“I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.”
“Love can’t be simple without hurt.”
“You…lean on my shoulder.”
“You…sleep in my arms.”
“This kind of life…I love you…you love me…!”
As the music ended, Xiao Mao took a deep breath and said to himself, “Jay Chou, I’m sorry.”
Clap! Clap! Clap…!
Applause came from the surrounding crowd.
“Young man, you sing well, how about another song?”
“Yeah, sing it again, it was so good.”
“......!”
The onlookers were still not satisfied, they wanted to hear another song, this was the first time they had ever heard this song.
“Thank you for your love, but I won’t sing this song anymore. I have something to do, I'll be leaving now.” Xiao Mao immediately handed the electric guitar back to Takahashi.
Then, he collected all his Pokémon and left with Na Zi’s hand in his.
“Wow, they’re holding hands, so romantic.” Instantly, the young girls in the crowd, lacking experience, became excited.
Xiao Mao felt a bit of a scare, these young girls didn’t have much experience, holding hands could cause such a reaction, if they kissed, wouldn’t they faint with excitement.
Back at the Pokémon Center.
Na Zi was completely stunned, she didn’t expect Xiao Mao to sing a song like that, no matter how you listened to it, it sounded like Xiao Mao was confessing his love to her.
Although Na Zi had a good feeling about Xiao Mao, they had only known each other for a short time, and the key was that Xiao Mao only sang a song, he didn’t actually confess to her, this made Na Zi feel unsettled, she didn’t know how to interact with Xiao Mao in the future.
Na Zi felt she couldn’t go on like this, it didn’t fit her personality, she immediately pulled away from Xiao Mao's hand.
“Xiao Mao, what do you mean?” Na Zi asked.
Seeing Na Zi pull away from his hand and hear her question, Xiao Mao asked back, “Nothing special.”
“Then what about that song you sang?”
“I sang it for you.”
Na Zi’s brow furrowed slightly, she wanted to ask directly, but she was too embarrassed, a little anger rose in her heart, but she couldn’t be angry, this feeling made Na Zi restless, like a cat scratching at her heart.
“Humph!”
Na Zi snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
“Hehe, she’s so easy to tease.” Xiao Mao watched Na Zi’s figure disappear into the elevator.
Xiao Mao, who had lived two lifetimes, how could he not see through Na Zi’s thoughts? Although Na Zi tried her best to hide it, it was not difficult to see that she wanted a formal answer from Xiao Mao.
And Xiao Mao wasn’t unwilling to give her a formal answer, but it was more interesting this way, dating, naturally, had to be a bit of a tug-of-war.
Especially since Xiao Mao had already messed with this Ice Queen, if he really deceived Na Zi’s feelings, Xiao Mao estimated that he would be turned into a doll by Na Zi and imprisoned.
......!
The next morning.
After a night, Na Zi returned to her usual cold and aloof demeanor, no longer mentioning yesterday's matter, she happily followed Xiao Mao to the most famous perfume shop in Yuhong City.
Yuhong Gym specialized in.
The two arrived at the entrance of the perfume shop, this perfume shop was naturally operated by the Yuhong Gym, selling perfume made from the saliva of the Stunfisk.
The shop assistant girl immediately greeted them, asking Na Zi if she was here to buy perfume.
“Welcome, guest. Our perfume not only smells great, but it’s also non-dizzying and has a calming effect.” The shop assistant introduced.
“I don’t know much about perfume.” Although Na Zi was a girl, she only focused on learning psychic powers as a child, she was clueless about the makeup knowledge that girls should master, it was only recently, after her personality recovered, that she began to pay attention to these things.
“It’s okay, guest, just tell me what kind of perfume you need, and I can recommend it to you.” The shop assistant girl enthusiastically said.
Na Zi turned to Xiao Mao and asked, “Xiao Mao, what kind of fragrance do you usually like?”
The shop assistant girl was immediately taken aback, she naturally noticed Xiao Mao, but Xiao Mao was obviously younger than Na Zi, she naturally wouldn’t think they were a couple, she thought they were siblings.
But a girl asking a boy what kind of perfume he likes, the meaning was clear.
“What’s wrong with the young girls nowadays? They’re all starting to like shota?” The shop assistant girl thought to herself.
Although Xiao Mao was very handsome, age gap was important.
“I don’t know much about perfume either, just let the shop assistant recommend a couple of perfumes for you.” Xiao Mao said.
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you then.” Na Zi said.
“No problem, leave it to me.” The shop assistant girl didn’t waste any words, she skillfully promoted two of the best-selling perfumes in the store, one was a fragrant herbal scent and the other was a deep scent, both of which had a calming effect.
Xiao Mao wasn’t interested in perfume originally, but after sniffing it, he immediately felt a sense of peace in his heart, the effects of this perfume were very powerful.
It had to be said that Pokémon were amazing, items made from something on a Pokémon had amazing effects, this perfume, if it were in the previous life, wouldn’t be worth less than the agarwood made from rhino horn.
“Thank you for your patronage.”
Xiao Mao readily paid for the perfume, each bottle of perfume cost 10,000, a total of 20,000, the price wasn’t too expensive, it was considered a luxury item.
“Na Zi, let’s go to the Yuhong Gym.” Xiao Mao had to get down to business now that the perfume was bought.
After challenging the gym, Xiao Mao also planned to visit the arcade in Yuhong City.
In the Pokémon Red/Green series, the arcade in Yuhong City was Rocket’s industry.
In order to attract people to play at the arcade, Team Rocket deliberately captured some rare Pokémon and placed them in the arcade, they could be exchanged for game coins from the arcade, it was very popular, attracting many gamblers to play.
“Oh, are you going to visit the botanical garden in the Yuhong Gym?” The shop assistant girl asked.
This perfume shop was opened by the Yuhong Gym, the Yuhong Gym also had a botanical garden built inside for people to visit, it was a good place for couples to go together.
“No, we’re going to challenge the gym.” Xiao Mao said.
“Like that, then go quickly, Gym Leader Risa has to teach a class for kids in the afternoon, if you’re late, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to challenge the gym.” The shop assistant girl reminded.
“Got it.”
Xiao Mao and Na Zi left the perfume shop and hurried to the Yuhong Gym.
The Yuhong Gym was also a landmark building in Yuhong City, its exterior was built in the shape of the crown of a Venusaur, it was very large, and not only was there an arena inside, but it also had a botanical garden built for Grass-type Pokémon to inhabit.
Walking to the entrance of the Yuhong Gym, Xiao Mao looked at the walls made of glass, he found it very novel, the reason for using glass as the walls was naturally to allow sunlight to shine directly inside.
