Chapter 27: Jiang Xiaoli's Tears

"Are you free tomorrow?" After handing all the items in the bag to Su Xier, Shangguan Chuang looked at Zi Mu and asked, "Tomorrow I will take my sister to look at a house. If you have nothing to do, come with me."

"Oh? You still don't have a place to live? Where did you live yesterday?" Zi Mu carried the incubator containing the Merely sheep elf eggs on his back, and then handed the incubator of Pogamon to Shangguan Chuang.

"Are you staying in a hotel? Or are you staying on the street?" Shangguan Chuang took the incubator and put it on his back. After thinking for a moment, he asked Zi Mu, "Why don't you move out of your home and live with me? We can find a house with three bedrooms. I'll pay for it and the house will be mine. I don't need your money."

"Ah? Living together? How exciting!" Su Xier was tidying up her ring when she heard the two discussing living together. Her eyes immediately lit up with many little stars and she was extremely excited.

"..."

"Okay, Su Xier is also going to look at houses tomorrow. She also just arrived in Tianhai City and plans to settle down for a while. Maybe the three of us will be alumni in the future." After saying that, Zi Mu looked at Su Xier, as if asking for her opinion.

"Actually, I think it's okay for the four of us to live together. After all, we have Shangguan Chuang's sister, so it's okay to live together." Su Xier smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Besides, I don't plan to rent a house. If I have to buy a house, I want to buy a big and beautiful house!"

"Okay, then let's buy a four-bedroom apartment so that we can have more fun together!" Shangguan Chuang said without any hesitation, "It can also be considered as finding a companion for my sister."

Shangguan Chuang couldn't wait to take a few more glances at a girl as beautiful as Su Xier. And she seemed to have a good relationship with his good brother. Even if he couldn't get any advantage, it would be a good thing for him to be able to make Su Xier and Zi Mu's relationship closer.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Su Xier just smiled lightly, and then said coquettishly: "Go back! Go back! It's getting late, and we have to get up early tomorrow morning to look at houses!"

"Okay, Shangguan Chuang and I will take you back first."

...

Tenkai City

Inside Zimu's house

Zi Mu looked at the incubator in front of him, carefully opened the nutrient solution, and then placed it upside down in a groove on the incubator, like a water dispenser.

Watching drop by drop of nutrient solution merge into the "amniotic fluid" in the incubator, the faint pink light emitted by the elf egg of Meely the sheep became brighter and brighter.

Zi Mu touched the elf incubator with relief, walked out of the house with satisfaction, and said to Jiang Xiaoli who was doing yoga in the living room: "Mom, I'm going to go look at houses with Shangguan Chuang tomorrow. His sister was admitted to Tianhai Intermediate Elf College. He wants to take his sister to settle down in Tianhai City, and he also invited me to live with him."

"Oh? Wouldn't that be a bit inconvenient?" Jiang Xiaoli continued to do yoga and said nonchalantly, "If you think there's nothing wrong with it, just move in. It's in Tianhai City anyway. Just remember to come back and see me every day."

"It's okay, Mom. There's nothing wrong." Zi Mu walked forward, put his hands on Jiang Xiaoli's shoulders, and gently massaged Jiang Xiaoli. "And it's not just me. The girl from today may also want to stay here. The three of us are planning to apply for Tianhai No. 1 Elf Academy. There should be a great chance that we can become alumni!"

Hearing "girl", Jiang Xiaoli instantly perked up and stopped doing yoga. She let Zi Mu massage her, then pretended not to care and asked, "Oh, that's fine. It's good to have a companion when four of us are together. How much did you spend today? Do you have any money left?"

"Well... one more thing. I bought a high-end incubator and nutrient solution, so the elf egg of the Merely Sheep only cost 10 yuan." Zimu replied very "honestly" without blushing at all. "Oh, by the way, Xiaohuo's talent has been restored, and my elf affinity has also returned to normal!"

"Hmm? Pretty good... What? After hearing that Xiaohuo and Zimu's talents have returned," Jiang Xiaoli's forced calmness suddenly dropped, her eyes widened, staring at Zimu, "You...you didn't lie to mom? You and Xiaohuo...are you really recovered?"

Zi Mu's talent has disappeared for nearly a year. Although his affinity with elves is still increasing at a very slow rate, it is still far behind that of ordinary people. For the previous Zi Mu, it is even more different...

After the Zi family gave up on treating Zimu, Zichao and Jiang Xiaoli did not give up, but kept asking for help everywhere. Even now, Zichao is still looking for ways to restore Zimu's talent in other areas. Although this family seems happy on the surface, and Jiang Xiaoli looks carefree all day long, in fact, Zimu's sequelae have always been a big knot in Zichao and Jiang Xiaoli's heart.

"Yes!" Zi Mu responded to Jiang Xiaoli with a firm look, took out the elf encyclopedia, and shared the data of Strong Chicken with her. "This is the data I just updated for Xiao Huo today. Speaking of which, I have to thank Su Xier... the girl I told you about today. She is an intermediate elf breeder. Xiao Huo's recovery is inseparable from her treatment. She also gave me a free appraisal..."

Jiang Xiaoli took out her own atlas with trembling hands, received the data of Lizhuang Chicken, and read the information of Lizhuang Chicken word by word.

"Okay... okay..." Jiang Xiaoli looked at the message from Lizhuangji, her small lips trembling slightly, and two crystal drops of tears slowly slid down her face that was helpless against the years, leaving two tear marks.

According to the information feedback in the illustration, the level of Brachycephalus has reached level 17. As a high-level Pokémon trainer, Jiang Xiaoli can certainly guess Zi Mu's lowest Pokémon affinity - the lowest is 18 Pokémon affinity.

Before Zimu brought the level 14 Fire Chicken into the forest, he only had 16 elf affinity. In three days, he increased his elf affinity by 2. This is enough to show that the son who made him and his lover feel sorry for him has regained his talent...

"Okay... Your dad will be very happy when he finds out." Jiang Xiaoli wiped her tears with her hands, hugged Zimu into her arms, stroked Zimu's hair, and said gently, "Now, your dad and I can finally put our minds at ease... You don't know how haggard your dad has been in these past few months because of you..."

Zi Mu hugged his mother with both hands, his eyes were a little red, but he could only keep comforting the sobbing Jiang Xiaoli, "Don't worry, Mom, I will work harder and get all the responses I owe you! Let all those people in the Zi family who look down on us look up to me and apologize to our family!"
