Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 27 The Misunderstanding Continues

"I apologize to you both." Lisa stood aside and politely refrained from eavesdropping throughout. From her perspective, she had clearly shown Ziqiao and Xiaoxian ample respect.

"Have you finished talking? If so, can we settle the score now?"

Lu Ziqiao shouted, interrupting Lisa's haughty demeanor: "Well! You heartless wretch, you actually dare to come here!"

Ziqiao was heartbroken, as if he had suffered a heartbreak: "I've waited for you for so many years, and you haven't even called me once."

Zeng Xiaoxian stared in disbelief: "This is the legendary..."

Xiao Xian's brain was overloaded for a moment, and he couldn't think of any words to describe such shameless behavior.

"This is what they call turning the tables," Nanfeng added.

"Right, right, right, turning the tables on me." Xiaoxian suddenly realized, then froze, following the source of the sound to find Nanfeng hiding behind the curtains.

"Nanfeng, what are you doing here?"

"I was on the balcony getting some fresh air when I saw you pulling the curtains in front of your female boss, and there was Lu Ziqiao lying on the floor. I had to come over and see what was going on with such a mess."

Zeng Xiaoxian asked nervously, "How much did you hear?"

"all."

"Lu Ziqiao!" Zeng Xiaoxian covered his face and cursed. He had lost face big time, and it was all Lu Ziqiao's fault.

Nanfeng patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder with some sympathy: "It's okay, let's see how he performs first. If he can't handle things for you, it's not too late to deal with him later."

"That's true." The two reached a consensus and continued to observe from behind the curtains.

In the living room, Ziqiao successfully threw Lisa off balance with this counterattack, and he continued to press his advantage, saying, "Since that night, your name has been imprinted in my heart and engraved in my bones. I call your name in my dreams every night!"

"Lisa!"

Nanfeng stroked her chin, looking curious: "If you hadn't mentioned Lisa's name when you were talking to him, how do you think he should address your female boss now?"

"Good question!" Zeng Xiaoxian instantly felt like he had escaped another disaster. "Luckily, Ziqiao remembered it, otherwise I would have been really done for."

Lisa argued, "But I remember I gave you my phone number, and you didn't call me. Besides, you didn't have a cell phone back then!"

"Don't change the subject," Ziqiao started to whine. "Do you think I don't have a phone? Are you saying I can't afford one?"

"That day at the bar, you asked to borrow my phone and then struck up a conversation with me, and you only had three cents in your pocket."

"You searched my pants?"

"I also paid for the room."

"Really...?" Upon hearing this, Ziqiao suddenly felt a little less confident, especially when he glanced behind the curtains and saw two scoundrels, one of whom was clasping his hands in a servile manner to show respect, while the other was giving a thumbs up.

Lisa continued, "I'm absolutely sure I gave you my phone number and you promised to call me the next day."

"Please, use your brain. I only have three cents on me. Where am I supposed to call you? Or am I supposed to seduce another girl and ask her to borrow my phone?"

Am I that kind of person?

"A master, an absolute master." Nanfeng exclaimed in admiration. "Is this the legendary Lu Xiaobu? Seeing is believing."

Zeng Xiaoxian leaned closer and asked, "Expert? How expert?"

"He might not be the best at picking up girls, but he's definitely in the top three." Nanfeng turned his head and stirred things up. "If you have someone you like, ask him for advice. As long as you're not too stupid, you can basically get her."

Xiao Xian felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing this.

Xiao Xian, who was standing next to him in a suit, looked disdainful.

"I will always remember that night you kept drinking Pink Mary, your sexy lips were glistening, and the scent of your CD perfume clung to me."

Lisa became increasingly suspicious: "But you know I never use CD perfume."

"Oh no, we've messed up the chat." Nanfeng gloated, thinking, "That scumbag is really going to die."

Although Zeng Xiaoxian also hoped that Lu Ziqiao would be taught a lesson, this matter was closely related to his interests, so he could only rush up to cooperate with Lu Ziqiao.

"Lisa, didn't I tell you? Little Brook has severe amnesia. The doctor said it's a complication of late-stage cancer."

"Yes, yes, yes." Ziqiao understood immediately. "I often have amnesia. The doctor said it's Pamir Plateau Mild Intermittent Confusion Syndrome."

Xiaoxian continued to help fill in the gaps: "And once he enters amnesia, he'll talk nonsense, like Pink Mary or CD perfume, so don't take it to heart."

"Little Bu, so that means you've never forgotten me."

Lisa believed it, or rather, she willingly immersed herself in this illusion woven by her beloved and was unwilling to wake up.

"No, I never have." He put his arm around Lisa and began to intensify his advances.

"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen—gentle, pretty, kind, sexy, avant-garde, unrestrained, and radiant. I was so happy when I was with you. If I had your number, why wouldn't I call you? Wouldn't I be crazy?"

"Little Bu, there must be some misunderstanding. I'm so sorry," Lisa said, hesitating to finish her sentence.

"No, don't apologize. You hurt me deeply. Since then, I've often borrowed girls' phones. You know how many phones I need to borrow to forget you."

"It was you who took away my chance to be a good person."

Just when Zi Qiao had the rhythm firmly in his grasp, Mei Jia pushed open the door and entered, directly breaking the balance that should have been there.

"Ziqiao, where's your fish?" Meijia asked excitedly. "The whole apartment building's been buzzing about you catching a super big fish all day! Give it to me right away, I'll prepare it while it's still fresh, and we'll treat everyone to fish soup tonight!"

Ziqiao looked helpless and asked through gritted teeth, "How did you know I was here?"

Meijia was disgusted by the stench emanating from Ziqiao. She covered her nose and backed away, saying, "All the stray cats in the apartment building are at the door of the room."

"Little Bu, who is she?" Lisa asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Xiao Bu..." Meijia understood as soon as she heard this was Lu Ziqiao's secret account for picking up girls. It turned out that it was just another wild flower that Lu Ziqiao was dating outside.

Meijia was furious. She had heard that Lu Ziqiao had caught a super big fish today and was worried about him getting tired, so she wanted to make him some fish soup to help him recover.

As it turned out, the first thing I saw when I arrived was a wildflower.

Actually, Lu Ziqiao's womanizing has nothing to do with me, but their fake relationship isn't over yet. You actually brought a girl to room 3601, and Teacher Zeng caught you... Oh, and Nanfeng is watching from behind the curtains.

Great, what will everyone think of me if I just put up with this?

"Me? I'm Ziqiao's girlfriend." Ignoring Ziqiao's clasped hands in pleading and Zeng Xiaoxian's winking, Meijia put her arms around Ziqiao's arms.

"Ziqiao, who is this old lady?"

Snapped!

Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian exchanged a glance, then painfully patted their foreheads, knowing that things had spiraled into the worst possible direction that they were powerless to reverse.

"Girlfriend? Xiao Bu, is what she said true? And why does she call you Zi Qiao?" Lisa was struck dumb upon hearing this. She didn't even care that Mei Jia called her an old auntie, and hurriedly asked Zi Qiao for the truth.

"Lisa, listen to me..."

Before Ziqiao could finish speaking, he heard Meijia's affected and sarcastic voice.

"Some people don't even know the other person's real name, yet they act like the lady of the house. It's ridiculous."

Ziqiao felt his scalp tingling. If Zeng Xiaoxian and Nanfeng weren't positioned at the door and on the balcony eating melons respectively, preventing him from running anywhere, he would have turned and run away immediately.

Only a fool would face a potential battleground; a master like him usually defeats enemies one by one.

Ziqiao felt he was already troubled enough, but Zeng Xiaoxian was far more troubled than Ziqiao.

He could almost see that dazzling studio from his imagination receding into the distance.

The undisguised mockery of Xiao Xian in his suit could still be heard in his ears.

"Now you understand, don't you? Not only do you lack talent, but luck has never been on your side either." Xiao Xian in the suit said maliciously. He always spared no effort in mocking Zeng Xiaoxian, and at the same time, he was mocking himself.

It seems that by humiliating himself and tearing his heart apart, he can gain a masochistic pleasure and escape the bleak reality.

While Zeng Xiaoxian once again went into a mental breakdown due to internal conflict, the war between Meijia and Lisa continued.

I had a bad cold. It took me this long to finish writing this.
