We moved to Golden Courtyard

When Xu Qi saw Mei off, the Golden Courtyard was very quiet. Usually, people were either shopping or playing games.

Only Aponia came out and accompanied Xu Qi to see Teacher Mei off.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Mei."

"It's alright, little Greta is very well-behaved, and I like her very much... I just don't know, Mr. Xu Qi, whether you are satisfied with me as your instructor?"

Xu Qi smiled helplessly—he always felt that Mei liked to target him.

"I wish Miss Mei could come more often."

"Mr. Xu Qi, you're too kind. I'll be taking my leave now."

"Aren't you going to stay for dinner?"

"No... Oh right, let's save the tutoring time for after dinner from now on. Little Gretchen has been dozing off for a while this afternoon, I think she probably has a habit of taking a nap?"

Aponia nodded.

"Yes, Teacher Mei, I understand. Starting tomorrow, we'll change it to after 6 p.m., so my child can play for a while after class and then go to bed."

"Okay. Also, don't let her play too wildly at noon, let her sleep more so she has enough energy for the evening."

"Okay, Teacher Mei."

……

Watching the other person drive away, Xu Qi couldn't help but pull Sister Nia into his arms, kiss the nun on the forehead, and say, "Thank you for your hard work today, Sister Nia."

"It wasn't hard work, I wasn't much of a help..."

“It’s okay. I think… I might have been a little too wary of Mei.”

Aponia smiled as she saw that Xu Qi's gaze was still fixed on the direction the other person had gone.

"It seems that the resemblance between her and Miss Mei is not just physical."

Xu Qi was taken aback.

"Counting the time we've spent together seriously, it's only been today, but it has already left a very deep impression on you. If you were just a beautiful woman, you couldn't have done this."

Xu Qi gave a wry smile.

He naturally understood what Sister Nia meant—perhaps…

······

After dinner, Xu Qi was about to go back to his room to rest when he saw Bronya return from get off work.

"Xu Qi, have you checked your salary?"

"Huh? No?"

"Don't your phone notify you when money is deposited into your bank account?"

"Um... I've never turned this feature on."

"Then take a look quickly."

Xu Qi opened his phone, and seeing Bronya's mysterious expression, the others gathered around Xu Qi, wanting to see how much money had been invested.

Xu Qi didn't hide anything and opened his account in front of everyone, and the payslip showed - 500,000!

Ok?

Xu Qi rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while.

Yes, it is indeed 500,000.

what?

This is just a National Day bonus!

And wait a minute... isn't my annual salary as a manager only three or four hundred thousand?

"That annual salary refers to the sum of your monthly salaries. Here, bonuses are calculated separately. If your National Day bonus is this much, you can look forward to your year-end bonus."

"Uh, no, wait a minute, huh?"

At the same time, Kevin also gasped – “Cool…”

Five hundred thousand... Even Su couldn't help but gasp—as a top surgeon in Shanghai, his National Day bonus wasn't even that high.

Perhaps only Eden, present at the scene, held a slightly different view.

Hmm... 500,000...

Is this a bit too little as pocket money?

Bronya raised an eyebrow at Xu Qi.

"See? I told you I'd give you a bonus increase, I wasn't kidding, was I?"

"Supervisor, you're so cool..."

"But because of you, my National Day holiday is basically ruined. Restoring the former glory of the Alahato IP is now the most important task for ETStudio."

"Alahato Seed, now everyone in the company sees the potential impact this anime could have—it might even be a phenomenon."

"Do I need to go back to the company?"

"No need, I'll keep an eye on things. You just enjoy your National Day holiday."

Xu Qi glanced at Bronya but didn't say anything more—there was no need for thanks between him and Bronya; he would make it up to her properly in the future.

The 500,000 yuan National Day bonus brought a slight ripple to Golden Courtyard, but that was all.

After all, it seems like the people living here don't really care about money.

Sitting on his bed that night, Xu Qi picked up his tablet and glanced at the current level of discussion surrounding Seed.

Just as Qian Chen said, the second round of publicity will not be as explosive as a PV, but will subtly and continuously stir up discussion about Seed.

This helps maintain the heat.

The results are very encouraging... Let's wait and see in another two or three days. If the popularity can be maintained, then it means that Seed might really become a hit.

"What are you looking at?"

Mei, who had just taken a shower, smelled wonderful. As soon as she crawled into bed, she couldn't help but hug Xu Qi. Holding her soft, fragrant body felt comfortable for Mei, and for Xu Qi as well.

Honestly, people like them are truly husband and wife.

"It would be even better if I could have a child," Mei often thought.

"Let's see how popular Seed is these days."

"You're still working even though it's a holiday? Didn't Bronya just say you should take a good rest?"

"I'll just take a look, I'll just take a look."

Xu Qi tossed the tablet aside. He knew he had neglected the girls for a while, so he didn't say anything about being exploited by the eight of them last night.

What goes around comes around...

Fortunately, I'm in good health. I only felt soreness in my lower back and legs when I first woke up. I treated Su in the morning and also ate the medicinal food prepared by Brother Jie. I felt much better in the afternoon.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt something for Mei just by seeing her at Gretchen's place.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He hugged Mei tighter in his arms, and at the same time, he slipped one hand under Mei's armpit and touched the soft, tender heart that had left him with such fond memories that afternoon.

She was still wearing a light purple gauze nightgown. When Mei saw Xu Qi so quickly touching her, she couldn't help but laugh and cry, saying, "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I drain you dry last night?"

"Oh, my dear wife, don't even mention it. You were so irresistible this afternoon. Come on, let me get intimate with you."

Afternoon? What afternoon?

But as Xu Qi spoke, kisses rained down on her. Mei couldn't resist Xu Qi, and soon her desire rose within her, so she stopped thinking about it.

While Xu Qi's lips lingered on her chest, Mei pouted, pressed Xu Qi's head down, and said, "Am I prettier, or is that Dr. Mei prettier?"

"It must be you, my dear Mei! She wanted to get close to me this afternoon, but I refused!"

"What!?"

"I refused! I really refused! Möbius has a video of it!"

Mei curled the corners of her lips and touched Xu Qi's fawning lips.

"You're smart to come in... Come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Ouch! You!...You bad person, be gentle..."

Lying on top of Mei, Xu Qi immediately started moving around, but there was one thing that puzzled him—it seemed that compared to that afternoon… Mei’s figure was slimmer and more toned.

464. This is a golden courtyard, not a den of dragons and tigers.

While Xu Qi and Mei were engaged in some wonderful baby-making activities, Dr. Möbius was watching the video recording of Gretchen's room that afternoon with amusement on his face.

"What's wrong? Why are you coming to see me so late?"

Eden's voice came from inside Möbius's room.

The alluring woman, as captivating as a snake, glanced at Eden and turned the computer around to show her.

"So... you called me late at night just to let me watch Xu Qi and Mei's intimate video from earlier in the day? And why is Greta here too?"

"Heh...that's good. So you also mistook this woman for Mei at first glance, right?"

Upon hearing Mebius's words, Eden paused for a moment, then his mouth slightly opened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Mei!?"

“We have always had a collaboration with the Earth Network, and we have also had many contacts with Professor Mei, who is very similar to Mei.”

Möbius pointed to a design drawing behind her.

"Even the Moonlight System was given to us by her. At first, we thought it was just a resemblance, but today I saw her pretending to be Mei and being intimate with Xu Qi..."

Suddenly things started to get interesting. We were both familiar with Mei and Mei's personalities, but even so, we all made the wrong judgment after seeing this video.

Eden, I think you know what this means…

Eden's silence is not a crowdfunding group. Group 456127940 words.

She squinted and watched the video again.

Eden was even more surprised that even after knowing the person in the video was Mei, she still felt that it was Mei, and no one else.

"Does Gretchen know?"

“I asked her, but the little one denied it to the death, but I know she figured it out a long time ago.”

Eden breathed a sigh of relief—since Gretchen could tell the difference, it meant that they were indeed two people, not clones or replicas.

"I later asked Aponia, and she told me that Dr. Mei's fate seemed to appear out of thin air, without a beginning in this long river of time."

Mebius tapped the table lightly.

“I suspect this involves quantum science, but unfortunately, neither Virvie nor I are experts in this area.”

Eden understood why the other party had come to see him today.

She smiled.

"That's quite a coincidence. I do know someone who, apart from Mei, is also a master in the field of quantum mechanics."

"Really? How amazing is it?"

"She and Dr. Mei are like Heisenberg and Oppenheimer."

Understood.

“But there’s a problem.” Eden tilted his head, looking at Möbius. “Why should I introduce her to you? And why should she analyze this matter?”

You mean this...? Mebius casually fiddled with a strand of his long green hair.

To be honest, when she was watching the video just now, for the first time she felt disgusted by her own long hair color, which she was so proud of—what the hell are you green?

"Your younger brother has inexplicably won the favor of a proud quantum science expert, and... we've only known each other for a few days, yet he's already throwing himself at you and getting intimate."

Most importantly, the other party's identity is somewhat dangerous... Eden, this isn't about satisfying my curiosity, but... for your precious little brother."

……

Eden took a deep breath—"Okay, I agree."
