Chapter 763 Trapped

Chapter 762 Trapped

3601, everyone is sitting at the dining table playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Well, calling it "Dou Dizhu" might not be quite accurate, since thanks to the joint efforts of Meijia, Guangu, and Youyou over the past year, "Love Apartment Dou Dizhu" has developed into more than a dozen different categories and rules.

Today they're playing the newly developed "True Love Poker" by Guan Gu and Youyou.

Ziqiao threw out a pair of threes and a pair of nines: "May it last forever (3399)."

Meijia glanced at it, then tossed out a pair of Aces, a three, and a four: "Forever and ever (1314), I'll be yours!"

Yu Mo didn't even look up, directly revealing a pair of threes and a pair of fours: "Life after life (three threes and four fours), take care of it."

"bomb!"

Zhang Wei slapped down four Qs, grinning wickedly, and said, "Watch me blow you love-struck fools to bits!"

Guan Gu rubbed his swollen eyes and corrected him, "Zhang Wei, your bomb can only kill couples who are destined for one lifetime at most. Even if a couple destined for countless lifetimes is killed once, it won't matter, because they still have a next life."

"Put it away, put it away."

"oh."

Zhang Wei silently put away the bomb.

Yu Mo blinked: "Is there anyone older than me? If not, I'm going to have to touch myself."

"have."

The south wind blew out four sheets of paper.

Zhang Wei raised his hand in protest: "Didn't we say that bombs are useless?"

Nanfeng explained calmly, "Zhang Wei, your bomb is useless, but mine isn't an ordinary bomb."

Zhang Wei was still puzzled: "These are just four 'ten' tiles, what's so special about them?"

"Zhang Wei, look carefully."

Nanfeng pointed to the cards he had played: "These aren't four tens, they're four [1s and 0s]!"

He said arrogantly, "The opposite sex is only for procreation, while true love is between people of the same sex. This is a super invincible true love bomb that can instantly kill everything."

"As heterosexuals, we should be prepared to face discrimination!"

"What?!?!"

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded: "That's fucking possible?!"

Nanfeng chuckled: "Of course, it's your fault for not remembering the rules of the game."

"Um—actually, Nanfeng, you yourself didn't remember the rules of the game clearly either."

Guan Gu, the referee, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and blinked his reddened eyes, saying, "The 'True Love Bomb' is a card that only female fans of BL (Boys' Love) can play. You're not female, so you can't use it."

"What?!?!"

This time it was Nanfeng's turn to be dumbfounded: "This is fucking possible?!"

Guan Gu nodded silently, while gently rubbing his eyeballs with his hands.

Nanfeng feigned annoyance and pressed on, "But how could you presume my gender?"

"Let me tell you, your behavior is unopen, unprogressive, and disrespectful of my gender freedom!"

Wan Yu blinked and chuckled, "Even America is almost down to two genders now, and Nan Feng is still shouting about gender freedom. That's such an old joke."

"I think it's you who's not open-minded and not progressive."

Curry Sauce was quite accommodating to Nanfeng, giving her a thumbs-up and saying, "Who says this joke is old? This joke is fantastic!"

"Tch, my jokes are pretty old, but yours are so new and out of touch with the times."

Nanfeng pursed his lips and muttered as he took back his cards.

Yu Mo asked again, "Is there anyone with a higher hand than me?"

"I'll do it."

As she spoke, Youyou also set up a one-on-three and a one-on-four situation.

Yu Mo was a little confused: "Why is your 'lifetimes' (3344) older than mine?"

Youyou switched the positions of the three and four: "This isn't three-three-four-four, it's four-four-three-three."

"and then?"

"4433 means 'lifetimes of being a mistress,' which means being a mistress for generations."

Youyou looked up at the sky, slapped the table, and sighed sadly, "No matter how many lifetimes you have, true love is invincible, it's just a pity that you are destined to be apart."

"I return the pearl with tears streaming down my face, regretting that we didn't meet before I was married."

Yu Mo: (————)

She smirked and said, "What a toxic hand!"

Youyou's expression changed in the blink of an eye, and she grinned broadly, saying, "You're too kind."

Seeing that no one had a higher hand than 【世世三三】, Youyou decisively drew the winning tile herself and then continued to play.

The group played cards and chatted casually.

Zhanbo looked at Guangu, whose eyes were red, and asked with concern, "Guangu, do you really not need to go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"Need not."

Guan Gu rubbed his eyes and said, "My eyes were just irritated by the smoke, it'll be fine in a bit."

Zhanbo muttered, "But I've seen you rubbing your eyes for a long time. Isn't the smoke from that burning wreath a bit too toxic?"

"The smoke from burning the wreaths is only part of the reason. The main reason is that Guan Gu's eyesight is already bad, and now he keeps rubbing his eyes with his dirty hands, which of course makes it more and more uncomfortable."

Youyou said, slapping Guangu's hand hard: "Didn't I tell you not to rub your eyes? If your eyes really hurt, wash them with eye drops and then close your eyes and rest for a while."

Guan Gu blinked repeatedly, then chuckled, "I just wanted to watch you guys play cards."

"Honestly, you never listen to me!"

Seeing this, Youyou reluctantly got up and handed the cards to Zhanbo, who was watching from the side: "Zhanbo, you play for me for a while, I'll go and see if there's any eye wash or eye drops at home."

"If Guan Gu keeps rubbing his eyes like this, they're bound to get ruined."

Nanfeng looked up at Youyou: "Youyou, you can go to my suite to get it. The first-aid kit in the living room should have it."

"it is good."

Youyou got up and left 3601. While playing cards, Meijia casually asked Guangu, "By the way, Guangu, when you were burning wreaths in the neighborhood, the smoke was so strong, didn't anyone stop you?"

"No."

Guan Gu lowered his head, wiped his glasses, and put them back on: "I was crying the whole time and couldn't see clearly, but I could hear footsteps coming and going around me."

"It's probably because I deliberately chose a spacious place to burn it, so there was no chance of a fire. Although everyone was choking on the smoke and kept sighing, no one came up to stop me."

"oh."

Meijia smiled sweetly upon hearing this: "That could also be because you're popular, Guan Gu."

"Yeah?"

Guan Gu grinned widely.

"Oh, right."

Wanyu suddenly asked, "You guys said Teacher Zeng and Feifei have been out for half a day. Is there any progress in their relationship?"

Yu Mo shrugged: "Who can say for sure? After all, everyone knows what kind of personality Teacher Zeng has."

Even though she was a huge fan of the Xianfei CP, she felt helpless about Teacher Zeng's indecisive and fearful nature.

Nanfeng shrugged dismissively: "No matter what, we should always create more opportunities for Teacher Zeng."

"If we're hoping that Teacher Zeng will suddenly have an epiphany and make a move on Yifei, we'll probably have to wait until 2025."

When Zhanbo thought of his older sister, he subconsciously shrank back: "But I think the most important person isn't Teacher Zeng, it's my older sister."

"As you all know, my older sister is a completely different person when she's looking for a partner and when she's not."

"The former is the stunningly beautiful and universally adored Yu Ji, while the latter is none other than the mighty and invincible Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu!"

He muttered under his breath, "And I don't know why you all think my sister must have feelings for Teacher Zeng. If she doesn't have those feelings for Teacher Zeng, then Teacher Zeng's advances are just like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man."

Zhanbo paused, then muttered to himself, "And it's a bear!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

Honestly, apart from Zhanbo who couldn't see it or didn't dare to think in that direction, everyone else could see that Yifei was a hypocrite.

Don't be fooled by her constant complaints about Teacher Zeng, saying he's no good at this or that. The two of them are almost always sitting together, very close to each other. This is hardly the attitude of disliking or hating someone.

Even if we don't say how much Yifei likes Teacher Zeng, she must have feelings for him, otherwise how could Teacher Zeng, who was drunk, have gotten close to Yifei?

If it weren't for the certainty that they both had feelings for each other, why would everyone be so eager to match them up?

Do you really think everyone has nothing better to do than gather in apartments every day to have fun?

Meijia, with a wild imagination, asked, "What do you think would happen if Teacher Zeng suddenly had a burst of energy today and confessed to Yifei?"

"Well—"

Everyone fell into thought upon hearing this.

Even though everyone was looking forward to this happening, they hadn't really thought about how things would develop.

After all, Teacher Zeng is too cowardly; the probability of him suddenly having a burst of energy today is even lower than if an accident suddenly occurred at an amusement park.

Curry Sauce bent slightly, munching on potato chips, and said first, "I don't think even if Teacher Zeng launches an attack, Sister Yifei might not be able to win."

Mika asked, "Why?"

"Because Sister Yifei dislikes Teacher Zeng, or more accurately, she feels that she dislikes Teacher Zeng."

Curry Sauce took another sip of her drink before continuing, "It takes time to go from feeling disgusted by someone to understanding your own heart."

"Not to mention that Sister Yifei is both strong-willed and concerned about her image, so she definitely won't easily admit that she likes Teacher Zeng."

"That makes sense."

Zhang Wei agreed, saying, "Yifei always says that her boyfriend has to be either smarter or stronger than her, but Teacher Zeng clearly doesn't meet either of those criteria."

"So, if Teacher Zeng were to confess his feelings to her, Yifei's first reaction might not actually be to accept him?"

As Zhang Wei spoke, he turned to look at Curry Sauce, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration: "Curry Sauce, how did you come up with this?"

"Watching TV dramas."

Curry Sauce explained matter-of-factly, "That's how it is in TV dramas where the bickering couples are. The first confession from the male or female lead only makes the other person understand their feelings. They only get together after the other person understands and confesses a second time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei weakly retorted, "The reason the TV series is filmed this way is probably because two confessions can fill up a lot of screen time."

"

"But what Curry Sauce said does make a lot of sense."

Yu Mo became even more worried after hearing Curry Sauce's words, feeling that her best friend's path to love was truly long and arduous.

"I originally thought that if Teacher Zeng could suddenly confess his feelings, the story would just end there."

"So now it's not enough for him to just unleash his full potential; we also need to consider whether Yifei can truly understand her own heart?"

Ziqiao frowned: "No, is it really that complicated?"

"You love me, I love you, we're happy and sweet together, isn't that enough?"

"From what you're saying, it seems like Teacher Zeng had to confess his feelings twice?"

He scoffed, "How could Teacher Zeng possibly have two bursts of power?"

Although Zi Qiao has dated countless women, his pursuit of women has always been superficial. He has never cared about the spirit and soul of his past girlfriends, let alone someone like Yi Fei who was never within his hunting range in the first place.

Ziqiao simply couldn't understand why confirming a relationship was so difficult.

What about first base, second base, third base, and home plate?

Oh, they're pursuing pure love.

That's fine.

"That's why I asked Teacher Zeng to try to give Yifei a hint."

Nanfeng continued Ziqiao's words, saying, "No matter what, we have to make Yifei feel that Teacher Zeng is thinking of pushing their relationship towards that of lovers before she will put Teacher Zeng into the 'lovers' preparatory zone."

Zhanbo asked blankly, "So, in which area does Teacher Zeng belong in my sister's heart now?"

"【Bastard】Area"

Everyone answered in unison.

【Wait until I tear open this mortal realm of dawn and dusk, and a three-foot-long beam of azure light will roll and wash away the dust and smoke~】

Just then, Nanfeng's cell phone rang.

He took out his phone and looked at it, then raised an eyebrow: "Speak of the devil, and he appears. Teacher Zeng is calling again."

"

Guan Gu touched his twitching eyelids: "I have a bad feeling."

Everyone nodded in unison: "Mine too."

Nanfeng answered the phone: "Hello, Teacher Zeng."

"What?"

The next moment, his pupils dilated in shock, and he abruptly stood up: "You and Yifei are trapped in the Ferris wheel?"

"What?!?!"

Inside the Ferris wheel cabin, Zeng Xiaoxian hung up the phone.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief: "Nanfeng said to wait a little longer, they'll be here soon."

"What good will it do for Nanfeng and the others to come over? They'll just have to watch us get sun-dried like salted fish down there."

Yifei fanned herself with both hands, but large drops of sweat still dripped down her face.

It was only past noon, and the sun overhead was still scorching and dazzling. The sunlight not only reflected off the metal structure of the wheel well, forming dazzling patches of light, but also brought with it an indescribable heat.

The Ferris wheel cabins are almost completely enclosed. Being in such a heat-absorbing iron cage, even if the outside temperature is only in the early thirties, the stuffiness inside the cabin can definitely make you sweat profusely.

Not to mention that Yifei and Xiaoxian's cabin was at the very top of the Ferris wheel, the one that was the most exposed to the sun.

Although Yifei opened the window inside the cabin for sightseeing and taking photos immediately, this small window, which was so small that even a person's head couldn't stick out, obviously couldn't alleviate the stuffiness inside the cabin.

"Let's switch places."

Sweating profusely, Xiao Xian shakily stood up upon seeing this. He pushed Yi Fei aside and sat on the side facing the sun, blocking out the sun.

Yifei looked at Xiaoxian, who was bathed in light, her eyes flashing frequently.

"Get out of my way. Who gave you the right to act like a hero in front of me?"

She was about to get up and switch places with him.

"sit down!"

Xiao Xian, unusually forceful, pressed her down: "It's just blocking the sun, not bullets. It's quite interesting to keep switching between them."

"Too."

Yifei wasn't one to be coy. She patted her wet chest and said, "Then you shield me from the sun, and I'll shield you from bullets in the future."

"Okay."

Xiao Xian nodded happily, not taking Yi Fei's promise seriously.

They are all law-abiding citizens; they would never have the chance to be shot in their lives.

Could it be that he went to rob a tomb and got shot?
