We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Extraordinary measures for extraordinary times."

Seeing that Xu Qi was still somewhat hesitant, Delta thought for a moment and decided to add fuel to the fire.

“I know what you’re worried about—having too many girlfriends, but locking Bronya in a dark room to make her finish her manuscript means spending day and night with her.”

What about us? We could do this: you lock her up in your house, and then what? You stay home every day, making sure she finishes drawing the storyboards.

That's acceptable...

"But what about the company?"

"Don't worry~~ I've already spoken with Chairman Walter. Once the plan succeeds, Bronya can temporarily take over her work from him..."

As for you, the supervisor... don't you still have Rita? Have Rita cover your shifts for a while longer. And this is different from your last trip.

"Just stay home. If there's any problem, I can come directly to your house. It won't be any trouble."

Ugh?

Xu Qi clapped his hands and exclaimed, "You really are a genius!"

Delta patted his rather small chest and said proudly, "Right? I have a brilliant plan~~ This time it'll work, won't it?"

Xu Qi gritted his teeth.

"Dry!"

······

Meanwhile, Bronya drove all the way to the church from last time.

Monday afternoon is the perfect time for heart-to-heart talks in the "tree hole".

Bronya finally met the nun—even though the two had never met before.

"Hello, Miss Bronya, we meet again."

Aponia's voice, filtering through the tree hollow, reached Bronya, instantly making her forget all her troubles and abandon all her vigilance.

"Hello, Sister."

"Did you come here again for the same issue as last time?"

“Pretty much.” Bronya took a deep breath. “I… I should be ready! I want to be with him, I want to give him everything I have.”

After Bronya finished speaking, she felt that the atmosphere in the church had suddenly become a little more somber, and the nun remained silent for a long time without replying.

"Nun?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Bronya, I was just lost in thought," Aponia's voice drifted out softly.

Do nuns get distracted too?

But then again, her words were indeed a bit shocking. Bronya was also a little embarrassed at the moment. How could she... have said it out loud?

However, after saying it out loud, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief!

Yes, Bronya is ready!

"Could we ask you what drove you to commit to this idea?"

Bronya blushed, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sister, to be honest, actually... I don't quite understand either."

"But every time I see them achieve something remarkable at work, or perform exceptionally well, I can't help but get excited."

That's right, that's it.

Just like that time, when Xu Qi had just returned from Taixu Mountain to attend the handover meeting, he not only utterly defeated Liu Yizhi, but also brilliantly dragged Director Yang down with him!

Xu Qi was unaware that Bronya was watching from the sidelines... and was actually deeply moved.

"Miss, does this... count as me just liking his powerful side?"

Bronya asked the question with unease.

"Worshiping the strong is in the nature of many people, but if I'm not mistaken, Miss Bronya, you yourself are also a very formidable person."

"Yes."

Bronya was never modest about her own strength.

"Furthermore, as a senior executive in the company, you must have met many outstanding people along the way. Do you have any special thoughts about their excellent performance?"

Bronya was taken aback—this… there really isn’t one.

“Miss Bronya, it is because you have always loved Xu Qi that you care so much about his performance and that you have emotional fluctuations because of his performance.”

You don't just like his strong side; you just like the feeling of your lover shining in your presence. Let me ask you a different question: what if Xu Qi encountered a major life-changing event?

He never recovered and faded into obscurity. Would you leave him because of this?

"Of course not!" Without even hesitating, Bronya answered directly, "I will always stay by his side, and even if everyone else chooses to leave, that person will not be me!"

Hmm...that's good. Besides you, Xu Qi's other girlfriends probably think the same way.

Aponia sighed deeply.

"Miss Bronya, congratulations. I suppose... Xu Qi has done something dazzling recently that has stirred your emotions and made you love him even more?"

Hmm... that seems to be the case.

In Alahato Seed, Bronya sees the possibility of this IP regaining its former glory in the PV! And all of this is because of Xu Qi…

The more I think about this, the more I want to be with him as soon as possible.

“I think I understand. Thank you, Sister.”

Bronya took a deep breath.

"I think I know what to do."

Having said that, he turned and left.

As she watched the girl, who was clearly not young but still liked to wear a single ponytail and had an exceptionally graceful figure, leave, Aponia clasped her hands together and silently prayed for her.

Bronya was ready and determined.

From now on, she will accompany Xu Qi through this part of his life without any hesitation...

And what about me?

The nun's eyes were full of confusion and inquiry.

"In this respect, Bronya has ultimately surpassed us..."

494. Rin: I suddenly don't want to call you brother-in-law anymore.

After work, Xu Qi drove his GTR to pick up three girls who were studying in the university town.

When everyone arrived, Mei and Fu Hua called him on their phones to say that they had made plans to go shopping together that evening and would be going home later.

Okay... I still need to pick up my sister-in-law myself.

Speaking of which, Xu Qi had a feeling during those ten days of National Day holiday—his sister-in-law, who used to like him quite a bit, had been avoiding him for a long time…

I had promised to take her out for a trip during the National Day holiday, but I couldn't see her at all during the day.

When asked, she said she went out to play with her classmates.

Sakura cared a lot about her younger sister. She asked her about it once, but Rin snapped at her impatiently, leaving her frustrated and unable to get any answers.

While he was doing it with Ying, Xu Qi also listened to his fox-eared girlfriend complaining that his younger sister was going through a rebellious phase.

So you're only starting your rebellious phase now that you're in college...

Xu Qi recalled his conversation with Sister Ying a few days ago.

"Perfect timing. Your younger sister is at school, and you'll be picking her up tonight. If you have time... could you ask her what's going on? She's not even listening to her older sister anymore?"

Why don't you ask?

"There are some things I, as the older sister, find difficult to say, but you can. I'm sorry, I always seem to cause you trouble..."

"What's the trouble? Sakura and I are family, so Rin is naturally too. I'll check on Rin's situation when I have time."

Instead of just saying thank you, why not show some real gratitude?

What happened after that... is hard to recall.

In short, that night, Sakura behaved very... wantonly in bed.

Fu Hua was also present at the time and was forced to perform many tricks.

Gee...

Sigh! I can't think about it anymore. But speaking of which, why isn't Rin answering her phone? She should have finished class by now, shouldn't she?

Xu Qi was feeling somewhat anxious when suddenly his brow furrowed...

Looking out the car window, on Wenhui Road, the most bustling street in the university town, a group of students were chatting and laughing. Such scenes are common, but Xu Qi's sharp eyes spotted them…

Among them, there seemed to be a pink-haired girl who was a little out of place.

With a raised eyebrow, Xu Qi started the car and quietly followed them.

······

"Hey, what's up with that Japanese girl? Did they say we were going to bring her to the party tonight?"

The guy who was clearly the core of the group was whispering to his girlfriend. Hearing his girlfriend's complaints, he couldn't help but glance at the girl with long pink hair.

He knew that the other person's name was Yae Rin and that she was a Japanese exchange student.

"Who knows... She's quite good-looking, though."

"What do you mean!?"

"I was just saying, I didn't mean anything by it."

……

Walking down the street, Rin kept her head down, feeling utterly alone even surrounded by familiar faces. These people, who were about to go out for a night of revelry, were all her classmates.

They made plans to go to karaoke tonight as a way to celebrate their reunion after being apart for so long during the National Day holiday.

Rin wasn't originally supposed to be involved, but tonight... she took the initiative to participate.

It wasn't for any other reason than that I only remembered it near the end of get out of class—I needed my brother-in-law's car to go home that night…

Rin pursed her lips.

Her phone had already vibrated several times; she knew it must be her brother-in-law calling, but... she didn't dare answer...

That day, her sister asked her where she had gone during the National Day holiday, and she didn't dare to answer—she couldn't very well say that she went out and wandered around by herself because she had no friends and was too afraid to stay at home and face her brother-in-law, could she?

Studying abroad alone in an unfamiliar place can be quite troublesome...

Even when I was in Japan, I didn't necessarily have many close friends.

Despite her devilish appearance, Rin has never been good at socializing.

Right now... Occasionally glancing at these men and women chatting and laughing, I can't help but compare them to my brother-in-law and the other women in the courtyard.

The result is a group of simple-minded, mindless zombies who only follow their deepest desires.

Although they said they were going to karaoke, Rin could guess what would happen next.

Just like that night when I saw my brother-in-law and sister... um... I can't think about it anymore.

"Hey! Rin!"

Just then, one of my classmates called my name.

Rin frowned imperceptibly. She really wasn't used to these people calling people by their names so readily—in her country, names were only used by people with close relationships.

Rin has emphasized this more than once.

"Please call me by my surname 'Yae,' thank you."

The girl who called out to her waved her hand dismissively and laughed, "What's wrong with that? We're all classmates, can't I even call your name?"

"No."

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, she was rejected so bluntly, and the girl's face stiffened for a moment.
