Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 459 Before becoming other characters, you must first become yourself.

"Leaving Love Apartment?!?"

Zhanbo jumped to his feet, his eyes filled with panic and disbelief.

"Wanyu, why?"

He panicked and stammered, "Why do you want to leave Love Apartment? Is it because...is it because we did something wrong?"

"Zhanbo, please sit down."

Wanyu stood up and put her hands on Zhanbo's shoulders, pressing him back into place.

"Now that I've decided to tell you, I'll be completely honest with you. Please sit down and listen to me slowly, okay?"

Heartbroken, Zhanbo's eyebrows drooped into a downward spiral, but he still obediently waited for Wanyu to confess.

Wan Yu sat down and said very seriously, "Zhanbo, you've been very good to me, and everyone else has been very good to me. My desire to leave isn't due to anyone else, it's my own problem."

Wan Yu sighed, rested her head in her hands, and finally voiced her troubles.

"Zhanbo, do you know that I've been away from home for a whole year?"

"From the day I gained my freedom, I have been thinking about what my dream is and what kind of life I love."

"But I still can't figure this out."

Wanyu paused for a moment and continued, "Nanfeng told me to wait. He told me that I don't need to think hard about my dream life. What I lack now is a key to unlock it, an opportunity to recall my dream."

"I waited and waited, and then another half a year passed, but I still haven't gotten that opportunity."

"So I was thinking, maybe this opportunity didn't even happen in Love Apartment."

"Perhaps I should try to get out of the apartment, see more, and experience more."

"Maybe I'll find that opportunity by then."

She shrugged at Zhanbo and said, "So I'm saving money right now, at least to make sure I don't starve to death after I leave Love Apartment."

"But, but..."

Zhanbo stammered and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Before this, he had never imagined that Wanyu would leave Love Apartment one day.

Zhanbo thought Wanyu would feel happy and joyful, just like everyone else living on the sixth floor, because everyone in the apartment was together.

He naively believed that Wanyu would stay in the apartment and find their dreams together, living the life they both loved.

But after Zhanbo listened carefully to Wanyu's story, he realized that he didn't seem to have any reason to keep Wanyu.

She came for freedom and dreams in the first place, and of course she will leave with freedom and dreams.

But Zhanbo still wanted to know one thing.

"But Wanyu, isn't there even a place for everyone in the apartment in your freedom and dreams?"

Wan Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment she shook her head in confusion.

"I have no idea."

Wan Yu lowered her head and then picked at the fried rice in her bowl: "Actually, I'm very happy every day I'm with everyone. I'm really, really happy."

"I've thought about just leaving it at that, going to apologize to my dad, and then living happily and carefree here with everyone."

"But if that's the case, how is it any different from being at home?"

"I escaped from one safe haven, not to hide in another."

"I can live in a safe haven, provided that I have overcome all the storms and lived my true self."

"Whether others think I'm pretentious and ungrateful, or selfish and willful, I need to find out who I am first before I can know whether what I'm doing is right or wrong."

Zhanbo's eyes drooped, and he pouted like a child: "Since you've already made up your mind, why are you even asking me if I support you?"

"Because I feel more empowered when you support me."

Wan Yu looked up at Zhan Bo, her eyes filled with determination and confusion, but also with some indescribable emotions.

"Zhanbo, you're so good to me, really good. I know how good you are to me, and I want to be as good to you as you are to me."

"But all of that happened later."

"Before becoming someone's girlfriend or someone's wife, I must first become myself."

"I need to know what I want to do before I can understand what I should do."

"Zhanbo, you're the same."

"You should be yourself first, and then become someone's boyfriend or someone's husband."

Zhanbo murmured somewhat bewilderedly, "First, become myself."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "Wanyu, can I go with you? Let's go together to find the opportunity to realize our dreams."

Wan Yu looked at him with suspicion: "Are you sure you're coming with me to find your dream?"

Zhanbo nodded repeatedly.

As for whether or not to go in search of one's dreams...

Who cares, let's just get going!

Wan Yu sighed: "Zhanbo, you still don't understand what I mean."

Zhanbo asked timidly, "Then what do you mean by that?"

"Think about it slowly yourself." Wanyu calculated the time. "Anyway, six months should be enough time for you to figure it out."

Zhanbo: (⊙⊙)?

"...Half, half a year?"

He stared wide-eyed in surprise and asked, "Aren't you leaving soon?"

"Yeah, didn't I just tell you that I only recently started saving money?"

Wan Yu took out her phone and looked at her pitiful balance. She immediately felt a throbbing pain in her trigeminal nerve.

"You know, my part-time income wasn't high to begin with, and what I earned before was barely enough to get by."

"I only recently started saving money, and I'm still a long way from being able to confidently leave the apartment."

"real?"

Zhanbo jumped up with overjoyed excitement: "That's great!"

"Hello!"

Wan Yu said with dissatisfaction, "Do you know that this is the first time in my life I've been laughed at for not having money!"

"Without Wanyu, I'm not laughing at you for being a penniless pauper."

Zhanbo excitedly leaned closer and asked, "Wanyu, if you find your dream in the next six months, will you stay?"

"That depends on what kind of dream it is," Wanyu said vaguely.

She couldn't possibly guarantee Zhanbo's opinion on this matter anyway.

Zhanbo was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "It's alright, six months is not too little, and a lifetime is not too much."

Wan Yu paused, looked up at Zhan Bo who was grinning foolishly, and finally just smiled faintly with her eyes lowered.

"fool……"

"Wanyu, I..."

boom!

Zhanbo seemed to want to say something more, but Yifei had already pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Oh, this fried rice was what I prepared for lunch. You guys are eating it so soon?"

Zhanbo looked embarrassed, wishing he could just push his older sister out and make her wait until he finished speaking before coming in.

Wanyu asked somewhat nervously, "Feifei, why are you back?"

"Don't even mention it," Yifei said, waving her hand. "Yu Mo and Nanfeng's cousin were having such a great time chatting, while Nanfeng and I couldn't get a single word in edgewise."

She picked up the braised pork knuckle and stroked it affectionately: "I was sitting there with nothing to do, and my butt was getting sore. I might as well come back and play with the braised pork knuckle."

Yifei suddenly asked, "By the way, what were you guys doing just now?"

Zhanbo stammered, "We, we..."

Afraid that Zhanbo would let something slip, Wanyu quickly pointed to the fried rice in her bowl, a fawning smile playing on her lips.

"We're praising Feifei for your egg fried rice."

"Really?" Yifei asked excitedly, "Then what are your thoughts?"

Wan Yu exclaimed, "Delicious! So delicious! Fei Fei, could you teach me how to make it sometime?"

"Woof?" Jiang Zhouzi, who was thrashing around in Yi Fei's arms, barked.

It looked up at Wanyu, its small dog eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Why are you so desperate?

Yifei was overjoyed when she heard Wanyu's request.

have a look!have a look!

He himself said that as long as he persisted in cooking, his culinary skills would definitely improve!

Wanyu was completely won over by her own fried rice!

She gave Wanyu a thumbs-up with a face full of praise: "Wanyu, you have such great taste!"

"Let me tell you, learning to make fried rice is an art. And I am the strongest at the pinnacle of this art."

While eating her fried rice, Wanyu laughed and said, "Whether it's artistic or not isn't really important. What's important is that eating fried rice is cheaper than ordering takeout."

As she was speaking, she suddenly felt her tooth being pressed against something.

"what!"

Wan Yu covered her cheek and screamed, then pulled a tiny... fake nail out of her mouth?

"Ah!" Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "So that's where my fake nail fell off."

Wan Yu chuckled dryly, then turned to Zhan Bo and whispered, "Can I say I don't want to learn now?"

Zhanbo cast a sympathetic glance at Wanyu.

What do you think?

I'm coming
