We moved to Golden Courtyard

And coincidentally, Möbius knew this, not only because she knew, but also because she and you were the same kind of people.

Otherwise, you could have asked Mei or Airi, but you specifically went to Mebius because subconsciously you believe she's the one who understands you best.

Velvet didn't speak, gesturing for Xu Qi to continue. If it were the Magician, she would definitely have interrupted by now—"Mebius!? Bullshit! Who does she think she is?"

"However, the professor really saw right through you, and not only that, she took advantage of that and kept starting to say sarcastic things."

You were unusually angry, so you started to retaliate against the other person's bottom line, and then... it turned into you arguing with each other.

Do you agree with what I've said?

Vilvi remained silent for a long time, seemingly surprised that Xu Qi could actually recount her emotional journey at that time so perfectly.

Does he... know me that well?

If Xu Qi knew what Wilvi was thinking, he would definitely say—it's not that I understand you… it's that I'm starting to understand women more and more…

"So, even though you know you're wrong, you feel wronged."

"!"

"What you feel wronged about is that no one can empathize with you. It seems that as soon as people see you, they will start to discuss the matter in a general way."

People always overlook the fact that even the most rational and composed person has moments of emotional volatility. What Sister Wilvi needs right now... is simply some comfort.

······

On the Ferris wheel, Mebius took off his headphones, and Dr. Mei, sitting opposite him, chuckled, "Not going to listen anymore?"

"There's nothing good to hear. Listen to my little guinea pig, how to make that emotional idiot fall for you?"

"Are you that sure?"

"Ah……"

Mebius may not have realized that the confidence on her face right now was something she had never shown before, not even about her own affairs.

But she was exceptionally certain about Vilvi.

"Now, that stupid woman will never be able to leave Xu Qi for the rest of her life."

Mei rested her chin on her hand and looked down through the glass. She could see two people sitting opposite each other on the bench, their bodies drawing closer to each other once again.

However, unlike the intense competition last time, this time they seemed to be testing each other.

"professor."

"Ok?"

"It seems you really don't realize how well you understand Vervie, even if you say she's your enemy, but..."

Realizing that an enemy of this level is practically no different from a friend, especially when you've both fallen for the same incredibly philandering man.

"If you say anything out of line, I'll throw you off the Ferris wheel."

Mei didn't seem to care about such harsh words.

She was suddenly struck by a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including a sense of deep emotion) – the word "mutual understanding" was so fitting when applied to the relationship between Möbius and Vervière.

"It's hard to believe that your relationship is actually that bad."

“That’s exactly right.” Mebius stood up, took one last look at the two people embracing each other on the bench, and the smile on her face was something even she herself probably couldn’t understand.

"Once we leave, there's no point in looking again."

738. Sister Eden, let's go to your room, I'll explain it to you slowly.

Just wanting some comfort, Wilvi succumbed to Xu Qi's words of comfort...

Perhaps even she herself didn't expect that she would fall into Xu Qi's gentle trap so helplessly, after all, she is an expert.

The moment the kiss landed, it seemed as if everything had settled down.

But neither Xu Qi nor Wei Erwei noticed that deep within their hearts, a smile from Wei Erwei finally began to uncontrollably appear on her face.

A simple kiss, then lips parted.

Even the most composed gaze softens after a kiss.

"From now on, you and Vervi... will be truly and completely connected."

"Doesn't Sister Wilvi want this?"

"I...at least I have hope."

"That's enough." Holding Vervie in her arms, Xu Qi smiled and said, "Let's prepare a small gift for the professor tomorrow, after all, it's her birthday."

"Oh……"

Looking at Vervi, whose mood had visibly dropped in his arms, Xu Qi spoke again.

"And then May 5th is your birthday, don't you want to see what kind of gift Mebius will give you in return?"

Vervi's eyes lit up.

"I like this way of putting it."

······

When they returned to the courtyard that evening, they saw Dr. Mei and Möbius on the sofa in the living room as soon as they entered. They seemed to have been waiting for them to come home.

"Oh, our Casanova is home?"

Upon hearing Mei's teasing, Xu Qi stepped forward, gently pinched her cheeks, and pulled them apart.

"You're just putting me here to make fun of me, aren't you?"

"Waaaaah, no way..."

It has to be said that Dr. Mei's delicate and frail demeanor makes one want to tease her a little, just by looking at her.

Even though she usually seems serious, she is actually quite playful, and it was only after being with Xu Qi that her true nature was revealed.

Meanwhile, Möbius looked on with amusement at Vervie, who had been by Xu Qi's side since he entered—she was clearly an expert...

"Looks like they lingered there, reluctant to leave?"

Xu Qi was surprised; he hadn't expected Mebius to speak first.

After thinking for a moment, he sat down next to Dr. Mei, putting his arm around her slender waist. This earned him a charmingly flirtatious glare from Mei.

This guy really does have beauties in his arms wherever he goes...

But I happen to love the other person very much.

"Why did you come straight to the courtyard today? You always decline when we ask you to come over, and you only come when you're giving Grey her repair lessons."

Mei narrowed her eyes—Are you sure you invited me here to play? I'm afraid I won't be here long before you start playing me…

"Let's stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

As he said this, the large hand around Mei's waist tightened slightly, allowing the graceful and intellectually beautiful woman to get even closer to him.

Mei couldn't help but blush.

The implication is quite clear.

"What...are you going to do now?"

Xu Qi didn't answer, but instead leaned close to Mei's ear and gently bit her earlobe, saying, "Don't speak, let's see what our professor has to say."

Over there, Möbius crossed his arms, tilted his head back, and said disdainfully, "Was what I said that night wrong? And you're still getting angry with me..."

Vilvi took a deep breath—she finally understood why the conductor and the magician didn't like her very much.

However... Xu Qi did mention how to deal with this stubborn, beautiful snake.

"sorry."

……

Mebius stared blankly at Vervie, as if trying to confirm—was this really Vervie?

"What...what did you just say?"

It wasn't a provocation, but rather that Mebius was genuinely unsure of what he had just heard.

"I said, I'm sorry. Calling you a monster or something that day... was inconsiderate of me."

"Uh...no...I..."

Clearly, this is not what Mebius wants.

What she wanted to see was a face full of humiliation and resentment on Vervie's face! Then, she wanted Vervie to kneel before her on the ground! And finally, even if she was unwilling, she would have to grit her teeth and say to herself, "I'm sorry!"

This is exactly what Mebius wanted to see!

What?! ...Why did she apologize right away?!

And they seem to be taking it all in stride... So who's going to fill the void of fun I'm missing?

"It doesn't matter……"

I'm so annoyed... Did this woman suddenly change her personality?

"Hmph, hmph! I'll... I'll be more careful next time! You can't just say anything, you know?"

Velvi raised an eyebrow—she hadn't expected that this green snake, though tough-mouthed, would actually be quite cute? Now she understood why Xu Qi was so obsessed with Möbius.

Vervi stepped forward and slowly bent down amidst Möbius's suspicious expression. Her clear, cold voice caused Möbius's expression to freeze instantly.

"You probably saw it all from that Ferris wheel, but it's okay. After all, he's still your husband, so I don't mind."

"you!……"

"Oh, right."

Vervi reached out and patted Möbius on the shoulder with a smile.

"This is my first time trying it too, your husband, it's great."

……

Xu Qi stared wide-eyed, completely taken aback that the first thing Wilvie did upon her return was to provoke Mebius! After all… the professor was someone even Mei didn't want to mess with.

But on second thought, it's perfectly reasonable.

"Oh, is that so!"

Even though the creases on his face were barely concealed, Mebius still managed a forced smile and said, "Then you really need to hurry, because if you're any later, Xu Qi will be turning into my shape."

Mei glanced at Xu Qi and whispered, "Really?"

"The professor would be more like me."

That's true. After all, Mei has tasted Xu Qi's thing before—it's huge...

"but……"

Xu Qi looked at Mebius and Vervière, who were staring at each other, and felt that sparks were about to fly between their eyes. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“From now on… this courtyard will likely never be peaceful again.”

"It's as if things are peaceful right now."

The voice behind him made Xu Qi quickly turn around—"Sis?"

Right behind Xu Qi and Mei, Eden held a wine glass in one hand, looking at the seemingly fiery atmosphere with a smile on his face.

Mei also took the opportunity to escape Xu Qi's clutches, sat a little further away, and nodded, saying, "Miss Eden."

"You're welcome, Dr. Mei."

Eden, slightly drunk, looked at Xu Qi and said with a smile, "So... doesn't my little brother have any intention of explaining anything to his older sister?"

The unequivocal tone in his words immediately made Xu Qi realize what was going on. After giving Mei a look, he quickly stood up and helped Eden upstairs.

"Sis, I was just thinking of coming to see you as soon as I got back. Come on, let's go to your room and talk slowly."

739. Sister, if you get drunk, you need to be punished.
