We moved to Golden Courtyard

The pilot of the Fallen Angel.

Xu Qi can still vividly recall that orange figure swooping down at incredible speed that day to save the girl who was about to jump off a cliff, but...

"I remember...of course I remember, you saved a girl."

As if she had finally found a topic that wouldn't make her feel shy, and that she could continue talking to Xu Qi, Xi'er couldn't help but smile.

"Her name is Xiao Mu, and she is Theresa's good friend."

"Theresa?"

"It's that little girl with short white hair in front of me. She looks small, but she's actually about my age."

Seele's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"What a coincidence... Mr. Xu Qi, do you know what happened to that girl afterward?"

"Yes, they were saved back then."

Xi'er's expression brightened, but she also keenly noticed a small detail in Xu Qi's words—at that time?

She asked with a hint of worry.

"And then... what happened next?"

……

Xu Qi did not answer, but Xi'er had already understood. With her exceptional mental strength, she naturally sensed the sadness in Xu Qi's heart.

But what Seele didn't know was that there was more than one person present with unusually powerful mental strength, or rather, a very powerful Newtype.

Theresa, who had been chatting and laughing with Himeko, became somewhat indifferent, while Rita, who was walking beside Durandal, couldn't help but slow down.

Seele hadn't expected it to end this way, and she quickly said, "Yes! I'm sorry! I didn't know..."

"It's okay, and the murderer has already been killed."

"murderer?"

Seele's expression turned serious!

"Yes, that was the night you ambushed Cocolia."

……

Nearby, Durandal couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi and whispered to Rita, "Is it...?"

"Yes, that night."

……

“I killed him with my own hands, that bastard.” Theresa said in a deep voice as she walked up to Xu Qi and the other person.

Seeing this, Seele quickly tried to apologize again, but Theresa, as if she knew what the little girl was about to do, said, "No need to apologize, I should thank you."

You saved Xiao Mu, but in the end I couldn't protect her... Instead, I should apologize to you.

Seele was a little anxious.

Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to offer comfort, but couldn't find the words.

Xu Qi reached out and rubbed Theresa's little head, then rubbed Seele's little head.

"If you feel guilty, then go and save more people... Besides, you must have seen it, right? Xiao Mu's—soul."

Theresa nodded heavily.

That night, she sensed that not only Xiao Mu, but also countless other girls who had been killed by that bastard, had all merged into Theresa's spiritual power.

Xu Qi made a half-joking remark.

"Give me your body! I'll lend it to everyone!"

"Ah!! Xu Qi! Stop talking!..."

"Haha! Just kidding, but at least in that moment, you should have been able to feel it, right? Did you sever Xiao Mu's last remaining obsession in this world..."

Indeed, but it wasn't actually after that scumbag named Qin Fusu died, but when I and Xu Qi fell onto the top of Mount Lu at the same time, gazing up at the reunion of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl...

Theresa could feel that her little Mu had finally left her completely.

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Xu Qi softened, but more than that, it was filled with shyness.

How do you know so much about this?

That's true. Even Newtypes might not have the same level of accurate perception of mental power as Xu Qi. Seele looked at Xu Qi with curiosity as well.

"Because in that tunnel, when I stood up again and successfully stopped the 956 train from moving forward, I felt that the spiritual power belonging to Luo Miao completely dissipated in that tunnel."

……

Seele and Theresa both looked somewhat downcast.

After all, this is a heavy topic.

Himeko couldn't help but look at Xu Qi, after all, it was on that day that she met this young man, Xu Qi.

For Xu Qi, both Xia Ya and Luo Miao had a tremendous impact on his life; it could even be said that without them, there would be no Xu Qi as we know him today.

"Why do you all seem so down? We came here on vacation."

Rita, who had been listening the whole time, couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can you talk about things that are so interesting?"

"That was my fault. But actually, I've been telling that incident like a story, just a part of life that I occasionally look back on, and it's not bad."

When this topic came up, even Mei, who was walking ahead, couldn't help but slow down and interject.

"It's just a train! Watch me push it back using V2V!"

Himeko couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, saying, "A young man with such a strong sense of justice and mission is hard to find even with a lantern in today's society."

That's why... it gained the recognition of everyone in the Golden Courtyard.

Some people touch people's hearts precisely because they are different from others.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard you talk about it much," Delta said. "Since you came to the company, you've been busy with work. I find your past experiences interesting to hear about."

Bronya retorted sarcastically.

"Indeed, I chatted with Miss Alicia for quite a while, and I think I overheard something... Under the night rain, a boy tightly embraced a girl, shouting loudly—"

But in my heart, you are more important than this world!

Mei's face turned bright red instantly! Everyone else watched with amusement, their eyes constantly shifting between Xu Qi and Mei.

"Ahem! Uh..." Xu Qi shrugged. "If you want to hear more, I actually have quite a few stories to tell."

And if you really want to talk about it, he has some connection with every woman present, more or less.

"Then I'll go first!" Rita deliberately raised her hand in a childlike tone. It certainly didn't sound like a child, but it had a certain comical quality that made everyone laugh.

"I want to hear... 'You are more important than this world!' What's the story?"

"Rita!!~~"

It's becoming increasingly rare to see Mei looking shy these days, Xu Qi burst out laughing.

The others nodded in agreement, eager to get their hands on this juicy gossip.

As expected, everyone is still very interested in Mei, the first wife, and her love story with Xu Qi.

Xu Qi put his arm around Mei's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Let me think... When should I start? Hmm! Let's start from when Mei and I first met. At that time, I was in college, and Mei was in high school..."

351. Himeko: Is it time for my sister to begin?

After a day of sightseeing, all I can say is that the West Lake scenery is indeed quite beautiful.

But it's impossible to pinpoint exactly what's so special about it. If we're talking about pleasant scenery, for Xu Qi, it's the beautiful women around him that bring him more joy.

No one is perfect. Nowadays, Xu Qi may not have a large number of wives and concubines, but he certainly has a lot of girlfriends.

But sometimes, when I gently rub Seele's head, Aunt Himeko will secretly give her a little groping...

This experience was quite good.

As for the woman traveling with Xu Qi, while there weren't many of his things, each one of them was quite remarkable, adding a touch of everyday life to the scene.

It's rare for Xu Qi to talk about his past.

Mei also said that he is the type who likes to listen to others talk, but when it's his turn, he usually doesn't say much.

I was in a good mood today and felt very talkative, so I said a little more than usual.

When he talked about his past relationship with Mei, Mei blushed but also felt a little sweet—after all, listening to her boyfriend recount their past as if it were his most cherished memory…

It feels quite peculiar.

When Xu Qi spoke out for Mei's bullying during high school, Aunt Himeko cheered him on repeatedly! He doesn't look like a police officer at all...

That is what is known as a chivalrous police officer.

When talking about that rainy night when he and Mei embraced, Xu Qi simply couldn't continue; it was too shameful.

Sakura added, "From beginning to end, all I ever wanted was to be your hero, Mei!"

It's embarrassing... but also romantic.

At least, apart from the people in the Golden Garden, as well as Himeko and Theresa who were present at the time, no one else really knew about this past event.

Rita sighed inwardly upon hearing this—how could she possibly compete with Mei?

There's absolutely no need to think about it.

Later, they talked about the events surrounding the 956 subway incident in Shanghai. It was the first time Himeko had heard of such a thing; she didn't realize that Char Aznable had such an experience behind him.

Durandal, however, said something.

"If the so-called new world is built on the blood of innocent people, then there will inevitably be more innocent people who die because of it."

Xu Qi was surprised—it really was Durandal, who had a heart full of justice and a sense of mission.

The meeting in Guangcheng left a very deep impression on both of them.

Seele said with some resentment, "It's just a pity for those who only think about using Mr. Romulus to gain high positions."

"It's not a pity. I later heard that because of Xia's incident, the Shanghai subway has undergone tremendous changes and shaken up."

Himeko is the most qualified to speak on this matter, as she works at the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau and knows more about the inside story.

"Changing the status quo cannot be achieved by punishing one person. From another perspective, Char has indeed brought about some changes in this place where people's hearts are restless."

While temporary fame and fortune are still valued, they are no longer encouraged. The key is that more and more young people like Luo Miao will emerge in the future.

Xu Qi gave a thumbs up – no wonder he works in a government agency.

Then they talked about what happened over Lushan.

As for this... everyone here has a lot to say about it.

It's hard for Bronya and Delta, who weren't present at the time, to imagine.

"Xu Qi, are you even human to fight against dozens of exoskeletons all by yourself?"

"The professor's V2V is strong."

When Xu Qi mentioned her, Mebius made a nonchalant remark.

"The prerequisite for driving a V2V is that it can withstand a gravitational acceleration of 30G to the extreme. In a sense, you have drifted further and further away from the concept of humanity."

"Don't portray me as a monster, Professor!"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

When talking about Lushan, one cannot ignore the subsequent fireworks display.

He then talked about what happened at Taixu Mountain a few days ago.

They may not have much experience, but they are all very knowledgeable.

Durandal's gaze towards Xu Qi was no longer simply one of satisfaction; the young man's excellence had far exceeded her expectations.

You'd better seize this opportunity... Rita!

Himeko stared at Theresa with a look of exasperation—why was she so engrossed in listening to the story?
