Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 531 The Agreement Between the Big and Small South Winds

Dream World, Nanfeng's Home.

At this moment, everyone in the apartment was filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could grab Nanfeng right now and teach him a good lesson.

He actually pretended to be his father to take advantage of them; that's absolutely outrageous!

Everyone was eager to try, seemingly having completely forgotten what Xiao Nanfeng had just said.

It's not that they're heartless or unable to empathize with what Xiao Nanfeng just said.

However, everyone had already made up their minds yesterday: no matter what, they would bring Nanfeng back to reality, and they would talk things out face to face and face any difficulties together.

As long as we're all together, there's no past that can't be overcome.

Besides, they didn't come to this dream world to grieving for Nanfeng.

They came to take Nanfeng home.

Yifei then thought of Yu Mo, who had also taken advantage of her, and asked, "Since Nanfeng is awake, is Yu Mo awake?"

Xiao Nanfeng stroked her chin and said in a pretentious manner, "Yu Mo... she's probably lost in a sweet dream."

Yifei frowned upon hearing this: "It is or it isn't. What do you mean by 'should be'?"

Xiao Nanfeng snorted, "Oh dear, I've been drifting into shallower dream states lately, so how am I supposed to know if Yu Mo is awake or not? She definitely doesn't look awake."

Suddenly, Youyou's eyes lit up. She leaned forward slightly and asked impatiently, "If Nanfeng and Yumo are a couple in the dream world, then... do they sleep in the same room?"

Wow!

Everyone sniffed, seemingly already catching a whiff of gossip.

Nanfeng and Yumo are probably already in the dream...

Gee tut.

The eyes of these gossipers gleamed with a dazzling light.

"Dame!"

Xiao Nanfeng made an X with his hand and answered seriously, "This is a positive, energetic dream world, and there's even a child like me in the dream. No lewd things are allowed!"

He paused, and then his tone was reminiscent of the way Xiao Xian in the suit commented on Zeng Xiaoxian—a tone of disappointment and frustration.

"Besides, you all know Nanfeng. When has he ever deliberately taken advantage of a girl?"

Actually, Xiao Nanfeng really wanted to say that everyone had overestimated Nanfeng. Even when Yu Mo was drunk, this guy only gently tapped her forehead with his finger. They actually thought that Nanfeng would take action in her dream?

Naive.

too naive.

"……Too."

Everyone's first reaction was that they had been looking forward to nothing, but upon closer reflection, if Nanfeng really did something to Yumo, who was lost in her daydream, then he wouldn't be Nanfeng.

Furthermore, using one's identity in a dream to take advantage of Yu Mo, who has not yet regained consciousness, is itself a great disrespect to Yu Mo.

Once everyone understood this, they stopped gossiping, since they shouldn't indulge in such immoral sweet talk.

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Yifei gestured for Xiaonanfeng to continue, "And then what happened? What happened to you two after that?"

"later?"

Xiao Nanfeng chuckled, his tone filled with childlike boasting and pride: "He wants to be the sacrifice, but I'm not willing to let him do that for me."

"Nanfeng wanted to give me a happy and fulfilling childhood. He thought that maybe this way I could grow up slowly instead of staying at the age of eight forever as a child."

"I know he means well, but I also hope he can treat himself the same way he treats me."

Xiao Nanfeng took a big gulp of cola and continued, "Besides, I've heard my dad say 'it's for my own good' so many times since I was little, but I think if it really is 'for my own good,' then he should give me the freedom to choose."

"I might choose an option that I don't really like for the sake of others, since emotions like family, friendship, and love naturally influence people's preferences when making choices."

"But no matter what I choose, I have to choose it myself."

"Because the choice itself is far more important than what was chosen!"

He casually tossed the empty Coke bottle into the trash can and said with a bright smile, "We've been chatting for a long time, and halfway through, I realized you'd entered the dream world, so I decided to make a bet with him. We'll settle this in one round."

"If I win, then he has to listen to me, and vice versa."

"bet?"

Everyone spoke up in unison.

"That's right."

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head and explained, "The deeper the dream, the slower time passes. So, as soon as you entered the shallow layer of the dream, we had already decided on the betting game down below."

"When you fell into the dream, you must have heard me ask you, 'Would you choose a beautiful dream or an adventure?'"

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, lost in thought: "Is there...?"

"That's because you're all sleeping too soundly!"

Xiao Nanfeng gets angry when this is mentioned. He puffs out his cheeks and says, "Originally, according to Nanfeng and me, we would help those who choose the dream to fulfill their dream, and let those who choose adventure do what they want to do."

"Throughout the process, we cannot influence your decisions based on our own will. For example, Nanfeng cannot kick you out of the dream, nor can I directly pull you into the deeper dream."

"If, respecting your wishes, I can get more than half of the people through the three layers of dreams to come here and stand before Nanfeng without revealing my identity, leaking secrets to you, or using the dream administrator privileges, then I will win."

"As a result, you were all so sleepy that you couldn't answer my questions at all, so I could only follow your desires and let you immerse yourselves in sweet dreams."

"This disastrous start was troublesome enough, but then a serial killer popped up among you and started killing indiscriminately. I thought I was going to lose."

Xiao Nanfeng sat on the sofa, swinging her legs, her expression shifting from annoyance to relief: "Fortunately, there's always a way out. I didn't expect you guys to be so unreliable, but your fantasy partner is quite dependable."

"So I still won this bet."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into an eerie silence, finally understanding what Xiao Nanfeng had done.

No one seemed to mind the two of them betting on each other, since such things were quite common in the apartment.

But if Xiao Nanfeng wins, does that mean their mission in the Dream World is over?

"So we came for nothing? What kind of nonsense is this!"

Yifei felt powerless and shouted at the top of her lungs, "We were all ready to fight the boss, and then you tell us that the boss was killed instantly, and we can just clear the game without doing anything?"

"This is far too hasty!"

Zeng Xiaoxian chimed in with a complaint: "Yeah, I was planning to use my true feelings to wake up Nanfeng and let you all see the brotherhood between Nanfeng and me."

"In the end, it turns out we were just here to make up the numbers."

Guan Gu adjusted his glasses, finally noticing something was wrong first: "Xiao Nanfeng, are you sure you won?"

"What's the problem?" Xiao Nanfeng asked, blinking her eyes.

Guan Gu counted the number of people present: "If we don't count the fantasy partners, there are eleven of us who came to the dream world. Even if we don't count Yu Mo, there should be ten people. More than half of the people are six."

"But there are only five people here: me, Youyou, Yifei, Teacher Zeng, and Wanyu."

"If you include the fantasy partners, that makes sixteen people. We need at least nine of them to pass the test."

"How did it become a case of you winning?"

Despite being in the wrong, Xiao Nanfeng retorted defiantly, "When I made the bet with Nanfeng, there were only eleven of you. Now I've brought seven more people with me. Doesn't that mean I've won?"

Wan Yu sighed, "Well... what a double standard in calculations."

Xiao Xian in a suit and Mario exchanged a glance, then shrugged helplessly.

When there's no need to count the number of people, they're not treated as people; when there is a need to count the number of people, they become two-sevenths of the factors that determine the outcome of the bet.

So, are they even human?

Suddenly, Xiao Xian in the suit asked, "Then what did you mean by crossing three layers of dreams?"

Xiao Nanfeng's eyes darted around, her hands and feet moved awkwardly, and her whole face was filled with guilt.

"Um... don't worry about the details."

"Oh..." Youyou's eyes widened, and she pointed at Xiao Nanfeng, shouting, "You cheated! I'm going to report you to Nanfeng!"

"How did I cheat? I only cut a little content!"

Xiao Nanfeng protested, her neck stiff with arrogance, "You have no idea how bizarre the dreams on the next two levels are! This was a legitimate emergency evasion!"

"And another thing, whose side are you on?!"

"Forehead……"

The crowd was speechless.

Judging from their objectives, they are certainly in cahoots with Xiao Nanfeng, but the problem is... what if Nanfeng doesn't acknowledge his victory, given Xiao Nanfeng's shameless tactics?

Anyway, if everyone were in Nanfeng's shoes, they certainly wouldn't admit to winning a bet that was like a child cheating.

Xiao Nanfeng knew what everyone was worried about. He covered his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "Ever since Yu Mo came, Nanfeng has stayed in the deep dream realm and hasn't gone out so as not to worry her."

"As long as we stick to the same story, we should be able to convince him."

The outspoken Mario asked, "You mean 'liar,' right?"

Xiao Nanfeng: "..."

He coughed a few times, trying to change the subject: "So, are you going to help or not?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and then nodded hesitantly.

"Very good," Xiao Nanfeng said with satisfaction. "Now let's get our stories straight..."

He paused mid-sentence, then urged urgently, "It's too late! They're both on their way up in the elevator. We'll have to play it by ear!"

Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "They came back from grocery shopping so quickly? We haven't even rehearsed our lines yet!"

Xiaoxian exclaimed in surprise, "This elevator stopped working so quickly? We just walked sixteen floors for nothing!"

The others were also startled by the sudden news and panicked, looking around frantically.

You have to understand that Nanfeng is a human lie detector, so it's not easy to fool him, let alone the fact that they are completely unprepared and can only rely on their mouths to make things up.

That's way too difficult!

"Don't panic when something happens."

Xiao Nanfeng clenched his little fists to cheer everyone on: "I believe that with your lying skills, as long as you perform normally, you can definitely fool him, deceive him, and get rid of him!"

"Believe me, you can do it."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this. After hearing Xiao Nanfeng's encouragement, the panic on their faces faded considerably.

Little South Wind is South Wind's fantasy partner. If he thinks everyone can do it, then they should be fine, right?

"Anyway, if you fail to lie, I'll tell Nanfeng that you taught me how to lie."

"You shameless adults have corrupted an innocent child like me! You'll all be blacklisted by Nanfeng!"

Xiao Nanfeng revealed an innocent and harmless smile: "In order to prevent you from being tricked by the petty and vengeful Nanfeng in the future, you must try your best to deceive him."

"Go for it, Ganbatte!"

Everyone: (⊙﹏⊙)!

They're so stupid, so incredibly stupid.

How could they have thought for a moment that Xiao Nanfeng was a gentle little angel cheering them on?

This brat is a little devil!

Everyone was staring fiercely at Xiao Nanfeng when the door to Nanfeng's house was gently pushed open.

Nanfeng, whose face had been smoothed out, and Yumo, whose face was blurred and indistinct due to the application of a face mask, walked in one after the other, each carrying a bag.

"Children, we're back!"

They shouted at their home like a normal couple.

Welcome back!

Xiao Nanfeng rushed forward, squeezed between the two, and held their hands tightly, his face beaming with a radiant smile that no one had ever seen before.

Nanfeng and Yumo smiled at each other, and before they even had time to change their shoes, they bent down and gently kissed Nanfeng's cheeks.

Nanfeng patted Xiao Nanfeng's head, then took the bag from Yu Mo's hand and said to Yu Mo, "Take Xiao Nanfeng to wash his hands first, I'll prepare the ingredients."

"it is good."

Yu Mo changed her shoes, then picked up Xiao Nanfeng, and the two of them playfully strolled into the bathroom.

Looking at this joyful family scene, everyone felt for the first time how vivid and real the word "happiness" could be.

Even though Xiao Nanfeng had repeatedly said he didn't like Nanfeng's fabricated dreams "for his own good," he was still a child. How could he possibly be blind to the happiness that was right in front of him?

It wasn't that he didn't want to immerse himself in his dreams; he just couldn't bring himself to watch Nanfeng silently weave dreams for him.

The two of them, one big and one small...

Nanfeng lifted the bag and said jokingly, "Little brothers and sisters, today I'll show you my cooking skills!"

He had barely finished speaking when he was hit several times by cushions thrown by Yifei and the others.

This guy is just like Ziqiao, a bastard who'd rather die than not take advantage of others!

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

South Wind cried out loudly, "Watch out for my eggs!"

"Your eggs?"

The group exchanged strange glances. None of them had thrown a pillow at Nanfeng's lower body, had they?

Nanfeng, exasperated, said, "I meant the eggs I bought!"

He clearly guessed that Xiao Nanfeng had already told everyone everything, so he simply stopped pretending.

Nanfeng placed the bags she was carrying on the coffee table, opened one of the bags, and showed everyone the results of her shopping.

"Look!"

Everyone glanced at it and exclaimed in astonishment, their eyes wide: "Wow..."

Nanfeng snorted and proudly introduced, "These are chicken eggs, duck eggs, and ostrich eggs."

"Besides these, there are also preserved eggs, salted eggs, quail eggs, goose eggs, balut, pigeon eggs..."

"stop!"

Listening to Nanfeng's string of eggs, Wanyu felt like she was about to turn into a complete idiot: "Why did you buy so many kinds of eggs at once?"

Nanfeng said matter-of-factly, "Because I just crammed at the last minute, and all I learned was how to cook eggs."

I'm coming

Pigeon picked up the report today and made an appointment with the doctor. It's a ligament strain and meniscus degeneration. They used a needle to drain several tubes of fluid from her knee. After that, it's just a matter of taking medication and resting. It's nothing serious.

The tools for writing in bed are almost ready. I'll make some adjustments and try to resume normal updates by the middle of this month.

This chapter has only two or three more chapters left, and it's really almost over.
