Chapter 915 Xia You-ge, I like you

After talking for a while in the living room, Xia You took another look at the room she used to live in.

His previous room was on the second floor, at the other end of the master bedroom, directly opposite Serena's bedroom.

When he opened the door, he found that the room was exactly as it had been before, just like it had been when he lived there.

It was spotless and tidy, clearly cleaned every day.

It also has a faint, youthful fragrance.

The only difference was that there was a mark on the white sheets that someone had lain on.

Upon seeing that Xia You had noticed the mark, Serena's face immediately turned red.

Xia You could only pretend not to see it, and sighed, "I didn't expect that this place hasn't changed at all, it's still the same layout, it feels like it was just yesterday."

Serena smiled sheepishly: "I was just afraid you might come back someday. See, now it's come in handy."

Hearing their conversation, Xiaoyao, who was following behind them, became even more certain of her earlier guess.

Moreover, she discovered that the two people spoke in very similar tones, and even their expressions were very similar!

I remember reading a coming-of-age book once, which seemed to say that if someone secretly likes another person, they will subconsciously imitate that person's tone of voice and mannerisms. And now...

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly saw Serena turn around and look at her.

"Xiaoyao, why don't you sleep in the same room with me tonight? I have a lot of questions I want to ask you!"

"Huh? Oh, okay..."

Turning around as well, Xia You looked at Serena and Xiaoyao, who seemed to have become best friends as soon as they met, and couldn't help but smile.

"Xiaoyao, you're going to sleep with Serena, so you'd better be prepared. She's a real sleepyhead. She won't get up until the sun is high in the sky. I remember I had to wake her up every few days back then."

Serena blushed deeply: "Brother Xia You, why are you saying this..."

Seeing Xiaoyao's smiling face, Xia You naturally didn't let her off the hook, and said to Serina, "But it's okay, Xiaoyao is known for her good sleep quality, so the two of you can just get together."

Now it was Xiaoyao's turn to feel a little embarrassed.

The three of them sat in Xia You's bedroom for a while and chatted for a bit. When Saqi called them for dinner, they went downstairs together.

It has to be said that Saki has been able to raise Serena all by herself and take care of such a large family for so long, which shows that she is an extremely capable woman. In particular, her cooking skills are quite superb, and she is no less capable than Xiao Gang.

It could also be said that Serena's excellent culinary skills during her travels were entirely due to Sachi's guidance.

This allowed her to prepare a table full of delicious food in just under an hour. The food, which had been spoiled in Yuanzhu City a few days ago, made Xiaoyao's appetite return just by looking at its color and smelling its aroma.

"Please don't be shy, have a seat."

Sachi invited the two to sit down, and seeing that Xiao Yao was still standing there, Xia You couldn't help but laugh and say, "Come and try Aunt Sachi's cooking, it's definitely as good as Xiao Gang's!"

Once all four were seated, Sachi raised the juice in front of her.

"Let's drink to Xia You's return and Xiao Yao's visit!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Including Xia You, everyone finished their juice in one gulp. At this moment, Xiao Yao clearly realized how easy-going Sachi and Serina were, and what their attitude towards Xia You was.

It's clear they truly consider him family!

After putting down her empty cup, Saki belatedly asked Xia You, "Are you planning to travel around here this time?"

"No." Xia You shook her head gently. "I'm just coming back to stay for a few days. Next, I'm going to Sinnoh."

"Sinnoh?" Upon hearing this place, Saki couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. "I went there when I was young and participated in many competitions there. Thinking about it now, it really brings back fond memories..."

Across from Xia You, even though she already knew that Xia You wouldn't stay here for long, Serena still felt a pang of disappointment when she heard that he would only be staying for a few days.

At that moment, Xia You also turned her gaze to Serena.

"Have you been training with the one-horned rhinoceros every day during this time?"

“Of course.” Upon hearing Xia You speak to her, Serena immediately smiled broadly, but then quickly sighed, “That’s very tiring. I even scraped my hand yesterday after falling off a rhinoceros.”

"Still as clumsy as ever, you haven't changed at all."

Xia You laughed heartily, then turned to look at Xiao Yao and said, "But don't let her appearance fool you, she's actually very popular with one-horned rhinoceroses. No, I should say, there's a certain quality about her that's very attractive to one-horned rhinoceroses, even wild ones!"

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Amidst laughter and chatter, a joyful atmosphere filled the air, and Xia You shared some interesting stories from her travels with the mother and son.

Unlike Serena's cold words over the phone, when Xia You described it in person, she herself felt as if she had been transported to that wonderful trip.

Looking at Xiaoyao, she felt a pang of envy.

so good……

To be able to travel with Xia Youge.

……

night.

After washing up, Xiaoyao didn't go back to Serena's room, but instead knocked on Xia You's door.

Xia You was lying in bed, flipping through a guidebook titled "How to Become an Excellent Trainer." When she saw Xiao Yao come in, she looked at her curiously.

"what happened?"

Shaking her head, Xiao Yao pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Xia You.

"What are you looking at?"

Waving the book in her hand, Xia You smiled and said, "This is the first gift I bought for myself after I came here and earned money by working. It's a book about how to become a qualified trainer. Thanks to it, I avoided a lot of detours and was able to grow up quickly."

However, after she finished speaking, Xia You noticed that Xiao Yao seemed a little distracted, which made her feel a bit strange.

"You didn't come here just to chat, did you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the door. Seeing that the door was closed properly, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother Xia You, did something happen between you and Serina?"

With a frown, Xia You put down her book and sat up straight.

Why do you ask that?

"It's just..." Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, "...it just feels like the atmosphere between you two is really strange..."

"Even you noticed..."

Xiaoyao pressed further, "Did something happen?"

Xia You turned to look out the window and saw that the moonlight was bright and the stars were twinkling, illuminating the town. There was not a sound in the town, and only the lights coming from the other houses made people realize that the town was not deserted.

"I can only blame myself for being too young back then."

"!?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao looked at him in disbelief and blurted out without thinking, "What did you do to her?! Brother Xia You, that's illegal!!!"

Xia You glared at her fiercely.

"You idiot! What nonsense are you spouting!?"

Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue shyly.

"Hehe, just trying to lighten the mood, don't be angry."

"You're getting more and more restless." Shaking her head, Xia You sighed, but continued, "Actually... I'm just too good to her."

"What does this mean?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled. "Isn't it good to be kind to someone?"

"Of course it would be great," Xia You said with deep emotion, "but it depends on the time and the person."

Thinking back to when I first transmigrated to this world, everything felt very new and exciting.

They showed a strong desire to explore Pokémon, the environment, and the world.

She is particularly attentive to characters appearing in the anime, especially Serena.

This was both the excitement of seeing her in person and a feeling of affection for this beautiful young girl.

The two are inseparable for most of the day.

During this time, they gradually got to know each other.

To deepen the relationship between each other.

I made her happy unintentionally.

We got lost together in the small town.

They fell off the one-horned rhinoceros together.

We got caught in the rain because we walked too far.

They both endured Sachi's scolding.

We lay together on the haystacks on the farm, looking at the stars, talking about dreams and Pokémon, getting ourselves covered in weeds.

It could be said that Serena introduced him to the world, while Xia You introduced Serena to himself.

Little did he know that a handsome, gentle, and considerate older brother taking such good care of a young girl would get him into trouble.

For example, he won her heart.

At first, Xia You was somewhat smug about this. After all, as everyone knows, Serena in the anime always had a little figure in her heart. Although she herself did not realize it until that figure reappeared, it was extremely difficult for her to fall in love with someone else.

That's why Xia You was very pleased when she realized Serena's feelings, thinking she had accomplished the impossible.

But soon, he felt regret and fear for his unintentional change.

Serena is really too deeply involved and too serious!

Before Xia You arrived, Serena's daily life consisted of going to school and training the one-horned rhinoceros, which was monotonous and boring. But when Xia You appeared, she brought great joy and novelty to her ordinary days.

This made Serena's gaze towards him even bolder and full of love.

Sometimes it even became a habit, and she made no attempt to hide it, even in front of Saki, and her actions became increasingly bold.

An unintentional physical contact with Xia You.

She unconsciously fell onto him while laughing hysterically.

He openly wore his coat and shirt.

Every night after washing up, instead of going back to his own room, he would wear shorts and, in front of Xia You, bare his beautiful legs and sway back and forth on his bed while reading comics.

Even when the two were strolling around town and someone jokingly said, "Hey Xia You, you've brought your little girlfriend out again!" they just smiled slightly.

What's most deadly is that whenever Xia You's face gets close to hers, Serena's breathing quickens and she subconsciously looks at his lips, showing a strong tendency to move closer and take the initiative to move forward!

Fortunately, she ultimately prevailed over impulse and did not do it.

But it's also clear how deeply she's gone.

Moreover, it must be said that Serena ultimately knew to conceal and restrain herself in front of Saki.

Despite this, although Saki noticed something amiss, she simply regarded Serena's feelings as a little girl's natural affection for her brother and didn't think much of it.

Because of his guilty conscience, Xia You was always terrified whenever he saw Saqi's scrutinizing gaze.

There was nothing I could do; I was living under someone else's roof, and yet I had offended her daughter!

Besides, to be honest, it's not that he doesn't like Serena.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten so close to her.

But that affection was more like a brother's love for his sister, and the fondness he felt for Serena when watching the anime, rather than romantic love.

Even after getting to know her, he was attracted to this pretty girl who was lively and cheerful in front of him, always had a sweet smile on her face, kept calling him "Brother Xia You" and liked to cling to him, but he still didn't have any other improper thoughts!

After all, Xia You could accept that she, at thirty, was dating Serena, at twenty, but she would never allow herself, at twenty, to have any emotional entanglement with Serena, at ten!

But by then it was too late to turn back.

He could control himself, but he couldn't control Serena's emotions.
