We moved to Golden Courtyard

Finally, Xu Qi sighed and spoke up, "Um... Sakura, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, it's my fault. If I hadn't wanted to tease you, none of this would have happened."

Does that mean you noticed me coming a long time ago?

Actually, Xu Qi was quite speechless.

He's a new type!

His mental perception ability is extremely exaggerated.

However... Xu Qi couldn't sense any of the people in the Golden Courtyard at all.

Are all the guys in the Golden Courtyard monsters?

The only person he can mark with his mental power right now is Mei, who is an ordinary person.

And Gretchen...

tsk...

What's the big deal about tagging a little kid?

The two stood up and awkwardly walked out of the kitchen, sitting down on the sofa in the living room.

"Won't you chat? I never expected you could actually win them both over."

"Don't use words like 'get it done'..." Xu Qi smiled wryly, "I love Mei, but I've found that... I don't seem to be able to refuse Alicia either."

Sister Ying, sometimes I really think I'm a scumbag. Don't I just fall in love with every girl I meet?

"The benevolent Aquaman?"

"Stop making fun of me, Sakura-nee."

Seeing the look on Xu Qi's face—a happy kind of trouble—Ying couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure. She didn't know why, but she just loved seeing Xu Qi in trouble.

And then... I'll rely on her again.

"Sometimes don't think too much, just do what you want to do most, Xu Qi."

What's the thing you most want to do?

Xu Qi glanced at Ying subconsciously, and Ying also subconsciously looked back at him.

As if telepathically connected, the two instantly understood the meaning behind this subconscious action, and both turned their heads away with slightly flushed faces.

Xu Qi grinned – Damn it, Xu Qi, what are you thinking? That's Ying… What do you want to do to Sister Ying?

Sakura also felt something was strange. To be honest, if it had been any other man, they wouldn't have had the chance to get that close, let alone touch him!

Sakura could knock him to the ground in a single instant.

She couldn't understand what was wrong with her.

Even if I use spoiling Xu Qi as an excuse, am I being a little... too indulgent with him...?

I am not Eden, or rather, I am Möbius.

Even knowing that Xu Qi had mistaken her for someone else, even knowing that it was a misunderstanding, she still had to show her anger as a woman, given the proper decorum she should have.

However... nothing happened.

This body seemed to be looking forward to contacting Xu Qi.

Is this... a joke?

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent, and what was worse, this silence was mixed with a hint of ambiguity.

Xu Qi felt this wouldn't do; he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he might really lose control and do something even more outrageous.

He suddenly stood up, about to say that he would go back to his room to sleep, but Sakura's next words made him freeze in place.

Don't you want to... give it a try?

"?"

Test what? Did I hear that right? Are you Sakura? Or Alicia in disguise?

Sakura lowered her head, her long pink hair cascading down, making her appear less heroic and more gentle and beautiful. She hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"I was just a little curious, nothing more. After all, I'm... this age."

These words actually brought Xu Qi to his senses. He sat down again, frowned, and said...

"Sister Ying, you are beautiful. You shouldn't care so much about your age."

"But... there's nothing we can do, isn't there?" Sister Ying suddenly gave a bitter laugh. "After working so hard until now, I suddenly realized that I seem to have wasted the most romantic period of my life."

At an age when I should be enjoying beautiful romances and moonlit nights, I seem to have been constantly thinking about how to support a family, although... I don't mean to complain.

Through this experience, Xu Qi learned that Ying's parents had died early, and she had a younger sister to support.

Sakura started working part-time during her university years, supporting her family at a young age. This continued even after she started working…

"I just feel regret, Xu Qi... Can you understand this kind of regret?"

That feeling of suddenly looking back and realizing it's all too late—others might still have a beautiful woman waiting for them in the dim light, but I… it seems like I have nothing left.

85. Sakura! This won't do!

Xu Qi's heart tightened. He had never seen Ying show such a vulnerable side before.

After all, that's Sakura... Just like what she said to Eden that day, she's his mentor in life! In Xu Qi's memory, Sakura has always been the most perfect career woman in his eyes.

But Xu Qi seems never to have considered that even someone as perfect as Ying has a vulnerable side.

Even Kevin has times when he hides away and secretly eats instant noodles to relieve stress, so what about Sakura? Xu Qi seems to have never seen Sakura express this kind of pressure...

"Sometimes I'm really envious... I envy Mei, I envy Airi, I envy Fu Hua... I envy that they are still young, I envy that they still have the right to experience what love is like."

But I... I really can't anymore. My relatives in Japan sometimes urge me to get married and have children, and I've thought about trying.

I've gone on blind dates and attended several social gatherings, but I've messed it up almost every time...

Those people always talk about—work, kids, post-marital demands, and some even ask me about my sexual experience—I just cut them off right then and there!

"what?"

Seeing Xu Qi's astonished expression, Ying suddenly relaxed a lot. She covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. I just hit him on the head with a plate."

That's quite an exaggeration!

"I started to wonder, am I the only woman my age fit to talk about these things? Then I realized, it seems so... no one would talk about romance with a 28-year-old woman anymore..."

At this point, Sakura suddenly understood why so many people liked to drink. At that moment, she also really wanted to... really wanted to have a drink.

Fueled by the alcohol, she poured out her heart! Although... she felt she was already a little drunk.

It is not the body that is intoxicated, but the soul.

Xu Qi sat silently to the side, not expecting Ying to be under so much pressure. It just goes to show that nothing in the adult world is easy…

Xu Qi reached out and put his hand on Ying's shoulder, wanting to comfort her.

However, as soon as they put their hands on it, Sakura quickly grabbed Xu Qi's hand.

"Huh? Sister Ying?"

Sakura slowly turned her body, and Xu Qi held his breath—the pressure was so strong… What’s going on? Why does it feel like Sakura is a completely different person?

Sakura looked up at Xu Qi, and their eyes met in mid-air. Xu Qi trembled—a fox?

The moment this image inexplicably popped into her mind, Sakura suddenly pounced on Xu Qi, pinning him firmly to the sofa.

"cherry!?"

"Let's continue with what we just discussed."

what?

"I'm also a little curious about what it feels like. Even Ellie... can't help but fall into it and can't extricate herself."

"Sakura, something's not right with you. Calm down."

"I'm fine, and I know exactly what I'm doing."

Indeed, Sakura's voice remained as unhurried and gentle as ever, carrying a natural charm.

"These things only feel wonderful when done with someone you love!"

Xu Qi was getting anxious; he couldn't just stand by and watch something go wrong between him and Ying!

"is it?"

Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

cute……

Sakura undoubtedly caught Xu Qi's momentary lapse in concentration—she suddenly leaned down and forcefully kissed Xu Qi's lips! The beauty and impact of that moment left Sakura mesmerized…

Xu Qi seemed to have not expected things to develop this way. At first, he was stunned by Ying's innocent request for a kiss.

She really doesn't know anything... She's 28 years old, and she looks so mature like an older sister, but it seems like she doesn't know what to do next after the initial contact between their lips.

She's so immature that she's not even as good as Mei.

Old maid...

Xu Qi had just had this thought in his mind when Ying pinched him hard on the waist.

We understand each other perfectly!

Xu Qi finally came to his senses and realized that Ying seemed to be enjoying herself just like that. With her eyes closed, she showed no trace of the domineering way she had pushed Xu Qi away earlier.

Let me teach you...

Xu Qi hugged Ying tightly and suddenly kissed her lips.

That kissing skill, which had been honed several times on Mei and Airi and was already quite sophisticated, was being used on another woman for the first time.

What Xu Qi didn't expect was that this woman... would be Ying.

They embraced passionately, and Xu Qi pulled his cumbersome pajamas down to his waist. He wrapped one arm around Ying and couldn't help but start making a fuss with the other.

I've already experienced it before. It's different from Airi and Mei. It's less soft, but just as irresistible.

Xu Qi tried to take the initiative and seize control.

This method has proven effective on Mei and Airi time and time again.

But he was met with a rebuff when he tried to seduce Sakura; he failed and his body was firmly suppressed by Sakura.

It feels like I'm the one who's actually getting pleasure...

It wasn't until quite a while later that Ying gently helped Xu Qi sit up.

She licked her lips, seemingly still savoring the feeling from just now. Her pink pajamas had already fallen off, and she didn't care about their open appearance; after all, it was Xu Qi.

Xu Qi... his expression was very strange.

In the end... he still made a mistake with Sakura-nee...

"What's with that expression?" Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Xu Qi shook his head decisively.

No, no... I wouldn't dare...

As the hazy moonlight shone down, Ying slowly reached out and stroked Xu Qi as if she were infatuated.

This made Xu Qi feel even more strange.

"That's really good..."

what?

"No wonder both Airi and Mei seem to like clinging to you; it's truly an unforgettable feeling."

There's a pervert...

"You just said that you only feel pleasure when you're with someone you love, right?"

Xu Qi nodded helplessly.

Sakura was very satisfied with the answer.
