We moved to Golden Courtyard

"I have voice-over work for a PV later! I asked you to come with me to give me some advice, what were you thinking!?"

"Um...no...no, it's still your problem. You just like to play with weird things."

Xu Qi glanced at Delta across the table, who immediately lowered his head to show he was working diligently—really, you two, don't tell me about your tricks in front of me.

"Let's go, I've brought you lunch too."

"Yes, Manager Xu."

After taking some necessary documents, Rita and Xu Qi left the office together.

Today, Ms. Rita was still dressed in her black and white business attire, looking radiant.

But halfway there, Rita suddenly frowned. If she remembered correctly, on the way to the recording studio, she seemed to have to pass by that storage room that hardly anyone walked through.

Ah yes, it's right here we're walking. Just a little further ahead is the place where Xu Qi first forcibly kissed me at the company...

Ok?

Rita suddenly became alert and was about to fall back a few steps when Xu Qi pulled her into his arms and pinned her against the walls on either side.

The heat blew across Rita's cheeks. She still clutched the documents and files in her arms, as if it were her last defense against Xu Qi. She said, her neck stiff, "You...you shouldn't come to the crowdfunding group 56127940..."

431. Rita only brings protection and sweetness, not knives.

Is it possible for her not to do anything reckless? What an adorable little maid.

"You won't let me do whatever I want, but you were so arrogant and gossipy about me in the office just now?"

A blush spread across Rita's neck and eventually reached the maid's delicate earlobe, like a bright red, tempting fruit waiting to be picked.

"Wasn't what I said the truth?"

"Okay, I have to admit, Mei is indeed my favorite."

Rita lowered her eyes sadly, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye making her look especially aggrieved. "Idiot... how could I be happy when you said that to my face..."

"But that doesn't mean I don't love you, Rita."

Taking the document from Rita's arms and casually tossing it on the ground, Xu Qi took Rita's fair hand and placed it on his left chest.

"Can you feel it? This powerful heartbeat. I can never control my heartbeat in front of you."

The joy on his face was impossible to hide.

But Rita felt she couldn't give in so quickly; she wanted to persist a little longer, so she stubbornly said, "You just... just like this body of mine."

It must be said that Ms. Rita certainly has the right to say that.

With a naturally alluring body and a cultivated temperament, she combines charm and nobility, creating a contradictory yet stimulating effect with every move.

No matter how much she practices her professional ethics as a maid, the nobility ingrained in her bones can never be concealed. Who in this world is worthy of being served by Rita?

So Xu Qi feels very lucky... extremely lucky.

He was lucky to win Rita's favor and love.

"Rita, there are many things I've only told you with words, and you may not feel them as deeply, but I still want to tell you..."

No matter what happens to you, whether you're in a dilemma or trapped in a difficult situation, just remember one thing: I, Xu Qi, will always stand by your side.

……

Rita remained silent for a while, then said calmly, "Even if it goes against your principles?"

"The reason I fell in love with Miss Rita is because I know that Miss Rita and I are the same kind of person, and you will not do anything that would make me regret it."

My little maid always seems so timid, afraid that I'll leave her or hate her... How could that be? Because I understand you, I love you; because I love you, I understand you even more.

Do you remember our first date? When we came back, you scolded me, saying, "What do you love now?"

But that's not the most memorable thing. I still remember it to this day. I remember a young girl talking about her daily life and hopes in the flower shop during her childhood.

Remember that saying—the flowers and plants we tend to may seem small, but their seeds will eventually sprout and bloom into a field of flowers.

I remember you expressed your gratitude to those I saved during the 956 incident.

From that moment on, I knew that Miss Rita was a person with light and kindness in her heart, just like me.

The moment I fell in love with you, I wanted to try my best to understand you, and the more I understood you, the more I loved you. You said you wanted to open a flower shop, so I will be your gardener.

Miss Rita, I think I'll never... um!

I can't bring myself to say anything sweet anymore.

Because Rita couldn't listen to it anymore either.

She was afraid that if she listened any longer, she would burst into tears in front of Xu Qi...

She kissed Xu Qi passionately, expressing her love for him, and used her tongue to pry open his teeth, entwining herself with her lover.

She couldn't help but say something until they parted ways.

"That's all you say to comfort me..."

"Because I'm also afraid of something."

"What do you have to be afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll leave."

……

Rita remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "Isn't this kind of thing... nice? We can see each other every day, go on dates occasionally, and... do things we love."

Xu Qi didn't answer, but just looked at Rita quietly, while Miss Rita suddenly remembered what Durandal had said to her that night.

……

"I'm just guessing. I think with his intelligence, your disguise might have been exposed long ago, but he just never pointed it out."

……

No...no, Xu Qi won't know, and she doesn't want Xu Qi to know...

As a maid, she should naturally drive away all darkness for her master. She is perfect, and Xu Qi... Rita will never allow anyone to have the opportunity to hurt him.

"I understand, your maid will never leave you, really."

Xu Qi gave a helpless smile.

But soon after, Rita kissed him deeply again.

Neither of them made any further moves, seemingly not wanting any distracting thoughts to disturb the beautiful atmosphere.

As their lips parted, Rita laughed and said, "You don't believe me."

"How did you know?"

“I know all those little tricks you used, like you wouldn’t let go of my tongue.”

Has he really become a tapeworm in his stomach?

“Rita is serious about these words. I’ve thought about them for a long time. Durandal also told me—Xu Qi, you know I’m hiding something from you, right?”

Xu Qi nodded.

"You're really honest... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just that there are some things I genuinely feel are better left unsaid than known. Will you... blame me?"

Xu Qi didn't answer; this time, he took the initiative to kiss Rita's lips.

"You understand me so well, can you understand the meaning behind my kiss this time?"

Rita felt both shy and sweet.

She nudged Xu Qi lightly with her head to express her dissatisfaction.

You won't blame me, will you?

"The reward is to go back to the office at noon."

What kind of reward is going back to the office?

But Rita only took a moment to realize what was going on. Her cheeks flushed, her eyes darted away, but she nodded gently—she... was actually a little tempted too.

Xu Qi, I really love you so much. But it's precisely because of this love that there are some things I can't tell you, except for one thing...

"I won't leave you, Xu Qi, because this time I really can't bear to... So you should believe me, okay?... This time you're not allowed to answer me with a kiss!"

Xu Qi smiled.

"I'll answer you when I get back to the office at noon."

"You!..." Rita was deeply embarrassed. She pushed him away, then squatted down to pick up the documents and rolled her eyes at Xu Qi.

"Let's go, we'll be late if we don't leave now."

"Yes, my maid."

······

In the recording studio, Bronya saw Xu Qi, who had finally appeared, and her face lit up with joy. However, when she saw Rita following closely behind, her expression immediately changed.

Why are you so late?

Xu Qi sat down next to Bronya with Rita and apologized, "I had something to take care of, so I was delayed for a while."

Perhaps you were having an affair with your secretary, which is why you're late?

Bronya didn't say much. There were many people in the recording studio, including the producer, sound director, and sound engineer.

Where are we now?

Bronya pouted.

Xu Qi took a look—a white ponytail with a hint of light blue, swaying slightly as the girl cheered her on. Her idol-like energy could be felt even through the soundproof glass.

Shiyu Kira...

So that means we've reached Lux's segment?

432. Shigure Kira Wants to Fall in Love

"It is not enough to rely on faith alone, or even just on strength alone."

"Your dream is your own, sing for yourself, and dreams should not be used by others."

In the recording studio, the young Shigure Kira is fully immersed in portraying the character Lux.

Because it's a promotional video, a long dialogue isn't necessary; just some snippets are enough. In fact, these lines and snippets don't even match.

After all, for the later episodes, there wasn't even any storyboard, let alone original drawings.

As the scriptwriter, Xu Qi had to immerse the voice actors in the scene as much as possible.

“Here, faith or strength alone is not enough. Kira said something similar before—having strength without faith is the same as having faith without strength.”

The difference lies in Lux's higher position; at that moment, you can see her as a leader, not a 16-year-old girl.

When saying this, the power isn't conveyed through the volume of your voice, but through a sense of conviction. Understand? Of course, you still need to maintain Lux's sweet, youthful voice.

Another point is that at this moment, she is handing Freedom over to Kira Yamato to support him in fulfilling his mission and ideals.

But at the same time, that was also her own ideal. Can you imagine that kind of situation?

Shi Yu Qi Luo nodded.

"Yes, Supervisor Xu."

"Okay... does the voice director have anything else to say?"

"Let me add a little something. Supervisor Xu's description of the situation and mindset was actually quite accurate..." What followed were some professional adjustments.

And when Shigure Kira spoke again...

Bronya's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xu Qi beside her, saying, "Much better!"

"Hmm..." But Xu Qi still frowned.

Seeing this, Rita asked on Xu Qi's behalf, "Is there still something wrong somewhere?"

"Hmm... but I can't quite put my finger on it. Actually, it's much better now. She's captured the feeling I described before, but it seems like..."

Or is there a problem somewhere?
