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

"Lin Yi, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"What a coincidence? I also have something I want to tell you."

"Well, you speak first?"

"You go first. You came here first."

"Um……"

Ruan Yaoyao raised her head and stared at Lin Yi's face. After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"I might be late for tomorrow's date..."

"yeah?"

Lin Yi looked at her in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Me too," he replied automatically.

Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but widen her eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief:

"...Ah, ah?"

She muttered to herself, how could it be such a coincidence? Did Lin Yi have any special arrangements?

I remembered that Tao Mengli had repeatedly warned me not to tell anyone about this.

So she could only choose to remain silent.

Lin Yi seemed to notice her doubts, but because he had promised Sen Yu, he could not reveal his itinerary to her.

He reached out and gently rubbed Ruan Yaoyao's little head, and said with a bit of apology:

"I'm sorry, for some reason, I can't tell you what I'm going to do, but I will definitely not break my promise, please rest assured."

In fact, Lin Yi was also a little troubled. He knew that this date was very important to both of them, but he couldn't let Ruan Yaoyao spoil the fun.

Moreover, he had to consider another factor - he was not sure whether Senyu would offer to take Tao Mengli back to the dormitory after the date.

If that is the case, it will indeed increase the goodwill between both parties, but it will probably take longer.

After careful consideration, Lin Yi re-estimated the time and found that it would most likely be past six o'clock by then.

In desperation, he had to discuss the issue with Ruan Yaoyao.

"Is it such a coincidence? Me too..."

Ruan Yaoyao murmured to herself, her doubts deepening. She couldn't help but start to wonder what secrets Lin Yi was hiding from her.

Forget it……

Ruan Yaoyao shook her head. Although she wanted to know, she had to do other things without telling Lin Yi, so she had no right to ask him to tell her the truth.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was noon the next day.

Lin Yi changed into a simple set of clothes, carefully checked whether the Bluetooth was successfully connected, and quietly hid in a corner of the supermarket, staring at Senyu standing across the street through the glass.

Since he was only here for training, Moriyu did not expect to have any dates, so he did not bring many suitable clothes.

Thanks to Lin Yi lending him a coat, his overall outfit didn't look too weird.

"Can you hear me? Is the signal okay?"

I only saw Senyu scratching the back of his head as if nothing had happened, but in fact he was secretly tapping his headphones.

"Boom."

A dull sound came from the other end of the headset.

This was a secret code they had agreed upon beforehand: one knock meant yes, two knocks meant no.

At the same time, in the rest area on the second floor of the supermarket, Ruan Yaoyao looked helpless and spoke into the headset in a low voice.

"What do you mean you don't dare? I got up early today and hid here waiting for the opportunity. When everything is ready except for the east wind, you actually told me you don't dare to go over?

Do you want to piss me off to death? Believe it or not, I will rush over to find Senyu right now and tell him everything about your feelings for him!"

There was a burst of noisy sound coming from the other end of the headphones, and then, in their sight, they saw Tao Mengli running towards them in a hurry from a distance.

At this moment, she was wearing a short skirt, paired with black tights and high-heeled ankle boots, and a light-colored jacket.

Ruan Yaoyao and Julia spent several hours putting together this outfit for Tao Mengli, and they even donated their own clothes. It is in stark contrast to her usual well-behaved and lovely image.

Coupled with her beautiful face that turned red, perhaps because she was running too fast or because she was shy, Tao Mengli was like a dazzling pearl, attracting the attention of everyone around her.

"what?"

Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on Tao Mengli's skirt, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Why does this skirt look so familiar? He remembered that Ruan Yaoyao also had the same one.

Ruan Yaoyao scratched her head in confusion, her eyes fixed on Senyu's coat.

This coat looks exactly the same as the one Lin Yi brought.

However, neither of them took this matter to heart. After all, it is not impossible for someone to wear the same clothes.

So, the two of them shouted into the headphones at the same time.

"Quick! Compliment him/her on his/her outfit!"

Senyu and Tao Mengli paused for a moment and spoke at the same time.

“You are so beautiful today/You are so handsome today!”

"..."

Both sides were stunned for a moment, and then, they felt embarrassed and their faces turned red unconsciously.

Seeing that the military advisors of both sides completed their first confrontation in this weird way, Lin Yi frowned and continued.

"Let's get straight to the point and ask her what she wants to eat."

After hearing this, Senyu suppressed his embarrassed thoughts and asked with his head down.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

Ruan Yaoyao heard Senyu's voice through the headphones and began to imagine how she would respond if Lin Yi said that to her.

"You can eat anything you want. Just let him decide."

Tao Mengli pretended to casually touch her hair, but in fact she tapped the earphones twice to indicate that she had understood the mission instructions.

However, Moriyu was unaware of the deeper meaning behind this action.

He only felt that Tao Mengli's hair-lifting action was like an extremely sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.

In an instant, his face turned red like a ripe apple, and he began to stutter, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"You are such a loser! Calm down for a moment!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi was extremely anxious. He muttered to himself:

"I just flicked my hair, and you couldn't hold back like that. Then wouldn't the series of close encounters I carefully planned be ruined?"

"Shall we... go over there?"

After Lin Yi yelled at Senyu through the headset for a long time, Senyu finally regained his composure. He pointed to a noodle shop nearby and suggested cautiously.

"What???"

Hearing this, Lin Yi almost stumbled and fell to the ground. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

On the other side, Ruan Yaoyao was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. Her brain even crashed for a short time.

When your couple goes out on a date, do you always ask the girl to eat Lanzhou ramen? Shouldn't you choose a romantic place like a western restaurant or a cafe?

Even a random restaurant would be better than this. How could anyone make such an invitation?

It’s not that Lanzhou ramen is bad, but if the purpose is to leave a good impression on each other, the behavior of slurping noodles, which makes a loud noise, is indeed worthy of scrutiny.

Anyway, if the two of them were on a date, it would be more likely that Lin Yi would cook by himself.

But neither Senyu nor Tao Mengli had ever been in the kitchen, so this plan was rejected.

What shocked Lin Yi even more was that Tao Mengli actually nodded slightly and agreed!

Okay, that's fine. Dating is a matter between two people anyway. It's fine wherever you go as long as both parties agree.

Lin Yi comforted himself in this way.

Ruan Yaoyao held her head with her hands, looking a little confused.

At this time, there seemed to be no other option but to agree, but this was different from what she expected!
