Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 573 At Least I Came Here

"Lisa, be careful on your way."

"Lisa, take care."

Yifei and Xiaoxian in their suits waved to Lisa in the car with big smiles. But after Lisa drove away, their once vibrant energy seemed to be drained away instantly. They hunched over, their faces drooping, looking like dazed zombies.

"Oh my god, it's finally done."

Yifei pressed her swollen temples with both hands, and groaned listlessly, "I really didn't expect that Lisa would be even more difficult to deal with than those weird tenants who require us to negotiate and mediate."

"Luckily, we worked well together, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to win her over."

"normal."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, rubbed his temples, yawned, and said casually, "Given Lisa's feelings for Zi Qiao, it's quite remarkable that she didn't go crazy on the spot when she suddenly saw Zi Qiao and Mei Jia like that, and that she could still patiently listen to us."

"Putting everything else aside, if you were in Yifei's shoes, what would you do?"

"Is that even a question?"

After putting herself in Lisa's shoes, Yifei sneered, "If it were me, I would definitely reward Ziqiao, that scumbag, and all of you cronies with a bullet and a flashbang each."

"That's why Lisa truly lives up to her name."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, smiled faintly, then looked at Yi Fei, trying his best not to let the smug smile on his face be too obvious.

I apologize for interrupting your dinner and affecting your date.

Yifei waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing. Compared to a handsome guy with good looks, your career prospects and Ziqiao's safety are more important."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, yawned and asked casually, "So, do you and that Young Master Shen... still have a chance?"

Yifei frowned and pondered for a long time before finally sighing regretfully.

"Actually, there is a chance, but... never mind."

She muttered dejectedly, "Because of you guys today, I've completely lost face in front of Shen Linfeng and Liao Liao. I'm really too embarrassed to approach you again."

"Besides, if I were to actually become boyfriend and girlfriend with Shen Linfeng, I would have to explain to him why Nanfeng is not my brother, why Ziqiao and Meijia are not siblings, and why Meijia is not blind... Just thinking about it is incredibly troublesome."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, chuckled. After receiving this answer, he felt much better and even asked, feigning concern, "But isn't he your ideal type? Wouldn't it be a pity to miss out?"

"He's just my ideal type in terms of looks."

Yifei snorted and once again stated her criteria for choosing a partner, which she had repeated countless times: "My man, Hu Yifei's man, must either be smarter than me or stronger than me."

"Otherwise, how could he possibly win me over?"

"so?"

"Therefore, intelligence and strength are the most important things; looks and physique are merely seasonings at best."

"Besides, even if Shen Linfeng is my ideal type, as long as my boyfriend is handsome enough, I don't need an ideal type."

"It's like Guan Gu kept saying he liked feminine girls before he even started dating, but he still ended up with Youyou."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in a cheeky tone, "If someone as handsome as me were to crush your ideal type, would they?"

Upon hearing this, Yifei couldn't help but chuckle: "You're so funny."

Xiao Xian in a suit: (⊙﹏⊙).

"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back."

Yifei asked Xiaoxian in his suit, "Did you drive here?"

He nodded.

"That's perfect, I'll just take your car back."

Xiao Xian in the suit nodded again, then he let out a long yawn.

Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "You're sleepy so early?"

She turned her head and carefully examined Xiao Xian in his suit, only to discover that he had actually covered his dark circles with foundation.

"What the hell!"

Yifei exclaimed, "Your dark circles are so bad, it looks like you've been punched!"

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, remained silent.

Yifei thought about Xiaoxian's early departures and late returns these past two days, and asked directly, "How much sleep have you had in the past two days?"

Xiao Xian in the suit didn't want to say, but under Yi Fei's repeated questioning, he still had to reluctantly hold up one finger.

She was immediately terrified.

"You only slept for one hour in two days?!"

"...No, I haven't slept at all."

"Depend on!"

Yifei was momentarily speechless. She patted her forehead and then glared unceremoniously at Xiaoxian in his suit: "You haven't slept for two days and two nights. Are you afraid you'll die from overwork?"

Before he could say anything more, Yifei reached out and asked Xiaoxian in the suit for the car keys.

"I'll drive this car. You're so sleepy right now, if you keep driving you'll definitely cause an accident."

Xiao Xian in the suit didn't argue much. He obediently handed the car keys to Yi Fei, and the two of them drove the new car towards the apartment like a fish swimming.

On the way, Yifei glanced at Xiaoxian in his suit, who was still engrossed in writing and drawing on his phone. She frowned and asked, "You're so sleepy, why aren't you going to sleep? What are you busy with on your phone?"

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, felt his eyelids getting heavy. He forced himself to stay awake and said, "I'm making a ten-year life plan and happiness strategy for Zeng Xiaoxian."

"This includes, but is not limited to, how much money he should save each month, what kind of financial projects he should invest that money in, and the amount of exercise and physical training he should ensure each day, week, month, and year."

"And what conditions should he meet to try to continue his career advancement? At what age should he buy a house, get married, and have children... Oh, and do you think I should write down some parenting methods for him too?"

Yifei was completely stunned; she almost stepped on the gas and crashed into the car in front of her.

This isn't some kind of life planning or happiness guide... it's clearly a walkthrough for an online game!

Yifei really wanted Guangu, who loves making plans, to listen to what Xiaoxian in a suit had to say.

Guan Gu, look at this! Look at them! This is what planning looks like!

By the way, what is Guan Gu doing now?

Xiao Xian in the suit continued, "Besides these, there are many other miscellaneous things, which I've written down in my memo."

"When Zeng Xiaoxian comes back, remember to remind him to go see it."

"Oh……"

Yifei nodded silently. Looking at Xiaoxian's tired face in his suit, she couldn't help but ask, "Couldn't you have waited until you've rested before doing these things?"

"no."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, rubbed his face: "Although I don't know when we'll switch back, I can feel that I don't have much time left."

"I don't have time to waste on pointless things like sleeping."

Yifei asked with a strange look, "You've made so many plans and strategies, do you really think Zeng Xiaoxian will do as you say?"

"Definitely not."

Xiao Xian in the suit sneered, "If this good-for-nothing could do all that, he wouldn't be in this state at almost thirty years old."

"If it weren't for the help of you friends, he would probably still be a radio host who ranks last."

Yifei found this even stranger: "Since you know he won't do as you say, why did you write so much?"

"Anyway, writing these things isn't too strenuous, so I'll just treat it as something I write for fun."

"Besides, if I write ten points, he can only manage to do one at most."

"So when I write 10,000, he can at least manage 10."

Even if the efficiency of change and progress is low, it is still better than doing nothing and making no progress or change at all.

"hiss……"

Listening to Zeng Xiaoxian in his suit, Yifei couldn't help but be moved: "Aren't you being a little too good to Zeng Xiaoxian? Even his own father wouldn't do this."

I don't quite understand what you mean.

He leaned back in his chair and yawned. He didn't know if it was because Yifei was beside him, but he felt sleepiness creeping up on him.

"Isn't it perfectly normal for me to make life plans and create strategies for happiness?"

Yifei hesitated for a moment, but still honestly told her what was on her mind: "But I've always felt that you two are completely different people, and you have no obligation to do so much for his life."

"I think you should live your own life and enjoy the miracle that the Dream Machine has brought you."

After listening to Yifei's words, Xiaoxian in his suit smiled warmly, a rare sight on his face.

"Although I hate to admit it, he and I have never been separate individuals."

"I am his fantasy and his hope for a better future; he is my reality and the meaning of my existence. There is no such thing as your life and my life between us."

Xiao Xian, dressed in a suit, paused, his speech slowing as drowsiness crept in: "To put it more bluntly, we are the same person with two sides."

"He is Zeng Xiaoxian, and I am Zeng Xiaoxian."

"Or rather, he is not Zeng Xiaoxian, and I am not Zeng Xiaoxian. Together we are the Zeng Xiaoxian you know."

He slowly turned to look at Yifei: "And what do you think I should do to truly enjoy this hard-won miracle?"

Without hesitation, Yifei said, "Eat delicious food, drink delicious drinks, have fun, and do what I want."

"But I'm a fantasy companion. Do you think there's a lack of delicious food, drinks, and fun activities in a fantasy world?"

"Can fantasy even count?"

"It doesn't make much difference to me."

He leaned back in his chair, squinting at the glaring streetlights on both sides of the road, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

Xiaoxian murmured softly, "As for doing what you want to do...aren't I doing what I want to do right now?"

"Food, clothing, and daily necessities, no matter how good they are, are just embellishments to me; I don't care about them."

"Someone as outstanding as me didn't come to reality just to be a useless person and demand anything from this world."

"At least, at least, at least I should leave my mark on this world, on you, and on my own life."

"That's the only way to prove... I was here."

Yifei remained silent upon hearing this, only her eyes blinked.

If the person in front of her really was another side of Zeng Xiaoxian, she suddenly realized that she didn't know as much about Zeng Xiaoxian as she had imagined.

At least I rarely cared about his inner world, and I was even more unaware that there might be something else hidden beneath his sleazy exterior.

Xiao Xian smiled mysteriously and said to Yi Fei, "Actually, I have prepared a special gift for you, but the time is not right yet."

Yifei immediately became curious: "What kind of gift is it, and when is it due?"

He shook his head: "It cannot be said, it cannot be said..."

Yifei wanted to continue asking about the special gift, but instead she heard a soft snoring sound beside her.

Two days without sleep were simply too exhausting for him.

Yifei sighed in frustration and could only continue driving silently.

After she drove back to the apartment and parked the car, she saw that Xiaoxian was still fast asleep. She thought for a moment and did not wake Xiaoxian up directly. Instead, she sat down quietly and played on her phone.

Gradually, Xiaoxian's body slowly tilted towards Yifei until his big head landed lightly on Yifei's shoulder.

Yifei's lips twitched slightly, but seeing that even her own Flash of Light didn't react to him, Yifei simply let him be.

"Yifei..."

Xiaoxian murmured softly in his dream.

Yifei, engrossed in her phone, replied irritably, "What?"

"It's so good to have you here."

She turned her head in surprise to look at Xiaoxian, only to find him still fast asleep, even drooling on her shoulder. Yifei gave Xiaoxian a disgusted look.

She put down her phone, closed her eyes to rest, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, Yifei's helpless mutterings echoed in the car.

"I really lost to you."

I'm coming

At this point, the story of the fantasy companions is basically over, and there shouldn't be any more chapters closely related to them, unless the author comes up with some creative idea that they feel compelled to write.

By the way, is it that most people don't really like the storyline about fantasy partners?
