We moved to Golden Courtyard

“How could that be?” Xu Qi smiled. “The central control room of the Golden Courtyard, Professor, I need you there to monitor the overall situation.”

Mebius was about to smile, but Xu Qi's next words made her stop smiling.

"Prepare V2V armor when necessary."

……

Mei frowned subconsciously. V2V, what is that?

Mebius and Vervière's faces darkened simultaneously. They looked at Xu Qi, and finally the professor slowly spoke: "You're dreaming."

“Professor.” This time, Xu Qi did not avoid the question. He raised his head and looked directly into Möbius’s eyes, saying, “Please… I cannot stand by and watch all this happen!”

……

"Do whatever you want! I don't care if you die!"

After leaving those words, Möbius left the conference room, the door closing heavily as she went—it was clear she was in a bad mood.

Inside the meeting room, everyone looked at each other, and finally all their eyes were drawn to Xu Qi.

and so……

What is V2V?

Mei voiced what everyone was thinking.

"It's an exoskeleton armor that I developed. The first generation was called ν, and the second generation was called ν2." Velvi's face was also terrible, but she didn't have as bad a temper as Mebius.

"The third generation, V2V, is a high-output exoskeleton armor that Mebius and I developed together. Theoretically, the acceleration that its pilot needs to withstand may reach a limit of 15G, or even higher..."

Mei's face turned deathly pale instantly! 15 GB... Is this something the human body can handle?!

“It’s okay.” Xu Qi said expressionlessly, “I’m very confident that I can handle V2V now.”

"No! I don't agree!"

25. This is something that must be taken responsibility for, Xu Qi.

Inside the meeting room, Mei grabbed Xu Qi's arm!

A few tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. This time, Mei spoke with great determination!

"You almost ended up in the hospital last time, what about this time?! Can't you think about yourself a little more?! Just think of it as... for my sake, okay?"

……

If Xu Qi could still look directly at Mebius without backing down, then he could still do so.

But when facing Mei... Xu Qi couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze no matter what.

He could only lower his head silently, take a deep breath, and slowly say, "I understand. I will absolutely not wear that armor unless absolutely necessary."

Mei was about to say something more when she was stopped by Alicia.

The two women locked eyes, and Mei understood...

Now that Xu Qi has made preparations, perhaps no one can stop him.

The fact that he said that is already a huge concession.

Xu Qi grasped Mei's hand. Although he still dared not meet her gaze, Xu Qi said, "Trust me... okay? Even for you, I will never do anything reckless."

······

Xu Qi and Mei drove to Xia Ya's residence.

He naturally drove Eden's car again; there were a bunch of them parked in the underground garage of Golden Courtyard anyway, and Xu Qi always drove whichever car he wanted.

On the way, Mei sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window, and remained silent the entire time.

It's clear the girl is very angry.

But Xu Qi didn't have any good solutions either—after all, the reason Mei was angry was ultimately because she cared about Xu Qi...

Xia's residence is very close to the Jiuting Base, located in a nearby villa area. It only takes him twenty minutes to drive to work in the morning.

To be honest, this was Xu Qi's first time visiting this place; he had only known about it before.

Unexpectedly, my first visit was to stop them from carrying out a terrorist attack...

What an outrageous reason.

The car stopped, and Mei was still sitting in the passenger seat. Xu Qi thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Mei, Mei?"

Mei ignored him and tried to open the car door on her own—of course she failed, Xu Qi was controlling the passenger door, how could she let her open it?

"what?"

"Look at me, okay?"

……

After hesitating for a moment, still angry, Mei turned to face Xu Qi. She wanted to see what Xu Qi was going to say...

"Well!"

Xu Qi forcefully pulled the girl's shoulder and kissed Mei's full lips.

The moment their lips met, Mei felt her mind go completely blank. And Xu Qi felt the same way…

After a moment of stunned silence, Mei began to struggle! But her struggles were weak, as if she herself was hesitant about whether to push the other person away or continue.

How could Xu Qi allow such a thing to happen?

After realizing what had happened, Xu Qi, though surprised by his own boldness, still reached out and put his other hand around the girl's slender waist.

The car interior was already cramped, and after a brief struggle, Mei realized she couldn't resist and succumbed to it...

I was forcibly kissed...

And it was my first kiss...

But the object of his affections is Xu Qi...

Hehe...

The sweet taste made them lose themselves in their simple kiss, completely forgetting where they were and everything that had happened before.

Mei was deeply moved by Xu Qi's complete immersion in the moment, and her hands gradually moved to Xu Qi's body, embracing him.

The two kissed passionately inside the car, neither wanting it to end...

But they seemed to have overlooked something important—the central control console of the Golden Court. Mebius, who was grumbling, opened a bag of potato chips, intending to soothe his wounded heart.

Then... she witnessed a scene that would shock her for ten thousand years...

The potato chips fell from my hand to the ground, and suddenly—they didn't taste so good anymore…

Those damned couple... showing off their love right in front of me...

Waaaaah! Have you ever considered how a 30-year-old single woman feels? You guys are inhuman!

……

For a long time, the lips are divided.

They opened their eyes almost simultaneously and saw each other's slightly flushed cheeks.

Mei pursed her lips, seemingly still savoring the feeling from just now. Xu Qi, on the other hand, felt a wave of fear – he didn't know why, it was just an impulse.

He didn't want Mei to stay angry with him like this, so... he kissed her.

Although it seems illogical, men sometimes do not need logic.

Fortunately... judging from Mei's expression, she seems to be accepting it, and things haven't gotten any worse.

"You..." Mei blushed, glared at Xu Qi, and immediately punched him in the chest after releasing him. A bit hard—it seemed the girl still minded.

"Do you know that this was my first kiss?"

"Ah."

"you!……"

"Mei!"

With his hands on Mei's shoulders, Xu Qi said earnestly, "I like you! No... I love you!"

……

In the central control room, Mebius grabbed another bottle of cola, replaced the potato chips in her hand with popcorn, and with her deadpan eyes and legs crossed, she watched this third-rate romantic movie unfold before her.

Damn it... but it's so damn sweet, you bastard.

……

"That's...that's too unfair...saying this at a time like this..."

"I'm just afraid that maybe after today, it will be too late to express my feelings."

Mei's face turned deathly pale again.

She grabbed Xu Qi by the collar, suppressing her anger, and said, "What do you want to do?! I won't allow it... I won't allow you to die!"

Xu Qi sighed.

Just when Mei thought she had successfully stopped the other person's dangerous idea...

"Well!"

The second kiss was noticeably more skillful than the first.

For both of them, who were kissing for the first time, their awkward kissing skills were enough to make them feel sweet and happy.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

This time, Mei understood.

"So you're planning to kiss me until I say yes if I don't, right?"

"Mm." Xu Qi nodded straightforwardly.

"You!..." Faced with this blunt approach, Mei was both amused and exasperated. How did she end up with such a... boyfriend...?

"I know it's selfish to do this, but Mei... now that I know the whole story, this is the responsibility I must bear! I will not stand idly by and watch this happen, absolutely not!"

……

Mei reached out and touched Xu Qi's chest. In her eyes, there was both the happiness of finally becoming lovers with the one she loved, and a trace of sadness.

"Where are you being selfish...? The selfish one is me..."

Mei took a deep breath.

"Promise me! Absolutely!... You absolutely must live! Okay?"

"Yes, of course I agree, Mei."

As if that wasn't enough, Xu Qi suddenly leaned close to Mei's ear and whispered, "If I survive, can I be rewarded with a touch..."

……

"Go to hell! Xu Qi! Get off the car right now!"

26. My name is Raven, not Natasha Ciola.

"Ding-dong!~~Ding-dong!~~"

Xu Qi and Mei stood outside the villa's gate, ringing the doorbell repeatedly, but no one came out to open the door.

"No way...is she asleep?"

For Mei, she certainly hoped that Char was inside the villa, which might mean that the plan hadn't even started yet, and they still had a chance to end it before any accidents happened.

however……

No, there was no sign of anyone coming out to open the door from inside the villa; it was as if it were a dead house.

"Not here?"

With a deep sense of disappointment, Mei sighed softly—the first step of the plan had already felt so terrible.

Xu Qi didn't seem to be surprised by this.
