Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 321 Strategist Xiao Bu

"...That's how it is."

Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged and said, "Although the plan had a slight mishap, overall it's still within Brother Xian's plan."

Yifei clapped her hands in a mock manner and said, "You mean you originally planned to say goodbye to Laura completely, but after she played the victim and fooled you, you two reconciled and became friends?"

"And then you spend time with this so-called friend, eating, drinking, chatting, having fun, until she gets drunk and you can't take her back to her hotel, so you have to bring her home?"

She slammed her hand on the table: "You call this still in the planning stages?"

Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged and said, "Otherwise what?"

"I stuck to my principles, I didn't make any mistakes, I just ate dinner with her out of politeness, so this matter has already been perfectly resolved."

"You, you're a complete idiot!"

Yifei looked helpless and nudged Ziqiao: "I'm too lazy to waste my breath on this idiot. You do the talking."

Out of respect for Zeng Xiaoxian's bacon today, Ziqiao put down his knife and fork and mercifully offered a suggestion: "Teacher Zeng, do you think someone like Laura, who is so independent and resourceful, would lack friends?"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked confused: "Don't you need any?"

What do you think?

Ziqiao rolled his eyes at Zeng Xiaoxian: "Even if we take a step back and assume that someone is short of friends, there's no need for them to go back to you as a friend."

Zeng Xiaoxian retorted, "Well, maybe it's just my brother Xian's personal charm shining through?"

"If your personal charm is really that dazzling, then why did she cheat on you before? It couldn't be that she just enjoys being cuckolded, could it?"

He was speechless.

"Xiaoxian, I am quite disappointed in you."

Ziqiao shook his head and sighed, "We've known each other for so long, yet you haven't made any progress in your understanding of romantic relationships."

"What a waste of all the care and effort I've put into nurturing you."

Zeng Xiaoxian smirked, "You always ask me to be your wingman to pick up girls, but when have you ever taught me even a single trick?"

"You don't understand. There are many intricacies involved in being a qualified wingman."

"It's because you always claim to be a good man and absolutely refuse to be my wingman, otherwise you wouldn't have missed such a simple trick."

Yifei shouted indignantly, "I asked you to explain to him, not for you to shift the blame between each other."

"Speak quickly!"

"Right away, right away!"

Ziqiao continued to explain: "According to my estimation, Laura saw your firm attitude and aggressive demeanor last night, and she couldn't figure out why your attitude was so different from before. She also couldn't understand how you, who are usually so spineless, had suddenly become a little tougher."

"That's why Laura has to avoid their sharp edge and be patient for now."

He paused, allowing Zeng Xiaoxian's single-line CPU to process what he had just said in time: "So she first played the victim and flattered you, seemingly trying to get your forgiveness, but in reality she was using softness to overcome hardness, waiting for the right moment to wear down your tough attitude."

"Once your attitude softens, test your bottom line as a friend."

"But you just don't have any bottom line, and you actually agreed to be friends with her."

Have you ever seen a couple who have been cheated on remain friends?

Everyone looked at Ziqiao with strange expressions, and Zhanbo muttered softly, "We have actually seen this before."

Although Ziqiao and Meijia have already confessed to everyone that they were ex-lovers with an on-again, off-again relationship before moving into the Love Apartment, and that they were just pretending to be a couple to get benefits when they moved into the apartment.

The problem is that their previous breakups and reconciliations were all due to Zi Qiao's dishonesty, or simply abandoning Mei Jia and disappearing without a trace.

In terms of nature, what Ziqiao did to Meijia was not much better than what Laura did to Xiaoxian.

As a result, although they seem to be arguing a bit now, their relationship is actually quite good.

This is truly bizarre.

Ziqiao instantly understood what these guys were thinking. He waved his hand dismissively, saying, "My situation with Meijia is complicated and is an isolated case, not relevant to this discussion!"

His on-again, off-again relationship with Meijia is not as simple as that of Laura and Teacher Zeng.

Thinking of all this, Ziqiao let out a sigh of frustration, his voice becoming low and deep: "In short, this Laura deceived you so badly, and you can still forgive her, so of course she will be even more unscrupulous in testing your bottom line."

"Although it sounds like a beast, in the circle of scumbags, what everyone likes most is a soft-hearted, passive person like you who is not good at saying no to others."

There's a saying: "To refuse someone who is not firm in their decision-making is to be firm in your decision-making."

"The Sea King and Sea Queen aren't afraid of how rational you are, they're afraid you won't give them a chance."

"If you keep giving her chances, we have plenty of ways to make you act irrationally."

"Not to mention, Teacher Zeng, your level of rationality is already limited, and Laura knows almost everything about you."

He concluded with certainty, "I think it's only a matter of time before this so-called 'pure' friendship between you and Laura is broken through."

"If Laura hadn't been so confused about why your attitude had changed so drastically, you probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for even one night."

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled awkwardly, "It can't be that bad, can it?"

Xiao Xian originally thought the matter was resolved, but Zi Qiao's words made him feel uneasy.

"It can't be that bad?"

Ziqiao raised an eyebrow: "You two have only just put aside your differences and become friends, and you're already eating, chatting, drinking, and having fun. The only thing missing is kissing and sleeping together."

"If things continue like this, what will become of us?"

He smiled dismissively: "And there are countless ways to make you, Zeng Xiaoxian, fall for me."

Ziqiao casually gave an example: "For instance, when Laura comes back later, she might suddenly tell you that no matter how much she tries to persuade Paul, he keeps pestering her and even goes to her hotel and workplace to block her out."

"She really has no other choice. You're the only friend she can trust in Shanghai. She can only stay at your apartment for a while. Will you, being the kind-hearted person you are, agree?"

"Forehead……"

Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated: "I should probably verify the authenticity of this matter first."

"Don't worry, as long as you investigate, it's 100% true."

Ziqiao couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Zeng Xiaoxian as if he were looking at an innocent child.

"So if she's crying and begging you pitifully, would you let her stay for a while?"

"If you soften your heart and let Laura stay, then it will be up to her to decide when to move out."

"this……"

Zeng Xiaoxian thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "I've got it! I can move to the guest room in room 3603 first, then we can keep to ourselves."

"If Laura waits for you to come back from your night shift and specifically watches over you, saying there are cockroaches in your room and she's terrified, but she's too embarrassed to bother anyone else, so she can only wait for you to come home from get off work and go to your bedroom to kill them for her, are you going or not?"

"impossible!"

Zeng Xiaoxian said firmly, "How could there be cockroaches in my room, which is so clean!"

"But they just say they do, what can you do? Just tell them if you're going or not."

Zeng Xiaoxian fell silent once again.

"snort."

Yifei looked disdainful.

"And even if you move to Nanfeng, you can't possibly move all your clothes there."

"Someone as clean as you will eventually have to go back to your room to get your clothes. At that time, she can just dress a little revealing and then seduce you a little."

"You two have been in love for eight years, young people. Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, once you've tasted the sweetness, don't you want to revisit the places you've been?"

"Alas……"

Yifei and Wanyu felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Zeng Xiaoxian's lips twitched slightly. He wanted to say that he and Laura had never had a physical relationship, but in the end, he remained silent.

In the end, he could only explain, "I have a mental obsession with cleanliness, as you all know."

Before Ziqiao could even refute her, Yifei sarcastically remarked, "Your obsession with 'mental purity' ceased to exist the moment you uttered that ultimate dream of every man yesterday morning."

Zhanbo asked curiously, "What does that mean?"

Wan Yu suppressed a laugh and whispered to Zhan Bo, "If you don't have the three words 'mental cleanliness,' then you're just left with 'obsession.'"

"All that's left is a fart?"

Zhanbo understood now.

Ziqiao shrugged: "Teacher Zeng, you can't even handle such a simple move, let alone what will happen later."

"Besides, the methods I just mentioned are already considered slow. Given Laura's understanding of you, and considering your passive nature, I think Laura will definitely use some simpler and more direct methods."

"Teacher Zeng, if you can keep this up for a week, I'll consider you a winner."

"What should we do then?"

Having regained his senses after taking the medicine, Zeng Xiaoxian clearly no longer thought being with Laura was a good idea. He gripped Ziqiao's hand tightly and pleaded for help, "Strategist Xiaobu, save me."

Ziqiao looked troubled: "In the world of martial arts, it's all about using your own methods in matters of the heart."

"You are Laura's prey now, and I cannot interfere. Saying so much to you today would be breaking the rules."

"Ziqiao, we're good brothers, you can't just stand by and watch someone die."

It was indeed inconvenient for Lu Ziqiao to intervene this time. Just as he could sense that Laura was one of his own kind, Laura must have sensed him as well.

The king and queen of the sea should not disturb each other; this is an unspoken rule that playboys must abide by.

If he helps Teacher Zeng escape Laura's hunt, he'll have a hard time surviving in the underworld of Shanghai.

Is it necessary for him to cause trouble for Zeng Xiaoxian?

Faced with Zeng Xiaoxian's pitiful gaze, Ziqiao released Zeng Xiaoxian's hand with a look of disgust.

"Alright, alright, consider this repayment for the favor I owed you when the four major factions besieged Love Apartment last time."

Damn, when you're in this business, loyalty comes first. So what if you break the rules?

[No rule in the martial arts world is more important than brotherhood.]

Then Ziqiao held up three fingers: "I have three strategies, the best, the middle, and the worst, that can solve your troubles."

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly handed Ziqiao a glass of water: "Strategist, please speak."
