The nights in the Alola region are very refreshing. There are relatively few high-rise buildings in the cities. The outdoor areas occupy a large area and lack light pollution. The night sky is extremely bright, and the Milky Way sheds a little light.

But the ocean is dark and dim, but from time to time tens of thousands of lantern fish groups pass by the sea surface, and it becomes crystal clear again.

On the edge of the four major islands, there is an artificial island with an extremely large area and a sense of technology... Ether Paradise, which is the base of the Ether Foundation.

Lusami was wearing a slightly tight white uniform and walked hurriedly towards the airport above the artificial island, her golden hip-length hair swaying behind her.

A mature woman with an extremely charming figure and short brown hair held documents in her arms and followed Lusamine quickly, with a look of surprise on her face, "Why do you want to go back today?"

"Lilia just sent a text message. She will take Xu Qiansu home tonight." Lusamine answered briefly and kept walking. From time to time along the way, uniformed staff stopped and bowed to her. Lusamine Nai nodded in return.

Bi Ke looked stunned and recalled, "Xu Qiansu? Oh~ He... He finally figured it out and wants to come here to be your experimental material?"

Biko and Lusamine have been friends for many years. They are very knowledgeable and serve as branch heads of the Ether Foundation. They have a good relationship with Lusamine, so they have no scruples about what they say.

"What experimental material?" Lusamine glanced at Bigui with dissatisfaction. Although she was almost the same age as Aunt Maria, her glance and smile were very charming, which was completely different from Maria's youthful and lively temperament. "I It won’t kill him.”

"That's not the point. The point is..." Bigui corrected her seriously, "Lilia is your daughter. She traveled alone for so long and finally came back. As a mother, you should have just said, 'Lilia finally came home.'" Yes, I want to go and spend some time with her."

"There is no difference." Lusamine said slightly unconcernedly, "There is no need to pay attention to such trivial details... Just stop here and continue working."

Bi Ke paused and stared at Lusamine's back as she stepped onto the elevator. She couldn't help but stamp her feet and said loudly: "Children are very sensitive! It's just because they are trivial, so you have to care!"

Lusamine waved her hand in a perfunctory manner to indicate that she understood. Without saying anything, Bean pressed the button and closed the elevator door.

"As a mother, I am really incompetent." Bi Ke sighed and tightened the documents in her arms. The extremely spectacular skirt couldn't help but let out a rustling cry, but what could she interfere with?

Lusamine was not like this before, if it weren't for the ultimate cave that left her husband without a trace and unknown whether he was alive or dead...

Bi Ke shook her head and stopped thinking about these old things.

"Biko." On the way back to the research room, a slightly deep voice came from my ears.

Bi Ke turned her head and looked with a frivolous brow, "Zhaobo, what are you doing out here?"

The person in front of me is not as young as Lusamine. He is completely in line with the normal growth trajectory of human beings. When he reaches middle age, he begins to lose his hair and has a very high hairline. He is obsessed with research and ignores his body. He has a lean body, a stooped waist, and wears Wearing a pair of extremely wide orange goggles...

Zaobo, a cadre of the Aether Foundation, has known Lusamine for as long as Bien. He is knowledgeable, is a researcher like Bien, and is also a cadre of the Aether Foundation... He was once a cadre, but now he is just an ordinary person. Researcher Wu Qi should still be in the research room at this moment.

Originally, Biko felt that there was nothing worthy of criticism about her long-time friend, except that he was a bit wretched and looked like a bad guy. However, after Lillie came back from winter camping in Galar at the beginning of the year, she insisted on Lusamine. Obo kicked out the Aether Foundation.

This request is really inexplicable. Lillie only met Zaobao a few times when she was four or five years old. They have no contact with each other, and there is no evidence or basis. Lusamine is suddenly asked to drive away Zaobao. Of course, Lusamine will not Maybe you agree...Zhaobo's level as a researcher is still good. He is a rare talent. There are not many scholars in this world who have researched the ultimate cave, and Zaobo is considered the leader among them.

Although Lillie could not provide evidence or explain why, her attitude was very firm. Lusamine had no choice but to think that Lillie hated Zaob. After all, no matter how unfamiliar she was, she was still her own daughter, her own daughter. He looked like he would hang himself if he didn't drive Zaobo away, so she could only demote Zaobo to appease her daughter.

Zaobao argued with reason, but the Aether Foundation was Lusamine's word, and whatever she said was what she said. However, as compensation, Lusamine also gave Zaobao a large sum of money to comfort him.

A doting daughter is a doting daughter, but official duties cannot be slacked off. Although Zaobo has been demoted on the surface, his prestige and favor in the Ether Foundation are still there for so many years, and this demotion is too trivial, so he has not lost much. Lusamine also thought that it was unreasonable for her to demote someone because Lillie hated him, so she turned a blind eye.

But being demoted was indeed a real thing, so Biko was a little worried that Zaobo would be resentful of Lillie and want revenge, so he looked slightly wary and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to work quickly, Lusa As the chairman of the board, Minai works on the front line every day, and those of us who are subordinates have no reason to be slacker than her."

Zaobo chuckled, "I'm a human being too, I have to rest, right? If you don't even leave me this little free time, then I'll have to apply for a salary increase."

"Then you can apply to the chairman yourself." Biko didn't want to deal with Zaobao, but the friendship for so many years was still there, and she was also soft-tempered, so she hesitated a little and said: "Liliae has come back, you should I know, but you, an uncle, don’t care about this little girl. Lillie is fifteen or sixteen years old, so it’s normal for her to think you are too vulgar and to hate you..."

Zaobo's smile froze slightly, but Biko continued to scold:

"To put it bluntly, you are still too shabby. If you are in your forties, you should at least dress yourself up. Moreover, your demotion is just a superficial thing, just for the sake of it. If you want to teach Lillie a lesson because of this, Or whatever, let’s see if I don’t beat you to death!”

Zaobo looked a little angry and couldn't help but said: "Am I that kind of narrow-minded person? Every injustice has its owner and its debtor. Even if I want to take revenge, I have to pay attention to my reputation... At least I should investigate why Lillie Are you going to drive me away?"

Bi Ke thought about it for a while and felt that what he said made sense. If he was suddenly demoted, he would feel resentful towards anyone who would be blamed for it. He would not give up until he investigated clearly, so she had to warn:

"An investigation is an investigation, but don't go too far. If you dare to bully Lillie, if the chairman finds out, you will definitely not be able to please him. Even though she is estranged from Lillie, she is still a biological mother and daughter, and she still loves Lillie very much. Ai’s.”

After saying this, Biko twisted her slender waist and brushed past Zaobo, heading towards her office.

Zaobo's indignant expression slowly faded away as Bigui left.

He didn't lie. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he had to keep his reputation... He was suddenly demoted. Of course he was dissatisfied and secretly investigated.

Lillie couldn't explain the reason, but she insisted on driving him away. It was obvious that he was instigated by others. Zaobao thought it was Lillie's eldest brother who instigated him at first, but the time didn't match up. Lillie's eldest brother was still traveling abroad at the beginning of the year. He had never seen Lillie, and although it was not entirely impossible, Zaobo was more willing to believe that it was someone in the winter camping who instigated it.

But there were so many people camping in the winter, so he didn't know who instigated Lillie, so the matter was shelved. But now Lillie suddenly left Alola in February and has been there for half a year. It certainly doesn't matter who she was with during this period. Difficult to investigate...

Xu Qiansu and Ma Li... Zaobo was even more suspicious of Xu Qiansu. After all, Lillie was fifteen or sixteen years old, the age when love begins. It was normal for her lover to be smitten with just one word.

But why is Xu Qiansu so hostile to him?

Speaking of which, Xu Qiansu is an Interpol and even solved Sakaki in the middle of the year... Will the person who can solve Sakaki be a simple person? He must be highly valued within Interpol and have a good status, so it is normal for him to know some secret information that is not known to the public.

Thinking of this, Zaobo's expression slowly darkened... Speaking of unknown secrets, he has a lot of secrets... Xu Qiansu returned to Alola with Lillie this time, and I'm afraid she didn't want to follow the clues. Meaning... If this is the case, it would be wise to strike first.

But if this is the case, as an Interpol police officer, he actually showed hostility towards me at the beginning of the year. Isn't this just a warning?

Zaobo couldn't figure this out for a moment and thought it was Xu Qiansu who was being careless. He didn't expect Zaobo to be able to pinpoint him with some information.

But even if you want to retaliate, you must pay attention to the method. After all, there is no substantial evidence to prove that Xu Qiansu led all this... Zaobo stood there and pondered for a while. When he heard his colleague calling his name, he came back to his senses. .

Xu Qiansu didn't know that his warning to Lillie at the beginning of the year had caused a stir... Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. What level were the opponents he had fought against before? Akahi from the Galaxy, Sakaki from the Rockets, and who is he, Zaobo? It's really a bit unflattering.

Compared with Zaobo's plan, the predicament before him frightened him more.

"Xiao Xu, I knew you would definitely come!" Lusamine changed into a pure white dress at home. Her blond hair hanging behind her was tied up like an adult wife, and her ponytail hung in front of her shoulders to show that she was friendly. She walked up quickly, holding Xu Qiansu's right hand tightly with both hands, looking excited.

She had been waiting for Xu Qiansu in Alola for several months, hoping for Xu Qiansu's arrival.

Beings who can physically travel through time and space...if they could be thoroughly studied, what a great contribution this would make to the study of the ultimate alien cave!

Lusamine has been studying the Ultimate Cave for more than 20 years, and she already has a demonic obsession with the Ultimate Cave.

The hand was warm and soft, but there were several cold dagger-like glances coming from behind, sending shivers down Xu Qiansu's spine.

Lillie's cheeks were even redder and she didn't look as weak as before. She held Lusamine's wrist tightly with both hands and pushed her further away, "Mom!"

Lusamine cast her eyes on Lillie, then stretched out her arms to hug her, burying Lillie's little face in her chest and rubbing her, "Lilia~ We haven't seen each other for half a year, and she is taller now. Go to sleep with mom tonight..."

Xu Qiansu and others watched from behind. Lusamine's behavior of treating her like a child made Lillie's heart skip a beat with shame and anger. She quickly broke away, "I'm not a child! And mom, you can't do it tomorrow." Take Mr. Xu away! He has just arrived in Alola, so he should at least rest for a few days."

Lusamine poked Lillie's forehead dotingly with her index finger, "If you don't take him away tomorrow... what about tonight? Let him go with his mother tonight, and she will keep him and take care of him comfortably, and give him to him tomorrow. He sent..."

"No!" Lillie gave Xu Qiansu an apologetic look, then pushed Lusamine hard, trembling so hard that Xu Qiansu had to look away.

After Lusamine and Lillie disappeared into the corridor, Cattleya floated to Xu Qiansu and looked at him sideways, "How does it feel?"

"Sorry, I will never be alone with Aunt Lusamine." Xu Qiansu felt that an apology was the most appropriate word of love at this moment. After all, Cattleya was not the only one who was dissatisfied.

"Have you ever thought about being alone with her?"

Xu Qiansu turned her eyes to Ma Li for help.

Ma Li ignored him completely and walked past Xu Qiansu, looking at the furnishings in the room with curiosity.

They are both noble ladies. No matter how luxurious Lillie's manor is, how can it be any more luxurious than your home? What's there to be curious about when things are so similar?

Xu Qiansu looked at Del again, and Del looked away as if she hadn't seen him.

But in the end, Miss Mary looked back and glanced at Cattleya, "Did you bring your swimsuit?"

Cattleya glanced at Ma Li and shook her head slightly.

"Go buy it tomorrow." After Ma Li said this, she went upstairs to find a room to put her luggage.

Miss Mary, I love you!

Xu Qiansu muttered silently in her heart, then turned her head to look at Cattleya, and asked doubtfully: "Miss Ma Li... took the initiative to invite you to buy a swimsuit... she wants to get along with you?"

Cattleya stared at Ma Li's back with her hands behind her back, her expression slightly suspicious. She was speechless for a moment, but after a while she said: "This is competition."

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu tilted her head.

The competition of who loves you more... Ma Li wants to live in harmony with me because of you... Cattleya did not say this.

Zhulan came up from behind with a smile, "Okay, although I brought a swimsuit, it's not bad to buy a few more. Let's go together."

From then on, several girls began to gather together to discuss swimsuit styles, colors, fabrics, brands and other things that Xu Qiansu didn't understand well.

Xu Qiansu put down her luggage and released the Pokémon. After thinking about it for a while, she thought it was still early and said to Gardevoir: "The mobile phone store shouldn't be closed yet. Should we go buy it now?"

Gardevoir blinked, stood up quickly, and nodded repeatedly.

It doesn’t matter whether you buy a mobile phone or not.

But hanging out with Susu is very important.

Xu Qiansu left the rest of the Pokémon in the manor to get familiar with the environment, and then left the room with Gardevoir.

After leaving the manor, I saw Ma Li on the park bench built at the entrance of the manor.

She let her black hair, which was tied into balls, hang simply behind her shoulders, and changed into a dark blue dress. She wore a simple and elegant women's blue shirt on her upper body, with the hem tucked into the skirt... Judging from her expression, she was distracted.

Morubek was sitting next to Ma Li, holding a bag of elf food and eating it.

Xu Qiansu was slightly startled, "Miss Ma Li?"

Ma Li came back to her senses and her expression returned to its former cold and calm expression. She raised her eyebrows but did not stand up. "What are you going to do?"

"Buy a mobile phone for Gardevoir... Let's go together?" Xu Qiansu invited.

Ma Li looked Xu Qiansu up and down before standing up by her skirt and walking to Xu Qiansu's side. Molu Beike also climbed up on Ma Li's shoulders with short legs and waved to Xu Qiansu, "Moru Beike~"

Xu Qiansu shook her little hand, then turned to look at Ma Li, "Sitting outside alone... Is there anything you don't like about me today?"

Xu Qiansu's tone was very cautious and slightly nervous... He liked Ma Li and wanted to be with her forever, so he always reflected on his actions.

Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu with a smile in her eyes. She knew Xu Qiansu's thoughts well. If it were normal, she would definitely say, "It's so embarrassing to be captured by my cuteness... But I think this is human nature. In addition, I'm too cute, so I don't care about your nervousness."

But at this moment, she didn't say anything, just showed a faint smile, "Let's go, stand there and talk, I don't know when to go... The mobile phone store will be closed later."

"When it's closed, go to the supermarket. There's always one open 24 hours a day."

"Just go to the mobile phone store quickly, why bother?"

"I want to walk more with you."

Ma Li was startled by her words and walked forward with her head bent.

Xu Qiansu smiled, took Gardevoir's little hand and quickly followed.
