Chapter 57: This Is The Weekend A Real Man Should Have
The Saturday everyone has been looking forward to.
Fairy Fire and Blue-winged Flying Bird on the full moon night sold like hotcakes. Zuo Hang has been making a killing these past few days. Skill Application day was Thursday night, but just that one night plus Friday, and the balance of Contribution Points rose by two digits.
Rumor has it Xingye is going to livestream eating a TM tonight, not sure if it’s real or fake.
Zuo Hang didn’t take it to heart. The Class Monitor’s task was just said in passing, but Xingye seems dead set on eating it. He even specially opened a livestream room on Bilibili for it, and yesterday he dragged Zuo Hang to test the camera and such.
Today is Saturday, and Zuo Hang promised to go to Jiang Xia’s tea party.
It’s not that he wants to go himself, but he wants to take Zuo Rou to interact more with the outside world.
Arriving at his sister’s dormitory, just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a weird song coming from inside the room.
“I’m not going to work today! So refreshing~ Super chill~ I’m not going to work today, I’ll laze however I want~ Not working tomorrow either, no need to act like a simp in front of Xi Ran~~”
“Poff~~ge~~Poff~~ge~~”
Zuo Hang: “???”
When he opened the door, Zuo Rou was standing on the bed, using a pen as a microphone. Turtwig was bouncing around on the bed in coordination with Zuo Rou, and the scene was extremely awkward for a moment.
Zuo Hang sighed.
“Stop bouncing, taking you to a good place.”
“Not going.” Zuo Rou answered without thinking.
“There’s good food.”
Zuo Rou spread her legs apart, half-kneeling on the bed, squinting at Zuo Hang, “I’m already 16, don’t try to trick me with methods to fool a 6-year-old girl anymore!”
Zuo Hang said: “Not tricking you, there really is good food.”
“Pika~” The Electric Mouse nodded along with Zuo Hang.
“No bad people, should all be very approachable guys, maybe even Water-type Pokémon.” Zuo Hang added.
“Pika~” The Electric Mouse continued nodding in coordination with Zuo Hang.
Her originally listless eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words “Water-type Pokémon”.
“A lot?” Zuo Rou asked.
“A lot.”
“Any Gyarados, Cloyster, Toad King, Bass?”
“Uh, this… probably not.”
“Then it’s no fun, not going!”
Zuo Hang pondered.
Toad King, Bass.
These two guys’ appearances are floor-level among Water-type Pokémon.
What to do when his own sister’s aesthetics are a bit strange?
“Actually, whether you go or not isn’t up to you to decide. I was just asking you, no intention of considering your feelings.” Zuo Hang took out Gardevoir’s Poké Ball.
“Same old rule, Psychic!”
Gardevoir skillfully dragged Zuo Rou up, and even neatly fixed her hair for her. Turtwig barked wildly “Poffge~ Poffge~”, as if protesting. Gardevoir snapped her fingers, tossed Hypnosis over, and Turtwig instantly quieted down.
Half an hour later, Student Union Activity Room.
Zuo Hang stood at the doorway. He swore he wasn’t trying to eavesdrop; it was just that this door’s soundproofing was really bad.
Jiang Xia said from inside the door: “You set it up properly, some junior students are coming soon.”
Huohuo asked from inside the door: “Junior students? Which ones?”
“Zuo Hang.”
“Zuo Hang? Don’t you guys have a bad relationship? Hmm? Some people say on the surface not to let him into the Student Union but actually find ways to invite him in. Is this Vice President Jiang Xia? I’m in love.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t. This isn’t the first tea party, thought to invite a few more people. Anyway, I’ve made so much, just the three of us can’t finish it.”
“Ahem…” Zuo Hang coughed a few times at the doorway, “Um… you guys should replace this door, the soundproofing is really not good.”
Jiang Xia smiled, “No problem, it’s an activity room anyway. Sit down, eh?? Zuo Rou came too? Then it’s five people.”
Han Dao, sitting in the corner fiddling with an electric guitar, nodded at Zuo Hang, counting as a greeting.
Gardevoir’s Psychic released, Zuo Rou landed.
Except for Han Dao whom she wasn’t too familiar with, she knew Jiang Xia and Huohuo. Zuo Rou unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
“Mom! I’m here!” Xingye suddenly pushed the door open.
Zuo Hang turned back, couldn’t help saying, “No way, why are you everywhere?”
“Hey, the way you say that, what do you mean everywhere? Didn’t my mom call me here?”
“Aww, good son, come sit quick.” Huohuo smilingly pulled out a stool for him.
Zuo Hang couldn’t help wanting to applaud Xingye.
Old simp.
Zuo Hang casually found a seat and sat down.
The activity room had a “U”-shaped long table set up, with various desserts and Pokémon food on it.
Tea party.
As the name implies, it’s for eating.
Jiang Xia pulled out the chair next to Zuo Hang and said: “This is Shache bread, the filling inside is baked almonds wrapped in a tiny bit of chocolate.”
Zuo Hang looked at the golden bread in the white plate in front of him and unconsciously swallowed.
The hand reaching for the food paused in mid-air; he suddenly felt that grabbing this food directly with hands might be a blasphemy.
Zuo Hang wiped his hand on his school uniform and carefully picked up the Shache bread in front of him, as if afraid crumbs would fall.
“Crunch~” His teeth bit through the crispy outer layer, and at the same time touched the chocolate-baked almond inside. The special creamy richness mixed with the silky texture of baked chocolate, two ultimate flavors instantly assaulting the depths of Zuo Hang’s taste buds.
“Uh this…”
“This is way too delicious!!”
If there exists in this world a food that brings happiness with one bite, then Zuo Hang is undoubtedly now surrounded by this happiness.
Jiang Xia introduced them one by one to Zuo Hang, “This is apple pie, tiramisu… and this, my special chocolate mousse.”
“Over there is Pokémon shaved ice, and Poffins, probably all Rare level. Sorry, this is the best I can make now.”
Pokémon Poffins are divided into five levels.
Plain, Rare, Rich, Ultra, Master.
Five levels, it’s said each has subtly different flavors, and using them has a certain chance to increase the affection between Trainer and Pokémon.
As long as you can make Rare-level Poffins, you’ve preliminarily stepped into the threshold of being a Pokémon Breeder.
Zuo Hang seemed to have heard Huohuo say that the reason Jiang Xia chose to run for Vice President again was because her goal is to become the League’s top Pokémon Breeder.
Just like Pokémon Master, a Pokémon Breeder must have works they can show off. Trainers who only train Pokémon according to textbooks and breeding manuals can’t become Pokémon Masters, and Breeders who only make Poffins according to recipes can never become Pokémon Breeders.
Zuo Hang released Darkrai, smiling as he said: “Today is a tea party, play casually with everyone.”
Darkrai who just came out was stunned; he’d never seen Zuo Hang smile before.
Hang Hang who always had a cold face actually smiled. Darkrai showed a what-the-hell expression, just about to say something when Gardevoir suddenly handed him a bowl of shaved ice.
“Dark??”?（What’s this?）”
“Garde~（Shaved ice, delicious.）”
“Dark?（Delicious? Better than Nightmare?）”
Gardevoir was stunned for a few seconds, “Garde~ Garde~~（I haven’t eaten Nightmare, should be better than Nightmare）”
I originally didn’t want to write daily life, but that handsome book friend gave too mu.
