We moved to Golden Courtyard

"I do...I do...Of course I do!"

Almost the instant the words were spoken, the cannons fired, countless flowers rained down, and Ellie quietly stepped aside to join everyone in clapping and blessing the newlyweds.

This is certainly not a wedding, but it is the inevitable result of all beautiful feelings, and a marriage proposal... is the first step that countless people take when they muster up the courage to do so.

In fact, even the outcome of the marriage proposal was inevitable.

But after hearing Mei say "I do" three times, Xu Qi...

Yet, I couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

He took Mei's delicate hand that she offered.

The diamond ring, symbolizing purity and eternity, was placed on Mei's right ring finger.

A gentle kiss...

At that moment, Mei could no longer restrain herself, pulled Xu Qi up, and kissed him.

The applause from all around was the most touching accompaniment to this marriage proposal ceremony.

"Do you like it? It's my Christmas present for you."

"I'll never forget this day. The day you proposed to me was December 25th."

"Life is long ahead of us, and there will only be more and more unforgettable days ahead of us. We will get married, have children, and grow old together. Mei... I love you."

"Mmm... I love you, Xu Qi."

This must be what it means to be enveloped by all the good things in the world...

Mei is very fortunate to have met Xu Qi and to have been saved by him.

Even if there are many troubles behind happiness, but...

She still likes Xu Qi so much!

At that moment, Gretchen, barefoot, took a bunch of blue roses from the room and handed them to Mei.

"This is?"

"Xu Qi said that if he sees Mei crying today, he should give you a bouquet of flowers so that Mei won't cry anymore."

A warm feeling flowed through her heart. Mei patted little Gretchen's head and gave Xu Qi a charmingly flirtatious glare.

"Did you inform everyone beforehand? How come I was the only one who didn't know?"

"No, apart from this bouquet of flowers, everything else was prepared on the spot."

"Hehe? I can vouch for that!"

Alicia quietly approached Mei from behind and placed the wreath on her head.

Miss Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, smiled and said, "The cannons and flower showers were originally meant to celebrate the end of the Christmas party, but I felt the atmosphere was just right, so I set them off ahead of schedule."

As for the piano music...

"Mei, I bet you're the only one who didn't realize that Xu Qi's grand finale gift was a marriage proposal to you."

"Huh? Is...is that so?"

Seeing Mei's surprisingly adorable and innocent side, everyone smiled with delight.

Even Sister Ying couldn't help but tease, "Next, are we going to send the newlyweds to their bridal chamber?"

Mei was mortified, her face turning bright red.

"Sister Ying, please stop teasing me. This is a marriage proposal... Besides, I'm not old enough to get married yet..."

Airi couldn't help but poke Mei's little cheek and said with a grin, "Mei must be looking forward to April 13th the year after next."

"You little rascal, Ellie, are you just making fun of me?"

"Hehehe~~ You should think about how to deal with Xu Qi tonight first~~"

After Ellie finished speaking, the experienced woman naturally smiled knowingly.

The young girls who hadn't yet understood, like Mei, all had faces full of shyness.

I guess only older sisters like Himeko, or Eden.

Only then can one sigh with emotion at a time like this...

"It's so good to be young..."

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Fu Xian'er glanced at her beloved disciple, patted Fu Hua's head, and whispered, "Later, we'll hold a wedding for you and Xu Qi at Mount Taixu."

"Master!...Master, what are you saying! I'm ignoring you..."

Shi Bao rested his hands on the back of his head and shook his head involuntarily.

"Xu kid pulled this stunt today, I don't know how many girls' hearts were pounding just now."

yes?

After all... who wouldn't look forward to their own marriage proposal and wedding?

If Xu Qi could give Mei such a natural and inevitable ceremony, then naturally... he would do the same for them too...

But who will be next? That remains to be seen.

Mei is the rightful queen, and no one can take her away from her.

So who will be the second oldest?

Sakura revealed a confident expression, Snake covered her mouth with a hint of smugness in her eyes, and Rita lowered her eyes appropriately to conceal the sharpness in them.

Only Alicia is still shipping Mei and Xu Qi as a couple.

Locked!

559. Are Xu Qi's Christmas gifts still coming?

For Mei, the most romantic thing in the world is being proposed to by Xu Qi. If there's anything more romantic than that... perhaps it's the wedding that hasn't even started yet.

As for that night in Guangcheng...

That's a dark history.

Of course, it's a dark history that Mei should cherish for a lifetime.

Occasionally, she would take it out of her memory and look at it, which would make her happy for an entire afternoon.

But if someone else wants to bring it up, then that won't work.

In response, five-star general MacArthur commented, "Those were mistakes made when I was young."

With the proposal over, Xu Qi had finally sent out all the gifts to the girls. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

After all, this isn't a gift that can be bought with money casually.

Each one was made with care.

There were about ten things in total. Do you think being a playboy is so easy?

The party continued, and especially after experiencing the romance of Mei being proposed to, the girls were all in high spirits.

Xu Qi received a call from Kosmo.

"Xu Qi, I... just finished shopping with Desmondia and am now planning to take her home."

"Oh... okay? Be careful on the road."

"Um……"

A long silence fell on the other end of the phone, and Xu Qi patiently didn't hang up immediately.

"But it seems a bit late, and the subway has stopped running."

Xu Qi glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. It seemed he had missed the last bus.

"Sir, you can drive..."

"No."

"But……"

"No cars available."

"..."

"What are you thinking? Why don't you and that girl book two rooms and make do for one night? It's not like you can only book one room at a hotel."

But if it were me, I would definitely only book one room—Xu Qi thought to himself.

I'm really going further and further down the path of being a scumbag.

At the very least, we must not corrupt Kosmo.

"……All right."

The phone hangs up.

Just then, Sister Ying walked slowly towards us.

Holding two glasses of red wine, he handed one to Xu Qi and clinked glasses with it.

Whose call was that just now?

"Kosmo... I reckon the little guy's in a relationship, he went to a hotel with a female classmate."

Sakura's hand trembled.

Xu Qi quickly explained, "It's not that outrageous. I told him to book two rooms and put the bill on my tab. If I really encouraged him to do that kind of thing at his age, Sister Eden would definitely kill me."

Sakura sighed – even now, the only reason she doesn't kill you is because Eden spoils you enough.

Were you this flirtatious in high school too?

It makes it sound like I'm some kind of womanizer...

Oh, she's certainly quite the ladies' man now.

Xu Qi pursed his lips and sighed.

"How could that be... Not to mention high school, I was very innocent in college. I did have girls pursue me, but I never had a relationship. It's not necessarily true that youth has to include romance."

That's true.

In this golden courtyard, almost everyone's youth was devoid of love.

They are either struggling to make a living or risking their lives for their ideals.

No one has it easy.

“And if we take it seriously…” Xu Qi looked at Ying with feigned sorrow.

“You also have to take some responsibility for how I ended up like this.”

Sakura smiled indifferently.

"I was simply a bit too decisive and didn't hesitate. So, what do you want to say to the first woman in your life?"

Indeed, Sakura was the woman who took Xu Qi's virginity.

Looking at her now, her graceful figure was dressed in a slightly transparent purple evening gown.

I wonder what it will be like to wear this outfit to bed...

"Oh my god, who is this? Isn't this that philandering fox? The first time something like this happened... How dare you bring it up, Sakura?"

Even though we get along well on a daily basis and are considered friends.

But when it comes to Xu Qi, Mebius's eyes always seem to carry a hint of danger.

Especially something like being the first to drink the soup—I could tolerate it if it were Mei, but who are you? If Sakura can get to drink Xu Qi's first soup, why can't I!?

Is it just because I'm a little awkward?!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Sakura squinted, put down her wine glass, and wrapped her arm around Xu Qi's right hand.

"Professor, is it not permissible for me to mention what has already happened?"

"No~~" With her snake eyes wide open, Mebius wrapped her arms around Xu Qi's other side, and with a light flick of her finger at his chin, she forced Xu Qi to turn his head and look at the professor beside him.
