We moved to Golden Courtyard

Ellie happily sat down to eat again, but realized something was wrong after just one bite.

No... so you still have to go see Xu Qi tonight, right?

Waaaaah... That's so mean...

How could you treat such a beautiful girl like that?

Seeing that he had no fun teasing Mei, Xu Qi rolled his eyes helplessly. Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly noticed that the small hand that had been on his waist was slowly moving down...

He crawled into his pants.

"!"

Xu Qi, feeling guilty, glanced around first before turning to Mei and whispering, "What are you doing?"

"I'll teach you a lesson."

lesson?

A soft, boneless little hand suddenly grabbed...

"!!"

Xu Qi quickly glanced at everyone again to make sure no one was paying attention before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

This girl is getting bolder and bolder!

At the dining table, Mei was still using her right hand to pick up food and eat, but no one could imagine what Mei's left hand was doing under the table...

Xu Qi sat in his seat, not daring to make the slightest movement, while Mei's cheeks flushed slightly.

If this gets discovered, we won't be able to stay on Earth anymore.

No, this is just too...too stimulating... Xu Qi slowly stretched his legs forward, however...the dining table wasn't actually wide, but rather very long.

With Xu Qi stretching his legs out like that, and given his height, it's very easy for him to... bump into the person opposite him.

That's exactly what happened. Xu Qi had already taken off her slippers, and her bare feet stretched out, just in time to touch a pair of soft little feet—wearing stockings, the touch was quite wonderful.

Xu Qi was startled and quickly looked across the street.

Sitting opposite him was... Sakura.

"call……"

fortunately.

She's putting on quite a good act, isn't she? Sakura? I touched her foot and she didn't react at all, she was still leisurely eating over there.

As if he had some mischievous thoughts, Xu Qi enjoyed Mei's small hands while constantly rubbing her feet.

Just like Xu Qi, Ying wasn't wearing shoes either.

Seemingly sensing Xu Qi's offense, the other party tried to pull his foot away, but Xu Qi deftly pressed it down with his foot and continued to rub against him.

Throughout the entire process, Sakura ate her food obediently, showing absolutely no signs of being manipulated.

Huh? What's going on? Is it my fault?

Or is it that Sakura's tolerance is too high?

Gradually, Mei seemed to notice Xu Qi's little actions, and whispered in Xu Qi's ear, "You're quite the player... Whose foot are you playing with?"

As he spoke, he applied a little more force, causing Xu Qi to flinch and lean forward slightly. If that had gone wrong, it would have been incredibly embarrassing…

There's no way to explain if your pants get all wet!

Xu Qi glared fiercely at Mei.

"Don't go too far."

"Hmph~~"

Mei was just joking, and seeing that Xu Qi might actually launch, she withdrew her hand.

Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in Mei's ear, "You'll be in for a surprise tonight..."

"You should take good care of your sister Ying first; she's not reacting at all."

It is true.

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow and intensified his teasing.

It's not just playing with the other person's feet anymore; it goes up along the ankle—tsk tsk~~ No wonder he's a martial artist; just by rubbing against it, you can feel an unprecedented explosive force.

Just as Xu Qi was about to continue teasing...

"boom!"

"Ok?"

"what?"

The sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl was quite loud, and everyone looked over to see what it was...

Fu Hua, her face flushed, placed her hand on the chopsticks.

She suddenly stood up.

"I'm full, I'm going home now."

As Fu Hua stood up, Xu Qi's prank was also dropped...

As Fu Hua was leaving, she glared fiercely at Xu Qi!

I... damn...

Xu Qi stared blankly at Ying and turned his face back to her. After noticing Xu Qi's gaze, Ying tilted her head, showing obvious confusion.

You've chosen the wrong person...

Fu Hua left, and just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Mei suddenly lowered her head and covered her mouth tightly with her hand, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

She's trying not to laugh... She must be trying not to laugh!

The thought involuntarily popped into everyone's mind.

Xu Qi also stood up and looked around at everyone with an embarrassed expression.

"Um... I'll go check, you guys eat first."

Chinese Valentine's Day Extra (Mea Yi)

"Mei, there's a social gathering later, right in front of the East China University of Political Science and Law gymnasium. Want to come? They're all handsome guys~~"

Inside the dormitory, the girls in the same room were joking around.

"Ah... I won't go, I have something to do later."

"Huh? No way, it's Qixi Festival today! If not now, when?"

Mei gave a wry smile and waved her hand.

After everyone in the dormitory had left, she finally let out a long sigh, opened her phone, and found "Shining Qiqi" in her contact list.

9:31

Raiden: How was your first day after the job transfer?

10:23

Raiden: So bored~~ all alone in my dorm room…

11:49

Raiden: Do you have any plans for tonight? How about we grab dinner together, to... celebrate your first day in your new job?

He didn't reply to any of the three messages...

Mei thought with a little disappointment—although she knew she would be busy, was this too busy? She couldn't even reply to a message... If this is how it is, am I really going to attend that kind of social gathering?

Never mind, I'll just keep thinking about it...

Mei pressed the blanket down and buried her face in the pillow.

I really want to see you... Xu Qi.

······

"Xu Qi, there's a door malfunction on vehicle 959. It's already back in the warehouse. Take the supplier up there and download the door data and vehicle signals."

Xu Qi, who had just taken off his safety helmet and returned to his work group, was taken aback. He glanced at the team leader and asked, "Now?"

"yes?"

"it is good."

I grabbed my laptop, put on my hat, and realized that Shanghai was still unbearably hot at the end of August, and my clothes were already soaked with sweat.

After Xu Qi left, the people in the work group began to whisper among themselves.

"Didn't he just finish inspecting the pantograph? He wasn't even allowed to rest before being sent out..."

"You don't understand, do you? He came in as an undergraduate, and being assigned to the work team is considered grassroots training. Our team leader... can't stand these theoretical types the most."

"That's not necessary..."

Shh! Stop talking about it, it's none of your business.

······

Mei, who was taking a nap in bed, suddenly heard her phone vibrate. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly got up and opened her phone to see an advertisement.

Gan!

Mei snorted in annoyance and was about to turn off her phone and go back to sleep when a message popped up on her screen.

Shining Qiqi: Okay, wait for me to get off work.

Mei's eyes lit up!

The reply was brief, but its content instantly lifted Mei's spirits! Yay! ~~

Raiden: I'll wait for you at school!

Mei hummed a song, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She jumped off the bed and started picking out clothes from the closet.

What should I wear?

I definitely look better in a dress!

······

"Look, the signal isn't being received at all with the door closed. It's been showing 0 for a while now. Try replacing the S4. Do you have a spare part?"

"I'll go find it."

"Go back quickly."

After the supplier left, Xu Qi let out a long sigh and slumped into his chair—he had already inspected four cars that morning, and had just finished working on the pantograph when he came back to repair the car door.

Even an iron man couldn't withstand this...

I turned on my phone, just about to see what message Mei had sent me, when a phone call came in.

"Hello? Squad leader."

"Has 959 been resolved?"

"Hmm, it should be fine. We just need to replace the spare part. I'm confident."

"Okay, I'll have Xiao Zhang go up and keep an eye on things. Oh, by the way, 923 needs to change lanes. Go and ask for directions, then follow the car."

"Um...why is 923..."

"The supplier just replaced his high-speed switch."

"I understand."

Tsk... Xu Qi grinned, this schedule is too packed...

······

In front of the full-length mirror, Mei changed into one outfit after another, but it seemed that none of them satisfied her.

No, rather than saying that Mei couldn't satisfy him, it's more accurate to say that... Mei felt that Xu Qi couldn't satisfy her.
