Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 180 Zhang Wei in Silence

"Little Bu, Little Bu..."

Xiaoli's soft call brought Ziqiao back to reality from his world of imagination, and a rare look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Follow your heart..."

Ziqiao murmured softly.

"What are you talking about?" Xiaoli was getting more and more confused. "Xiaobu, you're getting weirder and weirder."

Xiaoli looked suspiciously at Yifei, who had selected a large pile of pet supplies. It seemed that ever since this woman arrived, Xiaobu had started acting strangely.

Moreover, the woman was talking so loudly on the phone, as if she was deliberately talking to someone else.

has a problem!

There's definitely something wrong here!

Ziqiao forced a stiff smile. After his own wild thoughts, he couldn't even maintain the most basic facade.

"I'm fine, I'm probably just a little low blood sugar."

Xiaoli nodded suspiciously. She knew that even if she asked Xiaobu and that woman directly, they would deny it just like before.

It's better to wait and see.

Ziqiao let out a long breath and casually continued chatting with Xiaoli.

He thought about the legitimate reason he had just made up. Although the second reason had a low success rate, it was still better than doing nothing.

What if, just maybe, perhaps, possibly... Meijia will believe it?

That's settled then. I'll call the all-knowing Xiao Hei later and ask if he can get a Lu Bu cosplay outfit.

Ziqiao decided to cut to the chase and skip lunch. He left his contact information with Xiaoli and immediately went to find Xiaohei for help.

As a result, Yifei started rambling on into the Bluetooth headset again.

"No, you can't make up such an outrageous reason for him."

"Time travel? If he could time travel, I'd be Dongfang Bubai!"

Yifei paused for a moment, then continued, "And Meijia has thought of all of these things you mentioned."

"Like time travel, mythology, Inhumans, the Main God Space, X-Men, The Truman Show..."

"In short, as long as Lu Ziqiao dares to mention supernatural power in front of Meijia, she will send Ziqiao to hell without saying a word."

"Let Ziqiao try to pass the civil service exam or something so he can protect us in the future."

Yifei looked at Ziqiao teasingly: "I think Meijia's idea is very good."

"Since there are supernatural powers, there must be a cycle of life and death, right?"

"First, send an experienced person who has been in contact with supernatural forces to the underworld to be our vanguard."

"He's taking the civil service exam down here, while we're on the ground with plenty of candles and gold ingots, and we can even burn incense and offer beautiful women as gifts."

"In short, the more you burn what you want, the better life down here is than being penniless on the ground, isn't it?"

Ziqiao was stunned. After hearing what Yifei said, it seemed that life down there was indeed much better than life on the surface.

What a load of rubbish!!!

I almost got tricked by Hu Yifei.

Life is so good down there, why don't you, Hu Yifei and Chen Meijia, go?

I guarantee I'll burn eighteen hunky men to serve you every day!

[That's strange, Chen Meijia even thought of such an outrageous idea beforehand.]

Is this thing a tapeworm in my stomach?

[And it's one thing if Mika could think of that, but how could Yu Mo have thought of it too?]

Is my creativity really that mediocre?

Ziqiao was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

This won't work, that won't work, so tell me a valid reason that works.

As long as you can say it and I can do it, I'll do it no matter how outrageous it is!

"If you ask me, he should just honestly spend money to avoid disaster, cut off some flesh and bleed a little to buy a bunch of pet supplies, and then tell Meijia that he went to buy things for braised pork knuckle."

"You tell me, my reason is legitimate enough, isn't it?"

Ziqiao couldn't help but nod upon hearing this.

That's a fucking perfectly valid reason!

This legitimate reason is indeed much more reliable than his previous nonsense, and it has a major advantage.

Even though Meijia still didn't believe her own lies, she would be more lenient with herself for buying so many things for the braised pork knuckle.

That's a near-perfect legitimate reason... if I weren't broke.

Good heavens.

These days, dog supplies are more expensive than human supplies. That's why some people live worse than a dog.

I don't have a job and I don't have much money, especially since I just bought some pretty clothes for Xiaoli and Xiaolan.

Where did he get the money to buy things for the braised pork knuckle?

Because he was poor, Ziqiao originally planned to try to squeeze some money out of Zeng Xiaoxian by designing his hairstyle.

Ziqiao couldn't help but frown.

"How about it? My legitimate reason is pretty good, isn't it?"

Yifei smiled and pointed to a pile of pet supplies on the ground: "I've picked out everything for you."

Zi Qiao was stunned. If someone as cunning and treacherous as him still couldn't figure out what was going on, then he was really looking down on Zi Qiao.

Ignoring Xiaoli's presence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hu Yifei, are you playing me?"

So it turns out you and Mika were trying to blackmail me!

Ziqiao finally understood, but even though he understood, there was nothing he could do about it.

As Lu Xun said, "The Chinese temperament is always inclined to compromise and moderation."

"For example, if you say that this room is too dark and we need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it."

"But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to mediate and agree to open windows."

This is the situation Ziqiao is in now.

If Yifei and Meijia directly told Ziqiao to spend money to avoid trouble, he definitely wouldn't allow it.

But if Yifei first makes some alarmist remarks about skinning someone alive, tearing them apart, or crushing their bones to dust, and then guides Ziqiao to think about legitimate reasons.

Finally, he rejected all of Ziqiao's unreliable ideas and made it clear that there was only one way for him to reconcile with Meijia.

So Ziqiao had no choice but to agree.

After all, that's Mika.

Although he hadn't figured out how to "follow your heart" yet, he had figured out that Mika was Mika.

She wasn't the most special one, but she was definitely one of a kind.

"I wasn't messing with you, this was the only way I could think of."

Even though Yifei learned from Meijia through the Bluetooth earpiece that Ziqiao had most likely seen through their plan, the charade still had to be played out.

This is the self-cultivation of an actor.

Yifei pointed to a pile of pet supplies on the ground, such as dog kennels, dog cages, food bowls, combs and other miscellaneous items.

"I've picked out everything for you. Would you like to pay in cash, via WeChat, Alipay, or by credit card?"

Ziqiao glanced at the prices and nearly fainted: "Big sister, you only buy the expensive stuff?!"

"Doesn't this show how generous you are? If Mika sees how generous you are, she definitely won't be angry with you."

He quickly calculated the value of the pile of things on the ground and knew he couldn't afford it.

Ziqiao sighed, "I don't have the money, I can't afford it, goodbye."

"No, if you don't have the money, do you need to borrow it?"

"Nine out, thirteen back, how about you consider it?" Yifei said with a greedy smile, arms crossed.

Ziqiao was startled: "Damn, you're involved in loan sharking?"

"You two..."

Xiao Li's cold voice rang out as she looked at Zi Qiao and Yi Fei expressionlessly.

"Shouldn't you explain to me what's going on?"

Damn, I completely forgot about you.

Just as Ziqiao was thinking about how to explain to Xiaoli, he heard a familiar voice call out.

"Lu Ziqiao!"

Zhang Weitong, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, yelled, "I'm going to kill you!!!"

"Viagra! Calm down, Viagra!"

Ziqiao tried to run away, but Zhang Wei had already pinned him down.

"Yifei, stop them!"

Nanfeng, who had rushed as fast as he could but was still a step behind the furious Zhang Wei, shouted to Yifei.

……

"Zhang Wei, you really went all out."

Ziqiao rubbed the bruise on his left cheek with a peeled hard-boiled egg, wincing in pain.

I never expected that the boiled egg I brought to the mall was not only for eating, but also for use here. I don't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.

At this moment, Zhang Wei stared blankly at the empty shop entrance, his eyes vacant.

Hearing Ziqiao's complaint, he glared at Ziqiao fiercely: "Lu Ziqiao, how dare you say that!"

"I'm being lenient by hitting you. You know you shouldn't covet your friend's wife!"

"If it weren't for the awful thing you did, would Xiaoli have abandoned me and left after finding out the truth?"

"I swear to God, Viagra."

Ziqiao quickly raised three fingers to swear an oath: "Lord Guan, I really didn't know beforehand that this giant pendulum was the girl you liked."

"Heaven, earth, man, and gods bear witness that if I deliberately steal your thunder, may I never have any romantic encounters in my life."

Seeing that Ziqiao had even made such a vicious oath, Zhang Wei had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Xiaoli is angry with me now, what am I supposed to do?" Zhang Wei said aggrievedly.

He had finally managed to get back on track with Xiaoli, but Ziqiao ruined it all while he was in the bathroom.

Ziqiao, however, seemed unconvinced: "Zhang Wei, let me offer you a word of advice."

"If you're just playing around with that giant swing ride, that's fine. But if you're looking for a relationship or even marriage, then you should probably forget about it."

"What does 'giant pendulum swing' mean?" Nanfeng asked curiously.

"It's about being indecisive, wanting what you like but not wanting to miss out on what's suitable."

"My mind is constantly racing with thoughts, and I don't know when I'll finally figure it out."

Ziqiao sneered.

Zhang Wei shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Xiao Li is not the kind of person you're talking about!"

Ziqiao pointed to his right cheek, which wasn't swollen yet: "Zhang Wei, either tell me to shut up, or punch me in the face again."

"Because you definitely don't want to hear what I'm about to say, it's better for you to punch me first than for me to be interrupted halfway through my sentence."

Zhang Wei was no longer as angry as before. He snorted and said awkwardly, "Just say it. I'm a law student, a civilized person. How can I hit someone over a few words?"

"But you, who would turn the other cheek after being slapped on the left?"

Zhang Wei rummaged around his body and pulled out a bottle of safflower oil from some pocket, handing it to Zi Qiao.

"Don't you people have any common sense? Cold boiled eggs don't help reduce swelling or bruising."

Use this.

"Having this bottle of safflower oil means my reminder wasn't in vain," Ziqiao said with a smile as he took the oil.

"I'm not trying to show off, but you two made plans to have lunch together, right?"

"Do you know what she called you just now? She said you were her best friend..."

"Zhang Wei, you've been chasing this girl for ages, not just to be her bridesmaid, were you?"

"How could that be!" Zhang Wei replied without even thinking.

He instinctively wanted to refute Xiaoli, saying she wasn't that kind of person, but he also didn't think Ziqiao would lie about this at this time or on this matter.

Caught in a dilemma, Zhang Wei could only remain silent.

"Besides, I never talk to girls who have boyfriends, but I went and talked to Xiaoli. Why do you think I did that?"

Before Zhang Wei could reply, Zi Qiao continued, "Because I see absolutely no trace of being in love on her; on the contrary, I see quite a few traces of heartbreak."

Are you sure she doesn't have someone she likes?

Zhang Wei remained silent.

"There's one more thing," Ziqiao added, "If a girl likes you, she would never do something like chatting and flirting with other guys while waiting for you."

"Think it over carefully, Zhang Wei."

Ziqiao gently patted Zhang Wei, who was as silent as a stone statue.

I'm coming
