We moved to Golden Courtyard

The two understood that Xu Qi was looking for someone.

Soon enough, the three men's spiritual energy nearly filled the entire flower and bird market!

found it……

······

As the sun sets and the sky gradually darkens, the twilight scenery fills the streets and alleys of the flower and bird market, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

And Pado finally caught up with the light brown chinchilla.

"Meow!"

Actually, it wasn't that Pado caught up with him, but rather that Xu Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path, which allowed Pado to catch up successfully.

Behind Pado, Alicia arrived, panting, accompanied by the proprietress, Ms. Cheng Lixue.

"Do you know me?"

Surprisingly, this was the first thing Pado said after catching up with the chinchilla.

"You've seen me before on Twilight Street! Haven't you?"

"Meow……"

Cheng Lixue glanced at Pado, then at the cat, sighed, and translated, "It says yes."

“You know who I am, right? You know I’m the ‘righteous thief’! You want to be like me, to find a home for your fellow countrymen, right?”

"Meow……"

"Why... since you've seen me, it means you've witnessed it all firsthand! The ending of Twilight Street, and... my ending."

"Meow."

"It said it didn't know what the ending of Twilight Street was, nor did it know what happened to you later. It only knew that it still had its own compatriots to protect."

"But you can't protect them at all!"

"Meow!"

"You steal cat food for them, but have you ever thought about it? The flower and bird market will be expanded sooner or later, and then those remnants of Twilight Street will also be demolished!"

Without Twilight Street, they became homeless stray cats again! Driven away by people, they could only wander until they found another small corner.

How is this any different from before you started protecting them?

"..."

Xu Qi's expression was somewhat strange. After all, he really couldn't imagine that cats could have deep thoughts and ideas like humans, and that there were actually people... who could have conversations with them on an equal footing.

Pado stretched out her hand, took a step forward, and her eyes revealed a determination that the cat had never shown before.

"If you're willing to trust me... let me handle this! Okay?"

540. This is a story that exists because of you.

I am a stray cat, and I don't know when it started, but I found that I seemed to be a little different from other cats.

I can easily understand things that they cannot understand, such as... humans.

Among these humans, the most unique was a young girl who appeared to have cat ears. She was agile and nimble.

She would often go out and secretly give away the stolen goods to other humans.

It's like how one would try to find food for one's fellow countrymen.

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to me—I wanted to become like her, I wanted to...be a righteous thief among stray cats!

······

"It is precisely because they all came from humble backgrounds, because they all experienced the hardships of life, and because even after encountering numerous injustices, they all possessed a sense of justice that ordinary people do not have."

So when the girl appeared in the twilight... perhaps that was the true salvation for the cat.

Alicia typed the last character of the document.

In the Golden Courtyard, in her small boudoir, the woman with long pink hair, as lovely and beautiful as a fairy, let out a long sigh and stretched.

"Finished writing?"

"Hmm?~~" Ellie smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"I'll share this story with everyone during my next live stream."

The night was already deep, and Xu Qi had already taken Aili and the others home.

But Pado didn't come back.

After all, once a promise is made, it must be kept.

……

"I have a solution. The current Pado is different from before... Don't worry, boss! I can handle this!"

……

Surprisingly, even Pado has moments when she feels the urge to be passionate.

That is precisely why the friendship between them is all the more precious.

"I heard that Pado even gave that cat a name."

Xu Qi was stunned.

"Name? What name?"

"Order canned goods."

Xu Qi laughed. It really is a name that has Pado's characteristics, like a cat and canned food?

He stepped forward, placed a hand on Alicia's shoulder to ease her fatigue from typing for so long—"Are you unhappy? Today is supposed to be your birthday, but..."

"No? I'm actually quite happy today!"

Xu Qi was taken aback by the answer. He paused for a moment and said, "But I didn't even have time to prepare a gift for you."

But Ellie said, "Making new friends and hearing new stories, isn't that the best gift you could give me?"

……

Xu Qi smiled – girls are always like this, always so easily satisfied.

Perhaps the only thing she longed for was her own company.

"It's just a coincidence."

"But it's because of you that these coincidences happened, isn't it? It's also because of you that today's story has unfolded this way."

Ellie reached out and placed her hand on Xu Qi's large hand, which was kneading her shoulder, her face serene and peaceful.

"This is a story that exists because of you."

……

The emotions are hard to describe; perhaps it's being moved? Or perhaps it's something even more intense.

It constantly impacted Xu Qi's mind.

He stopped what he was doing, gently pulled the girl into his arms from behind, cheek to cheek, and all he wanted to do was stay with her like this.

"You're just too much for me to love so much."

"Then... in your heart, am I more important than Mei?"

"No."

"How could this happen!..." Ellie muttered aggrievedly.

Of course, Xu Qi knew that his little Ellie was just joking, but he still coaxed her with a sentence: "But the person I'm with now is you."

With a slight flicker in her eyes, Ai Li looked up and saw Xu Qi's teasing smile.

"Xu Qi..."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly understand Mei a little better... Actually, there's another gift you can give me, and right now."

"Huh? What is it?"

"I want... to have a child with you."

The intense love that had been somewhat restrained in her heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

Xu Qi lowered his head and kissed Alicia's lips, his hot breath carrying a captivating warmth. The entanglement of their lips and tongues mirrored the feelings in their hearts at that moment.

They were tightly intertwined, unwilling to separate, and did not want to separate.

It seems that only such stimulation can bring a slight sense of comfort to both parties.

Xu Qi looked up and his gaze toward Ai Li was tinged with a hint of teasing.

"You want it that badly?"

"Xu Qi, tell me... have I become a bad girl?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Being obsessed like this isn't good, is it... but I don't know why, I just can't help it anymore. Every time I see you, my heart can't help but leap with joy."

A hug or a kiss from you makes me crave more intimacy... Xu Qi, will you hate this about me?

Xu Qi gazed at the girl in his arms.

He knew that the other person wasn't deliberately saying sweet words to make him happy, but it was precisely because it wasn't intentional that he could feel the sincerity in their words.

He took Ellie's hand and led her to sit on the bed.

"Why would you hate her? Because you think that the person I like is a flawless Ellie?"

Ellie was stunned, and asked blankly, "Isn't that right?"

"Pfft! Hahahaha!" Xu Qi reached out and pinched Ai Li's nose. "What kind of person is perfect? ​​My little Ai Li?"

I like Alicia because I like her fairy-like mischief, I like her silly appearance, and I like how she always brings me a sense of peace...

If we were to talk about why I like Alicia, this topic would probably take a very long time to discuss... because I love everything about you.

You feel like you're becoming worse, but I think... you're just showing more of your human desires in front of me. No one doesn't want to be intimate with someone they love; it's human nature.

"Does that mean... I'm becoming more human?"

Xu Qi was overjoyed and pinched Ai Li's nose again.

“You are a human being, so what do you mean by ‘more like’? I’ve noticed you always like to say this to me.”

Ellie pursed her lips, her joy almost overflowing.

Looking at the lovely girl in front of him, Xu Qi mischievously leaned close to her ear.

Her breath brushed against her skin, making Ellie feel a tingling, numb sensation all over her body, leaving her weak and unable to exert any strength.

"Xu...Xu Qi..."

"Of course? You said it yourself, people... will always prefer things that are more superficial, shallow things."

With her hands clasped on the hem of her pure white dress and her thighs wriggling restlessly, Alicia stammered, "For...for example?"

The lips, running down from the base of the ear.

"For example, Ellie's pretty face, cherry lips, full breasts, fair skin, and..."

"Ugh!...No...Don't say anymore, Xu Qi..."

541. Ai Li's assessment of Xu Qi is—"He's like a baby."

Alicia sometimes finds it hard to understand why her boyfriend has such a terrible personality!

I didn't realize it before we got together!

The feedback was that I stopped pretending after receiving it.

While praising her own beauty, she went to taste it...
