We moved to Golden Courtyard

So I don't think it's necessary to be so strict. Like, even though the "expert" sister doesn't say it, she still seems to favor me in many things, doesn't she?

Xu Qi's words resonated like thunder in Wilvi's heart.

I... am biased towards him?

Unwilling to admit it, but with absolute rationality immediately helping them recall their actions, the final conclusion was...

She does seem to subconsciously have a bias towards Xu Qi.

why?

Partners...

Yes! That must be the reason! Because of Xu Qi's previous help to Weierwei, I came to recognize him as a trustworthy partner for Weierwei.

That must be it!

"Dong dong!"

The knocking on the door briefly pulled Vivi out of her thoughts.

She turned around and saw a pink figure open the door and then peek in.

"Oh? Vivi? What a coincidence! Are you here to see Xu Qi too?"

"I...yes."

Every time Xu Qi sees this pink fairy, he feels genuinely happy.

He smiled, his eyes seemingly filled with tenderness.

This is a look that would never be given to Vilvie.

why?

The idea was immediately extinguished by experts as soon as it surfaced!

No... this is too weird. Why would I have such thoughts, almost like being jealous?! This isn't right... this is very wrong!

"You guys chat, I'm leaving now. You can call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he hurriedly left Xu Qi's office.

Alicia glanced at it with a puzzled look, but quickly put it out of her mind. Since it was just her and Xu Qi in the office, she could naturally relax a bit more.

So she hopped and sat right in Xu Qi's lap.

"Be gentle...you're going to break the chair."

"No way!" Ellie pouted and slapped Xu Qi's large hand on her waist. "Are you saying I'm too fat?"

"Being a little chubby is good, it's cute."

"No way!" Ellie immediately retorted, "You're just making fun of me! You stinky Xu Qi..."

Xu Qi smiled but remained silent.

"Hey? I'll send you some copywriting, can you take a look?"

Copywriter?

Xu Qi opened QQ on his computer and sure enough, he saw a document sent to him by Ai Li—"The Story Because of You".

"I tried writing about two sisters in a book. It's just a short dialogue, could you... help me check it out?"

"Okay."

Xu Qi smiled.

He also felt that Ellie was almost ready to start writing.

……

The atmosphere in the office wasn't exactly serious; after all, with Ellie there, it was impossible to be serious even if you wanted to.

However, the two remained silent. One quietly read the document, while the other sat in the other's lap, occasionally taking out a cookie to eat.

Like a little hamster, it's no wonder Xu Qi suspected that she had gained weight recently.

The document is only about two thousand words long.

A dialogue between two sisters, along with numerous psychological descriptions.

After watching, Xu Qi silently put down his phone.

"Have you finished watching?"

Xu Qi nodded.

"So...how about it?"

Ellie shifted slightly in Xu Qi's arms, sitting facing him, and seemed a little nervous.

This is the first time she, as an apprentice, has submitted her homework to her master. She doesn't know if she will disappoint him.

Xu Qi didn't rush to comment, but instead asked a question.

"You saw the Sakura sisters arguing?"

"I heard it. I heard some of it from my room. When I tried to come out and try to mediate, Rin had already run out."

“I remember you were there when Delta said, ‘I want to continue making animation.’ Why don’t you tell me what Delta was thinking at the time?”

"Back then?" Ellie recalled.

"It doesn't need to be complicated, just say whatever comes to mind."

"I feel a bit guilty, a bit joyful, but mostly a sense of relief."

……

A look of relief appeared on Xu Qi's face.

"You're a genius, Ellie."

"Of course I'm a genius!" Ellie said proudly.

Xu Qi pinched Ai Li's little cheek.

"You are quite sensitive to the inner world of people, so the characters you create appear more real and more complete."

Ellie understood; Xu Qi was praising her.

This made Ellie purse her lips, looking like she wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed.

"but……"

Ellie immediately frowned, her expression turning somewhat pitiful as she looked at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi almost burst out laughing at the change in his expression.

"The description of psychological activities is too detailed. You need to know how to select and omit information. Just like your concise answer just now, sometimes that's enough."

Even in matters of the heart, one must know how to leave room for interpretation. Writing anything too slowly will cause it to lose its original essence and meaning. Do you understand?

Ellie said thoughtfully, "Because readers are human too, they also process the words they read internally, right?"

Xu Qi was completely stunned.

He laughed and kissed Ellie's little face, then nodded.

"You're right! Here's a treat for you!"

717. Not only a scumbag, but also a pervert.

Unable to contain his affection, he hugged Ellie and showered her with kisses.

Throughout the process, the girl giggled continuously. Only after Xu Qi let go did she pretend to be dissatisfied and say, "How can you do this? Holding me and kissing me all the time, don't you have any shame?"

After getting off Xu Qi, Ai Li made a face, then walked over to the sofa and sprawled out, looking quite content.

"What? Not planning on leaving?"

"Rita's not here today anyway, so what's wrong with me taking a break?"

You should be glad I vented on Rita this morning and on Bronya at noon, otherwise you'd be stuck on the sofa in this state.

"Huh? Is my writing really that good?"

"It's pretty good, and it even provides some inspiration for my current script for episode 28."

Although I have already finished writing.

"Hehe?~~"

Xu Qi saw that Ai Li was lying on the sofa with a tablet in her arms, and she was even planning to start watching some anime series. Openly slacking off in the boss's office—ah!

"Aili, do you know anything about what happened to Sister Wilvi?"

"Vilvie? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that... it seems like no one in the courtyard interacts with Vervier much. The person I see most often is her with Mebius."

"Yeah...after all, they always have a lot in common, right? That's great...I really want to join them too, but unfortunately I don't have the ability..."

Ellie looked very frustrated.

"Moreover, because it's been all done by 'experts' lately, it's hard to tell, but like you, Paddo, she used to be very afraid of Velvi."

"Ah?~~Indeed, after all, Vilvie always takes the cat to see magic shows, right?~~Perhaps because she's just too enthusiastic, the cat can't handle it."

Is it really because they're too enthusiastic? Or is it because the cat is afraid of dying?

"Why are you suddenly asking these questions? Oh, I see."

A mischievous smile appeared on Ellie's face.

"What do you know?"

"I'm going to tell Mei! You're going to find her another new girlfriend!"

Xu Qi almost collapsed onto the desk.

"You think...Vellvie? Is that even possible?"

"Huh?~~" Alicia's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Instead of rushing to refute my words, you asked me first if it could work out... You really do have feelings for Velvi!"

"Forehead……"

Xu Qi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Alicia was right, or rather... how could he not have feelings for Velvi? After all, in terms of how close they were, it was Velvi who approached him in the first place, wanting to work with Xu Qi to complete the development of the exoskeleton armor.

In this respect, they have the most in common! Even Mei is far inferior.

As for Mebius? That came later.

After all, high-performance exoskeleton armor is not something a normal human can withstand. Simply put, it means that... technical difficulties were encountered, which is why Velvi introduced Mebius to Xu Qi.

If that's the case...

Was Vilvi the matchmaker between herself and Snake?

And there's another crucial issue: not only is Sister Wilvi beautiful, but she's also... well, you can only describe her with four words—absolutely stunning.

Xu Qi has never been able to resist older sisters like this.

but……

“Liking someone is one thing… but liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be together, right?” Xu Qi felt he had grasped the core of the problem. “Sister Wilvi and I might not be a good match.”

"You haven't even spent time together yet, how do you know if you're compatible?"

After asking the question, Ellie immediately understood.

"Is it because you felt it was unfair to Rin that you just rejected her, and now you're suddenly expressing your liking for her, or even wanting her?"

No! ...Nothing!

That's so easy to guess! Seriously, why would anyone watch a measly anime? Isn't Xu Qi more interesting than anime?

Alicia immediately leaned forward, her eyes shining with gossip.

"No way! Actually, it's not contradictory. You don't have romantic feelings for Rin, but you do for Velvey! Let's be blunt—just say you like her!"
