So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 137: When a girl investigates a boy, her IQ rivals that of Sherlock Holmes.

"So, who's your opponent in the next round?" As soon as Wei Xin arrived at the entrance of the research center, he ran into Ma Liang and Bo Jiaman. They were obviously from the same combat department, and their schedules were almost identical. After exchanging a few jokes and talking about Wei Xin's hair, their conversation turned to their opponents in the freshman competition.

"Yang Ruyan's partner is Fire Spotted Cat."

When Wei Xin mentioned this name, Ma Liang stopped in his tracks. Wei Xin turned around and saw that Ma Liang's brows were so furrowed that a 2B pencil could be held between them. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a row of teeth. He had a half-smile, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. His expression was so interesting that Wei Xin even wanted to release Ralts to hear his inner thoughts.

I think I'll pass; it feels like it would be too painful.

"Was she the most beautiful girl in the history department before?" A small, slender hand patted Wei Xin's shoulder. Wei Xin turned his head and saw a strand of golden hair fall on his shoulder.

It was Lillie, with a sly smile on her face. As if to break down the barrier called distance between the two, her face was very close to Wei Xin's, and Wei Xin could even smell the fragrance of shampoo.

"Wei Xin, why did you suddenly grow your hair so long?" Lillie put her fingers into Wei Xin's hair and tugged at it slightly, discovering that it wasn't a wig, and was immediately intrigued.

Before Wei Xin could speak, he felt a gaze pierce through his body. It came from the driver's seat of the car behind him. Wei Xin guessed who the gaze belonged to, but he didn't dare turn his head, afraid of seeing the same expression as Ma Liang on Lusamine's face. He could only keep walking forward on his own.

"A little accident happened last night, but we'll just go with the flow," Wei Xin said as they walked, asking, "Do you know Yang Ruyan?"

"Just a little bit," Lillie said, following Wei Xin and placing her hand in front of his eyes, gently pinching them with her thumb and forefinger to leave a tiny gap. "But she doesn't have a very good reputation among us girls."

Lillie didn't continue speaking. She was waiting for Wei Xin to ask her questions so as not to leave him with the impression that she was someone who would speak ill of others behind their backs.

"What do you mean?" Wei Xin asked, although he had already guessed the general idea of ​​the matter, after all, it was someone whose name contained the character "Ruyan".

Liu Ruyan, the peerless emperor of eternity, you have been poor and rich, a green tea bitch, shameless, arrogant, and scheming, but you have never been ugly.

Wei Xin was even considering how to handle the subsequent posts on Xiaohongshu and his essays if he won.

"Well, let's just say she has seven boyfriends, from the College of Agriculture, the College of Metallurgy, the College of Computer Science—" Lillie counted on her fingers, "Her boyfriends are all elites from their respective colleges. You know, raising Pokémon requires a lot of resources, and it's said that she gets her resources from her boyfriends."

"At first, her boyfriends were unaware of each other's situation, but one day it was suddenly exposed. Everyone thought she was doomed, but to everyone's surprise, her boyfriends, instead of being angry, inexplicably started scrambling to fawn over her."

Wei Xin suddenly realized that the "ten days to the end" the taxi driver had mentioned that day was actually her. In a daze, Wei Xin heard a strange sound, like someone's heart being pierced. Turning around, she found Ma Liang, who had been following her, standing not far behind, clutching his heart with difficulty.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

"What's wrong with him?" Lillie asked.

"Perhaps Emperor Ruyan has more than seven henchmen." Wei Xin shook his head. Poor Tom, only now realizing that he had been manipulated.

"Oh!" Lillie slapped her hand. So there were still some idiots among us. But she didn't care. When they reached the research center entrance, Lillie changed the subject, asking, "Wei Xin, I remember she was in the same major as you, and you even got first place in the freshman exam. Didn't she ever contact you?"

Wei Xin suddenly realized, "I knew it! Why would a young lady like you be rummaging through other people's underwear? You were just waiting for me here!"

You girls all like to carry maps and daggers in your sleeves, right?

"Would you like to see who's on my blacklist?" Wei Xin raised an eyebrow, thankfully he had a flashlight in his hand.

"I see," Lillie nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "I knew Wei Xin was so smart, how could he possibly fall for it?"

"Speaking of which, did you see the news this morning, Wei Xin? The news about the Rockets."

"I've seen it." As he walked to the main entrance, the glass doors of the research center opened automatically, and Wei Xin stepped inside, hearing the busy sounds of other students in the research center.

"Did you notice in the corner of the photo that there seems to be a student riding a purple motorcycle lizard with a woman on the back?"

Lillie smiled as the glass door behind her slammed shut. Sunlight streamed through the glass, casting a long shadow of Lillie that stretched all the way to Wei Xin's feet. Ma Liang, who had just come to his senses, was left outside. Wei Xin felt he couldn't hear Ma Liang's voice, only his own heartbeat, as if someone were hitting a war drum with a drumstick, smashing it through and making a loud, resounding sound.

Didn't we agree that you could only play one "Kill" card per turn? You didn't equip the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow either.

That photo was so blurry that even Rotom couldn't recover it. How did you figure it out?

How scary! Smart girls are scary!

"It's Ms. Cynthia. I asked her to stand by around the Eastern Seas after the Hunter J incident, so I owe her a favor. That's why I took some time yesterday to treat her to dinner. Ms. Cynthia is quite interested in history, so I accompanied her to the history museum, the Eastern History Museum."

"As a result, we encountered paparazzi lying in ambush. You know, Ms. Cynthia is a public figure, and paparazzi will do anything for clicks. Once the news gets out, I won't be able to explain it even if I have ten mouths. I can only ride the Milton with her to escape, and then we crashed into a robbery scene."

Wei Xin explained in detail, without missing a single word, that if there were a lie detector in front of him right now, he would be as calm and composed as a husband or boyfriend in a pornographic movie.

Ma Liang walked into the research center and saw Wei Xin and Lillie facing each other. He was about to ask them why they weren't leaving when he sensed that the atmosphere between them was not right. He could only shrink his neck and tiptoe away in a hurry.

"Something unexpected happened after I got home," Wei Xin said, pointing to his hair and shrugging innocently. "And then, my hair turned out like this."

"I see!" Lillie nodded thoughtfully. Her hair had grown long after she got home, meaning Wei Xin hadn't stayed overnight at Miss Cynthia's house. Recalling what happened on the spaceship that day, he said he had asked Cynthia to wait for him in the Eastern Sea. "So, Wei Xin, you knew from the beginning that Hunter J would leave the Eastern Sea on the spaceship. Could it be that everything that happened that day was part of your plan?"

"It's about 50/50," Wei Xin said. "Actually, it was more of a gamble, but I didn't expect to get you involved. Sorry."

Seeing Wei Xin suddenly express his apology, Lillie, who was still suspicious, suddenly realized what was happening, and her ears and cheeks turned bright red. Damn it, what am I saying to my savior? Besides, my relationship with Wei Xin is not close enough for me to pry into his private life.

"I should be the one apologizing," Lillie bowed to Wei Xin, then awkwardly rubbed her hair behind her ear, changing the subject, "Regarding the villa, I've already arranged for my family to inquire about it for you. You can go and take a look after your competition tomorrow if you have time."

Lillie felt that a verbal apology alone was not enough. After thinking it over, she still didn't know how to make amends, so she decided to round down the price of the villa.

Meanwhile, in the Kanto region, at the Tokiwa Dojo.

With a fierce look on his face, Giovanni looked at the statement on his computer that the Eastern Region would crack down on Team Rocket. He took his hand off the head of the big cat in his arms, scratched his buzz cut in confusion, and made a rustling sound.

"When did I send Team Rocket to the East?"

After pondering for a moment without any clue, Sakaki operated the computer and pulled up the surveillance footage from the basement of the Tokiwa Dojo.

Never mind, let's see if Mewtwo has learned to obey today.
