We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Kitty, you're right, but have you considered that our plane takes off at 9:30, and it's only 8:30 now?"

"Um...doesn't that mean we have to board the plane earlier?"

"An hour earlier, right?"

"Hehehe~~" The cat, clearly realizing it had made some common-sense mistakes, scratched its head awkwardly but politely. Well, what could it do... It was its first time on a plane, and it was a little excited.

There was a group of people, about ten or so in total.

Himeko glanced over—Holy crap! They're all handsome men and beautiful women! The quality is terrifyingly high!

And... isn't that Xu Qi walking at the very front, with a cat-like girl beside him?!

Himeko quickly glanced at her plane ticket—9:30, Guangcheng.

It's exactly the same!

Are they also going to Guangcheng?

Now, Himeko's gaze towards Xu Qi was somewhat different—no way...is this feeling of destiny a little too strong?

It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly brought the two of them together.

Oh no... it's not a make-up match, it's a match made in heaven!

Now 30 years old, Himeko feels as if she has rekindled her hope for love!

It's just that the cat-like girl next to him is a bit of an eyesore...

But speaking of which, were these ten or so people together?

Himeko looked at it a few more times out of curiosity.

A handsome guy with white hair, good quality, but too aloof, pass.

A handsome but squinty-eyed weirdo with little presence, pass.

A guy wearing a mask... that's too weird, pass.

There's one more high school student. That's all, pass.

After appreciating the men, Himeko then began to appreciate the women.

Upon seeing this, Himeko felt that the hope she had just ignited was likely to be extinguished again—what a joke... What is all this? How can such beautiful girls be grouped together like this?

A pink fairy is talking to a gentle, Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl, and the two seem to have a very close relationship.

Behind her followed a mother and daughter. The mother, wearing a white dress, had a bust size that was almost comparable to mine! This was the first time in Himeko's life that she had met a woman who could rival her in this regard.

And that little girl was simply irresistibly cute.

Then came two women wearing white coats despite the weather. They walked together as if they were talking about something, like mad scientists strolling down the street, chatting about whether they were conducting live experiments or something else.

And she's the kind of beautiful crazy woman, you get it, this is what they call... a crazy beauty?

Following at the back were what appeared to be a college student and a working woman. How should we evaluate Himeko? Both of them are basically the pinnacle of Eastern aesthetics.

What is this? This is going too far...

Xu Qi and his group, of course, did not notice Aunt Ji Zi, who had deliberately disguised herself.

After shooing away the curious cat, he continued typing away at his phone screen.

Shining Qiqi: Where are the pictures? Where are the pictures? Where is my freedom?

Theresa: Don't yell! I'm drawing, I'm drawing!

Shining Qiqi: You're creating a new folder, right?

Theresa: ? Climb

Theresa: Don't talk about that, you...you really want to come to Guangcheng?

Shining Qiqi: Yeah? I'm about to board the plane.

Theresa: ...

Xu Qi waited a long time for a reply, then asked Kosmo, who was sitting next to him, for a bottle of water. Don't ask why it wasn't Mei; she was busy asking Alicia for skincare tips and didn't have time to deal with Xu Qi.

Theresa: ...I'm not ready yet.

"puff!!"

Without any warning, the news came out so suddenly that Xu Qi spat out the mouthful of water he had just drunk all over Kosmo's face.

Kosmo: ...

Kosmo wiped his face, put away his Switch, and quietly found a corner to sit down.

I have a feeling that this scenario has already happened once before.

"Cough! Cough! Damn it... Damn it... Theresa, what are you talking about?"

Shining Qiqi: You damn guy! What did you say?! What are you going to do, get ready to hook up with me?!

Theresa: W-what are you doing?! Is that not allowed?! I have social anxiety!

Row……

Theresa: Have you decided where to go for fun?

Shining Qiqi: I'll stay in Nansha for a few days first. I have a friend who has a private beach in Nansha. I'll play on the beach for a few days and then go to other places to explore.

Theresa: Rich

Theresa: There's not much to do in Guangcheng. I feel like a week is about enough. You could explore other places nearby, like Foshan or Dongguan.

Shining Qiqi: You must be from Guangcheng to say that, right?

Theresa: You'll see when you get here. I won't say anymore. Didn't you want free mecha designs? I'll go draw them for you right now.

Shining Qiqi: I love you

Theresa: Get out of here! Dead man!

Xu Qi happily turned off his phone, stretched, and felt a surge of anticipation.

After all, this is the first time... Everyone in the Golden Courtyard has managed to find time to go on a trip.

I wonder if I'll have a new encounter in that foreign land.

……

"Lieutenant Himeko, are you listening?"

"I'm here."

"Okay, then we'll contact you again when we get to Guangcheng. Remember to keep it a secret."

"learn."

After hanging up the call, Himeko glanced at Xu Qi, who was chatting and laughing with his companions, and couldn't help but frown.

This is definitely not a good time to travel to Guangcheng...

Hopefully, this won't affect them.

But speaking of Guangcheng...

Behind her sunglasses, Himeko's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence—she wondered... if she would ever see her friend again. Off she went.

67. Gretchen, you saved Kosmo.

Guangcheng, Nansha Beach.

An unassuming yacht was slowly sailing along the shore.

Aside from the captain and helmsman, the only people on board were the ship's owner, her secretary, and a retinue of maids. They were mostly blonde, blue-eyed white women dressed in maid's gowns.

There was nothing he could do; after all, they, including the boat, were gifts from others. So, as the current owner of the yacht, Eden couldn't be too picky. (Crowdfunding group: 456127940)

"Boss." On the yacht deck, a girl with long chestnut hair emerged from the cabin and walked up to Eden, saying, "We're almost at our destination. Then..."

"Don't worry, you're all my friends, Anna, as you return in the Golden Anne."

"Ok."

Since Eden had said so, Anna Shaniat, as his secretary, wouldn't say anything more. After all, the reason she was Eden's secretary was precisely because she could always maintain a proper balance.

Some people, after working as secretaries for a long time, feel that they can make decisions for their boss in certain areas, or that they have the right to communicate with their boss on an equal footing...

Perhaps some bosses really like this kind of secretary...

But Anna knew that Eden, who appeared quite easygoing and seemingly unconcerned about what anyone said, was actually a boss who disliked subordinates questioning her decisions.

Therefore, since Eden said there was no need to worry about her safety or leave anyone behind, Anna had to strictly abide by all of this.

At times like these, any unnecessary actions would be superfluous.

"Hmm? Boss, look, we've arrived."

······

The vast, golden beach stretches out to the azure sea and sky, and on this beach stands a Nordic-style villa nestled against a dense forest…

As they traveled in a van through a long forest path, this scene unfolded before the Golden Courtyard group...

Well, not many people were surprised by this.

But everyone was still quite excited about this rare sight.

Only Mei... her expression had been somewhat dazed throughout the journey, especially after seeing this private sea area.

At this moment, she couldn't help but tug at Xu Qi's sleeve and said, "Xu Qi... these... are they all from Eden?"

"Hmm? Oh, I guess so. She probably has many places like this all over the world. Either they were gifts from others, or she bought them herself."

How much land does she need?

No, asking this question feels like describing Eden as a landlord.

Damn capitalists...

"You'll get used to Eden's financial resources, how should I put it?"

Xu Qi stroked his chin, and after thinking for a while, he finally figured out how to answer Mei.

"[Golden] Eden, she is certainly not the richest person in the world, but she can solve anything related to money."

For her, the statement "Money is not a problem" was no joke.

Mei suddenly felt a little nervous—this…you still say she's not the world's richest person!?

Seemingly sensing what Mei was thinking, Xu Qi burst out laughing. This commotion was noticed by their companions, and Ai Li couldn't help but ask a question.

"What are you laughing at, Xu Qi?"

"It's nothing. Aren't we going to see Eden later? Mei is a little nervous."

nervous?

Everyone was initially taken aback and expressed their confusion, but then they suddenly realized and understood.

Kevin, who was walking at the front, nodded and said, "According to general theory, it seems we should indeed be nervous."

"Oh dear? You should have said so earlier. It's okay, Mei. Eden is a very pretty girl too. You'll like her."

Are you sure this is a question of whether I will fall in love with her?

"Don't worry," Xu Qi patted Mei on the shoulder and said, "You'll understand when you see it. Don't forget, Eden is also a member of the Golden Courtyard, we're family."

family.

indeed.

After crossing a wooden bridge, you'll find the only villa in the area, which is only a few miles away.

As the group carrying large bags and small packages entered the living room on the first floor of the villa, they all felt a sense of relief, as if they could finally be freed from their burdens.

The most direct reaction was from Alicia, who put her suitcase down by the door, threw her backpack aside, and then collapsed onto the sofa in the living room.

"Ah... I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die..."

Everyone put down their bags, and the ever-energetic Pado rushed upstairs to the second floor, shouting something like, "I'm going to pick a room!"

Kosmo had an expression that said he wanted to go but didn't want to lose face.
