The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 421 Knowledge Q&A
There's a saying that goes, "If you have money, your other half might still be in kindergarten while you're in college."

For most people in the world, this is just talk, but for Zhang Wei in "iPartment," it's not just talk.

But often, a woman in her thirties dating a woman in her twenties doesn't seem like a bad match, but if a woman in her twenties dates a woman in her twenties... that looks really awkward.

In Wen Sheng's opinion, Zhuge Dali's situation might be due to a lack of paternal love during her upbringing, which led to her having such...quirks.

This isn't too surprising, after all, some boys even have Oedipus complex!

That was the original drama, but now it's 2010. No matter what, Dali is only ten years old. Such a thing shouldn't and can't happen now.

……

"Zhang Wei, you've lost your right to use the room, where did you sleep last night?"

When they were almost finished eating, Hu Yifei asked this question with a smile.

"You don't sleep with the washing machine, do you?"

"..."

Zhang Wei, who was picking his teeth, stopped. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he calmly put down the toothpick and said in a relatively steady tone, "How could that be? It's just sleeping on the sofa. I just felt that my original room was a bit small. Now the whole suite and living room are mine tonight. I can sleep however I want."

Although it was obvious to everyone that Zhang Wei was just putting on an act, no one called him out on it.

Tang Youyou thought for a moment and smiled, "But we still have to thank Zhang Wei, so that we won't have to go downstairs to the laundry room to do our laundry anymore."

"You should be thanking me, right?" Hu Yifei snorted. "I won the room and renovated the laundry room through my own abilities, while Zhang Wei lost by using his intelligence. It was fair and square!"

"I……"

Zhang Wei felt bloated from anger after finishing his meal.

Hu Yifei then laughed and said, "Hey, if you have anything else... uh, something I don't really want but you can still offer, you can come back to me for an IQ test. Maybe I can even win back your bed and room."

After all, Zhang Wei gambles not based on what the other person wants, but on what he has.

At worst, we can give up the bed to Zhang Wei, at least so he won't have to sleep on the sofa all the time.

Besides, Zhang Wei paid the rent, so Hu Yifei couldn't really keep occupying his room forever. It's just that he acted all high and mighty yesterday, which annoyed her.

If Zhang Wei had given in and clung to Hu Yifei's leg, crying and begging for mercy, Teacher Hu wouldn't have continued to be so ruthless. But who told Zhang Wei to be so bold?

They sleep on the sofa or the floor, and stubbornly insist that it doesn't matter.

Zhang Wei's lips twitched a few times after hearing this, and then he turned to Wen Sheng for help: "Brother Sheng, look at your roommate. A university teacher doing this is setting a bad example for young people."

"A healthy dose of competitiveness is actually beneficial for a child's development," Wen Sheng smiled, then looked at Dali beside him and asked, "Dali, what do you think?"

“When I participated in competitions at school, I also wanted to win,” Zhuge Dali nodded in agreement.

Hu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed, then said to Zhang Wei, "So, Attorney Zhang, do you want to win the room back?"

"I've already lost everything in my room, what else can I gamble with?"

“Hey, you can’t say that. A person only needs one kidney to live, but God gave you two. What does that mean?” Tang Youyou interjected.

"And your dowry for your future wife, and your children's tuition fees—these are all the capital you need to turn your life around," Wen Sheng said with a smile.

"..."

Zhang Wei remained silent, unsure whether he was moved or speechless; his expression began to shift.

"Seriously? You really want to?" Wen Sheng was speechless. Judging from how much Zhang Wei cared about his reputation, he might actually have such thoughts.

After all, most of the bad luck he encountered in the original series stemmed from his stubborn pride and willingness to suffer for it.

"How could that be? How could I think that!" Zhang Wei straightened his expression. "I'm a lawyer, and staying away from gambling and maintaining a clean lifestyle is my principle!"

The main problem is that I'm afraid of losing and haven't adjusted my mindset yet, so I can't make a comeback and win back everything I've lost.

Seeing the doubt on Wen Sheng's face, he added, "Besides, as I just said, it's much more comfortable to sleep in the living room now, so why gamble?"

Wen Sheng smiled at his words, exchanged a glance with Hu Yifei, and then said nothing more.

Since Viagra is such a man, let's just let him be manly for a few more days.

……

After dinner, Wen Sheng was going to take Zhuge Dali home. The weekend was coming to an end, and Zhuge Dasheng was also returning from his business trip.

"Uncle, my mom said she just got off the plane."

In the car, Zhuge Dali took Wen Sheng's phone and ended the call with her mother before speaking to Wen Sheng.

Wen Sheng nodded: "Okay, then I'll just go to the airport to pick up your mom."

"Then I'll send her a message and tell her to wait a moment."

After finishing her message, Zhuge Dali suddenly asked, "Uncle, when are you going to record a song next time?"

"What? You want to come along?"

"Yeah, I think it's very interesting."

Wen Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you next time I go, since you'll be on summer vacation then anyway."

"it is good!"

In Shanghai at the end of June, once people leave the air conditioning and fans, it feels like they are wrapped in a layer of oppressive heat that is hard to escape, as if they are wrapped in damp, old cotton wool, so stuffy that it is hard to breathe.

However, this strange weather is unpredictable. As darkness fell, a wind suddenly came from nowhere, causing the leaves of the plane trees by the roadside to rustle and swirl. Then, raindrops began to fall. At first, they were sparse, leaving a few dark marks on the hot asphalt road, but then they spread out and soon wove into a fine curtain of rain.

Zhuge Dasheng, dressed in a neatly tailored dark white casual suit, her shoulder-length medium-length hair fluttering slightly in the cold airport wind, gazed absently at the dim, gray sky sinking into the distance, where silvery rain streaked down, shattering and flowing against the glass curtain wall next to the terminal's arrival area...

Smoothing her slightly disheveled hair, Zhuge Dasheng glanced at the time on her watch, let out a soft breath, and dragged her small suitcase toward a better vantage point near the exit.

During that time, some taxi drivers tried to solicit passengers, but unfortunately, her fierce demeanor made it difficult for them to speak up.

She chose a spot with a good view, ensuring that the person picking her up would see her at a glance. The drizzle couldn't get in, but the cool evening breeze from the rain could feel on her face, relieving the stuffiness she felt when she came out of the airport.

Just as she was staring blankly at the suddenly changing weather and wondering whether she should call to ask where they were, a Mercedes that was somewhat familiar slowly came into view.

And then there was her sweet daughter, who, as expected, spotted her immediately from the passenger window and waved to her.

"Mom!" Zhuge Dali smiled and waved, instinctively trying to open the car door and get out, but her collar was quickly grabbed.

Attorney Zhuge couldn't hear what Wen Sheng and her daughter were saying, but she saw Dali first purse her lips, then nod and sigh.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Wen Sheng got out of the car from the other side and walked over holding a black umbrella.

There were a few cars parked poorly in the middle of the parking lot, so Wen Sheng didn't drive the car directly to Zhuge Dasheng's feet. At this point, Lawyer Zhuge realized that there was probably only one umbrella in the car, and if Dali got out of the car, he would get wet.

Looking at the man in a gray shirt and black trousers walking towards her with an umbrella in the distance, and her daughter happily waiting behind him, Attorney Zhuge's eyes were somewhat dazed. This scene always stirred some inexplicable emotions in her.

"Sister Sheng, how are you feeling? Are you tired from the flight?"

Wen Sheng's voice brought Attorney Zhuge back to reality. She composed herself and, seeing that he was already standing in front of her, smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, I slept quite well on the plane."

"Okay, let's go back to the car first." Wen Sheng nodded, naturally took the suitcase from her, leaned forward slightly, and used the umbrella to shield her from the rain.

Attorney Zhuge said calmly, "Thank you for coming all this way to pick me up." "It's nothing. This way, Dali won't have to wait for you alone."

As they spoke, she naturally walked down the steps and stood beside Wen Sheng. The two were under the same umbrella, initially with a gap of four fingers between them, but as the drizzle tilted slightly, the four fingers gradually became three fingers, and the three fingers gradually became two fingers...

"Sister Sheng, be careful not to get your clothes wet."

Given Wen Sheng's past feat of easily carrying the fish and water tank, it was nothing new to Zhuge Dasheng that he was holding his suitcase in front of him to avoid getting it wet. However, when he suddenly spoke, Lawyer Zhuge instinctively moved closer to him.

"By the way, how has Dali been doing these past two days?" Attorney Zhuge asked, smoothing his hair.

"Why should we care about your performance when you come here to have fun?" Wen Sheng said with a smile. "Just have fun."

"Hehe, that's true..."

The distance from the parking lot at the airport pick-up point to the car at the entrance is less than 100 meters, but at this moment it seems like it will take forever to reach the end.

The scents of Hermès' rich vetiver and Chanel's oriental screen iris intertwined, the summer night's rain further blending the fragrances on their bodies, which were then carried to their nostrils by the moist breeze.

For some reason, Attorney Zhuge recalled the scene of their picnic at Dianshan Lake last time. The flowers, grass, birds, fish, and the damp soil by the lake all created a flavor that evoked memories.

That's strange, it didn't rain last time.

"Didn't Dali ask you to take her fishing this time?"

After walking quietly for about ten steps, Attorney Zhuge spoke up again.

"No." Wen Sheng shook his head, looked at Dali in the car window ahead and laughed, "I'll go when summer vacation starts and I'm ready."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, it would be quite boring for just the two of us. We can't just sit there and fish, can we?"

“That’s true.” Lawyer Zhuge nodded. When she walked to her daughter in front of the car window, her arm next to Wen Sheng was pressed tightly against him. Her other hand was raised as if she was smoothing her hair, or as if she was blocking the rain from coming in from that side.

"Let's go on a picnic together again next time," she said with a smile, then looked at Dali in front of her and said, "Dali, how about we go camping again in a while?"

"Okay." Zhuge Dali nodded. "Is it still Dianshan Lake?"

"Besides Dianshan Lake, where else can we go around Shanghai?" Lawyer Zhuge opened the car door and got into the back seat. She then turned to look at Wen Sheng, who was putting his suitcase into the trunk, and seemed to have some helplessness in her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, we can go to Sheshan."

"Sheshan..."

……

Late at night, Hu Yifei checked the time. Judging from past experience, if Wen Sheng hadn't returned by this time, he probably wouldn't be coming back tonight.

So she turned off the living room light, went upstairs to her room, and then called her best friend who had been missing for more than half a month.

"Hey, Yu Mo, when are you coming back?"

"Big sister, it's been so long and you still haven't had enough fun?"

"Wen Sheng didn't seem to care, so why are you avoiding him like this?"

"Okay, okay, you didn't hide. Then come back! It's almost the end of the month. If you don't come back soon, I'm going to turn your bedroom into a study!"

"You've taken a really long leave. Don't let it ruin your job."

"Yes, yes, I know you're capable of not worrying about this, but you can't stay away forever, can you? Can you give me a definite answer?"

"You... anyway, if you don't come back soon, I'm going to turn your room into a study. I've been wanting to do that for a long time!"

"I'll say it again, Wen Sheng really didn't mention that matter. If he dares to do anything to you, I'll stop him for you!"

……

Ms. Nuo has been a little busier lately because she added a late-night program, but whenever she feels tired, her ex-husband Wen Sheng helps her shake off the fatigue, so recently she has been in better and better condition and even feels very fulfilled.

As the old saying goes, behind every successful woman, there is a man who silently supports her.

On the afternoon of the first day of the new week, after finishing his work, Wen Sheng left his ex-wife's house... Well, it seems like that scoundrel is using his ex-wife's house as a transit point.

With Wen Sheng's current physical condition, he will never again return in a state of back pain, like when he first came into this world and broke his vows.

On Monday afternoon, when Wen Sheng, full of energy, pushed open the door to suite 3601, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere inside was very tense and heavy.

Where does the slogan "One small step forward, one giant leap for civilization" appear?

Wearing a red suit and white gloves, and with a waiter... well, like a referee, Tang Youyou asked Hu Yifei.

Opposite Hu Yifei sat three men, Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Ziqiao, and Guan Gu Shenqi, all looking "aggressive."

When Wen Sheng pushed the door open and came in, the group of people all turned to look at him.

"This is what you are doing?"

Looking at the tense standoff before him and hearing what Tang Youyou had just said, Wen Sheng vaguely guessed what it was all about.

"Fighting for freedom and harmony in the entire apartment!"

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled and said, "Wensheng, you've come back just in time. You're about to witness what it truly means for good to triumph over evil!"

"Wen Sheng, you're back just in time! Help me answer this question." Hu Yifei's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand, saying, "Referee, I need to request off-field assistance!"

"Rejected! This is a match between the Three Guns team and the One Fei team. How can we let Wen Sang help us?" Guan Gu Shenqi immediately rejected the idea.

However, Hu Yifei added, "When did it become a rule that we can't use off-site assistance? Besides, Wen Sheng is one of our suite members, so the spoils are shared. After all, you still want to lose Zhang Wei to our suite!"

"This..." Tang Youyou's expression was a little conflicted. She actually wanted to help her nephew, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately asked the Three Guns team about health products, since her nephew was a professional health product seller.

But looking at Hu Yifei's persistent attitude and her previous reasons, she couldn't seem to find any way to refute her.

"Referee, I suspect you're stalling for time by not answering. I request a 30-second extension for my answering time," Hu Yifei urged again.

"cough!"

Tang Youyou's expression changed, and after her mind raced, she said, "Okay, but you only have one chance to request outside assistance. Are you sure you want to use it now?"

At this moment, Wen Sheng sat down beside him, pretending not to understand anything, and asked, "I still don't understand what you're doing?"

"Wensheng, this concerns the honor of the boys, you mustn't let your talent go to waste!" Lu Ziqiao said nervously.

Seeing this, Hu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Then let's move on to the next question."

"There were four people playing mahjong in the house, but when the police arrived, they took away five people. Why is that?"

"Because the person who got hit was named Mahjong."

"Correct answer. Next question: There are 26 letters in total, ABCDEFG. If ET leaves, how many letters will be left?"

"21, because ET is an alien, and they even drove away in a UFO."

"Absolutely correct. Next question: Guan Gu Shenqi has something that is longer than all the boys here. What is it?"

Referee Tang Youyou raised this new question.
