Ash scratched his head and added, "Misty and they don't know how to do these things. Usually Brock or Cilan are responsible, so Serena is very different."
Serena looked at him and suddenly felt warm.
She knew that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
"Ash..." Serena said softly.
"Well, what's wrong?" Ash raised his head, with some chocolate sauce still on the corner of his mouth.
Serena reached out and gently wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue:
"Nothing, I just wanted to say... thank you."
Thank you for remembering.
Ash grinned with a bright smile, "I should say thank you. Serena You have always taken care of me, reminded me, let me rest, you are like..."
Ash thought for a while and found a word: "Just like mother!"
"Ah?"
Serena The spoon in his hand fell onto the plate with a clang.
Mom... Mom?
Is it intentional or accidental, or is this a new metaphor?
Pikachu covered his face with his two little paws and couldn't bear to look at it.
Idiot! How can you say that a girl looks like her mother? That's too hardcore.
Look, this is Pikachu being ignorant. If Xiaoyun were here, he would definitely say that.
Why can't I be like my mother? The bride is also a mother!
Needless to say, this matter has already been done.
Ash was completely unaware of what he said and continued to eat hard. Three minutes later, he finished the entire parfait and patted his belly with satisfaction:
"It's delicious! Serena Don't you want to eat it?"
Serena Seeing that he had only eaten a quarter of the strawberry parfait, he had lost his appetite.
"Well, I'm full."
She smiled, but her smile was a little stiff.
"Then let's go to the hot spring! It's just in time to digest! I heard that soaking in the hot spring is good for restoring physical strength and is suitable for relaxing after training!"
Ash stood up, full of energy.
Serena looked at his excited look and sighed inwardly.
Forget it, that's it.
This is Ash, she has known it for a long time.
The two came to Snow-Viewing Hot Spring Inn.
When the old lady at the front desk saw them, she still smiled and asked, "Are you two a couple? We have a private bath for couples~ It's quiet, the scenery is good, and you won't be disturbed~"
Serena blushed and was about to explain, but Ash had already answered:
"No, we are traveling companions."
The old lady said "oh" and looked at Ash, then at Serena, with meaningful eyes:
"What about a public bath? There are separate baths for men and women."
"Okay, that's it!"
Ash nodded, not taking the hint from the old lady at all.
Serena She looked at Ash's excited expression and silently swallowed back the words that it was okay to have sex privately.
Forget it, public baths are just public baths, at least... you can soak in hot springs.
The two went to change clothes separately. Serena specially brought the swimsuit bought at Laverre City. It was a light pink one-piece with a bow decoration on the waist and a skirt design that was both cute and a little sexy.
She put on her swimsuit and looked in the mirror, her face turning slightly red.
She had been choosing this swimsuit for a long time, and the clerk said it was suitable for a date, but now...
My date was in the men's bath next door, thinking about how to increase my stamina.
She put on her bathrobe and walked into the women's bath. The women's bath was semi-open-air, with several pools of different sizes and a sauna.
Because it was evening, there were not many people, only a few aunties were enjoying the bath.
Serena Rinse clean and walk into the hot spring pool.
The warm water enveloped her whole body, and she sighed comfortably, leaning against the edge of the pool, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the direction of the men's bath.
There is a bamboo fence in the middle, but the sound can be heard.
The voice of Ash came from the men's bathhouse:
"Pikachu! Come and try this cold pool! I heard it can exercise your willpower!"
"Pickup!!!"
Listening to the sound, Pikachu was obviously thrown into the cold pool by Sheer Force.
Serena couldn't help but laugh.
She could imagine the scene, with Ash looking serious, and Pikachu beside her, hopeless.
After soaking for about twenty minutes, Serena felt a little dizzy, so he got up and went to the shower room to take a shower.
Just then, she heard Ash shouting from next door, "Serena! Are you there?"
"Here!"
Serena responded subconsciously.
"Can I come over? The sauna here seems to be broken!" Ash's voice came through the bamboo fence.
"Eh? But this is a women's bath..."
Serena Before he finished speaking, Ash had already come around. He was wrapped in a bath towel and his hair was wet. Pikachu followed him at his feet with a look of resentment on his face.
"Sorry, sorry! The one over there is really broken. The staff said the sauna here is universal..."
Ash walked in unconsciously.
Several aunties in the hot springs looked at Ash. They were stunned for a moment, and then showed a kind smile that said "We all understand".
Serena's pretty face turned red, and she shrank into the water with only her head exposed:
"Xiao, Ash! Isn't this bad?"
"Why? We are all in the hot springs, and I am wrapped in a bath towel, and Pikachu is also there."
Ash looked like it was natural.
Pikachu has slipped into the hot spring pool, staying far away from Ash, saying with his eyes that I don't know him.
Ash walked to the door of the sauna room, opened the door and took a look. "Oh, this can be used! Serena Do you want to come together? The sauna is very comfortable."
"No, no need!"
Serena buried his face even lower.
"Okay." Ash walked into the sauna room, but Pikachu was determined not to follow.
After the sauna door closed, the women's bath was quiet for a few seconds.
An aunt said with a smile, "Little girl, your boyfriend is quite handsome, but he is a little confused."
"He doesn't, he doesn't..."
Serena wanted to explain, but his face turned redder and his explanation seemed feeble.
Another aunt smiled and said, "It's great to be young~ When we were young, my husband was also so direct. He would have to squeeze into a pool with me when we were in hot springs..."
The aunts began to share their love stories when they were young. Serena listened, her cheeks felt hot, but she couldn't help but continue listening.
She looked at Pikachu, and Pikachu looked at her, and they exchanged looks.
"Thank you for your hard work."×2
After a while, Ash came out of the sauna, all red and steaming.
He walked to the edge of the pool and slid naturally into the pool where Serena was, right next to her.
Ash leaned on the edge of the pool with his eyes closed:
"It's so comfortable. The hot springs are really great! I feel like my fatigue is gone after soaking in it!"
Serena's whole body froze.
Ash was sitting next to her. She could clearly feel the other person's shoulders and arms, and the water droplets slid down his skin...
She felt her face was so hot she could fry an egg.
