We moved to Golden Courtyard

My heart... is beating so fast...

"what?"

Lin slowly raised her head, and only then did Xu Qi realize that there was no trace of guilt or remorse on the girl's face.

Her cheeks flushed an unusual rosy hue, and her large eyes blinked as she stared intently at Xu Qi. The genuine love and passion in her eyes ignited not only Lin's heart but also Xu Qi's.

After the kiss, the little girl wasn't heartbroken, because...

"I think... I've really fallen for my brother-in-law."

719. Sakura: I just love your insatiable greed.

Xu Qi stood there with his mouth slightly open, seemingly completely stunned.

He suddenly realized that he could no longer treat Rin as a little girl who knew nothing.

Xu Qi found it hard to imagine how a girl could muster the courage to launch a new offensive called love after being rejected the day before.

Rin... Has anyone ever told you that you are really brave and strong?

He was just a little too brave.

Xu Qi turned his face away, not daring to look at Lin at that moment, because he vaguely sensed something, and he seemed to...

"So that's how it is, after I talked with Rin all night..."

Sakura slowly turned around, her gaze towards her sister filled with both helplessness and relief.

"I've noticed that she seems to have really fallen for you, Xu Qi."

"No, Sakura?"

Xu Qi looked at Ying in disbelief.

"We have no right to make choices for our descendants, nor do we have the right to prevent them from making what we call mature judgments after careful consideration, do we?"

Rin grinned proudly and took over Sakura's words.

"What my sister means is that she acknowledges my feelings for you, brother-in-law!"

"I just can't do anything with you..."

"Hehe! ~~ Sister is so stubborn. She clearly acknowledges me, but she still insists that because I'm the younger sister, she has to give in to me—who asked you to give in!"

"No," Xu Qi interrupted the sisters' conversation.

"So, what are you doing here...?"

Ying gave Xu Qi a helpless smile.

"If she truly likes you, and it's not just blind love, I don't see any reason to stop her."

"cherry!?"

Lin slowly walked up to Xu Qi, put her hands behind her back, and said in a soft voice with the shyness unique to a young girl, "Brother-in-law, I... I will pursue you again."

This time I understand, I... I've truly fallen for my brother-in-law! I won't waver, I won't give up, I will definitely make you accept me, brother-in-law!

Just the way you address me is already hard for me to accept...

Xu Qi looked at his sister-in-law with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, then glanced at Ying.

"Don't look at me, I can't help it either."

"Let's get to know each other again?" Rin extended her hand with a broad smile. "My name is Rin, Yae Rin. I'm Sakura's younger sister, and also your sister-in-law."

I like you! I like my brother-in-law, even... I've fallen in love with him. So from now on, I will pursue you relentlessly! That's all!

……

Xu Qi quietly watched Lin.

The girl before him possessed a courage unimaginable to anyone. With the recklessness and trepidation of youth, she charged into Xu Qi's heart.

Holding the girl's small hand, Xu Qi... suddenly burst out laughing.

"You asked me yesterday if I could kiss you one more time?"

Lin stared blankly at Xu Qi.

She didn't understand why her brother-in-law would suddenly ask this question.

"Want to try? Another kiss."

Rin blinked, then suddenly turned her head blankly to look at her older sister beside her.

"Sister, can I... do it?"

Xu Qi and Ying almost burst out laughing at Rin's current demeanor. Ying covered her mouth, barely suppressing her laughter, and said, "He's already answered like that, why aren't you going to go for it?"

Almost the instant he finished speaking, Rin wrapped his arms around Xu Qi's neck and shyly, innocently kissed her lips. And this time…

Her feelings became even more profound.

That heart-pounding thrill is a small, romantic feeling that only comes when kissing the one you love.

I love it... I really love it! The warmth of her lips assaulted Rin.

So this is what kissing is all about. A passionate kiss with the one you love.

Unconsciously, Rin wrapped her arms around Xu Qi's neck, her small pigeon pressing against Xu Qi's chest, her embrace filled with the breath of youth.

In a simple kiss, Xu Qi didn't even try to stick out his tongue, yet this alone was enough to make Lin's face flush red, looking incredibly alluring.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Xu Qi, you're really bold to kiss my sister like that in front of me."

Rin seemed to only then realize that her older sister was still there.

The little girl immediately blushed and ran out, leaving Xu Qi alone to face Ying.

However... there's nothing wrong with it.

Ying stepped forward, looked at Xu Qi who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and suddenly smiled, "You... are also confirming your own feelings, right?"

How could Ying not know Xu Qi?

“When you came back yesterday, I noticed that something was wrong with you. You didn’t dare to give Rin the kiss she asked for at the end…”

It's because you're afraid of discovering that your heart is already beating for Rin, right?

Xu Qi knew he couldn't hide it from Ying.

He looked up helplessly, then laughed out loud.

"Your sister looks very delicate, but actually... she's like you at heart. Her courage is something I admire and can't match."

Sakura's lips curled up.

"So you still like me."

Xu Qi embraced the alluring beauty from behind and said, "Yes... you two sisters have me completely under your thumb."

"I always told you to distance yourself from Rin because I was worried she wouldn't see her true feelings..." Sakura's gentle gaze was fixed on the direction Rin had shyly fled from.

Well, it's quite strange.

After all, her younger sister looked at least six or seven parts like her. Just now, it was as if she was seeing herself in college, in the prime of her youth, full of joy, and running away shyly after being a little intimate with the man she loved.

"Now that she has made up her mind, it would seem rather heartless for me, as her older sister, to interfere."

Xu Qi gave a wry smile.

"What if I really don't have any feelings for Rin?"

"So you don't have any feelings for her?"

Hearing Ying's question, Xu Qi was speechless for a moment.

Is it possible that I have no feelings for Rin?

Just like Sakura said, why did she refuse Rin's kiss again yesterday? Because when the girl stubbornly and strongly told her, "Even so, I still like my brother-in-law."

……

At that moment, the thrill in Xu Qi's heart was indescribable. The girl's courage seemed to turn the setting sun into the rising sun.

And just now, his premonition was confirmed. The moment Rin kissed him, he was indeed... moved.

It's no longer about liking a junior, but rather about romantic feelings between a man and a woman.

"Sakura, if I'm holding you right now, but still say I like your sister... is that really okay? Am I being a little... greedy?"

Sakura turned around with a smile on her face.

"If you weren't so greedy, how could I have gotten you? Besides... I've never cared about such ethical and moral matters; I only care about Rin's thoughts."

If she truly loves you, then even if you don't like her, I'll still try to find ways to make you like her.

720. Rin, your older sister is so good at this...

"Then you really are a good older sister."

Sakura slightly raised her head and glanced seductively behind her.

"Am I not? Besides... I actually have some selfish motives of my own."

"Ok?"

With his chin resting on Sakura's shoulder and his hands caressing her slender yet strong waist, Xu Qi asked with some curiosity, "Selfish motive? What motive could there be?"

"Xu Qi, I've actually envied Mei a lot, because she met the best version of you at the best age of her life."

Xu Qi frowned.

"cherry……"

"Don't speak, I know..." Sakura turned around, placed her index finger on Xu Qi's lips, and said softly, "Age has never been a problem for you, but it isn't for me..."

Not meeting you when I was younger is truly a regret for me, but—now, that regret can be somewhat satisfied.

Xu Qi was taken aback, looking at the mockery in Ying's eyes, and hesitated before saying, "You mean..."

“Rin and I looked so alike when we were young. Looking at her is like seeing my past self. And now… you’re with Rin.”

Xu Qi's mouth dropped open—"You...you can do that?!"

She looks a lot like Sakura when she was young... She's Sakura's younger sister...

To be honest, Xu Qi had been suppressing his thoughts and hadn't dared to think about it in that direction, but the more Ying mentioned it, the more his heart burned with desire.

After all... sisters...

Ying looked at Xu Qi with a playful smile.

Are you... thinking about something really bad right now?

Xu Qi opened his mouth dryly, but before he could defend himself, Ying stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Xu Qi's chest.

"For example, they might throw the two of us sisters onto the bed together... stacked on top of each other? Or placed side by side? Or perhaps one of us would be under you while the other hugs you from behind?"

Xu Qi turned his head away guiltily.

"Do...do you have one?"

However, out of the corner of his eye, Xu Qi caught a glimpse of a pair of fox ears standing up on Ying's head, and he squinted.

"So it was Sakura-nee who wanted it..."

Sakura touched her fox ears in annoyance—this was really bad.

"But let me rest today."

Sakura looked at Xu Qi with a puzzled expression, sniffed lightly, and then understood.

"Let me guess... first Rita, then Bronya, and finally Ellie, am I right? You satisfied three women in one day, you really have amazing energy~~"

Xu Qi chuckled and pinched the little fox's nose.
