Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 419 Youyou's Plea for Help

She smiled gently and nodded.

"Mhm."

"Um, my foot!"

Ziqiao was furious. He pointed at Youyou with trembling hands.

"No, you...I...he...damn!"

Ziqiao leaned back on the sofa, rolling his eyes. He pinched his philtrum hard to stay awake, otherwise he was afraid that Youyou would drive him crazy.

"Oh dear... oh dear..."

Ziqiao groaned weakly. With his condition of taking in more air than exhaling, he should be in the hospital rather than in a bar.

Seeing Ziqiao looking like he might die at any moment, Youyou said with a wry smile, "You don't have to be like this, do you?"

What do you think?

Ziqiao rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "I've seen plenty of toads trying to eat swans, and there are also cases where a beautiful flower is willing to be stuck in cow dung."

"I've never seen anything like you before, a fresh and vibrant cabbage, actively going to confess your love to a wild boar and eagerly telling it, 'I'm willing to be eaten by you, come and eat me quickly.'"

Youyou was taken aback, then blushed and said, "But Guan Gu doesn't look like a wild boar."

Is it a matter of resemblance?

Ziqiao glanced at Youyou; he was practically grinding his back teeth to powder.

He's a king of romance, always dashing around like a dragon or galloping on horseback, and now his aunt is rushing to confess her love to him.

No, what gives him the right?

"Tang Youyou, please don't let anyone else know you're my aunt. I can't bear the shame."

Ziqiao sighed; this was the first time in his twenty-odd years of life that he had been so worried.

He sat up straight and tried to persuade Youyou again: "Auntie, take a look at yourself in the mirror."

"What do you mean?" Youyou's face darkened instantly. "You think I'm not good enough for Guan Gu?"

"no!"

Ziqiao said impatiently, "Just take it because I told you to!"

"oh."

Youyou took a mirror out of her bag to check if her makeup had come off.

Ziqiao leaned closer and pointed at Youyou in the mirror, saying, "Auntie, look at yourself. You're beautiful, and your figure... cough cough..."

He coughed a few times.

"Hello!"

Youyou, who had been basking in Ziqiao's praise, suddenly frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is... don't Meijia and Yifei have Xiaohei's breast enhancement secret recipe? You can try it too."

"Let's just treat it as a last resort."

"Go to hell!"

Youyou angrily punched Ziqiao.

Ziqiao quickly begged for mercy, "Auntie, what I mean is that you are young and beautiful, capable, and your professional skills are beyond question. Even as a minor supporting actor, you earn more than the average person throughout the year."

"Take another look at Guan Gu."

As a member of her maternal family, Ziqiao now finds fault with everything about Guan Gu: "Look at Guan Gu, he's stupid, inflexible, stubborn and prone to getting stuck on trivial matters, and a violent maniac who threatens to commit seppuku all day long."

"Oh, and he especially loves kneading instant noodles!"

"Ziqiao, you can't be serious, can you?" Youyou was amused by his words. "Yes, those are all Guan Gu's shortcomings, but he also has many advantages."

Ziqiao snorted.

Seeing Ziqiao's sour face, Youyou suddenly realized and said, "I know, Ziqiao, are you jealous?"

"what?"

Ziqiao was taken aback: "Me? I'm jealous of you and Guangu?"

"Oh, I understand."

With a gentle smile, she reached out and pinched Ziqiao's face: "Many children get jealous when they find out that their close elders are dating."

"But don't worry, my dear nephew, no matter what, I'll always be your dearest aunt."

"Damn, what are you thinking!"

Ziqiao slapped Youyou's hand away and sat back in his original seat, explaining, "I don't object to you liking Guangu..."

Youyou snorted: "Nonsense, who I like is my business, whether you object or not is not that important."

Ziqiao: (⊙﹏⊙).

[This is my own aunt, I'll tolerate it!]

Ziqiao took a deep breath: "What I mean is, there's nothing wrong with you liking Guangu, but as a girl, there's no need for you to rush to confess your feelings."

"Why don't you wait a little longer, and then just accept when Guan Gu confesses to you?"

Youyou countered, "Then when will Guan Gu confess his feelings to me?"

"Forehead……"

Ziqiao pondered for a long time: "You know that Guangu always likes to plan things out before taking action. As for his plans... I don't know."

Youyou rolled her eyes at Ziqiao: "Then what's the point of you saying all this?"

Ziqiao was speechless.

Youyou then asked, "And what if Guan Gu, like Teacher Zeng, never dares to confess his feelings?"

"Are you planning to make me wait until I'm an old maid?"

Ziqiao's expression was strange: "Guan Gu shouldn't be dawdling like Teacher Zeng, right...?"

"Heh." Youyou let out a soft laugh.

The men in the apartment all laughed at Zeng Xiaoxian, but it turned out they were all Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Nephew, you don't understand."

Youyou patted Ziqiao on the shoulder: "You have to steal the spotlight, and it's the same for men."

"In our line of work, if you're one step ahead, you're always ahead; if you're one step behind... then there's no next step to take."

"Therefore, seizing the initiative and taking the lead is very important, otherwise who knows what will happen next."

Ziqiao thought to himself, "But the whole apartment building is about to find out about your ambiguous relationship with Guangu. You don't need to be in such a hurry."

"What a coincidence."

Youyou clapped her hands and said, "Based on my many years of acting experience, you never know if a role is yours until the very last moment."

"Feelings are the same. What seems like yours is useless. Only what truly belongs to you is yours."

Ziqiao gave a helpless laugh.

My aunt has always been a proactive person. If I were to just obediently wait for Guan Gu to confess his feelings to her, without any set timeframe...

This is driving her crazy with worry.

Oh well, if they're going to be eager, then so be it.

Anyway, Guan Gu... although he's still a little bit worse than me, he's actually pretty good.

"Alright."

He looked at Youyou and sighed, "So you've really decided to confess to Guangu the night after tomorrow?"

"Mhm."

Youyou nodded: "The day after tomorrow is a good day."

Ziqiao took out his phone to check the perpetual calendar: "Let me see what auspicious day it will be the day after tomorrow."

"August 19th in the Gregorian calendar, July 6th in the lunar calendar, is auspicious for praying for blessings, for weddings, and for..."

"Asking for an heir?!!"

He looked up in surprise: "What, you're not planning to confess your feelings to Guan Gu and then have a child with him that very night, are you?"

My aunt has never been in a relationship before, so she shouldn't be that desperate.

However, this is not necessarily true; some girls in this world are born carnivores.

Hmm, that makes sense.

No wonder she's my aunt; they're all cut from the same cloth, carnivores.

"Get lost!"

Youyou grabbed a sofa cushion and threw it at Ziqiao: "What are you thinking? The important thing is July 6th! July 6th!"

"What's wrong with the sixth day of the seventh lunar month?"

Ziqiao had a sudden flash of inspiration, and he exclaimed "Oh!" as if he had just understood.

"I understand. You two confirmed your relationship on the evening of the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, so you can seamlessly connect to Qixi Festival on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, right?"

"Wow, Tang Youyou, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

Seeing that Ziqiao understood her thoughts, Youyou touched her nose smugly: "That's right, I am Tang Youyou."

"Then why don't you just wait until Qixi Festival to confess your feelings? Wouldn't that be easier?" Ziqiao asked.

Without hesitation, Youyou replied, "That won't do. If we set the confession date for Qixi Festival, wouldn't I lose one day of our anniversary?"

Ziqiao: ...

Very well, he actually forgot that his aunt likes to celebrate all sorts of anniversaries.

Such as the anniversary of your first acting role, the anniversary of your first time playing an actor with lines, the anniversary of your first stage play, the anniversary of moving into an apartment...

In short, as long as she can remember, half the year might be her anniversary.

Ziqiao, who never celebrates anniversaries, couldn't help but laugh at Youyou's bad habit, saying, "Auntie, why don't you just set your wedding date with Guangu on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month and give Guangu a three-day anniversary holiday?"

Youyou was taken aback upon hearing this: "That's a great idea!"

Her pretty face flushed, and she said softly, "But Guan Gu and I haven't even started dating yet. Isn't it too fast to talk about these things?"

"You know that too!"

Ziqiao snorted coldly and looked at Youyou: "Speak, what exactly do you want me to do?"

He knew Youyou too well. With her double standards, she would never tell him such a secret unless she needed his help.

"happy."

Youyou came over and massaged Ziqiao's shoulders, trying to please him: "I want to give Guangu a bouquet of flowers on the day I confess my feelings, but roses aren't very original, and the sunflowers on Nanfeng's whole balcony are boring."

"It would be too obvious if I asked Guan Gu directly, so could you subtly ask him what kind of Alipay he likes?"

"What?!"

Ziqiao was now completely consumed by jealousy: "You confessed your feelings, fine, but you even wanted to send him flowers?"

"I've never been given flowers by a girl before!"

As the saying goes, it's not that I'm afraid my brother is suffering, it's that I'm afraid my brother is driving a Land Rover.

Why is it that we're all men, but Guan Gu gets to receive flowers from girls?

Not to mention that the person who sent him the flowers was his own aunt!

Ziqiao stood up angrily, ready to leave: "I won't do it! I'd rather die than do it!"

This is absolutely outrageous! It's utterly outrageous!

"Ziqiao, please help me out."

Youyou grabbed Ziqiao's arm and pleaded, "This is about your aunt's lifelong happiness, don't you want to be a part of it?"

Without a second thought, Ziqiao broke free from Youyou's grasp: "I won't participate! I won't help! Go find someone else to help!"

"Ziqiao~ Nephew~" Youyou said coquettishly.

Ziqiao remained unmoved.

Youyou's expression changed, and she shouted in Sichuan dialect, "I'm from the Shu Road!"

"Auntie, please feel free to give Xiaobu any instructions."

Ziqiao decisively slid down and surrendered.

I'm coming
