Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

The next day, early in the morning.

Mu Yun still rode the Electric Mouse brand shared bicycle to school.

On weekdays, the school gate should be deserted on weekends, but at this moment a tall figure is standing in front of the gate.

Sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating her. Her long, smooth black hair cascaded down, ending at her waist with a light pink hair tie, creating a look that was both neat and softly girlish.

She wore a slightly loose white short-sleeved shirt that covered her up quite well, with only her delicate collarbone showing at the neckline, which looked quite dazzling in the dappled sunlight.

Her lower body was covered by a pair of loose khaki trousers, which completely concealed her beautiful legs. However, with the occasional movement of her legs, a bright black glimpse could be seen between the trouser leg and her white sneakers.

It was none other than Song Xiaomeng, who had arranged to meet Mu Yun here last night.

Upon seeing Mu Yun approaching on his bicycle, a lively smile suddenly bloomed on Song Xiaomeng's calm face, like spring flowers in full bloom, brimming with life and vitality.

Looking at that smiling face, Mu Yun couldn't help but smile as well.

Honestly, Xiaomeng is almost graduating from university, yet she's still so energetic. It's truly rare.

"Good morning, Xiaoyun!"

Song Xiaomeng quickly walked up to Mu Yun, put her hands behind her back, and said with a grin.

"Good morning, Xiaomeng-jie, you're here so early?"

After parking his bicycle, Mu Yun asked casually.

"It's not that early, I just arrived too~~"

Song Xiaomeng naturally moved closer to Mu Yun, her slender white index finger twirling a strand of light pink bangs by her ear, and replied.

"Nonsense, I saw you standing there half an hour ago." Mu Yun blinked and said, noticing Song Xiaomeng's unnatural movements.

"Impossible! I've only been here for fifteen minutes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Xiaomeng realized that her mouth seemed to have acted faster than her brain. Her smile vanished, and she looked at Mu Yun with a sly gaze: "Not bad, Xiao Yun, you've even learned to lie to your older sister now~~"

Seeing Song Xiaomeng's spring-like smile suddenly turn into a cold autumn, Mu Yun subconsciously shivered.

Wow, that was an amazing face-changing move!

Are Psychic-type trainers really that sensitive?

"Xiaomeng, I was just worried that you came too early and didn't get enough sleep, which is bad for your health!" Mu Yun smiled, his eyes full of sincerity and concern as he looked at Song Xiaomeng.

Just then, a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, and a beam of sunlight, not too intense, pierced through and fell directly on Mu Yun, as if draping him in a shimmering golden veil.

Song Xiaomeng subconsciously raised her head and met those gentle eyes that seemed to be shining. The deep gaze was like a glacier melting in the warm sun, gradually rippling with water, like a spring forest pond touched by a gentle breeze.

Xiaoyun, you're so pretty, you look like an angel!

I'm thinking about that~~

As if remembering something, Song Xiaomeng's fair face flushed red. She subconsciously lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, her legs rubbing together unnaturally, making the sound of fabric rubbing together.

Just as she was wondering whether she should reach out and grab his collar and stand on tiptoe, she saw that Mu Yun had already walked more than ten meters away.

"Xiaomeng, what's wrong? Let's go!"

Perhaps noticing that Song Xiaomeng hadn't caught up for a long time, Mu Yun stopped a short distance away, turned around, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Ah? Yes! Coming, coming!"

Song Xiaomeng seemed to have a momentary lapse in concentration, unconsciously uttering a few "uh-huhs" before snapping back to reality. She muttered in annoyance, "Why are you rushing me? Doesn't walking take time?"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she couldn't help but laugh. With her eyes crinkling and her face beaming, she quickly ran towards Mu Yun.

Under the sunlight, her smile was as bright as spring flowers, and the lingering blush on her face was just like the life and vitality of spring.

"Couldn't you have waited for me when I stopped?" Song Xiaomeng came to Mu Yun's side, her voice clear and bright.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

"Definitely!"

"Definitely, definitely~~"

"Hmph! It had better be!"

Song Xiaomeng wrinkled her nose, seemingly dissatisfied with Mu Yun's perfunctory attitude, and gave a soft snort.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yun, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him, and said something out of the blue.

"Sister Xiaomeng, I'm always here for you."

Although Mu Yun spoke with a calm expression and a flat tone, Song Xiaomeng felt that Mu Yun at this moment gave people an extremely firm feeling.

His determination was as firm as if he were making a lifelong promise to protect her!

She's clearly the older sister, and Mu Yun is the younger brother!

She should be the one protecting him!

Even though it's only been a semester since we last met, why does Xiaoyun seem so different to her? She's become so determined and confident, and even a little bit domineering!

Although Xiaoyun had worked very hard before, she had a lazy and easygoing nature deep down.

However, this confident and slightly domineering Xiaoyun is even more attractive!

I don't want to go on the date anymore. I just want Little Sun to kidnap him and take him home for me! Ahhhhh!!

Sun Elf: Mom, I'm begging you, please don't bother me when you're making a fuss. I just want to watch a beauty show in peace.

..............................

For Mu Yun, there are not many people in this world he cares about.

Having been an orphan in his past life, he had been prepared since childhood to live a lonely and cold life again.

But everyone has a heart, and if given a choice, who wouldn't want a happy family and someone who loves them?

Mu Yun was unfortunate, yet also fortunate. Aunt Wang, Duo Duo, Sister Xiao Meng, Uncle Song, Aunt Zhu, Jian Hao, and Hai Long were all beams of light in his life, dispelling his loneliness and desolation.

Although there's a rather cheesy saying, the phrase "a dragon has its own scales" really fits Mu Yun's current situation, even though he's just a young dragon in the process of growing up.

Mu Yun was not an arrogant person and never thought that being a transmigrator made him superior to others. In the beginning, he didn't even plan to become a trainer.

But the system's appearance gave him the confidence to be extraordinary! It gave him the potential to become a dragon! It gave him the power to protect!

"Xiaoyun, what are you thinking about?"

On the way, Song Xiaomeng looked at Mu Yun with curiosity. She felt that at this moment, there seemed to be a lion raising its head and roaring in Mu Yun's eyes.

It's just that Mu Yun didn't hear Song Xiaomeng's inner thoughts, otherwise he would definitely have told her that having a lion in your eyes can lead to bad luck.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Mu Yun shook his head, then subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed Song Xiaomeng's little head that was leaning in.

As soon as he touched her head, Mu Yun realized that the person in front of him was not Duo Duo, but Sister Xiao Meng, who hated being touched on the head!

He had touched it a few times before, and then Sister Xiaomeng released the little sun and flew him like a kite several times.

But unexpectedly, Song Xiaomeng didn't react much this time. No, to be precise, she didn't react excessively. She just lowered her head, gave a soft "oh," and that was it.

Seeing this, Mu Yun felt a little curious and reached out to touch it again.

In return, Song Xiaomeng narrowed her eyes slightly and touched the hand that held the Poké Ball pouch at her waist.

Oh no, this is a sign that he's about to be sent flying!

Seeing this, Mu Yun decisively withdrew his hand, whistled silently, and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Hmph! Coward! I never said you couldn't touch me!"

Watching Mu Yun's retreating figure, Song Xiaomeng murmured softly.

She squinted not because she was angry, but because when she was too shy, she would unconsciously put on a stern face.

Subconsciously reaching for the Poké Ball was just a way to get Sun out and ease the tension.

Mu Yun: Putting me in the sky was to ease the tension? What a niche and unusual method!

..............................

After traversing the deserted campus, Mu Yun and Song Xiaomeng quickly arrived at the first floor of the logistics building, in the corridor where the gravity chamber was located.

"Nuts, nuts~~"

Upon seeing Mu Yun, Nut Dumbbell happily waved its tentacles in greeting.

"Is this your teacher's elf? It looks pretty powerful."

Although Song Xiaomeng didn't have the "Data Eye" to see the specific strength of the Nut Dumbbell, she could tell at a glance that the Nut Dumbbell was quite strong after so many years on the school team and in many competitions.

But you'll only know the specifics after you've tried it!

"Nuts Dumbbell, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Song Xiaomeng. I have some things to do today, so I'll just do a little workout this morning. I won't be coming this afternoon or evening," Mu Yun said.

"nut!!!"

Upon hearing that Mu Yun was taking the day off, the nut dumbbell's waving tentacles paused, seemingly somewhat bewildered.

You've taken leave, so what am I supposed to do?

What to do about delicious lunch and dinner!

The three tentacles on the head of the nut dumbbell drooped down, looking quite disappointed.

"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with her?"

Not quite understanding what was going on, Song Xiaomeng nudged Mu Yun's waist with her elbow and asked softly.

It's just asking for leave, why is it like she's lost her dream? If this were an anime, she'd probably be black and white by now.

Logically speaking, if Mu Yun takes leave, shouldn't she also be able to rest? Isn't that a good thing?
