Moved to Golden Courtyard

Sniffing the delicate floral scent surrounding the other person's long hair, Xu Qi couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.

"It's okay, Xu Qi, it's okay..."

Ai Lishiya hugged Xu Qi tenderly, her eyes full of love.

Alicia likes everyone and loves everyone, but for Xu Qi... this kind of liking and love seems to be more...heavy.

"You're obviously the one who's so nervous, why are you comforting me?"

“Because I feel it.”

"Feel something?"

"I can feel the struggle in your heart. As long as I have this, I will be satisfied."

At least it proves... that I do occupy a certain place in your heart.

Xu Qi patted the other person on the back, signaling that Alicia could let go.

"Ellie."

"Ok?"

"Will you believe me?"

"Of course I am willing to believe you?~~"

"why?"

"You are Xu Qi, I am Ai Li, Ai Li Xia will always believe in Xu Qi, it's that simple?~~"

……

This girl seemed to be God's most perfect creation. Sometimes Xu Qi would wonder if there was a God in this world, then God would undoubtedly favor Xu Qi.

Because God let him meet Mei, let him meet Airi, and let him meet everyone in the Golden Garden.

Such a lucky thing happened to him, what right did he have to complain about the world?

I am already surrounded by love.

"I will find a way to accomplish what Sakura mentioned."

"Huh?" Alicia blinked in confusion. After all...what does this have to do with Sakura?

Of course, this is a secret that cannot be shared with Ai Li or Mei.

"Let's go and meet my parents first."

Alicia's originally normal complexion immediately turned rosy again after hearing Xu Qi's words.

"You...you've realized it..."

Xu Qi smiled suddenly.

"I'm not made of wood, I just...it's just hard to believe."

"Hmm? Believe in what?"

"nothing."

"Don't learn the riddle man from Su! You play tricks every day."

"Riddler, get out of Gotham!"

"Why are you the one complaining? You're just screaming to catch a ghost, right?"

58. Alicia: He bullied me!

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, Xu Qi still rang the doorbell of his home with Ai Li.

Six months……

When I was a child, it might have been difficult to imagine that I would leave home and not come back for half a year.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m homesick, but Xu Qi himself actually felt a little nervous. Looking at the extremely familiar door in front of him, he took a deep breath.

Now think about it, just half a year ago, because the neighborhood kids smashed his figurines, Xu Qi chose to move out when no one could understand.

He certainly wouldn't regret it. Rather... if he hadn't chosen to go to the Golden Courtyard, that would be something to regret.

However, Xu Qi was not actually angry when he ran away from home.

He just felt that... maybe he really wasn't suitable to live with his parents anymore.

But speaking of which, after not going home for half a year, when I went home, I brought a female friend with me? Well, if it wasn't my girlfriend, it would be really hard to explain to my parents.

If Mei hadn't gone to participate in mathematical modeling, Ai Li would definitely not have asked to come along, so in the end it would definitely be Mei who came along.

That's fair enough, but now...

I always feel that something is a little weird. I hope my parents can accept this setting by then - a confidante? Yes! That's right, a confidante!

······

"So... you and Xu Qi are living together?"

"Yeah! That's right uncle, I go to his room every night to play games."

Cohabitation means living under the same roof, which sounds right, but it is not right!

At Xu Qi's house, on the sofa, Xu Qi's father Xu Youde couldn't help but glare at his son who could only smile apologetically while sitting next to him, and then hurriedly asked Alicia.

"Oh, my girl...you've suffered...Xiao Qi, didn't bully you?"

Ai Li was stunned, and Xu Qi's heart also tightened, and he hurriedly made a gesture to Ai Li secretly.

But unfortunately, Ellie didn't see any of this, and she answered subconsciously.

"Of course! He bullies me every day!"

"Bang!" Xu Qi slapped his forehead and pulled down with one hand to cover his face - he was really fucked.

"Xiao Qi, this is where you're wrong."

Xu Qi's mother, Lin Lai, placed some fruits on the coffee table, then sat down next to Alicia with a smile on her face. The satisfaction in her eyes was completely undisguised.

Xu Qi knew that he couldn't explain it clearly...

Although he should have thought of it earlier, and although the current situation was actually intentional... he still felt something was wrong...

"Hey? By the way, Ai Li, when did you and Xiao Qi get together?"

"Ah?" Alicia's face couldn't help but turn red, and she waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no, Xu Qi and I... Xu Qi and I are not yet."

After saying this, the way Xu Qi's parents looked at Xu Qi changed again.

Xu Qi felt that if his father's feet had not been fixed with spiked shoes at this time, he would have been kicked.

He has already thought of the reason - such a good girl is willing to go home with you, don't just think about having fun and let her down!

What kind of charm is this...

Xu Qi thought it would be better to change the subject as soon as possible, so he asked.

　Crowdfunding Group ④五⑥一②七⑨四零 "Dad, your leg, is everything alright?"

"It's okay. The doctor said that you just need to rest for a month. I didn't intend to let your mother tell you about this. She made the call herself."

"Okay, okay, I want to do this myself."

The mother's words were somewhat helpless.

But in fact, Xu Qi also understood that his father hoped that he could come back, but... it was still somewhat embarrassing for an old man to take the initiative to admit such a thing.

"Xiao Qi, can you stay for two more days when you go home this time?"

Xu Qi opened his mouth, and Xu Youde saw his son's embarrassment and immediately waved his hand and said, "Why are you staying here? You are the only one who talks too much every day."

"..."

Seeing this, Ai Li hurriedly explained: "Well! Uncle and aunt, actually...actually, it's because we have already arranged to go on a trip next week, so...so it's not very convenient."

Travel? —Honeymoon!

The old couple smiled immediately, and Xu Qi could only twitch his lips.

This is really hard to explain. The key point is - Alicia didn't lie, did she? She was right, but she concealed some key information.

In any case, it seems that what happened half a year ago has long been in the past.

No matter Xu Qi or his parents, no one has mentioned this matter on their own initiative. It's as if... many things have been let go.

The family had a happy lunch together, and Xu Youde called Xu Qi to his room.

"dad."

"That person on TV a week ago, was that you?"

"……Yes"

What followed was a long silence.

"In the past... we pushed you too hard. In the past six months, your mother and I have thought a lot. The child is grown up now... you can choose how to go and what path to take. We... will not interfere."

Xu Youde, who said this, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, but... his mental state had improved visibly.

Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh.

"Even if you try to interfere, I will resist."

"You little brat...are you still in your rebellious phase? Right?"

The father and son looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"Go ahead and do what you want to do. I won't keep you here. I just want to tell you that you will always have a home here. If you have time... remember to come back and see your mother."

"Yes, Dad."

"Yeah. And... this Alicia, is she... a foreigner?"

Xu Qi was stunned. To be honest, he seemed to have not thought about this issue carefully.

"Anyway, the girl is pretty good. Your dad is also an experienced person and I can see that she likes you. You can't let her down."

Xu Qi was silent for a while. It turned out that even his father could see through this relationship...

"You and the girl can stay here at night. Your mother always cleans the room."

"Hmm... Hmm? Uh, no, this..."

"Why, is there any inconvenience? We don't have that many empty rooms in our house, how about you sleep in the living room?"

Xu Qi thought...Xu Qi thought that it would be better for them to live together.

······

At night, inside Xu Qi's room.

"Hey? Hey!? Tonight... tonight... are we going to stay here?"

Sitting on Xu Qi's bed, Ai Li's face was flushed with shame and full of surprise.

"How about...I take you back?"

"Then will you come back again?"

"need."

"Then I won't go back."

"?"

Alicia pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said in a puzzled tone: "How about...you sleep in the living room?"

"You really don't consider yourself an outsider."

"What's the matter? You didn't confess to me!"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the room became silent again. Ai Li lowered her head, realizing that she seemed to have said something wrong.

Xu Qi felt a little uneasy. After thinking for a while, he decided to stand up and said, "I'd better sleep on the sofa."

However, as soon as he stood up, he felt as if someone had tugged lightly at the corner of his clothes.

Ai Li lowered her head and sat on the bed. She hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to say, "We have two quilts anyway, so we can just... make do with each other for one night."
