Moving to the Golden Courtyard

"It's nothing, you should know Xu Qi, right? I happen to be free and was planning to go have some fun with him."

"Understood, Boss... does that include attending the Queen of England's ninetieth birthday?"

"Yes, cancel everything."

Although the disdain in her tone was subtle, Anna, as Eden's confidante, could still detect it, as if she were being told – the Queen of England? Who's that?

"Understood, Boss, I'll arrange it immediately."

That evening, after confirming the travel plans, everyone seemed quite excited.

Due to Kevin and the others, the time was set for next week. Mei happened to have a three-day competition this week, so the timing was perfect.

After some playing around, they looked at the time and it was almost 12 o'clock, so they all obediently went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xu Qi yawned and entered his room, but to his surprise, there was someone already there, as if they had been waiting for his arrival...

"Mei... Mei?"

At this moment, Mei, sitting on his bedside, already changed into sleepwear, was scrolling through her phone, not bothering to pay attention to Xu Qi. From her slightly damp hair, it was obvious that... she had just taken a bath.

Which meant she had used Xu Qi's bathroom.

Instantly! Xu Qi's heart felt a surge of heat.

Tsk... so letting me wait and see tonight meant coming to give me a treat?

"Ahem!"

Xu Qi cleared his throat. Seeing Mei still sitting calmly on the bed, he wasn't in a hurry. If Mei was sitting at the head of the bed, then he would sit at the foot.

But as soon as he sat down, before he could even turn around to say anything, he was kicked off.

"Hiss! ~~ What's wrong?"

"Shower."

Mei pointed to the bathroom next to her, rolled her eyes, and said, "You're not taking a shower before getting into bed? How dirty is that?"

But how am I supposed to shower with you here?

Of course, Xu Qi wouldn't ask such a stupid question. He was good at grasping the essence of the problem – after showering, he could get into bed.

"Okay!"

He hurriedly grabbed his change of clothes and rushed into the bathroom.

Seeing this, Mei, lying on Xu Qi's bed, raised an eyebrow, and a playful arc couldn't help but curl up at the corner of her mouth.

Xu Qi usually showered quickly, but today, he made sure to wash carefully.

Haste makes waste, and maybe... ahem! That thing? Could happen today!

Feeling refreshed in his pajamas, Xu Qi walked out of the bathroom and glanced towards the head of the bed – damn it! The heat in his heart was immediately scared away by half.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so shocked?"

Mei, now holding a book, was sitting on the bed, her voice a bit muffled, probably because she had a face mask on.

Without even thinking, he knew that Alysia must have recommended it to her. After all, he had seen Alysia wearing this thing a few days ago, and the color and everything... were similar.

"No, it's nothing, Mei."

Xu Qi adjusted his mentality. Actually, it was only a bit abrupt when he first saw it. He had seen girls wearing face masks many times, so he was able to accept this appearance quite quickly.

Crowdfunding Group ④56127940 The bed was a double bed, and Mei occupied the left side, so Xu Qi naturally and silently moved to the right side and sat down.

"Your skin is already so good, why do you still need these things to maintain it?"

As he spoke, his hands weren't idle either, quietly caressing Mei's shoulders, gently pulling her closer, easily half-hugging his little girlfriend.

"Flattering me won't work. Alysia taught me all this. No matter what, you still have to pay attention to some things. Being naturally beautiful isn't impossible, but postnatal maintenance is equally important... do you understand?"

How could I not understand what you're saying...

But since Mei said it, then it must be reasonable.

"Okay... what's the matter with coming to find me so late?"

Because of the mask, Mei could only look up at Xu Qi with her head slightly raised, and continued to mumble, "Want to know?"

Isn't that obvious...

"I want to know."

"Help me with something."

"Tell me."

Mei suddenly sat up straight and moved her shoulders, saying, "Recently... maybe it's because I've been sitting for too long, I always feel a bit sore in my shoulders.

Alysia said that when you're doing a face mask, you have to make sure you're in a good mood and your body is relaxed, so that your face can relax too, and then the effect will be complete, so..."

"I understand!"

Xu Qi agreed very readily.

To be honest, looking at her from behind like this, you can feel Mei's perfect figure even more.

Xu Qi had to admit that for a moment, he wanted to reach out from behind and feel the fullness of the girl's chest.

Of course, it was just a thought. If he really did that, he'd probably get kicked by Mei.

Xu Qi placed his hands on Mei's shoulders. Both he and Mei practiced martial arts, so they naturally knew a lot about meridians. Having Xu Qi give a shoulder massage...

It's hard to say whether it's a reward for Xu Qi or a reward for Mei.

Anyway, judging from the expression of enjoyment that Mei revealed even through the face mask, you could tell something.

It's just that Xu Qi figured something was wrong—how come the development of things seems different from what he thought?

53. I Just Came to You for a Massage

"Mmm!~~ Yes, yes, right there, massage it a bit more, oh!~~ You're so good."

At this moment, Mei was lying on the bed, the face mask naturally already applied. Her glossy and moisturized face made people want to lean in and take a bite.

And Xu Qi was sweating profusely while giving Mei... a massage.

According to Mei, after applying the face mask, she needed a full-body relaxation, not just limited to the shoulders. Doing so was beneficial to physical and mental health.

Actually, the reason wasn't too important.

Mei wanted him to help her massage, so why refuse?

So it became like this: Mei was lying down, and Xu Qi was kneeling beside Mei, reaching out to rub her back.

"Mei, your waist is pretty good, but here..."

As he said that, he pressed hard with his thumb, causing Mei to gasp - Hiss!~~

After that, it was as refreshing as eating chilled watermelon on a hot summer day.

"See, your waist is too stiff. It's probably because you've been sitting for too long recently. You can't give up kendo, you know? Strengthening your body is also good, otherwise, look..."

As he spoke, Xu Qi pressed near Mei's shoulder blades, close to the center line.

"Hiss! Lighter... lighter! Yes, yes, that's the right strength..."

Accompanied by the pain, there was a slight numbness. Mei couldn't help but fall on the bed, humming and groaning, which made Xu Qi's heart itch.

How could this girl... how could she be so...

"Okay! That's about enough massaging, get up!"

Mei's pretty face flushed red, but she was indeed a little comfortable just now.

She slowly got up, perhaps because she was only wearing pajamas. Xu Qi could see at a glance—hmm... it was rounder again...

Mei turned her head and looked at Xu Qi, unable to help but grin.

"Thank you..."

"You're still being polite with me."

"Indeed."

Slowly turning over, with her legs stretched out of the bed, Mei stretched and stood up.

"It's getting late, you should sleep first, I'm going back."

"Oh, okay..."

"Hmm?"

Finally, Xu Qi felt something was wrong. He suddenly turned his head to look at Mei, tilted his head and said, "Mei, I feel like tonight—I've been serving you the whole time..."

Mei's body paused as she faced away from Xu Qi, and she laughed and said, "Really...? Is that so? It's just your imagination, haha, well... I'm going back to my room first!"

Her pace quickened! But before Mei could run, Xu Qi, who was much faster than her, hugged her back around the waist.

After a burst of laughter, as expected, Mei was successfully subdued on the bed by Xu Qi.

Both of them were panting heavily, it seemed that the previous commotion had consumed a lot of energy.

At this time, Xu Qi was pressing on the other party's fleshy body, and a fake smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Where do you want to run to? Mei?"

Mei's face was flushed red, she pursed her lips, and also showed a smile that couldn't be more fake, saying against her will.

"I... I didn't want to run..."

"Oh~~ I've figured it out, your so-called coming over tonight to give me a good time... is just to make me a free laborer once, and then I can only look but not eat, right?"

"How... how could that be?"

Mei completely looked like she had been seen through, her small eyes darting around, not daring to look at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow and straightened up.

Just when Mei thought that the other party wanted to let her go, she saw Xu Qi put his hands on her waist, and then, a ticklish feeling came, causing Mei to laugh out loud.

"Ah! Xu Qi! Hahaha!... Stop!... Stop it, Xu Qi! Hahaha!"

Her body kept moving, trying to break free, but how was that possible?

"Well, Mei... Ah? You came up with this trick to fool me, huh? See how I'm going to properly discipline you today!"

"Oh, Xu Qi, hahaha! Stop... stop it... haha! I... I know I was wrong, okay?"

With great effort, Xu Qi stopped.

Mei, on the other hand, was flushed and collapsed on Xu Qi's bed, her hands weakly flopping to either side, as if she didn't want to move at all—giving up!

Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh—it was rare to see this side of Mei.

"Just laugh... I really have no strength left."

"No strength left? Will you dare to do it again next time?"

"I won't, I won't, I know I was wrong, okay?"

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Xu Qi knew from the way Mei was acting that she would dare to do it again next time!

For a moment, the room was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

Xu Qi couldn't help but lean down, their faces facing each other, very close... very close... so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

"Xu Qi..."

It was Mei who spoke first.

The little girl's face was flushed, and her gaze towards Xu Qi was slightly dazed.

"What's wrong?"

"We can't do that..."

Xu Qi understood.

But what he didn't expect was that Mei would take the initiative.
