Gongsun Yan and Liliae look so well matched standing together. Black and white are always the most matching colors, and the same goes for handsome men and beautiful women. By the way, let me mention one thing. Unlike occasions like summer festivals, when taking a hot spring bath, girls usually wear yukata in neutral, so...hehehe. "Snapped!" "What are you looking at!" Liliae felt a little uncomfortable with Gongsun Yan's slightly aggressive gaze. Her already rosy face became even redder against the background of her white bathrobe. She patted Gongsun Yan in a slightly coquettish manner. "Ahem, I'm looking at the most beautiful thing in the world." Gongsun Yan's gaze was slightly restrained, but still fiery, and he even flirted with Liliae. As we all know, if something is shown to you too directly, you may think it is nothing, but if it is slightly covered up, like a woman half-covering her face, the perception will instantly be different. Hu Yifei once said that when it comes to bikinis, what’s exposed isn’t important; what’s important is what’s covered. So even though Gongsun Yan had already seen everything, he was still full of curiosity about certain good qualities and wanted to put his face close to them.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Can you please let me finish my lunch first?" After spending a long time with Gongsun Yan, Liliae's tolerance for sweet talk has greatly improved, and she selectively ignored Gongsun Yan's words. "Sorry sorry." Although Gongsun Yan was apologizing, his slightly vague eyes showed that he definitely had some bad intentions. Seeing this, Liliae sighed and continued to eat her lunch. Not only did she not stop Gongsun Yan, she even seemed to be secretly supporting him. There is no way. After all, Gongsun Yan's current performance shows that Liliae is very beautiful. Women dress up to please themselves. Gongsun Yan smiled slyly upon seeing this, pushed his lunch towards Liliae, and moved over as well. (Omit a thousand words here!) After a long one-hour lunch (that was Liliae's opinion, Gongsun Yan had a different opinion), Liliae and Gongsun Yan prepared to take a short break and then go to Honglian Island together later. (A thousand words are omitted here again!) Well, since they were going out, they definitely couldn't leave it in vain, so whether it was Gongsun Yan or Liliae, they at least put on a thin piece of clothing inside. As for why I didn’t wear more, it was mainly because Honglian Island is a volcanic island and the temperature is extremely high. If I wear too many clothes, I would be prone to heatstroke. After getting dressed, Gongsun Yan and Lilia were ready to go out. The hotel thoughtfully prepared two pairs of brand new clogs for them. Although Yukata is a lighter type of kimono, there are still some differences. For example, Yukata is worn with bare feet like wooden clogs, while Kimono is worn with special socks called tabi. So if you want to distinguish between a yukata and a kimono, just look at whether you are wearing socks on your feet. Wearing the wooden clogs provided by the hotel, Gongsun Yan and Liliae walked out of the hotel and headed towards the most prosperous street in the entire Honglian Island. Along the way, what the two saw most were various types of hotels. There were not even a few restaurants, let alone other stores. This may be a feature of Honglian Island. After all, compared to other stores, the hotels on Honglian Island can always make money, and it is even easier. You can even see people from any region on Honglian Island. All of these people have smiles on their faces, making the overall atmosphere of Honglian Island seem to be thriving.
Liliae was obviously also infected by this atmosphere. While hugging Gongsun Yan's right hand, she even started jumping up and down. "Be careful, you may not be used to wearing wooden clogs yet. If you hurt your feet, I will have to carry you around~" After saying this, Gongsun Yan even looked Liliae up and down, with a wicked smile on his face. This kind of slightly ruffian boy is obviously very lethal to women. The women around who are stealing glances at Gongsun Yan, ranging from forty to eight years old, simply do not hide their slightly aggressive gazes. Seeing this, Liliae bared her teeth at the women around her and hugged Gongsun Yan's right hand tightly, like a kitten protecting its food. Not only did she show a wary look, she also pulled Gongsun Yan away quickly. Gongsun Yan also showed a doting smile when seeing this, and cooperated with Liliae to be pulled away. Liliae, who was slightly jealous, was so cute. After Lillie pulled Gongsun Yan for a distance, she suddenly realized that Gongsun Yan's right hand was kidnapped by her, and even appeared to be sandwiched between cheese. Realizing this, Liliae quickly let go of Gongsun Yan's hand. Although she didn't mind having close contact with Gongsun Yan, she was still a little shy if it was done outside. Chapter 230 Awkward Atmosphere However, although Liliae no longer tied Gongsun Yan's right hand, she did not want to give those coquettish bitches beside her an opportunity to take advantage of her, so she simply interlocked her fingers with Gongsun Yan to show her sovereignty. Gongsun Yan found it a little funny to see Liliae's jealous look, but he didn't have any other ideas. He just held Liliae's right hand and walked forward. At this time, there are no celebrations to be held on Honglian Island, but thanks to the huge throughput of tourists, celebrations in most places cannot attract so many people. Gongsun Yan and Liliae, two beautiful young couple, were wandering aimlessly on the busy streets. Since most of the stores on Honglian Island are used as hotels, there are naturally very few shops on the island. However, people's lives are inseparable from all kinds of shops, and commodity taxes account for a large share of the tourism industry, which is obviously impossible to give up. So how can we sell a wide variety of goods without enough stores? That’s right, it’s mobile stalls, or even street stalls. Although in today's China, not to mention street stalls, even many food stalls are almost unable to operate, not only because of the impact of the epidemic, but also because this form of stall setting has many drawbacks. I don't mean to be sarcastic here, I'm just stating the facts. The sanitary conditions of most mobile stalls are worrying, not only in terms of the goods, but also in the aftermath. Presumably, everyone has seen various late-night snack stalls. After they close, they often leave behind a mess, which, after a long time, cannot be washed off. It is simply too ugly. It is precisely because of this that local governments will impose increasingly severe penalties on these small stalls. There are definitely good people among the small vendors, while others have their own difficulties. But even so, they still caused a lot of negative impact on the city, so they were gradually banned. However, in the Pokémon world, these drawbacks have been weakened to the extreme, and the average moral level is extremely high. With the help of the magical Pokémon, pollution is almost non-existent. In order to make more money, these vendors spontaneously ensure the cleanliness of the streets. After all, they all know that if they want to get a bigger share of the pie, it is not enough to just squeeze out their competitors, they must make the pie bigger. Well, to be honest, if it weren't for his dream of becoming a Pokémon trainer, Gongsun Yan would probably have turned this book into a business war novel, with the goal of having Devon Company swallow up Silver! Unfortunately, there is no "if" in this world, so Gongsun Yan can only accompany Liliae, wandering around various stalls, constantly picking out these things that are a bit cheap for both of them. But it must be said that occasionally visiting the street stalls is indeed beneficial to the body and mind, and it actually allowed Gongsun Yan to regain some of the happiness of his childhood in his previous life.
Although this so-called happy childhood in the previous life was about the same age as Gongsun Yan is now, his mentality has changed drastically. Gongsun Yan used to be a young child, but now he can barely be considered a man. Any man who knows how to shoulder the responsibilities that he should shoulder is a man. As a result, Gongsun Yan instantly felt a desire to go shopping that was no less than Liliae's. The two of them hit it off immediately and for a moment they were unable to extricate themselves. Although Gongsun Yan came here to challenge the last Red Lotus Gym, he was not in a hurry. After all, the gym was right there and he couldn't run away. Besides, Gongsun Yan is not as foolish as Xiaozhi, who came to Crimson Lotus Island to challenge the gym without knowing anything and even didn't book a hotel. Misty and Brock are also a bit unreliable. As gym trainers or gym trainer candidates, they don't even know the situation of the Red Lotus Gym. Even if you don't know the situation of Honglian Gym, you should at least know that Honglian Island is a famous tourist attraction. But when you think about it, it's not Xiaozhi and the others' fault. After all, these three are representatives of poverty in a sense. They have never been to Crimson Lotus Island, so it's normal for them to ignore it. And although the Crimson Lotus Gym is nominally gone, every year there are still a few trainers who participate in the Quartz Conference with the Crimson Lotus Gym's gym badge. So in the circle of gym trainers, the Crimson Gym still exists, which is why Brock and Misty suggested that Satoshi come here to get the badge. And although it was not emphasized much, Gongsun Yan's identity was not an unknown one. His every move outside represented his family's education. According to the rules, people like Gongsun Yan must send a visiting card in advance whenever they want to challenge the gym of such a respected senior. However, because Gongsun Yan was traveling abroad, the restrictions in this regard were alleviated a lot, otherwise Gongsun Yan would have been unable to bear it long ago. Now Gongsun Yan just needs to communicate with Xia Bo in advance and explain his purpose. As a gym trainer, Xia Bo would naturally not refuse a young talent like Gongsun Yan from challenging the gym. At this time, Xia Bo was probably sharpening his sword in the gym. After all, sharpening a sword before a battle is better than nothing. He was really looking forward to the battle with Gongsun Yan. Gongsun Yan naturally wanted to have a fight with a veteran superstar like Xia Bo, but right now, going shopping with his girlfriend was the most important thing. In order to go shopping with Liliae, Gongsun Yan deliberately said that he would arrive at Honglian Island a day later. This was the reason. However, you never know which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. Ten minutes later, Gongsun Yan wished he could travel back in time and strangle himself to death for making this decision. Ten minutes later, in a tea room of the Honglian Hotel, Gongsun Yan and Xia Bo sat opposite each other, and deathly silence enveloped the two of them. "that......" "Be quiet and enjoy your tea." "Oh, thank you." Xia Bo pushed a cup of tea in front of Gongsun Yan, interrupting what Gongsun Yan wanted to say. When the elder handed you tea, Gongsun Yan naturally had to shut up. Not only did he shut up, he also had to respectfully take the tea bowl with both hands and say thank you. After taking the tea bowl, Gongsun Yan brought it to a position where both parties could see it, turned the tea bowl around, keeping his eyes focused on it, and then began to taste it slowly. To be honest, the tea ceremony in daily life is so complicated. If it were Gongsun Yan's previous life, he might have wanted to smash the tea bowl. Why is there so much unnecessary trouble when just drinking tea? But Gongsun Yan in this world is a good boy, so he naturally learned this simple etiquette a long time ago and has now turned it into an instinct.
Chapter 231 Xia Bo, the Calculating One "Yeah, good tea." "As long as you like it." "..." After this sentence, Gongsun Yan and Xia Bo fell into the damn silence again, which made Gongsun Yan a little restless, and his two big toes kept crossing each other. Gongsun Yan couldn't help but recall what had just happened. At that time, he and Liliae were happily walking on the street when a familiar aunt came towards them. "Hey, little girl, we meet again!" The auntie walking towards them was naturally the one that Gongsun Yan and Liliae had seen on the ship before. She seemed to be shopping at this time. Behind this auntie, there was a strong-looking boy named Haoli who was helping to carry the shopping. Judging from Haoli's half-dead appearance, this auntie must have been shopping for quite a while. Hao Li is naturally this aunt's Pokémon. It seems that he has been trained very well, and he seems to be on track with both training and food. Although Gongsun Yan thought that this rich lady would train a Hao Li, it was probably to have a coolie to help carry her bags when she went shopping. As for why the aunt's husband didn't come to help? Anyone who asks this question is obviously a child who has not experienced the harsh punishments of society. The reason Gongsun Yan can now keep up with Liliae's pace is entirely due to the explosive growth, coincidence of conditions, and his young and energetic physique, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago. This aunt's husband obviously doesn't have such a good body and he wouldn't like shopping, so he would definitely run whenever he can. Thinking of this, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but show an expression of "you've worked hard" to Hao Li on the opposite side, and Hao Li also smiled bitterly. To be honest, when Haoli saw Gongsun Yan and others, his eyes lit up instantly. Since he met someone he knew, he had to find a place to sit down, and he could also find his favorite chair. As a result, after a conversation between the aunt and Liliae, they decided to continue shopping. Just after this situation was said, Gongsun Yan clearly saw that the light in Haoli's eyes disappeared, and the whole Pokémon became lifeless. "Tsk tsk, shopping is really not a good thing. Look at what the Pokémon has become. This is the representative Pokémon of the Fighting type. It's powerful. It can work hard in the gym all day without feeling tired!" The more Gongsun Yan looked at Hao Li, the more pity he felt for him, so he simply released Lucario and asked him to help Hao Li share some of the burden. Well, Gongsun Yan is indeed a good trainer. He is always thinking of ways to train his Pokémon. By the way, on Cinnamon Island, apart from small Pokémon like Pikachu, the only Pokémon that can be released on the street during battles are these humanoid Pokémon. Goryeo, with lifeless eyes, gave a forced smile to Lucario who appeared beside him, but his expression was too stiff and he scared Lucario. If Gongsun Yan hadn't pulled him in time, Lucario, who hadn't yet controlled the surging waves in his body, might have rubbed out a bone stick. As for why it's not wave missiles, Lucario's best weapon should be wave missiles. In fact, it is precisely because Lucario failed to control the wave guide in his body that he could not produce a wave missile. After all, the most important thing for a wave missile is stability. If it is unstable, then let alone hurting the enemy, I will probably have to go to the Pokémon Center for rescue first. After all, a solid fortress will collapse from the inside. As for Lucario, he was a little confused now. He was meditating in the Poké Ball, but was suddenly called out.
It would be fine if it was just for some serious matter, but the result was that he was forced to do hard labor, which suddenly made Lucario and Hao Li feel a sense of sympathy. However, Lucario and Hao Li were not tortured for long. The three of them walked around and came to the door of an inn, which was the inn run by their aunt's family. Since they were already here, the aunt simply invited the two of them to come in and sit down. It was time for afternoon tea, and she was good at making desserts, so she insisted that they try some. Gongsun Yan and Liliae couldn't refuse the invitation, so they agreed and walked into the inn, rescuing the suffering Lucario and Haruki. As for what happened afterwards, I believe everyone knows that this hotel was the one opened by Xia Bo.
