Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 388 Lüshi Chunqiu

"Ugh~ What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zeng Xiaoxian squinted and raised his pinky finger, saying, "I'm just curious."

Youyou nodded in agreement, "Yes, I still believe Teacher Zeng on this point."

She stood up and raised Zeng Xiaoxian's effeminate fingers even higher: "Look at Teacher Zeng's effeminate manner, he looks like he's about to become sworn brothers with those female technicians."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter.

They knew Zeng Xiaoxian's personality; he was the type who had the desire to steal but lacked the courage.

No matter how impressive Teacher Zeng's words are, if he were actually sent to some shady sauna or KTV, his fastidious nature would surely make him turn tail and run away.

Meijia stood up and carefully examined her senior brother: "Senior brother, at first glance, you really do look like a handsome guy."

The eldest disciple raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Looks like a..."

"..."

"...A handsome guy?"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Meijia quickly corrected herself, "Senior Brother, you're such a handsome guy!"

"Hmm~~~"

Du Jun nodded in satisfaction.

"The scent of this essential oil is a bit overpowering."

Meijia pinched her nose and asked in confusion, "I can understand you buying clothes and getting your hair styled, but is it really necessary to go to a spa and sauna for blind date training?"

"Superficial, extremely superficial."

Ziqiao tilted his head back, looking like he was the only one sober in a world of drunks: "Going to spas and saunas isn't mainly for physical conditioning, but for a change of spirit."

He put his arm around his senior brother's shoulder and showed everyone the results of his spiritual transformation throughout the day.

"Look at what our senior brother looked like yesterday."

"Dull, listless, and that frantic rush to finish manuscripts and do part-time jobs, a kind of weariness and confusion that permeates the classroom."

Ziqiao snapped his fingers: "But look at how Senior Brother is now, relaxed, confident, composed, low-key yet luxurious, he's simply the best of men!"

"This is the difference between a dull, honest man who only wants to find a wife for himself and a stepmother for his children, and a handsome, young, and successful cartoonist."

"My first step in the mental transformation plan was to help my senior brother relax his mind and understand his own persona."

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother blushed. He silently straightened his back and forced himself to look like a perfect gentleman.

Meijia smiled dismissively, then lowered her head and peeked at the bags and packages that Ziqiao had brought in.

Goodness, the outfits here gave Meijia the feeling that even though she didn't know the brands, they looked very expensive.

"Lu Ziqiao, who paid your bill?"

"Well……"

Zi Qiao chuckled and said, "It's just that Senior Brother is so kind as to accept it, so I can only reluctantly accept it."

The eldest brother nodded: "That's right."

Although Ziqiao had said before the new year that he could help out for free, Du Jun couldn't possibly leave without offering any assistance.

The things that are free in this world are the most expensive. If you can use money to repay a debt of gratitude, that would be an incredibly worthwhile business opportunity.

Moreover, for him, as long as the stepmother issue was resolved, even morality and etiquette were irrelevant, let alone this small amount of money.

"Senior Brother, you're really generous."

Mika snorted unhappily.

Seeing Lu Ziqiao taking advantage of her made her feel even worse than if she herself had suffered a loss.

When Ziqiao saw Meijia's displeased expression, he knew what she was thinking, so Ziqiao, who had already gained a lot of advantage today, was even happier.

Seeing Mika upset is even more satisfying than benefiting myself!

He smiled smugly, then carried his bags into the bedroom.

After Ziqiao came out, he made sure to lock his bedroom door from the inside.

"Guan Gu, Senior Brother, put the things away. We're getting ready to go to the next place."

Ziqiao stepped forward and patted Guan Gu and his senior brother on the shoulder with a serious expression.

"Du Jun, Guan Gu Shenqi..."

"What?" Guan Gu looked completely bewildered.

"Be serious!"

Zi Qiao rolled his eyes at Guangu, then said in a deep voice, "Du Jun, Guangu, in view of your sincere hearts, today I will impart to you the profound meaning of the Lüshi Chunqiu!"

Guan Gu was completely baffled by this. He pointed blankly at himself and asked, "Me? A sincere heart?"

What does this have to do with me?

I never thought about finding a stepmother for my child.

Bah! I'm a perfectly healthy young man, where would I get a child from!

"Enough with the nonsense," Ziqiao snorted. "Teaching one is the same as teaching two. I have to make my senior brother's expense worthwhile today."

[In his inner world, Ziqiao listened to the nagging on the other end of the phone with a helpless expression.]

[Only after the woman's voice on the other end of the phone stopped did he respond in an extremely ingratiating manner.]

Okay, no problem...

【My dearest, most beautiful, stunningly gorgeous, eternally eighteen-year-old Fairy Tang, you can rest assured, I will help my aunt find a boyfriend.】

Don't worry, it's definitely not one of my cronies.

[This is my dear aunt, I'll definitely find her a reliable man in every way.]

[...You're not that good guy from "Your Moon, My Heart," are you listening to radio programs now?]

Oh, you have insomnia? Then you should definitely listen to this program more often.

Yes, yes, I know she's not young (actually, she's not that old at all).

Tell your grandparents not to worry. If your aunt has dreams, let her pursue them for a few more years. Don't keep thinking about making her go back to arranged marriages and become a full-time housewife.

If my aunt became a big star, wouldn't my parents be proud too?

I definitely need to help her find a boyfriend who's willing to support her acting career. It's not easy for anyone to have a dream they can dedicate their entire life to, you know.

In our small county town, how many men who are eager to get married through blind dates would be willing to let her pursue her dreams?

Okay, I'll definitely make some progress on my aunt before the New Year, so that my grandparents won't insist on setting her up on blind dates when we go back home for the holidays.

Okay, love you, Mom.

When faced with Ziqiao's sudden offer to teach him the Lüshi Chunqiu, Guan Gu didn't react much, but the senior brother's legs went weak and he collapsed onto the sofa.

The shocked senior disciple even became more fluent in his speech: "The Lü Family Annals? You mean the Lü Family Annals? That supreme guide to picking up girls in the martial arts world!"

Seeing this, Youyou looked at her senior brother in surprise: "So, senior brother, you can speak properly now."

At this moment, Ziqiao had already put his hands behind his back, striking a mysterious and unpredictable pose.

"That's right, it's the Lüshi Chunqiu."

He sat on the sofa with an air of authority: "Although we have limited time, no matter what you two do, it's impossible to learn the entire Lüshi Chunqiu."

"But as long as you can grasp the essence of Lüshi Chunqiu in these seven days, even just a little bit will be enough to make you invincible in love."

The eldest disciple clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "A great favor..."

"..."

"...No need to thank me!"

Ziqiao said with a smile, "Senior Brother, you're too kind."

"Ziqiao, Ziqiao."

Xiao Xian eagerly stepped forward, looking every bit the sycophant.

He rubbed his hands excitedly and said cautiously, "Ziqiao, with our close relationship, it's not too much for me to stand by and watch while you teach them, is it?"

"From my inner world," Zeng Xiaoxian said righteously.

Please don't misunderstand, my desire to study the Lüshi Chunqiu (Master Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals) is not to learn how to pick up girls.

I just... I just...

[I just wanted to remind my female radio listeners how to be wary of jerks by learning about their dating tactics.]

[As soon as Xiaoxian finished speaking, a plump pigeon flew in from nowhere, landed on his head, and began pecking at him fiercely.]

【ah!!!】

Xiao Xian waved his hands wildly above his head, trying to shoo away the mischievous pigeon.

[As it turned out, this pigeon, though plump, was exceptionally agile in flight. It not only evaded Zeng Xiaoxian's attempts to shoo it away but also pecked at him a few more times while he was waving his arms.]

Nanfeng walked over with his arms crossed, pointed at Xiaoxian who was running away with his head in his hands after being pecked by a fat pigeon, and said in a deep voice.

As everyone knows, the characters in Love Apartment always speak the truth.

And this is the price of dishonesty!

"Teacher Zeng, what you call observation is generally known as stealing a master's skills in the martial arts world."

Zi Qiao sighed dramatically, "You know how terrifying it is when a love affair weapon like the Lüshi Chunqiu is spread. If it weren't for finding a stepmother for my senior brother's son, I would never have shared it."

"Your request to remain a bystander is really putting me in a difficult position."

"No problem, no problem."

Zeng Xiaoxian held up three fingers: "Okay, then I'll cover your breakfast for the next three days, alright?"

Ziqiao sighed deeply, his face still full of difficulty: "Sigh..."

"Then...five days?"

The troubled look on his face eased slightly: "Sigh."

Zeng Xiaoxian said with a dark face, "...Seven days?"

Ziqiao finally laughed out loud: "Well..."

"Seven days it is, take it or leave it!"

"All done!"

Ziqiao smiled broadly and gave an OK sign.

Zeng Xiaoxian looked very unhappy.

Nanfeng observed the two's behavior, thought for a moment, and then mocked, "Teacher Zeng, you traded seven days' worth of breakfasts for the right to observe this lousy Lüshi Chunqiu?"

"Broken~Lüshi Chunqiu?" Zi Qiao, a womanizer, was very dissatisfied upon hearing this.

This is the ultimate guide to picking up girls, and the culmination of my years of experience.

How come in your mouth, Nanfeng, it's no different from trash?

"That's how it is."

Nanfeng scoffed, "What do you mean by 'even just grasping a little bit is enough to make you invincible in the dating scene'? That's such an exaggeration, it's obvious you're just bragging."

"Are you challenging me?" Ziqiao's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses, like a wild beast locking onto its prey.

"what?"

"Very well, I accept your challenge!"

Before Nanfeng could say anything, Ziqiao said to himself, "You just come and watch. Let's make a gentleman's agreement: if you are convinced by my Lüshi Chunqiu in seven days, you will sing 'Conquer' for me in front of everyone."

"What if I disagree?"

"Then I'll sing you a song about fatherhood!"

"childish!"

Nanfeng chuckled dismissively and held out his palm: "A gentleman's word is his bond."

"What's done is done!"

Ziqiao and Nanfeng high-fived.

Seeing this, Nanfeng raised an eyebrow at Xiaoxian with a smug look.

Teacher Zeng, before you study the Lüshi Chunqiu, let me give you a lesson first.

When you start acting like a sycophant, you've already entered a situation where you're completely at someone's mercy.

Study hard!

Zeng Xiaoxian's smile froze.

Here it comes!
