We moved to Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi never learned to hide what he wanted to pursue. This time, he not only affirmed his own heart, but also Mei's heart.

There's no reason to let go of such a wonderful girl, and even less reason to engage in awkward, ambiguous behavior.

Mei sat in her seat, head down, her two little hands clasped together. When the moment came, they became entangled in their own thoughts.

"I……"

"Don't rush to give an answer, Mei."

Mei froze, then looked up in a panic, her face turning deathly pale, her eyes conveying a message that seemed to say—

Don't abandon me...

Xu Qi felt a pang of pain in his heart—how could I possibly abandon you?

He stretched out his arms and, seeing Mei's blushing expression return, pulled the girl into his embrace.

The young girl's delicate body was in his arms, her ample bosom enough to stir the heart, but Xu Qi at the moment... was so calm that even he could hardly believe it.

"I will not let go, absolutely not!"

Xu Qi's firm words soothed Mei's heart. Surrounded by his aura, Mei's eyes became somewhat dazed.

When she let go, she even seemed a little reluctant.

Xu Qi couldn't help but flick Mei's nose and chuckled.

Crowdfunding group 456127940: "I can see you're still a little confused—that's normal. Dating is a first for everyone, you are, and so am I."

Mei blushed, but couldn't help but retort stubbornly, "Who said this is my first time? Maybe I had a boyfriend in middle school?"

"Okay, well, this isn't the first time for me."

Mei's eyes suddenly turned somewhat dangerous.

"Who?"

It wasn't until I saw Xu Qi laughing so hard he was doubled over that I realized I had been tricked.

Mei couldn't help but clench her fists and lightly tap the other person's chest—she didn't dare to use force, after all, Xu Qi had just had surgery and she was afraid of hurting him.

"Mei, would you... like to move to the Golden Garden?"

"Ugh?"

"Let's give it a try." Xu Qi naturally took Mei's small hand, which made Mei hold her breath again.

"Anyway, you don't seem to get along very well with your roommates, so you might as well move in... Perfect, just take some time to relax, think it over and give me an answer. I'm not in a hurry, and neither are you."

How can I refuse you when you've gone this far...?

Mei was secretly embarrassed and annoyed, but in reality, the corners of her mouth turned up as if she had eaten honey.

"Oh... whatever you say."

14. Bronya used the box weapon.

"Actually, Alahatto has done a pretty good job in building the world view. He just needs a new work that caters to the market to regain popularity."

"I agree with your point of view. The Alahatto IP can still be saved."

"The main problem with the latest installment is that it's too child-oriented, to the point that it's just robots fighting. There's no strong core to it."

"Perhaps it's because of a compromise with the market..."

Xu Qi, who had already been discharged from the hospital, paused in her typing when she saw Bronya's message with the ID "Heavy Bunny" on the other end of the line.

Yes... compromise...

Three weeks have passed since the accident, and Xu Qi has finally received Su's discharge permission.

He was discharged from the hospital amidst the stares of the nurses, who looked at him as if he were a monster.

As mentioned before, Xu Qi hoped that Mei could move to Golden Courtyard. Since summer vacation is coming soon, Mei plans to wait until things at school are completely settled before moving in.

As for Xu Qi...

He didn't tell the company that he had been discharged from the hospital. Anyway, during one of the visits from his superiors, he was given three months of paid leave.

Since that's the case... can't we just waste it properly?

You still need to get more rest.

Furthermore, Mebius also advised Xu Qi not to rush back to work, but to stay in the Golden Courtyard and recuperate for a while longer—Xu Qi would definitely listen to the professor.

Perhaps it was to take care of Xu Qi, who was ill.

In short, the Golden Courtyard, which is usually noisy at night, was unusually quiet tonight.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest early, so as not to let Xu Qi get into an excited state.

This kind of thoughtfulness is silent, but it is worth remembering.

Even though it's only been half a year, everyone at Golden Courtyard has truly become like family to Xu Qi.

"Speaking of which, do you have any good ideas about Alahatto?"

Upon seeing Bronya's question, Xu Qi raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

"It's no use having any ideas; they won't listen to me."

"Just say it, consider it as bragging among enthusiasts."

That's true.

How could Xu Qi not have any thoughts about Alahato, which he loves so much?

"The main reason for compromising with the market is that Alahato has been declining in recent years. Not only are no new people willing to get into it, but various peripheral products, especially the glue, are not selling very well."

Simply put, Alahato no longer has the confidence to say no to the market as it did in the past.

His clear and insightful words left the other person speechless for a moment.

Bronya didn't reply for a long time.

"Indeed, as the sun sets, perhaps Alahato has grown old."

"It's not impossible for it to have a second spring."

"?"

"In the past, the plot of Alahatto was like a historical fact. The weight brought by that sense of realism is why everyone was reluctant to get into Alahatto. In other words, everyone knows it is a good work, but they just don't want to watch it."

……

In a detached villa in downtown Shanghai, Bronya sat cross-legged in the living room, looking at the notebook in front of her, and suddenly chuckled.

What kind of things is Xu Qi saying?

"First, let's step outside the existing Allahata world, create a world similar to Allahata, name it Allahata, and set sail anew."

Bronya frowned.

She suddenly felt like she had grasped something...

Recreate a world similar to Alahatto...

Who exactly is Xu Qi? Many of his ideas are novel and thought-provoking. I felt he was a very special person when I was in the hospital.

"In this way, the new Alahatto can retain the core spirit of the original Alahatto while shedding that sense of heaviness. Of course, this is far from enough."

"Then what should we do?"

Bronya seemed a little impatient.

Sitting in front of the computer, Xu Qi raised an eyebrow—it seemed he had indeed met a like-minded person. He could tell that the guy opposite him shared his passion for Alahatto.

"gorgeous."

"gorgeous?"

"That's right! First of all, handsome men and beautiful women, and secondly, extremely gorgeous mecha designs! While abandoning that sense of heaviness, we also abandoned the sense of realism!"

"Ah, this..."

Bronya hesitated—was such a change too drastic for Alahato…

"To regain popularity, necessary innovations are essential! However, we must be clear about what can be abandoned and what cannot."

Miss Bronya, do you really believe that the core of Alahatto is its authenticity and depth?

Of course not...

Any creator would not believe that the core of Alahat is just these simple, superficial things.

"Our philosophy is that we hope everyone can understand each other, that the world will no longer be distorted, and that people will no longer live tragically because they hurt each other..."

That's right!

This is the real Allahato!

"Grasp this point, and that's Alahat! You don't even need an overly dark and brutal plot. Darkness and brutality are just techniques used to express the core message."

Many people even think that darkness and cruelty are the essence of Allahato—that's a complete joke! They don't understand what Allahato is at all!

That's right!

That's it!

Bronya slammed her hand on the table and stood up excitedly! Countless thoughts were swirling in her mind, and she wanted to express them all at once!

No... I can't stand... this feeling... of wanting to express myself, but the person who inspires me isn't around... I can't!

Bronya's mouth was slightly open, her face flushed—No... if she kept holding it in like this... her body would break down!

She quickly sat back down at the computer and asked a question that left Xu Qi completely baffled.

Are you home now?

"Huh? Yeah?"

"Ok."

And then nothing more was said.

Xu Qi scratched his head—what does this mean?

In front of the computer, Bronya's hands flew across the keyboard, almost leaving afterimages—what kind of hand speed is that?

"Golden Courtyard...Xu Qi!"

She shut down her laptop! Bronya packed her bags as quickly as possible and rushed into the garage.

There, a silver-blue motorcycle sat quietly...

The slight dust on her head suggested that she had recently been neglected by her master—after all, Bronya would only choose to ride her when she was particularly excited.

Hop on her heavily armed bunny!

He put on his helmet and nimbly flipped himself onto the vehicle.

As Bronya gripped the handlebars, a mechanical, electronic voice came from inside her helmet.

"Heavy-Reloaded Rabbit is at your service."

"Let's go! Heavy-duty bunny!"

"Received—Heavy Bunny! Launch!"

The roar of the engine echoed throughout the night sky! It was as if announcing that Bronya, who was once confident and ambitious, and who attempted to save the entire ET Studio single-handedly, had returned.

15. Love, love with Alicia.

In front of the computer, Xu Qi scratched his head—suddenly his head felt really itchy, wondering if a brain was growing in...

This Bronya, we were having a nice chat, then she asked if I was home and then fell silent—what does that mean? You can't just come to my house, can you?

Besides, I never told you where I live.

Shaking his head, Xu Qi turned off the computer and was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door.

Who could it be so late?

"Brother Xu Qi, are you asleep?"
