Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 403 [Virtuous and Talented] Combination

Guan Gu stormed off, clearly intending to withdraw from the Martian Chinese language training course.

"Guan Gu, Guan Gu!"

Ziqiao tried to reach out and stop Guan Gu, but it was too late.

"Sigh, it seems that Guan Gu is too preoccupied with studying the Lu Family Annals and assisting his senior brother right now."

He looked at Xiaoxian and entrusted him with an important task, saying, "In that case, Teacher Zeng, you will be the wingman for Senior Brother's blind date next week."

"I?"

Xiaoxian pointed to himself in surprise: "Why me? I had to work the night shift that night."

"Isn't it easy for your radio show, which has the lowest ratings, to ask for leave and find someone to fill in?"

Ziqiao patted Xiaoxian on the shoulder: "Mainly because, judging from the current progress, Senior Brother simply won't be able to grasp the essence of Lüshi Chunqiu within seven days. You'll just have to act as his wingman."

Xiao Xian retorted, "Then why don't you go yourself, or let Nanfeng do it?"

He explained why he was unwilling to help: "You know Lisa is a good person, but she can be very rude. If I ask for leave for no reason, she'll definitely give me a good scolding."

"Alas, as Lüshi Chunqiu says: It is better to be in the dark than in the light."

"An ace like me should definitely be providing you with technical support from the shadows."

"As for why we didn't ask Nanfeng for help..."

Ziqiao pointed at Xiaoxian and Nanfeng as he spoke: "Senior Brother, do you hope that the wingman that day is Teacher Zeng, who, apart from speaking much faster than you, is not much better than you in terms of age or other aspects?"

"Or is it this Nanfeng in front of you, who's younger, richer, more handsome, and has a more witty and humorous personality that makes him more popular with girls?"

The eldest brother bowed deeply to Zeng Xiaoxian almost without much hesitation.

……

……

……

"Please!" the eldest brother pleaded slowly.

Du Jun wasn't stupid. Wingmen are all about the green leaves setting off the red flowers, or gold threads inlaid with agate. There's no such thing as the red flower setting off the green leaves in this world.

If you really let Nanfeng, who is better than you in every way, be your wingman, then guess who your blind date will like more?

No, absolutely not!

"This... is no problem."

Zeng Xiaoxian was also known for his kind heart in the apartment, so he naturally had no reason to refuse the request from his senior brother across the hall.

"Senior Brother, we're all family. If you need our help, just let us know. There's no need to be so polite," he said, patting his senior brother on the shoulder.

Are you family?

The eldest brother thought to himself silently.

"Okay," he nodded.

"very good."

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Ziqiao urged, "Then you two hurry up and learn what I taught you before. If you dawdle, seven days will pass by in no time."

"it is good."

The two responded in unison.

"etc!"

Zeng Xiaoxian said, "Since we're partners, shouldn't we come up with a group name?"

The eldest disciple asked, "A combination?"

"yes."

Xiao Xian's eyes shone brightly: "Look, my name is Zeng Xiaoxian, and your name is Du Jun. The two of us together make a perfect 'virtuous and talented' duo, don't we?"

Ziqiao was speechless upon hearing this: "You're just temporary partners for seven days, is it really necessary to even have a group name?"

"Ziqiao, you don't understand."

Xiao Xian boasted, "With a group name, the two of us are more like a team, and we can cooperate better."

"cut."

Ziqiao curled his lip in disdain. He didn't believe that these two brilliant minds could create a chemical reaction just by giving each other a combined name.

Nanfeng nodded in agreement, saying, "I think the name 'Virtuous and Talented' is good; it's at least better than the names 'Iron Pectoral Muscle Band' and '2627 Energetic Girls'."

"south wind!!!"

Ziqiao and Meijia's expressions darkened, and they shouted in unison.

They glanced at each other with unfriendly expressions, but then burst into laughter at the same time.

That period in the group, which wasn't even considered an underground idol group, was a time full of regrets yet incredibly memorable.

"Sarah, bring the drinks!"

Xiao Xian called out the female bartender's name to order drinks. As the order was placed and the drinks were served, he raised his glass and shouted.

"Cheers to the birth of our talented and virtuous team!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered loudly.

……

Ling Ziqiao did not expect that this virtuous and talented duo, whom he saw as a perfect match of Zhuge Liang and Feng Xiao, would have such a good rapport, even surpassing that of the fellow disciples Guan Gu and his senior brother.

Especially Zeng Xiaoxian, this guy is terrible at being the main controller, but he's incredibly good at being a wingman.

The main thing is that this guy is obsequious, sycophantic, and good at flattering people. When he starts praising his senior brother, he never stops showering him with praise and compliments, whether overt or covert.

All I can say is that when it comes to praising people, the eldest brother really has to thank Yifei and Lisa for their years of guidance and training of Xiaoxian.

In addition, Zeng Xiaoxian's personality and traits are really too well-suited to the role of wingman.

Being with such a sleazy and despicable person, the senior brother truly shines in comparison.

With Xiaoxian as a comparison, the dull and sullen expression on the senior brother's face turned into the composure and restraint of a mature man.

With Xiaoxian's presence, even his slow-paced way of speaking seemed mature and composed in front of other girls.

"Now I understand why those rich young masters in online novels always have a lewd-looking, greasy, and disgusting lackey by their side."

"The contrast and comparison are just too obvious!"

Nanfeng complained as he ate popcorn.

Meijia kept stuffing popcorn into her mouth while nodding in agreement.

"So this is the legendary innate wingman body? Amazing!"

She looked down and saw Nanfeng's hand still reaching into her popcorn bucket. The greedy girl immediately became annoyed and said, "Nanfeng, eat less of my popcorn! You've almost finished it all!"

"This stuff is actually quite tasty when you eat it once in a while."

Nanfeng didn't even glance at Meijia and continued reaching into the bucket for popcorn to eat: "Besides, I treated you to your popcorn, why are you being so stingy?"

Meijia retorted, "I don't care, I have nothing to eat anyway."

"Then I'll go buy them for you later. Do you want some lollipops and salted soda? I'll buy them for you while I'm at it."

"Brother Nanfeng is so generous!" Meijia smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples.

Nanfeng looked disgusted: "Meijia, aren't you disgusting to say something like that at your age?"

Ziqiao turned to look at the two noisy "brother and sister" and casually asked a question.

"Could you buy me a few more cases of salted soda?"

Nanfeng and Meijia were taken aback.

How many boxes?

Why don't you just say you'll buy a few warehouses of them?

"Get lost!"

The two roared in unison.

……

Time slipped away quietly as Xiaoxian and his senior brother's tacit understanding grew rapidly, and it seemed like only yesterday that evening had arrived.

One of the virtuous members of the group had to rush to the radio station to continue his radio program, which had the lowest listenership. So the talented member could only stay in room 3603 and digest what Ziqiao had taught him.

When Ziqiao and the others returned, they were naturally bombarded with questions from Yifei, Yumo, and other office workers about what had happened that day. When they heard that Ziqiao had been tricked by Nanfeng into going to pick up Youyou, their shocked exclamations echoed throughout the apartment, just like countless times before.

When they heard that Nanfeng's plan to kill two birds with one stone had been abruptly thwarted by Guangu, they all burst into another round of wailing and lamentation.

"Guan Gu, oh Guan Gu."

Yifei said with exasperation, "How could you miss such a golden opportunity? Who taught you to summarize it like that?"

"That damn Chinese training course of yours is a total rip-off!"

Wanyu and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance and complained, "This Chinese training class is really bearing a huge burden that it shouldn't have to bear."

Yifei looked embarrassed.

She knew, of course, that this had little to do with the Chinese training class, but it was better to criticize it than to criticize Guan Gu.

Guan Gu, who had dropped out of the Mars Chinese training course, returned with his head down and remained silent. Little did he know that Nan Feng was planning to use this opportunity to help him out.

Seeing that Guan Gu was a little down, Yu Mo gently comforted him, "Guan Gu, it's okay. This kind of thing is normal in our apartment."

"Let alone a golden opportunity like this, there are people who confess their feelings three times in one night and still fail."

To be honest, Yu Mo's words really made Guan Gu feel a lot better.

It is indeed regrettable that I did not seize the opportunity, but it is even more delightful that my friend failed three times in a row.

No, actually it was four times.

Nanfeng thought to herself silently.

Zeng Xiaoxian, who was used as a negative example, almost threw his back out from Yu Mo's words.

Yifei opened her eyes wide and said in shock, "There are people who can confess their love three times in one night and still not succeed?"

"That's so useless."

She pressed on curiously, "Who is it? Who is it?"

"Forehead……"

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

"Speak up, what is it that I can't know?"

When Yifei noticed that everyone was looking at her with unusual expressions, she paused, as if she had realized something.

She waved her hand in slight panic and said, "Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiaoxian's eyes.

In her inner world, Yifei sighed.

In this apartment, who else could be the loser who confesses their feelings three times in one night and fails each time?

【That must be Zhanbo!】

[Yifei said with heartache: I knew it would be so silly of Zhanbo to fall into narcolepsy just because he was pursuing his dreams. I never knew there was such a profound reason behind it.]

He must have been rejected by Wanyu three times in a row, leaving him heartbroken and unable to wake up from his beautiful dream. Then, after losing hope in love, he chose to pursue his dreams to numb himself.

As for why he didn't tell me, it's probably because he was afraid I'd be heartbroken, and he planned to silently bear the pain alone.

[Yifei looked up at the sky, a mixture of sadness and a deep sense of relief.]

Zhanbo has really grown up. Not only can he recover from heartbreak on his own, but he also knows how to care about his sister's feelings.

[Unfortunately, he's still too naive. He should understand that no one can fool Hu Yifei!]

However, considering his commendable filial piety, I, as his older sister, will pretend I don't know anything.

Sigh, my child has really grown up...

At the same time, Zhanbo, who was sitting in a dark corner downstairs, couldn't help but sneeze.

He muttered to himself, puzzled, "That's strange, I don't have a cold."

I'm coming
