We moved to Golden Courtyard

Who is it? Xu Qi didn't want to know.

He only noticed Rita's eyes turning red when he saw her rise against his chest, her body seemingly controlled by a demon of impulse, causing Xu Qi to embrace her without hesitation, and...

She stole his kiss.

When their lips touched, Xu Qi immediately knew one thing—this was Rita's first kiss.

Xu Qi has experienced this awkward feeling many times before.

Now he's really a scumbag...

Rita seemed stunned, so much so that she was held and kissed by Xu Qi for a while before she remembered to resist.

But it wasn't violent; her slender arms pushed against Xu Qi's chest, not as if she wanted to escape, but rather as if she was trying to resist.

But perhaps it's because my physique is too strong; why do I feel like I'm committing a crime?

Xu Qi doesn't care anymore...

He was blinded by rage.

You like someone else...you like someone else!? Then why...why are you provoking me like this! Why are you giving me this subconscious illusion!

Fueled by rage, Xu Qi pried open Rita's lips, forced open her teeth, and seized her hidden tongue.

Now… I’m kissing you in the crowdfunding group 456127940. Your first kiss was mine… Miss Rita…

Gradually, the pushing and shoving stopped... Rita seemed to be immersed in Xu Qi's kisses.

She closed her eyes tightly, as if that would allow her to escape the fact that her first kiss had been taken by Xu Qi.

Their kiss grew more passionate, and Rita's hand unconsciously landed on Xu Qi's shoulder...

What a fiery body this is!

Xu Qi reached out and tore open Rita's bathrobe, but his movements were anything but gentle; in fact, they were quite rough.

This made Rita tremble, and she began to struggle to escape again, but Xu Qi held her tightly and kissed her deeply...

He softened his grip and began to tease her gently, and soon... Rita seemed to be completely captivated.

She hooked her arms around Xu Qi's neck, seemingly giving up completely...

She let Xu Qi kiss her.

After a long while, their lips parted...

They were both panting heavily, their eyes meeting. Xu Qi had one arm around Rita's slender waist.

"Snapped!"

A crisp and loud slap landed on Xu Qi's face.

Rita stared at Xu Qi expressionlessly and said, word by word, "Sleep with me now, or I'll hate you for the rest of my life."

……

Xu Qi shoved Rita away! His pupils trembled as he glanced at her, then at himself. His expression was complex, but mostly filled with guilt.

"Sorry……"

……

Rita closed her eyes slightly and remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"roll……"

Xu Qi got out of bed, put on his still-damp clothes, and prepared to leave as if fleeing. However, before he could even leave the house, he heard Rita speak again.

"return!"

……

Xu Qi pursed her lips and moved closer to Rita like a snail.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes, seemingly preparing to be slapped again.

However... the expected pain did not come.

He slightly opened his eyes and saw Rita with a rosy complexion, her gaze fixed on him. She waited until Xu Qi opened his eyes before speaking.

"I like a woman."

"!"

Xu Qi held his breath!

He stared at Rita with wide eyes, seemingly incredulous at what he was hearing.

"Are you satisfied now? Your rival in love is a woman! Still angry? Hmm?"

Xu Qi subconsciously shook his head, then quickly explained, "No!...No...No, I...I'm not angry."

Rita was almost amused by Xu Qi's expression.

"Then get out of here!?"

"Good! Good!"

Xu Qi could easily understand what Rita meant when she stopped him and explained, "I like women."

He suppressed his overwhelming joy, and just as he was about to leave, he turned back and cautiously looked at Rita.

"I was wrong just now, I acted impulsively. I'll accept whatever punishment you want..."

Rita turned her head away, seemingly not wanting to see Xu Qi anymore.

"Then...then I'll leave?"

Rita waved her hand dismissively.

See you at work on Monday?

"if not?"

"Are you still going to talk to me? Please don't give me the silent treatment, I... I can't take it anymore... I know I'm an idiot! I..."

Rita was genuinely amused by Xu Qi's antics, and she turned to glare at him.

"Can I even talk to you anymore? This is still a cold war... Do you think I'm a child?"

Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, gave an awkward smile, and retreated to the doorway.

"I'll go pay the money and wait for you downstairs. I'll take you home later; it's too late now, and you didn't drive, so I'm worried about you."

Rita gave Xu Qi a cold look.

"boom!"

This time, they really left as if they were running away.

Rita looked away, curled up her legs and hugged them, but suddenly burst out laughing.

Recalling Xu Qi's wildness just now, she couldn't help but blush.

Rita said angrily, "Idiot! ...You can't even take your time. You should at least let me finish what I'm saying..."

······

The car drove into Rita's residential area. The entire journey was silent; Ms. Rita sat quietly in the passenger seat. Once the car was parked, she simply reached out and opened the door…

After tugging twice, Rita turned to look at Xu Qi.

"Open the door."

Xu Qi remained unmoved.

"What... are you trying to say that now that things have come to this, you want me to be your mistress?"

Xu Qi was taken aback, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, I..."

"Like Alicia, you don't care how many girlfriends you have, you just want to be with you, right? What's your reason? Why would I do that? What's your reason? Why would you do that?"

Xu Qi was speechless.

"Let's not talk about me for now, Xu Qi. Do you really know what you want? Or is it just possessiveness? Just because you were attracted to my body, you forcibly kissed me after hearing that I have someone I like?"

"If I hadn't slapped you, what were you planning to do? Force yourself on me?"

Xu Qi was speechless...

"If you're only after my body... fine! We'll go to a hotel tomorrow, and you can have me anytime you want when you're tired of me..."

"No! No, Rita...no..."

Xu Qi looked pained. He didn't know what was wrong with him today. How could he be so impulsive and so pathetic? It was as if he had been spoiled by everyone in the Golden Courtyard.

Rita frowned slightly. Looking at Xu Qi like this, she found herself... also feeling a pang of heartache.

But that's precisely why some things need to be made clear.

“Since that’s not the case, then you need to be even clearer about what you want, Xu Qi… You’re not a child anymore. If you just fall in love with every girl you meet, it will eventually just become a game! What do you love about her?”

I hope you don't become a real scumbag; I don't want to see you like that!

226. Durandal wants to investigate!

At night, the apartment door was opened, and the sound made Durandal, who was still slumped on the sofa watching the game, unable to resist peeking out and asking.

"came back?"

Rita hummed a song softly as she slowly walked towards the kitchen.

"Yes, I'm back, Lady Durandal."

Durandal was a little puzzled. Why did Rita seem to be in a good mood today?

"Rita."

"What's wrong, Lady Durandal?"

You seem to be in a good mood today.

"..."

Rita took a deep breath, recalling everything that had just happened, but in the end, she still managed a smile.

"Yes, it's pretty good."

"Did something good happen?"

"Not really, but... I hope my words can be of some help to the other person. After all, I don't want my future colleagues to become worse and worse."

Yes, Durandal remembered—Rita went out with her boss today.

Then he came back looking like he was in a really good mood... and he came back very late...

Durandal frowned – she had a feeling that she could imagine some bad plot, could it be... no way... but it seems that Rita is indeed that age.

But speaking of which, aren't all company leaders...fat, greasy middle-aged men?

hiss!?

Durandal's expression was a little off. Although she didn't think Rita's taste was that bad, she felt that as Rita's close friend, it was necessary to offer her advice.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Durandal made a decision.

······

When he got home that evening, the living room light was still on, but only Fu Hua was there. She was clearly surprised to see Xu Qi return.

"Brother Xu Qi?"

"Hua...where are the others?"

"You texted me saying you'd be back late tonight, and then... Mei seemed a little angry and went straight to her room to sleep."

……

Xu Qi sighed deeply—it was understandable to be angry, after all, he really wasn't anything special.

Fu Hua frowned, sensing that her brother was acting strangely today. She stood up, took Xu Qi's arm, and pulled him to sit beside her.

"What's wrong, Brother Xu Qi? Why are you back so late today?"

“I… Professor Möbius took me to a place last time that was perfect for relaxing. I sat there by myself for a while and thought about a lot of things.”
