We moved to Golden Courtyard

But if Alicia says that... that alluring feeling is still very strong.

"It's not a bad deal, is it? After all, Eden and I are best friends. When you ask me to do 'that,' won't it feel like you're conquering Eden under your body too?"

No! Absolutely not!

But... who knows?

Xu Qi was unaware of this; all he knew was that he seemed to be starting to feel something.

And coincidentally, Ellie's little hand reached down.

"Oh? My little brother's being naughty!"

Xu Qi took a deep breath. There were no meetings scheduled for ET's senior management this morning, which meant that no one would likely come into this large office.

So he said, "Then could you help me with this, sister?"

Ellie rolled her eyes at Xu Qi, her expression a mix of innocence and allure.

She slowly released her, letting Xu Qi sit in the seat that Bronya usually sat in, which was the first seat on the left.

As the zipper was unzipped, Ellie swallowed hard, watching the treasure that seemed eager to spring out.

Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems it's not that I'm being naughty, but rather that some people want it..."

"Hmph? You should just sit there."

Ai Li knelt in front of Xu Qi and slowly lowered her head.

"Now you are second only to one person, above ten thousand others... and so am I."

After saying that, he opened his mouth and swallowed...

Xu Qi: "!"

When did this little pink fairy become so good at this?

······

Inside the office, Xilin sat at her workstation, idly drawing.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the familiar scent made Sirin's eyes light up! She turned her head to look beside her—it was Seele!

"Seele! You're back! Honestly, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere."

The gentle young girl's eyebrows were curved, and she looked to be in a very happy mood.

"I just went to see Teacher Liu."

"and then?"

"I think... I can finish my part of the cut."

"Really?" Sirin's face lit up with joy; this was perhaps the best news she had heard in a long time! "I knew Seele could do it!"

"Um... By the way, Celine, do you know where Mr. Xu Qi is right now? I just went to his office, but Miss Rita said he wasn't there."

The little girl's thoughts were always written on her face, and Xilin immediately became unhappy after hearing this.

"What do you want with him? Humph! You jerk..."

Seele looked puzzled. Why did it seem like... Sirin had a lot of opinions about Mr. Xu Qi?

"He's in the conference room. Go find him now; he should still be there."

"Really? Thank you, Sirin!"

With that, she got up and rushed out. Celine tried to call her back but didn't have time, and became even angrier—really! What's there to be happy about!

Of course, Seele had no idea what had happened between Sirin and Xu Qi.

She just wanted to find Xu Qi as soon as possible and share her joy at this moment—once she calmed down, the genius's pace became even more unstoppable.

With just a slight hint from Liu Qi, Xi'er immediately grasped the essence.

This also made the animation director, who was also called a genius in his youth, sigh... Seele was born to make animation!

With an indescribable flutter in her heart, Seele took the elevator to the top floor and ran quickly towards the conference room. She only stopped when she reached the door.

After calming herself down a bit, the thought of finally seeing Xu Qi made her feel a little nervous... and a little shy...

She took a deep breath and quietly opened the door.

The young girl planned to give her beloved Mr. Xu Qi a little surprise.

782. Xier, Xu Qi is really no good!

Xu Qi gently stroked Ai Li's long pink hair with one hand, while with the other hand, he felt the softness in her heart.

Seeing her long hair flying up and down, he couldn't help but help hold it down.

Are you tired?

How could Ai Li possibly answer? She placed her hands on Xu Qi's legs and rolled her eyes in a very charming way.

The sounds of water splashing and Ellie's adorable whimpering were mesmerizing.

Speaking of which, I was just served like that by Rita yesterday. My skills are definitely not as good as Rita's, after all, the little maids are much more popular...

But Ellie also has her own advantages.

The sheer satisfaction one feels for such a pure and lovely young woman, who is willing to kneel before him and bow down to him, is indescribable.

As if by some strange twist of fate, Xu Qi suddenly shouted.

"elder sister?"

Ellie paused for a moment, then immediately began to work even harder.

This was too much for Xu Qi to bear, and he involuntarily bent over slightly.

"Um... Mr. Xu Qi, are you there?"

Xu Qi: !

At that moment, who? He couldn't care less about anything else; the sudden shock made Xu Qi tremble.

Little Ellie patiently waited for Xu Qi to finish before eating everything herself.

Hmm... I feel like one blast from the Dragon King isn't as powerful as one from Xu Qi.

Xu Qi let out a soft breath and replied, "Oh, it's Xi'er... What's wrong?"

Xi'er, who had sneaked into the conference room, was delighted. Following the sound, she saw that the first seat on her left had its back facing her, and immediately realized that Xu Qi was sitting there.

"Mr. Xu Qi".

Xi'er jogged over, but when she got close, she suddenly noticed a figure popping out in front of Xu Qi.

That striking head of long pink hair made Seele immediately recognize her—it was her older sister Alicia…

However, Alicia's current state is a bit strange. Not only is her face flushed, but she also subconsciously wiped her mouth when she saw Seele.

However, you can still see a little bit of... white liquid left at the corner of the other person's mouth?

"I'll be going now." Ellie leaned down and whispered in Xu Qi's ear, "Don't forget to come find me tonight!"

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and skipped away from the conference room.

Look at her happy little face, it seems that Xu Qi's "sister" just now really affected her.

Seele stared blankly at the scene before her, a strange feeling welling up inside her.

What were they doing just now?

Xu Qi shook his head. This little Ai Li is really getting better and better.

He then looked at Seele and noticed that the little girl seemed a bit dazed. He couldn't help but chuckle and wave his hand in front of her eyes.

"ah!"

Xu Qi laughed and said, "Such a big reaction?"

Seele blushed and lowered her head shyly.

"What's wrong? What do you want?"

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted to thank Mr. Xu Qi in person."

The girl's eyes, as blue as the ocean, were filled with joy upon seeing Xu Qi. She seemed like a gentle and lovely girl next door, with a particularly sweet voice.

Xu Qi stood up and walked outside, gesturing for Xi'er to follow.

"No need to thank me. If you can't finish the cut you're responsible for within the timeframe, I will indeed find another animator to take over."

I'm much more ruthless than you think, so don't treat me like a saint.

"Yes, I know, but I'm already very grateful that Mr. Xu Qi was so frank. I've always been very fortunate that Mr. Xu Qi was able to bring me away from Supervisor Liu."

She was clearly a very quiet girl, and her tone of voice gave people a soft and weak feeling, but her words were full of a firm sense of strength.

She is truly like the sea, embracing everything while retaining the essence of the ocean.

And there's one thing he's very similar to—treating people with sincerity.

"Do you realize that what you're saying actually sounds like you're expressing loyalty?"

"Ugh?"

Xu Qi reached out and ruffled Xi'er's bluish hair, and said with a smile, "But I can feel that Xi'er is just showing me her inner self."

Well... I don't think so...

Seele lowered her head shyly.

"You're a strong girl. Even without me, you could have overcome this difficult period on your own. You just lack some confidence and some..."

Xu Qi thought for a moment, then said.

"There's a lack of observation. I'm also a creator, and the real world is our best teacher."

"Okay! Seele got it."

……

Along the way, the two talked a lot. Although one was in charge of the original artwork and the other was in charge of the script, they were essentially creators and were both working on Alahatto Seed.

Through Xu Qi, Seele is able to gain a deeper understanding of the anime protagonists Kira and Athrun, as well as their inner thoughts.

This was obviously helpful for her original artwork.

"I need to see Bronya about something. I'll be going now. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

"Yes! I won't let Mr. Xu Qi down!"

Watching Xu Qi walk away, Xi'er took several deep breaths, but found that no matter what she did, she couldn't stop the fluttering in her heart. Mr. Xu Qi...

"Hey, they've already gone far away..."

"what!"

Seele was startled and turned around to see—it was Sirin.

"Phew... Sirin, why did you scare me like that?"

"Was I trying to scare you?" Celine asked, her eyes narrowed. "Could you please tone down the hearts in your eyes? It looks disgusting."

"Huh?" Seele quickly wiped her eyes. "Is there...is there really!?"

"Are you an anime character?! How could you possibly have something like that?!"

"Uh!...Hehe..." Seele laughed awkwardly and scratched her head.

Xilin glanced in the direction Xu Qi had just left, put her hands on her hips, and said very seriously, "Xier, you should think this through. He has a girlfriend."

"Ah... I know?"

"And it's not just one! Haven't you heard what people are saying outside? Being kept under supervision, then having an affair with her secretary, and finally developing into an ambiguous relationship with the director!"

And yet, he still has a girlfriend! Have you ever watched School Days? He's the kind of scum who'll get stabbed to death sooner or later! A degenerate who plays with women's feelings!

Hmm... Seele even knows more, such as that her real boss, Dr. Mei, is Mr. Xu Qi's lover, and that her teammate, Shigure Kira, is also interested in Mr. Xu Qi.

"Someone like you! ...I absolutely cannot watch you jump into the fire!"
