Huang Yuntian kicked open the first-floor doors of the laboratory building and looked inside. Ye Lan was sitting on the sofa, clutching his butt with his left hand while continuously rubbing the Cottonee in his arms with his right.
Across from Ye Lan, Su Muqing was applying iodine to his forehead.
"Ow, easy! Easy!"
"Cottonee!"
The sudden pain made Ye Lan tighten his grip, and Cottonee cried out along with him.
Cottonee felt terribly wronged. Why did its Trainer have to drag it into his suffering when he was the one in pain?
If Ye Lan had not kept pawing at it, it would have wanted to bite him to vent its frustration.
This entire situation was simply the result of Ye Lan's own bad luck.
After Ye Lan fell, Su Muqing had only symbolically kicked him once and had not actually hurt him.
Instead, when Ye Lan got up, he hit his forehead against the sharp corner of the lab bench, leading to this scene.
"Are you really not considering staying in the laboratory building?" Su Muqing asked as she applied the iodine.
She was extremely curious about Ye Lan's abilities. If he stayed in the laboratory building and wore specialized equipment, she could monitor the changes in the Grass-type energy on his body twenty-four hours a day.
"Of course not!" Huang Yuntian's voice came from the doorway, and both of them looked over.
"See? I told you the Gym Leader wouldn't agree." Ye Lan looked helplessly at the disheveled girl before him.
Su Muqing had only research on her mind and had not considered whether it was appropriate for an unmarried man and woman to live together.
"Senior Brother! He's very important to my research. Don't worry, just let your Venusaur stay with me."
"Important to your research?"
