We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Doesn't this just prove that my Mei is charming? All of this is my love for you."

"Alright, alright! I know how much you love me, let me rest a bit..."

Mei twisted her body, pouting and acting coquettishly towards Xu Qi.

How could Xu Qi possibly withstand this?

Of course, I agreed.

"You did well tonight. From now on... you'd better do this every day."

Xu Qi smiled wryly—was this really going to kill him with exhaustion?

But I must say... thinking back on everything that just happened, I still feel a burning sensation in my heart.

The thought of Mei writhing beneath him was like witnessing the most beautiful scenery in the world, an unforgettable experience.

Heaven has been so kind to me, Xu Qi, that it brought a girl like Mei into my life.

Just then, Mei couldn't help but snuggle closer to him and said, "Xu Qi, do you think... I might get pregnant after we did it so many times and you even went inside me every time?"

Xu Qi was taken aback, pursing his lips, unsure of what to say.

He knew how much Mei wanted to have his child, but... after so long without any results, anyone would get anxious.

You might even find yourself wondering... if there's something wrong with your body?

Xu Qi is also under a lot of pressure.

After all, it wasn't just Mei; there were so many girls in the courtyard, and apart from Rita, he hadn't taken any safety precautions.

But no one made a move for a long time.

Sometimes Xu Qi himself can't help but wonder... if it's his problem.

Seemingly sensing Xu Qi's thoughts, Mei raised her head, gently kissed Xu Qi, and comforted her, "It's okay, didn't you say yourself? These things can't be rushed."

It can't be rushed, but...

"If it doesn't work, let the professor check it again. I've heard that if you're in a bad mood or under too much pressure, it can lead to a loss of energy."

Xu Qi took a deep breath and returned Mei's kiss.

"Don't worry, things can't always go my way. Besides, if it doesn't work this time, there's always next time."

"Mmm." A gentle smile appeared on her face. At this moment, Mei herself probably didn't even realize how strong her maternal instincts were.

Xu Qi was deeply attracted to her. As soon as he stood up, he pulled Mei onto his lap while she was stunned.

"Huh? Xu Qi?"

"If once isn't enough, then do it a few more times."

Mei was both amused and exasperated.

"How can you be like this... Hey hey hey? Seriously, you can't have a baby, so you're going to be my baby? Ouch! Don't bite..."

The flowers on the temples of the cloud are shaking, and the hibiscus is warming the spring night.

It seems that Mei will have to continue to receive the blessings she receives tonight.

······

The long National Day holiday has come to an end.

Seed Studio is in a well-organized preparation phase.

The second PV will be released at the beginning of November, but this time, the pressure is much lighter.

After all, we already had the experience from the previous trip, and both the time spent and the amount of work completed were much greater.

Now, even the storyboard for episode 7 of Seed is complete and production has begun, so things are looking very promising. Plus, there's Sirin, whom Susana contacted earlier…

Although we initially contacted them to help create PV content, well... since your MH company doesn't have any work right now, it would be great if you could come to ETStudio for some training first.

So Xu Qi took the lead and signed a lease agreement with the other party to temporarily rent Ms. Xilin to ETStudio to help with the production of Alahato.

This is a first in the industry...

Moreover, the other party is an all-round talent. Seed Studio's concept art department has always been short of people, so Xu Qi invited the other party to serve as a concept artist.

As for salary, it is paid at the maximum salary for animation supervisor.

The reason why the other party was not appointed as the animation supervisor was simply because there were plenty of animation supervisors, and each of them possessed unique skills like Liu Qi and Xiao Yun.

The workstation was arranged next to Miss Seele.

When she heard that Sirin was coming, Miss Seele, who was ostensibly a genius concept artist but was actually a pilot of the Ground Network Armor, rushed straight to Xu Qi's office.

"Xu!...Manager Xu! I heard Miss Xilin is coming?"

Inside the office, Xu Qi was sitting on the sofa giving Rita instructions. When Seele barged in, he wasn't angry at all and smiled, "Oh yeah? What's wrong?"

"Still sitting next to me!?"

"Ah."

With stars in her eyes, Seele pounced on Xu Qi and hugged him amidst their somewhat surprised expressions.

Then she quickly stepped aside, looking slightly shy.

Even so, it couldn't hide her excitement at that moment.

Xu Qi snapped out of his daze and asked, "You know Miss Xilin?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm a big fan of hers!"

Xu Qi glanced at Rita, and the dedicated maid explained, "MH Company's headquarters used to be in Beijing, and Miss Xilin and Miss Xier were both renowned geniuses in the original art world."

However, Miss Celine was more versatile. There was even a saying at one point that Nancy and Celine were the two most talented women.

Seele pursed her lips, playfully swayed her dress, and said shyly, "No...it's not as exaggerated as Miss Rita said..."

Xu Qi smiled gently.

"Miss Sirin should be able to stay here for quite a while this time, so Miss Seele, I'll trouble you to take good care of her?"

"Yes! Don't worry about it, Mr. Xu Qi!"

491. Bronya is just like a pet, so cute!

Watching Miss Seele leave, Xu Qi turned to Rita and said, "Speaking of which, how's the storyboard for episode 10 coming along? Delta seemed to have been urging us to finish it early this morning."

After saying that, Xu Qi shook his head and chuckled.

"The National Day holiday has just ended, and he immediately got back to work. I can only say that he is indeed our production manager, with a very positive work attitude."

Rita was taken aback. She brought the freshly brewed black tea to Xu Qi, her eyes full of smiles.

"Manager, didn't you know? Just the day before yesterday, Delta recalled most of the studio's staff ahead of schedule. They said they wanted to make up for the backlog of work."

Now everyone knows that it was Manager Xu who used her charms to secure a large National Day bonus from President Bronya, so everyone is very enthusiastic.

Xu Qi looked completely taken aback.

"How come I didn't know about this?"

"I talked to you about this the night before last, when we were in bed."

Xu Qi squinted, then suddenly realized.

"I remember now, that night you wore see-through stockings, and lace..."

Before he could finish speaking, Rita interrupted him, blushing.

"You only remember these indecent things, right? I remember it very clearly. That day, you were carrying my legs on your shoulders when suddenly a phone call came in."

I was about to hang up, but you insisted I answer. That call was from Delta; she said she wanted to call everyone back to work the next day and asked what you and I thought about it.

"I saw you were busy and having a great time, and I also..." Rita said, her cheeks flushed, and continued under Xu Qi's amused gaze.

"I wanted to hang up the phone quickly too, and just say that she could make the decision... I thought you heard me!"

Xu Qi shrugged.

"You said it yourself? I was busy at the time, and those lace stockings of yours were really..."

The maid picked up a cookie from the table and stuffed it into Xu Qi's mouth.

"Stop talking!"

Xu Qi raised his hands in surrender.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Xu Qi was about to swallow the biscuit and finish it, intending to find something else to eat from Rita, the office door was rudely opened by Delta.

"Knock...knock! How many times do I have to say knock!"

Xu Qi stood up in a frenzy, making a pincer-like gesture with his hands, making everyone think that his next words would be—"If you're bad, then practice more."

Rita straightened her clothes, her pretty face flushed, and gave Delta a grateful look.

Otherwise… who knows what weird things my master might be planning to do in the office again? I'm just a weak maid… how can I possibly disobey my master…

Delta curled her lip.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining and come with me to find Bronya."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Episode 10! Storyboard! OK?"

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"So what happened to the storyboard for episode 10? Is there really a problem?"

After Xu Qi finished asking, he saw Delta nod with a gloomy expression. Just by looking at her face, he could tell that she seemed to have thought of something extremely terrible.

"It was like this when we were making the last Alahatto together. When we were in good form, the speed was incredible! But when we weren't in good form..."

At this point, Delta took two deep breaths to suppress the urge to explode inside.

Even Xu Qi felt a little uneasy.

What happens when you're not feeling well?

"They would hide and not draw storyboards, and then do some inexplicable things."

……

"Ah...ah this..." Xu Qi recalled the ten days of National Day. Wasn't Bronya quite normal when she was in the villa?

Wait a minute... If Delta started working the day before yesterday, then she must have been urging Bronya to finish the storyboards the day before yesterday.

And after all the urging, we still don't know where the progress is...

In the past two days, after finishing overtime at the company and getting home, she even dragged me to play two rounds of Street Fighter 6.

6...

So this is what happened inexplicably.

Xu Qi also took a deep breath, it seemed he also realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, she still comforted Delta, saying, "Haha... It's okay, the director wouldn't hide the storyboard. Anyway, she's here, we can just go and find her."

After saying that, Delta stared at Xu Qi with a cold smile.

"..."

As October passed, the weather in Shanghai began to cool down, but Xu Qi's back still seemed to be sweating.

"So Bronya really did something like hiding storyboards?"

Delta nodded.

I'm drenched in sweat, bro.

A studio manager and a production director rushed to Bronya's office immediately!

When the door opened, Bronya was still inside reviewing documents. Seeing the two of them rushing around, she couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look, "Xu Qi? Delta? What brings you here?"

The two exchanged a glance, Xu Qi straightened up, strode to Bronya's desk, and took a deep breath...

"Bronya, episode ten..."
