Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 703 The Active Callers

Late at night, Zeng Xiaoxian's radio station.

"...Madam, I still suggest that you first apologize to the groom who ran away from your wedding, and then have a good discussion with your childhood sweetheart about your future life together and how to resolve the issue of strong opposition from both sets of parents."

Zeng Xiaoxian wiped his sweat as he spoke. Although he was a seasoned host of relationship programs, he really didn't know how to handle such tricky relationship problems as someone running away from their wedding.

It can only be said that the radio broadcast's rule against insulting or criticizing listeners severely hampered his performance.

Before the young woman, who wished to remain anonymous, could reply, Zeng Xiaoxian had already hung up on her.

"Okay, thank you for your call. I hope my advice was helpful."

He knocked on the window, signaling Judy to wake up and get back to work.

After a while, Judy raised her hand and gave an OK sign.

"Okay, now let's take the next call from our listener."

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Teacher Zeng Xiaoxian?"

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, making Xiaoxian raise an eyebrow.

Although the man deliberately lowered his voice and emphasized his nasal tone to make his voice sound rough and masculine, he still recognized that this guy was Lu Ziqiao.

There was no way around it; the two of them were just too familiar with each other.

"Yes, I'm a good man, I'm Zeng Xiaoxian~"

"Excuse me, sir, how should I address you?"

Xiaoxian pretended not to recognize Ziqiao and strictly followed his usual procedure.

He wanted to see how Lu Ziqiao, as a listener, could make his listenership skyrocket with just one phone call.

"Teacher Zeng, my surname is Adie, you can just call me Adie."

"Yes, Father."

Zeng Xiaoxian responded subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoxian knew that he had been taken advantage of by Lu Ziqiao again.

"Hehehe, it seems our Mr. Ah has quite a sense of humor."

Call me Adie.

Ziqiao said with dissatisfaction, "Adie is my surname. It is disrespectful of you to call me that, Teacher Zeng."

"Okay... Mr. Adie."

He forced a smile and said, "Now it's time for listeners to call in. Please tell us about your relationship problems or minor troubles in life, and let's see if Xiaoxian can help you."

"That's right, Teacher Zeng."

Ziqiao got straight to the point: "Actually, I've fallen for someone. I think that person is perfect in every way, practically my idol."

"In order to make that person fall in love with me, I specifically studied the basic courtship tutorial on Weibo called 'Teacher Lü Meng Teaches You How to Date'."

Ziqiao cleared his throat and said in a clear and articulate voice, "Teacher Lü Meng is an outstanding emotional blogger who warms people's hearts with words and illuminates the path of emotions with wisdom."

"In the vast world of love, have you ever felt lost, and longed for the guidance of a wise person to help you find your destined love?"

"Teacher Lü Meng is a senior mentor who focuses on courtship skills and emotional strategies."

"He will use his rich experience and unique insights to inspire your thinking about love and light a beacon for your journey to find love."

"In particular, Teacher Lü Meng's newly launched 'Teacher Lü Meng Teaches You How to Date' basic dating tutorial will help you decipher the code of love and provide a set of effective dating secrets."

"With the secret manual in hand, true love is assured. Teacher Lü Meng teaches you how to date, leading you to a happy life!"

Zeng Xiaoxian: (○д)！！！

……

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian gripped the table tightly with trembling fingers, and the veins on his forehead throbbed wildly.

This, this, this…

Did that bastard Lu Ziqiao come here to give up on himself?!

But to be honest, Ziqiao's move was really brilliant, aside from being shameless and having no bottom line. After all, listeners of relationship programs can indeed become fans of relationship bloggers to the greatest extent possible.

But this bastard actually came here to play GG?

Isn't this like undermining your own team?!

What will I do if you poach all my people?

[Lu Ziqiao, you're shameless!]

【brute!】

[You beast!!!]

"Mr. Adie."

Xiaoxian gritted her teeth, her voice filled with suppressed anger: "Then may I ask why you called me?"

"Oh, I see."

Ziqiao suppressed a laugh and said, "Although I learned a lot of excellent and practical courtship courses and theories from Teacher Lü Meng's Weibo account."

"On another note, this Teacher Lü Meng..."

"Skip Master Lü Meng!"

Xiao Xian subconsciously scolded Lu Ziqiao, but he quickly realized that he was currently live-streaming.

He forced a smile and added, "...Is that alright?"

Xiao Xian took a deep breath, wishing he could go home right now and kill Lu Ziqiao: "Mr. Adie, listeners have limited time when they call in. How about we go straight to the 'but' part?"

"Oh, sure."

Ziqiao continued, "However, there's always been a question that's been bothering me."

"I really had no other choice, so I called to ask for your help, Teacher Zeng."

"Oh?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback when he heard this. He wondered if Lu Ziqiao was trying to undermine him by using his Weibo account as a stepping stone to prove that Lu Ziqiao, a Weibo blogger with over 30,000 followers, was not as good at solving emotional problems as he was.

Is that so?

impossible!

Xiaoxian would never believe that Ziqiao could be so kind.

Even if I beat Ziqiao, it wouldn't prove anything, and it certainly wouldn't increase the listenership.

Ultimately, Ziqiao is just a Weibo blogger with over 30,000 followers, not Yao Chen or Xie Na.

"Mr. Adie, please tell me your troubles and confusion. Xiaoxian will listen quietly here and do his best to help you."

Zi Qiao paused on the other end of the phone, then said in a somewhat strange tone, "My problem is that I like that person, but that person doesn't know that I like him."

"Although I know it's impossible for us to be together, I still hope to tell him about my hidden feelings of love."

"But the problem is I'm afraid that confessing my feelings rashly will cause him trouble. Teacher Zeng, do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh……"

Xiaoxian nodded upon hearing this: "This is actually just a very simple case of unrequited love."

"yes."

Ziqiao asked, "Teacher Zeng, if you were me, what would you do?"

"If it were me..."

Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't know what tricks Lu Ziqiao was up to, he still asked cautiously.

"Excuse me, Mr. Adie, how old are you and your crush?"

It's no wonder Zeng Xiaoxian is cautious; his audience is just so eccentric.

If I'm not careful, not only will I lose my bonus, but I'll also lose my job.

Last time, a listener asked him a similar question to Ziqiao. I encouraged him to express his love in a logical way, so that he would at least have no regrets.

Unexpectedly, the male listener whose voice sounded even deeper than his own was just a middle school kid, and the person he confessed to was his music teacher.

That time, I almost got scolded by Lisa and had to go see my music teacher who had been dead for many years.

"Don't worry, both of us are adults."

Xiaoxian, fearing that Ziqiao might trick her, continued to ask with unease, "So, what's your current relationship status? Are you single, divorced, or married?"

"...We are both single."

"Is there any relationship between you and the person you like that you absolutely cannot be together, like... siblings or something?"

"no."

Ziqiao was stunned. He had no idea that Teacher Zeng was so knowledgeable.

"A family feud? Is there one?"

Xiao Xian became more and more excited as he spoke: "Do your two families have any rules about not intermarrying, forming alliances, or becoming neighbors for three generations?"

"...No, not either."

Ziqiao finally understood why Teacher Zeng's show had been at the bottom for so many years.

This is a call-in segment for listeners. What kind of questions are these?!

"So, is there anything left between you two...?"

"Teacher Zeng!"

Ziqiao couldn't help but interrupt, "Just tell me, should I confess my feelings or not?"

Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said nervously, "If there are no legal or moral restrictions between you, then go ahead and confess your feelings. No matter the outcome, at least you won't have any regrets."

"In that case..."

Ziqiao surprised everyone by saying, "Teacher Zeng, actually, I like you. Would you like to have dinner together sometime?"

"what?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was instantly dumbfounded.

In an instant, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him utterly stunned.

He didn't think Lu Ziqiao would like him; after all, Ziqiao liking men was as ridiculous as Nanfeng's addiction to alcohol.

But, but!

【Lu Ziqiao, you motherfucker!】

[Is this the method you came up with to make my listenership skyrocket?]

You disgust me!!!

Before Zeng Xiaoxian could say anything, Ziqiao had already hung up the phone.

Xiaoxian took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Okay... oops, let's listen to the next caller."

To Xiaoxian's surprise, the number of listeners calling in this time was much faster than he had expected.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Teacher Zeng Xiaoxian?"

The caller this time was a girl with a very nice voice.

"Yes, I'm a good man, I'm Zeng Xiaoxian~"

"Excuse me, ma'am, how should I address you?"

"That's not important."

The girl on the other end of the phone asked impatiently, "Teacher Zeng, I want to ask you, do you have a girlfriend? Would you accept that boy's confession?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's hard-won smile vanished instantly.

He patiently said, "Madam, do you have any relationship problems or minor troubles in your life? Let's see if Xiaoxian can help you."

"I have no problems and no worries."

The girl chattered on and on, asking, "I just want to know, what does it feel like to be confessed to by a listener as a host?"

Xiao Xian said awkwardly, "Ma'am, this is a relationship advice program to help you solve your relationship problems."

"Oh, I already said I don't have any problems, I just wanted to ask..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Zeng Xiaoxian hung up the phone: "Okay, let's move on to the next caller."

……

"Hello?"

"Hello Professor Zeng, are you also gay? What are your thoughts on the concept of freedom in love?"

"Sorry, this is not within the scope of our program's explanations."

……

"Hello?"

"Hello, Professor Zeng, do you know if you would feel happy if a man had a crush on you?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean!"

……

"Hello?"

"Hello, Ms. Zeng. You seemed very calm just now. Do you often get confessed to by men?"

"...No, that's not it!"

……

Ten minutes later, Zeng Xiaoxian scratched his head, listening to one listener after another in despair.

In all his years as a host, his audience has never interacted with him as actively as they do now.

This should have been a very happy thing.

But, but...

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxian had only one thought in his mind.

[Lu! Zi! Qiao!]

I'm going to kill you!!!
