I got it.\" Ren Lingyu hung up the phone, her lively eyes rolling around. Caesar, who was beside her, felt his heart \"thump!\" \"Yu, Yu, what do you want to play again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't worry! It has nothing to do with you this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>November 20th, Saturday, cloudy turning to light rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele had no work today. She originally wanted to make an appointment with Lingyu to go to the arcade because Lingyu said last time she wanted to see Qin Zhixiu's \"super arcade master\" skills. Unfortunately, Qin Zhixiu went to handle the foundation's affairs at the last minute, and Lingyu also said she had something to do. She could only give up and take advantage of the break to go for a run to exercise her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hey! Lele! What a coincidence! Going for a run? Hmm! Young people should exercise more, but running alone is boring! Come, come, come! I'll teach you sword practice!\" As soon as Zeng Xiangyi saw He Lele in a gray sportswear, she excitedly leaned over, smiling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How could she not be excited! She finally saw signs of her saint-like, desireless son having a romantic interest, but after waiting and waiting, she couldn't see any follow-up development, only seeing her son's face becoming colder and more stern day by day, making her afraid to ask anything. On Monday, her son went out wearing clothes and came home naked. She thought something substantial had happened, but he still wouldn't open his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She wasn't there during the day on Wednesday. When she got home, her husband said the girl had returned her son's clothes, which made her so happy she almost set off firecrackers. For several days, she had been wandering around the community entrance, but she hadn't met this girl even once! Today, she had temporarily given up and was preparing to practice sword, but she happened to catch her!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Son, oh son! It seems that without your mother's help, you still can't do it! Don't worry! Your mother is going out, one is worth two!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ever since we bought an electric mahjong machine at home~~ I've been mostly useless~~ It's so noisy I can't write a single word with WORD open~ I can't sleep well during my nap either~ I'll sleep first~~ I'll write tomorrow morning~~ I'll definitely make up the fourteen chapters in seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 251: Mother Takes Action\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like a fallen leaf meeting a snowstorm, He Lele was dragged into Dong× University by Zeng Xiangyi without any chance to resist. Along the way, she hadn't even said ten words before being led to the faculty union activity room. Facing Zeng Xiangyi's enthusiasm and machine-gun-like speaking speed, He Lele even secretly looked at the bodyguard not far behind her, but that bodyguard just followed with an expressionless face, without the slightest intention of saving her from fire and water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Big brother, please help me...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without outside help, He Lele, who had always respected the elderly and was not good at refusing others, honestly followed Zeng Xiangyi to learn Tai Chi sword for the whole morning. After a few hours, this fitness project, which was popular among middle-aged and elderly people, unexpectedly suited He Lele very well. The light, slow movements, the graceful and generous posture, the combination of hardness and softness, the stretching and elegance—after a morning, her body was a bit tired but very comfortable. The joints and muscles that were rarely used usually felt like they had been oiled and polished after rusting, feeling both numb and refreshing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alone? If you're alone, have lunch with me. I hate eating alone the most!\" At noon, Zeng Xiangyi said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Alone? Then it seemed L wasn't home. After considering it and glancing at the bodyguard brother, He Lele gave up resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After finally finishing lunch, He Lele just wanted to thank her and say goodbye, but she saw the knowledgeable and elegant aunt in front of her looking resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh... it's better to have a daughter. What's the use of having a son! Look at others, when they have nothing to do, mother and daughter hold hands to go shopping and eat, talking and laughing, how beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\" He Lele didn't respond; she couldn't. Shopping with mother and daughter? She had never shopped with her mother. She could certainly turn a deaf ear to those idle rumors, but she didn't want to see her mother's heartbroken expression for her. So in the past, when she had holidays and breaks, she wouldn't go out if she could, and if she did go out, she would only be alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lele... do you have time to go shopping with me this afternoon?\" Zeng Xiangyi asked with expectant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...Hmm, I have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shopping was truly a physical activity. For an entire afternoon, Zeng Xiangyi held He Lele's arm and visited all the shopping centers in the city center. He Lele was almost done for, but Zeng Xiangyi was still full of energy without any fatigue, which truly made He Lele admire her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's why I want you to practice sword with me! Strengthen your body, prolong your life, cultivate your character, and stay young forever!\" Zeng Xiangyi looked like a street performer selling miracle pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heh... hmm! Okay, as long as you don't mind me being stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's settled! Monday and Wednesday nights, Saturday mornings. Let's go, let's pick a sword, as a gift from me, this master, to my apprentice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uh...\" When, when did she become an apprentice?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shopping until dusk, just as He Lele worried, Zeng Xiangyi called Li Yiquan to pick them up. The three of them ate outside together and then drove home.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lawyer Li, you can drop me off in front.\" Just entering the residential complex, He Lele said hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Come to my house and sit for a while. I have some books and discs there that you can let the girl help you carry back.\" Zeng Xiangyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Half an hour later, He Lele finally managed to step out of the Li family's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lele, see you tomorrow morning!\" Zeng Xiangyi waved. Without waiting for He Lele to answer, she continued, \"Girl, don't come back too early, not coming back is fine too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two speechless people walked silently toward the residential building He Lele rented. The residential buildings at night all looked about the same, but even if they took the wrong path, it wouldn't take long to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Standing downstairs at the rental apartment, He Lele hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth. \"Thank you for sending me back. I can go up by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Last time, you didn't finish what you had to say, did you?\" Li Yiquan looked down at her, his phoenix eyes and black pupils like deep pools in a secluded realm, absorbing weak and wavering souls at any time. Wearing sportswear, a ponytail, a plain little face, and a somewhat thin body made her look like a teenager in the prime of her youth. But what kind of experience and pain were hidden under her calm and indifferent face? The more he understood, the more he... couldn't extricate himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sympathy? No, she didn't need sympathy, and he didn't have much sympathy in his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cherish? Yes, cherish the humiliation and helplessness she had suffered all the way; cherish the ugly human nature she had to endure since she was a child!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, what filled his heart at this moment was not just cherishing, but more... emotions he had never thought he would feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of her stubbornness in ignoring those rumors, listening to her light and gentle singing again and again, recalling her tearful little face and trembling body while gritting his teeth time after time... He hadn't come to see her for several days, but she hadn't left his mind for a single moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly his heart was filled with many strange emotions, yet it was empty, making him wake up twitching in the middle of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Author's note:\u003C\u002Fp>",1364,"2026-06-14T03:55:59.415Z","2026-06-17T08:39:51.626Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5e7bc6aa535abc25f7f7256e0d41850a63c4bf86fd17afb681dc0affc50380bf","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-232","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-230",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
