We moved to Golden Courtyard

How can I not be anxious? Only if you take her in will I have the chance to rush in while you and Delta are enjoying your time together, right in front of this woman! To play with her man!

This feels like being cuckolded in front of someone's face... No, I can't think about it!

Just thinking about it is enough to give Sakura a mental orgasm.

You want me to forgive her? Dream on!

If we don't teach this woman a lesson, she'll really think Xu Qi is easy to bully.

Of course, these words could not be said to Xu Qi.

Sakura then said, "I'm not doing this out of concern for you, but for your own good. Sometimes you just have to be decisive. Don't overthink it, just follow your instincts."

"Really...really?"

Sakura thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt that... today might be a great opportunity!

“Alright, Xu Qi, as long as you bring Delta down, I will immediately have a heart-to-heart talk with her and forgive her for what she did before. Otherwise… I’m afraid it will be very difficult for me to forgive her for what she did before.”

Is this even possible?!

Xu Qi smiled wryly—Sister Ying is pushing herself to the limit…

However... there's nothing wrong with admitting it. Xu Qi likes Delta, but aside from liking her inner qualities, he really doesn't have any intention of having a relationship with Delta.

That's impossible! He's not a saint!

Rather, I really want to... After all, Delta-senpai is small, soft, and fragrant.

Cough!

It seems... I should probably make a trip to Delta.

673. Can't answer? You'll be punished if you can't answer!

"Mei, where's Sakura? I haven't seen her. I wanted to show her how my dress looks today!"

As she spoke, Ellie spun around in the same way.

Her pink dress fluttered in the breeze, and beneath the cherry blossoms, it was the cherry blossoms themselves that accentuated Alice's beauty.

However, Mei wasn't interested anymore. She glanced up and said indifferently.

"Sakura? Forget about her, she's probably having a good time right now."

"Ugh?"

Ellie tilted her head, and after a moment's thought, she noticed something was wrong—where was Xu Qi?!

"You didn't just notice this now, did you...?"

"Me! Me! Me! ...Of course not! I've been wanting to ask this for a long time, where's Xu Qi?"

"Being with Sakura."

Ellie nodded in realization.

"What about Sakura?"

"With Xu Qi."

"Are you kidding me!"

Mei laughed so hard her shoulders trembled, and she said teasingly.

“Didn’t you see? I was leading you forward the whole time, and every time little Gretsch ran in a certain direction, Aponia would stop her.”

Alicia's mouth gaped open, her face filled with shock.

"But this is...!"

Is anyone else around?

"No……"

Mei shrugged. "Isn't that great? Private territory, the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, they really know how to have fun."

Airi gave Mei a strange look.

"Aren't you going to stop him? After all, Xu Qi is still in the recovery period. You've been keeping a close watch on him, even when I sometimes wanted to... um... it's nothing."

Mei pretended not to hear—Alicia, that little fox, was practically wagging her tail high.

"Xu Qi already reported this to me last night."

"Huh?" Airi was surprised. So Mei was controlling Xu Qi to this extent? She even had to report before doing something like this?

Do we have to wait for Mei to stamp it and then issue an official document?

"What are you thinking? I was the one who gave him the idea. Sakura and Delta don't get along very well, so I suggested that Xu Qi try to persuade them."

Then I thought, Sakura dislikes Delta because Delta did something harmful to Xu Qi, but what if Sakura herself did the same?

"I understand, Sakura did it too."

"Yes, I did it too."

"Hmm?~~" Airi nodded with a smile, then realized something was wrong. She turned her head and saw Sakura standing behind her with a cold face.

Her geisha attire made her resemble a still-attractive proprietress in a kabuki theater, except with a cold expression and an air of menace that seemed ready to strike at any moment.

Scary...

"So what did I do?"

Ellie's lips twitched slightly, and she quickly pointed to the side.

"Mei said it!...Huh!? Where's Mei!?"

Xu Qi, who was standing to the side, was laughing so hard his stomach hurt. Why was the pink-haired girl making things difficult for him?

Yes... Looking at it this way, in order for Sakura to accept Delta as soon as possible and to maintain good relationships between everyone, this time... I'm afraid I'll have to take the initiative myself.

······

After returning from his afternoon outing, Xu Qi sat back in his wheelchair and slowly made his way to his "hospital room." Before he even got close, the sounds coming from inside could be heard first.

"No, how can I not see it? Look, if we add these auxiliary lines here, doesn't it become clearer?"

"I don't know, I can't understand."

Ah... here we go again. Because she needs to rest after the surgery, she definitely can't attend classes, but Delta will help Lilia bring home the homework the teacher assigns every day.

English and Chinese are okay, I can learn them on my own, but math... is a bit difficult.

"My sister is an idiot."

"How am I an idiot?! You just weren't listening carefully."

"Waaah..."

This has led to the current situation where people argue every few days, and everyone has gotten used to it.

"Ah... Brother Xu Qi."

Delta shuddered and turned around, just in time to see Xu Qi coming in from outside in a wheelchair. However, she quickly realized that Lilia's favorability towards Xu Qi was actually higher than her own at this moment!

His gaze was somewhat complicated; he wasn't sure whether he should be happy about it.

"Lilia, what's wrong? Did your sister yell at you again?"

Xu Qi gave Delta a subtle look to reassure her, then went to Lilia's bedside and glanced at her problem—a geometry problem.

"Hmm... Lilia, do you still remember how to do this problem? Do you have a solution in mind?"

Lilia shook her head expressionlessly.

Xu Qi used an eraser to erase the auxiliary lines that Delta had helped draw.

"Let's do it again then. Don't worry about what your sister just said. Just do it your own way. Let's see how to do this problem, okay?"

Lilia, whose expression was usually expressionless, surprisingly smiled a little, and nodded obediently.

"okay."

Seeing that Lilia had started thinking again, Xu Qi stopped disturbing her and went to Delta's side. He saw that the petite girl was pursing her lips and had an indescribable complex expression on her face.

It sounded like relief? Or perhaps a little jealousy.

"You and Lilia are really close."

"Lilia is actually very sensible, you just need to be more patient with her."

"What about Rosalia?"

Xu Qi immediately put on a stern face.

"A beating will do the trick."

Delta chuckled, but quickly covered her mouth so as not to disturb Lilia's work.

"Sometimes I really feel like I'm no good at anything... In Golden Courtyard, I can always find something about these girls that I'm better at than myself, which is a little... discouraging."

"is it?"

Xu Qi touched his chin.

"Then why not try to find some of other people's flaws? And then comfort yourself—oh, at least I'm better than her in this respect."

“How can that be?” Delta retorted to Xu Qi with dissatisfaction. “A person who can only tolerate the shortcomings of others will never improve.”

Xu Qi smiled – Delta, do you know that just having these characteristics is already excellent enough?

"Let me put it another way. Look at yourself through the same lens you use to look at other people. Do you think... you have any outstanding qualities?"

"I……"

"Think it over carefully~~ If you answer incorrectly, you'll be punished."

Delta immediately blushed and said, "How can there be a standard answer to something like this? It's not even an answer I gave myself!"

"Because in my eyes, Delta has advantages that no one else can match, but... she doesn't seem to realize it herself."

"!"

Looking at Xu Qi's serious expression, Delta couldn't help but wonder—is there really...?

Xu Qi glanced at Lilia, who was still working on the problem seriously, and then looked at Delta with a playful expression, saying, "Do you want me to reveal the answer for you?"

But if I reveal the answer, it's still considered a wrong answer, and you'll be punished~~

674. He's finally figured out how to play the role.

"You!..." Delta glanced at Lilia, who was still doing her homework, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You're just being a scoundrel..."

"Or you can just guess?"

Xu Qi found himself increasingly enjoying teasing the girl in front of him. Delta's anger brought him a strange sense of pleasure.

In the end, Delta decided to try guessing for now.

"Because I... am quite persistent?"

Xu Qi thought for a moment.

"I guess so."

Delta let out a long sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"But you only got one right, so you still have to be punished."

"You!...Xu Qi! You're shameless!"

Before this, weren't you curious about the answer?

Although she didn't want to be led astray by Xu Qi, Delta was genuinely curious about his answer. She said coldly, "Then you tell me."

"You live in this world stronger than anyone else."
