Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 306 Zeng Xiaoxian, Completely Lost and Confused

"A well-known journalist!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless: "Of all the people in the apartment, only the three of you love driving."

The three of them, Nanfeng and his companions, exchanged glances, their faces even showing a hint of pride.

He continued, "I heard she's a prominent figure; she just won the Pulitzer Prize."

Ziqiao's face revealed a clear look of utter naiveté: "Isn't Pritz a tire?"

Youyou touched her forehead with her hand: "That's Michelin."

Ziqiao became increasingly confused: "Isn't Michelin supposed to make pizza?"

That's Pizza Hut.

"Isn't Pizza Hut owned by Tencent?"

"That's the Invincible King of Nanshan."

It must be said that Youyou was very patient when dealing with her nephew.

But Meijia clearly didn't have that kind of patience for Ziqiao: "Lu Ziqiao, I've already told you that you're not only uncultured but also ignorant."

"You are cultured and knowledgeable."

Ziqiao sneered, "You, who can't even recite the multiplication table, have the nerve to talk to me like that."

"I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt soda!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Youyou and Curry Sauce quickly grabbed one of them and tried to mediate.

After finally calming the two down, Zeng Xiaoxian continued, "The Pulitzer Prize is an international news award, it's famous all over the world, okay?"

"Not only that, she's also a contributing writer for National Geographic magazine. Isn't that amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao was immediately overwhelmed: "Geography? I hate geography the most for exams."

"Those formulas about free fall, centrifugal force, acceleration... I get tired of just thinking about them."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhanbo asked tentatively, "Is this physics?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yifei clapped her hands: "Whether it's Zeng Xiaoxian's 600th episode or Ziqiao finally deciding to treat us, today is a rare and auspicious day. Everyone, let's be happy!"

"good!!!"

Everyone applauded and cheered, but Ziqiao stared wide-eyed and stammered, "No, no, when did I say I was going to treat everyone?"

Yifei looked at Ziqiao: "Didn't you just tell me that you decided to hold a dinner party to celebrate Zeng Xiaoxian's show reaching its 600th episode?"

"Is everyone celebrating and joining in this grand event?"

She pouted and said, "You said all those nice things to pick up girls, and now you're going back on your word."

Ziqiao protested, "When did I say I was going to treat everyone? I clearly meant for everyone to split the bill, okay?"

Yifei's face darkened: "Then please don't use the word 'decided' next time you invite us out for a meal, okay? It made me think you'd changed your mind and wanted to treat us."

Meijia snorted coldly, "Ziqiao must have changed his mind after finding out that Xiaobo is a single mother."

"Nonsense."

Ziqiao shrugged confidently: "I originally only planned to pay Xiaobo's share as well."

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ziqiao with displeasure.

While it's your prerogative to treat others to a meal or not, isn't this a bit too much of a case of prioritizing romance over friendship?

"Lu Ziqiao!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "We despise you!"

……

Instead of going out for a meal together, everyone decided to buy some ingredients and cook for themselves.

In fact, since the number of tenants on the sixth floor has increased, people rarely go out for fancy meals anymore, except for some very important events.

After all, with more people, there are more things to celebrate, and they can't go out for a big meal every few days, can they?

This is unrealistic for the financial situation of the vast majority of people in the apartment.

After lunch, everyone got down to business.

Guan Gu returned to his bedroom to draw comics, while Mei Jia, as Guan Gu's assistant, assisted him.

Zhang Wei went back to school to handle some trivial matters, while Youyou was alone in room 3604 memorizing the script and preparing for her new play.

Wanyu and Curry Sauce went out with a friend this afternoon; the friend's name is Zhuge Dali.

Although Nanfeng knew that the three of them had exchanged contact information because of what happened at the movie theater last year, and that they got along quite well.

But he really didn't expect that the three little guys had gotten along so well without him even realizing it.

However, having two more innocent and carefree friends was obviously a good thing for Dali, so Nanfeng simply drove Wanyu and Curry Sauce to find Dali, and also took the three of them to the places they wanted to go.

Nanfeng and Dali agreed on a time to take them home that evening, so he drove back to Love Apartment first.

After he took the elevator upstairs, he heard Zeng Xiaoxian shouting "Lola" in fear.

Nanfeng followed the sound curiously to 3601, where she saw Xiaoxian biting her nails with a look of terror on her face, pacing back and forth in the living room.

Yu Mo said worriedly, "Teacher Zeng, would you like to sit down first?"

"Yes! Great idea!"

As Xiaoxian spoke, he backed away, trying to sit on the sofa, but he tripped and fell on his bottom because he was too flustered.

He hurriedly got up, grabbed a sofa cushion and hugged it to his chest, while looking around absentmindedly, clearly terrified and at a loss for what to do.

Xiao Xian's current flustered and disoriented state left not only Nan Feng and Zhan Bo and Yu Mo in disbelief, but even Yi Fei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but rub her chin.

"Who exactly is this Laura?" Yifei asked, frowning.

Even when he was at his angrier and more furious, Zeng Xiaoxian had never been so terrified by just hearing a name that he was practically half-dead.

At this moment, Xiaoxian was so frightened that he couldn't even control his limbs. He just kept waving his arms and muttering to himself, "This is my nightmare, my nightmare..."

Zhanbo asked curiously, "Didn't you say my sister was your nightmare?"

Zeng Xiaoxian stared blankly into space: "Yeah."

"I'm having two nightmares now!"

Realizing that reality was far more cruel and ruthless than he had imagined, Zeng Xiaoxian's mental state completely collapsed, and he hugged the sofa pillow and refused to let go.

Nanfeng sat down next to Zeng Xiaoxian and gently patted Zeng Xiaoxian's back in a forceful yet tender manner.

"Yu Mo, go and pour Teacher Zeng a glass of water first."

Nanfeng paused for a moment: "Remember, it's warm water. Don't pour the wrong thing again this time."

"it is good."

"Teacher Zeng, relax."

Nanfeng's voice was incredibly gentle at that moment, yet it carried a calm and reassuring quality that made one feel at ease.

Clear your mind and let's take a few deep breaths first.

"Inhale, exhale..."

While comforting Zeng Xiaoxian, Nanfeng gestured to Yifei and Zhanbo, signaling them not to speak.

The two nodded repeatedly.

Yu Mo handed over the water, and Xiao Xian quickly and shakily took the cup and took a small sip. Even so, he almost choked to death.

Nanfeng and Yumo gently comforted Xiaoxian until his emotions gradually stabilized.

Nanfeng held Zeng Xiaoxian's hand and tentatively asked, "Teacher Zeng, who is this Laura...?"

Zeng Xiaoxian froze instantly, but fortunately, he had already passed the most panicked and frightened stage and would no longer lose control of himself whenever Laura was mentioned.

"This is a long story."

"It's alright, Teacher Zeng."

Yu Mo said gently, "We have plenty of time this afternoon. We can listen to you slowly and help you think of a solution."

"Then I'll try to keep it brief."

Zeng Xiaoxian took a deep breath and said, "She dumped me."

Everyone was taken aback.

This story isn't very long.

"Lola...is your first love?"

Yifei frowned in thought. She knew that Zeng Xiaoxian had a first love girlfriend he had been in love with for several years when she first met him.

However, this first love seemed to be very busy. Yifei had never seen her come to the apartment once, and even Wang Tiezhu had never seen what this first love looked like.

For a time, they even suspected that Zeng Xiaoxian was mentally unstable and had imagined such a first love girlfriend.

Later, Xiaoxian got very drunk and said that he had broken up with his girlfriend, but he refused to reveal how or why they broke up.

However, I had only known Zeng Xiaoxian for a short time at the time, and I was too embarrassed to ask any further questions.

After observing him for a few days and confirming that he was relatively normal, Yifei stopped taking it seriously.

Now it seems that the breakup wasn't as simple as I had initially imagined.

Yifei looked at the flustered Zeng Xiaoxian and said in a pretentious manner, "I thought this Laura was your loan shark debtor, but it turns out she's just your ex-girlfriend."

"What's there to be afraid of with your ex-girlfriend? You've been broken up for almost two years, she's not going to eat you."

"Yes, Teacher Zeng."

The simple-minded Zhanbo said with a smile, "Just treat her as an old friend. You can catch up after the show."

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled wryly, "What are we catching up on?"

"Should I reflect on the suffering of the first half of my life, or look ahead to whether the second half will be even more painful?"

Nanfeng frowned and asked, "Is this Laura a guest on your show?"

"right!"

Zeng Xiaoxian leaned back on the sofa, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed, "With so many people in the world, why is she my guest?!"

"Calm down, Teacher Zeng, please calm down."

Nanfeng comforted her, "Whatever she did to you, it's all in the past."

"You can not forgive her, you can hate her, you can curse her, you can not want to see her, but you have no reason to be afraid of her."

Nanfeng, Yumo, and Yifei sighed.

Although they hadn't asked Zeng Xiaoxian what exactly happened between him and Laura, just by looking at his reaction, all three of them knew that Laura must have deeply hurt Teacher Zeng in this relationship.

There are only a few ways lovers can hurt each other.

Domestic violence, financial fraud, psychological manipulation, and betrayal.

Either way, it was a huge blow to Teacher Zeng.

I'm coming
