Eminem originally wanted to go directly to visit Dr. Zhenghui’s parents.
However, under Tomoyo's suggestion, we went to buy gifts together first - it was just the New Year, and we were going to meet the elders of our friends...
So Eminem, Tomoyo, and Sakura had lunch together first, and then bought some things at Daidaiji shopping mall.
Afterwards, Tomoyo and Sakura did not go with Eminem. After all, Eminem and Masaki's parents had never met before. It was their first time to visit, so it was hard to bring their friends with them.
As for the address, Eminem asked Zhenghui directly for it.
Zhenghui was also puzzled as to why Eminem was so enthusiastic and went out of his way to visit his parents after learning that he had not returned home during the Chinese New Year?
However, at Eminem's insistence, Zhenghui couldn't refuse and had no choice but to express his gratitude...
Eminem took the gift and went to the address Zhenghui had given him before.
Zhenghui's home is located in the western suburbs of Manjin City. The west side of Manjin City faces the sea and faces Zhanlan City on the island across the sea. There is a large port in the southwest and a fishing port in the west.
Zhenghui's family is a fisherman, and like all fishermen, in addition to the necessary fishing boats, there are also aquatic Pokémon to cooperate with fishing.
Moreover, Zhenghui's father's Pokémon is also a "King of Roaring Whales" - the fishing efficiency is super high. Every time he goes to sea, he only needs to "hold" a large mouthful of fish and then spit it into the harvest cabin of the fishing boat...
…I caught a lot of fish after just a few times.
The reason why I moved when I was a child was because Zhenghui's father's "Howling Whale" evolved into the "Howling Whale King", so I moved to an environment more suitable for the "Howling Whale King".
There is no breeding house that can store this kind of Pokémon for a long time, and even if there is... it must be sky-high!
Usually, they are kept in the sea, otherwise they cannot meet the feeding needs.
Because the sea area over Hualan was not very suitable to the taste of the "Roaring Whale King", so they moved to Manjin City, which the "Roaring Whale King" liked.
Eminem rode the "Motorcycle Lizard" and quickly arrived at the fishing port, and then quickly found Zhenghui's house.
Only fishing boats come and go from this fishing port, the land is sparsely populated, housing prices are cheap, and the fishermen all live in single-family homes. Zhenghui's house has a big flag that looks like "The Roaring Whale King" hanging at the door, making it easy to recognize.
When he came to the door, Eminem also saw a girl in overalls whose facial features were somewhat similar to Zhenghui's, training a Yinbu...
"Excuse me...is this Zhenghui's family?" Eminem asked proactively.
"Huh? You..." The girl in overalls came forward, looked at Eminem carefully, and then said: "Is it Eminem? It's a little different from TV! Please come in!"
As she spoke, she picked up Yin Bu who had just been training and went to open the door.
Of course Zhenghui told his family that Eminem was coming to visit today.
"You are... Zhenghui's sister, right?" Eminem didn't want to expose the fact that she and Zhenghui were not that close, so he made a guess based on her appearance.
"Well! I am Qin Yin. What does my brother usually say about me?" Qin Yin asked cheerfully.
Indeed, listening to what Eminem means, those who don’t know must think that Eminem and Zhenghui are very good friends, and Zhenghui has often mentioned his sister.
"It sounds like I care about you very much!" Eminem said calmly.
"Eh? I can't see it..."
"He is so shy!"
"Right……"
…
After entering the house, Qinyin took the initiative to shout: "Dad, Mom, Eminem is here."
"Please come inside, please come inside..."
"Yeah! Just come, what else can you get?"
"Hahaha, you are in for a treat today. I specially left some butter fish and butter crab..."
Zhenghui only has his parents and sister at home, and his grandfather and sister live in Qianhong City in the Kanto area...
Knowing that "Zhenghui's friend" was coming to visit, Zhenghui's parents were also very enthusiastic. Even if Ammu deliberately missed the meal, they still insisted on letting him have dinner.
Eminem tested it first, and Zhenghui did not say anything like "Eminem and I are not familiar with each other" or "We are just ordinary friends" to his parents...
This is also inevitable, not to mention that it is difficult to express it in terms of human nature, and... Zhenghui is also an old otaku, and he probably has no experience with this kind of "good intentions".
Then Eminem used words to guide Zhenghui's parents and changed the topic to the complaint that "the child is too busy" and "doesn't even come back to see him". Following the trend... Eminem said again that there are often people in Stan Industry.
Sudden death!
Sure enough, Zhenghui's parents also became worried after hearing this.
Eminem went on to say that as a friend, he had tried to persuade him, but there was nothing he could do...
"This kid Zhenghui... has been like this since he was a child! In order to engage in research, I wanted to take him to the sea to play when he was a child, but he refused to go and hid in bed to study every day!"
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect Hezhong to be so busy. I should have known... eh."
When Zhenghui's parents heard what Eminem said, they complained even more about Zhenghui - if Zhenghui knew what Eminem was saying, he would definitely tell his parents that those who came today were enemies!
Moreover, Eminem could tell that Zhenghui's parents probably didn't know much about the incident involving Team Flare's hijacking, otherwise they would have been worried.
Then, before Eminem could tell him what to do, Zhenghui's clever sister Qinyin took the initiative and said: "Yes! Dad, just say that you have a back problem again, and make it more serious!"
"Eh? That's not good...your brother is also pursuing his own ideals..." Zhenghui's father looked very honest.
"And your brother is so smart!" Zhenghui's mother complained quite a bit about Zhenghui not coming home.
"That's right! That can be really sick!" Qinyin sounded like a filial daughter.
Zhenghui’s parents:……
"I mean... it can be true that there are symptoms, that's not right... In short, isn't Eminem a pharmacist? There should be a way, right?" Qinyin looked at Eminem expectantly.
"Huh? But... potions are still more effective on Pokémon, and... pretending to be sick is a bit..." Eminem looked like he had a headache.
"That's right, Qinyin, don't be willful!" Zhenghui's father saw his mother in trouble and immediately scolded his daughter.
"But aren't you afraid of my brother's sudden death?"
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year..." Zhenghui's mother quickly spat.
"Okay! Then I'll think of a way, but please don't tell anyone that it's my potion..." Eminem looked very embarrassed.
Seeing that Eminem did such an unprincipled thing for Zhenghui, Zhenghui's family was very moved, and they decided to let him have dinner...
Zhenghui’s father did not lie, butter fish and butter crab are indeed a perfect match.
Before Eminem left Zhenghui's house, he became friends with Qinyin - after the malingering medicine is ready, it will be delivered directly to Qinyin.
"If your brother is coming back, tell me in advance." Eminem emphasized.
"Don't worry! Brother Mu." Qinyin also called brother.
Just this title... Eminem always feels like she is calling Muke Ying!
Before leaving Zhenghui's house, Eminem teamed up with Qinyin and discussed sending a message to Zhenghui. Firstly, he told him as usual that his parents were thinking about him and asked him to pay attention to his health. Secondly, he reminded Zhenghui that he always
Dad doesn't look good. It's best to urge him to go for a physical examination...
Of course, Zhenghui was very grateful to Eminem, and sure enough, he sent a message to Qinyin not long after, asking her to take her father for a physical examination, but... as expected, she still had no intention of coming back!
However, Eminem and Qinyin have already prepared a plan to lure him back to rest.
Just as Eminem was riding a horse back to the Pokémon Center, Noah suddenly heard a voice...
"Signal! The bug is sending out a signal, I'll get there first! Quickly connect to the illustrated book!"
