We moved to Golden Courtyard

"This!...Is this something we can discuss?"

"Miss Rin, have you tried to think about why your sister would stop you? Is the answer you take for granted really what your sister is thinking?"

"I……"

Rin, who had initially intended to answer, gradually fell into deep thought.

"Don't worry, child. Only communication based on mutual understanding can solve the problem."

"I understand, thank you, Sister."

"It's okay, you're a smart girl, Rin."

As they reached the door, Rin suddenly asked a question.

"Miss, have we met somewhere before?"

"Perhaps, after all, we got along very well."

Rin nodded with a smile and left the prayer room. Inside the tree hollow, both Aponia and Xu Qi fell into silence.

“Sister Nia…”

"Being liked by children is a painful thing, isn't it?"

Xu Qi sighed helplessly. Perhaps to most people, this would only be exciting, right? After all, sisters and such...

Every man, to a greater or lesser extent, has some lewd and obscene thoughts.

There's no denying that. For example, when Xu Qi, Mei, and Mei are together, he makes Mei call Mei "sister" to give her a more special experience.

But... this time, the situation is extremely different.

Let's put aside the issue of Rin and Sakura being biological sisters for now.

Just as every adult has flaws they don't want to admit, every child doesn't want to admit their immaturity.

In short... the rebellious phase has begun.

What Rin embodies is—does she truly understand... what "love" is?

After all, this is no child's play.

If Xu Qi were a particularly harsh person, he might have already asked, "What kind of awareness did you have when you said such a thing?"

Is it to spend the rest of your life with me? Can you shoulder the responsibility of your partner's life?

"I love you" is such a heavy phrase; don't say it lightly if you can't do it.

You're someone whose mind is full of...

No, wait, the last sentence is unnecessary.

"Was Rin like this before?" Xu Qi frowned. Just as Aponia said, being liked by children is a very painful thing.

This is similar to why he hesitated to accept Mei's feelings at first; he was afraid... he was afraid that Mei couldn't distinguish between love and gratitude.

Mei was too young at that time. She could be immature, but Xu Qi couldn't.

Life is like a cycle, and now, it's time for Xu Qi to make a choice again.

"When Rin first came to us, she only said that she had developed a vague affection for her brother-in-law. Every girl might have had such an experience."

At an age when love is still naive, I regarded a mature senior as someone I could rely on for life. I chose to guide her appropriately.

After all, as she grows up, she will eventually learn that liking someone at this stage is not necessarily love.

Aponia sighed as she finished speaking.

"But recently, her words have become increasingly radical, as if she has fallen into some kind of obsession. Her words have become extreme and have shown a desire to take action."

That's when I realized my guidance had failed, so... I felt it necessary for you to know all of this.

"..."

Xu Qi sat silently beside Aponia.

cold……

"Would it be effective to have her talk to her older sister?"

"It will happen, and there's still time. If the situation gets any more complicated, it won't be easy to resolve."

Xu Qi smiled bitterly, "Rin and Mei are different. I rejected Mei because she understood my feelings; she knew I liked her. But Rin... Sister Nia, I'm really not the kind of person who falls in love with every girl I meet."

I have no feelings for her. I like her, but it's purely... the affection I feel for a junior, for a younger sister.

“I understand.” Aponia smiled kindly and gently stroked Xu Qi’s hair.

"My son Xiaoqi is a very responsible man."

Xu Qi said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Nia, what's with the nickname 'Xiao Qi'... It sounds like my mom."

“When I visited your home last time, I noticed that your aunt addressed you that way, which was quite nice, so I just started using it.”

"Did you write an application?"

Aponia said solemnly, "I can write now."

"Just kidding!"

They exchanged a smile, which eased the previously heavy atmosphere somewhat.

“Xu Qi, I know you’ve been busy with work lately and have encountered difficulties, but Lin…”

“I understand,” Xu Qi grasped Aponia’s small hand resting on her lap. “Rin is Sakura’s younger sister and my sister-in-law. I can’t stand idly by, both morally and logically.”

Besides, this is my own business, and I... actually quite like Rin, ah! Not that kind of liking.

"I see."

"I'll figure something out, I just hope it's not too late..."

“There’s definitely enough time, Xu Qi.” Aponia grasped Xu Qi’s large hand and held it to her chest, saying in a prayerful tone, “Life is not always smooth sailing, but there are always moments when things take a turn for the better.”

Besides, I'll always be by your side.

“Sister Nia…”

Why do I like older sisters? Because the peace of mind I feel at that moment is worth more than all the wealth in the world.

"But our Xiaoqi is truly a deeply sinful man..."

Noticing Aponia's slightly teasing expression, Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly—"I told you not to call me Xiao Qi..."

However, Xu Qi seemed to realize something very quickly, and his gaze roamed aggressively over Aponia's curvaceous body.

Aponia tilted her head in confusion.

"Xu Qi?"

“Sister Nia, I am indeed deeply sinful… So…” Xu Qi leaned forward and said, “Sister, could you help me atone for some of my sins?”

A blush spread across Aponia's cheeks as the holy nun once again repented for the impure thoughts in her mind.

As she clasped her hands together, pleading for divine forgiveness, she said, "This is... my duty."

706. Aponia... isn't she actually a demon...?

Xu Qi sometimes really thinks about it.

Having accumulated so many emotional debts, I can indeed be considered deeply sinful. When I was a child, I loved a line from a villain in an animated film.

Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped.

Bro, you're absolutely right.

Now, not only do I have a ton of unfinished business, but I'm also neglecting my work, my relationships, and even taking up the time that believers have to come to repent.

Just to... experience, here in Aponia, the process of a nun reducing one's sins.

But that's not the right way to describe it.

What? Aponia's feelings aren't feelings?

Once a relationship is established, there's no need to maintain it? Once you've won a girl over, you don't need to pay attention to her anymore? Xu Qi admits he's a scumbag, but he's probably not a complete scumbag...

Thinking this, he couldn't resist, and before Aponia could finish, he surrendered.

The torrent was surging, and Xu Qi had no intention of going deeper, so it could only overflow and flow among the snow-capped mountains.

Every summer, glaciers melt at the summit of the Himalayas, turning into water that flows into rivers, lakes, and seas. Perhaps this is the situation right now.

Slowly raising her head, Aponia looked calmly at Xu Qi, her eyes filled with tolerance and doting affection.

Xu Qi quickly grabbed some tissues, wanting to help the nun wipe herself.

"You're wiping this up, aren't you up to no good again?"

"What are you saying, Sister Nia?"

Xu Qi wiped it very carefully and diligently.

However, compared to wiping... it feels more like caressing.

Only by carefully feeling Nia's gentleness will you discover... that it is a gentleness that can embrace everything about you. This heavy heart is like a god, forgiving all your sins.

Aponia glanced helplessly at Xu Qi, as if she had anticipated that he would do something bad.

However... there was no intention to stop it.

Inside the little tree hollow was a small bed that Aponia used for her afternoon nap. After helping to clean it, Aponia took Xu Qi's hand and led him to the bedside.

"Xu Qi, this is a church."

“I know, Sister Nia.”

"Aren't we going to be punished by the gods for doing this here?"

Sister Nia, I don't know if we'll be punished by the gods, but I do know that your mention of it makes me even more excited...

Xu Qi hugged Aponia from behind; neither of them was dressed very neatly.

He tried to grasp the beautiful human heart that was exposed to the world, but he couldn't do it at all; it was like being trapped in cotton.

"Sister Nia, give it to me..."

"No...no, Xu Qi, this is the only one that won't do."

"why?"

Xu Qi seemed a little impatient. He wasn't the type to put pressure on a girl in this kind of situation, but he felt that his relationship with Aponia was already like this, so why...

Seemingly sensing Xu Qi's impatience, Aponia said.

Please calm down.

After calming down, Xu Qi realized his lapse in composure and quickly apologized.

"Sister Nia, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's alright, Xu Qi. Actually, I don't find it disgusting that you want my body so much. At least it shows... that I'm really tempting to you, isn't it?"

indeed……

After all, Xu Qi still loves it...

Her soft, supple body felt like it could completely envelop you; such a voluptuous figure could perhaps only be achieved by Sister Nia.

Even the mature Miss Mei has to admit that Aponia's figure is superior.

It is plump and soft, yet not greasy.

It has a firm, fleshy feel, yet doesn't appear thin.

Nia...you're actually a devil, aren't you...?

Have you noticed any changes in Mei these past few days?

"Mei?"

Xu Qi was taken aback, but then immediately understood what kind of change Sister Nia was referring to.

"Her mental strength... does seem a bit strange."
