Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 119 Shi Ran

Rongyue never interacts with people who seem mysterious. These people may have charisma but are generally dangerous.

If it weren't for Shi Qiu, she would just stay away.

When Lu Qing heard Rong Yue's words, he thought of Thurman from a long time ago.

She was a very attractive girl. Although she lost to Shi Qiu in the glamour contest, she was quite popular on the Internet because of her mysterious and classical temperament.

Thurman did not appear in any subsequent grand competitions.

Thinking of the previous precedent, he immediately backed down: "I'm just talking about it."

"It's strange, when I first met N, I was a little scared, but today, not only does he seem approachable, but I'm actually a little scared of him."

Lu Qing wondered: "Are they playing some kind of game of pretending to be each other?"

Hearing this, Rongyue seemed to have grasped something for a moment, but then it slipped away quickly.

"Welcome to the Tianxia City Gorgeous Competition!"

"I'm everyone's host, Villian!"

On the stage, the youthful host was greeting everyone with great energy.

[Shi Qiu] was holding Zoroark, with Vulpix on his shoulder and a Bubble Squirrel on his head. He and Aledon (whose shining appearance was hidden by Zoroark) were sitting next to each other in the audience.

“It feels a bit strange.”

This is the first time I joined this gorgeous competition purely as a spectator, rather than as a contestant.

"What's wrong with you? Behave yourself." Feeling the slight commotion of the elves, Shi Qiu said in a low voice.

"(Ah... nothing, I just don't feel comfortable.)" Bubble Chinchilla glanced at the green hair in his little paws.

"(In short, even though I know this is your soul, there is still a weird ntr feeling.)" Ice Vulpix added with a sneer.

Help, he really can't adapt.

Just now, I subconsciously wanted to rub Shi Qiu's cheek, but I saw a strange handsome face in my peripheral vision, and the whole fox froze, okay?

After I realized what was happening, I didn't know whether to rub it or not. The soles of my feet felt like ants were crawling on them and they were burning my hands and feet.

Shi Qiu was silenced by Vulpix's words:...

"Put aside those weird dramas of yours and practice your Absolute Zero more carefully."

[Shi Qiu] whispered: "I remember that only the little gray mouse likes to watch dramas. Don't follow his example and do bad things."

Ice Vulpix curled his lips.

......

"Ah, hello."

Suddenly, a small girl's voice came from the side, "Excuse me, can you please move aside? I'd like to sit next to you."

[Shi Qiu] Looking over, I saw a very shy-looking sister, who was just entering college.

He stood up to make way, and said briefly, "Okay, please be careful."

The girl's face seemed to get even redder.

"Thank you." She quickly passed by the young man and sat down. "My name is Xia Rong, nice to meet you."

[Shi Qiu]: Why did you suddenly start introducing each other? Are you so awesome?

What should I do next to maintain N's personality?

The young man nodded and said gently: "My name is... Shi Ran."

(Anyway, N’s full name contains Na Qiuran, so I’ll just pick a random character. I’ve always been good at coming up with pseudonyms, Cun He thought.)

Xia Rong's face turned even redder when she looked at N's pretty and fair face and heard his gentle voice.

She mustered up her courage, prepared herself mentally, and continued to chat with the young man: "I heard that many famous coordinators are participating in this gorgeous competition. Which one do you support, Mr. Shi Ran?"

Super star Shi Qiu, fire magician Ye Lin, Papilio Yuwu Chen Liu, singing queen and coordinator Liu Sisi...are all the favorites to win this gorgeous competition.

Forced to socialize, Shi Qiu put on a mask of pain in his heart: Of course I support myself. I won’t pretend anymore, I’m the best, okay?

"...I am very optimistic about Shi Qiu...player."

As the young man answered, two more acquaintances came over.

It’s Lu Qing and Rong Yue.

It looked like they were sitting nearby.

"Ah, this isn't N Xiao..."

Lu Qing came forward to greet him in a loud and familiar voice, obviously having thrown the previous advice to the winds.

[Shi Qiu] interrupted him: "Hello, I'm Shi Ran."

Those beautiful eyes were gentle yet full of oppression.

Lu Qing was speechless, then nodded awkwardly after a while.

"Next is contestant number 4, our Mr. Shi Qiu, who reached the peak right after his debut, bringing us a gorgeous performance!"

"Please welcome with applause."

Villian introduced loudly and stepped back from the stage.

When the young man came to the stage, everyone who knew him was a little stunned.

"This kid, isn't he dressed a little casually today?" Considine whispered.

"Shi Qiu" was wearing a simple tight sportswear, and one could even see slight mud stains on his sneakers.

The coordinators of the fancy show will basically wear formal attire, which is a basic etiquette.

Moreover, the boy’s outfits before were all of a style that was eye-catching.

"Maybe it is related to the next performance?" Mr. Suzuki Sa, another judge from the gorgeous competition organizer, said hesitantly.

After all, Shi Qiu's costumes in each show will closely match the theme of their performance.

......

[Shi Qiu] said expressionlessly in the audience: No, he forgot to tell N about the dress.

There's nothing we can do about it. N and the gorgeous competition sound like a crazy combination.
