Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 307 Zeng Xiaoxian, the Masochist

"Yes, I shouldn't be afraid of her, I shouldn't be afraid of her..."

Zeng Xiaoxian kept repeating this sentence, trying to bolster his courage, but in the end he broke down and shouted, "No, I can't do it, I can't do it!"

"Teacher Zeng, calm down, calm down..."

The four friends, including Nanfeng, offered their own comforting words to Zeng Xiaoxian. Even Yifei patiently asked, "Zeng Xiaoxian, let me ask you, is this Laura any better than me?"

Zeng Xiaoxian replied timidly, "No, she's very delicate, like a tender flower."

Yifei's eye twitched uncontrollably: "Is she as fierce as me?"

"Um...no, she's very gentle, like a white cloud stretching out in the sky."

Zeng Xiaoxian was lost in memories, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were reveling in the happiness of the past.

Nanfeng and Yumo exchanged a glance and then both put their hands to their foreheads.

This thing is beyond saving!

"Damn it, the four of us went to great lengths to comfort you, and all you did was fantasize about your ex-girlfriend!"

Hu Yifei kicked Zeng Xiaoxian hard.

She initially looked down on Zeng Xiaoxian for being so flustered over a girlfriend he'd broken up with almost two years ago, but then he started reminiscing about the past.

What a spineless coward!

Yifei was furious, but she still said, "Since this Laura is neither as strong as me nor as fierce, what are you afraid of with me protecting you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned: "You'll protect me?"

"nonsense!"

Yifei said irritably, "Even when you beat a dog, you have to consider its owner!"

"Hit...a dog?" Zeng Xiaoxian opened his mouth wide and looked at Yifei with a wronged expression.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Yifei glared at him fiercely: "What are you looking at? Shut your mouth!"

Zeng Xiaoxian shut up in fear.

I told you, they're both my nightmares.

[Nightmare!]

"What are you doing sitting? Stand up right now!"

Zeng Xiaoxian obediently got up.

Yifei pointed at Xiaoxian's nose and scolded, "Zeng Xiaoxian, how dare you say you're a grown man?"

"In the end, he panicked, acted coy, and made a scene over an ex-girlfriend. I spit on that!"

"I think even tofu has more backbone than you, and Zhanbo is more manly than you!"

"what?"

Zhanbo pointed to himself with a wronged expression.

Why was he being scolded for no reason?

It's all your fault, Teacher Zeng!

Nanfeng originally wanted to advise Yifei not to provoke Teacher Zeng at this time, but he saw Zeng Xiaoxian gradually calm down amidst Yifei's roar.

Although Zeng Xiaoxian looked aggrieved, it was still much better than his absent-minded appearance just now.

Even though Nanfeng knew it wasn't appropriate to laugh in this situation, he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Teacher Zeng, you're truly amazing!

[If we'd known you'd fall for this even more, why did the four of us spend so much time trying to coax you like a child?]

Why not just let Yifei give you a good scolding?

[You previously told me that you didn't like Yifei being too harsh on you, always making sarcastic remarks and resorting to violence and threats.]

So you said no, but your body seemed to be enjoying it???

You shameful... masochist!

Nanfeng couldn't help but spit at Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Stand up straight!"

Yifei said with exasperation, "It's just an ex-girlfriend. If you don't care about an ex-girlfriend, she's like a stranger."

Why are you afraid of a stranger?

"This is different..." Zeng Xiaoxian said in a low voice, feeling wronged.

"Then tell me, what's the difference?"

"But I've been with her for eight years, and she told me I'm a good person, that I'm actually very outstanding, and that I should..."

"You should find a girl who loves you more than I do."

Yifei rolled her eyes at Zeng Xiaoxian: "You've watched so many melodramatic dramas and cheesy idol dramas, don't you know that all bad movies use lines like this?"

Zhanbo asked directly, "Teacher Zeng, so it's because of these eight years that you can't let go?"

Zeng Xiaoxian clutched the pillow in his arms and said in a flustered voice, "I don't know, I don't know!"

"A full eight years, or even more than eight years, a full three thousand and seventy-four days..."

"Goodness."

Yu Mo said in a low voice, "You remember that very clearly."

"Yes, I remember it very clearly."

Zeng Xiaoxian recalled the painful past, and filled with grief and indignation, he shouted recklessly, "Especially when I later found out that she had been cheating on me with other people for six out of those eight years!!!"

"ah?!!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

In fact, apart from Zhanbo, Nanfeng and the other two had also vaguely guessed that Zeng Xiaoxian's head was a little green.

But in the end, it wasn't just a little green; his head was clearly covered in a green meadow!

"This is outrageous! This is simply outrageous!"

Yifei immediately rolled up her sleeves and cursed, "If I had known about this back then, I would have made sure that bitch was bedridden for six years."

Zhanbo said, "Sis, it's not too late to pack up now. You can go to the radio station tonight and wait for her."

Yifei: ...

"Lu Zhanbo, are you an idiot, or do you think I'm an idiot?!"

Yifei snorted, "With so many cameras in that area, do you want to get your sister arrested?"

"Alright."

Nanfeng said, "Don't always think of solving everything with violence... Besides, he's a well-known reporter, and a reporter's pen is far more lethal than your fists."

He looked at Zeng Xiaoxian: "Teacher Zeng, I'm not just saying this because I'm not in the same boat, but the past is the past, that's a fact."

"The key question is, what do you want to do now, and how do you want to face Laura?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't say a word.

He originally thought he would never have to recall that name again in his life, and that he would never have to meet that woman who made him feel both love and hate again.

"I feel pain in my kidneys, pain in my stomach, pain in my head, pain all over my body."

He said pitifully, "Oh no, I'm sick. Is it too late for me to take sick leave now?"

Upon hearing this, Yifei rolled her eyes and leaned back on the sofa. She shouldn't have had any hope for this little man who only knew how to run away at crucial moments.

Although Nanfeng couldn't understand Zeng Xiaoxian's thoughts either, he still objectively analyzed the pros and cons for Teacher Zeng.

"Didn't you say that tonight's program was deliberately moved up three hours, and that the station's leaders would also be listening?"

"At this critical juncture, if you dare to casually take sick leave and stand up your boss... I'm afraid Lisa will come over with two kitchen knives tomorrow morning and turn your sick leave into personal leave."

"Personal leave?"

"The past is gone."

"Depend on!"

Zeng Xiaoxian broke down again: "Why is there always someone who wants to kill me?!"

Yifei snorted coldly: "That's normal. After all, in a turtle's eyes, everything outside its shell is deadly."

"Zeng Xiaoxian, you really are a turtle that has become a spirit."

She waved her hand repeatedly, picked up her bag, and got up to leave 3601.

"I can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, before Laura even does anything to him, I'll smash his turtle shell."

As Yifei left with her bag, Yu Mo sighed softly.

"I heard the sound of my favorability rating plummeting."

Zeng Xiaoxian pouted in grievance. He knew that Yifei would definitely not approve of his cowardly behavior, but he just couldn't control himself.

Nanfeng and the other two comforted Zeng Xiaoxian for a while, but without Yifei's fierce roar, his mentality only got worse.

Just as the atmosphere in the suite was starting to dampen, a phone call to 3601 stunned everyone.

"What era are we living in? People still make calls on landlines."

Zhanbo mumbled as he answered the phone, "Hello."

"Oh, Laura."

He looked up: "Teacher Zeng, are you going to answer Laura's call?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened upon hearing this: "I can't refuse to answer now, you should at least cover the receiver with your hand!"

"Why can't I not answer even if I want to?"

Zhanbo said directly into the phone, "I'm sorry, Laura, Teacher Zeng doesn't want to answer your calls. Please don't call again."

He hung up the phone and shrugged at the dumbfounded Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Teacher Zeng, is it so hard to say 'no'?"

Yu Mo patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder: "Look, even Zhanbo knows that you should firmly refuse when you should."

Zeng Xiaoxian stubbornly replied, "It's not that I don't know how to refuse, I just haven't thought it through yet."

Nanfeng smiled and said, "Then take your time to think about it. I wonder if you'll have made up your mind by the time Laura shows up at the apartment door."

"What?" Zeng Xiaoxian instantly launched himself off the sofa like a rocket, then landed hard on his butt.

Nanfeng pointed to his ear: "Laura just said she's across the street and will come to pick you up soon."

"You don't have much time left to think this through~"

Xiao Xian's legs went weak instantly; the approaching Laura had instantly drained all his courage.

At that moment, Zeng Xiaoxian's brilliant mind sent him only one command: Run!

"No, no, I have to leave now. If Laura comes, remember to tell her."

"Xiao Xian is dead. Burn paper money if you need anything."

After saying that, he staggered and prepared to escape from the Love Apartment.

Only after Zeng Xiaoxian opened the door did he turn to look at the three silent Nanfengs.

"Aren't you all going to try to persuade me?"

Nanfeng rolled her eyes at Teacher Zeng: "After Yifei left, the three of us tried to persuade you for more than ten minutes, but you still didn't listen to anything."

Yu Mo sighed and said, "Since you'd rather sacrifice your career than see Laura, there's nothing we can do to persuade you."

"Teacher Zeng, may you rest in peace. We will miss you."

"Hey, this is outrageous!"

Zeng Xiaoxian asked timidly, "Don't you guys want to say something like, 'Running away is useless'?"

"Depend on!"

Nanfeng finally broke down: "So you, you bastard, knew this all along, and then you made us coax you like a child for so long?"

He stood up and snapped, "Zeng Xiaoxian, you stand properly!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was startled by the sudden outburst of the south wind and didn't dare to move.

Nanfeng, mimicking Yifei, scolded, "Zeng Xiaoxian, look at yourself now, all flustered and distracted."

"You are the tenant of 3601, and you are the owner here."

"Do you understand what it means to be a master?"

Nanfeng pointed to the main entrance and said, "What the master means is that if you don't want to see this Laura, just tell her directly that 3601 doesn't welcome her either."

"Then you can close the door and kick her out!"

"If you can't say it, let Zhanbo say it for you. If you don't even want to see her, then you should obediently hide in your bedroom and leave this matter to us."

Zeng Xiaoxian said weakly, "But we can't hide forever. We still have to do the show together tonight."

"So you're planning to just run away and let Lisa clean up this mess for you?"

"It's a good thing Lisa wasn't there, otherwise we would have applauded and cheered if she slapped you twice on the spot."

Nanfeng looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with a pained expression: "Teacher Zeng, life is life, and work is work."

"Your career has finally started to rise steadily, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the future is promising."

"Laura has already hurt your feelings, you can't let her ruin your career as well."

"It's not worth it."

He glared at the timid Zeng Xiaoxian and yelled, "Teacher Zeng, did you even understand?!"

"I understand, I understand."

Zeng Xiaoxian was startled by Nanfeng's roar and broke out in a cold sweat. He felt himself become completely clear-headed: "I have a complete understanding now, a complete understanding."

"So you know what to do next?"

"I know, I know very well."

Zeng Xiaoxian patted his chest and said, "I'll tell her later that there's nothing between us except tonight's program."

"I hope that after tonight, she will never, ever set foot in my life again!"

"That's more like it."

Nanfeng let out a long breath, then looked at the dumbfounded Yu Mo and Zhan Bo with a wry smile.

"It seems that among us, Yifei is the true wise one."

"When dealing with a panicked Teacher Zeng, yelling and shouting are indeed more effective than comforting and encouraging her."

Yu Mo and Zhan Bo gave Zeng Xiaoxian a thumbs up.

Teacher Zeng, you really are a masochist!
