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

"You've bought so many things again. It's really costing you a lot of money!"

In a run-down orphanage near the outskirts of the imperial capital, an old lady with white hair and a kind face said with a smile.

Li Ye shook his head slightly:

"No, no, grandma, don't say that. I bought all these things with my scholarship and the prize money I won from participating in competitions. It didn't cost much."

"Well, you are a kind-hearted child. But you don't have to come here to help every holiday. You should put more energy into studying and try to get into a better university, so as not to regret it in the future." Dean Liu advised earnestly.

However, in response to Dean Liu's advice, Li Ye did not respond. He just listened quietly to the laughter coming from the orphanage, and then shook his head silently.

Looking across the dilapidated courtyard, Li Ye made up his mind secretly.

When I win the Little Phoenix Cup in a month and get the first place prize, I will find a way to move this orphanage to the city center.

After all, the environment here is really bad...

"Nido!"

"Nidorino, don't run!"

At the gate of the orphanage, a purple figure rushed out like lightning.

Then, a little boy followed closely behind it, opened his arms as he ran, hugged Nidorino's neck, and laid his whole body on it.

"Oh, it's Brother Li Ye!"

The little boy shouted excitedly, rubbing Nidorino's head playfully. Suddenly, he saw Li Ye standing beside him, and his eyes instantly brightened.

"Yeah, Xiao Fan."

Li Ye responded with a smile, but his eyes were always on the reluctant Nidorino under Xiao Fan, and he couldn't help wondering.

This small orphanage has only had two Pokémon, Happiny and Roselade, raised by the director. So where on earth did this Nidorino come from?

What’s even more puzzling is that I always feel like this Nidorino looks familiar…

At this moment, Dean Liu seemed to see through Li Ye's inner confusion and took the initiative to explain:

"Today, there is another student with the same status as you who came here to volunteer. I guess this Nidorino belongs to him."

"student?"

Li Ye frowned slightly when he heard this.

You know, the orphanage is located in a remote area, and it is usually deserted and almost no one cares about it all year round.

However, it is really unbelievable that a stranger would visit this place today.

"Brother Li Ye, what delicious food did you bring us?"

Xiao Fan ran to Li Ye, his eyes constantly glancing at the snacks that Li Ye brought.

Li Ye put his doubts behind him, rubbed Xiao Fan's head with a smile, and handed him a lollipop.

"Thank you, Brother Li Ye!"

Xiao Fan immediately took the lollipop and ran into the orphanage.

"Everyone, Brother Li Ye is here!"

Li Ye and Dean Liu looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

……

"Hey, don't run so fast! You could easily fall."

"Don't climb so high, it's dangerous!"

"Hey, don't cry! Charmeleon, come here and tell me the whole story!"

"Roar, roar?"

In the orphanage, a slightly thin black-haired boy was frantically chasing after more than twenty children.

He was busy and confused, sometimes wiping one person's nose and sometimes taking another to the toilet.

At the same time, Charmeleon and Nidorino have completely become toys for children. They try their best to make children happy.

“Roar, roar~”

"Ni, Nido~"

The two Pokémon looked miserable and kept wailing miserably.

For them, such tasks are much more difficult than fighting, and they put them under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally.

Li Ye stood there blankly, staring at the busy boy, and suddenly couldn't help but screamed:

"Zhuge An?"

Hearing someone calling his name, Zhuge An suddenly stopped and turned to look in surprise.

"What the hell! Li Ye?"

After the two shouted each other's names in unison, there was a moment of silence.

However, at this moment, a childish voice broke the silence.

"Brother Zhuge An, what does 'fuck' mean?"

I saw a cute little girl blinking her big, bright eyes and leaning her head over curiously.

“!”

Li Ye rushed forward like an arrow shot from a bow, covered the little girl's mouth with his hand, and said with an extremely serious expression:

"You can't say those two words. They are not nice words, and children shouldn't say them."

"Hey? Why can't you tell me, Brother Li Ye?"

Another little boy came up.

"Because if children say bad words, they will be beaten."

Li Ye had a serious look on his face. He gave Zhuge An beside him a big slap on the face and said, "Just like this!"

Zhuge An: “???”

Zhuge An was beaten so hard that he was stunned. He covered his face for a long time before he reacted. He stared at Li Ye with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief and muttering.

At this time, Dean Liu happened to come over and asked in surprise when he saw this scene: "So you two know each other?"

Li Ye nodded quickly, then smiled and said to Dean Liu:

"Yes, not only do I know him, but we also live in the same dormitory. Grandma, please distribute these snacks to the children first. I have something to talk to him about."

After saying that, he bowed politely to Dean Liu, then turned around and glared at Zhuge An fiercely.

"You, come with me!" Li Ye said sternly.

Zhuge An was somewhat surprised by the rapid change in Li Ye's attitude, and could not help but say: "Why do you still have two faces? Damn..."

"Snapped!"

However, before he could finish his words, Li Ye suddenly raised his hand and made another precise big choke.

"I told you not to swear!"

Li Ye looked at Zhuge An coldly, his eyes full of majesty and anger, ready to strike again at any time.

"You know that this will corrupt the children!"

Zhuge An was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth, lowered his head and shrank his neck, not daring to say another word.

Dean Liu stood there, watching the two people walking away, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Oh, these two young people have such a good relationship!"

Hearing this, Zhuge An almost fell to the ground.

He just slapped me twice in the face! Didn't you see it?

When they were some distance away from the orphanage, Li Ye suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed Zhuge An roughly against the wall, questioning in a cold tone.

"Why are you here?"

Even though they had known each other for a while, Zhuge An was still frightened by Li Ye's appearance, but when he thought about it carefully.

That's not right, why should I be afraid of him!

Thinking of this, Zhuge An immediately stood up, slapped Li Ye's hand away, stood up and straightened his messed-up clothes.

"Cough cough."

Zhuge An cleared his throat and his expression became impatient.

"This doesn't seem to have much to do with you..."

"Um?!"

Zhuge An wilted after being glared at.

There was no way. Li Ye’s eyes were too scary. I felt that if I didn’t deal with him, I would have to kneel on the ground and sing "Liang Liang" today.

So Li Ye said honestly:

"Of course it's to earn credits! Isn't that what you think?"

Hearing the word "credits", Li Ye couldn't help but narrow his eyes and asked in confusion:

"Shouldn't the credits used to exchange for resources only be obtained through performance in competitions and exams?"

"Didn't you see the notice posted on the bulletin board before the holiday?" the other party asked.

Li Ye shook his head very frankly, indicating that he had not noticed the news, and replied:

"No."

"...彳庍口巴."

Faced with such a straightforward reply, Zhuge An was speechless, but he still patiently explained to him:

“Rockview was hit by Regichikas a few days ago, and volunteers from all over the country organized themselves to go to the affected areas to provide assistance.

Our Imperial University also actively responded to the call and formulated and issued a series of relevant policies for this purpose.

As long as anyone is willing to serve as a volunteer, they can choose to go to Yanjing City to help, or stay in the imperial capital's hospitals, orphanages, etc. to serve.

Then submit the proof of your participation in practical activities to the school, and you will get corresponding credit rewards.

As for me, I actually didn't really want to go to such a far place and suffer, I just simply wanted to earn some credits.

I had previously looked up this orphanage on a map on my phone. It looked quite small, and I had thought it would be easy to volunteer here.

If I had known it would be so tiring, I would have gone to Rockview to volunteer.”

Li Ye ignored Zhuge An's complaints, and raised his lips in a cold arc, as if he was frowning, but also as if he was mocking.

"What do you mean by response or no response? You just do some nonsense and don't know how to do something practical."

Li Ye murmured softly, turned around and left without any reluctance.

"Where are you going?"

"Say hello to Grandma Liu, and then go home for special training."

Li Ye said without even turning his head.

"Ah? If you don't record a video to prove that you've done volunteer work, the school won't give you credits."

Li Ye snorted with disdain, his voice becoming even colder.

"I simply disdain such hypocritical and pretentious things."

"Ah this..."

Zhuge Anzui's mouth twitched, he didn't know what to say about Li Ye.

Is he self-righteous, or just a big idiot?

Who has the time to go against money?

"Well, let's go back and tell the dean and ask her to come forward to prove it. After all, the training resources exchanged for credits are still very important."

Zhuge An scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

"Well, even though you're a little annoying, who made me your roommate?"
