Moving to the Golden Courtyard

Wrapping her arms around Xu Qi's neck, Mei hugged him back, initiating a kiss while also feeling a mix of emotions and fantasies.

It was like... something from her dreams had materialized into reality, leaving Mei feeling a bit surreal.

For them, it would undoubtedly be a rather long night...

"Huh? Where's my stuff?"

"Oh, my dear girl... be careful."

"Shut up with your dirty talk... Huh? It feels a bit stronger than yesterday."

"You can even feel that?"

"I wield a sword every day, my sense of that is very precise. Hmph! Tell me! Was it Elysia's actions at the dinner table today that got you excited!"

"Sss! ~~Say what you want, but let's be serious, don't squeeze so hard."

"Then tell me! Do you have thoughts about Elysia?"

"Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that."

"Still not talking... Mmm! ...Huff... Xu Qi! You cheat!"

"Not talking about it, not talking about it."

"You! ...Mmm!"

It seemed that for Mei and Xu Qi, this night was not only long, but also full of... interludes.

But regardless, with leverage in hand, Mei's revenge on Xu Qi... should be able to continue... probably.

54,Theresa, Where is Your Freedom?

"Folding bed, air conditioning blanket, change of clothes... oh, and mosquito repellent."

"Okay, okay!... You're acting like my mom."

At the entrance of the Huazheng campus, Xu Qi handed Mei a suitcase and a long bag. As mentioned before, Mei had a competition to participate in, lasting three days, all at the school.

"I participated in this kind of thing when I was in college, mathematical modeling. No matter what, you must pay attention to rest, otherwise you will become quite impetuous later, and it will be easy to quarrel with your teammates.

Setting up a team of three people is not without reason, quarreling won't solve anything. Huh? I haven't asked yet, who are your other two teammates? Who are they?"

"Okay, I know! And why do you care about them... Oh ~~ they're all girls!"

Glaring at Xu Qi playfully, Mei felt like she had gained another mother. But... she quite enjoyed it, especially when she was still at home, seeing Xu Qi preparing her belongings so earnestly...

The sweetness in her heart was about to overflow.

Finally, giving Xu Qi a light kiss on the cheek, Mei waved her hand and said, "I'm leaving, you go back quickly."

"It's okay, I'll watch you go in here."

Knowing that she couldn't stop Xu Qi, Mei could only give him another hug, and then, with a bit of reluctance, turned and walked into the school.

Just the night before, she had a breakthrough with her boyfriend, and the young couple, who were in the throes of love, had to be separated for three or four days...

Mei had really thought about simply giving up on this competition?

If it were an individual project, she might have really given up, but this was a team competition...

Mei was a very responsible person, and she would never let her teammates down. Xu Qi understood this, just like Mei supported his job change, this time...

Xu Qi also unconditionally supported her.

Of course, one problem that had to be faced was... if he had certain desires these few days... Xu Qi, who no longer wanted to rely on his right hand, could only endure it a little.

Driving all the way back to Golden Courtyard.

It had to be said that perhaps because they were about to travel, everyone had been a little excited these past few days.

Although the location had not yet been decided, there was no rush.

As soon as he got home, he could hear Elysia chatting with Mobius in the living room about where to travel.

"The sea! We must see the sea!"

"Don't we have a sea here? Why haven't I seen you clamoring to see it every day?"

"Hmm? No, no! Can Modu's sea even be considered a sea? No way, we have to see the real thing."

"I've really heard for the first time that there's a real and fake way to see the sea."

Listening to their conversation, Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh—this Elysia, her head was full of strange ideas, he didn't know where they came from.

Returning to his room, Xu Qi subconsciously opened QQ in his free time.

As the saying goes, chatting with people is the most convenient way to pass the time in this world, especially the meaningless kind of conversation, which is more comfortable than watching videos.

This is also why so many people like to flood groups.

Xu Qi... was no exception.

He had an Alahato group chat, which was full of old Alahato fans, so the things they talked about... most of the time, were no longer limited to Alahato.

Xu Qi had been in this group chat for more than two years, and had met many netizens.

But there was one... who was quite special.

"Hey, I saw on the news recently, did your Mode Capital Metro have some kind of problem?"

This was a private message, the sender's ID was—Theresa.

A pretty common ID, since the protagonist in Z Alahato is Theresa, Theresa Apocalypse.

As Otto's granddaughter, she, along with Otto and Karen, rebelled against the tyranny of the Federation.

But sadly, it wasn't a happy ending. At the end of the story, Theresa piloted Zeta Alahato, crashed into the final boss, and went insane herself, turning into a lunatic.

In the Otto's Counterattack movie, the reason Otto wanted to destroy the Earth and break with Karen was inextricably linked to this event.

Sparkling Qiqi: Yeah, you just finding out?

Theresa: Get lost.

Theresa: I even asked you about it the other day! You said you didn't know either.

Sparkling Qiqi: Oh yeah? What's up?

Theresa: What's up?

As she said that, Theresa found the news report interviewing the hero who dared to park the train and sent it to Xu Qi.

Theresa: Isn't that you!? It even says your name at the bottom—Xu Qi. Do you think I'm blind?

Sparkling Qiqi: Uh… aren't you supposed to not watch the news?

The other side didn't reply for a long time.

Until Xu Qi was about to turn on his computer and play some games, thinking that today's chat was over.

Theresa: Who! ...Who said I don't watch the news!? I watch it too, okay...

Because the TV reported on a unit where someone she knew worked, she paid special attention to it, and after seeing her friend, she became even more concerned and carefully investigated the relevant information.

But because she couldn't save face, she didn't want to admit it, so it took her so long to send a useless sentence.

Xu Qi, who instantly figured out Theresa's entire thought process, sighed deeply—Theresa, you're unfairly cute.

"Okay, it was me."

"Are you crazy!? You actually thought of using Exoskeleton Armor to park a train!? You! ...Your brain is really waterlogged!"

This wasn't the first time he'd been told this... It was happening again after so many days, and Xu Qi actually found it quite refreshing? Maybe it was because it was Theresa.

In Z Alahato, Theresa has a cute and petite loli figure, but he doesn't know what the netizen looks like.

But the other party has always emphasized that she is male, and Xu Qi also thinks that's probably right, after all, these days, how can a netizen actually be female? You must be joking...

You'd rather believe you can chat with a female netizen than believe I'm Qin Shi Huang, right?

"It's okay, I survived, didn't I?"

"You say that so lightly... Let's not talk about this, are you still writing recently?"

"Writing what?"

"Alahato fan fiction."

"I'm not writing it anymore."

"? You dead eunuch! You're not writing it again, are you?"

"No, no, Theresa, you've really misunderstood me this time."

"There's nothing to misunderstand between us!"

"I've officially joined E.T. Studio."

After a long silence, Theresa on the other side finally blurted out a sentence.

"Xu Qi."

"Yeah?"

"Why don't we go see a brain doctor? I know some good neurosurgeons in Guangzhou, you should fly over here quickly, and I'll take you to see them."

"..."

Sparkling Qiqi: Get lost.

Theresa: ?

Theresa: I'm so nice to you and you tell me to get lost?

Sparkling Qiqi: I'm going to prepare to sign the contract in a month, believe it or not.

Theresa: ?

Theresa: Are you serious?

Theresa: Wait... wait wait! Could it be... could it be that one! The SEED you wrote!

Sparkling Qiqi: That's right~~ But I didn't give them the original manuscript, I just explained the concept, and their executive director was moved, isn't your brother Xu amazing?

Theresa: Get lost! Hmph! Isn't that my idea?

Sparkling Qiqi: Yes~~ Theresa is the best, so when are you going to give me the free mecha design drawings? Griseo isn't good at creating from scratch, you have to give her a sample first.

Theresa: Alright, alright, quit nagging. I'll get it done for you. Log in first, let's play.

55,Alysia's Feelings, Why Are You Oblivious?

The harsh, scorching morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing Xu Qi in its light.

Groggy, he opened his eyes and realized he was on the floor again.

This felt strangely familiar...

Memories flooded back, helping Xu Qi recall the events of the previous night. Hmm... it seemed he'd passed out while playing games with Theresa.

Tsk... that's just too much.

And why do I always fall asleep while gaming and end up on the floor?

He picked up his phone and saw several unread messages.

Theresa: Xu Qi? Where are you?

Theresa: You fell asleep again, didn't you...

2:35

Theresa: I'm going to sleep. You idiot. Pay attention next time. If you can't stay up, don't.

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow. Although her words could be a bit harsh, he could clearly sense the concern between the lines. She was quite the tsundere.

If this kind of personality were on a man, it would seem a little terrible.
