Chapter 997 You too! ?

Chapter 998 You too! ?

After a quick shower, Xia You left the secret base and returned to the Pokémon Center. In the restaurant, he saw Xiaoyao and Mei who had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xia You, Xiao Yao asked curiously, "Brother Xia You, where have you been this afternoon? Why did you come back just now?"

She had no other intention, she was just curious.

But after she finished speaking, she looked at Xia You carefully again, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Did you take a shower just now? Why do you look so refreshed?"

Of course it’s refreshing.

All the bullets have been used up, and now he feels relaxed all over!

Of course, I can’t tell these two people.

"I went to deal with some matters of the Galaxy Team." Xia You made up an excuse and asked, "What about you guys? What did you do this afternoon?"

"Of course we went shopping!" Xiaoyao didn't think much about it, but puffed out his chest and said complacently, "Although the time was short, sister Yami and I visited all the attractions here, bought some new clothes, and had delicious ice cream. But it doesn't matter, after you finish the gym tomorrow, if you still want to go shopping, we will still accompany you!"

"No problem, then hurry up and order the food. I feel so hungry now that I can eat a Kentaro!"

"So hungry?" Yami was a little surprised. "Did you consume a lot just now? Did you have a fight with the Galaxy team?"

"We did fight." Xia You shook his head with emotion, "But it wasn't with them, but with others..."

Now that he had entered the sage mode, he still felt a little melancholy about his impulsiveness in the secret base.

Of course, there is absolutely no regret.

After all, closer relations are a good thing in some ways, but... naturally there are also disadvantages.

The nature has changed...

In the past, I could treat them as friends and subordinates, but now...

Alas, it’s all because of my lack of willpower…

But no matter what, he is not the kind of person who would just take advantage of everything and leave it alone. Since the relationship has changed, he will try his best to work on the good side.

Of course, his physical problems were properly handled.

It can even be foreseen that if I feel uncomfortable again when I go to other areas in the future, I won’t have to worry about anything with A Quan and Huo Yan by my side. This is the most important thing.

From this point of view, it can also prevent you from getting into any entanglement with other women due to impulse in the future.

Hmm...it shouldn't happen again, right?

I guess so…

……

Just when Xia You, Xiaoyao and Yami were having dinner, two things happened.

The first one was the Shenhe Research Institute far away in Shenhe Town. Zhulan set out from Baiyang Town and after several days of traveling day and night, she finally returned here before sunset.

As soon as she entered the institute, she went directly to her grandmother's office.

"Grandma, I'm back."

At this time, Jiezilan was looking up information at her desk, and there were many books scattered around her, at least four or fifty books. This made Zhulan, who had just opened the door, frown subconsciously.

What's going on here?

My grandmother is a tidy person, how could she have messed up all these books?

Are you working so hard that you forget to eat and sleep?

She hasn't been like this for a long time!

Seeing that Jiazilan hadn't raised her head yet, as if immersed in her own world, Zhulan couldn't help but walk to her side and asked softly, "Grandma, what happened? Why are you calling me back so urgently?"

Startled by the voice, Jiezilan finally came back to her senses. She looked up and saw that it was Zhulan. She took off her reading glasses and sighed to her.

"Wrong... all wrong..."

"Ah?" Zhu Lan was stunned. "What's wrong?"

"My previous research direction was wrong." Jiezilan pushed an ancient book on the table in front of Zhulan, feeling very emotional. "I always thought that the sun only represented the diamond bead and the white jade bead, and it was more of a symbolic meaning, but I didn't expect it to be Tianguan Mountain. This completely changed my opinion on some things. Fortunately, it's not too late to find out, and there is still time to save it."

Zhulan naturally knew the direction that Jiezilan had been focusing on before, and also knew how much effort she had invested in it. Now hearing what her grandmother said, she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Mustard Orchid suddenly sighed again: "Oh, what an amazing young man, he discovered the connection so easily. I have studied it for so long in vain. But in this case, the matter of those people from the Galaxy team snatching the Diamond Orb does not seem to be so simple. Is their target Arceus? Or Dialga and Palkia..."

My grandmother actually praises others for being great?

Hearing this, Zhulan's heart moved and she couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Grandma, who is the young man you are talking about...?"

"He is a junior scholar and a trainer." Mustard Orchid didn't think much about it and introduced him naturally, "His name is Xia You, and he is traveling here from another place."

Xia...Xia You! ?

Why is he everywhere?!

Zhulan was shocked and immediately asked what happened.

But Jiezilan didn't expect her granddaughter to react so strongly. Although she was surprised, she still told the story.

After hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Zhulan's eyes.

"You mean...he's still a scholar?"

"That's right." Jiezilan smiled, "I've read his paper on the butterfly effect before. It's quite interesting."

"You also said... He personally admitted to you that he had been to the museum in Baidai City and saw the Galaxy Team attack there?"

Mustard Orchid nodded again: "Although it is not stated, it should be that meaning."

"Does he know about your relationship with me?"

Jiezilan didn't know why her granddaughter cared so much about Xia You. Instinctively, she felt that there must be some unknown secret.

Is it...

Before these two people...

The thought flashed through her mind, but she didn't show it. She just said, "Of course I don't know. Even among the people in Sinnoh, how many people know that I am your grandmother? Not to mention those outsiders."

Zhulan understood.

It turned out to be like this...

It seems that the man named Xia You really revealed his whereabouts inadvertently.

Since he also appeared in the EMI Museum, and it happened to be the day when Team Galactic attacked, then all the evidence corroborates each other, doesn't it make it even more certain that he is the masked man!

but……

Although the probability is small, it is still possible that it is a coincidence.

Thinking of this, she asked again: "Grandma, when did he leave? Did he say where he was going next?"

Seeing Zhulan's anxious look, Jiezilan became more certain of her guess.

"Zhu Lan." She didn't answer immediately, but stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sunset outside the window. "Although it is said that if a girl chases a boy, she will catch him. That young man named Xia You does have a good image and is very smart, but you are a champion after all, and you are older than him. There are so many eyes staring at you. You can't be so proactive, not to mention that there is a very beautiful green-haired woman next to him, so you... should be more stable."

what?

It does not make sense!

As soon as Jiazilan opened her mouth, Zhulan knew she had misunderstood.

She hastily explained a few words, but to Jiezilan, these words were just her attempt to cover up something, and the more she explained, the worse it got.

Even at the end, seeing that Jiezilan didn't believe it, Zhulan felt tired.

"Grandma, let's not talk about anything else for now. Just tell me where he went."

"How could I possibly know such a thing?" She just shook her head. Seeing her granddaughter's visibly disappointed expression, she smiled. "Although they didn't tell me directly, from where they came from and the route they took afterwards, I can infer that they must have gone to Veil City."

Curtain City?

Zhulan thought about it for a moment and felt that this was very possible.

If this is the case, then as long as there is news of the masked man appearing in this direction again, we can be 100% sure that it is him!

I just don’t believe there can be so many coincidences!

……

On the other side, far away at the port of Veil City.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, A Quan returned to the secret base.

It must be said that after getting what she wanted, although she felt a little unwell, she was full of energy. In this state, she was as if assisted by God. After this investigation, she really discovered something!

This also made her more confident about the upcoming action.

The most important thing is that she did not disappoint Xia You's expectations!

It goes without saying that once this matter is done beautifully, my weight in this man's heart will definitely increase!

Now back here, thinking about what happened during the day, a smile appeared on her lips.

When he went upstairs and saw Huoyan lying on the sofa after taking a bath, A Quan could hardly hide his pride.

This damn girl, you dare to argue with me? Dream on!

Feeling happy, she did not go back to her room directly, but leaned against the door, looking at Huoyan with a smile.

"You came back early enough. What did you gain from this operation?"

"Action?" Huoyan looked at her with a smug smile on his face, "I was just about to set off."

"What?" Ah Quan was a little surprised. "So what did you do when you went out this afternoon?"

"Sorry, I didn't leave here this afternoon." Huoyan stood up, with an even bigger smile on his face, "I saw an old fox stealing food furtively, so of course I stayed to see what was going on."

Just one sentence made A Quan's brows raise!

"You saw it all!?"

"Yes, I heard it." Huoyan curled his lips, "It was so loud, it was hard not to hear it!"

Having this matter revealed, especially in front of Huoyan, A Quan felt somewhat embarrassed, but she rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.

"So what? Since you already know everything, that's perfect. It will make you realize that Xia You likes me more than you do!"

"You're not the only one he likes." Huoyan was not willing to be outdone. He looked at her tit-for-tat and then unzipped his collar, allowing A Quan to see the deep kiss marks on his neck.

"What!?" Ah Quan's eyes widened immediately, looking at her in disbelief, "Could it be - you - you also -!?"

"Why do you think I've been here all afternoon?" Huo Yan raised her head. "Don't think you're the only one who's become his woman. So am I. And compared to you, Xia You and I have been here for a whole afternoon! An entire afternoon!"

Hearing Huoyan deliberately emphasize the word "afternoon", A Quan felt so angry that his teeth were itching!

Damn it!

This woman actually succeeded!
