Chapter 428 If I win, you have to go on a date with me! No problem, I absolutely won't lose!
Li Luochen gave an affirmative answer to Riko's question.
It's simple to restore Talebagos to its original state.
That is to use the Cleansing Stone Slab to absorb the essence within the stone slab, thereby restoring the essence of Talebagos and achieving the effect of awakening.
Li Luochen said this to Li Ke.
When Rico heard that a stone slab was to be used, her eyes widened instantly.
Although she was young, she had been immersed in the world of Quartz Academy for so long that she had heard of the significance of the slate.
Those are the eighteen life-giving stones of Arceus, legendary treasures that even champion-level trainers rarely see...
Now, this Brother Luo Chen, whom I've just met, is casually saying that he'll take it out for her to use?
"This...this is way too valuable!!"
Lico's voice changed, and she unconsciously covered the pendant on her chest with both hands, as if she was afraid that Li Luochen would change his mind, or as if she felt that she was not worthy of such a great gift.
She waved her hands repeatedly, her expression changing from shock to fear, and then from fear to a dazed feeling of "Am I dreaming?"
Xiao An stood to the side, watching Li Ke's helpless expression, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She put her arm around Rico's shoulder and whispered something in her ear, making Rico blush even more.
After hearing what Xiao An said, Li Ke stared at Li Luo Chen's face, her gaze fixed on him, unable to look away, yet not daring to linger.
Her face grew increasingly rosy, the color spreading from her cheeks to her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a thin layer of pink.
Li Luochen couldn't help but wonder what Xiao An had said that made Li Ke blush so much.
He glanced at Xiao An.
Xiao An was smiling with her lips pursed.
He then looked at Rico.
At this moment, Riko seemed to be blushing.
"Alright~ Let's go shopping first~"
Xiao An walked to Li Luochen's other side, took his hand in a generous manner, and walked into the campus.
Her palms were warm, and her fingertips were slightly firm, as if she was afraid he would run away.
"Brother Luo Chen, do you remember what we're going to do today?" Xiao An looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"I remember." Li Luochen nodded slightly.
He had made a promise with Xiao An and Li Ke that he would teach them how to fight.
This was arranged before they came to Kanto. The two girls pestered him for a long time in the video, saying things like, "Brother Luo Chen, you are a gym leader, it would be a pity if you didn't teach us."
He was so pestered that he had no choice but to agree.
To be honest, he was also quite looking forward to it—it had been a long time since he had taught new people.
On the way to the battle arena, Xiao An kept trying to find topics to chat with Li Luochen.
She asked what good food there was in the Donghuang region, what Regigigas usually ate, and what Li Luochen liked to cook.
The questions came one after another, like a machine gun. Before Li Luochen could answer one, the next one was already on its way.
The two chatted and laughed, having a great time.
Lico, on the other hand, wanted to talk to Li Luochen, but didn't know what to talk about.
She walked behind Li Luochen, about a person's distance away, her pace neither hurried nor slow, as if she was deliberately maintaining a certain distance.
Occasionally, Xiao An's laughter would drift over, and she would smile slightly, but the smile would vanish as soon as it reached her eyes.
To be honest, Rico was quite envious of Annie's cheerfulness.
She's spent so much time at school, and so far she's only really familiar with Xiao An.
It's not that she doesn't want to make friends, it's that she doesn't know how to start a conversation—every time she tries to talk to someone, countless "what ifs" pop into her head.
What if they don't want to talk to her? What if she says something inappropriate? What if...?
Lost in thought, I missed the chance to speak.
At this moment, Rico secretly glanced at Li Luochen's profile again.
He was answering Xiao An's question about Regigigas, a faint smile on his lips, his tone gentle and patient.
Xiao An is so proactive!
Rico sighed inwardly again.
If it were me, I wouldn't dare to directly take Li Luochen's hand!
Rico's gaze fell on the hand that Xiao An was holding Li Luochen's hand, then quickly moved away.
Her fingers curled up unconsciously, as if hesitating whether to reach out as well, but in the end she obediently gripped the hem of her skirt.
Xiao An, who was walking in front of her, suddenly turned around and winked at her.
Rico paused for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, pretending to look at the flower bed by the roadside.
Doesn't she know what Xiao An means?
That was her way of asking me to hold Li Luochen's other hand!
Rico knows her too well.
That look, that blinking curve, was clearly an implication of "Why don't you go for it!"
But that's so strange!
Two girls holding hands with one boy...
What is this going to do?
Just thinking about it made Rico's face burn and her heart race.
She is rather conservative.
Of course, not in the conservative way that Xiao An is.
Li had previously told Xiao An that she was a rather conservative girl.
It was one night when the two of them were lying on their dorm beds with the lights off, leaving only a small nightlight on. As they talked, they started discussing their views on relationships.
Lico said she considers herself quite conservative and might not be able to accept overly open relationships.
Xiao An said that being conservative is good, as she is also conservative.
Rico breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had finally met someone who shared her ideals.
Then the two of them paired up.
Hey!
Xiao An's conservative statement means he agrees to have multiple female leads.
Rico was shocked and sat up straight in bed, staring at Xiao An's self-righteous face under the night light.
What kind of conservatism is this?
She couldn't help but complain out loud, but Xiao An laughed so hard she rolled around on the bed, saying she didn't understand!
Every time Riko thinks about this, she feels like her worldview has been completely refreshed.
Now, watching Xiao An's winking gesture, she suddenly felt like her worldview had been refreshed.
"Hey~ Brother Luo Chen, if I win the battle later, could you grant me a small request?"
Xiao An suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Luochen.
"Oh? What are the requirements?" Li Luochen asked casually, his tone relaxed, clearly not taking it seriously.
"This...is..."
Xiao An suddenly became hesitant, as if something had tripped her up and stuck in her throat.
She lowered her eyes, then raised her head again, as if she had mustered up her courage—
"If I win, will you go on a date with me?"
She took the initiative, her voice a little softer than usual, but every word was clear.
"I've always admired Brother Luo Chen, and I would be so happy if you would agree to a date with me! Of course, if Brother Luo Chen is unavailable, please excuse my abruptness!"
As he spoke, his pace quickened, as if afraid he might change his mind, and he poured out all his words in one breath.
After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, her chest heaving, her fingers still trembling slightly, but the corners of her mouth had already curved up—not a deliberate smile, but a smile of relief after speaking her mind.
Rico stood to the side, completely frozen.
She stared at Xiao An with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open, unable to close for a long time.
Only one thought kept flashing through my mind—she said it, she really said it, she actually said it!
"No problem, but I definitely won't lose!"
