We moved to Golden Courtyard

The process lasted quite a while before it ended, so much so that Fu Hua couldn't help coughing as soon as she left. There was still some saliva spilling from the corner of her mouth, which she hadn't had time to swallow.

Mei slapped away Xu Qi's mischievous hand, bent down, and patted Fu Hua's back with feigned concern, saying, "Are you alright, Hua? If you can't hold on, don't force yourself..."

Who are you being sarcastic about?

Xu Qi looked at Mei on the left and Fu Hua on the right, and suddenly realized... he would probably be busy until very late tonight before he could go to sleep.

······

“Shave your beard! Honestly, it seems impossible to expect you to take care of yourself.”

In the morning, in the bathroom, Ya Yi hadn't even had time to get dressed properly. She simply threw on a coat, not even buttoning it up, and hurriedly started helping Xu Qi get ready.

First and foremost, I need to be clean, so even though I had already showered last night, I showered again this morning. And most importantly, I need to shave my beard clean.

Xu Qi shaved in front of the mirror for two or three minutes, thinking he had cleaned it very well, but in Mei's eyes it was still full of flaws.

There was no other way but to take the razor and tidy up Xu Qi's hair again.

"I always feel like I'll become a useless person if I leave you."

"Don't talk! Be careful not to get scratched!"

Even the gentle Mei has a stern side.

Seeing the other person acting like... no, like a loving wife helping her husband with his clothes, Xu Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

The warmth of home.

614. Your brother-in-law is here today too!

East China University of Political Science and Law, this is the university Mei studied at.

Just across the street is Xu Qi's alma mater.

The last time I came here, I took Sakura around my alma mater and we had a fairly romantic date. But as for East China University of Political Science and Law... it seems like it's been a long time since I've been here.

During his time at East China University of Political Science and Law, Xu Qi would often visit the university.

The reason is simple—there are many girls, and the quality of the girls is high.

A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is wasting his life... You can skip dating, but you can't miss out on seeing girls.

It wasn't until he met Mei, who was still in high school, that Xu Qi gradually stopped going to East China University of Political Science and Law.

At that time, Mei was still very young and inexperienced. Because of school bullying, her temperament was somewhat melancholy, weak, and gloomy.

The Mei who is now brimming with youth and confidence is like a completely different person.

Xu Qi accompanied her throughout this journey of spiritual healing.

It can be said that she watched little by little as the other person regained the vitality that a young girl should have.

Hmm... but she's evolved a bit too fast. Now she not only has the vitality of a young girl, but also the charm of a mature woman and the allure of a married woman.

Xu Qi didn't want to say much.

The ring on her right ring finger confirms she's a married woman.

Walking along the winding river at East China University of Political Science and Law, the willows in February are just sprouting, and the bare branches are dotted with new green, creating a different kind of scenery.

The two held hands, and Xu Qi asked with a smile, "Are you going to wear this ring to class every day now?"

"Yeah? You gave it to me on Christmas Day, and I've been wearing it ever since. But not many people pay attention to it. It wasn't until near the end of the semester that some classmates asked me if I was already married."

Xu Qi barely suppressed a laugh—How eager are you to announce to the world that you're already taken?

"Actually, it's quite good. You don't know, once you put on a ring, people who want to chat you up will basically stop, and if they do, the way to deal with them is very simple."

"for example?"

“I’ll slap him away, after all, I’m a married woman.”

"..."

"Oh, just kidding~" Mei said with a smile, switching from holding hands to wrapping her arm around Xu Qi's. "I'm not that violent."

Xu Qi was already sweating profusely.

He had no doubt that Mei had the power to slap someone away; after all, she was a Newtype, and her physical changes were quite obvious.

However, this reminded Xu Qi of the last time he accompanied Mei to East China University of Political Science and Law.

Back then, people would sometimes come up to chat with him, only to be chased away by him himself...

Mei seemed to recall that experience as well, and chuckled, saying, "Back then, you weren't even my boyfriend."

Xu Qi scratched his head.

He never expected that when he accompanied Mei to her school again, the two of them had reached the point of discussing marriage and had even met each other's parents.

All that's left is for Mei to turn 20, then get a marriage certificate and have a wedding.

Half a year...

Life's encounters are truly wondrous.

Just because someone doesn't approach you doesn't mean... there won't be girls who approach you.

Of course, they weren't there to see Xu Qi.

"Mei-senpai! Um... can I take a picture with you?"

"Oh? Sure, no problem."

Since the beginning, three junior girls have already asked Mei to take photos with them, and each time Xu Qi has no choice but to act as the free photographer.

After taking another group photo, when I handed the phone back to the female classmate, I could clearly feel her excitement; her face was flushed, and she had even shaken hands with Mei before leaving.

She wouldn't go an entire day without washing her hands, would she...?

Xu Qi was astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your popularity is incredible! You weren't like this half a year ago!"

"Hmph~~ Of course, what do you think I've been doing for the past six months? I was the champion of last year's Shanghai Kendo Tournament! Do you understand the value of a champion?"

Xu Qi squinted.

So, you're a Newtype who bullies ordinary people?

But he still clapped his hands and cheered, "Wow~~ That's amazing~~"

"It feels so perfunctory."

"illusion."

"Oh right, we originally planned to have an intra-school friendly match last week, but the plan changed at the last minute. Seven schools in Songjiang, and other schools also wanted to come and participate, so... the scale has become a little larger."

"Oh?"

"The other six schools will all send their elites, so we at East China University of Political Science and Law will just send two people to host a quarterfinals competition. We've also invited professionals from outside the university—familiar faces, you know~~"

acquaintance?

"You'll find out when you get there. Oh, by the way, do you want to guess who Donghua sent?"

Xu Qi's expression tightened.

"Could it be Fu Hua...?"

"Hmph!" Mei said with a sneer, "What? You feel sorry for your sister now that it involves her?"

"How could that be!" Xu Qi would never make a mistake in this kind of deadly question and answer. He immediately hugged Mei and said, "I was worried that none of you would get hurt."

"Tch..." But Mei was already used to Xu Qi's womanizing ways.

"It's a real pity it wasn't Fu Hua. She specializes in free fighting. The person Donghua sent should be considered an outside helper in a strict sense."

Xu Qi was taken aback, then immediately widened his eyes and said, "Lin!?"

······

At this very moment, a group of young men and women with unfriendly expressions arrived at the main gate of the East China University of Political Science and Law campus.

The leader, wielding a long sword, had her long pink hair styled into twin ponytails, which, while cute, deliberately conveyed a grim and murderous expression.

It was clearly Donghua's ace up his sleeve—Yae Rin.

Perhaps only Fu Hua, walking beside Rin, had a calm expression, but...

"Um... everyone looks too tense. Relax a bit, we're not here to challenge you."

Rin immediately deflated, and the young people from the Donghua Kendo Club behind her also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seriously, Senior Fu Hua, didn't you say you were going to beat them to a pulp today?"

"That's right, Senior Fu Hua, you also said you wanted to show those guys from East China University of Political Science and Law what it means to be outmatched and have a higher level of understanding!"

"It made us think they were really here to challenge us."

Fu Hua: ...

Well, to be honest, she did seem to be here to cause trouble—that Mei girl… thinks she can just become my sister-in-law so easily? No way!

But these junior students seemed a little too serious, to the point that Fu Hua almost thought she was leading a gang of thugs out.

Huh? Then what am I? A female gang leader?

Rin also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she was going to fight Mei-senpai today, and her brother-in-law was definitely the main wife... The pressure was immense.

Seemingly sensing the girl's thoughts, Fu Hua patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, just focus on your attack. It's just a friendly match, your Mei-senpai isn't going to eat you."

Rin gave an awkward smile.

"And didn't you know that?"

"Know what?" Rin blinked her big eyes, looking very puzzled.

"Your brother-in-law was also watching the friendly match today from the stands."

Fighting spirit... instantly filled Rin's body!

615. Raiden Mei already has someone she loves!

Mei is already a star student at East China University of Political Science and Law.

Xu Qi had somewhat prepared for this before his arrival, but whether it was the many female students who would come to take photos with Mei after his arrival, or the current situation...

When Mei stepped into the gymnasium's preparation hall and met the members of the kendo club, Xu Qi had a momentary illusion—she was like the queen of this place!

"Greetings, Commander!"

The moment Mei appeared, she naturally became the center of attention and the object of admiration for everyone in the kendo club.

When she first joined the kendo club, everyone probably thought she was just a very good-looking junior who had some interest in kendo.

However, all these impressions naturally turned to dust after her few attempts at making a move.

As Mei said—the champion of the Shanghai Kendo Tournament.

And almost all of his opponents lost their will to fight and surrendered after just one sword strike.

It looks like a scene from a novel, but if you could personally face Mei's sword light, you might be able to empathize with it.

In short... Mei is terrifying.

So terrifying is that even though she seems very gentle in her daily life, at least in the kendo club, no one dares to treat her as a junior or junior anymore.

However, what caused some of the kendo club members to have their hearts stop today was...

A man appeared beside Captain Mei.

Although she had heard rumors that Mei was acquainted with a certain socialite and that the two had an ambiguous relationship, seeing it in person and witnessing their interactions was still quite a shock…

Who could have imagined that Mei, who gives off an aura of the supernatural, would hug and cuddle with a man in such a sweet and affectionate way?

This inevitably reminded the club members of the ring on Mei's ring finger after Christmas...

So the meaning that ring symbolizes is... really!?

"Today, we will have senior figures from outside the university visiting to offer guidance. Everyone, please maintain order in the venue and do not embarrass East China University of Political Science and Law. Do you understand?"
