We moved to Golden Courtyard

Bronya also fell into deep thought.

Shi Yu Qiluo stood nervously in the recording studio. After all, she felt that her performance had been quite good, and she had met all of Manager Xu's requirements, but why...

"It's because a certain kind of emotion is missing."

The voice director, who was nearly 50 years old, sat at the mixing console and said calmly.

Xu Qi was taken aback.

"emotion?"

"Hmm, didn't the screenwriter just say that in this scene, Miss Lacus is entrusting Alahatto to Kira's freedom? I think it's not just to help Kira, but also in the process..."

Xu Qi instantly understood!

"There must be love!"

The middle-aged man smiled.

“That’s right!” Xu Qi said to Shi Yu Qi Luo, “Miss Shi Yu, everything else is great, but there’s one thing missing: the love for your lover.”

"like?"

Shi Yu Qi Luo was taken aback.

"Yes, at that time, Lux and Kira were basically a couple. Their love, even if not explicit, was definitely not ambiguous."

There's a subtle beauty to it, which is what you lacked in your performance just now.

Shi Yu Qiluo frowned, glanced at Xu Qi discreetly, and then whispered.

"Then... shall I try again?"

"Ok."

……

"No, this will turn into a love-obsessed person whose mind is only focused on romance."

……

"No, the affection is too weak, it's like there's only a little bit of goodwill. We're not at the very beginning of our relationship anymore, so the feelings need to be richer."

……

"No!...No!...It still won't work!"

Xu Qi covered her face with her hands, while Shi Yu Qi Luo scratched her head awkwardly, feeling a little ashamed.

"Um, supervisor, I... I've never been in a relationship, so I might... not know much about it..."

"This……"

Xu Qi was speechless for a moment, but Bronya next to him laughed and said, "Actually, some of the versions in the middle were already quite good, but..."

Bronya glanced at Xu Qi sideways and said in a sinister tone, "Our manager Xu Qi has had quite a few relationships, so she knows all too well how girls talk in these situations."

Xu Qi... Xu Qi couldn't refute it.

This remark drew laughter from some of the women present, including the voice actors who were still in the recording studio.

"I think the director is actually quite satisfied."

The voice director smiled and said, "The supervisor is right, but it's not a bad thing that Manager Xu is so meticulous."

Xu Qi smiled helplessly and said to Shi Yu Qiluo in the recording studio, "Well then, it depends on your opinion. Since the director and supervisor both think it's okay, I'm fine with it too."

If you want to…

"I want to do it again!"

Ok?

Everyone looked at the determined, or rather, somewhat stubborn, girl. She looked at Xu Qi defiantly and said, "Now that we know there's room for improvement, why not give it a try?"

And when the official anime series airs, this segment will also be included! Alahatse Seed... I can feel the hard work the production team put into it!

I have no reason to... just choose to run away.

……

A fleeting look crossed Bronya's eyes. She suddenly looked at Xu Qi and thought—he did look quite similar.

The other recording engineers in the studio also looked at Shigure Kira with astonishment; the newcomer's enthusiasm almost infected them as well.

A few rounds of applause broke out, starting from who knows who, making Shi Yu Qi Luo lower her head slightly shyly.

"Since that's the case, let's try again. I'd like to mention a few more points, Shigure Kira, listen carefully."

"Yes, Supervisor Xu!"

"What's important is that the love is no longer hidden in her heart. Although she doesn't show it openly, she still wants to show it to the person she loves."

I know you've never been in a relationship, but you must have someone you admire but haven't been able to express your feelings to, right? Try putting yourself in their shoes.

"Okay... okay."

Shi Yu Qiluo took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and recalled Xu Qi's words in her mind.

The person I admire, but dare not express my feelings to?

……

"Have more confidence in yourself, Miss Shigure... You are indeed doing something very great." (Chapter 242)

……

No, no! Why am I suddenly thinking about what Mr. Xu Qi said that day?

It should be Dr. Mei, shouldn't it?

But something seems a little off between the two women...

Wait a minute! Respect! That's right! Yes! ...It simply means respect! It's respect for Mr. Xu Qi's appreciation of me, and even more so, respect for Mr. Xu Qi's respect for me and the work I'm doing!

That's right! ...There were no other emotions mixed in.

It's just used to interpret this sentence well, to interpret this feeling well.

That's right! That's exactly it! Go, Shigure Kira!

Shi Yu Qi Luo suddenly opened her eyes! What puzzled Xu Qi was that... had she just given her a deep look? Why?

The girl with the white ponytail took a deep breath, and this time... her gaze was no longer concealed as she looked directly at Xu Qi, imagining the scene that Mr. Xu Qi had just described to her.

And then...and again, treat her as someone you love, no!...someone you respect and admire, yet who you couldn't express your feelings to...

Please, Miss Lacus Clyne, convey your feelings for Kira Yamato to me and Xu Qi!

433. Let Gretchen roam freely in the ocean of knowledge.

After finishing a day's work, when she returned to the Golden Courtyard in the evening, she found that everyone who had returned to the villa was gathered around Gretchen.

Even when Xu Qi returned, the gentle Ying Jie simply stepped forward and gave him a kiss, then helped Xu Qi take off his coat.

What are they doing?

Sakura covered her mouth and chuckled softly, seemingly finding the mere thought of it incredibly amusing.

She whispered a word in Xu Qi's ear—"monthly exam".

it is good!

Xu Qi immediately understood.

A gloating smile began to creep onto his face.

Sakura rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at you... How could you bear to tease little Gretchen?"

"Who didn't go through that phase? How did you do on the exam?"

"I don't know, I just got back too, but as soon as I got back I saw Eden scolding little Greta with a not-so-good look on his face, and Aponia could only sit on the side."

Xu Qi immediately felt sorry for him.

Under Sister Ying's amused gaze, Xu Qi stepped forward and coughed.

"Hey! What's everyone doing?"

Mei's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Xu Qi!

Alicia, as if seeing a savior, and the two of them exchanged a knowing glance with Xu Qi before shooing everyone away.

The cat, with its awful personality, even said something when it left.

"Huh? I was hoping to see a good show..."

Xu Qi finally saw it clearly.

At this moment, little Greta was sitting on the sofa with her test paper in front of her. She was looking down, her hands twisted together, looking aggrieved.

Aponia could only sit beside Gretsch, half-embracing her.

Eden naturally saw Xu Qi return, but even her younger brother couldn't improve the mood of this strict "parent".

She stood opposite Gretchen, her brow furrowed with anger.

"Are you just going to stay silent like this? I'm not someone who cares much about grades, but Gretchen, you're not in elementary school anymore, you're in middle school."

Tell me, do you think this result is deserved? Is it appropriate?

"Your parents entrusted you so confidently to me, and I'm supposed to go see them with grades like this?"

Seeing this, Xu Qi came over and gently patted Eden's back, comforting her, "What's wrong? Sister, don't get angry, getting angry is bad for your health."

Eden gave Xu Qi a disapproving look.

"Can I not get angry? You..."

"Okay..."

Xu Qi smiled and touched the corner of Eden's lips. This unexpected gesture startled Eden, who quickly looked around.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when they realized no one was paying attention to this area.

Annoyed, she slapped Xu Qi and said, "Stop messing around, can't you see I'm here..."

"I know, I know, don't be angry, sis. Come on, sit down for a while." Xu Qi smiled and pulled Eden to sit on the sofa next to her, giving Ying a wink so she could get some water.

"Eden, have some water first."

Looking at Sakura in front of him, Eden sighed. Now he couldn't vent his anger...

Seeing this, Xu Qi went to little Gretchen's side, gave Aponia a look, and then hugged Gretchen to comfort her, saying, "Oh dear? What's wrong, my little Gretchen? Are you unhappy?"

Greta shook her head. She had been holding back her tears, but now that Xu Qi was hugging her, she couldn't help it and they all flowed onto his chest.

"Oh dear, why are you crying? Sweetie~ Sweetie~ We won't cry, Gretchen is very strong. Let me think... Hmm! She's definitely stronger than a cat!"

Nestled in Xu Qi's arms, Gretchen cried for a while, then couldn't help but laugh, saying softly, "Gretchen, you've always been stronger than Paddy..."

"Okay~~ then don't cry, okay? Come on, tell Brother Xu Qi what happened?"

Greta left Xu Qi's embrace, glanced fearfully at Eden, and then lowered her head to say, "I didn't do well on the exam..."

Xu Qi suppressed a laugh and took Gretchen's test paper to look at it.

I'll be in the second year of junior high when school starts, and this is the first time the full score will be calculated out of 150 points.

Chinese Language - 130

Mathematics—54…?

English—148…?

Physics is only taught in the second year of junior high school in Shanghai, so there was no first monthly exam.

Goodness... He's got the style of Xu Qi back in the day, both of them are students who specialize in one subject to the extreme.

"Didn't you do quite well on the test? You got 130 in Chinese! And even 148 in English, only losing two points..."

Eden glared at Xu Qi. "You deliberately avoided mentioning math, didn't you? 54 points... Gretchen, did you go too far this summer?"

Greta shrank back—she was scared…

Xu Qi carefully read through the test paper with a score of 54.
