Pokémon: Master System.

"I always cram at the last minute, I always cram at the last minute!"

"Stop...stop...You sang very well, don't sing it next time."

"Brother Yu, I was just kidding, just teasing you." Wu Yaozu said with a smile, "I'm still in the learning stage. When I've mastered my skills, I'll definitely impress you."

…………

Xia Yu hurriedly pulled the embarrassed Wu Yaozu away. He really didn't expect that Wu Yaozu would choose to become a rapper because he was troubled by love.

However, Xia Yu actually supported his good friend's choice. After all, young people should do what they want if they can make a living.

Although Wu Yaozu didn't have much of a foundation, his family was wealthy, so it wasn't too late for him to start learning from scratch.

"Are you really planning to become a rapper?" Xia Yu and Wu Yaozu found a place to sit down and started chatting.

“Hmm.” Wu Yaozu nodded, then sighed, looked up at the sky, and his expression became serious: “I want to change myself, start working out, learn to rap, train my Pokémon, and this time I must win! I want to play in the G3, G2, and G1 leagues, the Gym Leader ranking tournament, and become the youngest Gym Leader in the capital! I want to change myself and become the best version of myself.”

Listening to Wu Yaozu's bold words, Xia Yu felt a little emotional. Indeed, a failed unrequited love could make one grow up faster. However, he was also worried that Wu Yaozu's enthusiasm was just a passing fancy, so he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you want to have a passionate love affair? Why have you changed your mind now?"

“Brother Yu, do you know?” Wu Yaozu looked down at Xia Yu sitting in the chair: “I pursued Senior Zhong Qing for two weeks. Half a month ago, I confessed to Senior Zhong Qing. She was very calm, as if she had expected this scene long ago.”

"That's when I found out that she had a boyfriend, but she had never explicitly rejected me."

"I learned a lesson from that time."

"Knights will always protect princesses, but princesses will always marry princes."

"The dragon will never harm the princess, so the prince will always be able to save her."

"I am not her prince, so naturally I cannot win her heart."

"I was wrong when I decided to humbly beg for her response in love."

"Love is never about causing yourself pain, but about bringing yourself happiness. Even if my humility earns her pity, our relationship will still end without a trace."

"Therefore, true love is to become good enough, meet someone who is compatible with you in life and soul, and become the prince in someone else's eyes."

Xia Yu looked up at Wu Yaozu in surprise, her eyes revealing a hint of disbelief.

Is this still the Wu Yaozu I know?

"Auntie, are you serious?"

Wu Yaozu smiled and looked at Xia Yu: "Brother Yu, if you slack off, I will surpass you."

Chapter 427 The Astute Chi Hanqing

Xia Yu and Wu Yaozu talked for a long time.

He realized that this time, Wu Yaozu was serious and genuinely wanted to change himself. It was clear that he really wanted to be a rapper and, more importantly, a rock-themed gym owner.

However, being a gym leader is not easy. The entire capital city has tens of millions of people, but there are only eighteen gym leaders, and only one Rock-type gym leader.

Wu Yaozu wanted to stand out from the crowd, but his ideals were lofty, while reality was cruel.

However, since Wu Yaozu has made his decision, Xia Yu, as his brother, will naturally do his best to help him. If he comes across any Rock-type Pokémon with good potential in the future, he can keep an eye out for them for Wu Yaozu.

…………

After saying goodbye to Wu Yaozu, Xia Yu immediately went to Chi Hanqing's office to report back from leave.

Xia Yu had originally called Chi Hanqing and asked her to cancel her leave directly, so there was no need for her to come in person.

But for some reason, Chi Hanqing was acting very strangely today. She refused to let Xia Yu cancel his leave and insisted that Xia Yu go in person.

Even when Xia Yu presented her doctoral credentials, Chi Hanqing wouldn't listen. Left with no other option, Xia Yu went to Chi Hanqing's office with a resentful look on her face, secretly wondering if Chi Hanqing was on her period and was in such a bad mood.

…………

"Knock knock." Xia Yu gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Chi Hanqing's cold voice came from inside the door, and it was clear that she was not in a good mood.

Xia Yu pushed open the door and stepped into the room, sensing something unusual in the air.

Chi Hanqing raised his head and scrutinized Xia Yu from head to toe with a cold gaze that made Xia Yu feel a little uneasy.

"Close the door." Chi Hanqing's voice was so cold that Xia Yu was a little scared; she was completely different from the person she remembered.

At this moment, Chi Hanqing truly exuded a certain authority, reminding Xia Yu of a strict homeroom teacher, and he instinctively felt a little intimidated.

Wait a minute... what am I afraid of? At school you're my teacher, but in the lab I'm your supervisor?

Thinking of this, Xia Yu closed the door, straightened his back, and strode towards Chi Hanqing: "Little Chi... I'm here to report back from leave."

"Hmm?" Hearing Xia Yu's tone and address, Chi Hanqing's expression turned even colder: "Go and lock the door."

Lock the door?

Xia Yu was startled and then looked at Chi Hanqing's curvaceous figure. Chi Hanqing's figure was also very good, but he quickly put his mind aside.

Her body instinctively took a step back, slightly increasing the distance between herself and Chi Hanqing: "What are you doing? I'm a respectable person. We may be familiar with each other, but I'm not a casual person."

For some reason, Xia Yu instinctively thought of Xiao Wanyu when he said those words. He was a decent person, except when he encountered a succubus like Xiao Wanyu.

Judging from Xia Yu's tone, Chi Hanqing knew that Xia Yu must have misunderstood. She spat inwardly and cursed in her heart, thinking that all men were the same and full of filthy thoughts.

Chi Hanqing was getting angrier and angrier. He deliberately kept a gloomy face, got up without saying a word, walked towards the door, locked the door, and then walked towards Xia Yu.

"Da da da!"

Chi Hanqing, wearing high heels, made a crisp sound with every step she took, which made Xia Yu feel a little uneasy.

"No, Xiao Chi... Teacher Chi, what are you doing?" Xia Yu stepped back, almost touching the back of the sofa, and asked Chi Hanqing with a nervous expression.

"What did I do?" Chi Hanqing sneered as he approached Xia Yu, looking down at him with his arms crossed. "You still have the nerve to ask? Think about what you've done."

???

What did I do? Xia Yu was completely baffled. What law had he broken?

Could it be that his affair with Xiao Wanyu has been leaked? That shouldn't be the case. Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a pang of panic.

He was already feeling guilty, and Chi Hanqing's panic made him even more uneasy: "Teacher Chi, you have to tell me what happened, right? Just give me a quick death."

"Feeling good?" Seeing Xia Yu's flustered and uneasy appearance, Chi Hanqing felt a little better, but still kept a straight face and leaned down to get closer to Xia Yu, who was sitting on the sofa.

Although the two weren't particularly close, Xia Yu could already smell the faint perfume on Chi Hanqing's body. It smelled wonderful, rich and mellow, which made Xia Yu even more nervous. He wanted to back away, but his back was already pressed against the sofa with nowhere to retreat: "Stop, stop... Big sister, what's wrong? Tell me."

Big sister? !

The word "elder sister" immediately broke Chi Hanqing's defenses. She was not yet thirty years old, in the prime of her life, possessing both the youthful shyness of a young girl and the sexy gentleness of a mature woman. How could she have become the "elder sister" in Xia Yu's words!

"Xia Yu!" Chi Hanqing was immediately enraged and glared at Xia Yu: "Who is the eldest sister?!"

Xia Yu realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself: "Sister Chi, Han Qing."

Perhaps because the two were standing too close, coupled with the strong scent of perfume, Xia Yu felt rather uncomfortable. Xia Yu shifted slightly, trying to move to the side and increase the distance between herself and Chi Hanqing, but unexpectedly, her foot accidentally kicked Chi Hanqing's slender high heels.

"Ah~"

Chi Hanqing was also caught off guard by Xia Yu's sudden "slide tackle". She only had time to let out a scream before she fell on top of Xia Yu.

"Ok?"

Xia Yu wanted to reach out and block, but when faced with Chi Hanqing falling towards him, he didn't know where to put his hands. In the end, he could only place them on his sides and gently support Chi Hanqing.

"Teacher Chi, be careful. You would have fallen if I hadn't been there to support you."

"???" Chi Hanqing was stunned by Xia Yu's words, so angry that she couldn't speak: "You..."

The soft touch secretly startled Xia Yu; she couldn't believe that Chi Hanqing, who usually wore a large lab coat or a loose t-shirt, was so well-endowed.

"Teacher Chi, what exactly happened? Tell me," Xia Yu quickly changed the subject and asked.

Chi Hanqing sat back down on the sofa, smoothed her hair, looked at Xia Yu, took a deep breath, and said, "Xia Yu."

"Hmm? You mean..." Xia Yu replied obediently.

Should I call you Xia Yu or Sakaki?

Chi Hanqing's words startled Xia Yu, but he maintained a calm expression, looking completely bewildered: "What? What does Sakamoto have to do with me, Xia Yu? Are you crazy?"

"Hehe." Chi Hanqing's face showed a mocking smile as he looked at Xia Yu: "You told me about the Max Bracers and even showed me the Max Bracers. I watched the video of Giovanni repeatedly, and the bracers he wore on his wrist were exactly the same as your Max Bracers."

"And you're the same height and about the same build."

It has to be said that Chi Hanqing is really smart, able to deduce Xia Yu's identity from such a small detail.

Hearing Chi Hanqing's words, Xia Yu's heart sank. He had said he would hide Sakaki's identity, so how did this little woman Chi Hanqing find out?

However, he would never admit it: "It's just a coincidence. I didn't expect Giovanni to have the same Max Bracers as me. If I had Giovanni's strength, would I still be a college student?"

"You fabricated the identity of Sakaki precisely because your true identity cannot be revealed, right?"

Chapter 428 Figure it out

Inside the locked office.

Under the bright incandescent light, Xia Yu and Chi Hanqing sat facing each other in a solemn atmosphere.
