Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Before long, Su Mingyang had filled a large bag, and carrying it, he walked over to Lü Ziqiao and asked, "Ziqiao, how was it? Did you get anything?"

"Don't even mention it, I didn't catch a single one." Lu Ziqiao said with a sullen face, looking utterly hopeless.

"That's not scientific. I've stopped fishing. Logically speaking, you're the most handsome one, so why aren't the female fish taking your bait?" Su Mingyang joked.

"Who knows? I refuse to believe it. I'm determined to catch one today!" Lu Ziqiao thought fiercely.

"What's wrong? You're not going back if you don't catch anything, are you?"

"of course."

"..."

"I've caught four already, Ziqiao. Looks like you're having a really bad day." Xiao Hei got up, stretched, and shook his head.

"Sigh, let's just ignore him and let him fish slowly." Su Mingyang sighed.

……

As night fell, Lü Ziqiao still hadn't caught anything, and Su Mingyang and Xiao Hei tried to persuade him to leave, but he wouldn't budge. The three of them had been fishing for half a day and were starving, so they grilled a fish on the spot for dinner.

After eating the grilled fish, Lü Ziqiao went back to the lake to fish.

Su Mingyang and Xiao Hei exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Since they didn't bring a fish bucket, the two of them worked together to dig a hole, filled it with water, put the fish they had caught in it, and then went back to the car to rest, where they drifted off to sleep.

I closed my eyes, and before I knew it, it was the next morning.

Su Mingyang was sound asleep in his car seat when he was woken up by a knocking sound on the window. He opened his eyes groggily, and a pungent fishy smell immediately woke him up.

"Holy crap, Ziqiao, what's wrong with you?"

Su Mingyang opened the car window and was taken aback when he saw Lu Ziqiao, who was covered in dirt.

"Haha! Mingyang, look! I finally caught a fish!" Lu Ziqiao said, showing off a palm-sized crucian carp to Su Mingyang like a treasure.

Xiao Hei woke up at this moment and, seeing Lü Ziqiao, didn't react for a moment. He said to Su Mingyang, "Mingyang, where did this beggar come from?"

Su Mingyang immediately burst out laughing.

Lu Ziqiao said unhappily, "Little Black, open your squinty eyes and see who I am!"

"Are you Lu Ziqiao?" Xiao Hei asked in surprise, rubbing his eyes before realizing it really was him.

The two quickly got out of the car.

"Ziqiao, you haven't slept all night, just fishing here?" Su Mingyang asked.

"Otherwise what?" Lu Ziqiao was very excited. "Look at the fish I caught! Meijia will have to admit defeat now!"

"You don't look like you caught it by fishing." Su Mingyang looked Lu Ziqiao up and down, somewhat suspicious.

Who can catch a fish covered in mud and water?

“I think so too,” Xiao Hei chimed in.

"Uh." Lu Ziqiao felt a little uncomfortable under their gazes and told the truth, "Okay, let me tell you the truth, I didn't catch it. I hit it with a stick. I even fell into the lake for this fish."

"Awesome!" Su Mingyang and Xiao Hei exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison.

They were truly impressed by Lü Ziqiao; he'd spent the entire night fussing over a single fish.

"Let's go back. I can't wait to show Meijia my spoils." Lu Ziqiao was delighted at the thought of gaining face and money from Chen Jia.

"Okay." Su Mingyang nodded.

The three of them tidied up, threw the fish they had caught into the trunk, and drove back to Love Apartment.

……

Room 3602, Love Apartment.

"I'm the perfect man, I'm the biggest star!"

Zeng Xiaoxian hummed a song as he cleaned the room.

Today, his Rongrong Rabbit—oh, no, I mean producer Lisa Rong—is coming to our house to discuss the hosting position.

To make things go more smoothly, he specifically asked Guan Gu Shenqi and Chen Meijia to go out for a walk and come back later.

The thought of entering the television industry soon made him feel like he was floating on air.

Just then, Su Mingyang and Lü Ziqiao returned carrying fish.

As soon as he entered, Lu Ziqiao excitedly shouted, "Chen Meijia, come out quickly, I caught a fish!"

"Ziqiao, why are you back? Mingyang, you're here too." Zeng Xiaoxian looked up, smelled the fishy stench emanating from Lü Ziqiao, and quickly covered his nose and stepped aside, saying with disgust, "Damn, Lü Ziqiao, did you go begging? You're so dirty and smell so bad!"

“How could that be?” Lu Ziqiao rolled his eyes. “It’s obvious that Mingyang and I went fishing.”

“Yes, Teacher Zeng.” Su Mingyang showed Zeng Xiaoxian the long string of fish he was carrying, as well as a bag of snails.

"Mingyang, you're amazing! You caught so many fish." Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed, then looked at Lü Ziqiao and teased, "Hey Ziqiao, look how clean Mingyang is. How did you get like this? Did you get caught by fish?"

Chapter 51 There's an idiot in the apartment!

　"It was just a minor accident," Lu Ziqiao chuckled.

"Ziqiao, could you please wait next door for a bit?" Zeng Xiaoxian suggested. "I have an appointment with someone."

"You made plans with someone? Did you meet up with a beautiful girl?" Lu Ziqiao's eyes lit up. "Can I come along?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zeng Xiaoxian denied. "She's my boss, a top producer. Whether I can get on TV depends on today."

"Teacher Zeng, is it Lisa Rong?" Su Mingyang asked.

“Yes, that’s right.” Zeng Xiaoxian nodded.

"Wow, Teacher Zeng, you even invited them to your home," Su Mingyang teased.

"Mingyang, don't overthink it. Lisa Rong was worried that talking outside would have a bad influence if her colleagues at the radio station saw it, so she chose to meet at home," Zeng Xiaoxian quickly explained.

“Lisa Rong? What a stylish name, she must be a beauty.” Lu Ziqiao looked eager to try. “I’m best at dealing with beauties, Teacher Zeng, I will definitely use all my abilities to help you win her over.”

"Perform?" Zeng Xiaoxian looked disgusted. "You should first get rid of that smell on you."

"By the way, Teacher Zeng, where's Meijia?" Su Mingyang asked.

"out."

"They're not here? I've been fishing all night. Meijia should be impressed." Lu Ziqiao smiled smugly and showed off the fish to Zeng Xiaoxian.

Zeng Xiaoxian was so frightened that he took a step back and sprayed the air freshener in his hand at Lu Ziqiao.

"Holy crap, how can you stink like that? The whole world has to admire you! Get out of here!"

"Hehe, it smells a bit like grilled octopus." Lu Ziqiao laughed as he put the fish into the refrigerator.

"Have you finished releasing the fish? Please go next door with Mingyang for a while," Zeng Xiaoxian said irritably.

"Teacher Zeng, are you sure you don't want my help?" Lu Ziqiao's lips curled up. "I have a way of dealing with female bosses. I can make you defeat her instantly from three levels, five angles, and eight kinds of special techniques!"

"Instant kill? If I mess this up today, I'll kill you first!" Zeng Xiaoxian impatiently pushed Lu Ziqiao aside.

“Teacher Zeng, Ziqiao might actually be able to help you,” Su Mingyang said casually. He vaguely remembered that Lü Ziqiao had some connection with that Lisa Rong.

"Ha, Teacher Zeng, look, Mingyang said that having someone as handsome and dashing as me to help you out is a good thing." With Su Mingyang's affirmation, Lu Ziqiao's confidence swelled even more.

"Mingyang, stop joking. He actually helped me?" Zeng Xiaoxian looked Lu Ziqiao up and down, then curled his lip. "I should be grateful he didn't harm me. Look at how he faked illness and fooled us the other day!"

"Alright." Hearing this, Su Mingyang didn't say anything more.

“It was indeed my fault for that, but haven’t I already apologized? Teacher Zeng, please let me make amends this time?” Lu Ziqiao said sincerely.

"Get out!" Zeng Xiaoxian pointed to the door expressionlessly.

"Let's go, Ziqiao. In your current state, are you sure you can make amends?" Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow.

Lu Ziqiao's mind worked quickly, and he immediately understood what Su Mingyang meant.

"Alright, Teacher Zeng, I'll take a shower at Mingyang's place and come back later." After saying that, Lu Ziqiao went into the room to get a change of clothes and followed Su Mingyang into room 3601.

"Please don't come!" Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes and immediately locked the door.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Zeng Xiaoxian instinctively thought it was Lu Ziqiao and yelled at the door, "Ziqiao, can't you just shut up! If you have nothing to do, can't you go to a bar for a while?"

"It's me, Zeng Xiaoxian," a female voice said.

Upon hearing the voice, Zeng Xiaoxian quickly tidied his hair, opened the door, forced a smile, and gestured for Lisa Rong, who was standing at the door, to come in: "Hi, Lisa, please come in."

Lisa smiled and nodded, then went inside.

Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at room 3601 across the street, then quickly closed and locked the door.

Noticing his movement, Lisa Rong immediately became alert: "Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes darted around, and he made up a story: "It's like this, Lisa, there's a mentally challenged person living in my apartment building who often likes to break into other people's homes. I'm afraid he'll disturb us."

"Really?" Lisa Rong looked around the living room with a hint of disbelief. "You live alone?"

"I share an apartment with some friends. You know, as hosts, we need to collect materials from life all the time, so I chose Love Apartment. Love is the most beautiful language in the world, and it's not far away."

Zeng Xiaoxian was rambling on when he saw Lisa Rong about to sit down, so he rushed over and eagerly pulled out a chair for her.

"No wonder she's so young at her age; it's all thanks to Love Apartment," Lisa Rong said with a smile.
