Chapter 25: Slippery in the palm of your hand
The voice fell, but no one answered.
But there was light in the crack in the door.
Xu Qiansu knocked on the door again, "Miss Ma Li?" β
No one responded.
Xu Qiansu glanced at the dream demons, wanting them to pass through the door and help him open the door.
But in the next moment, I heard a 'click', and the door opened lightly.
looked sideways, but it was a croaking frog looking up at Xu Qiansu with a face full of band-aids.
"Quack~" It scratched its head and smiled embarrassedly.
It still seems to be obsessed with what it was mad about today.
Xu Qiansu nodded its forehead and immediately looked into the room.
Marley seemed to have just taken a shower, wearing black pajamas with long sleeves and long pants, curled up on the single sofa next to the bed with bare feet, shoulder-length black hair with a little drops of water scattered on her back.
She held Zhu Zhishu in one hand and a gel pen in the other, writing down something in the small notebook against her lap, and the rustle of the tip of the pen rubbing the paper came from time to time.
Eevee and the pickpocket cat are also curled up in the corner of the single couch, covered with a blanket, as if they have fallen asleep.
Mo Lu Beike was quite energetic, sitting on the table with a bag of elf food and stuffing it into his mouth, and when he saw Xu Qiansu outside the door, he stretched out his little hand and said hello.
"Mobemo Beco~"
was not affected by Xu Qiansu and Ma Li's quarrel at all.
Ma Li heard the sound of the door opening, raised her eyes slightly and squinted at Xu Qiansu, then retracted her gaze and said lightly: "Go out." β
Xu Qiansu ignored her, walked in directly, and closed the door by the way.
Ma Li's eyebrows furrowed, and she subconsciously shrunk her white and tender feet inward, and said coldly: "Deaf? β
"People just listen selectively to what they like to hear." Xu Qiansu approached, stopped in front of Ma Li's curled up single sofa, and smiled.
Ma Li put the gel pen holder in the notebook, and then closed the notebook, making a crisp sound.
"If you're reasoning, get out." She said coldly.
"I'm not here to educate Miss Marly...... I'm here to admit my mistake. Xu Qiansu stretched out her hand and wanted to massage Ma Li, but was coldly slapped away by her.
"Admit your mistake?" Ma Lidai raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her face, and glanced at Xu Qiansu, "Why do you want to admit your mistakes in the face of unfamiliar people?" β
This woman, obviously heard Xu Qiansu's voice outside the door just now, and she still wants Xu Qiansu to emphasize it again.
"Nonsense. What an unfamiliar person, the closest person I have in this world is Miss Mary. β
"Nonsense." Ma Li didn't raise her eyelids, and sneered, "What about Mrs. Mo Fei?" I've never seen anyone you respect so much...... What about colored beans? She is your master, and she also gave you a valuable property...... I'm not your friend, so why should I be angry and grovel down and come to me to confess my mistakes? β
Xu Qiansu took Ma Li's small notebook and put it aside, "I shouldn't suspect that Miss Ma Li doesn't treat me as a friend." β
Hearing this, Ma Li's anger went down a little.
She turned her face away, and immediately glanced at Xu Qiansu again, and said, "Why do you want to admit your mistake?" β
This is an interesting question, the two sides quarrel, whether it is right or wrong, as long as they still want to live together, one party must give in.
Xu Qiansu replied: "Next month, I hope Miss Ma Li can still travel with me." β
"Fifty thousand, plus the miscellaneous expenses these days...... Seventy thousand. β
"I have so much money from Miss Hua Marly?"
"Considering that you will be in a state of poverty for a long time in the future, I need some funds in advance, too much?"
"Not too much, not too much." Xu Qiansu laughed.
This passage sounds incomprehensible, but the meaning is actually very simple, namely:
Even if Xu Qiansu's strength surpasses Ma Li in the future, even if the original contract no longer needs to be fulfilled, the two will still travel together.
Maybe she had seen too many partings by Xu Qiansu's side, so she couldn't help but think of that kind of scene...... And she was reluctant to let Xu Su in her heart.
This is the fundamental reason why Ma Li has become so sensitive and strange, and even a little unreasonable and aggressive.
Xu Qiansu didn't understand it before, but now that he figured it out, he only felt that this woman was really awkward and troublesome, but she was cute without pinching trouble.
He couldn't help but laugh softly, walked to the back of the sofa, and reached out to gently squeeze Marly's slender fragrant shoulder.
This time, Ma Li didn't slap Xu Qiansu's hand.
"During the Cold War, you were so ruthless? When I got off the plane, I was worried that you were thinly dressed and cold, so I glanced at you. Xu Qiansu complained.
Ma Li's tense body was tense because of Xu Qiansu's touch, and gradually relaxed under Xu Qiansu's gentle massage techniques.
She stroked Eevee's soft fur and said, "You have thick skin, what do I have to worry about?" And people like you who are reluctant to break clean do not necessarily have to suffer. β
"People, there are always some bad things that can't be changed, so we need to understand each other and support each other."
Ma Li leaned back on the sofa slightly, closed her eyes, and did not speak.
Xu Qiansu laughed a few times, then looked at the quack frog standing beside him, and asked, "What are its characteristics?" β
The croaking frog noticed Xu Qiansu's gaze, and couldn't help but turn around the side of his face, and smiled innocently.
"It's easy to change."
Changing freely, that is, changing to the same attributes as your own moves.
This characteristic is naturally very strong, extremely maneuverable, and of great tactical significance, and even among many characteristics, it also belongs to the type of the first echelon...... However, I heard that the Koga ninja frog in a certain area can only play a part because of the water and soil adaptation, the difference in the environment, and the change freely......
But what does this have to do with Miss Mary's croaking frog?
There is a flight champion version that is not updated by many generations.
The croaking frog caught by Miss Marly in the Carlos area will naturally not be unable to play its characteristics due to inexplicable reasons such as unsuitability.
Xu Qiansu gently rubbed Ma Li's fragrant shoulder, and guessed in his mouth: "I don't know if the characteristics of the rattan snake are contradictory......
Ma Li didn't answer, but asked instead: "There are so many vines and snakes in Dr. Yew, if you want to choose, how can you find one with the right temperament and good talent...... Why do you need to choose this one next to Zhulan? Not too much trouble? Or is it ...... Do you just want to get to know Zhulan? β
"What do you recognize?" Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly, "I'm a nobody, even if I know Zhulan?" With her experience, I'm afraid I've already seen hundreds of talented trainers like me...... I chose this rattan snake just because I wanted to choose it, and if it didn't want to follow me, it wouldn't be too late to go to Dr. Yew. β
Ma Li propped up her side face, turned her head to look out the window at the sea view, and didn't say a word.
The sea reflects the brilliant starry sky, and the evening breeze blows through and sets off the slightest waves.
"But what notes was Miss Marley taking earlier? Choosing a skill for a croaking frog? As he spoke, Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at the notebook he put aside, and reached out to take it.
Ma Li was slightly stunned, then turned around, raised her bare foot and kicked Xu Qiansu lightly.
"It's almost twelve o'clock, and I'm going to sleep...... Get back. β
Xu Qiansu's reaction was so fast, he directly reached out and held Ma Li's small white and tender feet.
At the same time, he subconsciously kneaded it gently.
Ma Li was stunned, and then a touch of shame appeared in her cold and calm expression.
"Get out!"
She gritted her teeth and lifted her other foot to kick Xu Qiansu's waist.
This time, Xu Qiansu didn't dare to hold it anymore, he sneered and let go of the delicate and smooth soft feet in his hand, and took a few steps back.
"See you tomorrow morning."
When the words fell, Xu Qiansu closed the door and left the room.
Ma Li exhaled deeply, but she didn't care too much about being taken advantage of by Xu Qiansu, but took the notebook and tore off the page.
The paper ball streaked through the air and landed accurately into the trash can.
