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

"Hello, I'm...ah?"

Ye Feng looked at the pretty face of the girl who opened the door. He was slightly startled. He pointed at her face and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"How could it be you?"

"Student Ye Feng?"

Nanako was also stunned for a moment, and then her face blossomed with a smile of joy at seeing her friend again, like the warm spring sun, and she said happily:

"long time no see!"

"Well, long time no see."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, his eyes full of surprise.

He really didn't expect to meet Nanako in this place.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she is really the only foreign friend he knows.

"What brought you here?"

Ye Feng's heart was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but ask.

He clearly remembered that in order to enable No. 1 Middle School to achieve better results in all aspects this year, Principal Feng did not hesitate to pay a high price and successfully poached Nanazi, who was originally planning to study in Shanghai, to Qinghai City.

At that time, the overseas students Cai Caizi and Shang Yishan, the transfer student Ruan Yaoyao, plus Lin Yi and Ye Feng, who already had outstanding academic performance, could be said to be the most powerful combination in No. 1 Middle School.

The old principal was also full of confidence at that time. He looked so confident that he almost raised his arms and said proudly, "There has never been such a wonderful start."

However, after the Ultra Beast incident, Nanako was forcibly called back to her country due to her parents' concerns.

Shang Yishan kept repeating "East Wind protects" and resolutely returned to Shuijing Temple without looking back.

Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao, who had made great contributions in the Ultra Beast incident, were awarded the status of Honorary Trainers of China and were qualified for admission, so they started to stay at home and stopped going to school.

Principal Feng originally had high hopes for several people who would be able to revive the glory of No. 1 Middle School. However, not long after, Ye Feng was the only one left to hold on.

After that, the few of them occasionally kept in touch, but overall they were not particularly familiar with each other.

"I came to China with my teacher."

Nanako explained with a smile on her face.

"It was actually the teacher's idea to call you over here."

"teacher?"

Ye Feng frowned slightly. He didn't know who the teacher Nanako was talking about, and he didn't understand why the other party came to him by name. The doubts in his heart enveloped him like layers of fog.

"Just come in and see for yourself."

Nanako did not continue to explain, but slightly turned sideways to make room, then gestured to Ye Feng to let him in.

Ye Feng nodded slightly and walked in with steady steps.

As soon as he entered the VIP room, Ye Feng's eyes were instantly attracted by the two people in the room.

One was a strange woman kneeling gracefully on the sofa. She was wearing an extremely delicate mourning dress. The exquisite patterns on the black fabric exuded a solemn atmosphere, as if telling a profound story.

The other was Ruan Tianli, who was sitting on another sofa with a stern expression.

His face seemed to be covered with frost, exuding a majesty that made people dare not approach him easily.

The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle, as if they had just experienced a tense confrontation, and the air was still filled with tension that had not yet completely dissipated.

Seeing Ye Feng walking in, Ruan Tianli was slightly surprised, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ye Feng subconsciously wanted to reach out and say hello, but when he thought of the outsiders here and Ruan Tianli represented the Four Heavenly Kings of China, he bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"Uncle Ruan... King Ruan."

Ruan Tianli nodded silently and hummed lightly as a response.

After saying hello, Ye Feng turned his gaze to Sakurai Mizuki, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Who is this woman? Why does she seem to be on equal footing with Uncle Ruan?

Ye Feng seldom pays attention to foreign trainers. The last time the newly-appointed champion of Neon Country appeared in the eyes of the world was in the global league a few years ago.

However, because of her bad luck, she ran into the champion of Lao Mei in the first round and was eliminated. Her appearance rate was not high, so Ye Feng had no impression of her at all.

Ye Feng was full of doubts. He had no idea why he was called here, nor did he know what the relationship between these two people was with Nanako's teacher.

After Nanako closed the door gently, she walked briskly to Ye Feng's side and said softly in a low voice:

"Student Ye Feng, this is my teacher, Sakurai Mizuki. You may not know that she is also the champion of our Neon Country."

"Neon's champion?!"

Ye Feng's heart was like a calm lake into which a huge rock was thrown, suddenly causing a huge wave of waves.

His eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't help but look at Sakurai Mizuki carefully again with full concentration.

In his understanding, he always thought that Neon's champion was a rational trainer named Sakurai Kazu.

Ye Feng knew very well that the academic workload in the third year of high school was already extremely heavy, and he had to spend a lot of time and energy on training Pokémon, so he simply couldn't spare any extra time and energy to focus on other things.

Thinking back carefully, he hadn't paid attention to international news for almost a year, and his understanding of foreign countries was still at the same level as a year ago, so he really never expected that the woman with a unique temperament in front of him would actually be the champion of Japan.

Sakurai Mizuki, Sakurai Kazu, hiss…

These two people don't look alike at all, they must be husband and wife.

After all, Ye Feng also knew the traditional customs in Neon. A married wife usually had to take her husband's surname.

but……

Ye Feng slowly lowered his head, his eyes fell on the black kimono on Sakurai Mizuki, his brows tightly furrowed like a tangled rope.

That black kimono, paired with a white inner layer and socks, seems to be the standard mourning wear in Japan, right?

Sakurai Mizuki looked at Ye Feng quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of complex emotions that were difficult to fathom.

She opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but because of the language barrier, she didn't know how to express her thoughts accurately.

Nanako saw this and quickly acted as an interpreter, "The teacher said she's glad to meet you, Ye Feng. She's heard about some of your deeds and is very interested in you."

Ye Feng's doubts grew stronger and stronger. He really didn't understand what he had done to attract the attention of this champion.

With a polite smile, he responded, "Thank you, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Sakurai Mizuki. But I don't quite understand, what do you want to talk to me about?"
