Chapter 768 The Disorderly 1st Phil
Chapter 767 A Disheveled Yifei (First Update)
After Nanfeng and his six colleagues finished handling the follow-up accountability and compensation matters, Yifei and Xiaoxian also successfully completed their examinations.
Yifei has always been in good physical condition. Even after being trapped in the Ferris wheel for more than two hours, she didn't suffer any problems. Her only health issue that might be worth noting is that she gets too angry, and excessive internal heat can easily damage her liver.
As for Zeng Xiaoxian—
Although everyone arrived just in time and prevented him from suffering from heatstroke or heat exhaustion, his body was already weak. After today's ordeal, his immunity might drop in a couple of days, and he might get a headache, fever, or a cold.
So the old Chinese medicine doctor at the hospital prescribed him a Chinese medicine formula and told him to drink the decoction for several days. He also specifically instructed Xiaoxian to strengthen his exercise after he recovered, not to think too much, and most importantly, to stay up late less often.
Zeng Xiaoxian readily agreed, but given his lazy and indecisive personality and the nature of his nighttime live-streaming job, the three suggestions from the old Chinese medicine doctor were probably like casting pearls before swine.
Nanfeng and his group reunited with Xiaoxian and his friends at the entrance of the amusement park. After receiving the appropriate compensation, Yifei and Xiaoxian finally showed satisfied smiles.
Of course, while they were completely satisfied, they would never return to that amusement park in their lifetime.
Pooh!
A garbage amusement park!
It was already 7 p.m. when everyone returned to the apartment. Nanfeng, Yumo, and Zhang Wei were still parking the car, while the others had already left.
There was no other way; the apartment elevator could only carry a maximum of eleven people, so even if there were twelve of them, they would have to go in two groups.
"Ah~~"
The moment they saw the elevator slowly ascend to the sixth floor, Yifei and Xiaoxian leaned against the elevator wall and let out a satisfied groan.
Even though more than two hours had passed since they were rescued, it was only then that the two of them finally felt alive again.
Because they are almost home.
Yifei patted her chest, her face showing a hint of relief at surviving a close call: "I, Hu Hansan, am finally back!"
Zeng Xiaoxian closed his eyes, a lewd smile spreading across his face: "Yeah, I feel like I just went through a life-or-death ordeal. Luckily, my brother Xian is very lucky."
As he was speaking, his expression suddenly turned serious.
Xiaoxian glanced nervously at the ascending elevator, and said in a trembling voice, "What if this elevator suddenly breaks down too?"
Everyone shuddered at Zeng Xiaoxian's words, and Yifei, enraged, roared, "Zeng Xiaoxian, don't you dare jinx me like that!"
"Let me tell you, if the elevator really breaks down, I'll skin you alive this time!"
"No, no."
Xiao Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with an embarrassed smile, "I was just saying that offhand."
"cut."
Yifei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
Meijia put her arm around Yifei's and comforted her, "It's alright, Yifei. Teacher Zeng is just like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is now afraid of ropes for ten years."
"But he can't keep making such a jinx."
Yifei said angrily, "If you hadn't arrived in time this time, who knows what might have happened to us."
"what?"
Yifei then realized what was happening. She squinted and asked, "Didn't Zeng Xiaoxian say that none of you were free today? How come you all came together like this?"
"Well—"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes darted around and their limbs stiffened.
They tilted their heads slightly upward to look at the sky, then turned their backs to Yifei, not daring to answer the question.
"Oh, I see—"
Yifei's eyes narrowed. She held up a finger, pointed at everyone, and pressed, "Actually, you've all been at home all day, haven't you?!"
The crowd didn't answer; they just kept whistling.
Yifei shouted, "Tell the truth!"
"All right."
As the elevator was about to reach the sixth floor, Youyou decided not to hide anything any longer.
She turned around, covered her mouth, and said mysteriously, "It's like this, everyone knows that you got into the doctoral program, Yifei, so we've prepared a special surprise for you today."
"surprise?"
Before Yifei could ask any more questions, the elevator had already reached the sixth floor.
The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a profusion of small white and yellow flowers filling the entire elevator entrance.
"hiss----"
Upon seeing this, Yifei gasped, turning to stare in astonishment at the equally shocked and speechless crowd: "This is the surprise you prepared?"
"this----"
Youyou gave a stiff laugh and shrugged: "I have no idea."
Everyone shook their heads repeatedly, clearly remembering that there weren't these white and yellow flowers on the ground before they left.
As everyone walked around the flowers on the ground to the corner of the corridor, they saw wreaths placed on both sides of the corridor of 3601, with a black and white photo of Yifei prominently printed on them.
Seeing the lifelike image of Yifei on the wreath, with her voice and appearance still vivid, everyone stared in astonishment.
"Hehe, hehehehe————"
After a long silence, Yifei suddenly burst into a strange laugh.
Her eyes crinkled into a gentle smile as she looked at everyone: "What's going on now?"
"this----"
Everyone chuckled and shook their heads. Right now, not only Yifei, but they were all completely confused.
Youyou nudged Guangu, then covered her mouth and whispered, "Guangu, this shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"
-
"Of course it's none of my business."
Guan Gu said with a forced smile, "My Chinese isn't very good, but surely I can understand human speech?"
"Too."
Youyou nodded.
Just as everyone was pondering what was going on, the elevator doors on the sixth floor slowly opened again, and they heard Aunt Wang and Aunt Bai from the residents' committee whispering sadly.
"This is outrageous! How could such a wonderful girl like Yifei just leave like that!"
"That's right."
Aunt Bai sighed: "I heard that he was too excited after being admitted to the doctoral program and suffered a heart attack."
"I heard it's because Yifei got into her doctoral program, her boyfriend wanted to break up with her, and she couldn't handle the blow, so she left?"
"Nonsense! How could someone who gets into a female PhD program have a boyfriend!"
"————That's true."
Upon hearing this, Yifei was speechless.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Bai, carrying bouquets of flowers, came to the corner of the corridor. When they saw the lifelike Yifei standing in the middle of the wreath, they were stunned and gasped.
"A ghost!!!"
The two women were so frightened that they dropped the flowers in their hands and turned to run away shakily.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this.
"What are you all standing there for!"
Yifei said anxiously, "Hurry up and catch up with them to find out!"
"oh----"
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward in droves.
After everyone stopped Aunt Wang and Aunt Bai, it took them a long time to explain and convince the two aunties that Yifei had not died.
When they asked the two women where they had heard about Yifei's death, Aunt Wang and Aunt Bai couldn't explain the details, only saying that the news of Yifei's death had already spread throughout the apartment.
Seeing this, the others could only go to people they knew in the apartment, hoping to get to the bottom of things and find out the truth.
After several hours of effort, they finally figured out the truth.
Ultimately, this whole thing is Guan Gu's fault.
The whole farce started with the wreath that Guangu bought that morning. Nanfeng told him to get rid of it quickly, but it was impossible to return it, so Guangu had no choice but to find an open space and burn it.
So what the tenants saw was Guan Gu squatting in the corner, silently lighting a wreath with Yi Fei's portrait on it, crying bitterly as he burned it (actually, he was being smoked by the smoke).
And so, the rumors about Yifei's death began to spread like wildfire, one person telling ten stories, ten telling a hundred, and the rumors became more and more widespread, with the reasons for Yifei's death becoming increasingly outrageous.
Despite her fiery temper, Yifei was quite popular in the apartment. After hearing the tragic news, her close tenants spontaneously sent her flowers and wreaths to express their condolences.
And then—things turned out the way everyone sees now.
After learning the whole story, everyone was speechless, especially Nanfeng. He never expected that he had managed to handle everything, but a single oversight allowed Guan Gu to create such a mess.
That's great, we don't need to have a surprise party for Yifei anymore, we can just pack up and turn it into a memorial service.
However, despite their complaints, they could only try to handle the aftermath.
After Yifei successfully clarified through the residents' committee's broadcast that she had not died, the group, who had been up all day and hadn't had dinner yet, finally returned to their suite, exhausted.
It was already 10 p.m., and everyone was exhausted and hungry, so they had to hastily end the surprise party they had been preparing for.
They had a late-night snack together, then returned to their respective suites to wash up and rest.

Late at night, Yifei, half asleep, suddenly remembered Zeng Xiaoxian's words on the Ferris wheel in her dream.
She sat up abruptly in bed, scratching her messy hair, her eyes filled with confusion.
Is Zeng Xiaoxian trying to hint at something to himself?!
