Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 132 A Tale of the Past

Nanfeng and Yumo looked at each other silently. Generally speaking, in this situation, the one who speaks first is usually the more proactive one.

However, Nanfeng couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Let me help you move your things inside first."

It's not that he was more proactive than Yu Mo, but rather that Yu Mo had reached a different level of proactivity.

Yu Mo changed her usual bright and elegant style. Today, she wore a light green suit jacket, paired with a white sweater and high-waisted black denim shorts. She wore sheer tights and knee-high boots, making her look like a young woman who had just entered the workforce.

Judging from her outfit, if Nanfeng hadn't seen her carrying her luggage, he would have really thought Yu Mo was going fishing at the bar.

But then I thought, who says fishing has to be done in a bar?

It's the older sister who has the experience.

"I thought you'd ask me first why I moved from home to 3604." Yu Mo winked playfully at Nan Feng.

Nanfeng replied nonchalantly, "Everyone else would have asked this question even if I didn't ask it, so you won't have to explain it twice later."

Why did they move 3604 here?

I wouldn't ask a question that's so obviously riddled with pitfalls.

Besides, since we've already moved here, does the reason even matter?

Yu Mo nodded with a hint of disappointment: "Alright, then I'll trouble you, little brother Nanfeng, to help your sister carry her luggage. Don't worry, I'll treat you to a big meal."

"Okay, as long as you're not worried about me eating you out of house and home."

Nanfeng agreed without hesitation. Since she had already moved in, there would be plenty of days when they could eat at the same table together. Running away all the time wasn't a solution.

Nanfeng stepped forward and gestured for Yumo to help carry the box onto his right shoulder: "Should we just put these things in the living room, or should I help you sort and put them away?"

Yu Mo picked out two lighter cardboard boxes and slung them over Nan Feng's shoulders: "I've already put away the commonly used daily necessities. We can just put these in the living room and unpack and arrange them slowly when I have time."

Nanfeng nodded and silently carried the boxes inside. Yumo also struggled to lift two heavier cardboard boxes and followed closely behind Nanfeng.

The two of them made seven or eight trips back and forth before they finally managed to finish moving everything.

Nanfeng sat on the sofa and looked around the living room of 3604. The decoration of each floor of the apartment was exactly the same, but the decoration style and main color scheme of the four suites on each floor were different.

For example, 3601 is bright blue, 3602 is dark brown, 3603 is black and white, and 3604 is cyan.

Because 3604 has been uninhabited for many years, even the most vibrant green color looks somewhat lifeless. But with the arrival of a beautiful sub-landlord, everything will surely be different.

Nanfeng looked thoughtfully at Yumo's clothes. It seemed that her older sister's outfit today wasn't just for fishing.

"Have a glass of water."

Yu Mo came out of the kitchen and handed Nan Feng a glass of water.

Having been tricked twice before, Nanfeng took the water glass and subconsciously looked down at it.

Yes, it looks like it was just boiled.

Yu Mo said apologetically, "We haven't bought any drinks yet, and we haven't gotten the water dispenser working properly either. Right now, we only have boiled water to drink."

"Anyway, the weather is so cold now, the water won't be too hot if we wait a while."

"Knowing it's so cold, you're still dressed so... thinly," Nanfeng muttered under her breath.

Yu Mo looked down at herself: "My coat is lined with fleece, and my sweater is quite thick too."

The south wind blew the boiling water in the cup without replying.

"Oh..." Yu Mo tugged at her bare-leg tights and moved her legs closer to Nan Feng. "The jeans are lined with fleece, and bare-leg tights are super warm in winter. If you like them, I'll buy you a few pairs."

Nanfeng was so shocked by Yu Mo's words that he almost spilled the water in his cup: "What would a grown man like me need leg warmers for?"

"Boys can wear 'bare leg' tights too. You can wear them inside your pants. They're not only warm and show off your leg shape, but no one can see them either," Yu Mo teased, meeting Nan Feng's gaze.

Nanfeng unconsciously avoided Yumo's gaze: "I still prefer traditional warm clothing like thermal underwear."

"I didn't expect him to be such a traditional old-fashioned person." Yu Mo sighed, resting his chin on his hand. "He was so avant-garde and open-minded just the night before."

"Do you nowadays like to speak so ambiguously, leaving room for interpretation?"

Nanfeng's lips twitched, but she finally put down the water glass in her hand.

If he doesn't let go of this soon, he'll eventually spill the whole glass of water because of Yu Mo's shocking words.

well.

Yu Mo was quite pleased to see Nan Feng looking somewhat flustered by her words, and she even relaxed her hands that had been nervously tugging at the hem of her clothes.

After all, if he didn't panic, he would really be in a panic.

Don't be fooled by Yu Mo's earlier initiative in getting Nan Feng to ask her why she moved to Love Apartment. If Nan Feng had actually asked that question, she would have had to compete with Guan Yu to see who blushed more.

She has such a big house at home, but she came to Love Apartment and rented a suite all by herself. Does she really think her skin is as thick as a copper wall?

If we were to rank the absurdities of Yu Mo's life in order of their severity, this incident would definitely be in the top two.

Firstly, I must have been out of my mind to run away with a complete stranger and ask him to take me away.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, her heart jumped the moment Nanfeng asked, "Do you need any help?"

Throughout the entire process of moving things, Yu Mo was conflicted.

She hoped that Nanfeng would ask some of the questions she was looking forward to, but she also felt very shy about having Yumo answer them.

Strictly speaking, they've only known each other for less than ten days, and my current behavior is already considered too proactive.

After much deliberation, between her own shyness and looking at Nanfeng with shyness, she chose the latter.

And watching him act so helplessly is really hilarious.

Yu Mo smiled gently.

Anyway, Nanfeng is still very young, and I'm not that old either, so there's no need to rush.

Since we've already moved here ourselves, our main strategy is to take it slow and steady, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

After all, they have plenty of time.

As Nanfeng listened to Yu Mo's heartbeat gradually calming down, she silently picked up her water glass and took a sip of the hot water that was now barely drinkable.

Nanfeng's lips curved into a smile, revealing a hint of doting affection. However, a steaming cup of water separated this smile from Yu Mo's gaze.

As mentioned before, the best thing about someone like Nanfeng, who can hear everything, is to shut up...

And pretending to be confused.

A woman who is outwardly flirtatious but inwardly panicked is quite interesting.

in case.

Never mind, there are no "what ifs".

The smile on Nanfeng's face flashed by, but it disappeared as soon as he put down his water glass, and he resumed his previous warm but polite attitude.

"Give me some suggestions," Yu Mo said, pointing to the living room. "I think your suite's living room is quite interestingly decorated. How should I decorate mine?"

Nanfeng had already carefully examined the living room of 3604 and had a plan in mind: "The main color scheme of light green, paired with a white sofa or natural wood decorations, should look very nice. It would be even better if some green plants were added as embellishments."

"Of course, you should make sure the green plants don't get too close to this green wall and are placed elsewhere, otherwise the plants will look less distinct."

Nanfeng then added, "Actually, I don't know much about color matching either. You can ask Guan Gu and his senior brother later. They are professional painters, and they should be able to give you some professional advice on color matching."

"Guan Gu's senior brother?" Yu Mo asked curiously, "Is Guan Gu's senior brother in our apartment now?"

"Well, I heard they'll be staying here for a few days to help Guan Gu with some comic book publishing matters."

"Okay, I'll ask them for their opinion later."

The two then chatted casually about the decorations for room 3604 until they ran out of what they had to say, and then an eerie silence fell over the room.

The two had spent six nights doing many interesting things during the six nights they knew each other, and even the three days they reunited were filled with many unexpected events, both big and small.

These events and unexpected occurrences constantly sparked ideas and created a chemical reaction between them.

So when the pace of life slowed down, the two of them had a rare period of time alone and quiet. These two people, who were different in age, job, and living environment, didn't know what to talk about for a moment.

In such situations, people often subconsciously start talking about the past.

Yu Mo was no exception.

"I didn't mean to break the contract on the 7th night. It's just that the company arranged for me to go on a business trip that day, and I didn't have your contact information so I couldn't reach you."

"By the time I finished my work and rushed back, you were no longer singing at that bar."

The things that hadn't been explained during the three days of their reunion were finally laid bare by Yu Mo in this moment when the two of them were alone.

Nanfeng nodded without any surprise upon hearing this: "I guessed you had something urgent to do. I was originally planning to tell you in the last few days before I left that I was going to continue my trip, so we could maybe exchange contact information then."

"I waited for several days but you didn't come, and I didn't have much time left, so I left without stopping."

"But you still changed your flight twice." Yu Mo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her gaze fixed intently on Nan Feng. "Why?"

"It's probably because I never thought I would return to Shanghai to live one day, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, we won't see each other again after that parting."

"Although we had a comical encounter, I still wanted to say goodbye properly."

"It's a pity that you never know when tomorrow or an accident will come first. We met because of an accident, and we didn't have time to say goodbye because of an accident. It's actually quite dramatic."

The south wind quietly recounted the past, its tone so calm it was as if it were telling someone else's story.
