We moved to Golden Courtyard

Although they were online friends, they had known each other for a year. Xu Qi felt that they could be considered friends, and he should try to persuade the other person to change their awkward personality.

Otherwise, how will I find a girlfriend?

Shining Qiqi: Just woke up, next time if I can't stay awake, I'll sleep on you.

I wish I could sleep on Theresa's body; it's so soft and fragrant, it would definitely be perfect as a cushion.

I took a shower early in the morning, and when I came out of the room, I saw Ellie sleeping on the table in the living room, drooling. There was a notebook next to her.

What's going on? Did you get too carried away playing games last night, just like me?

Xu Qi leaned closer to take a look—damn it! The live stream wasn't even turned off!

Look at the comments.

"Where's the streamer? Still sleeping?"

"Sleeping broadcast, right? No need for the costume, just look at her sleeping face."

"No, did I just hear snoring?"

"Hehe~~ I fell asleep listening to the pink fairy's voice, and now that I'm awake, I'd say I slept very soundly."

Incidentally, Alicia's online name when streaming on VTubers is also "Pink Fairy."

Xu Qi sighed.

He didn't rush to turn off the live stream. Instead, he found a jacket and draped it over the other person's shoulders. After thinking for a moment, he poured a glass of water and prepared a pack of restaurant paper napkins to place next to him.

Suddenly, there was a noise upstairs. Xu Qi looked up and saw Fu Hua, who was getting ready to go out for her morning exercise.

She first saw Ai Li sleeping on the table, and then she saw Xu Qi busy at work.

Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a little moved by the thoughtful gesture.

As a boyfriend, Xu Qi is truly outstanding—so why isn't he with Alicia? Everyone in the courtyard seems to feel the same way…

Of course, it's not that Mei is bad, it's just that when we chat in private, we always end up talking about ambiguous topics related to these two guys.

Over time, although they didn't end up together, everyone in the Golden Courtyard always felt that Alicia was destined to be with Xu Qi—for no apparent reason.

Xu Qi's attitude towards Aili is clearly special, and the same goes for Ailisia.

But these two guys are just too awkward...

Good morning, Fu Hua.

"Good morning, Brother Xu Qi... wanna do some morning exercise?"

"Okay, let's go together."

As she got closer, Fu Hua lowered her voice and said, "Aili, she..."

"I don't know, maybe she had some live-streaming assignment last night... Let her sleep a little longer, we shouldn't disturb her."

How considerate of Xu Qi!

······

She didn't know when, but when Alicia groggily opened her eyes, she didn't feel the blinding light that she should have felt.

Squinting, I realized that the living room curtains were all drawn.

Did I draw the curtains last night?

Ellie was a little confused; she couldn't remember.

The clothes draped over her body fell off as she slowly straightened up. Ellie was taken aback; there was no doubt that someone had covered her up, since these weren't even her own clothes.

Who could it be? Was it Pado who got up in the middle of the night to help?

I'm a little thirsty...

I could just see a cup in my field of vision.

It was like finding an oasis in the desert. Ellie quickly grabbed the food and started gulping it down, not caring about ladylike manners at that moment, because she was really thirsty...

"what……"

With a satisfied sigh, Ellie subconsciously reached out and grabbed a few napkins to wipe her mouth.

I drank it too fast, and the water spilled out.

At this moment, Ellie, who was gradually waking up, was stunned again—who poured the water for her? And... there shouldn't be any tablecloths on the living room table, so who brought them there?

Then look down at the coat that had slipped off.

Xu Qi...

……

Alicia glanced at her computer screen at the crowdfunding group ④⑤陆①二柒九肆零 and realized the live stream had been turned off. If she remembered correctly, it seemed to be a chat with her viewers last night, and then she started chatting and...

Fell asleep.

Only Xu Qi could be so meticulous...

I don't know why, but a pang of sadness and inexplicable sorrow welled up in my heart.

This was the first time Ellie had experienced such a negative human emotion so clearly.

Memories flash before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

I personally received him at the Golden Courtyard.

We played video games together until we fell asleep at night.

They poured out their hearts to each other.

Of course, there were also some inexplicable arguments.

Most of the time, it was Xu Qi who took the initiative to coax her. In fact, every time he came to coax her, Ai Li had already forgiven him.

But seeing Xu Qi's clumsy appearance, I felt inexplicably warmed.

She accompanied him to Vilvi's magic show, and they even stole Paddo's cat costume together.

Everyone at Golden Courtyard is so serious... but Xu Qi is different...

With him around, it always seemed like there was laughter.

Memories faded away little by little before my eyes, finally settling on the moment when he brought Mei to the Golden Garden.

……

Alicia reached out and covered her chest. She felt so sad... a sense of regret, as if a piece of her heart was missing, kept nagging at her.

Xu Qi...

"Crack!"

The sound of the door turning brought Ellie back to her senses.

She looked up at the entrance and saw Xu Qi walking in, shirtless and covered in sweat. Fu Hua followed behind him, wearing only a sports bra.

"Huh? Ellie? She's already awake?"

"Uh... um." For some reason, Ai Li turned her head away, seemingly afraid to look at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi didn't care. Of course, he didn't know how terrifying the impact his strong upper body had on women at this moment was.

Fu Hua went upstairs, panting heavily.

"Brother Xu Qi, I'm going to take a shower."

"Ah."

Xu Qi grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself, then collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily.

"Ah... the weather's getting hotter, air conditioning is so much more comfortable..."

Ellie was taken aback, then suddenly grabbed her coat, ran over to Xu Qi, and covered him with it while he looked on in a daze.

"Honestly! How can this temperature fluctuate like this? You'll catch a cold!"

“Aili…”

Her cheeks were still flushed as Alicia leaned closer to Xu Qi. They were so close that Xu Qi could even smell a faint floral scent—this couldn't be Alicia's…

"Go take a shower!"

56. Miss Mei! My house has been robbed!

Ellie pushed and shoved him into the bathroom, even grabbing his clothes for him. Ellie could still hear her saying something outside the bathroom door…

"You've gotten too cocky just because Mei's not here, haven't you? I promised Mei I'd take good care of you while she's gone for the next three days. I can't let her come back to find a sick Xu Qi."

Sakura, who was coming downstairs to go to work, happened to hear this, which made her look a little strange.

You promised Mei... to take care of Xu Qi?

It would be a miracle if Mei agreed to let you do something like this. She specifically asked Aponia to take care of you... You want to take care of her in bed, right?

Of course, Sakura wouldn't concern herself with these things; rather...

Hmm, isn't that good too?

This might be a bit bad for Mei-san.

After taking a shower, feeling refreshed, Xu Qi came out and could see Ellie playing with Gretchen in the living room, and Nia standing to the side with a loving look in her eyes.

"Huh? Brother Xu Qi!"

Greta, still holding a paintbrush, jogged up to Xu Qi and threw herself into his arms.

"What's wrong, Gretchen? What happened?"

"Sister Aili just said that Brother Xu Qi was shirtless and enjoying the air conditioning again, and she wants me to teach you a lesson."

Xu Qi was in a great mood. He suppressed a laugh and said, "So, how does Greta plan to teach me a lesson?"

"Hmm...I'm going to cut off your limbs!"

……

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"Brother Jie! What have you been teaching little Greta?!"

Qian Jie, who was still studying recipes in the kitchen, shrank back. To be honest, if anyone else had spoken to Qian Jie in that tone, they would have given him a good taste of what despair and fear were.

But Xu Qi is different, and since it concerns Greta, it means...

“Ten thousand kalpas, you should take this as a warning.”

"So noisy! I'll be more careful next time!"

Greta blinked, put on a stern face, and said to Xu Qi, "It's so noisy, Brother Xu Qi, be careful next time."

……

“I’ll go upstairs to study it. You guys hurry up and try to change this kid’s temperament.”

Watching Qianjie go upstairs, Xu Qi rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly. That's the problem with little Greta; she's like a blank sheet of paper. No matter who she spends time with, she'll become someone else's shape, or rather... appearance.

"Alright? ~~ Qianjie didn't do it on purpose, did he? ~~"

Ellie squatted down in front of Gretsch and gently patted the other's head with a smile.

"You're right, aren't you, Gretchen?"

"climb."

……

"Xu Qi! You stay away from Greta too!"

Although somewhat surprised, Xu Qi still found it quite amusing to see Alicia's exasperated expression. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and patted Gretsch on the shoulder.

"Hahaha! That's right, Gretchen."

Aponia, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but sigh. She stepped forward, took little Gretchen from him, and gently tapped Alicia and Xu Qi on the head.

"Let's go, Gretchen, it's time for class."

“Okay, Mom Aponia.”
