We moved to Golden Courtyard

"..."

"What kind of look is that?"

"The look in a narcissist's eyes."

"Hey!? You little brat, you're asking for it!"

"A little bit!"

Xu Qi smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, from my perspective, you did a pretty good job."

"Really?"

"Really? Actually, what impressed me the most was when you were recording the PV last time. You perfectly captured Lux's delicate little thoughts."

From this perspective, you're quite capable.

Shi Yu Qiluo patted her chest with a grin. Her two little pigeons trembled, causing Xu Qi to quickly avert his gaze.

"That's right! Don't you even know who I am?"

"So, choosing you back then, at least from my perspective, was always the best decision I ever made. It had nothing to do with personal feelings or anything else; it was simply because I felt..."

You're more suitable, and you have the ability.

Crowdfunding group 456127940...

The girl lowered her head silently, a sudden wave of guilt washing over her.

I felt guilty about my previous thoughts and my performance that morning.

"I……"

"Don't put pressure on yourself. After all, you're doing voice acting for no one, not to meet my expectations, and not to prove anything."

I hope you simply portray the character of Lux Klein well; that's the only thing you need to do as a voice actress.

After Xu Qi finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving the girl alone at the dining table, lost in thought.

······

"So? Do you feel your persuasion was effective?"

Upstairs in Bronya's office, Bronya saw Xu Qi casually sit down on the sofa as soon as he entered. She stood up and poured him a glass of water.

The CEO is pouring water for the manager; doesn't that seem a bit of a reversal of the proper order of importance?

"We'll see how they react later. I've had Delta go over to give some guidance this afternoon. I've already explained the key points to her. What about you? Aren't you going?"

"I still have a lot of faith in our company's voice-over directors."

"What I mean is, why don't you go and see what kind of transformation Shigure Kira might undergo?"

Bronya shook her head. At this moment, she was leaning against the table with her legs crossed, and her thin black stockings were clearly visible to Xu Qi.

Like a whirlpool, it firmly drew Xu Qi's gaze.

"No need. Since you've said that, I naturally believe you."

"Is it that touching?"

"What, did our political commissar move himself before he moved others?"

"How did you become a political commissar again?"

Bronya, holding a teacup, shrugged.

"As a supervisor, you are the one who needs to adjust the situation if any employees in different departments have any problems with their physical or mental state."

Unlike other industries, our animation industry doesn't easily solve problems by simply replacing one person. Everyone here has their own value.

And how to enable them to maximize their value is the question you, as the manager, need to consider.

As soon as Bronya finished speaking, Xu Qi suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility to shoulder.

Seriously... you won't let me lie down, huh?

"But there's another problem that's been bothering me for a long time."

"how long?"

"One morning."

How can this take so long?!

Staring at the tea leaves in her cup, Bronya gently swirled the teacup and said casually, "I've always wondered... where exactly does the rosemary scent on Supervisor Xu Qi come from?"

"..."

The expression on his face instantly became somewhat stiff.

"The fragrance is so deep, it penetrates to the very core. If I weren't so close, I wouldn't even be able to smell it. But once I did smell it... the scent of rosemary was so... intense."

Bronya maintained a calm expression throughout her speech.

That's her defining characteristic as someone with facial paralysis; even when she's in bed with her cheeks flushed, she still has that faint expression, which is quite moving to watch.

Right now... the pressure on Xu Qi is increasing exponentially.

"Where does this fragrance come from?" Bronya asked, walking gracefully to Xu Qi and bending down, revealing her stunning curves.

She reached out and lifted Xu Qi's chin, pulling his face closer to hers.

"You're already chatting away with Rita so early in the morning, you really have a lot of energy~~ Manager Xu Qi."

"Cough! Uh..."

What's going on with these two women?! They're both incredibly good at catching mistresses!

Xu Qi swallowed hard.

"Duck, let me explain."

"Now that you know how to comfort people, you call me Duck Duck, right?"

Xu Qi was truly on the verge of tears.

"You haven't forgotten what we're supposed to do today, have you?"

"I know! Wednesday! I'll go home with YaYa to play video games!"

Bronya nodded in satisfaction.

"You can prepare yourself mentally, Xu Qi."

No! God! Please! ...No! ...No! ! ! ! !

525. Do you know what day October 31st is?

The outcome was exactly as Xu Qi had predicted.

What Miss Shigure Kira needs is just a moment of guidance to help her let go more easily.

According to her, the voice director praised her for once that afternoon.

"What did you praise? What did you say?"

"He said I finally acted like a human being in the afternoon."

……

It can only be said that people's concept of praise may be slightly off.

But it's alright, as long as the little girl is happy. Before leaving, Shi Yu Qi Luo looked at him for a long time, which made Xu Qi feel a little awkward. He couldn't help but ask.

"I have freckles on my face?"

"No, no, I was just thinking... I don't know how to thank you enough."

"No need, it's my pleasure."

"What relationship makes you feel that this is the right thing to do?"

“Friend,” Xu Qi answered without hesitation.

If I answer that I'm helping you out of my role as project manager, how can I expect you to work properly for me?

Sima Yi once said, "Win over the hearts of the people and unify the world!"

Of course, Xu Qi doesn't need to conquer the world, but winning people's hearts is still necessary.

"Oh... then let's take it slow."

"Huh? What do you mean, take your time?"

"It's nothing! I'm going now!"

……

It's so strange, these days girls are so hard to guess what's on their minds. If only they were all as clueless as Alicia.

But the problem is...

I helped Shigure Kira, who will help me?

After getting off work that evening, Bronya took me away. The car drove very fast on the road, just like Bronya's mood—hurried!

As soon as I entered the house, Bronya dragged me to the living room and said...

"Come on! Let's play games!"

"So this is what you're in such a hurry for?"

"Of course! Alan Wake 2! It was only released at the end of last month, and I haven't had a chance to play it yet... What? What do you think I'm in a rush?"

Xu Qi... Xu Qi pursed her lips and revealed a smile.

"It's nothing, playing games is good!"

Alan Wake, also known as Alan Wake 2, is a narrative game with horror elements.

Yes, it does have concepts of survival and action-adventure, but these pale in comparison to the game's unparalleled narrative.

As a seasoned gamer, how could Xu Qi not have heard of this game?

However, just like Bronya, she didn't have time to play before.

It's good, it's good.

Playing this kind of game, it's impossible for it to end up in bed, right? Let my little brother get a good rest tonight, don't let him crawl through holes every day, or he'll be exhausted sooner or later.

The game opens with a prologue that has a strong religious horror atmosphere, featuring a forest road scene that looks very similar to the opening of The Shining.

Honestly, if Mei or Mei were here, they would have turned pale with fright after what just happened.

But it was Bronya, who, like Xu Qi, showed no reaction whatsoever, even discussing the storyboards and performances they had just worked on while playing.

"Speaking of which, I've been meaning to ask, how's your relationship with your sister going these days?"

"Duck, if I remember correctly, you invite me to your house to play games every Wednesday, it seems like it's all about winning over my sister, right..."

"Um……"

"He even played related adult games."

Gan!

"Okay, but that's not important."

How can this not be important!?

"So what now?" Bronya's face was full of curiosity. After all, this was different from Xu Qi and Fu Hua being together; those two were said to be siblings...

I can only say I have a slight feeling about it, but not much.

But his relationship with Eden had a much stronger sibling-like bond!

That kind of affection that only exists between family members is absolutely true!

Just thinking about something that goes against ethics and morals is exciting, isn't it?

Humans are naturally inclined to gossip, especially about such a juicy story! Bronya's curiosity is perfectly understandable, especially considering that her sister might be among the wealthiest people in the world...

The experience of having a dual identity is indescribable.
