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

Xingzhu gently embraced the ponytailed girl beside him, and the two of them moved away from the bird's nest and found a quiet meadow to sit down side by side.

The night is as dark as ink, and the vast Milky Way looks like a beautiful painting paved with broken diamonds, stretching freely in the night sky.

Xingzhu looked up at the starry sky, his eyes reflecting the twinkling starlight, yet seemed covered with a layer of faint loneliness, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

"Tenth place, that's pretty impressive."

The girl with ponytail blinked her big watery eyes, tilted her head to look at Xingzhu, raised her hand and gently patted the back of his hand, her soft voice full of comfort.

In the Little Phoenix King Cup, where there are so many top players and the competition is fierce, being able to rank among the top ten is already a proof of outstanding strength, and behind it are countless days and nights of hard training and painstaking tactical preparations.

"It's such a pity that I missed it..."

Xingzhu frowned, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his teeth clenched, his face full of regret and resentment,

"Damn Zhuge An, next time I see you, I'll show you how I'll ..."

Before he could say any harsh words, he suddenly felt something warm on his lips.

For a moment, his brain seemed to crash, his eyes widened, staring blankly at the ponytail girl who was so close to him.

At this moment, the ponytail girl's face was flushed, like a ripe apple. The shyness spread from her cheeks to her ears. Her eyes were closed and her long eyelashes kept trembling.

Xingzhu's eyes softened instantly, and his clenched fists slowly loosened. He gently raised one hand, inserted his fingers into her soft ponytail, and stroked it slowly, his movements so gentle that he was afraid to disturb the sweetness.

The other hand quietly went behind the girl's head, and with a little force, he pulled her closer to him, and then, he opened his lips and slowly kissed her.

The night is gentle and the stars are bright, as if all the noise in the world has quietly retreated at this moment, leaving only the two of them immersed in this sweet moment.

The girl with ponytails was immersed in her lover's passionate kiss, her heart and eyes were filled with love, and the night sky and stars around her turned into the hazy background of her sweet dreams.

After a moment, she slowly opened her blurry eyes, with a hint of intoxication still lingering in her eyes. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing quietly not far away.

She woke up instantly, her heart suddenly tightened, panic and embarrassment surged to her cheeks like a tide, and without thinking, she pushed Xingzhu away.

Xingzhu was caught off guard by the sudden force, and staggered backwards, his face full of shock and confusion, his eyes full of doubts, and he blurted out:

"what happened?"

The girl with the ponytail didn't bother to respond, her slender fingers pointed quickly and panickily behind her.

Xingzhu turned his head to look in the direction she pointed, and saw Jiang Ruoli standing there quietly with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes fixed straight on them, a half-smile on her face with a hint of amusement.

"Wei Li? Why are you…"

Before Xingzhu finished speaking, Jiang Ruoli opened her red lips and said in a clear and playful voice:

"I was afraid that you were upset because you lost the game, so I came here to comfort you."

After saying that, she glanced at the red-faced, uneasy girl with ponytails, her mouth corners slightly turned down, her cheeks puffed up, and she muttered:

"But it seems that I have done too much. You don't need me to comfort you at all."

Xingzhu calmed himself, took a step forward, put his arm around the girl with the ponytail by the shoulders, and gently led her to him. With a happy smile on his face, he introduced her solemnly:

"This is the one I talked about before, my sister Jiang Ruoli, who is a smart girl. Ruoli, this is my precious girlfriend, and she will be the sister-in-law you have to respect from now on."

His words were full of pampering and protection, as if he wanted to give the girl beside him enough sense of security.

After hearing this, the ponytail girl's cheeks became even hotter. She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She quietly reached out and grasped the corner of Xingzhu's clothes. She unconsciously leaned closer to him, shy and well-behaved.

Jiang Ruoli tilted her head and blinked, taking in the two people's little movements. She burst into laughter, and the coldness around her body instantly dissipated. She joked:

"Hello, sister-in-law. It's our first meeting. Don't let my brother bully you. If he dares to do anything bad in the future, just tell me."

The girl with the ponytail became even more embarrassed after hearing Jiang Ruoli's teasing. She buried her head and muttered softly, "How could that be..."

Xingzhu smiled and rubbed the girl's head. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Ruoli's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Oh, sister-in-law looks so shy, no wonder brother is so obsessed with her."

Jiang Ruoli put her hands behind her back and paced around the two of them, her eyes roaming back and forth between them, her mouth still busy,

"But brother, you hid it very well. If I hadn't caught you today, I don't know when I would be able to see my sister-in-law."

Xingzhu shook his head helplessly, pretending to flick Jiang Ruoli's forehead: "You are the only one who talks too much, I am just looking for an opportunity to formally introduce you."

He turned to look at the girl and said softly, "Ignore her. She just likes to make trouble."

The girl nodded slightly, raised her eyes and smiled shyly at Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli stopped joking and looked more serious. She cleared her throat and said:

"The Little Phoenix King Cup has just ended, and the King of Kings Tournament will start soon. The schedule is tight. Besides, grandma is about to retire, and it just so happens that her birthday is coming soon, which is a big deal."

At this point, Jiang Ruoli tilted her head and looked at Xingzhu, her eyes full of questions, "Brother, what birthday gift are you going to give grandma? You have to think about it carefully."

Xingzhu raised the corners of his mouth, outlining a confident smile, raised his hands to hold the girl's shoulders, gently pulled her in front of him, and said with a smile:

"I brought back such a cute and lovely girlfriend. My grandmother will be very happy to see her. This is definitely the gift that suits her best."

When the girl heard this, her cheeks turned red again. She lightly hit Xingzhu in a scolding manner and said coquettishly:

"How can you treat me as a gift?"

Jiang Ruoli watched the interaction between the two from the side, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and joked:

"Sister-in-law, in my heart, you are the most precious 'gift', others can't even envy you."

The three of them chatted with each other, and their laughter drifted away in the night.

……

The backstage was bustling with activity. Staff members were like a swarm of bees, rushing back and forth with dresses and props in their hands. The sounds of debugging equipment could be heard one after another.

The light from the podium seeped in through the gaps in the curtain, shining brightly like a golden waterfall pouring down, making people dizzy and illuminating the stage that was about to bear the glory.

Lin Yi was wearing a slim-fitting suit, with an upright posture, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look extraordinary.

He stood quietly with his eyes lowered, his bony fingers casually fiddling with his cuffs, as if trying to calm his slightly nervous mood.

At this time, Ruan Yaoyao's clear voice came from behind: "Lin Yi!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi turned around neatly, with a hint of surprise flashing across his deep eyes: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Yaoyao's cheeks flushed, her eyes dodged, and after holding it in for a long time, she stammered, "The tie is not tied properly..."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yi's response, he stepped forward and reached out to Lin Yi's collar with his hands trembling slightly.

Being so close, Ruan Yaoyao's breathing quickened. She quietly raised her eyes to look at Lin Yi's face. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and skin that glowed with health under the light, revealing a bit of coldness and dignity.

Her heart was beating uncontrollably, and she was muttering to herself: This guy looks so handsome in a suit...

For a moment, I was a little dazed.

Ruan Yaoyao, immersed in her thoughts, did not notice Lin Yi's frown. When she came to her senses, she saw that he had a bitter face and was full of regret.

She subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yi smacked his lips, completely ignoring Ruan Yaoyao's embarrassment at the moment, and said bluntly: "Yaoyao's black stockings, why don't you wear them?"

These words were like a bolt of thunder, which made Ruan Yaoyao's mind go blank in an instant. Shame jumped from the soles of her feet to her forehead, and her hands shook violently subconsciously.

"Tear!"

The sound was so deafening that she tore her tie and collar apart.
