Moving to the Golden Courtyard

Even though they were just online friends, Xu Qi felt that after knowing each other for a year, they could be considered friends. He needed to think about how to persuade her to change her awkward personality.

Otherwise, how would she ever find a girlfriend?

Sparkling Qiqi: Just woke up, next time if I can't hold on, I'll just sleep on you.

If I could really sleep on Theresa, that would be great. Soft and fragrant, definitely perfect as a cushion.

After taking a cold shower early in the morning, Xu Qi came out of his room and saw Alysia sleeping on the table in the living room, drooling. There was a laptop next to her.

What's going on? Did she get carried away playing games last night like me?

Xu Qi went closer to take a look—tmd! The livestream wasn't even off!

He checked the comments.

"Where's the streamer? Still sleeping?"

"Sleep stream, huh? No avatar, let's see her sleeping face."

"Wait, did I just hear snoring?"

"Hehe~~ Falling asleep to Pink Elf Lady's voice, and waking up now, my review is that I slept very well."

By the way, Elysia's online name for her VTB livestream was also—Pink Elf Lady.

Xu Qi sighed.

He didn't rush to turn off the livestream. Instead, he found a jacket and put it on her. After thinking for a moment, he poured a glass of water and prepared a pack of tissues next to her.

Suddenly, there was movement upstairs. Xu Qi looked up—it was Fu Hua, getting ready for her morning exercise.

She first saw Alysia sleeping on the table, and then saw Xu Qi busying around.

Her careful demeanor made Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

As a boyfriend, Xu Qi was really excellent—so why wasn't he with Elysia? Everyone in the Golden Courtyard felt that way...

Of course, it wasn't that Mei was bad, but when they chatted privately, they always talked about ambiguous topics related to these two.

Over time, even though they weren't together, everyone in the Golden Courtyard always felt that Elysia would end up with Xu Qi—for no reason.

Xu Qi's attitude towards Alysia was obviously special, and Alysia was the same.

But these two were just too awkward...

"Morning, Fu Hua."

"Morning, Xu Qi... Going for a morning exercise?"

"Yeah, let's go together."

As they got closer, Fu Hua lowered her voice and said, "Alysia, she..."

"I don't know, maybe she had some livestreaming task last night... Let her sleep a little longer, let's not disturb her."

He's so considerate, Xu Qi.

She didn't know how long it had been, but when Elysia groggily opened her eyes, she didn't feel the harsh glare she expected.

Squinting, she realized that the living room curtains had been drawn.

Did I draw the curtains last night?

Alysia was a little confused; she couldn't remember.

The clothes draped over her slipped off as she slowly sat up. Alysia was startled. Someone had obviously covered her with them, since they weren't even her clothes.

Who could it be? Did Pardofelis get up in the middle of the night to help?

A little thirsty...

She saw a cup in her field of vision.

As if seeing an oasis in the desert, Alysia quickly picked it up and poured it into her mouth, not caring about ladylike manners at this point. She was really thirsty...

"Ah..."

Letting out a satisfied sigh, Alysia subconsciously reached for a few tissues to wipe her mouth.

She drank too fast, and the water had spilled.

By this time, Alysia, who was gradually waking up, was startled again—Who poured the water? And... there shouldn't be tissues on the living room table, who brought them?

Then she looked down at the fallen jacket.

Xu Qi...

Elysia glanced at the computer and saw that the livestream had been turned off. If she remembered correctly, it seemed like last night was a chat with fans, and she was chatting and chatting...

She fell asleep.

Only Xu Qi would be so thoughtful...

For some reason, a touch of sadness and inexplicable sorrow welled up in her heart.

This negative human emotion was the first time Alysia had experienced it so clearly.

Memories flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

Me welcoming him to the Golden Courtyard.

Playing games with him until we fell asleep at night.

Sharing our innermost thoughts with each other.

Of course, there were also some inexplicable arguments.

Most of the time, Xu Qi would take the initiative to coax me. Actually, Alysia had already forgiven him every time he came to coax her.

But seeing Xu Qi's clumsy appearance, she inexplicably felt warmth in her heart.

Accompanying him to Vil-V's magic show, and even stealing Pardofelis's cat costume together.

Everyone in the Golden Courtyard is just too serious... but Xu Qi is different...

With him around, every day seemed to be filled with laughter.

Memories flowed by, little by little, and finally—they froze on the moment he brought Mei to the Golden Courtyard.

Elysia reached out to protect her heart, so sad... It felt like... a piece of her heart was missing, and that sense of regret kept stimulating her.

Xu Qi...

"Click!"

The sound of the door turning brought Alysia back to her senses.

She looked up at the entrance and saw Xu Qi walking in, shirtless and covered in sweat. Fu Hua, wearing only a sports bra, followed behind him.

"Hmm? Alysia? You're awake already?"

"Uh... yeah." For some reason, Alysia turned her head away, seemingly not daring to look at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi didn't pay attention. Of course, he didn't know how terrifying the impact of his well-built upper body was on a woman at this moment.

Fu Hua, panting, went upstairs.

"Xu Qi, I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay."

Xu Qi grabbed a towel, wrapped it around himself, and slumped onto the sofa, equally out of breath.

"Ah... the weather's getting hotter, it's still comfortable in the air-conditioned room..."

Alysia was stunned, then suddenly grabbed a coat, trotted over to Xu Qi, and draped it over him while he stared in surprise.

"Seriously! How can you go back and forth between hot and cold like that? You'll catch a cold!"

"Alysia..."

With her cheeks still flushed, Elysia moved closer to Xu Qi. They were so close that Xu Qi could smell a faint floral fragrance—which couldn't possibly be Alysia's...

"Go take a shower!"

56. Miss Mei! Your house has been robbed!

Alysia pushed him into the bathroom, even getting his clothes ready for him, and he could still hear Elysia saying something outside the bathroom door...

"You're getting carried away just because Mei isn't here, aren't you? I promised Mei that I would take good care of you for these three days she's gone. I can't let her come back and see a sick Xu Qi."

Yae, who was coming downstairs to go to work, happened to hear this, which made her expression a little strange.

You promised Mei... to take care of Xu Qi?

It would be a miracle if Mei agreed to let you do something like that. She clearly asked Aponia... Letting you take care of him? You want to take care of him all the way to the bed, don't you?

Of course, Yae wouldn't care about such things, or rather...

Well, wouldn't that be nice?

It's just that it might be a little bad for Miss Mei.

After taking a shower and feeling refreshed, Xu Qi could see Alysia playing with Griseo in the living room, and Sister Nya standing beside them with a loving look on her face.

"Hmm? Brother Xu Qi!"

Griseo, still holding a paintbrush, ran over to Xu Qi and threw herself into his arms.

"What's wrong? Griseo? What happened?"

"Sister Alysia said that Brother Xu Qi was blowing the air conditioner with his shirt off again and wanted me to teach you a lesson."

Xu Qi was in a great mood, and he tried to suppress his laughter as he said, "Then how is Griseo planning to teach me a lesson?"

"Hmm... I'm going to cut off your limbs!"

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"Kalpas! What have you been teaching Little Griseo!"

Kalpas, who was still researching recipes in the kitchen, shrank his neck. Logically speaking, if anyone else spoke to Kalpas in that tone, he would let them experience what despair and fear were all about.

But Xu Qi was different, and since it concerned Griseo, that also meant...

"Kalpas, you should take this as a warning."

"It's so noisy! I'll be careful next time, okay!"

Griseo blinked her eyes, put on a stern face, and said to Xu Qi, "It's so noisy, Brother Xu Qi. Be careful next time."

"I'm going upstairs to do research. You guys hurry up and try to change this kid's personality."

Watching Kalpas go upstairs, Xu Qi supported his forehead and sighed helplessly. That's the only bad thing about Little Griseo. She's like a blank sheet of paper. No matter who she spends time with, she'll turn into their shape, oh no... their image.

"Okay, okay?~~ Kalpas didn't mean to, right?~~"

Elysia squatted down in front of Griseo, rubbing the little girl's head with a smile.

"You agree, right, Griseo?"

"Scram."

"Xu Qi! You stay away from Griseo too!"

Although a little surprised, Xu Qi found it quite amusing to see Elysia so exasperated. He couldn't help but laugh and patted Griseo on the shoulder.

"Hahahaha! Well said, Griseo."

Aponia, who had been watching from the side, finally couldn't help but sigh. She stepped forward, took Little Griseo's hand, and gently tapped Elysia and Xu Qi on the head.

"Let's go, Griseo. It's time for class."

"Okay, Mommy Aponia."
