Chapter 34: Chaotic Warfare in Three Kingdoms?
"Oh, the food's ready! I'll go get it for you!"
It has to be said that Chen Meijia is a very naive girl. She really believed Martin's words and, feeling carefree, busied herself serving Martin.
Martin felt a little embarrassed as he took the bowl of rice that Chen Meijia had served him.
"Mika, I can do it myself..."
Chen Meijia waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, you've helped me a lot. If you don't let me do something for you, I won't be able to eat or sleep properly."
Martin said, "You're too kind. Well... shall I eat it?"
"How about I feed you?"
Chen Meijia enthusiastically offered to sit down.
You're actually serious?
"No! I'm not at the point where I need to be fed." Startled, Martin quickly refused and picked up his chopsticks to take a bite.
"Mmm! Meijia, your cooking is pretty good! This water spinach tastes so good!"
To be fair, although Chen Meijia is often a bit absent-minded, her cooking skills are undeniable. I don't know how she manages to control the amount of salt used so that the vegetables don't become mushy...
"As long as you like it."
When praised for her cooking skills, Chen Meijia smiled shyly.
[Chen Meijia: Martin is such a nice guy, not only is he good at fortune telling, but he's also very polite! Unlike Lu Ziqiao, who just eats and always bullies me. Whenever he praises me, it's never anything good!]
At this moment, Lü Ziqiao came out of the room while making a phone call.
"I am of mixed Chinese and Korean descent, have three master's degrees, am fluent in multiple languages, have an outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. You can rest assured that the quality is absolutely guaranteed."
I'm experienced and very professional. Okay, I'll be right there. Okay, no problem. Thank you. Bye.
Martin and Chen Meijia exchanged a glance.
Is this definitely referring to Lu Ziqiao himself?
"Master Ma, you're awake."
Lu Ziqiao greeted him.
Martin waved his hand. "I've already said, just call me Martin. Calling me 'Master' makes me sound old."
"Um, Mika, I might be back a little late today. Don't forget to save me dinner; I'll eat when I get back."
After saying that, Lü Ziqiao was about to leave.
Chen Meijia asked curiously, "Ziqiao, where are you going?"
"Don't ask too many questions about men's affairs. Just do what you're supposed to do," Lu Ziqiao said with a smile.
Suppressing her anger, Chen Meijia said in a coquettish tone, "Are you going to make money? Can you take me with you?"
"Not everyone can do this job," Lu Ziqiao said arrogantly, flicking his bangs.
"Tch~ Fine, they won't take me. Their income must be so-so." Chen Meijia pouted, just like a sour grapes.
"This number at a time," Lu Ziqiao couldn't help but show off, holding up two fingers.
"twenty?"
Lu Ziqiao shook his head.
"two hundred?"
Chen Meijia smiled with interest.
Lu Ziqiao smugly said, "Idiot! Two thousand each time!"
"Hiss~ It's charged per session? Are you going to do... ugh~"
Chen Meijia conjured up a pixelated image in her mind and rubbed her arms with a look of disgust.
Martin ate his food while watching the show.
"Hehe, this is even better with rice than big fish and meat dishes, it really makes you want to eat more rice."
Lu Ziqiao was smugly wiggling his butt after he finished speaking, but when he heard Chen Meijia suspect that he had sold his body, his expression changed instantly.
"What nonsense are you thinking? I'm involved in a research project."
Lu Ziqiao remained expressionless.
Chen Meijia asked innocently, "Does that require using your brain?"
"Um~ It's mostly physical work, but it requires a bit of imagination!" Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.
Chen Meijia thought for a moment, then pointed at Lu Ziqiao and said with a strange expression, "Oh~ you're not going to donate, oh no! You're going to sell... that, are you?"
Martin nearly choked on his food, laughing, "Ziqiao, it has to be you! Even finding a job requires such skill, I give you a thumbs up!"
Lu Ziqiao: "..."
"I'll give you one too, hahaha, go ahead, I won't see you off, hahaha..." Chen Meijia covered her mouth and laughed hysterically as she looked at Lu Ziqiao's constipated expression.
Stop laughing at others and worry about yourself.
Lu Ziqiao was powerless to defend himself; his heart was bleeding. "Do you think I wanted this? It's just that I was forced by circumstances..."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's learn from Comrade Ziqiao, and be self-reliant!"
Chen Meijia made an obscene gesture and mimicked what Lu Ziqiao had said on the phone earlier: "I'm experienced and very professional, hahaha!"
"Pfft~ Haha..."
Martin ultimately couldn't resist.
Laughter is contagious.
"I'm warning you two, don't tell anyone! Do you think I want this? Do you know how hard it is for the three of us to live in a four-bedroom apartment?"
Lu Ziqiao glared at the two men with a bitter expression, issuing a warning.
Martin paused for a moment, then assured him, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."
Lu Ziqiao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Chen Meijia.
"Hahaha, I was worried about your health, huh? Young Master Lü." Chen Meijia laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Lu Ziqiao scoffed, "Come on! If you're so capable, find someone to share our rent. That's better than anything else!"
Chen Meijia, who was laughing just a moment ago, immediately stopped and said, "Martin just told me that we can solve the extra rent problem today. Not only that, we can also cover the rent for the next few months."
"Really?" Lu Ziqiao looked at Martin.
Martin, who was still eating, didn't have time to speak, so he made an OK sign.
Ding Dong!
Doorbell rang.
Martin's eyes lit up.
Speak of the devil and he appears!
"I'll go open it."
Chen Meijia took the initiative to run and open the door.
"Here you are!"
As soon as the door opened, she saw a handsome young man with black-rimmed glasses standing outside, and Chen Meijia's heart melted.
Martin swallowed what was in his mouth and jogged over to Lu Ziqiao's side to take a look.
That's right, it's Guan Gu Shenqi!
Guan Gu Shenqi said in a strange accent, "Excuse me, hello! Uh, I..."
Chen Meijia, with a lovesick expression, said, "Hello~"
"Hello! Please come in."
Guan Gu Shenqi said apologetically, "Ah, I won't come in. I'd like to borrow your phone for a bit."
"What's your name?"
Lu Ziqiao had no idea that this was the sucker he had been looking for.
"My name is Guan Gu."
Guan Gu bowed slightly.
Before he could finish speaking, Lü Ziqiao interrupted him, extending his hand and saying, "Ah, Guan Yu, hello! My name is Lü Bu, and this is Ma Chao!"
The two then shook hands.
Martin's smile froze.
? ? ? ?
Who is Ma Chao?
Love Apartment: Chaos of the Three Kingdoms?
Guan Gu miraculously corrected him, "My name is not Guan Yu, my name is Guan Gu."
"Are you Uyghur?" Lu Ziqiao asked in a peculiar accent.
Guan Gu said in a friendly manner, "No, you've misunderstood. I'm Japanese."
"Oh, Japanese people, the Yamato race, nice to meet you!" Lu Ziqiao suddenly realized.
"Please wait a moment!"
Lu Ziqiao quickly pulled Martin and Chen Meijia, who was infatuated with the girl, to the side.
"Business is here, business is here, get back to normal!" Lu Ziqiao excitedly shook Chen Meijia, who was still immersed in her own world.
"So handsome!"
Chen Meijia was so engrossed in her dream that she forgot how to get home.
Martin pointed at Chen Meijia and asked, "Is she alright?"
"It's nothing, I'm just being a fangirl."
After replying, Lu Ziqiao hurriedly slapped Chen Meijia on the back of the head and whispered, "Wake up! The most important thing right now is the deal!"
"What kind of business?"
"Let's split the rent! Look, someone's delivered right to our doorstep, and he's a Japanese guy at that. Let's rip him off big time, split it 50/20, how about that?"
Lu Ziqiao was so excited he felt like he was taking off.
Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Chen Meijia finally calmed down a bit and said without hesitation, "Okay!"
Martin agreed, "I'm fine with that too."
"Ah!" Chen Meijia exclaimed, grabbing Martin with delight and exclaiming excitedly, "Master Ma, I understand what you mean!!"
Chen Meijia: Far away yet right in front of you, isn't that exactly what this handsome Japanese guy is all about!
We were born in two different countries, separated by vast distances, and never saw each other growing up. We went through so much together, and finally! He felt the call of my heart~ (shyly) and somehow crossed the ocean to come to me, fulfilling the saying "so close at hand"! It matches! It matches! Everything matches!
Afterwards, Martin helplessly shrugged: "Wrong, wrong, all wrong! I really didn't expect Mika to be so ridiculously wrong! I'm speechless..."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Martin was a little confused.
Lu Ziqiao interrupted the two, saying urgently, "Stop chatting, let's get down to business!"
The three composed themselves, turned around, and gave Guan Gu a menacing smile.
Guan Gu Shenqi felt that Wei Xiao was a bit creepy, giving him a sense of déjà vu, like Tang Sanzang falling into the Spider Cave...
Lu Ziqiao walked back and introduced with a smile: "Don't be shy, make yourself at home. Let me introduce you, these two are my roommates, Meijia and Martin."
"Hello!"
Chen Meijia excitedly pushed Martin aside and grabbed Guan Gu's magical hand.
Go pour water for the guests.
Seeing that Chen Meijia was repeating her old habit of holding onto Guan Gu's magical hand tightly, Lu Ziqiao was worried that the gullible Chen Meijia would scare him away, so he quickly reminded her.
"Hai!"
For the sake of money, Chen Meijia obeyed without question and bowed in a daze.
"Oh, hello!"
The naive and inexperienced Guan Gu Qi Shen gave him a grateful bow in return.
