Chapter 697 Loneliness
"Then why didn't you give me the fruit just now?"
Kong looked at Jiang Li. He was grimacing in pain from what he had just done.
"The healing speed of the tree fruit is not enough to make your finger heal instantly. It will still hurt."
Jiang Li rolled his eyes at Kong. He really thought the fruit was a panacea. What a joke! He thought that eating just one would make him feel better immediately.
"By the way, if we don't go back now, dinner will get cold. If you're hungry, go back and eat."
Kong began to change the subject. He originally came here to call Klee and Nashida back for dinner, but now they have wasted a lot of time here.
"I'm using elemental power to keep it warm so it's fine. And you're trying to change the subject."
“… ... ... ...”
Seeing Kong escaping, Jiang Li was satisfied and began to call Nashida and Keli to go back for dinner. Nashida took Keli, who was still not satisfied, back to the camp and took Keli to wash her hands by the pond.
"You know what, it's really easy to have Nashida taking care of little Klee."
Alice looked at Kelly who followed Nashida obediently. Although she felt that her daughter was snatched away, but when she thought about it carefully, her daughter was hers and she recognized her as her mother. There were people to help take care of her, and Jiang Li and Buyer's values were also acceptable.
It’s so easy!
"What the hell is this guy thinking about?"
Jiang Li looked at Alice who was staring at Klee and Nashida in a daze and couldn't help but complain to Buyer.
"Just do your thing. Maybe you're just thinking about something."
Buyer said helplessly, because of Alice's previous incident, Jiang Li was always worried that Alice would cause trouble, but it was a bit excessive. However, it can only be said that it is worthy of Alice to actually think about such a thing.
There was a faint green light in Buyer's eyes, and it looked like he was using some kind of ability. The next second, Alice seemed to sense something and looked towards Buyer, then put her finger to her mouth and made a shushing gesture.
[My sister-in-law’s eyes are shining.]
[Wow, I remember Siyu also glowed when she used her power before.]
[So my sister-in-law can also read minds?]
[After all, she is my biological daughter. I guess she inherited it from my sister-in-law.]
[Honestly, these eyes are so pretty!!!]
[It really feels divine, but what on earth is Aunt Alice thinking?]
[I am also very curious, sister-in-law, please tell me.]
[Don't think about it, Aunt Alice is making a shush gesture.]
After dinner, Nashida stopped Klee who wanted to go play with the mimosa pudica. After all, it was already dark and the elves went to bed much earlier than them.
"Look, the mimosa buds are already asleep, we can't disturb them."
Nashida pointed at the mimosa trees in the distance. They all had their eyes closed and were sleeping soundly together. After all, they were grass-attributed elves and their daily routines were strongly related to the sun.
"Found it, let's play with Klee and Eevee."
buyi~
After all, they have been through several months of special training, and one day of rest is definitely not enough. Ying and Kong actually just need a short recharge to restore their spirits, so they both went into the tent to rest early today.
Because some people had gone to sleep, they couldn't be too loud. Nashida and Buyer were reading, and their mother seemed to be busy with something else. Klee felt a little bored, so she had to hold Ibrahimovic and sit next to Jiang Li to watch him fishing.
"What's wrong? Are you bored?"
Jiang Li used his free hand to touch Keli's head. This little girl would only sit next to him and watch him fishing when she was extremely bored.
"Well, everyone is so busy that we don't have time to play with Klee."
Keli sat next to Jiang Li, her eyes fixed on the buoy that rose and fell with the waves. Her little head swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the buoy, and her golden twin ponytails swayed gently along with it.
The light shone on her face, revealing her round and lovely cheeks and a pair of big eyes. However, when she turned her face slightly, one could see a hint of loneliness that was hard to detect. It was an expression that was inconsistent with her usual expression, and one could not help but feel pity for her.
"Is that so? Then why don't you just sit here and keep Uncle Jiang company?"
"Good~"
After Alice finished her work, she turned around to look for her daughter and saw Keli sitting obediently next to Jiang Li. This was the first time she saw her daughter so quiet. Keli's expression just now made her heart ache.
"Is this the first time you see Klee like this?"
Buyer asked softly as he looked at Alice in a daze.
"Well, although I know that Klee is alone most of the time, this is the first time that the child has shown such an expression."
Alice nodded. She had always known that Klee had a lot of love, but she was also lonely. The Knights were very busy, and Jean and the others didn't have much time to accompany Klee. Jiang Li and Nashida only came to play with Klee for a short time from time to time.
Most of the time, it is Klee and Dudu who stay together.
Fortunately, we still have Victini and Eevee to accompany Klee. It’s a good thing to have them as Pokémons.
But we should also thank Jiang Li. Knowing that Klee was lonely, he would take Nashida to play with Klee, and also took Klee to Xumi to play. That was probably the happiest time for Klee.
[The first time I saw Xiao Keli’s expression like this, I remembered that Xiao Keli is also a left-behind child.]
[Left-behind children are really pitiful. It’s better for children like Keli who are loved by others. Some parents will dislike their children when they come back and see that their children are slovenly or don’t listen to them.]
[Yeah, I used to think it was because I was a girl, but when I saw them taking my sister and raising her to be fair and tender, I knew they just didn’t like me.]
[Touch the upstairs, this is not your problem, this is their problem. Some people are not fit to be parents.]
[Aunt Alice is also very busy, and she said that it is something that no one else can replace.]
"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jiang, there's a fish on the hook!!"
Keli excitedly pulled at the corner of Jiang Li's clothes, but suddenly remembered that Ying and Kong were already asleep, so she quickly lowered her voice.
"Okay, look at me."
Jiang Li nodded and began to reel in the line to pull the elf up. When he saw the red color on the pond, Jiang Li understood.
"It's Magikarp!"
Klee looked at the Pokémon that Jiang Li pulled up excitedly. She was very excited even though it was just the most common Magikarp.
After untying the fishhook, Magikarp was about to shake Jiang Li and the others with its tail and leave in a drenching manner, but the next second it felt a terrifying aura coming from Jiang Li who was standing behind Klee. Seeing this, Magikarp "voluntarily" agreed to play with Klee.
Yes, it is completely voluntary.
Seeing how happily Klee and Magikarp were having fun, Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction and continued casting the rod.
Until the end, the number of Magikarp playing with Klee increased from one to two or three...
