The fresh air after the rain blew into the room through the half-open window, passing over the violets placed on the window edge, bringing a bit of elegant floral fragrance to the room.
The warm sunlight is like tangled tree roots showing traces of fine dust in the air.
Cattleya frowned slightly, then opened her eyes.
"Good afternoon, Miss Cattleya."
Cattleya turned her head and saw Xu Qiansu sitting by the bed, looking down at her.
"...What time is it?" Cattleya lazily pulled the quilt and asked with her head tilted.
"Three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Yeah." Cattleya hummed lightly, and then closed her eyes again.
Xu Qiansu said nothing.
After a moment, Cattleya turned over and faced Xu Qiansu. The bangs on her forehead hung down by gravity, slightly blocking one of her blue eyes.
"Where's Zhulan?"
"After lunch, I took Soraya back to the room... Are you hungry?" Xu Qiansu supported the soft bag with one hand, pressed out some wrinkles, and answered calmly.
"Not hungry."
Although Cattleya answered 'not hungry', Xu Qiansu took the dinner plate from the cabinet next to her and picked up the spoon.
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Cattleya yawned lazily, sat up, and the quilt in front of her slipped down... Cattleya would not be able to dress herself in her sleep, so Xu Qiansu said unabashedly Look down.
Then everything went dark, accompanied by the soft touch of silk fabric.
Xu Qiansu took it away from her face...it was Cattleya's white socks.
It is said that the sweat glands on women's feet are much more developed than men's, so they are naturally more likely to have odor. However, maybe it is because Cattleya loves to be clean, or she is born with it, so not only does she not have odor, but she also has a faint fragrance.
When Xu Qiansu took the socks and regained her sight, she saw that Cattleya had simply put on a black nightgown, got up and went to the bathroom.
As she moved around, her hair behind her head swayed slightly with her perky buttocks.
Xu Qiansu has always been a person who is easily influenced by his own Pokémon, so if he hadn't been concerned about Cattleya's frail body, he would definitely have stepped forward to fight Cattleya at a negative distance... After all, it's better than being a super. Queen, his Gardevoir prefers to be a fighting girl who can punch hard.
When Cattleya walked out of the bathroom, her blond hair had been tied into braids, falling on her shoulders and hanging in front of her body.
She clasped her hands behind her back and sat slowly on the couch.
Xu Qiansu handed over the dinner plate.
"Why curry again?" Cattleya scooped up a spoonful and put it into her soft and moist lips.
"Because this is Galar's most famous specialty food. There are more than a hundred ways to make it, and the flavor is different every time."
"Hmm~ So Ma Li made it." Cattleya chewed gently, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and said calmly.
"I washed the rice and cooked the soup." Xu Qiansu replied.
"Cooking together?"
"Endless exploitation of a certain person is a shameful practice of the bourgeoisie. I come from a humble background, so naturally I am at odds with the bourgeoisie." Xu Qiansu said with a smile.
Cattleya narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, chewed lightly in her mouth, and said with a sneer: "What about me?"
"You are a nobleman, far beyond what the bourgeoisie can match."
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is that I like the nobility and hate the bourgeoisie."
Cattleya glanced sideways at Xu Qiansu, and then seemed to let him go, chewing the curry slowly.
"I thought you would just spit it out after you found out it was Miss Marley's doing."
"In our house, the only one who cooks for me is the maid." Cattleya said casually without changing her expression.
So what Cattleya said was that she regarded Ma Li as her maid...
Xu Qiansu shook his head and chuckled, but said no more.
Cattleya didn't say anything. After eating almost half of the plate, she put it into Xu Qiansu's hand and said, "I won't eat it."
Xu Qiansu picked up the plate, ate the curry that Cattleya hadn't finished, chewed it for a while, swallowed it, and then tilted her head and asked, "Have you been free recently?"
"Want me to accompany you to Galar?" Cattleya asked casually, holding her braid with her fingers.
"I can't bear to leave you after all."
"It's disgusting, and it's too straightforward. Give me a nice and subtle way of saying it...are you reluctant to let go of my body or me?" Cattleya slightly curled her lips, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and then with an inexplicable expression. asked with a smile.
"I can't bear to do anything. Just like I like you, I also like your shortcomings."
"Huh?" Cattleya narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, then held her hands on the soft body, leaned closer to Xu Qiansu, and said with a smile: "I am a murderer who regards human life as nothing."
"You regard human life as nothing, but you only care about me. I am secretly happy to be treated so specially by you."
Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu for a while, then sat back down and said, "Zhulan."
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but smile. Cattleya meant that she still cared about Zhulan.
A few seconds later, Cattleya added, "My temper is still unpredictable and I get angry at every turn."
"Even if you're angry, you're still cute."
Cattleya stopped talking. She was silent for a while, and then said, "I once wanted to kill you."
The breeze blows, and the violets on the window edge sway with the wind. One petal is blown up by the wind, and finally slowly falls on the luxurious carpet.
Xu Qiansu tilted her head to look at her, "I already knew it."
Cattleya tilted her head to look at him, then withdrew her gaze, holding up the quilt with her little hands, "I'm sleepy... Since you want to challenge the gym, you should seize the time to train... I started late in the first place, and I'm at your age. By that time, he had already become the Four Heavenly Kings of Hezhong."
Xu Qiansu put down the dinner plate, held the soft bag with both hands, and approached Cattleya, "You haven't told me yet whether you want to go to Galar with me."
"Not going."
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled and looked down at Cattleya's passionate and moving delicate profile.
"I still have things to deal with in the Hezhong area." She closed her eyes and answered calmly.
Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment, and then said: "I can accompany you to the Hezhong area first."
Before Xu Qiansu finished speaking, Cattleya opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows, a bit angry, "I'm not even afraid, so what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you and Ma Li will get close and do something wrong?"
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips, but she didn't become angry because of it. Instead, she thought about it for a while, then nodded slowly and answered calmly, "It's true that I'm a little scared."
Cattleya narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, "Since Ma Li returned to the beach villa, you rarely chat with her, right?"
The women around Xu Qiansu were indeed smarter than the last. It was even harder to hide something from them than to become the league champion.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, "After all, we need to avoid suspicion at this moment."
Hearing this, Cattleya became even more angry. She pushed Xu Qiansu and said, "Avoid suspicion, avoid suspicion, what suspicion are you avoiding? Why don't you avoid suspicion with Zhulan? After all, you just like her, so you can't see her. It’s just transparent.”
After her words fell, Cattleya pinched Xu Qiansu's face again and said in a threatening tone, "If I can win once, I won't lose. If you alienate her like this, you can do nothing but emphasize to me your mental cheating. In any sense.”
Xu Qiansu laughed dumbly, "What's the truth? Am I avoiding the wrong by avoiding suspicion?"
"Wrong! I don't want you to avoid suspicion. I want you to get along with her normally, even if you like her, in the end you will like me the most, and in the end you will choose me." Cattleya's tone was cold and unquestionable The arrogance and nobility said slowly.
"What inexplicable idea do you have? Do you like me to be close to other women?"
"How else can I say that my personality is unpredictable?" Cattleya's charming and pretty face suddenly showed a gentle smile, and then the tenderness turned into coldness in an instant, "But I just want you not to avoid suspicion, I didn’t let you get close to other women... You are very good at changing concepts, my Su."
Xu Qiansu held Cattleya's little hand that pinched the side of his face, "Then what do you mean?"
"Even if Ma Li met you earlier than me, even if you like her better, even if I used tricks to win her, no matter what the process is, you must be mine." Cattleya raised her chin slightly, looking high and high road.
Xu Qiansu understood. The reason why Cattleya wanted Xu Qiansu to treat Ma Li with a normal attitude was because she hoped that she could defeat Ma Li in all aspects instead of relying on small tricks and scheming... She wanted Xu Qiansu to choose her willingly, not because 'responsibility'.
"I'm so tired." Xu Qiansu moved slightly closer. At such a distance, he could even breathe the air that Cattleya had breathed.
"Didn't you tell me that story about the monk and the princess? They may be a golden boy and a beautiful girl, a perfect match, but no matter what, they shouldn't be forced to spend their lives together in that way." Cattleya's passionate and seductive eyebrows With a slight bend, there was a smile that seemed both charming and teasing, "A willing choice, for me, far outweighs responsibility, drugs, moral character, or force majeure external factors."
Xu Qiansu stopped talking. He leaned down and pressed Cattleya's soft pink lips.
call----
The breeze blew by, and another violet petal fell with the wind, and finally fell slowly on the luxurious carpet.
Ma Li was curled up on the sofa in front of the living room, holding the Book of Virtues in one hand and a pen in the other hand. She was jotting down something in the notebook in front of her. From time to time, she would put the pen against her smooth chin and look at the person lying on her back. A small marsupial on the pillow beside me.
Originally, Zoroa was the youngest Pokémon in the team, and had excited the little marsupial for a long time, but now after such an incident, the little marsupial has become the smallest Pokémon in the team... In terms of strength, Xu Qiansu There is basically no serious comparison between these Pokémon, so it is not easy to judge.
Except for Gardevoir, no one is confident that they can defeat the opponent.
However, since the little marsupial is the youngest and has the fewest moves, Ma Li naturally puts more attention on her.
As for Soraya... As a Pokémon that uses resentment as its source of power, she has never hated anyone, so she has no power and cannot fight at all. Xu Qiansu has no intention of letting her fight, so she There is no need to make a training plan for her.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps came.
Ma Li turned her head and looked. Xu Qiansu held on to the fence, stepped down the stairs, came to the living room, and poured herself a glass of water.
"You cried and begged Cattleya to let her go to Galar with you?" Ma Li glanced at it and then looked away. She continued to look at the little marsupial and judged her cultivation status, but she asked mercilessly. .
Xu Qiansu finished drinking the water, put down the cup, sat down, picked up the little marsupial, put it on her lap, and smiled softly, "Even if I cry and beg her, she won't follow."
The little marsupial raised its little face and glanced at Xu Qiansu, then yawned again, curled up on Xu Qiansu's thigh, wrapped its chubby little tail around its body, covering its side and face like a scarf... and continued to sleep.
"Then it's me who hindered your honeymoon." Ma Li looked away from the marsupial and wrote 'excellent flexibility' in her notebook, saying calmly.
There was unexplained aggression and sarcasm in his words.
Can you not be sarcastic? Cattleya could guess that Xu Qiansu was alienating Ma Li, so how could Ma Li not see it.
Xu Qiansu looked at her calm side face, then looked away, picked up the teapot, stood up and brewed black tea.
Tsk tsk tsk.
The hot water penetrated into the teapot, and white steam came out.
Xu Qiansu put tea leaves inside and said, "I've been absent-minded lately. Thank you Miss Mali for taking care of the Pokémon for me."
"Recently? Today is March 9th, and you didn't come back until the night of March 7th. The scope of your 'recently' is a bit short."
Mary's words have two meanings.
First, it was to pick a thorn in Xu Qiansu's words to show that she was very dissatisfied.
Secondly, it was a hint to Xu Qiansu that not only 'recently', but since the two met, Ma Li often helped train his Pokémon.
Xu Qiansu understood what Ma Li meant.
He looked through the lid of the teapot at the tea leaves floating on the water, then took the cup and poured a cup of black tea. Then he took half a sugar cube and put it into the cup, stirred it gently for a while, and placed it in front of Ma Li. , "This is a thank you gift."
Ma Li glanced sideways at Xu Qiansu, then picked up the cup and took a sip, "It's too hot."
"Who told you not to even blow? Is the sweetness okay?"
"Can."
Xu Qiansu smiled, then poured herself a glass, blew it, took a sip, looked at the sparkling water, and said slowly: "Let's leave Sinnoh on March 12th, we can't Let Lillie wait too long in Cuixue Town."
"How many more days will we stay?" Ma Li asked with slightly raised eyebrows.
"I just asked, Cattleya will return to the various regions on March 12th... She has been idle for four months since the beginning of the year, and it's time to go back to work."
"You can challenge the gym anytime... Why don't you accompany her to the Hezhong area?" Ma Li asked again.
It's really scary. Could it be that she installed a listening device on Xu Qiansu's body?
Gardevoir trotted over, came behind Xu Qiansu, lay down on the sofa seat, put her arms around his neck, then blinked and looked at the black tea in Xu Qiansu's hand.
"Didn't you think this was bitter and not tasty?" Xu Qiansu handed over the teacup.
Gardevoir picked it up, took a sip, and then stuck out his pink tongue to show that this was still so bitter.
She put the tea cup back into Xu Qiansu's hands, and then trotted back to play with the Snow Demon Girl and the others.
Although Gardevoir looks mature, she is actually only half a year old...and naturally a bit playful.
Xu Qiansu was silent for a while, and then slowly shook her head, "Cattleya's work is not as busy as Zhulan's, and she has a private plane and convenient transportation, so although it is a farewell, it is impossible to leave for a few months."
"That's it." Ma Li's lips curled up slightly, and an inexplicable smile appeared on her pretty face.
She blew the tea gently, and the white air blew gently over it.
"You like me?" Ma Li suddenly asked.
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled. This kind of thing had never been said so straightforwardly between the two of them.
Xu Qiansu looked at the white air rising in the teacup, and then slowly placed it on the teacup, making a soft 'bang' sound on the coffee table.
He nodded slightly.
Ma Li smiled, a cute, gentle and happy smile.
"I already knew it."
