Lin Wanyu turned to look at Su Mingyang, cheering as she passed each challenge and popping a segment of orange into his mouth.
Gradually, more than a dozen oranges on the table were unknowingly eaten by Su Mingyang, and his face turned from white to yellow, becoming a sallow-faced man.
Hu Yifei and her brother, both single, felt quite bitter. They kept their distance from them, one reading a book and the other reading a newspaper, immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Just then, Zeng Xiaoxian pushed open the door and entered, holding a small flower basket in his hands, showing off to everyone: "It seems the great news of my show's 600th episode has already spread far and wide."
Lin Wanyu looked up and exclaimed with a smile, "Wow, Teacher Zeng, you're so beautiful!"
Hu Yifei put down her book and teased, "Someone's already sending you a wreath so soon?"
"This is a flower basket!"
Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, sat down on the sofa, and said pretentiously, "Sigh, but I need to keep a low profile. You all know, people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat, and dead pigs aren't afraid of boiling water."
Su Mingyang quit the game, then thought of a limerick and joked: "People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. Xiao Xian has neither. If you ask him what he has, it's that he's not afraid of boiling water."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's smile froze abruptly. He turned to look at Su Mingyang, his eyes practically rolling back to the top of his head.
"Pfft, haha!"
Lin Wan leaned on Su Mingyang's shoulder and couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Yifei and Lu Zhanbo couldn't help but chuckle.
Hu Yifei said to Zeng Xiaoxian, "Zeng Xiaoxian, I think Mingyang's words would be quite suitable as your QQ signature."
Zeng Xiaoxian: ""
Su Mingyang suppressed a laugh, patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Teacher Zeng, I believe that sooner or later you will have both of these qualities."
Encouraged, Zeng Xiaoxian's face lit up with a smile again: "Haha, don't worry, I definitely will!"
Lu Zhanbo boasted, "By the way, Teacher Zeng, I've already told all my friends in the apartment about your special program today, and they'll all be listening."
Zeng Xiaoxian nodded in satisfaction: "Great!"
Lin Wanyu asked with a smile, "Mr. Zeng, you will thank some people, right?"
"certainly."
Zeng Xiaoxian nodded, "I want to thank some special people, you know who I'm talking about."
"very nice."
Lin Wanyu's eyes curved into crescents. "Then, Teacher Zeng, please take a look and see who sent this flower basket."
Zeng Xiaoxian nodded, took out a greeting card from the flowers, and read aloud: "Su Mingyang, Lin Wanyu, Guan Gu Shenqi, Lu Ziqiao, Chen Meijia, Lu Zhanbo."
Upon reaching the end, he paused, frowned, and asked, "Who is this Gu?"
Hu Yifei put her hands on her hips and said irritably, "Yue Yifei is on the other side."
Zeng Xiaoxian flipped the greeting card over and teased everyone, "Oh, you guys are so kind to me, managing to put seven names on such a small card."
Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow and said, "Teacher Zeng, the card may be small, but the sentiment it contains is immense."
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled nonchalantly: "Alright, that's true."
Just then, Guan Gu Shenqi, holding a paintbrush, called out from the doorway, "Teacher Zeng, there's a package for you. Come and receive it."
"it is good."
Zeng Xiaoxian nodded, got up and went out.
A short while later.
Zeng Xiaoxian, holding a flower basket taller than himself, leaned against the entrance of 360, swaying his hips and looking quite smug: "What do you think?"
"It's huge!"
Lin Wanyu was surprised and turned to Su Mingyang to ask, "Mingyang, did you buy this?"
Su Mingyang shook his head.
Hu Yifei also assumed that the large flower basket was bought by her and her group, and said with annoyance, "If only I had written my names on it, there would have been enough room!"
"Let me see who sent it."
Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile, took out the greeting card inside and glanced at it, then his smile froze.
Su Mingyang asked, "Who bought it, Teacher Zeng?"
"There was no name written on it, but I think I recognize the handwriting."
Zeng Xiaoxian frowned and shook his head, looking at the greeting card and reading: "We will meet again if we are destined to. It is an honor to be your guest. See you on the show tonight."
No way!
After Zeng Xiaoxian finished reading, he flipped the card over, saw the name on it, and, as if electrocuted, threw the card aside, hiding in the 360 camera in terror. He shouted excitedly, "It's Laura! It's her! It was from Laura!"
Laura
A figure flashed through Su Mingyang's mind, "The one from Tomb Raider..."
"Um... Laura and I are definitely comparable."
Hu Yifei smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Laura is actually my nickname."
"Don't joke around!"
Zeng Xiaoxian snapped, pacing back and forth while muttering, "It's Laura! How could it be Laura! There are so many people in the world, why is she my guest!"
Lin Wanyu and Su Mingyang exchanged a glance, then Lin Wanyu asked curiously, "Teacher Zeng, who is this Laura? Why are you so afraid of her?"
Zeng Xiaoxian recalled some unpleasant memories and exclaimed in terror, "She's my nightmare! My nightmare!"
Lu Zhanbo asked in confusion, "Didn't you say my sister was your nightmare?"
Su Mingyang added, "And Chen Ruyu."
"Yeah, oh my god!"
Zeng Xiaoxian screamed, clutching his head, on the verge of collapse, "I'm having three nightmares now!"
Chapter 151 Love is a Light!
Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's horrified expression, Lin Wanyu asked in confusion, "You know this Laura?"
Zeng Xiaoxian's mind was a complete mess, and he stammered, "We know each other very well. A lot of things have happened, it's very complicated. To make a long story short, it's a long one."
Su Mingyang prompted, "Teacher Zeng, why don't you say it?"
Zeng Xiaoxian thought for a few seconds and uttered a few words: "She dumped me."
"Uh, it's not long."
Lin Wanyu looked completely bewildered.
Suddenly, Hu Yifei realized something and exclaimed excitedly, "Could this Laura be the woman who cheated on you?"
Su Mingyang also recalled this moment and looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with sympathy.
Hu Yifei ruthlessly reopened his wounds, and in an instant, Zeng Xiaoxian felt a heartache so intense he couldn't breathe. Pointing at her, he screamed frantically, "See that! See that! I told you those three '3s' are my nightmares!"
"Teacher Zeng, calm down. You'll get used to nightmares after a while."
Su Mingyang comforted him.
"Do not!"
Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head violently, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "Mingyang, you have no idea how agonizing it is for me to live in a nightmare every day! I already had one by my side, and now another one has come. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't see the sun rise tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Hu Yifei could no longer tolerate it and retorted, "Zeng Xiaoxian, that's enough! How have I become your nightmare? It's as if I've abused you!"
Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at her, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, thinking to himself: "Don't you have any conscience saying that? You've tormented me so much!" Su Mingyang advised, "Yifei, don't add to Teacher Zeng's troubles. One Laura is enough for him to handle."
"Who told him to say that about me?"
Hu Yifei pouted, hugged the teddy bear, and sat down on the sofa.
Lu Zhanbo comforted her, "Teacher Zeng, it's alright. It's just an old flame visiting. You can take this opportunity to catch up."
Su Mingyang was amused by Lu Zhanbo's naiveté; how could he even think of reminiscing with the woman who had cheated on him?
Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless and said irritably, "Heh, what's the point of reminiscing? Should we reminisce about the pain of my first half of life, or look ahead to whether the second half will be even more painful?"
Lin Wanyu chimed in, "Teacher Zeng, relax. Anyway... so much time has passed."
"It's because so much time has passed that I've forgotten her. I don't want to hear her name again, I don't want to think about her again. Anything related to her will trigger my anger."
Zeng Xiaoxian quickly took off his coat and threw it aside, exclaiming, "I have an allergic reaction all over my body!"
Lin Wanyu exclaimed in surprise, "That's too much!"
"Absolutely not an exaggeration!"
Zeng Xiaoxian loudly gave an example: "For instance, Laura is a reporter, so I started to fear all reporters in the world. When have you ever seen me being interviewed by a reporter?"
"No."
Su Mingyang shook his head and said, "But no one's interviewing you, Professor Zeng, right?"
Lin Wanyu and Hu Yifei covered their mouths and chuckled.
That's not the point!
Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, pacing around like a cat on a hot tin roof, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "I can feel her inner universe getting closer and closer!"
