Moving to the Golden Courtyard

Nono's voice and that sweet address... Ah... It was his little darling—Griseo.

Opening the door, he saw the little princess of the Golden Courtyard standing outside, hugging a huge Homu plushie. Her eyes blinked, as beautiful as stars.

"What's wrong, Griseo? It's so late, what's up?"

"What could little Griseo want with you?~~"

Xu Qi: ???

The scene before him was incredibly strange. Griseo was indeed speaking, but the voice didn't belong to her at all, and... wasn't that voice...?

"Of course, I'm the one who came to find you!?~~"

She jumped out from behind Griseo! Elysia, who was originally confident that she could surprise Xu Qi, was only met with a pair of dead fish eyes staring back.

"Uh... Eh? I clearly learned this magic trick from Vil-V for a long time?" Elysia tapped her chin with one hand, looking puzzled. "Griseo, did you not cooperate with me?"

"I did? Sister Elysia, I cooperated a lot just now."

"Ah..." Covering his face with one hand—Xu Qi let out a desperate "Ah" sound, like a person about to die of thirst who sees a Chinese bayberry and dies of excitement.

Why... why do I live in this place, meeting such inexplicable people!

The corner of his clothes was tugged.

Xu Qi lowered his hand and looked at Griseo in confusion.

"Actually, I wanted to find Xu Qi, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I called Sister Elysia... Xu Qi, don't blame Sister Elysia, okay?"

His heart felt purified, as expected, elementary school students... cough! Cough cough!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qi walked out of the room, sat on the sofa in the living room, and patted the space beside him, signaling Griseo to come over as well.

Only when Elysia also walked over lightly did Xu Qi give her a glare.

Xu Qi lay on the sofa, turning to the side to allow Griseo to snuggle in his arms.

Elysia lay next to Griseo, looking at the tenderness in Xu Qi's eyes at this moment, and couldn't help but smile.

Like a family...

"What's wrong, Griseo? What do you want to see me about?"

"I want to hear Xu Qi tell a story... It's been a long time since I heard one after Xu Qi was hospitalized last time..."

"Tell a story?" Elysia was stunned, pouting and looking at Xu Qi as if complaining, "I didn't know you had this talent? You've never told me a story."

"Scram."

"You're being mean to me..."

"Uh..."

To be honest, even though he knew that Elysia's current grievance was fake, Xu Qi still subconsciously felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help but want to comfort her.

Does this woman even know how charming she is?

He sighed.

Reaching out and rubbing Elysia's gorgeous pink hair, he said softly, "Alright, it's my fault. Then, let's tell you a story today, okay? Little Griseo?"

Looking left at Xu Qi and right at Elysia, Griseo suddenly covered her eyes.

"Griseo, what are you doing?"

"Mom Aponia said that children can't watch when adults are lovelove."

Silence, sometimes it comes so suddenly.

Xu Qi took several deep breaths, not knowing what to say.

Elysia's cheeks were a little flushed for a moment, she secretly glanced at Xu Qi, and then couldn't help but gently pat Griseo's head, and smiled.

"Really, how can you tell that we are... are lovelove, little Griseo? You need to learn well~~"

"Oh... I understand, Sister Elysia."

"Cough!" To cover up the embarrassment, Xu Qi felt it was better to change the subject quickly.

He gently patted little Griseo's back and began to narrate.

"On the battlefield, Kira once again encountered his best friend Aslan, but this time, they may never be able to restore their former friendship..."

On the city highway, a silver-white light was speeding at an astonishing 130 yards!

Come on... this is a city highway!

And because of the night, people could only see a streak of light passing by, and they could be sure that it was an incredibly cool motorcycle.

But nothing else could be known.

On the motorcycle, the woman leaned forward, her silver-white hair fluttering behind her, like the wake of the motorcycle cutting through the air.

Even though her exquisite and charming face was hidden inside the helmet, her proud figure could still invigorate people.

Seeing such a beautiful sight late at night, there was no sleepiness at all...

"At our current speed, we're 5 minutes from the destination."

"Okay... time to accelerate! Heavy Bunny!"

"Roger. Roger."

"Kira killed Nicol, and he also killed Aslan's friend. That one strike completely shattered his past with Aslan, and along with it, their deep friendship..."

"Waaah!... Sniff! Waaah..."

Curled up in Xu Qi's arms, Griseo sobbed softly, "Why... why did it have to be like this... Mr. Kira and Mr. Aslan were such good friends."

"Yeah... why indeed? But that's war."

"Then... why have war?" Griseo's voice still held a thick sob, but Xu Qi already had a faint smile on his lips.

"Yeah... why do humans constantly fight?"

A cool sensation came from the back of his hand. Xu Qi looked and saw Elysia, her eyes equally red, holding his hand.

"I didn't know... you were such a storyteller."

Perhaps the atmosphere was too warm, Xu Qi held Elysia's small hand in return, and laughed, "There's a lot you don't know."

"Xu Qi..."

"Hmm?"

"I..."

"Ding-dong!~~ Ding-dong!~~"

The sudden doorbell startled Elysia and Griseo, who were immersed in the story, and also pulled Xu Qi out of that atmosphere.

He noticed he was holding Elysia's hand.

After hesitating for a long time, he chose to let go.

He stood up, patted Griseo's head, and said, "Alright, Griseo, it's already ten o'clock, go back to sleep, okay?"

"Okay!" Griseo nodded heavily, "Good night, Brother Xu Qi."

"Good night."

After watching Griseo go upstairs, Xu Qi nodded at Elysia.

"I'll go open the door, see who it is."

"Okay... go ahead."

For some reason, Elysia's expression... seemed a little lonely.

Xu Qi took a deep breath. A strong sense of guilt suddenly wrapped around his heart, even making it difficult for him to breathe.

But he didn't dare to think about it too much, after all, how could a girl like Elysia... fall in love with him?

Shaking his head, Xu Qi walked to the door.

Who could it be? Coming over so late...

16. Bronya: Let's go! Get in the house with me!

The moment the door opened, Xu Qi couldn't even believe his eyes—Bronya... Bronya Zaychik!

And instinct told Xu Qi—her condition seemed a little off.

"Miss Bronya? What are you..."

Outside the door, Bronya took several deep breaths. She seemed to be calming herself...

But she failed.

Bronya grabbed Xu Qi's arm! Her whole body leaned forward as if she was going to stick to him.

What big scenes hadn't Xu Qi seen? But sorry, he really hadn't seen this kind of scene... mainly because this Bronya, dressed like a career woman, leaned in like this, Xu Qi only had to lower his head slightly...

The spectacular sight in front of her would be revealed without concealment—what a joke... are you using this to test cadres? Which cadre can withstand this kind of test?

"You... have to take responsibility for me!"

Elysia, who was about to come up to ask what was going on, had just moved her feet when she heard... such a bold sentence.

This! ... This! ... This! ...

Could it be! ...

Elysia pointed at Xu Qi, her face flushed, "...Shameless! You already have Mei and me!"

What do you mean "have Mei and me!?" You explain that to me clearly, Elysia!

Xu Qi felt his brain trembling!

The key is that the Bronya in front of him still looked like a woman obsessed, grabbing his arm and not letting go! What's wrong, big sister? You should explain what's going on!

"Where's your room?"

Xu Qi blankly pointed subconsciously.

"Let's go! Follow me inside!"

Xu Qi: !!??

Elysia: ??!!

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait a minute!" Elysia, her face flushed, blocked them, waving her hands wildly as she said, "This isn't going to work... There's absolutely no way this is going to work, right!"

Bronya, with what little reason she had left, glanced at Elysia, then at Xu Qi, whom she was dragging along. She seemed to understand something.

She reached out again! And grabbed Elysia's arm.

"Let's go! We're all going inside!"

Xu Qi: Huh?

Elysia: Eh!?

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut, and Bronya, dragging one person by each arm, entered the room.

In the pitch-black living room, Kevin, who had been groping his way up to get a drink of water, inadvertently witnessed the whole thing...

After the door slammed shut, he took a sip of water to calm his nerves and then offered his assessment: "COOL."

Shaking his head, Kevin couldn't help but remark, "These young people are really playing it up these days."

After a moment's thought, Kevin opened his phone.
