We moved to Golden Courtyard

She didn't dare to go all out, afraid of hurting Xu Qi, so she had no choice but to ignore him and angrily went back to her room.

Xu Qi's greatest strength is his ability to take advantage of situations where they are already in trouble.

He shamelessly entered the room, then closed the door, scratching his head awkwardly as he said, "Um... Fu Hua, I just..."

"Don't mention what just happened!"

Fu Hua glared at Xu Qi, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Okay! Okay! We won't mention it, we won't mention it."

Fu Hua sat on the bed, puffing out her cheeks. To be honest, although she was angry, she was more lively and adorable than usual—her angry eyes held a hint of sternness, yet she still appeared gentle and graceful.

Her cheeks flushed with anger, her brows slightly furrowed, presented a unique kind of beauty. The elegance of an Eastern woman was perfectly embodied in her.

It's just this chest area...

Fu Hua suddenly stared at Xu Qi.

"You! Are you thinking of something rude again!"

Xu Qi quickly waved his hands and shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, I was just thinking... I'm sorry, I even thought Fu Hua, you looked beautiful just now..."

Fu Hua was taken aback.

The blush that had initially appeared due to embarrassment and annoyance gradually faded, replaced by a deeper sense of shyness.

She glared at me again and said, "Are you trying to flirt with me, brother?"

The word "brother" seemed to be a reminder to Xu Qi that he and she were sworn siblings, that Xu Qi was her godbrother, and that Fu Hua was his godsister.

Xu Qi smiled wryly and said, "It's the truth, A-Fu."

Fu Hua fell silent, her face truly blushing with embarrassment. Xu Qi stared wide-eyed, genuinely captivated by Fu Hua's beautiful appearance.

Her brows furrowed, her expression unwavering. Believe me, even without makeup, she possesses a captivating charm.

"Why...why did you just now..."

Fu Hua brought this up.

At this point, Xu Qi should have simply replied, "I touched the wrong thing. I actually wanted to play with Sakura's feet. I didn't expect it to be you. I'm sorry."

This common solution is generally sufficient.

However... whether it was his inner sea king or his fate of being a womanizer, it all started to take effect at this moment, and Xu Qi keenly sensed that this might not be the best solution.

Or rather, this might even be a dead end!

If he were to give such an answer, not only would it fail to ease the relationship with Fu Hua, but it might also cause the relationship between the two sides to fall to a freezing point again at this seemingly turning point!

Xu Qi gritted his teeth.

"Because they're so cute!"

"Ugh?"

Fu Hua stared blankly at Xu Qi, who was standing at the door.

Xu Qi was really going all out. He took a few more steps closer to Fu Hua. At the same time, his powerful mental energy was also helping him recall the details from the dinner table earlier.

Although he was only focused on Sakura and didn't pay attention to Fu Hua, Xu Qi had actually caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, but he hadn't noticed it.

Looking back now, Fu Hua was so startled by the first touch that she trembled and blushed as she looked at Xu Qi.

The subsequent teasing clearly showed her struggling to stay awake—so cute…

Xu Qi was realizing for the first time that Fu Hua was so adorable.

Although I always felt that a serious girl like Fu Hua had nothing to do with cuteness, I never expected... that she would be so charming after blushing!

"I'm sorry, Fu Hua! I was too much of a brother. I wanted to see your cute face so much that I decided to tease you."

But she's so cute! Fu Hua! That's why...that's why I did such a terrible thing! Please forgive me, Fu Hua!

……

As Xu Qi finished speaking, Fu Hua... aside from her already flushed face, her pupils trembled even more. She watched her brother approach step by step, not even thinking of dodging, but her mouth slightly open...

I wanted to say something, but the words stuck in my throat.

At this moment, memories began to flood Fu Hua's mind.

It was the immense joy Mei showed when she served Xu Qi with her feet in the morning, and it was Eden's passionate kiss with Xu Qi in the afternoon...

"You! You! You!...What are you saying?!"

"It's an apology."

"You apologized for what?!"

Fu Hua quickly stood up and, amidst Xu Qi's surprised expression, pushed and pulled him to the door before slamming it shut!

"Fu Hua? Fu Hua!?"

Leaning against the door, Fu Hua blushed and cried out when she heard Xu Qi's voice outside, "Stop making a fuss! I'm fine, I forgive you! Okay?"

"Could you open the door? I... I'm worried about you."

As her embarrassment and anger gradually subsided, Fu Hua took a deep breath, a gentle smile playing on her lips. If Xu Qi were still here, he would probably be stunned again...

Xu Qi is always like this... caring about her...

"I'm really fine, I just want to be alone."

"Okay, remember to let me know if anything happens, Hua."

"Um……"

Fu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard footsteps outside the door.

My heart is beating so fast...

Thinking of the words Xu Qi uttered as he approached step by step, her heart pounded even faster!

What's wrong with me?

It's like something is vaguely wandering around in my heart...

Fu Hua leaned against the door and slumped down—what...what's wrong with me?

179. Go to the balcony, right now!

Outside the door, Xu Qi was momentarily at a loss.

Could it be that Fu Hua still dislikes him? There was nothing he could do; in his desperation, this was all Xu Qi could think of. If only… he would have just answered honestly.

Then he saw Sakura, who had also rushed over out of concern, in the corridor.

"Did you see Fu Hua?"

"Ah."

Seeing Xu Qi's somewhat disappointed look, Ying couldn't help but feel puzzled.

It seems like the effect isn't very good... but it shouldn't be like this, right? With Xu Qi being such a top-tier suitor, Fu Hua should theoretically be powerless against him.

Sakura even imagined that when she arrived, she would see Xu Qi and Fu Hua already embracing.

After all, Fu Hua... sigh... how could a little girl's thoughts escape Sakura's eyes?

When she returned on the night of Qixi Festival, she understood everything.

What brother and sister...? I bet he's a lover.

and so……

What did you say to Fu Hua?

Xu Qi thought for a moment, then told his sister Ying all the conversations, even the thought process behind those words, without holding anything back.

Just like before, whether at work or in life, no matter what happens, you don't need to hide anything from Sakura. Just tell her everything, and she will always be able to help you find a solution.

Sakura is such an intelligent woman.

After Xu Qi finished speaking, he saw Ying staring at him with a very strange expression, as if she were looking at a monster.

"So, was my performance inside really that bad?"

I feel like it's definitely not a question of whether it's bad or not, my charming boyfriend...

Your impromptu words hit Fu Hua right on the head. The young lady is probably overjoyed but too shy to face anyone, which is why she kicked you out.

But Sakura would definitely not tell Xu Qi the truth.

There wasn't any particular reason; she just wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly between Xu Qi and Fu Hua.

Sakura has always been very easygoing; it's not that she's truly selfless and doesn't mind sharing Xu Qi with others.

But that's Fu Hua...

Sakura was quite interested.

In addition, this kid has been getting stronger and stronger recently thanks to Mebius's enhancements. Sakura thinks that with the current lineup... she probably can't be a slacker and just stir up trouble on the sidelines.

Wasn't that the same thing last time?

Originally, I just wanted to tease Xu Qi a bit and then appreciate how the professor, who usually seemed so aloof, behaved in that situation.

As a result, while teasing each other, he ended up getting himself arrested.

Sakura still remembers how strong Xu Qi was that night—we need another main player to help carry the output.

Sakura coughed.

"Well! Actually... it's not so bad."

"Um... So, Sister Sakura, after hesitating for so long, you gave me such an ambiguous answer?"

“No, not at all.” Sakura thought for a moment and then said, “It’s probably because you’re pushing too hard. Think about it, Fu Hua is just a young girl, she hasn’t even had a boyfriend yet, and you…”

Xu Qi's gaze wandered awkwardly.

Now that Sister Ying says it... it's true, the more I think about it, the more of a beast I feel.

“I know this girl well. She’s never even held a man’s hand, never had a proper relationship, and has nothing to do except go to class and practice martial arts.”

"Hmm..." Xu Qi pondered for a moment and then said, "Sister Ying, are you sure you're not talking about yourself?"

……

"Get lost! I must have been blind to fall for you when I was just looking for a relationship!"

Xu Qi immediately shamelessly hugged Ying and said, "Yes, yes, yes~~ It's my blessing to have Ying."

You seem to have quite a lot of good fortune.

Sakura rolled her eyes, ignored it, and continued speaking.

"Think about it, although modern society doesn't have as many traditional concepts, like a virgin's purity or being a young, unmarried woman, women still have the proper sense of propriety."

"really."

"Moreover, Fu Hua seems very traditional. For her, holding hands when going out probably means being in a relationship."

Xu Qi's expression changed, and he first exclaimed, "Ah!?"

Then a few seconds later...

He exclaimed "Ah!?" again!

Ying blinked, and sure enough, she actually understood the meaning of Xu Qi's two "ah"s.

"So... you think so too, right? Holding hands means you're dating."

"Isn't that right?!"

Sakura fell into deep thought—it seemed that was indeed the case…

The two silently looked at each other and suddenly realized that their thoughts and beliefs were actually quite similar...

At least Xu Qi, a notorious playboy, didn't think that holding hands was normal and didn't count as dating.

Let's skip this topic.

"Ok."
