We moved to Golden Courtyard

As the girl's slender yet powerful waist swayed, moving her body up and down, Xu Qi let out another "Hiss!" sound! When... when did Mei learn this move?

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing..." Xu Qi said with difficulty, "I accidentally bumped my foot on the table."

Shigure Kira imagined it for a moment—Holy crap, that would hurt!

"Oh, be careful. So, are you free today or not?"

Mei stretched her body and looked at Xu Qi with a smile, but that smile seemed to have some ill intentions.

She mouthed "I'm busy."

"Tell me what the personal matter is, I might have some other things to take care of."

Mei was very satisfied, so... she twisted even more energetically!

hastily!

"It's nothing really. I received the news... I succeeded, right?"

Xu Qi was stunned for a moment, while Mei rolled her eyes—damn it, how is this about work! Damn it, that bastard Xu Qi can get into work mode no matter the situation.

Sure enough, no matter how Mei twisted and turned, he could tolerate it without changing his expression.

"I understand. You want to ask about the character Lux Klein, right?"

"Um……"

"Okay, where are you now?"

"Songjiang University Town, actually, they're still students..."

Mei was taken aback—what does "byd" mean? Could it be my senior?

"I understand. There's a Zhongshuge bookstore in Phase 4 of the apartment complex. Wait about two hours before heading out, and we'll talk there."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qi squinted at Mei.

"You were having a lot of fun just now, weren't you?"

Mei... Mei scratched her head with a silly grin—Oh no, it's all Pado's fault, she's been corrupted by her and is always thinking about courting death.

"Hehehe...Eh!? Xu Qi, wait, no! Ugh!...Waaah...Too...too fast..."

Clearly, Mei's morning, at least today, will seem exceptionally long.

241. Aponia is about to begin her prayers.

In the morning, although Xu Qi had pinned her down on the bed and made love to her, Mei was still full of energy after taking a shower.

Speaking of which, it's a bit strange that Mei always says it really gives off a warm and cozy feeling.

You must be joking... Xu Qi knows to some extent that novels are novels and reality is reality.

The temperature of that liquid is basically the same as your body temperature. Even if you have a fever, you can't make it hot. So how could Mei feel warm?

At first, I thought Mei was just joking, saying something like "You're so great" to comfort me.

Oh, so "You're so great" doesn't seem to be used to comfort Xu Qi. Usually, they're expressing their true feelings, which often ends up as—"I'm dying..."

But later Xu Qi discovered... it seems to be true.

Regardless of how it was discovered, Xu Qi plans to have the professor do another thorough test after she finishes her current busy schedule.

And didn't she collect a bunch of her own bodily fluids last time? I wonder what she figured out from that research.

"So you're planning to come with me?"

"It's been a while since I've been back to school, so what? Is that not allowed?"

In front of the mirror, Mei dressed up specially, tying her long purple hair into a ponytail at the back of her head, and changing into a beige uniform dress.

A necklace adorned her swan-like, snow-white, and elegant neck, with a dazzling ruby ​​set in its pendant, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

Mei was still not satisfied until she changed into black stockings, and then it felt just right.

"Oh? Mei? What are you doing dressed up so nicely?"

"To prevent someone from having an affair."

As for who that person is, those who know, know. Alicia smiled and hugged Mei from behind, saying to Xu Qi beside her, "Then we really need to keep a close eye on them."

Xu Qi rolled his eyes—was it necessary? He was going to work…

"Is Xu Qi going out?"

Aponia slowly walked down the stairs. Xu Qi looked up and saw that the eternally merciful nun had changed into her rather distinctive nun's habit.

Every time I see Xu Qi, I feel that Aponia, dressed like this, is truly as holy and dazzling as an angel. But... Xu Qi can't help but think of the time in Guangcheng when he enjoyed Aponia's lap pillow.

He knew all too well what kind of body, capable of driving people mad, lay beneath that sacred exterior.

"Is Sister Nia going to church?"

"Um, could you give me a ride?" Xu Qi.

"Of course, but why today..."

Kevin, who rarely stays home on the weekend, came out to find some snacks. Hearing Xu Qi's question, he couldn't help but say, "Have you forgotten? Xu Qi, there was a choir performance today."

Xu Qi was startled. He slapped his forehead in frustration and said, "My... I completely forgot, Sister Nia, I'm so sorry, I..."

No matter when, Aponia's gaze toward Xu Qi was always so peaceful.

She shook her head and said, "No need to blame yourself, Xu Qi. Everyone knows you've been very busy with work lately."

But that's just an excuse...

Xu Qi has always believed that no matter how busy you are with work, you should always care about the people around you.

Perhaps it's because, in my childhood memories, my parents were always busy working and had no time to take care of me, which left me with this lingering impression...

"Sister Nia, what time do the singing sessions usually end?"

Aponia tilted her head and then said, "Around three or four in the afternoon, since everyone will be going home for dinner after this time."

"Understood. I'll come back to pick you up after I see Miss Shigure."

Aponia was taken aback.

"Does this mean you've come to hear the choir sing?"

"I'll definitely go if I can make it."

Aponia clasped her hands together and smiled. At that moment, everyone who saw this scene felt as if a holy light was emerging behind Aponia...

Kevin suddenly patted Xu Qi on the shoulder.

"Xu Qi..."

"Ok?"

“I’ve heard that Aponia displays such a form when she’s extremely happy, so you mustn’t let her down today.”

Xu Qi was stunned. A Dharma image?! Kevin, you've been reading too many fantasy novels!

But it must be said that Aponia, who was already holy enough, truly seemed like God descending to earth at this moment, except... Aponia's master did not seem to be God.

Or perhaps... no one knows who the Lord whom Aponia prayed to was.

······

Around 11 o'clock, Shi Yu Qi Luo arrived at the bookstore as promised.

I ordered a coffee and found a seat by the window.

Zhongshuge in Phase 4, though called a bookstore, is actually a quiet place for studying or working, and the admission ticket is a cup of Americano for a little over 20 yuan in your hand.

Shigure Kira certainly knew this godforsaken place. If you came here looking for books, the staff wouldn't bother you, but if you sat down to read or opened your laptop...

The shop assistant will come up to you from time to time and say something.

"Sir, you'd like to sit here to buy a cup of coffee."

A rather unpleasant way of doing business.

But... I have to say, the store's environment is indeed quite nice. For college students with a monthly allowance of over 2000 yuan, coming here occasionally to spend money is not a bad option.

This place is perfect for enjoying a quiet time to study as final exams approach.

"I hope I haven't kept you waiting long, Miss Shigure."

Shi Yuqi, who was holding her coffee and lost in thought, was startled. She looked over and saw Xu Qi and Mei walking towards her.

Once the two were seated, Shigure Kira smiled and said, "I thought you were the only one who came... It's been a long time, Mei-san."

It has indeed been a long time since we last met.

Mei nodded. As a student at East China University of Political Science and Law, she had naturally heard of this bookstore, which had received mixed reviews, since her dormitory was in the fourth phase of the apartment building.

Mei nodded, which was her way of responding to Shigure Kira's greeting.

He then ordered two coffees and sat quietly next to Xu Qi without saying a word.

"I didn't expect you to choose this place as our meeting location."

Looking at the peaceful street outside the window, Xu Qi felt a little dazed for a moment.

This is normal. It's only the end of July. Apart from those who are working part-time, no students would stay until now during the summer vacation.

Are you reminiscing about your college days?

"Pretty much... I used to come here often. The service is pretty bad, but it's really quiet and the atmosphere is great."

"You're quite nostalgic."

……

"Let's get back to business." Xu Qi's gaze shifted from the window to Shi Yu Qi Luo.

For some reason, when Xu Qi focused his attention on her, Shi Yu Qi Luo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xu Qi is now increasingly resembling a true leader.

"Ms. Shiyu, first of all, I want to know if you invited me out as Xu Qi's friend, or simply as a voice actress."

242. Shiyu Qiluo, we do not offer pillow services!

"Of course, as a voice actor!"

Shigure Kira said firmly.

"Then you can treat me to coffee later."

……

Although this was in accordance with normal procedures, Shigure Kira couldn't help but droop her face—did this man have to be so stingy?

"Then, Miss Shigure..."

"Just call me Shigure."

"Alright, Shigure, you should have received the notification by now, right? To be honest, we're going to sign a contract with your agency next Monday, which means... your voice acting for Lux is basically a done deal."

Shi Yu Qi Luo nodded.

“I know that.”

"Then why? Oh, well, to be precise, I was actually planning to talk to you that day, but then I got a lot of things to do and forgot."

Shiyu Qiluo rolled her eyes—So you do know that.

"I... want to know a reason."

"Ok?"

"To be honest, I still feel like it's a dream. Because on the audition list, I saw quite a few well-known seniors in the industry."

To be honest, at first I thought... I was just there to make up the numbers. After all, Miss Jiang was there too, wasn't she? I thought she would be chosen.

……

Xu Qi and Mei exchanged a glance. Xu Qi had, of course, told Mei about Miss Jiang—during a tender moment afterward, when Alicia was also present.
