Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 36 Wanyu's Growth

"I'm tired. I don't want to wander the world anymore."

Mika murmured softly, her voice like a cloud weary of its wandering.

"As you know, I started out in the world a long time ago. Over the years, I've handed out flyers, set up stalls, washed dishes, worked as a receptionist, and even participated in a girl group for a while."

"I've changed jobs many, many places, and lived in many, many houses, but to me they're all the same."

"Work is all about making money. I've been to so many places, but I'm not very educated. Other people take pictures and write travel reflections, but all I can do is yell and scream."

"As for the house I live in, it goes without saying that no matter how good or bad the conditions are, it's just a house. If there's a better house available, I can pack my bags and leave without any hesitation."

"I'm like a kite with a broken string. I drift whichever way the wind blows, rest on whichever tree I land on, and then wait for the next gust of wind to blow me away again."

"Ziqiao, I don't want to live this drifting life anymore. I want to stop."

Ziqiao opened and closed his mouth again and again, but still couldn't utter a single word.

He knew that Meijia's idea was right, and he had hoped countless times that Meijia could find a place where she could settle down and live a good life.

But when she finally found such a place, besides feeling relieved, she also felt a lot of inexplicable emotions.

An unprecedented sense of panic welled up inside me, turning into a monstrous wave that threatened to engulf this bird without feet.

"Let's talk about this after I get caught. Um... I just remembered I had an appointment with a beautiful girl. I'm leaving now."

"Tomorrow, I'll definitely stay and do the housework!"

Yes, he ran away again. At this point, Ziqiao could no longer distinguish whether running away from problems was the best rational choice or a decision made instinctively.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've run away, so what's the harm in running away again?

Let's wait a little longer, until I'm ready, until I figure out how to face it, until I...

Wait……

Ziqiao didn't know what he was waiting for.

Meijia looked up at Ziqiao's retreating figure, which could be described as a hasty escape, and chuckled as if she hadn't expected it.

And with that smile, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.

……

In the living room of apartment 3601, Zeng Xiaoxian, dressed impeccably, sat on the sofa, drenched in sweat.

"Are you ready? If you are, let's continue," Nanfeng asked.

He nervously straightened his tie, his mouth dry, and asked, "Can I go to the restroom again?"

"Teacher Zeng, you've been to the toilet three times in the last five minutes." Nanfeng refused with a serious expression. "Unless you tell me that you're not actually nervous but have a kidney problem, then I'll ask you to go to Ziqiao and get a few more bottles of kidney tonic."

"Okay, I'll try my best to hold it in," Zeng Xiaoxian said, but he still couldn't help moving his legs.

"Don't move your legs. Do you think you're still broadcasting a radio program, twisting them however you want?"

Just as Nanfeng was correcting Xiaoxian's every move, Wanyu pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hi, Teacher Zeng, Nanfeng. What are you doing?"

Wan Yu pointed to the cameras that were halfway around the sofa in the living room and asked.

Nanfeng sighed: "We were chatting at the bar just now, and I joked with Teacher Zeng, saying that he might be so nervous during his audition that he even misread the camera indicator light."

"He then asked me what the lens indicator light was."

"So I did a little testing and found that he not only didn't know what an indicator light was, but he also forgot how to speak when he saw the camera."

Wan Yu looked incredulous: "No way, so Teacher Zeng didn't have to show his face on the radio show before... Oh right, radio shows don't require showing your face."

Zeng Xiaoxian: ...

"I originally thought that since Lisa had already let him audition, as long as Teacher Zeng didn't cause any problems, this position would basically be his."

"As a result, with only three days left before the audition, I discovered that he also had camera phobia."

Nanfeng couldn't understand: "Didn't you tell me you were the school's broadcasting whiz and top host from elementary school all the way to university? How come you panic when you see a camera?"

"The school's hosts only need to stand on the stage and face the audience; they don't need to switch cameras like you described. Besides, the camera was so far away then, unlike now, where the camera is practically right in my face."

Zeng Xiaoxian also felt very wronged. As a bottom-ranked radio host, he was usually too busy with his own program, and he never expected that TV recording would be so deadly.

Nanfeng wanted to say something more, but seeing Zeng Xiaoxian drenched in sweat, she couldn't bear to say more: "Alright, let's stop here for today. Teacher Zeng, please move the equipment to your room later and try to overcome your fear of the camera when you're alone tonight. We'll continue tomorrow."

He turned to look at Wanyu, who was smiling awkwardly: "Wanyu, is there something you need our help with?"

"How did you know?" Wanyu exclaimed in surprise.

Relaxed, Xiao Xian chuckled mischievously, "Because you look exactly like Hu Yifei right now. Every time she wants to ask us for help but is too embarrassed to ask, she smiles like this, her smile is stiffer than the zombies in Mawangdui."

"Huh?" Wanyu quickly pulled out a small mirror from her pocket and looked at her face. "No way..."

"Alright, Teacher Zeng was just teasing you," Nanfeng laughed. "But he was right about one thing: he wouldn't have laughed so hard if it was just asking us to help with a small favor."

"So, Wanyu, is there something you're embarrassed to ask for help with?"

Wan Yu smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I wanted to borrow your Taobao account for a bit."

"Taobao, you want to buy something? Why don't you just register your own account?"

"However, it takes about three days to verify the seller's identity information."

"What does it matter? You're not in a rush these few days anyway... You're not really that anxious, are you?" Zeng Xiaoxian snapped out of his daze. "Wanyu, are you... short of money?"

Wan Yu nodded emphatically: "Actually, I'm waiting for the money to pay the rent."

"No way." Zeng Xiaoxian said in disbelief, "Your family is a Fortune 500 company. If your dad agrees, Love Apartment will have to be renamed Wanyu Wonderful House tomorrow morning."

Nanfeng patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder: "How come your memory is worse than mine? Wanyu ran away from home, how could she possibly ask her father for money?"

Wanyu lowered her head: "I don't have enough money with me right now, my card has been frozen by my dad, and the rent is due the day after tomorrow. I really don't have enough time."

Xiaoxian realized the seriousness of the problem: "This is indeed quite troublesome, but since you have difficulties, you can tell everyone. We'll help you find a solution together. If all else fails, I can cover your expenses for a month or two without any problem."

“Eh…”

Is this the only chance I'll ever have in my life to lend money to a capitalist's daughter?

However, Wanyu insisted: "I just don't want to trouble everyone. Everyone has already helped me a lot. I should learn to overcome some small difficulties on my own."

"As long as I resolve this month's issue, I'm sure I can find a job next month."

Nanfeng and Xiaoxian exchanged a glance, and neither of them tried to stop the little girl's stubbornness.

In fact, just as Wanyu said, the person who received the most help from everyone during these three months was not the underage Curry Sauce who had started out at a young age, nor the dim-witted Lu Zhanbo, but the rich young lady in front of him who knew nothing.

First of all, Wan Yu's abilities are definitely outstanding, but being outstanding does not mean that she does not need help.

It's hard to imagine that anyone in this day and age doesn't know how to shop online, but when you think about how others have used custom-made luxury goods since they were young, it suddenly makes sense.

In fact, the biggest help people gave this little girl was to help her come down from the clouds quickly and smoothly.

At least make her understand that not all shopping malls offer home delivery services, and not all cake delivery staff are tall, handsome men. You can bargain at any market, no matter where you are.

Not to mention more detailed instructions such as how to sweep the floor, how not to wash light-colored clothes with dark-colored clothes, and how to dry and fold clothes to avoid wrinkles.

These are things that Wan Yu's world didn't need to know, but since she made the choice to escape and make her way in the world, these are the things she has to face.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to have such a group of meddlesome and kind-hearted people around her helping her.

But it is clear that Wanyu still has a lot to learn.

For example, right now, Nanfeng's face turned ashen when he saw Wanyu's plan to sell the Transformers online.

Just to clarify, I haven't skipped anything. It's just that I'm a bit disoriented and my thoughts are a mess because I haven't signed a contract yet. For now, I'll only update once a day. I need to think carefully about the direction I should take next. Feel free to give me some suggestions. I can't guarantee more or less, but I'll try my best to be here every day.
