Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 35 Tired

"Xiaoxue, it's me, Lü Xiaobu. Do you remember me?"

In room 3602, Zi Qiao sat on the sofa in the living room, making a phone call, while Mei Jia, who was wiping the dining table, watched Zi Qiao's performance with a pout.

"We've met at the bar. Yes, I'm the one with the Garfield on my butt."

"Ugh." Mika gagged silently.

"You gave me twenty phone numbers and asked me to guess which one was yours. Of course, how could I forget a beautiful woman's phone number?"

"Don't even mention twenty phone numbers, even if you give me fifty, I'll write them all down and try them one by one."

I believe that fate will eventually lead me to you.

Meijia cleared her throat: "Xiaobu, who are you talking to on the phone? I'm so busy at home, and you, as my boyfriend, don't even care about me?"

Ziqiao stared at Meijia in astonishment, while still holding the phone in his hand: "No, Xiaoxue, listen to me..."

"Hey Bu, hurry up and come help your lovely girlfriend with the housework."

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue..."

Ziqiao looked at the phone after it was hung up with a helpless expression: "Chen Meijia, you're only satisfied when you ruin my plans."

"No way! Did I just tell a single lie? Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"We're just a fake couple in name only, it's all an act for everyone. I'm warning you, don't you dare get in the way of my womanizing."

Meijia sneered, "So Young Master Lü knew we were putting on a show for everyone? Making phone calls and flirting with girls in the suite in broad daylight? I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt soda!"

"Lu Ziqiao, are you having a nervous breakdown or has your brain actually gotten full of salt water?"

"What do you know?" Ziqiao said with an air of shrewdness. "Curry Sauce is at work, and Guangu is out in a meeting with his Japanese boss. It's just you and me in the suite right now."

"That's hilarious. It's like you're talking as if those four people from 3601 don't know us. Even if Sister Yifei and Zhanbo are both working now, do you think Teacher Zeng won't come over for a stroll after his night shift, or are you afraid that Wanyu, who doesn't have a job, won't come over to visit us?"

"Lu Ziqiao, I don't need to remind you, you're still under Sister Yifei's scumbag surveillance period, right?"

Meijia glanced at Ziqiao's lower body: "Sister Yifei told me that if you dare to cause any trouble, she'll break all three of your legs this time."

Ziqiao felt a chill: "That crazy woman Hu Yifei always likes to solve problems with violence."

"Great, I'll pass on the message to Sister Yifei." Meijia laughed gleefully.

"No way, Miss, you need to get this straight, we're all in this together."

"Who's on your side?" Meijia pushed away Ziqiao who was getting close, her expression businesslike. "Cooperation is cooperation, and friendship is friendship. Besides, we don't seem to have any real relationship other than our fake couple partnership."

Meijia said resentfully, "If we're really talking about our past relationship, I should have done the deed to you!"

"Well……"

Zi Qiao remained silent, even he himself thought that if Mei Jia really skinned him alive, he would deserve it.

Meijia, who wanted to tear Lu Ziqiao to pieces, ended up just throwing the rag in her hand at Ziqiao: "Also, even putting aside all these messy relationships, Lu Ziqiao, you're a terrible roommate."

As she pointed to every corner of the apartment, she began to berate Ziqiao: "You know, we've been living in this apartment for three months now, how many times have you done any housework?"

"Have you ever cleared the table while we eat? Have you ever emptied the trash can? Have you ever swept or mopped the floor when it's dirty?"

"If no one pressures you, you young master won't even flush the toilet!"

Meijia looked at Ziqiao with disgust, as if she were looking at a toilet that hadn't been flushed: "From today onwards, if you dare to run away and disappear again when it's your turn to clean, I'll wipe out all those flowers, grass, foxes, and nightingales outside of you."

"Who isn't a seasoned veteran of the underworld? None of those tender, young girls out there could withstand a single move from me!"

Ziqiao was very dissatisfied: "Guan Gu hasn't done a single chore in the past three months, and you've taken care of it all, so why haven't I seen you say anything to him?"

He wasn't upset that Meijia had insulted him; he was just upset about Meijia's double standards.

"Nonsense, I'm Guan Gu's personal assistant. What's wrong with me doing chores for people who pay me? If you're willing to pay me, I'll not only clean the suite, but I'll also wash all your dirty clothes and socks for you."

Meijia held out her hand to Ziqiao: "A fair price, 1200 a month. It's definitely great value for money, excellent quality at a low price. Young Master Lü, you have money to chase girls, surely you can afford a maid?"

Ziqiao said smugly, "What a joke, when I'm picking up girls, it's always the girls who pay the most."

Meijia gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing, you're shameless."

She immediately lost interest in arguing with Lu Ziqiao: "Since you don't have the money, then you should take some responsibility and clean up the table first."

Meijia stopped paying attention to Ziqiao and turned to open the newly arrived package.

"What did you buy?" Ziqiao picked up the receipt from the side.

"Candles, red wine, record player... Well, you accuse me of flirting in the living room, but then you turn around and start a love trap at home!"

"If I knew any kind of bewitching magic, I'd bewitch you the moment you appeared, so you wouldn't keep making stupid mistakes in front of me." Meijia said with a look of disdain. "With a brain like yours, being bewitched would be a bonus for your IQ."

"So what are you trying to achieve by pulling this stunt?"

"It wasn't me, I bought it for Yifei."

"Yifei, has she finally unleashed her beastly nature and begun a naked invasion? Who is her target? Xiaoxian, Guangu, or Nanfeng?"

"No, it's not that. A couple of days ago, Guan Gu himself said he wanted to be in a relationship. Yi Fei thought Guan Gu was a nice person, so she wanted to set him up with her best friend."

"Sister Yifei talked on the phone for two whole nights, begging and pleading with that beautiful lady before she finally agreed to give it a try. But today is Monday and she doesn't have time to set up, so she had to ask me to help her with the setup."

"Set up the scene? Just a candlelight dinner, please." Ziqiao's demeanor changed completely once he entered his area of ​​expertise. He said imperiously, "She also set up a candlelight dinner for Zhanbo and Wanyu last time, and the effect was awful. Why hasn't she learned her lesson? Doesn't she have any other tricks up her sleeve?"

Meijia looked unsurprised: "Is it possible that this is the only trick she knows? If Yifei were really as good at dating as she claims, she wouldn't still be single."

"That makes sense." Ziqiao nodded in agreement. "So you guys didn't think of any other tricks? Don't blame me for being pessimistic, although I don't know what kind of situation Yifei's best friend is, I know Guangu very well."

"Giving him this candlelight dinner will only affect his performance."

"So this time we've prepared a secret weapon, which is very powerful and absolutely reliable."

"Oh?" Ziqiao sat down next to Meijia. "What secret weapon?"

Meijia pulled a bottle of colorless liquid from her bag: "Look."

Ziqiao picked up the bottle of unidentified liquid. The dense English writing on it gave him a headache just looking at it. He could only make up an excuse, "Could this be... the legendary 'sleeping tea'? You guys aren't planning to force things on us, are you?"

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. This is an incense imported from India called 'Love at First Sight,'" Meijia repeated, mimicking Yifei's earlier explanation. "It's made from a flower from southern India called... what's it called again?"

Well, it's obvious that Mika can't remember such a long passage.

So she could only vaguely say, "In short, all you need to know is that this aromatherapy can promote hormone secretion, making people unconsciously develop feelings for each other, making it like Aladdin's lamp for young men and women dating."

"That amazing?" Ziqiao said dismissively. "If you could really get things done with just a bottle of aromatherapy these days, a scumbag like me would have no girls left to date."

"I didn't realize you actually knew you were a scumbag?"

"I decided to be a scumbag to the end because I know I'm a scumbag." Ziqiao stood up. "Alright, so your scumbag brother Ziqiao is going to hunt for new prey. He finally found a chance to chat up a beautiful woman under Yifei's watchful eye, but you ruined it."

"No way, I have to find a beautiful girl to date tonight, otherwise I'll just have to go back to my apartment and watch Guan Gu date. Just thinking about it makes me feel awful."

Meijia was still checking the decorations for tonight: "Whatever you want, but I'm warning you, if you get caught flirting with girls, you'll have to suffer the consequences yourself, no matter what happens. Even if Yifei breaks your leg, you're not allowed to reveal that we're actually just pretending to be a couple."

"Hey, it can't be that bad, you're basically watching me die."

"What does your death have to do with me? At worst, I'll burn more paper money for you next year on this day. Anyway, you're not allowed to say a word about us being a fake couple, or Yifei will either break your legs or I'll castrate you in the middle of the night to rid the world of this scourge!"

Zi Qiao could only casually reply, "Okay, okay, I promise you, alright? If we get caught, it'll be me, Lü Zi Qiao, who's unfaithful, and you, Chen Mei Jia, who's pure and innocent, okay?"

He turned to leave, but heard Meijia's extremely calm and indifferent voice behind him: "If you feel that this is interfering with your dating life, we can find an opportunity to stage a breakup in front of them another day, and then you'll be free."

"Chen Meijia, are you crazy? You're giving up half the rent and all the utilities?"

"No, you don't need it anymore. If you want, you can find someone else to pretend to be your partner later." Meijia looked down and rummaged through the bag, but she couldn't find anything.

Ziqiao looked at Meijia with some confusion, but could only see Meijia's head buried deep in the paper bag.

"But if you actually find someone willing to play a fake couple with you, please move to another floor of the apartment. After all, this suite is already too small for you and your actress girlfriend... unless you share a room."

Zi Qiao moved her lips, her two lips moving up and down like two dried-up fish.

Why?

"I'm tired. I don't want to wander the world anymore."

Great, failed to secure a contract after 100,000 words. This book is ruined. Consider it a labor of love. Sigh.
