Chapter 123 Forced Kiss

At the dinner table that night, Aunt Yumei asked, "Mr. Zhen, I heard that you have already obtained the initial Pokémon!"

Xiao Zhen put down the chopsticks in his hand, nodded seriously, and smiled slightly: "That's right, I plan to go on an adventure the day after tomorrow. I'm really sorry, I may have to bother you for another day or two."

Hearing that Xiao Zhen was about to leave, Huazi accidentally dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground.

The two soon noticed Hanako's movements, and Yumi couldn't help but sigh. Her daughter finally found a boy she liked, but unfortunately the two of them were not destined to be together.

Although Xiao Zhen is not a romantic and has never had a formal relationship, he is not an idiot. He can't hide Huazi's feelings for him.

Xiao Zhen thought about it and asked carefully: "Hanako, are you willing to travel with me and see the outside world?"

"Ah!" Huazi was a little nervous this time. He didn't expect Xiao Zhen to suddenly invite him. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He could only look at his mother next to him, hoping that she would agree to let them go out traveling.

"No! I won't agree." Yumei slammed the table and said loudly.

This scared Xiao Zhen. He didn't expect Yumei to react so strongly.

"I...I'm done eating. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while."

Hearing her mother's words, Hanako put down her bowl and chopsticks somewhat dejectedly and slowly walked upstairs.

"Ah~"

Seeing Hanako's distraught look, Yumi felt helpless. She didn't expect her daughter to react so strongly.

"Auntie, did I say something wrong just now? Why are you reacting so violently?" Xiao Zhen asked cautiously.

Yumi glanced at Xiao Zhen, then said helplessly: "I can't do anything about it. Hanako's father is also a Pokémon trainer. He went out to travel very early and rarely came home.

Sometimes it’s difficult for us to see each other for two or three years, and we can only meet via video calls. I really don’t want Hanako to go out traveling, because if that happens, I’ll be alone at home!

I’m really afraid that Hanako will leave me too. I’ll be so lonely then, wuwuwu…”

Xiao Zhen sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to travel with Hanako so that he could have a beautiful cook with him on the road, so he wouldn't have to rely on dry food.

The next day, there was a knock on Xiao Zhen's door. When he opened the door, he saw it was Hanako, who was wearing casual clothes.

"Xiao Zhen, didn't you say you were going to buy some travel supplies today? Why are you still sleeping in?"

Xiao Zhen had a few question marks on his head. It might not even be 7 o'clock yet! Was there any need to be so anxious?

"Hanako, at this time, I guess many stores aren't open yet!" Xiao Zhen said speechlessly.

Huazi didn't care and just grabbed Xiao Zhen's left arm and started pulling it out.

Xiao Zhen had no choice but to follow Hanako out the door. Yumei saw all of this.

Yumi walked to a wooden cabinet, gently opened a drawer, and after rummaging for a while, she took out a trainer qualification certificate with Hanako's name written on it.

Hanako first took Xiao Zhen to a ramen restaurant and ate two bowls of hot ramen together.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhen and Huazi went to the bank, and Xiao Zhen took out a large number of gold bars and exchanged them for the currency of this world.

When Huazi saw so many gold bars, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Zhen was actually an invisible rich man, and a very rich one at that.

Even the staff were shocked. After all, few people would bring a pile of gold to exchange for money. However, they were quite efficient and completed the series of procedures in less than ten minutes.

Fortunately, in this world, you don't need to show proof to exchange gold for currency.

Xiao Zhen just said that he brought it from home and easily got away with it. If it were on Earth, with so much gold of unknown origin, a police officer would invite him for tea in minutes.

Afterwards, the two of them went to a clothing store and bought a lot of warm clothes, as well as hiking shoes, flashlights and other things, leaving nothing out.

When Xiao Zhen passed by a Pokémon store, he bought dozens of Poké Balls, including several high-level Poké Balls.

If this were in the game, Pallet Town wouldn't sell high-level Poké Balls, so this world would seem more realistic.

It was already noon. Xiao Zhen looked at the large and small bags on his body and asked doubtfully, "Do I really need to buy so many things when traveling?"

Hanako, who was walking in front with a smile on her face, turned around and said, "Of course, that's what the book says."

"Book...in the book?" Xiao Zhen's mouth trembled. He really wanted to ask if the book said that a car was needed, otherwise it would not be able to fit so many things.

If Xiao Zhen hadn't been concerned about the large number of people around him, he would have thrown all these things into the ring long ago.

Finally, Huazi also bought Xiao Zhen a bicycle, saying that it was of good quality and could be used in many places.

Soon, the sun went down, and before they knew it, they had been strolling for a whole day.

When Yumi saw the pile of things, she was also shocked. Is this a trip or a move?

Hanako always gave Xiao Zhen a strange feeling at night. Although they were about to separate, she didn't seem to be very sad. When she was cooking at night, she looked serious.

The next morning, Xiao Zhen left Zhenxin Town on his bicycle.

Looking back at the birthplace of the future protagonist, Xiao Zhen's eyes were a little disappointed. He hadn't seen Hanako all morning. This girl had been hiding in the room, as if she was deliberately avoiding him.

"Alas! Parting is indeed very sad. It's better not to meet each other. Maybe I can have fewer worries!" Xiao Zhen sighed silently.

Just as Xiao Zhen turned around and was about to leave, an excited voice came from behind.

"Xiao Zhen, wait a minute, I... I'm coming!"

Xiao Zhen looked back and saw Hanako, who was riding a bicycle frantically, appear in his sight. He smiled slightly. He thought that this girl really would not come to say goodbye.

When Hanako arrived in front of Xiao Zhen, she suddenly braked and almost got thrown out.

"Hu...Hu, Xiao Zhen, I...I've made up my mind. I want to go out traveling with you today!" Hanako said breathlessly.

"Ah!" Xiao Zhen was startled and said doubtfully, "You are not kidding, are you? If you do this, your mother will probably be very angry!"

"I don't care. This time, I must make my own decision. You must take me with you, otherwise I will tell Sister Junsha that you are a hooligan and then put you in jail!" Huazi grabbed Xiao Zhen's arm and said firmly.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This girl actually threatened him, and used such a hooliganism. Her image as a good wife and mother was almost destroyed.

I don’t know why, but when Xiao Zhen sees Hanako’s current appearance, he always feels that she is a little cute.

Although in terms of appearance, Hanako was only an average beauty, and was much inferior to those young ladies he had seen in the imperial capital before, her gentle temperament was very attractive to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen smiled slightly, grabbed Huazi's shoulders, lowered his head slightly, and gave her a forceful kiss.

Hanako's eyes widened in disbelief. She had actually given away her first kiss like that. Although the person who took her first kiss away was Xiao Zhen, whom she had a great crush on, it was also her first kiss. How could he be so casual!
