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

"Wait a minute? I can't react."

Lin Guochang held the phone, his face full of confusion. He blinked, a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, and he was stunned for a long time before he stammered.

"I was pushed back last night."

Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"By whom?"

"Rice bath."

"Mi Yu, the hearing-impaired person? Not Yaoyao?"

Lin Guochang's voice was full of disbelief. He confirmed it again and again, and kept recalling the appearance of Mi Yu and Yaoyao in his mind, trying to understand this sudden situation.

"Yaoyao knows and agrees."

Lin Guochang's expression was full of mixed emotions. He frowned, glared, and changed for a long time. Finally, he showed a helpless look of "I really can't keep up with the times". He shook his head slightly and muttered:

"Today's young people..."

Then he cleared his throat and said seriously:

"Well, since you've done this, you have to take responsibility like a man. I'll talk to justice."

"One more thing, keep an eye out for the mega stones for Fossil Wyvern, Gardevoir, Tyrannosaurus, or Lucario. I've saved up enough money."

Lin Yi continued.

Lin Guochang frowned, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Mega stones must cost at least tens of millions. Where did you get the money? Are you borrowing my reputation to..."

"Am I that kind of person?"

Lin Yi retorted speechlessly. He felt helpless about his father's speculation. How could he do such a thing?

"Yes."

Lin Guochang answered decisively without any hesitation.

Lin Yi: "..."

"I have almost taken on and completed all the tasks for the Liaoyang City Trainer Association branch. I have enough money."

After leaving this explanation, Lin Yi, with a frown on his face, felt a little tired and hung up the phone directly.

Lin Guochang looked at his phone, the screen had gone dark, and scratched his head.

"Wow!"

A clear and childlike shout suddenly broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom.

An Qing stood beside the crib, her face filled with pampering and tenderness. The hands that had been covering her face suddenly released them happily, with playful and agile movements, and then she quickly put her face in front of the baby.

The baby was lying in the soft crib, giggling at An Qing's sudden "surprise".

The childish laughter was clear and sweet, echoing in the room like a silver bell. On the chubby little face, two deep dimples were faintly visible, the eyes narrowed into crescents, and the little hands and feet also danced happily.

Just at this moment, Lin Guochang walked into the bedroom with steady steps.

When he saw this heartwarming scene, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and that smile was filled with the joy and satisfaction of being a father.

He tiptoed towards the crib, and imitated An Qing, also shouting "Wow" loudly, trying to join in this joyful interaction.

But who would have thought that the baby, who was originally laughing happily, would stop laughing instantly when he heard Lin Guochang's "Wow".

The little fellow squinted his eyes and glanced slowly at Lin Guochang, with a look of scrutiny, as if he was looking at this "uninvited guest" who suddenly broke into the world of joy.

Her little head was still turning slightly, looking Lin Guochang up and down, and she looked like a little adult thinking about a problem.

The smile on Lin Guochang's face suddenly froze.

"Wow!"

Seeing this, An Qing started to tease the baby again with great interest.

The magical thing was that the baby seemed to have heard the funniest joke and started giggling again, his laughter full of love and response to An Qing.

Lin Guochang still didn't believe it and decided to try again.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and exclaimed "Wow" loudly again.

As a result, the younger sister stopped again, staring at Lin Guochang with her little eyes, silently protesting with her eyes.

I'm teasing my mother, and you're teasing your mother!

Lin Guochang: "..."

……

Yan Jin fell to her knees with a plop, holding Lin Yi's thighs tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with sobs, almost begging:

"I beg you! Be a human being! Don't accept any more missions--"

Lin Yi was bewildered and subconsciously took a step back, only to find that his thighs were held tightly by Yan Jin and he could not move at all.

"Didn't you promise me solemnly that I could take any mission in Liaoyang City?"

Lin Yi has been showing off his talents in Liaoyang City during this period, completing one difficult task after another, earning generous rewards, and also causing quite a stir.

He had already packed his bags and planned to leave Liaoyang City and head to the next city.

Before setting off, he logged into the official website of the Trainers Association to schedule the mission as usual, but something strange happened.

Everything went fine when logging into the website, but when he clicked into the interface to accept tasks, the screen clearly displayed "No tasks currently available".

At first, Lin Yi thought it was just a coincidence, or the city’s mission was temporarily not updated in time.

But when he tried city after city, and even the Trainer Association interface in the imperial capital was exactly the same, he realized that something was wrong.

He thought about it carefully and concluded that his actions in Liaoyang City must have been too conspicuous, so that someone tipped off the Trainer Associations in other cities, causing him to be collectively blacklisted.

Lin Yi was unwilling to give up, so he checked the Trainer Association in Liaoyang City and found that everything was still normal and the task issuance was also very active.

His mind immediately became active, and he thought that since other places would not allow him to take tasks, it would not be too late for him to make a fortune in Liaoyang City before leaving.

Having made up his mind, he picked up his backpack and prepared to go out.

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out of the hotel, Yan Jin rushed out from somewhere, rushed straight to him, knelt down with a "thump", hugged his thighs and started crying bitterly.

Yan Jin cried and waved his arms excitedly, his tearful face full of regret and helplessness:

"Yes, I did say that, but I really thought you were just exaggerating at the time. I never thought you were really that capable and could complete all the tasks in the entire city!"

As she spoke, Yan Jin cried even louder, big tears rolling down her face uncontrollably, and she kept rubbing them on Lin Yi's pants. Her tears and snot were everywhere, and Lin Yi's eyelids twitched. He wanted to pull his legs away in disgust, but Yan Jin hugged him even tighter.

Yan Jin sobbed and continued to complain:

“I gave you the privilege as the gym leader, but you just cleared all the missions.

Do you know what this means? Those professional trainers who make a living by completing missions will have no way to survive! Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents!

I don’t know who spread the news that I gave you the green light, but since they couldn’t find you, they all came to trouble me!

Now, every morning when I open my eyes, I have to check the door with trepidation, for fear that someone has thrown red paint on it. I live in such fear that I am almost suffering from a nervous breakdown!"

Looking at Yan Jin's pitiful appearance, Lin Yi felt a little sorry. He sighed and waved his hand helplessly:

"Okay, okay, since you're so embarrassed, can't I just not accept the mission? But having said that, you have to return the Rem figurine to me."

Hearing this, Yan Jin's crying stopped abruptly, as if the pause button was pressed.

She stood up quickly and wiped the tears and snot from her face with her sleeve:

"Well... when I think about it, being splashed with red paint doesn't seem to be a big deal. I can bear it if I grit my teeth. Why don't you continue to accept the mission, and I will keep the figurine for safekeeping?"

Lin Yi: "..."
