Moving to the Golden Courtyard

"How is that possible?" Xu Qi asked with a smile. "Professor, I need you to monitor the overall situation from the Golden Courtyard's central control console."

Mobius was about to smile, but Xu Qi's next sentence wiped the smile off her face.

"Prepare the V2V Armor if necessary."

Mei frowned subconsciously. V2V, what was that?

Mobius and Vil-V both darkened their expressions. They looked at Xu Qi, and finally the Professor slowly said, "You're dreaming."

"Professor." This time, Xu Qi didn't avoid her gaze. He raised his head and looked directly into Mobius's eyes, saying, "Please... I can't stand by and watch this happen!"

"Suit yourself! I won't be responsible if you die!"

Leaving those words behind, Mobius walked straight out of the meeting room, slamming the door shut behind her—you could tell she was in a bad mood.

Inside the meeting room, everyone looked at each other, and then all eyes turned to Xu Qi.

So...

"What is V2V?"

Mei asked what everyone was thinking.

"It's an exoskeleton armor I developed. The first generation was called ν, and the second generation was called ν2." Vil-V's expression was also terrible, but she didn't have Mobius's temper.

"The third generation is the V2V, a high-output exoskeleton armor that Mobius and I developed together. Theoretically, its pilot would have to withstand acceleration that could reach a limit of 15 Gs, or even higher..."

Mei's face turned pale instantly! 15 Gs... could the human body withstand that?!

"It's okay," Xu Qi said expressionlessly. "I am very sure that I can handle the V2V now."

"No! I don't agree!"

25. Someone Has to Take Responsibility, Xu Qi

Inside the meeting room, Mei grabbed Xu Qi's arm!

In her beautiful eyes, there was a faint glimmer of tears. This time, Mei spoke very resolutely!

"You almost ended up in the hospital last time, what about this time?! Can you think about yourself more! Just... for me, okay?"

If Xu Qi could still look Mobius in the eye without backing down, But when facing Mei... Xu Qi couldn't bring himself to meet her gaze no matter what.

He could only lower his head silently, take a deep breath, and slowly say, "I understand. I will definitely not put on that armor unless it is absolutely necessary."

Mei was about to say something more, but Elysia stopped her.

The two women looked at each other, and Mei understood...

Since Xu Qi had already made his preparations, then perhaps no one could stop him.

For him to say that was already a big concession.

Xu Qi took Mei's hand. Although he still didn't dare to meet her gaze, Xu Qi still said, "Trust me... okay? Even for you, I will definitely not mess around."

Xu Qi and Mei drove all the way to Xia Ya's residence.

Naturally, they were driving Eden's car. Anyway, there were a bunch of them parked in the Golden Courtyard's underground garage, and Xu Qi always drove whichever one he wanted.

On the way, Mei sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window, and remained silent.

You could tell that the girl was very angry right now.

But Xu Qi didn't have a good solution—after all, the reason Mei was angry was because she cared about Xu Qi...

Xia Ya lived very close to Jiuting Base, in a villa district nearby. Driving to work in the morning only took twenty minutes.

Speaking of which, this was Xu Qi's first time coming to this place. He had only known about it before.

He never expected that the reason for his first visit would be to stop the other party from carrying out a terrorist attack...

What an absurd reason.

The car stopped, and Mei was still sitting in the passenger seat. Xu Qi thought for a while and suddenly said, "Mei, Mei?"

Mei ignored him and tried to open the car door on her own—of course, she didn't succeed. Xu Qi controlled the passenger seat door, how could he let her open it?

"What?"

"Look at me, okay?"

After hesitating for a while, although she was still angry, Mei turned her head to face Xu Qi. She wanted to see what Xu Qi was going to say...

"Mmm!"

Pulling the girl's shoulders forcefully, Xu Qi kissed Mei's full lips.

The moment their lips met, Mei's mind went blank. Of course, so did Xu Qi's...

After only being stunned for a moment, Mei began to struggle! But she struggled with little force, as if even she was hesitating whether to push him away or continue.

How could Xu Qi let that happen?

After realizing what was happening, although he himself was surprised by this bold behavior, Xu Qi reached out with his other hand and wrapped it around the girl's slender waist.

The car's interior was already cramped, and with just a slight struggle, Mei realized there was no escape, and she sank into it...

She was being kissed...

And it was her first kiss...

But the person was Xu Qi...

Hehe...

The sweet taste made them somewhat unable to break away from just a simple kiss. They completely forgot where they were, and they completely forgot everything that had happened before.

Mei was equally moved by the complete devotion, and her hands gradually caressed Xu Qi's body, embracing him.

The two of them passionately kissed in the car like this, neither wanting it to end...

But they seemed to have overlooked something important—at the Golden Courtyard's central control console, Mobius had grumbling opened a bag of potato chips, intending to soothe her wounded heart.

And then... she saw a scene shocking enough to stun her for ten thousand years...

The potato chips fell from her hand to the ground, and suddenly she felt—they weren't good anymore...

Damn dog couple... showing affection in front of me...

Wuwu! Have you ever considered the feelings of a single woman who's been single for 30 years and no one wants? You're simply not human!

After a long while, their lips parted.

The two of them opened their eyes almost simultaneously, and both saw the slightly flushed cheeks of the other.

Mei lightly pursed her lips, seemingly still savoring the feeling from just now. Xu Qi, on the other hand, was filled with a sense of lingering fear—he didn't know why, it was just an impulse.

He didn't want Mei to be angry with him like this anymore, so... he kissed her.

Although it seemed illogical, men sometimes really don't need logic.

Fortunately... judging by Mei's appearance, she seemed to accept it quite well, and things didn't develop in a worse direction.

"You..." Mei blushed, glared at Xu Qi, and immediately punched Xu Qi's chest after letting go. It was a bit heavy—it seemed the girl still minded.

"Do you know that was my first kiss?"

"Yeah."

"You!..."

"Mei!"

With his hands on Mei's shoulders, Xu Qi said seriously, "I like you! No... I love you!"

At the central control console, Mobius found another bottle of cola, replaced the potato chips with popcorn, hung her dead fish eyes, crossed her legs, and enjoyed the third-rate love movie in front of her.

It's so damn annoying... but it's so damn sweet, you bastard.

"Too... too unfair... to say these things at this time..."

"I'm just afraid that maybe after today, there won't be time to express this feeling."

Mei's face turned pale again.

She grabbed Xu Qi's collar, suppressing her anger as she said, "What do you want to do!? I won't allow it... I won't allow you to die!"

Xu Qi sighed.

Just when Mei thought she had successfully stopped his dangerous thoughts...

"Mmm!"

The second kiss was obviously a bit more skilled than the first.

For a man and woman who were both kissing for the first time, their inexperienced kissing skills were enough to make them feel sweetness and happiness.

After a long while, their lips parted.

This time, Mei understood.

"You're planning to just keep kissing me until I agree, right?"

"Yeah." Xu Qi nodded very straightforwardly.

"You!..." Faced with this straightforward approach, Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How did she end up with such a! Such a... boyfriend...

"I know it's selfish to do this, but Mei... now that I know the whole story, this is the responsibility I must bear! I won't sit idly by and watch all this happen, absolutely!"

Mei reached out and touched Xu Qi's chest. In her eyes, there was both the happiness of finally becoming lovers with the one she loved, and a hint of sadness.

"Where are you being selfish... the selfish one... is actually me..."

Mei took a deep breath.

"Promise me! Absolutely!... Absolutely have to live! Okay?"

"Yeah, of course I promise you, Mei."

After saying that, as if it wasn't enough, Xu Qi suddenly leaned close to Mei's ear and whispered, "If I survive, can I get a reward of touching..."

"Go to hell! Xu Qi! Get out of the car now!"

26,My name is Raven, not Natasha Sciola

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

Xu Qi and Mei stood outside the villa's gate, pressing the doorbell for a long time, but no one came out to open the door.

"No way... Could he be asleep?"

As far as Mei was concerned, she certainly hoped Xia Ya was inside the villa. That might mean the plan hadn't started yet, and they still had a chance to end it before any accidents occurred.

However...

No one came to open the door from inside the villa, as if it were a dead house.

"Not here?"

With deep disappointment, Mei sighed softly—the first step of the plan was already making her feel terrible.

Xu Qi, on the other hand, didn't seem too surprised.
