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

"Hiss——this person isn't on my cousin's list..."

Lin Yi bit his fingernails, leaned against the kitchen wall, and stared at the list on his mobile phone screen.

After careful confirmation several times, he was surprised to find that the name Yu Sheng was not on the list of seeded players carefully compiled by Lin Wan'er.

What puzzled him even more was that he learned through an online search that Xiuka was just a small town in Bagui. This town was not prominent in Bagui Province, and Yusheng went to school here.

But the problem is that no school in Xiuka Town is qualified to participate in the Little Phoenix Cup.

In addition, Yu Sheng himself has not completed the transfer procedures, which means that if he wants to participate in the Little Phoenix Cup, he can only participate as an individual by collecting four badges.

Lin Yi's curiosity was completely aroused, and he began to look through the videos of Yu Sheng's previous games, trying to find clues.

When Lin Yi looked through the video of Yu Sheng's last game again, he found that he won the first game with great difficulty when he commanded the initial Pokémon Frog.

At first, Lin Yi did not pay much attention to Yu Sheng because the victory was hard-won.

However, when he reviewed the videos again, he found some clues - Yu Sheng was obviously deliberately hiding his strength, because Bubble Frog only used two skills, Bubble and Flash, throughout the game.

Although these two skills are already quite proficient enough, for this good-looking Bubble Frog, this seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.

And in this team battle, is it because you feel that if you continue to hide your abilities, you will lose, so you use your full strength?

This question made Lin Yi fall into deep thought.

"We really can't be careless."

Lin Yi talked to himself, with a hint of crisis in his tone.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly smelled a burnt smell.

He frowned, sniffed the air, and asked in confusion: "Why is there a burnt smell?"

When he looked at the stove, his face turned ugly in an instant, and he suddenly remembered that he was cooking.

"Oh shit! My fish—"

Lin Yi's roar was heard from the kitchen, followed by a flurry of activity.

……

In the spacious and bright living room, sunlight shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows onto the soft carpet, adding a touch of warmth to the interior.

Ruan Yaoyao and Ruan Wen, mother and daughter, sat quietly on the sofa. Their eyes were all directed towards the kitchen, revealing deep thought.

Because the flight was delayed, Ruan Wen had just arrived in the imperial capital from her hometown by plane.

However, the match between Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao was over.

This accident prevented her from being there to cheer for her daughter and future son-in-law in person, and she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

Traffic in the capital was extremely busy during the competition, and Ruan Wen encountered severe traffic jams on the way to the Bird's Nest.

When she hurriedly took a taxi to the Bird's Nest, the morning game was almost over.

When Lin Yi learned of her arrival, he enthusiastically offered to prepare a sumptuous lunch for his mother-in-law to express his welcome.

After all, the fact that he and Ruan Yaoyao have been able to get to this day and have not been beaten to death by Ruan Tianli, in addition to the deep feelings between them, is also largely due to Ruan Wen's long-term support and protection for him.

Ruan Wen once offered to help prepare lunch, but was rejected by Lin Yi.

This mother and daughter who have not seen each other for a long time really need a private space to share their lives with each other and express their longing for each other.

So, the current situation came about like this.

Ruan Wen finally couldn't help but ask, "How about I go and help him?"

However, Ruan Yaoyao reached out to stop her mother, shook her head gently, and said, "Forget it, Mom."

Then, she explained softly, "Lin Yi doesn't like to be disturbed when she's cooking."

"Oh?"

Ruan Wen suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting and a gossipy smile appeared on her face.

"Eh? Why are you still calling him by his full name? You know, he has always called you 'Yaoyao' affectionately since he was very young~"

This sentence was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but blush slightly, and she shouted with a hint of anger: "Mom!"

Then he whispered:

"Then what else can I call him? Xiao Yi? Yi Yi? Wouldn't it be too awkward to call him that?"

Ruan Wen smiled even more happily. She put her index finger to her lips, with a mischievous light in her eyes: "What's the big deal? Why don't you just call him husband~"

"Mom—I don't want to care about you anymore!"

Ruan Yaoyao immediately turned her head away angrily and snorted angrily.

Ruan Wen smiled and held her daughter's hand. Looking at her precious daughter's red face, her eyes gradually softened.

"In just a blink of an eye, my daughter has grown up to be so beautiful..." There was a hint of emotion and pride in her tone.

Ruan Yaoyao looked at her mother with complicated eyes and called softly, "Mom..."

Ruan Wen suddenly changed the subject, a sly smile appeared on her face, she looked at her daughter with a playful look, and asked softly:

"Then how did you call Lin Yi at night?"

There was a hint of teasing in her words, as if she was deliberately teasing her daughter to see how she would react.

"Dead ghost? Baby? Honey? Don't be shy, I'm an experienced person."

Ruan Wen continued teasing, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

Just then, Lin Yi's voice came from the kitchen. He said loudly: "Yaoyao said no last night."

Hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao's face immediately turned red with shame. She widened her eyes and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.

"Lin Yi! Don't say anything!" Ruan Yaoyao was filled with shame and anger. She waved her little fists, trying to stop Lin Yi from speaking.

However, Ruan Wen couldn't help laughing out loud, and her laughter was full of kindness and joy.

Ruan Yaoyao was embarrassed and annoyed. She stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "You two really are! I'm not going to pay attention to you!"

After saying that, she turned and ran back to the room.

Ruan Wen looked at her daughter's departing back, smiled and shook her head, then turned to look in the direction of the kitchen with a cunning look in her eyes.

Lin Yi was busy in the kitchen. When he heard the laughter outside, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

That is, if...

He looked at the burnt fish on the plate and couldn't help but sigh.

It would have been fine if the fish wasn't burnt. He hadn't failed so badly in cooking for more than five years.

Ruined reputation——

Damn it! It's all Yu Sheng's fault. He caught my attention.

What's the point of hiding your strength? If I meet you in the future, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!

……

At the same time, Yu Sheng, who was anxiously waiting for Growlithe's treatment at the Pokémon Center, suddenly felt a chill.

He couldn't help but sneeze, covered his nose and mouth with a tissue, glanced at the sky, and tightened his clothes.

"Well, it's winter now, it's time to put on more clothes."

He muttered to himself, seemingly unaware of the reason for his sudden sneezing.
