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

The morning light was dim, and the soft light quietly climbed up the windowsill, but it was out of tune with the atmosphere in the house.

Lin Yi sat blankly beside the messy bed, his eyes empty and lifeless, staring at the screen of his mobile phone with an unfocused gaze. The word "failure" written in bright red on it was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart.

His hands were shaking slightly unconsciously, as if they were under a spell and couldn't stop.

At first, he vowed that "I will not lose a single hand tonight", and that confident energy seemed to still be in front of us;

Then, a series of losses made him quickly change his words to “I only lost one game tonight.”

But fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. The situation gets more and more out of control, and his mentality gradually collapses in the repeated failures, and he stops comforting himself by thinking that “experts don’t win the first three rounds”.

In the end, he almost collapsed and begged, "Please let me win."

All night long, he struggled with this endless failure.

"Damn! What a rubbish game!"

Lin Yi finally couldn't help but explode, his voice trembling slightly with anger, and he threw the phone aside with both hands.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His mind kept recalling those moments when he was "targeted" by the system, those defeats that could not be reversed no matter how hard he tried.

"It's definitely because my previous record was too good, so the system targeted me, elo."

He made excuses for himself over and over again in his mind, as if only in this way could he heal the trauma in his heart a little.

"Rubbish game, ruining my youth!"

He cursed with gritted teeth, and then, with trembling fingers, he silently dragged this game that he loved and hated to the uninstall interface.

As the progress bar moved forward, he felt a sense of relief.

"Fuck, go to sleep!"

Lin Yi pulled the quilt tightly over his head, trying to block out all the bad things.

He closed his eyes tiredly, hoping to find some peace in his sleep.

However, just as he was about to lie down, a dazzling ray of sunlight, like a sharp sword, came in through the window without warning, stinging his eyes.

"Fuck! Why is it already dawn!"

Lin Yi sat up abruptly, raised his hand to block the light, his face full of disbelief.

"Well……"

A faint murmur broke the tranquility of the early morning. Ruan Yaoyao seemed to be disturbed by Lin Yi's previous curse and woke up from her sleep in a daze.

Her eyes were still full of sleepiness, and her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. It took a lot of effort for her to keep them open a crack.

She focused her eyes on the alarm clock on the bedside table with great effort. After seeing the time clearly, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Then, she supported herself on the bed with her hands and slowly sat up, her movements lazy and a little sleepy.

"Well... Lin Yi, you got up so early..."

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned as she spoke, her voice soft and still filled with sleepiness.

"..."

However, the only response she got was silence.

"I think I should sleep a little longer..."

Ruan Yaoyao muttered again, she stretched herself lazily, still immersed in the lazy state of sleep.

But soon, she seemed to suddenly remember something and woke up with a start.

"Forget it, hurry up and get up, wash up, eat and go to the examination room early."

As she said this, she prepared to lift the quilt, get up and get dressed.

At this moment, Lin Yi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly took action.

He pounced on Ruan Yaoyao and pressed her under him.

"Hey! Lin Yi?!"

Ruan Yaoyao was startled by this sudden action, and she woke up instantly. Her little face turned red instantly, shyness and confusion intertwined in her eyes. She looked nervously at Lin Yi, whose eyes were bloodshot, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"Wait, Lin Yi, we still have to take the college entrance examination!"

Ruan Yaoyao said in panic, subconsciously trying to push Lin Yi away with her hands, but her strength seemed so weak at this moment.

Well, it seems that you are not going to refuse.

Lin Yi felt Ruan Yaoyao's struggling strength and said silently in his heart.

"There's enough time."

Lin Yi's voice was low and hoarse. As he spoke, he reached out and slowly pulled away the quilt that was covering Ruan Yaoyao's body.

In the slightly cool air, Ruan Yaoyao's skin was covered with a layer of fine goose bumps.

Then, Lin Yi lowered his head slightly and kissed her without hesitation.

……

"what……"

Lin Yi couldn't help but yawning, and the yawn was full of sleepiness and fatigue. There were thick dark circles around his eyes, and he looked like a giant panda that had not slept well.

Then he quickly picked up the can of coffee beside him and took a big gulp. The cold coffee flowed down his throat, trying to dispel the lingering sleepiness.

"Young man, you are going to the examination room, right?"

The taxi driver glanced at Lin Yi in the rearview mirror and started talking to him enthusiastically. His voice was somewhat hearty, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere in the car.

"Yes."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and responded weakly, his eyes a little dazed.

"Looking at the dark circles under your eyes, I guess you must have studied very late last night, right?"

The master continued to ask, his tone full of concern, as if he had a natural closeness to these candidates who were about to go to the examination hall.

"..."

Lin Yi opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He felt uneasy and his eyes were evasive. He didn't dare tell his teacher that he didn't review at all last night, but played games all night long.

If the master knew the truth, he would probably be shocked.

Seeing that Lin Yi did not respond, the master was not angry. His gaze turned to Ruan Yaoyao who was sitting next to Lin Yi.

Ruan Yaoyao huddled in her seat, her head almost buried in her clothes, looking just like a frightened little ostrich.

"Little girl, don't be nervous. Keep calm. The college entrance examination is not that scary."

The master smiled and comforted her. That smile was warm and kind, like a shot of adrenaline to Ruan Yaoyao.

"Thank you, thank you."

Ruan Yaoyao responded softly, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's hum.

She hid her face tightly in her clothes, not daring to move, for fear that if there was even the slightest gap, the conspicuous kiss mark on her neck would be exposed.

Her heart was in turmoil, she was nervous and shy, and she secretly glanced at Lin Yi out of the corner of her eye, her eyes full of reproach.

Along the way, the taxi driver skillfully controlled the steering wheel. His driving skills were superb. Every turn and brake was just right. The entire journey was as smooth as driving on a calm lake, with almost no bumps.

Soon, the taxi stopped steadily outside the examination room.

Looking around, the place is already crowded with people and very lively.

The students either gathered in groups of two or three, whispering about what to pay attention to in the exam; or stood alone, silently doing the final review, muttering to themselves.

The students' parents also rushed over, their eyes full of concern and worry.

Some parents are holding their children's hands and giving them instructions constantly, wishing they could give all the instructions to their children at once; some parents are standing by silently, looking at their children with warm eyes, which are full of encouragement and support; and some parents are holding various examination supplies, fearing that their children will miss something.

In order to ensure order around the examination room, the police have already been busy at the scene.

They were dressed in neat uniforms and moved among the crowd with upright postures, directing traffic and maintaining order.

Whenever students or parents ask questions, they always answer patiently with a friendly smile on their faces.
