We moved to Golden Courtyard

But clearly... Eden really likes drinking, doesn't she?

"I'm really happy today. Thanks to Pado's birthday, I had the chance to get drunk... It's because you're here, Xu Qi. Because of you, I can feel at ease."

"!"

Xu Qi gripped Eden's hand tightly. The alcohol was gradually eroding his consciousness, but... how could he let such a thing happen?

Sister Eden trusts me so much, how could I possibly...

Xu Qi.

"Ok?"

"Give me a hug, okay?"

Xu Qi refused without even thinking!

"No!... Sister Eden, I... I can't..."

Seemingly sensing Xu Qi's inner turmoil, Eden didn't want to push her too hard. She smiled, affectionately stroked Xu Qi's cheek, and said softly.

"Just a hug, nothing else, just consider it... a reward for protecting me, okay?"

award……

Xu Qi recalled the gentle kiss Eden had given her on the corner of her lips before.

Yes... it's a reward.

It's just a reward.

This is just normal affection between siblings.

no big deal.

So Xu Qi let Eden lean against him, allowing him to lie in his arms.

Eden seemed very excited.

She greedily inhaled Xu Qi's scent, and said in a daze, "So good...so good..."

Eden looked at Xu Qi, and there seemed to be some emotion being suppressed in her eyes, and this emotion... was unexpectedly the same as Xu Qi's!

It was a kind of anticipation, and also a kind of fear...

The ambiguous atmosphere continued, but no one dared to take another step forward in their enjoyment.

She's my older sister...

He's my younger brother...

Suddenly, Eden seemed to remember something. She looked at Xu Qi and smiled, "Speaking of which, I told you so much about my past, but I forgot to give you some gifts."

"Gift?"

Xu Qi remembered that Alicia had mentioned this before—she would give you some small 'gifts' when she left, so don't refuse them, or Eden would be sad.

Recalling that lovely face, the jumbled thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down, and he smiled and asked, "So, Sister Eden, what do you want to give me?"

What should be given to Xu Qi?

That's really hard to think of.

As for money... worldly things are not enough to fill the emotional gap between me and Xu Qi.

As for rare treasures, Xu Qi wasn't particularly interested in them, and besides... they were just material things after all.

What does Xu Qi want?

Eden suddenly realized that even if she possessed all the wealth in the world, right now... she couldn't seem to come up with a gift that would satisfy Xu Qi.

And with that, they still have the nerve to call it the "Golden" Inscription...

Her gaze suddenly shifted to Xu Qi's lips, then she looked at herself...

Eden suddenly understood what "gold" meant to Xu Qi.

I want to... give you a kiss.

Xu Qi shuddered!

"Sister Eden?"

"This is a gift, a gift that belongs only to you, Xu Qi, so don't overthink it, okay? We're still siblings. A sister giving a kiss to express her love for her brother is... a very normal thing, isn't it?"

That heavenly voice began to echo in Xu Qi's ears again.

Is it normal?

Yeah...it should be...quite normal...

Yes, right...

Their eyes met, and Eden nodded slightly, as if to say—yes…

If that previous reward was a sneak attack by Sister Eden, then this time... it could actually be said that Xu Qi took the initiative.

As their lips met, Xu Qi savored the Eden called "Gold." What kind of heavenly sensation would those full lips offer? He didn't know; he only knew that at the moment of their kiss...

The forbidden feelings between siblings weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain, but this guilt quickly transformed into a strange pleasure.

She's my sister, and now... I'm kissing her...

Xu Qi dared not move rashly, and did not even dare to pry open the other person's teeth.

Because even just that one kiss was almost too much for him to bear.

What about Eden?

They're the same...

The two of them were clumsy like novices who had just learned to kiss—oh, Eden wasn't just like, she was!

Their lips parted, and their hazy eyes met; they kissed with great restraint.

Eden nestled back into Xu Qi's arms and whispered.

"Xu Qi..."

“Eden…”

This time, Xu Qi did not address the other person as "sister," seemingly trying to deliberately avoid something.

This avoidance only made Eden's smile widen.

"This gift may be too small. I'll give it to you in several installments later. You mustn't refuse."

"..."

Xu Qi silently closed his eyes and said softly, "Okay."

151. Alicia: Mei's still right here...

They made a ruckus all night, so much so that even Fu Hua, who is usually very punctual, was unable to get up early the next day.

As for Xu Qi... after coaxing Eden to sleep, it was almost 3 a.m. when he finally went back to his room.

At night, Xu Qi even dreamed of Eden...

This meant that when Xu Qi woke up naturally around noon, she had to awkwardly change her underwear...

Eden...

Xu Qi shook his head violently, trying to banish those distracting thoughts.

Last night, I treated it all as a dream. Eden is my older sister; I can't think about it too much... I can't think about it too much...

Xu Qi felt that in order to suppress this thought, he needed to find someone to help him. Hmm... but who should he ask? This was truly a difficult choice.

……

Xu Qi slipped into Mei's room with practiced ease and saw that both of them were still asleep—which put her at ease.

There are pigs.

Then I'm welcome.

She sneaked onto the two people's bed, but this time... Xu Qi didn't have to worry about waking anyone up.

He thought for a moment, then decided not to disturb Mei, and instead lay down next to Airi.

But as soon as Xu Qi got into bed, she raised an eyebrow—"You little rascal, Ai Li…you're awake! Pretending to be asleep while I was on the other end? Did you learn that from Mei?"

Without pointing out the other person's little scheme, Xu Qi reached out and stroked Ai Li's cheek.

Sure enough... it became famous.

Xu Qi moved closer, and Ai Li shrank back a little bit, until... there was nowhere left for her to shrank back, and if she moved any further she would touch Mei.

Xu Qi stopped teasing her and whispered in Ai Li's ear, "You were awake a long time ago, weren't you? My little devil?"

Opening her eyes with a pitiful look, Ellie gently patted Xu Qi's chest and said, "You just know how to tease me... You naughty Xu Qi, you bad Xu Qi."

Reaching out, Xu Qi pulled Ai Li into his arms and silenced her with his index finger.

"Mei is still right there..."

"!"

Stimulate……

"You were awake when I played with Mei last time, right?"

Ellie nodded.

"Then this time I'll play you in my crowdfunding group 456127940."

Airi couldn't help but roll her eyes, just like Mei did.

"You're so unserious, I have no idea how I fell for you."

Xu Qi smiled, but didn't actually play. Instead, he simply held Alicia in his arms and enjoyed the moment of peace.

This action inevitably surprised Ellie.

"Aren't you going to play?"

"I'm not with you because I'm after your body."

Alicia smiled sweetly.

"I apologize for not spending enough time with you lately."

Ellie shook her head, snuggling closer to Xu Qi's embrace, and said, "No need. As long as you think of me occasionally and keep me company, I'm already very satisfied."

……

Sometimes I find Xu Qi quite amazing, after all, he is so greedy, coveting the love of every girl.

But this version of herself is able to win Alicia's favor...

She never seemed to complain. As long as Xu Qi was willing to spend a little time and energy, this girl would feel very satisfied.

She's a girl who's easily satisfied... and also very pitiful.

"Why don't you ask me for more things instead..."

"No way, you'll feel really tired that way, right? Hehe! Aren't I understanding?"

……

Xu Qi's kiss landed on Alicia's lips, and for a moment, he felt that he was not good enough for such a perfect girl.

Xu Qi.

"Ok?"

"I love you no less than anyone else."

……

A kiss landed on Alicia's lips, her tongue easily prying open her teeth. Rather, it's more accurate to say that... Alicia never resists Xu Qi.

Xu Qi was oblivious to the girl's allure; she was as radiant as a flower, and everything about her seemed to smell sweet.

Holding a chubby body in your arms can easily make you feel intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself.
