Moving to the Golden Courtyard

"You know, I was injured on duty, all to save an entire subway train."

"Really?"

"Of course, look, this is the Mode Capital Metro's WeChat official account, and Shanghai Releases, they both reported on me. Didn't you see the news?"

"Let me see? ... It really is you?"

"Of course."

"You're amazing. Can I ask what you were thinking at the time?"

"Sure, I was thinking..."

"He was thinking about what to eat for dinner, spacing out on the tracks, and then got hit by the train and paralyzed."

Mei abruptly cut in between Xu Qi and the unfamiliar girl.

One glance at Mei's beauty, even without makeup, was enough to put celebrities to shame. The girl lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat inferior.

Xu Qi, as if he hadn't noticed Mei's arrival, blankly said, "Mei? How did you get here?"

"If I had arrived any later, were you planning to risk your wound bursting open to have a quickie with this girl in some bathroom?"

The blunt and sarcastic tone made the girl blush. She finally realized the relationship between this angelic woman and Xu Qi...

She glared at Xu Qi resentfully, as if blaming him for hitting on her despite having such a beautiful girlfriend. In any case, she quickly left.

Xu Qi shrugged and said, "I was just chatting with her."

"Is that so?" Mei narrowed her eyes. "I just went to take an exam, and you pull this on me?"

"Uh..." Xu Qi seemed at a loss for words.

"Haa..." Seeming used to his promiscuity, Mei straightened Xu Qi's slightly disheveled hospital gown, stepped forward, and supported him, saying, "What you need now is rest. Go back to your room and lie down."

Now everyone in the hospital knew that Xu Qi had such a beautiful girlfriend.

Someone even whistled at Xu Qi.

Halfway through the support, Mei suddenly sensed something was off...

"You're doing this on purpose?"

"Huh?" Xu Qi's expression was as if he had no idea what Mei was talking about. "What's wrong with me? Did I do anything?"

Mei narrowed her eyes again, but for some reason, she didn't press the issue. Instead, like a victorious queen, she carried her spoils back.

"Okay, I have to admit, when they think you're my girlfriend, the way they look at me makes me feel... pretty good."

"It's just vanity at play."

"Maybe it's possessiveness."

Mei suddenly stopped.

Her breathing was noticeably uneven, as if she hadn't expected Xu Qi to say something so bold.

He clearly... he clearly never treated me like this before...

In the past, no matter how much she provoked him, he would play dumb, never taking the initiative to move forward. But now... he seemed to be actively attacking.

Attacking me?

Attacking Raiden Mei!?

The sudden change in attitude made Mei realize Xu Qi's inner thoughts, but...

But when it came down to it, she felt a little retreat, a little hesitation...

"Let's go back to the room first. I really need to lie down and rest."

"Okay."

Back in the ward, after helping Xu Qi lie back in bed, Mei took out the dinner bento she had prepared from the bag.

Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. She knew Xu Qi was a carnivore, the kind who couldn't live without meat.

But compared to usual, Mei felt a little uneasy doing these things today, because Xu Qi's gaze... was always focused on her.

Passionate and full of fervor.

This made Mei blush and turn to Xu Qi, saying, "Why are you always looking at me?"

"You're beautiful."

Mei finally couldn't take it anymore.

She panicked and blurted out, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

Then she ran out of the ward as if fleeing.

Xu Qi sighed—so adorable it makes me want to commit a crime, Mei...

"Aren't you being a little too hasty?"

Su, who had walked in from outside the ward, joked.

"This is part of the plan, Doctor, and these are all things I owe her… I refused her for too long, and now, I'm just making up for it."

"I don't understand you young people's thinking."

Su shook his head and began to palpate Xu Qi's bones.

Lifting the blanket, his hands moved over Xu Qi's body. If it were any other man, Xu Qi would definitely mind, but this was Su—Doctor Su was different, he had a noble heart.

After a while, Su straightened up. Although he still had his usual squinting eyes, it was impossible to see his expression.

But just through his facial expression, Xu Qi could tell—Su was amazed.

"Your body's recovery ability is quite outstanding. I have no intention of hiding it, because you should be able to guess."

"It's Professor's medicines, right?"

"That's right. This time, you can consider it a blessing in disguise. The drugs hidden in your body have been reactivated. Now, your… physical fitness has probably reached a whole new level.

I even suspect that you can still maintain normal brain function and stable bodily functions in a 12G environment."

"That's not even human anymore."

"Do you really think… you can be considered human?"

Xu Qi narrowed his eyes—could it be that the Professor's joking words that day… weren't a joke?

"That's right, you are indeed human."

"Doctor Su, when did you learn to make such inexplicable jokes?"

"Haha." A smile appeared on his face, and Su patted Xu Qi's shoulder. "Isn't it good to joke around occasionally?"

"When can I be discharged?"

"Next week, probably. It's best to observe for a few more days. Don't rush back to work. Take a period of recuperation in the Golden Courtyard. I don't think your company would mind such a thing."

"Indeed… but there are only a few days left…"

Hearing Xu Qi's sigh, Su looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

But Xu Qi smiled mysteriously at Su and said.

"What I mean is, I only have these few days to confirm my relationship with Mei."

Su suddenly understood, and then clapped his hands and laughed.

"Then good luck, Xu Qi—although she has a high level of affection for you, you've also seen… she's not such an easy girl to win over."

"Indeed."

"I'll go first. You rest well. Don't mess around in the short term."

"Of course, Doctor."

Watching Su leave, Xu Qi lay back on the bed—he had to think carefully about what to do next.

Leaving the ward, Su returned to his private office and made a call.

"Hello? Professor."

"How is it, Su?"

Su picked up the cup of tea on the table—it was still warm. He shook it, and his originally squinted eyes slowly opened at this moment.

Those long and bright eyes were filled with shock.

"The effect is unexpected… I'm afraid he can already handle V2V."

"Is that so… that means the limit is 15G."

"No, Professor, you misunderstood me."

"What?"

Su took another sip of tea.

"He can, [completely]handle V2V."

"What!?" On the other end of the phone, the Professor's tone was obviously much heavier. "That's impossible!"

Su looked out the window, his eyes filled with inexplicable emotion.

"Yes… I also hope… that's impossible."

12. Isn't that just Bronya? Watch me get her QQ

"Supervisor Xia, the investigation report for 914 is out. Please take a look."

Li Fucong, whose hand was still wrapped in bandages, handed the USB drive to Xia Ya. A large document came into view, covering the incident and the cause analysis in detail.

Overall, after the vehicle speed reached 60km/h, the aging of the cables, which had not been investigated in the previous rectification, caused the braking signal to fail to transmit.

The aging cable can be locked to the (10238) section of the bus cable.

The reason is simple, but since it is an excellent document, there must be troubleshooting ideas and examples, including subsequent improvement measures.

It truly is an excellent investigation report, good enough to be published directly as a graduate student's thesis.

"The reason is the cable aging issue that wasn't discovered during the previous rectification..." Xia Ya's lips curled into a smile, pausing emphatically on the words "previous" and "wasn't."

Li Fucong acted as if he didn't catch Xia Ya's meaning and said, "That's right, that's the direct cause revealed by the investigation."

"Is that so..." Xia Ya remained noncommittal, glancing at the bandaged left hand of the other man, and said with concern, "To insist on working despite your arm injury, you can be called a role model for today's youth."

Li Fucong's face lit up with joy.

"You flatter me, Supervisor Xia. It's what I should do."

"Hmm... is it difficult to use?"

"It's alright, I can overcome it."

So it's considerably difficult... Xia Ya looked at the excellent investigation report in front of him, supposedly written entirely by Li Fucong himself, and suddenly laughed.

This made Li Fucong somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, you can go back now. I'll have the department leader send your investigation report to the group."

"Yes! Thank you, Supervisor Xia!"

Watching the other man retreat, Xia Ya finally couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery.

"If you had just said that someone else helped you write it, and you were responsible for providing the ideas, I might have believed it a little more. All written by you? Using one-finger typing, huh."

After saying that, he deleted the document directly.

He could tell at a glance that the style of this article belonged to a deputy chief engineer of the group.

To just take it like that without feeling any shame, huh, Li Fucong...

And this cause of the accident—it's so laughable that Xia Ya even felt a little pathetic.
