Moving to the Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi's tone was very serious when he said those words.

Did he like Mei? Of course, he did.

But as he said, the girl was so young, and if she made such a decision so early just because of a chance encounter online, a coincidental comfort…

Xu Qi didn't know about others, but he wanted the girl to experience more, whether it was meeting more people or understanding him better.

Of course, he wasn't a saint either. Letting Mei understand him more was also so that Mei could like him. Xu Qi didn't want to let go of such a good girl.

"I'm not young anymore. I'll be a sophomore next semester."

Not young anymore?

Xu Qi glanced sideways—indeed, not young anymore.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at the scenery."

Xu Qi naturally retracted his gaze. Mei raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

"I didn't know there was any scenery on me. So, is it pretty?"

"Very pretty, very magnificent. Remember to wear less next time when no one's around."

"Xu Qi!! You're still not my boyfriend even after all this!!"

Xu Qi smiled wryly, waving his hands repeatedly—so that was the sticking point?

Releasing Xu Qi's arm in a fit of pique, she felt a little regretful… the happy feeling of touching him was gone. Mei walked ahead with her hands behind her back, asking as if casually.

"Why are you free to come over today? And who was that girl you were playing games with last night? She called you so affectionately… is she a roommate you're renting with outside?"

She must be talking about Elysia. It seems little Mei is jealous.

"It's not that I don't allow you to talk to other girls… it's just that her attitude, she's too close to you! The girls in society aren't very pure, you have to be careful, don't get tricked."

Crack!

The sound of a twig snapping was clearly transmitted to Xu Qi's ears.

Mei didn't notice and continued talking.

Xu Qi glanced back nonchalantly—it's not my place to say, but… if you want to stalk, can you disguise yourselves a little better?

Elysia, wearing sunglasses is indeed a good idea, but at least dye that pink hair black before coming, okay? And Professor, have you ever seen anyone walking around campus in a lab coat?

I can't believe you guys came up with that… those Golden Courtyard folks…

"Don't worry." Xu Qi stepped forward, holding Mei's shoulders, as if to embrace her, the half-hug posture making Mei's cheeks flush instantly.

"She's just a normal friend, I'll definitely listen to you, Mei."

"I… is that so…"

The sound of twigs snapping behind them became more and more obvious and forceful, and the smile on Xu Qi's lips became more and more radiant.

"Ugh!! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to have a duel to the death with that guy!"

Saying that, Elysia prepared to rush forward to argue! Fortunately, Mobius was quick-witted and grabbed her wrist, Kosma and Fu Hua closely following behind to stop her.

"Elysia! Calm down, Elysia! Rushing up now means we won't see the fun, Elysia!"

"Elysia, sis! Forget it, Elysia, sis! It's not worth it! It's really not worth it!"

What a mess, those Golden Courtyard folks… oh, although I'm also one of them. Xu Qi thought with a bit of a headache.

"Mei, wait here for a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"I ran into some acquaintances."

Acquaintances? At this moment, Mei's mind raced.

She quickly came to Xu Qi's side, and once again took his arm, saying, "Let's go? I'll go with you."

This girl… is going to assert her dominance.

Chapter 4: Words Spoken While Looking at the Sky at a 45-Degree Angle Are Philosophy

"Hi~~ Hello, my name is Elysia, it's nice to meet you."

No one can reject Elysia, even if you are a woman like her.

Xu Qi had already witnessed her charm when he moved into the Golden Courtyard half a year ago.

He vaguely remembered that it was snowing lightly outside at the time, and the moment he opened the door, the woman leaped into view like an elf, leaving Xu Qi standing there dumbfounded for a long while before he came back to his senses.

He was able to get to know everyone in the Golden Courtyard so quickly thanks to her.

She was like a bond, tightly drawing the distance between them closer. If you want to know what is perfect and flawless in this world, I will not hesitate to show you Elysia.

So, even though Mei showed obvious vigilance and hostility when she saw her flower-like, radiant beauty, but now…

Xu Qi sat on the grass, right in front of him, Mei and Elysia were strolling along the riverbank, chatting and laughing.

Elysia seemed to be able to instantly gain the favor and trust of anyone. That girl, she could probably be friends with everyone...

"Heh, your girlfriend's being stolen away by another woman, and you don't have any reaction? Xu, you little rascal?"

The sarcastic words and that naturally charming voice told Xu Qi he didn't need to turn around to know it was Professor Mobius.

"Not really, I think it's pretty good."

"Oh..." Mobius seemed to understand something. "Already fantasizing about a threesome, are we?"

"Pfft!" Fu Hua, sitting next to Xu Qi, spat out a mouthful of water directly onto Kosma's face.

Kosma...

Kosma wiped their face and silently chose to leave.

As for Xu Qi?

He was no longer the kind of young man who would rush to deny such a high-level joke.

Looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, Xu Qi slowly said in a vicissitudinous tone, "Ah... indeed, after all, a threesome is every man's dream..."

"Don't say such outrageous things with such a serious tone!"

Fu Hua felt that, as a college student, she really shouldn't be hanging around these depraved adults—how did it come to this?

"Heh! You don't hide it at all."

Mobius leaned close behind Xu Qi, her slightly curled long hair brushing against Xu Qi's cheek, a little itchy, yet also a little comfortable, the rich fragrance seeming to envelop him.

Xu Qi knew that this was one of Mobius's favorite perfumes, only noticeable when very close, strong but not pungent, making one a little addicted.

"Remember to let me test the medicine when we get back."

"No reward? It's very painful, you know..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a soft touch from behind, the woman's voluptuous body pressed against him, as if hugging Xu Qi from behind, close to his earlobe, her eyes a scarlet red.

"Trying to escape?"

"Not escaping... not escaping..."

"Good thing you know what's good for you."

Of course? The reward was already in hand, and I'm a man of my word.

The professor straightened up, which made Xu Qi feel a pang of regret.

"Were you in this school before?"

"No, it was the Institute of Technology next door, but I used to come here often back then."

"Oh?~~" Mobius's eyes were playful.

"An engineering student, coming to a liberal arts university... to do what?"

"Don't ask me such rhetorical questions that everyone already knows the answer to..."

"Heh."

Sitting down next to Xu Qi on the other side, the professor looked at Elysia, who was chatting with Mei in the distance, and suddenly said something out of the blue.

"Elysia is always good to everyone."

"Huh? Ah... indeed." It was hard to imagine Elysia showing extreme disgust towards something. This girl... she seemed to understand everyone and loved everyone.

Xu Qi didn't know what the other party had experienced to develop such a personality. He could only sigh—if God could create Elysia, it meant he had an understanding of beauty.

"But I'm saying, I could sense that Elysia was a little angry when you went to Huazheng to see your little girlfriend."

"Huh?" Xu Qi's first reaction was that it was impossible. He laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Haha, don't joke around, Professor. I could believe it if you said you were a little angry."

Mobius remained noncommittal. She supported herself with her hands behind her, the white coat she always wore spreading out to both sides due to gravity, revealing her enchanting curves.

"Then let's just treat it as a joke, but one thing, before my medicine is completely developed—" Mobius's tone was more solemn than ever before.

"Don't even think about wearing V2V."

Xu Qi was silent for a while before replying, "Don't worry, Vil-V wouldn't agree either."

"Xu Qi!~~~"

Elysia suddenly waved in their direction, probably having had enough fun.

Xu Qi stood up and walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Help me and Mei take a picture, quick, quick!"

A tool is it?

"How about I do it? You go take a picture with them."

Mobius slowly walked forward and took the phone from Elysia's hand. Seeing Xu Qi standing there dumbfounded, she tilted her head and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go over there?"

Elysia put her hands together, looking at Mobius with a face full of gratification.

"Oh? Mobius, you're becoming more and more understanding."

"Get lost."

Perhaps the professor only gets this irritable when facing Elysia.

Xu Qi casually stood to the side, acting as if he hadn't thought about anything. Mei, seeing this, definitely ran to Xu Qi's side, her bright face full of contentment.

But when Elysia cheerfully propped herself up on Xu Qi's shoulders and jumped on, Mei's entire expression changed!

Mobius raised an eyebrow, frantically pressing buttons with her thumb, madly snapping photos of this world-famous painting of the trio.

"Damn it... Elysia! Have you gained weight again?!"

"Hmm? Ah... Xu Qi, you won't get a girlfriend if you say things like that to a girl."

"Um, Elysia, isn't this a little..."

"What's wrong, Mei? Is something wrong?"

"...Nothing..."

Mei turned her head away with a hint of loneliness, but suddenly realized that her right hand was being held, the warmth from the palm so familiar to her.

She looked at Xu Qi in surprise, hearing him say.

"Okay, look at the camera, time for a photo?"

Elysia, still clinging to Xu Qi, suddenly revealed a smile, truly unwilling to hide it even in the slightest... Xu Qi.

Mobius is very good at taking pictures.

In the picture, Xu Qi and Mei are holding hands, facing the camera. One has the serenity of a young man, a smile on his face, while the other is a little girl, slightly shy, her heart rippling.

And Elysia is looking at Xu Qi, the joy in her eyes impossible to hide no matter what.

This photo, it really must be carefully preserved
