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

Qinghai Municipal Government, Affairs Processing Center.

A petite girl with a cute face was looking at the two charts in front of her with a distressed look, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and helplessness.

She tried hard to pick up the pen next to her, but for some reason, this simple action seemed extremely difficult for her.

After some struggle, the girl finally managed to control her strength and held the pen firmly with her small and delicate hands.

There were more than a dozen pens on the table, but they had all suffered varying degrees of damage.

The front ends of these pens seemed to be squeezed by some powerful force. They could not withstand the impact of this force and eventually exploded and destroyed.

"Oh--"

Seeing that the girl finally succeeded in picking up the pen, the staff around her couldn't help but cheer.

Their eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

The girl raised her head and felt the awe-inspiring gazes from the people around her. Her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and shyness, burying her face deeply in her chest.

Her shy look makes people feel pity for her.

At this time, a female employee who was responsible for receiving the girl saw the situation and hurried forward, comforting the girl while driving other staff away from the scene.

"Alright, alright, stop looking at me!"

The female employee said anxiously, casting accusatory glances at the others.

Everyone dispersed, leaving only the girl and the female employee behind.

After everyone dispersed, the female employee bent down slightly and spoke softly to the girl in a gentle voice.

"Little girl, you are here to process your participation in the Little Phoenix King Cup, right? Since you didn't register through the school's unified registration, that means you have already collected the four badges, right?"

"Ah."

The girl quickly signed Ruan Yaoyao and Lin Yi's names on the two application forms and handed over Ruan Yaoyao's four badges.

"I also signed up for another person. His family is in the hospital, so he can't come for the time being."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

The female employee looked at the name on the application form with a smile on her face.

"Your name is Ruan Yaoyao, right? It's a nice name!"

"……Um."

Mi Yu pursed her lips and responded softly.

"Little sister, now that the gym leaders are fighting against each other, it is becoming more and more difficult to challenge the badges, so newcomers like you are becoming less and less common."

The female employee looked at the Qinghai City Gym badge among the four badges, her eyes lit up slightly, and she seemed very talkative.

"Wow, that's amazing! You even have the Qinghai City badge? This is recognized as the strongest gym. You are really amazing, little sister!"

"……not me."

Mi Yu lowered his head, not daring to look at the female employee's shining eyes.

It's not me who is awesome, it's not me...

The female employee was typing on the computer, confirmed some information, and nodded.

"Well, it has been confirmed that this little brother named Lin Yi has a record of successfully challenging four badges, so he just needs to fill in these forms."

Before she finished her words, the female employee continued to show an excited and gossipy smile.

"By the way, I see you two have the same badge, did you take on this challenge together? What's your relationship?"

"……this."

Mi Yu's eyes kept wandering around, and he stammered and couldn't explain anything.

What is the relationship between me and Lin Yi? I don't know.

But I am in Ruan Yaoyao's body now, so...

"They are a couple."

A familiar voice came into his ears, Mi Yu widened his eyes and turned his head stiffly to look.

I only saw that familiar and reassuring figure standing behind me without knowing when.

“Hoo—Hoo—”

Lin Yi, who had just got off the subway and ran all the way here, was panting and holding on to the table. After he calmed down a little, he took out the badges he had put in his pocket in advance and his trainer ID.

“This is my registration material.”

Mi Yu looked at Lin Yi in surprise. How could he suddenly appear here? Didn't he go back to his hometown to take care of his grandfather who was in the hospital?

Lin Yi was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were firm and focused.

He handed the registration materials to the female employee, then turned to look at Mi Yu and said with a smile:

"Sorry, I'm late."

Mi Yu smiled slightly and shook his head gently to indicate that it was okay.

Seeing the female employee's gossipy face, as if she had heard some big news, Lin Yi couldn't help but frown.

Instead of working properly during working hours, you are here to pry into other people's privacy. You are really not doing your job properly!

Taking into account the time spent filling out the previous forms, all you need to do next is simply scan your ID and report the contents of the form, which can be done in no more than ten minutes.

If you want to ship CPs and spend your working hours in an entertaining way, no one can stop you, but if you waste other people's time, then you are wrong.

But this female employee procrastinated and wasted a lot of precious time.

Lin Yi became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but raise his voice:

"It will be done in ten minutes, and I have a flight to catch in half an hour.

Don't give me that look, this thing only requires scanning your ID and an atlas, and it should take at most ten minutes to complete.

And I know your manager. If it can’t be done within ten minutes, I will go directly to him to complain.”

The female employee was rudely criticized by Lin Yi. Her face turned red and white, and she quickly responded:

"Okay, I'll do it for you right away, please wait."

After saying that, the female employee quickly picked up the badge and chart and started working on it.

"Lin Yi, you..."

Mi Yu stared at Lin Yi's profile in a daze and stood there for a moment.

Lin Yi's expression softened and he asked.

"Why am I calling you..."

Having said that, Lin Yi suddenly raised his right hand and slapped himself hard in the face. The crisp and loud slap shocked everyone around him.

Mi Yu, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that he raised his hands and looked at him in panic, completely not knowing how to respond.

"I'm sorry. I should reflect on myself. I clearly set the message do not disturb, but I didn't check those important messages seriously and kept talking nonsense here."

As Lin Yi spoke, he rubbed his cheeks hard, trying to ease the burning pain.

Then he looked at Mi Yu and apologized to her with a smile.

"I'm really sorry. I hope you can forgive me."

Mi Yu looked at Lin Yi's face, feeling distressed, with tears welling up in his eyes.

But she tried hard to hold back her tears, held Lin Yi's hand tightly, and told him in a firm tone:

"Don't hit yourself!"

Lin Yi was slightly stunned when he saw Mi Yu’s expression which seemed like he was about to cry.

He nodded gently, accepting her advice and promising not to hurt himself again.

Just then, the female employee quickly processed their application materials and came over with a smile.

"Hello, two contestants. After review, your registration has been successful. Please arrive at the Bird's Nest in the imperial capital in advance within the specified time to prepare for the competition.

I wish you all the best in the Little Phoenix Cup."

After hearing what the female employee said, Lin Yi and Mi Yu looked at each other.

They politely thanked the female employee and took the returned application materials.

After leaving the city government, Lin Yi showed a serious expression on his face. He turned to look at Mi Yu and said to her solemnly:

"Mi Yu, I want to ask you for a favor."
