We moved to Golden Courtyard

Damn it! How can you not understand such a simple principle!

Mei... you've been slacking off...

Aponia! You tricked me!

······

As Pado said, what else—she just came out to see what other religions are like? Aponia really racked her brains to come up with such a reason.

People are too bored to leave the temple, so how can we miss such a good opportunity?

Once Xu Qi and I are alone... what he does next is not something Xu Qi can decide.

This is the real deal – a master planner!

The only thing that bothered Aponia was that Xu Qi was just too childish...

Who would grow up like that and still like to eat from that kind of place?

In that tree hollow in the church.

Aponia lay half-reclined on her usual nap bed, wearing her rather distinctive nun's habit, but without her tight black underwear.

This rather risqué outfit was naturally Xu Qi's request.

Milk foam... of course, you should just open the lid and eat it.

"Enduring that extremely strange and intense feeling," Aponia said in a trembling voice.

"I sent you here to cleanse your sins, not to have lunch... Xu Qi."

601. I will unveil Rita's veil of mystery.

Once the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is over, everyone will basically be preparing to return to their normal routines.

Take Aponia, for example. Yesterday at the church, she spent another shameless afternoon with Xu Qi. Several times she almost succumbed to his skillful techniques and techniques.

They were clearly trying to cleanse each other of their sins, but instead they sank deeper and deeper into it.

If it weren't for the last shred of reason that told Aponia that she couldn't let Xu Qi take her body so easily, she probably would have lost her virginity in the church yesterday.

"Sister Nia, why are you always so resistant? We're doing things that even many couples wouldn't do."

The words were not a complaint, but simply a expression of curiosity.

Whenever Aponia heard this question, she would just smile and tell Xu Qi.

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer..."

Xu Qi wasn't in a hurry, and this actually added to his enjoyment.

For example, deliberately circling around the doorway to make Aponia look panicked.

Xu Qi was quite happy to play such pranks.

Her personality is quite awful...

Aside from Aponia, Theresa also immediately threw herself into her work.

Himeko had already covered many shifts for her, and this job meant that Theresa wouldn't have much time to rest.

Fortunately, she now has the most important support she needs.

For Xu Qi, his vacation is also almost over.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he would occasionally go to the company with Bronya and Rita.

During this time, Xu Qi also received some news from Su that was neither good nor bad—Kafka and the other two were now ready to be questioned.

We're doing some simple recovery exercises now.

Last year during the National Day holiday, these two people, who claimed to have escaped from Anti-Entropy, came to Golden Courtyard seeking refuge. Eden and Su arranged their subsequent treatment and recuperation.

However, many things happened afterward, so I haven't been able to pay attention to these two people.

Or perhaps, Xu Qi was subconsciously avoiding the situation.

There are some secrets he may not be suited to know.

"But we have to face it eventually."

"Facing what?"

Xu Qi smiled and shrugged without answering. Su understood—it must be someone who was particularly important to Xu Qi that made him so hesitant.

"Then let's set off."

So, following Su, the two arrived at a rural area in Pudong, Shanghai, where a small bungalow stood in a deserted area by the sea.

"Is this also Eden's territory?"

"It's a safe house. Eden and I discussed it and decided to place them here for treatment. Once the treatment is complete, this place will be abandoned."

Xu Qi naturally understood this.

Once a safe house has been activated, it will not be activated again.

Xu Qi seemed somewhat surprised when he saw the woman named Kafka again.

Unexpectedly, Su's so-called rehabilitation training actually refers to something as simple as walking while holding onto a railing.

It's hard to imagine that this mysterious and beautiful woman can only walk slowly while wearing a hospital gown and holding onto rehabilitation equipment in the open space outside.

There was also an empty wheelchair next to it.

“When she came to Golden Courtyard, she only looked to be in good condition, but in fact, the injury to her leg was quite serious, so I brought her here for surgery.”

I spent most of the first three months in the hospital bed, and Eden Hospital hired a caregiver to help take care of me.

Seeing Xu Qi looking thoughtful, Su smiled.

"Not everyone is like you, suffering such terrible injuries, yet only needing to lie in bed for a month to get out of bed and fully recover."

Kafka's leg muscles have atrophied severely, and even with my and Mebius's treatment methods, it will take some time for her to return to her previous level.

"It seems I really can't be considered human anymore."

Xu Qi stepped forward, and Kafka had clearly noticed him long ago. She was wearing a hospital gown and had her hands on the railing, subconsciously adopting a guarded posture.

"Your posture is good, but unfortunately you no longer have the strength to perform."

Kafka gave a wry smile.

"I originally thought it was just some minor injury... Did you only think of coming to find me today?"

"Yeah, I was busy with a lot of things before and forgot about you."

Kafka's mouth was slightly open. Even disregarding her identity as a traitor to Anti-Entropy, would a beauty like her be so easily ignored by Xu Qi?

Kaffa was quite confident in her own charm.

Seeing her surprised expression, Xu Qi laughed out loud.

"Just kidding, but I really haven't had time for you guys..."

Seeing that Xu Qi looked normal, Su said, "You two chat, I'll go check on the little one inside and see how it is."

"Her name is Brownie, doctor. While we are all very grateful to you, please remember her name."

"Well, I see."

I don't know if Su remembered it or not.

"Clearly, Su doesn't actually want to save you."

Kafka quietly revealed a smile.

“I know… in an organization like Anti-Entropy, countless lives have been taken, and I have never intended to excuse my crimes.”

Xu Qi recalled that night when, relying on his physical strength, he easily subdued Kafka, and afterwards, he never heard from her again.

Reverse entropy...

This organization funded Char Aznable's actions, which led to the 956 Incident. It was also this organization that cultivated a large number of cult forces in Guangcheng, and was ultimately intercepted over Guangcheng.

Xu Qi seemed to understand something.

"What have you done? Crowdfunding group: 456127940"

"The ambush that Anti-Entropy encountered in Guangcheng was something I orchestrated."

"Are you an undercover agent?"

Kafka shook her head.

"You can't exactly tell me now—'I didn't have a choice before, and now all I want to do is be a good person,' can you?"

Kafka shook her head again.

"I just wanted to bury Cocolia with my own hands, but I failed. After that, Brownie and I were naturally hunted down by Anti-Entropy."

Xu Qi squinted, his expression quite complicated.

"Why this expression? No matter what, I was a participant in the 956 incident, and thousands of families were almost torn apart because of me."

"Someone as noble as you, someone who values ​​life so highly, should naturally despise me, shouldn't they?"

"First of all, I am not noble, and secondly... it is not a matter of course to dislike you."

Kafka didn't speak, but silently watched Xu Qi.

Xu Qi, looking down at the woman in front of him, was also observing her closely.

"I saved you because you had a chance to kill me that night, but you didn't."

Kafka curled her lip—her sharpness was unbelievable.

"And there's another reason."

"what?"

“Tell me everything about you and Cocolia, and…” Xu Qi stepped forward, looking at the woman in front of him with an oppressive gaze, who needed a handrail to support herself even when she was standing.

"On the night of National Day, the moment Rita saw you, she subconsciously gave you an evasive look, and although you hid it well, you also subconsciously glanced at Rita a few more times."

Tell me everything about you and Rita.

At that moment, Kafka felt as if she were standing naked in front of Xu Qi, with no secrets whatsoever.

Xu Qi... he actually knows everything.

602. Su: You should make good use of the advantage of having many girlfriends.

After Su finished examining Brownie, who was playing games in his hospital bed, she sat quietly in the living room of the small house for a while. When she felt it was about time, she left the room.

Xu Qi and Kafka seem to be finishing their conversation as well.

Kafka's expression, however, looked somewhat strange—a mixture of disbelief, envy, regret, and resentment.

In short, it's very complicated.

"You're so good to her..."

"That's all I should do. From now on, you're mine."

Perhaps it was this brief conversation that allowed Kafka and Xu Qi to establish a preliminary relationship of trust. The woman smiled and said with a hint of teasing.

"A man says to a woman—'You're mine now...'"

Xu Qi did not show any embarrassment.

He could feel shy when teased by the older sister in the courtyard, but when facing Kaffa—he had to always be in a dominant position.

Otherwise, if you're not careful... this woman will find a way to control you.

Xu Qi's gaze then shifted from Kafka's face to her full breasts.

The intense aggression in her gaze made Kafka instinctively reach out to cover herself.

"If you talk to me like that again, I'll really do it to you."

"..."

Su Yijiu, with her ever-present squinty eyes and ever-present smile, stepped forward.
