Chapter 33: I Like Him
"Boku~"
Xu Qiansu stretched out his hand and pressed it on Pokkiss's chubby body, the feel was soft and delicate, as if pressed into cotton, but it made her giggle.
"I've been hit so many times by Chirulian and the Six Tails, why is it still so radiant?"
Porkis tilted his head and smirked again.
"She travelled with me 10 years ago when she was a Pokeby and was used to fighting...... The battle just now was not as fierce as the training of my Pokémon in the past. ”
Zhulan sat on the sofa with her slender and plump thighs cocked, and said in a quiet tone.
She's telling the truth, but listen to the tone...... It seems that although she can admit defeat in a chic manner, the competitive psychology in her heart still makes her a little awkward.
Xu Qiansu laughed, thinking that if he fought against Zhulan next time, it would be better to admit defeat as soon as possible.
There are back and forth, which is the sophistication of human feelings.
Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Ma Li, who was sitting on the sofa with a sip of black tea, and asked, "What does Miss Ma Li want to go to next?" ”
"Whatever you want."
"Doesn't it matter if I make up my mind every time?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Obviously, I was still making trouble because of this yesterday." Xu Qiansu said with a smile, but he inexplicably remembered Miss Ma Li's feet, and there seemed to be a slippery touch in his palm.
The so-called big beads and small beads are lined with silver plates, which are smooth and soft and even silky, and that's just the case.
Ma Li obviously thought of this layer as well, and her calm and waveless pretty face instantly turned cold, and it was hard to imagine that someone could really change her face so quickly.
She glanced at Xu Qiansu coldly, meaninging, "Don't mention it again in the future, and at the same time, you forget about it for me." ’
Xu Qiansu nodded hurriedly, "Don't mention it, don't mention it." ”
But he never mentioned what he had forgotten.
Zhulan propped up her side face, looked at the two people who couldn't get into the topic at all, giggled inexplicably, and said; "The two of you have a really good relationship, obviously you've only known each other for two months."
"Whether my relationship with him is good or not remains to be studied, but there are people in the world who have known each other for decades but are strangers, and there are people who have been friends after a few conversations...... No surprises. Ma Li took a sip of black tea, although she respected Zhulan's personality and strength in her heart, but her words were neither humble nor arrogant, neither alienated nor flattering.
"Miss Marley means that I am Ling's confidant?" Xu Qiansu tilted his head and asked.
"You have a lot of characteristics, but only love alone is the most prominent." Marley said without mercy.
"The statement of self-confidence varies from person to person, and generally speaking, as long as you judge others with prejudice, you are either ignorant and arrogant, or disgusted from the bottom of your heart, or you have other ......intentions," Xu Qiansu sat down beside Ma Li, picked up a cucumber from the table and broke it in two, and said:
"And Miss Mary is very clever, and at the same time does not hate me, much less have any plans against me, so she must adopt the hypothetical principle and come up with a fourth possibility......"
Xu Qiansu took a bite of the crisp cucumber and chewed.
Marie took the other one from his hand, took a bite as well, and asked with interest, "What is the fourth possibility?" ”
Xu Qiansu saw Qi Lu Lian looking up at him, so he handed her the cucumber he had eaten a bite, and at the same time tilted his chin slightly, and said confidently: "You are in love with me." ”
Zhulan, who was listening silently on the side, couldn't help but laugh with a 'poof', and she didn't know how Xu Qiansu thought of this from 'prejudice'.
Marley laughed too, but to try to find a smile on her face would be tantamount to slandering her for being uncute.
"Xu Qiansu, I underestimated you, I thought that narcissism to your level was already the limit of human beings, but in fact you can already enjoy the treatment of Pokémon...... Studied by doctors. ”
"Don't you like that?"
"Like? Where did you see that? ”
"That's not ...... you like," Xu Qiansu asked.
"Shut up."
"Okay."
Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu coldly again, before picking up the cucumber and taking a bite gently.
The conversation just started and ended inexplicably.
Zhulan blinked, thinking that Fang Cai should still cut some melons to eat...... It's a pity.
She looked at the table a few times, and had to pick up an apple and bite it.
"Ah~"
Jiadelia, who had been sleeping on Zhulan's thighs and had never said a word from beginning to end, opened her pink and soft red lips.
Zhulan handed the apple fruit she had bitten to her lips.
Chirulian held the cucumber and took a bite, and looked at Gardelia strangely, how could this female human still resemble herself.
Thinking about it, Chirulian raised her face and looked at Xu Qiansu again.
Xu Qiansu didn't notice Chirulian's gaze, and he had already begun to silently think about his future plans.
The Champions Cup is still about half a month away, which means that they can still live in the Sinnoh region for a while, and it just so happens that he also wants to learn the skills of Pokkiss's similar 'inch strength'.
It's just that...... Although Zhulan admires him, she has repeatedly sought her help, and now she has to learn other people's unique combat skills.
Although this world is not a river and lake, this can also be regarded as learning other people's unique secrets, ask yourself, if anyone wants to come to learn from Xu Qiansu the skills of his little master Caidou, he will never agree casually...... At least I have to ask the little master of Caidou.
What's more, this person owes too much, Xu Qiansu doesn't know how to pay it back, and he really can't help it.
He rubbed his eyebrows, then looked at Zhulan and asked, "Miss Zhulan, is there anything you need help with?" ”
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Zhulan and Ma Li let out a soft sigh at the same time, looking at him.
Why did you suddenly bring this up? What does Xu Qiansu want to do?
"Huh? What's wrong? Xu Qiansu was even more puzzled than these two.
Only Gadelia was unmoved, like a big cat with fluffy hair, slowly biting on the apple fruit handed by Zhulan.
Zhulan subconsciously wrapped the blonde hair around her shoulders, and immediately realized that Xu Qiansu should just want to repay the favor.
Ma Li also realized this, but she knew Xu Qiansu better, and knew that he probably wanted to ask Zhulan for something.
Zhulan smiled briskly, although she didn't care about her support for the newcomer, but it was always a pleasant thing to be remembered for her goodness...... There is a sense of lightness that has been affirmed and faced.
She took the fruit that had already been bitten in half by Cordelia, took a bite, thought about it again, and looked around.
The vine snake ran out again, not in the living room.
Faced with the new partner, the little suppurnium was very curious and wanted to be friends with her, so they went out with him.
There is no need to worry about safety...... After all, Zhulan didn't just bring two Pokémon.
It is estimated that the safest place in the entire Sinnoh area is this villa and its surroundings.
Zhulan whispered, "You should understand what I mean, but I still want to emphasize ......"
As she spoke, her expression became serious: "The Pardea region is the hope of the vine and the snake, not our hope, on this journey, you had better find something to do for yourself and her, and if you can rub it for a while, you can rub it for a while, and find a way to find some other obsessions for the vine and the snake snake, so that if the hope is disappointed, she will not be like a dead heart." ”
Xu Qiansu nodded, he naturally understood Zhulan's intentions, he had planned to take the vine snake to travel in the Galar region for a period of time first, instead of running to Padia in a hurry.
He didn't know much about that area, but he only knew some basic common sense through the promotional videos of his previous life, but he also knew quite limitedly.
"You want to stay in Sinnoh for a while?" Zhulan asked again.
"Yes."
Zhulan looked at Gardelia, who was sleeping in a daze on her lap, and said, "As a champion, I'm not so free and won't come here often...... So I hope you can stay here during this time and take care of her. ”
Xu Qiansu felt a little helpless in his heart, it was naturally good to have a place to live, but Jiadelia was the Four Heavenly Kings of the United States, how could she become a child who needed their care in Zhulan's mouth?
But naturally he won't object, which is just a matter of incident.
And to live in Gardelia's house, which is what should have been done.
"Anything else?"
The two points that Zhulan said are not requirements at all.
This time, Zhulan thought about it for a long time, and after she ate the apple and wild fruit in her hand, she casually threw the kernel into the trash, and said, "I am a mythological scholar, and I am very interested in the legends of various regions, and I hope to tell me when you have more information about the sword and shield in the future......"
"Okay, anything else?"
Zhulan was stunned, and couldn't help blinking her phoenix eyes, in her opinion, these requirements were enough......
Why is Xu Qiansu still not satisfied? Want more?
Does he really just want to return the favor? But I didn't help him much...... Zhulan couldn't help but ponder in her heart, thinking about it, she glanced at Ma Li, and then retracted her gaze, with an easy-going look as usual.
Xu Qiansu thought that Zhulan was thinking about other requirements, so he didn't bother, completely unaware that Zhulan was already thinking crookedly......
In the end, Gadelia couldn't stand it anymore, she opened her eyes, looked at Zhulan from the bottom up, and said, "He wants to learn your fighting skills." ”
Xu Qiansu glanced at Jiadelia suspiciously, I don't know why she suddenly wanted to say what she wanted, but it was okay, anyway, sooner or later.
Xu Qiansu nodded, "Pokkiss can only use such a tiny movement to perform the air slash, this kind of 'inch strength' like technique is very clever, I hope Miss Zhulan can give you a lesson or two...... However, I also know that this kind of thing is a hole card and a strong foundation that trainers are proud of, and they can't be taught to others casually...... That's why I want to do more things for Miss Zhulan, of course, if it doesn't work, I won't force it. ”
Xu Qiansu said a lot sincerely, but found that Zhulan didn't seem to listen at all, but there was a little inexplicable embarrassment in her eyes.
Can you not be embarrassed, Zhulan just misunderstood a lot, and almost had to directly issue a good person card to Xu Qiansu.
But it's good if it's not, it's good if it's not...... Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She waved her hand gently, with that gentle and elegant look on her face, "'Inch strength', it's quite a fitting name, if you really want to learn, naturally there is nothing you can't teach......
Zhulan turned and said, "But you can only stay in Sinnoh for less than half a month, right?" I may only be able to spare a few days to teach you, but whether you can learn it or not is up to you. ”
"Thank you Miss Zhulan, I don't need to repay anything in the future, I'm here now, if you have anything you need me to do, just ask." Since he said it, Xu Qiansu didn't have to hide it, and said with a smile.
Ma Li glanced at him, and Xu Qiansu silently restrained her smile again, her expression serious.
Zhulan smiled lightly, then pondered for a moment, and slowly shook her head, "You can't help me with what I should be worried about...... Just train in peace now, and I'm waiting for the day when you pull me down from the championship in the future. ”
In other words, Xu Qiansu was willing to help, but his strength did not allow it.
It's also true, what Xu Qiansu can do, why can't Zhulan do it? Why rely on Xu Qiansu's help?
"Miss Zhulan is so competitive, would she still have this kind of thought?" Xu Qiansu sighed secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth.
"People are fickle, and today I expect you to beat me...... Tomorrow, I will knock you down as soon as you come. ”
"Like Pokkiss today?"
"Like Porkis today." Zhulan nodded, and then laughed inexplicably.
Xu Qiansu wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his mouth were hooked, he hurriedly pressed it down.
He gave Marie a look, 'I didn't smile. ’
Ma Li neither interjected in the conversation between Xu Qiansu and Zhulan, nor did she pay attention to Xu Qiansu's eyes at the moment, she was slowly brushing Yibu with a brush.
Backyard outside the villa.
The little saccharoid was looking up, its big black eyes full of envy at the rattan snake that was jumping lightly in the air with a rattan whip hooking the trunk of the tree and the water chestnut of the villa.
She wanted to swing around so nimbly.
Noticing the pouchy beast's eyes, the vine snake landed in front of her with a graceful turn, holding its hands and tilting its head slightly.
The little pouch beast couldn't stop clapping his hands in shame.
The vine snake was even more proud.
After clapping his hands, the little saccharidine glanced back at the villa and proposed, "We should go back, right?" ”
"Why go back and be free outside, isn't it?" The vine snake glanced at the little sacrum suspiciously and asked.
"Free?" The little skull-beast knocked on the little skull cap in distress, she didn't feel free outside, she only felt that she had been out for so long, would Xu Qiansu be worried, and she also missed him, and didn't want to leave his side for too long.
She said, "But now that we're plain Pokémon, we should stay by his side." ”
"Who prescribed it?" Fuji Snake didn't pay attention to the words of the little supposer, and even disdained it a little.
"Hmm...... It doesn't seem like anyone has a rule, but I'm happy to be around him...... He was also very happy, he liked to hold me and touch my tail. Where could the little sacchar discern the disdain in the vine snake's words, she thought for a moment, and then answered honestly.
"He, he, him, why don't you leave him without saying a word?" The vine snake rolled its eyes very humanely.
"I like him." The little suppur laughed and said.
"Like? Likes are the least worth mentioning in this world. The vine snake spun around lightly, like a forest elf and an elegant princess, and she said, "There have been many humans who have said they liked me, but no one really cares about me......
“…… At the end of the day, you're just his Pokémon and just his Pokémon, and Pokémon are human tools...... If it weren't for the fact that you could protect him and bring him honor and status, would you think he would be so good to you? If you can't feed him, you'll get him in trouble...... He's already throwing you away like garbage. ”
The vine snake didn't mean to encourage the pouchy beast, she really thought so.
Because that's what she experienced.
But she also saw this stupid Pokémon, that is, she would unconditionally maintain her trainer.
Just when the vine snake was waiting for the steasy beast's sharp rebuttal, he heard the steabag beast say:
"Oh...... So that's the case, then I'm going to be a little bit stronger, so that he can live a better life, and I can't get him into trouble...... I don't want to leave him~ Thank you for reminding me~"
The Teasbag grinned and said gratefully.
