Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 494 Zhanbo, trained to resemble Yifei

Zhanbo stubbornly insisted, "I...I didn't."

Zhao Wuliang responded with an "oh" and then asked, "So you mean you don't want to pursue Wanyu?"

"no."

He answered without hesitation.

Even after realizing what had happened, Zhanbo still tried to be stubborn, but he was bad at talking and not good at dealing with this kind of situation. He could only hang his head and mutter in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Making chasing girls your dream is just too sleazy."

Perhaps influenced by Wan Yu, Zhan Bo felt that his dream should also be something grand and spectacular.

Even if we don't say it's about saving the world, it should at least be something grand and impressive.

Zhao Wuliang dismissed it, saying, "What's so lewd about a boy in his twenties thinking about dating and chasing girls?"

"If you don't want to pursue girls, are you going to pursue boys?"

He paused, then continued, "Zhanbo, it's fine if you want to be in a relationship, but you can't be so blinded by your own desires that you forget yourself."

"Although I've never been in a relationship, love should be a two-way street, not something where you compromise with her or try to get closer to her."

"You want to leave with her to pursue her dreams, but has she ever considered staying for you?"

"But my liking for Wanyu is my own business. How can I ask her to change for me?"

Zhao Wuliang was so angry at Zhanbo's idea that he almost bled from all seven orifices. He couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer, saying sarcastically, "Your idea is so right, so positive."

Zhao Wuliang widened his eyes and said seriously, "Since you think liking Wanyu is your own business and you don't want or ask her to do anything for you, then just continue to like Wanyu."

"Since you're only thinking about unrequited love, what difference does it make whether she leaves or not?"

"Does her leaving mean you can't continue to love her?"

"Or do you think that your feelings for Wanyu haven't caused her any trouble at all?"

Zhanbo was completely taken aback by Zhao Wuliang's sarcastic and cutting words. He lowered his head and remained silent.

"See? Even if you secretly like Wanyu, you're not happy about it. You still really want to be with her."

"But when two people are together, they will inevitably change, tolerate each other, and compromise with each other, because there are no two people in this world who are perfectly compatible and do not need to change."

"Even if there were, judging from the current situation, it definitely wouldn't be you and Wanyu."

Zhao Wuliang patted Zhanbo on the shoulder. Although his tone wasn't exactly gentle, it was much better than his sarcastic tone just now.

"Zhanbo, you're right. If it's just that you like Wanyu, then you really don't deserve for her to change for you."

"But when it comes to feelings, if you're the only one moving towards her, you'll find that the distance between you two is endless no matter how hard you try."

"If you ask me, if Wanyu doesn't have those feelings for you, you should give up your unrealistic ideas as soon as possible, especially your idea of ​​going with her to find your dreams."

"That's so stupid! Absolutely so stupid! So stupid that I even think I was blind to have chosen you as my opponent!"

Zhanbo was so disgusted by Zhao Wuliang's insults that he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He and Zhao Wuliang had been competing and vying with each other for almost a year. Although they always liked to be one step ahead of each other, they never belittled each other's strength and both believed that the other was a worthy opponent.

Zhao Wuliang's merciless contempt was a fatal blow to Zhanbo, and it was exactly the kind of blow that Zhanbo desperately needed at the moment.

Because apart from Yifei, almost no one in the apartment would say such direct and sarcastic things to Zhanbo, but Zhanbo would definitely not tell his older sister so quickly that he wanted to leave the apartment with Wanyu to pursue their dreams.

Everyone hopes that Zhanbo can grow up slowly without experiencing too many hardships, even though this might be a bit slow and he might make more foolish mistakes.

But Zhanbo is not only young, he is also a true genius. It's never too late for someone like him to mature.

From this perspective, perhaps Zhanbo is the youngest child in their hearts.

However, everyone overlooked one thing: Zhanbo, who grew up under the thumb of Yifei, even though he was very resistant rationally and felt that he had grown up.

But subconsciously, he still needs someone who can scold him awake like Yifei when he feels lost, and then guide him in the right direction.

How can this not be considered as being trained to resemble Yifei?

So after Zhao Wuliang's barrage of insults and sarcastic mockery, Zhanbo, who felt utterly ashamed, suddenly found himself in a much better mood after the initial shame subsided. He even thought Zhao Wuliang's words made a lot of sense and hoped that Zhao Wuliang would say a few more words.

This is what is meant by "the predecessors teach, and the successors enjoy the shade."

"Actually, my desire to pursue my dreams wasn't just for Wanyu."

Zhanbo craned his neck and looked around to make sure that only he and Zhao Wuliang were there. Then he covered his mouth with his hand and whispered in Zhao Wuliang's ear.

"Actually, I don't really like my current job, nor do I like the workplace atmosphere and corporate development direction of our company."

"Especially the BOSS, I even feel like he can't speak human language."

"What is meant by aligning granularity? It means finding a foothold, forming a combination of strategies, focusing on a vertical field, breaking down the underlying logic, completing a new business model, and forming a closed-loop matrix."

"I can understand every single word he says, but when put together, I have no idea what he's trying to say."

Zhanbo said, pursing his lips, "If the boss of a company can't even speak like a human being, then the people under him are even less likely to be able to."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I hope my work can be more great and more meaningful, instead of working hard for several days in a row, only to have the boss encourage me to do a good job and then give me a new boss lady next year."

"Given his nonsensical remarks, I don't know if he's encouraging me to work hard or to be a good boss lady."

"Hahaha……"

Zhao Wuliang covered his mouth, trying not to laugh too loudly. He had no idea that Zhanbo had a talent for telling jokes.

After Zhao Wuliang finished laughing, he lowered his voice and asked, "Zhanbo, you haven't said these things to anyone else, have you?"

"Of course, I'm not stupid."

Zhanbo snorted: "If this gets out, I'll definitely settle the score with you."

"Don't worry, even if I wanted to defeat you, I wouldn't use such underhanded methods."

After listening to Zhanbo's complaints about the company and his job, Zhao Wuliang gave him a suggestion: "To be honest, although I also think that the boss is inhuman, all internet companies are the same. Even if you switch jobs, it won't make a difference."

"Zhanbo, if you really want your work to be more significant and meaningful, why not go out and start your own business? Then you can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Zhanbo's eyes widened, and his first reaction was to wave his hands repeatedly in refusal: "No way, I can't do it. I have absolutely no experience in starting a business, and if I quit my job so easily, my older sister will definitely scold me to death!"

Zhao Wuliang finally realized: "Now I understand why you've been so conflicted about your dreams. It turns out you're neither idealistic nor realistic enough."

"What do you mean?"

Zhanbo was completely confused.

"If you are a pure idealist, then you can do whatever you want for your dream like Wanyu, instead of thinking about whether you are good at it or whether your sister will object."

"If you're a pure realist, it's even simpler. Even if the boss is inhuman, why should we, the beasts of burden, go against our wages?"

"You're stuck in the middle right now, wanting the sixpence but not the moon."

"It's like you don't want to give up Wanyu right now, but you can't be with her either."

Zhao Wuliang's sigh carried a hint of schadenfreude: "What an endlessly complicated life."

He patted Zhanbo on the shoulder and said realistically, "But life is full of choices and trade-offs. Life isn't a sitcom; you can't have it all, can you?"

Zhanbo remained silent for a long time before finally asking.

"Then what do you suggest I do?"

"What else can we do but choose?"

Zhao Wuliang shrugged: "The moon or sixpence, giving up or taking another step forward, whatever you choose should be easier than it is now."

"I can't help you with your issues with Wanyu, but I can offer some small assistance with other matters."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent Zhanbo a contact number: "You don't really like science, savages, aliens, UFOs, and things like that."

"I'll give you the contact information for the head of a science search team. They seem to have a scientific exploration activity going to Changbai Mountain in the next few months. You can go for an interview and see if you have a chance to participate. Just think of it as a vacation for yourself."

"If you are selected, you can ask them about dreams. After all, people who have nothing better to do than participate in scientific exploration activities are usually idealists. They might give you some inspiration."

"Zhao Wuliang".

"Um?"

Zhanbo cheered, "You're the most handsome and reliable fat guy I've ever met!"

"Neuropathy."

Zhao Wuliang looked helplessly at the extremely excited Zhanbo.

What's so appealing about these tiring and boring scientific exploration activities?!

Just as Zhao Wuliang was bewildered and Zhanbo was overjoyed, Wanyu outside the door silently released her hand from covering Meijia and Xiaoxian's mouths.

"Shh!"

Wanyu gestured for silence and pointed downstairs: "Let's go back."

Mika subconsciously asked in a low voice, "Leaving now? Wouldn't that mean we came all this way for nothing?"

"Let's hurry, what are we going to say when the people from the convention and exhibition company come back from their lunch break?"

Zeng Xiaoxian hurriedly grabbed Meijia's wrist and started to walk towards the elevator, while Wanyu cautiously peeked out and glanced at Zhanbo before sighing and following Teacher Zeng and Meijia.

The three of them took the elevator downstairs, and Meijia ignored Xiaoxian's gaze and asked a few questions.

"Wanyu, so you're really planning to leave?"

"...I don't know, I'm not sure."

"Zhanbo wanted to go with you, but have you ever thought about staying for him?"

Wan Yu chose to remain silent.

The atmosphere in the elevator suddenly became quiet and oppressive. The three of them remained motionless, their breathing barely perceptible.

The only thing that kept changing in the entire elevator was the floor number they were currently on.

3.

2.

1.

Just as the elevator doors slowly opened, Wan Yu nodded slightly.

I'm coming
