I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

"This..." Such an evil scene made Dr. Yanase a little worried, but he was hugged by Bell Ritz and said, "Trust Xu Li!"

Shrouded in layers of black fog, Platinum's eyes trembled slightly, and her furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Suddenly...

"Well!"

Platinum straightened her whole body and broke out in a cold sweat, but to the surprise of the Berlitz couple, Platinum... opened her eyes!

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Gengar's comfortable laughter also sounded. It was so full, just like the Spear Pillar being poured with water by Darkrai.

Chapter 85: Xiaozhao, Xiaoguang, and Platinum

“Mom and Dad…”

When Platinum saw her parents looking at her with such joy, she couldn't help sobbing and shedding tears.

She felt like she had been having a nightmare for a long time, until a Gengar entered her dream and she woke up.

"Plantina...it's okay...it's okay."

The Belllits excitedly stepped forward and embraced Platinum. Butler Sebastian beside them took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his tears. Miss Platinum, finally... rescued...

"Kou Jie~"

Gengar looked at this scene with a satisfied expression. After being stroked on the head by Xu Li, he turned to Xu Li and gave him a big smile.

"Geng Gui, that's awesome." Xu Li said softly.

"Kou Jie!"

Gengar felt that the happiness in the air now was better than Darkrai's nightmare!

At this moment, the bedroom door was quietly opened, and a young girl poked her head out. Seeing Platinum hugging her parents for the first time, she couldn't help but cheer in surprise and walked over quickly.

"Sister Platinum! You're awake!"

"Xiao Guang!" Platinum also opened her arms and hugged Xiao Guang.

Xu Li looked at Xiaoguang who walked in. He was wearing a white knitted hat and exuded youthful vitality. He looked exactly like Platinum and Xiaozhao.

After their family calmed down, Xiaoguang finally saw Xu Li.

"Xu Li...Brother..." Xiaoguang's voice trembled, and he looked at Xu Li nervously.

Xu Li heard from Bell Ritz that Xiaoguang had been blaming himself since Xu Li's disappearance... He had always believed that he was the culprit for Xu Li's death, and that if he hadn't asked Zhulan and Xu Li to take him out to play, Xu Li wouldn't have disappeared...

So, Xu Li has been back for almost a month, and Xiao Guang has been afraid to see Xu Li...

Seeing Xiaoguang's expression, Xu Li walked forward gently and said with a smile: "What? Are you not happy to see me?"

Xiaoguang shook his head repeatedly but couldn't say a word, tears welled up in his eyes.

Xu Li didn't say anything. He opened his arms and gently hugged Xiaoguang. Feeling Xiaoguang's trembling body, he patted him gently.

"This is not the lively Xiaoguang I know." Xu Li said softly.

Suddenly I felt a wetness on my chest.

"Woo..." Xiaoguang buried his face in Xu Li's chest, and the long-suppressed cry burst out, as if he wanted to vent all the self-blame he felt every night when he thought of Xu Li.

Belrich smiled when he saw this scene.

Ever since Xu Li disappeared that night, Xiaoguang's eyes seemed filled with self-blame and sadness. He didn't dare face Xu Li until he reappeared. As a father, he couldn't accept it, so he concealed the news of Xu Li's arrival in Belrith, only informing Xiaoguang that his sister, Platinum, might have recovered and asking Xiaoguang to come...

Now it seems that I did the right thing... Bellrich nodded with satisfaction.

After a long time.

Xu Li patted Xiao Guang's shoulder and said, "Alright, if you keep crying you'll become like Pogaman."

"Boga?"

Pogaman stuck his head out of the door and nodded, then realized something... and puffed up his face. What did he mean by if he kept crying he would be like Pogaman!

Does Pogaman look like a crybaby?

Xiao Guang, upon hearing Xu Li's words, gently loosened his arms, then raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Xu Li, I miss you so much!"

Xu Li wiped Xiaoguang's tears with his sleeve and said, "I miss you too."

"Thank you very much, Xu Li."

Seeing that Xiaoguang's emotions had stabilized, the Bellritts couple solemnly expressed their gratitude to Xu Li.

If Xu Li hadn't taken action, they would still be searching for a solution...

Xu Li waved his hand and said, "Nothing. I was going to come here anyway to see if Xiao Zhao could regain his memory..."

Hearing Xu Li say this, everyone's attention shifted to Xiao Zhao... then looked at Xiao Guang in front of Xu Li and Platinum on the bed.

"The three ladies have exactly the same faces..." Butler Sebastian couldn't help but mutter.

Although Xiaozhao, Xiaoguang and Platinum have exactly the same face, their temperaments are not exactly similar.

Xiaoguang is as kind and cute as a sunny girl next door, and Platinum is like an elegant and noble lady.

Xiaozhao may have spent more time in the wilds of Xicui, and has a tenacity and courage unique to young girls.

"Yes." Xu Li beckoned Xiaozhao to his side, "Xiaozhao may have experienced a time-space disorder and lost some of her memory..."

Seeing his wife glaring at him, Berlitz immediately said, "But I'm sure I only have two daughters, Xiaoguang and Platinum..."

"Time and space are in disarray..." Butler Sebastian muttered, and then a flash of inspiration struck him. "I think I have an idea!"

After saying that, Butler Sebastian left without stopping.

After a while, he came back with a thick booklet.

"I don't know if the head of the family remembers, but when I was sorting through the family handbook, I saw a portrait that looked very similar to the young lady..." Butler Sebastian said as he flipped through the handbook. "I found it! Miss Xiaozhao... take a look and see if this is you..."

Xiaozhao leaned in closer. Perhaps because camera technology wasn't as advanced back then, the photo was a little blurry... but Xiaozhao could definitely tell it bore a striking resemblance to both him and Xiaoguang Platinum...

"It describes... this young lady suddenly vanished when she was just over ten years old, leaving no trace..." Steward Sebastian continued, "but for some reason, she didn't even leave her name, only this record..."

Xiaozhao and Xu Li looked at each other, and Xu Li saw the shock in Xiaozhao's eyes.

"Xiao Zhao, do you remember anything?" Xu Li asked.

Xiaozhao still shook his head, but...suddenly disappearing at the age of ten, didn't that mean Xiaozhao had traveled back to Xicui's age...

"It can be basically confirmed... Xiaozhao is this young lady..." Xu Li said, and briefly explained what happened between him and Xiaozhao in Xicui. "If you don't believe it, perhaps we can try to determine the blood relationship..."

Bell Ritz shook his head. "With such appearance, he must be from our Bell Ritz family... No matter what, we will be responsible for Xiaozhao."

After listening to Xu Li's explanation, Belrich realized for the first time that Xu Li's disappearance was actually a time travel to the past...

"Wait!" Bellrich suddenly realized something, "So, what about Xiaozhao's generation? Let me count... there's a gap of five generations..."

"Isn't Xiaozhao my great-great-grandmother's sister?" Belrit said in surprise.

Xiaozhao and Xu Li: "..."

Xiaoguang and Platinum looked at Xiaozhao in confusion. Platinum couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we call Xiaozhao... Auntie?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhao shook his head repeatedly, "No need to call me that... Just think of me as someone from this generation..."

"Then Xiaozhao, please stay at our Bellrich's house." Bellrich said, "We will take good care of Xiaozhao!!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao looked at Xu Li.

Compared to staying at the Bellrich home, Xiaozhao would rather stay with Xu Li...

"Stay for a few days at least." Xu Li said with a smile, "If you are bullied, come to Shenhe Town immediately. We will support you."

"Xu Li, you're insulting me!" Bell Ritzy yelled, "Xiao Zhao will definitely be taken very, very good care of!"

Chapter 86: Drained by Zhulan...

Zhulan has been a little worried recently.

I've been in less and less contact with Ali lately...

Because of his responsibilities as Sinnoh Champion, because Ali also has various things to do, and because... there are too many women around Ali...

Especially Nancy. Although Zhulan doesn’t hate Nancy, on the contrary, she likes this younger sister very much.

But every morning when she opened Ali's door and saw the messy bed, Zhulan knew that Nazi had sneaked into Ali's bed again...

Although Zhulan knew they hadn't done anything, she still felt bad. She would have been satisfied if only A-Li had returned.

But now... seeing Nancy's performance, Zhulan felt that she was not satisfied with the status quo.

Thinking back to when Kalos Champion Kaluni saw my condition and offered that one-step solution...

When Zhulan thought of that scene with A-li, her face turned red unconsciously...

Shaking her head violently, Zhulan thought it wasn't necessary to rush... Then she should start from the first step...

……

After letting Xiaozhao stay in the Bellrich family, Xu Li returned to Shenhe Town by himself in Bellrich's special car.

Only one morning had passed, and there was still plenty of time in the day.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Zhulan who had been waiting for a long time.

Her delicate face without any makeup is still so beautiful, and her long golden hair falls softly into the collar, looking even brighter against the black hair accessories.

"A Li, let's go!" Zhu Lan, dressed in black casual clothes, showed youth and vitality that were not often seen in daily life, and was blinking at Xu Li.

"Please come in, beautiful Miss Zhulan." Xu Li said with a smile.

It was because of Zhulan's invitation that Xu Li came back directly from the Belriti family.

Strolling with Zhulan on the commercial street near Shenhe Town.

"Come to think of it...we haven't done this in a long time." Zhulan said softly.

The last time I spent time alone with Ali like this was when I was a child.

"Yeah..." Xu Li smiled, and when he saw the ice cream machine, he suddenly asked, "Want some ice cream?"

"Yeah!" Zhulan nodded repeatedly.

Xu Li walked over to the ice cream machine and patted the sleeping Mini Ice lying on top of it, "Hey, time to work!"

"Miduo~"

Mini Ice opened his eyes dazedly. How could anyone like to eat ice cream in such a cold climate?

But complaining is useless. Mini Ice can only get into the ice cream machine and help customers make ice cream...

"Give."

Zhulan took the ice cream from Xu Li and tasted the long-lost flavor.

Although he loved ice cream, he rarely ate it after Xu Li disappeared. Without Ali to help him choose, he would hesitate in front of the ice cream machine for an hour or two, which would bring back bad memories.

But now... everything is fine...

This is all I need, to be alone with Xu Li like this, to take the ice cream that Xu Li handed over calmly, and to lick the sweet taste of the ice cream...

Zhulan felt that she was satisfied with this and did not need what Caroline called "all in one go".

However, not long after...

"Brother Xu Li...I didn't expect to see you here."

The slender black-haired girl threw herself on her own A-li, pressing herself tightly against him...

"Nazi, stop it..."

No matter how hard Ali struggled, he couldn't break free.

At this point, the date that originally belonged to him and Ali alone... turned into a parallel date for three people...

Ice cream, three servings, marshmallows, three servings, various snacks, three servings...

Obviously, I only need to be alone with Ali for a short while...

Zhulan couldn't help but puff up her cheeks. Even if she loved Nancy so much, she would become annoying at this moment...

Slowly, the sky darkened.
