Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 520 Coward

"Shall I go first?"

The other five were all taken aback, unable to understand why the two of them would suddenly leave.

Since everyone is basically together, when did these two reach a consensus?

Besides, there are three fantasy companions in total. It's not right for you to just abandon Mario like this.

Yifei asked in confusion, "I don't understand why you're leaving all of a sudden. Our mission isn't finished yet."

"It's not 'we,' it's 'you.'"

Xiao Xian in a suit corrected, "Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with us fantasy partners from beginning to end. If it weren't for the fact that you might all be immersed in your dreams, I personally wouldn't bother to help."

Wanyu wasn't very familiar with the three imaginary companions in front of her, and she asked in surprise, "Why?"

He shrugged and gave a cold laugh: "Because I'm a selfish, lazy, and utilitarian big bad guy, whether I can wake up Nanfeng or not doesn't really matter to me."

"I initially decided to help simply because I didn't want everyone to come and go in a daze, only to wake up and realize that I hadn't been able to help at all."

Wan Yu, who had been inexplicably choked by Xiao Xian in a suit, opened her cherry-like mouth blankly, not knowing what to say.

She couldn't quite understand why Teacher Zeng's imaginary partner would suddenly say something so insensitive when everyone had just been chatting so well.

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, paused for a moment before continuing, "So far, Xiao Ze, Mu Feng, and I have done what we were supposed to do. With so many of you here, you probably won't need our help tomorrow."

"So now, it's time for us to do something of our own."

Xiao Zeyou smiled faintly and bowed slightly to everyone present, having downgraded from 16K to 4K resolution.

Upon hearing this, Mario, in 8K resolution, suddenly turned to look at Xiao Ze and Mu Feng. He exclaimed, "So what you said before about wanting to take a break with Teacher Xian and let everyone else take charge of waking up Nan Feng, so you could have some fun during your busy schedule... Turns out it wasn't a lie after all."

Xiao Ze then said to Mu Feng, both amused and exasperated, "So you're only just realizing this now?"

Youyou seemed to have thought of something. She squinted, her gossipy gaze constantly shifting between Xiaoxian in the suit and Xiaoze and Mufeng.

"You two...aren't you going on a date, are you?"

"what?"

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, was amused by Youyou's words: "Why don't you think about it carefully for a while, and then ask again?"

Everyone nodded; they also felt that Youyou's guess was somewhat outrageous.

Putting aside whether these two imaginary partners have the ability or possibility to fall in love with each other, even if, by a very small margin, Xiao Xian in a suit and Xiao Ze and Mu Feng really have some feelings for each other, they still can't be in a relationship.

How should one develop a romantic relationship with a fantasy partner?

Should we ask Xiaoxian and Ziqiao to help them negotiate?

The imaginative group couldn't help but let their thoughts wander.

[In my imagination, Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated for a long time outside Ziqiao's bedroom door before finally pushing it open with a look of embarrassment.]

[Ziqiao, who had just taken off his pants in the bedroom to prepare for bed, silently pulled them back up after noticing someone staring intently at his overly thick leg hair.]

[Ziqiao plopped down on the edge of the bed, groaning impatiently.]

Teacher Zeng, what brings you here again?

Zeng Xiaoxian, covering half his face, handed Ziqiao a rose with a rather helpless expression.

[This is for Xiao Ze You Mu Feng Zai Yao.]

Where else could she be if not here?

Zi Qiao accepted the roses with a sullen face. He turned his head in surprise to look to the side, seemingly listening to Xiao Ze and Mu Feng speaking.

After a long pause, Ziqiao lowered his head and sighed resignedly.

Xiao Ze said the flowers are beautiful, I love you... Xian~ baby!

He said, "I love you too, honey."

The two of them opened their arms wide with obvious disgust and gave each other a warm hug.

After the hug ended, Xiaoxian sat down on the other side of the bed. Their uneasy gazes darted left and right, refusing to look at each other.

Even so, their mouths never stopped moving; they stiffly uttered sweet nothings the entire time.

Ah, my dearest Xianbao, your arms are strong and powerful, your chest is broad and majestic, and your skin is impervious to swords and spears.

Ah, my dear Xiaoze, your eyes are clear and captivating, your hands are gentle and delicate, and your heart is crystal clear.

Oh~~~ Xianbao…

Oh~~~ my honey…

【…】

The two, their hearts heavy with despair, exchanged shameful words of love while awkwardly crumpling the neatly made bedsheets into tiny balls.

The atmosphere at the scene was filled with an eerie ambiguity.

Zeng Xiaoxian coughed a few times: Um... he asked Xiao Ze and Mu Feng if they wanted to go out for dinner together tomorrow night, and then go to a private cinema to watch a movie.

[Eating? Watching a movie?]

[Ziqiao, pulling up his pants (whose belt wasn't even properly fastened), jumped up: "Two grown men going to a private cinema? Do we even need to bring our chargers and IDs tomorrow night?!"]

It was the two of them.

What's the difference?

Ziqiao and Xiaoxian exchanged a bewildered glance, their ears filled with their imaginary partner's nagging. Finally, they couldn't help but let out a simultaneous groan of unbearable frustration.

I can't live like this anymore!!!

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Lost in her fantasy, Youyou, Yifei, and Wanyu burst into laughter, their hearts tacit understanding unspoken.

Looking completely bewildered, Mario scratched his head: "What are they laughing at?"

"Who knows what they're laughing at?"

Zeng Xiaoxian had gotten up and was standing next to Xiaoxian in the suit at some point. He nudged Xiaoxian in the suit and muttered, "I feel like the three of them are thinking something very impolite, but I have no proof."

Xiao Xian in the suit nodded: "Agreed."

The two of them rarely agreed on the same thing.

Seeing the three women still laughing, Xiao Xian in the suit gently tapped the table: "So, should Xiao Ze, Mu Feng, and I wait until you're done laughing before leaving, or can we leave now?"

"OK, OK, just wait three more seconds."

With a beaming smile, Yifei took a deep breath, trying her best to appear normal.

She looked at Xiaoxian in his suit and Xiaoze and Mufeng again, her face showing more understanding in addition to the remaining smile.

Although some of what Xiaoxian in the suit said wasn't very pleasant, he was absolutely right.

When everyone entered the dream world to awaken Nanfeng, they could never have imagined that a fantasy partner would suddenly appear, so this matter really had nothing to do with them.

They're willing to help out of consideration for their relationships with everyone; it's perfectly normal if they're not willing to help.

Even if they leave halfway through helping, that's not a reason for anyone to blame them.

Moreover, she had vaguely guessed the real reason why Xiao Xian in the suit and Xiao Ze and Mu Feng decided to leave.

Yifei asked, "So where are you planning to go now?"

Xiao Xian in the suit shook his head: "I don't know. Actually, we're just preparing to say goodbye together. We haven't discussed whether we should continue our journey together."

Xiao Ze replied gently, "I'll probably just go wherever the road takes me. If I happen to run into Zi Qiao along the way, it would be best to wake him up."

"This way I can stay in this dream world a little longer and chat with Ziqiao along the way."

"If I don't run into Ziqiao, then I'll see more new scenery, so that my trip won't be in vain."

Youyou and Wanyu suddenly realized what was going on when they saw the blurry image of Xiaoze Youmufeng. Even Mario understood why Xiaoze Youmufeng had to say goodbye to everyone.

Because she is about to disappear.

Unlike the fantasy creation of Xiaoxian in a suit, which is based on Zeng Xiaoxian's psychological illness and some of his personality traits, the existence of fantasy partners relies on the imagination and self-awareness of the original person.

In other words, if even Ziqiao herself doesn't remember the existence of Xiaoze and Mufeng as her imaginary companions, how could she possibly continue to operate in this dream world?

This is why Xiaoxian in a suit made finding Guan Gu and Zi Qiao his top priority from the very beginning.

The current situation is that Xiao Xian, who least needed his original form, has found it, while Mu Feng and Mario are still unable to find Zi Qiao and Guangu.

In other words, the limited-time trial cards for these two fantasy companions are about to expire.

"Wait a minute, why do I feel like I can make it to tomorrow, but Xiaoze and Mufeng, you can't?"

Mario looked down at his own resolution. He was also a fantasy partner who couldn't find his original form, but his current situation was much better than Xiao Ze and Mu Feng's.

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, glanced at Mario expressionlessly.

That's why he said he dislikes children, because children have no idea which questions they can and cannot ask.

For example, Mario's current question only elicited a gentle yet helpless response from Xiao Ze and Mu Feng.

"It might be because... Mario, you are a very important part of Guan Gu's self-perception, and he thinks about you every day in reality."

"Won't Ziqiao think about you every day?"

Xiao Xian in the suit let out a barely audible sigh.

Very well, this is the second question that shouldn't have been asked.

"Ziqiao usually only thinks of me when he's lonely and feeling down."

Xiao Ze silently swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Since the girl named Meijia reappeared in Ziqiao's life, and since he moved into Love Apartment and made this group of friends, Ziqiao has rarely felt lonely or isolated in the past year or so.

This is a good thing, because her Ziqiao no longer needs to find even a little comfort in false fantasies.

If Ziqiao is willing, there will be a group of enthusiastic and sincere people in reality who will open their arms to embrace him.

Xiao Zeyou was genuinely happy for the happiness he had now, and hoped that he would become happier and happier, and never feel lonely again.

"I have a few more things I'd like to ask for your help with."

She bowed slightly and pleaded, "Please don't tell anyone about my situation, especially Meijia. I'm afraid she'll overthink things if she finds out."

"I also hope that everyone will not discuss anything about me with Ziqiao, and just pretend that I have never appeared."

"May I?"

The three women hesitated for a moment, unsure whether they should agree.

From their perspective, Ziqiao's fantasy partner has Meijia's face, which means that Ziqiao still has feelings for Meijia.

As friends of Ziqiao and Meijia, they still wanted to do their best to help the two of them.

Of course, what they are afraid of now is whether their good intentions will end up doing more harm than good.

"Don't worry about Xiaoze."

Zeng Xiaoxian patted his chest and assured him, "We'll keep your affairs a secret. We absolutely won't tell anyone a single word."

He winked at the three women, then gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you right?"

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's expression, Yifei immediately understood and nodded in agreement: "Yes, we definitely won't tell."

"That's right, we'll definitely keep it a secret for you," Wanyu echoed.

Seeing that everyone else had reached a consensus, Youyou smiled sheepishly and said, "I promise I won't... I'll try my best not to be a blabbermouth or gossip."

It wasn't that Youyou was unwilling to make a guarantee; it was just that she lacked confidence in herself in this area.

Yifei put her arm around Youyou's shoulder with an air of dominance: "Xiaoze, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Youyou. If she dares to say anything out of line, I'll poison her mouth so she can only act in pantomimes for the rest of her life."

Youyou was taken aback: "Where can you still film mime these days?"

"Then you should act in a TV series, and Nanfeng will do your voice acting!"

Xiao Ze smiled slightly after receiving the three people's replies: "Thank you everyone, then I can rest assured."

She looked at Mario: "Mario, what about you? Are you coming with us?"

Mario shook his head vigorously: "Guan Gu isn't here, I'll help him protect Youyou."

"All right."

Xiao Ze and Mu Feng were not surprised by this, or rather, she and Teacher Xian never thought that Mario would leave with them.

She turned to look at Xiao Xian, who was wearing a suit, and asked, "Teacher Xian, are you sure you want to leave too?"

"certainly."

Xiao Xian in the suit snorted: "This might be the only time in my life I'll have the freedom to not be around this idiot, and I have no reason to let it go."

"Feed".

Zeng Xiaoxian protested expressionlessly, "I'm standing right next to you, can't you at least show me a little respect?"

"Oh."

He grinned mischievously. "By the way, while everyone can still see me in their dreams, do you need me to do anything for you, like... something for Yifei..."

From the moment Zeng Xiaoxian met Yifei, he had been on guard against his unscrupulous fantasy partner talking nonsense. Seeing that this bastard was about to say the words "confess his feelings", he immediately pounced on him without thinking and covered Xiaoxian's mouth.

Xiaoxian leaned close to the face that looked exactly like his own and growled in his ear, "You don't need to worry about this like a mother hen. Just enjoy the good times without me!"

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, raised an eyebrow at him with a rare cheeky grin. Xiao Xian didn't even need to let go of his hand to know that this guy wanted to tease him as a coward.

Yifei looked up and asked, "What are you going to say to Yifei?"

Youyou and Wanyu's eyes lit up: "Yeah, what are you going to tell Yifei?"

Not only the two of them, but even Xiao Ze, Mu Feng, and Mario were staring intently at Zeng Xiaoxian.

Speak out! Speak out!

Teacher Zeng, please just say it!

Although confessing your feelings in a dream is rather hasty, anything can happen in dreams.

[First, conjure up a sea of ​​9,999 roses. That way, it's not only romantic, but it also doesn't cost any money.]

If Zhang Wei had come up with such a brilliant idea, he wouldn't just be confessing his feelings; he could even have his future wedding set in the dream world.

[Confess your feelings already! Hurry up and confess!]

Zeng Xiaoxian met Yifei's gaze and chuckled awkwardly, his brain working overtime: "Follow Yifei...follow Yifei..."

"I'll perform the eyebrow dance I just learned with Yifei!"

He clapped his hands, seemingly pleased with himself for finding such a perfect excuse.

"Yifei, I specially learned a new eyebrow dance for you. Would you like to take a look?"

"...A new type of eyebrow dance?"

Yifei felt a chill run down her spine: "You really have a lot of free time on your hands."

"That's why I'm called Xiaoxian," Zeng Xiaoxian said with a laugh, telling a silly joke.

The onlookers all rolled their eyes at him, silently muttering two words.

Coward!

It's one thing to not dare to confess in real life, but to not even dare to confess in dreams.

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, disgustedly shook off Zeng Xiaoxian's hand that was covering his mouth. He knew in his heart that unless this guy had been drinking, he wouldn't dare to confess to Yi Fei even if a knife was held to his throat.

"Alright, we're leaving."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, waved to Xiao Ze and Mu Feng, and the two formally said goodbye to everyone.

Youyou said to her, "Teacher Xian, please be careful on your journey."

"Things haven't been peaceful in Wudang Mountain these past few days. Be careful not to get targeted by that serial killer."

Yifei nodded and said, "I was also worried about this matter while I was unconscious these past few days."

For some reason, a random, indiscriminate killer has appeared in the Dream World these past few days, murdering several guests on Wudang Mountain and causing the birthday guests to live in fear.

The entire Wudang sect investigated and searched, but they still couldn't find out who this guy was.

Since there were no cameras in ancient times, it was even more difficult to find the real culprit in indiscriminate and random killings.

This is why Xiao Nanfeng kept reminding them to be careful once they reached Wudang; he probably feared that one of them might become the target of this murderer.

Xiao Xian in the suit said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the two of us are more than capable of protecting ourselves. Besides, we ate Mario's Life-Giving Mushroom, so we won't die that easily."

Everyone nodded and sincerely wished them a good time. "Then have a great time!"

"I also hope that you can successfully awaken the south wind tomorrow."

After they finished speaking, the two turned and left.

Just as they were about to leave the Zhenwu Hall, Xiao Xian in the suit suddenly stopped in his tracks.

I'm coming
