Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

In the bathroom, Aimei squatted on the floor, covering her face, and remained stunned for a full minute.

My mind is a mess, filled with images from just now.

Jiang Chuan entered the bathroom and saw his underwear...

Jiang Chuan picked up his underwear...

Jiang Chuan neatly placed his underwear aside...

Those underwear were ones I'd just taken off; they were still sweaty, and might even have a different smell...

"Ahhh~"

Ai Mei screamed inwardly, her face burning hot enough to fry an egg.

She squatted there until her legs went numb before slowly standing up.

She walked up to the clothes rack and reached for her underwear and bra.

His fingers paused when they touched the light green underwear.

A faint smell of sweat mixed with a peculiar odor wafted into my nostrils.

That's the smell of my own body.

Aimei's eyes widened instantly, her hand trembled, and her underwear almost fell to the ground.

What did she just do?

How could someone do such a thing!

He must have lost his mind!

Aimei bit her lip hard, feeling like she was on fire.

She grabbed her underwear, rushed to the sink, turned on the tap, and vigorously rinsed the underwear under the cold water.

Amidst the rushing water, she mechanically scrubbed, her movements so fast it was as if she wanted to wash away the memories of what had just happened.

I rubbed it over and over again.

I applied laundry detergent three times.

I rubbed them until my fingers turned white before I stopped.

Wring it dry and hang it on a clothes hanger.

Throughout the entire process, she dared not look at herself in the mirror.

Because she knew that the person in the mirror must be blushing like a monkey's bottom.

After finishing, Aimei ran back to her room as if fleeing, buried herself in the blankets, and wrapped herself up like a ball.

It's all over, it ......

How am I going to face Mr. Jiang Chuan tomorrow...?

She rolled around on the bed, her mind a jumbled mess.

Finally, I don't know when, I drifted off to sleep.

...........................

Early the next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, drawing a golden line on the floor.

Aimee opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while.

Then the memories of last night flooded back.

She sat up abruptly, clutching her chest and taking a deep breath.

It's okay, it's okay.

Perhaps Mr. Jiangchuan wasn't thinking about anything at all?

Maybe they didn't even care?

Yes, that must be it.

Don't overthink things.

Aimei spent a long time mentally preparing herself before finally getting out of bed.

After changing my clothes, I opened the door.

In the living room, Jiang Chuan was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Pikachu and Eevee squatted at his feet, the two little creatures looking up at the snacks in his hands with longing eyes.

"No, you can't eat snacks right after waking up," Jiang Chuan said sternly.

Pikachu: "Pika pika..." (It's just a small piece...)

Eevee: "Boohoo~" (Please~)

Jiang Chuan remained unmoved.

The two little ones immediately shifted their attention. When they saw Aimei come out, they ran over and circled around her.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

"Bueebuy!"

Aimei was amused and squatted down to pat their heads.

As she squatted down, the neckline of her clothes opened slightly, revealing a small patch of her collarbone.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it and then naturally looked away.

Good morning.

Aimee stiffened slightly, but quickly composed herself, stood up, and nodded: "Good morning, Mr. Jiang Chuan."

The tone was normal.

His expression was normal.

He didn't flinch.

Okay, that's settled.

Ai Mei gave herself a mental thumbs up.

Just then, the kitchen door opened, and Hanako came out carrying breakfast.

"They're all awake? Perfect timing, come and eat."

She was wearing simple loungewear, her hair casually tied back, looking gentle and virtuous.

Xiaoxia followed behind, the little girl rubbing her eyes, clearly having just woken up.

"It smells so good..." Xiaoxia sniffed. "What did Hanako-nee make?"

"Fried eggs, bacon, toast, and milk," Hanako said with a smile. "Sit down and eat."

Several people sat around the dining table.

Ayano also came out of her room, looking much better than yesterday, and walking with more energy.

She sat next to Hanako, smiling as she served food to everyone.

"Eat more, Jiang Chuan, you've been training hard."

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Chuan took the chopsticks.

Aimei sat opposite Jiang Chuan, eating with her head down, without saying a word.

But his eyes would occasionally dart over there.

Take a quick look, then put it back immediately.

I took one last look, then put it back.

Hanako noticed it, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She placed a fried egg on Aimei's plate: "Aimei, eat more. You still have to teach Jiangchuan boxing later, right?"

Aimee paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"Then you'd better eat your fill," Hanako said with a smile. "Practicing boxing is very taxing."

Aimei's ears turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and hummed in agreement.

Xiaoxia didn't notice any of this and focused on dealing with the bacon on her plate.

After finishing the last piece, she sighed contentedly, "Hanako-nee's cooking is really delicious."

"Eat more if you like," Hanako said with a smile.

The breakfast was warm and lively.

...........................

After finishing her meal, Aimei cleared away the dishes.

Hanako eagerly offered to help: "I'll do it, you guys go and get on with your business."

Aimi wanted to say something, but Hanako pushed her away.

"Go ahead, go ahead, the air in the yard is fresh, it's perfect for practicing your boxing."

Aimei had no choice but to put down what she was holding and look at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan had already stood up and stretched his shoulders.

"Let's go."

The two went into the courtyard.

The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was just right.

Ai Mei took a deep breath and got herself into the zone.

"Let's continue practicing the same routine as yesterday. First, review yesterday's movements, then learn the new ones."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

The two stood still and began.

Start by throwing a punch, then turning and kicking...

Jiang Chuan's movements were smoother than yesterday.

Every movement was executed perfectly, and the point of force application was accurate.

Aimei watched from the side, her eyes filled with surprise.

How could he get this badly injured in just one day?

"Stop for a moment." She walked over. "When you turn around, you need to lower your waist a little more."

As she spoke, she reached out and placed her hand on Jiang Chuan's waist.

The moment she pressed her hand down, she felt solid, hard muscles beneath her fingertips!

You can feel the body temperature through the thin T-shirt.

My heart skipped a beat because of my love for beauty.

But she quickly regained her composure and carefully corrected her movements.

"Yes, that's it. Then when you throw a punch, you need to push off the ground with your legs, and the power should be transmitted from the soles of your feet to your waist, and then from your waist to your fist."

She spoke while guiding the conversation with her hands.

Her hand slid from Jiang Chuan's waist to his back, and then to his shoulder.

Every point of contact was burning hot.

Jiang Chuan did as she said.

"Much better!" Aimee's eyes lit up. "Let's do it again."

I did it again.

"Perfect!"

Aimei couldn't help but clap her hands, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

The sunlight shone on her face, making her fair skin glow with a faint pink hue.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead from exercising.

A few strands of hair clung to her cheeks.

Jiang Chuan looked at her and smiled: "It's because you taught me well."

Ai Mei blushed slightly and looked away.

"Then...then let's learn the next section."

...........................

In the living room.

Hanako and Ayano sat on the sofa drinking tea.

Pikachu and Eevee nestled together on the mat next to them, the two little guys huddled together, lazily sunbathing.

"Ayano-nee, you look great." Hanako looked her over. "Much better than yesterday."

Ayano touched her face and smiled, "Right? I feel it too. I feel energetic all over."

"That's good." Hanako took a sip of tea. "It seems your body is slowly recovering."

Ayano nodded and looked out the window.

Through the glass, you can see two figures in the yard.

Jiang Chuan and Ai Mei stood together, one teaching and the other learning.

Ai Mei's hand rested on Jiang Chuan's body, occasionally gesturing something.

The two were standing very close together.

As Ayano watched, a smile crept onto her lips.

"Hanako."

"Um?"

What do you think of Jiang Chuan?

Hanako paused for a moment, realizing that Ayano didn't know she had already given herself to Jiangchuan. She smiled and said, "Very good. Young, capable, and reliable. And she's trained her Pokémon well too."

"If that's the case, then Jiang Chuan is truly someone I can rely on."

Hanako followed her gaze to the window and smiled: Jiangchuan, good luck!

The two men quietly drank their tea, watching a young couple in the courtyard.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, making it feel warm and cozy.

Pikachu rolled over, revealing its little belly.

Eevee covered it with its tail.

The two little ones slept even more soundly.

...........................

The atmosphere here is harmonious and joyful.

Xiaoxia looked utterly dejected.

In the pond, Psyducks float on the water's surface.

With limbs outstretched, belly up, and eyes staring blankly at the sky.

Not moving at all.

It looks like an inflatable duck.

"Psyduck," Misty said, barely containing her anger, "Can't you move a little?"

Psyduck didn't react.

"Swimming, you know? It's about using your legs to paddle and swim forward."

Still no response.

"At least turn over! What kind of duck floats like that!"

Psyduck finally reacted.

It blinked and slowly rolled over.

Then it continued to drift.

It lay face down, still motionless.

Xiaoxia: "..."

She took a deep breath and told herself to be patient.

Jiang Chuan found this Psyduck for her.

Jiang Chuan said this guy might be very powerful.

Xiaoxia trusted Jiang Chuan's judgment.

But the problem is...

How come this duck can't even swim?

"Psyduck, look!" Misty pointed to the other side of the pond.

Several water-type Pokémon are swimming happily in the water.

"See? They can all swim. Why don't you try?"

Psyduck looked in the direction she was pointing.

I looked at it for a long time.

Then he looked away.

It continues to drift.

"you!"

Xiaoxia clenched her fists.

Just then, a starfish swam over and looked at Psyduck with curiosity.

Psyduck was looking at it too.

The two stared at each other for three seconds.

Then Psyduck stretches out its wings and slowly pushes the starfish away.

Keep drifting.

The starfish looked completely bewildered.

Xiaoxia covered her face.

Oh no, this duck is doomed.

...........................

The days that followed continued like this, one after another.

Every morning, Hanako gets up early to make breakfast.

Fried eggs, bacon, bread, milk—come up with different kinds of dishes.

Sometimes I'll also make some Japanese side dishes to go with miso soup.

Several people sat together, chatting and laughing, making a lively scene.

After dinner, Aimei and Jiangchuan went to the yard to practice their boxing.

Hanako and Ayano cleared the dishes and then sat in the living room to drink tea and chat.

Xiaoxia went to the backyard to train her water-type Pokémon.

Occasionally, they come back to complain about how stupid Psyduck is.

Hanako made lunch at noon.

Sometimes it's curry rice, sometimes it's ramen, and sometimes it's sushi rolls.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chuan continued practicing his boxing, or discussed training techniques for Fighting-type Pokémon with Ai Mei.

We ate dinner together in the evening, watched TV, and chatted.

Life was peaceful and warm.

...........................

There are bound to be some ambiguous moments when practicing boxing.

For example, when Jiang Chuan was sweating too much, his fingers touched when Ai Mei handed him a towel.

Both of them paused for a moment, then simultaneously withdrew their hands.

For example, when Ai Mei demonstrates her movements, Jiang Chuan watches from the side.

When she bent over, her hot pants tightened, highlighting the perfect curve of her hips.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it and then naturally looked away.

But Ai Mei felt it; her face flushed slightly.

For example, on one occasion, Aimei asked Jiang Chuan to kick her legs.

"Higher, yes, higher..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chuan kicked him.

The wind from her feet created a gust of air, lifting the hem of her beautiful skirt.

She was wearing a short skirt, and underneath she was wearing light green underwear, and she was extremely embarrassed.

"Mr. Egawa!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The atmosphere became even more ambiguous.

...........................

Hanako occasionally lends a helping hand.

For example, deliberately leaving the two of them alone together.

"I'm going to help Ayano-nee cook. You guys keep practicing."

For example, when eating, have the two of them sit together.

"Aimei, sit next to Jiang Chuan and tell him about the afternoon's training plan."

For example, when watching TV at night, you might pretend to be sleepy and want to go to bed.

Then he pulled Kasumi and Ayano back to their room.

Only Jiang Chuan and Ai Mei remained in the living room.

The two sat on the sofa, not paying attention to what was on TV.

The air was so quiet you could hear each other breathing.

My heart races with desire for beauty, and I don't know where to put my hands.

She glanced at Jiang Chuan furtively.

They met Jiang Chuan's gaze.

The two of them looked away at the same time.

...........................

The days passed by.

Aimei's affection for Jiangchuan increased dramatically.

She loved watching his serious expression when he practiced boxing.

I like the gentle tone in his voice.

I like the way he looks at me sometimes.

I love the gentle way he touches Pikachu and Eevee.

I like the way he and Xiaoxia bicker.

I like it when he praises Hanako's cooking while we're eating.

I like his patience when he chats with his mother.

I like everything.

She knew that something, perhaps both terrible and wonderful, was sprouting.

...........................

Finally, the day of the P1 Fighting Tournament arrived.

The night before, Aimei helped Jiangchuan pack his things.

"Have you brought everything you need for the competition?" she asked.

"I brought it." Jiang Chuan pointed to his backpack. "Healing potions and energy cubes, all of them."

How's Intense Monkey doing lately?

"It's great. It's mastered the techniques you taught it."

Aimei nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

But I also felt a little empty inside.

Jiang Chuan is leaving tomorrow.

Although it's just for a competition, we'll eventually have to part ways.

She lowered her head and continued packing her things without saying a word.

...........................

Early the next morning.

Everyone got up.

Hanako prepared a lavish breakfast as a farewell gift for Jiangchuan.

After finishing their meal, the group stood at the door.

The shuttle bus is almost here.

Aimei stood in front of Jiang Chuan, hesitant to speak.

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, he simply lowered his head and whispered, "Be careful on the road."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Mm."

The atmosphere was a bit somber.

At that moment, Ayano spoke up.

"Aimei, you should come with me."

Aimei was taken aback: "What?"

"Let's go together," Ayano said with a smile. "You'll need some guidance for the competition, right? What if Egawa needs your help?"

Ai Mei's heart raced, but she still said, "But Mom, you..."

"I'm fine," Ayano interrupted her. "I'm feeling much better these past few days. See, didn't I cook with Hanako last night?"

"Besides, it's not far, only a two-hour drive," Ayano said. "Just keep in touch. Go ahead, Mom supports you."

Ai Mei's face flushed slightly.

Mom's "support" seems to go beyond just supporting her to participate in the competition...

But she didn't think much about it, or rather, she didn't dare to think much about it.

"Then...then I'll go?" She looked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan laughed: "Great! Having a beautiful female coach with me gives me even more confidence for the competition."

Ai Mei's face turned even redder.

Xiaoxia chimed in from the side, "Oh~ Sister Aimei is going to accompany Jiang Chuan to the competition~"

"Xiaoxia!" Aimei glared at her.

Hanako laughed and pulled Kasumi away, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

Ayano stepped forward and straightened Aimi's collar.

"Go ahead. Take good care of Jiang Chuan, and take good care of yourself too."

Aimee nodded and continued, "Mom, you must take care of yourself. Take your medicine on time and don't overwork yourself. Call me if anything happens..."

"Alright, alright," Ayano interrupted her with a smile, "You really treat your mother like a child. Go on, don't miss the bus."

Aimei took a deep breath and nodded.

She picked up her pre-packed bag and walked out with Jiang Chuan.

He took a few steps and then looked back.

Her mother stood at the door, smiling and waving at her.
