We moved to Golden Courtyard

Fu Hua blushed immediately and said in a soft voice, "I... I've had my period."

Xu Qi opened his mouth slightly, immediately counted the number of days, and found that it really was true!

"Ah, um... sorry, mine."

Fu Hua chuckled and bent down to kiss Xu Qi on the lips. She had never been able to refuse her brother.

"It'll all be over in a few days... but I need you to spend quality time with me."

"Okay~~ I'll take a break tonight, I'll sleep well by myself."

"With so many girlfriends, why are you worried about not finding one?"

Xu Qi raised his hands in surrender.

"I give up. I just wanted to rest for a bit."

Fu Hua lightly bit her lower lip, giving Xu Qi a charming glare. Actually, Fu Hua had noticed her brother when he came looking for her.

Xu Qi must have fooled around with Ai Li and Mei before, because he smells like them.

They said they just wanted to rest, but they probably already vented their anger a long time ago, right?

"Bad brother."

······

It was late at night. Xu Qi went back to his room, took a shower, and replied to Bronya and Rita's text messages. Then he casually sent some messages to Miss Durandal, whom he had recently been flirting with... no, I mean, chatting with.

Seriously, last time Rita even said she was flirting with Durandal.

How can it be?

They just had a normal chat. Last time, when they invited each other over for dinner, they sparred and both recognized each other's strength.

So we ended up chatting a bit more.

This little maid has such a vivid imagination.

"Rita went to take a shower and isn't with me right now. What were you about to say to me?"

Upon seeing this message, Xu Qi immediately replied.

"Oh, didn't you ask me if I felt a bit stuffy in my chest when I wore a bra? Actually, Sister Wilvi invented some great gadgets that should solve your problem."

"Really? Then next time I come to the courtyard, you can bring it to me."

"Yes, but I need your measurements. I'll measure them myself when you come back next time."

How do you measure it?

"It's very accurate when measured by hand."

"You pervert! If you do that again, I'm not talking to you anymore... Rita's almost done showering, I'm not going to say anything more."

Inside the apartment, Yulandel turned off her phone and picked up her tablet to start playing games—this was something Xu Qi had taught her, so she could play games as a cover—how exciting!

Rita emerged wrapped in a bath towel, her slender yet voluptuous figure exuding astonishing charm. If Xu Qi were here, he would surely have already been itching to mount her.

Why have you started playing games lately?

"Oh... a friend recommended it, so I'll just play around with it."

Rita glanced at it—Genshin Impact.

I'm so excited! Original!

No, no, what's wrong with my brain? It must be because I'm with Xu Qi every day and he's infected me with this bad habit.

In the courtyard, Xu Qi, with a smile on his face, deleted the chat history.

Just kidding, Xu Qi would make the same mistake twice! Anyway, he's smart, he remembers all these things. As for Yulandel sometimes sending pictures of herself after a workout or shower…

Sigh! Of course, it should be deleted too.

It will simply be saved to a hidden folder on your computer first...

With a pleasant smile, Xu Qi comfortably lay down on the bed, ready to sleep. It was rare for her to sleep alone tonight; she usually does some pre-sleep exercises.

Sometimes the object of a sport is just one person, and sometimes it may be many people.

It depends on the girls' mood.

Of course, most of the time it's Mei.

This is the first wife! The legitimate wife!

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in his mind, Xu Qi was about to drift off to sleep when, just as he was half-asleep, the door was slowly opened...

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow, but quickly calmed down and pretended to be asleep.

Xu Qi sensed that it was Mei approaching, but something felt off. Mei's footsteps didn't seem to be like that, and she wouldn't be coming so furtively.

The person walked to the bedside, squatted down in front of Xu Qi, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief the moment they saw Xu Qi.

"Xu Qi...are you asleep?"

Although his eyes were closed, Xu Qi already knew—it was Mei who had come.

Mei's voice is more husky and steady, unlike Mei's clear and bright voice. Of course, the other person can imitate it if they wish.

But after all, age and experience are factors, and there are always some subtle differences between her and Mei.

This is something Xu Qi only discovered after he became more familiar with Mei.

Xu Qi did not answer.

Mei pursed her lips, got up, and left.

What does this mean? Coming all the way here in the middle of the night just to see if I'm asleep?

But soon, Xu Qi realized he was wrong.

It turns out Mei just switched sides and quietly climbed into bed...

Holy crap!?

You're here for a night raid?!

Xu Qi resisted the urge to move, but his heart was already beating much faster.

Mei gently lifted the covers and slipped into Xu Qi's bed. Her soft, warm body pressed against him, carrying a fragrant scent that almost intoxicated Xu Qi.

Mei reached out and wrapped her arms around Xu Qi's strong waist and abdomen, leaning against his back, and murmured, "Sure enough, I feel much more at ease now."

Peace of mind?

Xu Qi was startled. He quietly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing a mixture of realization and apology...

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qi pretended not to notice and asked in a daze, "Mei?"

Mei seemed startled! But she quickly calmed down, hugged Xu Qi again, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I thought you were already asleep..."

"You were asleep, just woke up—couldn't you sleep?"

In the darkness, Mei nodded, but then realized Xu Qi couldn't see her, so she could only say, "Um... Miss Eden prepared a guest room for me and even gave me a nightlight, but..."

But as soon as the lights in the room are turned off, I get a little scared, so that's why..."

“You don’t need to be so careful. It’s my fault. I didn’t consider that and scared you. You must have been terrified in the haunted house.”

517. How could I possibly dislike Mei?

Xu Qi turned over and hugged Mei.

Hearing the other person's soft whispers in her ear, Mei, who had initially felt a little scared, seemed to have all the gloom in her heart instantly dispelled.

This time, she wasn't saying she was trying to pull any tricks; she was genuinely scared...

The experience of visiting the haunted house was still fresh in Mei's mind. As soon as the lights were turned off, she would unconsciously fall into a sense of panic.

Even with the lights on, it's still a little scary to be alone in the dead of night.

At times like this, Mei's first thought is naturally Xu Qi.

He had assumed Xu Qi would be out having another wild night with another girlfriend, but when he arrived at her room, he found that only Xu Qi was sleeping there.

My heart immediately felt much calmer.

Greedily inhaling Xu Qi's scent, Mei couldn't help but become somewhat infatuated.

"Sorry, I should have known. You're still a little scared after visiting a haunted house, right? It's okay, I'm right here, I'll stay by your side. Go to sleep..."

He gently patted Mei's back, as if soothing a child to sleep, which was somewhat amusing. At that moment, Xu Qi was truly free of any other thoughts.

He sensed Mei's cautiousness, which made him feel a little guilty.

It must be because the rejection during the National Day holiday left her with too much psychological trauma, which is why she is so cautious even when seeking my company.

but……

Mei nestled in Xu Qi's arms, her little face flushed, and she couldn't help but think—"With you like this, I feel like I can't sleep at all... My mind is filled with thoughts of you, Xu Qi."

But it was indeed as Xu Qi had thought.

Mei thought of the rejection she received on National Day.

She didn't know how intimate she should get to Xu Qi's level.

He was afraid that his advances would displease Xu Qi.

Moreover... Mei herself wasn't prepared for this at all.

She was only wearing a simple silk nightgown, and with Xu Qi right beside her, she felt reassured, but inevitably, another kind of distracting thought began to arise...

As she shifted in and out of her seat, Xu Qi said, half-laughing and half-crying, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"Um……"

Mei looked at Xu Qi with her big, watery eyes, but then lowered her eyes and said, "Maybe I was too excited before, I'm not sleepy at all now."

Xu Qi scratched his head.

"How about... we talk? Have a chat?"

Mei blinked her big eyes and quickly nodded, saying, "Okay, okay!"

Why does she seem so excited? Oh, she really is excited...

So Xu Qi sat up and leaned against the headboard, and Mei naturally snuggled up to him and lay on his chest.

Her long, smooth hair cascaded down her back. Xu Qi looked down and was momentarily stunned. In a daze, he seemed to think that Mei was lying on his chest.

Even their habit of lying on top of each other is very similar...

But this pose actually makes it easier to distinguish Mei from Mei.

This mature woman, who is at the peak of her life, has an almost unbelievably perfect figure.

Lying down like this, the pressure of Miss Mei's ample bosom against his chest made the sensation even more pronounced.

In the dead of night, Xu Qi, who had been half asleep and not fully awake, couldn't help but think...

If Mei and Mei are both in bed at the same time...

Hiss!

Xu Qi quickly shook his head—he really couldn't think about it anymore.

"What's wrong?" Mei asked, a hint of confusion in her expression.

"No...it's nothing. Aren't you having trouble sleeping? Let's just chat. What do you want to hear?"

I want to hear everything about you.

Xu Qi laughed.

"There's so much to say."

"I want to hear... your story with Mei."

Xu Qi seemed to choke, staring blankly at Mei. Seeing the playful look in Mei's eyes, he instantly realized that this was just a prank.

He squinted, reached out and placed his hand on the other person's waist, and suddenly gave it a light tickle.

"ah!"
