We moved to Golden Courtyard

I felt like Seele was about to cry from what she said.

"No, Seele just looks weak and frail, so she always gives people the illusion that she's about to cry, but in reality she's very strong inside. She's just a little... wanting to be bullied."

Ellie's eyes widened immediately!

"Ugh! Xu Qi! You're not allowed to bully Xi'er!"

Xu Qi raised his hands in surrender.

"Of course I wouldn't do that! I'm not a pervert..."

"Hehe?~~ And there's more! The three people we met later were also very interesting. Let me think... One of them wants to participate in the Cycling Race around Chongming Island, so he's been practicing a lot lately!"

There was another young lady, quite sentimental, who said that seeing the leaves falling from the trees along the street in winter made her heart wither too, so she didn't want to paint anymore—how strange!

There's also a stunningly beautiful woman in ancient costume, so alluring! She said she's been thinking about men lately, so the drawing isn't very good—what exactly is the job of an illustrator...?

Why does it feel like there's not a single normal person here?

"Pfft!" Xu Qi spat out the mouthful of water he had just drunk onto the ground.

"Xu Qi?"

"Uh...cough! No...it's nothing. What's the name of this last person?"

"Liu Qi, Delta calls her Teacher Liu. She seems to be the one who makes Delta feel the most helpless out of the four of them. The two of them start bickering as soon as they meet, which is quite interesting."

No wonder...

"Isn't that interesting?"

"Mmm! ?~~ So much fun!" She clapped her hands excitedly, then slumped into Xu Qi's arms, looking exhausted, and stuck out her tongue, saying, "But I'm still so tired..."

"Interesting things can make people feel an urgent need to keep going even when they are tired."

It wasn't because of work that I had to do it, but because I knew in my heart that it was something I wanted to do.

The real feeling of fatigue is undoubtedly impossible to eliminate, but it can be temporarily numbed. You might think Delta isn't tired, but in reality, she's simply trying to be in good condition to complete the rest of her work.

Alicia seemed to be deep in thought.

"And another thing... I've heard you say that, and I've also heard Sister Eden say that before you met Eden, you were traveling all over the world, seeing many landscapes and meeting many people."

However, so-called travel might simply be about meeting some people and experiencing some things in a certain place, which will eventually become the past, but that's somewhat superficial...

Stop in one place, and get to know the people there properly. I think you probably haven't tried Golden Courtyard a second time.

Ellie's expression seemed somewhat serious.

"You know, a person may not even understand their own nature in their entire life, let alone someone else's. You said you wanted to write a book, to depict a world, to depict a paradise."

"I don't know exactly what you're going to write, but your master only knows one thing—" Xu Qi held up a finger in front of Ai Li, "Writing a book starts with writing about the person, understand?"

When writing a book, start by writing about the people...

Ai Li stared at Xu Qi's fingers, her expression somewhat dazed.

people……

"Xu Qi..."

"Ok?"

"Perhaps meeting you is truly a very important thing for me..."

Xu Qi chuckled, "What are you talking about? It applies to me too!"

Being able to complement each other is truly the most beautiful form of love in the world...

······

In the following days, Xu Qi would occasionally hand over some trivial writing work to Aili, and Delta continued to take Aili with her on her runs.

According to Delta, the newcomer needs to be trained and mentored.

I have a feeling that if I continue like this, I'll turn Alicia into a production assistant instead of a scriptwriter.

However, Xu Qi remained calm and unhurried.

After all, he never intended for Ellie to actually become a screenwriter or writer from the beginning.

His purpose was never these things...

So what is it?

Just like the question Ellie asked at the beginning—Xu Qi, why do you want me to work?

Now that Ellie had a vague answer, she asked, "Is it because you want me to observe people more? Like you said, when writing a book, start with people."

But Xu Qi still smiled and shook his head.

So, in her anger, Ellie could only vent her frustration on Xu Qi in bed at night.

Although she's still so bad at the game... she still loves to have fun.

It's tough on the other girls in the courtyard. Since Xu Qi can't be completely satisfied with Ai Li, he naturally has to find someone else.

I don't know if this counts as suffering or enjoyment...

After thinking about it for a few days, Ellie gave up—anyway, Xu Qi would definitely tell her when the time was right, so she'd deal with it then.

An optimistic girl truly radiates happiness to those around her at all times.

613. As a younger sister, of course I should make my older brother happy.

Up until after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth of the lunar month, nothing major seemed to have happened in the days following the New Year.

Ellie went to work as usual, and the Alahato Seed project was progressing steadily.

Xu Qi felt that his life was very stable.

Perhaps the only unsettling factor comes from Cocolia, who has already gone into hiding.

Rita also said that entropy reversal has actually been dormant for a long time.

Aside from the last time when they spent a lot of manpower and resources, risking being discovered by the Shanghai police, to hunt down Kafka, they basically haven't shown their faces since.

Durandal never received any further missions from Schicksal.

Xu Qi heard the news, but that was all he heard about it.

After all, Dr. Mei is currently making all the arrangements, and Xu Qi is willing to let her take control of everything.

I feel a little apologetic towards that bishop of destiny whom I've never met.

After all, she had managed to turn his strongest fighter, Durandal, or Bianca Atagina, against him, either directly or indirectly.

After Rita confessed to herself that day, Durandal's identity naturally came to light.

However, compared to Rita, Bianca was more open when facing Xu Qi, since she seemed to have never intended to hide anything.

Rita was simply preventing her from telling the truth.

“I will protect Rita’s happiness, so I can help solve any problems that come from destiny. But in return… you must not let Rita down.”

"Of course!"

Then, less than a day later, Durandal started staring at her phone every day again, sending messages.

Rita wanted to go see it, but was actually refused!

angry……

Is this how you protect my happiness?!

Once upon a time, they were as close as sisters, so what privacy could they possibly have? It's obvious without even thinking that they were chatting with Xu Qi!

They're probably just chatting about random, nonsensical things again; they love doing that kind of thing.

I'll sneak a peek at Xu Qi's phone someday.

It's good that life is more peaceful, so Xu Qi has more time to spend with his girls.

For example, Theresa...

During the Chinese New Year, they finally got closer to each other. Someone like Xu Qi, who can be called a veteran in the world of romance, would he let this opportunity pass by?

Sometimes when Theresa gets off work late, she will find Xu Qi waiting for her in the living room.

Although he might say it nonchalantly, he'd say something like, "Why aren't you going to see your girlfriend this late? What are you doing waiting here?"

However, only she herself knows the joy she feels inside.

She's incredibly arrogant.

To deal with a girl like this, you need to be more proactive.

So whenever there's a situation like this, and there's Theresa being stubborn, Xu Qi would step forward, pick her up, and then give Theresa's cherry-like lips a big kiss.

He kissed little Theresa so hard she made a "woo-woo" sound.

Couples...

Let's start by cultivating the skills through kissing.

Of course, he absolutely couldn't forget what he had promised the girl.

For example... we agreed a few nights ago that next Thursday we would go to visit the intramural kendo friendly match held by Mei School.

"Then will you take me to school tomorrow?"

At this moment, Xu Qi sat on the edge of the bed, and Mei Yi was lying on his shoulder. Her naked body, under the bright moonlight, was like the finest jade.

She looked down and saw Fu Hua still with the same white hair as Chi Ling, her head bowed.

Upon hearing Mei's words, Fu Hua couldn't help but glance upwards before continuing her actions.

After doing it so many times, I've almost lost all sense of shame.

Besides, isn't it a sister's duty to make her brother happy?

Hmm... I guess only Fu Hua, as the younger sister, thinks this way.

"Okay, I'll take Fu Hua to class first tomorrow, and then we'll go to East China University of Political Science and Law together, since you don't have class in the morning anyway."

Mei raised an eyebrow, pinched Xu Qi's chin, and said, "You really spoil your sister..."

After saying that, Fu Hua worked even harder and gave Mei a provocative look.

It seems... my sister and sister-in-law don't get along very well.

Mei didn't mind. After all, she was her younger sister... so she should be more accommodating. Once she and Xu Qi got their marriage certificate, she would have to start calling Fu Hua "younger sister."

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Mei couldn't help but glance at the ring on her right hand, feeling a thrilling sensation that made her very soul tremble.

No... that's not enough...

So he turned Xu Qi's face and kissed him deeply on the lips!

Fu Hua's eyes widened—this is too much!?

They kissed until they both felt a little breathless before Mei finally released Xu Qi.

Face-to-face NTR, that's true comfort.

"You can't leave me then, unless I go on stage to compete. Otherwise, you have to stay with me the whole time, understand? Also, dress nicely, don't be sloppy."

Xu Qi said helplessly, "You can dress however you like tomorrow morning, that shouldn't cause any problems, right?"

Mei gently kissed Xu Qi's forehead, took Xu Qi's hand, and covered her snow-white skin with it.

"I'll give you a surprise tomorrow."

"Really? I'm hoping for a surprise tonight."

Fu Hua was furious—what did she mean? Showing off their love in front of me? Is that really okay?

So they continued forward...

"Hiss!~~"

I really couldn't resist the thrill...
