Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

When he mentioned the words "fire extinguishers," he deliberately emphasized the words very much.

Su Mingyang chuckled upon hearing this. This guy had crafted a good story; he was trying to trick Guan Gu into buying his fire extinguisher.

Unfortunately, Guan Gu Shenqi didn't understand Zeng Xiaoxian's meaning and asked with some doubt, "Teacher Zeng, why did you burn down your own house instead of the author's house? If it were me, I would burn down the author's house."

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I wish I could burn down the author's house, but I don't know where he lives."

"So that's how it is." Guan Gu Shenqi nodded.

He hummed in response and then fell silent.

Su Mingyang couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Zeng, how many of these fire extinguishers have you sold?"

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Four bottles~, Mingyang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Mingyang interrupted, "This is a good result - keep up the good work!"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked constipated and nodded helplessly.

Lin Wanyu smiled, knowing that Zeng Xiaoxian was worried about the sales of the fire-extinguishing and crying products, and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, did you know that today is Meijia's birthday?"

"Meijia's birthday?" Guan Gu Shenqi and Zeng Xiaoxian exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Ziqiao also gave Meijia a coat as a birthday present," Lin Wanyu added.

This news surprised the two even more: "No way?"

"This is too strange. Ziqiao actually prepared a gift for Meijia. If I remember correctly, he didn't even remember Meijia's birthday last Valentine's Day," Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed.

"Yeah, last time he saw a birthday cake and thought it was my birthday," Guan Gu Shenqi said, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Did Ziqiao get hit in the head with a brick this time?"

“How could that be?” Lin Wanyu laughed. “I think he has turned over a new leaf this time. It’s not what you think. If you don’t believe me, ask Mingyang. Ziqiao’s expression was so affectionate when he gave Meijia the gift.”

As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Mingyang: "Mingyang, don't you think so?"

“Yes, Wanyu is right,” Su Mingyang said, suppressing a laugh.

Hearing Su Mingyang's affirmation, Zeng Xiaoxian believed it: "Ziqiao can do it this time. It seems I need to look at him in a new light."

“Me too,” Guan Gu Shenqi chimed in, then continued, “Since today is Meijia’s birthday, shouldn’t we prepare something to celebrate for her?”

"That's for sure," Su Mingyang agreed. "How about this, we'll prepare a birthday cake for her, and then chip in to buy her a birthday present, what do you think?"

“That’s great, I agree,” Lin Wanyu immediately agreed.

Zeng Xiaoxian and Guan Gu Shenqi had no objections.

"What gift should we give her?" Guan Gu Shenqi asked.

Su Mingyang said, "Think about it. The gift doesn't need to be too expensive. A few hundred or a thousand yuan will be fine."

"Hmm." The four of them started thinking together.

After a moment, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up and he had an idea: "I've got an idea of ​​what to give him."

"What should we give?" Su Mingyang, Lin Wanyu, and Guan Gu Shenqi all looked at him.

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled mysteriously, then placed the fire extinguisher he had brought on the bar and raised an eyebrow at everyone.

Lin Wanyu immediately realized what was going on and said, somewhat speechless, "Teacher Zeng, you don't mean to send a fire extinguisher, do you?"

"Haha, not bad, Wanyu, you guessed right, it is a fire extinguisher." Zeng Xiaoxian said with a sly smile.

"Don't joke around, Teacher Zeng. Giving a fire extinguisher as a birthday gift, you really have a unique way of thinking," Su Mingyang teased.

"Yes."

Zeng Xiaoxian retorted, "I'm not joking. I think giving fire extinguishers is a good idea. It expresses our good wishes and is also very practical. Of course, if you think one isn't enough, you can give a few more."

"Heh." The three of them looked at him expressionlessly, as if they were looking at an idiot.

This guy's obsessed with selling fire extinguishers!

Zeng Xiaoxian felt a little embarrassed by their gazes: "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

The four continued to think.

A moment later, Guan Gu Shenqi had an idea: "I've decided what to give."

"What should we send? Let's hope it's not something as unreliable as Teacher Zeng!" Su Mingyang joked.

Zeng Xiaoxian's face twitched slightly.

Lin Wanyu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Of course not," Guan Gu Shenqi said confidently. "It's like this, Meijia's alarm clock has been broken recently, and she's been oversleeping for several days in a row. We'd like to buy her a new alarm clock to remind her to be on time. What do you think?"

Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up: "This is good, the meaning is quite nice."

Su Mingyang hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we should send someone else; this isn't a good idea."

“I think so too.” Zeng Xiaoxian nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wanyu asked, puzzled.

Guan Gu Shenqi also looked puzzled: "Do you think this gift is too cheap?"

“No.” Su Mingyang shook his head and explained, “In our country, giving a clock as a gift sounds like ‘attending to someone’s death,’ which is a kind of curse on the recipient. Although young people shouldn’t be superstitious, it’s hard not to make people think about it. So I think it’s better to choose a different gift.”

“That’s right.” Zeng Xiaoxian chimed in, playing the role of the straight man.

"So that's how it is. You're never too old to learn. Culture is truly profound and extensive." Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly realized.

"I didn't know that giving a clock had this meaning," Lin Wanyu said with a smile.

"Ah."

"So what gift should we give Meijia?" Guan Gu asked, puzzled.

Su Mingyang had an idea: "Let's just give Meijia her favorite thing."

His words reminded Lin Wanyu: "I know, Meijia loves dolls the most."

“That’s right, her room is filled with so many dolls that there’s not even room for them to stand,” Guan Gu Shenqi said.

"Then let's send this," Su Mingyang decided. "If Guan Gu and Teacher Zeng have time, could you please help order a cake? Wan Yu and I will tell Yi Fei and Zhan Bo that we'll also prepare some dolls. How does that sound?"

"no problem."

Zeng Xiaoxian and Guan Gu Shenqi immediately agreed.

The matter was settled amicably.

The four left the bar, each making their own preparations. (Nine.)

Chapter 302

Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu arrived at 3602.

Hu Yifei and Lu Zhanbo happened to be home.

He then mentioned that he wanted to celebrate Chen Meijia's birthday.

Hear the news.

Hu Yifei seemed very excited and insisted on going with her to buy a gift for Meijia.

Actually, they were just taking this opportunity to go shopping.

Lu Zhanbo, however, looked sullen and forced a smile.

Su Mingyang noticed this and immediately asked, "Zhanbo, what's wrong? You look so pale."

"Oh, nothing."

Lu Zhanbo's tone was very downcast.

The reason was that Lü Ziqiao had just told him.

The coat she bought was mistaken by Chen Meijia as a birthday gift for her.

Lu Ziqiao didn't dare to tell the truth.

Although the other party assured him that they would definitely buy him a new coat and that it wouldn't cause any delays.

However, he was unsure of himself and had little faith in Lu Ziqiao's abilities.

He can't believe how much he regrets it now.

I should never have been so greedy as to hand over the money to Lü Ziqiao.

Now he'll most likely have to confess.

Su Mingyang was unaware of the reason, after all, he had promised to lend Lu Ziqiao money if he couldn't solve the problem.

To avoid indirectly harming Lu Zhanbo.

Look at Lu Zhanbo's expression at this moment.

I thought he was worried about the Valentine's Day confession.

I offered him a few words of comfort to put his mind at ease.

So she went to the mall with Lin Wanyu and Hu Yifei.

When they returned with the gifts, Guan Gu Shenqi and Zeng Xiaoxian also brought back the birthday cake.
