Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 533 A fall from a great height or a massive explosion, that is the question.

"Is it that direct?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's words left Nanfeng momentarily speechless. He asked in surprise, "According to the procedure, shouldn't you first make up some bizarre and absurd story to fool me?"

"Would you believe that?"

"Of course not."

"That's settled then." Xiaoxian rolled her eyes at him. "Anyway, you wouldn't believe me even if I made it up, so we might as well just admit it. That way we can save some breath."

"Too."

Nanfeng nodded, secretly feeling regretful.

He had originally wanted to hear just how many outlandish and ridiculous stories these guys could come up with, but it turned out that Teacher Zeng had actually learned to be shrewd.

[Tsk tsk tsk.]

Xiao Xian continued, "Nanfeng, although you won the bet with Xiao Nanfeng, you should still come back with us."

"Your childish game is over."

Nanfeng's eyes widened: "Why? You know, keeping your bet is a glorious tradition of Love Apartment!"

Xiao Xian shrugged cheekily and said, "The only one who made the bet with you from beginning to end was Xiao Nanfeng, not us. He's keeping his word and has to listen to you. What does that have to do with us wanting you to return to the real world?"

"That's right!" Youyou clapped her hands and cheered, "You two made a bet, why should we have to accept the loss too?"

"Tsk..."

Nanfeng clicked his tongue in annoyance. He felt that these guys were cheating, but he had no evidence whatsoever.

Because what they said was absolutely correct.

Xiao Xian sat down and said to Nan Feng very seriously, "Nan Feng, you should be able to guess why we came to the Dream World."

"Although Xiao Hei keeps saying he's worried about the electricity bill and the machine, we all know that what he's most worried about is you."

"It's not just Xiao Hei, we're worried about you too."

Nanfeng lowered his eyes, and it was rare for him to look at everyone directly while chatting.

"It's just a dream, a dream that will end sooner or later."

"We all know this is no longer a matter of dreams."

Xiao Xian in the suit revealed the truth in one sentence: "The deeper the dream, the slower time passes. We spent several days in the first dream. You entered the dream so many hours earlier than us, so how long did you spend in the fourth dream?"

"One month? Several months? Or half a year?"

"Perhaps I should ask, how much longer do you want to stay in this dream?"

"If you stay here any longer, when you wake up, will you really be able to distinguish between dreams and reality?"

Nanfeng replied softly, "It didn't take as long as you think. I was actually in the first layer of the dream at first, and then I gradually went deeper into the fourth layer."

"That would actually make things worse!"

Xiao Xian glared at him angrily and asked with a furrowed brow, "From the first dream to the fourth dream, which level do you intend to stop at?"

"I don't believe Xiao Hei didn't tell you that the deeper the dream, the harder it is to wake up. Nanfeng, you're not really planning to wait until the Dream Machine overloads and ejects you before you're satisfied, are you?"

Xiao Xian in the suit chimed in, "If the Dream Machine overloads and crashes, Xiao Hei will definitely go crazy. Then the world will lose a genius brain because of your selfishness, Nanfeng."

"Hey, you two, that's enough."

Nanfeng looked both amused and exasperated: "How can you guys do this, with your real body and your imaginary companions working together to lecture me!"

He glared angrily at Xiao Nanfeng: "All you do is watch the show from the sidelines, you don't even know how to help."

"help?"

Xiao Nanfeng raised an eyebrow and asked a crucial question: "Whose side are we helping?"

Nanfeng was speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized that if this guy was going to join the battle, he would most likely be with Teacher Zeng and the others.

Even setting aside their differing ideologies, the Chu family can be said to have produced "rebellious sons" generation after generation.

From his grandfather and great-grandfather, to his father and grandfather, and then to himself and his father, which son wasn't rebellious by nature and loved to go against his father?

He and Xiao Nanfeng shouldn't have ended up in this strange, ethically contradictory relationship, but who told him to be so foolish as to insist on being his own father?

Nanfeng quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you should go play somewhere else."

Xiao Nanfeng's sharp tongue is so terrifying that it terrifies not only others, but even Nanfeng himself finds it incredibly troublesome.

"Oh."

Xiao Nanfeng chuckled lightly, enjoying the show as well.

Nanfeng was worried that he would "switcheroo" to Teacher Zeng's side, and he was also worried that Nanfeng would hold a grudge against him for cheating on the bet.

Anyway, both of Teacher Zeng's were unusually tough today, so let's see if they can persuade Nanfeng, this stubborn guy.

Before the two Zeng Xiaoxians could continue, Yifei and the others couldn't just sit by and watch their teammates fight alone.

Yifei advised, "Nanfeng, I know you're stubborn, and it's hard to persuade you. We also know you have your own ideas and thoughts, but this matter is different; it's not something you can do according to your own wishes."

"It's like when Laura came. Even if he didn't want to go for therapy, you still made the decision for him and made me use violence to force him to see a therapist."

"We think the same way you did back then."

Mario nodded: "Yes, yes."

Nanfeng chuckled: "Teacher Zeng was sick because he was ill. Do you think I'm sick too?"

Wan Yu replied quietly, "At least the Nanfeng we know wouldn't knowingly indulge in his daydreams while ignoring the fact that what he's doing will worry everyone."

Mario nodded: "Yes, yes."

Nanfeng fell silent.

Youyou patted Nanfeng on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Nanfeng, I've also had my share of wonderful dreams. I admit it feels great to be a big star or a famous actor in a dream, and I was once so immersed in that feeling that I didn't want to wake up."

"But Xiao Ze and Mu Feng told me that people can't live by dreaming. We still have to face reality and real life."

"Since we already have the ability to find happiness in reality, why should we remain immersed in beautiful dreams?"

Mario nodded: "Yes, yes."

Guan Gu continued, "Nanfeng, reality may not be as wonderful as dreams, but we are still here in reality."

Mario nodded: "Yes, yes."

"hiss……"

Everyone frowned and looked at Mario. Guan Gu asked directly, "Mario, don't you have anything else to say?"

They talked a lot, and Mario kept saying "Yeah, yeah" from behind.

This scene is very similar to the Oath of the Peach Garden between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Liu Bei and Guan Yu talked for a long time, while Zhang Fei could only say, "Me too."

Mario, head down, sullenly poked his index finger and said, "Mario's not good at giving advice..."

"Oh."

The south wind let out a soft laugh.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him again, he said in a gentle tone, "Actually... I know everything you're talking about."

"I know that one cannot dwell on beautiful dreams, and I also know that I should not be trapped in the past."

"Actually, I've grown up and accepted what happened to me a long time ago."

"Whenever I look back on the past, I am grateful that I have a future."

"I just, I just, I just..."

Nanfeng repeated "I just" several times before finally letting out a sigh of frustration.

"I've only learned to accept, but I haven't learned to let go yet."

"I still feel a little regretful, and I still fantasize about what ifs."

He patted Xiao Nanfeng's head as he spoke: "Especially when I saw this little guy for the first time in my dream, I thought: what can I do for him in my dream?"

"Actually, I know that rather than wanting to do something for him, I want to do something for that helpless childhood."

Nanfeng looked at her tiny self, her eyes filled with the loving kindness of a parent.

"Actually... I had already thought it through before you came. No matter whether I win or lose the bet with Xiao Nanfeng, I will listen to him and end this beautiful dream."

"what?"

Xiao Nanfeng looked up in disbelief.

Seeing this, Nanfeng just smiled gently: "What we used to hate the most was that Dad would always say 'it's for my own good' and then force us to do things we didn't like."

"Now that I'm a 'father,' I can't just ignore your thoughts because of my own obsessions like he did."

Xiao Nanfeng's eyes reddened, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Then you still want to make a bet with me!"

"Nonsense, I know your personality too well. If I listened to you so easily this time, you'd be strutting around like crazy."

Nanfeng said disdainfully, "Besides, I didn't expect you to be so stupid. I've been holed up in the fourth layer of the dream and haven't come out, yet you still don't understand what I mean."

"You cheat when you should, and you cheat when you shouldn't. You're utterly foolish!"

Little South Wind made a funny face.

Nanfeng smiled helplessly and forlornly.

The group exchanged glances, then stood up and pressed themselves close to Nanfeng.

Everyone placed their hands on Nanfeng's shoulders, head, and cheeks, as if trying to convey more warmth to him in this way.

Xiao Xian patted Nan Feng's hand, and for the first time, he looked a bit like a host of an emotional talk show.

"Nanfeng, reality is definitely not as wonderful as dreams, but we will make you like it more and more."

"Teacher Zeng, I think you were really handsome in my dream," Nanfeng praised.

"Yeah?"

Xiaoxian fixed his hair and instantly reverted to his extremely narcissistic self.

Nanfeng looked embarrassed: "...I'm not sure now either."

Yifei shrugged nonchalantly: "That's normal. He's just a guy who can only be cool for three seconds."

Just as everyone was exchanging smiles, suddenly the ground shook violently, and the entire building began to sway wildly.

Everyone standing around Nanfeng lost their balance and began to sway. Fortunately, they grabbed onto the people around them and anything else they could grab onto, which prevented them from falling flat on their backsides.

"What's going on?"

Youyou was shocked: "Earthquakes happen in Shanghai too?"

Almost at the same time as the earthquake, the previously sunny and cloudless sky suddenly turned dark.

Layer upon layer of dark clouds, stretching as far as the eye can see, appeared out of nowhere, instantly isolating the sun from the earth. Only a few hazy lights rippled through the dark sky; these were not sunlight, but blinding flashes of lightning that danced like silver snakes deep within the clouds.

Guan Gu was so frightened by this sudden and drastic change that his face turned pale. He shouted in horror, "Could this be the legendary end of the world?"

Nanfeng looked at Guangu in surprise: "Unbelievable, you actually guessed right this time."

Sure enough, with Guan Gu's abstract reasoning ability, he could only become a famous detective on the eve of the apocalypse.

Nanfeng silently complained to himself while snapping his fingers.

In an instant, the earth stopped shaking, the dark clouds dispersed, the thunder disappeared, and the brilliant sunshine once again generously covered the earth, bathing every inch of land in warm and dazzling light.

Once they regained their footing, they finally and shakily loosened their grip on everything.

Wan Yu patted her chest and exhaled repeatedly. Compared to the others whose hearts were pounding with fear, her face showed more excitement and agitation.

"That was so exciting! Can we do it again?"

"That probably won't work. That was the Dream Device's overload warning, which means the Dream Device is about to crash."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and Yifei said with a bitter face, "No way, is the Dream Machine going to give out so soon?"

Everyone assured Xiao Hei that they would definitely be able to pull Nanfeng out of the dream before the Dream Machine crashed.

Just when they were about to succeed, the Dream Machine started to overload.

Then their trip was for nothing!

If they wake up, Xiao Hei will have no idea how to mock them.

Xiao Nanfeng snorted, "It's normal for so many of you to be overloaded when you all enter the fourth level of the dream at once, which is why I told you from the beginning to hurry up."

Youyou asked dejectedly, "What do we do then? Are we just supposed to wait for the Dream Machine to crash?"

"That's not entirely true."

Nanfeng laughed and said, "The difference in time flow between the fourth dream and the real world is quite exaggerated. The few seconds of real time from when the Dream Device issued an overload warning to when it actually crashed should be equivalent to a few minutes left in the fourth dream."

"As long as we act quickly and leave in time, we should be able to save the Dream Machine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and Xiaoxian immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry back!"

"All right."

Nanfeng shrugged and said the most terrifying thing in the most indifferent tone: "Now, you can choose how you want to die."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Nanfeng asked, "Before you came in, didn't Xiaohei tell you that the deeper the dream, the harder it is to wake up?"

"Especially after entering a deep dream, is it necessary to fall from a great height, experience a huge explosion, or suffer a major blow in order to wake up?"

"He seems to have said something like that..." Xiaoxian asked timidly, "But isn't there any other way?"

"Once you enter the deep dream realm, everyone is the same, including me."

Nanfeng said calmly, "To save time, let's not think about other ways to die. It would be troublesome if we didn't die. Let's choose between falling from a great height and a huge explosion."

Here it comes!

A misjudgment has resulted in an additional chapter.

I'm so sorry.
