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

"Yaoyao, I have something to tell you. I don't think I can hide it from you like this."

"You slept with Mi Yu?"

"!!!"

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Yi was choked by his saliva and started coughing violently. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and his face turned red.

He patted his chest in panic, and finally came to his senses. He stared at the smiling Ruan Yaoyao on the phone screen, his eyes full of shock and confusion, as if he was looking at a complete stranger.

"You, you know?"

His voice trembled slightly, and even he himself could not believe that the matter would be revealed in this way.

"I guessed it, otherwise I can't think of anything that could make you look so sad."

Ruan Yaoyao's tone was as relaxed as if she was talking about the weather, but these words made Lin Yi feel even more depressed.

He never thought that Mi Yu would be so bold as to do such a thing. He also never thought that Ruan Yaoyao knew everything just by guessing.

Could it be that I have always been too self-righteous, thinking that I knew everything about them, but in fact I knew nothing?

This thought was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

"Hold..." Lin Yi just opened his mouth but was interrupted by Ruan Yaoyao.

"Forget about the apology. The question is what do you think?"

There was an unquestionable determination in Ruan Yaoyao's voice, and her eyes were fixed on the screen, as if she wanted to see through Lin Yi's heart.

"Aren't you angry?"

Lin Yi's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, with a hint of cautious tentativeness.

"Angry, I'm so angry, I want to fly over and beat you to death right now."

Ruan Yaoyao clenched her fists as she spoke. Her exaggerated movements made it hard to tell whether she was joking or not.

But the next second, she put down her fist and her expression softened.

"Before that night, Mi Yu and I talked on the phone and hinted at me. I understood the hint and acquiesced to her."

Ruan Yaoyao said slowly, with a barely perceptible hint of helplessness in her voice.

"why?"

Lin Yi's voice was full of doubts. He really couldn't understand why Ruan Yaoyao made such a decision.

"I don't know. Maybe it's sympathy."

Ruan Yaoyao had a complicated smile on her face, a smile that contained both bitterness and relief.

"If I hadn't met you, Lin Yi, if Mi Yu hadn't run into you, what would have happened to us? I don't dare to think about it.

Put yourself in your shoes. If I were to leave you, I wouldn’t be able to survive.

Likewise, Miyu can’t do without you.”

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, as if she was lost in memories of the past, or worried about the future.

"..."

Lin Yi was silent. He didn't know how to respond.

"Don't take it to heart."

Ruan Yaoyao comforted softly.

"Logically, I should be the one comforting you, why are you comforting me?" Lin Yi said with a wry smile, feeling helpless.

"Who knows~"

Ruan Yaoyao smiled mischievously, and that smile dispelled the gloom in Lin Yi's heart a little.

But the more Lin Yi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment came over him.

"No! Are you plotting against me? Did you guess that Mi Yu would do this and acquiesce to it?"

His voice rose a few notches, with a hint of disbelief.

"hey-hey……"

Ruan Yaoyao showed a sly smile, like a little fox who had stolen some fish.

"I never thought that I could outsmart Lin Yi."

Her laughter was clear and pleasant, as if everything that had just happened was just a lighthearted joke.

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, staring at Ruan Yaoyao's triumphant look on the screen, feeling helpless and at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He never imagined that his girlfriend, whom he always regarded as simple and innocent, would plot against him so thoroughly in this matter.

"You really impressed me."

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, but there was no trace of blame in his tone, but more of doting.

He leaned back in his chair, thinking back to every moment he had spent with Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu. The guilt in his heart was gradually replaced by a wonderful sense of relief.

"So how are you going to place the rice bath?"

Ruan Yaoyao put away her smile and asked seriously, her eyes full of concern.

Although she condoned Mi Yu's behavior, it did not mean that she had no grudges against Mi Yu. It was just that in the face of the desire for exclusivity, she chose a broader mind.

Lin Yi fell into deep thought. He knew that this was a question that could not be avoided.

He was not unaware of Mi Yu's deep affection, but he had always tried to maintain a balance in his emotional world, and he did not expect to end up in such a complicated situation.

"You are all my wings."

Ruan Yaoyao: "???"

"Ahem, what I mean is that I will be responsible for her."

Lin Yi said slowly, his tone firm and sincere,

"She has given so much to me, I can't let her down."

Ruan Yaoyao nodded gently, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

"I knew you would say that. In fact, I also hope that we can get along well. After all, we both love you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi looked at the night sky. The stars were twinkling, as if telling of his inner entanglement and struggle.

He knew that from this moment on, his life would change dramatically.

Lin Yi returned to the camp with brisk but somewhat anxious steps, and saw Mi Yu packing his things with difficulty from a distance.

Her movements were a little slow, and every time she raised her hand and bent down, she seemed to feel a hint of barely perceptible pain. The morning sun shone on her, outlining her slightly thin figure.

"Rice bath."

Lin Yi called softly, with a hint of tenderness in his voice.

"Let's talk."

Mi Yu's movements suddenly stopped, and the clothes he was sorting in his hands almost slipped.

She paused, as if she understood the importance of the upcoming conversation, and nodded slightly, her hair swaying gently with the movement, and a hint of nervousness and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

The two sat opposite each other, and the air around them seemed to freeze in an instant. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The breeze blew gently, stirring the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound, which made the silence seem even more depressing.

"sorry."

Mi Yu was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling slightly, "I know I did something very selfish, I shouldn't..."

She lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't dare to look directly into Lin Yi's eyes. Her hands nervously tugged at the corners of her clothes, and her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Lin Yi gently reached out and held her hand. His hand was broad and warm, conveying a reassuring strength.

"Don't say sorry, this is not your fault alone. I am also responsible. I should have realized your feelings earlier."

"Well... just like I said before, just treat it as a dream. A dream that I imagined. Now the day is about to dawn, it's time to wake up from the dream, and I will..."

Mi Yu's voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of sob.

Lin Yi interrupted Mi Yu again. He leaned forward slightly and held her in his arms.

Mi Yu's body stiffened slightly, then slowly relaxed. She raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and expectation, with crystal tears hanging on her eyelashes, sparkling in the sunlight.

She was afraid of losing Lin Yi because of her impulsiveness, and even more afraid of destroying their originally beautiful relationship. This fear was like a haze, always hanging over her heart.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly. He looked into Mi Yu's eyes seriously, his eyes full of affection and determination.

"Yaoyao and I will take good care of you."

This sentence was spoken very slowly, and each word seemed to come from the deepest part of the heart.

Mi Yu was stunned. She had already prepared herself mentally for Lin Yi to part ways with her, and she had even thought about the possibility of being hated by Lin Yi in this life.

At this moment, hearing Lin Yi's words, tears welled up in her eyes. The tears rolled around in her eye sockets, and soon burst out and slid down her cheeks.

She nodded vigorously, as if she wanted to imprint this feeling of being touched and at ease deep in her heart. The uneasiness and fear in her heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by full of emotion, a warm feeling of being accepted and cherished, like a beam of light, illuminating her originally uneasy heart.
