Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 94 Ziqiao's desperate counterattack ends in another crushing defeat.

"Ouch..." Ziqiao grimaced, clutching his forehead. "Dude, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Hey, Ziqiao..." Zhang Wei started to say, then quickly corrected himself, "Dude, what's your name again?"

"Lu Zhanbo".

"Oh, Zhanbo..." Zhang Wei stood up and apologized apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Brother Zhanbo. I don't have a very good sense of direction. I just went around in circles and thought I had arrived at a new place."

"Besides, you and Ziqiao look exactly alike, I really can't tell them apart."

"Hehe." Ziqiao said with a forced smile, "So, have you realized it now?"

Zhang Wei examined him closely, becoming increasingly uncertain: "To be honest, I still don't believe you're not Ziqiao."

Before Ziqiao could even speak, Zhang Wei blurted out, "Ziqiao, you're not pretending not to know me because you don't want to pay me back, are you?"

As Zhang Wei spoke, he gave Zi Qiao another flick on the forehead: "Let me tell you, Zi Qiao, this isn't fun."

"It's just eight hundred yuan, I'm not in a hurry to pay you back."

"We've been classmates for so many years. I've been your wingman since you were chasing girls in elementary school. I even helped you cheat on exams by passing you notes."

"You can't abandon your brother over just because of eight hundred dollars."

Ziqiao had been wondering if this guy was sent by some enemy to mess with him, but after Zhang Wei said that, he was really stunned.

Do you owe someone money and not pay it back?

[Nonsense, I earned my debt through my own abilities, why should I pay it back?]

Did I chase girls when I was in elementary school?

[Didn't we all start using lollipops to trick little girls from kindergarten onwards?]

Did you cheat when you were in elementary school?

[Me, Lü Ziqiao, it would be strange if I didn't cheat.]

Thinking about it this way, every single one of them really matches up. Could it be that this Zhang Wei... is really my elementary school classmate?

But why do I feel a strange sense of familiarity right now?

Oh... I remember now.

[Talking to boys about cheating and the school beauty, gossiping about love rivals with girls. This kind of stuff happens all over the country during elementary and middle school.]

【I use the same trick when I lie to people!!!】

Ziqiao was so angry he gritted his teeth. It was one thing to use such a trick to fool others, but to try to fool himself?

Who on earth dared to try and scam me?!

His first thought was of the four major sects that he had a grudge against, and his second thought was of the petty-minded Nanfeng.

But when Ziqiao thought about it more carefully, he sadly realized that he couldn't afford to offend any of the four major sects or Nanfeng.

[Damn, isn't this bullying honest people?!]

Ziqiao inwardly groaned, but seeing the increasingly hostile gazes of the two pretty girls opposite him, he realized that this scheme was less of a deception and more of a blatant conspiracy.

Whether I was deceived or not is not important; it's enough that Yao Yao and Qian Qian on the other side believed me.

No matter how smart you are, if they believe you, you're doomed!

That turtle bastard who came up with this trick is really cunning!

Ziqiao gritted his teeth in anger, but no matter how annoyed he was, his priority was to appease the two beautiful girls.

And no matter who came up with this idea, they underestimated me, Lü Ziqiao.

It's just lying, anyone can do that!

Ziqiao's CPU started overclocking, and almost instantly he had come up with a solution.

Zi Qiao pretended to be honest and said, "Dude, I'm really not the Zi Qiao you're talking about. Besides, there are no two people in this world who look exactly alike, unless..."

Ziqiao's expression changed as he spoke: "Could it be...?"

"No, that's impossible."

Yao Yao and Qian Qian had originally planned to observe the situation calmly, but seeing the incredulous look on Zi Qiao's face, they softened and asked, "Impossible what?"

"Actually, I also have a twin brother." Ziqiao covered his face in pain and choked up. "My father told me that he and my mother got divorced shortly after we were born because of their incompatibility."

"After the divorce, my mother left with my brother, and she hasn't been gone for more than 20 years."

"More than twenty years! More than twenty years! I have never even seen my biological mother's face in my memory, let alone my twin brother."

"I always thought it was just a legend, but I never imagined it would actually be true..."

Ziqiao lowered his hands from his face, his eyes red and filled with tears.

Yao Yao and Qian Qian looked at each other, momentarily filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Reason told them that there was no such thing as a coincidence in this world, but seeing Ziqiao's tears that he couldn't hold back no matter what, they were no longer sure.

If this was acted out, then the acting skills are amazing.

"Yaoyao, Qianqian, I'm sorry. I only told you that my family is a blended family, and I didn't tell you anything else. But I really didn't expect to get information about my brother today."

Upon hearing Ziqiao's words, the two people, who were already biased towards Ziqiao, began frantically trying to make amends for him.

[Yes, they already said they were from a blended family. Zhanbo couldn't have guessed beforehand that someone was going to cause him trouble.]

As the saying goes, once the perpetrators start, the victims will automatically start deceiving themselves.

Ziqiao noticed that the two beautiful girls' gazes softened visibly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

[Luckily, I was careful today. I realized that I couldn't use the alternate account "Lu Xiaobu" until the rumors died down, so I temporarily used Zhanbo's template.]

[I never expected Zhanbo's templates to be so useful; they're versatile enough to be both offensive and defensive.]

Zhanbo, you're truly my lucky star!

Ziqiao was extremely pleased with himself and didn't even care about the pain on his forehead from the several sharp taps Zhang Wei had given him.

But as pleased with himself as he was, the show had to go on. So, Ziqiao excitedly pulled Zhang Wei aside and asked anxiously, "Ziqiao, so he's changed his name to Ziqiao now?"

"Please, please tell me where he is, what he does, and what the situation is!"

[In his inner world, Ziqiao watched Zhang Wei stand arrogantly with his hands on his hips, laughing loudly.]

Say it! Just say it! Say whatever you want!

You can expose all my secrets however you want!

You're talking about the scumbag Lu Ziqiao, what does that have to do with my perfect man Lu Zhanbo?

The worse you portray Lu Ziqiao, the more I'll cry, and I'll definitely boost the two pretty girls' favorability.

Tonight, I'll pretend to be drunk and call either of those two, asking for comfort and asking her to come pick me up.

[And then, it was a 24-hour speedrun straight to home base!]

【No, we're celebrating with Teacher Zeng tonight, let's wait until tomorrow night.】

My illness should be cured by tomorrow, then I'll show you what true invulnerability is!

【Hahahahaha...】

Ziqiao was secretly pleased with himself, while Zhang Wei was now in a bind.

The director didn't tell me how to act in this situation.

Zhang Wei was now in a dilemma. He was just an actor, and the reason he could act like this was because he hated scumbags and his acting skills were superb.

He was fine as an actor, but when the other actor changed the script at the last minute, Zhang Wei's little brain went blank.

Ziqiao finally saw the confusion in Zhang Wei's eyes, and he felt a surge of secret pleasure.

"Brother Zhang Wei, please tell me some news about Zi Qiao."

"No matter how he's doing now, whether he's a good person or a bad person, I really want to see him."

Zhang Weiqian laughed and said, "Well, you might be disappointed. Ziqiao is a piece of trash, a bastard even worse than a bastard."

"Not only did he harass respectable women, but he also deceived naive young men, thus making enemies one after another."

"If I hadn't known him since childhood, I would have broken off all ties with her. If you actually met him, you'd probably get hunted down by others."

Wow, buddy, that was a really harsh insult.

[Although the insult wasn't entirely wrong.]

Yao Yao and Qian Qian were startled when they heard this.

Qianqian quickly dissuaded him, "Zhanbo, it sounds like your twin brother is a scumbag. Maybe you shouldn't see him."

Yao Yao also scolded, "That's right, Zhanbo. Even his friends say he speaks so rudely. This Zi Qiao must be a hypocrite, a scoundrel."

"Anyway, you haven't seen each other for over twenty years and there's no real brotherly affection between you. Even if you acknowledge him as your older brother, he might not be willing to acknowledge you as his younger brother."

"It's best if neither of you acknowledges the other; what if he starts bothering you?"

Ziqiao's forehead veins throbbed from the scolding, yet he still had to feign understanding and gratitude towards the two beautiful young women.

"Yaoyao, Qianqian, I know you mean well."

"But after all, he is my twin brother, my full brother from the same father and mother!"

"Now that I have a clear opportunity to see him, how can I turn a blind eye?"

"If I really did that, then I wouldn't be Lu Zhanbo."

"Whether he is good or bad, a scumbag or a degenerate, I am willing to help him and make up for his mistakes."

"Because he's my older brother!"

When Ziqiao got emotional, he burst into tears, which made Yaoyao and Qianqian feel very sorry for him.

It's safe to say he really went all out to win over the two beauties.

"Zhanbo..." Yao Yao and Qian Qian stared at Zi Qiao, their hearts almost melting.

Yao Yao and Qian Qian are, in the end, just naive and ignorant female college students. Although they know some of the dangers of society, they ultimately do not understand just how dangerous society is.

At least for Yao Yao and Qian Qian, they are still in the stage of dreaming.

Even though they kept telling Ziqiao not to meet his twin brother, they secretly fantasized about the brothers recognizing each other and the brother reforming himself under the influence of his twin brother, leading to a happy ending for the whole family.

Not to mention, in their eyes, Zi Qiao's image became increasingly lofty and imposing. Such a gentle, kind, sentimental, and responsible man was truly hard to find even with a lantern.

Yao Yao looked at Zhang Wei: "Brother Zhang Wei, since Zhanbo wants to know, just tell him."

Seeing that the two women and the man were all staring at him, Zhang Wei suddenly felt his mind go blank.

[Can anyone teach me how to phrase this situation?!]

Not knowing how to continue acting, Zhang Wei could only stumble and stammer as he followed his instincts and uttered a single sentence.

"Since you're so eager to see your twin brother and make amends for his mistake, could you at least pay me back the eight hundred dollars he owes me?"

Ziqiao's expression suddenly froze.

【How much?】

Eight hundred yuan!

Here it comes!

I really can't believe 2023 is almost over.

Pigeon briefly reviewed the year, and the three happiest things were: one was that she mustered up the courage to attend the retirement party and birthday celebration of her most beloved junior high school homeroom teacher, regardless of how she was doing or whether she would run into her ex-girlfriend.

The second thing was that I finally used my own money to buy my mother a birthday cake and a gift.

The third thing is that this year I finally did what I love most: writing what I love, and met a group of readers who are willing to read my books and support me.

With these three things in mind, the author has finally emerged from the shadow of being unfairly graded in the postgraduate entrance exam. Even if all the efforts of last year were in vain, at least this year was not wasted.

I also hope that when everyone looks back on this year, they can find their own highlights and every memorable moment, just like the pigeon. Then this year will not have been wasted.

After all, people live for these beautiful moments.

I am extremely grateful for everyone's support and companionship. I'll say it three times because it's important, haha.

Your friend, Sweet Potato Pigeon, is extremely grateful.

Pigeon will try her best to make this book more interesting, and the story more humorous and heartwarming. If, long after this book is finished, people still remember that there was a well-written book about Love Apartment, Pigeon will be very satisfied.

I hope to celebrate the New Year with everyone here again next year.

Wishing everyone a fulfilling year and all the best.

Your friend, Sweet Potato Pigeon.
