"Are you ....."

Suddenly, a gentle female voice with a slight hesitation came from not far behind her.

Hearing this, Yan Ming listened to the direction of the voice as if he was talking to himself, so he turned to look and saw a woman wearing a pink shirt and a purple short skirt, carrying a few bags of belts full of vegetables and fruits in her hands, looking at herself with a little thought.

Looking at the outfit of the woman in front of him, with just a glance, Yan Ming understood that the person in front of him should be Xiaozhi's mother, Hanako.

And as if remembering something, Hanako was surprised and immediately smiled.

"Are you the boy in front of the shop in Yuhong City before?"

Yan Ming had been wearing the silver-white short-sleeved sweatshirt and the gray military pants until he was injured recently, and there was no spare clothes before, and considering that it was summer, he changed into a white shirt with a black jacket on the outside, and the pants were still gray military pants.

But even so, with the black gloves on Yan Ming's hands, as well as the increase in height, the change in figure, and the looming sharp temperament revealed in the sun, it is still very different from the slightly depressed and vigilant, hedgehog-like feeling that Hanako encountered in Yuhong City at that time.

So although Hanako looked at Yan Ming's back and looked a little familiar, she couldn't recognize it for a while, and she still remembered it when she saw Yan Ming's gentle face and that smile that was also reassuring and peaceful.

Hearing this, Yan Ming smiled and nodded.

"Auntie, we meet again."

Hearing this, the expression on Hanako's face also softened, and she nodded and said.

"Yes, I was in a hurry in Yuhong City at that time, but I didn't thank you for doing me a favor."

Yan Ming shook his head slightly.

"I don't need such an aunt, it was also a convenient thing at the time.... But it's a coincidence that we'll meet again this time. ”

He said without blushing and without a beating heart, after all, he and Hanako got to know each other in a hurry, and he didn't know if Dr. Oki told Hanako in the morning, after all, his research was really busy.

"yes, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Hanako smiled and looked at the direction Yan Ming was originally going to go, as if she had thought of something, Hanako suddenly asked.

"Are you called Yanming?"

Hearing Hanako say this, Yan Ming asked with a puzzled pretense.

"Yes, Auntie, how did you know my name?"

Hanako saw that Yanming admitted it, and the smile on her face was even better, and then she explained with a smile.

"Because our Zhenxin Town is not big, except for the area in the center, the gateways are usually separated by some distance, and Xiao Yan, the next stop on the road you are taking now is my house."

As she spoke, Hanako pulled out a communicator from her pocket, which was Dr. Oki's portrait.

"Besides, Dr. Oki also greeted me just now, saying that a young trainer named Yan Ming will visit me, no, I just changed the route and went to buy some vegetables and came back, and I am going to leave you at home for lunch."

Hearing Hanako say this, Yan Ming scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed look.

"That's really troublesome Aunt you, I'm going to want to get to know Ash, the trainer that Dr. Oki admires, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, Auntie, you are actually Ash's mother."

As he spoke, Yan Ming moved closer and reached out to take the bulging bag in Hanako's hand.

"Auntie, I'll help you carry it, although the next household will arrive, there is still some distance on this road."

Seeing Yanming stretching out his hand, Hanako originally wanted to shirk it, but when she thought that the other party was introduced by Dr. Ohki, there should be no problem in all aspects, and she also came to visit her own kid, and she thought that she would inevitably interact often in the future, so it was okay to do this now, but to increase the distance so as not to be embarrassed to meet for the first time.

Thinking so, Hanako was not pretentious, so she handed it to Yan Ming, still chattering in her mouth.

"Xiao Yan, you can call me Aunt Hanako in the future, that kid in my family is very fond of trainers, I think you should have a common topic in the future, and you can have a good exchange of feelings later."

As she spoke, Hanako's gaze fell on Zoroa, who had been lying on Yan Ming's back jacket just now, and saw Zoroa's transformed Pikachu showing his head, sleepy-eyed, as if he had just woken up, and couldn't help it, Hanako burst out laughing.

Seeing Hanako looking at him, Zoroa made a fuss again, immediately retracted his head, and fell back behind Yan Ming.

Seeing this, Yan Ming was also helpless.

"Aunt Hanako, he's clingy, and he trained a little late last night, so he's a little lacking in energy now, and he doesn't want to get into the Poké Ball."

"It's okay Xiaoyan, but do you also own a Pikachu, among the companions who often accompany Ash, there is also a cute Pikachu."

Hanako waved her hand and said with a smile, taking steps as she spoke, and walked towards the way home with her words.

The two chatted and walked, and Hanako tried to ask Yan Ming about his past experiences and adventures, and Yu Ming also answered them one by one very patiently and selectively.

As Hanako asked and Yan Ming answered, Hanako also had a general understanding of Yan Ming.

Even if she understands that Yan Ming still hasn't told her, but for those things that are not private, Yan Ming's answers are only orderly, and in these subtle words alone, Hanako can vaguely capture the extraordinary strength of Yan Ming's own strength.

She has been growing up alone with Ash all these years, although Ash's father has not left, but she is clear about the importance of that job, so even if he can't come back after so many years, she doesn't have many complaints.

It's just that Ash misses his father buried in his heart, and she is also clear.

Yes, after all, his father is a Pokémon Master! Xiao Zhi, who followed in his footsteps, didn't he have a copy and experience the feeling of his father walking the road....

It is also because she has been alone with Ash all these years, watching Ash's continuous growth, change, and growth, that she can know, and she can better understand and feel the state of mind of the teenager in front of her who is changing.

She can understand how unknown and difficult a teenager's growth path should be.

Growing up to now, under the story of the young man in front of him who is difficult to tell in a word, the current teenager still retains that pure heart....

Sure enough..... The same teenager......

Yan Ming felt the subtle change in Hanako's tone towards him beside him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He doesn't like to use his imperfect past as a word to win sympathy, he has never felt that he is the worst in the world, and there are still people who are worse off than him, but who are also fighting hard and unwilling to fate....

It's just that, maybe it's really been a person for a long time, and for the first time, someone is really asking themselves about the short things in these parents, and that subtle concern has inadvertently evoked some memories that he cherished in his heart.....

Perhaps, he should admit that he is not a strong person, and occasionally like this, he is actually not bad....

In this way, in the subtle atmosphere reached by the two, the two of them marched towards Xiaozhi's house together.
