We moved to Golden Courtyard

"what happened?"

"It seems like... he's grown a bit..."

"what?"

"Let me see if there are any elsewhere."

"Hey, stop messing around~~"

But she couldn't stop her brother; he was still through the fabric of which she couldn't tell what it was, but which felt exceptionally soft...

He then looked regretful.

"No change."

"Anything changing would be suspicious!"

"But...it really feels different, at least much better than usual."

Now even Fu Hua couldn't be sure—was it really true?

Wait a minute! We were talking about serious business, how did we end up playing games?

Fu Hua quickly tapped Xu Qi on the head and said, "We're talking about your sister, stop messing with me."

Xu Qi nodded – “Okay.”

Then she lifted the hem of the dress.

"what!"

This sudden turn of events was quite unpleasant for Fu Hua. She quickly hugged Xu Qi, breathing slightly heavily.

"You...you don't even let me finish speaking before you start again..."

"They're all the same, they're all the same."

Can they be the same?

Fu Hua rolled her eyes, but still said, "There's no need to rush things with Eden. What I said didn't mean you should actually take the initiative to pursue her."

This is getting interesting...

Xu Qi asked, "What does that mean?"

“Unlike me, I never intended for you to be my brother. I only want you to treat me like a lover, like Mei does, so I don’t mind if you make more intimate moves with me.”

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly.

“But Sister Eden…it’s obvious that she really treats you like a younger brother.”

Xu Qi could sense this in the crowdfunding group ④⑤6127940, but Fu Hua's next words were somewhat unexpected.

"But at the same time... I also want to be close to you."

"What do you mean?"

“Eden has no relatives, so naturally she cares about us a lot and treats everyone in the Golden Courtyard as her family. Especially you, brother, out of so many people, Eden values ​​you the most.”

indeed……

“If you take the initiative to pursue her, Eden will definitely not like it, because then you won’t be a younger brother anymore—what younger brother would pursue his older sister?”

But if you don't take the initiative, won't you miss your chance?

No... Why am I subconsciously starting to think about how I can be with Eden?

“I know what you’re thinking. You just want to do nothing. Sister Eden really has feelings for you. It’s better not to be her brother. After all, you like Eden too.”

If Eden still wants you to be her brother, then you'll just have to comply with her wishes. That's settled, right?

Indeed, Fu Hua has already begun to understand his thoughts.

“But you’re wrong, Xu Qi… Just like I’m not willing to be your sister forever. Sister Eden, she won’t be willing to be your older sister forever.”

These words truly enlightened Xu Qi!

Considering Fu Hua's previous words, Eden doesn't want to be just Xu Qi's older sister, but she also can't bear to lose a younger brother like Xu Qi...

"You'll be stuck in this for the rest of your life, unable to move on, and eventually become depressed and unhappy..."

Xu Qi seems to have realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yeah, you and Eden are both too close to the situation to see clearly. But my experience is similar to Eden's, and to be honest, it's very painful... I don't want to be your sister."

Fu Hua hugged Xu Qi's neck.

"I want to stay with you like this, brother."

……

"I can only offer one piece of advice, brother... you are Eden's younger brother, her closest and dearest relative. First, be a good family member, and then... fall into the role of a lover."

The word 'degenerate' is well-chosen.

Xu Qi understood what Fu Hua wanted to tell him tonight—that he shouldn't be inactive, but also shouldn't be too proactive.

What is this? His own woman... helping him pursue another woman?

Xu Qi said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Are you spoiling me this much?"

"There's nothing I can do, what can I do when you're my favorite Xu Qi brother?"

Xu Qi leaned close to Fu Hua's ear.

"Then tonight, it seems I should reward my little strategist who came up with the best ideas for me."

Fu Hua licked her lips; she was now enjoying herself even more.

"Then... let's do it one more time. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if we do it too much."

"once?"

Whom do you look down on?

"I'll make sure you can't get off the plane tomorrow!"

365. Mei: I'm the leader, right?

Whether Fu Hua got out of bed the next day is another matter.

One can only say their courage is commendable.

Afterwards, Mei asked Fu Hua what had happened the night before. Fu Hua then told her everything in detail, including how she had given Xu Qi advice on how to conquer Eden.

Upon hearing this, Mei first marveled that Fu Hua was just as intelligent as she was.

Then he said, "Sister Eden is an exception. I think most of the women in the courtyard have been thoroughly abused by Xu Qi. So be it, they will inevitably sleep together in the future."

Fu Hua's expression turned somewhat strange—what about Greta? That can't be right...

“But women outside are a different story! You can’t keep giving Xu Qi advice on how to pursue other girls.”

He's already a player himself, and then you, Fu Hua, become his cunning strategist...

Mei couldn't imagine what the future held.

Fu Hua confidently asserted, "No! Absolutely not!"

This is also a way of showing my loyalty; I am a staunch Mei supporter!

Mei looks a bit strange... How come she seems like a real gangster? Am I the ringleader?

That's fine too, Mei is already fantasizing—I won't die! You'll all just be concubines in the end!

It's a pity that Xu Qi's vast harem has not a single member who can rival me, Raiden Mei! What use is this power to me?

The role of the empress was truly uninteresting.

Of course, Xu Qi was completely unaware of Mei's thoughts.

He was having another headache.

"What I mean is that Mr. Mu from the 3D team didn't actually have many ideas about it; he felt that the last part didn't matter whether it was used or not. The one arguing the most was..."

"On the contrary, it was Xiao Yun, the animation director of the first episode, and Liu Qi, the animation director of the second episode."

After Rita finished speaking, she found it somewhat amusing herself.

The two animation directors, both former animators, had a disagreement over the use of 3D technology.

Xiao Yun believes that the scene where Alahatto gets up was well-made with mature 3D technology. Although the scene was not detailed enough, it was grand and had enough tension.

Liu Qi is a complete conservative. In her opinion, 3D technology in the animation industry can only be used to make some low-brow things. When it comes to real technical skill, it still comes down to original animation!

Clearly, neither Xiaotong nor Susana expected the two teachers to take this matter so seriously!

The plan has been discussed for so long without a resolution...

"Should we report this to the supervisor?"

Tell Bronya?

She's probably stuck on the storyboard production for episode 3 right now...

Moreover, she was about to discuss cooperation with the Gold Group. Although she had indeed handed over all matters to Walter, she couldn't completely ignore them.

"Or should we leave it for now and let the two of them focus on the bigger picture? Since there are original animation shots in the first episode, let's use them for now."

Yes, it is possible.

Rather, this is how it's managed most of the time.

But Xu Qi thought about it more deeply.

Alahatse Seed has a total of 48 episodes, a long production cycle, and a large workload. Under such circumstances, the conflict between the two animation directors may become increasingly irreconcilable as the series progresses.

"You can't hide forever; you have to deal with it eventually."

Xu Qi glanced at Rita and asked, "Are both teachers at the company? Or are they working from home?"

"Teacher Liu is always at home. Teacher Xiao comes to the company occasionally, but she probably won't be here today either."

"I need to have a serious talk with them..."

······

"Manager Xu, have some tea."

In the morning, Xu Qi visited Liu Qi's home.

Xu Qi had initially thought that Liu Qi, being a conservative, must have a bad temper to have argued with Teacher Xiao like that. However, upon meeting her, Xu Qi's opinion of her changed.

First of all... she's the older sister who best fits Xu Qi's XP.

Even at home, she likes to wear a set of Hanfu, but despite her slightly old-fashioned appearance, she is extremely casual in her demeanor.

At this moment, he was casually lying on the sofa, with line drawings and original paintings covering the desk in front of him.

The visit of Xu Qi and Rita was not unexpected.

"Teacher Liu... is indeed no ordinary person."

"You mean this outfit?" Liu Qi asked with a smile. She had naturally heard of Xu Qi, the manager who was currently very popular in the company.

Unfortunately, she didn't go to the company often, so she didn't know the other party well.

Most people in the animation industry are like that; they have strong personalities, and Xu Qi gradually got used to it.

"It's very rare to see someone wearing Hanfu at home."

Is it pretty?

Rita's appearance was strange, but Xu Qi probably wasn't so eerie that a woman would fall for him at first sight, so she decided to observe quietly.

Xu Qi took a serious look at it.

At this moment, Liu Qi was wearing a pink dress, her clothes half-undone, her breasts slightly exposed, her posture enchanting and charming, and her pair of delicate and slender legs were half-hidden under the hem of the dress.

The sun rises above the treetops, orioles flit through the willow branches, and I still lie under the fragrant quilt.

"nice."

Liu Qi's eyes lit up. She was indeed a remarkable person. If it were an ordinary man, his eyes would have wandered at this moment—wanting to look, but knowing that his heart was filthy, he dared not look any longer.

But there are probably not many people like Manager Xu who are so open and generous, simply looking at someone with pure appreciation.
