Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

“I think so too,” Lu Zhanbo agreed. After the recent ideological education, he now had to agree with whatever Hu Yifei said.

"What insurance for houses! How could I possibly do that!" Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes and revealed the answer: "I heard through a loophole that a TV station is looking for a host for a new program." He paused, glanced at everyone's expressions, and continued—

"I also heard through a tidbit that their program's producer is named Lisa Rong! Just think, I finally have a chance to enter the television industry! Haha..."

"Wait, wait," Hu Yifei interrupted, frowning. "Your logic is a bit off. You think you can switch careers and become a TV host just because you heard a few rumors?"

“Of course not!” Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow. “According to the latest rumors, Lisa Rong will be coming to our radio station this afternoon to scout for a host. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; she might just be the one who changes my life!”

"Oh ho, Teacher Zeng, your Rongrong Rabbit is about to make its appearance," Su Mingyang blurted out.

He had almost forgotten all the plot of Love Apartment, but the line "Xian Baobao, I am your Rongrong Rabbit" was still very memorable to him.

"What Rongrong Rabbit? Mingyang, what are you talking about?" Zeng Xiaoxian was completely confused.

Hu Yifei and the other two didn't understand either, and looked at Su Mingyang with puzzled expressions.

“It’s Teacher Zeng’s Lisa Rong,” Su Mingyang said casually.

"Wow, what an adorable nickname!" Lin Wanyu exclaimed with a smile.

"Cute?" Zeng Xiaoxian's lips twitched. "I got goosebumps!"

"Hey Mingyang, you wouldn't happen to have feelings for this Lisa Rong, would you?" Hu Yifei swirled the cocktail in her hand, playing with the flavor.

"How could that be!" Su Mingyang quickly denied. "She's the one who changed Teacher Zeng's life. She's Teacher Zeng's true love. How could I possibly have such thoughts about her!"

If he remembered correctly, Lisa Rong should be around forty years old, and she seems to have some connection with Lu Ziqiao. He, a twenty-year-old young man, couldn't possibly afford her...

"Mingyang, don't talk nonsense, okay? What true love!" Zeng Xiaoxian said, looking flustered.

"By the way, Teacher Zeng, I have a question for you. If Feifei and Lisa Rong both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?" Lin Wanyu asked with a smile.

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment and glanced at Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei turned her head to the side, pretending to be nonchalant.

“Wanyu, you…” Su Mingyang was both amused and exasperated, thinking that Wanyu had also gone astray.

"Teacher Zeng, are you not going to save either of them?" Lu Zhanbo asked with a malicious smile.

He had just been tricked by Su Mingyang, and now he was thinking of tricking Zeng Xiaoxian in return.

Zeng Xiaoxian thought for a moment and was about to answer when Hu Yifei couldn't help but speak first: "Who would want this bitch to save me? I can swim up by myself!"

Lu Zhanbo's smile froze, and he was completely flustered: "Sis, that's not what you just told me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yifei gave him a killer look, and he immediately shut up.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian took a deep breath, holding his breath, and said unhappily, "Hmph, even if you can't swim, I won't save you!"

"Tch, it's not like anyone wants you to save them. You should go back to hug your Rongrong Rabbit!" Hu Yifei scoffed, her expression full of disdain, before getting up and leaving the bar.

"Sis, wait for me!" Lu Zhanbo quickly followed.

"Hmph, what's with the arrogance? My life is about to set sail, just wait and see!" Zeng Xiaoxian tossed his hair and left the bar.

Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu watched them leave, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads helplessly.

Chapter 46 Mika, you forgot your brain!

　"Mingyang, what should we do? It's all my fault for asking such a question, which caused Teacher Zeng and Feifei to quarrel." Lin Wan felt somewhat guilty.

"It's nothing, that's just how they get along, it's called a love-hate relationship," Su Mingyang comforted her.

"Oh." Lin Wanyu nodded blankly, then suddenly slapped her forehead. "Oh right, I just remembered I have an interview. It's almost time, Mingyang, I have to hurry. Bye!"

After saying that, she packed her things and rushed out of the bar.

"Take it easy." Su Mingyang smiled and shook his head. If there was nothing else, he went back to his apartment.

As I entered the elevator, I happened to run into Chen Meijia, who was returning from shopping.

"Mingyang, you're finally back!" Chen Meijia was very excited to see Su Mingyang.

"Meijia, what do you want to do?" Su Mingyang entered the elevator, pretending to be wary.

"Mingyang, why are you making that face? I'm not going to eat you!" Chen Jia wrinkled her nose angrily. "I just need to talk to you about something."

"You're not going to ask me again if I need an assistant, are you?" Su Mingyang joked, seeing how open and honest Chen Meijia's expression was, he guessed it wasn't that.

"Of course not! You've already rejected me, how could I possibly keep bothering you!" Chen Meijia said irritably.

"That's good." Su Mingyang nodded, his impression of Chen Meijia improving considerably. "So, what's the matter?"

"You really dislike me that much!" Chen Meijia rolled her eyes and began to explain, "It's about Guan Gu. He hasn't had any inspiration these past few days, so he just drew a cat head. I made him a pot of fish soup to help him brainstorm. Since you're such a good cook, I wanted you to give him some pointers and some inspirational suggestions. After all, you're both cartoonists, so I don't want him to go and cause trouble for supermarkets."

"This is it, no problem." Su Mingyang nodded in agreement, then asked in confusion, "By the way, what happened with Guan Gu causing trouble for that supermarket?"

"He went to the supermarket to knead instant noodles, saying it would inspire him."

"Did not buy?"

"without……"

"Aren't the people of Japan supposed to be very well-mannered? Guan Gu's behavior is a bit of a drag on their image."

Su Mingyang muttered something to himself, got out of the elevator, and followed Chen Meijia into suite 3602.

As soon as they entered, they saw Guan Gu sitting on the living room sofa, writing something with a very focused expression, completely unaware of their presence.

Seeing this, Chen Meijia called out, "Guan Gu, Mingyang is here."

"Oh, it's Mingyang-jun." Guan Gu came to his senses, stood up, and was very enthusiastic.

"Guan Gu, I heard from Mei Jia that you've been lacking inspiration lately?" Su Mingyang went straight to the point.

"Yeah, I sat in front of the chair all day trying to draw, but I couldn't draw a single line. My mind felt completely blank." Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head, his expression suddenly becoming distressed.

"I have a suggestion for you: either go for a run outside, look at other people's comics, or watch some movies that are a specialty of your Japan. These can all inspire you. Don't bother squeezing instant noodles from the supermarket," Su Mingyang said with a smile.

"Mingyang-jun, you know I knead instant noodles now?" Guan Gu Shenqi grinned awkwardly.

"Is that the point?" Su Mingyang rolled his eyes.

"Guan Gu, Ming Yang gave you so much advice, but you didn't listen to any of it?" Chen Meijia stomped her foot in anger.

"Oh, oh." Guan Gu Shenqi realized what was happening and took out his notebook. "Thank you, Mingyang-jun. I've written everything you said down."

"That's good." Su Mingyang smiled slightly, looked at the numerous labels on the coffee table, and asked, "Guan Gu, what are these?"

"A quiz with prizes!" Guan Gu Shenqi's face was filled with excitement. "It's supposedly a promotional event for Qingniao Beer. Each bottle of beer has a question about world travel on the back of the label. If I collect thirty labels and answer all the questions correctly, I can enter the grand prize draw!"

"So many tags!" Chen Jia exclaimed in surprise. "Where did they all come from?"

"I was shopping at the supermarket just now, and I passed by the beer counter. Then these things just inexplicably fell down on their own," Guan Gu said proudly.

Su Mingyang rolled his eyes. Guan Gu's behavior was no longer a matter of manners. He quickly threatened, "Guan Gu, you know that's theft. If you get caught, you'll be detained for at least fifteen days!"

"Oh! Is it that serious? I thought it was just the label and nothing to worry about." Guan Gu Shenqi panicked.

"Otherwise what?" Su Mingyang was speechless.

He now realizes that Guan Gu Shenqi is even more clueless than Lu Zhanbo. Although Zhanbo is terrible at interpersonal communication, at least he has no problems with his manners.

“Yes, Guan Gu, we can’t do this,” Chen Meijia advised.

“Okay, I promise this is absolutely the last time,” Guan Gu Shenqi said sincerely. “Actually, my purpose is not the label, but travel. I suddenly discovered that travel can inspire my creative inspiration.”

"What travel?" Chen Meijia asked curiously.

"The grand prize for answering all the questions correctly is a trip—a free and easy European trip for two!" Guan Gu Shenqi exclaimed excitedly.

"Really?" Chen Meijia clapped her hands excitedly. "How about I help you peel off a few more labels!"

After saying that, she ran out the door, completely forgetting what she had just said.

"Meijia, wait, you forgot to bring something." Su Mingyang's lips twitched.

Chen Meijia stopped and turned back to ask, "Mingyang, what is that?"

"Brain!" Su Mingyang tapped Chen Meijia's head irritably.

"Mingyang, are you saying I'm brainless?" Chen Meijia pouted angrily.

"Uh, Meijia, I just said we can't keep tearing off the tags, that's unethical!" Guan Gu Shenqi reminded him.

"Uh, okay, I was just too excited." Chen Meijia awkwardly tossed her hair.

"Not bad, Guan Gu, you are truly a promising young man," Su Mingyang praised.

"Mingyang Jun, when did I turn into a furnace? And I can even make noise?" Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head, puzzled.

"Uh, this idiom means you're very smart." Su Mingyang was too lazy to explain further.

"Thank you for the compliment." Guan Gu Shenqi nodded, picked up a label and said with a troubled expression, "I really regret tearing off so many labels. These questions are too difficult. I couldn't even answer the first one. Why is Jianpu Village called Jianpu Village?"

“I know!” Chen Meijia tilted her head. “It must be because their chieftain is very frugal and lives a simple life, so it’s called Jianpu Village!”

Guan Gu Shenqi was excitedly trying to write it down when he suddenly realized something was wrong and frowned, saying, "What? Meijia, Jianpu Village is a country."

“Then why don’t you just Google it on Baidu?” Chen Meijia said matter-of-factly.

Guan Gu Shenqi frowned: "Their question setters are a little bit smarter than us. If it were that easy to Google, wouldn't everyone be winning big prizes? Looks like I'll have to put in some more effort."

“Okay! Then Mingyang and I will make fish soup. Guangu, you can take your time with your homework. We’re going on a trip to Europe for two! I can already see Hawaii beckoning us!” Chen Meijia said excitedly, leading Su Mingyang to the kitchen.

"Hawaii? Isn't it in the Pacific Ocean?" Guan Gu was confused.
