Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 553 Zhanbo's Invitation

Although Meijia didn't want to go with Ziqiao to pick up girls at all, she couldn't fight against Ziqiao, whose mentality was subtly deteriorating. In the end, she was dragged away by Ziqiao.

Seeing the two leave, Curry Sauce asked worriedly, "Given the side effects of Brother Ziqiao and Sister Meijia being unable to leave each other, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"Never mind, let Ziqiao go."

Nanfeng frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "I feel that Ziqiao is acting strangely today, and it's not just because of his competitive spirit after being suddenly outshone by Teacher Xian."

Curry Sauce looked bewildered: "Then what else could it be for?"

Nanfeng shrugged: "I don't know."

Guan Gu asked, "Should we go and keep an eye on them?"

"Need not."

Nanfeng refused as expected: "Ziqiao and Meijia can only live without each other, but you two still don't know about the side effects."

"If we go out and keep an eye on them, what if your side effects suddenly flare up? Should I prioritize you or them?"

Guan Gu and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.

What exactly are the side effects of these two?

Nanfeng suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, where is Yifei?"

"Shouldn't she be keeping an eye on the two of you? I haven't seen her or heard a sound from her at all!"

The two shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know where "Yifei" had gone either.

Nanfeng sighed, "None of you are giving me a moment's peace."

Guan Gu and Curry Sauce could only laugh awkwardly upon hearing this; they were clearly very well-behaved, weren't they?

Now everyone in the apartment is either at work or has something to do, leaving only Nanfeng and his two companions bored and alone together.

Curry Sauce suggested, "It's so boring sitting here like this. How about we play something?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu's eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his hand and said eagerly, "Then let's play Dou Dizhu!"

"Yo ho!"

Nanfeng immediately looked at Guan Gu with new respect, and he jokingly said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to know how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) now, Guan Gu?"

Guan Gu shrugged smugly, crossed his legs, and said boastfully, "I've discovered I have the power of money."

Curry Sauce's eyes revealed a clear, naive look: "Superpowers?"

"I've discovered that I win every time I play cards!"

"Would you consider this a kind of superpower?"

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Nanfeng gasped, and asked in astonishment, "Win every single round?"

"Win every single game!"

"What the hell!"

Nanfeng and Curry Sauce immediately became indignant.

They would rather believe in ghosts than believe that Guan Gu could win every single game—unless he cheated.

Don't tell me that Guan Gu doesn't look like someone who would cheat. Nanfeng doesn't believe that anyone in this world could steal cards and switch them right under his ear.

Curry Sauce quickly ran to get the playing cards, and the three of them sat around the sofa to start their afternoon game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

……

A few hours later, as Nanfeng's bomb was once again extinguished by Guan Gu's 119, a bewildered Nanfeng pinched his philtrum hard.

Don't get me wrong, Nanfeng wasn't pinching his philtrum because he was about to faint; he was afraid that if he didn't pinch his philtrum, he would start strangling Guan Gu.

"Every single time there's a 119, Guan Gu, you're kidding me!"

Curry Sauce muttered in a barely audible voice, "I think it's ridiculous that Teacher Nanfeng has bombs in every single one of his moves, okay?"

Nanfeng glared at Curry Sauce: "Can't I just be lucky since I was little?"

"And Curry, whose side are you on?"

Curry Sauce, who was also a farmer, immediately shrank back and fell silent.

Despite Nanfeng's consistently good luck with cards, he ultimately suffered a crushing defeat when faced with Guan Gu's utterly unreasonable and dubious rules for Dou Dizhu, which he had somehow picked up from who-knows-where.

They finally understood why Guan Gu said he would win no matter how he fought—he set the rules, how could he not win!

What about 12581 plus self-draw, what about BMW 747, what about the National Day Golden Week, and being able to escape with seven cards...?

Guan Gu, don't you know that holidays in China are adjusted based on work schedules?!

Nanfeng and Curry Sauce, whose worldviews were completely shattered by the bizarre rules of Dou Dizhu, immediately looked at Guangu. They had been holding back for so long, but finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked the question that had been both on their minds.

"Guan Gu, who taught you how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?"

With a toothpick dangling from his mouth, Guan Gu said smugly, looking every bit the God of Gamblers, "This is what Meijia taught me. I'll surpass her very quickly after I learn it."

"Do you think I have a real talent for playing cards?"

"Beautiful! Jia!"

Nanfeng and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance; they had finally found the culprit.

What they couldn't understand was why Meijia would teach Guan Gu such an outrageous way to play Dou Dizhu.

[In her inner world, Mika flipped through the stack of job postings in her hand, then suddenly looked up and explained.]

Since Guan Gu and Youyou got together, my workload as their personal assistant has been decreasing.

[As long as Youyou is in the apartment, I don't have to do anything all day except cook, but I still get paid the same amount.]

I feel embarrassed even taking this salary, but if I tell Guan Gu directly, I'm worried he and Youyou will overthink it.

So I came up with this unique Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) mode, and every month I lose a portion of my money to Guan Gu. Until I find a new job, this is considered a voluntary pay cut.

[Speaking of which, how much money should I actually lose to Guan Gu?]

Meijia counted on her fingers: one times seven is seven, two times seven is forty-eight, March 8th is Women's Day, May 1st is Labor Day, June 1st is Children's Day...

……

After learning in detail about the process of Meijia teaching Guangu this "Love Apartment-style Dou Dizhu" game, Nanfeng roughly guessed Meijia's idea.

Although the rules of Dou Dizhu that Meijia taught Guangu were rather absurd, Nanfeng and Curry Sauce thought about it and didn't directly tell Guangu that his rules of Dou Dizhu were wrong.

Given Guan Gu's personality, if Nan Feng were to reveal the truth directly, saying that Mei Jia deliberately lost money to him, Guan Gu would likely cause a huge scene.

Of course, the main reason is that they are all bored right now.

Compared to the traditional Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), this kind of imaginative and improvisational Dou Dizhu seems to suit Nanfeng and Curry Sauce's tastes better.

This is why they were able to tolerate Guan Gu for several hours.

After clarifying the rules of Guan Gu's "Love Apartment-style Dou Dizhu" game, the three of them played a few more rounds.

As they played, they saw "Yifei" raise her left leg high and hop to 3602 using only her right leg.

"Yifei?!"

The three of them immediately noticed the bandage and cast on Yifei's left foot. Nanfeng and Curry Sauce quickly went over and helped her to the sofa.

Nanfeng eagerly pressed, "What happened? Yifei, how did you get yourself into this state?"

"Well, it's a long story."

Yifei gritted her teeth whenever she mentioned it. She habitually patted her left leg, which, of course, made her grimace and gasp for breath.

The three of them quickly folded up the bedding of Zi Qiao and Mei Jia on the sofa, piled it up along with their pillows to elevate the sofa, and then carefully moved Yi Fei's left foot to the most comfortable position on the bedding.

"Elevating your feet helps promote blood flow and relieves injury."

Nanfeng crossed his arms, frowned, and continued to ask, "Now you can tell me, what exactly happened?"

Yifei covered her face and said with remorse: Last night I stayed up all night teaching Yumo about work, and then I went to bed a little late.

When I woke up groggily and checked my phone, I was surprised to find that it was almost noon.

"This gave me a jolt, and my first thought was that I was going to be late for work!"

"So I did a somersault... and then I twisted my ankle."

"Depend on!"

The three of them spoke in unison, their faces blank.

They originally thought that "Yifei" had suffered some kind of accident to become like this, but they didn't expect that she had simply gotten out of bed and made herself like this.

Seeing the three people rolling their eyes at her, Yifei immediately became stubborn again.

Hey, hey, hey, please don't look down on me!

"If you want to despise someone, despise Yu Mo. It's because she doesn't exercise and her body is too weak."

"If it were my own body, I definitely wouldn't fail at the somersault!"

Nanfeng complained, "Isn't this all your own fault for being sleepy? A body that can only roll around like a lazy donkey, you insisted on doing a somersault. Who else would you twist if not you?"

Yifei stubbornly snorted.

He then asked, "Why didn't you call us when something so serious happened? You could have at least let us take you to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Yifei immediately cried out in grievance, "I wanted to call you too, but Yu Mo and I switched phones, and she has no memory and didn't tell me the unlock password!"

"I came here hopping and skipping to find you, but you weren't there, so I had to hop and skip to the hospital by myself."

"Luckily, I still had cash in my wallet, otherwise I wouldn't even have money for medical treatment!"

The three of them were both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

The three of them had originally planned to go out for dinner together later, but seeing Yifei like this, they could only order takeout to keep her company.

Just as they had taken out their phones to order takeout, a sudden message in the group chat interrupted all their plans.

[Tang Monk Loves Pantene Shampoo]: My treat, everyone meet at Xiao Nan Guo at 7 pm tonight.

[Tang Monk Loves Pantene Shampoo]: I have something very important to announce to everyone.

Nanfeng smiled knowingly, while the other three were completely bewildered.

Curry Sauce asked, "What's so important?"

"I know!"

Guan Gu guessed, "For Zhanbo to say something is very important, it must be... he confessed his feelings to Wan Yu in a sexual act!"

"...Guan Gu, it's a success."

Guan Gu looked embarrassed: "Sorry, I misspoke."

Upon hearing Guan Gu's guess, Yi Fei was overjoyed: "Really? Then I'm going to be an uncle!"

She immediately slapped the sofa, intending to do a somersault to her feet, which startled the three of them who stepped forward to stop "Yifei".

"Calm down, calm down!"

Nanfeng urgently reminded him, "Don't forget, Guan Gu's guesses are almost always inaccurate!"

Yifei was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then scoffed, "That's true."

"What?!?!"

Guan Gu was full of resentment, but his previous record was too brilliant, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Just wait, this time my guess will definitely be right!

He thought about it with renewed confidence.

I'm coming
