We moved to Golden Courtyard

"what?"

"This Christmas, Leonardo DiCaprio and I will be spending it at your Golden Courtyard, right? Bye-bye!"

……

Xu Qi looked at his phone; the busy tone was already ringing.

"Boiled!"

549. Uniforms are something men can't resist.

Putting aside why these old-timers from Taixu Mountain want to celebrate Christmas.

In short, Xu Qi felt that he would most likely set aside a day to properly purchase gifts for everyone. The price didn't matter; the thought was what mattered most.

Bronya is a good example; she even offered to help make a special Christmas edition Homu doll.

It seems the CEO doesn't care whether it's a surprise or not.

And if we mention the Houmu doll, then Theresa's Christmas present seems to be solved.

Thanks to Houmu, he helped me solve so many girl problems.

And for everyone in the courtyard, their gifts are actually quite easy to think of. After spending so much time together, it would be really lame if we didn't even have a thoughtful gift.

And then there's the maid... what does she like?

Yes, she likes me.

No, she likes Alahatto!

But giving a girl a mecha for Christmas seems a bit...we should probably choose a different gift.

Finally, there's Miss Mei.

Get her a pair of glasses; her old round-framed glasses look really ordinary.

Xu Qi planned to pick out a more refined one for the other party.

it is good!

He's already thought of gifts for his girlfriends, and next up are Delta, Himeko, Seele, Shigure Kira... Wait, isn't that a bit too many?!

And that's not all...

Ah... what terrible things have I done...?

Su had previously asked herself if she had too many female friends.

Xu Qi realized he was right. If he were surrounded by men, he wouldn't need to think about such absurd things. Hey guys, who's spending Christmas?

"I want to find a man."

"what?"

Inside the office, Rita tilted her head, as if wondering if she had misheard.

Xu Qi quickly waved his hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, you misheard Miss Rita."

"Since you've said so, it seems Rita didn't mishear me."

"..."

"Is Rita not serving you well enough? To the point that our Manager Xu is even considering finding a man? Aren't women appealing?"

"It smells so good, Rita, I was wrong, forget what I said."

After much persuasion, he managed to stop Rita, that person with the perverse sense of humor, from continuing to tease him.

Xu Qi sighed deeply—"I'll take a leave of absence."

······

That very evening, in the courtyard.

What gift should we give Xu Qi for Christmas?

Led by Mei, along with Theresa, Rita, and Durandal, almost all the women of the Golden Garden gathered in Eden's large room, including little Gretchen.

As soon as Mei finished speaking, Alicia immediately raised her hand and said, "I know, I know!"

Mei was quite pleased.

"Ellie, what do you think?"

"Let's just give Xu Qi whatever he likes, okay?"

"You're right, so what does he like?"

"He likes me?~~"

……

After a while, the noise stopped, and Sakura and Mei, who had been sitting next to Alicia, clapped their hands, looking as if they had finally finished scolding her.

Alicia lay on the floor, sobbing, yelling, "I'm going to tell Xu Qi that you all ganged up on me..."

"Does anyone else want to speak?"

"Me!" Paddo's eyes lit up as she raised her hand high!

Mei was very pleased.

“Pado, you tell us.”

He likes women!

Mei didn't even need to meow anymore; Fu Hua simply shoved a sack over the cat's head and, along with Theresa, gave her a good scolding. The cat, having already sensed something was wrong, slipped into Aponia's arms.

Eden watched everyone playfully bickering with a smile, and finally stood up and said, "Alright, stop joking around, it's a Christmas present after all."

Even if it doesn't satisfy Xu Qi, it should at least make him feel valued, right?

As Xu Qi's older sister, Eden still exudes a great deal of authority.

After she said that, everyone stopped fooling around.

“But what that pink fat woman said is right,” Möbius said, looking rather bored. “We’ll give Xu Qi whatever he likes…”

So what does he like?

After Möbius finished speaking, many options popped into everyone's minds.

Figurines, Arahad, collector's edition games—basically a bunch of collectible items.

Thinking about it now, I realize that Xu Qi...

It seems like he has a strong collecting obsession!

Oh, and she also likes to travel.

But this certainly can't be given away as a gift.

Ultimately... why are people gathered around discussing this? Shouldn't they each be thinking of their own gifts?

"Because we wanted to prepare something together to give to Xu Qi. If you were to figure it out yourselves, who knows what kind of mess you would end up with."

After Mei finished speaking, Mebius and Eden immediately turned their heads away guiltily.

Clearly, these two guys were determined from the start to compete fiercely even when it came to giving a gift.

"Actually... I do have an idea."

Wilvi's sudden speaking drew everyone's attention.

After all, this amazing magician always has some whimsical ideas.

Seeing everyone's gaze directed at her, Velvi cleared her throat and slowly stood up. She was naturally suited to be the center of attention.

"Actually, what Ellie and Paddo said earlier makes a lot of sense."

"what?"

Seeing the strange looks on everyone's faces, Vervi quickly said, "Don't be so hasty! It's not what you think. Besides, Xu Qi and I are completely innocent, why would I offer myself up?"

Well... before things got messy between him and Xu Qi, everyone thought they were innocent.

"In short, we all know that Xu Qi likes women, especially beautiful women, which is a man's nature. But what he likes even more are all of us."

Vervi's words made everyone purse their lips in silence, but their smiles were deep.

Aside from Greta.

The child stared blankly at Vervi, waiting for her to decide what to do.

"Fu Hua, I think I heard you mention before that Xu Qi seems to... really like the way you look in a Taoist robe?"

Fu Hua's face suddenly turned red!

She waved her hand and said, "Why are you bringing this up now, Vivi?"

"Hmph! This is where the inspiration comes from! Why don't we put on a special fashion show!?"

As soon as Vervi finished speaking, everyone present had their eyes light up!

Yeah! Xu Qi's favorite thing is uniforms!

Um... it just sounds a bit erotic.

But that's okay, the initial intention is still quite normal. To put on a fashion show, with everyone wearing their own carefully designed or selected gowns!

Show Xu Qi your most beautiful side...

Wow! ~~Vellvie! She's simply a genius!

Seeing that everyone had started daydreaming and whispering among themselves, Vilvi breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, she proposed this plan not for any other reason...

It's just that I feel most of the people discussing this are Xu Qi's women, and the discussion might end up turning into a private life exposé...

Vilvi couldn't stand these things, so she quickly threw out something to calm things down.

550. Clearly, the girls began their respective actions.

After the discussion, everyone was satisfied.

Moreover, out of the girl's romantic nature, everyone unanimously decided to make it a surprise.

It just so happens that I have to work on Christmas Day, and Xu Qi won't be able to get home until the evening. We can all take the day off together, go back to Golden Courtyard during the day to get ready, and there'll still be time.

"Oh? The women from outside the courtyard will also be coming. Should we inform them?"

"Of course, otherwise it would seem like we are being impolite and failing to treat our guests properly."

Since Eden had spoken in this way, everyone naturally nodded in agreement.

And so... everyone began to make plans for the upcoming Christmas.

······

"Rita?~~Rita?~~"

As Rita and Durandal were joking around before going to bed, Ellie suddenly knocked on their door, surprising them both.

"Ah! Durandal is here too..."

Yulandel, who moved into the Golden Courtyard with Rita, has settled in these past few days and is quite comfortable, except for the occasional feeling of being a guest.

After all, she only came in as Rita's friend.

What made her feel more comfortable was that everyone got along very well here. And there were more people, making it noisy and lively.

If she were asked to find an apartment to rent by herself now... Crowdfunding group 4⑤⑥①②⑦⑨40

I think it will take some getting used to.

"Aili, are you here to see Rita?"

"Um! That..."

Seeing the girl's slightly hesitant expression, Durandal understood. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I won't bother you any longer. By the way, Ellie, I'm really looking forward to your Christmas outfit."

“Haha…” Ellie scratched her head.
