After buying some steamed buns, Xu Qiansu left the store called "Qishiwu" and walked through the streets and alleys to the commercial street.
While he was picking fruits, Shiori called again.
"I heard that you made a great contribution this time and captured Zhenxing directly?" Shizhi was obviously in a good mood, with a brisk smile in her words.
"Thank you, Chief Shizhi, for your good leadership." Xu Qiansu looked at the Apple Fruit in his hand, then gestured to the Snow Demon Girl floating behind him, asking for her opinion, and answered casually.
"Flattery." Shizhi said angrily, and then laughed again, "But I am very useful."
"After being employed, can you strive for more for your direct subordinates when seeking remuneration?"
"Hello? Can't you, a man, try to please me more? I'm ugly?" Shiori sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, you are either frigid or have a bad personality, so you shouldn't expect that. You say something nice.”
Xu Qiansu did not answer, and said: "Zhenxing may have colluded with an official from the Sinnoh Alliance."
"Want to ask me to help you interrogate this person?" Shiori asked again with a smile.
"Can Interpol tolerate such people in the Sinnoh League who collude with Team Galaxy?" Xu Qiansu asked rhetorically.
"Strictly speaking, this is not within the jurisdiction of Interpol, but it can barely touch it. Besides, politics always depends on evidence and factions... Therefore, Interpol can help you find this person, and the rest is up to you. It's up to you." Shizhi smiled and said, "But I will pay attention... Also, I checked the information these days and your Snow Demon Girl's trainer is not in the Interpol prison, but..."
Shizhi changed her tone and added, "I'll just come to the conclusion. Half a year ago, she was still in the Galar region."
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled, "Do you have any detailed information?"
"As of June last year, she had appeared incognito in various towns in Galar... looking for her Snow Witch, but after June, she disappeared... Maybe she encountered an accident, or maybe she went to other places. area, or she may have returned to Team Rocket... But what is certain is that at least she was not arrested by the Alliance and Interpol."
The Snow Demon Girl didn't hear Shiori's voice on the phone. She held the apple and smelled it, then handed it to Xu Qiansu and nodded lightly.
"Boss, wrap this, this, and this," Xu Qiansu pointed to the fruit trees on the stall, and then said, "You put a lot of effort into it? Thank you very much."
"I will not hesitate to express your verbal gratitude. I will devote my whole life to repaying your kindness."
"You could be more polite."
"Exactly." Shizhi chuckled, then became serious and said: "The news about the fireball slate has been spread. You have been keeping a low profile recently, so don't let anyone take you away."
"At that time, I hope Ms. Shiori can use Johto's connections and the power of Interpol to rescue me."
Xu Qiansu took the bag of tree fruits and led the Pokémon to a vegetable store to pick and choose.
"Contacts in Johto?" Shiori was a little surprised, then smiled and said: "Knowing that I have connections in Johto, why are you participating in the Galar Champions Cup... Come to Johto, and I will find a place for you. The good job of Yuanzhu Shrine will make you eat and wait for death for the rest of your life."
It is no small feat to name a shrine after Enju City, the most prosperous city in the Johto area.
"If I really live my life waiting to die, Miss Ma Li will chase me and teach me a lesson every day." Xu Qiansu smiled and replied.
"Mali Mali, ask your Miss Mali to help you find the Snow Demon Girl's trainer." Shiori sneered, but she asked in a low voice: "Mali is prettier than me?"
"Haven't you seen it before?" Xu Qiansu paid and walked out of the store carrying a large bag of vegetables. Looking around, she replied: "Her cuteness does not only refer to her appearance, but the most important thing is her temperament that likes to make trouble... "
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm hanging up. I'll stress it again, you should be more careful recently and don't fall for any dirty tricks. When the time comes, your Miss Ma Li will cry."
"Thank you for reminding."
"No more, goodbye."
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qiansu bought some more ingredients, took out an apple from the bag, wiped it with her sleeve, and handed it to the Snow Demon Girl.
"Na Nong~" The Snow Demon Girl took it, took a small bite, and narrowed her eyes in contentment.
Xu Qiansu nodded her forehead affectionately before walking towards the villa.
On both sides of the straight road, there are patches of apricot trees.
The midday sun shines warmly on people, the mottled shades of trees float on the ground, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians all around.
The Sinnoh region, which has been at peace for several years, is different from Galar, which has just suffered a disaster. The street atmosphere is peaceful and lively.
On the way back, someone called again.
Xu Qiansu thought to herself, since when did she become a busy person?
…
In the Alola region, the climate is warm and pleasant, and there is already a hint of summer in February alone.
The sky is blue, the clouds and mist seem to be drawn up with a brush, and large swaths of sunlight shine down in large swaths.
In a room in a villa, the windows were wide open, and warm sunlight flowed into the room along with the comfortable sea breeze. The white curtains fluttered in the wind. In the yard outside the villa, the lively sounds of Pokémon playing could be heard faintly.
Lillie was lying on her bed in a pure white dress, burying her little face into the pillow. Her pale golden waist-length hair hung down by her sides. However, she was holding her cell phone tightly in her two little hands. When she looked at the screen, it was Line's. Chat interface.
But there's not much in there, that's about it.
Half past seven in the morning.
"Good morning, Mr. Qiansu!"
"Good morning, Lillie, have you had breakfast?"
"Um!"
Gone.
and then until 9:30 p.m.
"Good night, Mr. Qiansu!"
"Good night... are you going to sleep now? Are you still used to getting along with the dream monster?"
"Well! Dream Demon is very cute and healthy. I take good care of her!"
"Thank you for your hard work. Did she cause you any trouble?"
"Nothing."
Gone.
This set of chat templates has been basically applicable to every day's chat content since Lillie left Galar.
"Well..." Lillie buried her face in the soft pillow and made a dull sound of distress from her mouth.
After lying down for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly raised her face, rested her chin on the pillow, and looked at the screen of her phone with her big, clear eyes. Her slender fingers kept sliding around on the screen. There was no point in getting together. The chat content she noticed was scrolled through for ten minutes.
Then she retracted her cute little face into the pillow, and her little feet in white socks kicked the bed with some boredom. Her skirt fluttered, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. But unfortunately, there were only four Pokémon in the room. Vulpix, Dendenmushi, Dream Demon, and the water jumping fish you get after winning the winter camping.
But none of the four Pokémon looked at Lillie...
After all, they have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Vulpix lay on the ground, licking the hair on his front paws gracefully, glanced at Lillie, and sighed helplessly, "Why don't you dare to call..."
But no one answered.
Dendenmushi is sleeping hanging upside down from the ceiling.
Shui Yueyu sat on the floor in a daze with his cute eyes open.
Only Dream Demon heard this and floated behind Lillie, looking at her phone...
She also wanted to chat with Xu Qiansu~ But unfortunately, Lillie was even more cautious about sending messages, not to mention making phone calls, for fear of making Xu Qiansu impatient.
After a while, Lillie raised her little face again, looked at her phone, and clicked on the iSu forum, hoping to get something helpful to her.
Then she browsed for half an hour and came to the conclusion that all the Joy girls in iSu were very proactive on the Internet, but few of them really had the courage to contact Xu Qiansu...
No one is reliable.
She buried her little face into the pillow again.
Dream Demon also sighed softly, and the red beads on her neck dimmed a little. Then she tilted her head, floated in front of Lillie's phone, tapped the screen with her mouth, and dialed Xu Qiansu's number directly.
Du~du~du~
"Huh?" Lillie heard the sound, raised her little face in confusion, let out a light sigh, and then looked at the screen...
Boom!
She jumped up from the bed suddenly and made a muffled sound when she stepped on the floor. However, her feet twisted and she was about to fall. The dream demon wrapped her with telekinesis to slow down the force.
Lillie ignored her sore little feet, held the phone in her hands, pulled out the chair, put the phone flat on the table, straightened her back, and stretched out her hand to straighten her bangs while sitting upright... Even though it was a voice call, Xu Qiansu was watching There is no trace of her.
Um? Vulpix tilted his head, then stepped over... walked a few steps, then came back, opened his mouth and grabbed the tail of the dazed water-leap fish, and dragged it towards Lillie.
The Denden insect also opened his eyes, pulled out the thread, hung it next to Lillie, and then landed firmly on her shoulder.
In Binhai City, Xu Qiansu looked at her mobile phone and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Lillie? This little girl has never called Xu Qiansu. She usually just says good night in the morning and evening.
He connected it and asked: "Lilia? Have you encountered any trouble recently?"
"Eh? Huh?" On the other end of the phone, Lillie let out a soft sound of surprise, and then asked weakly: "No, no? Why would Mr. Qiansu think so?"
"Because you don't call often, I thought you needed help." Xu Qiansu smiled.
Pokémon such as Kirulian, Wallabies, and Vulpix followed at his feet, Vine Snake was sleeping in his collar, and Pickpocket Cat stood on his shoulders with its little face raised high, as if Xu Qiansu's mistress, the Snow Demon Girl, bit her apple and silently floated next to Xu Qiansu.
There were several Pokémon, three of which were of different colors, but the girls and pedestrians who came and went did not look at the Pokémon, but at Xu Qiansu.
Lillie was sitting upright, with her hands clenched tightly and pressed on her thighs, her waist straight. After hearing this, her white face turned red. She looked at the mobile phone on the table and the communication interface in the center of the screen. Weakly said: "I, I'm afraid of disturbing you..."
"Excuse me?" Xu Qiansu's calm and gentle voice came from the mobile phone. He said: "It is not a shameful thing to ask others for help. Just like me, I owe many people so far and I still can't pay them back. clear."
"Ah? Is this... okay?" Lillie tilted her little head and asked doubtfully.
It's not a good idea to not repay someone's favor... Moreover, what Lillie said just now, 'I'm afraid of disturbing Xu Qiansu', doesn't mean asking for help, but not contacting me often...
"This is the fate between people. Just like Lillie, you donated 10 million yuan in my name... This money can buy me, but what use do you want me for?"
Lillie's little face turned completely red, and she stopped looking at the screen of her phone. She stared straight at her tightly clenched fists, and her knuckles turned white.
"So I will never forget this favor. If Lillie needs anything in the future, just ask... This is the 'fate' between me and you." Xu Qiansu's voice came from the phone smoothly, "So there is no need If you're worried about bothering me, it's better to say that you can bother me as much as you want, or even push me as much as you want."
"Galer has been hit by a disaster. It doesn't matter if you donate some money... I don't need you to pay it back, and I won't force you to do anything~" Lillie pulled back the hair hanging down by her ears, and then added:
"Besides, I push too hard... you won't be able to bear it, right?"
If Lillie hadn't been afraid of disturbing Xu Qiansu, she would have called several times a day... In fact, if it hadn't been that she hadn't talked to Xu Qiansu for a long time and missed her so much, she would have discovered that Meng Yao had dialed Xu Qiansu's number. He hung up the phone immediately and then sent a message saying, 'I accidentally pressed the wrong button'.
This is the so-called caution of a girl.
"I studied under Master Caidou and never slacked off in exercising, so I am very energetic...so you don't have to worry about me pushing too hard or I won't be able to bear it."
Xu Qiansu confidently believed that this was the truth. After all, that 10 million was a huge amount. If Lillie needed any help, he would naturally not refuse her, not to mention that the two of them were also friends.
It was obvious that Xu Qiansu didn't say any nice words of love, but Lillie's small and cute ears turned red inexplicably, and her heart skipped a beat, until she felt that the blood all over her body was rushing to her heart, and a burst of light joy lingered in her heart.
She pursed her lips and smiled, pinched her somewhat stiff wrist, relaxed it a little, supported the side of her face with her hands, swayed her little feet in white socks, looked at the phone with her big blue eyes like lakes, and said: " Me, I tamed a water leaping fish~"
In fact, Lillie sent a message to Xu Qiansu on the day she conquered Shui Yueyu. The details are as follows.
Lillie: [Mr. Qiansu, I conquered the water jumping fish. (Front photo of Shui Yueyu in a daze)]
Xu Qiansu: [It looks a bit like the Duck God... But it doesn't matter. The potential of the water leaping fish is not bad, and it has a MEGA form. When I go to the Kalos area in the future, I will pay attention to its MEGA evolution stone. 】
Lillie: [Thank you! 】
Xu Qiansu: [Little things. 】
Gone.
…
Lillie stretched out her hand to hug Shui Yueyu, who was still in a daze, and then realized that this was a voice call, which Xu Qiansu couldn't see... She picked up the phone and looked at the 'video call' button without daring to press it. In the end, I just straightened my bangs, turned on the camera function of my phone, and took a selfie...
She arranged her bangs, but she didn't dare to take a picture of her front face for Xu Qiansu to see, so only Shui Yuyu and Lillie's white dress were in the picture.
Before Xu Qiansu could speak, Lillie spoke first as if she was worried that Xu Qiansu would say something that would make her embarrassed:
"When I went to the research institute to select, all the water jumping fish looked at me curiously, but it was the only one sitting by the pond, pointing its tail at me~ At that time, I thought it didn't like me, and I was sad for a while... After the results Only then did I realize that this child’s reaction was just a few beats slower than others.”
"Huh?" The water leaping fish blinked at this moment. It looked at Six-Tails, stretched out its hand to touch its own tail, and asked, "Why are you biting my tail?"
Vulpix rolled his eyes at it, not bothering to explain.
"Huh?" Shui Yueyu blinked again, tilted his head, and then became dazed again.
"I know a Kodak duck that looks similar to it, but that duck is very talented mentally, likes to eat ice cream, and is a perverted duck." Xu Qiansu said with a smile.
"Sexy duck..." Lillie covered her mouth and chuckled, then touched the tail of the swamp jumping fish and said: "But this child is a girl, very cute~"
"And more, the dream demon has made a friend recently, and it's a..." Before he finished speaking, the dream demon, who had been impatient for a long time, floated down and looked at the phone from almost zero distance, blocking Lillie's sight. " MUMU~MU~”
Xu Qiansu said nothing, but the two little dream monsters that always stayed in his shadow flew out and circled around the phone, communicating with the little dream monster.
"You can't get so close, it's not good for your eyes." Lillie held the dream monster in both hands and pulled her further away.
Vulpix rolled his eyes again. He didn't know who stayed up every night, turned off the lights, and scrolled back and forth through Line, which had few messages to read.
"Chaba~" At this moment, Shui Yueyu stretched out her hand inexplicably and waved at the phone... She was greeting Xu Qiansu.
Shui Yueyu had already heard about Xu Qiansu... but his reaction was too slow.
After holding the dream demon away from the phone, Lillie swayed her fair and slender legs and said to the phone: "This morning, Serena and I went to the mall to buy clothes. But we didn't buy the clothes. Instead, we went to sit in a coffee shop. In the morning, I discovered that the label of the Galar region was printed on the bottom of the cup...
"...I heard that the mining industry in Suchuan Town is very developed. I wonder if the raw materials come from Suchuan Town?"
"Also, Serena's Fairy Eevee fought against Ash's Pikachu yesterday~ Well... Fairy Eevee's ribbon is so beautiful, and her fighting posture is also very elegant, and then... during the battle, Fairy Eevee Bu charmed Pikachu with his charm~This is the first time I saw Pikachu like that~"
"Also, the day before yesterday, the night before yesterday, I had a nightmare and almost rolled off the bed. At that time, I thought that if Qian... Well, at that time, I thought that it would be okay if Mr. Qian Su asked the little dream demon to follow me, and she used her telekinesis Protected me..."
Meng Yao also rolled his eyes when he heard this. Thank you very much, but you kept holding me and didn't let me talk to Su Su. You just occupied the phone~
snort!
Lillie said many things to Xu Qiansu in one breath, as if she wanted to say all the things she had wanted to say for a month but had always been holding back in her heart.
The babble, the babble, are all trivial and unimportant things. They are mentioned wherever they come to mind. The word order is a bit confusing, but the tone is very brisk.
After talking for nearly ten minutes, she finally realized what was happening. Her pretty face turned red suddenly, and she tightly covered her seductive lips, not daring to say another word.
I have been talking alone for so long without giving Mr. Qiansu a chance to speak. Will he feel that I disrespect him... Well, and if I talk so much, will it annoy him?
What you find interesting may not be interesting to him! But Mr. Qiansu is a gentle person. He must have suppressed the boredom in his heart and maintained politeness to listen silently.
Thinking about it, Lillie's cheerful mood suddenly fell to the bottom. There was a glimmer of water in her cute big eyes, and she almost cried.
"Hiss?" Denden Insect, who had been lying on Lillie's shoulder, was confused. He was quite happy just now, so why is he crying now?
It doesn't understand.
"Oh... gone? A lot of interesting things have happened here recently." But I heard Xu Qiansu's smiling voice coming from the phone, "In less than a month, I went to the card The Los region, and now we are in the Sinnoh region."
"Carlos' Miare City is amazing. The prism tower is so high. I heard that Xiaozhi jumped from the top of the tower to save Pikachu... But for some reason, I didn't get close. Approaching the Prism Tower, didn't you say you wanted to see the Prism Tower? Next time we can go together..."
"...But although I have never been to Prism Tower, I have ridden Armored Rhino. Yes, Armored Rhino, that ferocious Pokémon, but it is actually very gentle..."
Xu Qiansu's voice was calm and full of memories, but as Lillie listened, she felt an inexplicable sadness and grievance in her heart... She didn't understand, nor did she understand.
So she said, "Can I still call you from now on? Because Meng Yao misses you so much..."
ah? Dream Demon raised his eyes and looked at Lillie.
She was held in Lillie's arms, unable to break free.
You know that I miss him, but you still don't let me talk to him more... Dream Demon's little face bulged.
"Huh? Is this okay? If you want to call, then call."
Lillie twitched her nose, but she realized that the call lasted for forty minutes.
There was an inexplicable feeling of shame in her heart.
She whispered: "I, my phone is about to run out of battery~hang up first."
"Well, hang up. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Lillie stared at the phone but did not hang up. She did not pick up the phone until Xu Qiansu hung up about five seconds after saying goodbye.
The sea breeze blew from the window, and the white curtains covered Lillie's figure.
The girl's thoughts are complex, changeable and obscure.
Lillie has taken a very important first step for her, which is worthy of joy, but she has new worries...
What topics should she talk to Xu Qiansu to make Xu Qiansu like her more?
…
In Binhai City, Xu Qiansu hung up Lillie's cell phone, thinking that Lillie was a little girl. Her father and brother were missing, and her mother was busy with work and had no interest in her... There was less depiction of this aspect in the original work, but she was actually still very afraid of loneliness. ’s... talk to her more when you have time.
Before he had taken a few steps, his phone rang again.
Xu Qiansu sighed lightly, she had really become a celebrity.
When she took out her phone and looked at it, Xu Qiansu was slightly startled.
"Hey, Miss Ma Li, do you need me to bring something..."
"It still takes so long to buy groceries? Come back soon."
"okay."
