Love Apartment: The Most Reliable Person

Time passed little by little amid the laughter and joy of the crowd, and soon it was the last day of the decade, which is also one of the most important festivals in China, the Spring Festival.

On this day, everyone in the apartment gathered in Room 3601.

Ziqiao rolled out a blackboard covered with a black cloth, looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, today is New Year's Eve. What plans do you have?"

Hu Yifei said, "What other arrangements can we make? Of course, we can divide the work and spend the night in all three suites together. The girls will be responsible for shopping for New Year's goods, while the boys will be responsible for decorating the rooms. In the evening, we'll cook the New Year's Eve dinner together, watch the Spring Festival Gala, play cards, and celebrate the New Year together. Any other suggestions?"

Everyone nodded. Hu Yifei's suggestion was very good and made everyone feel involved.

Ziqiao then raised a different point: "Yifei, don't you get tired of this every year?"

Yifei looked at him curiously: "What good suggestions do you have? Tell me."

Lu Ziqiao grabbed the black cloth and looked around at everyone: "Everyone, look carefully, this is my ultimate plan for this year: the ultimate New Year's Eve firecracker plan." As he spoke, he pulled open the black cloth, revealing a huge firecracker painted on it. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless: "This is the plan you have been thinking about all day, setting off firecrackers, where? Could it be indoors? You really thought of it, but I am not interested. I would rather sit on the sofa and watch the Spring Festival Gala than go along with you." After Zeng Xiaoxian finished speaking, he prepared to get up and leave.

Ziqiao quickly stopped Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "Teacher Zeng, we can't be so rigid. We need to try something new. I have a friend who sells firecrackers. I asked him about it, and he has a small, low-powered kind of firecracker that's perfect for playing indoors. Are you really not interested in joining us?"

Zeng Xiaoxian sneered: "Haha, not interested. And you're the only one here, where did they come from?"

Lu Ziqiao said as a matter of course: "Of course it's our men's gang! Lin Ze, Guan Gu, Zhan Bo, don't you want to try something new?"

The three of them glanced at each other. Lin Ze and Zhan Bo stood up one after another and pulled Zeng Xiaoxian over. "Come on, Teacher Zeng, let's hurry up and set up the rooms. Three suites, it's probably going to take quite a while."

Ziqiao looked at the three people's backs and reached out to stop them, saying, "Are you really not going to consider my plan anymore?"

The three of them didn't even turn around, leaving him no words, only the sound of a door closing.

Zi Qiao said unwillingly: "Don't regret it. Even if you beg me to join you, I won't agree."

No one answered, so Ziqiao turned his attention to Yifei and persuaded her, "Yifei, don't you want to join in? It's really interesting."

Yifei looked at him and said, "You'd think of setting off firecrackers indoors? If you want to play, just do it by yourself in 3602. You're quite capable if you can get others to play with you. Just don't disturb us, sisters. We're going to do some New Year shopping."

After saying that, he took Wanyu, Meijia and Xinling out.

In the huge 3601, only Lu Ziqiao and Guan Gu Shenqi were left.

Ziqiao looked at Guan Gu with a serious expression: "Brother Guan Gu, it seems that only the two of us can enjoy this plan together. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Lin Ze and his two companions worked all morning, finally finishing the decorating of all three suites. Looking at the vibrant red rooms, they immediately felt the festive atmosphere of the New Year. The three of them stretched out neatly on the sofa, smiling with satisfaction.

At this time, Lü Ziqiao walked over and exclaimed, "Well done, isn't it? Thank you for your hard work. Let me confirm again, are you really not planning to join Guan Gu and I in our ultimate New Year's Eve firecracker plan?"

Zhanbo replied weakly, "Ziqiao, go ahead and have fun. If you succeed this year, maybe I can join you next year."

Lin Ze and Zeng Xiaoxian echoed: "We are the same."

Lu Ziqiao said happily: "Okay! Your words are enough. Wait for my performance tonight. It will definitely open your eyes."

Having said that, he left excitedly.

The girls who had been shopping for New Year's goods also returned at this time. Yifei looked at the three people with their stalls and became furious: "What are you doing? Didn't you see we're back? Come and pick them up!"

The three of them didn't even have time to rest and quickly stood up to take the things from the four women.

Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but complain: "Yifei! How come it took you so long to come back for such a small thing? I was planning to ask you for help."

Yifei glanced at him: "Any objections?"

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly shut up and stopped talking. The three girls laughed out loud when they saw this: "Sister Yifei is so powerful, Teacher Zeng, don't be scared!"

Zeng Xiaoxian snorted and whispered, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."

At six in the afternoon, everyone began preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Those who could cook all pitched in, with Chen Meijia, Xinling, and Lin Ze being the main players, while the others were responsible for serving the dishes. Hu Yifei, seeing this, wanted to show off her cooking skills, but was stopped by the others.

Seeing Hu Yifei was obviously unhappy, Lin Ze suggested that she cook dumplings, but he also asked Zeng Xiaoxian to watch from the side, fearing that she would cook a pot of dumpling soup and then no one would have anything to eat.

At 8pm, the Spring Festival Gala officially started, and dishes were served one after another, a very sumptuous feast. The seven of them raised their glasses and said with a smile: "Cheers!"

After a quick sip, everyone started eating while watching the show.

Zeng Xiaoxian wanted to take the shrimp in front of Yifei, but Yifei slapped him on the back of his hand with her chopsticks: "These are my shrimps."

Zeng Xiaoxian expressed grievance, but everyone looked at his aggrieved expression and became even happier. In the end, Zhanbo used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for Zeng Xiaoxian: "Teacher Zeng, don't eat shrimp, eat fish. I hope you will have plenty every year."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at the piece of fish and started eating it viciously, as if he was not eating fish but Hu Yifei.

At 3601, everyone was enjoying their meal when they heard a loud bang, and they were all stunned.

Cyndi asked: "What happened? Was it a terrorist attack?"

Yifei said casually, "I guess it was those two idiots who came up with that firecracker plan. You know what, these firecrackers are pretty loud."

Wan Yu said, "But why do I feel like I heard glass breaking?"

Zhanbo speculated, "Could it be that they shattered the glass? That's impossible. Didn't Ziqiao say that he bought small, weak-powered firecrackers?"

Lin Ze suggested: "Why think so much? Just go over and take a look and you'll know."

Everyone pushed open the door of 3602, wow, this through-draft is so cool!

Guan Gusheng sat on the sofa, feeling hopeless, watching TV while accusing Ziqiao: "Lü Ziqiao, I really regret believing your lies. Didn't you say that the firecrackers were weak? Then how did they shatter the balcony glass? Now, the two of us can only watch the Spring Festival Gala in the north wind, hungry. Are you satisfied?"

Lü Ziqiao was speechless and said with difficulty, "I was also deceived by my friend. I didn't expect this small firecracker to be so powerful. Guan Gu, you are the only supporter of my ultimate New Year's Eve firecracker plan. You can't run away at this critical moment! It's okay, just bear with it and it will pass."

Listening to the conversation between the two, everyone couldn't help laughing any longer.

Guan Gu couldn't hold back any longer when he heard the laughter and said angrily, "Lü Ziqiao, from now on I will never believe your nonsense again. It's because of you that I'm left here like a fool, blowing in the north wind. Now, I'm going to go next door, you can play here by yourself."

Guan Gu chose to join 3601. Lu Ziqiao was unwilling to let his plan fail in the womb, and firmly stated that he would not go along with him.

But unfortunately, Lu Ziqiao could not avoid the law of true fragrance. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, he gnawed on the pig's trotter in frustration.

As the countdown bell rings, it also announces that 2010 has come to an end, and everyone in Love Apartment will usher in a new year.
