Moved to Golden Courtyard

……

"Ellie..."

"Ok?"

Xu Qi sighed, sat up, put a hand on Ai Li's shoulder and said, "You think I won't resist, right?"

Ai Li's face froze - Oh no... She was too proud...

Xu Qi leaned close to the girl's ear and said something through gritted teeth.

"I hope you don't ask for mercy too quickly tonight."

"Wait! Wait a minute Xu Qi, I was wrong, I was wrong, um!... wuwuwu... slow down?~~"

······

Although Xu Qi said this, he was still reluctant to conquer his little Ai Li.

After about three or four times, he carried Ai Li to take a bath.

She couldn't help but act up while bathing. She lay in the bathtub, crying, "Wuwuwu...Xu Qi, you don't pity me at all. You don't love me anymore."

When saying these words, Ai Li was still in Xu Qi's arms.

"Just be normal..."

A little emotion comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Ai Li made a fuss in the bathtub for a while, and suddenly splashed water on Xu Qi's face.

"Ugh!...Are you a child!?"

The prank was successful, and Alicia giggled.

Xu Qi helplessly reached out and rubbed Ai Li's wet pink hair. Mei said that sometimes she just spoiled Ai Li too much... There was no other way, who else could she spoil if not her?

After taking a shower, Aizhongchouqun456127940 Li still seemed very excited and was not lying still on the bed.

As a last resort, Xu Qi could only hug her, hoping to make her calm down.

"Stop it, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Huh?~~ You have to go to work tomorrow, and you still...so many times tonight..."

Xu Qi's face turned red, but then he felt something was wrong.

Normally, Ellie would have been exhausted and wanted to sleep by now, so why is she so energetic today?

"Hehe!~~ You don't know? I've been drinking wolfberries to nourish my body."

It was really unbearable to hear these words coming out of Ellie's mouth.

"Speaking of which, Ellie...there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

This is really strange. Xu Qi wants to discuss something with me? Ai Li was a little confused. What can she do? She is just a small online anchor...

"In a few days...I want to go back home."

"Go home? Oh... you mean go back to see your uncle and aunt."

"Ah."

Ever since Ai Li accompanied him home last time, Xu Qi's relationship with his parents has basically eased.

After only moving out for half a year, he has become more and more accustomed to living outside.

Besides... Golden Courtyard has long become Xu Qi's second home, so he has no plans to move back.

That house is also meant for my parents to use in their old age.

"You want me to accompany you? Hehe? You seem fearless normally, but you need me to accompany you when you go home to visit your parents."

"Hey! Last time... you left a good impression on the two elders. They often urged me to bring you back again, and also said..."

"Still talking?"

"She also said...she wanted to have a grandchild as soon as possible."

……

Ailicia lay in Xu Qi's arms, silent.

It was not until a long time passed that he said something in a soft voice.

"Xu Qi..."

"Ok?"

"Well...if you don't get a marriage certificate...can you marry me once?"

……

Kissing Ai Li on the forehead, Xu Qi said softly: "What are you talking about? My silly girl, isn't this a matter of course? But you have to wait until Mei Yi."

"Ok!"

Ai Li narrowed her eyes and smiled, then kissed Xu Qi.

"Hehe? You are so nice to me, Xu Qi..."

……

"Silly girl, is this good for you? I'm just... making up for what I owe you..."

"It's okay, Xu Qi, I understand." Ai Li curled up in Xu Qi's arms, closed her eyes, and prepared to fall asleep peacefully. Before falling asleep, she couldn't help but curl up a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.

"I am already very happy to be with you..."

403. I just want to find comfort in Eden

The next day at work, I hadn't even sat down in the office when Delta came in and kicked me out.

"Have you finished practicing the OP? You're the only one missing for the first episode. The content has been prepared for you, and you're telling me the song isn't ready yet? Are you kidding me?"

"no?"

Xu Qi was puzzled.

"He can't rush things like this. Besides, the person singing the OP is right next to your office. You can come over to urge him, but what if he's not there?"

"Then I can't rush it."

"What the hell..."

Xu Qi had no idea what to do about the production director's bluntness.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll practice, but don't rush me. The more you rush me, the more anxious I get. The more anxious I get, the worse I'll sing. Do you understand?"

Delta curled his lips in disdain.

"How many times do you think I've heard similar words when I was urging the original painting?"

"..."

"Especially the original artists whose original drawings were sent back for revision by the animation supervisors, they said this the most."

"..." Xu Qi took a sip of water, his eyes wandering, "People's physiques are different. This kind of thing has a lot to do with the state of mind."

“How many times do you think I’ve heard this?”

"..."

Delta stared at Xu Qi with a look of disappointment and said, "You guys, if you don't push yourself, you don't even know your potential!

What else is there to say about painting from the heart, and that fluctuations in one’s mentality will affect one’s work? The amount of work hasn’t even reached the master level, but one’s mentality has already reached it? "

"Um... I know, I know. I'll go practice right away. I'll practice right away, okay?"

Delta seemed to know that his attitude might be a bit too extreme. He calmed down and said a little stiffly: "Sorry, I am also wrong. I shouldn't yell at you...

Anyway, I hope the director can release the first OP as soon as possible, in April next year... No, at the latest in the middle of next month! The publicity port must have the first PV.

I hope that our PV1 can have some exciting original OP songs, so you can use them. Goodbye. "

After saying that, Delta turned around and left the office, and Xu Qi also leaned back in the seat as if relieved. The thoughtful little maid handed over a cup of black tea at this time.

Xu Qi pursed her lips and said, "Rita, why didn't you help me persuade Director Delta just now?"

"But, Rita thinks what Delta said is right. Although the animation industry is a very subjective and idealistic industry, most people can't actually reach that level."

Xu Qi smiled bitterly.

"In fact, even Director Delta himself is like this."

"Hmm?" Xu Qi drank black tea and looked at Rita with some confusion.

As Xu Qi's close secretary, Rita dressed herself up very elegantly for work today. She stood quietly beside him and spoke with her eyes lowered.

"At first, when she was still a student, Delta was not actually engaged in production, but served as an original artist, but later... she gave up."

"why?"

"Because even someone as proud as Delta can be crushed by others in terms of talent and lose his mind at times.

As an original artist, you can only grow if you draw fast enough. If you draw fast, you will be assigned more tasks and draw more. If you draw more, you will grow enough and draw faster. This is a virtuous circle. "

Xu Qi was silent...

On the other hand, if you draw slowly, draw less, and grow slowly, you will receive even fewer orders, and thus be completely expelled from this circle because you have no talent.

This is a vicious cycle.

“But if we draw quickly, how can we ensure the quality?”

Rita stopped talking, and Xu Qi understood instantly.

He opened his mouth dryly. Never before had he felt the cruelty of the original painting industry more than now.

Those who can't even guarantee the quality will naturally be eliminated...

No industry will pity a guy without talent.

If you can't meet the standards, get out.

“In fact, this is true in every industry. Only those who are good enough can get more resources and become even better… and those who are not good enough will naturally have to find another way out.

This excellence can refer to many things, such as talent, background, or even luck, your eloquence, or your flattery..."

After Rita finished speaking, she looked at Xu Qi and said with a smile.

"Director Delta has been rude to you, Bronya, and many talented people. It's not because of jealousy, but because I feel sorry for you.

Obviously you have enviable talents, why don't you work hard? Why do you give up on yourself? So, you will feel a little disappointed..."

"Stop it, Rita..."

Xu Qi sat in his seat dejectedly, feeling that Rita's words just now were like sharp thorns piercing his heart, making him feel uneasy.

"I understand. I will go practice now. Actually, I already had some feeling yesterday. I feel that I will be able to make a breakthrough today."

"Then Rita, congratulations to the master in advance."

"Also...can I be considered talented?"

Rita spread her hands, pointed to the office, then pointed to Xu Qi's age, and finally said, "At least I have never heard of anyone who can practice to the point where people can stop and listen to the song in just a week or so."

Xu Qi blushed.

"You knew everything yesterday..."

"Master, the last thing you should doubt is whether you can do this kind of thing. After all, do you think Miss Eden is the kind of person who would be patient enough to teach a fool?"

"no!"

Xu Qi was very sure of this, because Ai Li also wanted to learn singing, but Eden only taught her for one day before giving up. The reason given was... "Too stupid to learn."

I remember that Ai Li was very angry about this matter for a long time.

“So, the supervisor is gifted.”

Inspired by Rita's words, Xu Qi instantly felt full of confidence!

"Got it, Rita! I'm going to go practice now then."
