Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 280 [Cybertron's Number One Idiot] Video Call

"I know."

Wan Yu rubbed her nose: "But no one says you can't learn to make dumplings in a comedy."

"The premise is that you can't learn the wrong methods, not to mention that using paste and cotton thread to wrap dumplings sounds incredibly unreliable!"

Nanfeng looked at Wanyu with a questioning expression, seriously suspecting that Wanyu was playing him for a fool.

"Wanyu, even if you've never eaten dumplings before, you should at least know how to make them, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Wan Yu looked at Nan Feng in shock: "I've never even eaten dumplings, how could I possibly know how they're made?"

"Uh... making dumplings should be common sense, right?"

Wan Yu helplessly shrugged: "Is it possible that what you consider common sense is something I was completely unaware of before?"

Nanfeng was speechless. Wanyu's world was indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, no matter how much you use paste to glue them together, dumplings threaded with cotton thread are absolutely unacceptable.

Nanfeng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "No matter what, Lady Lin Wanyu, please stop your supernatural powers."

"All right."

Wan Yu pouted and said, "I thought that as long as it's a paste made from rice porridge, it should be fine."

Nanfeng was both amused and exasperated.

Putting aside the glue issue, what should we do with the cotton thread?

Are we really going to make them spit silk like in TV dramas?

"Come on, let's learn how normal people make dumplings."

He took out his phone from his pocket and quickly found a tutorial video on how to make dumplings.

Nanfeng and Wanyu stared at the phone for a long time. When the video ended, they both looked at each other with confidence.

[Eyes: I understand!]

[Brain: I've learned it!]

Nanfeng and Wanyu stood up confidently.

"The first step is to knead the dough."

The confident Nanfeng suddenly stammered, "What's the first step in kneading dough again?"

"Isn't the first step in kneading dough..."

Wan Yu's confident smile slowly faded away, as if playing a reversed video.

The two exchanged a glance, then silently sat back down and resumed playing the video.

[Eyes: I understand!]

[Brain: I've learned it!]

[Reality: You two are utterly useless!]

……

The two of them learned step by step, stumbling and failing several times before finally managing to knead the dough.

"Oh my god, they've finally made up."

Wan Yu looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

She really didn't expect that "making dumplings," a New Year's activity that can be mentioned casually in any skit or scene on the Spring Festival Gala, would take her and Nanfeng so long just for kneading the dough.

As expected, decisions made on a whim are unreliable.

However, since they had already started, the two of them still had to finish what they were supposed to do.

otherwise……

Wanyu looked at the half-full bin of failed products in the trash can.

If the two of us don't manage to make these dumplings, Guan Gu and Zhang Wei will laugh us to death later!

Moreover, if you give up, then these failed attempts will truly be worthless.

"Next, just let the fermented dough rest over there. It'll give us a chance to rest for a while." Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, then frowned. "It's almost noon, why haven't Zhang Wei and Guan Gu come back yet?"

"Yes, the fireworks shop isn't far from here."

Wan Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Could those two be lost?"

"Even if they're lost, surely they have the brains to come up with something as simple as 'calling back for help,' right?"

Nanfeng lowered his head and sent messages to the two of them, while saying to Wanyu, "Wanyu, you need to remember to remind me."

"If they haven't replied to my message in five minutes, you should let me call them."

Nanfeng, who was the main force in kneading the dough, had been busy all morning and was too lazy to take notes or set an alarm.

"it is good."

Wan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Guan Gu and Zhang Wei aren't fools. They won't be like Teacher Zeng, who knowingly courts death but still chooses to do it anyway."

"Too."

Nanfeng felt a little relieved. He stood up and pointed to the jujubes beside him: "Then let's rest for a bit. I'll go wash some jujubes and we can eat them together."

"No need, you've been working hard all day."

Wan Yu quickly got up and picked up the jujubes: "I can do this little thing."

Nanfeng didn't stand on ceremony with Wanyu. He sat down and watched Wanyu run to the sink next to him to wash the dates.

Just as Wanyu was humming a little tune while washing the dates, her phone, which was on the table, started buzzing.

Nanfeng peeked over and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Wanyu, this is a video call from [Cybertron's Number One Idiot]."

He smiled and teased Wan Yu, "I didn't expect you to have such a wide network of connections, even having friends on Cybertron."

"oops."

Wan Yu blushed and said, "You can't possibly not recognize Zhanbo's profile picture, hurry up and answer it for me."

Nanfeng picked up her phone and answered the video call.

Before the two screens could even display each other's images, Zhanbo's affected voice had already come through.

"Wanyu~"

"hiss."

The south wind gasped for breath.

This incredibly greasy way of addressing someone clearly belongs to Teacher Zeng's personal disciple.

Zhanbo was calling Wanyu sweetly when Nanfeng's face suddenly appeared on the screen, looking utterly disgusted.

He paused for a moment, glanced down, and confirmed that the video call was sent to Wanyu.

"Nanfeng, why are you answering the phone!"

Zhanbo stared in disbelief, a hint of green appearing on his fair and rosy face.

"what?"

Seeing Zhanbo's expression change from one of squinting with joy to one of disbelief and even disgust, Nanfeng felt annoyed.

Nanfeng narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile bright: "You really dislike seeing me that much?"

"South Wind, stop messing around!"

Zhanbo asked anxiously, "Where's Wanyu? What's she doing?"

"Wanyu is washing dates."

Nanfeng answered succinctly.

"What?!"

This time, not only Zhanbo screamed, but Nanfeng even heard Yifei slam her hand on the table in shock.

It was obvious that Hu Yifei had been spying on the screen the whole time.

Zhanbo stared at Nanfeng on the screen with a complicated expression, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Why does Wanyu need to take a shower in the middle of the day?

Why did Nanfeng answer her call?

Could it be that...?

Zhanbo pressed his hands firmly against his temples and began to rub them.

Oh my god!

Nanfeng didn't realize at first that there was anything wrong with what she said.

It wasn't until he saw Zhanbo's disheveled expression that Nanfeng immediately realized what Zhanbo was thinking.

He felt both angry and amused. Did he really look like a minotaur who would intercept something halfway through?

It can only be said that Zhanbo is indeed blinded by concern. If he were given some time to calm down and think things through, he would be able to figure it out on his own.

Neither Nanfeng nor Wanyu will develop as he imagined.

Although Nanfeng was angry that this guy acted like a complete idiot whenever it came to Wanyu, he wouldn't mislead Zhanbo on such a matter.

He rolled his eyes at Zhanbo and explained, "Wanyu is washing jujubes. Do you understand what jujubes are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhanbo became even more aggrieved. He sniffled and said, "I understand, if I don't take a winter bath this season, can I take a summer bath?"

"hiss……"

Nanfeng looked at Zhanbo with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

That young man is quite self-assured.

"Lu Zhanbo, you're just asking for trouble!"

Over the video call, I could hear Yifei muttering through gritted teeth.

Yifei was also shocked for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses.

One of them was her eldest nephew, whom she had grown up with since childhood, and the other she had already treated like a sister.

Doesn't she understand them?

As for Zhanbo, he's just blinded by his own involvement; his concern leads to confusion.

Yifei smacked Zhanbo hard on the back of the head, muttering under her breath, "Nanfeng was talking about winter jujubes, the kind you can eat!"

Zhanbo then realized what was going on, and he scratched his head and smiled sheepishly at Nanfeng.

Nanfeng returned Zhanbo's bright smile, but the smile sent a chill down Zhanbo's spine.

"I really like eating summer jujubes, but unfortunately they're not available this season."

Wanyu returned carrying the washed jujubes, humming a little tune.

She didn't hear Yifei's muttering curses, nor did she see Zhanbo's resentful expression, so she naturally couldn't figure out what had just happened.

Wanyu took her phone from Nanfeng and held up the washed jujubes she had prepared to show the camera.

"Zhanbo, look how big and round these dates are! Don't you want some?"

"think."

Zhanbo smiled sheepishly.

"Then open your mouth and watch me shoot a three-pointer!"

As Wanyu spoke, she pretended to throw the jujubes into the phone screen, as if the jujubes could actually cross the internet cable and be delivered to Zhanbo's mouth.

Meanwhile, Zhanbo on the other side also opened his mouth wide in perfect cooperation.

This scene made Nanfeng and Yifei, who were watching the show from the sidelines, smile knowingly.

When the two separated, they were both still at an adolescent level mentally.

But when the two of them get together, it feels like children playing house.

The two interacted for a while over the jujube before Wanyu asked Zhanbo, "So Zhanbo, why did you think of sending me a video?"

"I, I, I..."

Zhanbo hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say anything except "I".

Actually, he had just casually mentioned missing Wanyu at home when his older sister forced him to make this video call.

But he was too embarrassed to tell Wanyu, "I miss you."

Zhanbo's awkwardness was so bad that even Yifei couldn't stand it anymore.

She nudged Zhanbo, sat down next to him, and spoke into her phone screen.

"Zhanbo meant to say..."

"What I meant to say was... Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, Wanyu."

Zhanbo quickly interrupted Yifei.

Wan Yu was taken aback at first, then smiled brightly and said.

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, Zhanbo.

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, Yifei.

Yifei glared angrily at her good-for-nothing brother, but she had no intention of continuing to help him express his feelings.

If you're a guy and you don't know how to pick up girls, your older sister can teach you.

If you're too shy to tell someone you like what you think, I can help you.

But if you don't want to say it yourself, I, as your older sister, can't just confess for you, can I?

Yifei looked Wanyu up and down, then said mysteriously, "Wanyu, were you kneading dough just now?"

Wan Yu exclaimed "Wow!" and then excitedly asked, "Feifei, how did you know?"

Yifei raised her head proudly: "That's because I can read minds. I can know what you're thinking with just one glance."

"Feifei, you're really amazing."

Wanyu first praised Yifei, then a clear, bewildered look appeared in her eyes.

"But I wasn't thinking about kneading dough just now."

"Actually, Wanyu, you still have flour stuck to your nose, but you might not be able to see it on a small screen if you're in a video."

Zhanbo couldn't bear to see Wanyu continue to be fooled by his older sister, so he whispered the truth to her.

"I see."

Wan Yu laughed and said, "I thought Fei Fei really had mind-reading abilities."

Yifei glared fiercely at Zhanbo.

【You'll expose me!】

"Why did you all decide to play with dough on New Year's Eve?" Yifei asked.

Wanyu briefly explained the cause and course of events.

Yifei nodded: "Making dumplings, huh? That sounds interesting."

"Have you finished preparing the fillings?"

"The filling?"

Wan Yu and Nan Feng were struck dumb.

"Yeah, the filling takes a long time to prepare... You're not planning to wait until the dough has risen before making the filling, are you?"

Nanfeng and Wanyu fell silent.

Then, Yifei's unrestrained laughter came through the phone.

[You all laugh at my cooking skills every day, but you can't even make a decent dumpling yourself!]

【Ha ha ha ha……】

I'm coming
