this Eevee your initial elf? When did you start cultivating it?" Mingyi was a little confused about Xia Chen's sudden appearance of the initial elf.
Although it was during the summer vacation, the two of them could still see each other every three or two days, not just every day, so Ming Yi had this question.
Xia Chen shook his head and denied, "No, actually... I have known it for less than half an hour. I just picked it up on the roadside when I went to buy groceries."
"Buyi..."
Ibrahimovic, who was lying on the table, muttered softly, "What half an hour? We have known each other for ten years, okay!"
Ming Yi was stunned, but a new confusion arose, "It's only been half an hour, is it so dependent on you?"
Xia Chen helplessly spread his hands, "I don't know, maybe it's because I saved it."
This was the only explanation. Mingyi put away her thoughts and began to concentrate on treating Ibrahimovic.
As usual, Ming Yi opened Ibrahimovic's eyelids and saw the complicated look in her eyes as she looked at him.
Unhappiness, nostalgia, and a little bit...the joy of seeing friends you haven't seen for a long time?
The complicated intertwining eyes startled Mingyi, and she asked subconsciously: "Do we know each other?"
"Buy?"
Ibrahimovic's eyes were blank for a moment, and he tilted his head to look at Mingyi, as if he didn't understand why she asked.
"It may have been living in the ancient city. Is it possible to see it by chance?"
Xia Chen didn't see Ibrahimovic's eyes and guessed.
"Hmm... maybe I saw it wrong?"
The look in Ibrahimovic's eyes only lasted for a moment, and his acting skills after that were so good. Mingyi looked at the innocent-looking Ibrahimovic and could only tell herself this.
