We moved to Golden Courtyard

Mebius could sense that Xu Qi had been very sad since earlier—was there really anyone in this world who felt sorry for her, Mebius?

Yes, that's right... So even I... am willing to believe that this world is actually quite beautiful.

"There are still some, and... there are two."

"Two?" Xu Qi looked up in confusion. "Who are they?"

“One of them is already lying down,” Möbius said, glancing at Klein’s tombstone. “And the other one—is standing right in front of me.”

Xu Qi's mouth was half open, but he couldn't speak.

“I’m actually very lucky. I used to hate my mother and wonder why she brought me into such a dirty, rotten, and disgusting world.”

But nowadays... I am even more grateful to my mother, whom I have never met, for bringing me into this world.

Because if it weren't for her, how would I have met my Klein? And... my Xu Qi.

"Snake..."

Mebius was both amused and exasperated. "Is it really okay to call me by my nickname at this time?"

Xu Qi couldn't help but pull Mebius into his arms again.

A wet tear smeared onto Möbius's cheek, and Möbius was startled—so, there were still people who would cry for her…

476. Snake has gone too far on the road to marriage.

Holding Mebius's hand, I walked with her out of the cemetery.

In front of the cemetery is a park, where a stroll is both quiet and charming.

"In the end, they still didn't tell me about Klein's story."

"That's enough for today, let's do it another day."

“Hmm…” Xu Qi pondered for a moment before saying, “But didn’t you say that you would tell me everything about Möbius today only?”

Mebius paused in his steps.

Her face flushed slightly, and she said in a flustered voice, "I've changed my mind, is that not allowed?!"

Xu Qi's eyes were full of smiles—actually, today's gains were already great enough, as Mebius was willing to open up to him and tell him about her past experiences.

That's already a big step forward.

No rush, take your time. Once is never enough, and then there will be a third. What's with all this talk about "only today"? Xu Qi knows all too well how hypocritical the professor can be.

Ultimately, he remained a bit stubborn.

What are your plans for later?

"Arrangements?" Xu Qi shook his head. "There are no special arrangements. Today I just plan to follow Snake. Wherever Snake goes, I'll go."

A gentle breeze wafts through the camphor trees lining the road, their fragrance soothing the restlessness in one's heart.

"I was busy with work before National Day and didn't spend much time with you. As for myself... I also felt quite tired."

“Really?” Möbius’s eyes were mocking. “I think you’re enjoying it quite a bit.”

Xu Qi scratched his head.

"Well... I don't feel tired when I'm working, but it's different now that I'm free."

"You have the most reasons."

"I'm serious! Snake, you have to believe me..." As she spoke, she tried to snuggle into Möbius's arms, which startled the professor, who quickly pushed Xu Qi away.

With her face flushed, she said, "What do you want to do? Honestly, are you still a child? So prone to acting spoiled... We're still outside..."

But there was hardly anyone there...

Xu Qi smiled and kissed Mebius on the cheek.

"Tsk!"

The professor glanced at Xu Qi and suddenly sneered, "Looks like I've been too nice to you today, and my little guinea pig has gotten a bit carried away..."

Xu Qi shivered.

Seeing that Mebius had regained his usual eerie and dangerous demeanor, Xu Qi seemed to recall the fear he had once felt when he was dominated by the professor.

"Uh... Snake, what are you doing..."

He gently reached out and stroked Xu Qi's cheek, but as if remembering something, Möbius lightly tapped Xu Qi's chest and said, "Alright, I'll let you off the hook for today. I have things to do this afternoon, so you can go back first."

"Hmm? Oh, okay."

"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do?"

Xu Qi laughed.

"Professor, you can tell me if you want?"

"Do not want to."

Xu Qi pursed his lips, looking helpless, which made Möbius giggle.

"Alright, my little guinea pig, stop looking so gloomy... By the way, who's it tonight?"

"Um...it was supposed to be Sister Nia."

"Okay, I understand. I'll make it up to you tonight. You can go home now."

Xu Qi's expression was strange—"How do you plan to make it up to me?"

But he didn't dare ask any more questions. Seeing Mebius's mysterious expression, he figured he wouldn't get any answers even if he wanted to.

"Your sister Nia should be at church today. If you go there now, you might just catch her after the service."

"Professor, are you sure you're not trying to get rid of me?"

Mebius waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up and go, don't think I don't know you love to snuggle into your sister Nia's arms, right?"

He really is just a kid.

Xu Qi rubbed his hands together, then gave Mebius one last hug before turning and leaving.

Before leaving, he turned back several times, waved to Möbius, and said, "I'll be going now? Call me anytime if you need anything!"

"roll!"

Mebius was both amused and exasperated—had she found herself a husband or a son?

Seeing Xu Qi leave, the professor concealed the reluctance in his eyes and then took a deep breath.

She seemed a little nervous.

I clenched my fists—Xu Qi, it's not that I don't want to be with you, but what's going on this afternoon is more important…

······

"I'm telling you, you're so old, why are you still dressing up?"

Xu Youde, holding a newspaper, rolled his eyes as he looked at Lin Lai, who was dressed up in a flamboyant manner, and took a sip of goji berry tea from his thermos.

"What do you know? That new community doctor is so pretty. You don't know, last time I went out to buy groceries with her, oh my, she kept calling me 'Auntie,' it was so sweet."

"Oh, you mean the new girl, Xiao Mei..." Xu Youde was relieved to hear this.

"What? You knew about this too?"

"Last time I was strolling around the neighborhood doing some simple rehabilitation exercises, I happened to run into her. She helped me correct my movements a little, and then prescribed me a formula to nourish my Qi."

You know what, it really works! I can feel it, this leg... it's much better now!

"Don't give me that!" Lin Lai glared at Xu Youde.

"Huh? How do you know him? I heard from you that you even went grocery shopping together?"

"Oh, the neighborhood committee gave out those insect repellent products before. I went to the community clinic to pick them up and happened to see them there. Tsk tsk tsk! They told me a lot about women's skincare."

The explanation was very detailed and comprehensive, and after a few repetitions... I became familiar with it.

"Hmm, the girl is really nice. If it weren't for the brat's situation, I would have introduced them."

Lin Lai rolled her eyes.

“Your son is capable! He brought two wives home last time! One more won't make a difference, right? But then again, Xiaomei is beautiful and capable, she probably already has a boyfriend. We shouldn't worry about it.”

"Too."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Lin Lai's eyes lit up, and she hurried over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a tall woman in a white coat stood outside, with long, slightly wavy green hair that made her look exceptionally alluring and dazzling.

Her hair was like that of a melon seed, her teeth like pearls, her eyebrows like delicate moths. Her face was as red as a blooming lotus, her skin as smooth as solidified cream. Who else could it be but Möbius?

However, at this moment, Mebius had a gentle smile that Xu Qi could never have imagined. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Auntie, I'm here."

"Oh my! Xiaomei, you're here so early? Come in first, wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and then I'll leave."

With an unusually well-behaved demeanor, Möbius walked slowly into the house and saw Xu Youde sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He quickly said, "Oh? Hello, Uncle. So you're here too..."

"Xiaomei, hello, hello, please sit down. Your aunt is adjusting your clothes, come and tie them quickly."

Mebius sat down on the sofa shyly, while looking around the room with a hint of curiosity.

Is this... the place where Xu Qi lived when he was a child?

A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips—Mei and Airi had certainly made a good plan; once they met the parents, they wouldn't have to worry about marriage in the future.

But can you hide this from me?

Clearly, I'm now ahead... Möbius! Hold it in! Don't laugh!

Plans are in place!

477. Do you like the title "Teacher Mei"?

Dr. Mei visited again that evening.

However, the atmosphere tonight was a bit awkward, after all, Xu Qi couldn't forget that kiss from last night so quickly.

Moreover, Mei's performance today was the same as usual, which made him somewhat unsure of the other party's tactics.

So what exactly does that mean?

Is this a confession of love?

But no way...we haven't known each other for that many days...

It was strange, but Xu Qi didn't feel that the other person was frivolous. There was a strange and natural feeling between them, as if they had known each other for many years.

Nothing else happened tonight.

There was neither a heartfelt exchange nor any ambiguous little gestures.

It's as if everything has gone back to the beginning; Mei just came to teach Grey math.

Only after seeing Mei to the door did Xu Qi finally speak and ask, "Um... Teacher Mei."

"Ok?"

"last night……"

"I thought you could hold back all night and not ask."

Are you trying to whet my appetite? Don't sleep too soundly tonight.

Seeing Xu Qi's displeasure, Mei covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "I know you can't accept my feelings right now, so today, I'll just keep quiet."

Xu Qi's expression turned truly strange.

Do you know me a little too well?

"Don't look at me like that. I kissed you last night, and now you're looking at me like that... I'm a little shy."

Do you look even slightly shy?

But Xu Qi does fall for Mei's tactics, or rather... he falls for Mei's tactics.

At this moment, he could only smile wryly and say, "Teacher Mei, you said you'd teach me how to understand women's hearts, but it can't be... just teaching by example, can it?"
