Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 103 The Famous Detective Guan Gu Shenqi

"Watching a movie?" Wanyu shook her head. "Zhanbo did ask me to watch a movie with him, but guess what he chose?"

"When I take a girl to the movies, it's usually either a romance or a horror movie," Meijia guessed. "But Zhanbo is a bit odd; maybe he'll even take an animated film."

Curry Sauce said, "Isn't Zhanbo a fan of Transformers? I remember Transformers 4 just came out this year. He's not planning to take you to see Transformers, is he?"

"Transformers 4 was released in June this year, and Zhanbo has already seen it three times. It probably won't be Transformers. There aren't any other big sci-fi movies released recently, and considering Zhanbo's personality..."

Guan Gu pushed up his glasses and slammed his hand on his wheelchair, saying like Detective Conan, "There's only one truth! Zhanbo was going to show you a documentary, wasn't he?!"

"Guan Gu, what you're saying is too outrageous," Zi Qiao mocked.

However, Wan Yu sighed and nodded: "Guan Gu's description is actually quite close, except it's not a documentary, but an educational film."

"An educational film!" the four people in 3602 exclaimed in unison.

Guan Gu slapped his forehead: "Don't even mention me, even Conan would never have thought of this type of movie."

"An educational film." Meijia felt dizzy. "I can't take it anymore. Even the words 'educational film' make me, a terrible student, dizzy. Zhanbo, this is too outrageous!"

Curry Sauce quipped, "It sounds outrageous at first glance, but it's exactly the kind of thing Zhanbo would do."

Wan Yu sighed and said, "Actually, it's not surprising when you think about it carefully. Zhanbo has always liked UFOs. It's just that when I first heard about it, my head was buzzing."

Ziqiao laughed loudly and said, "Zhanbo, this is an interesting movie you've chosen. This is the first time I've ever heard of someone bringing a girl to watch an educational film."

"Wanyu, remember to tell me your thoughts after you watch it. If this trick works, I'll try it next time. Educational films should be much cheaper than other movie tickets."

Ziqiao stretched and yawned: "Chasing girls costs money everywhere, so every little bit saved counts."

Wanyu sat on the sofa, not in a good mood: "Ziqiao, I'm afraid I'm sorry to disappoint you. Zhanbo said these tickets are hard to come by, and they're not as cheap as you think. Besides, I've already refused him, so you probably won't be receiving my thoughts and experiences."

"Alright, looks like I'll have to choose an outrageously expensive romance movie then." Ziqiao picked up his coat from the sofa, put it on, and prepared to go out.

"Everyone, I'm going to see a movie with a girl."

Curry Sauce exclaimed, "You just hung up the phone to ask someone to go to the movies, and you're already getting ready to leave?"

"Of course, going to the movies always requires a lot of preparation."

"Besides booking tickets, what else do I need to prepare to watch a movie?" Curry Sauce asked, completely bewildered.

"Kids are so naive. You think going to the movies is just about simply dragging a girl into the theater and then dragging her out?"

Ziqiao blinked. "Watching a movie is just a process, not the goal. This process can include anything a couple can do at night."

"Anything!"

"The most important thing is never how to get a girl into the movie theater, but how to make her so happy that she doesn't want to go home tonight. Achieving this goal is not something that can be accomplished by just taking her to see a movie whose content is unknown."

"Many boys who ask girls to go to the movies simply find a movie theater, pick a movie, and that's it."

"They wouldn't know where the nearest flower shop is near the cinema, or what kind of flowers they sell."

"You wouldn't know what the best food and fun things are near the cinema."

"I certainly wouldn't scout out the shopping malls near the cinema beforehand to see if there are any small gifts I could buy as presents, and then take the girl to that shop at the right moment and then pretend to buy the little thing on a whim and give it to her."

"But I'll find out all of that soon enough."

Ziqiao straightened his back and tucked in his stomach, adjusting his suit: "That's why, when it comes to watching a movie, ordinary boys can only obediently walk girls home afterward, but I..."

"But I can bring girls home to my house."

Ziqiao rubbed his hands together and smiled excitedly, as if he could already imagine the wonderful life he would have tonight.

"Scumbag." The three girls present looked at him with disdain.

"What scumbag? Isn't this exactly the kind of thoughtfulness you girls want?" Ziqiao pouted. "You can't expect others to be thoughtful towards you while also preventing them from having their own thoughts."

"These days, there are fewer and fewer fools who would give their all without complaint."

Seeing the three women's "scumbags don't deserve to talk to me" attitude, Zi Qiao wasn't angry. He fixed his hair and prepared to go out.

"Wish me luck. If I succeed tonight, I might not even need to stay at Nanfeng's place and can just move into the woman's house."

"Hehehe..."

Watching Ziqiao's departing figure, Meijia said with a displeased expression, "I should have known better than to break up with him."

"ah?!!"

The three of them looked at Meijia and wondered if she had been driven to illness by Ziqiao, since she didn't seem like the type to be so love-struck.

"What I mean is, if I hadn't broken up with him, seeing him like this now, I could have given him a good beating. Now he's single and chasing girls, and I know he'll break up with them after he's done, but I just don't have any reason to teach him a lesson. It's infuriating!"

But to be honest, although Zi Qiao is still fooling around and never serious, he really did keep all the promises he made to everyone.

No matter how fast he changes girlfriends, at least now he only dates one at a time, and regardless of whether the breakup is amicable or not, he's no longer going to disappear like before.

This is why people's condemnation of him is merely verbal grumbling.

Wan Yu still seemed uninterested: "Do you think I should apologize to Zhan Bo? I rejected him too quickly back then, and he seemed quite disappointed."

Meijia said, "There's no need for that. Zhanbo's disappointment isn't because you rejected him too quickly, but because you rejected him. Unless you're willing to keep accommodating his preferences, Zhanbo's disappointment is only a matter of time."

"Besides, Zhanbo is a grown man, he can't be unable to get over such a small thing."

Wanyu thought about it for a moment and felt that Meijia's words made a lot of sense, so she smiled again: "That's true."

"But..." Curry Sauce scratched her head, asking in confusion, "If you refused to go to the movies with Zhanbo, then who is the girl who's going to watch the movies with him tonight?"

"What?!" Wan Yu jumped up from the sofa in shock. Under the astonished gazes of Mei Jia and Curry Sauce, she quickly realized that her reaction was too intense.

"Curry sauce, what I mean is, tell me to speak properly and not to wrongly accuse Zhanbo."

"Well, when I went to room 3601 just now, I saw Sister Yifei tying Zhanbo's tie and telling him what to pay attention to when watching a movie, and also saying things like he should be more considerate of the little girl."

"Then I would definitely think Zhanbo was going to take Wanyu to the movies."

The curry sauce spoke softer and softer.

Meijia exclaimed in amazement, "I thought it was already outrageous that Zhanbo liked watching educational films, but it turns out he actually found another girl who likes them too. It's true what they say, 'In a big forest, all kinds of birds can find a pair.'"

Guan Gu shook his head: "I still don't believe that any girl would like watching educational films. I'd rather believe that she just wanted to watch educational films with Zhanbo."

Curry Sauce blurted out what was on her mind: "A girl willing to watch educational films with Zhanbo, even Sister Yifei wouldn't do that, this is definitely true love."

Wanyu pouted.

For some reason, she just felt uneasy.

"No, I have to go see who this girl is," Wan Yu said through gritted teeth.

The remaining three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Meijia said tactfully, "Wanyu, this isn't a good idea. You've already refused to watch the movie with Zhanbo, so it's perfectly normal for him to find someone else to watch it with him."

Seeing the strange looks in the three people's eyes, Wan Yu quickly explained, "You don't think I'm planning to cause trouble, do you?"

The three remained silent, but their meaning was self-evident.

"Oh dear, you're overthinking it." Wan Yu said, both amused and exasperated. "I really just wanted to see that girl."

Guan Gu didn't quite understand Wan Yu's thoughts: "Why?"

"Because I'm curious," Wanyu replied matter-of-factly. "Aren't you all curious about what kind of girl would accompany Zhanbo to watch an educational film?"

Meijia and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance.

Is curiosity a valid reason?

Curiosity is certainly a valid reason for visiting Love Apartment!

"Wanyu, I'll go with you," Curry Sauce said coquettishly, pulling Wanyu's hand.

Ever since Wanyu started working part-time with Curry Sauce, the two youngest girls in Love Apartment have become increasingly close.

"Me too..." Meijia wanted to gossip, but she only remembered that she had a mission tonight before she could finish her sentence.

"I have to help Guangu entertain his senior brother tonight, so I probably won't be able to go with you guys." Meijia looked regretful, then made a phone call gesture. "If there's a chance, let's keep in touch via WeChat. Even if I can't be on the front lines of the drama myself, I'll still be the first person in the apartment to get the scoop."

Curry Sauce gave an OK sign: "Okay, Sister Meijia, I'll definitely give you the latest news in real time when I have the chance."

"Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Guan Gu said seriously.

Wan Yu waved her hand and said, "Guan Gu, you don't understand. This is a girl's curiosity."

"No, what I mean is, don't ignore me. I'm actually very curious too."

Guan Gu's glasses gleamed with a sharp, deductive light: "Don't you guys think this girl's appearance is a bit abrupt?"

"What's so surprising about that? Maybe Zhanbo just didn't want to waste his ticket, so he found a female colleague at the company who was willing to watch an educational film with him."

Mika offered her reasoning, but Guan Gu quickly refuted it.

"Meijia, we're talking about Zhanbo, so we can't use normal human reasoning to deduce this."

Do you think there might be a young girl in Zhanbo's company who can chat with him and is willing to watch educational films with him?

"Uh..." Mika was stunned.

Zhanbo's company is likely full of highly capable career women. The chances of finding a girl who meets the above criteria among these elite professionals are slim...

"Thinking about it that way, it does seem very abrupt," Mika said decisively.

"And even if Zhanbo really did meet a girl who meets all these criteria, why haven't we heard about her before?"

"Yeah, Zhanbo is the kind of guy who'll brag to Yifei for ages about even if a girl at the company just says thank you to him." Curry Sauce suddenly realized. "If there really is a girl who gets along so well with Zhanbo, and he even dares to invite her to the movies, there's no reason we wouldn't have known about her before."

Wan Yu also seemed to be thinking: "That's right, there's no way we wouldn't know about a girl like that all this time."

"She couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere, could she?"

"There's only one truth!" Guan Gu said again in the tone of a famous detective, "This girl has always existed, but for various reasons, Zhanbo had to keep it a secret from us."

"Various reasons?" The three girls pondered carefully, trying their best to guess.

The more they speculated, the stronger the gossip and curiosity became in their eyes.

Here it comes!
