Chapter 273 Zhulan’s Fetching of Water Was in Vain

The misty drizzle kept beating on the eaves and corners of the corridor, and from time to time a dazzling light of lightning pierced the clouds.

zero point.

After Xu Qiansu bathed the Pokémon, she sat on the recliner and used a blower to blow their fur one by one.

Gardevoir, small marsupials, vine snakes, etc. only need to be wiped with a towel. However, Vulpix and Zoroa have soft and supple fur, so they cannot simply be wiped with a towel.

After finishing this, Xu Qiansu did not go to bed directly. Instead, she stood by the window and pondered for a while, then turned and left the room.

"I'll be back later, you guys go to sleep first."

Since he had decided to return to Galar to challenge the alliance, he naturally wanted to ask Cattleya if she wanted to go with him.

With Cattleya's strong possessiveness...well, she shouldn't be worried about him and Ma Li continuing to travel like this.

Thinking about it, Xu Qiansu had already arrived in front of Cattleya's boudoir, opened the door and entered.

The delicate fragrance, accompanied by a bit of wine, reached the tip of her nose. Xu Qiansu frowned slightly, turned her head and looked... and saw nothing.

At midnight, it was raining heavily outside, and there was no moonlight coming through. It was so dark that you couldn't see anything.

Although Xu Qian always has the power of waveguide, it requires concentration to use it. At this moment, there is no need to use the waveguide to see things... He waited in place for a few seconds, and after his vision adapted to the darkness, he slowly walked forward. .

Before he collapsed, he accidentally knocked over something... huh? Small table? Why did you place the small table in front of the bed?

Although she was confused, Xu Qiansu leaned over and took the bottle that was about to fall to the ground without making a sound.

He raised his hand and looked at it for a few times...the empty wine bottle? Cattleya drank?

But it is impossible for Cattleya to drink alone... So Zhulan slept in Cattleya's room again?

Xu Qiansu slowly put down the wine bottle, narrowed her eyes and looked at the bed carefully.

As expected, Zhulan was only wearing close-fitting clothes, lying on her side on the sofa. She held Cattleya's waist with both hands, and a little foot poked out from the quilt without even having time to take off her black pantyhose... Pretty face Reddish, breathing steady.

Zhulan was obviously completely drunk, otherwise she wouldn't have just laid down and slept without taking off her black pantyhose.

Cattleya was sleeping beside her, wearing a skirt, but one shoulder strap slipped off, revealing her smooth skin as white as suet.

His expression was peaceful, but now he looked a little more inexplicably pitiful than his usual strong and fierce self.

She also drank wine and became drunk.

Xu Qiansu knelt down, gently pinched her soft little face, then reached into the quilt... took off her white socks, and covered her with the quilt.

Zhulan was sleeping here, and Cattleya was drunk, so she couldn't talk about anything anymore... Moreover, when Xu Qiansu came here in the middle of the night, she might have wanted to be played by Cattleya again, but it was obviously not possible at this moment.

However, Xu Qiansu took a few glances and found that Zhu Lan was next to Cattleya, but there was quite a lot of space next to her. Cattleya was sleeping on the outermost side, and she might fall off the bed if she turned over slightly.

Xu Qiansu hesitated for a moment, then squatted down, gently pushed Zhulan's shoulder, and called softly, "Miss Zhulan?"

"Hmm..." Zhulan frowned and immediately stopped responding.

It is quite difficult to wake up a drunk person.

Xu Qiansu stopped calling Zhulan. He gently held Zhulan's wrist and moved it away from Cattleya's waist. Then he opened the quilt, put one hand through Cattleya's legs and back, and pulled it away. He hugged him horizontally.

Cattleya frowned slightly, then opened her eyes in a daze.

"...Xu Qiansu?"

She might have drunk less wine, but she wasn't as sleepy as Zhulan, but her voice was still hazy and gentle, as if she was talking in sleep, and she was obviously still drunk.

"You came to attack me at night? How brave..." Even though she was drunk, her voice was soft, and she could still say such words at this moment.

"No night attack, sleep." Xu Qiansu explained softly, then moved her steps to the other one and slowly put her down.

Cattleya was lying on the couch, but her hands were around Xu Qiansu's neck, preventing him from getting up.

She came forward and blew into Xu Qiansu's ear, then breathed Rulan and asked: "No night attack? Why? I'm not beautiful?"

Xu Qiansu glanced at Zhulan next to her, suppressed the heat in her heart, held Cattleya's little hand around his neck, moved it away, then squatted down and whispered softly: "Beautiful, but let's go to bed first, tomorrow night I'll come again."

Zhulan was still sleeping next to her. If she found out, Xu Qiansu would really want to buy a plane to leave the Sinnoh area overnight.

"...Why tomorrow night..." Cattleya gently scratched Xu Qiansu's palm and looked at him with half-open eyes.

"...Huh? Why don't you know tomorrow night..." But Zhu Lan frowned slightly. Hearing the sound, he subconsciously turned around and asked in a daze.

Even Xu Qiansu couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She looked up... Zhulan was still sleeping, and she was just talking unconsciously in her sleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Cattleya holding his hand with her backhand, "You have to leave..."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qiansu suddenly lost his temper.

He glanced at Zhulan, then gently leaned down, biting Cattleya's ear and whispered softly: "Don't make a sound..."

"Um……"

Pa Pa Pa Pa - It rained like a curtain at night, and the majestic raindrops fell from the sky again and again, crashing into Cattleya's seaside villa, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.

Such a luxurious villa, under such heavy rain, looks like an ordinary thatched house, as if it will be washed away at any time.

The gurgling water flows from the corners of the eaves and corridors, along the downward slope, looking for all the gaps that can pass through, and drips onto the ground.

Zhulan frowned and the tip of her nose moved slightly. After a while, her thin eyelids moved slightly and she was about to open her eyes.

After all, she is also a champion of Sinnoh. Her observation and judgment are extremely sensitive. Even when she is drunk, she still has a vague perception of what is happening around her.

But the next moment, a snow-white jade arm reached out from the side and gently tapped Zhulan's forehead.

Along with some fluctuations in mental power, Zhulan's expression instantly turned peaceful... and fell into a drowsy sleep.

How else to say that Cattleya is a bad woman?

Xu Qiansu will always be played by her... no matter from every aspect.

The time turns to one o'clock in the evening.

Rumble.

The rain rustled, and a thunder suddenly sounded, and white light pierced the window, slightly illuminating the room for a moment.

But looking at the huge collapse, only Zhulan was left sleeping in it.

Crunch.

The door closed with a slight sound.

Although it is exciting, it is not always fun.

This seaside villa... the most indispensable thing is an empty room.

Zhulan came to Cattleya for a drink because she wanted to spend some time alone with her best friend before leaving.

But in the end, it was all in vain.

…

This sudden heavy rain stopped at some point.

The morning breeze blew over the sea reflecting the glistening morning light, flowed through the colorful flowers on the branches, and finally blew into Cattleya's boudoir.

The pale golden sunlight came from beyond the horizon, penetrated through the half-opened window, and sprinkled on the brand-new violets on the window edge.

It's already eight o'clock in the morning.

The empty wine bottles, snacks, etc. on the small table have been cleared away, and the slight aroma of wine lingering in the boudoir has completely dissipated.

Rustling.

Zhulan opened her eyes vaguely and looked around blankly... Last night, someone seemed to have been here and pushed her and called her name?

Is there such a thing? It seems there is, and it seems there isn't.

If so, who? Xu Qiansu, right?

Um! Xu Qiansu! ? He has been here! ?

Thinking of this, Zhulan's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She quickly sat up, lifted the quilt and took a look, then gently stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She yawned and rubbed her slightly sore head, thinking that it was really uncomfortable to be drunk and she didn't know why so many people liked drinking.

She lay down again, obviously still a little sleepy, and stared at the soft curtain at the top. She was lost in thought for a while, then turned around lazily and pushed Cattleya beside her, "Cattleya Ya, Cattleya...now..."

As she said that, she fumbled for a while, pulled out her phone, and then continued to push Cattleya, "It's eight o'clock, get up quickly."

"Ugh..." Cattleya was obviously very tired. She just whimpered, turned over, and pulled the quilt, but there was no reaction.

Zhulan was lying on her side. Because her hair was pressed, she got up and lifted it away. Then she lay down again and said, "You drank a lot last night? Why do you seem to be moaning in the middle of the night?"

Cattleya lazily turned over and faced Zhulan...still didn't speak and was still sleeping. She just stretched out her little hand to push Zhulan as if she was annoyed.

Zhulan chuckled, then looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch Cattleya's face, "The skin is getting better and better, I don't know how you do it."

Seeing that Cattleya wouldn't get up, Zhulan lifted the quilt by herself and stepped on the luxurious carpet with her little feet in black pantyhose.

She turned her head and glanced at the small table that was originally placed in front of the soft table, and was slightly startled.

Xu Qiansu must have really been here and helped them clean up the room.

But he probably only came up to wake them up when it was time for dinner.

Thinking of this, Zhulan felt completely relieved.

It's just... um... Zhulan lowered her eyes and her pretty face suddenly turned red. She thought to herself that she had been becoming more and more unruly recently.

She came to the wardrobe and changed into brand new clothes. Then she took a bamboo basket and put on a complete set of clothes that she had changed. Then she picked up the white dress that Cattleya had thrown on the ground like rags, slightly crooked. He twisted his little face.

In her daily life, Cattleya strictly practices the aristocratic etiquette she has learned since childhood.

It is absolutely impossible for Cattleya to have a bad habit of throwing clothes away like this, but considering that Cattleya was drunk last night, Zhulan no longer cares about such trivial details.

She pushed open the door, exposing a gap, stuck her little head out, looked around a few times to make sure Xu Qiansu was not there, then hurriedly came to the laundry room holding the bamboo basket, stuffed the underwear into the washing machine, and felt slightly relieved. .

I thought that living with a man would have all kinds of inconveniences, but this was a biological difference and human nature, so it didn't matter.

She walked to the bathroom. After washing up, she combed her slightly messy blond hair with a comb. Then she looked at herself in the mirror and inexplicably stretched out her little hand, held her blond hair, and tied it up like Cattleya. The unique braids, I thought, are worthy of me, and can be easily styled no matter what hairstyle.

She turned around a few times, looked at herself a few times, and then untied her braid.

Although she really wanted to have the same hairstyle as Cattleya, Cattleya obviously wanted to use this to put her own stamp on Xu Qiansu... In other words, this was Cattleya and Xu Qiansu's couple's hairstyle, so what was she trying to do? lively?

As Cattleya's best friend, she should avoid suspicion.

Zhulan reached out and stroked her blond hair before leaving the bathroom and coming to the living room.

But he saw Ma Li sitting on the sofa, holding the Book of Nobles that she had won during the winter camping trip, studying it carefully.

A brand new magnolia flower lies in a vase on the coffee table.

The pale golden warm sun shines on her delicate profile. Even Zhulan has to admit that although Ma Li is still young and a bit immature, her appearance is really not bad, no matter how cute she looks.

It's a shame that Cattleya was able to snatch Xu Qiansu away from Ma Li.

Hearing the sound, Ma Li looked up and asked, "Miss Zhulan, are you a little lazy in bed today?"

"I had some wine with Cattleya last night." Zhulan walked to the sofa and poured herself a glass of water.

Ma Li stretched her fingers on the paper of the Book of Nobles and said calmly: "There is still breakfast in the kitchen."

She and Xu Qiansu had already eaten.

Zhulan nodded slightly, glanced around, and then asked, "Where is Xu Qiansu?"

"After dinner, we went outside to train."

Zhulan nodded slightly, not too surprised.

When she was ten years old, she was still traveling to various places in Sinnoh. At that time, she often trained as hard as a simple person.

However, nowadays, it is difficult for her Pokémon to make great progress just by relying on pure training, so it is rare to see her training like this...but she still does the most basic warm-up training every day.

She drank the hot water in the cup in one gulp, then stepped forward to open the door and came outside the villa.

The heavy rain has stopped, and the fresh air after the rain is everywhere outside the villa.

Zhulan took a few deep breaths, and her mind suddenly cleared up, and the drowsiness after drinking no longer existed.

She turned her head and looked, and saw that Xu Qiansu was training with the Pokémon in the courtyard of the villa... Mali's Pokémon were also there, and even her own Togekis was mixed in.

Zhulan folded her arms and paused for a while, then stepped forward and asked, "Do you need some training?"

Xu Qiansu stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Zhulan, and thought of last night... feeling a little strange in his heart.

He brushed away the distracting thoughts in his mind and smiled, "Being able to be trained by Miss Zhulan is an opportunity that many trainers dream of."

"Cherish it if you know it." Zhulan's beautiful and delicate eyebrows curved slightly and she smiled. Today, Xu Qiansu will no longer be polite to her, and she will naturally not look harsh.

"Pokkisi, come here." Zhulan waved slightly and looked at the small plane mixed in Xu Qiansu's pile of Pokémon.

"Boku Boku~" Pokkisi spread his wings, stepped on the water on the ground with his short legs, came to Zhulan, and raised his little face to look at her.

Zhulan stretched out her hand and pinched her little face, "It rained so heavily last night. Where did she go to play?"

Pokkisi pointed at the sky, and then tilted his little face, looking stupid and cute.

"Really?" Zhulan couldn't help but chuckle softly, patted Pokkisi's little head, and then looked at Xu Qiansu, "While I still have some time, I can practice with you for two days."

"Although Cattleya is only the Four Heavenly Kings of Hezhong and not like a champion, she seems to be much more leisurely than you." Xu Qiansu did not start directly, but walked closer and said.

Zhulan tilted her head and looked at Xu Qiansu, "You want her to accompany you to Galar?"

The purpose behind Xu Qiansu's question was immediately apparent.

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, but did not deny it... I was too busy last night, but in the end, I didn't have time to ask anything.

Zhulan couldn't help but laugh. She had been worried about whether Xu Qiansu would cheat on her while traveling with Ma Li... Now Xu Qiansu's attitude was obviously correct by Cattleya.

She shook her head gently, "Although Cattleya seems to not care about anything and doesn't pay attention to the status of the Four Heavenly Kings of United Nations, that's not true. Her education since childhood has allowed her to always maintain her pride and sense of responsibility as a noble... ...She manages the affairs in her own territory in an orderly manner, and the work of the Four Heavenly Kings of United Nations is naturally the same..."

"...In fact, Adek, the champion of the United League, is the one who basically doesn't care about the league as you think. Cattleya complained to me several times."

Xu Qiansu thought about it for a while and thought, if Cattleya really doesn't care about anything, even if she can still maintain her identity as the Four Heavenly Kings, she still cannot be the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"So she is free just because she happens to be relatively free during this period?" Xu Qiansu asked thoughtfully.

"It doesn't count, it's just that Cattleya is very capable and can handle any task with ease, so she earned this time by herself... But part of the reason is that the work of the Four Heavenly Kings is indeed not as heavy as mine. Basically The Four Heavenly Kings of each region have time to run around the world, but not our champions...well, except for Daigo." Zhulan said while caressing Pokkisi's little head.

"But are you so reluctant to part with Cattleya?" Zhulan tilted her head to look at Xu Qiansu and joked.

"If possible, I hope to take her with me wherever I travel, not just Galar."

"How greedy, I already have Ma Li."

Hearing this, Xu Qiansu was silent for a while, and then shook her head slightly, "Miss Ma Li and I do have a very good relationship and are my best friends, but that doesn't mean I should leave Cattleya here alone. "

"You have been traveling for so long, you should know that this kind of separation is normal."

"Cattleya is always special."

Zhulan was slightly startled, then reached out to pull the broken hair around her ears, and then waved to Xu Qiansu, "Go and talk to Cattleya about the specific situation. According to my experience, she may not be able to do what Ma Li did. But it’s not as busy as me. I think you should get together more and stay apart less every year... Let’s start training.”

"OK."
