Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 595 One person's happiness, two people's pain

Ziqiao is really in a bind right now.

He never imagined that his haste to use the restroom would lead to such a huge blunder.

Even someone as clever as Ziqiao wouldn't know what to do at this point.

Just tell the truth and say that this was actually just a misunderstanding?

Stop joking, Wanyu is right here.

If I were to tell everyone now that this coat was actually a Valentine's Day gift from Zhanbo to Wanyu, then everything would be over.

Besides, everyone now thinks this coat is Mika's birthday present. If he dares to shatter their beautiful illusion, he will definitely be killed by these angry guys!

But if he didn't explain and just went along with it, giving the coat as Meijia's birthday present, how would he face Zhanbo? And where would he get the money to make up for the money Zhanbo spent on the coat?

Damn it, if I had known, I shouldn't have volunteered to buy Zhanbo a coat for a thousand yuan kickback.

This is it, it's completely over!

I'm really in a dilemma now; I'm doomed either way!

"Ziqiao".

Just as despair began to creep into Zi Qiao's eyes, and he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to write his will, Mei Jia's call forcibly pulled him back to reality.

Meijia, holding the coat, looked at Ziqiao with teary eyes, and walked slowly towards him.

Seeing this, Yu Mo and the others wisely distanced themselves from Zi Qiao, and a group of them gathered around and began whispering and making faces at each other.

When Ziqiao saw Meijia's tearful appearance, he felt a mix of emotions.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

"Can you stop? Stop!"

In his inner world, Ziqiao collapsed to the ground in despair, surrounded by wads of used tissues.

[Ziqiao beat his chest and stamped his feet on the spot, tears streaming down his face.]

【Mika, why are you crying? I'm the one who should be crying!】

Do you even realize that the tears you're shedding right now are the result of the foolish decision I made when I decided to buy Zhanbo that coat?

He grabbed a wad of tissues from the ground to wipe his tears, saying, "No, I just wanted to be a middleman and earn some extra money."

What did I do to deserve this?!

Is greed a reason to die?!

[Ziqiao, who was wailing, suddenly stopped and asked in confusion: Who left these tissues?]

[At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxian's voice-over comes in: Oh, I was just crying right where you were.]

By the way, that wad of tissue in your hand looks like the one I use to wipe my nose.

【vomit……】

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao immediately threw away the tissue, clutched his chest, and dry heaved repeatedly.

Even though Zi Qiao kept telling Mei Jia not to cry, Mei Jia's big, watery eyes were still full of tears.

"Ziqiao, I thought you had forgotten my birthday, but I didn't expect you to give me such an expensive gift."

Between sobs, Mika said, "I...I...this is the best birthday present I've ever received in my life."

"Thank you."

She finally couldn't suppress her emotions and opened her arms to hug Ziqiao, whose expression was incredibly complex.

At this moment, Ziqiao wished he could rush to Guangu's room, grab his katana, and commit seppuku himself.

What exactly was the reason that made him so ashamed that he wanted to commit seppuku? Even Ziqiao himself wasn't sure.

Ziqiao gritted his teeth and decided to talk to Meijia first.

No matter how touched Mika was, this coat never belonged to her in the first place.

Since this coat will eventually be returned to Wanyu, Meijia shouldn't be allowed to invest any more emotion in it.

He took a deep breath and whispered in Mika's ear, "Mika, there's something I have to tell you."

"Regarding this coat, I was actually standing in for Zhan..."

Ziqiao lowered his head slightly in guilt. Only at this moment did he see clearly Meijia leaning against him, crying with tears streaming down her face, yet smiling brightly.

Crystal-clear tears welled up in Meijia's red eyes and rolled to the ground like beads from a broken string.

Tears blurred Mika's pretty face, but they highlighted her heartfelt smile.

At this moment, Mika is like a flower in full bloom, covered in morning dew.

I've known and fallen in love with them, broken up and gotten back together for so many years, and then we unexpectedly reunited two years ago, and we've been living together ever since...

He had never, ever seen Mika like this before.

In that instant, Ziqiao felt as if his heart was being crushed by a massive boulder, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He found it difficult to think or imagine what Mika would be like when she found out it was all a misunderstanding.

Meijia released Ziqiao, and asked with a smile tinged with tears, "Show what?"

Ziqiao pursed his lips and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This coat... is actually the most beautiful one I saw in the showroom."

"Mika, do you like it?"

"Wow……"

The onlookers sighed with gossip, but then all instinctively covered their mouths, trying to minimize their presence as much as possible.

Meijia nodded repeatedly, saying, "I like it very much."

Ziqiao forced a smile and reached out to pinch Meijia's cheek: "Alright, stop crying."

"It's your birthday today, let's cheer up and smile."

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words; the more he did, the more Meijia burst into tears.

"Although, although I once wanted to kill you, thankfully I didn't act so quickly."

"Yeah?"

Having already foreseen his fate, Ziqiao smiled bitterly and said in a voice barely audible, "You don't need to lift a finger now. Zhanbo will help you fulfill this long-cherished wish."

Meijia didn't hear Ziqiao's words; she continued talking to herself, "I know you want to make up for your past mistakes, but actually I don't blame you anymore. I was just pretending."

She hugged Ziqiao tightly again, sobbing uncontrollably, "How can I ever thank you, Ziqiao?"

"hehe."

Ziqiao felt there was only one way to save himself: "Could you all collectively lose your memories today?"

"What?"

"No, I meant..."

Ziqiao paused, took a deep breath, and said in his most sincere tone, "Meijia, happy birthday!"

Meijia hugged Ziqiao even tighter.

"Happy Valentine's Day!"

The onlookers, listening to the conversation between the two, also wore happy and warm smiles.

With her fingers intertwined, Youyou showed everyone what a genuine auntie smile looked like: "If we could wrap up filming right now, that would be wonderful."

"Life's a long road ahead; wrapping up filming now would be like abandoning the project, wouldn't it?"

Nanfeng arrived before he did, his voice preceded his arrival. He and Zhanbo came to 3602 one after the other.

Nanfeng, who came up in the elevator, happened to miss the most important part. He said with a grin, "Let me see what kind of gift Ziqiao gave Meijia that could move you all like this."

When Youyou saw Nanfeng and Zhanbo return, her eyes suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.

She walked quickly to the two of them, gathered her emotions for a moment, and prepared to deliver the explosive news.

"Ziqiao, he..."

"Look, this is a birthday present Ziqiao gave me!"

Youyou had barely started when an excited Meijia grabbed her coat and skipped over to Nanfeng and Zhanbo to show it off.

[In her inner world, Youyou felt like she was about to vomit blood: Wasn't it agreed that I would be the one to announce it?!]

[Yifei's voiceover comes in: We did agree to your request, but Meijia didn't.]

【ah?!!】

[Youyou collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from her mouth like a fountain, shooting three zhang high.]

As for Nanfeng and Zhanbo, their smiles froze the moment they saw the coat in Meijia's hand.

Zhanbo, in particular, felt for the first time in his life that his brain was not functioning properly.

[Is this the coat I was going to give to Wanyu?]

[This must be the coat I was going to give to Wanyu!]

Why did this coat become Mika's birthday present?!

Nanfeng rubbed his face, pursed his lips, and asked softly, "So... this coat is the birthday present Ziqiao gave you?"

"Um."

Meijia nodded repeatedly, her face full of a happy smile.

Nanfeng confirmed again, "Is it this high-end coat that originally cost ten thousand yuan?"

"Um."

"Oh……"

Nanfeng nodded. He first glanced at the coat in Meijia's hand, then looked at Zhanbo, who was dumbfounded, and Wanyu, who was happy for Meijia.

After looking at all the people and clothes, Nanfeng looked at Ziqiao as if he were looking at a dead man.

Although he still didn't know what had happened, he was certain that Ziqiao was really going to die this time.

Even if Zhanbo lets him go, Meijia won't.

Even if Mika lets him go, everyone else will definitely not.

At this moment, Zhanbo was still staring intently at the coat in Meijia's hand.

He couldn't accept that the coat, which was originally meant to be a gift for Wan Yu, had become a birthday present for Mei Jia.

Not only that, at Wan Yu's urging, Mei Jia put on the coat that should have belonged to Wan Yu, and then, like a fluttering butterfly, slowly twirled around a few times in front of her.

This, this, this... this is simply outrageous!

"Zhanbo, Nanfeng, do you think this coat looks good on me?"

Looking at the coat, which was clearly two sizes too big for Meijia, Nanfeng, with hints from Yifei and Yumo, gave a bright smile and a thumbs up.

"Mika, this coat...it suits you so well!"

Upon hearing Nanfeng's words, Zhanbo felt as if Nanfeng had dealt another blow to his already wounded heart.

"Thank you." Meijia then looked at Zhanbo. "Zhanbo, what do you think?"

At this moment, Zhanbo's brows were furrowed, and he was on the verge of tears.

This is my coat! Mine!

[This is for Wanyu!]

Zhanbo's lips twitched slightly. He looked at Ziqiao with a wronged expression, but all he got in return was Ziqiao's pleading hands clasped together and a look that implied they should talk about it after Meijia's birthday.

Meeting Meijia's excited gaze and the suggestive glances from everyone behind her, Zhanbo forced out a stiff smile.

He took a deep breath and said, slowly and deliberately, "Meijia, your coat..."

Ziqiao's heart jumped.

"This is the most beautiful coat I've ever seen that suits you perfectly!"

Zhanbo felt like his heart was bleeding.

This is mine! Mine!

I'm coming
