The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 489 That Woman is Here (Part 4) The Meeting is Imminent

As mid-March approached, the moon appeared almost a full disc in the clear night sky, bright yet cool.

The white BMW drove from the JA district toward the Love Apartment. The plane trees on both sides of the road, which were in the stage of sprouting new leaves, swayed in the breeze. The shadows of the saxaul trees were reflected on the BMW's windows, but quickly disappeared.

"Breakups should be dignified; neither of us should apologize, so there's no question of owing anyone anything."

A soft melody drifted through the car. After humming along for a few lines, Nuolan complained to the man in her earphones, "Honey, can't you write some more upbeat songs?"

"What? Don't you like it?"

“No, it’s nice to listen to, but it’s just…” Nuolan paused slightly, then said with a hint of resentment, “It’s always this sad style about breakups and heartbreaks. It makes me think I’ve done something to you.”

The scoundrel on the phone laughed and then said truthfully, "These are all based on true events and contain genuine feelings."

"..."

Nuolan tightened her grip on the steering wheel slightly and said in an unhappy tone, "What do you mean? Are you deliberately provoking me?"

So what if they had a divorce back then?
As for writing these songs to commemorate the feelings at that time?
She liked listening to it, but the thought that the inspiration for the song came from their divorce made her feel sad.

So every time she listened to that dog man's songs, her feelings were extremely complicated.

"I didn't target you on purpose."

Wen Sheng laughed on the phone, "I said it's based on a true story, not that it's based on something that happened to me."

"Hmph, so where do you get your inspiration for heartbreak?"

"Whether I'm heartbroken or not has little to do with whether I know anyone who's heartbroken," Wen Sheng said with a smile. "At most, it's just that I couldn't understand it before, but I could during my divorce period, which is why I wrote those materials into a song."

"..."

Nuolan gritted her teeth. In the end, wasn't there her own reasons for it?

Skipping over this unpleasant topic, she changed the subject and asked, "When are you coming back?"

"It'll be soon. The demos I sent to the Hunan Province 'Super Girl' program team were very suitable for them. We just finalized a preliminary cooperation agreement. I'll be back soon if there's nothing else."

"Should I pick you up from the airport then?"

"How could I trouble Director Nuo with this?" the scoundrel said with a grin on the phone. "I'll just come back myself."

"Dead look!"

Nuolan cursed irritably, then said, "So you knew you needed me to help you organize your files today? Don't you have a lot of friends in your apartment?"

She really wanted to ask why she didn't just ask Qin Yumo for help, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words. Now that everything was normal, there was no need to cause trouble.

"Can they compare to you? What's our relationship?" Wen Sheng laughed. "I definitely only trust you!"

Upon hearing this, Director Nuo raised the corners of his mouth and began humming a song.

Wen Sheng, on the other end of the phone, sighed inwardly. He certainly trusted the people in the apartment, but the problem was that when it came to doing serious business, these guys were all unreliable.

The probability of Murphy's Law happening to them is extremely high. If you worry even slightly that something might go wrong, then there's a 200% chance that something will go wrong.

It's speechless, but Wen Sheng is also quite helpless about it.

So if it's something serious, he almost never contacts the people in the apartment.

"You know how to talk. Remember to let me know when you come back. I won't mind the trouble."

……

Love Apartment 3602.

The atmosphere in 3602 was a bit strange. Guan Gu Shenqi sat on the sofa in the living room, looking very uncomfortable, while a young, unfamiliar girl sat next to her.

"I heard you're quite old and a bit old-fashioned, but now it seems you're quite modest." Sadako's younger sister, Junko, smiled with a slightly reserved air.

A bewildered Guan Gu Shenqi chuckled dryly and said, "Are you... complimenting me?"

The events of tonight were increasingly incomprehensible to him. First, he encountered Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei in the elevator, who were inexplicably playing a game of climbing stairs. Then, there was Chunzi, who tried to touch him inappropriately as soon as she entered the room.

He had originally planned to pick up Xinling, but after Zeng Xiaoxian went next door, he was like a dead man and there was no sound from him.

He's currently entangled with this unexpected Junko.

Mistaking Guan Gu Shenqi for the comic book character Tang Youyou introduced to her, Chunzi said shyly, "When I met you today, I felt that you didn't look like a comic book artist at all."

Guan Gu Shenqi replied dismissively, "So what do I look like?"

“You look just like someone from a manga!” Junko, who aspired to have a manga artist boyfriend, thought for a moment and said, “Sadaharu Inui from The Prince of Tennis…you look exactly like him!”

"Heh, really? He's way more handsome than me."

"Really!" Junko exclaimed excitedly, then moved closer to Guan Gu, reaching out to stroke his hair and sighing, "Especially those glasses, they're so cool!"

As the other person got closer and closer, Guan Gu, who was too scared to move from being touched, nervously asked, "Cool Glasses, why are you touching my hair?"

In the bathroom.

Tang Youyou, who had overheard everything in the living room, exclaimed in shock, "We've caused trouble!"

Hu Yifei, on the other hand, was enjoying the gossip, since the misunderstanding had been cleared up and Tang Youyou hadn't cheated on Guan Gu.

So she chuckled and said, "That woman is clearly flirting with Guan Gu!"

"Now do you understand my pain? When I'm with Guan Gu, I'm always invisible!" The senior brother spoke rapidly when he was angry. "And you said no one was going to compete with me for him!"

That's the girl I'm going to introduce to him, and she could very well be the stepmother of his child in the future!
But now...

"You're still in pain? Then what am I?" Tang Youyou said angrily upon hearing this. "Right now, I'm the one who watched helplessly as the girl I found was drinking from my cup and flirting with my boyfriend. If I had known, I should have introduced you to a 'Ru Hua'!"

Then, Hu Yifei, with a "the more the merrier" mentality, said, "I remember Guan Gu's ex-girlfriend Xiao Xue, that's how they got together."

Hmm... this matter is also related to her.

She created an aphrodisiac perfume called "Love at First Sight," which was very potent and was used clinically to prepare for wild animals.

At that time, Chen Meijia had a crush on Guan Gu, so she made up an excuse to get perfume from Hu Yifei, intending to use it when she had a candlelight dinner with Guan Gu.

As it turned out, Lu Ziqiao returned halfway through, and he also brought back a girl with him, who was Xiaoxue.

At the time, Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia both wanted to use the suite that night, so they argued about it in the bathroom. Later, when Guan Gu returned and was chatting with Xiao Xue, he accidentally drank perfume instead of alcohol, and then…

That time and that moment were just like this moment, no, they should be even more serious than this moment.

Hearing Hu Yifei's words, Tang Youyou was so angry she felt like vomiting blood. This time, she had really shot herself in the foot.

Hu Yifei glanced at the mental state of the two people in front of her and then shifted her attention, saying, "Alright, there's another matter that's more urgent right now."

"What is it?" the two asked.

Hu Yifei smiled and pulled a towel from the sink to dry her feet, saying with a grin, "Little White Dragon, your hand seems to be dislocated. I need to help you put it back in place quickly."

"catch?!"

The eldest brother felt a jolt in his heart. He had almost gotten used to the pain, but now that the other person mentioned it, he immediately felt that his left arm was in excruciating pain.

But more than the pain, he was worried about another situation.

"You're not going to...break my hand completely, are you?"

"Don't worry, I'm the one who always puts Zeng Xiaoxian's hand back on."

"No... no need."

"Quiet, quick!" As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Yifei stuffed a towel into Du Jun's mouth, Tang Youyou helped hold it down, and then Hu Yifei grabbed Du Jun's dislocated hand and twisted it—

"Woo..."

wow——

Du Jun, sitting on the toilet with his mouth covered by a towel, screamed and accidentally flushed the toilet at the same time, instantly attracting the attention of the two people in the living room.

At this moment, Guan Gu was almost pushed off the sofa by Junko. Hearing the noise from the bathroom, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly got up.

Junko asked, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

"Uh……"

Guan Gu Shenqi didn't know what was going on, but since he could get away from Chunzi, he quickly went to the restroom to check on her.

But at that moment, Hu Yifei came out.

"Yifei?" Guan Gu was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"

"I just finished climbing the stairs and thought I'd use the restroom here," Hu Yifei explained. Then, upon seeing Chunzi on the sofa, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, who is this young lady...?"

"Her name is Junko..."

"Guan Gu, you've disappointed me so much!"

Just as Guan Gu Shenqi was about to explain that he didn't know either, he was suddenly interrupted by Hu Yifei, who then looked at him with a pained expression.

Guan Gu Shenqi's lips twitched involuntarily: "Disappoint you?"

"Uh... I mean, you've really disappointed Youyou. I'm Youyou's sister, and I'm very disappointed in you too!" Hu Yifei argued forcefully. "You and Youyou have only been together for half a year, and yet..."

"No, you've misunderstood. Junko and I..."

"Still trying to quibble!"

Hu Yifei, who was only trying to cover up what was happening in the bathroom, suddenly remembered that in addition to Tang Youyou's "lover" tonight, Guan Gu also had an "affair" with him!
However, since Youyou has already proven it was a misunderstanding, what about Guan Gu's side... does that mean only Youyou was cheated on?!

Thinking of this, Hu Yifei's aura became even fiercer.

"I heard everything from the bathroom. You two were all lovey-dovey and touching each other. Someone even complimented you on looking like Sadaharu Inui from 'The Prince of Tennis.' If I had come out any later, were you going to...?"

"Yifei, what are you thinking about? I..." Guan Gu, who was so nervous that he didn't know how to speak Chinese, was scratching his head anxiously and quickly turned to look at Chunzi on the sofa.

"Junko, explain yourself!"

After listening for a while, Junko stood up and asked in confusion, "What did she mean when she said you've been with Youyou for half a year? Wasn't you the manga artist Youyou introduced to me?"

"I'm Youyou's boyfriend, how could she introduce me to another girl?!" Guan Gu said, sorting out his thoughts. "There must be some misunderstanding here!"

"But just now downstairs, Youyou told me she was going to introduce me to a cartoonist. Are there any other cartoonists around here?"

Guan Gu Shenqi glanced at the living room, which only had three people, and shook his head.

At this moment, Hu Yifei suddenly realized and said, "So you two aren't in that kind of relationship? I misunderstood?"

"Of course you've misunderstood. Junko and I aren't..." Guan Gu Shenqi paused slightly before correcting him, "and we won't have the kind of relationship you're thinking of in the future. Our relationship is completely innocent!"

Completely bewildered by the current situation, Junko asked, "Then what exactly is going on?"

"Good question!"

Hu Yifei suddenly spoke up, and after the two looked over, she pretended to be Kogoro Mouri: "Although I don't know exactly what happened, judging from everyone's behavior just now, this should be a misunderstanding."

"nonsense……"

Seeing the other person's gaze, Guan Gu wisely shut up.

Hu Yifei continued, "But since Miss Junko wants to find a manga artist boyfriend, that's easy, isn't Guan Gu a manga artist?"

"Yifei, I..."

"Shut up, wait until I finish!"

Hu Yifei glared at him and then said, "Guan Gu is a cartoonist, and he knows a lot of cartoonists too. Maybe he can introduce you to some."

Hearing this, Junko looked at Guan Gu Shenqi's face, which resembled Inui Sadaharu's, again and again, and finally asked unwillingly, "Really?"

“Uh…really, I know other comic artists.” Guan Gu Shenqi thought for a moment, “like my senior brother.”

The two people in the bathroom breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; things were finally on the right track.

Hu Yifei hadn't forgotten her mission. Not only were she worried about the two people hiding in the bathroom, but she was also concerned about what was going on next door!

So she interrupted Guan Gu's introduction of his senior brother and pushed the two of them toward the art studio.

"Guan Gu, don't you also have your senior's comics? Perfect timing, Junko is a comic book fan, why don't you take her to the art studio to admire your and your senior's comics?"

"This..." Guan Gu Shenqi glanced at Junko, who was looking at him expectantly, "Just her and me? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Hu Yifei smiled and said, "Either she goes with you to admire comics, or I go with you to admire comics!"

"..."

In just one second, Guan Gu Shenqi found the correct answer to this multiple-choice question.

"Let's go, Junko. My senior and I just launched a brand new manga at a manga recommendation event a couple of days ago. I'll take you to check it out."

"Okay!"

After the two entered the art studio, Hu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. Then she opened the bathroom door and looked at the two inside, saying, "Alright, they're in the art studio now. You two should apologize as planned and find your stepmothers if you need to. I'm going next door."

"Wait a minute, Yifei, maybe I should go wait next door too."

Tang Youyou's suggestion was immediately rejected by Hu Yifei.

"no!"

Now that Youyou's "lover" problem is solved, there's still Guangu's "lover" on the other side!

Facing the other person's strange gaze, Hu Yifei braced herself and said, "Where did you both go? It will be hard to explain later. Besides, according to the plan, wasn't it supposed to be that Senior Brother came to apologize and you came in later to help persuade him? If Guan Gu suddenly went over and saw the two of you there, he would definitely know that Youyou contacted Senior Brother behind his back."

"..."

Hu Yifei's quick-thinking explanation was barely enough to fool Tang Youyou, who thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

"Ok."

Hu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief once again.

So she gave the two of them a thumbs-up and then went straight from the balcony to apartment 3601 next door.

However, as soon as she entered, she noticed that the atmosphere here was even stranger.

Zeng Xiaoxian, lying on the sofa clutching his heart and looking distressed, Zhang Wei, standing to the side with a blank expression, and Xinling, holding several cups of brewed tea, acting like the lady of the house.

After looking around the room for a few seconds, Hu Yifei asked, "Who is Tony? Wasn't the person seeing us off named Danny?"

……

Meanwhile, feeling increasingly uneasy and with a vague sense of foreboding, Qin Yumo left the bar and was on her way back.

Nolan, who had driven all the way through the night and with music playing, was about to arrive at the apartment.
