Originally, the girl might still feel shy because of that sentence, but when you are in a hurry to cut off the relationship, she will instead fall into a situation where she thinks you look down on her. Once a girl falls into this situation, you will probably give up.
Sure enough, when Gongsun Yan was halfway through his words, he secretly glanced at Liliae and found that the originally shy Liliae began to puff out her beard and glare, as if waiting for Gongsun Yan to finish his words so that she could beat him up.
"Actually...actually, it's all true." After discovering this, Gongsun Yan simply dropped what he wanted to say one by one and admitted it directly.
Gongsun Yan's straight ball attack obviously caught everyone by surprise. People outside the door said that they were hurt by Gongsun Yan's show. Liliae also came out of her previous state of killing gods and Buddhas and became shy again.
The strange thing is that after Gongsun Yan said this, he didn't feel anything wrong, as if he really thought so in his heart. This made Gongsun Yan feel very frightened, and he couldn't help but wonder when he started to become perverted.
However, Gongsun Yan's thinking did not last long. His actions just now could only be regarded as passing the first gate of hell. If he was only focused on the storm in his brain and left the other party aside, it would definitely cause more serious consequences than before.
Although Gongsun Yan didn't know how he knew all this strange knowledge when he had been alone in his mother's womb for two lifetimes, this did not stop him from scanning the room to see if there was any topic to talk about. The current situation was so embarrassing that Gongsun Yan wanted to dig out a three-bedroom and one-living-room house with his feet.
"Eh? What is this doll?"
At this moment, Gongsun Yan suddenly discovered something. It seemed that something that shouldn't appear appeared in this room.
Gongsun Yan walked to the head of the bed with a look of surprise, picked up the Pipi doll that Xingzi had placed next to his pillow, and looked it up and down.
If Gongsun Yan remembered correctly, this doll should have been made by him himself. After making this Pipi doll, he seemed to want to send it to someone, but for various reasons he gave up the idea and instead placed it on his bedside table. Then his consciousness awakened.
"Why did this doll appear here? Was it sent by my mother? But why? I don't quite understand... Damn, it can't be such a coincidence!"
Just when Gongsun Yan was puzzled, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Liliae beside him, and an extremely absurd thought flooded into his mind. Liliae's face gradually overlapped with a crying little girl in his memory.
"Well, what can I say? The inertia of fate is too great." Gongsun Yan suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and turned his attention back to Liliae.
"Here, this doll is for you."
Gongsun Yan said this in a very strange tone and placed the Pippi doll in Liliae's hand.
"Hey, Lilia, can you listen to my story?"
Before Liliae figured out why Gongsun Yan gave her the doll, she saw Gongsun Yan sitting on the bed, lost in his memories. For some reason, Liliae felt a little distressed for Gongsun Yan now. She hugged the Pipi doll and sat next to Gongsun Yan.
"This story starts five years ago..."
As for the story told by Gongsun Yan, it was actually very simple. Five years ago, Gongsun Yan once traveled to the Alola region with his mother. Lusamine, as his mother's best friend and a local boss, naturally had to receive them, so the two of them lived in the Ether Paradise, which was not that large.
I won't go into the stories that happened during that time, the most important point is that Gongsun Yan was a complete naughty kid at the time. He caused a lot of trouble when he first arrived at the Aether Paradise. The biggest thing was that he tore up a Pippi doll of Liliae, who was only four years old at the time.
The whole process was very simple. When the naughty boy Gongsun Yan saw a delicate-looking Pipi doll on the table, he subconsciously took it in his hand and played with it for a few times, and then he was discovered by Liliae.
This doll was actually a gift given to Liliae when she was still a baby by Liliae's father, Dr. Moon, before he disappeared. So Liliae treasures this doll very much and never lets anyone touch it, not even her mother.
That day, Liliae accidentally dropped her doll on the table. When she turned around to pick it up, she saw Gongsun Yan touching her doll. This immediately angered Liliae, and she rushed over to snatch it away.
Gongsun Yan was completely confused at the time. How could someone suddenly rush over and try to snatch the things in his hands? But as a naughty kid, he would not let go easily. Then the two of them started fighting.
This doll was originally just an ordinary doll that Moon bought in the mall. Even if two children were fighting over it, the physical fitness of the people in the Pokémon world could easily tear the doll apart.
This incident also caused Lillie's attitude towards Gongsun Yan to drop from normal to enemy. This was also the reason why Lillie was so repulsive when Lusamine asked her if she wanted to travel to Hoenn. Women always hold grudges, even underage girls are the same.
Gongsun Yan was just a little bit of a brat at the time, but he was not a bad person at heart. After seeing Lillie so sad, he realized that he was in trouble and wanted to apologize to Lillie, but he could not find the culprit. Lillie kept avoiding him until Gongsun Yan left the Alola region.
After returning to the Hoenn region, Gongsun Yan still couldn't forget the memory, so he went to find his mother and started to learn handicrafts from her.
Chapter 498: Gongsun Yan of Yasasi
"Well, at that time I had to go to school and learn other things, so I didn't have much free time, and most of it was very fragmented, so it took me more than two years to reach this level."
Gongsun Yan was lost in memories. Although the memories of his past life dominated him now, it did not mean that he did not do what happened in the past. His current emotions were highly consistent with his past self.
"When I finally mastered the technique, I immediately made the doll in my memory, but I didn't know whether I should send it to you. Maybe you have forgotten about it, and my action would only expose your scars. So in the end, I couldn't send it to you, and it has been placed on my bedside ever since..."
After listening to what Gongsun Yan said, Liliae silently looked through the Pipi doll in her hand. It was almost the same as the doll she remembered, but she could tell at a glance that it was not the same one.
The workmanship of this doll looks very immature, and even appears very rough in many places, but she feels an emotion from this doll that is no weaker than that of the original doll, which shows that the maker has put a lot of effort into it.
Gongsun Yan looked at the doll in Liliae's hand with a lot of thoughts in his mind. At the beginning, he did not think too much about it. He was just like a child who found out that he had destroyed someone else's favorite thing. He simply wanted to restore that thing bit by bit, make it again, and return it to that person.
"Hey, Liliae, do you think I was a good kid back then?" Gongsun Yan murmured.
To be honest, if this memory was not something Gongsun Yan experienced personally, he would never believe that such a person or such a thing really existed in this world.
Although Gongsun Yan in his previous life escaped the beatings of society in a tricky way, anyone who wants to escape the beatings of society naturally knows how cruel society is. It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Yan believes in the existence of kindness, but does not believe that he can see true kindness.
Once upon a time, Gongsun Yan was a young man full of passion and kindness, but after he saw how cruel society was, he shattered all his fantasies, swallowed them into his stomach, and chose to escape.
Those broken fantasies turned into rough sand and gravel, which continuously ground down Gongsun Yan's kindness, turning him into an insensitive young man, an exhausted heart, and also killing the young man.
In this life, Gongsun Yan was surprised to find that his childhood self was still the boy who was full of kindness towards the world. This made him laugh and cry, and also made him fall into deep thought, wondering if his essence had never changed.
When asking this question, Gongsun Yan was actually struggling. He had an extremely absurd idea in his mind, but in the Pokémon world, this absurd idea could really come true, so he wanted to get an answer from Liliae that could convince himself.
To borrow a line from Infernal Affairs, I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person.
"Of course it is!" Both Liliae and the people eavesdropping outside gave the same evaluation, except that Liliae said it directly while the people outside just repeated it silently in their hearts.
"Really? That's pretty good..." Gongsun Yan murmured and made a decision silently in his heart.
"Um, that, I think I said something I shouldn't have just said, just ignore it, just ignore it."
Gongsun Yan came back to his senses and suddenly realized what he had just said. Even with a thick skin like him, his face turned red with shame and he hurriedly explained.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. This doll may be a little old. You should give it back to me. I will make a new one for you in the next two days. My craftsmanship is much better now than before. I will definitely be able to make a better one for you."
Gongsun Yan originally planned to take back the old doll and make a new, more perfect doll for Lillie. After all, this was his first time giving a gift to Lillie, so of course he had to give her the best one.
"What are you doing! I want this one, this one is the best!"
However, Liliae obviously had no intention of returning the doll to Gongsun Yan. She simply hid the doll behind her back and puffed up her little chest, making it difficult for Gongsun Yan to grab it.
Gongsun Yan felt a headache when he saw this. If he continued to reach out his hand, there would be only two results. Either he would violate the 404 Law of Galactic Harmony, or he would have to hold Liliae in his arms, which would also violate the 404 Law. At the very least, he would be confined for a day, or at worst, he would lose his life.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you this, I'll give you this, don't be angry, don't be angry."
Gongsun Yan felt scared when he saw girls like this. He was not very good at communicating with girls, let alone such young girls. He had no idea what they were thinking.
After seeing Gongsun Yan give up on taking the doll back, Liliae breathed a sigh of relief. She just stood up based on her determination, and after she recovered, she felt that her behavior was inappropriate.
Putting aside the question of whether Gongsun Yan should take back the doll, based on what Gongsun Yan said in his sleep when he was unconscious, given Liliae's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for her to stand directly in front of Gongsun Yan. In his mind, Gongsun Yan is probably equated with the Big Bad Wolf.
However, Liliae really didn't want to return the doll to Gongsun Yan. Although Liliae didn't know what this reluctance in her heart was, perhaps it was good feelings or something else. After all, the two people in the room didn't have the corresponding knowledge.
"Yabai, we're stuck in a stalemate again, Gongsun Yan, use your clever little head, we can't let the situation become dull now!" Gongsun Yan felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.
That's right, when the topic of dolls ended, Gongsun Yan and Liliae fell into awkwardness again, and neither of them knew what topic to bring up to end the awkwardness.
However, Gongsun Yan's previous actions were obviously not in vain. As we all know, there is a safe distance between people. If it is less than meters, it is an intimate relationship, which usually only exists between lovers, parents, and very good friends.
If it is less than meters, it is considered a personal distance, and there is not much physical contact between each other. Ordinary friends and acquaintances can be included in this category.
If it is greater than meters, it is the social distance. When strangers talk with each other or in formal social occasions, people tend to maintain this polite distance so that no one feels embarrassed.
Chapter 499: The First Double Jump in History
If Lillie had kept a distance of more than meters from Gongsun Yan after he spoke those words, then after Gongsun Yan finished telling her story, Lillie was able to accept a distance of less than half a meter.
Although Gongsun Yan also knew this piece of knowledge, his brain was now like a mess. He couldn't even remember his own name, let alone this kind of obscure knowledge that he had no use for in his previous life.
The room fell into silence. The most anxious people were not the two parties involved, but Lusamine and her group who were eavesdropping outside. If it was not inappropriate to rush in now, they would have wanted to play remotely. Even Xiaozhi, the straight man, dared to pat his chest and say that his response would definitely be better than Gongsun Yan's.
But maybe this is the strange thing about love. Hesitation is love, and eloquence is prey. Even Xiaozhi can talk a lot of theoretical knowledge, but he has never been single after so many generations of Xiaozhi girls. It can be seen how big the difference is between the strongest king and the king of big mouth.
Gongsun Yan didn't know how anxious the people waiting outside were, but he felt like he was being burned. Liliae changed her previous attitude of avoiding Gongsun Yan and instead looked at him expectantly, obviously wanting Gongsun Yan to give her a clear answer.
But Gongsun Yan didn't dare to give this answer. It's not that he didn't like Liliae, but XX control was illegal. After all, he was an aspiring young man who grew up under the red flag in his previous life. People can't, or at least shouldn't, do that.
Just when Gongsun Yan was worrying about what to say next, he suddenly thought of something. His current situation seemed to be similar to many novels or TV dramas. So if the plot develops, the next step should be...
"Lilia, please wait a moment."
Gongsun Yan frowned, said something indifferently to Liliae, then walked directly to the door, opened it, stuck his head out, and greeted the row of acquaintances who were eavesdropping outside with a smile on his face.
"Oh, what a coincidence, shouldn't everyone be busy with their own things? Since you're already at the door, why don't you come in and sit down?"
"Uh, you're welcome."
"Yes, accidents, all accidents."
"We just realized that there was something we didn't take, so we turned back."
Looking at the people in front of him who were lying with their eyes open, Gongsun Yan sighed heavily. As he expected, whenever the protagonist wanted to express his feelings, there would definitely be a group of eavesdropping people outside the door, and they would break in and interrupt the hero and heroine when they were about to do something bad.
"It would be more appropriate for you to hide the glass in your hand before saying this. And Xiaozhi, your ear is still on the glass, do you think I'm stupid?!"
After Gongsun Yan pointed out the flaw, everyone present felt embarrassed. Liliae also walked out of the room. After seeing that her mother was also eavesdropping, she blushed immediately. She no longer wanted to ask Gongsun Yan for any explanation and pulled her mother out.
Now that Lillie, the main character, had left, there was naturally no more fun to watch. Everyone present found various excuses to run away, such as going to the toilet or eating. Xiaoyao was so stupid as to say something like her Milotic was going to lay eggs.
"Ah, Xiaozhi, you and Xiaoyao go together. Remember to bring Milotic along. At least let him meet his next generation. Be more careful next time."
After hearing Gongsun Yan's teasing words, Xiaoyao blushed and ran out of the door without looking back. She didn't know why she said such words at that time. Thinking about it now makes her feel socially dead.
Within three minutes, all the strangers left. Xiaozhi, who left last, reminded Gongsun Yan not to forget the banquet tonight. Tomorrow Tetsuya, Masamune and the others would be going home, and if they didn't get together again, there would be no chance.
Gongsun Yan naturally had no objection to this. After he knew that he had missed his award ceremony due to coma, he felt bad all over. Although he did not get the championship he wanted most, it was still an achievement of his first participation in the league competition. He had no place to say all the nonsense he had prepared.
Moreover, Gongsun Yan has a good habit, that is, a good horse never turns back. Since he has participated in the Caiyou Conference, even if he did not win the championship, Gongsun Yan will not challenge again.
Or it could be said that Gongsun Yan had not originally planned to participate in many league tournaments. After winning a league tournament, Gongsun Yan would not challenge the gym. After all, compared with the league tournament, the challenge difficulty of the gym is indeed a little smaller. His goal is naturally the Champions League or even the Kings League.
Although it sounds like the Champions League should be more powerful than the Kings League, it is not actually. The champion refers to the champion of the league competition. Anyone who has won the league competition once automatically qualifies for admission.
But the King Alliance is different. This King refers to the Four Heavenly Kings and even the Champion. Only those who have served as the Four Heavenly Kings or even the Champion can join it.
Although these two alliances sound very impressive, they are actually just a QQ group where experts make appointments to fight. At a fixed time every year, a group of experts get together to compete and encourage each other to improve.
And whoever wins first place will be rewarded. Whoever wins in the Champions League can publicly challenge a designated Four Heavenly Kings. If he wins and passes the test, he can replace the opponent and become the new Four Heavenly Kings.
The winner of the King Alliance will have the right to openly challenge the local champion. If he wins, he will become the next champion.
Qianli is the best one who stood out from the Champions League, but he only tied with a superstar at the beginning, so he only became a candidate for the superstar.
There are not only these two ways to enter these two leagues, there are other ways to enter, just like Genji planned to recommend Gongsun Yan to join the Champions League, but was rejected by Gongsun Yan. He planned to enter in an upright manner.
Another interesting point is that the time for the two alliances to fight is staggered, which means there is a possibility of a second jump.
Here comes the point. The Uranus League officially ended not long ago. With her Garchomp, Shirona completed the first second-level jump in the history of the league and became the new champion of the Sinnoh region, which shocked a group of people.
Chapter 500: Future Planning
That night, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi and their group booked a restaurant in Caiyou City in a very generous way, and only their relatives and friends were left in the entire restaurant.
Although Xiaozhi, as the winner of the Caiyou Conference, will be given a free celebration banquet by the official with all the chefs, waiters and delicious food, it is not necessary to book out such a big restaurant.
However, considering Gongsun Yan's status as the runner-up and a wealthy dog owner, President Dama Lanqi acquiesced to Gongsun Yan's behavior of using chicken feathers as a token of authority and made the restaurant agree to the request to book the entire restaurant.
Of course, no matter how powerful the alliance president is, he cannot just let the restaurant stop making money. But this restaurant is his asset after all. The boss has spoken, and the employees under him have to give some face. Besides, they will not lose any money.
"Everyone, let's have a drink to celebrate our belated celebration!" Gongsun Yan himself is a little socially anxious, but that was in front of outsiders. Now that everyone here is an acquaintance, Gongsun Yan immediately changed from a socially anxious person to a socially enthusiastic person, and started to liven up the atmosphere.
"Cheers!" The people who were invited also gave face to Gongsun Yan. Even Xiaozhi didn't care about Gongsun Yan's behavior of seeking attention and raised the glass in his hand.
Of course, due to some unspeakable reasons, except for the adults, everyone's cups were filled with Moo Moo fresh milk. A group of people directly moved out all the stock in the restaurant, and they were probably going to show off tonight.
In addition to Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi's relatives and friends, the two also invited the opponents they met in the final tournament. Coincidentally, this group of people had not left yet and stayed in Caiyou City for a while, just in time to catch this belated dinner.
Qianli and his wife also rushed over from Chenghua City. Gongsun Yan was after all Qianli's cheap apprentice. He had learned 30% of the essence of the skills in just one month, which made his teacher proud, so naturally he came to celebrate.
By the way, the above are all official statements. Based on Gongsun Yan’s understanding of his teacher, he will definitely not move because of such a thing.
Under Gongsun Yan's constant questioning, Qianli finally told the truth. It turned out that King Genji was planning to retire, so Qianli was called over to prepare for the corresponding handover.
After hearing the real reason, Gongsun Yan sneered twice. He saw through it. Although he had a premonition, he actually guessed it right in the end.
Then Gongsun Yan was beaten up by the angry Qianli. It shows that knowing too much is not a good thing. Gongsun Yan was bitten back.
"Xiaozhi, I won't lose to you next time."
"Gongsun Yan, I won't lose to you next time."
As a result, right after the first glass of milk was drunk, the opponents that Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi had met before came up one after another to clink glasses with them, and kept repeating the same words, which made the two of them numb from answering.
After the two of them had finally dealt with this group of opponents, even though they hadn't eaten a single bite of food, they drank until they were half full. They felt a little unable to eat the delicacies in front of them.
"By the way, Xiaozhi, you should have gotten a chance to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings. Who do you plan to challenge?" Since he couldn't eat for the time being, Gongsun Yan simply started chatting with Xiaozhi.
"I don't plan to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings yet." Xiaozhi's answer made Gongsun Yan a little unbelievable. Is this still the Xiaozhi who was so reckless?
Not only Gongsun Yan, but also the people who were chatting nearby showed surprised expressions after hearing Xiaozhi's words. After seeing this, Xiaozhi sighed and explained to everyone.
