Chapter 117 What I Did Behind My Back
Chapter 117 What I Did Behind My Back
Lu An was idly scrolling through short videos in his dorm room.
On his phone was a video of a celebrity wearing a red robe singing a congratulatory song. Beside the celebrity was a red, fiery fox, bowing and celebrating just like the celebrity.
"Tsk, it's not even the New Year yet, and this person has already appeared on short videos."
Lu Anhua turned over in the next video, and casually scratched his tight pants.
Under Lu An's bed, Gang Jie, who was discussing in a fishing enthusiasts' group which fishing rod was better for catching fish, suddenly saw someone post a video in the group.
Have you guys seen this video?
"Oh, I know, that happened a couple of days ago at our school lake."
"This mosquito coil swimmer and the giant swamp monster are really fighting fiercely."
“Abundantly good.”
"I heard that the school is actively searching for the Swampert that used Earthquake, as well as its trainer, and is preparing to make them compensate for the damage caused by the collapse of the school grounds."
Gangjie was a little puzzled.
What are they talking about?
Upon clicking into the video, although the image quality was somewhat blurry, it was still recognizable that it showed a Poliwag Swimmer battling a Swampert.
Beside the Poliwag Swimmer, there was another trainer directing the battle.
At the end of the video, the Swampert stomped hard on the ground, causing it to crack and the video to become distorted, losing sight of the Swampert and its companions.
The casual chatting continued in the fishing group.
"I wish I could fish out a Swampert from the lake someday, or even a Mudkip would do."
"You? A seasoned sky hunter who's been out of the water for 365 days a year, even a Magikarp won't take your bait, and you think you can catch a Mudkip?"
"What are you talking about? I bought the Cerulean Gym Leader's special bait the day before yesterday. I'm going fishing tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll catch a big one. You'll be so envious."
"Come on, with your unlucky streak, no amount of bait can save the air force."
"A fisherman never goes home empty-handed!"
"A fisherman never goes home empty-handed!"
"Fishing enthusiasts, always empty-handed!"
The conversations in the fishing group always eventually turned to fishing-related topics, so soon no one paid attention to the battle between the Poliwag Swimmer and the Swampert.
As is customary, Gangjie would have already joined the ranks of those who "never go home empty-handed" by now, but today he was still pondering the videos in this fishing group.
"Why does this Swampert look so familiar?"
Despite the blurry image quality, the more Gonno looked at the giant swamp monster, the more familiar it seemed.
He suddenly remembered that there was a trainer on the upper bunk who owned a Swampert. Could this be Lu An's Swampert?
So Gangjie climbed onto Lu An's bed and immediately pinned him down:
"Oh, that feels great!"
Lu An almost instinctively kicked the guy who had suddenly attacked him off the bed.
Just then, Gangjie held his phone out in front of Lu An:
"Anzai, take a look at this video."
What video?
Lu An took a closer look. Although the video quality had been compressed due to its widespread dissemination from person to person, Lu An still recognized the Swampert from the figure and posture of the main character at a glance.
When did Swampert start fighting with Poliwag?
Why didn't he know?
Why didn't Swampert tell me about this?
Moreover, from the corner of the video, Lu An could clearly see a forked tail that was swaying—that was Espeon's tail.
Although AlphaGo wasn't in the frame, it was clearly present at the time.
Did those two little bastards sneak out and fight?
In his moment of surprise, Lu An was completely unaware that Gang Jie was lying on top of him in a very indecent position, his eyes full of enjoyment.
"Is this your Swampert? I remember Swamperts are quite rare in the Kanto region, right?"
If only Swampert was fighting, and it didn't tell him why, Lu An might suspect there was more to the story.
But when Lu An saw the tail that was wagging incessantly at the corner of the video, looking incredibly happy, he knew that Espeon had instructed Swampert to cover up the matter.
SunIbrahimovic kept this a secret, clearly because it wasn't a good thing.
Therefore, Lu An completely ignored Gang Jie's words and instead asked, feigning indifference:
"Why are this Poliwag Swimmer and Swampert fighting?"
Gangjie arched his head and found a more comfortable position to lie down:
"I don't know. A fellow angler posted a video in the group that looks a lot like your Swampert, so I'm asking if it's your Swampert."
Lu An quietly exited the video and briefly glanced at the messages sent by the fishing group that Gangjie had just mentioned.
When he saw the message that "the school is preparing to make them compensate for the losses," he had a bad feeling.
"What do you mean, Lu An? Is this your Swampert?"
Faced with Gangjie's question, Lu Anxin thought to himself and coughed lightly twice:
"Ahem, this video is so blurry, who could tell? But my Swampert is with me every day, so it shouldn't be my Swampert, right?"
Gangjie, lying on Lu An's body, had his eyes closed.
I guessed so.
Lu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gang Jie did not investigate further.
"By the way, are you guys going to eat? Shall we go down for lunch?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat? Imai, what do you want to eat?"
"casual."
"I want to eat potato rice."
"casual."
Seeing that the topic was gradually shifting to food, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief and forwarded the video to his phone.
He decided to ask Swampert and Espeon for clarification later.
Only after he had figured this out did Lu An realize that there was someone else on top of him.
So he kicked Gangjie off him:
"Don't lie on me, it's too heavy."
Gangjie suddenly hugged Lu An's neck, sobbing:
"What a jerk! He slept with her and then turned his back on her. All the happy times we had were for nothing!"
Lu An's temples throbbed violently.
"Nantong, get out!"
......
After some typical playful banter in the boys' dormitory, Lu An and his roommates finished their meal at the school cafeteria. Lu An then greeted the three men who had just arrived:
"I'm going to the restroom, wait for me a bit."
The toilets in the school cafeteria on the second floor were rarely visited and were usually kept quite clean. Lu An released Espeon and Swampert directly from their Poké Balls.
Lu An, with a serious expression, placed the lakeside video that Gang Jie had forwarded in front of Espeon and Swampert:
"You two, tell me honestly, what's the deal with this video? When did you two go out and fight behind my back?"
Ibrahimovic never expected that the truth he had been trying so hard to hide would be so easily exposed by a video.
Its limbs gave way, and it collapsed into the toilet.
"Bu-i, bu-i-bu-i".
(つд?)
It's too late for words now. It's all my fault. Punish me if you want, I'm willing to accept it.
"Bu-i, bu-i-bu-bu-i".
I only ask that you not be too harsh on the Swamp Monster for recklessly using earthquakes to shatter the school grounds, causing many people to lose their footing, and for its reckless act of taking me, filled with remorse, away from the scene.
(ノД`)?゜?.
