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

Lin Guochang frowned slightly, and a deep groove appeared between his thick eyebrows.

He looked at those people seriously with a sharp gaze, a hint of reproach and confusion in his eyes, and asked in a serious tone:

"Why not eat? You should know that we are in a desperate situation now. Everyone needs sufficient physical strength to cope with unknown challenges. There is still a long and difficult road ahead. Food is the key to our persistence!"

The tall woman from before slowly stood up. Her posture was straight, like a flag in the darkness.

There was an incomparable determination in her eyes, shining like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

She said solemnly:

"Sir, Mr. Tang Chen, you need this food more than we do.

Moreover, we may encounter those terrible ultimate beasts at any time along the way. In addition, there are countless other unknown dangers.

You and your Pokémon need enough strength to fight and protect everyone.

And it’s really okay for us to eat less, we can live with it.”

She paused, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and continued:

“Besides, there are so many brothers and sisters and children in the camp who are hungry and waiting for us to return.

When we think of their eager and helpless eyes, how can we have the face to eat here peacefully? Every time we eat a mouthful, the guilt in our hearts will increase. "

After hearing her words, the others nodded, their eyes full of approval. Their unanimous actions seemed like a silent oath, expressing that they had the same thoughts and determination as the tall woman.

"But……"

Tang Chen frowned, his eyes full of worry. He opened his mouth and wanted to continue persuading everyone.

In his opinion, in this difficult situation, food is very important to maintain everyone's physical strength. Without sufficient physical strength, how can we cope with tomorrow's itinerary?

However, before he could finish his words, Lin Guochang said directly: "Then don't eat it."

Lin Guochang's tone was calm and firm, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness.

He knew what was in these people's minds. Although their kindness and selflessness were touching, they were also a bit stubborn at this moment of life and death.

Tang Chen looked at Lin Guochang with some surprise. Lin Guochang nodded slightly, as if he already had his own plans.

Tang Chen sighed helplessly. He knew that now was not the time to argue.

"That's great. I have no appetite, so I won't eat."

Lin Guochang said this indifferently, as if food did not mean much to him at this moment.

When everyone heard what Lin Guochang said, they immediately showed anxious expressions.

That expression was as if he had lost his backbone, and his eyes were full of panic.

The tall woman hurriedly took a step forward and said nervously:

"Sir, you can't do this! You are very important to us. If you lose your strength because you haven't eaten, what will we do?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her words were filled with fear of the unknown and dependence on Lin Guochang.

Others also echoed, persuading each other one by one, with worry in their eyes.

Those pairs of eyes were fixed on Lin Guochang, as if they wanted to convey their anxiety and concern to him through their eyes.

Lin Guochang just shook his head and said calmly and firmly:

"I didn't want to eat anyway. Since you all decided not to eat, I won't eat either."

After saying that, he paused, slowly shifted his gaze away from the crowd, and suddenly changed the subject, looking at the man with the injured leg.

His eyes became serious and unquestionable.

"However, you must eat something since you are injured. You need nutrition to recover now. Only when you are healthy can you not delay the recovery. We cannot let your injuries worsen due to hunger. This is an order."

A hint of hesitation flashed across the wounded man's eyes, and then he shook his head firmly:

"Sir, I can't ask for special treatment. If everyone else doesn't eat, I won't eat either. My injury is nothing. You can't waste food just because of me."

Lin Guochang frowned and said seriously:

"This is not a special case. If your injury gets worse due to lack of nutrition, it will slow down the entire team's progress. We are now racing against time, against dangerous Ultra Beasts and a harsh environment. Do you understand?"

The injured man's lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to want to refute, but when he saw Lin Guochang's unquestionable look, he swallowed his words.

The tall woman advised, "Just eat it, for all of us, and for your own quick recovery."

"Ah."

The wounded man responded softly, his voice full of helplessness.

He knew he couldn't refuse anymore and could only agree. A complex emotion flashed through his eyes, including a desire for food, but more importantly, he was touched by the concern of his companions.

Looking at Lin Guochang's serious and almost cold face, the tall woman was a little dazed for a moment.

Her eyes became a little blurry, and her thoughts seemed to be pulled back to a distant moment.

In the reflection of the jumping bonfire, her eyes revealed a color of reminiscence, her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but murmur:

"Yes, he really looks like King Lin."

The voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed like a breeze could blow it away, but the emotion contained in it was incomparably strong.

"what?"

Lin Guochang frowned slightly, he didn't hear clearly the tall woman's whisper.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes as he looked at the tall woman, trying to find the answer from her expression.

The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to the tall woman.

The tall woman seemed to be suddenly pulled back from some memory, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes. She waved her hands vigorously and said:

"No, nothing. It's just that your serious expression just now reminded me of a person. Everyone respectfully calls him King Lin."

She paused, a trace of nostalgia and shyness in her eyes, and then said:

"I am from Qinghai City, and I am from the same hometown as Lin Guochang Lin Tianwang. A long time ago, I worshipped him to the extreme. That kind of worship was like a flame burning in my heart that could not be extinguished.

I even had a crazy idea, which was to confess my love to King Lin. Now that I think about it, I was so young and frivolous back then."

"Cough-cough-"

When Lin Guochang heard this, he almost choked to death on his own saliva.

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably and he glanced at the woman in astonishment.

He quickly searched his mind for memories of this woman, but found nothing. He thought to himself:

I don’t seem to have any impression of this person at all. Could he be one of the many fans?

Lin Guochang coughed twice, cleared his throat, looked at the tall woman with a tentative look, and asked:

"You should know that Lin Guochang is married and has children, right?"

"Ah? King Lin has a child?"

When the tall woman heard the news, she was obviously stunned, as if she had heard something out of a fairy tale.

An expression of reminiscence appeared on her dusty face and a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she was trying to dig out relevant information from the depths of her memory.

"I only know that he is married to Dr. An Qing. In my impression, both of them are against having children.

As far as I know, Dr. An and Lin Tianwang were still in college when they had an unexpected pregnancy. At that time, they were at a critical period in their lives, and in order not to affect their future, they finally chose to abort the child.

Since then, the couple seemed to have no plans to have more children, and this was known to everyone in our circle.”

Lin Guochang listened to her words and thought to himself:

"So, in this world, Xiaoqing and I didn't keep Lin Yi, but killed him instead?

Although this was an accident, it was understandable considering the circumstances at the time.

After all, at that time, if we gave up our bright future for the sake of our children, it would be a foolish choice, right? "

He frowned slightly, and Lin Yi's appearance appeared in his mind, with a complicated emotion in his heart.

"correct!"

The tall woman seemed to be suddenly struck by lightning. A light flashed in her eyes and she looked suddenly at Tang Chen.

"Before Mr. Tang disappeared, he came to the camp with a young boy. That boy left a deep impression on me because he looked so much like King Lin. I remember his name was... Lin Yi?"
