We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Hmm... but I have a feeling there's still someone outside the door..."

"Really? You must be imagining things, Nia."

"Is...is that so?" For some reason, Gretchen's image suddenly flashed through Aponia's mind, and in that instant, her body tensed up!

Xu Qi had not anticipated this sudden change. This twist caused him to lose his third round.

Washed by the heat, Aponia, in this extreme experience, thought—it shouldn't be...Gresch, right...?

905. The colors they wear are so dreamy...

Although Xu Qi said he didn't plan to sleep all night, he was just joking with Aponia.

This is the first time, after all. Xu Qi wouldn't be unable to show even this much chivalry.

Holding Aponia's plump body, Xu Qi wasn't satisfied, but he could tolerate it a little. Aponia's body was truly captivating.

Even now that everything is over, Xu Qi can't help but stroke Nia's round and full heart.

Only there could he find some peace of mind.

"I thought it would be the same as before... But it's a completely different experience. Now I understand why they're so obsessed with you."

"Is Nia the same?"

Nestled close to Xu Qi, Aponia nodded with a joyful expression.

"Of course I am too, but I still feel that some sins... are not because of the behavior itself, but because I always feel that I am indulging my own inner desires."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

“I am a nun, such desires are wrong…”

Xu Qi didn't say anything—you are my nun, whatever I say is right, is right.

He simply whispered in Aponia's ear in a teasing tone, "From now on, your sins will probably accumulate a lot."

But it's okay, the Lord will forgive you..."

The pressure on her hand increased slightly, but it didn't cause Aponia any pain. Instead, it gave her a strange feeling, causing her to involuntarily twist her body.

“Use this method as your compensation to God.”

"That really is a... **god.

Xu Qi smiled and closed his eyes.

There are no gods here... only a couple who love each other deeply.

But Xu Qi seemed to have thought of something, opened her eyes and said, "No, Sister Nia, it's probably not appropriate to just sleep here like this..."

"Ugh?"

“Gresh…”

With just one name, Aponia immediately understood what Xu Qi meant—oh right… Gretchen is still sleeping in her room!

What if you wake up in the morning and find no one next to you...

Thinking of this, Aponia hurriedly got out of bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she stumbled. If Xu Qi hadn't been watching her closely, she probably would have fallen.

My legs are so weak I can't put any strength to them...

Aponia glanced helplessly at Xu Qi, who was scratching his head.

"Change your clothes first, and I'll help you back later."

Xu Qi found a nightgown for Aponia to put on, and then helped her back to her room. Actually, her legs had only gone weak for a moment.

Aponia was not a frail woman like Alicia.

But to be able to snuggle against Xu Qi like this, being pampered by him...

It feels pretty good.

The two quietly entered the room and saw Gretchen sleeping soundly on the bed, and couldn't help but smile.

"Xu Qi..."

"Ok?"

"What do you think? If we have children in the future, will we... end up like this?"

"Ah~~" Xu Qi couldn't help but imagine that kind of life and laughed, "It should be, but it would be difficult to be as cute as Gretchen."

“Ah… I didn’t mean that, I meant…” In the pitch-black room, Aponia’s cheeks still had a faint rosy glow.

"Like this, after the child falls asleep, we'll do some things... that we enjoy..."

Xu Qi: ? ? ?

It seems... that's true...

Huh? But seriously, has Sister Nia already thought about things so far in the future?

She gently got into bed and lay down next to Greta. Perhaps it was because she had just finished with Xu Qi, but it felt as if life was already growing inside her.

Or perhaps it's just because we were talking about this topic.

In short, Aponia now seems to radiate maternal glow.

Xu Qi smiled and was about to lie down next to him when he suddenly noticed something on the bedside table—a Switch?

He approached discreetly and touched it—it was still hot.

Ah... if my older sister finds out, she'll definitely spank me again.

But this little girl didn't sleep at all just now... But it's okay, she just got up to play games. What if she accidentally saw me and Sister Nia when she got up...

Cough! Probably not.

After putting the game console away, Xu Qi lay down on the other side of Greta.

Goodnight, Nia, goodnight, little Gretchen.

"OK, good night."

······

The next day, Gretchen groggily opened her eyes, her small mouth slightly agape in confusion.

Backing her was the familiar embrace that only Aponia's mother would give her, but the person in front of her made Gretchen a little confused.

Is it... Xu Qi's brother?

After all, this had never happened before. Even if Xu Qi managed to lull her to sleep, he would leave afterwards.

But... I'm so happy...

Comfortably squinting her eyes, Grey was about to snuggle into Xu Qi's arms when a memory from last night suddenly flashed through her mind.

Last night... I secretly got up and finished playing games, then went to find Sister Pado to open the door, and then... I saw Brother Xu Qi and Mom Aponia...

Hmm...how strange...

What are they doing?

"Hmm... um? Gretsch? She's awake?"

"Good morning, Brother Xu Qi." A soft, sweet voice rang in his ears, seemingly trying to brighten Xu Qi's day.

He ruffled Gretchen's hair, looked past the little girl, and saw Aponia still fast asleep behind her—it seemed that last night had been a bit too much for her.

"Gresh, do you want to get up? Or should you sleep a little longer?"

"Sleep a little longer..."

"Then I'll get up first, don't wake up Aponia's mom~~ She was a little tired last night, so she needs to sleep a little longer."

"Ok!"

Greta nodded vigorously.

"Oh, right."

Xu Qi suddenly leaned close to Greta's face and grinned mischievously.

"Did Greta not sleep after we left last night?"

"!"

"The Switch is still hot. Next time I want to play it secretly, I should at least be careful... otherwise my sister will find out and beat me again."

So that's what you discovered...

Little Grey nodded, looking as if she had done something wrong.

"I know I was wrong, Brother Xu Qi..."

Xu Qi chuckled.

"I didn't scold you. I did the same when I was a kid. I would sneak up in the middle of the night to play games. But it's okay if it happens once or twice. You can't stay up all night all the time, or you won't grow tall."

"Yes, Gretchen understands."

The little girl is quite sensible, which puts Xu Qi at ease.

Seeing Xu Qi get out of bed, get dressed, and go out, Greta breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, the most important thing hadn't been discovered.

But what exactly were they doing? After all, at that moment, the colors on both Xu Qi and Aponia were...so dreamlike...

906. Is your cherry blossom viewing proper?

"Speaking of which, will the cruise ship dock this time?"

"Of course, no matter how many interesting things there are on the cruise ship, you can't possibly enjoy them all in three or four days. This time, the cruise ship will dock in Nagasaki. Don't worry, the Golden Group has already taken care of the visa and everything else."

"Huh?" Xu Qi wasn't worried about visas or anything like that at all.

Just leave everything to Sister Eden.

but……

"It's Nagasaki... I'm actually looking forward to it."

On the deck at the bow of the ship, Xu Qi leaned against the railing, his clothes swaying slightly in the sea breeze. Beside him, Eden wore a light dress and had a strange expression.

Eden said, as if he knew what Xu Qi was expecting.

"Don't worry, there won't be any Soyo."

"Pfft!" Xu Qi burst out laughing. "I have a condition where I laugh whenever I hear the name Nagasaki Motoyo."

Eden glanced sideways at Xu Qi.

"Do you like Su Shi so much because you feel she has a motherly quality about her?"

Xu Qi's expression froze.

"In this respect, she's quite similar to Aponia; both are mature and have an urge to call someone 'Mom'...right?"

Xu Qi left the railing and hugged his sister from behind.

"Does your sister know?"

"When Aponia woke up this morning, her face looked suspicious... Besides, how well do I know Aponia? If I couldn't tell, wouldn't I be a terrible best friend?"

Bypassing Eden's long, flowing hair, Xu Qi kissed her neck.

This intimate gesture successfully made the older sister's body stiffen.

Although she did develop a relationship with Xu Qi that went beyond that of siblings, there was still one final step that hadn't been taken... Eden still habitually treated Xu Qi as her younger brother.

She could only reproach Xu Qi's sudden intimacy.

"Don't do anything reckless..."

"Haven't I messed around with my sister enough times?"

"you!……"
