Pokémon: Master System.

"I didn't mean anything by it... I just wanted to help take care of your Pokémon when you're busy sometimes."

"Your Pokémon is currently at a crucial stage."

After speaking, Long Yanning lowered her head silently, her ears turning red. It was clear that she had mustered up a lot of courage to say those words, and even now her heart was still pounding like a deer.

Hearing Long Yanning's words, Xia Yu was very happy, but he quickly calmed down.

Now there's a problem: although Mr. Long's apartment is quite large, it definitely can't accommodate Xia Yu's entire Pokémon collection.

Moreover, there's Darkrai around. If Long Yan Ning discovers Darkrai's existence, or if Long Fan comes to visit her one day and discovers Darkrai's presence, it wouldn't be good.

Despite these concerns, Xia Yu agreed without hesitation: "Okay! I'll go back and pack, and move in tomorrow!"

This was an invitation from Teacher Long, how could Xia Yu possibly refuse?

"Hmm..." Hearing Xia Yu's words, Long Yan Ning was also very happy, but she was still a little disappointed.

Why is Xia Yu moving in tomorrow instead of today? Is it because she's not charming enough or not interested in him?

Just as Long Yanning was lost in thought, Xia Yu also came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to give Long Yanning a hug: "I have to go back to take care of my Pokémon. I'll move here tomorrow morning, don't worry."

Hearing Xia Yu's comforting words, Long Yan Ning's face turned bright red, like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite.

"Mmm," Long Yan replied softly, her face flushed.

Goodbye, Yan Ning.

"See you."

Chapter 437 Inviting Su Muzi to Dinner

The next day, Xia Yu packed some things and moved to Teacher Long's house early in the morning. Although they lived under the same roof, they had different bedrooms.

Although there was a slight sense of regret, it was still quite good news for Xia Yu.

However, his stay here with Teacher Long is only temporary. After thinking it over, Xia Yu decided to spend a lot of money to buy a house last night!

Previously, Xia Yu had been unable to buy a house due to financial constraints. Now, after making a fortune in the gold gambling game and extorting a large ransom from Champion Maye, he could easily afford to buy a luxury villa.

Now that we're moving out, we naturally need to buy a bigger villa to house our Pokémon.

Of course, he could have just bought the Zishan Villa, but considering that Sylvia and Xiao Yu were there, and that Xiao Wanyu would come over from time to time, he decided to look at another one.

Regarding the matter of buying a house, Xia Yu thought about it and decided to call Xiao Wanyu, since she was familiar with the matter.

As for whether Xiao Wanyu would be angry after learning about this, Xia Yu had also considered it carefully.

Since he has decided to move out of the Zishan Villa, Xiao Wanyu must already know. It's unlikely that he can keep it from her any longer, so he might as well just admit it openly and honestly.

When Xia Yu called and told her that he was moving out, Xiao Wanyu remained calm and offered to help him find a villa that could accommodate his Pokémon.

Hearing Xiao Wanyu's considerate words, Xia Yu also felt a little guilty. Both Xiao Wanyu and Long Yanning were very good to him and always silently supported him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh, realizing he was such a scumbag.

…………

After packing her things, Xia Yu hurriedly went to a high-end restaurant near the school. She had already made an appointment with Su Muzi to treat her and her friends to dinner today.

Having stood Su Muzi up so many times, Xia Yu naturally couldn't stand her up again.

However, before going, Xia Yu, being a good man, still informed Long Yanning and Xiao Wanyu in advance.

Long Yanning was doing well; the two had just gone to a romantic concert yesterday, and their relationship was going well. When she heard that Xia Yu wanted to treat Su Muzi to dinner, Long Yanning just smiled and let it go, even joking with Xia Yu herself.

"Xia Yu, it's obvious that Su Muzi really likes you. Why don't you start dating her?" Long Yanning teased with a smile.

"How could that be? I don't like her." Xia Yu was so frightened by Long Yan Ning's words that he broke out in a cold sweat: "I love you, Yan Ning."

"You said it yourself, so you'd better be careful, you can only eat."

"Teacher Long, I promise I will keep my word," Xia Yu immediately assured him.

…………

Compared to the smooth sailing of Long Yanning's situation, Xia Yu was filled with anxiety after reporting to Xiao Wanyu.

Although he already knew that Su Muzi was not Xiao Wanyu's biological daughter, the relationship between the two was still there.

"Um, Wanyu," Xia Yu said cautiously.

He could have chosen to avoid trouble and not tell Xiao Wanyu, but after careful consideration, Xia Yu decided to tell her anyway, to be an honest person.

If Wanyu finds out about this later, it will be even harder to explain when the truth comes out.

"What is it?" Xiao Wanyu asked.

"I'm treating Su Muzi and her friends to lunch today." Xia Yu was slightly nervous.

“I know.” Xiao Wanyu’s reaction was completely unexpected by Xia Yu: “Mu Zi told me last night.”

"You don't mind?" Xia Yu asked cautiously.

"I do mind," Xiao Wanyu said. "But it's just a meal, which is fine. Yesterday, Mu Zi heard that you were going to invite her to dinner, and she called me for half an hour last night. How could I bear to refuse? But Xia Yu, you absolutely cannot have any ulterior motives."

"Don't worry, I promise," Xia Yu quickly replied.

"Remember what you said." Although Xiao Wanyu said this with a smile, the warning in her tone sent a chill down Xia Yu's spine: "Don't disappoint me."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant ahead of time, waiting for Su Muzi and her group to arrive.

Because today's meal wasn't just for Su Muzi, but also for her friends, Xia Yu specially chose a nice restaurant to support Su Muzi.

Half an hour later.

A group of smartly dressed girls got out of a taxi and walked into the restaurant.

"Xia Yu!" Su Muzi walked into the private room, a sweet smile appearing on her face as she looked at Xia Yu. She went directly to Xia Yu's seat and placed her bag on it.

"Please sit down too," Su Muzi said, inviting her friends to sit down after putting down her bag.

There were eight girls and three boys who came to eat today. They were all Su Muzi's roommates and classmates from the next dormitory.

The three boys are family members. Although it has only been less than a week since the start of the semester, three of the girls have already started dating.

Of the three boys, Xia Yu recognized one of them; he was probably a classmate. The other two boys were a third-year student and a student from another university.

"Sit down, everyone, please sit down, don't be shy." Xia Yu also invited everyone to sit down, and at the same time nodded to the waiter next to him, indicating that the dishes could be served.

"Xia Yu, you've gone to all this trouble." As soon as Xia Yu sat down, a tall girl with fluent Northeastern accent smiled and said, "Today we're able to enjoy a big meal thanks to Su Muzi."

The girl who spoke was probably from Northeast China, speaking with a strong Northeastern accent, which sounded quite bold.

"Eat as much as you want, don't hold back today. I've been meaning to invite you to dinner for a while, but I haven't had the time. Now that I'm back, I'm making arrangements right away," Xia Yu said with a smile.

Knowing that Xia Yu didn't recognize anyone, Su Muzi leaned closer to Xia Yu and whispered, "She also has the surname Xia, and her name is Xia Jie."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Xia Jie replied with a smile, "Mu Zi, why are you whispering to each other before we've even eaten?"

"Xia Yu, you're going to be Su Muzi's boyfriend, but that's a long and arduous road ahead. Don't think you can get rid of us with just a beating. You'll have to pass our test first. Let's see how much you can drink today."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm introducing you to Xia Yu." Hearing Xia Jie's teasing, Su Muzi blushed and then introduced Xia Yu generously: "Xia Yu, this is Xia Jie, our eldest roommate, from Northeast China. This is Chen Yanfei, from Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"This is her boyfriend, Huang Helun, also from Suzhou and Hangzhou, studying at the Capital Medical University..."

"This is Lin Hanxue, the third oldest in our dorm."

…………

There was only one person in total. Xia Yu only remembered the general idea and greeted everyone one by one.

"What would you like to drink?" After the introductions, Xia Yu asked everyone present what they would like to drink.

"Baijiu (Chinese liquor)." Xia Jie didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I drink baijiu. Everyone's happy today, so let's all have some. If you can't drink baijiu, drink red wine."

Hearing Xia Jie say this, the other girls didn't want to offend her, so they could only nod.

"How about this, we won't pressure each other to drink, let's just drink as much as we can manage," Xia Yu said with a smile.

“Okay.” Xia Jie knew that some of the girls present couldn’t hold their liquor, so she didn’t force them: “But Xia Yu, you have to drink today.”

"No problem." Xia Yu replied with a smile.

Chapter 438 A Detailed Explanation of the Gym Leader League

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was quite lively, filled with laughter, because everyone was young.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone had unknowingly drunk quite a bit.

"Drink less." Su Muzi, who was standing next to Xia Yu, frowned and reminded her when she saw Xia Yu's face turn red.

Su Muzi had clearly dressed up carefully today, with light blush on her face, wearing a cute long dress, and a cute hair clip in her hair.

She was like the most beautiful princess, breathtakingly beautiful.

Although Su Muzi is not Xiao Wanyu's biological daughter, upon closer inspection, the two still share some similarities in their features.

"Mm." Xia Yu nodded. His alcohol tolerance had increased, and he was actually in good condition. "Don't worry, I won't drink too much."

"Hmm." Su Muzi was still a little worried, so she quickly asked the waiter to bring over a carton of yogurt and handed it to Xia Yu: "Have some yogurt and eat something to fill your stomach."

"Well, thank you."
