Chapter 141 Finally, we've got one together!
evening,
The orange-red sunset covered half the sky, as if someone had spilled a palette of paint.
In the villa garden, Qiao Yijing, wearing a light purple dress and with her hair up, revealing her slender neck, stood in the center of the garden directing the Pokémon to set up the area.
Ice Nine-Tailed Fox used its mental power to control the arrangement of ribbons. Its nine tails behind it acted like conductor's batons, simultaneously manipulating several ribbons to weave through the branches and tie one bow after another.
The jellyfish carried the plates back and forth, quickly filling the table. Butterflies flew around, placing the fresh flowers they had picked into vases, arranging them in a pleasing and orderly fashion.
Lin Ye's Azure Flame Blade Demon found a corner by himself, set up a barbecue grill, turned the flames on his twin blades to the lowest setting, and started grilling skewers.
Although it has no five fingers, it still manages to complete the steps of flipping, brushing on sauce, and sprinkling ingredients in one go with its superb knife skills.
"That's about it. Little Diamond, could you please go and call Lin Ye?"
Because Lin Ye had been too busy these past few days, Qiao Yijing told him to take a nap after he returned, while she set things up in the courtyard, finishing close to dusk.
When Lin Ye came downstairs, the garden was already lit up with warm yellow string lights, like stars falling on the branches.
The long table was filled with skewers grilled by Azure Flame Blade Demon, salad made by Qiao Yijing, cake baked by Jili Egg, and iced drinks specially made by Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.
Several Pokémon emerged from the shadows. Gastly was the first to fly to the dining table, its large hand reaching for the food, but it was stopped by Joyce.
"Wait a minute~, not everyone's here yet!"
"Who else~"
"I just notified my two roommates, they should be here soon."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Jingjing, we're here."
The courtyard gate was pushed open, and two beautiful figures appeared before Lin Ye.
"Huh? Officer Jenny and Naki, I didn't expect Jingjing to invite you. But you said before!"
"Oh dear, although we have some disagreements, it's just normal competition between childhood rivals, not some deep-seated hatred."
"And Officer Jenny really helped you a lot in this election for the club president, so I couldn't be stingy and invited her too. As for the two roommates I mentioned earlier, they should be next."
"Alright, Jingjing, you and Ranran grew up together, so you must care about her a lot. I think even without her help, you would most likely have invited her anyway."
Naki said jokingly, clearly she had a good relationship with both of them and knew that their relationship wasn't actually that bad, they were just competing with each other.
"I often think that even someone as skilled at disguising myself with a suit would find it difficult to learn how humans can conceal their true feelings," Mimikyu said, suddenly marveling at the complexity of humanity.
Meanwhile, the sniper tree owl had already silently flown to the trees in the courtyard, blending into the lush canopy.
"We're about to eat, why are you flying so high?"
"I disdain participating in such bourgeois hedonistic activities."
"But I heard that this vanilla cake incorporates some succulent syrup, which is said to greatly improve the physique of Grass-type Pokémon~~"
"In fact, filling one's stomach is also a crucial part of the revolutionary cause!"
"Oh, right, Lin Ye, could you go and get that bottle of Blue Fever from the top shelf of the fridge? We're all having a good drink today."
"Oh, you're not talking about those bars with complicated production processes that are only available in small quantities to your Joey clan, are you? You're really generous with your resources," Officer Jenny said.
"Hmph, don't look down on me. The bottle you brought over is just as valuable as mine."
…………
Just as Lin Ye went in to get the wine, two more girls came in hand in hand, looking quite friendly.
"Oh, Haruka and Hikaru, you two came back together today."
"Yes, we heard that you're throwing a party to celebrate your boyfriend becoming a 'Gym Leader' level Trainer, so we went to pick out gifts early."
"Hey, you two, why are you being so polite with me? Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to some friends."
"Oh, Miss Officer Jenny~"
"Sister Naki~~"
"Oh, we all know each other! It seems our world is really quite small!"
"Perhaps this is what they call that outstanding people always attract each other, which is why you found such an amazing boyfriend, Jingjing."
A "Gym Leader" level trainer at such a young age! Even my partner hasn't reached that level yet, but I believe he'll be soon.
"What, Xiaoyao, are you planning to have your boyfriend compete against Jingjing's boyfriend?" Xiaoguang covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Hehe~, right now, he hasn't reached the 'Gym Master' level yet, but I believe that with his potential, he will definitely not lose to anyone in the future, including my dad."
"He's no less than Master Qianli! It seems Xiaoyao has a lot of confidence in him. I'm getting more and more curious to meet him."
By the way, Xiaoguang, have you made any progress with that guy you mentioned before?
Xiao Guang nodded, his face slightly flushed, "Hmm~, thanks to your suggestions, I took the initiative to create a romantic and quiet environment, and now we've made a substantial breakthrough."
"See? I told you, there's no way any guy could resist the advances of a cute girl like you, Hikari."
Watching the three sisters, immersed in a romantic atmosphere, sharing their stories, Naki suddenly felt a little lonely:
"Sigh, I really envy you guys. You can be free to be with the people you love, while my family is forcing me to marry a perverted sissy."
"Don't worry too much. You've already come all the way here, which shows how you feel."
The Liuli family is a respectable family, so I don't believe they would come after us relentlessly.
By the way, Naki, you've met my boyfriend before. What did you think of him? Why don't you just move in and become my real "sister"?
"Hey Qiao Yijing, what you're saying is a bit outrageous, isn't it?!"
"Don't pretend to be shocked. As a member of Officer Jenny's family, don't you know about the special circumstances of our two families?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant, besides Naki, haven't you even considered being 'sisters' with me at all?"
"Oh, I knew you were so enthusiastic about helping him apply for the position of museum owner because you had ulterior motives. It turns out you've been eyeing my boyfriend all along."
Qiao Yijing said angrily, "Just give up on that idea. I've considered many people for this, the first being Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang."
After all, we've been living together for a while and we've gotten along really well. I wish we could be sisters forever.
"Oh dear, Jingjing, why are you saying these things? My boyfriend might misunderstand if he hears this."
"Yes, even if we get married in the future, we will still be the closest of best sisters."
"Hmm~, although it's a bit of a pity, I'm still very fortunate to have met Lin Ye and you two wonderful sisters."
"Yes, us—what, Lin Ye!"
"Jingjing, how do you know Lin Ye?"
"Clatter~"
The sound of a bottle shattering rang out, and Lin Ye stared blankly at the scene before him!
Feeling like sitting on pins and needles, like having a thorn in one's back, like having a fishbone stuck in one's throat...
