Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 376 Practice Makes Perfect

"South Wind, are you there?"

With a nervous heart, Zeng Xiaoxian gently knocked on the door of room 3603 and asked softly.

"I'm here," Nanfeng's calm voice came from inside the door.

For some reason, Zeng Xiaoxian always felt that Nanfeng's seemingly calm voice was full of mechanical and numbness.

Just as Xiaoxian was about to speak to Nanfeng about something he wanted to discuss, Nanfeng, who was inside the door, spoke up.

"Okay, Teacher Zeng, please wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned when he heard this.

it is good?

What's so good about it?

Did I just speak?

Before he could think any further, Nanfeng had already opened the door.

"Holy crap, what are you doing...?"

"You're smiling like a hostess, aren't you?"

Nanfeng's face remained completely expressionless except for a warm and polite smile: "Isn't it because I'm happy to see you so late at night?"

For some reason, Zeng Xiaoxian's already uneasy heart became even more pounding.

Xiao Xian felt that Nan Feng's gaze was a bit strange. It wasn't a look of surprise that he had come to see him quietly late at night, nor was it a look of disdain that came from someone who had guessed his purpose.

How can I describe the look in Nanfeng's eyes right now?

This feeling... is like you're playing a game you've already completed countless times, and now you're frantically pressing buttons to skip through the story.

Just then, several strange noises came from 3603.

Just as Xiaoxian was about to ask what the sound was, Nanfeng explained, "There's no one else in the suite except me. If there's any noise, it must be because my computer's sound wasn't turned off."

He opened the door wide: "Teacher Zeng, please come in first."

Zeng Xiaoxian: "...Okay."

This feels increasingly off!

He instinctively felt that things were starting to go wrong, but since he was already there and Nanfeng had opened the door, he felt embarrassed to just turn around and run away.

I'm not the kind of person who gives up halfway (except for confessing to Yifei)!

So Xiaoxian crouched down and tiptoed in, his first thought being to run towards the balcony.

What I'm about to do is rather shameful, so I absolutely mustn't let anyone find out.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to close the balcony door of 3603 and pull down the curtains first.

Just as Xiaoxian started running, Nanfeng went to the refrigerator to get lemonade and said casually, "The curtains on the balcony are already drawn. I think I have a slight cold tonight, so I can't be exposed to the wind."

"what?"

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly stopped and almost lost his balance.

"Oh……"

Xiaoxian smiled awkwardly.

"Teacher Zeng, please sit down first. I'm getting you some lemon water."

"……good."

Zeng Xiaoxian sat down with an awkward smile. He was already nervous and uneasy, but Nanfeng's actions made him even more nervous.

His gaze darted around 3603 with a hint of unease, and soon it settled on the pile of Zhang Wei's private collection on the coffee table.

After all, this messy pile of things was too conspicuous and eye-catching in the otherwise clean and tidy 3603.

Just as he was about to look through the things on the coffee table to distract himself, Nanfeng handed him a glass of lemonade.

"This is the trash I just sorted out and was about to throw away."

"Teacher Zeng, there's no need for you to put these things in a trash bag and take them with you later. I'll clean them up myself."

Here, your lemonade.

"……good."

[In his inner world, Zeng Xiaoxian clutched his chest and asked in confusion.]

Did I not say what was really on my mind just now?

[No, really?]

Could it be that... Nanfeng's super hearing has evolved to the level of mind reading?

"Teacher Zeng, I think we can still try to believe in science."

Nanfeng shrugged and said, "If there were no special abilities in this world, my super hearing would never evolve to the level of mind reading."

"You can rest assured about that."

"Don't worry, of course I'm not worried..." Zeng Xiaoxian squinted and waved his hand with a smile.

【I'm not at all relieved!】

The way you're describing it makes it sound more like mind reading, doesn't it?

He took a few sips of the lemonade that Nanfeng handed him, and was about to put it on the coffee table to get down to business when he saw a cup of lemon tea and three cups of lemonade on the coffee table that hadn't been drunk much.

"I just tried making lemon tea with lemon water of different concentrations, and what you see here are the experimental samples."

Nanfeng's explanations are always a step ahead of Zeng Xiaoxian's questions.

"……oh."

Zeng Xiaoxian took a deep breath and gradually began to get used to Nanfeng's strange behavior tonight.

After all, people should still believe in science. How could there possibly be superpowers in this world?

And if you think about it carefully, even if Nanfeng really does have mind-reading abilities, so what?

Anyway, given Nanfeng's personality, she wouldn't do anything outrageous using her mind-reading ability. So let her use mind-reading.

He let out a long breath and prepared to talk to Nanfeng about serious matters.

"Very good, it seems you've figured it out, Teacher Zeng."

Nanfeng plopped down opposite Xiaoxian and gestured to him, "So let's get straight to the point. What's your reason for coming here to try and get in through the back door?"

Zeng Xiaoxian: "..."

Well, it seems I still can't accept such a sinister thing as mind reading.

Apart from the first sentence I said when I knocked on the door, I haven't uttered a single complete sentence since I opened the door!

He is now increasingly suspicious that Nanfeng may have mind-reading abilities.

Moreover, this guy must have only recently acquired the ability to read minds, otherwise he wouldn't be showing off like this, not letting anyone say a word!

"I'll say it again, I don't have mind-reading abilities."

Nanfeng reminded him, "And don't make me guess why you came here to use the back door. I told you I can't read minds."

Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Suddenly, Nanfeng took out his phone and checked the time: "Just a heads up, I suspect you don't have much time left."

"what?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face instantly drained of all color, turning deathly pale.

His whole body began to tremble slightly, and all the energy in his eyes vanished instantly: "You mean, I, I, I... I'm about to die?!"

Nanfeng's calm expression finally crumbled: "What are you thinking? I meant you don't have much time left to talk to me!"

"cut."

Zeng Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Nanfeng reproachfully: "Why didn't you say so earlier? You scared my heart almost to death!"

Nanfeng looked at Zeng Xiaoxian's delicate pinky finger gesture and leaned back with obvious disdain.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, if you have something to say, say it; if you have something to say, spit it out!"

"If you dare to disgust me again, believe me, I'll just grab a broom and kick you out!"

Faced with Nanfeng's disdain, he didn't get angry but laughed instead: "This feels right."

He was terrified by Nanfeng's almost mind-reading demeanor just now; Nanfeng now seemed like a normal person.

He leaned closer to Nanfeng and smiled obsequiously, "Nanfeng, it's really not that I wanted to pull strings or use connections; it's just that Hu Yifei's ideas are terrible."

Nanfeng asked curiously, "How bad is it?"

"Rotten, utterly rotten, extremely, exceptionally, inhumanly, horribly rotten!"

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Xiaoxian complained to Nanfeng for about ten minutes about the disagreements and countless arguments he and Yifei had had throughout the day.

The south wind's assessment of this is...

"Your ideas and creativity are truly uniquely bad, equally brilliant, and each has its own merits."

He clapped his hands and exclaimed in admiration, "I've been thinking about this for ages, but I still can't figure out which of you two is worse."

"Hello!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face darkened upon hearing this: "Do you have to insult me like that?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Nanfeng laughed and said, "And please be a little more polite when you speak to me. Is this the attitude and tone someone who uses connections and back channels should have?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

He bowed his head and admitted defeat without hesitation.

Nanfeng sighed: "Actually, I still prefer your unruly attitude from earlier."

Xiaoxian: "..."

I have a swear word I'm not sure if I should say.

【you#@***……】

Although he was very unhappy with Nanfeng's teasing, he was now under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow his head.

He massaged Nanfeng's arms while smiling ingratiatingly, his tone and actions befitting a seasoned sycophant.

"Nanfeng, actually my brother Xian is a person who respects the rules of the game very much."

"I'm not after the consolation prize of a month's rent and utilities being waived after I get to the voting stage."

"But I'm a host, a public figure."

"When I was hosting 'Your Moon, My Heart' the night before last, I told the audience that I was going to participate in this competition. If our 3601 entry video doesn't even pass the preliminary round, my brother Xian will lose face."

"My public image is very important."

He clasped his hands together and prayed, "South wind..."

"Teacher Zeng, I really want to help you too."

Nanfeng sighed, shrugged, and said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It's a pity you don't have enough time."

The next moment, there was another knock on the door of room 3603.

"South Wind, are you there?"

Zeng Xiaoxian panicked immediately.

"I am here."

Nanfeng spoke calmly toward the door.

He then looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and, before Zeng could speak, said, "Don't worry, for your sake, I won't tell anyone you're hiding here."

"So you can go hide in the bathroom now."
