We moved to Golden Courtyard

The moment the words 'Episode 10' were uttered, Bronya's originally calm expression visibly began to turn tense and anxious.

His eyes began to dart around, as if he were searching for an escape route.

Delta quickly slammed the door shut and then pressed herself tightly against it.

Bronya scoffed – she'd been seen through…

Xu Qi couldn't hold back anymore.

"So what exactly happened in episode ten?"

"I... I don't know either..." The CEO lowered his head and stammered, "I just don't have any inspiration and don't know how to draw it."

"So how many have been drawn so far? We should be able to see them so we can understand the progress."

"Um... my sketchbook is at home, I forgot to bring it! I'll bring it tomorrow..."

"Do you think I'm a primary school student?!"

Bronya felt even more aggrieved after being yelled at by Xu Qi. She pouted slightly and said in a childish voice, "You...you really forgot about home..."

"You've been living with me every day for the past ten days of National Day, and you're telling me you forgot about home?"

Delta, who was leaning against the door, was stunned—Holy crap! This is explosive?

Bronya, sitting in her office chair, was also stunned—Holy crap! She'd been found out!

"No! ...Anyway, there isn't any! There's no problem!"

As he spoke, he slumped onto the desk and began to lay out his tools...

Xu Qi, who had been able to maintain a normal expression, completely lost it—how could he be acting like a scoundrel?!

The situation is indeed much more complicated and worse than I imagined...

But given Bronya's current state... it's not wise to push her any further; we need to reconsider...

Xu Qi gave Delta a look, then glanced at Bronya, who was slumped over the table looking aggrieved. Despite his annoyance, seeing Bronya's expression softened his heart.

He reached out and ruffled the other person's long, silver-gray hair, then pinched the other person's chubby cheeks.

"Alright, don't be upset... I'll give you a little more time then. But you can't do this again next time, okay?"

With her big eyes blinking as she stared at Xu Qi, Bronya pursed her lips and nuzzled her cheek against Xu Qi's hand, using a poker face to act coquettishly, which inexplicably struck a chord with Xu Qi.

"Oh……"

492. You must make her draw the storyboard!

Delta stood in the hallway, hands on her hips, feeling a terrible headache.

"What are we going to do? Now Bronya can drag this out for several more days... Why can't you be ruthless!?"

Xu Qi rolled his eyes helplessly.

"That's my girlfriend, how could I be so heartless?"

Delta stared wide-eyed as she approached Xu Qi. Though small in stature, she exuded an imposing presence.

"How dare you say that?! Just because she's your girlfriend, you have even more reason to talk to her! What good would it do if we talked to her?! It would just go in one ear and out the other."

"How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?!"

Xu Qi pursed his lips—he felt that these animators, regardless of their age, were all like children.

Um...including himself.

"It's no use. Luckily you were there just now. If I were alone, I can imagine how Bronya would have made me shut up."

How can I make you shut up?

"kiss Me."

……

Delta's face flushed instantly! It was hard to tell whether it was from anger, embarrassment, or both.

She quickly retreated far away, covering her lips and saying, "You pervert! You scoundrel! I'll just ask you one question: how dare you force me to kiss you!?"

"Don't you know I've never even kissed someone before?!"

Grass……

Xu Qi held his forehead with one hand and made a desperate "uh" sound, like someone drowning.

"I meant Bronya would shut me up by kissing me... What are you thinking, Director Delta!?"

……

Delta stood there stunned, then put her hands behind her back, turned her head, and started whistling.

"You can't think you can cover up your embarrassment like this, can you?!"

"Oh, okay, okay, I misunderstood you, alright? I'm sorry."

You do seem to be speaking with some sincerity.

But Xu Qi couldn't be bothered with any of that. Right now, the most important thing was still Bronya's problem...

"What about Bronya? If she doesn't produce the storyboard for episode 10, we can't just keep waiting, can we?"

Even episode seven is already in production, and production of episode ten is expected to begin simultaneously by the end of this month. At that point, we don't even know the director's progress.

"Actually, it's already very good. Director Bronya is known in the industry for her speed in drawing storyboards. Some directors can only produce one episode in a month. We've been asking too much of her."

Xu Qi was somewhat surprised that Delta was actually saying some good things about her at this moment.

"What's wrong with that expression? I always say what I think, and I'll praise things that deserve praise."

is it?

Seeing Xu Qi's increasingly amused expression, Delta clenched his fist.

“Well… it’s because I criticized her before, thinking she was taking animation production less and less seriously and was going to follow in Mr. Walter’s footsteps… Now it seems I was wrong.”

Xu Qi laughed – she hadn't expected him to be such a proud and arrogant person.

"Alright, Director Delta, there's no need to dwell on this all the time. We all know that Overseer Bronya has many merits, but right now..."

The most urgent and crucial thing is the storyboard for episode ten. We need to at least know the progress, right? Do you have any good ideas?

However, after Xu Qi finished speaking, Delta fell silent.

"what happened?"

"There is a way..."

"Then why don't you say it?"

Delta looked up at Xu Qi with a slightly conflicted expression.

"You know, when he was making Alahatto ZZ, Mr. Walter also fell into this creative block, and he couldn't see the storyboard for half a month."

It's fair to say that the two of them are truly of the same ilk when it comes to hiding storyboard drafts. But that's not the point. Do you know how I got Mr. Walter to finish the storyboard draft for the final episode?

Perhaps Delta's expression was too serious at the moment, or perhaps his tone was too sinister.

Xu Qi subconsciously swallowed and asked cautiously, "How did you do that?"

“I locked him in a dark room and told him not to come out until he finished drawing.”

……

Holy crap, I think I've heard about this before!

But hearing someone else's story and hearing the person involved tell the story themselves... are completely different experiences.

Xu Qi's lips twitched slightly as he glanced at Delta and said, "Director... you're not going to do anything to Bronya..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Walter has a strong tolerance for stress and can do it."

This has nothing to do with the strength of one's tolerance, right? Xu Qi finally understood why all creators in the industry felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Delta.

It's the natural panic of prey seeing its predator!

We'll put them in a dark room! It's not just talk!

She really will do it!

Xu Qi suddenly started to worry. What if he couldn't finish his script one day? Would he also be locked in a dark room by Miss Delta?

That kind of thing...no way...

"And aren't you the boyfriend who's in charge of supervising? So I think some things are actually easier to implement."

"Wait! Delta, what do you mean!? Are you trying to get me to lure Bronya into the dark room? Are you trying to make me the male lead in a hentai anime!?"

"Tsk!" Delta clicked her tongue.

"What are you thinking? Mr. Xu Qi, you pervert? Calm down."

"Why is there this title suddenly added before my address... And! The dark room! The dark room! How am I supposed to stay calm?!"

"Oh dear, I didn't mean the dark room."

Xu Qi breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as it wasn't a dark room, everything was fine.

"I mean, you have to lure Bronya into a small room, then lock her up and not let her leave until she finishes drawing."

"Isn't this still a dark room!?"

······

Meanwhile, in the president's office.

Bronya lay on the table, her eyes glazed over, her cheeks flushed, seemingly still immersed in the intimate interaction she had just had with Xu Qi.

Honestly... I originally moved to Golden Courtyard during the National Day holiday to better connect with Xu Qi, and then... I started a crowdfunding campaign... maybe then...

They did it naturally.

In the end, all I did was keep working, working, working...

The only improvement was that he gave up his rear end—which was quite comfortable, and Xu Qi was very satisfied. That night was probably the most comfortable night he had ever had.

Um... it doesn't seem like something worth talking about.

But you can't blame me entirely for not being able to draw the storyboard for episode 10, right? Even if I, Bronya, am 99% responsible, then Xu Qi, don't you have that 1% to blame?

Right now, all I can think about is taking our relationship to the next level, so I can't draw it... Is that my fault?

Where is Xu Qi? What is Xu Qi doing? #Check Xu Qi's status

I can't delay any longer... My plan was to give myself to her after the National Day holiday! Delaying it any longer isn't Bronya's style!

Hmm... but such an important matter shouldn't be taken lightly. Let's go to the church first and ask that nun.

493. Miss Bronya made up her mind.

"I said, you've thought about it for so long, are you going to do this 'locking people in a dark room' thing or not?"

ETStudio's staff canteen. Xu Qi rarely comes here for lunch today, since she came from the hotel this morning. Mei and the others are either at school or at work today.

No one had time to bring Xu Qi food.

Naturally, he had to solve it himself.

Delta was sitting opposite him, looking at the large pot of food on the tray, and it looked awful no matter how she looked at it.

It's not that it was so bad that it was hard to swallow; in fact, the taste was quite good. But having gotten used to the food prepared by Mei, I naturally couldn't stand it.

In addition, Delta kept trying to persuade him, saying things like...

"If you just lock the supervisor in a dark room, can't you do whatever you want?"

So you really intend for me to become the male lead in a hentai anime...

Xu Qi scratched his head in distress.

"You mean...this really works?"

"Of course! Back then, I locked Walter in a dark room and didn't even let him bring his cell phone! Once the temptations from the outside world disappeared, he drew much faster."

"But this is a crime..."
