Love Apartment: The Most Reliable Person

On this day, the men's gang gathered together in 3602 for a rare occasion, and then the five of them split into two groups, one was the poker group of Lin Ze, Zeng Xiaoxian, and Guan Gu Shenqi, and the other was the chess group of Zhang Wei and Lu Ziqiao.

Zhang Wei, who had chosen the lead tactic at the start, looked at Lü Ziqiao who was thinking and said helplessly, "Come on, Ziqiao, we've only just taken the first step! Why are you taking so long to think about this?"

Lu Ziqiao changed his usual playful expression and said seriously, "You don't understand. For a high-level chess player like me, every move must be carefully considered. Haven't you heard that one wrong move can lead to a complete loss?"

Zhang Wei wanted to roll his eyes, but you shouldn't have to think about a single move for a minute, especially the first one. Aze and the others have already finished a round of Landlords, and you haven't finished thinking yet. And you know what? Their Landlords looks really fun. I want to play it, too.

Lu Ziqiao glared at him. "Zhang Wei, since you've chosen to play chess, you must persevere to the end. What's the point of giving up halfway? Besides, what's the point of playing poker? Only chess can show our wisdom. Don't you want to prove that you are the smartest person?"

Zhang Wei was a little bewildered: "What does playing chess have to do with proving wisdom? And didn't I prove it before? The outcome was obvious: I lost everything. If you hadn't helped me, I might still be sleeping on the couch."

Lu Ziqiao quickly said, "Zhang Wei, that's all in the past. Now we need to look forward. I tell you, this game will be the pinnacle of chess history. This way, we'll finally be able to determine who is the wisest person."

Zhang Wei looked Lu Ziqiao up and down and couldn't help but laugh. "You? Is it completely unfair for me to win chess against you? What does a game I'm sure I'll win prove? Compared to you, I might as well go play with Teacher Zeng."

While the two were still chatting, the fourth round of poker had already begun. Zeng Xiaoxian already had three slips of paper stuck to his face, clearly indicating he had lost three games in a row.

Zeng Xiaoxian said indignantly, "Look at me, I'm going to complete this magnificent reversal. You two, just wait! I'm going to stick notes all over your faces."

Lin Ze and Guan Gu exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "Just you? Teacher Zeng, just accept your defeat! We won't let you win."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at the cards in his hand and smiled confidently: "Humph, the winner of this round is definitely me, called the landlord."

"No grabbing."

"No grabbing."

Zeng Xiaoxian successfully became the landlord. Including this time, he has been the landlord for four times in a row, but he was completely excited and did not notice anything unusual.

Lin Ze and Guan Gu looked at each other and smiled. It was settled. Everything was under control.

On the other side, Zhang Wei and Lu Ziqiao were still arguing, mainly because Lu Ziqiao's chess skills were too poor, and he kept regretting his moves, which made Zhang Wei very depressed.

After capturing one of Lu Ziqiao's horses, Zhang Wei said helplessly, "Ziqiao, please stop pestering me. Isn't the outcome of this game obvious? You will definitely lose."

Lu Ziqiao stopped Zhang Wei and refused to let him go. With a fierce look on his face, he said, "Don't go. Everything depends on human effort. I will definitely be able to pull off this desperate counterattack."

Zhang Wei was frightened by his expression and said in a panic, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to imitate the Han chess master? I admit defeat, you win."

Playing chess is risky and requires caution. Who is playing chess so unruly? It turns out to be the unlucky Crown Prince of Wu!

Zhang Wei didn't want to be like the Crown Prince of Wu and declined politely.

Lu Ziqiao stopped him again, his face solemn, "Although I don't know who the Han chess master you're talking about is, I will never admit defeat, let alone accept a victory handed down from others. That would be an insult to my character!"

"You still have some dignity?" Zhang Wei was a little surprised. "And when did you become so stubborn? Ziqiao, this isn't like you. Did you get the wrong script?"

"That's because you've never truly understood me." Lu Ziqiao pulled out a blue book from somewhere and said proudly, "As the Lüshi Chunqiu says, a man of the Lü family never admits defeat, let alone accepting a victory handed down from others."

Zhang Wei took the book curiously and said, "There really is such a saying. How come I haven't heard of it before?"

Lu Ziqiao took back the Lüshi Chunqiu and said with a smile: "That's right. There are so many famous quotes from famous people in China. You can hear them everywhere."

Lü Ziqiao held up his copy of Lüshi Chunqiu and said with a smile, "When I write the Spring and Autumn Annals, of course I write whatever comes to mind. Tremble, Zhang Wei, you can't beat me."

Just as the two were about to continue their game, Tang Youyou pushed the door open and walked in, panting, "Great, you're all here."

Guan Gu raised his head and asked with concern: "Youyou, what's wrong with you? Why are you running so fast? Is someone chasing you?"

Lu Ziqiao half-jokingly said, "Aunt, are you being chased by a ghost? Don't be afraid, we will help you deal with him."

Tang Youyou calmed down for a moment, then said, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm here to tell you a piece of news. A beautiful woman with a great figure moved into room 3501 downstairs. Xiao Hei met her and fell in love with her one-sidedly."

Lin Ze shook his head: "My son Xiao Hei has the talent to be a dog licker?"

Zhang Wei asked curiously: "Aze, what is a licking dog? It doesn't sound like a good word."

Lin Ze waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

Lu Ziqiao picked out the key words from the previous conversation: "Wow, what a beautiful girl. Haha, I'm going to make friends with my new neighbor." As he said that, he overturned the chessboard, indicating that he didn't want to play anymore.

Zhang Wei was stunned and couldn't help cursing: "Damn, there's no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex! Lu Ziqiao is such a bastard, I was clearly going to win."

Zeng Xiaoxian commented: "Killing two birds with one stone, worthy of Ziqiao."

Guan Gu also said: "Zhang Wei, don't you know Ziqiao yet? Isn't this a normal thing for him?"

Zhang Wei said righteously: "In this case, as a lawyer, I must uphold justice, maintain harmonious relations among neighbors, and protect women from harassment by perverts. This is my unshirkable responsibility." As he said this, he started to chase after him.

Zeng Xiaoxian said disdainfully: "He talks better than anyone else, but runs faster than anyone else. I despise him."

Guan Gu patted Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "Don't pretend to be so serious here. Your expression has already betrayed you, Teacher Zeng."

Tang Youyou urged: "Let's go quickly, I believe you will like this new neighbor."

Lin Ze was a little skeptical: "Really? She's not RMB, how could anyone like her?"

A few people ran to 3501 and found that Lu Ziqiao and Zhang Wei had hit a wall and the door was closed.

Tang Youyou scolded: "You must have been too obvious and scared me."

Lin Ze touched his chin: Well, one is lecherous and the other is silly, it is indeed suspicious.

Tang Youyou knocked on the door. Not long after, a figure opened the door and said impatiently, "I told you not to bother me anymore. Why are you here again?"

Lin Ze gasped when he saw the familiar silhouette. How could it be Mia? How did she move to the Love Apartment?

Mia also saw Lin Ze and smiled slightly, but didn't say much, just pretended not to know him.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

"What are you guys trying to do by blocking my door?" Mia tilted her head and looked at them.

Tang Youyou smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Tang Youyou, your neighbor. I live upstairs in room 3601. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

Mia reached out and held Tang Youyou's hand: "Mia."

Then she extended her hand to Lin Ze, who shook it calmly: "Lin Ze."

After letting go of her hand, Lin Ze felt a little uneasy because Mia had just scratched the palm of his hand, which made him feel a little itchy.

Zeng Xiaoxian took the initiative to step forward and said confidently: "I am a good man. I am Zeng Xiaoxian, Mia, nice to meet you."

Then he was glaringly ignored by Mia. Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's helpless expression, everyone laughed happily.

Zeng Xiaoxian became even more depressed.
