We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Ok?"

Xu Qi turned his head, and there was Rita, staring blankly at the sky. The bright orange light of the streetlights illuminated half of Rita's face.

It was so beautiful, so captivating...

"If one day... I find myself in this dilemma, could you... give me the same tenderness?"

"..."

Xu Qi did not respond immediately. He reached out and put his arm around Rita, and she did not resist at all, leaning gently on Xu Qi's shoulder.

“If Miss Rita could rely on me more, I wouldn’t put you in this kind of dilemma.”

"Can I take this as you bargaining?"

"How could that be? I should be the one to work on this kind of thing."

"You go through all the trouble to win me over, only to add more worries to your life?"

“If it’s Miss Rita, I’d be happy to do so.”

Rita chuckled softly, her eyes narrowing to appear long and elegant. She glanced at Xu Qi and said, "You smooth talker."

"At least the heart that you touched is real."

"You like me that much? You scumbag?"

Well, it seems I'll have another nickname coming up, although... I am indeed quite a scumbag, but Xu Qi doesn't care anymore.

In his relationships with women, he is spoiled rotten by his current girlfriends to the point of having no limits.

The land of beauties, the graveyard of heroes...

"Yes, because we are the same kind of people."

"But I might not be as gentle as you imagine."

Xu Qi turned around and placed his hands on Rita's shoulders. Face to face at such close range, Rita knew that this man was up to his old tricks again...

"Then let's get to know each other better. Maybe I'll like Rita even more, and maybe that liking will gradually turn into love."

"Why does it feel like, even though you're the one pursuing me, it's like I'm also pursuing you?"

Xu Qi smiled.

“Essentially, it is indeed a reciprocal process.”

"Then it seems I'll have to serve you well, lest you end up thinking Rita is nothing special and give up."

Xu Qi tilted his head, feigning distress.

"probably."

"You're dreaming."

"I can think of something even more beautiful."

……

Their eyes met in the night. They realized that the streets had gradually become deserted, with no one coming or going anymore.

Under the streetlights, Xu Zhongchou could even see Rita's delicate, long eyelashes trembling under his gaze.

Xu Qi asked softly, "Is that alright?"

Rita was furious—this little idiot! Why is he being so gentlemanly all of a sudden? Oh… because she had just told him this morning that she shouldn't force a kiss on her anymore…

"Can't you be a little more flexible? You're still such a little idiot!" Rita turned her head away, sulking and refusing to talk to Xu Qi.

Suddenly, Xu Qi pulled Rita closer. Her head was tilted slightly, but that didn't stop Xu Qi from easily kissing Rita's lips.

I was kissed again...

And this time it happened on the street!

Although there was no one around...

Let's just consider this a little encouragement for this silly boy, so he doesn't actually give up halfway through the pursuit.

Well, it's not that I've fallen for him; I still like Lady Durandal, it's just... at night, on a quiet street like this where no one is around.

A man and a woman were confiding in each other... no, it was this silly girl unilaterally expressing her love for him.

This scene stirred a ripple in Rita's heart...

Actually, I like him, I think...

It wasn't that he was seen as a substitute for Durandal, but rather that the young man, like his ideal self, respected life and always put it into action.

This is true both inside the tunnels of Shanghai and in the skies of Guangzhou.

Just like... her deceased teacher.

Xu Qi always says that he and Xu Qi are actually the same kind of people.

Maybe so... But Rita suddenly felt a pang of panic. She was afraid that once Xu Qi knew everything about her, he might still be able to reach such a certain conclusion.

I'm sorry, Xu Qi... I might still disappoint you in the end...

But at least before that, I want to show you your favorite Rita Rossweisse.

……

In the shadows on one side of the street, a blonde woman wearing sunglasses silently observes everything before her.

A couple embracing and kissing is so heartwarming.

only……

Durandal took off her sunglasses, got up, and left.

"Rita...you've finally found your happiness..."

Durandal certainly remembered the man who kissed Rita—Xu Qi. She quite liked him, not in a liking way, but in a way that felt very much to her liking.

"It's alright, Rita, this time... I'll protect your happiness!"

240. You mustn't answer the phone at a time like this!

A rare weekend morning at Golden Courtyard.

Mei's soft voice could be heard from time to time in the room, indicating the pleasure she was experiencing.

To be honest, Mei was already used to this situation. Waking up in the morning was exactly when Xu Qi was in the most high spirits of the day, and sometimes she didn't even do anything.

She was just sitting on the edge of the bed getting dressed when Xu Qi pulled her into the covers, just like now.

Unfortunately, Mei really loves Xu Qi. What can she do if her boyfriend likes him?

Can you stop me from doing it? Unless I'm on my period.

And...it really feels so comfortable...

Of course, Xu Qi couldn't help it; Mei was truly alluring. Being a young girl has its advantages, one of which is her powerful and wild legs—a trait none of his other girlfriends possessed.

Looking at Mei's seductive expression, the happiness and pleasure in his heart were equal to the physical sensations he experienced.

However, halfway through, Xu Qi's phone, which he had tossed on the bedside table, suddenly vibrated, startling the two who were still engrossed in their work.

However, Xu Qi did not stop what he was doing; he picked up the phone with an unhappy expression.

Let's see which idiot dares to call him at this time.

……

Mei, who was still enduring the pleasure, suddenly noticed that Xu Qi's frequency had decreased slightly. She opened her half-closed eyes and asked suspiciously, trying to suppress the pleasure.

"Who is it calling at this hour?"

"Tsk... Shigure Kira."

Who is that?

Perhaps she was so overwhelmed by the pleasure that it took Mei a while to remember—oh~~ it was that energetic girl with the white ponytail.

It twinkles like a little idol, piloting a green exoskeleton armor; its name seems to be—Cheravis. It belongs to that mysterious organization called EarthNet.

This annoyed Mei. At this moment, Xu Qi straightened up and knelt in front of Mei with his legs apart to serve her so that he could answer the phone more easily.

Like a mother protecting her child, Mei suddenly clamped her legs around Xu Qi's buttocks, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction with Xu Qi slowing down.

What was she calling for?

There's a strong smell of vinegar...

Xu Qi looked at Mei with amusement. Was it really necessary? It was just that she was moving a little slower. Of course, he also knew that this whole charade was really making things awkward.

"Then we won't answer. Let's finish our business first."

She was about to throw her phone away when Mei waved her hand.

"No... Hey! Stop messing around."

It turns out that Xu Qi had suddenly used a bit too much force.

"Go ahead and answer it. Don't do it yet. What if it's something important? It wouldn't be good to delay it."

Although her body was still craving it, Mei was no naive little girl. The other party's identity was special, and the call must have something important to say.

Xu Qi stopped and kissed Mei on the lips, marveling at the girl's thoughtfulness.

She truly is a virtuous and capable wife...

As soon as the call connected, Shiyu Qiluo said on the other end, "Why did it take you so long to answer? You weren't exercising so early in the morning, were you?"

……

Byd Xu Qi should have just hung up on her!

"How could that be? I was just brushing my teeth and washing my face. When Miss Shigure called me, I was sure I would finish rinsing my mouth and come to answer the phone right away."

They lie without even blushing.

Mei tidied her messy long hair and wiped away some sweat from her forehead.

I have to say, it felt good, but you have to take a shower afterwards, otherwise you feel sticky and smelly, which is really uncomfortable... I mean, sweat!

"Stop with the fancy words, um... are you free later?"

"Huh? What's up? You want to ask me out?"

Upon hearing this, Mei got excited. "Oh ho! ~~You little vixen dares to seduce my man right in front of me?"

At the same time, Mei realized something: it seemed like they hadn't finished their "serious business" yet? Mei pressed her stomach and suddenly widened her eyes! She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

That damn guy... I can actually feel it when I press down on him!

That's outrageous!

But as Mei was pressing, Xu Qi's expression suddenly became strange.

This... Mei's already felt tight and comfortable enough inside—my little darling, this can't be too much...

On the other end of the phone, Shiyu Qiluo stammered for a long time before finally speaking.

"It's...it's a personal matter."

"Personal matters?"

Private matter!?

Mei's expression darkened further; this was simply outrageous! Mei narrowed her eyes—Xu Qi, you can't move now, right? Fine…

Mei braced herself on the bed with both hands and, to Xu Qi's astonishment, slowly sat up.

Xu Qi gasped and quickly changed to a cross-legged sitting position, holding Mei in his arms.

"Huh? Hello? What's wrong on your end? I heard you suddenly hiss, what's wrong?"

What are you doing? You're messing with Mei!

Of course, Xu Qi couldn't say that.

As expected... Mei's inner little witch personality was brought out again.

She gave Xu Qi a wicked look. "Can't move, huh? It's okay... I can move myself."
