Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 323 Xiaoxian's Big Military Review

Wanyu asked curiously, "Ziqiao, will Laura really sprain her ankle like you imagine, and then cry and beg Teacher Zeng to stay?"

"How is that possible?"

Without hesitation, Ziqiao replied, "It's just for dramatic tension. Don't you think this way of portraying Laura's attempt to keep him is more conflicting and better highlights Xiaoxian's determination?"

"I just think that in your imagination, Laura and I are like a pair of idiots!"

Zhanbo looked at Ziqiao: "Then what was the point of all those nonsensical things Teacher Zeng said at the bar entrance?"

"This highlights the main theme and elevates the overall message!"

Ziqiao said with great interest, "My aunt taught me this. She said that TV dramas these days like to elevate the theme every now and then."

"It's like no matter how bad a TV series is, as long as the theme is elevated, it becomes an excellent series that cannot tolerate any criticism."

"Anyone who dares to question it has poor taste and doesn't understand the core of this show."

He said smugly, "I only recently discovered that I have a talent for screenwriting. Who knows, I might become the godfather of romance dramas in the future."

"Give me a break," Zeng Xiaoxian scoffed. "You barely know any words, and your messages are full of typos. You think you can be a screenwriter?"

"At least I still dare to dream."

Ziqiao asked Zhanbo with a grin, "Zhanbo, what is your dream?"

"Don't say things like discovering aliens or finding the source of fire—those are just ridiculous dreams. We need realistic dreams."

Zhanbo was stunned, and he stammered for a long time without being able to say a word.

What is my dream...?

Ziqiao smiled smugly: "Teacher Zeng, you see, people with dreams are always better than people who don't even think about it."

Zhanbo fell into deep thought, but Yifei waved her hand and said, "Ziqiao, let's put dreams aside for now. There's something I really want to ask you."

She looked at Ziqiao with a smile, her tone gentle yet deadly: "That blurry woman standing in the sunlight just now, the way you described her measurements sounds so familiar, doesn't it?"

"Coincidence! Pure coincidence!"

"Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental!"

Ziqiao waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You know, I see so many beautiful women every day and remember so many measurements, I can't possibly remember which one is which."

"hehe."

Yifei sneered, "That had to be the case."

Xiao Xian's face was extremely pale at this moment, just as pale as when they tasted Fei's innovative cuisine.

"Then why did you make me bow and scrape to Joey like a lackey in the end?"

Ziqiao slapped his thigh and chuckled, "That's a plot twist! Auntie said that plot twists are essential for ratings and effectiveness."

"How was that? Wasn't my final twist brilliant? Doesn't it make you seem much more down-to-earth now?"

"Down-to-earth? You almost sent me to the underworld!"

Zeng Xiaoxian clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Please, Ziqiao, your fantasies are just too outrageous."

"Please, please, never become a screenwriter or novelist in your life, otherwise your audience and readers will be utterly shocked!"

"Teacher Zeng, it's obvious you've watched too many melodramas. You don't know how to appreciate my work. Look at Wanyu, she really likes it."

Wan Yu nodded repeatedly; she liked things that were unexpected.

"cut."

Zeng Xiaoxian pouted.

Ziqiao urged, "My lord, after all that complaining, what do you think of my best strategy?"

What do you think?

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes and said, "If I could refuse so firmly, would I need to ask you, my strategist, for advice?"

"How did I become a strategist?"

Ziqiao protested, "Teacher Zeng, what does your own incompetence have to do with my best strategy?"

Yifei nodded in agreement, saying, "I also think Ziqiao's strategy is excellent. It's simple, direct, and solves the problem once and for all."

"Even the best plan is useless if it can't be used."

Xiao Xian said resentfully, "As you all know, I'm not good at refusing, let alone refusing like this."

"Besides, I just agreed to be friends with Laura last night, so you can all consider this my breaking up with her today... It's embarrassing for me to go back on my word."

Upon hearing this, Yifei kicked Zeng Xiaoxian viciously.

【What kind of time is this? This guy is still worried about saving face?】

I can clearly tell you still have feelings for Laura.

"hiss……"

Zeng Xiaoxian covered his feet, feeling angry but unable to speak out.

"In short, this method definitely won't work; it's too difficult for me to implement."

"Strategist Bu, do you have any ideas that might work for me?"

"There is a solution that suits you..."

Ziqiao was about to snap his fingers again when Zeng Xiaoxian quickly stopped him: "Elder Lü, please stop your supernatural powers. Your fantasies are just too outrageous."

"All right."

Ziqiao continued, "If we're talking about the best option for you, then it's the worst one."

"Since you're too embarrassed to directly refuse Laura, why don't you just ask for a long leave from the station and run away?"

"Go away and lay low for ten days or half a month until she loses interest in you, then come back."

Xiaoxian's eyes lit up: "Great idea! I still have a ton of unused annual leave."

"What a terrible idea!"

Yifei said irritably, "Do you think the TV station is your family's property? You take such a long leave for no reason. Do you think the station won't find someone to replace you?"

"What if your substitute performs better than you? You're doomed!"

"Your Moon, My Heart, this midnight horror show is fine as long as no one's competing with you, but you don't even want your 'Dear Hyun' anymore?"

Wanyu also advised, "Teacher Zeng, you can run away, but you can't hide. What if Laura launches a surprise attack when you come back? Wouldn't you have to run away again?"

"yes."

Zeng Xiaoxian realized what was going on and angrily scolded Ziqiao, "Ziqiao, look at the terrible idea you came up with!"

Ziqiao shrugged nonchalantly: "Otherwise, why would this be considered a poor choice?"

Xiao Xian snorted and said, "I've figured it out. Of the three strategies you strategists talk about, the middle one is actually the only one that's actually usable."

"Tell me quickly, what is the middle strategy?"

"The middle strategy is even simpler."

Ziqiao said slowly, "Although I don't understand why Laura insists on hunting down your old flame, wouldn't it all be solved if you just found a girlfriend?"

"Find a girlfriend? Now?"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked troubled and said, "Where am I supposed to find a girlfriend in such a short time?"

"Besides, it would be too unfair to a girl to specifically find a girlfriend for something like this."

Everyone was utterly speechless.

Even Zhanbo understood what Ziqiao meant this time: "Teacher Zeng, what Ziqiao means is that you should find a girl to pretend to be your girlfriend to deal with Laura, just like last time you pretended to be my sister's boyfriend to deal with my parents."

"A fake girlfriend?"

Zeng Xiaoxian subconsciously looked at Yifei, and then a fawning and obsequious smile appeared on his face, just like the one in Ziqiao's illusion.

Yifei snorted and started acting arrogant again.

"Wanyu, save me."

Unexpectedly, Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly turned to Wan Yu for help.

Hu Yifei: "..."

Wan Yu immediately refused: "No, I can't."

"Why? Didn't you pretend to be Zhanbo's girlfriend before?"

Zeng Xiaoxian clasped his hands together and pleaded pitifully, "Wanyu, please help me. My situation this time is much more serious than Zhanbo's."

Although Wan Yu really wanted to help Zeng Xiaoxian, she still refused with a dry laugh: "Teacher Zeng, Zhanbo was facing Zhao Wuliang, who was just as innocent as him, but this time you are facing a cunning and scheming woman like Ziqiao. I really don't have the confidence to deal with Laura."

"If Laura finds out, I'll have ruined you."

Wan Yu waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't handle it."

She pointed to Yifei beside her: "Why don't you let Yifei do it? She has a strong enough presence and can definitely suppress Laura."

Yifei snorted arrogantly, "Don't come looking for me. I don't want to get involved in this mess, lest people think I'm blind."

Although Yifei is sharp-tongued, she knows that the situation is extremely urgent.

If Zeng Xiaoxian could bow his head and give her a way out as usual, he wouldn't necessarily be unwilling to help this wretched woman escape her misery.

"What should we do then...?"

As a result, Zeng Xiaoxian took her refusal as his own, and now even if she wanted to help, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Xiao Xian rubbed his chin and began to think. Normally, Youyou should be the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing, but she is still filming.

The remaining girls in the apartment...

"Oh, right!"

Zeng Xiaoxian slapped his thigh, as if he had found a lifeline: "I can go find Yu Mo."

"Oh."

Yifei chuckled softly, "You're disappointed, Yu Mo can't act at all."

She smiled and revealed Yu Mo's secret: "Her only performance record is that she acted in the play 'The Flower Fairy' in high school. Guess what she played?"

Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated before answering, "The Flower Fairy?"

Have you ever seen a flower fairy who weighs 180 pounds?

Yifei revealed the answer: "She plays a flower."

Everyone was stunned.

Zeng Xiaoxian's lips twitched uncontrollably: "I've certainly never seen a 180-pound flower fairy, but I've also never seen a 180-pound flower!"

Yifei shrugged and said, "So she plays the tyrannical man-eating flower."

She continued, "Besides, I know Yu Mo's personality very well."

"If you ask Yu Mo for other favors, she will definitely help you, but don't even think about asking her to pretend to be your girlfriend now."

If Yu Mo were to agree to pretend to be a couple with Zeng Xiaoxian in front of Nan Feng, she would have to be crazy.

"Then Meijia will do."

Zeng Xiaoxian decisively said, "Meijia is a woman of the martial arts world, she doesn't care about trivial matters, she will definitely be willing to help me with this."

"Besides, she's someone who's been through the wringer, so she should be able to handle Laura."

"Yes, it's Mika!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was about to get up and go to room 3602 to ask Meijia for help.

"Feed..."

Ziqiao shouted, his face full of displeasure, "You can't be a brother like this!"

"What? You and Mika are just exes. Even if she finds a boyfriend, it's none of your business. What's wrong with having her act in my play?"

Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow mischievously and said, "Are you jealous?"

Ziqiao looked up dismissively: "Me? Jealous of Chen Meijia?"

"How is that possible!"

"Then why don't you agree to let Mika pretend to be my girlfriend? Are you afraid that Laura will hurt her?"

"I'm afraid Mika will hurt me."

Ziqiao's eyes flickered slightly. He shrank back and trembled as he said, "I'm afraid that if Meijia were to be your girlfriend and face Laura directly, it would remind her of some bad memories."

"Do you think someone will be unlucky then?"

He looked at Zeng Xiaoxian: "Teacher Zeng, please let me have a few days of peace and quiet, considering I helped you come up with the idea."

"Alright," Zeng Xiaoxian sighed helplessly.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Meijia was the best choice. She had good acting skills, strong adaptability, and wouldn't add unnecessary scenes like Youyou.

But he couldn't possibly betray Ziqiao, who had given him the idea, just for his own sake.

"That means no one can use the apartment anymore."

Zeng Xiaoxian, as a last resort, suggested, "How about... curry sauce?"

"abnormal!!!"

Everyone said in unison.

I'm coming
