Chapter 52: For the Troubles of February 15th

On 13 February, the sky was overcast, with dense clouds and no rain, and a little bit of humidity in the air.

The spring rain in Binhai City is coming.

However, this did not disturb Xu Qiansu and Pokémon's morning exercise plans.

Xu Qiansu has only been in this world for more than two months, although the strength is still quite a distance away from Miss Ma Li, but this speed of progress, even Zhulan can't help but look sideways, the talent of Pokémon is one thing, the teaching of good teachers is one thing, and sufficient cultivation resources is one thing, but in the final analysis, the most important point that cannot be ignored is the self-discipline of enduring the drowsiness of the early morning and forcing herself to get up and train.

Today, however, there are some small changes.

"Exactly."

At half past six, the pickpocket cat jumped out of a window, stepped on the protruding stone wall, jumped downstairs, stepped on the grass in the backyard, scratched his ears with his hind feet, and then took an elegant cat step to Xu Qiansu.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiansu wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a towel and lowered his eyes and asked.

In the usual morning exercises, it is not common to see this cat who always doesn't take anyone seriously.

"Cha~" The pickpocket cat's two front paws rubbed gently on the grass, looking up at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly, he couldn't understand the words of the pickpocket cat, he could only barely understand what his Pokémon were saying to him...... However, I heard that the power of the waveguide has the mind to perceive Pokémon, so it indirectly understands the effect of Pokémon's language......

Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu half-squatted down and reached out to hold the small paw of the pickpocket cat.

"Cha?" The pickpocket cat tilted its head to look at him suspiciously.

The force of the waveguide does not need to be touched, but physical contact can make it easier for a novice like Xu Qiansu to perceive the waveguide of the pickpocket cat.

Xu Qiansu held his breath and condensed, the power of the wave guide was not a passive skill, he needed to concentrate and mobilize carefully.

It is like droplets of water dripping into the surface of the lake, rippling with dots.

Xu Qiansu looked at each other with the emerald green pupils of the pickpocket cat.

The pickpocket cat's eyes are beautiful, clear and bright, and Xu Qiansu can even clearly see her reflection in her pupils.

After a moment, he let go of the pickpocket cat's front paws, stood up, pondered for a while, and asked, "The day after tomorrow...... Is it Miss Mary's birthday? ”

The pickpocket cat didn't answer, it looked curiously at the front paws that she had just held with Xu Qiansu, the kind of touch that seemed to be a fusion of souls, she had never experienced.

She stretched out her little tongue and licked the hair on her front paws, then lightly jumped on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, followed her arm, and put her front paws on Xu Qiansu's hand.

That kind of mysterious and mysterious touch, she still wants to try.

Xu Qiansu pinched the pads on her front paws, which were soft and extremely elastic.

The pickpocket cat glanced at Xu Qiansu very humanely, she withdrew her paws, jumped off Xu Qiansu's shoulder, stepped on the step, climbed the wall, and drilled back into the villa through the window.

She came out to tell Xu Qiansu about this.

As far as Pokémon is concerned, he is not interested in birthdays, festivals and other human customs, and the pickpocket cat just thinks that Ma Li took time out to make meals and handmade cakes for him on Xu Qiansu's birthday, but Xu Qiansu should also do something for Ma Li.

Xu Qiansu looked at the disappearing figure of the pickpocket cat and thought to himself.

Ma Li never told Xu Qiansu about her birthday, did it turn out to be February 15...... What should I give?

"Leanne......" At this moment, Chirulian's voice interrupted Xu Qiansu's thoughts.

He picked Chirulian up and asked with a smile, "Not happy?" ”

Chirulian turned her face away.

She thought to herself, she was going to be overwhelmed with the Pokémon in the team, why did Marly's cat come over to join in the fun?

Xu Qiansu gently pinched the horn of Chirulian's head, which resembled a hair ornament.

He didn't understand the words of the pickpocket cat, and he needed to use the power of the waveguide to understand the meaning, but what Chirulian said to him was easy to understand.

He pondered for a moment, when Chirulian was still Larulas, his schedule was not so tight, and he could spare a lot of time to play with her every day, but since winter camping, most of the time was spent on special training, and when they got along, they basically focused on eating, bathing, and sleeping......

Is it too demanding for Pokémon?

"Leanne?" Chirulian tilted her little head, the small amber horns on her head moving slightly.

She put her arms around Xu Qiansu's neck and kissed him on the side of the cheek.

"When did you start the habit?" Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly and pinched Chirulian's little face.

When she was still Lalu Lasi, she didn't often kiss Xu Qiansu.

Chirulian didn't speak, just narrowed her eyes.

Although Xu Qiansu has more and more Pokémon, no matter what, he still spoils her so much.

I am really special in the bottom of Susu's heart.

Xu Qiansu did not let the Pokémon continue their morning exercises, but clapped their hands and said, "The special training ends here......

"Karuka?" The little supposer tilted its head, what time is it? Didn't you have to train until eight o'clock in the past?

Fuji Snake yawned, she had only been in the team for a few days, and she was not very familiar with the schedule, so she felt that her energy could not keep up.

The six tails don't matter, she will do whatever Xu Qiansu asks her to do.

She jumped on Xu Qiansu's shoulders with light steps and wrapped her tail around his neck.

Xu Qiansu said with a smile: "Today we went out to have a fun, but we basically didn't go out after coming to Binhai City for a long time, and we have been shrinking in the villa for special training, and we are going to suffocate to death...... Going out for a walk, relaxing, and broadening your horizons is beneficial to your cultivation. ”

In fact, Xu Qiansu just wanted to play with the Pokémon, saying this, but he didn't want them to have too much psychological burden.

Xu Qiansu returned to the villa with the Pokémon, and Marley had already started preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

He went over to help with the dishes.

Ma Li glanced at him, and while washing rice, she asked casually, "Why is it so fast this morning?" ”

"Quick? I'm not happy. ”

Ma Li tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled, and looked at Xu Qiansu, "This morning is an hour faster than usual?" ”

Her pale green eyes are as clear as the dew of early spring, and as moving as the maple leaves of autumn.

Xu Qiansu silently retracted his gaze, "No, it's nothing." ”

Why does he always want to make such a peachy joke with Marley lately?

However, he only seemed to have made this kind of joke in front of Marly.

No, Miss Mary is only fourteen years old, but in two days, she will be fifteen......

Xu Qiansu subconsciously used a slight force to directly break the cucumber that was being cleaned.

Morubé tilted his head and jumped onto the table, looking at the broken cucumber.

Ma Lidai's eyebrows furrowed, again, recently Xu Qiansu always said something inexplicable, but he didn't want to explain.

She turned her little face unconvinced, washed the rice silently, and didn't even bother to say anything about Xu Qiansu breaking the cucumber.

Then she picked up a handkerchief and wiped her hands, brushed the black hair hanging down her shoulders, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "What does 'unhappy' mean?" ”

"It's okay if you don't know."

"Are you provoking me?" Ma Li's good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Although I know that my profound knowledge and perfection have caused you a considerable amount of pressure, you don't have to comfort yourself in this way of concealment...... What's more, being honest about acknowledging my own shortcomings and learning from others is also something that I am great about. ”

Obviously, the first half of the sentence was mocking Xu Qiansu, but the second half of the sentence inexplicably turned into Ma Li's boasting.

Xu Qiansu looked at her delicate face, skin fairer than snow, seductive cherry lips, and slightly raised chin, and thought to herself, this woman is too cute......

He replied, "It means that it lasts for a long time." ”

"How long?" Ma Li tilted her head slightly, and her eyes were purer than spring rain, summer, autumn wind, and winter snow.

Xu Qiansu looked at her silent thinking expression, and couldn't help but chuckle and added: "That is, after we quarreled, I slowly walked from Binhai City to Wisdom Lake to commit suicide to apologize." ”

Lake Wisdom, one of the three major lakes in the Sinnoh region, is said to be inhabited by a Pokémon under the command of the creator god, and is quite a distance from Marina City.

Ma Li squinted at Xu Qiansu, and she didn't bother with anything 'fast or not', she said, "Why do you need to go to Wisdom Lake?" It's not close to the ocean. ”

"What if there is a quarrel and you let me commit suicide by throwing myself into the sea, and I go, and you are sad and wronged?" Xu Qiansu explained with a smile: "I walked from Binhai City to Wisdom Lake, and I slowed down, so it was enough time for us to reconcile...... That's what 'unhappy' means. ”

"You're going to have to quarrel with me?" But the point that Marley cares about is not unhappy for a long time.

"The point is that we will definitely reconcile."

"Oily cavity slippery." Ma Li turned her face away and began to boil porridge.

"Mobemo Beco~"

Xu Qiansu lowered his eyes, but saw that the cucumber he had accidentally broken had already been eaten by Mo Lu Beike.

He gently pinched Morube's soft ears and took out a few cucumbers to wash.

……

After breakfast, Zhulan hurried to the alliance again...... Her exhibition match with Gomatsu is in Marina City, but then she will go to other cities to fight and promote the ...... However, Zhulan wants to go back here for the night, so she has to take many flights back and forth.

After Xu Qiansu and Ma Li put away the tableware together, Xu Qiansu remembered that Jiadeliya hadn't eaten yet.

Most of the time she is still sleeping, but if she skips breakfast, she will complain that she is hungry.

Xu Qiansu glanced at the time, eight o'clock...... Send her some breakfast, and as a noble lady, she should have some unique insights into Miss Marly's birthday present.

He took the plate, filled a bowl of porridge, took two buns, walked out of the kitchen, and said, "I'll send these to Cadalia." ”

Gardelia doesn't eat much, and that's enough to eat.

Ma Li sat on the sofa drinking black tea, and nodded slightly when she heard the words.

There is nothing unusual about it, after all, Xu Qiansu has not delivered food to Jiadeliya once or twice.

Xu Qiansu stepped up the stairs, walked through the hallway, paused in front of Gardelia's room, and knocked softly on the door.

"Miss Gardelia, it's time for breakfast."

Click————

The door opens automatically again.

Xu Qiansu stepped into the house, stepped on the high-end soft carpet, and the tip of his nose once again came from the fragrance of a girl.

However, this fragrance, Xu Qiansu is about to get used to it.

Smack————

The door is closed.

Xu Qiansu took the food plate and walked to the bedside.

Cordelia propped up her upper body, still wearing the nightdress, her fluffy blonde hair hanging down in front of and behind her, covering her beautiful and seductive figure tightly.

She yawned cutely, then raised her eyes to look at Xu Qiansu and asked, "Ma Li's birthday, ask me what to do?" ”

"Mind reading again." Xu Qiansu smiled helplessly, picked up the white porridge and handed it to her.

Gardelia held the bowl in both hands, blew in small gulps, and snorted when she heard the words, "I want to read~"

Xu Qiansu naturally didn't care whether Gadelia read or not, he sat on the bed, tilted his head and asked: "Miss Ma Li is a gym trainer, although the town of Jianding has declined, she is still from a prominent family, and most of the things that can be bought with money are already strange to her, and I am still a shy person...... So what does Miss Cordelia suggest? ”

Gadelia sat down on the bed in a different position, revealing her white and tender little feet and a small piece of slender and white calves, she took a sip of white porridge, and repeated, "Marly's birthday, ask me what to do?" ”

"You two are both noble ladies, I have prepared Miss Mary's birthday present at the moment, and next time Miss Gardelia is born, I will naturally be able to give something more in line with your heart...... Rather, I'm asking for your opinion, but I'm actually exploring your hobbies. Xu Qiansu said eloquently.

Gardelia didn't raise her eyelids, took another bite of the bun, and said lightly: "Lies." ”

Mind reading again.

"Are the buns delicious?" Xu Qiansu opened the topic and changed the topic.

"It's delicious, I rarely eat this." Gardelia's attention was successfully drawn to him.

Steamed buns are not a special food in the Sinnoh and United regions, so Gardelia does not eat them often.

"I'm steaming."

"Good craftsmanship."

"So for the sake of the buns, Miss Gadelia is also the eldest lady, what do you think of Miss Marly's birthday gift?" Xu Qiansu went back to the topic.

Jiadelia squinted at Xu Qiansu, held the bun in her two small hands, and quickly ate it up, then clapped her little hands and said indistinctly: "The newspaper is finished~"

What she means is: the buns are finished, so she doesn't have to give her opinion on the buns.

Xu Qiansu was amused by Jiadelia, "Drink some porridge." ”

"I know." Gardelia chewed for a while, then took a small bowl and took a small sip of the porridge.

Xu Qiansu looked at her for a while, and then asked, "Miss Ma Li likes to read, but I lack understanding of this aspect, so it's naturally not okay to give one away...... What is Miss Gardelia's opinion on this? ”

"How can you conclude that I understand literature?"

"You give me the same feeling as Miss Marley, belonging to the all-round talent, and there are few things I don't understand."

Gadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu, tilted her chin slightly, and said proudly: "As a nobleman, I have been forced to learn all kinds of knowledge since I was a child, so you guessed right, but there are also some flaws...... I'm not omnipotent, I'm just omnipotent. ”

"Leonardo Gadelia da Vinci?"

"Leonardo da Vinci?" Jiadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu suspiciously, then nodded clearly, snorted, and said, "He doesn't have superpowers, so I'm even more powerful." ”

It's been read again, and it's still a very sensitive aspect of knowledge.

However, since the moment Xu Qiansu decided to make friends with Jiadelia, he didn't expect to hide it from her.

"Yes, yes, you're better." Xu Qiansu said a few words perfunctorily, and then asked: "So what do you recommend for books?" ”

"What did she give you for your birthday?" Gadelia asked instead.

"A valuable fountain pen, a handmade meal and a handmade cake......" Xu Qiansu recalled for a moment and smiled softly.

"Aren't you happy to send these things? So the heart is the most important thing. Gadelia said perfunctorily.

"The heart is the heart, but you can't just give something."

"What are you giving gifts for?" Gardelia took another sip of porridge, and then asked suddenly.

But before Xu Qiansu could answer, Gardelia said: "In order to make her like you, for the sake of ...... Get her, right? ”

Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows, this ...... In a sense, it's really not wrong.

"So the best gift is to leave her for a while and let her understand how important you are." Gardelia snorted lightly, drank the white porridge completely, and gently licked the cherry lips that were far more tempting than the white porridge with her pink little tongue.

Xu Qiansu took the empty bowl from Gardelia's hand and retorted: "What is it that doesn't leave...... The purpose of giving gifts is to make her happy, not to 'get her'. ”

"Hmph, half and half." Gadelia beckoned gently, and a pack of tissues flew out of the bedside table, she wiped her lips, and then continued, "Haven't you been to the ruins of the Seicui region recently?" Wouldn't it be nice to take something nice out of it and give it to her? Whatever you send anyway, she'll be happy. ”

"It's been delivered, and it's too perfunctory." Xu Qiansu shook his head.

"Then you can take her to wash the green and play for a few days."

"If there's a way to go to the Xicui area, then I'm really interested." Xu Qiansu put the empty bowl on the plate, casually responded to Gardelia, and silently thought about what to send in his heart.

Jiadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu, then changed her posture, leaned closer to the soft bed with both hands, and said angrily: "Just now you said that if I also have a birthday, you will give me a gift...... Is it true or false? ”

Well? This kind of problem...... Is Gadelia the one who cares about this kind of thing?

Xu Qiansu thought in his heart, and replied: "If you want it, then I will naturally not forget it...... But you're a daughter, I'm a poor acid trainer, and when the time comes, don't think that my gift is cheap. ”

With a slight smile in her clear eyes, she sat back down and said softly, "Marly's favorite books focus on literature and Pokémon cultivation...... But your reddish-purple scroll is very practical, so you can give her literary and artistic classes...... Natsume Yuzuru's "I'm a Pickpocket Cat" is not bad......"

“…… As a pickpocket cat, the protagonist looks down on the social status quo of Guandu and the Johto area, and looks down on the tide of so-called modern civilization, and at the same time makes all kinds of mockery and irony, depicting a group of literati and snobbs who are accustomed to talking about the world and the past, and vividly exposing and ridiculing capitalists, rulers, and other ......"

“…… And Marley also has a pickpocket cat, so presumably she will be interested. ”

Xu Qiansu looked at Jiadelia, who was talking eloquently, but she didn't expect that she really had insights into literature.

He laughed, picked up his plate and stood up, "Thank you Miss Cardelia for your proposal." ”

With that, he hurried away.

Gadelia looked at Xu Qiansu's back, and waited for him to disappear behind the door before lying on his back on the soft bed.

She exhaled softly.

"In the face of me, you can still say Ma Li on the left and Ma Li on the right......"

A soft murmur echoed through the room.
