Love Apartment: The Most Reliable Person

Chapter 33 Meijia's Gift

At 3601, Guan Gu pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at Wan Yu sitting on the sofa, he asked, "Wan Yu, do you have any old books here?"

Yifei replied, "There's a crappy salesman. What do you want this crappy book for?"

Guan Gu explained: "My composition failed, and the teacher asked me to rewrite it, but I still couldn't write it. I heard that as long as you read a bad book, God will come to help you."

Wan Yu smiled and said, "Guan Gu, this is called reading ten thousand books and writing like a god. It's a proverb."

"What is proverb? Another language?" Guan Gu was puzzled.

Wan Yu explained: "Proverbs are words spoken by ancient people, just like colloquialisms and allegorical sayings are often said."

Guan Gu was completely confused: "Why are there two more languages? When will I graduate then?"

Wanyu was also a little helpless: "Oh, the more I talk, the more dizzy I feel. Guan Gu, the best way to learn Chinese well is to read more books, do you understand?"

Guan Gu stepped forward and said, "Wanyu, do you have any good books you can recommend to me?"

Yifei gave her own suggestion: "Well, the Analects is good, you can read it."

Guan Gu collapsed: "What language is the Analects?"

Wan Yu said on the side: "The Analects is a book, not a language. However, it is not suitable for you. You should read more books with storylines to increase your interest. For example..."

As he spoke, he picked up a book on the coffee table and handed it to Guan Gu: "This is a good book."

Guan Gu took the book and read: "The Crazy Couple?"

"It's The Return of the Condor Heroes. It's a very classic novel. You can enjoy the tragic love story while learning Chinese. It's very touching. I cried eight times while reading it." Wan Yu said with a gesture.

Guan Gu said: "Really? I only watched Tokyo Love Story and cried ten times."

Wanyu was curious: "Is Tokyo Love Story also touching?"

Guan Gu Anli said: "It's not very touching, it's super touching."

Yifei strode over and said, "Wanyu, don't tell me you haven't even seen Tokyo Love Story? I cried eighteen times." Then she sat down on the edge of the sofa.

Wanyu explained: "Korean dramas are popular recently, I don't watch Japanese dramas much."

Guan Gu was a little excited and slammed the book on the coffee table: "Don't mix Korean dramas with our Japanese dramas. It's simply insulting us. A hundred Korean dramas can't compare to the classic Tokyo Love Story."

Wan Yu also became interested and suggested: "How about this, we switch, I'll watch Tokyo Love Story and you watch The Return of the Condor Heroes."

Guan Gu smiled and said, "Okay. What is The Return of the Condor Heroes about? The story of two eagles?"

Wanyu held her forehead helplessly, and Yifei fell on the sofa, not knowing what to say.

At 3602, Lv Ziqiao placed a box on the coffee table while on the phone with Zhanbo. "Zhanbo, are you still off work? The coat I ordered for you yesterday has arrived, but my name is on the invoice. I have to tell my boss that it's my name so he can give me a discount. Of course, the packaging is beautiful. If a girl sees such a lovely gift, she'll go insane at best, or even vomit blood and die. What? Your colleague wants one too. I don't do this kind of favor lightly. But, for your sake, I'll make the contact right away. I support you both mentally and physically."

Ziqiao was very excited after hanging up the phone. Yes, business is back and he is making a fortune.

In the mailbox downstairs, Wanyu and Meijia are picking up mail.

"Yeah, that's great, I received two birthday cards." Mika was very happy.

Wan Yu asked, "Who sent it?"

Meijia's smile faded: "China Mobile and Bank of Communications."

Wan Yu smiled and said, "At least it's a card, not a bill!"

Meijia was a little upset after opening it: "They actually made the bill look like a card? How can this be possible?"

"If you pay off your overdraft soon, they'll definitely send you roses."

Meijia took out one of them and said happily, "Wanyu, look, this is the birthday card you gave me."

Wan Yu was puzzled: "How do you know? You haven't even opened it yet?"

Meijia laughed and said, "You forgot, the card was given as a gift when you bought laundry detergent. After you wrote it, I mailed it for you."

Looking at the cards in Wanyu's hand, Meijia was a little envious: "Wanyu, you have so many cards."

Wanyu replied, "They're all invitations to Valentine's Day parties."

Meijia complained: "It's all my parents' fault. They gave birth to me two days before Valentine's Day. Now everyone in the world is preparing for Valentine's Day. Who remembers my birthday?"

Wanyu pointed at herself: "Me. And of course China Mobile and Bank of Communications."

The two took the elevator to the apartment.

In the elevator, Meijia complained, "But I've never received a decent birthday present."

Wan Yu was curious: "Hasn't Ziqiao ever given you a gift before?"

Meijia said calmly, "Yes. One year, he gave me a magazine he had read. It was full of big-breasted beauties. Another year, he gave me a passionate hug, but it was when he was drunk."

Wan Yu was indignant: "This is also a gift. Ziqiao is too much."

Meijia is used to it: "When Valentine's Day is approaching and all prices are skyrocketing, he'll have an excuse to say now's not a good time to buy gifts. After Valentine's Day, he'll say your birthday has already passed and you should focus on the next year. Gifts will only remind you that you're another year older. It's all just empty talk."

Back at 3601, Wanyu advised, "Meijia, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe Ziqiao will give you a surprise this year? Why don't we go next door and take a look?"

Meijia said, "Surprise, I'm glad he didn't give me a scare. He must be focused on picking up girls, thinking about which girl to take out to get a room on Valentine's Day. How could he care about my birthday?"

Seeing this, Wanyu had no choice but to pull her to 3602.

Looking at the gift box on the coffee table, Wan Yu smiled and said, "See, what did I say? Zi Qiao prepared a surprise for you."

Meijia held the invoice in disbelief: "Really? Ziqiao gave it to me?"

Wan Yu said, "Then open it and take a look."

Mika opened the gift with a proud look on her face.

Ziqiao came out of the room and saw this scene: "Meijia, don't open it, the wrapping paper is very expensive."

Unfortunately, Mika had already opened it and took out a red coat.

Meijia was surprised: "Oh my god!"

Wanyu looked incredulous: "Oh my god."

Ziqiao was horrified: "Oh my god!"

Wanyu looked at the coat and said excitedly: "Meijia, this is the one I showed you last time, the one in the magazine."

Meijia looked at Ziqiao with tears in her eyes: "Ziqiao, this is the best birthday present I have ever received, thank you." Then she hugged Ziqiao.

Ziqiao had a lot to say, but now he couldn't say it anymore.

When Lin Ze came out of the room, he saw this scene and quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture.

He sighed: "Zi Qiao, I have a new respect for you!"

Wanyu suggested: "Meijia, why don't you try it on and try it on."

Ziqiao said nervously, "Don't wear it. It may not fit."

Wanyu picked up the coat: "Come on, Meijia, put it on." As she said that, she was about to put it on her, so Ziqiao had to take it off on the other side.

While putting on and taking off her clothes, Meijia looked happy, while Lin Ze looked suspicious.

In the end, Meijia put on the coat. Ziqiao only heard one sound, which was the sound of his own heartbreaking.

Lin Ze pulled Ziqiao over and whispered, "What's going on? Isn't this coat a birthday gift you bought for Meijia?"

Looking at Ziqiao, who seemed to have lost all hope in life, Lin Ze held his forehead and said, "I'm overthinking it. This kind of gift is not something a poor person like you can afford. But for now, let's calm Meijia down. You don't want to see her sad, do you? For now, we can only let the fool who asked you to help buy a coat bear the brunt of it."

Ziqiao nodded helplessly.

Meijia put on her coat and looked at Ziqiao, smiling, "Ziqiao, thank you. This is the best birthday gift I have ever received." Then she gave Ziqiao another hug.

Ziqiao didn't know what he was thinking about, probably thinking about the bad things he had done in the past. But he still said, "Meijia, happy birthday."
