Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 208 1 Everything will be clear in the end

"Ruoruo, I'm really hungry. Could you please buy some food for us? We can have a small gathering here at Monkey's place to celebrate the perfect ending!"

Nan Fang said to Bai Ruoruo. Bai Ruoruo whimpered, nodded, and walked out quickly.

The ward fell into silence again.

"Um...Nanzi, don't be like this, I'm actually fine~" Cheng Jia pulled himself together and said with an embarrassed smile.

"What did your leader say? What did the official say about clearing him out?" Nan Fang asked calmly.

"Hey, what can I say? Of course I will continue to be my investigator, but I won't have to travel." Cheng Jia looked a little lonely. Although he always complained, Nan Fang knew that he really loved his job. He was the kind of person who looked careless on the outside but was extremely delicate and sensitive on the inside.

"But I refused." Cheng Jia continued, "Why would a disabled person still hang around in that kind of job? It's better to leave it to the young people."

"I'm telling you, I'm planning on going home to retire. The money I get from the higher-ups is enough for me to live a carefree life. Hahaha. When you and Sister Ruo don't want to drift around anymore, then come find me! I'll support you! Hehehe!"

"Cheng Jia!!!"

"I don't want you to go on like this! Can you please scold me, or even come down and beat me up! Please give me a chance to make it up to you!" Nan Fang could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, and shouted excitedly at Cheng Jia.

"...".

Cheng Jia slowly put away the smile on her face and spoke to Nan Fang in a calm tone.

"Nanzi, you don't have to be like this. Saving you was my voluntary choice. You don't have to feel guilty towards me, really."

"But I..."

"Nan Fang!!!" Cheng Jia interrupted Nan Fang.

"Believe me, I won't do anything stupid." Cheng Jia turned around and continued to look out the window. "I didn't have time to think about it at the time. The only thought in my mind was that I must save you!"

"Do you remember when the four of us first met in the dormitory?"

"At that time, Liu Hewei was very disdainful of me. Although Boss Li didn't look down on me, I knew it was because the gap between him and me was too big, and Boss Li just subconsciously didn't care." Cheng Jia smiled bitterly.

"You, Nan Fang, are the only one who truly regards me as a friend."

"I was just a kid from a mountain valley, I knew nothing. I was very self-abased at the time, I even had to think for a long time before saying anything to you."

"It was you, Nanzi, who led me out of those painful days. When someone looked down on me, you took the lead in arguing with them. When someone provoked and insulted me, you would go up and hit them with a brick! Haha! Do you know how happy I was afterwards? It was you who made me become better and better, even to the point where I embarked on the path of an investigator. It was you who made Liu Hewei and Boss Li truly accept me from the bottom of their hearts!"

Cheng Jia's eyes became moist and he gradually began to choke up.

"So, Nan Zi. You are really worth it!" Cheng Jia turned his head and looked towards Nan Fang with relief.

The wind speed dog seemed to sense its owner's emotions. It came closer and rubbed Cheng Jia's body with its big furry head. Cheng Jia reached out and stroked the wind speed dog.

"By the way, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to meet it."

"Remember that the four of us won the team competition in the medical competition? In the end, you were the one who made the final decision and gave me the Growlithe that was still a Pokémon egg. That gave me my first Pokémon."

"Wang!"

Windspeed barked towards the south, as if thanking the south.

"So, Nanzi, I just have some regrets. I am about to leave this city, and I want to take a good look at this city that has changed my life."

"I've actually already thought about it. When I return home, I'm going to open a ranch and then a breeding house."

"When the time comes, you, Sister Ruo, and Boss Li can all come to my place to play, and your Pokémon can be fostered at my place! To be honest, I haven't returned all my medical knowledge to the teacher yet!"

Cheng Jia's eyes were bright again, full of desire for the future.

"Are you sure? If you break your promise, I swear! I will find you! But a beating is inevitable!" Nan Fang looked at Cheng Jia viciously.

"Hey! Brat, even though I have only one arm now, I haven't been an investigator for many years in vain! You may not be able to beat me!"

"Heh, you can try it."

"Bah! I'll just give it a try!"

"Oh, a middle-aged man who was pitied by the young nurse."

"Fuck you! You have no idea how bad this hospital meal is!"

"Then you should just starve yourself to death."

"I won't! I want to eat! There's a hospital meal hidden under the cabinet. Come on, come and try it with me!"

Cheng Jia and Nan Fang each took a pair of chopsticks and took a bite.

"...".

The two looked up at each other and burst into laughter. Bai Ruoruo, who was leaning against the door with a lunch box in her hand, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, Nanzi, can you sing another song for me? Can you show off your status as the top ten singers on campus?"

"Okay, which one do you want to talk about?"

"The one in Hong Kong dialect, 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies'!"

"Okay, ahem! Listen carefully~"

"Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night

Drifting far away with a cooled heart

Chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish traces in the fog

The sky is vast, you and me

But it will change~"

......

Forgive me for my unruly and indulgent love and freedom in my life

I am also afraid that one day I will fall
