We moved to Golden Courtyard

"is it?"

Xu Qi nodded frantically.

"Heh..." Mei stood up and released Xu Qi, a confident and domineering smile on her face.

"I remember now, I've seen her before, she was a pretty girl."

Xu Qi naturally understood the subtext of those words—"She's pretty enough," which meant she was nowhere near as pretty as Mei!

He quickly chimed in, "It's just average, not even close to my Mei's level."

Sitting on the sofa cushions behind Xu Qi, with her buttocks pressed against his back, Mei stretched out her hand, looked at the ring under the light, and struck a victorious pose.

Alicia, who came in later, couldn't help but pout—so annoying...

A short while later, everyone who returned to the living room did the same thing as Xu Qi—taking out their phones and starting to reply to and send messages.

Kevin was the fastest among them, and Xu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Boss Kevin, are you done sending them?"

"Hmm? Hmm... I set up a mini-program before the Lunar New Year that will automatically send New Year's greetings to people I'm on good terms with during the New Year's Eve.

Then, if I receive a blessing, it automatically replies with a blessing for me. It's very convenient.

How scary... Programmers are scary!

Bronya was quick to respond. Seeing Xu Qi's gaze fall upon her, she explained, "All I need to do is send Mr. Walter a Happy New Year message."

I understand. Now I just have to wait for someone else to send it to her, because she's the CEO.

As for whether Bronya will return or not...

Delta would definitely reply, but others might not.

Xu Qi is different. He just sent Delta a Happy New Year message, and the reply was—Big brother! Big brother! When will you be our brother-in-law?!

Xu Qi: ? ? ?

Fortunately, Delta replied, "Rosalia just snatched my phone. I'll keep this to myself, otherwise I'd turn you into a star after the New Year."

Ok……

To Xu Qi's surprise, Pado also sent messages for quite a while.

"Kitty, who are you texting this time?"

"Business partners".

Business?

Pado moved her phone screen in front of Xu Qi. The first message read, "Lord Righteous Thief, I've put ten thousand US dollars in the shoe cabinet by my front door. I hope you'll keep your promise and not expose my secret."

Well, they are indeed business partners.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm going to sleep now?"

"Okay, take care, goodnight."

Staggering back to his room, Xu Qi stretched and yawned, feeling that so much had happened that day.

But how to say it?

Although I was pushed forward by others, it was still a big step forward in my life!

Next, it's time to have a good night's sleep.

At the beginning of the year, people still need to visit relatives and friends, and for Xu Qi, Chief Engineer Xia is someone he absolutely must visit.

Then they also had to take Theresa to pay New Year's respects to Himeko.

In short, there's no peace and quiet even during the Chinese New Year...

At times like these, the most important thing is energy, energy!

The only way to replenish it is by getting a good night's sleep.

"So... Sister Sakura, when did you crawl into my bed?"

At this moment, Sakura was wearing a thin pink nightgown, which she probably changed into in Xu Qi's room. It was a good thing the air conditioning was on, or she would have frozen to death.

Seeing that Xu Qi had noticed her, she confidently propped herself up to the side, revealing her alluring figure.

You know, Sakura wasn't wearing a bra... but even so, her chest was still perky—it's illogical... but they really are perky!

The only explanation is that they are martial arts practitioners.

"I sneaked in before you noticed. It's a shame I didn't spend New Year's Eve at your house, but..." Sakura said in a flat tone, but her words were vulgar.

"Sleeping in bed together isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

I've been holding in my anger all night, and I feel like I'm about to explode.

"Sister Ying... Was I too nice to you all tonight?"

“How could this be…” Sakura smiled like a fox, and with a reach, she touched Xu Qi’s sword hilt. Coincidentally… Sakura was also a swordsman.

"Of course I know how wild our little Xu Qi is, so... isn't this just to let you let loose?"

As she spoke, Ying didn't even bother to pull Xu Qi onto the bed. Instead, she pulled down Xu Qi's trousers, revealing her true intentions.

Sakura could only see two fox ears, and she couldn't help but let them grow out of her head.

Xu Qi knew—Sister Ying wanted it.

He's been holding it in all night, from the start of the King's Game until now...

"Sister Ying, I've heard of a swordsmanship in your country called the Three-Sword Style, where you hold a sword with both hands while also biting another one in your mouth. Do you know how to do that?"

The little fox raised her head charmingly and rolled her eyes at Xu Qi, saying matter-of-factly, "Of course, and this Three-Sword Style... I learned it from you."

······

In the living room, after replying to the message, Möbius suddenly felt something was wrong—where was Sakura? It seemed like he hadn't seen her since she went back inside.

584. Adults tend to go to bed a little later.

Inside the bedroom, while outside Möbius was searching everywhere for Sakura with a puzzled expression...

She was sitting on Xu Qi's bed like a duck, slightly bent over, tending to his longsword.

Xu Qi, meanwhile, curiously played with the fox ears on the other person's head.

He knew... this place was the most sensitive for Sakura.

"No matter how many times, I must marvel at the professor's achievements in the field of biology... Sister Ying, your ears are really furry."

"Where do you usually hide them? They can't just be soft and limp in your hair all the time, can they?"

"Hmm...the professor said...that's a biological factor."

It looked like he had something in his mouth—no, he definitely had something in his mouth while talking to Xu Qi.

Biological factors—I don't understand.

It's like Xu Qi simply doesn't know how to explain how Mebius could transform from a mature, sophisticated woman into a petite, cute little girl.

And snake scales even grew on its body...

Xu Qi didn't understand, so he could only enjoy it.

Outside, Möbius grew increasingly uneasy—where had that little vixen gone? He couldn't find her anywhere in the house. Ha, she couldn't possibly be on Xu Qi's bed already, could she? That would be truly…

Mebius was taken aback.

That's absolutely right...

A cold light shone from Mebius's serpentine eyes.

With an aura of blackness emanating from his body, Mebius slowly walked into Xu Qi's room.

There's no need to press your ear against the door to listen; for Möbius, enhanced hearing is enough to hear everything inside—let me hear how things are progressing.

"Sakura...it feels so good, I'm almost there..."

"Uh...uh..."

Pooh!

Those two scoundrels!

Without saying a word, Mebius opened the door, and the scene inside was exactly what he expected—utterly absurd!

On the night of the bright moon over the Twenty-Four Bridges, where is the beautiful woman...?

Xu Qi panicked. His eyes widened as he tried to cover them up, but he found himself at a loss.

"Teach!...Professor!?"

Sakura appeared much calmer. She even glanced at Mebius with a defiant look in her eyes before swallowing deeply.

"Well!"

Mebius was almost furious!

How dare they do that to her face!

Being under the professor's gaze was already stimulating enough, but Sakura's action undoubtedly intensified that stimulation.

In that instant, he surrendered...

"Cough!...Cough!"

Sakura stepped back, feigning displeasure, and said, "Next time, give me some time to prepare..."

You were clearly trying to disarm me on purpose!

Xu Qi suppressed his urge to complain, quickly got dressed, ran to the door, and pulled Mebius's hand to enter.

"You only remembered me after you were done having fun?"

"Snake, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Mebius narrowed his snake-like eyes, looked at Sakura who was wiping her mouth, and sneered repeatedly.

"A vixen is a vixen; she only dares to eat in secret. Why don't you tell everyone that Xu Qi is yours tonight?"

Sakura casually tossed the restaurant paper aside and said nonchalantly, "Didn't you come alone too?"

"you!……"

Xu Qi didn't interrupt, but watched the two women bickering with a playful look, after all, he knew that Mebius and Sakura were just arguing.

Furthermore, he knew about the crowdfunding group 456127940, where arguments like this usually escalate to the point where…

Xu Qi will be the one who benefits.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Xu Qi with words, Mebius suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Qi by the collar.

Ugh?

He then threw her onto the bed.

"professor?"

"After trying to persuade Xu Qi's parents for a long time without success, I thought I'd just take advantage of Xu Qi all night on New Year's Eve?"

Mebius climbed onto the bed, sat on Xu Qi, and looked down at him with disdain, as if he were looking at trash.

"You too, you just believe whatever your sister Ying says? Hiding in your room and sneaking around eating, you don't think I was just cursing that vixen, do you?"

Xu Qi chuckled and raised his hands above his head, indicating surrender.

Mebius suddenly let out a painful groan, and then his body gradually shrank, his snake scales surging as if forming an exquisite and bewitching coat.

The vertical lines in her pupils suddenly opened, and her petite figure allowed Mebius to do many things.

For example... she bent her legs together and stepped on Xu Qi's chest.

"When we were playing King's Game outside just now, I saw you kiss Rita's toes... To be honest, you seemed pretty happy about it, didn't you?"

Xu Qi's eyes narrowed! The professor wouldn't be going to...

Smooth little feet, stretching all the way down the chest.

The toes tapped lightly on Xu Qi's chin.
