Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 122 Completely Devastated

Although he was prepared to be beaten up, Zi Qiao was still terrified and instinctively backed away when he saw Yao Yao and Qian Qian walking towards him with sinister smiles on their faces.

I must have been delirious from diarrhea last night to choose to stand here and get beaten up instead of running away.

Ziqiao began to regret his words the moment they left his mouth, but regret was no excuse; he couldn't take them back now that they were already out.

A man should always keep his word... except when it comes to picking up girls, of course.

It's common knowledge that the lies told by men and women when they're in love never count.

"Yaoyao, Qianqian, your teacher Hu has already punished me severely, and I have deeply reflected on my mistakes..."

"So, ladies, could you please go a little easier on me?"

Ziqiao cried and begged.

Yao Yao and Qian Qian looked at Wan Yu and the other two, wanting to confirm the truth of Zi Qiao's words.

Wanyu and the other two nodded repeatedly, speaking well of Ziqiao: "Ziqiao has indeed changed a lot recently, and he has suffered a lot... Maybe we should just let it go."

Wanyu, being a girl, was ultimately a bit soft-hearted, and she tried to persuade her.

"Forget it? Why should we forget it!" Yao Yao said coldly. "It didn't happen to you, so of course you think we should forget it."

Qianqian nodded in agreement: "Even if a scumbag can change his ways, can all the bastard things he did before be erased?"

Wan Yu was speechless after being confronted by Yao Yao and Qian Qian. Upon reflection, it made sense; you can't expect the victim to forgive the scumbag after he has reformed.

After all, the damage that should have been done has already been done.

Just as Yao Yao and Qian Qian were about to start fighting, Wan Yu spoke up again: "Wait a minute."

She simply couldn't bear to watch Ziqiao be bullied like this.

So Wanyu turned around, closed her eyes, and covered her ears: "Alright, you can do it now."

"Wow, Wanyu, you're so smart!" Zeng Xiaoxian followed suit and closed his eyes and covered his ears.

Ziqiao: "???"

"You guys really are my good friends, my good brothers!" Ziqiao said angrily.

Zhanbo stood to the side and chuckled, "Ziqiao, don't worry, I'm different from them."

"So you're just going to watch me get beaten up?"

Ziqiao's lips twitched, and he suddenly felt uneasy whether they were looking at him or not.

Zhanbo held up his phone sheepishly: "My older sister said she wants to see you get beaten up, so she asked me to record the video and post it in the group chat."

"No, you guys... Ah!!!"

Before Ziqiao could finish speaking, Yaoyao and Qianqian punched him.

"You scumbag! You tried to fool us by pretending to be a good man!"

"You're the one who got us caught by Teacher Hu and used as examples to teach anti-fraud classes!"

"So you've forgotten our names!"

"You dared to say 'a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness' to another woman right in front of us!"

"I'll make you... unable to figure it out. Just keep hitting me."

Hearing the sounds of fists hitting flesh and Zi Qiao's loud cries of pain, Wan Yu and Xiao Xian couldn't bear it and covered their ears even tighter.

The two even subconsciously moved back a little, afraid that Yao Yao and Qian Qian's anger might accidentally affect them.

……

"I feel refreshed and invigorated."

Yao Yao and Qian Qian finally let out the words they had been holding back for so long.

"Now you've finally paid back what you owed us. From today onwards, we'll have no grudges against each other, and we won't recognize each other on the street," Yao Yao said, clapping her hands.

Qianqian, still not satisfied, kicked Ziqiao again, but only said softly, "Since your friends all say you've turned over a new leaf, then I hope you can continue to be a good person."

"That way, even if you can't escape being beaten before, at least you won't have to be beaten anymore."

After transferring the money to Wanyu, the two left without looking back.

Once Yao Yao and Qian Qian had walked away, Xiao Xian and Zhan Bo quickly helped Zi Qiao up.

"Ziqiao, my dear Ziqiao, my good brother, are you alright?"

Ziqiao shoved Zeng Xiaoxian away, who was disgusting: "Just now you covered your ears and closed your eyes, treating me like I was invisible. Now you call me 'darling' and 'good brother' all the time."

"I didn't get beaten to death by Yao Yao and Qian Qian, but you're making me sick to death."

Watching Yao Yao and Qian Qian walk away, Zi Qiao covered his sore spot and said, "They must have practiced with Hu Yifei; they're much stronger than the average girl."

"Hiss... Didn't we agree not to hit each other in the face?" Ziqiao covered his face and gasped.

Zhanbo gave Qiao a quick check-up and exclaimed in surprise, "Ziqiao, you really are a once-in-a-century genius in external martial arts!"

"They hit you so hard, yet you barely have any bruises. That's amazing."

"What a load of bull," Zi Qiao scoffed. "If you were like me, starting to chase girls and get beaten up by them when you were ten or so, and lying and getting beaten up too, as long as you could handle it, you could also develop an indestructible physique like mine."

Wanyu blinked her big eyes: "Zhanbo, are you sure Ziqiao is completely fine right now?"

Zhanbo replied with considerable pride, "I've lived at Grandpa Nanfeng's house for so many years during my older sister's summer and winter vacations. Even if I didn't learn anything, I still have the ability to judge whether a person is injured."

As Zhanbo spoke, he patted Ziqiao's chest vigorously to prove himself: "Look how strong Ziqiao is, he'll probably be full of energy again in a little while."

"Ouch... Lu Zhanbo, are you crazy? Why are you hitting me so hard? I'm fine, but it's not like I don't feel pain!"

Ziqiao retaliated by slapping Zhanbo back, causing Zhanbo to crouch on the ground, wincing in pain.

Zeng Xiaoxian, being mischievous, suddenly poked at Ziqiao's sore spot: "Ziqiao, how did you feel after being beaten up by these two girls?"

"It hurts, what else could it feel like?" Ziqiao looked at Xiaoxian as if she were an idiot. "It's not like I'm really indestructible, and I feel better and better as they hit me, and I get more and more orgasms as they beat me."

"I'm not talking about physical sensations, I'm talking about psychological sensations."

Xiao Xian mischievously raised his eyebrows: "The moment you heard them say they had no grudges against you, didn't you feel a sense of rebirth?"

"No, I just felt like my nightmare was finally over, but seeing you guys made me realize that having a bunch of disloyal brothers like you is the nightmare of my whole life."

Ziqiao said this insincerely.

A complete rebirth? Of course, it doesn't feel that far-fetched.

But when he heard that they had no grudges against each other, Ziqiao did feel relieved.

Although my body was still in pain, I felt a little more relaxed.

Moreover, Ziqiao was initially terrified of the beating the two of them would give him, but after he actually received the beating, he realized that it was exactly the same pain he usually felt when girls beat him.

So what was he afraid of before?

If you're prepared to be retaliated against and beaten by a girl after you're caught trying to pick up girls, then why don't you honestly make amends for your past mistakes?

Ziqiao then realized that he had changed. This change was not an external rule of not using friends' identities when picking up girls or disappearing without a trace, but something deeper.

Of course, he himself still finds all of this to be a complete mess, so there's no way he could tell the cheeky Zeng Xiaoxian in front of him.

Ziqiao's brutal beating naturally attracted a lot of onlookers. After learning the general situation, some of the passersby were so outrageous that they wanted to pay money to try out this so-called beating service, but Xiaoxian and his two companions refused them all.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think Ziqiao is a natural punching bag that anyone can beat up whenever they want?

After such a refusal, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and Ziqiao's stall returned to its previous deserted state.

Although some people looking for fun tried Qiao's services, another half hour passed, and the total donations they raised were less than what Yao Yao and Qian Qian donated individually.

Wan Yu pouted at the bleak situation before her: "At this rate, we're going to lose."

"Yes," Zhanbo sighed, "If only there were more people as generous as Yaoyao and Qianqian."

"You can't say that. Donations are all about the sentiment, whether you donate a lot or a little. Besides, Yao Yao and Qian Qian weren't just doing it for the donations; they wanted to beat up Zi Qiao to vent their anger..."

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly froze halfway through his sentence, as a brilliant idea exploded in his mind.

"Ziqiao... how many ex-girlfriends like Yaoyao and Qianqian want to beat you up?"

Ziqiao was practically bored to death by now. He replied listlessly, "Nonsense, it hasn't been that long since the four major factions besieged Love Apartment. Which of my radical ex-girlfriends doesn't want to give me a good beating?"

While frantically trying to signal to Wanyu and Zhanbo with his eyes, Zeng Xiaoxian asked Ziqiao, "So, do you want to both win this test and get rid of this major headache—the radical faction?"

"Of course I'd love to have something like that, but unfortunately, nothing comes for free."

Ziqiao was probably still reeling from the pain of being hit, but Wanyu and Zhanbo had already grasped the genius of Teacher Zeng's idea.

Zeng Xiaoxian signaled to Zhanbo and Wanyu with his eyes to cooperate with him, and he quietly moved next to Ziqiao and put his arm around Ziqiao's arm.

"Ziqiao, you probably have some ex-girlfriends' contact information saved on your phone, right?"

"Yes, but so what..." Ziqiao was startled halfway through his sentence, and he finally realized what he was talking about.

Ziqiao stared in astonishment at Zeng Xiaoxian's smirking face: "Teacher Zeng, Yifei was right when she said you're a scoundrel. We're brothers, and you actually thought of betraying me?"

You beast! You're such a beast!

Although I've often tricked you, like telling Yifei behind her back what you said badly about her, adding lemon water from Nanfeng's refrigerator to your milk, and calling your radio station's hotline to ask you weird questions when I'm bored.

But you betrayed me so blatantly, do we still have to be brothers?

"This isn't betrayal, it's clearly a win-win situation."

Zeng Xiaoxian counted on his fingers and explained to him: "Take the incident between Yao Yao and Qian Qian as an example."

"For them, they not only spent money to do good deeds, but also got to beat you up and vent their anger. Yao Yao and Qian Qian must feel like they got a great deal."

"For impoverished children, they will soon receive substantial donations, enabling them to make further progress in their studies. This is already a win-win situation."

"You didn't lose out either. You only got a beating and it ended a bad relationship. Plus, you raised a thousand dollars in donations, which greatly improved our dismal progress."

"Ziqiao, this is a win-win-win situation!"

"A win-win-win situation? I think it's a win-win-four situation!" Ziqiao said angrily. "You bunch of scheming people are laughing your heads off as you see me get beaten up!"

Zeng Xiaoxian stroked his chin and agreed, "That's not wrong. Yao Yao and Qian Qian vented their anger, the children received donations, the ill-fated relationship you learned about incidentally resulted in good grades, and we also gained happiness."

"This isn't even a win-win-win situation anymore; we're winning so many times we're practically numb!"

Ziqiao was stunned by Zeng Xiaoxian's words. Why did he feel that what he said made so much sense?

But that doesn't make sense. If everyone is winning big, then who is actually losing?

I'm coming
