Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Facing Xia Bo's question, Yu Hai nodded gently, and said in a loud voice, just to let Xiaoyu's mother hear: "Xia Bo, you can make the arrangements. This child can also have a companion when he is with Xiaoai and the others."

Xiaoyu's mother, who was busy at the stove adding ingredients to the pot, paused for a moment. She had obviously heard the conversation between the two. There was uneasiness in her eyes as she waited anxiously for Xia Bo's response.

Xia Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then quickly responded: "Okay, since we already have two children, it's just right to teach three children, so let them learn together."

He agreed without much hesitation to Ukai's request to keep the little girl in the gym.

In his opinion, it was acceptable to take in only a little girl but not her mother.

After all, there were more and more children in the gym, and he muttered to himself that if this continued, this place would soon become a children's shelter.

What gave him even more of a headache was that every time Kikuko came to the gym to visit Xiaoai, she would look at him with a meaningful look and tease him with a faint smile on her lips.

They said they didn't expect that this old turtle had such a habit, and that he not only took in the child, but also took the child's mother in as well.

At that time, he frowned and refuted solemnly with a stern face: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person. I just feel sorry for these children who are helpless."

But Kikuko's face showed no disbelief, and no matter how he explained, the situation only got worse.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and waved his hands casually, letting them think whatever they wanted. He was too lazy to explain any more.

At the same time, the sound of slippers tapping on the floor was heard outside the kitchen. Xiao Ai came to the kitchen and was about to run to Yu Hai to ask him why he came to the Honglian Gym, when she caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu sitting at the dining table.

The girl was wearing her pajamas, fiddling with the corner of her clothes with her head down, as quiet as a mimosa blown by the wind. She immediately changed direction and moved closer curiously, her wet hair still sticking to her face.

Soon Komari came over, with Xiaoai and Komari holding Xiaoyu. The three girls' heads were put together. Komari was shaking her two pigtails and gesticulating excitedly.

"Hee hee hee……"

I don’t know what interesting thing the three of them were talking about, but they suddenly burst into crisp laughter, and their shoulders shook slightly with the laughter. The laughter filled the entire kitchen. It was really funny.

The little girls were completely immersed in their own world and didn't notice the people's eyes secretly looking over here. They might have even forgotten about their own mother.

When Xiaofeng was the last one to come out of the bathroom, dinner started...

Xiao Ai's mother wore a floral apron and put a piece of tender braised pork into Xiao Yu's bowl: "Try this, it's Xiao Ai's favorite meat."

"Mom, I want some too," Xiao Ai saw her mother picking up some food for Xiao Yu. She stared at the braised pork in Xiao Yu's bowl, puffed up her chubby cheeks, and acted coquettishly to show that she wanted some meat too.

Xiao Ai's mother's eyebrows curved slightly, she picked up a piece of meat first, smiled and tapped Xiao Ai lightly with chopsticks, and scolded with a smile, "Hurry up and teach your sister how to eat meat. The meat is stewed too big. Help your sister wipe the corners of her mouth."

"You have one too, Koumei-chan," Xiaoai's mother also picked up a piece for Koumei-chan. She treated this motherless little girl as her own daughter.

As dinner began, laughter and chatter rang out from the table, and the clinking of porcelain bowls dispelled the uneasiness that Xiaoyu's mother felt when she first sat down.

When dinner was almost over, Xiao Feng suddenly put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. His eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on Yu Hai. His Adam's apple moved unconsciously: "After dinner, let's go to the hot springs together? The pool in the back mountain has just been filled with new water."

As he said this, his fingers unconsciously crumpled the tissue in his hand, and his eyes contained elusive thoughts.

Yu Hai subconsciously looked at Xiao Feng. He felt uncomfortable being stared at. His spine shivered and he felt creepy. The soup in the spoon almost spilled out.

He was puzzled in his heart. They had lived together in the villa on Jinkan Island before, so how come he didn't notice that Xiaofeng had such a habit?

When Xiao Ai's mother heard the suggestion of taking a hot spring bath, she quickly stood up to clean up the dishes on the dining table. Her hands were still stained with detergent foam. She smiled and turned back and shouted, "This is a good idea! Take a good hot spring bath and you can sleep well at night."

Next, Xiao Ai's mother quickly put the leftovers into the refrigerator, and together with the other two women, put the dishes into the sink to wash.

After packing up, the three adults took the hands of Xiaoai and the three children and walked towards the women's hot spring in the gym.

Yu Hai, Xiao Feng and Xia Bo walked towards the men's bath. The wooden floor creaked under their feet and a faint smell of sulfur filled the air.

The women's bath is next to the men's bath, separated by only two bamboo rafts. Some light can leak through the gaps between the bamboo joints. As soon as they entered the men's bath, they heard the sound of splashing water from next door, mixed with the women's chatting and laughing, which came clearly over.

"Xiao Ai mom, how do you maintain your looks? I'm so envious, mine are all sagging..." a voice said with a hint of teasing and envy.

Another voice followed suit, saying, "Xiaoyu's mother's is not bad either. Let Xiaoyu's mother tell us first. Why is her figure so good and so pretty? How did she maintain it?"

Xiaoyu's mother obviously didn't expect there would be such a topic. She had never heard such a lewd word before, and her voice trembled a little: "I, I..."

There was panic in her voice, her face was already flushed, and her whole body was uneasy soaking in the hot spring.

"Xiao Yu's mother, don't block it. There are no outsiders here. Let us take a look." As soon as Xiao Ai's mother finished speaking, the sound of paddling water was heard, and it came to Xiao Yu's mother.

She also winked at Xiaofeng's mother, and the two women surrounded Xiaoyu's mother on the left and right, and reached out to pull open the arms in front of Xiaoyu's mother's chest.

Then, Xiaoyu's mother's voice sounded a little panicked: "Ah, don't do this, don't do this..."

"Hehe, Xiaoyu's mother is still shy." Xiaoai's mother's voice was full of laughter, "Come, I'll give you a massage, relax, don't be so nervous about taking a hot spring bath."

On the other side, Xiaoai and Komari had towels on their wet hair and were sandwiching Xiaoyu in the middle. The three little girls put their heads close to each other and whispered in low voices, talking about Ukai.

Xiao Ai approached Xiao Yu curiously and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yu Xiao Yu, how did you get to know Brother Hai?"

Xiaoai and Komari really want to know Xiaoyu's story, whether it is the same as theirs. After all, they all call Ukai "Brother Hai".

Xiaoyu clenched her hands tightly in the water, and was a little hesitant about Xiaoai's question. Before going up the mountain, her mother repeatedly reminded her that talking too much can easily lead to mistakes, especially about family matters.

All we can say is that she has no father and depends on her mother for everything. She was picked up by Yu Hai and came to the gym.

She bit her lip and whispered, "I don't have a father and have always lived with my mother. It was Brother Hai who brought us here..."

……

The steaming hot air, wrapped in the women's laughter and conversation, kept floating in through the gaps in the bamboo rafts.

Yu Hai was half lying in the hot spring pool, the water level rising above his shoulders. The sound of people playing in the water next door was getting louder and louder, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

He glanced at Xia Bo from the corner of his eye. Xia Bo's neck and cheeks were abnormally red. He didn't know if it was because of the steam from the hot spring or because the water was too hot.

The women's topics became more and more bold. Xia Bo clenched his fingers on the edge of the pool, his Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times. He suddenly stood up, splashing water, wrapped himself in a bath towel beside him, and walked out hurriedly.

"I'm old now, I can't stay in the bath for too long, you young people should continue..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Bo had already disappeared around the corner. Yu Hai and Xiao Feng looked at Xia Bo's hurriedly fleeing back, looked at each other, and both of them twitched their lips at the same time.

When Xiaofeng saw Xia Bo leaving, he suddenly moved towards Yu Hai. Now was a good time to meet him.

When Yu Hai saw Xiao Feng approaching, he subconsciously shrank back, his back touching the cold wall of the pool. He felt goosebumps in his heart and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Feng's every move.

Xiaofeng moved forward again, and Yu Hai immediately retreated to the other side of the hot spring pool. His heart was pounding and his eyes were alert, fearing that Xiaofeng would do something strange. He didn't understand what Xiaofeng was going to do, but he didn't want to pick up the soap anyway.

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and stopped, with a helpless and puzzled expression on his face. He didn't understand why Yu Hai was hiding.

The two of them circled the hot spring pool twice, and Xiao Feng finally stood by the pool, frowning, his eyes full of grievance: "Boss, why are you running?"

Yu Hai crossed his arms over his chest and asked unhappily, "What are you chasing after?"

He was still muttering to himself, speechlessly looking at Xiaofeng who was still feeling aggrieved. If Xiaofeng hadn't been chasing him, would he have to hide?

Xiao Feng stared at Yu Hai's evasive eyes, and suddenly reacted. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he said speechlessly: "Boss, you don't think I'm that kind of person, do you?"

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Yu Hai waved his hands quickly and denied it three times in a row. His head shook like a rattle, and his voice rose unconsciously.

How could he talk about such a thing? He was so panicked that he secretly swore that he would never admit it, even if he was beaten to death. Yu was not gay. Yu was a steely straight man, a steely straight man who could not be forced to be gay.

As for whether Xiaofeng is that kind of person, he doesn't know and doesn't want to know. In short, don't get close to him.

Xiao Feng sighed, sat back in the hot spring, and looked straight at Yu Hai: "Boss, I just want to invite you to form a team and do a private job with me."

His tone was sincere, his eyes were firm, and he did not back down. He also wanted to prove that he was straight, not crooked, that he was innocent, and that he would not pick up the soap.

Hearing the word "private work", Yu Hai's tense shoulders finally relaxed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What private work?"

"Really?" Xiao Feng was about to say something when he heard the noises of fighting and laughter coming from the women's bath next door, as well as the sound of water hitting the pool wall. After making sure that the sound was loud enough, he moved towards Yu Hai.

This time Yu Hai didn't hide, but just frowned slightly, still feeling a little uncomfortable. The psychological trauma of this time made him afraid to take a bath with men.

Seeing that Yu Hai didn't dodge this time, Xiao Feng lowered his voice, which almost blended with the gurgling sound of the hot spring: "It's like this, a wanted criminal escaped from Sinnoh to Kanto, and the wanted order has been sent to the Pokémon Center. It's a wounded Tenno trainer..."

"Since the boss is here, I don't need to find anyone else to form a team. With the boss here, we are more confident of capturing the wanted criminal. This man has two Heavenly King-level elves. Perhaps we can get the resources for the elves to break through to Heavenly King from this wanted criminal..."

Xiaofeng became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling, and his body leaned forward unconsciously, splashing water that covered Yu Hai's arm that was leaning on the edge of the pool.

Yu Hai subconsciously retracted his arm, frowned, and asked again: "Are you sure? Is the wanted criminal injured?"

After hearing Xiaofeng's story, he couldn't help but think about it, and his thoughts went back to his experience on the passenger ship a few days ago.

At that time, he asked around for high-end gatherings, but all he attended were ordinary trainer gatherings, and he didn't even see the shadow of a top-level trainer.

Now it seems normal. It is not easy for a Elite-level trainer to appear on a passenger ship, let alone several Elite-level trainers. I was really lucky to be able to exchange for wet rocks last time and encounter a small-scale Elite-level gathering.

After arriving at Crimson Lotus Island, he has been worried about the breakthrough materials for Lucario. The wanted criminal that Xiaofeng mentioned sounds a bit dangerous, but it is not impossible.
