I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Gu Siming and Zhang Qiang's relationship was just so-so before, but now it seems that the two are getting closer rapidly because of topics that men are equally interested in.

As the saying goes, true brothers are those who study together, fight together, and go together...

···

Zhang Qiang drove Gu Siming home first.

Before getting out of the car, Gu Siming told Zhang Qiang to come find him as soon as possible.

Ye Feng and Ning Xian couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiang, but Zhang Qiang remained expressionless and didn't say anything.

But Ye Feng and Gu Siming were best friends and knew him very well, so they guessed what was going on. Ye Feng patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder meaningfully, making him extremely embarrassed.

Then, Zhang Qiang took Ye Feng and Ning Xian to Ning Xian's home.

Before leaving, Zhang Qiang said, "Be careful."

At first, the two didn't realize what was happening, but after seeing Zhang Qiang's gaze subtly shifting between them, they instantly understood.

Ning Xian's face flushed red instantly, and Ye Feng's lips twitched as he raised an eyebrow and gave a strange smile.

Zhang Qiang seemed to realize that his words were somewhat inconsistent with his usual image, and felt a little embarrassed. He then drove away in a panic.

"Why does it feel like Zhang Qiang has been corrupted by you? He used to be a very proper class monitor." Ning Xian looked at Ye Feng with a suspicious gaze.

"You mean I'm not serious anymore?" Ye Feng grinned mischievously.

"Hmph! You know that yourself!" Ning Xian rolled her eyes.

"So you still don't know? Then I'll let you know..." Ye Feng chuckled and reached out his wicked claws toward Ning Xian.

"Hey, are you trying to get yourself killed? This is my doorstep..."

"Mmmm!"

Suddenly, a cough came from behind the two who were playfully fighting.

Looking back, Ning Xian's mother, Cao Xuemei, was smiling at the two of them.

"Mom~ Ye Feng bullied me!" Ning Xian immediately ran to Cao Xuemei's side, hooked her arm around hers, and started to act coquettishly.

Ye Feng, who was about to be caught red-handed doing something naughty, felt a little embarrassed and awkwardly smiled, "Hello, Auntie~"

"Hmm—" Cao Xuemei drawled, making Ye Feng feel a little uneasy.

"I know you young people might get carried away when you meet, but you also need to know how to restrain yourselves. No matter how healthy you are..."

Ye Feng stared at Cao Xuemei with his mouth agape, dumbfounded.

Ning Xian's face also turned red, and she pushed Cao Xuemei towards the house, saying, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not making this up. Young people may be healthy, but if they don't know how to control themselves..."

"mom!!"

Ye Feng scratched his head, dragged his suitcase, and followed.

Upon entering the house, Ye Feng saw the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa. Cao Xuemei was talking about something, while Ning Xian sat to the side with a flushed face.

"Auntie..." Ye Feng called out softly.

"Ah, Xiaofeng. Your room is the second one on the right upstairs. Go and put your luggage away first," Cao Xuemei said.

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly came to his senses.

"Mom! Why did you let Ye Feng sleep in my room? Where am I supposed to sleep? Aren't there a few empty rooms?" Ning Xian asked anxiously before Ye Feng could even speak.

"What? Where will you sleep? Of course you two will share a room." Cao Xuemei rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly, "I haven't cleaned those rooms, they're all covered in dust. How can I let Xiaofeng stay there?"

"But···"

“Don’t treat your mother like some old-fashioned relic from the last century. When you went to the capital to see Xiaofeng last time, I don’t believe you two didn’t live together. You probably did everything you should and shouldn’t have done, right? What’s there to be embarrassed about now?” Cao Xuemei said.

"At worst, Mom will move to another house so as not to disturb you. But like I said, be careful to be moderate, and remember to take precautions..."

"···"

Cao Xuemei rattled off a string of words, leaving Ye Feng and Ning Xian no room to interrupt. They could only exchange an awkward glance, their faces flushed, and lower their heads.

Although Ning Xian and Ning Xian did stay together at night during their time in the capital, the time was too short, and they were both focused on learning mental training methods, so they never had a good opportunity to break through the final barrier.

Ye Feng only briefly experienced his girlfriend's tenderness.

"Alright, Xiaofeng, hurry up and put your luggage upstairs. Never mind, I'll help you." Cao Xuemei said, walking over and snatching the suitcase from Ye Feng's hand.

Ye Feng didn't want to give it to her, but under Cao Xuemei's gaze, he reluctantly let go.

Cao Xuemei dragged her suitcase upstairs, leaving Ye Feng and Ning Xian staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment of silence, Ye Feng couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, "Hahaha, Auntie, you're quite open-minded..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ning Xian glared at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng realized that his words were a bit inappropriate, and could only laugh awkwardly.

···

After feeding the elves, Ye Feng took a bath at Cao Xuemei's urging, and was then ushered into Ning Xian's room.

After a moment of silence, Ye Feng glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Um, well... why don't you get some rest? It's getting late."

Ning Xian responded with an "oh," then lowered her head and remained motionless.

Ye Feng pondered for half a second, then stepped forward and gently put his arm around Ning Xian's slender waist.

"What are you doing..." Ning Xian leaned against Ye Feng's chest, her fingers drawing circles on his chest, her heart starting to race.

Ye Feng felt a little itchy, grabbed the mischievous little hand, and slowly lowered his head.

Ning Xian felt her breathing become rapid and subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Click!" The door was suddenly opened.

The two of them froze instantly.

"Oh ho ho~" Cao Xuemei covered her mouth and let out a few strange laughs. She squatted down and put some things on the ground. "I've put these things here. Remember to use them."

"···"

The two turned around and saw several pieces of bubble gum on the ground...

"mom!!"

After a while, the sound of a car starting up came from downstairs.

The two walked to the window and saw that Cao Xuemei had indeed driven away.

"···"

The following N+1 words are omitted.

The next morning.

Ye Feng, who was fast asleep, suddenly felt a tickle in his nose. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ning Xian picking at a strand of hair and scratching it against his nose.

"You woke up so early?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

"Hmm~~~" Ning Xian hummed in response, continuing to tickle Ye Feng's nose with her hair.

"Oh dear, I'm already awake, and you're still here?" Ye Feng stretched out his devilish claw and grabbed it, feeling its delicate and soft texture.

"Oh dear!" Ning Xian exclaimed, immediately shrinking into Ye Feng's arms.

"No, it still hurts a little..." Feeling Ye Feng's hands starting to wander, she gently pushed him away.

"Then what should we do?" Ye Feng looked down at Ning Xian's flushed face.

"This..." Ning Xian pouted, her gaze drifting elsewhere, her small hand tracing across Ye Feng's chest, "I really can't do anything with you..."

···

···

The two stayed in bed until noon before getting up.

Ye Feng helped Ning Xian brush her teeth and wash her face, and then they went downstairs.

"Sit down, I'll go make you lunch." Ye Feng helped Ning Xian sit down on the sofa and headed towards the kitchen.

"Huh? You can cook?" Ning Xian asked in surprise.

“That’s right,” Ye Feng replied proudly.

Soon, a series of loud crashes and bangs came from the kitchen, making Ning Xian's heart jump, fearing that the kitchen might suddenly explode.

Half an hour later, Ye Feng brought over a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes with pickled mustard greens, and two bowls of rice.

"That's it?" Ning Xian looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng glanced to the side and said, "Hmm... there's not much in the fridge, let's just make do with this for now."

Ning Xian gave Ye Feng a disdainful look. He had just spoken so nicely, and she thought he could put on some kind of Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but it turned out to be just scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded potatoes.

"Hurry up and eat!" Ye Feng muttered. He used to live alone, so he hadn't really studied how to cook.
