Rin tightly covered her flushed cheeks, forcing herself not to think about these inexplicable things anymore.

You! ...How could you do this, Rin...That's your brother-in-law!

"No, not with my brother-in-law... absolutely not!"

Thinking this, Rin clenched her fist firmly and began to encourage herself—that's right! That's her brother-in-law! He's her sister's happiness!

What I should do is help my sister keep her husband in the relationship, that's all!

Yae Rin! You need to adjust your mindset!

……

But it's still so embarrassing!

Rin tossed and turned in bed, barely managing to suppress the turmoil in her heart. Everything that had happened today had been quite stimulating for her, and had taken a lot of her energy.

And the girl gradually drifted off to sleep...

······

"Brother-in-law..."

"What's wrong, Rin?"

In the night sky, on the Ferris wheel, Lin looked down at the lights and figures below, each one so tiny. Beside her, Xu Qi smiled, his gentle and refined demeanor like jade.

He put one arm around Rin's slender waist and watched the sights with her.

"Brother-in-law, the view from the Ferris wheel is so interesting! I feel like I've become a giant, hehe~~"

"Really? If Rin likes it, we can sit there again."

Moved, Lin turned around and slumped into Xu Qi's arms, her petite body limp. Her eyes were moist, filled with the unique feelings and emotions of a young girl.

"Brother-in-law, you're so good to me..."

"Because it's Rin."

"Ugh~~ Brother-in-law is so annoying~~"

She said it, but she couldn't help looking at the man who was holding her in his arms.

"Brother-in-law..."

"cold……"

Their loving gazes drew closer, and their lips met...

"Ring ring ring!!"

The alarm clock rang loudly, and a slender, jade-like arm emerged from under the covers to turn it off.

Rin groggily sat up, a silly smile still unconsciously lingering on her lips, a smile she had before waking up.

"Brother-in-law...hehe..."

······

Around 9 a.m., Xu Qi's biological clock automatically woke her up from her sleep.

He groggily tried to get up, only to find Mei still fast asleep on top of him. And around him... good, all the girls who were here last night were still there.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough to accommodate their various sleeping positions.

He gently turned Mei over and saw that all the girls had fallen asleep without blankets, and he could now see everything about them, both what he should and shouldn't see.

But... Xu Qi felt nothing at all; he thought he had probably already become a saint.

He shook his head, dismissing these chaotic thoughts.

Fortunately, Shanghai was still quite hot at the beginning of October, but Xu Qi still found a few blankets to cover the girls before slowly walking out of the room—leaning against the wall for support.

I don't know if this counts... Xu Qi is not truly invincible; there is still the Golden Court in the world.

With one hand supporting her back and the other holding the ladder, Xu Qi shakily descended the stairs and met Su.

Good morning, doctor.

Su still had that squinty expression. Seeing Xu Qi's pale face, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You last night..."

"Doctor, let's not talk about this and we can still be friends."

“In your condition, relying solely on Möbius is no longer enough. I have learned many remedies from the ancient books of Mount Taixu, and I will help you with some treatments later.”

"Thank you, my dear dad."

"?"

455. Gretchen, come into my arms.

Xu Qi, supporting his back, sat down at the dining table and asked Brother Jie for a basket of steamed buns.

Every morning, besides Mei preparing breakfast and lunch separately for Xu Qi, Jie Ge also prepares breakfast for everyone without fail.

He's a great family man... just a bit short-tempered.

As Xu Qi sighed, he glanced at Kevin and Su, who had also gotten up late that morning.

One of them ordered a glass of milk, and the other ordered a glass of tea.

"Hey... how come you guys overslept like me?"

Su calmly took a sip of tea and pointed to Kevin beside him—"Ask him, he dragged me to play Battlefield all night last night, and it turned out to be all cheats."

You two really have a good relationship...

"and then?"

Kevin put down his milk and answered Xu Qi's question very seriously.

“I hacked all those cheating computers by tracing their IP addresses, and I also found the source of the cheat! I sent their addresses to the cyber police.”

"what……"

Xu Qi put down his water glass and was about to speak when he saw Theresa and Himeko rushing to leave. He couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"what happened?"

Theresa said this as she swiped two steamed buns from in front of Xu Qi.

"Last night, the city's cyber police raided the hideout of a cybercriminal gang. After verification, it was found that the gang may also be related to the largest underground fraud gang in Shanghai."

The SWAT team needs to be deployed immediately to wipe out that gang! That's all for now, Xu Qi!

"Slow down! Be careful!"

……

Xu Qi squinted at Kevin and Su.

The two of them turned their heads to the left and right respectively, and simultaneously started whistling.

At that moment, Greta, rubbing her eyes and still wearing her nightgown, came downstairs while hugging her Hoomu doll and yawning.

Xu Qi turned his head, walked over, and picked up the little girl.

"Oh! Good morning, Gretchen. Why are you coming downstairs in your pajamas?"

"Good morning, Brother Xu Qi... Mom Aponia isn't here, and Sister Theresa left early this morning too. I couldn't find any clothes, so I just put on my pajamas and came downstairs."

Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?

In Xu Qi's arms, little Greta nodded very seriously.

"That's good. Come on! Sit down and eat."

He carried Gretchen to the dining table and placed her on his lap like a child.

In this way, Xu Qi hugged Grexiu, and Grexiu hugged Houmu, each with a pillow, completing the world where only Houmu was injured.

Mmm~~Gresh, it smells nice and is so soft.

Seeing this, Su couldn't help but laugh and said, "Gresh, you're already a middle school student, a big kid. Why are you still clinging to Brother Xu Qi like a child?"

Greta tilted her head.

"Really? But... I still feel like a child."

"Haha! That's right! Gretchen, don't listen to the doctor's nonsense, he's just teasing you. Come on, let's have breakfast."

Just then, Qianjie brought over two bowls of sweet soy milk and a plate of pan-fried buns.

"Hey kid, control yourself a bit. Want me to get you a chive pancake?"

"No need, no need... Hey? Brother Jie, who hasn't had breakfast yet?"

"Your woman."

Xu Qi grinned and scratched his head—he really couldn't hold it in any longer...

"By the way, Xu Qi, did you check your phone this morning?"

"Ok?"

"Take a look at Weibo."

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow, as if he remembered something, and quickly opened his phone to take a look!

The number one trending topic – the first PV for "Alahatto Seed"!

Second on the trending search list – Gold Group publicly announces its second round of cooperation with ETStudio!

Third on the trending topics list: ETStudio reboots the Alahatto IP universe!

"It's dominating the charts, all about Alahato Seed. Go check the view count on Bilibili."

Seven million...

One night! Seven million!

The data is still skyrocketing!

It will likely break ten million by noon!

This is just the number of views on Bilibili, a mainstream media platform. If we also include the TV ratings from last night... it's a huge exposure!

Xu Qi then searched for related posts.

One night, Alahatto's fans went wild! This was a completely new chapter, entirely different from the UC world! Most importantly... he's handsome!

Some people were cursing, while others were getting excited.

The most discussed item is the blue and white Alahato—Strike—that stands up from the flames in the PV!

Unlike the square and angular mecha aesthetics of the UC series Arahanto, the mecha designs of the Seed series Arahanto appear more slender and gorgeous.

This is something that some people like, and some people don't.

It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of people disliking me. The only thing Xu Qi is afraid of is not being able to get any discussion going.

Controversy is what generates buzz.

As long as it's not overwhelmingly negative publicity, it's a good thing!

Ideally, both sides could argue fiercely online, and the more heated their argument, the more excited Xu Qi would become.

Oh wait... this wasn't Xu Qi's doing.

Just as I was thinking this, speak of the devil, and he arrives.

My phone suddenly rang. I glanced at the caller ID—Qian Chen.

Xu Qi picked up Gretchen and put her back on the stool. He patted the little girl's head and gestured for her to go outside to answer a phone call.

Greta was very understanding and kissed Xu Qi on the cheek, saying sweetly, "Go for it! Brother Xu Qi, the first phone call after Mid-Autumn Festival will definitely be good news!"

Xu Qi was overjoyed – Of course!

"Hey, Director Qian, why are you calling me so early?"

"Good morning? I specifically calculated that you'd sleep in late today, so I called you at this exact time! How's it going? Did you see the data?"

"I saw it."

"What did you see! Hahahaha! The real data is right here with me! In one night... in just one night! You've achieved the goal you set with the CEO!"
