Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 255 Youyou Needs Me

"I don't think it's very useful for us to continue discussing how abnormal Guan Gu is now."

Yu Mo said in a deep voice, "Our most urgent task is to think of a way to get Guan Gu back to normal."

"What's so difficult about that?"

Ziqiao crossed his legs and said, "As the saying goes, you have to get up from where you fall down."

"Since Guan Gu was upset because of Xiao Wan, let's help him find a new date."

"It's no use. When we apologized to Guan Gu, we already said we would help him find an ideal date, but he refused outright." Curry Sauce sighed.

Meijia said confidently, "Guan Gu is probably traumatized by Xiao Wan. He can't possibly jump into a new relationship so quickly."

Ziqiao chuckled dismissively: "Is it possible that Guangu doesn't not want to be in a relationship, but simply doesn't trust you two lousy matchmakers?"

He stood up and straightened his suit: "If I, Lu Xiaobu, the White Dragon of the Waves, were to personally take charge, everything would be completely different."

Yu Mo reminded him, "You've already lost the title of 'Little White Dragon in the Waves' to your senior brother."

Ziqiao paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright, I have many other titles, such as..."

"Despicable and lewd young man, shameless bastard, womanizing scumbag, rotten orange, and... weak and short-tempered wax spearhead!" Meijia counted Ziqiao's derogatory nicknames on her fingers.

"Rumors! Slander!" Ziqiao exclaimed angrily. "The last one is pure fabrication!"

Everyone fell silent. So you accepted everything that came before, right?

Youyou kicked Ziqiao: "Alright, stop fooling around here and get down to business."

"Actually, it's very simple to get Guan Gu back to normal. Meijia and Curry Sauce, those two rookie matchmakers, are unreliable, but I'm different."

"As long as Guan Gu is willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee I'll make sure he's completely obedient."

"The first stop was to go for a full-service massage, spending money to have a beautiful female masseuse soothe his physical and mental health."

"Then came the bar pickup training. We spent money to hire a group of beautiful female extras to accompany Guan Gu in picking up girls, boosting his confidence. Then, I, a master of romance, corrected his mistakes step by step."

"Finally, of course, we'll let Guan Gu go out and gallop like a dragon. At that point, he'll probably forget who he is, let alone Xiao Wan."

"Hehehehe..."

Ziqiao let out a hearty laugh.

"This isn't about helping Guan Gu get back to normal, it's totally a scumbag training program!" Mei Jia exclaimed.

Yu Mo looked at Zi Qiao with dissatisfaction: "Zi Qiao, there can only be one scumbag in our apartment at most. You should just let Guan Gu go."

Curry Sauce, unusually quick-witted, said, "Brother Ziqiao, you just want to find a sucker to go on a wild party with you and foot the bill, right?"

Ziqiao curled his lip: "What do you mean by 'being a sucker'? This is called mutual benefit, mutual wingmanship, mutual..."

"What mutual? If you dare to corrupt Guan Gu, we will definitely cut ties with you!" Mei Jia issued a serious warning to Zi Qiao.

It's one thing if your ex-boyfriend is a jerk, but if your boss is also a jerk, then you really can't live like this.

Youyou nodded and said, "Can't you come up with some normal ideas?"

"Normal people only have two ideas: either introduce Guan Gu to a decent girl, or take Guan Gu out to eat, drink, and have fun. It's practically devoid of any skill, and it's not even guaranteed to work."

Ziqiao muttered, "I think my method from earlier was simpler, more direct, and more effective."

After all, the famous scholar Lu Xun once said that there is no problem that a full-service massage cannot solve.

If so, then let's try again.

"I think it's better to have a normal person's idea," Yu Mo said.

Ignoring Ziqiao's second half of his sentence, the group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, deciding to adopt the normal approach.

Meijia said, "The first method is definitely not going to work. I've been trying to persuade Guan Gu for the past few days, but he still doesn't want to find another date."

"It seems we have no choice but to try the second method."

However, Guan Gu isn't curry sauce, so eating and drinking well probably won't have any effect on him.

Not to mention that in order to celebrate Youyou's move, everyone went to Xiao Nan Guo for a meal, but still didn't see any change in Guangu.

So all we can do is let Guan Gu go out and have some fun to relax.

So everyone looked at Curry Sauce and asked her if she knew anything fun nearby.

As part-time job experts, Curry Sauce and Wanyu have almost explored the entire neighborhood. If you ask them what good food or fun things to do near the apartment, they'll give you the answer.

Curry Sauce thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go out and have fun, there's a newly opened escape room nearby. Wanyu and I worked part-time as NPCs for a while."

"It seems really fun, and the reviews are good."

"Furthermore, you can get a 30% discount if you go now, and couples get an even bigger 50% discount. You can also receive an extra small gift for couples after completing the game."

"Escape room?"

The timid Mika asked timidly, "Is it scary?"

"Whether it's scary or not depends on the scripts we choose. Actually, Wanyu and I don't think it's that scary. We just don't know why those guests were screaming so loudly."

As an NPC, Curry Sauce clearly hadn't considered the difference between the NPC's perspective and the customer's perspective, she patted her chest and said.

"Besides, with a tall man like Guan Gu around, how scary can it really be?"

"That's true. Guangu always says he's fearless and much stronger than Ziqiao," Meijia muttered.

It's shameful that Lu Ziqiao, a grown man, is afraid of mice.

"Hey, why are you dragging me into this again?"

Ziqiao protested, but everyone ignored him once again.

Meijia clapped her hands and said, "If there's nothing else fun to do, then we'll take Guangu to play in an escape room tomorrow afternoon."

"Raise your hand if you want to go."

After Mika finished speaking, she raised her hand first.

As Guan Gu's personal assistant and the one who personally arranged Xiao Wan's date, she has a responsibility to stand up.

Next to raise their hands was the curry sauce.

Yu Mo sighed regretfully, "Actually, I really want to go, but unfortunately I have to go to work tomorrow."

Having just settled in Shanghai and not yet received any acting offers, Youyou raised her hand: "Count me in! Count me in!"

Aside from acting, Youyou didn't have many other hobbies in her life; she just liked gossiping and joining in the fun.

The women looked at Ziqiao, who pouted and said, "I'm not going. I've been incredibly busy these past few days."

In the end, Guan Gu's matter wasn't a big deal, and Zi Qiao didn't think he would continue to be a pervert because of a man he had only known for less than half a day.

Moreover, now that Meijia, Curry Sauce, and Youyou have gone with Guangu, Ziqiao doesn't see the need for him to help with this matter.

"Yeah, you're really busy to death, you're practically dying of pleasure."

Meijia sighed and said, "Young Master Lü has really been working day and night lately. Isn't he afraid of becoming a weak and short-tempered old man?"

She also emphasized the pronunciation of the word "gan" (干).

Ziqiao was not ashamed at Meijia's mockery; instead, he said smugly.

"You don't understand. It's a loss for all the other beautiful women in the world that a man as outstanding as me is only possessed by one beautiful woman."

"I do this simply to spread my light and warmth to all the big-breasted, brainless beauties in the world. I guess this is what they call sacrificing the small self for the greater good."

He straightened his collar again: "Now that Guan Gu's matter is more or less settled, I should head out, since I have an appointment tonight."

Faced with the women's disdain, Ziqiao waved his hand dismissively and turned to leave.

I can't stay in the bar any longer. Otherwise, if Guan Gu comes out of the restroom and pesters me with a bunch of questions, should I answer them or not?

Not long after Ziqiao left the bar, Guangu also came out of the restroom.

Today, Guan Gu was wearing a flashy suit, which was unusual for him. His trendy hairstyle and faint men's cologne added to his charm. However, he was indeed quite different from the Guan Gu of the past.

No wonder Mika described him as a flamboyant peacock.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Guan Gu said, looking quite energetic.

However, no matter how energetic he looked, he couldn't hide the heavy dark circles under his eyes.

This is why Meijia and Curry Sauce were so eager to invite everyone to come up with a solution.

He's already got such dark circles under his eyes after just a few days of this. If Guan Gu continues to be so energetic and restless during the day, but then can't sleep at night, his health will eventually break down.

Guan Gu looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Zi Qiao? Why did he leave right after sitting down?"

"I still have many questions I want to ask him."

Yu Mo smiled at Guangu and said, "Zi Qiao went on a date. If you have any questions, you can ask Youyou, it should be the same."

"Yes, yes," Youyou patted her chest and assured me, "I know everything about Ziqiao, you can't go wrong asking me."

"Never mind, I'll wait for Ziqiao to come back."

Guan Gu waved his hands repeatedly, barely daring to look Youyou in the eye.

Ask Youyou?

He asked Ziqiao in such a roundabout way because he was too embarrassed to ask Youyou directly.

In order to find out some information about Youyou, and fearing that Ziqiao would find out that he was eyeing his aunt, Guangu went to great lengths.

He dissected his true intentions, scattered them among various seemingly unrelated questions, and then tried to piece together the answer he wanted.

This is not difficult for Guan Gu.

After all, many famous detectives obtain the truth they want from criminals by asking seemingly insignificant questions.

Guan Gu is bad at reasoning, but that's all he is bad at.

As a detective enthusiast, if Guan Gu really had no skills at all, how could he be so confident in considering himself a famous detective?

When Meijia saw Guangu sit down, her eyes darted around, and she immediately started to act cute and charming towards him.

"Guan Gu, we're going to play an escape room game tomorrow afternoon, do you want to come with us?"

"Escape room?"

After a moment's hesitation, Guan Gu asked the exact same question as Mika had asked earlier: "Is it scary?"

"We don't know if it's scary or not, that's why we need a real man to protect us."

Meijia looked at Guan Gu with her big, watery eyes full of admiration.

"Hahaha, is that so...?"

Guan Gu scratched his head and grinned foolishly, clearly feeling a bit flattered by what Mei Jia had said.

But he still hesitated: "But I still have a drawing I haven't finished..."

"Your artwork is still a long way from the deadline."

Meijia clung to Guangu's arm and said coquettishly, "Guangu, you've been staying home every day these past few days, haven't you? Why don't you come with us for a walk?"

Guan Gu was actually already interested, but...

[In his inner world, Guan Gu stood against a pure white backdrop, glancing around to make sure no one was watching before speaking softly.]

Okay, I'm not as fearless as I told everyone.

Actually, I'm still a tiny bit afraid of scary things.

Guan Gu made a slight gesture with his hand.

However, at that moment, the entire inner world suddenly darkened, and in the darkness and silence, a chilling nursery rhyme slowly began to play.

[Guan Gu was immediately terrified in the darkness, trembling uncontrollably. He crouched down, covered his head, and screamed in panic.]

【Ogasa-san!】

Just as the timid but proud Guan Gu was pondering what reason he should give to refuse Mika's invitation, Youyou said.

"Guan Gu, please come with us. We need you."

Youyou's words immediately made Guan Gu's eyes light up.

[Yoyo...do you need me?]
