We moved to Golden Courtyard

Huh? Kosmo?

Xu Qi pinpointed the last person, Kosmo, to get off the car. Beside him stood a girl—Desdobia.

Xu Qi has a very deep impression of this blonde girl with a single ponytail.

Look at them chatting and laughing—that's wonderful, this is youth.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Qi felt a nudge on his shoulder and looked to the side. Mei's bright eyes immediately put Xu Qi at ease.

“Look, look at Kosmo.”

Following Xu Qi's gaze, Mei suddenly realized and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "At first, Kosmo was planning to come alone, but it was Sister Eden who took the initiative to invite Daisy Dobia over."

So this is another side of Eden...

Mei suddenly looked at Xu Qi with a strange smile.

"Just like you back then... I was the one who actively pursued you, but you were as dense as a blockhead."

"Well... there are still some differences." Xu Qi changed the subject.

"However, Eden still separated their rooms, so they didn't stay together."

"They're all still young, that's normal."

Mei raised an eyebrow, suddenly grabbed Xu Qi's arm, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "But when we went on our trip, we always shared a room. You're all lust and no guts, why didn't you just think of eating me up?"

She's so good at it!

Xu Qi put his arm around Mei's slender waist and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, gently pecked the girl's lips.

"Little girl, I've got some nerve now. I'll show you what's what tonight."

Mei could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

So... all your efforts to make advance preparations, have they been useful? To deal with Xu Qi... you still have to use this direct approach to provoke him.

Mei understands Xu Qi too well.

878. No ship girls, how about mecha girls?

"But then again, I haven't seen Mei..."

Even as it was almost time to board the ship, Xu Qi still hadn't seen Dr. Mei drive over.

"Did you oversleep and forget the time?"

“Then I think she’s not that confused yet.” Möbius couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Xu Qi’s words.

"Since she said she would come by herself, we don't need to worry about her. Let's just board the ship."

Xu Qi was taken aback, then seemed to realize something, scratched his head, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "No way... if that's the case, isn't that a bit too high-profile..."

According to the schedule, the cruise ship should depart at 9:30 AM. Since we haven't seen anyone, let's just assume that Dr. Mei and the others will get here in their own way...

But to be honest, with a cruise ship this big, it feels like the number of staff on board is almost equal to the number of members in their studio.

What's the name of this ship?

"Golden Paradise".

The name has a somewhat predictable feel to it...

So this cruise ship is actually entirely an Eden Group property, right?

At this moment, Eden, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and glanced at Xu Qi, saying, "Of course, this ship is yours too."

"!"

Xu Qi held his breath. This! ...Is this the way a rich woman attacks?! He felt like he might fall for her very quickly!

Many of the girls present couldn't help but click their tongues in disapproval after hearing this.

I imagine they all felt pretty much the same way.

"Tsk! So what if you're rich!"

As Eden boarded the ship, he explained, "At the stern, there are many premium interior cabins. The rooms I've arranged for your company's employees are mostly there."

From here on, there's no need to emphasize Eden.

The bow of the ship must be lined with incredibly luxurious suites; you can already feel the extravagance of the wealthy...

The entire cruise ship has 20 decks, and Xu Qi and the others' rooms are all on the 14th deck.

"There are only 20 gold suites on the entire ship, and each room has its own unique name. Each room has a dedicated butler in charge."

However… I don’t think everyone really needs it, so I’ll let the housekeepers go on vacation for a while.”

Is there a butler?

"However, the place is quite large, so for the next four days, my secretary Anna will act as your housekeeper and take care of your itinerary. Is that alright?"

That's definitely not the case, after all, everyone knows how capable Anna is.

In particular, although we were stepping onto such a luxurious red carpet in the cabin, the rooms around us were all true VIP suites with exclusive services.

But as expected... in terms of lifestyle habits, this did not have much of an impact on them.

"All I need is a laboratory."

Where is the gym?

"Hmm... are there any kitchens where you can cook for yourself?"

Is the air conditioning cold at night?

Is this lock secure?

All that aside, Kitty, what do you mean by asking that question?! This is Eden's ship, calm down! You can't possibly be trying to make some extra money on this ship!

Eden wasn't surprised at all.

After all, everyone in the Golden Courtyard is a very individualistic person...

Thinking of this, I looked at Xu Qi—especially this one.

"I'll go put my luggage away first. Once we disembark, let's all go to the bow of the ship and take a look. The scenery there should be quite nice."

As soon as Xu Qi finished speaking, the girls, who had been eagerly waiting, ran off like the wind!

Delta was forced to chase after them relentlessly.

"You guys! Don't run around!"

They're really full of energy.

Xu Qi found her golden suite, Gardenia Fragrance—indeed, every suite has its own name…

Just then, Mei and Airi, carrying their luggage, stopped next to her.

"You two are still sharing a room... just like back in Guangcheng."

"Hmph? Of course! I arranged to share a room with Mei before we left, hmm? You're not allowed to sneak in at night, okay?"

"I'm not a cat..."

Mei chuckled and said to Airi beside her, "Just don't sneak out at night to knock on Xu Qi's door."

"Ah...no, no."

How suspicious!

Pushing open the door, I realized this time it wasn't like Guangcheng, where I'd be sharing a bed with Maomao. But then again, who does Maomao live with? I wonder who everyone else is living with.

If you knock on the door in the middle of the night and find someone who's not feeling well inside, that wouldn't be good...

For example, it wouldn't be good if the cat shared a room with Bronya.

Xu Qi casually placed his luggage in a corner. He was no longer surprised by the exquisite decoration of the room—he had already been surprised once in Guangcheng.

Besides, I've seen a lot of things by spending these years with Eden.

But to be honest, the room is quite big, especially if Xu Qi is the only one staying there...

It might even feel a bit empty.

The balcony overlooks the dock, and there's a comfortable deck chair and table that Fu Hua would probably love.

Xu Qi shrugged and didn't pack much—he was a man, so there was nothing he needed to prepare.

The ship's horn sounded, and the cruise ship sailed away from the dock. Xu Qi followed the signs in the corridor and arrived at the bow deck.

There was no one here at the moment. The boundless river stretched out before them, not the azure blue of the sea, and there were no seagulls.

After all, this is the mouth of the Yangtze River, and cruise ships have to sail a distance before entering the sea.

The next four days will mostly be spent on this ship, which is quite amazing.

Although I've had a bad impression of cruise ships since I was a child.

For example, the Titanic, the Titanic, and... the Titanic.

Xu Qi couldn't help but smile softly.

Let's think of something positive, like whether this cruise ship will turn into a beautiful girl—a ship girl!

Suddenly, Xu Qi squinted and stared into the distance at the sky directly in front of him. Why did he seem to see three small black dots in his field of vision?

Wait a minute... what the hell is that?!

The black spots continued to grow, with one being particularly noticeable!

Even the pale green HK particles around the perimeter can be seen!

That's it! ...

"The Exia armor has arrived at the Golden Paradise and requests to board."

"allow."

The blue armored vehicle rapidly approached Xu Qi! And then came to an abrupt stop right in front of Xu Qi.

The terrifying speed created a gust of wind that billowed Xu Qi's clothes.

An exoskeleton armor I've never seen before, but the mental energy fluctuations inside...

Exia's outer armor opened layer by layer. Because Xu Qi's perspective was completely facing the sun, he couldn't see anything clearly. However, when the person inside jumped out of the armor and threw herself into Xu Qi's arms...

The rich texture and the long, barely visible purple hair—there's no mistake.

"Mei?"

Mei gently kissed Xu Qi's lips.

"Yes, I'm here, Xu Qi."

879. Paddo is not a cat, but a beautiful girl.

There's no doubt that mecha is the ultimate romance for men.

And then, inside the mecha sits a beautiful female pilot, who, after exiting the mecha, quickly throws herself into your arms and gives you a passionate kiss…

Is this dreamlike scene really not from a comic book?

The kiss wasn't long, and when Xu Qi subconsciously touched Mei's body, he discovered that it felt unexpectedly smooth and cold.

Is it a bodysuit specifically designed for piloting exoskeleton armor?

Xu Qi involuntarily took a step back. The purple bodysuit clung perfectly to Mei, outlining her alluring peach-like body.

And the style of these clothes...

Almost immediately, an anime I watched as a child popped into my mind—Neon Genesis Evangelion.

"This is one of our latest products. It provides better protection for the pilot inside the machine and also has a heat dissipation function. As for the design of the suit..."

You know what I mean, right? It's Eva, isn't it?

Despite being a very experienced person, she spoke with a touch of playfulness, and this unexpected charm made Xu Qi's heart flutter.
