Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 336 Keeping a Secret - Tang Youyou

"don't want."

Zhanbo stubbornly shook his head: "The progress of the treatment device is already much slower than expected. If I delay the progress here, I don't know when it will be completed."

According to Xiao Hei's original estimate, the treatment device could be completed as early as August of this year.

However, theory is one thing, practice is another. When Xiao Hei and Zhan Bo joined forces to turn theory into practice, they encountered all sorts of problems in the actual operation.

At this rate, even if they were given another eight months, let alone August of this year, they might not be able to finish this task.

The only saving grace is that the problems they encountered were minor issues that could be quickly corrected and fixed. So far, Xiao Hei and Zhan Bo have not encountered any fundamental problems that would lead to their failure.

Nanfeng's condition has been steadily improving, and his check-ups in recent months have been quite good.

However, neither Xiao Hei nor Zhan Bo wanted to drag this matter out any longer.

So Zhanbo has been busy with this matter for the past two months since he returned from the Lunar New Year, and Xiao Hei has been busy since before the Lunar New Year.

Nanfeng simply couldn't bear to see Zhanbo continue with such a chaotic schedule.

"No matter what, what you need right now is rest."

He said in a deep voice, "I don't want you to be so exhausted that you have to be sent to the hospital before I've even finished treating you."

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'."

Nanfeng looked at Zhanbo: "I know what you're thinking, but these things can't be rushed."

"I may not understand these studies, but haven't you had enough problems these past few days due to lack of sleep?"

Zhanbo pouted and lowered his head unhappily.

"Zhanbo, you really need to get some rest. You can put my business on hold for now."

Zhanbo, who was always obedient, just stubbornly shook his head when he heard this: "No, this matter is very important, I can't let it go."

"Nanfeng, this time I'm not going to listen to you no matter what."

Although Nanfeng is younger than him, he has always taken on the role of an older brother, caring for and looking after Zhanbo since childhood.

She had been enjoying Nanfeng's help and care all along, but had no ability to help Nanfeng in any way.

Faced with such a pressing matter, how could he not give it his all?

Nanfeng tried to persuade him for a long time, but Zhanbo remained unmoved.

The more innocent and naive a person is like Zhanbo, the less likely they are to be swayed by external forces once they've made up their mind about something.

Perhaps this is what is meant by a childlike heart.

Nanfeng continued to persuade him, "Zhanbo, you're already struggling to take care of yourself, where would you find the time and energy to spend on this?"

"Then I'll put everything else aside. If all else fails, I'll resign and get things settled here first."

"Please don't."

Nanfeng was startled by Zhanbo's words: "If you really quit such a good job because of me, I won't be able to sleep well at night anymore. Have you forgotten that I need to keep a happy mood?"

Zhanbo lowered his head: "Actually, my desire to resign isn't just about you and your dreams."

Nanfeng was taken aback: "What other reason could there be... Oh."

He realized it instantly.

Judging from Zhanbo's appearance, what else could be the reason but Wanyu?

Nanfeng's expression was strange: "You don't mean you think you're not good enough for Wanyu because you're working for her, and you're planning to quit your job, start your own business, and acquire Lin's International Bank in ten years, do you?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhanbo is very self-aware: "If you ask me to do a technical research and development position, I will definitely have no problem. Even if I don't know how, I can learn. But if you ask me to start my own business, I definitely can't do it."

"And to acquire Lin's International Bank from scratch in ten years... I might as well just handcraft an atomic bomb."

"You scared me!"

Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were really going to go crazy for love."

He thought about it carefully and then asked Zhanbo, "So Wanyu has found her dream?"

"no."

Zhanbo shook his head: "But she has been on this path for a very long time, while I haven't even decided whether I want to set off myself."

He looked at Nanfeng: "You and my older sister both say that Wanyu and I are two children who never grow up, but if Wanyu finds her dream and works hard towards it as steadfastly as Teacher Zeng, Guangu, and Curry Sauce, doesn't that mean she has already grown up?"

The south wind nodded.

"That's why I want to grow up too."

"Then you're already on your way to growing up."

He patted Zhanbo on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Zhanbo, you must remember, you can gravitate towards Wanyu for love, but you must never lose yourself for love."

"You only live once, so never let your existence be for the sake of others."

"I know."

Zhanbo nodded: "That's what Wanyu said too."

Nanfeng chuckled and teased, "Looks like you two have had quite a few heart-to-heart talks in private."

He paused, then said helplessly, "As for Xiao Hei's situation... you have your own ideas now, and I can't persuade you otherwise."

"But no matter what, you can't overwork yourself, understand?"

"Um."

Seeing Zhanbo's beaming face, Nanfeng couldn't help but smile.

Seriously, who can be this happy doing unpaid work?

In the living room, Xiaoxian and his five friends were still arguing.

Seeing them arguing so heatedly, Zhanbo felt a little scared: "How long are they going to keep arguing? Should we try to talk them out?"

"No, they're just debating."

"We've been through so much together, how could we possibly start an argument over something so trivial?"

Nanfeng was very confident about this.

He pointed with his spoon at the five people arguing in the living room: "Even though everyone has completely different opinions on this matter, as long as you've thought it through, we will all respect your choice."

"Whether you pursue your dreams or resign to do something else, you have to think it through carefully yourself."

"I only have one request for you regarding this matter."

"What are your requirements?"

Zhanbo asked timidly.

"Once you've really thought it through, go talk to Yifei, Aunt Yuan, and Uncle Lu and get their consent."

"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no acting first and reporting later, do you understand?"

Nanfeng said calmly, "If you don't even dare to get their consent, then you shouldn't quit your job to pursue your dreams. Just focus on making money, buying a house, and picking up girls."

"All right."

Although Zhanbo, this good boy, was worried that his older sister would disagree, he had no intention of acting first and asking for her permission later.

Just thinking about persuading his stubborn older sister gave Zhanbo a huge headache.

"I hope everyone can help me talk to my sister then... Also, is it really okay for everyone to be arguing like this?"

Zhanbo confirmed this again.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not... Mika, go easy on her!"

"This is my flute, not the club you use to hit Ziqiao on the head!"

Nanfeng hurriedly opened the French windows of the balcony and rushed into the living room.

Seeing this, Zhanbo shrugged: "See? I knew it."

……

Nanfeng and Zhanbo rushed in one after the other, and it took them a while to calm Ziqiao and Meijia down.

Logically speaking, if they were simply debating about Zhanbo, it wouldn't have escalated to the point where Meijia was about to hit Ziqiao's head like a wooden fish.

But what can you do when the two of them have a personal grudge?

Nanfeng, who successfully mediated the argument, criticized Meijia and Ziqiao: "Why are you two dredging up old grievances when you're just debating?"

They both said in unison, "I didn't want to either, it's all his/her fault!"

"Damn it, you have the nerve to blame me!"

"Damn it, you have the nerve to blame me!"

They all spoke up again, as if by prior agreement.

"Chen Meijia/Lu Ziqiao!"

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

Youyou and Guangu were amazed by the two's perfect teamwork: "You two are so in sync!"

"Who has the same chemistry with him/her?"

"We really don't!"

Meijia and Ziqiao looked at each other simultaneously, gritting their teeth and saying, "Don't follow my example!"

"Who copied you!"

"Depend on!"

Zeng Xiaoxian clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Young heroes, please stop your supernatural powers."

"snort!"

The two turned their heads away, unwilling to acknowledge each other any longer.

The simple-minded Zhanbo felt very apologetic: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Ziqiao and Meijia wouldn't have argued like this."

Guangu comforted Zhanbo: "This has nothing to do with you. Ziqiao and Meijia also often quarrel in 3602."

Nanfeng nodded: "The two of them have a small argument every day and a big argument every three days. It's all thanks to Ziqiao being away from the apartment all the time, otherwise our apartment would be completely unsettled."

"All right."

Zhanbo calmed down Meijia and Ziqiao, who were still angry, for a while. Then he took out his phone and checked the time: "Nanfeng, I arranged to meet Xiaohei at nine o'clock, so I'll be going now."

Nanfeng reminded him, "Don't forget what you promised me."

"must."

As Zhanbo spoke, he prepared to rush downstairs. He instructed everyone, "By the way, you must keep this a secret for me. Don't tell my older sister about this."

"rest assured."

Youyou patted her chest and assured Yifei, "I'm very tight-lipped. I absolutely won't tell Yifei that you're planning to quit your job to pursue your dreams."

"What?! Zhanbo's planning to quit his job to pursue his dreams?!"

The scene shifts, and Yifei, returning home from get off work in the evening, looks at Youyou in shock upon hearing the news.

I'm coming
