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

The night slowly spreads out like a huge piece of black velvet, gently embracing the entire city.

The imperial capital was sleeping quietly in this gentle black velvet, as if being held in the arms of a kind mother.

However, in this quiet night, the sky above the Bird's Nest Stadium is still brightly lit, like a dazzling night pearl. Its light illuminates every corner of the area, adding a touch of brilliant color to the imperial capital under the night sky.

Although today's event has come to an end, the excitement around the Bird's Nest has not diminished.

The enthusiasm of the vendors remains unabated, and their busy figures moving around under the lights add a bit of vitality to the city's night.

The names and images of the players who shined in the Little Phoenix King Cup have been deeply engraved in the hearts of the people across the country and have become a hot topic of discussion on the streets.

Various peripheral products related to them, such as postcards, posters, etc., have become hot collectibles, and orders are coming in one after another, like long dragons winding in front of the gift shop.

Especially those players who have successfully advanced to the main competition, their popularity has reached its peak and they have become stars in the hearts of countless fans.

Among them, those beautiful and talented girls, their peripheral products were sought after by countless fans and were sold out almost overnight.

Apart from……

"Why is there no Ruan Yaoyao's peripherals?"

In a fairly large gift shop, several dissatisfied viewers approached the shop owner and questioned him.

"How do you run a store like this? Even the eliminated contestants have merchandise, so why don't you have merchandise for Ruan Yaoyao, a cute and powerful girl?"

"Or is it that Ruan Yaoyao is so popular that all the surrounding items have been snapped up by scalpers a long time ago?"

Faced with questions from several viewers, the shop owner put down his work and shrugged helplessly.

"Don't even mention you. We who own shops can't get any goods!"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, several audience members looked puzzled.

"Don't you know?"

The shop owner explained:

"I also heard from my colleagues that it is because King Ruan is a complete daughter-obsessed person and does not want his daughter to have any related peripherals to avoid disturbing her state of mind for the competition."

"So this is ah……"

Several audience members suddenly realized what was going on, but then started complaining again.

"That's such a shame. Such a good girl doesn't have any merchandise to sell. It's such a pity."

"That's right. I wanted to collect a set of her postcards, but now I can't buy them at all."

With that, several viewers left the gift shop.

After all, anyone who knows Ruan Tianli's personality a little bit knows that he is a man of his word and never willing to compromise.

They only dared to complain verbally, and these shop owners and related companies naturally did not dare to go against Ruan Tianli's wishes.

"Hey? Look, is that Ruan Yaoyao?"

As these people walked out of the store, one of them with sharp eyes suddenly noticed something, pointed his finger and exclaimed:

"Look over there! Is that Ruan Yaoyao?"

The group looked in the direction of his finger and found a girl who was particularly conspicuous in the crowd not far away.

She was wearing a white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and had a delicate face and elegant temperament. It was Ruan Yaoyao.

"It's really Ruan Yaoyao!"

Someone shouted excitedly, "Do you think we should go get an autograph?"

"Of course I want to go!"

Another person echoed, "Even if we don't follow her, just because there is no information about Ruan Yaoyao, doesn't it make us look great if we have the signature?"

Others nodded in agreement. They were all Ruan Yaoyao's fans and loved and supported her very much.

But there are also people who disagree and can remain calm.

"But……"

At this time, one of the younger people raised his hand weakly and said,

"But isn't Ruan Yaoyao in the contestant-only channel? If you barge in or force her to sign against her will, you'll be arrested."

"..."

Upon hearing this, several people looked at the security personnel guarding the contestant passage. The rows of security personnel were as tall as city walls, which made people feel intimidated. They couldn't help but fall silent.

Perhaps because they were too focused on the situation for a long time, they attracted the attention of the security guards. They turned around and scanned the men with vigilant eyes.

The dog Pokémon around them also felt the tense atmosphere. They leaned down and made warning gestures, with dangerous red light flashing in their eyes, as if they were ready to pounce on any potential threat at any time.

A tragedy occurred in the Xiao Feng Wang Cup a few years ago. A player was harassed for a long time by a fanatical fan with excuses such as "asking for an autograph" and "asking for a photo", which eventually led to an unfortunate incident.

Since then, security measures for the competition have become more stringent, and security personnel have been particularly stressed before the start of the competition to prevent any contact between fans and players during the competition, and even to take coercive measures if necessary.

Their eyes involuntarily glanced at Ruan Yaoyao who was not far away, and their hearts sank.

What's more, the girl's identity is not ordinary. She is the daughter of Ruan Tianli, which they have more or less heard about.

It is well known to everyone in the alliance that Ruan Tianli is an absolute daughter-obsessed person. If anything happens to Ruan Yaoyao, the consequences will be disastrous.

The furious Ruan Tianli, his power and influence are enough to shake the entire alliance.

If something really happened, I'm afraid no one could stop him.

At the thought of this possibility, the security personnel's nerves became extremely tense. They had to ensure Ruan Yaoyao's safety and not let history repeat itself.

In this situation, several people also realized that their actions might cause trouble for Ruan Yaoyao, and they did not want to become the fuse that triggered the tragedy.

They began to slowly back away, trying not to attract the attention of the security personnel.

"Let's not disturb her. She may need to rest." One of them whispered with a hint of apology in his tone.

"Yes, we can't cause her unnecessary trouble because of our selfishness." Another person echoed.

……

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Ruan Yaoyao's brows, and her keen intuition told her that someone was watching her.

So she turned her head slightly, trying to catch the source of those gazes.

However, when she turned around, those people had already left quietly and disappeared in the bustling crowd.

Just like a gust of wind blowing gently, leaving only a faint trace.

"Did someone ask me something just now?"

Ruan Yaoyao whispered to herself, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her tone.

She scanned the crowd, trying to find some clues, but everything seemed so calm.

There were no strange looks, nor any familiar faces, as if everything that had just happened was just her illusion.

Ruan Yaoyao frowned slightly, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

Do you really think too much?

Maybe those people just glanced at her unintentionally and had no other intentions.

She shook her head slightly and decided not to dwell on the issue anymore.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Lin Yi is still waiting for me."

Ruan Yaoyao said in a low voice, unconsciously quickening her pace.

Her figure seemed particularly light in the night, like a dancing butterfly.

The surrounding lights fell softly on her, lengthening her shadow, as if illuminating the way ahead for her.
