We moved to Golden Courtyard

She turned her head to look at the moonlight. At 28, she was long past that hazy age, so she never understood why Airi and Mei were being so coy.

"I may have fallen in love with you without realizing it, Xu Qi."

The outside world was calm and peaceful, but Xu Qi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Actually, I saw it last night, I saw you and Ellie here... but you didn't go all the way, right?"

Xu Qi simply nodded in response, his mind a jumbled mess, unsure of what to say.

Fortunately... Sakura suddenly put on her pajamas and got off Xu Qi.

Just as Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Ying take out two bottles of whiskey from the refrigerator.

She glanced at Xu Qi, tossed her head, and gestured for them to go upstairs.

What is this going to do?

"Can't I have a couple of drinks with my sister?"

Xu Qi looked at the wine bottle in Ying's hand, his expression changing several times.

final!……

"it is good……"

86. Don't just stare... you idiot!

The wind wasn't strong at night, even by the sea.

On the rooftop balcony, Ying and Xu Qi sat in deck chairs under the moonlight, with glasses of whiskey beside them.

Both of them had been drinking for a while, and their cheeks were unnaturally red. However, since they were both martial arts practitioners, they were not easily drunk even though they did not usually drink alcohol.

However... the effects of the alcohol were definitely having an impact on them.

"Speaking of which, you're really starting to impress me. It's like you have friends wherever you go. Even after coming to Guangcheng... you still have a lovely girl like Theresa to go home with you."

"This is truly a friend." Xu Qi rubbed his forehead with one hand. Even if he were a beast, he wouldn't lay a hand on such a young girl, would he? Although Theresa was an adult.

"Really? Let's just consider us friends for now."

Sakura swirled the wine in her glass. She knew she was probably already drunk, but... at this moment, she didn't want to hold back at all.

At the company's annual year-end dinner, countless people tried to get her drunk, but Ying only ever drank a small glass.

She drank very restrainedly because she was very guarded.

If a woman gets drunk in public, she's truly at the mercy of others...

But in front of Xu Qi, she didn't need to... she didn't need to be on guard at all, so relaxed that Ying felt like she was probably going crazy.

“Sakura…” Xu Qi was silent for a while, then suddenly said, fueled by alcohol, “We really can’t go on like this, it’s a mistake… I hope you can calm down.”

I'm not saying I'm rejecting you, Sakura. You're beautiful, and I like you very much, but... but it really shouldn't be like this. You said you wanted a romantic evening under the moon, you said you wanted a love affair.

When you said all this, it really broke my heart... I wanted to give you a relationship like that! But I didn't dare to say it back then, I didn't have the guts to say it!

Now that I have it, I want to tell you even more! If we love each other, then we shouldn't... we shouldn't be wallowing in this inexplicable desire.

……

After hearing this, Ying also fell silent for a while. She looked at Xu Qi with a smile that was neither happy nor sad, and slowly said.

"I see. You think I'm looking for an animal's instinct in you?"

"No!" Xu Qi was very excited, perhaps because he had been drinking... no, it was because he had been drinking.

He jumped up from the recliner, still holding a wine glass in his hand.

"That's not how it is! Sakura! I've never looked down on you! I know what you're thinking... In fact, in the Golden Garden, your thoughts are closest to mine!"

Kevin and Kosmo... they are heroes! They are saviors!

They are all people with a strong sense of justice!

Even the professor... in her heart, there is an ideal that no one else can surpass.

Only us... only us! Our hearts are small, our hearts are not big enough...

I only want everyone to be safe and sound; I only want everyone to be happy forever. Only on this basis can I talk about…saving others.

The sadness that had been on her face slowly faded, and Sakura revealed her true smile, teasing him.

"Back during the 956 incident, you disregarded your own safety and went to push the car?"

"That's because I believe in you! I believe in everyone in the Golden Courtyard! As long as you're here, I am... invincible!"

"Is it really a good idea to trust us this much?"

"What's wrong with it!"

Xu Qi suddenly moved closer to Ying; he was already a little drunk…

"I am not as strong as you, not as resolute as you, not as capable or thoughtful as you. What's wrong with me trusting you and relying on you?"

After all, all I need to know is... what kind of person I am, and that's enough.

“Indeed…” Ying reached out and gently stroked Xu Qi’s cheek.

"All you need to do is know who you are and do what you want to do, that's enough..."

"I'm getting off topic... I just wanted to say that you deserve better! A more perfect love! Sakura, even if that person were me, there's no need... no need to be in such a hurry!"

I've already scumbed to loving Mei without rejecting Airi! I wouldn't mind being even more of a scumbag... to give you the love of your dreams! To give you the romance you lost in your youth!

I, Xu Qi, can do it! I can do it!

Xu Qi held Ying's hands tightly. Fueled by alcohol, he finally revealed his deepest, most genuine desires.

"I will not let go of any of you!"

……

"That sounds like someone is just throwing away their life."

"It was a broken pot to begin with."

“That’s a broken pot I like too.” Sakura’s face was infinitely gentle, but there was one thing she had to correct Xu Qi on.

"Do you think I'm trying to make you feel guilty and take responsibility by doing this?"

Xu Qi blushed; he had indeed had that thought.

"Your thoughts are too easy to guess; they're written all over your face..."

Have it?

I was so naive after all...

“But that’s too slow. Have you ever thought that for a woman who is almost 30, there’s not enough time for you young people to take your time with us?”

"Ugh?"

"To live up to the motto of every moment."

So, the creed of "momentary moments" is used for this?!

Sakura suddenly pushed Xu Qi away, stood up from the recliner, and then... bent down and picked Xu Qi up in her arms!

Xu Qi: ?

"You said you would give me a romantic night out, and I remembered that. But now, I can't resist anymore. Now that I've made up my mind, I'll just do it."

Don't think I'll be like Mei and Airi, letting you go every time because of my pride. I've been through a lot, and I've learned one thing: opportunities are fleeting, and only those who seize them are true heroes.

Xu Qi suddenly felt that... perhaps he and Ying's genders should be switched.

Subconsciously, Xu Qi said something.

"There are no beds left..."

"Before I came up here, I sent a message to Fu Hua to go and sleep with Pado."

Are you really not afraid that Fu Hua will become suspicious?

“I told her that Xu Qi was drunk and I would take care of him, and that I needed to borrow the room. Fu Hua agreed very quickly.”

So you planned this all along!

"You absolutely have to submit to me tonight."

Sister Sakura, please don't do this, Sister Sakura! I'm scared!

······

Nighttime, in Sakura's room.

Fu Hua actually went to Pado's room. At that moment, Xu Qi had just finished showering and was lying on the bed wearing only his underwear. He trembled as he picked up his phone, wanting to browse something.

For example, posting on a forum like, "An older woman I've known for a year wants to sleep with me, what should I do?"

But I feel like 8U will just make fun of me, so I'd better not.

How to do?

Is Sakura really serious...?

Xu Qi had to admit that he was a little scared.

Before, I was in a daze when Sakura carried me into the room. After taking a shower, the effects of the alcohol had mostly dissipated.

No, how could I have actually given in?

Xu Qi found that her moral bottom line was getting lower and lower. From initially being set on Mei, to being unable to refuse Airi, to being almost brainwashed by Eden, and finally...

No way... I haven't even gotten to that point with Mei yet...

Green, buds, green.

I should probably try to persuade Sakura more; you really shouldn't act impulsively in these kinds of situations!

Just as Xu Qi was about to take action, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Then... a short while later, Sakura, who had changed into a new set of pajamas, her thin robe and gauze half-covering her chest, slowly walked out.

No matter how bold she had been just now, Sakura's cheeks were now flushed. Perhaps this was just a natural reaction after a bath, or perhaps she was truly blushing with embarrassment. Her fragrant face was half-open, delicate and charming; in the courtyard, a beautiful woman emerged from her bath, freshly made up.

She glanced at Xu Qi, who was sitting blankly on the bed, tightened her thin nightgown, and whispered reproachfully.

"Don't just stare... you idiot..."

87. What should I do if my girlfriend turns into a fox?

If we don't just look, then what else is there to do?

Xu Qi was completely stunned by the beautiful scenery before him. Although he had said that Ying should pay more attention to dressing herself up, he never thought that... Sister Ying could have such a beautiful moment.

Do we need to persuade them again?

Xu Qi thought it was better to wait...

Although Xu Qi often says that he is not an animal controlled by his lower body, in this situation... he had no other thoughts left but an endless, spreading desire.

Driven by desires? Or rather, driven by Sister Sakura...

Xu Qi didn't know when he stood up or when he hugged Ying's body.

They embraced and tentatively kissed each other.

Xu Qi reached out and touched it. The thin gauze didn't even need to be untied, nor did Xu Qi need to go under the hem of the garment. He only needed to gently pull it down...

The originally pleasant cherry blossom scent of her body gradually changed. What was it? Xu Qi couldn't smell it, but she felt that it had a kind of alluring quality.

fox……

He subconsciously formed this impression in his mind.

Even though Ying didn't act like a fox in any way, Xu Qi still got that impression.

After some pushing and shoving, Xu Qi had already pinned Ying to the bed.

The two who had been kissing had separated, and Xu Qi continued downwards... occasionally lingering on the neck, leaving several red marks on the most delicate skin. They seemed to have forgotten the fact that they had to get up and meet people the next morning.

Is it just about the fleeting pleasure? Or perhaps just about indulging in this moment? Their reason seems to have almost vanished at this juncture, at this point where they both know perfectly well where things are headed.

This process is captivating, not only for Xu Qi, but even more so for Ying.
