Chapter 35: The attempt to get close to someone almost turned into an academic discussion.
Chen Meijia happily went to the kitchen to pour water.
The remaining three people took their seats.
Lu Ziqiao and Martin exchanged a glance, then Lu Ziqiao asked in a friendly manner, "Mr. Guan, is this your first time visiting China?"
Guan Gu Shenqi explained in a strange pronunciation, "My surname is not Guan, but Guan Gu. My name is Guan Gu Shenqi."
Lu Ziqiao laughed and said, "Oh, I know your 'little life' culture quite well!"
Guan Gu asked in surprise, "Really? You can speak Japanese?"
"I know a little. Yamete, Yamete, right?"
Lu Ziqiao chuckled lewdly as he swayed his body seductively.
Guan Gu stood there, stunned.
Your cultural approach is a bit unconventional...
Martin asked, "Huh? Isn't it 'one ku one ku'?"
Lu Ziqiao discussed, "We're reading different kinds of material. Mine was... oh dear!"
Chen Meijia, who was bringing water, couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Lü Ziqiao with the plate.
Feeling the threatening look from Chen Meijia, Martin, worried that he would also be beaten, chuckled awkwardly, "Hehehe, just kidding, to lighten the mood, Mr. Guan Gu, don't mind me."
"Oh, it's nothing." Guan Gu Shenqi explained politely, "It's like this, I booked room 3203 at Aisen Apartment online, but I might have gone to the wrong place, so I wanted to call and ask."
Martin had never understood this scene before, and couldn't help but complain: "Going from 3203 to 3602 by mistake? Guan Gu, did your math teacher teach you PE? And taking the elevator to the sixth floor to borrow a phone, Mr. Guan Gu, you really are... uh, a genius."
Seeing the look Lu Ziqiao gave him, Martin realized he had let something slip and quickly corrected himself.
Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head sheepishly. In fact, even he himself found this matter somewhat unbelievable. He didn't know what had happened to him; he had somehow ended up here.
Lu Ziqiao's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "It's Love Apartment."
Guan Gu nodded subconsciously, but quickly realized what he meant and corrected, "No, it's Aisen Apartments!"
Lu Ziqiao pretended to be confused, knowing full well what was going on: "Love Apartment is right!"
Guan Gu was stunned. Was his accent really that bad? Or did this person have a hearing problem?
He couldn't help but look up at Chen Meijia standing to the side.
Chen Meijia chimed in, "Yes, that's right."
Guan Gu, still skeptical, looked at Martin, who was dressed in "strange clothes".
Martin smiled, pointed at Lu Ziqiao, and said, "He's right."
"No, it's Mori, Aisen, like this."
Guan Gu Shenqi was starting to doubt himself, but he quickly reaffirmed his belief and wrote a few words on a piece of paper before handing it to Lü Ziqiao.
"This character is pronounced...qing~"
Lu Ziqiao took the note, said something, and then picked up a pen from the coffee table to write.
Guan Gu asked in bewilderment, "Is this how this character is pronounced in Chinese?"
"Oh dear, there are many characters with multiple pronunciations in Chinese. Your Chinese still needs improvement."
Lu Ziqiao held up the note he had written and pointed to the words on it, saying, "Love! Apartment! You're on the right track, this is the place."
"Oh, but I'm staying in a serviced apartment, which isn't here because there's no reception desk. So I'd like to borrow your phone, please!" Guan Gu Shenqi bowed as he sat on the sofa.
"...No problem, I'll go get it for you."
Lu Ziqiao pulled Martin and Chen Meijia aside and said, "Looks like this trick won't fool this little devil. Let's switch to Plan B."
"good!"
Chen Meijia nodded, then asked blankly, "But where do we have a Plan B?"
Martin is still just playing a minor role.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Lu Ziqiao pushed Chen Meijia away, straightened his hair, and said, "Ai Sen Apartment, I know, I know, you should have said so earlier."
Guan Gu frowned and raised his eyebrows, puzzled, "I should have said so earlier! Didn't you say it was a polyphonic character?"
The thick-skinned Lü Ziqiao was completely unaffected and said, "Hey, none of that matters! Chinese culture is profound and extensive; you'll gradually understand it."
Guan Gu suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I know, this is what the Chinese mean by 'learning until you're old,' right?"
Lu Ziqiao was taken aback.
I never expected this little Japanese devil to be able to devise his own strategy; he's such a lucky bastard with an innate divine body!
"You can even use... idioms?"
"Just a little bit, I'm learning." Guan Gu Shenqi smiled happily after being praised.
"Hold on."
Lu Ziqiao had an idea and ran back. Seeing Martin eating as if no one else was around, he immediately said, "What time is it and you're still eating!"
As he spoke, he snatched the chopsticks from Martin's hand and, without any hesitation, shoveled a few mouthfuls of food into his own mouth.
Martin: Ugh~ You're so unhygienic!
Lu Ziqiao whispered, "Plan B. I'll call this number in a bit. Meijia, you're the receptionist at Aisen Apartments. The goal is simple: to fool him, confuse him, and scare him."
Chen Meijia asked, bewildered, "This...is a single character?"
Lu Ziqiao nudged her, then handed her the phone and urged, "Go quickly."
"Oh, oh!" Chen Meijia grabbed her phone and ran to her room.
Lu Ziqiao put his arm around Martin and said seriously, "Martin, your task is simple: provide cover for me."
"What about me?"
Martin was taken aback.
Lu Ziqiao rolled his eyes. "Nonsense! Have you ever watched a crosstalk performance?"
"I've seen it. What's wrong?"
"When I'm trying to fool him, you'll be my straight man and watch my every move!"
"it is good."
The two of them turned to look outwards and exchanged a glance with Guan Gu Shenqi, who was curiously watching them. They smiled at each other.
[Guan Gu scratches his head in disbelief: Are all Chinese people this...strange?]
Lu Ziqiao and Martin walked over and sat down with smiles.
"Aisen Apartments is very famous, shall I call them for you?"
Lu Ziqiao picked up the phone.
"Oh, thank you, this is the number." Guan Gu Shenqi hurriedly handed the business card to Lü Ziqiao.
beep...
After dialing the number, Lü Ziqiao prepared to make the call.
Guan Gu Shenqi gestured with his hands to indicate the name. "Uh~ sorry, this number is 8 digits, but you entered 11 digits."
Lu Ziqiao paused for a moment, not expecting this little Japanese guy to have some tricks up his sleeve, but that was all. He then said deceptively, "Oh, this is... inside to outside and back to inside."
Guan Gu blinked, clearly not understanding.
Lu Ziqiao offered a haphazard explanation: "You don't understand. In China, you dial '110' before making a phone call (please don't imitate this, kids)."
Martin said, "Oh yes, this is our local tradition, unique to us, one dozen of them without a sound."
"Really? Then I'll write this down. You're never too old to learn."
Guan Gu Shenqi looked like he had learned something and took out his notebook to write it down.
Seeing Guan Gu taking notes, Martin clicked his tongue, suddenly feeling a sense of guilt.
May the Lord forgive me, Infinite Heavenly Venerable...
