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

(This strawberry cake is a real tutorial I found online, so there may be some deviations. You can actually try making it in real life)

.........

"Wow, it smells good! It smells sweet."

Along with this exclamation, a clear and pleasant voice as beautiful as a silver bell floated over.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the lovely and charming Ruan Yaoyao.

She came into the kitchen with her hands behind her back, hopping like a lively and happy little bird.

Those bright eyes were filled with endless curiosity and desire. He gently poked his head out and looked around, as if searching for some treasure.

"Well, I have done everything I need to do. Now I just need to wait patiently for the cake base in the refrigerator to cool down and set."

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle and kind smile.

He slowly wiped off the remaining flour and water stains on his hands on his apron, and then extended his broad and strong palm towards Ruan Yaoyao.

The clever Ruan Yaoyao understood what he meant instantly and came closer happily, her pretty face filled with joyful anticipation.

"Oh my, it's really challenging to make delicious food for a little foodie like you, little greedy cat."

Lin Yi said jokingly while gently stroking Ruan Yaoyao's smooth hair, his eyes full of love and affection.

"Hehe~"

Hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but let out a naive laugh.

At this moment, her smile is like a gorgeous blooming flower, delicate and fragrant, pure, flawless and innocent.

Ruan Yaoyao's eyes, like bright stars, sparkled with bright light, filled with expectation. She asked eagerly:

"How long do I have to wait? I can't hold back my desire and want to taste it right away!"

Lin Yi gazed at her tenderly and replied gently, "It will probably take about another hour. Please be patient."

Ruan Yaoyao nodded gently and obediently, but her eyes still couldn't help but glance towards the refrigerator from time to time.

At this moment, the kitchen was filled with a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Even the three Pokémon seemed to be influenced by this atmosphere and lay quietly beside it.

The torrid cat seemed to have temporarily put aside the setbacks it had encountered during the previous production. It opened its mouth lazily and yawned loudly.

Ruan Yaoyao looked at these adorable Pokémon in front of her, and a happy smile appeared on her face involuntarily. She lowered her voice and murmured to herself:

"It seems like they are also looking forward to this dessert."

Lin Yi smiled and echoed: "That's right, after the dessert is finished, we can enjoy it together. But..."

At this point, Lin Yi frowned slightly and racked his brains to think about what he had forgotten.

“I always feel like I’m missing something crucial.”

"What was missing?" Ruan Yaoyao asked curiously.

Ruan Yaoyao tilted her head in confusion, looking cute and playful.

"Ring ring ring——"

Suddenly, the cell phone in Ruan Yaoyao's pocket rang, and the crisp ringtone broke the silence in the kitchen.

Ruan Yaoyao answered the phone in front of Lin Yi. As the call progressed, her expression gradually became ugly.

Lin Yi's heart was also lifted up, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Yaoyao put down the phone, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her voice was somewhat helpless:

"The Xiao Feng Wang Cup organizers called me and told me that I have a match this afternoon."

"what?"

Lin Yi opened his mouth in surprise.

"I think I'm going to be late."

Ruan Yaoyao's tone was full of anxiety.

"ah???!!!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened in shock at the sudden news. He had been busy making desserts and had really forgotten about it.

For a moment, the warm atmosphere in the kitchen was replaced by tension and panic.

Lin Yi pulled off her apron and said anxiously, "Hurry up, we can't delay your game."

Ruan Yaoyao also panicked and followed Lin Yi to rush out the door.

The three Pokémon looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, but they also felt the tense atmosphere and hurriedly followed.

"Meow?"

The hot cat was stunned for a moment, and its round eyes looked around.

At some point, the once warm and lively kitchen was now empty, with no other Pokémon in sight.

Only the mess on the table lay there quietly, as if telling of the busyness of the group of people just now.

Torracat slowly stood up and let out a loud cry full of confusion.

"Meow?!"

Where are the people? Where did everyone go?

At this moment, Gyarados, who did not leave with the main group, but resolutely decided to stay in the yard to accompany his wife, carefully leaned its huge head against the window frame of the kitchen, and then burst out a low and powerful roar from the depth of its throat.

"Roar……"

The roar was like a thunder that split the sky, deafening.

Gyarados seemed to be conveying a message to Tortoiseshell beside him: those guys just now left in a hurry.

Hearing this sudden roar, the Flame Cat was so shocked that his eyes were dumbfounded. His big round eyes were as big as copper bells, and his face was full of disbelief.

It was startled at first, then it took its small and delicate feet and slowly circled around the old wooden table, staggering.

At the same time, it stretched out its pink little paws and gently moved the utensils and various ingredients that had not yet been tidied up.

"Meow..."

Along with a clear and pleasant cry, there seemed to be a hint of complaint in the tone of Flame Cat, as if it was blaming everyone for leaving so quietly.

After a moment, it moved to the window, raised its head high, and stared at the huge monster in front of it with burning eyes.

Gyarados's towering body like a mountain was leaning steadily against the window, and there was a hint of confusion and incomprehension in its eyes.

"Meow, woo, woo!"

Seeing this, Torrecat became extremely anxious and started calling out to Gyarados one after another. Those rapid calls were like surging waves hitting the shore, and as fierce and urgent as a storm, as if it couldn't wait to ask where the big guy had gone.

Gyarados roared again in a deep voice, repeating his previous words once more, letting Torrentine know that they were all gone.

Yanre Miao hung his head, and his mood suddenly became depressed.

It wanted to continue trying to roast, but now that no one was around, it lost interest.

It lay by the window, quietly looking in the direction where everyone was leaving, hoping that they would come back soon.

Gyarados, on the other hand, looked tenderly at the pregnant female Gyarados in the yard and continued to stay with it.

The figure of Yanremao looks a little lonely.

Don't let waiting become a regret.
