Moving to the Golden Courtyard

Xu Qi said to Lieutenant Himeko beside him, "Looks like we won't have to die together after all, Lieutenant Himeko."

Faced with such a young man, Himeko couldn't help but flirt, "You're quite an interesting young man. How about being my blind date tonight?"

Xu Qi, who had been through countless battles and teased by all sorts of older women, would never admit defeat.

"If it's just for one night, I'd definitely jump at the chance, even though I haven't even seen what you look like."

"Is that so? Then you better worry a little. This older sister has very strong needs."

Xu Qi was rendered speechless.

"Next, the train's traction will disappear instantly, but its speed is too fast! We need to apply a sufficient force in the opposite direction."

Himeko chuckled—teased a little, and he couldn't help but change the subject?

What an interesting young man...

"What's your plan?"

Himeko very considerately picked up where he left off.

"V2V's output can continue to increase, but only for one minute! After one minute, this Exoskeleton Armor's energy will probably be exhausted. We must stop the train within this one minute!"

"What should we do!"

"I'll give the order when the time comes! Everyone is in a semi-floating state right now. After the train's speed stabilizes at a low point, we'll lower our legs and forcefully brake the train!"

"Understood! We'll leave the timing to you!" Immediately afterward, Himeko entered the team communication, "Did everyone hear that!? Listen to this kid's command when the time comes!"

"Roger!"

"Lieutenant Himeko, are you smitten?"

"If you're smitten, then take action, Lieutenant Himeko!"

"Screw you!"

"Hahahaha!"

Of course, what they didn't know was that with Xu Qi's mental strength, being so close, he could still hear the voices of these people communicating, even with the team communication turned on.

These adults are really...

At this moment, the sound of the air pump releasing air came from the far end, twice in total! Line 9's train is a six-car formation, with only two pantographs! Kosma succeeded!

At this moment, Xu Qi could clearly feel that the train's power had been cut off!

"Now! Trans-am! On!"

The Solar Furnace operated at an unimaginable speed! Under Griseo's mental power coating, the black and white V2V began to flash red light all over!

Himeko couldn't help but narrow her eyes at this scene—she really didn't know where this young man got this Exoskeleton Armor. This kind of technology... shouldn't be something a civilian could possess.

But whatever, Himeko only knew one thing now.

Right beside her, this young man named Xu Qi would become a hero worthy of being remembered by all of Modu—a great hero!

"Stop this train!"

43,Feel the Presence of the Other

"Modu News 30 Minutes Special Report. At 6:30 this morning, Mode Capital Metro Line 9, train 956, was unable to complete braking during operation.

According to on-site reporters, the incident was successfully prevented by employees of the Mode Capital Metro Vehicle Branch at approximately 7:21 a.m. There were no casualties on site."

Inside the tunnel, V2V leaned against the wall, the Exoskeleton Armor already open, and Xu Qi didn't even have the strength to crawl out of the armor.

His whole body was soaked in sweat, and he gasped for breath inside the armor. At this moment, all he could feel was—being alive is good...

"To be able to survive such a thing... truly remarkable, young man."

Within Xu Qi's line of sight, a gorgeous woman with fiery red hair came into view.

The woman had a very enchanting figure. Just one glance made it impossible for Xu Qi to look away from her proud chest. You've got to be kidding me... how could they be so magnificent?

"I also... feel like it's a miracle..."

Himeko was a little emotional. She had thought that the other party's age wouldn't be very high, but she didn't expect—this was just a naive kid who had just graduated from college...

"Where's Xia Ya?"

"Xia Ya? Oh... the person in that red mech, right? He's the mastermind behind this incident? Don't worry, we've already taken him into custody."

Xu Qi's eyes were a little dim, but he still nodded and forced a smile, "Thank you, without you, there would have been no way to stop this train."

"Heh, no need to flatter us, young man. You... are indeed a hero who saved everyone."

Hero... That's not what I want...

Xu Qi used some of the strength he had barely recovered to sit up from within V2V. He looked at 956.

Many passengers, under the rescue of the SWAT police, walked out of the train's escape door one by one. Xu Qi didn't know what those SWAT police told them, but...

When those passengers who stepped onto the tracks saw Xu Qi sitting inside V2V, they completely spontaneously gave a deep bow, and then silently continued to follow the instructions to the safe area.

The silent scene was moving.

Himeko turned to look at Xu Qi, only to find that the young man's smile at this moment was so radiant.

"Their survival is my accomplishment."

Lieutenant Himeko's breath hitched—He's kidding, right...? How am I supposed to go on that blind date tonight? There's no way any man could be more attractive than Xu Qi in this moment, is there?

Inside the tunnel, medical and fire personnel rapidly arrived. Xu Qi easily spotted Su among them.

Wearing a white coat and carrying a stretcher, he was running at the front. It was hard to miss him...

"Doctor, I'm..."

"Don't talk! Someone, help me! Get him out of that armor and onto the stretcher!"

Lieutenant Himeko's eyes lit up at that.

"Leave it to me!"

"Huh? Wait, Lieutenant Himeko, I..."

Before Xu Qi could refuse, the mature woman embraced Xu Qi's body and carried him horizontally in a princess carry.

The woman's rich perfume and her full, soft body completely dispelled any thought of refusal from Xu Qi's mind, and his heart fluttered.

Big sister, come at me!

Of course, this enjoyment was limited. After gently placing Xu Qi on the stretcher, he said, "I... I'm actually fine."

"Okay, okay, I know you're fine, little guy, but let the doctor check you out anyway, just in case."

Her words were like humoring a child's tantrum—Damn, this big sister is unimaginably wonderful.

Su's expression was also a little strange.

This kid... what a human love magnet.

As she left, Lieutenant Himeko gave Xu Qi's abdomen a light pinch.

"Take care, little guy."

On the stretcher, Su checked Xu Qi's body as they moved.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was simply exhausted.

"Uh... Doctor, I should be fine, right?"

"No, there's a problem."

"Huh?"

"Your brain's the problem."

Xu Qi sighed.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I..."

Su shook his head.

"You shouldn't be apologizing to me."

"Is Mei... is she alright?"

"I don't know. I didn't come with her."

Xu Qi's mood became a little heavy. The last thing he wanted was for Mei to worry about him.

Even though he had done something so incredible, Xu Qi still felt a sense of incompleteness. That's right... he hadn't seen Mei. At this moment, the person Xu Qi wanted to see most was probably Mei.

He wanted to share this feeling of relief after surviving a disaster with Mei.

"But there's one thing I have to say—you did well, Xu Qi. You saved the lives of everyone on that train."

Xu Qi slowly grinned.

"Thanks, Doctor."

As Xu Qi was carried out of the tunnel on a stretcher, countless reporters were already waiting outside. Of course... they were destined not to see Xu Qi.

Police officers were responsible for preventing the crowd from approaching, allowing Xu Qi to be smoothly transported to the ambulance.

Honestly, Xu Qi didn't really want to keep lying down, as he felt there was nothing wrong with his body, but since Su insisted on a comprehensive examination at the hospital, he certainly wouldn't object.

Might as well see if there are any young and pretty nurses.

Xu Qi turned his head, and then... his body stiffened on the bed.

Sitting next to Xu Qi, Mei was looking at him with red eyes, the tear tracks on her face clearly not yet dry, looking like she had just finished crying. It made his heart ache.

Her silence at this moment made Xu Qi's heart sink.

To be honest, he would rather Mei scold him right now.

"Mei..."

"Don't talk to me!"

Xu Qi immediately shrank back. Su, on the other hand, watched the fun with a smile in his eyes.

"What's this? Now you're being obedient in front of me? Why didn't you listen to me back then? Xu Qi, you said such nice things, like you wanted to live well for my sake too... Is that how you try to live!?

"It's lucky that someone cooperated in the train car this time. What if! What if you hadn't succeeded!? Do you really think you can..."

"Hiss!"

Xu Qi suddenly grimaced and clutched his stomach.

Mei's expression changed, and she immediately reached out to touch him, asking, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Are you injured?"

Actually, he wasn't... Inside the ambulance were only Mei and Su, and Su wasn't even willing to come forward to check. It was obvious at a glance that this kid was faking it.

"What's going on? Don't just say it hurts, tell me what's wrong!"

Mei's voice was full of anxiety and concern. Xu Qi couldn't bear to tease the girl in front of him any longer. With a burst of strength, he pulled Mei close.

"Ah!"

Su turned around, averting his eyes... averting his eyes...

The girl's graceful body pressed against Xu Qi, making him gasp – was this too comfortable?

Mei also realized what was happening at this moment. She secretly glanced back at Su, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was facing away from them, looking out of the ambulance.

Her face flushed red, she pinched the soft flesh on Xu Qi's waist, and glared at him, saying, "You're so naughty."

Xu Qi grinned, lowered his head, and kissed the girl's warm lips.

Counting this time, it was already the fourth kiss in Mei's life... She didn't resist the feeling. Most importantly... she really desperately wanted to feel Xu Qi's presence.

Just like this, half-pressed against him, her lips intertwined with his...

All of this was telling Mei that her Xu Qi – was still alive.

This feeling, it was really good
