Pokémon: Master System.

"Am I a lover or a friend?"

…………

"Maybe it's like they say."

"Love only makes people stupid."

"He was too naive and delusional in his love."

…………

Xia Yu had just sent a voice message, and only a dozen seconds later, Wu Yaozu sent a message.

"Stop singing, Brother Yu, just kill me."

"Don't cry, you still have a week. You'll definitely win Zhongqing over within two weeks."

…………

Xia Yu's words undoubtedly stabbed Wu Yaozu in the heart again.

This time, Wu Yaozu took several minutes to send a message.

"Brother Yu, I have something serious to tell you, I'm not joking."

“Go ahead and ask,” Xia Yu said.

Wu Yaozu took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone: "Uh, Brother Yu, I'm just asking on behalf of a friend of mine, you know..."

"If, and I mean if, the girl you like the most starts dating someone else."

"What...would you think?"

"what would you do?"

"Ah, of course that person isn't me, Brother Yu, don't misunderstand."

"I'm asking on behalf of a friend."

"Waaah...waaah...I...I'll ask for my...friend. Waaah."

…………

There's no one else here. Tell me honestly, is the friend you're talking about really yourself?

This time, Xia Yu's message went unanswered for a long time, like a stone sinking into the sea. After waiting for a while, Xia Yu sighed; Wu Yaozu was truly pitiful.

Next time, let's not use Wu Yaozu's single status as a bet.

Ugh.

Xia Yu sighed, then began to unwrap the gifts. He first opened the birthday gift from Teacher Long, a small, carefully wrapped box.

After eagerly tearing open the packaging, a beautiful box appeared. Xia Yu gently opened it and found a long, fang-shaped object inside, along with a card.

【Dragon Fang】(S-rank): When equipped, it greatly increases the power of Dragon-type moves, increasing the power of Dragon-type moves by 50%.

Xia Yu stared at the Dragon Fang in surprise, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. If it were an A-grade Dragon Fang, Xia Yu might not be so surprised, but S-grade items are extremely rare and hard to come by.

If this were given to Noivern or Dragapult, the power of Dragon-type moves would reach terrifying levels, especially since Xia Yu also has the Dragon Z item.

Of course, because this Dragon Fang was so precious, Xia Yu felt that he couldn't accept it. He needed the Dragon Fang, and the Dragon-type trainer's teacher would definitely need it too.

Xia Yu frowned and shifted her gaze to the card in the box, which was covered with densely packed, delicate handwriting.

"My dear Xiaoyu, this is a birthday present I prepared for you."

"I know you're sure you'll ask where I got the Dragon Fang. It was a gift I received during my three years working in the Dragon Realm, a chance to go to the treasure vault and choose treasures. I think you'll like it."

"Actually, I don't want to celebrate your birthday because it constantly reminds me of the age gap between us."

"But what can I do now that I like you and have made my choice?"

"By the way, this also happens to be our 100th day of dating. You must have forgotten."

"I originally thought I would never care about these things, but once I actually fell in love and thought about you every day, I started to remember the time very clearly."

"You must be getting impatient after writing so many words."

"If I wrote any more, you would definitely skip around while reading."

"Finally, happy birthday! I hope you can become the greatest Dragon-type Gym Leader, Dragon-type Elite Four member, Dragon-type Champion, and Dragon-type Master."

"By the way, do you remember what you promised me in Qianshan last time?"

"Come with me to Qianshan again this winter, we must climb to the top!"

The final signature was "Long Yanning".

…………

How can a woman with deep feelings bear to shed tears? And how hard it is to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman?

After reading the entire letter, Xia Yu sat on the sofa, his feelings complicated and unable to calm down for a long time. If he had eyes, he would like to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

I deserve to die.

Originally, only Wu Yaozu was sad tonight, but now, there's another sad person in Heilong City.

Just as Xia Yu was deep in thought, the Charizard, who had witnessed everything, silently opened a pack of cigarettes on the bedside table and offered him a cigarette with its claws.

At the same time, it brought its tail over to light Xia Yu's cigarette.

Charizard was secretly pleased, and a slight smile appeared on its lips.

I, Longlong, can take my master soaring through the sky, and I can also bow my head to light his cigarette.

They always provide care for their owners at crucial moments.

I can bend and stretch, so who can shake my position? I, Longlong, will surely be the master's favorite in the future. What use are Duolongqi and Lizard King? Fighting and killing are useless. Being the master's darling is what matters.

"Thank you..." Xia Yu said thank you after lighting the cigarette, then took a deep drag and exhaled the smoky smoke.

After a few breaths, Xia Yu realized something was wrong and abruptly turned to look at the Charizard, his face full of astonishment: "You lit my cigarette?"

Charizard nodded, then sighed, reached out and patted Xia Yu's shoulder, as if to comfort him.

"Smoking is harmful to your health. Don't light my cigarette next time. I want to live to be a hundred."

Chapter 398 Returning to Heilong City

After smoking a cigarette, Xia Yu sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time, his mind blank and his thoughts in disarray.

He could feel Long Yanning's love, and it was precisely because of this love that he felt guilty and began to examine his relationship with Xiao Wanyu.

Xia Yu fell into deep thought until the doorbell rang, pulling him back to reality.

"Who?"

Xia Yu frowned and asked, while immediately recalling his Pokémon. He went to the door and looked out through the peephole. He saw a hotel waiter pushing a food cart.

"Hello, this is your takeout order."

"Takeout?" Xia Yu looked at the food cart and noticed a small cake on it.

Someone ordered a cake for you.

"oh oh."

Xia Yu was a little curious. Her birthday had already passed, so who would order a cake for her?

As soon as Xia Yu opened the door and signed for the cake, Xiao Wanyu called.

Looking at the caller ID on her phone screen, Xia Yu sighed softly to herself before answering the call.

"Hello," Xia Yu said.

"Did you receive the cake?" Xiao Wanyu's voice came through, her tone as charming as ever.

However, given her lifestyle, it's rare for her to be still awake at this hour. Xiao Wanyu's voice was gentle: "It already shows that you've signed for the package."

"You bought this for me?" Xia Yu asked in surprise. But after thinking about it, she understood.

His fake identity was forged with Xiao Wanyu's help, and only he knew his whereabouts.

"Hmm. Although you told me you don't like cakes and frosting, you still need to eat some on your birthday, so I bought you one." Xiao Wanyu said with a laugh on the other end of the phone, "But it's a bit late now."

It was well past midnight, and Xia Yu's birthday had already passed.

"I was going to order it for you earlier, but you'll definitely be with your girlfriend this afternoon, so I didn't want to bother you," Xiao Wanyu said understandingly, thoughtfully and considerately.

"How was it? Did you have fun today?" Xiao Wanyu continued on the other end of the phone. "Your gift is in Shanghai. Come pick it up when you're free."

"Today was alright," Xia Yu replied softly, not in high spirits. "I'll come find you after I finish my mission here."

"Okay. It's so late already. Now that you've received the cake, I'll go to sleep. Goodnight. Birthday cake is a must for birthdays, Xia Yu, happy birthday!" Xiao

"Good night," Xia Yu said softly.

"Good night."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu looked at the small cake on the table, about the size of a palm, with a complicated expression.

He sighed and silently picked up the cake to eat.
