"Jia, where is Cattleya?"
Zhulan put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then gently rubbed the corners of the table with her fingers, staring at the lines on the table, and asked softly.
He didn't even look at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu poured a large bowl of moo milk for each Pokémon and casually replied: "She's still sleeping...I'll just give her some later."
"Karu~" The little marsupial held the bowl with its two little paws, drank it all, and then licked the milk foam at the corner of its mouth. It couldn't help but feel that modern times are really great.
Not only is it convenient to take a bath, but it also has this delicious drink.
Xu Qiansu knelt down and poured her another full bowl.
"I, I'll send it off." Zhulan pulled the broken hair around her ears and said softly.
"Okay." Naturally, Xu Qiansu would not stop the two best friends from getting close, but he then said instead, "She is very tired now, and she will probably need you to feed her later."
Hearing this, Zhulan blinked her eyes and turned her head to look, "Tired? Why?"
Although she listened behind the door for a while... she had no experience in this area at all and seriously lacked relevant knowledge. She could only give Xu Qiansu and Cattleya a hug and a kiss...
Xu Qiansu looked into her clear eyes, then looked away, "She is already weak, so she should naturally rest more when she comes back."
An extremely reluctant explanation.
Zhulan glanced at him suspiciously, but just nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
Ever since she learned about the relationship between Xu Qiansu and Cattleya, she always felt inexplicably weird and awkward when facing Xu Qiansu.
She really admired Xu Qiansu, but she only regarded him as an ordinary friend... As a result, he became friends with her best friend.
This this……
Zhulan really didn't know how to treat him at this moment.
The two sat opposite each other and had breakfast.
Xu Qiansu took out a book from her arms, placed it on the table, and immediately pushed it in front of Zhulan.
"Wai Cui is on the left, Shenao is on the right. 》
"I did record a lot of cultural landscapes in the Xicui area, but it still takes some time to translate... Before that, you should study this book first." Xu Qiansu cut the omelette open with a knife and fork, put it in his mouth, and chewed it said.
After being reminded by Miss Mali, he has more or less guessed the origin of this book...but whether it is specific will be known when Miss Mali comes back.
"Hmm~" Zhulan frowned slightly, took the book and flipped through a few pages...Zhulan liked video games more than that, so when she was in Ma Li's room, she just briefly flipped through a few pages. Then he threw it away... Now that Xu Qiansu said it, could this book be truly 'official history'?
She felt a little ridiculous.
But Xu Qiansu obviously wouldn't tease her with this kind of thing... Then just put it away and study it, it just takes a little time.
In the field of archaeology, the most important thing you need is patience.
Putting the book aside for the time being, Zhulan picked up the small bowl and took a sip of the porridge. She pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before she couldn't help but ask, "You, what's your relationship with Cattleya?"
"That's what you guessed." Xu Qiansu replied calmly. There was no need to hide this from Zhulan.
Zhulan's snow-white face blushed a bit, and then she asked, "That is to say, will you get married in the future?"
Speaking of marriage, Zhulan's voice became a little lower.
Although she is not interested in love, as a woman, it is impossible not to be sensitive to this topic.
"Yes, but I haven't decided on the time yet." Xu Qiansu answered bluntly and expressed her inner thoughts, "But rather than getting married early, I hope to build a career first before discussing marriage."
"Career? Become the league champion?" Zhulan blinked.
Xu Qiansu frowned and thought for a while, "That's not necessarily true. The league championship is just a status and honor. I don't care whether I have this honor or not, so in the final analysis...it still refers to strength."
"Eh~" Zhulan made an interesting nasal sound, chuckled, and then said: "It's quite clear, but Cattleya's strength is enough to solve 99% of the situations in this world... Plus I, so you don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself.”
"It's not enough." Xu Qiansu shook his head gently. This was not because he was chauvinistic and could not tolerate being weaker than Cattleya.
It's just that Cattleya obviously had a last resort to erase his memory, probably to protect him.
That's why Xu Qiansu thought that she should at least wait until she could retrieve that memory and become her 'complete' self.
Zhulan always had an extraordinary bearing, and after a few words she no longer felt weird or awkward. She raised her face and suddenly asked: "You signed up for the Galar Champions Cup, right? You didn't go to the opening ceremony...are you going to go next?" Challenge the gym?”
Xu Qiansu put down her knife and fork, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head, "When Miss Ma Li comes back, the two of us will discuss it."
Hiss... After hearing this, Zhulan remembered that Ma Li was coming back soon...
This, this originally thought that the two of them were a match made in heaven, but they were cut off by their best friend halfway.
Zhulan felt a little guilty inexplicably. She picked up the small bowl and took a few more sips. Then she drank all the porridge in one breath. Then she coughed lightly, changed the subject, and picked up the food plate, "Cattleya must be hungry." .”
After saying that, she got up and left, stepped up the stairs, and walked into Cattleya's boudoir with a food tray.
Xu Qiansu ate breakfast silently without saying a word.
"What is marriage?" The little marsupial raised his face and listened for a while, then turned his head and looked at Gardevoir.
"Getting married is...well..." Gardevoir clicked his chin, and then said: "Lay eggs."
"Laying eggs? What does laying eggs mean?" The little marsupial asked again, "Can we also lay eggs with Susu?"
"Well..." Gardevoir was speechless, looking at the porridge in the bowl with a red face.
"What a pervert." Vulpix looked at Gardevoir with contempt again.
"Can we also lay eggs with Susu?" Seeing that Gardevoir didn't understand either, the little marsupial turned to look at Togekiss... Togekiss was older than them and should know a lot.
Pokkisi was pecking at the elf food in the bowl like a bird. After hearing this, she raised her little face with a bulging mouth, and her cute and cute big eyes were full of wisdom.
Yes, she doesn’t understand either.
"Marriage means being together forever." Finally, Vine Snake answered the little marsupial's question.
"Oh~" The little marsupial's black and translucent eyes blinked and he covered his face, "Marriage is awesome~ I also want to marry Susu."
Xu Qiansu finished breakfast, washed the dishes, and left the beach villa with her Pokémon.
The gentle sunlight falls, and the sea surface not far away is sparkling.
Xu Qiansu walked around the road for a while, then slowly picked up the pace and started jogging.
In the Xicui area, I was preoccupied with how to return to modern times, but I neglected to exercise... Now that I'm back, I can't leave behind.
The Pokémon followed him, running together... Togekis spread his wings and ran with his short legs, looking both cute and cute.
Although with her current strength and physical fitness, even if Xu Qiansu collapsed from exhaustion, she would not be able to take a few breaths, and there was absolutely no need to follow... But she was still as caring as her trainer.
…
Zhulan walked into Cattleya's room, the tip of her nose twitched slightly and her face tilted.
The window is wide open, the breeze is blowing, and the violets on the window edge are quietly leaning in the bottle.
Zhulan blinked her eyes, thinking about a seaside villa, a seaside villa, it should always smell like the sea.
But when I came in before, I could only smell Cattleya's body fragrance... Well, that's not important.
Zhulan shook her head gently, sweeping away the distracting thoughts in her mind.
She walked forward slowly and looked down. Cattleya was huddled in the quilt, breathing calmly and steadily... still sleeping.
It's just... why have the sheets and quilts been changed?
Zhulan put the food plate on the table and stared at the brand new sheets and quilts for a while, then shook her head and stopped thinking about such inexplicable things.
She sat sideways on the couch, but her beautiful eyes were condensed again.
Zhulan stretched out her slender jade fingers and lightly slid them over Cattleya's pretty face... so smooth and soft, how could her skin become so smooth and tender! ?
Although the changes are very subtle, Zhulan, as the league champion, has such keen observation skills and spends time with Cattleya day and night, she can naturally see the subtle changes in Cattleya.
How come you become more beautiful even after you fall asleep?
Zhulan frowned and thought for a while, assuming that Cattleya had been too tired in washing the greenery before, and now she returned to modern times to take a good rest, so there was such a change.
Cattleya frowned slightly, then opened her eyes and glanced at Zhulan, "Zhulan?"
"Huh?" Zhulan narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, "Why do you feel that the first person you saw was me, which makes you a little disappointed?"
Cattleya didn't reply. She held her hand and slowly sat up. The quilt in front of her slipped down, revealing her delicate collarbones and snow-white shoulders.
But wearing a nightgown does not mean that you are naked.
It's just... Cattleya's nightgown last night was clearly white, why is it black now?
Cattleya also looked down at her nightgown, tilted her face, and looked a little confused.
Zhulan felt that the situation was getting more and more confusing, but she still took the food plate first and said angrily: "Eat first."
"Oh." Cattleya picked up the small bowl and sipped the porridge in small sips.
Zhulan tilted her head and looked at her for a while, then asked: "Why don't you use super powers?"
Normally, Cattleya used her superpowers to eat, and rarely held the bowl with her hands like she did now.
"The loss is too great." Before Cattleya could reply, Zhulan nodded gently and gave the answer herself.
"Where is Xu Qiansu?" Cattleya sipped the porridge in small sips, then tilted her head and asked.
It's just that her tone was a little more weak and gentle than the usual lazy and elegant tone, as if just saying a word cost her a lot of energy.
Zhulanliu raised her eyebrows slightly, why was this the first thing she said when she woke up?
However, she still replied calmly: "After dinner... I should go for morning exercise now. It may take two or three hours to come back."
Cattleya nodded slightly, but she didn't say much. Instead, she was a little lost in thought. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Zhulan looked at Cattleya, tapped her chin with her jade finger, and then leaned closer and asked, "Xu Qiansu... um... you... how could you like him?"
It's not that Zhulan has any objections to Xu Qiansu. On the contrary, Xu Qiansu is handsome, talented, and has a personality that suits Zhulan very well. But...how can Cattleya fall in love?
The relationship between Zhulan and Cattleya is not an ordinary close friend. Since Zhulan believes that Cattleya can't fall in love, then she won't... But it happens that Cattleya and Xu Qiansu are getting along.
"Um?"
Cattleya looked at Zhulan, her eyebrows raised slightly. She didn't expect Zhulan to find out so quickly, but it was not something shameful.
This matter is complicated. Could it be that Cattleya told Zhulan that she was trying to save her at first, but ended up getting herself involved...
So she just shook her head slightly, "If you like it, you'll like it. Isn't love just this kind of thing that has no reason?"
"Ah? That's ridiculous." Zhulan poked Cattleya's flat belly and said in a faint tone.
She had never been in love before, so she could not empathize with Cattleya's answer just now, which made her feel a slight sense of loss that Cattleya had left behind.
But at this moment, Zhulan didn't care about her own feelings. She raised her face and asked, "What are you going to do in the future? Let him get married?"
"Of course." Cattleya narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly and said confidently: "His body must be full of my labels, so that when people see him, they can think of me... When I recover a little, I will deal with the family members. matter."
"Huh~~" Zhulan made an inexplicable nasal sound, with a bit of amusement in her eyebrows.
Cattleya's family is extremely large, comparable to the champion of Fengyuan, Dawu's Dewen Company.
Devon Company is amazing, ranging from military and aerospace, to beverages and food...Every industry you can imagine, Devon Company is involved in...It is the soul-like game "Elden Hunter" played by Zhulan : Breath of the World" were all developed by Dewen Company.
However, with Cattleya's temperament, she would not care much about family affairs before, but now... she has to get more dowry for herself, right?
Although in Cattleya's opinion, Xu Qiansu would get married sooner or later and change her surname to hers...
Xu Qiansu ran along the road for an unknown amount of time. Just when his whole body was getting hot and sweat was spreading on his forehead, he saw a girl with a guitar singing on the street on the edge of the road. A cricket with a speaker was following her. At her feet, there were legs playing like violins, accompanying her.
Xu Qiansu stopped and walked over slowly.
There was a scattered crowd surrounding the girl.
Xu Qiansu mixed in with the crowd and stopped to listen for a while...it was quite pleasant.
Xu Qiansu listened, and immediately met the eyes of the girl who looked up... The two of them did not know each other, and there was no drama of love at first sight. However, Xu Qiansu was surrounded by a large group of Pokémon, including a strange-colored one. Gardevoir, such a formation is too conspicuous.
After the song ended, Xu Qiansu stepped forward, placed a hundred-yuan bill in the guitar case, and turned around to leave.
Xu Qiansu had previously earned 100,000 yuan from Zhulan. As an Interpol officer, arresting the remnants of Team Galaxy, Shizhi added another 200,000 yuan to his account... so now he still has a small amount of money.
"please wait."
But after he walked a certain distance, he heard the girl's call from behind.
Xu Qiansu looked back and saw the girl running over panting with a guitar on her back and her speaker.
Xu Qiansu's eyebrows were frivolous and she stopped to wait for the girl.
Gardevoir tilted his head and scanned the girl's body with his mental power, confirming that she was just an ordinary person and had no ability to pose a threat to Xu Qiansu.
"Please, are you an alliance trainer?" The girl ran closer, held her knees with both hands, panted lightly for a while, then raised her eyes and asked.
Xu Qiansu nodded lightly. Although this identity has not played any role for him so far, he finally got it through Miss Ma Li's introduction.
"Can, can we talk?" The girl grabbed the corner of her clothes, raised her eyes to look at Xu Qiansu, then looked away, and asked in a low voice...
Xu Qiansu tilted his head to look at her. Was this girl a little too inferior?
But it’s just a chat, so that’s fine.
Xu Qiansu pointed to a bench on the street and immediately went over to sit down.
The girl quickly followed, held her skirt and sat down some distance away from Xu Qiansu, "Thank you for the money just now..."
"After all, you sing very nicely." Xu Qiansu replied casually.
"Thank you... um..." As she said that, the girl took out a small book from her arms and handed it to her with both hands, "Can you sign it for me?"
"Signature?" Xu Qiansu blinked, "I'm not a powerful or famous trainer."
"Ah, no..." The girl waved her hands in a panic and said softly: "I think you are already amazing...with so many Pokémon."
Xu Qiansu lowered his eyes and glanced at the speaker cricket next to the girl, then looked away and looked at the early morning street.
When it comes to this world, it is inseparable from Pokémon, trainers, gyms, Four Heavenly Kings, champions... even Xu Qiansu is surrounded by people of this status.
But that’s not the case. Many people have already tried their best just to raise a Pokémon.
They don't have the talent of a trainer, let alone professional training methods.
They just live an ordinary and hard-working life, trying their best to make their Pokémon live a better life.
The same goes for the flower shop owner, and the same goes for this girl... They are just ordinary people living in this world.
Vulpix raised his little face and looked at Xu Qiansu, then slightly bent his legs, jumped onto his lap and lay down.
Xu Qiansu gently stroked Liuwei's soft and warm fur and said:
"the same as you."
"Huh?" The girl tilted her face.
"Even you are amazing. There are obviously better ways to live, but you choose to sing on the street with your Pokémon, living so hard but independently."
"A better way?" The girl frowned slightly, not understanding what Xu Qiansu meant.
"You are very young..." Xu Qiansu tilted his head and looked at the girl, "You also have a cute and energetic face."
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Xu Qiansu meant, her face turned red, and she retorted louder: "How could I do that?"
Xu Qiansu smiled. The girl now no longer looked inferior.
call------
An airplane flew across the blue sky and broke out of the thick clouds, leaving two white lines in the sky like a paintbrush.
Xu Qiansu raised her eyes to look at the airplane clouds, then looked away, "No matter how hard life is, or if you only have one Pokémon...if you can live strong and independent, you won't lose to anyone."
Saying that, Xu Qiansu added, "This is what my good friend often says, and she even uses it as a criterion for conquering Pokémon."
Hearing this, the girl's pretty face turned red again, and she whispered: "Thank you."
Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly and did not write his name in the girl's notebook. Instead, he stood up and waved, "My friend is coming back soon. I have to get ready..."
Xu Qiansu smiled and said softly: "Otherwise she will get into trouble."
After that, he said no more and turned to leave.
The girl sat on the bench and stared at Xu Qiansu's back. Then she picked up the guitar and waved her fist at the speaker, "Today, I will make you eat 5,000 yuan of insect elf food!"
"Ugh!" Although the Speaker Cricket was also greedy, it wanted its trainer to buy the clothes it liked more than its own elf food... However, it still waved its hands in high spirits.
——————
I'm back at school. I'm dizzy after sitting on the high-speed train for nine hours.
Sorry, I have to put aside the extra work of the two leaders. There are four exams after returning to school.
I want to focus on my studies first.
After a week, I will make sure to update it as soon as possible!
