Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 318 Zeng Xiaoxian Takes the Initiative

After tidying up their hair and appearance, Nanfeng and the other two, along with Yifei, saw Xiaobo and her baby off.

Although the baby had exhausted them half to death that afternoon, the three of them really liked the cute little guy.

They welcome Xiaobo and Baobao to visit the apartment often, but they would rather not take care of them for an entire afternoon like they did today.

After all, Nanfeng, Yumo, and Zhanbo all have a childlike mentality, and the three of them simply cannot adapt to the role of parents taking care of a baby.

After seeing Xiaobo off, Nanfeng and the other two started a "criticism session" against Yifei in the living room of 3601.

The focus of this criticism meeting was to severely criticize and strongly condemn Hu Yifei's behavior, such as being boastful, talking big, and being unable to save face when meeting old classmates, and to demand that Hu Yifei deeply reflect on her behavior.

Faced with accusations from her younger brother, childhood sweetheart, and great-great-grandson, the usually domineering and assertive Hu Yifei had no choice but to sit on the sofa and nod meekly in agreement.

Yu Mo adjusted her glasses and, at the behest of Nan Feng and Zhan Bo, made the final decision regarding Yi Fei.

"Hu Yifei, based on the jury's unanimous opinion, you must submit a self-criticism report of no less than three thousand words within one week."

"The report should be substantial in content, have a clear theme, be written in beautiful language, and be rich in diction. Most importantly, plagiarism is strictly prohibited."

Do you have any objections to the jury's final verdict?

Yifei shook her head, both amused and exasperated: "No."

If she had to say what her opinion was, it would probably be that this was a combination of a denunciation meeting and a jury, making the situation far too complicated.

"That's good."

The three high-fived in celebration, but Yifei pouted in dissatisfaction.

Just then, Guan Gu, Mei Jia, and Wan Yu returned victorious with Zeng Xiaoxian.

"We're back!" Guan Gu and his two companions strode in, heads held high.

Zeng Xiaoxian was carrying a bag of medicine, his face filled with sorrow and poverty.

"You're back?"

Zhanbo asked with concern, "What did the doctor say?"

"Uh...dollar?"

Meijia hesitated for a long time before answering.

Zhanbo's face fell. "That's called a doctor... ptooey!"

He explained carefully, "Meijia, I'm asking what your psychologist said about Teacher Zeng's condition, not testing your English vocabulary."

"Is that so..."

Meijia smiled sheepishly, "That Dr. Ouyang said... I'm sorry, I was so busy eating popcorn that I didn't pay attention to what he actually said."

She nudged Guan Gu: "Guan Gu, you should say it."

Before Guan Gu could speak, Yu Mo preemptively asked, "Guan Gu, are you nervous right now?"

"nervous?"

Guan Gu looked completely bewildered: "Why should I be nervous?"

"It's good that you're not nervous. Guan Gu, please continue." Yu Mo was relieved.

What she feared was that Guan Gu would suddenly become nervous for no reason and then talk for a long time without getting to the point.

Guan Gu said, "Dr. Ouyang said that Teacher Zeng was triggered by external stimuli, which aggravated his old ailments such as post-traumatic stress disorder."

He went on to use a bunch of technical terms, but we didn't understand much of them.

"In short, Dr. Ouyang's idea is to make sure that Teacher Zeng receives treatment and takes his medicine on time, and that we should be more tolerant of Teacher Zeng and give him some guidance."

"If possible, it's best to keep him away from external stimuli."

"Okay." Nanfeng and the others nodded.

Actually, Teacher Zeng's illness isn't too serious. As long as he's willing to actively seek treatment and take his medication properly, and with everyone's understanding and tolerance, he will naturally get better gradually.

Of course, the best solution would be to resolve Laura's problem once and for all.

At this moment, Yifei beckoned to Wanyu: "Wanyu, isn't that Dr. Ouyang incredibly handsome?"

Wan Yu was taken aback: "Why would you ask that?"

"Because he's a psychologist."

Yifei held her hands tightly, her mind filled with unrealistic fantasies and dreams: "Aren't psychologists all mature, stable, understanding, and handsome people?"

In her inner world, Yifei imagined a handsome psychologist reaching out to her.

[The psychologist, who bears a striking resemblance to Shen Lingfeng, a wealthy businessman from Shanghai, is speaking in a gentle voice.]

Do you need help?

Whether you are feeling pain or sadness, you can come to me anytime.

Because I am your most caring therapist.

Yifei rarely showed such a lovesick expression.

"Stop." Zeng Xiaoxian's voice dispelled Yifei's fantasy.

He looked at Hu Yifei speechlessly: "How come you have such a strange fondness for a psychologist?"

"You haven't been watching too many TV dramas, have you?"

"Mind your own business!"

Yifei rolled her eyes at Xiaoxian: "You, the king of melodramas, have the nerve to say I watch too many TV dramas?"

"Yifei".

Meijia reminded them, "Be tolerant, be tolerant."

Yifei snorted, but didn't continue arguing with Zeng Xiaoxian.

However, she still stubbornly insisted, "In short, I think psychologists are all very charming."

Wanyu sat down next to Yifei: "Feifei, psychologists don't make a living based on their looks. It's normal for people to be beautiful, ugly, fat, or thin. Don't associate appearance with profession."

Yifei asked curiously, "So, what does this Dr. Ouyang look like?"

Her words immediately silenced Xiaoxian and the other three.

How should I put this?

I always feel that talking about someone's appearance behind their back is a very immoral thing to do.

After thinking for a moment, Guan Gu made a realistic assessment: "This Dr. Ouyang looks very...middle-aged."

"what?"

Yifei couldn't quite figure out what kind of evaluation it was to look middle-aged.

She frowned and pondered for a long time before tentatively guessing, "Middle-aged weight gain?"

The four of them nodded in unison.

Yifei's lips twitched slightly: "What about middle-aged bald men?"

The four nodded again.

Yifei immediately wailed, "You're not still going to have that stubble all over your face, are you?"

Her wailing could not change the cruel fact that the four of them nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Yifei covered her face with her hands, unable to bear looking at her: "If you keep asking, all my beautiful fantasies about psychologists will be shattered."

Nanfeng said, "Actually, there are handsome psychologists too. The Dr. Jason I mentioned before is quite handsome, but he's a bit effeminate."

"As a man, being effeminate is even more terrifying than being a greasy middle-aged man, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yifei looked disgusted: "It seems that real-life psychologists are indeed no match for those in TV dramas."

Guan Gu, however, had a different opinion: "The most important thing about a psychologist is their skill level. Although Dr. Ouyang looks middle-aged, he is quite witty and humorous."

He stroked his chin and said, "Moreover, Dr. Ouyang is a rather enthusiastic person, perhaps a little too enthusiastic."

"nonsense!"

Zeng Xiaoxian sat on the sofa with a resentful expression, clutching the medicine in his arms tightly, as if he were embracing the money he had already lost.

"I've spent enough money on him in the past two years to buy him a Mini Cooper. Of course, Ouyang, that money-grubbing guy, is enthusiastic when he sees me as a big fat sheep."

Zeng Xiaoxian, who wasn't particularly stingy with money, felt a pang of heartache thinking about the medical expenses he had contributed to Dr. Ouyang: "If I really went for the treatment and took the medicine as Dr. Ouyang suggested, by the time I recovered, he could have bought a convertible Z4 sports car!"

Perhaps because of his illness, he felt more and more aggrieved and heartbroken, and his emotions began to fluctuate wildly again: "I worked so hard to host the program until the middle of the night, but in the end I was just working for him and making money for him."

"You know, I drive a Xiali myself!"

Yu Mo comforted her, "Teacher Zeng, we should save where we should and spend where we should. We can't save this money."

"If you feel bad about it, then you should focus on getting better treatment and adjusting yourself so you can avoid wasting money."

Zeng Xiaoxian held his medicine with a bitter expression.

Last year, he finally received a larger year-end bonus from his boyfriend, but after buying a gift at Yifei's house, he spent all the remaining money on medical treatment.

I'm poor.

Everyone laughed when they saw Teacher Zeng's appearance.

Meijia joked, "It's only because Zhang Wei is still at school and hasn't come back yet that the two of you sitting together would look like brothers."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's lips curled down even further.

Afterwards, the group coaxed Xiaoxian to take the medicine, just like they were coaxing a child.

Wanyu asked curiously, "Teacher Zeng, how are you feeling now?"

Zeng Xiaoxian replied, "Wanyu, is it possible that I just swallowed the medicine?"

Even the most miraculous medicines don't work immediately after being swallowed, right?

"All right."

Everyone was eager to see if Zeng Xiaoxian's mental state would improve after taking the medicine, but a phone call to Zeng Xiaoxian disrupted their plans.

Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at the phone, then stole a look at Yifei, a hesitant expression on his face.

However, he eventually answered the phone.

"Hey, Laura?"

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, clearly indicating that their impression of Laura had reached its lowest point.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Zeng Xiaoxian accepted Laura's invitation, a gentle yet melancholic smile playing on his lips: "Okay, see you later."

He put down his phone and, facing the disdainful looks of the crowd, said, "You all heard it too, Laura is waiting for me, so I can't have dinner with you."

Zhanbo said anxiously, "But Teacher Zeng, Dr. Ouyang said you should stay away from external stimuli."

"I know, but I can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever."

"I can't keep hiding forever; I have to find a way to resolve the Laura issue."

Everyone was taken aback by Zeng Xiaoxian's words, clearly not expecting him to have such a thought.

Everyone just thought that Teacher Zeng had fallen into Laura's spell again.

Upon seeing this, Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "Damn, this medicine works way too fast!"

"This Dr. Ouyang is simply a miracle doctor!"

"Please, have you ever seen any medicine that works this fast?"

Zeng Xiaoxian put away his phone and said, "Although Ouyang is indeed a bit greedy, his talk therapy skills are not bad. He is much more patient than you guys."

Nanfeng just smiled when he heard this.

Of course, Dr. Ouyang charges by the hour. You're chatting while he's making money, so of course he'll have the patience to chat with you.

Xiaoxian stood up: "Anyway, I will try to resolve this matter."

He grinned at the crowd: "If all goes well, I should be back in about an hour."

"Then we'll wait for you to come back and have dinner together."

Everyone rushed forward and hugged Xiaoxian: "Teacher Zeng, keep going!"

"good!"

Encouraged by everyone, Zeng Xiaoxian left 3601 with his head held high.

then……

Half an hour passed, and everyone was still discussing what to eat for dinner after Zeng Xiaoxian returned victorious.

An hour passed, and everyone waited expectantly for the hero's return.

An hour and a half passed, and Nanfeng comforted everyone, saying that there might have been a small setback between Teacher Zeng and Laura.
