Xu Qiansu looked away and looked through the window at the bustling streetscape of Binhai City and the blue sea in the distance.
The voices of Ma Li and Cattleya echoed in my ears, one was clear and transparent, the other was lazy and elegant. Although they were arguing, their voices were nice. If there was a speaker cricket man here to accompany me at this moment, I would be able to debut and become a popular singer immediately. Degree.
"In that case, what's wrong with Xu Qiansu not wanting to hold your hand?" Ma Li took the lead in grasping the point of the quarrel and got straight to the point.
In fact, it was not that Xu Qiansu was unwilling to hold Cattleya's hand... it was just that in the situation just now, it was naturally impossible for him to follow Cattleya to the helicopter and leave Ma Li alone below... Ma Li knew this very well, But she still used this rhetoric...
Therefore, for trainers who play tactics, every one of them has a bad heart.
But it’s rare that Miss Mary is so aggressive...
Um? Wait, the reason why it is rare is because Xu Qiansu admits his mistakes promptly every time. But if Miss Ma Li has a child in the future and is treated so harshly, the child may not be as obedient as Xu Qiansu...
He/she will only find his/her mother nagging and annoying...but Miss Mary is the type who will never admit defeat and will definitely scold the child until he/she admits her mistake.
Oh, how pitiful.
Xu Qiansu had already imagined the child's miserable childhood.
Ma Li's cold gaze came to her.
Xu Qiansu looked at the scenery outside the window without squinting, not looking at Ma Li at all.
horrible! How terrible!
No wonder Cattleya has been troubled for a long time about Mali's mind reading!
"If you extend your hand and Xu Qiansu doesn't want to hold it, will you be angry?" Cattleya answered the question with a question.
Xu Qiansu rubbed the center of her brows, what the hell... Is Cattleya the type to care about such things? Rather, is she the type to quarrel with others?
"That kind of situation will never happen..." Ma Li looked away, with a faint smile on her lips, but she said calmly: "We have known each other for a long time, and there has never been such a situation."
Cattleya's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her lazy voice brought out a hint of memories, "Ma Li once said, 'There are people in the world who have known each other for decades but become strangers to each other, and there are also people who become close friends after just a few conversations'... …”
"At the same time, people who have a good relationship with each other will become strangers for some reason..." Cattleya then added: "The present does not mean the future."
The focus of the quarrel seems to have shifted subtly again...
Molubek stood on the chair, his cute little face looking directly at Mary and Cattleya, then he took out the white seeds from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.
"The future is just a hypothesis, there is no need to argue." Ma Li looked confident of winning, her expression was calm and indifferent, and her words and deeds were all casual and she had everything under control.
Cattleya didn't say anything more, but moved her gaze to Xu Qiansu and stretched out her white and tender little hands again.
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled.
Wang Zha.
She chose not to continue quarreling with Ma Li and returned directly to the essence of the quarrel.
Cattleya's personality goes her own way, so what's the point of quarreling? So what if he wins the quarrel with Ma Li? Pointless.
Xu Qiansu didn't hold her hand just now, and she was unhappy. As for why she was unhappy, the reason was unimportant.
But as long as Xu Qiansu is willing to hold it at this moment, it is enough.
Ma Li's expression changed slightly, then she glanced at Xu Qiansu.
Morubeke stood on the seat, his cute little face looking directly at Ma Li, Cattleya and Xu Qiansu. Then he took out the white seeds from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.
The two beautiful girls looked directly at Xu Qiansu.
Why did it evolve into this? Xu Qiansu was sure that he and Cattleya had nothing to do with each other, and that Cattleya had no strange feelings for him at all... But why did the situation turn into this?
It was naturally impossible for Xu Qiansu to touch Cattleya's little hand at this time.
He chewed on the words and said carefully: "I think what you just said is correct. I shouldn't touch Cattleya's hand casually, let alone Miss Mary's hand. I always use this kind of invisible pull. The attitude of keeping distance is undoubtedly wrong..."
"But I'm not happy." Cattleya frowned, completely ignoring what Xu Qiansu said, and moved her little hand forward.
Xu Qiansu looked at Ma Li and asked for her help.
But Ma Li looked on with cold eyes.
At this moment, Cattleya withdrew her little hand again. Just when Xu Qiansu thought she was completely angry, she saw her glance at Xu Qiansu with an inexplicable smile on her expression.
She wasn't angry at all, she was just teasing Xu Qiansu.
Danger! It's too dangerous!
These two beautiful girls are terrifying! A danger!
Cattleya looked at Ma Li and said as if to show off: "Because of you, he didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, so I won, Ma Li."
Ma Li sighed softly, "Being led by the nose like this...it seems like I lost this time."
The two women were talking about completely different things.
Cattleya was showing off that Xu Qiansu didn't refuse directly. If Ma Li wasn't here, Xu Qiansu might hold her hand.
And Ma Li saw that Cattleya did all this intentionally, whether she was angry or quarreling, it was Cattleya's intention... The purpose was probably the same as Zhulan's, for fun.
She failed to realize this, so she gave in.
Thinking about it, Ma Li looked at Xu Qiansu, with some thoughts on her face.
Why do I lose my previous judgment when it comes to him?
If it were normal Ma Li, she would have already figured out the whole story from the fact that Cattleya had no reason to be angry... How could she argue with her like this?
She pondered for a moment, then looked at Xu Qiansu and looked away, then turned to look out the window, looking at the street scene of Binhai City and the sparkling sea in the distance.
Morubeke stood on the seat, looking directly at Ma Li with his cute little face. Then he took out the white seeds from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.
…
The helicopter landed steadily outside the villa. When everyone returned to the villa, Zhulan called.
"Zhenxing was arrested, but Suixing and Huxing were not seen..." Zhulan's mature and charming voice was filled with some thoughts, and then she chuckled, "Anyway, thank you very much, one hundred thousand yuan will come later. Then add it to your account."
Xu Qiansu rolled his eyes. If it weren't for Lucario, Xu Qiansu would probably have had a fierce battle with Zhenxing... Moreover, he also mastered the power of the wave guide from Lucario... After all, he owed Zhulan another favor. .
He opened the refrigerator, took out a cucumber, washed it, took a bite, chewed it and said, "Because of your Lucario, I awakened the power of the waveguide. I am the one who should be grateful."
"Bogui?" Zhulan was slightly startled, then pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since you have this talent, you will awaken with or without my Lucario, but sooner or later."
From Zhulan's perspective, although the power of the waveguide was worthy of making her look sideways, it was just a sideways glance.
"Having said that..." Xu Qiansu sighed softly, "This trip to the ruins is like playing house, it all depends on your Lucario. It seems that I owe you more and more things... If you have any other commissions on hand, it doesn’t hurt to tell me.”
The other end of the phone fell silent, but there was an inexplicable feeling of embarrassment.
Zhulan may not have a commission on her hands, but she may have one on her little feet...
"I'm going to play an exhibition match. I'll hang up now and talk later." After saying that, Zhulan hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Qiansu to respond.
Xu Qiansu put away her mobile phone and came to the living room with a cucumber in her mouth.
Miss Mary and Cattleya were sitting on the sofa, watching TV, and seemed to be at peace with each other.
Without Xu Qiansu's absence, the two women would naturally not be as tit-for-tat as before.
The screen showed a huge Pokémon battle battlefield, and the host was explaining something intensely...
The battle between Zhulan and the Four Heavenly Kings Wusong.
Wu Song, the king of super powers, loves reading, has a somewhat scholarly demeanor, and his strength goes without saying, but it seems that every time this happens, he is always the first to fight Zhulan.
Xu Qiansu sat next to Ma Li.
Then Ma Li took the cucumber he had washed, broke it open, and handed him the end that Xu Qiansu had bitten...she bit the lower one lightly.
"I want to eat too~" Cattleya floated over and said.
"If I don't wash this cucumber, aren't you going to eat it?" Xu Qiansu stood up helplessly, bit the cucumber and came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and picked up some fruits.
"There is a little less food... Let's go out and buy some later." Xu Qiansu closed the refrigerator, washed the fruits, and whispered to herself.
She has been living in Cattleya's house, eating and drinking other people's food, almost emptying her refrigerator. Although Cattleya is a rich woman and doesn't care, it is obviously impossible for Cattleya to pay for it.
When Xu Qiansu came to the living room with a fruit plate, the exhibition game had already begun, and the two women were looking at the screen attentively.
Ma Li wanted to learn fighting skills from this game.
Cattleya simply wanted to see Zhulan.
Xu Qiansu put down the fruit plate, sat next to Ma Li, picked up Kirulian, picked up the fruit knife, and peeled the fruit for the Pokémon while staring at the screen.
Although the exhibition match is an exhibition match, with Zhulan's temperament, it is obvious that she will not just perform. In addition, Wusong has always regarded Zhulan as a strong enemy, so he might not have used this exhibition match to test Zhulan's strength, so he was merciless in his attack. Therefore, this exhibition match can be regarded as half a formal match.
On the screen, the fierce biting land shark was majestic. Every one of Wu Song's moves was counted as one. He didn't hide at all and directly killed Wu Song's Sun Eevee and Magic Wall Doll.
If the gap in hard power is too large, tactics will lose their meaning.
Xu Qiansu finished peeling the fruit and handed it to the little marsupial who was looking at him eagerly. Then Cattleya reached out to take the fruit.
"Kalu?" The little marsupial tilted its head, and then looked at Xu Qiansu eagerly.
Xu Qiansu peeled the second fruit, and then Miss Ma Li reached out to take it.
"Kaluka?" The little marsupial tilted its head again, then picked up a tree fruit, showed its little paws, rubbed it and peeled it clean in just a few seconds, and then handed the bare tree fruit to Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu looked at her fruit knife and then threw it down.
What a fruit knife? It's useless.
After watching it for a while, Xu Qiansu felt that the exhibition match was not interesting, so she stood up and said, "I'm going out to buy some things."
"I'll go with you." Ma Li looked at the screen intently, then looked away and stood up.
Xu Qiansu's luck...it's hard to say. Although the probability of being assassinated when going out to buy groceries is small, it's not impossible.
"I'm just buying something." Xu Qiansu laughed dumbly, pinched the back of Pickpocket Cat's neck, and said, "Just go with me, Pickpocket Cat."
"Cha?" The pickpocket cat was held up by Xu Qiansu and looked at him. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at Xu Qiansu and turned his face away, as if he looked down on him.
Hearing this, Ma Li looked Xu Qiansu up and down, and suddenly realized that Xu Qiansu was actually protecting her most of the time when she went out on adventures.
She wrapped her fingers around the black hair hanging down in front of her shoulders: "Then you come back early."
"clear."
The pickpocket cats all followed, and it was naturally impossible for Xu Qiansu's Pokémon not to follow.
After Xu Qiansu left, Ma Li looked back.
Cattleya glanced at Ma Li doubtfully, then floated over and asked, "You seem to be bored?"
Malida raised her eyebrows slightly. Cattleya didn't often talk to her, so she asked, "Why do you think so?"
Cattleya replied softly: "I am the same when Zhulan is not around~"
"also?"
"Yes." Cattleya nodded lightly.
"You misunderstood." Ma Li denied: "The two of us are indeed good friends, but we haven't reached the point where we feel life is boring if we leave each other."
"Hmph~" Cattleya made an unexplained nasal sound, then floated back to her original position, picked up a tree fruit, opened and closed her lips that were far more attractive than the tree fruit, and bit off the flesh, "Hypothesis that is divorced from practice. It’s meaningless, you’ll understand after he leaves you for a while.”
Ma Li was not interested in this topic. She stopped talking, looked away, and continued to watch Zhulan's game.
…
"A thousand-year-old shop, Qishi House?" On a street corner in Binhai City, Xu Qiansu looked at the extremely classically decorated hut and tilted her head slightly.
Of course, what concerned him was not the name of the thousand-year-old store...the thousand-year-old store. Doesn't that mean that this store existed during the Xicui period? Too fake.
What concerned him was the portrait of Vulpix on the sign.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Vulpix and said with a smile: "It seems that this shop owner also has a Vulpix."
"Woo~" Liuwei followed Xu Qiansu's feet. Hearing this, he raised his little face and let out a soft cry.
Xu Qiansu opened the curtain and walked into the store. Vulpix followed Xu Qiansu closely on an elegant cat walk.
There were not many customers in the store. The overall decoration style of the store was as classic as the store front, and it really had the feel of a 'thousand-year-old store'.
There are all kinds of steamed buns on the shelves...and only steamed buns.
The shop owner is an old lady in her sixties. She is sitting behind the shelves, holding a newspaper. She is quiet and full of the flavor of the times... She seems to be out of tune with modern society.
"Grandma... how do you sell steamed buns?" Xu Qiansu looked at the steamed buns on the shelf, thinking that the name of the store and the steamed buns... are somewhat related to "Natsume's Book of Friends".
The shop owner looked up after hearing this, and was the first to see Vulpix following Xu Qiansu's legs.
Her eyes brightened, she put down the newspaper, picked up a few steamed buns from the back of the shelf, placed them gently in front of Vulpix, and said slowly in a low but kind voice: "Eat whatever you want, eat whatever you want...it doesn't matter."
"Huh?" Vulpix tilted his little head and looked at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu gently patted Vulpix's little head, "Eat it."
"Does grandma also have a Vulpix?" Xu Qiansu looked around a few times, but didn't see Vulpix, so she tilted her head and asked.
The store manager shook his head slightly, raised the corner of his mouth, and gave a wry smile, saying: "It's not Vulpix, it's Kyuubi... But she is very old, and even I probably have to breathe more than her... So now Sleeping behind the house”
"Old?" Xu Qiansu was slightly startled. Although he had heard about the lifespan of Pokémon for a long time, this was the first time he heard about it head-on.
And...even among Pokémon, they belong to the extremely long-lived Nine-Tails clan.
He asked softly, "Can I see her?"
"She is always sleeping..." the store manager whispered, then glanced at Vulpix, hesitated for a moment, and nodded gently, leading Xu Qiansu to the back of the cupboard, opened the curtain, stepped into the corridor, and came to a room.
The room was lit with incense, and within the light smoke, a fox much longer than the six-tailed fox was seen lying on the tatami. Its golden hair had faded, and its nine beautiful and fluffy tails hung weakly on the ground.
"Huh?" Vulpix tilted his little head and looked at his evolved form.
Xu Qiansu didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing her, but she saw Jiuwei's nose twitching slightly, opened her eyes, slowly raised her head, and looked at Xu Qiansu.
"Woo~" Her eyes lit up slightly and she called out softly.
The store manager was startled for a moment, then whispered in disbelief: "Are you awake?"
She pushed herself up, but couldn't stand up... She was already too weak.
Xu Qiansu picked up her six-tails, walked slowly in, sat on the tatami, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the nine-tails' dim but still extremely soft fur.
Xu Qiansu approached, not out of curiosity, he just felt that the power of the Phoenix King was contained in the six-tailed body, and being so close might be able to arouse a little bit of the nine-tailed vitality.
"Woo~" Jiuwei gently rubbed Xu Qiansu's hand, but she seemed to like him very much.
Xu Qiansu didn't say anything. She stroked Jiuwei gently for a while, then held her breath and concentrated on mobilizing the power of the wave guide she had just mastered to explore Jiuwei's body...
Kyuubi's body has dried up, and there is no way to save him. He should have died a long time ago. He is still alive now. It is either a miracle... or because of some obsession. However, it seems that because of the power of the Phoenix King in Liubi, there is not much left in the body. The vitality is slightly more active.
It's not much, but it's... better than nothing.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and asked, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I'll help you fulfill them."
Jiuwei shook his head slightly, then moved his head closer and gently licked the side of Xu Qiansu's face.
Just this movement seemed to consume all her energy. She lay on the ground, closed her eyes, and fell asleep tiredly after a while.
Xu Qiansu stroked Jiuwei's fur for a while, then stood up. He looked at the store manager standing outside the door, smiled, and said, "Manager, buy some steamed buns."
"……Um."
——
I’ll catch the high-speed train home tomorrow. It’s a long journey and I’ll basically have to sit there all day. I’ll write more tonight and hope to post tomorrow’s copy.
In addition, regarding the recent updates of this book, I always write two-in-one... mainly because I want to make the average order data look better, and I can spend less time thinking about the title.
After I get home, I'll see if I can update 6,000 words twice a day.
Thank you all book friends for your support.
Oh, by the way, almost every book friend said that I had changed my writing style. In the first volume, they thought I wrote about the heroine instead of Pokémon, so I abandoned the book in favor of the last.
In the second volume, I felt that I wrote about winter camping instead of Pokémon. It was no longer interesting, so I abandoned the book.
In the third volume, I thought I had too many knives, so I wrote about Zhulan and Cattleya instead of Pokémon, so I abandoned the book.
That's understandable, but actually from beginning to end, my writing style and what I wanted to write remained the same. I just needed some foreshadowing. I wanted to make the transition of the plot more delicate and gentle.
above.
