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

Mi Yu couldn't help but feel pity and wanted to comfort the poor boy in front of him, but he didn't know where to start.

After a moment of silence, Mi Yu finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"Then what are your plans now?"

Lin Yi turned around and looked at Mi Yu, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes:

"I don't know either. Maybe I can only wait here until dawn, and then find a way to go home."

Mi Yu thought for a while and suggested:

"Why don't you go to my house first? Even though it's a little shabby, it's better than staying here overnight."

Lin Yi looked at Mi Yu with some surprise. He didn't expect that she would invite him, a stranger, so enthusiastically.

But he still shook his head and said:

"No, I don't want to cause you any trouble. Besides, I'm not very familiar with the roads here. It would be even more troublesome if I got lost."

Mi Yu said quickly:

"It's okay, I can take you back. And it's just one night, it won't cause me too much trouble."

Lin Yi hesitated for a while, and finally nodded:

"Then trouble you."

Mi Yu smiled and said:

"It's just a small thing, I'm really happy to be able to help you. My mother always taught me: 'You must help others within your ability'."

"Uh……"

After hearing what Mi Yu said, Lin Yi suddenly fell silent.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Mi Yu noticed the suspicious expression on Lin Yi's face, and couldn't help but shrink his neck and test it cautiously.

"Did I just say something wrong?"

"No, I just think that every family's education methods are very different."

Lin Yi shook his head gently, showing a helpless expression.

"My dad never specifically asked me to help others. He would just tell me, 'Whoever dares to mess with me, I will beat him up!'

My mother always said: "If someone looks down on our family, we should hit them in the face with our strength!"

The main educational style in our family is "Ulla!"

"..."

Mi Yu was so shocked by Lin Yi's words that he was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After Mi Yu finally wiped off the cold water on her clothes, Lin Yi silently pushed the big suitcase and followed closely behind her.

Along the way, they chatted animatedly, and Mi Yu gradually let down his guard and began to open up to Lin Yi.

After all, they are still students, and the conversation ended up talking about school and study.

"I see, you're number one in the class! So you must be very good at theoretical subjects, right?"

Lin Yi was very surprised. He never expected that the girl in front of him was so outstanding.

"It's just good luck."

Mi Yu shook her head gently. She didn't even realize that she had shared so much with someone she had just met.

Talking to Lin Yi is a very interesting thing, at least in Mi Yu's eyes.

He did not treat her with malice like his classmates, nor was he like those adults who, even though they had touched someone's pain points, thought it was just a trivial matter and did not take it to heart at all.

Lin Yi's topics always revolved around the areas that Mi Yu was interested in, such as how to get along well with classmates, or hearing aids in the ears, etc. These were topics that Mi Yu rarely touched upon, and Lin Yi would not take the initiative to mention them.

"In the summer before our senior year, we will be able to have our first Pokémon! If you were to choose, which one would you prefer?"

Looking at Mi Yu, who finally showed a bright smile and had an excited expression on his face, Lin Yi couldn't help but lower his eyes slightly, as if he recalled something, and his heart sank.

But soon, he regained his composure, raised his head again and smiled as he answered:

"Normally, my father is best at water-type Pokémon, so he should prepare a water-type Pokémon for me. However, I personally think there may be a better option."

"Oh? What's it like?"

"For example, Blazing Roaring Tiger? Do you know how much value this so-called 'number one Pokémon in the universe' actually contains?!"

Lin Yi's tone seemed particularly matter-of-fact.

"Uh... I know, I know."

It’s just that sometimes, Mi Yu couldn’t fully understand what Lin Yi meant.

After all, in her opinion, although the Blazing Roaring Tiger, as one of the three great families, possesses certain strength, it is still far from reaching such an exaggerated level, right?

Although Mi Yu couldn't understand, he was deeply shocked in his heart, so he could only nod silently to show his agreement.

"Let's not talk about me, what about you?"

"Ugh?"

"Ugh what? I mean what Pokémon do you want?"

"…I may not be able to be a trainer."

"Why? Aren't you number one in the class?"

"My family is not well off, and we don't have enough money for me to become a trainer."

Mi Yu smoothed the hair on her ears and looked away.

"After all, being a trainer is very expensive. I might become a breeder or researcher in the future. These two professions are relatively profitable."

Lin Yi was silent for a while and asked seriously.

"So do you want to be a trainer?"

"..."

Mi Yu, who was walking in front, did not respond.

Lin Yi then asked, "Let's not consider other situations for now. If you really become a trainer, what Pokémon would you want as your starting Pokémon?"

"Just if..."

Mi Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Ditto, it has a very high standard and is very cute."

"That's it..."

Lin Yi nodded silently and said nothing more.

When they finally arrived at Mi Yu's house, the night was already as dark as ink, and the moonlight was like water falling on the silent street.

It was a low, old apartment building, showing signs of age.

Mi Yu gently took out the key, opened the door skillfully, then smiled and invited Lin Yi into the house.

Although the room is not spacious, every corner is decorated particularly warm and pleasant.

Warm lighting illuminates the entire space, giving people a homely feeling.

"Sister, why did you come back so late today...Ah! Who are you!?"

A little girl who looked slightly similar to Mi Yu poked her head out of the room. She wanted to complain, but was suddenly stunned when she saw Lin Yi standing at the door.

Lin Yi waved his hand in a friendly manner and said softly:

"hello."

However, the little girl seemed to be frightened. She quickly retracted her head, rushed into the room like a gust of wind, and locked the door tightly.

After completing this series of actions, she sat down on the bed as if relieved, stroking the hideous and ugly birthmark on her forehead, muttering to herself:

"What a stupid sister, she didn't even say hello before bringing her friends home..."

Lin Yi silently put down his hand and turned to look at Mi Yu with some embarrassment.

"Did I scare her with my actions just now?"

A trace of doubt and worry arose in his heart.

Is this the first time we met and I'm hated? Am I that scary?

"No, she's my sister Mi Meng, she's just a little...shy?"

Mi Yu did not tell Lin Yi about Mi Meng's birthmark. After all, this was something she was very reluctant to mention.

"Yuyu, why are you so late today?"

It seemed that I heard some noise coming from the door, and a woman who seemed to be washing clothes in the bathroom came out.

From Mi Yu's gentle face that is similar to hers, it can be seen that the beautiful woman in front of him is Mi Yu's mother, Mi Luoqi.

Although the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes add traces of time, their flaws do not outweigh her merits and cannot conceal her gentle and virtuous temperament.

"This is... your friend?"

Miloqi wiped the water off his hands and looked at Lin Yi with surprise.

"Um, hello, auntie!"

Lin Yi greeted politely.

"Mom, it's like this..."

Mi Yu walked forward and explained.
