Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Page 162

Zeng Xiaoxian subtly looked away from Su Mingyang and explained, "At the time, I only had Mingyang Wanyu and Ziqiao with me. Mingyang Wanyu is a couple, so how could I do something to them? I had no choice but to ask Ziqiao to do it."

The subtext of these words is that he had given them considerable thought at the time, and that they were not influenced by anyone, much less subconscious.

...Su Mingyang gave Zeng Xiaoxian a wink, suppressing a laugh but not exposing him; there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"So that's how it is."

Guan Gu Shenqi nodded.

Not getting the answer she expected, Chen Meijia was somewhat disappointed.

"See, Mika, your subconscious theory back then doesn't hold water at all."

Lin Wanyu smiled and said, "From this perspective, Teacher Zeng seems to be alright."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyebrows twitched.

Su Mingyang was amused and retorted, "Wanyu, what do you mean by 'still normal'? Isn't there something abnormal about it?"

"No, I didn't say that. Mingyang, please don't misunderstand me."

Lin Wanyu said reproachfully.

"Haha, that's what happens when you speak so carelessly."

Su Mingyang smiled.

Lin Wanyu pursed her lips and gave him a cute eye roll.

Hu Yifei didn't respond, but asked the silent Lü Ziqiao curiously, "Ziqiao, Zeng Xiaoxian has already apologized. What do you think?"

"Forget it, I've long forgotten about it. Let bygones be bygones."

Lu Ziqiao waved his hand casually.

Hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

"I never would have guessed, Ziqiao, that you're so open-minded."

Hu Yifei joked.

"I've always been this open-minded, okay?"

Lu Ziqiao said smugly.

"Sister Yifei, don't overpraise him."

Chen Meijia quipped, "That's not called being open-minded, that's called being heartless."

"Meijia, have you no shame? Put your hand on your heart and think about it. Among us, who can compare to you in terms of being heartless?"

Lu Ziqiao sneered.

"Of course it's you!" Chen Meijia exclaimed angrily, throwing a cushion at Lü Ziqiao.

"Alright, don't be angry."

Zeng Xiaoxian intervened, then turned to Lu Ziqiao and said, "Ziqiao, thank you for your forgiveness."

"It's alright, Teacher Zeng, you can lend me more money in the future."

Lu Ziqiao blurted out his true feelings, and facing the surprised looks of everyone, he coughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "But Teacher Zeng 087, you're so unfair, disappearing for so long!"

He didn't say the second half of his sentence aloud—it cost him an extra two or three thousand in rent! "It's just... a month after you left, Teacher Zeng, we found clues about you and thought you had returned. We spent a lot of time analyzing and searching, but ended up wasting half a day."

Lu Zhanbo chimed in with a complaint, saying that he had put in the most effort when he asked Zeng Xiaoxian last time, only to have it all come to nothing.

"Really? Okay, my bad. I've caused everyone trouble. I'll punish myself with a drink."

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed, ordered a bottle of vodka, and filled his glass to the brim.

One cup isn't enough, at least five cups.

Hu Yifei held up five fingers.

"I think we should drink ten cups."

Guan Gu's miraculous narrow passage.

"Let's just drink three bottles."

Lu Ziqiao laughed.

"To show your sincerity, Teacher Zeng, I think we should drink a dozen."

Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow and said.

"I think we should drink ten dozen!"

Lin Wanyu joined in the fun.

""

"You're trying to kill me!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was both amused and exasperated, and felt an urge to vomit blood.

"Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter."

The laughter was hearty, just like always.

Chapter 189 Can I carry you downstairs?

Zeng Xiaoxian became dizzy and unsteady on his feet after only two or three drinks.

Everyone teased him about his extremely low alcohol tolerance.

This made Zeng Xiaoxian, who was half-drunk and half-awake, very embarrassed. In a moment of... intoxication, he boasted that he could drink another bottle of baijiu and grabbed the waiter, slurring his words.

The crowd wouldn't let him show off like that, and they quickly stopped his suicidal behavior.

Zeng Xiaoxian refused to "commit the crime".

He was so energetic, he insisted on drinking.

Su Mingyang couldn't stop him; he was thinking of knocking the guy unconscious with a chop to the neck.

Suddenly, Hu Yifei made her move—no, wait, I should say she made her move—and unleashed a "Lion's Roar."

"Zeng Xiaoxian, if you keep acting up, believe me, I'll turn you into a eunuch!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was immediately suppressed and behaved himself like a primary school student.

Su Mingyang, Lin Wanyu, and the others thought to themselves, "666! This female demon is just... different."

Once he regained his senses, Zeng Xiaoxian was extremely embarrassed, unsure whether to stand or sit.

At this moment, Su Mingyang spoke up, telling Zeng Xiaoxian to hurry back and move, which eased the awkward situation.

Zeng Xiaoshu gave Su Mingyang a grateful look, said goodbye, and then left.

Guan Gu Shenqi and Lu Zhanbo wanted to visit Zeng Xiaoxian's apartment and help him out, so they naturally went along as well.

The two had no idea what awaited them ahead.

Lu Ziqiao said goodbye and left to continue his womanizing spree.

Su Mingyang, Lin Wanyu, Hu Yifei, and Chen Meijia returned to Love Apartment.

3. Living room.

The three women surrounded Su Mingyang, refusing to let him off the hook.

Don't get me wrong, they're not... doing anything inappropriate for children.

Instead, they were discussing issues related to the novel "Zhu Xian Sword".

"Mingyang, did Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi end up together?"

"Mingyang, will you write a second part?"

Will Biyao be resurrected?

Who is Zhou Yixian?

For these questions, Su Mingyang would answer if he could, and if he couldn't, he could only make excuses.

What do you think?

"Won't."

"Guess."

"You can take another look, or maybe you'll find something."

""

The three women were so annoyed by his perfunctory answer that they felt an urge to pin him down on the sofa and give him a good beating.

Just then, a loud banging sound came from next door, leaving the four people puzzled.

Lu Zhanbo and Guan Gu Shenqi, like dogs that had been baking in the July sun all day, dragged their tired bodies and huffed and puffed as they trudged in.

"I'm exhausted."

Lu Zhanbo let out a wail and slumped weakly into the sofa. He poured two glasses of water and gave one to Guan Gu Shenqi.

"I feel like my back is going to break."
