Moved to Golden Courtyard

……

Coming close to Xu Qi, Alicia stuck out her tongue.

"Look?~~ It's all because of you that I got hit on the head by Aponiya."

"You'd better look for the reason in yourself."

"How could that be?~~Aponia wouldn't be willing to hit a girl as cute as me."

Xu Qi rolled her eyes, but... Ai Li was right—she was indeed very cute.

"Alas... But Qianjie is gone, what should I do for breakfast? Even if you are a beautiful girl, you can't skip breakfast... Don't you think so? Xu Qi?"

Looking at Ai Li's big watery eyes, staring at him pitifully, Xu Qi...

Xu Qi said expressionlessly.

"Order takeout yourself."

"Can't you order one for me?"

"No money."

"Xu Qi!!"

Although he was filled with joy in his heart, Xu Qi couldn't show it on the surface, otherwise Alicia would catch this moment of tenderness and tease him for a week.

Don't ask Xu Qi how he knew.

I collapsed on the sofa and was about to open my phone to see what the idiotic netizens were chatting about...but my phone suddenly rang.

?

Xu Qi was a little confused. Who would call him at this time?

Upon seeing the caller's name - Xu Qi fell silent.

The originally joyful atmosphere became a little bit solemn. Alicia seemed to have noticed something. She stopped joking and walked to Xu Qi with concern.

It only took a quick glance to see the caller's note - Mom.

……

"Won't you answer?"

Xu Qi hesitated for a long time, but finally answered the phone.

"Hello? Mom."

"son."

Two brief greetings followed by a long silence.

Ai Li sat next to Xu Qi. Seeing this, Xu Qi turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Mom...what's wrong?"

"…It's okay, I just want to ask you, are you…doing well now?"

"Well, not bad."

"That's good...that's good..."

"Mom, what happened?"

Xu Qi frowned, and his heartbeat subconsciously quickened, as if something bad was going to happen.

"Xiao Qi, your father...your father..."

The woman's voice was slightly sobbing, and people could hear it clearly even through the phone. Xu Qi's eyes widened, and the panic and fear in his heart were unprecedentedly high.

"Father! What happened to father?!"

"Your father...twisted his foot when he was walking downstairs. The doctor said it was a fracture. Now he can't move much and can only sit in a wheelchair. He needs to rest for a month."

……

After a long sigh, Xu Qi couldn't help but blame.

"That's it? Then why are you crying, Mom? Do you want me to arrange a hospital? I know a doctor who is very professional."

"Is it not enough for me to cry? You left home for more than half a year without a single phone call! And...more than a week ago, that person was you!?"

"..."

"Okay, mom, I get it. I'll go back and take a look today. I'll hang up now. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, for some reason, the call that he had originally thought might be a little hot actually made him feel relieved, and a lot of the pressure seemed to be relieved a lot.

"Aunt?"

"Ah."

Alicia's eyes softened involuntarily, as if she suddenly realized... Xu Qi was just a young man in his twenties.

"You moved here because you had some conflicts with your family, but half a year has passed. Xu Qi... you should really go back and take a look."

"Well, actually... I don't blame them that much. After all, I beat up those two naughty kids and that adult, and I've already let go of the resentment in my heart."

"Pfft! That sounds like something you would do."

"Right?"

"I'll go back with you."

"Ah?" Xu Qi was stunned. Looking at the gentle Ellie in front of him, he was about to refuse, but suddenly found... there seemed to be no reason to refuse.

"You also have to let your aunt know who your son has been living with for the past six months, right, Xu Qi?"

"...Okay, then I'll pack my things and you can go back with me."

At this moment, Fu Hua, who had just come downstairs to have breakfast, heard the entire conversation at the stairs without any surprise.

Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was so big that it seemed like a meat bun could be stuffed in it.

This...Alicia...Xu Qi...are they...meeting the parents! ?

Miss Mei! Your house was robbed!

57. Even if it was Ai Lishia, she would be nervous when meeting her parents.

The car drove all the way to the residential area where Xu Qi used to live. Because he was going home, he didn't dare to choose those luxury cars to drive back. Otherwise, people might think he was kept by a rich woman.

Hmm...it doesn't seem to be that bad though.

Besides, it was really hard to find a car of average quality in the underground garage of the Golden Courtyard. So they had no choice but to drive out Ellie's pink Beetle.

"But don't you think... there's something strange about it?"

"Huh? Why is it strange?"

"Well... do you think I need to buy some more gifts? After all, this is my first time meeting my uncle and aunt. Even if you don't care, it wouldn't be nice to go there empty-handed."

"Then bring some fruit... We're going back to my house, why are you so reserved?"

Alicia blinked at Xu Qi, and seeing that the other party really didn't seem to notice anything, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Because it was Alicia's car, Xu Qi was happy to sit in the passenger seat like a boss, enjoying the treatment of having someone to help drive.

It was drizzling, and Xu Qi asked Ai Li to stay in the car first. He opened an umbrella and took her out of the car.

This made Ellie feel even more weird.

This... This isn't exactly like...

Her pretty face couldn't help but turn slightly red. Ai Li pursed her lips and followed Xu Qi obediently, sharing an umbrella with him.

Although there must be umbrellas in the car, it seems that neither Ai Li nor Xu Qi have any intention of taking them out.

Xu Qi was actually a little surprised. She felt that Ai Li was too well-behaved today. Normally, she would not be so quiet. Not to mention on the way, she must be chattering like a lark.

But... no.

Even when she went out, she spent a long time dressing up. She wore a pure white pleated long skirt and her long pink hair was tied up behind her. Although it was simple, it was just right and eye-catching.

When she went out, she specially picked a pair of half-high heels, which made her look taller and unconsciously showed off her enchanting figure.

So today’s Ai Li… is really beautiful.

"Let's go?"

"Ok!"

"Why do you seem a little nervous?"

Xu Qi was just joking when asking this question, but Ai Li was stunned. She asked seriously, "Do I really look nervous now?"

"Uh... maybe."

"Huh... Don't scare me, Xu Qi. I don't want to leave a bad impression on my uncle and aunt."

No. Is it important?

To be honest, Xu Qi also felt that something was wrong, but... but she was Alicia! Can you imagine? A girl like Alicia could actually have an emotion like love.

And the object is...

Xu Qi was at a loss for words.

She was so pure and beautiful, and Xu Qi didn't want his worldly thoughts to taint her.

When she was almost at the door, Ellie suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"I...I'll take my time."

"what?"

Then Xu Qi saw Alicia standing at the stairs, with her hands on her chest, her eyes closed, and she began to take deep breaths - she was too nervous!

After waiting for about two minutes, she finally adjusted her mood, opened her eyes, and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm ready!"

"Why do I feel like you're going to be executed? Is my home so scary?"

"..."

Xu Qi sighed, he suddenly walked forward and held Ai Li's delicate little hand. Xu Qi, who was a little tall, bent down slightly and looked directly into Ai Li's eyes.

"What's wrong with you? You're so nervous... I thought you were joking at first. This is not like you, Alicia, this is my home, you are me..."

At this point, Xu Qi got stuck.

Ai Li, on the other hand, was brave at this moment. She held Xu Qi's hands, looked him in the eye and said, "What am I to you?"

……

"The most important friend..."

……

The light in Ai Li's eyes dimmed slightly, which made Xu Qi feel distressed.

Damn it! Xu Qi! You really deserve to die!

He wanted to look away, but was afraid that such an action would bring greater harm to Alicia. No one... no one could hurt the girl in front of him!

But what am I doing?

But...what about Mei?

Xu Qi felt as if his heart was being torn apart, the pain was so severe that he could not breathe.

What the hell am I thinking? What the hell am I thinking?

"!"

It was at this moment when Xu Qi was entangled! The sudden soft touch on his body made him stand there in a daze. Alicia... hugged him.

This was an unprecedented close contact.

The two of them were downstairs of Xu Qi's house. It was drizzling outside, and they hugged each other there.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Qi turned around and hugged Ai Li in his arms.

The girl hugged Xu Qi very tightly, so tightly that it seemed as if she wanted to merge Xu Qi into her body.
