Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 259 Guan Gu and Youyou's Imminent Two-Person World

"Okay, Teacher Zeng, we'll head back right away."

At the entrance of the escape room, Meijia hung up Zeng Xiaoxian's phone.

She and Curry Sauce whispered and discussed for a long time before finally walking hand in hand to Guan Gu and Youyou.

Guan Gu had been waiting for a long time, and the gossipy Youyou had been peeking at Meijia and Curry Sauce for a long time.

Seeing the two of them return, Youyou's curiosity was immediately piqued: "Meijia, what did Teacher Zeng say on the phone?"

Meijia honestly said, "Teacher Zeng said today is Nanfeng's birthday, but he and Sister Yifei have been too busy lately and forgot about it until just now."

"Nanfeng's birthday? Today?"

Guan Gu adjusted his glasses in surprise: "But we didn't know that before."

"That's normal. Nanfeng isn't like Ziqiao, who wants to shout and make a big fuss about his birthday half a month in advance so everyone can know."

Meijia pouted and said, "Last time it was his birthday, he even thought of what birthday presents each of us should give him. He's so shameless."

Upon hearing this, Youyou also sighed with regret for the family's misfortune.

Guan Gu then asked, "Did Teacher Zeng call to remind us to prepare a birthday present for Nanfeng?"

Meijia explained, "No, Teacher Zeng called to remind us that it would be best to go back for dinner tonight, and we can all get together to have a birthday party to celebrate Nanfeng's birthday."

"Also, if we have time, it would be best if we went back to help with the birthday party arrangements."

"Because Yifei, Yumo, and Zhanbo are all at work, Wanyu also went to Zhanbo's company to pretend to be Zhanbo's fake girlfriend, and Lu Ziqiao..."

We've all gotten used to this jerk disappearing from time to time.

"Did Wanyu go and pretend to be Zhanbo's fake girlfriend?"

Youyou's gossip radar went off like crazy, and she quickly asked, "What's going on between Zhanbo and Wanyu?"

"Youyou, you can ask about Zhanbo and Wanyu when you get back tonight. Let's talk about serious matters now."

Meijia helplessly shrugged: "Anyway, Nanfeng isn't home right now, and Teacher Zeng is the only one in the entire apartment."

"With his single-threaded CPU and weak physical strength, he definitely can't handle it. He really needs our help."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back quickly," the enthusiastic Guan Gu said hastily.

Meijia and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance, and Curry Sauce quickly advised, "Guan Gu, I think you don't need to go back. It would be nice if you stayed here this afternoon and played some escape room games."

Nanfeng's birthday is important, but Guangu's matter can't be delayed any longer.

Although he was still incredibly excited today, his dark circles were visibly more pronounced than yesterday.

If Guan Gu is made to rush back today, they can't very well ask him out again tomorrow, can they?

In that case, not only Guan Gu, but even Zhan Bo would notice something was wrong.

Besides, once Guan Gu discovers something is amiss, given his reasoning abilities, who knows what bizarre and outrageous "truth" he'll deduce.

So after thinking it over, Mika and Curry Sauce decided to let Guan Gu have some fun and relax.

"What?!"

Guan Gu was shocked to hear this: "Didn't I come here to play with you guys?"

"Why are you all going back now, leaving me here all alone?"

Youyou looked at Guangu, squinted, and asked suspiciously, "Guanu, you seem very scared?"

Guan Gu's expression of fear froze for a moment, then he put one hand on his hip, coughed lightly a few times, and put on a calm and composed demeanor.

No, I'm just surprised.

"After all, if the three of you leave, what can I do here?"

"You're not planning to abandon me, are you?"

"No, how could that be..." Mika and Curry Sauce said in unison.

Guan Gu asked curiously, "Then why won't you let me go back?"

"We, we..."

Meijia stammered for a long time before finally grabbing Youyou and holding her in front of her.

"We're actually here to keep Youyou company; she really loves playing escape rooms."

Youyou pointed to herself, looking confused: "Me?"

"Yes, it's you!"

Meijia nodded emphatically and said with a determined look.

Then she whispered in Youyou's ear, "Darling, you're an excellent actress. Now's the time to prove your acting skills."

"Work with me to win over Guan Gu, and the Oscar for Love Apartment is yours!"

Upon hearing this, Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up.

What she loves most is acting together.

"That's right, it's me."

She instantly switched into performance mode and started sobbing: "Actually, I've loved playing escape rooms since I was three years old, but I wasn't popular when I was little, and everyone ostracized me and didn't want to play with me."

"Later, I was busy filming and didn't have time to go to an escape room with my friends. Now I'm about to have my wish fulfilled."

Guan Gu's mouth dropped open in astonishment: "When you were three years old... there were escape rooms in Sichuan?"

Curry Sauce couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Sister Youyou's acting skills are definitely beyond question, but her habit of adding unnecessary scenes is too fatal.

"Guan Gu, you don't understand. Chinese history is long, profound and extensive."

Meijia, mimicking how Ziqiao had tricked Guan Gu, said, "It is said that the earliest and largest escape room in Chinese history occurred during the Three Kingdoms period."

"What?!?!"

This time, not only Guan Gu, but also Youyou and Curry Sauce were dumbfounded and speechless.

[I thought I/Youyou was already pretty outrageous, but I never expected there's always someone stronger, and there's always someone better.]

【Mika, you're amazing!】

"Don't interrupt me, let me continue."

Meijia waved her hand and continued her fabricated story with great conviction: "At that time, Ma Su lost Jieting, and Zhuge Liang had neither elite troops nor strong generals, only a hundred or so old soldiers."

"So he designed the entire empty city into a huge, terrifying escape room scenario, and had the hundred or so old soldiers disguise themselves as zombies and vengeful ghosts, these terrifying NPCs."

When Sima Yi's army arrived, Zhuge Liang opened the city gates and sat alone on the city wall, playing a terrifying background music.

"This enormous and terrifying escape room scene terrified Sima Yi's army so much that they dared not take a single step forward."

"The vanguard became the rearguard, and the rearguard became the vanguard; hundreds of thousands of troops turned around and retreated."

"To commemorate the great historical moment when Prime Minister Zhuge Liang scared away thousands of troops with an empty city, the people of Sichuan have loved playing escape room games since ancient times."

Guan Gu fell silent.

"Yoyo, Curry... Is what Mika said true?"

Youyou and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance and nodded, both painful and resolute.

"Wow... The Chinese really know how to have fun."

Guan Gu nodded thoughtfully.

Although the Japanese also love the history of the Three Kingdoms, and the history they knew before was completely unrelated to what Mika was saying now.

But why would Meijia, Youyou, and Curry Sauce team up to fool themselves?

Guan Gu felt that he was not yet at the level of cultural literacy to discuss Chinese history with Chinese people, so he just scratched his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be a pity for Youyou to go back like this today?"

"yes."

Curry Sauce let out a long, feigned sigh of regret, while Youyou continued to sob.

At this moment, Meijia's expression was exactly the same as Lu Ziqiao's when he was trying to fool people.

"Youyou really loves playing escape rooms, but she's too scared to go alone. We two girls also have limited courage, so that's why we asked you to come."

Meijia patted Guangu on the shoulder and entrusted him with an important task.

"We just thought about it, and since Curry Sauce and I have limited courage, and Guan Gu, your ability to help set up the birthday party is also limited."

"Why don't you stay here and play escape room games with Youyou? After you're done, you can go shopping and see if there's anything you can buy for Nanfeng as a birthday present."

"Just the two of us, Youyou and I, alone?!"

Guan Gu scratched his head, looking troubled. "This isn't a good idea."

[In his inner world, Guan Gu was still scratching his head with a troubled expression.]

[If it were just Youyou and me playing an escape room game...]

This is absolutely fantastic!

[Sekiya jumped up excitedly: よかった! (Very good!)】

Nanfeng, Teacher Zeng, I love you both!

【Mika, Curry Sauce, I love you guys to death!】

"What's wrong with that?"

In her haste to get back, Mika obviously didn't notice the barely suppressed smile on Guan Gu's lips. She put her hands on her hips and said in a very assertive manner.

"Even Youyou didn't think it was a problem, but you, a grown man, are acting all coy."

Curry Sauce nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right."

"Besides, Guan Gu, you're the most reliable man in Love Apartment."

"If even you can't handle it, then you can't expect Brother Ziqiao to bring his aunt to participate in the escape room activity."

Even at this moment, Meijia didn't forget to tease Ziqiao: "He'll probably be so scared that he'll hide in his aunt's arms."

"If that's what you're saying, then it's true..."

Guan Gu proudly puffed out his chest, his joy turning into pride and smugness on his face.

"Our Guan Gu family only has brave and fearless warriors; we have never had cowards or wimps!"

"Mr. Samurai, I'm entrusting Yuyu to you."

Meijia pushed Youyou in front of Guangu: "Guangu, you two must have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselves to the fullest."

"Okay!" Guan Gu nodded excitedly.

The moment to prove my masculine charm has finally arrived!

Meijia gave Youyou a knowing look, like sisters would understand each other.

【Yoyo, I'm entrusting Guangu to you!】

Make sure Guan Gu has a great time and enjoys himself to the fullest.

Remember that you are an actor, the best actor!

Youyou nodded solemnly and silently gave Youyou an OK sign.

Don't worry, leave this task to me, the excellent actor.
