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

At the same time, Xia Nantian did not slack off at all. His deep and sharp gaze, like an eagle's eyes, was cast on the piles of documents on the desk, and then he narrowed it slightly.

Deep in Bingyi's memory, in the parallel world he came from, there was a famous figure - Liu Qianyu, he was the champion of China.

Oh, to be precise, the former champion.

What is surprising is that Liu Qianyu resolutely chose to resign just three days after winning the championship, and disappeared from the spotlight of that world.

However, in the world where Xia Nantian lives, there seems to have never been any trace of the existence of Liu Qianyu, at least within Xia Nantian's cognition.

If there is another trainer with champion strength in China, given Xia Nantian's status and connections in the trainer field, there is no reason for him to know nothing about it.

In his impression, there are only a handful of trainers in the whole of China who possess championship strength. Apart from himself, there are the respected former champion, Mr. Li Hu, and his old friend Yu Xuan, with whom he has known for many years.

Each of them has a unique status and story in the world of trainers, and this Liu Qianyu, whose authenticity is unknown, is like a meteor that appears and disappears out of thin air, causing Xia Nantian to fall into deep thought.

"A hidden family?"

Xia Nantian frowned slightly, muttered to himself, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his deep eyes.

As he pondered, he slowly reached into his pocket, fumbled in his pocket with his slender fingers, and quickly took out his cell phone.

The phone exuded a metallic luster in his hand. He operated it skillfully, quickly finding a specific number in the address book, with a hint of expectation and determination in his eyes.

Then, he dialed the number without hesitation, tapped his finger on the screen, and waited for a response from the other end of the phone. The air around him seemed to become tense as the call was made.

"Hey?"

……

"What do you mean you can't succeed?"

Ruan Yaoyao's eyes were wide open with flames of anger burning in them. She couldn't help but question loudly. The sound reverberated in the air, filled with resentment and grievance.

"Isn't the mythical beast Jirachi said to have the ability to fulfill all wishes? Why can't it fulfill my wish?!"

Her voice became increasingly high-pitched, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying an accusation of injustice.

The news of Lin Yi's disappearance is like a secret buried deep in the darkness. So far, only a handful of people know about it.

Even if Ye Feng came to ask, Ruan Yaoyao could only pretend to be calm and tried to fool him with a series of laughs and vague words.

Every perfunctory response was like a double-edged sword. While blocking others from exploring her feelings, it also deeply hurt her own heart.

Time passed quietly like running water, and every minute and every second was torture for Ruan Yaoyao.

Her worry about Lin Yi was like a wildly growing vine, tightly wrapping around her heart and almost making it difficult for her to breathe.

It was because of this deep concern that she chose to deny the previous agreement not to use Jirachi's power and find Jirachi here at Mi Yu.

In her eyes, Jirachi is like the only ray of light in the darkness, possessing the magical power to fulfill all wishes.

She was looking forward to using this power to find the missing Lin Yi like lighting a lamp in the fog.

However, fate dealt her a heavy blow at this moment.

What she got was the news that Jirachi could not fulfill her wish.

This news was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.

That was the expectation she had been holding on to for countless days and nights, and she had carefully protected it like a precious treasure, but now it was ruthlessly smashed to the ground.

At that moment, all her hopes shattered like bubbles, and all her worries, anxieties, and despair intertwined together, turning into burning grievances and pains that spread wildly in her chest.

"Ruan Yaoyao, you... you are stunned... calm down!"

Mi Yu's face flushed red as she nervously tugged at Ruan Yaoyao's clothes, urgently persuading her in her not-so-fluent Mandarin.

Her clear eyes were full of worry, fearing that Ruan Yaoyao's impulse would bring about bad consequences.

“Don’t… don’t do this, you’re… scaring Jirachi.”

Mi Yu's voice trembled a little, and she looked at Jirachi in the corner, her eyes full of pity.

Ruan Yaoyao was slightly stunned, and her anger seemed to be paused.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Jirachi, who was shivering in the corner with an apologetic look on his face and fear. His small figure was like a fragile leaf, swaying helplessly in the strong wind.

Ruan Yaoyao pursed her lips, the anger in her eyes gradually died down, replaced by a hint of guilt.

She walked over gently and crouched down slowly, as cautiously as if she were approaching a frightened deer.

She stretched out her small hand, which was full of warmth and comfort, and gently stroked Jirachi's head.

Jirachi's body stiffened, as if a sensitive nerve was touched, but soon, under Ruan Yaoyao's gentle touch, it seemed to feel Ruan Yaoyao's kindness, and its tense body gradually relaxed, and its originally frightened eyes also showed a hint of relief.

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious and scared you."

Ruan Yaoyao's voice became soft and gentle, and her eyes were full of apology.

Jirachi slowly raised his head, his big eyes, like the water of a deep lake, full of innocence and tenderness, looking at Ruan Yaoyao quietly.

Then, it rubbed Ruan Yaoyao's hand gently. The gentle movement seemed to carry a soothing magic, as if telling Ruan Yaoyao that it didn't care about what happened just now and everything was okay.

Ruan Yaoyao's eyes turned slightly red and a little moist.

Guilt surged in her heart like a tide. She knew clearly how terrible her impulsive behavior just now was. Like a reckless child, she almost hurt this innocent phantom beast.

"Yaoyao, Wo... Let's think of a solution. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

Mi Yu spoke softly at the side. Her voice was very light and soft, but it could not hide the bitterness in it.

She looked at Ruan Yaoyao and Jirachi, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Ruan Yaoyao sniffed, trying to calm herself down, and nodded. She looked at Jirachi, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes.

"Well, Jirachi, can you tell us why we can't grant wishes? Is there any restriction?"

[Yaoyao, the wish you made just now was, "Let Lin Yi come back", but I can't feel Lin Yi's presence in this world, as if he is no longer in this world. In addition, the Millennium Comet has not arrived yet, and Jirachi's power is not complete, so I can't help you.]

Jirachi explained carefully using telepathy, and its thoughts were transmitted to Ruan Yaoyao's mind. Every word was like a cold raindrop, mercilessly hitting Ruan Yaoyao's heart.
