Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 301 Yifei and "South Wind"

"Zeng Xiaoxian?"

"Zeng Xiaoxian!"

Yifei walked into the courtyard with her hands on her hips. She frowned and muttered under her breath, "How come Zeng Xiaoxian disappeared after going to the toilet? Could he have been abducted by aliens?"

"That doesn't make sense either. If aliens were to capture someone, they would capture Zhanbo. Why would they capture this good-for-nothing?"

She glanced around and saw Nanfeng sitting uneasily on a deckchair, wearing a green military overcoat and a black helmet, counting on his fingers as if deep in thought.

"Nanfeng, have you seen Zeng Xiaoxian?"

Nanfeng didn't reply; instead, she subconsciously looked up and glanced around.

Yifei walked straight over and curiously kicked the remains of the recliner on the ground: "What happened? Did you just have a one-on-one fight with the recliner?"

Nanfeng touched his helmet with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Yifei raised an eyebrow: "Why aren't you saying anything? Is your throat sore?"

Nanfeng carefully touched his bow tie, then tentatively whispered, "Yi...Fei?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Nanfeng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately called out in a very obsequious manner, "Yifei~"

"Alas……"

Yifei felt goosebumps all over from the greasy, lewd, and familiar way of addressing him.

She said with a look of disgust, "It's just breaking a chair, it's not a big deal. Do you have to yell like Zeng Xiaoxian in such a lewd way?"

"How could Zeng Xiaoxian...?"

Nanfeng subconsciously stood up, but then, for some reason, could only sit down again reluctantly.

"Yifei, what if I told you that this chair was... broken by Teacher Zeng..."

"What?!"

Before Nanfeng could finish speaking, Yifei raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

She sneered, "Very well, that bastard Zeng Xiaoxian not only played hide-and-seek with me, but also broke one of my chairs."

"Just wait and see how I deal with him!"

In his inner world, "Nanfeng" angrily removed his helmet, only to find Zeng Xiaoxian's face revealed.

Zeng Xiaoxian angrily waved his fist and said, "Look at this! Look at this!"

[We both broke a chair, but how was Nanfeng treated, and how was I treated?]

She's clearly belittling me, despising me, and looking down on me!

This is blatant psychological bullying!!!

Okay, the fact is that the person wearing a green military coat and a motorcycle helmet right now is none other than our Zeng Xiaoxian, Teacher Zeng.

Just now, Zeng Xiaoxian's casual complaint, "If you're so capable, let's switch places, and you go ask for me!" gave Nanfeng an idea.

Teacher Zeng simply wanted to know what Yifei was thinking, but he was afraid that if he asked her, he would only get Yifei's sarcastic remarks that were hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Moreover, Nanfeng seriously doubted that even if Yifei were calm and open to asking him questions, given Teacher Zeng's personality, he might not dare to ask the questions he truly wanted to ask.

Although Nanfeng could help get information out of Yifei and then tell Teacher Zeng, it would be troublesome and complicated in the long run.

Besides, there are some things that Teacher Zeng should ask and listen to himself.

He can't be the bridge of communication between the two of them for life.

Moreover, Nanfeng is indeed quite tired right now, and really doesn't have the energy to try to get information out of Yifei again, and he also has to come back to comfort Teacher Zeng.

So he simply let Teacher Zeng, posing as Nanfeng, try to get information out of Yifei.

Anyway, the two are about the same height. As long as Teacher Zeng puts on his military overcoat and helmet and sits on the deck chair, everyone who comes will have to call out "Nanfeng" first.

As for the most fatal problem of voice, there's the voice-changing bow tie that Nanfeng gave Ziqiao at the wedding, which can be used to deceive people.

After explaining everything, Nanfeng simply sent Yifei a message, asking her to come to the courtyard to chat with him. Then, wearing earplugs and his red floral jacket, he went home.

Meanwhile, Zeng Xiaoxian, with his outer shell covered in the south wind, could only sit nervously in his chair, waiting for Yifei's arrival.

Yifei sat on the recliner, pouting. She turned to look at Nanfeng and asked, "So where is Zeng Xiaoxian now? Did he run away because he broke the chair?"

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled and said, "I think any normal person wouldn't flee from justice over a chair."

"That's not necessarily true."

Yifei snorted coldly: "Zeng Xiaoxian is just a coward. I wouldn't be surprised if a coward did something cowardly."

Zeng Xiaoxian muttered softly, "Actually, I don't think Teacher Zeng is as cowardly as you say."

"If he weren't a coward, how come we haven't seen a single person yet?" Yifei said angrily, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

She wouldn't actually get angry over a chair, but Zeng Xiaoxian came here to be her fake boyfriend, and then he said he was going to the bathroom and disappeared without a word.

This is nothing short of desertion!

"Well……"

Zeng Xiaoxian hastily explained, "Teacher Zeng told me that he was just unhappy and wanted to go out for a walk to clear his head."

"Unhappy?"

Yifei was puzzled: "Why is he unhappy?"

Zeng Xiaoxian: ...

After all this time, you still don't know why I'm unhappy.

Zeng Xiaoxian was about to subtly remind Yifei why she was unhappy, but Yifei waved her hand and said...

"Never mind, it's not important."

The words "not important" floated softly from Yifei's lips, yet they seemed to transform into three mountains pressing down on Zeng Xiaoxian's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Zeng Xiaoxian immediately clutched his chest in pain, his face full of resentment.

As a result, Yifei turned to look at Nanfeng, her tone carrying a hint of concern and worry: "The important thing is that Zeng Xiaoxian is unfamiliar with this place and people. How can you let him go out for a walk alone?"

"Even if we don't say something unexpected happened, what if he gets lost?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned when he heard this. The three mountains that had been weighing on his heart were suddenly kicked over by him.

He then grinned smugly and said, "You seem quite worried about him?"

"Me? Worried about him?"

"It doesn't exist!"

Yifei looked disgusted, and her words were even more disgusted than her expression: "I, I'm just very responsible."

"He came here because of me, so I have to take responsibility for him."

Seeing that "Nanfeng" remained silent, Yifei, whose eyes kept darting away, quickly added.

"And you know how weak this bastard is. I wouldn't even say he's as good as a goose in terms of fighting ability in the village; he can't even beat a chicken."

"If you were chased and pecked by a chicken, it would not only be embarrassing, but also... extremely embarrassing."

Xiaoxian's smug smile, hidden under his helmet, froze instantly.

I am Zeng Xiaoxian!

[In your eyes, your fighting strength is even less than that of a chicken?]

You're really underestimating me!

"no."

Hu Yifei took out her phone and said in a rambling voice, "I still need to call Zeng Xiaoxian first."

"Don't!"

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly stopped Yifei, knowing that if she made the call, he would be exposed on the spot.

As for what would happen after he was exposed... he didn't even dare to think about it.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that Teacher Zeng is safe now, very safe."

Are you sure?

"I'm absolutely certain, 100%, 100%, and 1000% certain!"

Zeng Xiaoxian patted his chest and assured Yifei.

"All right."

Because Nanfeng usually has a very good reputation and character, and never jokes about such things, Yifei is willing to believe Nanfeng's guarantee.

"Since you've said he's safe, let's ignore this idiot host for now."

She put away her phone and then carefully examined Nanfeng: "So what exactly did you want to talk about when you texted me earlier, asking me to come out and chat?"

"That's how it is..."

Zeng Xiaoxian was still organizing his thoughts, thinking about how he should talk to Yifei.

However, Yifei noticed something amiss while observing. She narrowed her eyes and asked hesitantly.

"Nanfeng, you seem to have gained a lot of weight recently?"

Zeng Xiaoxian shuddered upon hearing this.

He instinctively tried to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but all he touched was his helmet.

Seeing Yifei's puzzled expression, Xiaoxian quickly covered it up, saying, "Well, it's all because this green military coat is too bulky."

"Oh……"

Yifei continued, "But why do I feel... you seem to have gotten a little shorter?"

"That's because the helmet was so heavy it was pressing down on me!"

"The helmet is too heavy, just take it off. I haven't even asked you why you're dressed like this today."

As she spoke, she was about to take off "Nanfeng's" helmet.

Xiaoxian immediately secured the helmet with both hands: "No need, this helmet is soundproof. You know how noisy it is, the village has been setting off fireworks these past few days."

"All right."

Yifei said sympathetically, "You really have it tough during the Chinese New Year."

"Let's not talk about that now."

Zeng Xiaoxian waved his hand: "I called you here to talk about you and Teacher Zeng."

"What could possibly happen between Zeng Xiaoxian and me?"

Yifei shrugged: "We've had a great time working together these past two days, with excellent teamwork."

"Apart from the fact that he's been inexplicably a little unhappy these past two days, everything is fine."

Zeng Xiaoxian was struck dumb. He tried to subtly probe Yifei, "Since you can tell he's unhappy, why don't you ask him...?"

Yifei looked bewildered: "Ask?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's expression was extremely complex, but unfortunately Yifei couldn't see it at all.

He could only keep guiding Yifei with gestures: "Ask..."

"Ask?"

"Ask..."

"What exactly do you want to ask?!"

Yifei, with her fiery temper, couldn't stand this cryptic way of communicating. She said impatiently, "Nanfeng, why are you acting like Zeng Xiaoxian, all hesitant and coy?"

"Just say what you want to say, I'm not going to eat you!"

Zeng Xiaoxian pouted and said, "Since you can tell he's unhappy, why don't you ask him why he's unhappy and then comfort him?"

Yifei was increasingly confused: "I'm not just bored and have nothing better to do than ask him why he's unhappy, and then I have to comfort him afterward?"

"But what if he's unhappy because of you?"

Yifei stroked her chin, lost in thought: "If that's the case..."

"That's great!"

She clapped her hands excitedly: "That's wonderful news! Are you sure this news is true?"

"Hello!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face was almost as black as Zhang Wei's at this moment: "I... Teacher Zeng only came because of you, and you not only don't care about him, but you're also gloating like this!"

"Stop!"

Yifei corrected, "He didn't come for me, he came for the shoulder massages and leg rubs I gave him, and for serving him tea and water."

"Don't make it sound like he sacrificed a lot or was very great."

"In fact, we are just business partners. I even paid Zeng Xiaoxian in advance. I don't owe him anything in this matter."

She grew angrier as she spoke, then slammed her hand on the recliner beneath her: "He's unhappy now, but I'm just ignoring it and gloating behind his back. I was unhappy when he bullied me before, but he still continued to act like a jerk in front of me!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless and even felt a little ashamed.

He just instinctively retorted, "Who told you to violently oppress Teacher Zeng for so many years? It's understandable that he wants to seize this opportunity to turn the tables and become the master."

"Moreover, he went to great lengths to prepare for meeting your parents this time."

"He spent almost half a month just anticipating all the possible questions your parents might ask."

Yifei glanced at Nanfeng: "Did you overhear this, or did he tell you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian lowered his head and did not reply, but in Yi Fei's eyes, this was as if "Nanfeng" had tacitly agreed with her second guess.

"What a coward," she muttered under her breath.

Yifei nudged Nanfeng: "It seems you two talked quite a bit just now, so what exactly is making him unhappy?"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to know why he was unhappy?"

Yifei paused, then waved her hand and said, "Fine, don't tell me then. Actually, I don't really want to know either."

If Nanfeng were here, he would definitely curse these two stubborn mules who are so concerned with saving face that they suffer for it.

Normally, when Yifei and Xiaoxian, those two proud individuals, got to this point in their conversation, they would have already run out of things to say.

Fortunately, Xiaoxian is now "Nanfeng". Or rather, being under the guise of Nanfeng allows him to face Yifei more openly without having to worry about saving face.

"Yifei, actually, it's like this..."

Zeng Xiaoxian, speaking in Nanfeng's voice, explained why he was unhappy, but he still didn't reveal the real reason for his unhappiness.

Zeng Xiaoxian's unhappiness wasn't because playing this fake identity was tiring, nor was it because he felt he was being forced to accept a bunch of achievements that didn't belong to him.

He just felt that Yifei looked down on him, or rather...

They look down on themselves.

Although Yifei initially turned her back to indicate that she didn't really want to know, her constantly tilting her head back clearly betrayed her.

"Is this why Zeng Xiaoxian has been unhappy these past two days?"

"He felt that acting in these roles was too tiring, and that he was already very good and didn't need these outrageous characters to add to his fame."

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded silently.

"I see."

She slapped her thigh and suddenly realized, "I knew he looked strange when he heard the resume I designed for him. Turns out he was very dissatisfied with my resume."

"Then why didn't he say so at the time?"

"I...you know Teacher Zeng, he prefers to be passive."

"Pah, passive my foot!"

Yifei scolded, "This dawdling guy must have been thinking about it over and over again, and after thinking for a long time he still hasn't figured out how to tell me."

"After I made the decision swiftly and decisively, he was completely unable to say it."

She looked up at the sky and sighed, shaking her head as she said, "See, I always said he was indecisive and hesitant, wasn't I right?"

Zeng Xiaoxian awkwardly touched his helmet.

There's nothing we can do; what Yifei just said really is the truth of what happened back then.

He could only ask tentatively, "So, Yifei, why did you create such a fake resume?"

Yifei was stunned for a moment, then stared at Nanfeng with a strange expression.

"Actually, I was just about to say this: why are you talking like Zeng Xiaoxian today?"

"Nanfeng, you can't be Zeng Xiaoxian..."

Zeng Xiaoxian clutched his helmet with his hands in terror, saying, "No, I'm not."

"No, you definitely are."

No, I'm not.

"No, you definitely are."

"No, I'm not..."

"You must have been sent by Zeng Xiaoxian to trick me into revealing information!"

Yifei said confidently, "What you just said sounds exactly like Zeng Xiaoxian's style, especially the smugness between the lines."

"It must be that Zeng Xiaoxian is too cowardly to ask me directly, so he asked you to come instead, right?"

She patted "Nanfeng" on the shoulder triumphantly: "You know, no one can fool me, Hu Yifei!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you figured it out after all."

[Hu Yifei's reasoning ability is only slightly better than Guan Gu's.]

"That's right, I'm much better than Guan Gu."

Yifei, having once again proven herself superior to others, said smugly, in high spirits, "Logically speaking, I shouldn't answer your question, which is full of platitudes, but there's nothing wrong with answering it."

She shrugged: "Besides, didn't I already explain why I created this fake resume to you all at the village entrance?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was struck dumb: "That's...that's all?"

"Otherwise what?"

Yifei's eyes widened: "What else could it be?"

"So you really look down on Teacher Zeng's achievements?"

"It's not that I look down on his achievements, but his achievements are completely different from what I want."

Yifei sighed: "My criteria for choosing a partner aren't as high as you think. I really just want to find a boyfriend who is either smarter than me or stronger than me. I don't really care about anything else."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Yifei in disbelief.

Yifei, however, thought that Nanfeng's silence meant he was questioning her.

So she honestly replied, "Of course, it would be even better if the man were more handsome."

"I don't have high requirements for looks. I don't expect my future boyfriend to be as handsome as you. I would be happy even if he looked like Zhang Wei."

"Teacher Zeng's looks..."

"I really can't appreciate handsome guys with small eyes."

Zeng Xiaoxian is injured again.

"Of course, I can barely accept Zeng Xiaoxian's looks."

"Anyway, men are all the same with the lights off."

Zeng Xiaoxian was quite shocked by Yifei's words.

Yifei continued, "So I didn't really think too much about it when I made this fake resume. It was Ziqiao who reminded me to give Zeng Xiaoxian a proper makeover."

"After thinking about it carefully, I felt that Ziqiao made sense, so I enhanced Zeng Xiaoxian a little bit according to my preferences."

Zeng Xiaoxian asked expectantly, "So you don't look down on Teacher Zeng anymore?"

"Looking down on him is too much. I just dislike him and belittle him."

Zeng Xiaoxian: ...
