Chapter 16: Hard to Choose (Subscribe Only!) Ask for a commuter pass! )

A short time later, Maria's mother drove to a small three-story building...... At first glance, these are just houses that can be seen everywhere.

However, on the fence in front of the house, the pickpocket cat was napping on it, its crescent-like tail hanging down at its side, occasionally moving.

Sensing the vehicle in front of her, she waved her tail slightly in annoyance before reluctantly raising her eyes to take a look.

"Cha?" The pickpocket's fluffy little face showed a hint of confusion in a human, and then she stood up on both feet like a human, straightened her waist, raised her little face, and hung her two front paws in front of her, so that she could see more clearly.

After seeing the people in the car thoroughly, she lay down again, looking extremely lazy.

Stopping the car, everyone got out of the car, Maria's mother stretched out her hand to touch the pickpocket cat's plush face, but the pickpocket cat avoided it directly, twisted its little face, and moved its tail slightly, pressing the doorbell.

Ding dong.

Crisp doorbell.

"It's boring." Maria's mother withdrew her hand, wondering why the pickpocket cat was still so cold.

After a few moments, a pleasant voice came from the communicator on the fence.

"Who?"

Xu Qiansu glanced at the door...... It was indeed Miss Mary's voice.

She's in Spike Town.

"It's Mom, open the door." Maria's mother chuckled and said.

“…… Shouldn't you go to your brother first? After the communicator, Miss Ma Li was silent for a while, and then said with a little helplessness.

"Why? We haven't seen each other in more than half a year, don't you miss your mother? Maria's mother covered her lips with some surprise.

It seems that Ma Li and Nie Zi do not live together, this is just Ma Li's house.

"Spike Town is like this, you should have a lot to deal with, right?" Ma Li replied in a cold voice and impartially.

"You're all back, and you still need me?" Maria's mother laughed.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with it right now...... Go ahead. ”

Maria's mother turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu and spread her hands slightly, indicating that this was it.

She came all the way, but Ma Li didn't really want to see her, she didn't even go out to greet her, she just spoke through the communicator.

"Don't have a key?" Xiaoyou asked suspiciously.

How can a mother not be able to enter her daughter's house?

"Marie doesn't want to see anyone, so why should I bother her?" Maria's mother shook her head slightly, because she was not interested in Xiaoyou, so she only explained briefly, and then turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu, revealing a trace of pity for help.

Xu Qiansu had no choice but to step forward, stand still in front of the communicator, and said with a slightly complicated mood: "Hmm...... Miss Mary ......"

The communicator did not respond.

An unspeakable silence lingered all around.

Xiao You inexplicably felt that the atmosphere had changed a little, so she couldn't help but glance at Liliai, and then raised her eyebrows lightly in the direction of Xu Qiansu, which meant that "Could it be that the two of them had a big quarrel and were in a cold war?" ’

Lilia shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know very well.

It's just that Maria's mother looked at Xu Qiansu with eyes like watching a drama, showing strong interest, so Xiaoyou suspected that this ridiculously young mother actually just wanted to see this kind of interesting scene.

After a few moments, a shallow sigh could be heard in the communicator.

"Why are you staying with my mother?" Miss Mary's tone was filled with indescribable helplessness.

"I met by chance on the way here." Xu Qiansu replied.

"By chance?" Ma Li's tone was a bit harsh.

Xu Qiansu looked at Maria, she raised her eyebrows, and then smiled: "Actually, I was looking for you on purpose." ”

"That's it." Xu Qiansu thought the same.

"What did you do?" Marly's tone was a little questioning.

"After chatting for a while, Xiao Xu said that if you were as cute and honest as your mother, he would have been with you desperately." Maria's mother, who is at least forty years old, laughs and says she is cute.

Xu Qiansu seemed to be able to see Ma Li's cold gaze, but he hadn't spoken yet, only heard a click, the door opened lightly, and Ma Li had already pushed open the door and looked at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu also looked at her...... Marie's appearance didn't change much from what he remembered.

The pickpocket cat wrapped its hind feet around its ears and yawned loudly, before jumping off the fence lightly, climbing on Marly's shoulders, and staring at Xu Qiansu with those green cat eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.

Maria's mother raised her beautiful eyebrows at Xu Qiansu with a proud look of completing the task, and smiled gracefully for a while before she said, "In the face of me, Ma Li didn't even want to see me, but as soon as you appeared, she immediately opened the door...... That's what you said last night, 'being treated specially'~"

……

Grunt.

Marley held the teapot and made a cup of black tea for everyone and placed it on the small table.

"Thank you." Xiaoyou said politely.

Ma Li didn't answer, just poured another cup of tea, put it in front of Xu Qiansu, and looked at him expressionlessly, meaning, 'Why did Xiaoyou follow you?' ’

Xu Qiansu replied with his eyes: "I want to find an excuse to look at you." ’

Ma Lidai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she glanced at the lily root doll lying on the small table.

She stood on tiptoe, buried her little face in the mouth of the disposable teacup, smelled the black tea, and then stuck out her tongue and licked it.

It's bitter...... She hurriedly removed her little face, only to find that her vision was blurry...... The moisture soaked her face.

She panicked and ran around in a panic.

Xu Qiansu picked her up and wiped her little face with her sleeve.

The lily root doll shook her face vigorously before she broke free and climbed out of Xu Qiansu's arms and began to run around and explore Ma Li's house.

"Because of some accidents, she's not very smart." Xu Qiansu explained simply.

When Ma Li heard this, she didn't speak, just put down the teapot and sat down opposite Xu Qiansu, that is, next to Maria's mother, the mother and daughter sat together, which only made people sigh that this was a pair of sisters with beautiful looks and noble temperament.

"Been to the manor?" Ma Li picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying in a flat tone.

"Not only did he go to the manor, but he also went to your boudoir for a while...... "Maria's mother replied with a smile, then covered her mouth lightly, looked at Xu Qiansu with a look of surprise, and said, "That was the room where Marie was a child, and there were no private clothes...... Xiao Xu, if you really want to, you should go to the second room on the left hand side of the second floor, which is Ma Li's room at the moment. ”

Marie put the teacup down and made a crisp soft sound, looking at Maria, "Mommy." ”

"It's boring." Maria picked up her teacup with a blank look on her face.

Ma Li looked at Xu Qiansu at this time, "Did you see the letter?" ”

Xu Qiansu nodded.

"Are you still here? When did you disrespect my opinion so much? ”

Xiaoyou shrunk her neck, feeling that Ma Li's words were a bit serious...... Is it going to be a quarrel?

"Caught in a book, do you want me to see it?" Xu Qiansu asked.

"Even if you can't see it, you should know what I mean."

"So I came."

"Narcissism." Ma Li snorted coldly, made a conclusion, and then took another sip from the teacup.

Xiaoyou looked at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, thinking if this was a quarrel? It seems to be interesting, but it's not quite like it.

Maria's mother was amused by Xu Qiansu's words, she smiled gracefully, and said, "If I were twenty-five years younger...... Well, at the age of ten, I'm going to like you, Xiao Xu. ”

Nie Zi is twenty-three years old, Miss Mary is fifteen years old, and if Maria's mother got married and had children at the age of sixteen, she should be thirty-nine years old now......

Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu, "What are you calculating?" Even if she is ten years younger, she is more than ten years older than you. ”

"Want to know my sister's age?" Maria's mother propped up her side face, and her light green eyes, which were the same as Miss Marlie's, looked at Xu Qiansu with a smile.

Terrible, devil, mother and daughter are simply in the same vein.

However, Miss Mary only knows Xu Qiansu, and Maria's mother is purely because she has worked hard in the business for many years and is sensitive.

"Sister Maria, it's a little scary, please let me go."

"What's so scary? Didn't Marie always be on your side? Even if I don't want to see you at the moment, as soon as you came, she still opened the door to make tea for you, so my sister is naturally on your side. Maria's mother laughed.

Xu Qiansu thought to himself that this was indeed the case, he was actually ready to eat the closed door, but he never thought that Miss Ma Li would really be willing to see him...... As a result, he began to be even more reluctant to let Marley leave.

He thought that if he continued like this, he would be completely obsessed with Marley sooner or later.

Seeing Xu Qiansu's silence, Maria couldn't help but glance at her daughter, and then continued to smile: "What you said just now is also the same effect for Ma Li...... How is my sister's imitation of this trick? Does it work out for you? ”

Ma Li put the teacup down, and her eyes began to take on a little dissatisfaction.

"I don't talk anymore." Maria's mother bowed her head and conceded defeat to her daughter.

Lilia sat on the sidelines, her expression a little envious...... I thought it would be nice if my mother could be like Maria.

But in a blink of an eye, she shook her head again and again, secretly saying how could she impose her thoughts and expectations on her mother? Mom is mom, she just needs to be herself.

"What do you mean by sister?" Ma Li didn't have any interest in Liliai's thoughts, she looked sideways at Xu Qiansu and asked.

Maria's mother pinched her smooth and fair face, and said with a smile: "The first time Xiao Xu saw me, he thought I was your sister...... Oh, it's not in vain that my mother invests a lot of money in skin maintenance every day...... Ah no, Xiao Xu is a waveguide messenger, since he thinks like that, it must be his mother's natural beauty, and it has nothing to do with skin care products. ”

"That's what my sister said." Xu Qiansu naturally would not refute.

Maria's mother leaned back and forth again, and after a moment of laughter, she leaned over and stood up, "You guys talk, I'm going to take care of Nails...... Your brother yells at his broken guitar every day, and he doesn't care about Spike Town at all, so I'll go over and smash his audio guitar later. ”

After that, she didn't wait for everyone to reply, and pushed the door to leave.

After Maria's mother left, Xiaoyou's slightly stiff body slowly relaxed, don't look at Maria's mother looking very good to get along with, but in fact, she just chatted happily with Xu Qiansu and Marly.

Like Xiaoyou, Liliai, she doesn't even have the interest to say a word, so the pressure on Xiaoyou is very strong.

Xu Qiansu looked at Ma Li, "No matter what, don't let me be alone with her anymore." ”

Ma Li frowned lightly, "Mr. Xu Qiansuxu, who claims to know the best about women's hearts in the world, can't deal with a mother?" ”

She was ridiculing Xu Qiansu for knowing that she didn't want to see anyone at the moment, but she was determined to come over, but she was tricked by Maria, which was purely self-inflicted.

"I think about it at the moment, your mother actually thinks about you in the final analysis, as long as you understand this, then no matter how embarrassed I am in front of her, it is not so unbearable."

What Xu Qiansu means is that even if he is so tricked by Maria, he wants to come to her.

"What's the matter with the lily root doll?" Marley stopped talking about her mother, and she picked up the teacup, only to find it empty.

She stood up, poured another cup for herself, and then glanced at it, Xu Qiansu's tea was still not a sip.

She withdrew her gaze and sat down again.

The Lily Root Doll was scurrying around the room, and the Dream Demon floated behind her and followed her, and she didn't react when she heard Ma Li call her name...... She didn't know her name was Lily Root Doll yet.

Lilia was a little worried that the Lily Root Doll would run into trouble, so she got up and trotted after her.

"I met her by chance in an underground lake, and her premature birth, coupled with the fact that she did not absorb sunlight, caused irreversible damage to her mind." Xu Qiansu said succinctly.

"There's no cure?"

Xu Qiansu shook his head.

Ma Li then glanced at the Nine-Tails who had evolved, and asked again, "Have those powers in her body changed with evolution?" ”

"The data has been given to Dr. Mulan, and she is helping with the research."

"Mewtwo, what are you going to do?" Ma Li was like an interrogator, asking Xu Qiansu's Pokémon about it one by one.

"Let it be, it will leave if it wants, stay if it wants, I will not force it." Xu Qiansu replied softly.

"Shanaiduo's MEGA evolution, you have studied recently?"

Xu Qiansu shook his head.

"You didn't finish these things, so you came to me?"

Xu Qiansu nodded.

Ma Li understood from this that in Xu Qiansu's heart, she had long been an inseparable part.

She was silent for a moment, then stretched out her jade-like index finger and pointed at Xiao You, "Since you accompanied Xiao You to Jianding Town to challenge the evil Dao Pavilion, you have to take responsibility...... You accompany her to my brother. ”

Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his hand, "I'm not a child either, I will do this kind of thing myself...... challenge the gym."

But Ma Li didn't look at her at all, she stared at Xu Qiansu's eyes, and asked, "Do you know about the shouting team?" ”

"They often block the rest of the contestants in order to increase your chances of winning." Xu Qiansu replied.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with these things right now...... You go and help me deal with it. Ma Li was silent for a moment, and then said softly.

Xiaoyou looked at the two of them, thinking to herself what Ma Li meant, could it be that as long as Xu Qiansu helped deal with this matter, the two would be reconciled?

Is that what it means?

Xiaoyou is not sure.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't do things that don't have benefits." ”

"It's a nuisance." Marley's fingers rubbed lightly around the rim of the cup, and then said, "Tonight, I can let you stay and have a meal with me...... I make my own cooking. ”

"You're going to be bothered by your mother." Xu Qiansu guessed.

Ma Li didn't speak, she stood up, picked up a Morubecke-style pillow from the sofa, and then threw it hard, smashing it on Xu Qiansu, "Indecent!" ”

What Marie means is really just eating.

And Xu Qiansu's meaning is that it can't just eat.

"If I were really nasty, you would have lost your chastity a long time ago." Xu Qiansu replied.

"I know my charms." Ma Li hugged her shoulders and looked at Xu Qiansu with great vigilance, "If you don't see you for a few days, you must be difficult to suppress your thoughts, and then your thoughts will turn into impulses, and finally your lewd desires will be mixed with this impulse to overcome your reason." ”

"Narcissism." Xu Qiansu smiled and said.

Ma Li stretched out her finger, pointed at Xu Qiansu, and then waved it lightly, and pointed to the door.

Xu Qiansu shook his head lightly and stood up.

This kind of small favor, even if Ma Li doesn't speak, he will help.

Similarly, when Xu Qiansu encountered any difficulties, Ma Li would not ask too much and reach out to help.

The two didn't need to say much.

Xu Qiansu looked at the stairs...... Lilia is carrying the lily root doll downstairs.

Marie reminded, "Let Lilia stay and help." ”

Lilia thought for a moment and nodded, she held the lily root doll in both hands, held her up in front of her face, and said with a smile: "You can't let her run around...... I stayed to take care of her. ”

Marie ...... Want to talk to Lilia alone?

Xu Qiansu thought of this, so he bowed his head slightly and looked at Xiaoyou, "Let's go." ”

The two stood up, pushed the door open, and left.

Xiaoyou was full of excitement and couldn't wait to challenge Nie Zi and get the seventh badge.

In this way, only Marry and Lilia were left in the room.

Lilia asked curiously, "What do you eat at night?" ”

Ma Li thought for a moment, "Hot pot...... Wash the vegetables first. ”

Of course, Lilia would not refuse, she handed the lily root doll to Koga Ninja Frog standing in the corner of the living room to take care of, and followed Marly to the kitchen herself.

Koga Ninja Frog and Yuri-Root Doll stared at each other with wide eyes, and then Yuri-Root Doll suddenly cried 'Wow'...... I was scared by the Koga ninja frog.

Koga Shinobi Frog trembled and hurriedly put her down.

The lily root doll stopped crying again, she glanced around, "Sunshine ~ Sunshine?" ”

"What sunshine?" Koga Ninja Frog opened the curtains, and a little sunlight fell through the billboard.

But the lily doll ignored the Koga ninja frog, she sniffled, looked around again, and then ran to the potted plant in the corner of the living room on her short legs, climbed up, stepped her little foot into the soil, and hugged the green stalk, as if she wanted to be a bonsai with it.

Koga Ninja Frog doesn't understand, it really doesn't understand the way this lily root doll thinks.

Inside the kitchen.

Ma Li washed the green vegetables, and the water column under the faucet sprinkled on her hands, cool and refreshing.

Lilia carries a kitchen knife and cuts the bean skin into strips.

"Xu Qiansu is with Jiadelia, aren't you angry?" In the sound of rushing water, Ma Li suddenly asked.

"Angry...... Not really, but it's very uncomfortable. Lili's quiet and beautiful face showed a thoughtful look, and then she shook her head slightly, and said, "But I am already very satisfied to be with him." ”

"Do you know what you are doing at the moment, what it means?" Ma Li turned off the faucet, put the washed vegetables in the bowl, took out another handful of wide powder, and asked.

"What do you mean?" Lilia asked cautiously.

"Sharing a man with Gardelia...... Haven't you thought about forcing Xu Qiansu to give up Gadelia? Marley had to point out.

Lilia did not hesitate, and replied quite decisively: "Mr. Xu would not do that kind of thing anyway, if she gives up on Miss Cordelia because of me, then sooner or later, she will give up on me because of you or anyone else." ”

"What would you do if he gave up on you?" Marley asked.

Lilia was silent, paused, and after a while, continued to cut the bean skin, "I...... I don't know, I've never thought about it...... I don't want to think about the impossible, lest I get into the horns of the bull, add trouble to myself, and annoy him. ”

Marley filtered out the water used to wash the wide powder, then turned on the faucet and took a bowl, put it aside, and said, "If I were with Xu Qiansu, I would not allow your existence or Gadelia's existence. ”

Lilia was silent for a while before she said, "Mr. Xu will definitely not leave us." ”

"So I left." Ma Li turned off the hand faucet, wiped her white and tender little hands with a tissue, and said lightly.

Lilia was silent, not knowing what to say.

"But I'm confident that Xu Qiansu will be completely hooked on me...... Wait for that day to come......" Ma Li paused slightly, and then glanced at Lily Ai Meran's side face before she said slowly: "What should you do?" ”

"My life is meaningful because of him...... I still have the life of the moon on my shoulders...... Therefore, if that day really comes, then I might as well end it as soon as possible and go to accompany the melting moon. ”

"Where's your mother?"

"Mom never pays attention to me, and even if I'm gone, it will take a while for her to find out......"

Ma Li understood that Xu Qiansu was so important to Liliai.

For Liliai, Xu Qiansu is already everything to her, and she can't leave no matter what, and she can't be separated no matter what.

As long as she can be with Xu Qiansu, Lilia is willing to do anything.

"Marly, I don't blame you, really." Lilia put the cut bean skin on the plate, turned on the faucet and washed her little hands, "What you think, I can understand, after all, you have to let the person you like be with someone else, no matter what, this is too outrageous." ”

Marie looked down at the pool, and of course she understood.

Xu Qiansu will not give up on Gadelia no matter what, Liliai, she also understands.

If Xu Qiansu would have given up so simply, then he would not have chosen Jiadeliya in the first place.

Therefore, from now on, there are actually only two paths left for Ma Li.

Or, as compromised as Gardelia.

Or, be a lifelong friend with Xu Qiansu.

As for never seeing him again, he looks like a stranger and looks for another lover...... Marie wouldn't do that.

It was because it was difficult to choose that Marley would leave...... As a result, Xu Qiansu, who usually respects her opinions, has now come to her.

After washing, Lilia turned off the faucet, wiped her hands with a tissue, and then took out the meat from the refrigerator to thaw it, and said slowly: "I think we have been lucky." ”

Marie knew why Lilia said that.

"After all, Rongyue doesn't even have a chance to choose."
