Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Upon hearing this, Sakurada Xueli and Ao Shiyao began to place their orders.

Soon, we ordered the food.

"Please wait."

The waiter took the menu away and when he turned around, the apron string brushed against the ends of Sakurada Xueli's hair.

When I went to the kitchen, a corner of the door curtain was lifted, and the buzzing sound of whipped cream and the faint aroma of caramel wafted out.

Ao Shiyao suddenly reached out and turned the bracelet on Li Chen's wrist: "The light looks better this way."

Li Chen didn't understand what was happening and didn't say much.

Sakurada Xueli puffed up her face, took out the Poké Ball, released Lucario and squeezed in between the two of them.

Outside the window, the neon lights of Beijing are just beginning to come on.

“Tick, tick, tick…”

There were slow and steady footsteps on the wooden stairs.

A silver-haired old woman appeared, holding the handrail, the coral pattern embroidered on her apron had faded a little.

"Let me see..." She narrowed her eyes, then suddenly smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "Did Xiao Yaoyao bring her friends?"

"grandmother!"

Ao Shiyao stood up suddenly, and the coral earrings flickered with tiny lights.

She trotted over to support her, but the old woman gently slapped her hand away: "Silly girl, grandma is not old enough to need help."

The old woman paused slightly when her eyes swept over Li Chen.

The coral bracelet on the young man's wrist was almost identical to the one she had collected for many years.

"This handsome young man is..."

The old woman suddenly leaned closer, her eyes flashing cunningly behind her reading glasses: "Our Yaoyao's boyfriend?"

Click...

Sakurada Yukiri's fork suddenly made a sharp sound on the plate, and Lucario pricked up his ears in alertness.

At this moment, the bracelet on Li Chen's wrist slipped onto the table, making a crisp "click" sound.

"Grandma!"

Ao Shiyao's coral earrings hit her cheek with a "smack". She frantically tried to fix them, but ended up clinking the water glass on the table. "We're...just ordinary friends!"

The old man smiled and put his hands behind his back, his apron strings swaying slightly as he moved. "I know, young people nowadays like to start by being just ordinary friends."

She winked at the clerk behind the counter as she turned.

The girl was biting her lips hard, afraid of laughing out loud.

The old woman's gaze lingered on the coral bracelet for a long time, her knuckles tapping lightly on the edge of the wooden table.

"This blue coral..." She suddenly raised her eyes, "In our hometown, it's a token of love given to a loved one."

"Cough cough cough...Grandma!"

Ao Shiyao choked suddenly and hurriedly tried to wipe the spilled juice.

The old woman didn't care about what Ao Shiyao was thinking, but asked, "I don't know, what do you think of our Yaoyao?"

"pretty good."

Li Chen smiled, and his answer made the old woman's face wrinkle even more.

The neon lights outside the window changed color at that moment.

A blue-purple halo flowed across Li Chen's calm profile, and also across the coral pendant dangling on Ao Shiyao's red ear.

"Grandma, you really are..."

Ao Shiyao's fingertips were twisting the hem of her skirt under the table, and her coral nails were showing a light white.

The old woman smiled knowingly, leaning on the counter and slowly standing up: "When people get old, they tend to talk nonsense..."

She deliberately raised her voice, "It's time to cut the strawberries in the kitchen~"

When the wooden door curtain was lifted again, the aroma came before the plate.

The three layers of strawberry parfait fell down tremblingly with gold foil, and the crispy shell on the surface of the caramel pudding was still crackling.

The highlight was the pineapple fried rice.

Between the golden rice grains lies a heart-shaped ham pressed into a mold, with a small blue coral flag next to it.

"Specially made here!" the waiter put down his cutlery, suppressing a laugh. "A family heirloom... a friendship set meal."

Sakurada Xueli's fork was hanging in the air, and Ao Shiyao was about to bury her face in the ice water.

The latte art on the cup of milk tea in front of Li Chen had somehow turned into a cartoon portrait of Yueyue Bear...

"Ayao..." Sakurada Xueli's voice was sickeningly sweet, "This was also planned by you, right?"

The fork on her fingertip reflected the cold light and gouged a small hole in the strawberry parfait.

"No way!" Ao Shiyao looked up suddenly, only to meet her best friend's narrowed eyes.

The next second, cold fingertips pinched her cheek.

"Wu...Sister Xueli, you are bullying me!"

Ao Shiyao's protest was muffled into a vague mumble.

Sakurada Xueli took the initiative and sat next to her, with the hem of her uniform pressing down the lace edge of her coral skirt.

"There are even more extreme ones~"

Sakurada Xueli suddenly reached out and gently stroked the outside of Ao Shiyao's thigh with her fingertips.

That was the spot they were most ticklish when they were little. Ao Shiyao jumped up with a scream, and her coral earrings almost flew off.

Li Chen calmly drank a sip of milk tea. The latte art with Yueyue Bear's head portrait had become blurred and turned into an abstract painting.

"All right."

Li Chen's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it made the two girls freeze at the same time.

He held down Sakurada Xueli's restless wrist with one hand, and straightened Ao Shiyao's crooked collar with the other.

Sakurada Xueli's ahoge hair drooped down and she moved back to the seat opposite reluctantly.

Ao Shiyao was frantically adjusting her coral skirt, and the tips of her ears were red as if they were about to bleed.

Li Chen's gaze fell on Sakurada Xueli.

"I didn't expect that Xueli, who used to blush every time she spoke, would be so open now."

He let out a small laugh.

The girl in my memory who used to hide behind Lucario and stutter even when looking at each other, now actually takes the initiative to pinch other people's thighs.

Chapter 498 Clash against the master and rebel against the disciples

Sakurada Xueli was secretly scooping Ao Shiyao's pudding, and suddenly froze when she heard this.

The caramel crust on the spoon fell to the tablecloth with a "plop", splashing small brown marks.

"That's because..."

Her voice trailed off, a familiar pink tint adorning the tips of her ears.

At this moment, the soft and cute apprentice who could produce water with a pinch seemed to be back again.

Sakurada Xueli's fingers suddenly twisted together and sank deeply into the folds of her skirt.

The uniform skirt was crumpled into tiny waves, just like her fluctuating mood at the moment.

In response to her master's question, she opened her mouth but only exhaled a puff of warm air.

She could obviously tickle people arrogantly in front of Ao Shiyao, but a look from Li Chen could turn her back into the helpless little disciple.

"Master..."

Her voice was so soft that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. The neon lights changed color, dyeing her profile the same crimson as when they first met.

Ao Shiyao suddenly pushed the strawberry parfait over, and the bottom of the glass made a light sound on the table: "Eat yours."

Her tone was fierce, but her eyes were curved.

"Well......"

Sakurada Xueli was caught off guard by having her mouth full of strawberries, and she forgot to wipe the cream off the corners of her mouth.

She puffed out her cheeks, but her wet eyes were always glued to Li Chen's face.

"Sister Xinyong said..."

The moment she swallowed her dessert, Sakurada Xueli suddenly blurted out this sentence, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the hem of her skirt again, "Master actually... likes the active type?"

Li Chen's teacup stopped in mid-air, reflecting the tips of the two girls' ears, which were both red...

"You took that girl's words seriously..."

Li Chen put his fingers on his temples, shook his head helplessly and laughed softly.

Before he finished speaking, the sweet scent of strawberries suddenly approached.

Sakurada Xueli's fingertips gently pressed on his thigh, and the hem of her uniform skirt rubbed against his pants.

She pressed herself against him like a spoiled Eevee, and the cherry blossom hairpin on her head rubbed against his shoulder.

"Because I want to be with Master in the future..."

"Me...Me too!"

Ao Shiyao suddenly squeezed over, and the thin chain of her coral halter dress poked Li Chen's arm.

She doesn't have the sweet fragrance like Sakurada Xueli, but instead has a refreshing scent like the sea breeze.

If you ignore the force with which she was almost pulling Li Chen's sleeve out of shape.

"Ayao you...!"

Sakurada Xueli's ahoge hair stood up, but because of her awkward posture she couldn't perform a "tickling attack", so she could only angrily press her forehead against Li Chen's other shoulder.

"Okay, let's eat first."

Li Chen gently patted the tops of the two girls' heads, as if to comfort a naughty Pokémon.

Sakurada Xueli's ahoge hair drooped down limply, and she finally let go of the hand that was grabbing the corner of his clothes; Ao Shiyao sat up straight with a pout, and her coral earrings swayed in an arc of defiance.

......

......

As the night deepened, the street lights on the campus path stretched the shadows of the three people very long.

The moment she pushed open the door of the villa, Sakurada Xueli's leather shoes left small marks on the carpet.

She looked up at the high dome crystal chandelier, a little surprised.

"T-This is the school dormitory?!"

The sound echoed in the empty living room.

Ao Shiyao's coral sandals stepped on the marble floor, and the crisp sound startled the aluminum-steel bridge dragon that was napping on the second floor. Its metal tail hit the guardrail with a "bang".

"The two rooms on the left are empty." Li Chen casually pressed the smart panel, and the curtains of the guest room automatically opened, revealing the panoramic glass of the training field outside the window. "The water pressure in the bathroom may be a bit high."

As he was speaking, Yueyue Bear had already slipped into the kitchen with a new honey jar in his mouth.

And Fluttering Hair hung upside down from the chandelier, looking at the two visitors curiously.

Sakurada Xueli secretly pinched her face. This was not a dormitory at all, it was clearly the presidential suite of a five-star hotel!

"Master~"

Sakurada Xueli suddenly stood on tiptoe.

When she raised her head, the scent of cherry blossoms from her hair drifted into Li Chen's collar. "Which room are you staying in?"

"what happened?"
