Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 575 The Language of Sunflowers (Part 2)

As the knocking sounded, Yu Mo's puzzled voice came from the bedroom.

"Who is it?"

Nanfeng said calmly, "It's me."

As soon as Nanfeng answered, the faint sounds from inside the door vanished instantly.

After a while, Yu Mo cleared his throat and asked.

Who are you?

"goodbye."

He turned around as if to leave, but instead lifted his foot high and stomped it down heavily, making the sound of his footsteps fading into the distance.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Sure enough, Yu Mo's anxious shouts immediately came from behind Nan Feng.

He smiled slightly, then repeated his trick, creating the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of Yu Mo's hurried and anxious movements came from inside the door.

Nanfeng said helplessly, "I wasn't planning on coming into your room, so don't hide your apple core and those broken potato chips. Also, isn't it a bit too late for you to turn off those melodramatic romance dramas on your phone now?"

"You don't need to wear underwear... um, you still need to wear this."

"abnormal!"

Yu Mo's embarrassed and annoyed voice came from the bedroom.

Nanfeng was quite helpless. It wasn't that he was deliberately listening to these things, but it was the middle of the night and it was quiet. Yu Mo was making a lot of noise, so it was difficult for him not to hear them.

After a while, Yu Mo, sitting in Fei Xing's wheelchair, opened the door with a disgruntled expression: "Nan Feng, are you a dog? You change your face so easily!"

"It's better than you knowing full well that I'm pretending not to know."

Yu Mo snorted upon hearing this: "Then what brings you here so late at night?"

Nanfeng pointed to Yumo's left foot, which was wrapped in bandages: "Let me help you change your dressing."

"It's necessary..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nanfeng turned her wheelchair around and backed her out of the bedroom.

Nanfeng pushed Yumo all the way to the living room, where a huge first-aid kit was already placed on the coffee table.

Yu Mo stared wide-eyed at the large medicine box that took up a third of the coffee table.

"You didn't exactly rob the pharmacy, did you?"

"You don't understand, this is called being prepared."

Nanfeng pushed Yumo next to the sofa, and then opened his first-aid kit. He took out bandages, scissors, a disposable scraper, and a large, unlabeled, but clean-looking medicine jar.

He sat on the sofa, carefully placed Yu Mo's left foot gently on his knee, then used scissors to cut the knot and slowly untied the bandage.

Yu Mo couldn't describe her feelings. She just felt restless, her heart pounding as she did a Thomas full twist.

She silently lowered her head, her legs stretched straight, and her hands gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, as if she wanted to crush them.

Yu Mo's complex emotions and actions continued until Nan Feng was halfway through unwrapping the bandages. He suddenly stopped and asked suspiciously, "You...you don't have athlete's foot, do you?"

"Nanfeng, you bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo instantly lost her composure and grabbed a cushion from the sofa, throwing it at him.

Nanfeng looked both amused and exasperated: "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"snort."

Yu Mo turned her head away angrily, too lazy to pay him any more attention.

Nanfeng smiled and continued to slowly unwrap the bandages, revealing Yu Mo's left foot completely to him.

To be honest, Yu Mo is not only beautiful, but her feet are also incredibly beautiful. Her toes are long and symmetrical, her insteps are soft, fair, and delicate, and her ankles are long and gracefully shaped – a true delight for foot fetishists.

Unfortunately, Nanfeng isn't a foot fetishist, and since Yumo has sprained her ankle, all he can see is a huge pig's trotter swollen like a steamed bun.

"It's so swollen! Yifei, this isn't a carp leaping out of the water, it's clearly a failed attempt to leap over the dragon gate and a big fall."

Nanfeng muttered with heartache, then changed the subject and said confidently, "It's alright, my family's secret ointment can cure all kinds of sprains and bruises. As long as you apply it now, I guarantee you'll be jumping around again the day after tomorrow."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Yu Mo squinted, clearly not believing Nan Feng's words. She always felt that the secret ointment Nan Feng mentioned was more like a folk remedy from the countryside.

Nanfeng patted his chest, almost ready to pledge his loyalty to Yumo: "This is not an exaggeration, this is a real and tangible cure. Otherwise, why would I come to find you so late?"

"For flirting?"

"Isn't that right?"

Yu Mo blinked and looked at Nan Feng with a smile.

Nanfeng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. After thinking for a while, he didn't lie this time, but honestly said, "Okay, it does have some truth to it."

"what?"

Yu Mo was clearly surprised that Nan Feng would admit it so readily, which made her, who was strong on offense but weak on defense, panic.

After all, she was a typical girl who was both bad at games and loved to have fun. If Nanfeng wasn't shy about taking the initiative, then it would be Yumo's turn to be shy.

She coughed lightly and urged in a flustered whisper, "You'd better apply the medicine quickly."

Nanfeng chuckled softly, but he didn't press his advantage while Yu Mo was still shy.

He simply lowered his head and carefully examined Yu Mo's feet.

Before applying the medicine, Nanfeng suddenly asked, "Ahem, how about... you go wash your feet first?"

Yu Mo glared at him angrily: "I don't have athlete's foot!"

Nanfeng was both amused and exasperated: "What I meant was to wash your feet clean first, so that the medicine will be absorbed more easily."

"But how am I supposed to wash it like this?"

"How about... I help you?"

Yu Mo was taken aback upon hearing this, and her entire face instantly turned red.

[In his inner world, Nanfeng coughed lightly and said in a serious tone.]

I know everyone is probably not interested in something as boring as washing feet, so let's just skip that.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cacophony of curses erupted around him.

[The rain of rotten eggs and leaves relentlessly engulfed Nanfeng, leaving him terrified.]

【Pooh! 】

……

The scene shifts to Nanfeng carefully applying medicine to Yumo's clean feet with a disposable scraper.

For some reason, what should have been an incredibly ambiguous scene turned into a sales pitch for his family's secret-recipe ointment thanks to Nanfeng's stand-up comedy.

"Don't let this ointment's unassuming appearance fool you, it's incredibly effective."

"When I was a child, no matter what kind of sprains or bruises I had, applying this would make them better in two days at most."

"It's just that Yifei forgot I had medicine here, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to go to the hospital yesterday."

Yu Mo asked instinctively, "Then why didn't you remind Yi Fei?"

"...Because I forgot too."

Yu Mo covered her mouth and chuckled.

After Nanfeng finished applying the medicine to Yumo, she discarded the disposable scraper, skillfully wrapped the bandage around her neck, and even tied a bow.

He put Yu Mo's foot down and began packing the first-aid kit.

"The medicine has been applied. If you don't have anything to say to me, I'm going to head back now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo paused for a moment, then nodded with a fleeting look in her eyes.

"oh."

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow, gently closed the first-aid kit, and coughed heavily again: "If you don't have anything to say to me, I'm really going to head back."

"oh."

Yu Mo lowered her head, not daring to look at Nan Feng. Of course, she knew what Nan Feng meant, but there were some things she could say to Yi Fei, or in front of Zhang Wei and Curry Sauce. But facing Nan Feng, Yu Mo really couldn't bring herself to say them.

Nanfeng picked up the first-aid kit: "Then I'm off."

"Um."

Yu Mo, with her head down, waved her hand frantically towards Nan Feng.

Nanfeng sighed, put down the first-aid kit, and gently pulled Yu Mo's wheelchair very close to him.

"You really have nothing to say to me?"

Yu Mo covered her face with her hands and shook her head vigorously.

Nanfeng said calmly, "I heard everything you said last night."

Yu Mo was so embarrassed that she scratched her toes on the ground. Without even looking up, she was about to drive her flying wheelchair back.

"Calm down, I'm not making fun of you."

Nanfeng pulled Yumo back and turned off Feixing's power.

A smile played on his lips, and he said with a hint of teasing, "You can say these things to Yifei, to Zhang Wei and Curry Sauce, so why don't you dare come and ask me directly?"

"No, this is different... Oh, please stop talking."

At this moment, Yu Mo wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Even though she always considered herself an independent woman of the new era, no matter how independent a woman is, when the person on the other end of the line knew her little thoughts, and that person just came up to her so directly and asked her...

Anyway, Yu Mo felt pretty stupid.

She covered her face awkwardly and muttered in a barely audible voice, "Nanfeng, you've changed. You used to rarely play so directly."

"People always need to improve."

Nanfeng said nonchalantly, "You don't want me to end up like Teacher Zeng and Ziqiao, running away from everything, do you?"

"Ziqiao? What does this have to do with Ziqiao?"

"Um... that's not easy to explain."

Nanfeng waved his hand, too lazy to mention Ziqiao's incredibly stupid behavior just now.

Even if he had just gone to sleep without doing anything, it would have been better than him hesitating for ages and then saying he needed to go to the bathroom.

This guy dares to call himself the king of love?

Pooh!

[Ziqiao: ???]

[Ziqiao: Is it possible that I really need to go to the bathroom?]

Nanfeng shook her head, banishing all thoughts of Ziqiao from her mind.

He gently pried Yu Mo's hands away from his face, looked directly into her eyes, and said, "Instead of letting your mind wander alone, or getting together with Yi Fei, Zhang Wei, and those other unreliable guys for a brainstorming session, why don't you just look at the correct answer?"

Yu Mo looked down at her hands, which were being held by Nan Feng, and for some reason, she suddenly felt much more at ease.

Yu Mo thought for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Nanfeng, tell me honestly, if Yifei and I really couldn't switch back then, what would you have done?"

Nanfeng blinked when he heard the question, then smiled and answered gently but firmly, "Yu Mo, I wouldn't dare say I'm someone who doesn't care about looks at all. But I can say that my liking for you has nothing to do with your appearance or figure."

No matter what you become, I will always love you.

Before Yu Mo could even register a joyful smile, Nan Feng paused and added, "But if you and Yi Fei can't switch back, that's absolutely unacceptable."

"This, this, this is just too much to bear!"

"Nanfeng, you!"

Yu Mo first shouted angrily, but soon she couldn't help but laugh.

Well, let alone Nanfeng, even Yumo herself felt her eyes burning just thinking about that outrageous scene.

Despite her understanding, Yu Mo still glared at Nan Feng with feigned anger, then huffed arrogantly.

"Since you say you don't like my looks or figure, then what exactly do you like about me?"

Nanfeng didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

Yu Mo stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

Nanfeng smiled helplessly: "Please, don't you always say that you are an independent woman of the new era?"

"Saying that you can be presentable in public, cook delicious food, kill Trojan horses, scale walls, drive a car, buy a villa, fight off mistresses, and beat up thugs... Let's not even talk about whether you can actually cook delicious food."

"Yu Mo, you're such a confident and independent person, how come you're starting to become insecure like Teacher Zeng?"

"What do you know?"

Yu Mo pouted and said hesitantly, "Love is like a light on the other person. This light makes the other person shine brightly, while you yourself will appear dull and insignificant."

"Don't you feel that way too?"

"I?"

Nanfeng, who seemed easygoing but was actually very strong-willed and proud, smiled slightly and said, "How could I possibly feel that way?"

"Besides, no matter how dazzling the other person's light is, as long as the lovers hold each other tightly enough, aren't they practically shining together?"

Yu Mo was taken aback by what she heard, and she didn't know what to say.

3604 fell silent for a moment, until Yu Mo once again shared her little thoughts from the past few days.

"These past few days, I've been mainly worried because Xiao Hei said that Yi Fei and I might not be able to switch back. When I heard that, I started to panic and couldn't stop overthinking."

"I'm not just thinking about you and me, but also about my parents, my job, and many other things."

"The more panicked I get, the more I think about it, and the more I think about it, the more panicked I get. Even though I know I shouldn't think like this, I still can't help but worry."

"This isn't just about the changes between Yifei and me, but also about the changes in both of us."

She looked up and asked cautiously, "Your illness..."

Nanfeng replied decisively, "The results of these examinations show a visible improvement. In Xiaohei's words, it's now a sure thing."

"At the earliest, early February next year, and at the latest, late March, everything will be alright."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, muttering repeatedly, "That's good, that's good..."

Then, the two fell silent again.

Nanfeng gently patted Yumo's hand, her eyes full of tenderness.

After a while, Yu Mo suddenly said, "Nan Feng, I've had a very happy year since I moved into this apartment."

"Although I didn't know if you would get better or if we could be together in the future, I have you and everyone else by my side. All I have to do is wait."

"But as the wait was about to end, I felt both excited and afraid about what was going to happen next."

As Yu Mo spoke, her pace quickened, as if a confused person had finally figured everything out.

"I don't know what the future holds for us, or whether we can adapt to these changes and make our lives better as we enter a new phase."

"Of course, the most important thing is..."

Yu Mo took a deep breath, and tonight she finally raised her head and looked directly at the south wind.

I hope the only reason we're together is because I like you, and you happen to like me too.

"Not because I like you and have waited for you for a very long time."

"Nanfeng, if you have any other thoughts, or if you feel that my waiting has become a burden for you, you'd better tell me now."

Nanfeng pursed his lips tightly after hearing Yu Mo's words, remaining silent, but in the end he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Nanfeng released her grip on Yu Mo's hands and pinched her fair and smooth cheeks.

"Yu Mo...you're so cute."

Nanfeng pinched and squeezed Yu Mo's face like dough: "Why would you think that?"

"Stop fooling around!"

Yu Mo slapped Nan Feng's hand away impatiently: "I'm being very serious!"

"I'm answering you very seriously."

Nanfeng put away his smile, looked directly into Yu Mo's eyes, and spoke in a firm and unquestionable tone.

"Yu Mo, I don't like you because you like me. Nor do I like you because you waited for me for so long."

"I like you because you are Qin Yumo, who, although you have a bad memory and are prone to forgetting things, never forgets to care about everyone."

"I like you because you are Qin Yumo, who, although you have no sense of direction and can't tell which way to go, always moves forward and strives for a better life."

"I like you because you are Qin Yumo, who, although you like diamonds, luxury bags, and are a little materialistic, only think about getting these things through your own efforts."

I like you because you are you, just the right person, nothing more, nothing less, everything is just perfect.

Nanfeng gently placed Yu Mo's hand on her chest, her murmurs sounding like a believer swearing an oath to the heavens.

"Yu Mo, you were never my choice."

"You are my destiny."

Yu Mo stared blankly at Nan Feng, and in that instant, she felt all the panic and unease in her heart vanish.

Even if I can't see what will happen in the future, even if I can't predict the final outcome for the two of us.

But none of that matters.

No matter what the future holds, all they need to do is stay like they are now, walking together in step towards happiness and joy.

"south wind……"

Yu Mo murmured softly to Nan Feng, and then slowly closed her eyes under Nan Feng's bewildered gaze.

【South Wind: (⊙o⊙)？】

South Wind: (⊙o⊙)！

【Nanfeng: w(Д)w！！！】

In this situation, let alone Nanfeng, even if it were Zhanbo and Wanyu, Zhanbo would never think that Wanyu closed her eyes because she was sleepy and planning to go to sleep.

From knocking on Yu Mo's door to that final declaration that was almost a confession, Nan Feng, who had remained calm and composed, finally began to visibly panic.

Don't be fooled by Nanfeng's calm demeanor just now; he's never been in a relationship before!

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

At this moment, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Nanfeng's mind.

He began to think about what would happen if this situation wasn't between him and Yu Mo, but with other people in the apartment.

Needless to say, Guan Gu and Youyou, that young couple, Guan Gu would definitely kiss them without hesitation.

If it were Zhanbo and Wanyu, Zhanbo would probably panic and stand there dumbfounded for a long time. Then, when he finally mustered up the courage, he would probably have to make Wanyu wait for him with her eyes closed while he quickly ran to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.

If it were between Ziqiao and Meijia, Ziqiao would probably hesitate mentally, but his body would definitely act faster than his brain. Before Ziqiao had even figured out whether or not to kiss her, he might already be engaged in a "verbal battle" with Meijia.

As for Yifei and Xiaoxian... to be honest, Nanfeng thinks it's very likely that Teacher Zeng is the one who's just waiting for someone to kiss him with his eyes closed.

【Depend on!】

[With so many pairs, not a single option is repeated! How am I supposed to know which is the correct answer?!]

Nanfeng let out a long sigh of frustration, but he quickly realized what was happening.

Why should I worry about what others will do?

I am Nanfeng, when has he ever done things according to my own ideas?

Just do what I think is right.

Nanfeng's brainstorming session may seem complicated, but it actually takes less than three seconds.

With a determined effort, he lifted Yu Mo from the wheelchair and placed her on his lap.

Yu Mo, who was closing her eyes, looking anxious, and clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, suddenly felt her body lighten.

"what!"

Yu Mo kept her eyes tightly closed and let out a soft moan.

She felt her heart skip a beat for a moment, and as Nanfeng lifted her onto his lap, her anxious heart pounded wildly in her chest.

As for Nanfeng, he felt that Yu Mo's body was stiff when he hugged her, and only when he put her on his lap did she soften up as if she had no bones.

Nanfeng felt as if she were holding a light, floating water ball; with just a little effort, this water ball would change according to her will.

He swallowed nervously, his upper body slowly leaning forward, his hot breath gently brushing against Yu Mo's nose, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Then... the south wind suddenly stopped.

Before Yu Mo could even open her eyes in confusion, she heard the sound of someone running fast and swiftly outside.

"Qin Yumo! You're really something!"

"You've gained six pounds in less than three days!"

After taking a shower and habitually weighing herself, Yifei walked out of the door of 3601 without saying a word.

Then... she sprinted to 3604 at a speed that even Nanfeng couldn't keep up with.

Yifei pushed open the door and shouted without looking up, "Qin Yumo, you have to give me an explanation for this..."

She stared at Yu Mo, who was being held sideways in Nan Feng's arms with her eyes closed, speechless and instantly petrified. Her fierce and accusatory roar faded away like a candle flickering in the wind.

The atmosphere at 3604 once again fell into an awkward, deathly silence.

Seeing this scene, Yifei rubbed her eyes, unwilling to give up.

After confirming that it wasn't all a hallucination, her entire demeanor plummeted from its peak to its lowest point.

Yifei said cautiously and timidly with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, maybe I came at the wrong time."

Actually, Yu Mo had said the same thing when Yi Fei and Nan Feng hugged and said goodbye in the dream world.

However, given the current situation, Nanfeng and Yumo certainly wouldn't say to Yifei, "No, you've come at just the right time."

Nanfeng rubbed his face in exasperation and awkwardly put Yu Mo back in the wheelchair.

"...I just came to help Yu Mo apply some medicine."

"Um, um... never mind, I'd better go."

Nanfeng got up, picked up his medical kit, and couldn't wait to leave this place that had brought him to his death.

I'm sorry, Guangu, now I finally understand you!

When Yifei saw Nanfeng about to leave, her expression changed drastically. She quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "Wait! Keep kissing!"

"Can't you just pretend you didn't see me?!"

After Yifei said that, Nanfeng and Yumo were now more embarrassed than just wanting to disappear into the ground.

They both felt like jumping off the balcony.

No, why should the two of them jump down?

If anyone should be jumping, it should be Yifei, the sinner, who jumps!

Oh, those two can't beat Yifei.

That's fine.

/ (ㄒ o ㄒ) / ~~

"Pretending not to see you is difficult, so why don't you just pretend you didn't see me?"

Nanfeng ducked past Yifei's obstruction, picked up the medical kit, and rushed back to 3603.

Now, all that's left in 3604 is Yifei, who's so embarrassed she wants to die, and Yumo, who's so embarrassed he wants Yifei to die.

Look, isn't that a coincidence?

"Yu Mo..."

Yifei had completely lost her fierce and accusatory demeanor from before; instead, she was as docile as a lamb.

She tried to organize her thoughts several times, but she still couldn't figure out what to say.

In the end, Yifei simply asked, "Are you with Nanfeng?"

Yifei's words almost made Yu Mo so angry that she bit her teeth to pieces. A cruel smile appeared on her face, and she said, trembling, word by word.

"Almost there."

When Yifei heard Yu Mo's answer, her scalp tingled.

Almost there, almost there, but what exactly was the difference?

This obviously doesn't require much thought.

Oh no, I've really offended those two guys!

Judging from this, I hope I won't be the only person in the apartment who isn't invited when they get married.

They're my childhood sweethearts, I don't want this to happen!!!

Yifei was on the verge of tears. Faced with Yu Mo's glare, which seemed to want to tear her to pieces, she could only manage a dry laugh: "This, this, this..."

"I won't pursue the matter of you making me gain six pounds in three days; let's consider it even."

"I was never here, and you didn't see me!"

Good night, see you tomorrow.

Before Yifei could finish speaking, she hurriedly and unsteadily left 3604.

"Hu! Yi! Fei!"

Yu Mo was so angry she was practically fuming, and she kept punching the sofa cushion next to her.

Even if I can eat a lot, how could I possibly let you gain six pounds in three days?!

【Who told you to eat so much tonight? Now you have to step on the scale?!】

Just as Yu Mo was venting her embarrassment and anger to the sofa cushions, a heavy thud suddenly came from the balcony.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sunflower doll from Plants vs. Zombies peeking out from her blind spot.

After the sunflower peeked out, another head emerged from behind it.

"Shh!"

Nanfeng gently placed his index finger to his lips and winked playfully at Yu Mo, who stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"I guarantee that absolutely no one will expect me to launch a surprise attack!"

Nanfeng, carrying a sunflower doll in her arms, tiptoed in.

"This is for you."

Nanfeng asked softly, "Do you know what the sunflower symbolizes?"

Yu Mo was taken aback by this, as she genuinely didn't know the meaning of sunflowers. She could only guess randomly, "The meaning of sunflowers is... is it because I gave you too many smiles?"

"what?"

Nanfeng was speechless upon hearing this.

"Isn't that right?" Yu Mo thought for a moment and then said, "Then its flower language means: I really have a V-shaped face?"

"Hahahaha...you."

Nanfeng stuffed the sunflower doll into Yumo's arms: "It's for you."

Yu Mo hugged the sunflower doll's flowerpot with a bewildered expression, and then Nan Feng moved her head in front of her as if it were a flowerpot.

Before she could even react to what was happening, she felt Nanfeng's lips gently press against her forehead.

Yu Mo's pupils dilated violently, and he began to feel dizzy.

"Good night."

She only heard Nanfeng whisper in her ear.

By the time Yu Mo, whose mind was still reeling, came to her senses, Nan Feng had already climbed back into room 3603 from the balcony, feeling guilty.

Yu Mo looked down at the sunflower doll in her hand, thought for a moment, and then took out her phone to search for the meaning of sunflowers.

Sunflowers have many meanings, but the most famous one is probably the one from the Detective Conan movie "Sunflower in the Flames of Inferno," which was released this October.

The sunflower symbolizes... "You are the only one in my eyes."

Yu Mo touched her forehead; she could still feel the lingering warmth of the south wind.

She chuckled softly and casually squeezed the sunflower doll in her arms.

It's a pity it's not sunflower season now, otherwise he would probably have given me a real sunflower.

In that instant, Yu Mo suddenly felt that change was truly the best thing ever.

If nothing changes, how can everyone continue towards a happy and joyful ending?

"Good night."

Yu Mo murmured softly.

3603, Nanfeng, sitting on the swing chair, blinked upon hearing this, and smiled knowingly at Yu Mo.

I'm coming

This is a long chapter of nearly 8,000 words, a small way to make up for yesterday's leave.

After all, the pigeon was originally intended to stop where Yifei pushed the door open and came in, ending the chapter.

As you can see, Nanfeng and Yumo have basically laid all the groundwork, so getting together is just a matter of time.

As for how fast... that depends on the pigeon's typing speed.

Don't worry, everyone. Pigeon has basically thought out the scene for each couple's confession. Although it may not be as grand as Guan Gu and Youyou's, we will try our best to make them unique and not homogenous.

Finally, please subscribe, vote with monthly tickets, recommend—I'll ask for anything! Please!
