I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 101 You have to take responsibility for what you're doing.

Lin Wanyu stood in Gu Yifan's room, tilting her head back and taking several deep breaths.

Her beautiful eyes widened
There seemed to be a faint, peculiar fragrance in Gu Yifan's room, a pleasant scent that Lin Wanyu had never smelled before.

It doesn't smell like flowers. I can't quite put my finger on it.

But the more Lin Wanyu smelled it, the more she felt slightly intoxicated, the kind of intoxication that made it hard to stop.

It's like a cat smelling catnip.

"Gu Yifan, are you wearing perfume?"

Lin Wanyu looked at Gu Yifan curiously, wanting to ask him where he bought the perfume, as it smelled really good.

"No, what man wears cologne?" Gu Yifan said expressionlessly, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Even so, a series of knowledge about men's fragrance pairings, appropriate occasions, and so on flooded his mind.

Ha, another piece of useless knowledge has been added.

Lin Wanyu was somewhat skeptical. She raised her small face suspiciously and walked over quickly. "I don't believe it. How can you smell so good without perfume? Let me smell you!"

"Hey, hey, hey." Gu Yifan's forehead creased with a few more black lines. "You're being a little too presumptuous by coming into my room now."

"Hehe." Lin Wanyu gave Gu Yifan a playful smile. "I need to talk to you about something~"

"Where are Yifei and the others?"

Gu Yifan asked, "Lin Wanyu is so bold, she just left Ms. Hu and the others behind and came in?"
"They went to help Ziqiao and Meijia prepare for their 999-day anniversary," Lin Wanyu replied casually, her eyes fixed on Gu Yifan.

Looking at his eyes, nose, and lips, Lin Wanyu's heart pounded.

A delicate fragrance emanated from Gu Yifan.

Lin Wanyu's delicate nose twitched slightly, and she unconsciously moved her feet, almost getting close to Gu Yifan, her face flushed slightly.

"What 999-day anniversary?"

Gu Yifan silently reached out and pressed his hand against Miss Lin's face, who was swaying like a puppy, and pushed her away slightly with a hint of disgust. "What are you doing?"

"wrong!"

Lin Wanyu didn't answer. She stared at Gu Yifan with her bright eyes and said with certainty, "You must have worn perfume. You smell even better."

"No."

"Then let them smell it, just one sniff."

As she spoke, Lin Wanyu boldly bypassed Gu Yifan's arm and pounced on him.

Gu Yifan was startled by Lin Wanyu's actions and quickly dodged to the side and stood up.

Lin Wanyu sat on the bed and stared intently at Gu Yifan.

It's not her fault; the fragrance is really lovely, and although she's never smelled it before, she really likes it.

Lin Wanyu felt her cheeks getting hot.

"Gu Yifan, why are you hiding? I won't do anything to you." Lin Wanyu stomped her foot in annoyance.

Gu Yifan was also startled by Lin Wanyu's reaction.

"System, what's going on?"

The stronger the effect of your constitution on those who admire you, the greater the effect will be, and it will increase proportionally to your charm.

[Also, the first time I smell your unique fragrance, I will have a rather strong sensation, but it will return to normal after about an incense stick's time!]

A stick of incense? Let alone a stick of incense, Gu Yifan doubted that Lin Wanyu would even meow and pounce on him in a minute.

"Is there a solution? Can it be turned off?"

【.】

Worried that your unique constitution might attract unnecessary trouble and arouse the covetous eyes of those enchanting women in the martial arts world, you always carry a potion of awakening energy with you to avoid causing chaos.

"Water will do?" Gu Yifan understood.

Seeing that there was still some water in the glass next to her, before Lin Wanyu could pounce on her again.

Gu Yifan quickly reached out and touched it, then flicked it onto Lin Wanyu's face.

A few glistening drops of water splashed onto Lin Wanyu's cheek.

Lin Wanyu's face was flushed, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

But after being splashed with water, he quickly returned to normal and became more alert.

But she still inevitably bumped into Gu Yifan's arms.

"ah!"

Lin Wanyu snapped out of her daze and retreated in a panic, "Hey! Gu Yifan, what are you doing!"

Gu Yifan retorted without any politeness, "What are you doing?"

"I"

Lin Wanyu then realized her reaction just now, and stammered, unable to say anything. Her face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

She could sense it.
Lin Wanyu subconsciously grabbed the neatly folded blanket that Gu Yifan had made and covered herself with it.

But it only made things worse.

She didn't know why, but just now she felt that Gu Yifan smelled really good, and she really wanted to stick close to him and be together with him.

"It's all...it's all your scent!" Lin Wanyu blushed. "I just wanted to smell it."

"What does it smell like?" Gu Yifan firmly denied it, looking at Miss Lin with disdain. "There's something wrong with your nose."

"How could that be?" Lin Wanyu sniffed, unconvinced. She could indeed smell a very faint fragrance, but it didn't seem to have the same intoxicating feeling as before.

"Strange"

Lin Wanyu was also puzzled, and shyly wondered if it was because she had been fantasizing too much these days that she couldn't help herself.
Meijia had already told Lin Wanyu about it.

Women also have physiological needs.

And they find it even harder to control themselves when they like someone; they want to absorb his yang energy, press their cheeks against his hot palms, and be affectionate with him.

Don't feel shy or embarrassed, these are all normal reactions, otherwise it would be a sign of dislike.

That's why there's a saying: "Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger."

Lin Wanyu has grown up and is now a young woman.

It's natural that she might have feelings for boys she likes, and it's hard for her to control her emotions. This doesn't mean she's not a pure and good girl.

Lin Wanyu's early education largely came from Meijia.

'Could it be that Gu Yifan is really that attractive to me?'

Lin Wanyu no longer suspected Gu Yifan. Instead, she felt that she had been too unrestrained and had made a momentary lapse in judgment.

The atmosphere inside the room was becoming somewhat awkward.

"Never mind, it's probably just the smell of laundry detergent or something," Gu Yifan said as Lin Wanyu returned to normal.

If Lin Wanyu still looked so infatuated, he really would have to consider staying home all the time.

It will kill people!

[You don't need to worry about getting into big trouble for having a strange fragrance. Only girls who are deeply in love with you will have this change. For other men, it just means their feelings for you will increase slightly.]

The system explanation followed immediately.

Gu Yifan thought about it and understood.

Lin Wanyu would do this.

On the one hand, she had a high liking for him, and on the other hand, his charm was also a positive factor. In the end, it was the first time Lin Wanyu had ever smelled it.

Only when all three factors are combined can this happen, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so? Maybe."

Lin Wanyu secretly took a few more breaths.

Although it didn't make me feel as hot as before, it still smelled really good.

Lin Wanyu also noticed that Gu Yifan seemed more handsome and better looking.

"Then recommend a brand of laundry detergent to me. Hmm, why?"

Before Lin Wanyu could finish speaking with a blush on her face, Gu Yifan reached out and grabbed her soft little face.

"Next time, knock before you come in and wait for my permission. Also, wake up! How come you got so cocky after I praised you a few times today?" Gu Yifan asked calmly.

"Where is it?" Lin Wanyu said in a coquettish tone.

Seeing Gu Yifan's gaze, Lin Wanyu pouted and said in a wronged tone, "Okay, I admit I was a little bit cocky~"

"But Gu Yifan, don't you like me treating you like this?" Lin Wanyu asked, looking expectantly at Gu Yifan's reaction.

"."

"You're not quite used to it yet, so just try to act normal for now."

Gu Yifan turned his face away.

But Lin Wanyu sensed that Gu Yifan's words were not what they seemed, and he revealed a bright, victorious smile.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Gu Yifan then released Lin Wanyu's face, thought for a moment, and touched it again. It was very smooth and soft, making Gu Yifan reluctant to let go of it.

Lin Wanyu obediently raised her little face, her docile appearance, ready to be taken advantage of, coupled with her delicate features and a pair of crystal-clear eyes under her long eyelashes.

Gu Yifan's heart also raced as he watched.

Miss Lin is quite capable.

"You said you wanted to see me about something, what is it?" Gu Yifan backed down.

"Hee hee~"

Lin Wanyu was certain that Gu Yifan was shy.

She also noticed that all the candied hawthorns on the plate had been eaten, which made Lin Wanyu even happier.

"Meijia is absolutely right. Gu Yifan may not say it, but his actions speak louder than words. He definitely has feelings for me!"

Thinking it over, Lin Wanyu simply kicked off her slippers, revealing her delicate, jade-like toes, and sat cross-legged on Gu Yifan's bed, hugging her little feet.

"It's Meijia and Ziqiao."

"Meijia Ziqiao?" Mentioning this, Gu Yifan felt he should thank Qiao, if the secret method in his Lü Family Spring and Autumn Annals really worked.

"What's wrong with them?" Gu Yifan felt he needed to drink some water too.

It was truly because her delicate, pretty face, which had been resting in his palm, was so alluring that it had stirred his heart.

Lin Wanyu bit her lip lightly. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She wanted to speak several times, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Finally, she made up her mind.

"Gu Yifan, we're just pretending."

"Wait a moment, I'll go get a glass of water."

Before Lin Wanyu could utter the words she had been preparing, Gu Yifan turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Lin Wanyu was stunned and didn't even have time to stop him. She could only watch Gu Yifan leave.

Lin Wanyu clenched her fists.

The sentence she didn't finish was a decision she made after much deliberation, going against the wishes of her ancestors!
But this guy... this guy just walked away!!!

For a moment, Lin Wanyu felt a little deflated, and her tense body softened as she sat on the bed.

Her cheeks slowly turned a translucent pink. Buried between her legs, that big idiot... she didn't have the courage to say it a second time!

Not long after, Gu Yifan walked into the room carrying a cup.

"Would you like some?"

Lin Wanyu nodded without hesitation, "Drink."

Gu Yifan handed over a glass of plain water.

Lin Wanyu took it, gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, and exclaimed, "Phew~"

"Go on, what happened to Meijia and the others?" Gu Yifan asked, returning to normal.

“Oh,” Lin Wanyu said, her eyes flickering, “I think they seem to be pretending to be a couple as well.”

"Oh?" Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow. "Meijia told you?"

Lin Wanyu shook her head, "How could that be? I discovered it myself. Don't you think Meijia and Ziqiao are very distant from each other? There's no sense of intimacy at all, and even if there is, it feels fake."

"And every time I ask Meijia how she met Ziqiao or how they got together, Meijia changes the subject."

Lin Wanyu talked on and on, which surprised Gu Yifan. It wasn't for any other reason than Lin Wanyu's insight; she was quite intelligent when she got serious.

"Last time I asked Meijia if she would still choose Ziqiao as a boyfriend, she immediately said she was blind back then, and if she had another chance, she would definitely not want to meet Ziqiao."

After Lin Wanyu told Gu Yifan about her discoveries little by little, she finally frowned and summarized.

"And today. I could sense that Meijia was putting on an act, especially when Zhanbo said that Ziqiao was selling flowers, I saw a sneer on Meijia's lips."

Do you think I'm overthinking it, or...?

Gu Yifan didn't even think about it, "I think they're just pretending to be a couple."

"Really! You think so too?" Lin Wanyu was excited that Gu Yifan had agreed with her guess.

"Well, I have some inside information. Ziqiao has a whole platoon of ex-girlfriends. He's the kind of guy who can flit from flower to flower without ever getting attached to anyone." Gu Yifan didn't intend to hide anything from Wanyu, so he just said it casually.

"Really?" Lin Wanyu's eyes widened. "Then what about Meijia?"

“You must know something, that’s why you laughed. You know that Ziqiao wouldn’t buy the flowers for her,” Gu Yifan replied.

Lin Wanyu frowned. "No wonder."

"Actually, I think it's not just me who has doubts, Fei Fei has started to have doubts too."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, then said indifferently.

"Actually, the apartment offers this kind of benefit because they know that some people will take advantage of it, which is unavoidable. Moreover, the requirements are too simple. You can even enjoy half rent without living in the same room."

"Even if it's just one person, there are plenty of people in Shanghai who would be willing to share, and it's not impossible for them to temporarily team up."

Some construction workers are like that; they might live together, but each has their own family, and they just eat out together.

Gu Yifan had seen this kind of news many times.

Lin Wanyu, on the other hand, looked like she was having her worldview shaken, "Really?"

“Aren’t we the same?” Gu Yifan retorted.

Lin Wanyu hesitated for a moment. "I'm just worried about what will happen if we give ourselves away and get discovered?"

"What, does Meijia suspect you?" Gu Yifan asked.

“No, not at all.” Lin Wanyu shook her head. “Meijia didn’t suspect a thing.”

"but."

To put it bluntly, Lin Wanyu has never done anything bad, nor has she ever lied to anyone.

He felt guilty knowing that he might be exposed if he met Meijia and Ziqiao.

“But this can’t go on forever,” Gu Yifan replied after a moment’s thought.

"It's better than this."

"If you want to survive in Shanghai, you need to find a job that is enough to support yourself and pay rent, and that's the month you get paid."

"If you want to break up then, we can fake it, then it'll be fine."

Gu Yifan hesitated before saying, "We're not together yet," but he didn't say it.

Lin Wanyu, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at Gu Yifan, a hint of hurt in her beautiful eyes.

"Is that what you think?"

Hearing that Lin Wanyu's voice sounded strange, Gu Yifan subconsciously said something.

"I don't want to leave it entirely to you. If you feel it's inappropriate..."

"Do not."

Lin Wanyu's initial discomfort suddenly disappeared when she heard Gu Yifan say he didn't want to.

She smiled and said, "Then it's decided."

"But until I find a job and get paid, Gu Yifan."

"Ok?"

"You'd better take responsibility for me, okay?"
