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

“Hoo—Hoo—”

Lin Yi, his face covered in sweat, could no longer support his body. He suddenly fell to his knees with a thump, then lay prone on the ground, gasping for breath.

It turned out that Xia Menghui stipulated that everyone had to wear the body-sensing suits at all times and could not take them off until the next day when they gathered.

However, Lin Yi not only took off the suit in advance, but also destroyed it.

Because of this, Lin Yi was "lucky" enough to receive a 500-lap penalty.

In fact, it was not just Lin Yi. Except for a very few people, most people failed to achieve the goals set by Xia Menghui. Therefore, they were also subjected to corporal punishment, but the number of laps they needed to run was less than Lin Yi.

At the same time, Ruan Yaoyao, who was treated the same as Lin Yi by Xia Menghui and was punished to run 500 laps because of accidentally damaging the equipment, didn't even have time to breathe.

When she saw that Lin Yi had finally finished running, she walked straight over, bent down, and squatted, not caring at all that he was covered in sweat. She reached out and held Lin Yi's shoulders to help him up.

"You can't stop right after the intense exercise you just did. I'll walk a few more laps with you until your body temperature drops a little."

"Um......"

At this time, Lin Yi was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and could only nod slightly in response.

In fact, compared with his peers, Lin Yi's physique is indeed slightly stronger, but it cannot be compared with a monster like Ruan Yaoyao.

Perhaps because he was frequently accidentally injured by Ruan Yaoyao since he was a child, Lin Yi was worried that his fragile body would collapse one day, so he often took time to exercise.

He looked down at Ruan Yaoyao, who looked radiant and energetic. She seemed to be in a particularly happy mood. She hummed softly while supporting himself for a walk.

Lin Yi couldn't help but recall Ruan Yaoyao's unusually proactive and surprising behavior in the hotel last night. He felt uneasy and didn't know how to respond.

Did Yaoyao finally like that feeling? Or has spring arrived?

No way, it’s almost winter now.

After a night of hard work, getting up early in the morning to rush back to the Bird's Nest, and running so many laps, Lin Yi felt stars in front of his eyes and felt weak all over, as if he had lost all his strength.

Xia Menghui crossed her arms and silently watched the two people slowly return to the team, ignoring the people around her who were crying and complaining about their tiredness, and spoke out.

"If we fail to complete the task again, we will only be more exhausted. I didn't expect that only three people completed the task. It's so disappointing!"

The three people referred to are Li Ye, Zhuge An and Mi Yu.

The students below were so ashamed that they couldn't even raise their heads. Having been regarded as geniuses since childhood, they didn't take the task assigned by Xia Menghui seriously at first, thinking that such a simple task was impossible to accomplish.

As a result, they found that it was extremely difficult when they started. Also, due to their poor skills, they wasted a lot of time and failed to complete the task within the specified time.

Xia Menghui lowered her eyes and glanced at the silent students, then nodded with satisfaction.

This is exactly the effect he wants. Those who can stand out among thousands of peers and become members of the school team must have their own pride in their hearts, and this pride will often harm themselves.

That's why Xia Menghui deliberately set the difficulty of the first day's task very high, in order to suppress them and let them know that even geniuses like them cannot accomplish anything.

but……

Xia Menghui looked at Zhuge An, who had not finished his breakfast in the team and was eating a bun in his hand; Li Ye, who had no expression on his face and just listened to the arrangements silently; and Mi Yu, who turned his body sideways and looked at his sister seriously as she translated in sign language.

In Xia Menghui's expectation, none of the 15 people would be able to complete the task, and the entire army would be wiped out. Unexpectedly, three people were able to survive.

Putting away her surprise, Xia Menghui called four people out of the line just like she did yesterday, and asked the others to wait where they were.

"Senyu, Julia, Tao Mengli, Lin Yi, step out!"

"With me?"

Lin Yi, who had not yet fully recovered, was a little surprised and walked out.

After saying hello to their companions who stayed behind, the boys and girls followed Xia Menghui to a facility with a black exterior.

After saying something to the administrator at the door, Xia Menghui turned around and looked at the two men and two women in front of her and said.

"Do you know why I asked the four of you to come together?"

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, unable to figure out what was going on.

"Because you all have water Pokémon."

Water Pokémon?

Before Lin Yi could think deeply about what the other party meant, Xia Menghui had already walked in with four people.

It was not until he entered this facility that Lin Yi realized that there was a different world inside.

It seemed to be an aquarium-like place, surrounded by fish tanks of different sizes. Through the glass, one could see different kinds of water-type Pokémon swimming slowly around.

When you enter the aquarium, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge glass curtain wall, through which you can glimpse a colorful underwater world.

Lights gently pour down from the top, interweaving with the underwater lights to create a dreamlike atmosphere. The water sways gently within these transparent barriers, reflecting the waves like countless twinkling stars.

Such a wonderful scene made the four people somewhat intoxicated.

Xia Menghui waited for a while before speaking to draw the four people's attention back.

"follow me."

Under the guidance of the staff, they stored their belongings and went to the locker room to change their clothes.

"This……"

Lin Yi looked at the heavy diving suit and oxygen tank in his hands, thought for a while, and asked.

"Can I not wear this? It's too heavy."

"Classmate, I suggest you put it on."

Senyu, who was struggling to put on a diving suit, reminded him.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"From what the instructor said, I guess our training will be held in this water."

Moriyu seemed to be very talkative and put forward his own guesses appropriately.

"He said that since we all have water-type Pokémon, the mission would most likely require us and our Pokémon to complete something underwater. Since such professional equipment is provided, why not use it?"

"That's right..."

It was similar to what Lin Yi guessed. It seemed that none of the people who could participate in the training camp were simple.

"But what a pity!"

"What's the pity?"

Senyu pointed at the thick diving suit with a look of disgust and sighed heavily.

"Since I can guess what the mission is, the two girls can definitely guess it too. I was originally thinking I would have a chance to see them in swimsuits, but now that they are wearing diving suits, there is nothing I can see."

"..."

"Hey, what's that expression on your face?"

Senyu looked at Lin Yi's complicated expression and finally couldn't help but spoke.

"I know what I just said might be a little bit offensive, but those two girls are so cute. As a man with normal sexual orientation, it's normal for me to have such thoughts, right?"

Lin Yi thought about it carefully and indeed felt that the two girls were quite pretty.

But to be honest, compared to looking at strangers' swimsuits, he actually wanted to see Ruan Yaoyao in a bikini.

After all, Ruan Yaoyao was wearing a bikini in the hotel last night!

"I already have a girlfriend."

"Oh! I see!"

Senyu shook his head helplessly, still mumbling something under his breath.

"You full men just don't know how hungry we are."
