The Alola region has crisp nights, with relatively few high-rise buildings between cities, a huge area of land in the wilderness, a lack of light pollution, and a brilliant night sky with a glimmer of light from the Milky Way.

But the ocean is dark and dark, but from time to time tens of thousands of lanternfish pass by the sea, and they look crystal bright again.

On the edge of the four islands, there is an artificial island with a very large area and a sense of technology...... Aether Paradise, which is the base of the Aether Foundation.

Dressed in a slightly tight-fitting white uniform, Lusa Mi hurried towards the airport above the artificial island, her hip-length hair swaying behind her.

A mature woman with an extremely elegant figure and short brown hair was holding a document in her arms, and followed Lusa Minay quickly, looking surprised, "Why do you want to go back today?" ”

"Lilia just sent a text message, she will take Xu Qiansu home tonight." Lusa Minay replied briefly, walking non-stop, and from time to time a uniformed staff member stopped along the way and bowed to her, and Lusa Minay nodded in return.

Bi Ke looked stunned and recalled, "Xu Qiansu? Oh ~ he...... He finally figured it out and wanted to come here as your experimental material? ”

Bico and Luza Minay have been friends for many years, and they have a good academic record, serving as the branch director of the Aether Foundation, and they have a good relationship with Lusa Mina, so they have no scruples about speaking.

"What experimental material?" Lusa Minay squinted at Bike dissatisfied, although she was about the same age as Aunt Maria, her glance and smile were extremely amorous, completely different from Maria's youthful and lively temperament, "I won't kill him." ”

"That's not the point, it's the point ......," Bico corrected seriously, "Lilia is your daughter, she's finally come back after traveling alone for so long, and you, as a mother, should say, 'Lilia is finally home, I want to go and accompany her'." ”

"It makes no difference." Lusa Minay was slightly unimpressed, "There is no need to care about such details...... That's it, you get on with your work. ”

Bike paused, stared at the back of Lusa Minay stepping on the elevator, couldn't help but stomp her feet, and said loudly: "Children are very sensitive!" It's because it's the details, that's why you have to care! ”

Lutha Minay waved her hand a little perfunctorily to show that she understood, and Bean didn't need to say anything more to press the button and the elevator door closed.

"As a mother, it's really incompetent." Bi Ke let out a long sigh and tightened the document in her arms, and the extremely spectacular placket couldn't help but let out a rustling sound, but what could she interfere with?

Lutha Minay was not like this before, if it weren't for the fact that her husband had no news of her husband because of the Ultimate Strange Cave, and she didn't know whether she would live or die......

Biko shook her head, no longer thinking about the old things.

"Biko." On the way back to the research room, a slightly muffled voice came from my ears.

Bike tilted her head and looked at it lightly, "Zaobo, what are you doing here?" ”

The person in front of him is not as young as Lusa Minay, he is completely in line with the normal growth trajectory of human beings, he is middle-aged, he begins to lose his hair, his hairline is extremely high, he is obsessed with research and disregard for his body, he is lean, hunched at the waist, and he wears a pair of extremely wide orange goggles......

Zaobo, an official of the Aether Foundation, has known Rusa Minay for no less time than Byan, has a wide range of knowledge, and is a researcher like Byn, and is also a cadre of the Aether Foundation...... used to be a cadre, but now he is just an ordinary researcher, and he should still be in the research room at the moment.

Originally, Bico felt that her long-time friend had nothing to find fault with other than being obscene and looking like a bad guy, but when Lilia returned from a winter camp in Galel, she insisted that Lusa Minay kick Zaobo out of the Aether Foundation.

This request is really inexplicable, Lilia only met Zaobo a few times when she was four or five years old, there is no intersection, there is no evidence and no basis, and suddenly Lusa Minay wants Zaobo to get rid of Zaobo, Lusa Minay naturally cannot agree...... Zaobo's level as a researcher is still there, and he is a rare talent, and there are not many scholars who have studied the ultimate strange cave in this life, and Zaobo is one of the best.

And although Lilia can't produce evidence, she can't say why, but her attitude is very resolute, Lusa Minai can't do anything, just if Liliai hates Zaobo, after all, no matter how unfamiliar she is, this is also her own daughter, and her daughter looks like she will hang herself if she doesn't drive Zaobo away, so she can only demote Zaobo to appease her daughter.

Zaobo argues with reason, but the Aether Foundation is Lusa Minay's words, and she is what she says, but as compensation, Lusa Minay also gives Zaobo a large sum of money to comfort him.

Spoil your daughter and spoil her daughter, but you can't slack off on business, although Zaobo has been demoted on the surface, but after so many years in the Aether Foundation, his prestige and favor are still there, and this demotion is too child's play, so he hasn't lost too much power, and Lusa Minay also thinks that it is unreasonable to demote him because Lilia hates him, so she turns a blind eye.

But being demoted is really real, so Bike is a little worried about whether Zaobo will have a grudge against Lilia and want revenge, so his expression is slightly guarded, "Go to work quickly if you have nothing to do, Lusa Mina, as the chairman, works on the front line every day, and those of us who are subordinates have no reason to be slack off than her." ”

Zaobo smiled, "I'm also human, so I have to rest, don't I?" If you don't even have this free time for me, then I'll have to apply for a salary increase. ”

"Then you can apply to the chairman of the board of directors by yourself." Bike didn't want to deal with Zaobo very much, but after so many years of friendship, she was still soft, so she hesitated a little and said: "Lilia has come back, you should know, but you don't have to worry about other little girls as an uncle, Liliai is fifteen or sixteen years old, and it's normal to think you're too obscene and hate you......"

Zaobo's smile stiffened slightly, but Bike continued to count:

"To put it bluntly, you're still too unkempt, people in your forties, at least you should dress yourself up cleanly, and your current demotion is just a superficial effort, it just means, if you want to teach Lilia a lesson or something, see if I don't kill you!"

Zaobo was a little angry, and couldn't help but say, "Am I the kind of narrow-minded person? There is a debtor who is wronged, even if I want to take revenge, I must pay attention to being a famous teacher...... At the very least, we should find out why Lilia is driving me away, isn't it? ”

Bi Ke pondered for a while, and felt that what he said was also reasonable, and if she was suddenly demoted, she would have a grudge against anyone, and she would not give up until she investigated clearly, so she had to warn:

"Investigation is investigation, but don't go too far, if you dare to bully Liliai, if the chairman knows, you will definitely not be pleased, don't look at her and Liliai's estrangement, but no matter how you say it, she is also a biological mother and daughter, she still loves Liliai very much."

With that, Biko twisted her slender waist and swept over Zaobo and walked towards her office.

Zaobo's indignant expression slowly retracted as Bike left.

He didn't lie, even if he wanted to retaliate, he had to pay attention to being famous...... was suddenly demoted, and of course he was disgruntled and secretly pursued it.

Lilia couldn't say why, but she had to drive him away, apparently instigated, Zaobo at first thought that Liliai's eldest brother was instigated, but the time was not right, at the beginning of the year, Liliai's eldest brother was still traveling, and he had never seen Liliai, although it was not completely impossible, but Zaobo preferred to believe that someone instigated it during the winter camping.

But there are so many people camping in winter, how can he know who instigated Lilia, and the matter is put on hold, but now Liliai suddenly left Alola in February, and she has been gone for half a year, and it is certainly not difficult to investigate who she is with during this period......

Xu Qiansu and Ma Li...... Zaobo was even more suspicious of Xu Qiansu, after all, Lilia was fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the age when the spring heart sprouted, and it was too normal to be fascinated by her lover's words.

But why is Xu Qiansu so hostile to him?

Speaking of which, Xu Qiansu is an Interpol, and he also solved Sakaki's ...... in the middle of the year Will the person who can solve Sakaki be a simple product? He must be highly regarded and in a good position in Interpol, so it is normal for him to know some hidden information that no one knows.

Thinking of this, Zaobo's expression slowly became gloomy...... If you want to talk about unknown secrets, he has a lot of ...... Xu Qiansu returned to Alola with Lilia this time, and I am afraid that he did not want to follow the vine...... If that's the case, it's wise to strike first.

But if that's the case, and he, as an Interpol, actually showed hostility to me at the beginning of the year, isn't this just a surprise?

Zaobo couldn't figure it out for a while, but Xu Qiansu was a little careless, and he didn't expect Zaobo to be able to lock on to his head with a little information.

However, even if you want to retaliate, you must pay attention to methods, after all, there is no substantial evidence to prove that all this is led by Xu Qiansu...... Zaobo stood still, muttering for a moment, and only came to his senses when he heard his colleague call his name.

Xu Qiansu didn't know that a warning he gave to Lilia at the beginning of the year had caused a storm...... Even if he knew it, he didn't care, what level of opponents he had fought before? Team Galaxy's Akari, Team Rocket's Sakaki, and what kind of thing is he Zaobo? It's a bit out of the table.

Compared to Zaobo's plan, the predicament in front of him made him even more frightened.

"Xiao Xu, I knew you would definitely come!" Lusa Minai changed into a white dress at home, tied her blonde hair behind her like a wife, and her ponytail hung down in front of her shoulders, so as to show her affinity, she walked up quickly, holding Xu Qiansu's right hand tightly with both hands, looking excited.

She has been waiting for Xu Qiansu in Alola for several months, looking forward to the stars and the moon.

Beings who can travel through time and space in the flesh...... If it can be studied thoroughly, what a contribution it should be to the study of the ultimate alien hole!

Lusa Minay has been studying the Ultimate Cave for more than 20 years, and has already had a demonic obsession with the Ultimate Cave.

His hands were warm and soft, but there were several cold knife-like glances behind him, which made Xu Qiansu's back chill.

Liliai's cheeks were even redder, completely lacking her previous weak appearance, and her hands tightly grabbed Lusa Minay's wrists, pushing her away, "Mom! ”

Lusa Minay cast her eyes on Liliai, and instead stretched out her hands to hug her, burying Liliai's little face in her chest and rubbing, "Liliai~ I haven't seen you for half a year, I'm taller, let's sleep with my mother tonight......"

Xu Qiansu and others watched from behind, Lusa Minai's behavior of treating her as a child made Lilia so ashamed that her heart jumped, and she quickly broke free, "I'm not a child!" And Mom, you can't take Mr. Xu away tomorrow! He's just arrived in Alola, and he should at least be given a few days off. ”

Lutha Minay poked Lilia's forehead dotingly with her index finger, "Don't take him away tomorrow...... And what about tonight? Let him go with his mother tonight, and his mother will take care of him comfortably, and she will send him ...... tomorrow."

"No way!" Lilia gave Xu Qiansu an apologetic look, and then pushed Lusa Minay hard, trembling, so that Xu Qiansu had to look away.

After Lusamine and Lilia disappeared into the hallway, Gadelia floated to Xu Qiansu's side and looked at him sideways, "How does it feel?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm never alone with Aunt Lusa Minay." Xu Qiansu felt that apology was the most appropriate love word at the moment, after all, it was not only Jiadeliya who was dissatisfied.

"You've ever wanted to be alone with her?"

Xu Qiansu turned his gaze to Ma Li for help.

Ma Li ignored him completely, and walked past Xu Qiansu by herself, looking at the furnishings in the room with a little curiosity.

are also aristocratic ladies, no matter how luxurious Liliai's manor is, how luxurious can it be compared to your family? What is there to be curious about the similarities?

Xu Qiansu looked at Dale again, and Dale looked away, as if he hadn't seen it.

But in the end, Miss Marley looked back and glanced at Gardelia, "Did you bring a swimsuit?" ”

Gardelia glanced at Marley and shook her head slightly.

"I'll buy it tomorrow." After saying this, Ma Li went upstairs to find a room to put her luggage.

Miss Mary, I love you!

Xu Qiansu muttered silently in his heart, then turned his head to look at Jiadelia, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Marly...... Offer to invite you to buy swimsuits...... She wants to get along with you? ”

Gadelia stared at Ma Li's back with her hands behind her back, her expression was also a little suspicious, and she was speechless for a while, and then said, "This is competition." ”

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu tilted his head.

Who loves your competition more than anyone...... For your sake, Marley wants to live in harmony with me...... Gardelia didn't say this.

Zhulan walked from behind with a smile, "Okay, although I have a swimsuit, it's okay to buy a few more, let's go together." ”

From there, several girls began to get together again to discuss the style, color, fabric, brand and other things that Xu Qiansu didn't understand.

Xu Qiansu put down the luggage, released the Pokémon again, pondered a little, and thought that it was still early, so he said to Shanaiduo: "The mobile phone store shouldn't be closed yet, let's go buy it now?" ”

Shanaiduo blinked, quickly stood up, and nodded again and again.

It doesn't matter if you buy a phone or not.

But it's important to hang out with Susu.

Xu Qiansu left the rest of the Pokémon in the manor, familiarized himself with the environment, and left the room with Shanaiduo himself.

Leaving the manor, he saw Marley on a park bench built at the entrance of the manor.

She put down her black hair tied into balls, simply hung it behind her shoulders, changed into a dark blue dress, and wore a simple and elegant women's blue shirt on her upper body, and the hem was tucked into the skirt...... Look at the look, she is wandering.

Morubecco sat next to Marry, cramming a bag of elven food.

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, "Miss Ma Li?" ”

Ma Li came back to her senses, her expression returned to her former cold and peaceful, her willow eyebrows raised, and she didn't stand up, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Buy a mobile phone for Shanaiduo...... Going together? Xu Qiansu sent out an invitation.

Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu before standing up according to her skirt, and walked to Xu Qiansu's side, Mo Lu Bei Ke also walked on Ma Li's shoulders with short legs, and beckoned to Xu Qiansu, "Mo Lu Bei~"

Xu Qiansu shook her little hand, and then turned her head to look at Ma Li, "Sitting outside alone...... Is there anything I don't like today? ”

Xu Qiansu's tone was very cautious and slightly nervous...... He likes Marley and wants to be with her forever, so he always reflects on what he has done.

Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu with a smile in her eyes, Xu Qiansu's thoughts, she knew that if it was usual, she would definitely say, "It's too embarrassing to be captured by my cuteness...... But it's human nature, and I'm so cute, so I don't have to worry about your nervousness. ”

But at this moment, she didn't say anything, just showed a shallow smile, "Let's go, stand where you are and talk, I don't know when to go...... The mobile phone store will be closed later. ”

"When it closes, I go to the supermarket, and there are always 24 hours open."

"Just hurry up and go to the mobile phone store, why bother?"

"I want to walk with you more."

Ma Li was stunned for a moment and walked forward.

Xu Qiansu smiled, took Shanaiduo's little hand and quickly followed.
