Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 12 The Strategist Duo

As expected, Yifei didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea: "What's wrong with it? If you think my Three Waves Mantra is no good, then please show me some real skills."

"After all, he's older than you, and you've been fooling him into calling him Brother Nanfeng for so many years. Now it's your younger brother's life-long affair, so you should at least pay some attention, otherwise you're not being a proper older brother."

"Isn't it a bit too early to talk about marriage? This is just a date..."

However, before Nanfeng could finish speaking, Zhanbo betrayed her, raising both hands in strong support and saying, "I agree, let's do it this way."

He stared at Zhanbo in astonishment, incredulous.

For a moment, he was completely baffled as to what Zhanbo was thinking. How could you agree to such an outrageous plan?

[Zhanbo, with a crestfallen expression, carefully examined the producers Nanfeng and Yifei in front of him.]

I know that having one person control half of the date time will seem schizophrenic, but compared to having my sister handle everything... I'd rather be schizophrenic!

Brother Nanfeng, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you.

Zhanbo hugged Nanfeng tightly, then kicked Hu Yifei away as he did so.

Nanfeng sighed. Since the person involved had said so, he could only nod in agreement.

"It's settled then." Hu Yifei excitedly ran outside. "Zhanbo, you hurry up and call Wanyu to invite her out. I'll go prepare a candlelight dinner."

"A candlelight dinner?" Zhanbo was startled. He reached out to stop Yifei, but his reaction was no match for Hu Yifei's quick and agile movements.

Watching Yifei dash out the door, Zhanbo muttered, "Wasn't a candlelight dinner a bit too obvious?"

Nanfeng looked at Zhanbo with sympathy: "If Wanyu were blind, she wouldn't be able to guess what you're trying to do at first glance."

"Then I'm finished?"

"It's not that exaggerated. If you want to pursue someone, you should let others know. But to invite someone to dinner after only knowing them for a few days, especially a candlelight dinner, gives the impression that you're trying to do everything at once."

Zhanbo scratched his head and exclaimed, "Then I'm finished!"

Nanfeng said there was no solution to this problem: "You know no one can change Yifei's decision in this state. Instead of wailing over there, you should tell me more about what happened between you and Wanyu, and let me see if there is any way to salvage the situation."

As the three of them grew tense and expectant, night quietly fell.

"Test, test, Nanfeng, sis, can you hear me?" Zhanbo asked, covering his invisible earpiece.

The two, who had been waiting on the balcony of 3602 for a long time, had contrasting expressions. Yifei looked solemn, while Nanfeng leaned against the balcony window, pretending to doze off.

"OK, I understand perfectly. Don't worry, with your older sister here, there won't be any problems." Hu Yifei held up the binoculars she had borrowed from Xiao Hei downstairs, looking as nervous as if she were on a spy mission during World War II.

"I didn't ask here... Holy crap, what the hell?!" A cold hand landed on Nanfeng's shoulder, and the already dazed Nanfeng was instantly startled.

Zhanbo covered his ears in pain.

"Are you guys... playing spy house?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked, withdrawing his hand in confusion.

Nanfeng only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zeng Xiaoxian clearly behind her: "Teacher Zeng, why do you walk so quietly?"

"Shh." Zeng Xiaoxian put his index finger to his lips and said in a low voice, "I have something big to tell you."

Hu Yifei also lowered her voice: "Coincidentally, what we need to do now is something big."

"I'm telling you this very seriously now..." Zeng Xiaoxian was very anxious. He wanted to tell the two of them that he had just overheard Meijia possibly cheating on her with the new tenant, but Hu Yifei was far more anxious than him.

She interrupted Zeng Xiaoxian's speech decisively: "I'm telling you this very seriously. What we're doing now is the most important thing of all. Even if you told me the sky was going to fall, it wouldn't be as important as what we're doing now."

With the family's revitalization and her own shameful failure about to be washed away today, she couldn't let herself be influenced by that vile woman.

Zeng Xiaoxian looked towards the south wind.

Nanfeng casually smoothed Teacher Zeng's hair: "Will it affect us if we find out about this later?"

"Uh... I don't think so."

"Would it have affected the situation if we had known about it sooner?"

"Uh... I don't think so."

"In that case, just wait until we've sorted things out here before we talk about it, okay?" Nanfeng continued to stroke Zeng Xiaoxian's hair.

Ever since Nanfeng brought Teacher Zeng's head to see her last time, she has fallen in love with the silky smooth feel of Teacher Zeng's head.

Especially since Teacher Zeng is a germaphobe and pays great attention to personal hygiene, there is no need to worry about your hands getting a strange smell after touching his head.

Therefore, Teacher Zeng's head can be considered the best in the world of head pats.

At least the south wind is satisfied.

"You two... alright, I'll go observe a bit more. When you're done, remember to come near Meijia's bedroom. Also, be sure to keep your voices down."

Although Zeng Xiaoxian was also curious about what Nanfeng and Yifei were up to, it was clear that Meijia's infidelity was more serious, so he could only continue to tiptoe around and try to find out more.

"Sister, Nanfeng, are you all alright over there?" Zhanbo asked anxiously.

With the date fast approaching, the two strategists have suddenly gone missing!

"It's alright, all alert. How about you over there, Zuo Shandiao? Has Little White Rabbit appeared yet?"

Hu Yifei immediately picked up the binoculars and looked around, but she couldn't see the interior scene of 3601 no matter what she did.

Nanfeng was already used to Yifei's occasional lapses in judgment. He simply gripped her shoulders expressionlessly and spun her around 180 degrees.

"Sis, I'm a little nervous right now." Zhanbo shifted his body, like a maggot swaying from side to side, showing that he wasn't just a little nervous as he claimed.

Hu Yifei waved her hand domineeringly: "With me here, I'll slay gods and demons alike! You need to be confident, stand tall, stomach in, head held high."

So, under Yifei's guidance, Zhanbo's entire body turned into a stiff, upright twisted rope.

"I've never tried it before, and I feel uncomfortable all over right now."

Nanfeng comforted him from the side, "Zhanbo, you just need to relax."

Hu Yifei glared at Nanfeng: "Now it's my turn, so don't say a word."

Nanfeng shut up and smiled without saying a word.

"Zhanbo." Wanyu walked out of the room, looking preoccupied.

"Wanyu..." Zhanbo suddenly turned around, his stiff figure and smile startling Wanyu.

Hu Yifei instantly became alert: "Target spotted, Zuo Shandiao, enter Level 1 combat mode. Chest out, stomach in, head up. Nanfeng, start the timer."

"I'm confirming with you one last time, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

South Wind: (ˉ▽ˉ；)……

He had a feeling that tonight's date was going to go terribly wrong.

Then Nanfeng saw what could be described as the most outrageous boast in history.

"Long hair cascading down like a pillar, fair skin, a sweet smile that makes one tremble like a flower in full bloom—this is the kind of description used."

Nanfeng looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too loudly: "Sister Yifei, you'd better watch out tonight, the rain that's about to fall might just be your Chinese teacher's tears."

"This, this is simply because I'm not in the right state of mind tonight."

Yifei was still stubbornly insisting, "It doesn't matter, anyway, tonight's main event is my Three Waves~True Words, watch me deliver a fatal blow. Hehehehehe..."

Yifei laughed smugly, arrogantly, and lewdly: "And then..."

And then, of course, that was it. All her beautiful fantasies were completely shattered by Wanyu's outrageous sheer strength.

The carefully prepared romantic classical music prelude had barely begun when Wan Yu pointed out each point in detail. If Nan Feng hadn't guessed that Zhan Bo probably didn't understand this kind of knowledge, she would have even suspected that she could dissect and discuss the history, ideas, techniques, and music theory of each piece of classical music with Zhan Bo.

Yifei spent a whole afternoon painstakingly collecting cigars and counterfeit US dollars, hoping Zhanbo would emulate the extravagant act of ordering cigars with US dollars like in Hong Kong movies. In the end, the scene turned into a one-sided cigar appreciation class and counterfeit money identification class by Wanyu.

At this point, the romance and wastefulness in the Three Waves Mantra become utterly useless.

"This is outrageous!" Hu Yifei was almost going crazy, like a highly competitive person who had been caught rigging a match in front of her.

"Good heavens, how come she seems to know everything!"

Nanfeng, suppressing a laugh, said, "Is it possible that you just happened to walk right into their line of fire?"

"What do you mean?"

Nanfeng pointed at Wanyu: "Don't you think her jewelry looks a little familiar?"

"I think so, but I can't remember."

"I remember Aunt Gu should have a similar one."

Yifei exclaimed, "That's the ultimate luxury!"

"It might be a hundred million more than the ultra-luxury you imagine." Nanfeng made a gesture of a starry sky with her fingertips.

"Nanfeng..." Hu Yifei suddenly felt her legs go weak. "Help me up."

Although she knew to some extent that a girl with Wanyu's demeanor and eloquence must come from a good family, even if Yifei were to guess a thousand times, she would not dare to speculate in the direction Nanfeng was suggesting.

No one could have imagined that their younger brother would one day bring a girl from such a family background to share a small apartment with him.

In particular, he even came up with some kind of Three Waves Mantra.

A girl like that, how could she lack romance and extravagance from childhood to adulthood?

This is truly a huge embarrassment.

Yifei turned off the walkie-talkie and complained in a low voice, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

She doesn't really care about winning or losing this game... well, actually she cares a lot about winning or losing.

But even for the competitive Hu Yifei, there are some things that are far more important than winning, such as Zhanbo.

If Yifei had known even a little bit about Wanyu's family background beforehand, she wouldn't have encouraged Zhanbo to pursue Wanyu; the class difference between the two was simply too great.

Nanfeng explained, "Initially, it was because Wanyu herself didn't bring it up, so I didn't need to say anything either, to avoid making everyone feel awkward because of the large gap between the rich and the poor."

"Later, it was because Zhanbo seemed to really like Wanyu, and I couldn't just tell you that Wanyu's family might be very rich, that would be like pouring cold water on Zhanbo."

"So what do we do now?" Hu Yifei spread her hands, ready to give up. "We can't just let Zhanbo change his target now, can we?"

"Are you worried that Zhanbo won't be able to catch up with Wanyu?"

"I'm afraid he'll actually catch up with me."

Hu Yifei's eyes never left Zhanbo. Only when her competitive spirit had largely dissipated did the hidden maternal glow finally rise from the depths of her heart to the corners of her eyes.
