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

Under the skyline of the imperial capital, in the dormitory building next to the Bird's Nest.

"He left in such a hurry..."

Mi Yu stood on the balcony, his eyes swept across the room, where there were still some clothes that Lin Yi had not taken away when he left in a hurry.

She moved her long legs gently, her fingers lightly touching the cold railing, as if she could feel the remaining warmth left by Lin Yi.

Yesterday, Lin Yi suddenly sent a message, telling him that his grandfather was seriously ill and he needed to return to his hometown to visit him as soon as possible.

Without saying much, he immediately packed his bags and set out on his journey home alone.

He left so hastily that he didn't say goodbye to anyone, including Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu.

While in the taxi, Lin Yi sent a message, repeatedly apologizing and explaining that he was temporarily unable to help the two girls deal with their affairs.

Mi Yu expressed her understanding. If it were her, she would not perform any better than Lin Yi when facing her grandmother's illness.

however……

Mi Yu stroked her chest gently and bit her lips slightly, feeling the bitterness of being abandoned.

Suddenly, she heard a noise and turned around to see Ruan Yaoyao - no, it was Ruan Yaoyao who had occupied Mi Yu's body, standing at the door, staring at her quietly with complicated eyes.

Mi Yu felt embarrassed, as if she had done something she shouldn't have done, but she didn't understand why she felt that way.

"sorry."

Despite his confusion, Mi Yu apologized softly, then realized something.

She forgot that Ruan Yaoyao couldn't hear her voice now.

As for herself, she was enjoying the hearing that should not have belonged to her, because she was overwhelmed by the joy of regaining her hearing.

Really... shameless.

The notification tone of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw Ruan Yaoyao motioning for her to check her phone.

Mi Yu picked up his phone and saw the message on WeChat:

[You don't look well, are you okay?]

Ruan Yaoyao's concern was palpable.

Mi Yu smiled slightly, trying his best to hide his inner uneasiness.

[I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night.]

[Me too, I didn’t sleep well last night.]

Ruan Yaoyao smiled awkwardly and scratched her chin sheepishly.

[To be honest, it feels weird to share a bed with someone else.] The “someone else” mentioned here is naturally Mi Meng.

Ruan Yaoyao has been having trouble sleeping recently. Although Lin Yi prepared some sleep-inducing incense for her, the effect was not obvious.

As an only child, Ruan Yaoyao has had her own room since she was young. She is used to sleeping alone and inevitably feels a little uncomfortable sharing a pillow with others.

Plus, she was a bit attached to her bed, so these past two nights, she always tossed and turned in bed for a long time before she could fall asleep, which seriously affected her rest.

However, the night spent with Lin Yi was completely different.

At that time, after being intimate, they would feel extremely tired, accompanied by a sense of satisfaction, and would soon fall into a deep sleep.

Mi Yu was stunned for a moment, and said seriously:

[If Mengmeng affects your sleep, should you ask her to move out?]

Seeing Mi Yu's serious look, Ruan Yaoyao quickly shook her head.

[No, I'm not here to complain. There's no need to bother. I've slowly gotten used to it.]

[I see…]

Seeing Ruan Yaoyao's repeated denials, Mi Yu had no choice but to give up.

[By the way, Mi Yu, why are you in Lin Yi's room?]

Ruan Yaoyao thought of something and asked.

Mi Yu's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

Ruan Yaoyao saw Mi Yu's performance, her eyes drifted, and she seemed to be struggling with a choice in her heart.

Then, Ruan Yaoyao gritted her teeth, let out a breath as if she was relaxed, and walked over with a smile.

"Ugh?"

Mi Yu looked at the obviously forced smile on Ruan Yaoyao's face and couldn't help but take a step back.

Was this a way of expressing her dissatisfaction? As a girlfriend, was she expressing her dissatisfaction with other women approaching her boyfriend rashly?

Seeing Mi Yu's nervous expression, Ruan Yaoyao stopped and the two sides were less than two meters apart.

Ruan Yaoyao lowered her head and typed into her phone.

[Mi Yu, did you know Lin Yi before?]

Mi Yu's eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

Is it true...

Ruan Yaoyao withdrew her gaze thoughtfully. Even she, who was self-aware and knew that her brain was not working well, had discovered some flaws, so there was no reason why Lin Yi hadn't thought of it.

Are you worried about my attitude? Don't want Mi Yu to get hurt? Or both?

When it comes to emotions, whether it's family, friendship, or love, you will become as indecisive as you are now...

This is not like your usual rational self, Lin Yi.

Ruan Yaoyao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt helpless and amused.

Let me help you this time. I'm not as stupid and stingy as you think.

Then she opened her eyes and looked at Mi Yu who was at a loss. Ruan Yaoyao reached out and grabbed her slightly trembling hands, looking straight into Mi Yu's panicked eyes with an extremely serious expression.

[Mi Yu, I have something I want to talk to you about.]

……

Turning our attention to Lin Yi, the plane slowly landed on the land of his hometown. He and his father Lin Guochang had just left the airport together.

The turmoil in the imperial capital was in stark contrast to their current state of mind, and Lin Yi was still completely unaware of what was happening there.

Lin Guochang took a deep breath, and the fresh air of his hometown filled his chest with a long-lost scent.

His eyes revealed deep nostalgia, and he whispered:

"It's been a long time since I came back..."

Lin Yi, a young man who was born and raised in Qinghai City, is not unfamiliar with his hometown in Qilu, but the rural atmosphere there is completely different from the city where he grew up.

Lin Guochang's hometown is located in the rural area of ​​Qilu. Although it is not extremely poor, it is far away from the prosperity of the city.

The Lin family is not of grassroots origin, but has a history of several generations of professional trainers.

Although not as good as those prominent families, it can be considered a wealthy family with some achievements.

There are many members in the family, and uncles and aunts can even be ranked sixth. This is why Lin Yi is always reluctant to go back home during the Spring Festival.

As soon as he returned to his hometown, he would meet relatives whom he rarely saw on weekdays. They always asked Lin Yi with curiosity and a playful heart if he remembered them, which made Lin Yi feel extremely troubled.

However, Lin Yi's grandmother is a genuine rural person. After his grandfather retired, he chose to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, unwilling to cause trouble for Lin Guochang and An Qing in the city.

In fact, Lin Guochang and his wife are busy with work and often have no time to take care of their family, which makes Lin Yi's grandparents feel that life is boring.

So they decided to return to their rural hometown, buy some land, start growing fruits, and live a simple but fulfilling rural life.

Lin Yi's grandparents found their own joy in this land, and they lived a fulfilling life.

Although Lin Guochang was born into a well-off and broad-minded family, such families are often accompanied by a fatal flaw - the old-fashioned and feudal education of children.

This type of educational approach is often characterized by harshness and suppression, and lacks respect for children's personality and interests.

Lin Guochang, as the only son in the family, has been subjected to feudal and oppressive education from his grandfather since childhood.

However, his character was extremely stubborn, like a donkey that refused to bow even when hung up and whipped.

This kind of character made him resolutely go to the unfamiliar city of Qinghai to study alone when he graduated from primary school. He almost cut off all contact with his hometown.

In Qinghai City, Lin Guochang relied on his hard work and persistence to eventually become a respected museum owner and started his own career and life.

However, it was not until An Qing became unexpectedly pregnant and the two began to prepare for the wedding that Lin Guochang, with An Qing's persuasion and help, reconciled with his family.

Despite this, the relationship between Lin Guochang and his father remained complicated.

The conversations between them are often full of sharpness and conflicts, and they even greet each other's ancestors over the phone.

This kind of relationship made Lin Guochang's attitude towards his father full of contradictions and struggles.

Fortunately, Lin Guochang was well aware of the drawbacks of feudal education, so he chose a completely different way of education to train Lin Yi - free-range.

He was worried that he would not be able to educate his children well. After all, he had been a victim of feudal education, and he did not want his children to suffer the same pain.

Lin Guochang's educational philosophy stems from his reflection on past experiences and expectations for the future.

He hoped that Lin Yi could freely depict his own life like a blank sheet of paper, instead of being bound by feudal frameworks.

Because he had been caught in the rain before, Lin Guochang held an umbrella for others.

However, when Lin Yi stole his private money and still argued with a clear conscience, Lin Guochang's heart was full of struggle and frustration.

He began to doubt his own way of education, and even wanted to tear up the umbrella of protection he had opened for Lin Yi, and let the two of them face the ups and downs of life together.

Finally, Lin Guochang gave up helplessly because he found that he really couldn't beat Lin Yi in terms of brainpower!

Anyway, Lin Yi did not break the law, disrupt discipline, or oppose socialism, so Lin Guochang just let him do what he wanted.
