Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 614 Approaching (6600 words)

On the night of the typhoon, heavy rain poured down.

Wanyu, holding an umbrella and dragging her suitcase, hurriedly ran back to her apartment.

She closed the umbrella and shook it vigorously.

"What bad luck! I'd already passed through security, and then my flight was suddenly canceled."

Wanyu grumbled as she tidied her rain-soaked bangs, but then she quickly chuckled and muttered to herself, "Luckily I brought an umbrella, otherwise I would have gotten soaked like everyone else at the airport. Thinking about it, I'm so smart."

She bent down slightly, patted her suitcase which was still dripping with water, and hummed a little tune as she walked towards the elevator.

In fact, the three members of the Viagra group had already called her immediately after the flight was canceled, asking if she wanted to ride back with them in such a storm, but Wan Yu refused.

The reason is simple: taking a taxi home is something she can do herself, so why should she bother someone else?

She came here to see just how far she could go on her own.

Judging from the current situation, I'm doing quite well.

Wan Yu waited quietly for the elevator to come downstairs, muttering to herself, "I wonder what everyone is doing now. Will they be happy to see me suddenly come back?"

"And Zhanbo, are you all really going to leave Zhanbo home alone tonight?"

Whenever Wanyu thought of Zhanbo, she remembered Zhanbo saying "I like you" at noon.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off, and she felt that Zhanbo was really serious when he said those words.

But Zhanbo had already smoothed things over, and she was too embarrassed to message him to ask what he really meant.

Really.

Just as Wanyu was complaining to herself, the elevator doors slowly opened, and a magnificent sea of ​​roses came into view.

Inside the elevator, the metal walls, which had been reflecting a cold, arcing light, were now covered with colorful ribbons, and delicate pink roses were entwined within them, swaying gently with the elevator's movement.

In that instant, Wanyu felt as if she could see the intoxicating pink clouds on the horizon, like peach blossoms in full bloom or peonies in shy blush.

"Wow……"

Wan Yu stared in surprise, she clearly remembered that the elevator wasn't like this before she left.

I don't know if this was a decoration made by the residents' committee to celebrate Valentine's Day, or if someone in the apartment building was planning to confess their love.

Wan Yu hesitated for a moment, then dragged her suitcase inside.

Regardless of whether someone is going to confess their feelings, the elevator is a public facility, so why can't I use it?

Wanyu took the elevator upstairs and curiously peered around.

She gently touched the tiny dewdrops on the rose petals, and after confirming that they weren't fake flowers, she muttered softly, "It looks like this rose was just touched by a shower. Someone must be about to confess their love."

"By the way, is Mika going to sell roses tonight?"

Wan Yu shivered as she recalled the terrible weather outside.

Unless Mika's roses are snatched up by everyone, given tonight's heavy rain, she's bound to lose her bet.

I wonder if Ziqiao will go easy on him.

As Wan Yu was thinking, she noticed that the elevator had stopped on the second floor.

Just as she was dragging her suitcase back, intending to make room for someone else, she stared wide-eyed in astonishment once again.

"Feifei? Yumo?"

Wan Yu smiled brightly and said, "What are you two doing here?"

After waiting for a long time, Yifei and Yumo exchanged a smile, and silently took out a rose from behind their backs and showed it to Wanyu.

Wanyu asked in confusion, "These are... flowers given to single tenants by the residents' committee?"

It's no wonder she thought that way, since neither Nanfeng nor Teacher Zeng would usually send just one flower if they wanted to.

But is the residents' committee really this considerate now?

Faced with Wanyu's curious question, Yifei and Yumo smiled and shook their heads without saying a word.

The two stepped forward and stuffed the roses they were holding into Wanyu's hands, who looked completely bewildered.

"This is for you."

Wan Yu was stunned for a moment, not immediately realizing what they meant.

Before she could ask any more questions, the elevator doors slowly closed, and Yifei and Yumo outside waved goodbye with smiles on their faces.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Wan Yu looked down at the roses in her hand, still trying to figure out what Yi Fei and Yu Mo meant by giving her roses, when the elevator stopped on the third floor again.

She looked up and saw Guan Gu and Youyou standing outside the elevator, their fingers intertwined, their faces beaming with happiness.

Coincidentally, they were each holding a rose in their hands.

The two gently placed the roses they were holding on Wanyu's suitcase and gave her a warm hug.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

The elevator doors closed again, but Guan Gu and Youyou remained outside the elevator without going upstairs.

Wan Yu gently picked up the rose from the suitcase, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

If she still couldn't guess what everyone was doing by this point, she wouldn't be the clever and quick-witted Lin Wanyu.

No wonder Zhanbo was acting strangely all afternoon; now I understand.

So, does that mean I should thank tonight's typhoon?

As she was thinking this, the elevator quickly stopped on the fourth floor.

This time, Curry Sauce and Zi Qiao were standing outside the elevator.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Wan Yu smiled and accepted the roses from the two women: "Did everyone participate tonight?"

Ziqiao and Curry Sauce did not answer; they simply smiled at each other.

Judging from Wan Yu's current expression, it seems that everyone can stop worrying about the worst possible outcome.

The elevator continued to ascend. Wanyu looked at the roses in her hand, then at the sea of ​​roses inside the elevator, and couldn't help but chuckle.

She could almost picture everyone busily arranging roses as they went in and out of the elevator.

The elevator arrived at the fifth floor, where Xiao Hei and his girlfriend Zhenzi, whom he had been dating for a short time, had been waiting for a long time.

"Never mind us, we're just here to observe." Xiao Hei and Zhenzi offered their roses, "Happy Valentine's Day."

"Happy Valentine's Day."

This time, Wanyu waved goodbye to the two of them first, her expression showing a sense of eagerness.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei and Zhenzi burst into laughter; it seemed they could wait for good news.

Wan Yu held the eight roses in her arms, watching the elevator slowly ascend with a hint of eagerness.

"bite."

Finally, the elevator arrived at the sixth floor.

Nanfeng, Meijia and Xiaoxian winked at Wanyu with smiles.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Nanfeng and Xiaoxian handed over the roses they were holding.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Wanyu took the roses from the two women and reached out to Meijia, asking, "What about yours?"

If she wasn't mistaken, she should have received eleven roses.

Upon hearing this, Meijia smiled slyly and pulled out a rose wreath from behind her back, gently placing it around Wanyu's neck: "You guessed wrong this time, the last rose isn't with me."

Wan Yu paused, then thoughtfully touched the flower wreath on her head.

"How was it? Not bad, right?"

Meijia gave Wanyu a big hug: "Wanyu, if it weren't for you, I would be dead after tonight."

"Thank you for being there, you are truly my best sister."

Wan Yu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. Although she didn't understand what Mei Jia meant, she inexplicably felt that she had let Zi Qiao down.

"Wanyu, we'll take care of your luggage. You just need to go inside."

Nanfeng chuckled and joked, "I thought you'd have to struggle with your decision for a while in the elevator, but it seems you've already made up your mind."

"Of course, I am Lin Wanyu."

Wan Yu smugly hummed, "My progress is far greater than you can imagine, okay?"

"it is good."

Nanfeng gestured for him to continue: "Then look forward to it and enjoy your Valentine's Day to the fullest."

Upon hearing this, Wan Yu took a deep breath and then walked towards 3601 with her head held high.

Judging from her appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think she was about to confess her feelings to Zhanbo.

Nanfeng and Xiaoxian exchanged a smile and silently walked towards room 3603.

……

Wan Yu, holding ten roses in her arms, pushed open the half-closed door of room 3601, and was immediately overwhelmed by the sight of roses filling the room.

Suddenly, Wanyu remembered what Meijia had just said.

So... did Zhanbo buy all of Meijia's roses?

"Zhanbo?"

"Zhanbo?"

Wanyu walked into room 3601, but did not see Zhanbo.

She walked around puzzledly, glancing around, and soon spotted a Bluetooth speaker and a rose on the dining table.

It seems this is the last rose.

Wanyu picked up the last rose, and now she had eleven roses in her arms.

People often say that eleven roses symbolize devotion and a lifetime commitment. Even though everyone knows that a vow of a lifetime doesn't rely on these roses, at least the person giving the flowers did think about spending their life with you at that moment.

This is enough.

Just as Wanyu was about to continue searching for the mysterious Zhanbo, who hadn't been seen yet, the Bluetooth speaker placed next to the roses on the dining table finally made a sound.

Welcome to Your Moon, My Heart – A Valentine's Day Special!

[I'm a good man, I'm... Zeng Xiaoxian~~~]

[Tonight, Xiaoxian is delighted to have a distinguished guest, our former pianist Mr. Chu Nanfeng, as our guest on the program.]

[Ahem.]

Nanfeng coughed softly on the other end of the speaker.

[Sorry, Xiaoxian misspoke. It was our once incredibly handsome pianist, Mr. Chu Nanfeng.]

Come on, South Wind, say hello to our listeners.

Wan Yu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. It seemed that Nan Feng and Teacher Zeng were having a good time talking to themselves.

Hello everyone, I'm Chu Nanfeng, your special guest for Valentine's Day. Wishing all lovers a happy ending.

Okay, thank you Nanfeng for your blessings to our listeners.

[Now let's officially begin today's Valentine's Day special. First up is Mr. Lu Zhanbo from Love Apartment 3601, who wants to dedicate the song "Closer" to his roommate, Ms. Lin Wanyu.]

[South Wind, can you play this song?]

It's nothing.

【very good.】

So, Ms. Lin Wanyu, if you're listening to our program right now, Mr. Lu Zhanbo wants to tell you...

"Wanyu..."

Zhanbo's voice did not come from the Bluetooth speaker, but from behind Wanyu.

Wan Yu turned around in surprise and saw Zhan Bo taking deep breaths as he walked slowly into room 3601.

The moment their eyes met, a heart-pounding melody echoed through the rose-filled living room via the speakers.

Zhanbo looked at Wanyu quietly. He thought he would be nervous and at a loss when the moment came, but now he realized that he had no room to be nervous at all.

Because his eyes and heart were completely filled with Wanyu in front of him.

[In the summer when the sea breeze blows, it feels like you've always been in my sight.]

Thinking of you before I go to sleep, I close my eyes...

Zhanbo closed the door and slowly spoke to Wanyu.

"Wanyu, I've been thinking about this for a long time. I have so much to say to you, but I don't know where to begin."

[In my dream, I saw your childlike smiling face.]

[Get a little closer, and happiness spreads endlessly...]

Wan Yu took a few steps closer to him, and looking at Zhan Bo's childlike face, she said softly, "It's okay, take your time, we have plenty of time tonight."

My heart is beginning to change quietly.

Have you paid attention to notice?

【…】

"Actually, the song 'The Lonely Square Root of Three' was written for you."

"Written for me?"

Wan Yu was taken aback: "You mean the poem that Guan Gu found was actually written for me by you?"

"right."

With a slight tremor, Zhanbo pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. It was half a love poem that his older sister had sent flying like a paper airplane, but which had been picked up by Guangu and hadn't been thrown into the trash can yet.

Tonight, he finally finished the second half of the poem.

"I... I only wrote half of it at the time."

"Wanyu, I know my writing is terrible, but please allow me to finish reading it."

Wan Yu nodded: "Yes, I'm listening carefully."

Zhanbo said in a trembling voice, "I'm afraid I'll always be that lonely square root of three."

"Three is such a wonderful number, why must my three hide under this ugly square root symbol?"

"How I wish I were a nine, because a nine only needs a tiny bit of calculation to escape this cruel fate."

Let's get closer; the warmth of our hands will melt away the distance.

With you by my side, I won't be afraid of the night.

【…】

Zhanbo paused, looked up at Wanyu, and recited the last half of the poem.

"I know I will hardly see my sun again, like this endless 1.7321."

"I didn't want my life to be so miserable, until that day, I saw... another square root of three."

Wan Yu's thick, butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked at Zhan Bo in front of her and smiled, unconsciously hugging the roses in her arms.

Zhanbo took a deep breath, continued reciting his poem, and walked towards Wanyu.

"So beautiful and flawless, she dances gracefully as she arrives."

"We multiply each other to get the number we've always dreamed of, as perfect as an integer."

"Smash the shackles of dreams, and gently wave the magic wand of love."

"The square root has been solved."

"My love has been reborn."

Oh, come closer.

Until my eyelashes brushed against your cheek, until you lowered your head and kissed my long hair.

This idea only requires one sentence from you.

【…】

Zhanbo walked up to Wanyu, the only distance between them being the eleven roses in Wanyu's arms.

He clenched his fists and mustered all his courage to speak.

"Wanyu, I know you have your dreams and the life you love."

I don't know if I have a place in your future, but regardless of whether I am or not, I want to tell you.

"Wanyu, I like you."

Zhanbo gazed at the girl who had captivated him at first sight, and his voice began to tremble.

I like your quirky and clever personality, and I also like your charming and cute personality.

I admire your dedication to your dreams and your yearning for freedom.

I like your good points and I like your bad points. I love everything about you.

"You are my square root of three, you are my only solution."

"I can't guarantee I can give you a fairytale world, nor can I guarantee I can grow up overnight."

"But I promise you, you can live like a princess forever in freedom and happiness."

He took a deep breath and launched his final attack of the night.

"Wanyu, I..."

Just as Zhanbo was about to utter his final confession, the door to room 3601 was flung open, and Zhang Wei staggered in.

"ah!!!"

At the most crucial moment, Zhanbo was interrupted by Zhang Wei. He felt his blood rush to his head and almost went into a qi deviation.

A distraught Zhanbo shouted, "Zhang Wei, what are you doing barging in here?!"

"Don't you know I'm going to confess my feelings tonight?!"

"I know, that's why I came here."

Zhang Wei, who had been missing for a whole day, grinned and, with lightning speed, pulled a beautifully wrapped, slender rectangular gift box from his all-purpose coat.

"Zhanbo, catch!"

Zhang Wei suddenly threw the gift box in his hand. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Zhanbo, who instinctively reached out, caught the gift box.

"This, this is..."

A strong premonition rose in Zhanbo's heart.

Even before he opened the gift box, he knew what was inside.

Inside must be the necklace he had longed for but was destined never to reach.

He looked up at Zhang Wei in surprise: "Zhang Wei, how did you do that?"

"Normally, whether something arrives on time is determined by fate, but some people always believe that human effort can make a difference."

"If it can't get there, then we'll drive there ourselves to pick it up."

Zhang Wei smiled and gave Zhanbo a thumbs up: "It's that simple."

This morning, Nanfeng wanted to surprise Zhanbo, so she used Ziqiao's phone to call the courier customer service.

They agreed to drive to the sorting center to pick up the package themselves, using Ziqiao's shopping records, tracking number, and identification.

Originally, Nanfeng and Zhang Wei were supposed to drive to the sorting center to pick up the package, while Ziqiao stayed behind to teach Zhanbo. However, Nanfeng was unexpectedly stopped by Xiaohei halfway and taken away for treatment.

So Zhang Wei, the most courageous man in Love Apartment, embarked on this arduous journey to pick up the package alone in his Digger Zero.

The long drive of more than ten hours, the stormy night of the typhoon, and all the hardships along the way could not stop the road monster Digger Zero from roaring back and delivering the best Valentine's Day gift before everything was over.

"What are you all standing there for? Keep going!" Zhang Wei urged. "Kneel down, kneel down!"

Zhanbo didn't react to Zhang Wei's words at all; he just stared blankly at the gift box in his hand.

He never dreamed that, just when he had given up hope of reaching the necklace, the necklace... no, this miracle, appeared right in front of him, lying quietly in his palm.

The coat that was given to Meijia by chance, the necklace that was destined never to be received, Meijia who wanted to sell roses by chance, Wanyu who suddenly had to fly to Hong Kong, the typhoon that suddenly changed direction, the south wind that believed that things could be done by human effort, and Zhang Wei, the bravest guy in the apartment...

Everything was a twist of fate.

Everything was a coincidence.

Everything is predestined.

It's as if everything exists solely for this moment.

What Zhanbo thought was a cruel twist of fate finally gave birth to the best ending at this moment.

No, we're just one step away from a perfect ending, just one last answer away.

Zhanbo took a deep breath and finally knelt on one knee with a determined look on his face.

"I'm telling you to kneel before Wan Yu, not before me!"

When Zhang Wei's speechless voice reached Zhanbo's ears, Zhanbo realized that he seemed to be kneeling crookedly.

He quickly turned to Wan Yu, who was both amused and exasperated, and solemnly unwrapped the gift box.

The special Valentine's Day heart-shaped necklace, surrounded by a sea of ​​roses, shimmered with tiny sparkles and caught Wan Yu's eye.

Wan Yu was stunned when she saw the necklace that she liked very much. Even though she didn't know how many stories were behind the necklace, she could still tell from Zhan Bo's expression that it had gone through many hardships.

"Wanyu, this is the Valentine's Day gift I wanted to give you. Happy Valentine's Day."

Zhanbo looked up at Wanyu and uttered the sentence that Qiao had taught him as his ultimate technique.

"Can I...can I pursue you?"

Wan Yu didn't answer immediately; she just looked at Zhan Bo quietly.

She knew from the beginning that Zhanbo liked her, and she had even thought about how she should respond if Zhanbo were to confess his feelings to her.

If it were the first three months after moving into the apartment, I would definitely refuse without even thinking.

If it were the first six months after arriving at the apartment, I would probably hesitate and politely decline.

If it were only a year since I moved into the apartment, I might initially feel flustered and refuse, then run away for a while without looking back.

But she has been living in the apartment for a year and a half now.

So much has happened in the past year and a half.

She overheard Zhanbo's feelings in the movie theater, and experienced what love is through the mutual pursuit between Guangu and Youyou. She witnessed Alexandre Dumas end his free wandering, and understood what she truly wanted in the dream world.

She realized Zhanbo's feelings for her, and she also realized her own feelings for Zhanbo.

She watched Zhanbo grow into a reliable young man with dreams, aspirations, and a strong sense of self, while she herself unknowingly became more independent, stronger, and more mature.

Wanyu always felt that she was a greedy person, which is why she still pursued her dreams and freedom even when she had everything.

Now that she has finally found her dream and gained complete freedom, she is still incredibly greedy, greedily longing to possess the sincere love in front of her.

If having freedom doesn't allow you to choose to accept a relationship that is mutually agreeable, then what kind of freedom is it?

She wants it all: dreams, freedom, and love!

Under Zhanbo's sincere gaze, Wanyu firmly... shook her head.

"no?"

"No, it's not necessary."

Wanyu helped Zhanbo up: "Zhanbo, I'm willing to be with you."

"Although I have my dreams and you have your career, we don't know how the future will unfold."

"But because it's you, I want to walk alongside you."

She winked playfully at Zhanbo: "I am the clever Lin Wanyu, and you are the genius Lu Zhanbo. As long as we treat each other with sincerity, we will definitely find a perfect ending to the future."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhanbo was overjoyed. He was so excited that he could hardly speak: "Then we, then we now..."

Wan Yu smiled gently: "Now you should help me put on the necklace."

"oh oh!"

Zhanbo quickly took out the heart-shaped necklace from the gift box and tremblingly helped Wanyu put it on.

Wanyu touched the necklace and asked, "Does it look good?"

Zhanbo grinned and nodded happily.

Wan Yu couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe, put her arm around Zhan Bo's neck, and hugged him.

Happy Valentine's Day, my boyfriend.

Happy Valentine's Day, my girlfriend.

The two touched forehead to forehead and smiled at each other with happiness and sweetness.

At that moment, the melody playing on the Bluetooth speaker was nearing its end.

Oh, don't be afraid.

I was prepared to answer you; getting to the other side isn't as complicated as you imagined.

Along this journey, I'm waiting for you to say: Yes, I do.

That's the truth.

I love you...

too~~~

I'm coming

I think this song is quite fitting for the scene of two people confessing their feelings.

Theoretically, there's one more chapter, but I don't know if I can finish writing it tonight. Anyway, I plan to finish it before I go to sleep.

(End of this chapter)
