Early morning.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Xu Qiansu handed over the six tails to Miss Joy's care, while he found Miss Mary and continued to ask her for flute advice.

…… In fact, during the journey to Caolu Town, Xu Qiansu had already begun to ask her for advice, so it was impossible for Ma Li to refuse.

They come to the backyard of the Pokémon Center, which is sparsely populated and doesn't disturb the Pokémon who are healing at the Pokémon Center.

Miss Joy planted a lot of melons and fruit plants here, as if for ornamentation, so she also built a verandah that was not long, but very classic...... The verandah does not have a roof, but is decorated with many spider plant-like plants, which cover the verandah densely, leaving no gaps.

The weather was a bit overcast, with occasional flashes of bright light and the fresh air filled the scent of backyard plants.

Xu Qiansu sat on the fence by the verandah, holding a flute and casually blowing a few notes first.

Ma Li stood aside, crossed her arms, and said bluntly with a pretty face with a bit of seriousness:

"If you want to learn, you must learn the best...... If you're just learning with a half-mentality like wanting to please Gardelia, then give up as soon as possible. ”

"It's because I want to blow it to her, so I have to learn more seriously than anyone else." Xu Qiansu replied.

Ma Li frowned and lowered her arms, "I won't teach." ”

“…… Miss Marley still cares about that? Xu Qiansu blinked his eyes and asked with a smile in his eyes.

"I'm not a robot, I'm not cold-blooded, so why don't I care?" Marley asked rhetorically

"Then I will study seriously so as not to waste Miss Mary's teaching opportunity."

"It's so perfunctory, since you came back from Xicui, you don't even have the ability to speak to please people?"

Hearing this, Xu Qiansu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Miss Ma Li's hair is like the ink that has just been developed, black and shiny, soft, long draped behind her, and her eyes are flickering, just like a clear and deep lake......

Ma Li was slightly stunned, then pursed her soft pink lips, didn't say a word, and stared directly at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu continued slowly, "...... The voice is also transparent and beautiful, and every time I hear it, I can't help but feel light......"

“…… The mind is also smart, as if he can do anything, as if he knows everything...... When I first returned to the modern era, you could help me find Zoroa with subtle clues, or you could sew a little lily doll for me like a prophet......"

“…… You've been doing these things for me without asking for anything, and I've always been grateful from the bottom of my heart for that, and I ...... with joy."

In the latter words, Xu Qiansu didn't say any more, he praised it very bluntly, it was no different from confession, but the meaning was very simple and subtle...... What he meant was that he was deliberately keeping a certain distance, in case he couldn't hold his hand in front of Marie and did something wrong to be sorry for Gadelia.

It was impossible for Ma Li not to understand Xu Qiansu's vague meaning, she was silent for a moment, but suddenly asked, "Since you left Binhai City, you have never been happy for a day?" ”

"Who is an adult who will be happy all day?" Xu Qiansu replied with a rhetorical question.

Boom————

There was a sudden muffled sound in the sky, and countless raindrops fell like pearls with broken threads.

Spring.

The somewhat chilly wind stirred the raindrops and made them fall diagonally into the verandah.

There was a little moist touch on the side of his face, Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, and then he subconsciously stood up and came to Ma Li's side...... He stood on the outside of the verandah, and Ma Li stood on the inside, with Xu Qiansu's height and position at the moment, he could just block the raindrops for Ma Li.

This is purely instinctive reaction, the two have traveled for so long, and sometimes it suddenly rains, Xu Qiansu will do it.

Ma Li gently raised her little face, Xu Qiansu's sudden approach made her apricot eyes squint slightly, and some good natural smell reached the tip of Ma Li's nose.

After a while, she said, "So do I." ”

"What?"

"Not a day is happy."

“…… I'm sorry. Xu Qiansu sincerely apologized.

The spider plant overhead was blown by the wind and crackled by the raindrops.

Ma Li no longer looked at Xu Qiansu, she turned her head to look at the entrance of the verandah, put her hands down, turned her back behind her back, and asked, "Why did you choose Cordelia in the first place?" ”

Although Xu Qiansu briefly explained to Ma Li, the detailed reasons were ...... Xu Qiansu didn't say it, and Ma Li didn't ask.

Why should you choose Gardelia...... Of course, Xu Qiansu can ignore everything that Gadelia has done to him like a nobody, and continue to do his own thing as usual.

After all, he had lost even his memory, and he had no idea what Cordelia had done to him.

He could have ignored Gardelia for the time being, and waited for his memories to come back.

But Xu Qiansu couldn't have chosen that way...... Whether it's painful or unhappy now, Xu Qiansu won't regret it.

So he replied, "I lost part of my memory......"

Ma Li was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu, her light green, clear and beautiful eyes with a little stunned.

Xu Qiansu lost his memory, even Ma Li didn't know at all......

As he spoke, Xu Qiansu took out the Pokémon research notes he carried with him from his arms and spread them out, sandwiching a neatly folded page of paper inside.

Xu Qiansu pulled it out of his notebook, then handed it to Ma Li, and said calmly: "This is the 'clue' I found, and every time I get information from it, I feel that time skips...... Sometimes it's a minute, sometimes it's just a dozen seconds...... That must be a symptom of my memory being erased. ”

Ma Li lowered her eyes and looked at the paper in Xu Qiansu's hand, her hands still behind her back.

After a moment, she reached out her little hand and took it, stretching her fingers over the paper and opening it.

Xu Qiansu stood aside and did not speak.

Marley read it slowly, word by word, pondering every word on it...... This is the content of the book "Washing Cui on the Left, Sinnoh on the Right", Ma Li knows it, but she still reads it very slowly.

The raindrops slapped on the pillars of the verandah and the fruit plants in the backyard with a crisp and soft sound.

I don't know how long it took for Ma Li to fold it back and return it to Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu took the paper, did not look through it, but sandwiched it in the research notebook and asked, "Can Miss Ma Li guess the reason for my loss of memory?" ”

Marley didn't answer, she crossed her arms, her small hands grabbed the sleeves of her shirt, bringing out a few folds, and the breeze mixed with the rain slightly stirred the bangs on her forehead.

She raised her little face, looked at Xu Qiansu, and looked at him, "You have lost your memory, but you can still find this kind of clue?" ”

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly.

"You obviously don't have any memory, but you still want to choose Gardelia?"

Xu Qiansu bowed his head slightly, "Even if I don't have a memory, I know what I should do." ”

Ma Li didn't ask any more questions, she knew and understood the responsibility that Xu Qiansu carried...... That responsibility is heavier than the Heavenly Crown Mountain in the Sinnoh region, and far wider than the boundless sky.

Xu Qiansu has no memory, he shouldn't have borne this kind of responsibility, no one will blame him, no one will blame him...... But he still chose to carry it without knowing anything, remembering nothing.

The sound of a slightly rapid heartbeat ran down the blood and reached Marly's ears.

Knock knock————

She stretched out her little hand and caressed her heart.

Marie ...... I felt a little brisk joy and pride that I could like Xu Qiansu.

But then came an inexplicable emotion that spread and diverged in my heart.

Why Cordelia?

But at the moment, this kind of thing is fine.

Mary looked up at the verandah.

The branches and leaves of the melon and fruit plants were gently swayed by the raindrops, and the whole world was shrouded in rain...... It has an almost transparent aesthetic.

Ma Li retracted her gaze and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu, her small, soft pink lips confided, "Whether it's responsibility or memory, it doesn't matter what kind of thing happens...... Eventually, you will abandon Gardelia and choose me. ”

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, did not speak, just turned his head to look at the rain curtain outside the verandah...... The left half of his shoulder was already wet.

Xu Qiansu turned his head, looked at Ma Li, and smiled gently, "Go back to the room to practice the flute." ”

"Hmmm......"

The two said no more, and walked side by side through the verandah.

This sudden spring rain still keeps falling.

Afternoon.

Instead of going out with the two, the Pokémon got together, chatting and playing.

They are simple-minded, and no one is serious and old-fashioned, so it is easy for them to play together.

Lilia is like a trainer for these Pokémon, and like a fledgling nanny, taking care of this and that, and she is very busy.

When Xu Qiansu and Ma Li came back, she was greatly relieved......

I heard that the job of the breeding house is to take care of the newborn Pokémon and help them through the growth period, and the work must be similar to mine, so I don't know how hard those people must be...... Lilia couldn't help but think.

"Shanaina~" Seeing Xu Qiansu, Shanaiduo directly left a group of friends, and then trotted to Xu Qiansu, stretched out his hand to caress his side face, and turned his head sideways.

But seeing that one side of Shanaiduo's hair was tied up with a hairpin, her temperament was inexplicably a bit classical, just like the aristocratic girls who often appeared in ancient paintings, which really complemented Shanaiduo's temperament.

"Very cute." Xu Qiansu praised.

Shanaiduo covered her pretty face with her little hand, smiled coquettishly, and then reached out to remove the hair clip, combed her hair with her fingers a few times, and then clamped it again...... It seems that she is very satisfied with her new hairstyle, or maybe she is satisfied after Xu Qiansu praises her.

"Lilia helped you comb it?" Xu Qiansu asked.

Shanaido nodded.

"Because Shanaido is cute...... When I was younger, I used to dress up my family's Pokémon. Lilia stretched out her fingers, gently pinching the hair on her forehead, and whispered a little shyly.

Lilia didn't have a phobia of Pokémon from the start...... Her Pokémon phobia was caused by an accident, and before that, her family naturally lived with a lot of Pokémon of all kinds.

Xu Qiansu took out her mobile phone, glanced at the time, and then said, "Calculate the time, Sonya is almost here, it's raining outside, she probably didn't bring an umbrella...... I'm going to pick her up. ”

Sonia came to Caolu Town for the Six Tails, and Xu Qiansu, as a friend, couldn't just let her come over in the rain like that...... Marley and Lilia both knew, so they didn't ask much.

Xu Qiansu simply prepared some things, immediately took two umbrellas, and left the Pokémon with Shanaiduo...... It's raining outside, and he's just going to 'pick up', so he doesn't have to take all the Pokémon with him.

"Hmm~" Zoroa lay on the sofa and yawned lazily, and then a dark shadow appeared in front of him.

"Huh?" Zoroa looked up...... It's Marley.

Marie sat beside Zoroa, elbowing one knee to the side, tilting her face to look at Zoroa, "I have something to ask you." ”

"Huh?" Zoroa tilted his little head and blinked his big golden eyes again, feeling that this female human was a little scary, not at all as gentle as Su Su and Kaede.

Is Marley gentle?

Gentle, of course.

She was the one who helped Xu Qiansu find Zoroa, she stayed up late to work on the lily root doll, and she was the one who stood outside the Pokémon Center at night and waited for Xu Qiansu...... But she was only gentle in front of Xu Qiansu, so she naturally couldn't care too much about what Zoroya thought of herself.

She bluntly asked, "Do you remember that book you wrote?" ”

Zoroa tilted his little head again, and after a while he suddenly nodded in realization...... The book was born purely out of the search for Xu Qiansu, and he hadn't taken it to heart since Zoroa found Xu Qiansu in Woodpole Town.

Seeing this, Ma Li directly reached out and grabbed the back of Zoroya's neck, then put her on her lap, lowered her eyes and asked, "What is inside, have you seen?" ”

Zoroya was a little afraid of Marley and felt that she was a little fierce, but Marly's technique was actually very gentle, and it was very comfortable to touch her body, and this contradictory feeling made Zoroa's little head a little unable to turn...... But when she heard Marly's question, she nodded slightly.

Of course, I have experienced it...... Even if she hasn't experienced it, she has heard of it, otherwise how could Zhulan be so interested in her?

Zoroa is already a living fossil, and if there is any historical question, it is right to ask her, and she may not know the specific details, but the general direction is always correct.

"Then let me ask you a few things...... "Marley reached out and stroked Zoroa's back, and said with a straight face.

"Huh?" Zoroa looked up at her curiously.

Marry leaned down and whispered something in her ear, the heat from her lips made Zoroya's big furry ears tremble a few times, and then Zoroa lowered her eyes, and there was a bit of thought in her eyes.

After a moment, Zoroa raised his little face in confusion.

How did she know how to restore Susu's memory? But it turns out that Su Su was deleted by the blonde bad woman?

She said, "Uh-huh, yes-hmm-yes (since it was the blonde-haired bad woman who did it, then looking for her will definitely make Su Su regain her memory)"

Although Marie couldn't understand what Zoroa was saying, she could tell that Zoroa didn't know either...... That's true, Zoroa didn't live for a thousand years, she just slept for a thousand years......

Marley's fingers tapped her chin, her brow furrowed.

Perhaps this kind of thing can really only be solved by Gadelia herself......

Xu Qiansu's loss of memory is actually beneficial to Ma Li...... After all, Xu Qiansu's responsibility at this moment stems from his own speculation.

If he had regained his memory, he would have been even more determined.

But Marley always cares about Xu Qiansu...... Cares a lot.

Xu Qiansu will definitely find a way to retrieve his memories in the future...... Namari was willing to help him.

"This spring rain...... It seems to be going to be a long time ......" Lily Ai didn't know what Marly was worried about, seeing that her eyebrows were a little frowning, and she thought it had something to do with the weather, so she took her phone and checked it, and said softly.

"Huh?" Marie tilted her head slightly to look at Lilia, not expecting her to speak suddenly.

"The last spring rain......," Lilia said, glancing at her phone again, "it will last for about ten days, and when this rain passes, it should be early summer." ”

Ma Li retracted her gaze, turned to look at the rain curtain outside the window, and couldn't help but think in her heart, where is Xu Qiansu now?

As soon as this thought in her heart came to her, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

How long have we been apart?

Not even five minutes.
