Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 576 Back on Track

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

These past few days, Yifei has been avoiding Nanfeng and Yumo, but seeing that the two of them don't seem to have any intention of settling scores with her, and Yumo is always cheerful, her heart has finally settled down.

Although Yifei was really curious about what had happened between Nanfeng and Yumo that night, she felt guilty for interrupting their good time and for not being punished later. So she didn't dare to ask Yumo what had happened, let alone tell him anything.

As for Guan Gu and Youyou, they were really unlucky.

When the two were pestered by Ziqiao and the others with mischievous grins the next morning, asking "What exactly does this mean?", Guan Gu and Youyou were just as socially awkward as Ziqiao and Meijia the night before, and Nanfeng and Yumo in the middle of the night.

However, from a certain perspective, it's fair to say that they deserve to be the subject of ridicule.

Back when Curry Sauce ate something in the middle of the night and simultaneously controlled Guan Gu to bite Youyou's lip until it bled, Nanfeng had already advised the young couple to restrain themselves for the next few days.

As you can see, couples in the throes of new love crave excitement and simply won't listen to advice.

Tsk tsk tsk, now everyone knows exactly which hand Guan Gu likes to use to touch Yoyo. For the thin-skinned Guan Gu, this is enough to make him shout out that classic seppuku.

Perhaps because this social failure was so embarrassing, Guan Gu and Youyou surprisingly didn't spend any time together in the following days.

As for Ziqiao and Meijia, perhaps Meijia's words that night had some impact on Ziqiao, as he has been unusually... well-behaved these past few days.

In the following days, he neither complained about going out to pick up girls nor came up with any bad ideas that only cared about his own amusement. He even took the initiative to help Meijia with the housework.

Just when everyone was starting to wonder if Ziqiao was going to turn over a new leaf, he once again revealed his true colors.

That time, everyone went to Xiao Hei's place for another medical check-up. The results showed that Zi Qiao and Mei Jia's side effects had disappeared, and they could finally separate.

Then Ziqiao galloped off to the bar and didn't return to his apartment for several days afterward.

With the side effects of Ziqiao and Meijia disappearing, it also means that everyone in the apartment, except for Xiaoxian, has returned to normal.

As for Teacher Xian, although he hasn't switched back with Teacher Zeng yet, as time goes by, he has gone from not sleeping for two days and two nights straight to needing to sleep for fifteen hours a day just to maintain his energy.

According to Xiao Hei, the two personalities should have been switched back long ago. It's just that Xiao Xian in a suit is holding on with his incredibly strong willpower, determined to finish what he's only halfway through.

Given Mr. Xian's personality, he was unwilling to believe that Zeng Xiaoxian was capable of finishing the rest of the work, nor was he willing to leave Zeng Xiaoxian with a mess.

……

Several more days have passed, and today is a rare Saturday.

On Saturday morning, Zhang Wei came to 3601 for breakfast as usual. While eating, he sighed, "Sigh, it feels like just yesterday last year."

Zhanbo sipped his congee and casually remarked, "It's only January 2nd now; last year it would have been the day before yesterday."

Everyone chuckled softly, but Wan Yu, like Zhang Wei, sighed, "Now that you mention it, I realize that I've been away from home for almost a year and a half."

Zhanbo asked, "Wanyu, are you homesick?"

Wan Yu nodded: "Yeah, I wonder how my parents are doing now."

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei almost spat out all the porridge in his mouth.

Wan Yu was actually worried that her parents, who were Fortune 500 companies and had a net worth of tens of thousands, were not doing well.

What kind of talk is that!

Wan Yu clearly understood what Zhang Wei was thinking, but she was too embarrassed to tell him that being rich and living well are two different things, and that being rich doesn't necessarily mean being happy.

Because given Zhang Wei's personality, he would definitely say, "Why don't you share some of the money with me? I've also thought about experiencing a life where having money doesn't necessarily guarantee happiness."

Seeing Wan Yu's dissatisfied look, Zhang Wei knew that Wan Yu wasn't just complaining; she simply felt that her parents missed her a lot.

Zhang Wei coughed lightly: "Wanyu, if you miss home, you can go back and visit them during the Spring Festival."

"Now that you have your own career, your father probably won't stop you from pursuing your freedom and dreams anymore."

"this……"

Wanyu was somewhat tempted by Zhang Wei's suggestion, but she hadn't yet figured out if her current achievements were enough to face her parents. She could only give a perfunctory reply: "I'll think about it some more."

No one said much; they just ate their breakfast in silence.

Zhanbo suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, what New Year's wishes did you all make during the New Year's countdown?"

"I won't tell."

Yu Mo made an X with her hand: "Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."

Upon hearing this, Yifei, a staunch materialist, curled her lip and said, "Feudal superstition."

Yu Mo turned her head and asked with a smile, "Then why did you insist on gathering us all together to make wishes on Christmas? Why didn't you say that making wishes was feudal superstition?"

Yifei's eyes widened, and she stammered, "That, that's Christmas! Can a Christmas wish be the same as a New Year's wish?!"

Yu Mo snorted: "Tch, double standards."

Wanyu smoothed things over, saying, "Well, wishes are something that come true if you're sincere."

"Besides, New Year's wishes won't come true if you say them out loud on the day itself. It's already January 2nd, so everyone can say them now."

Yu Mo nudged Nan Feng: "Is there such a saying?"

Nanfeng shrugged blankly: "If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't even know that you have to make a wish during the New Year's countdown."

"All right."

Seeing that everyone was engrossed in eating breakfast and not very enthusiastic about sharing their New Year's wishes, Zhanbo said loudly, "Everyone! Everyone! Could you please cooperate a little?"

"Alright, alright." Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Zhanbo glanced at Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, you go first."

"I?"

Zhang Wei sat up straight and, like a lawyer giving a speech, expressed his New Year's wishes.

"My New Year's wish is: First, I need to save enough for a down payment on a house."

"Secondly, I want to marry a woman."

"Third, I need to convince her to help me pay the mortgage."

"fourth……?"

"Zhang Wei, wait a minute!"

Yu Mo's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "You made so many wishes during the countdown?"

Zhang Wei blinked: "What's the problem? You didn't say you could only make one wish."

Nanfeng chuckled and teased, "Brother Wei, could you please broaden your perspective a bit more?"

"This is a New Year's wish, not a life plan. Why are you being so stingy and petty when you make a wish?"

"Why can't you just wish for yourself to become rich overnight and have a harem of wives and concubines?"

Zhang Wei said embarrassedly, "I think wishes shouldn't be too unrealistic. I don't buy lottery tickets, I don't speculate in stocks, and I don't engage in illegal or criminal activities. I've basically eliminated the possibility of getting rich overnight, so making such a wish would be pointless."

Nanfeng shook his head helplessly: "I don't know whether to say you're pragmatic or lack ambition."

"Zhang Wei, broaden your horizons. Who says you can't get rich overnight by being honest and hardworking? Maybe some rich heiress will take a liking to you at first sight?"

Instead of becoming excited upon hearing this, Zhang Wei looked as if he couldn't bear to recall it.

"You think I haven't thought about this? I've already tried and it didn't work, haven't I?"

"When did you...?"

Nanfeng suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten about Xiaoli.

He patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder: "In that case, you should just work hard and honestly to get rich."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Zhang Wei asked irritably, "Nanfeng, all you do is criticize me. What's your New Year's wish?"

Nanfeng replied, "My wish is..."

"ah!!!"

A high-pitched scream suddenly came from Zeng Xiaoxian's bedroom.

Nanfeng frowned and covered his ears tightly with both hands.

He sighed helplessly, his face full of disappointment, and said, "My New Year's wish is that there will be fewer ear-piercing screams like this this year."

As expected, making wishes at New Year's Eve doesn't work at all!

The next moment, Zeng Xiaoxian, wrapped in his bathrobe, rushed out of his bedroom in a panic.

He pointed to his room, his voice trembling with terror: "My, my, my room, how come my room has changed so much?"

"My bedsheets, my pillows, the decorations in my room, and so many other things—everything has been replaced!"

Xiao Xian looked at Nan Feng and the others eating breakfast at the dining table and felt his mind go completely blank.

"No, no, no, no!"

Zeng Xiaoxian retreated repeatedly, closing his eyes and slapping his head hard, trying to figure out what was happening.

"Shouldn't we have just come out of the dream world? How come we are back in 3601?"

"Could it be that I've fallen into a deeper level of dream?"

"Or is the Dream World and the Dream Machine just a dream I had all along?"

The group exchanged glances. The scene before them made them realize, without much thought, that their familiar teacher, Teacher Zeng, had finally returned.

"Teacher Zeng, calm down, you're not dreaming..."

Wan Yu was about to explain things to Zeng Xiaoxian when she seemed to suddenly remember something and paused in her speech.

With a playful glint in her eyes, Wan Yu said with a mixture of excitement and seriousness, "Teacher Zeng, you're finally back."

"Do you know that a year has passed since you entered the dream world and now that you've woken up!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxian was struck dumb, and froze on the spot.

The others glanced at Wanyu in surprise, but she just chuckled and shrugged innocently.

Teacher Zeng entered the dream world in 2015; it is now 2016.

[It has been a year, I'm not mistaken.]

I'm coming
