Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"Ma!"

Suddenly, the luxurious ball hanging on Lin Yi's waist opened spontaneously, a blue light flashed, and Manaphy rushed out like a blue meteor.

As soon as it saw Jirachi in Lin Yi's arms, its originally round little face instantly swelled up, like an angry little puffer fish.

Manaphy rushed over and pushed Jirachi out at once, then hugged Lin Yi's neck tightly and loudly declared his sovereignty:

[Lin Yi is mine, no one is allowed to snatch him away!]

[What? Why do you say that Lin Yi is yours alone!]

Jirachi was not to be outdone. It put the salad on the table, flew up again, and squeezed together with Manaphy. The two little guys refused to give in to each other and quarreled loudly with chirping sounds.

Their little faces turned red, their eyes were wide open, they were arguing with each other, neither of them gave in. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and there were even signs of fighting.

"Stop arguing, you are all my wings!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened, and the smile on his face froze. He rushed forward, grabbed Manaphy and Jirachi with both hands, and forcefully separated them.

Don't underestimate these two little guys. They may look soft and cute, but they actually have extraordinary identities. One is Prince Manaphy who controls the power of the ocean, and the other is Jirachi, the thousand-year-old wishing star who carries the hopes of countless people. The energy contained in their bodies is beyond imagination.

If a fight really breaks out, this small room will not be able to withstand the impact of their power and will probably be razed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The two little guys were still angry after being forcibly pulled apart by Lin Yi.

Manaphy jumped to the ground angrily, its little body shaking with anger. It stretched out its tiny hand, pointed at Jirachi flying in the sky, and was about to "argue" again.

"The soup is ready, let's eat..."

At this tense moment, Mi Yu walked out of the kitchen slowly, holding the steaming pot carefully in both hands.

She walked steadily to the dining table, gently placed the pot on the table, then subconsciously blew on her little hands which were a little red from the burns, making a "hissing" sound from her mouth.

“Why not gloves?”

Seeing this, Lin Yi took Mi Yu's hand and walked quickly into the kitchen. He turned on the faucet, letting the cool water slowly flow over Mi Yu's scalded hands to cool her down, while questioning in a slightly reproachful tone.

"I forgot……"

Mi Yu stuck out his tongue, a slightly playful and somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on his face, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Lin Yi: "..."

For a moment I was speechless.

So Mi Yu is the confused type?

Lin Yi looked at Mi Yu's palm carefully, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of concern.

After a moment, he nodded gently and said in a soothing tone: "It's not a big problem, it will be fine in two days."

"Ah."

Mi Yu's voice was very soft. She just looked at Lin Yi straight, with something complicated and difficult to discern in her eyes.

Lin Yi didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Mi Yu's eyes. He turned back to the dining table, picked up the rice spoon and started to serve rice.

His movements were neither hurried nor slow. After serving the rice, he gently put down the rice spoon and spoke calmly:

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

There wasn't much emotion in his voice, as if he was stating something very ordinary.

"Leave? Won't you stay a couple more days?"

When Mi Yu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his tone carried an obvious desire to retain him.

She took a step forward, as if trying to close the distance between herself and Lin Yi.

Lin Yi put down the bowl in his hand, sighed slightly, and explained patiently:

"No, the Trainer Association of the Magic City is targeting me and has not allowed me to accept missions this month. Also, the Magic City gym is closed for some unknown reason, and I have to go to other gyms to get badges."

As he spoke, he placed the prepared meal on the table and turned to look at Mi Yu. She had a complicated expression on her face and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Lin Yi paused, then added: "And I can't always trouble you."

"If it's Lin Yi, I'd be happy to be bothered by you."

Mi Yu didn't know where he got the courage from, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Lin Yi.

But when her gaze met Lin Yi's eyes, she lowered her head subconsciously as if she was burned.

Her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned slightly white due to nervousness.

"Two weeks ago, Senior Tianyu confessed to me again, but I rejected him. Do you know why I rejected him?"

The sound of Mi Yu was very soft, as if he was afraid of breaking the delicate tranquility in the air.

She raised her head slightly, with a hint of anticipation and some nervousness in her eyes.

"..."

Lin Yi was silent. He had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his heart, so he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on Mi Yu's face, waiting for her to continue.

"Because I already have someone I like."

Mi Yu finally plucked up the courage and raised her head again. This time she did not escape. She forced herself to suppress the urge to run away and looked straight at Lin Yi.

Her eyes were firm and fervent, as if she wanted to convey through them the emotions that had been hidden deep in her heart for so long.

The atmosphere at this moment was a little indescribable, the silence was a little depressing.

Even Jirachi and Manaphy, who were still arguing, seemed to sense the strange atmosphere and suddenly became quiet. They opened their eyes wide and watched everything curiously.

Without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Mi Yu seemed to be afraid of losing his courage and continued, "Yaoyao knows how I feel about you."

"she knows?"

When Lin Yi heard this, he was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask.

His eyes widened slightly, his face full of surprise, obviously the news was beyond his expectations.

Looking at Lin Yi's surprised eyes, Mi Yu smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness in his smile:

"I didn't expect that Lin Yi also had things she didn't know. Yes, she knew. She once took the initiative to expose my feelings for you. Do you know what she said?"

She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, as if she was expecting Lin Yi's guess.

"what?"

Lin Yi's voice unconsciously became softer, and his curiosity was completely aroused at this moment.

"She said it was fair competition and she wouldn't stop me."

Mi Yu said this, looking at his slightly red palms, his thoughts seemed to drift to the day when he talked with Yaoyao.

She didn't know what she looked like now, maybe her face was as red as her palms.

Her cheeks felt slightly hot at the thought.

"Yaoyao told me that because she had exchanged bodies with me for a period of time, she could be said to have truly put herself in my shoes. Perhaps out of pity, she said that as long as Lin Yi was willing, I could attack, but..."

Mi Yu said, with a sad smile on his face, "She said she didn't think she would lose."

Her voice was trembling, with a hint of self-mockery and helplessness.

Lin Yi looked at Mi Yu quietly without saying a word.

There were complex emotions in his eyes, including surprise, emotion, and a hint of helplessness.

Beneath Mi Yu's long eyelashes, she hid the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years. At this moment, these emotions burst out like a flood that broke through a dam.

"Sometimes I wonder, if I were also in Qinghai City, if you and I were childhood sweethearts, would the situation be different?"

Mi Yu's voice was choked with sobs, tears glistening in her eyes. Her voice was soft, but it struck Lin Yi's heart like a heavy hammer.

She bit her lips slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, yet a little afraid to hear the answer.

"Lin Yi, what do you think? Are you willing to give me that chance?"
