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

Chapter 26 A Pitiful Stranger
Leave the service hall.

Gu Yifan knew that mobile phone service centers were rip-offs in this era, but he didn't expect them to be this bad.

The shop assistants secretly processed all sorts of strange and unusual packages without him noticing. If Gu Yifan hadn't firmly refused, the shop assistants would have tried to trick him into getting another phone card.

Fortunately, he persisted and finally got his phone and the replacement SIM card.

"Balance -2560 yuan"

Looking at the service center, Gu Yifan shook his head. "Damn it, I'm never coming here again."

I turned on my new phone, which cost over two thousand yuan. It still had more than 50% battery left, but it didn't have any particularly impressive features.

Gu Yifan was quickly drawn to a series of messages that popped up automatically on his phone.

"New funds have been deposited into your ICBC account"

"New funds have been deposited into your ICBC account"

These must be system rebates.

Gu Yifan checked his balance, and with his existing savings, it was almost six figures.

Account balance: 86,737
This amount of money is considered a small fortune nowadays. Gu Yifan saw job postings at those shops, with salaries ranging from two to four thousand.

That's enough for him to live comfortably for a year, as long as there aren't any major expenses.

If this had happened before, Gu Yifan might have been excited, but now that he's transmigrated, money has become a minor issue.

If I get along well with Lin Wanyu in the future, I can just casually give her a handbag, tsk.

Become a millionaire with ease.

"It's a pity that everything in my contacts has been wiped clean." Gu Yifan still remembered the matter of his 'cheap older sister'.

Simply resisting won't do any good; you'll have to face it sooner or later.

Gu Yifan wanted to call back to explain, but he couldn't do that without her phone number, so he could only wait for her to call again.

I paced back and forth at the intersection for a moment.

"Let's go to the mall and take a look around first."

It's still early to go back to the apartment, so Gu Yifan plans to buy the big items first, such as a mattress and sheets, and a blanket or a summer quilt.

Lin Wanyu went to the bank and didn't know when she would be back.

Familiarize yourself with the terrain, just in case.

Nearby shopping mall.

Gu Yifan, with the speed of a boy, quickly finalized the four-piece bedding set and even thoughtfully bought a set for Lin Wanyu.

Now he's got another ten thousand yuan in hand, just waiting to give it to Lin Wanyu tonight.

The speed at which money was coming in made Gu Yifan feel like it was unreal.

After leaving his contact information, Gu Yifan asked the mall to deliver the goods directly to his community. He glanced at the time; it was already 4 p.m.

He was getting ready to go back to his apartment.

After spending so much time going back and forth between the lab, dorm, and cafeteria, I'm really not used to the feeling of people coming and going.

Just as Gu Yifan was passing by a bus stop.

He didn't notice that a young woman carrying large bags and suitcases was standing under the bus stop sign, looking around blankly with a hint of helplessness.

Just when the two were about to miss each other.

The system suddenly issued a notification.

You've settled down in the ancient coastal town. Although your lodging is just a small inn, and you have to live among all sorts of people, it's a first step in your journey.

After settling in, you explore the area around the inn on your own, broadening your horizons and buying necessities. You unexpectedly discover a flustered young woman dressed in simple clothes, standing out starkly from the elegantly dressed people around her. She cautiously surveys her surroundings, seemingly having just arrived in this ancient seaside town from the countryside.

You noticed that although the girl was simply dressed, she had a pitiful, innocent face that seemed to suggest she was naive and in need of help. Moved by her appearance, you decided to approach her and strike up a conversation.

Gu Yifan silently stopped.

God has no compassion, but He sees only lust and greed.

The dog system needs to specifically describe the other party's appearance.

But since it can trigger system tasks, it's worth taking a look.

Gu Yifan looked around and finally his gaze fell on a reserved girl at the bus stop not far away.

When Gu Yifan saw the other person's face clearly, he was immediately stunned.

It wasn't because of her appearance, but because he found the girl with the ponytail very familiar.

Gu Yifan racked his brains. Then he remembered—wasn't this the girl with congenital heart disease that Guan Gu saved in Love Apartment?

What was her name again? Right, Xinling.

Life seems to be a circle; you meet people by chance.

But the problem is that he just went up to talk to me so abruptly without any reason.

I came to Shanghai alone from the countryside.

Cyndi’s first impression of Shanghai was that it was huge, with so many tall buildings, and everything seemed so new and exciting.

But at the same time, it made this girl, who came from an orphanage in a small county, very nervous.

Because this place is so big, with unfamiliar streets, wide roads, speeding cars, and pedestrians coming and going.

Her simple clothes stood out from the crowd. She wore no jewelry and struggled to carry a duffel bag made of urea bags, drawing strange looks from passersby.

This made the girl, who came from a small county town, even more self-conscious and reserved.

"What should I do? I'm lost. Should I ask for directions?"

Xinling quickly dismissed the idea; she was too timid to ask passersby for help.

On a sweltering summer day, carrying heavy luggage.

This made Xinling, whose body was already weak, feel even more dizzy and lightheaded, with cold sweat constantly pouring out and covering her fair forehead.

As her heart rate gradually increased, by the time Xinling realized that she was having shortness of breath and that a heart attack was about to occur, it was already too late.

She was like the little match girl in the fairy tale, huddled in a corner of the bus stop, silently ignored by everyone.

Most passersby gave it a cold glance and then paid it no further attention.

Not all.

Just as Xinling was crouching on the ground in anguish, like Xi Shi clutching her heart.

A tall shadow perfectly blocked out the scorching sun.

"Medicine."

Cyndi ignored everything else and rummaged through her plain dark green bag, trying to find the medicine, but the more anxious she became, the less she could find it.

Fortunately, fate seemed to be on the side of this poor girl.

"I'll help you find it."

In a daze, she noticed the man squatting in front of her, taking the bag from her hand, and quickly rummaging through it.

They quickly found a small medicine bottle.

"Is this it?"

The voice is very pleasant, with a slightly magnetic bass.

Xinling didn't even have the strength to speak, and just nodded repeatedly.

He waited until she swallowed the pill, then covered his chest and quietly felt the palpitations gradually dissipate.

We're saved.
Xinling breathed a sigh of relief, raised her pretty face, which was covered with a light sheen of sweat, and wanted to see what her savior looked like.

When she saw the young man's face, she was stunned.

Under the sunlight, there was a face with sharp features and well-defined angles.

The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his handsome features tinged with a resolute air, and his deep black eyes were looking at her with concern.

She had never seen such a beautiful person before.
Xinling was momentarily dazed, and her inferiority complex made her too timid to speak.

Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?

"No, no need." Upon hearing the word "hospital," Xinling snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hand, saying in a soft Wu voice, "I'm fine, thank you, no need to go to the hospital."

Going to the hospital means incurring high costs.

She came to Shanghai to work and earn money before entering university, hoping to find a job to cover her expenses. How could she possibly go to the hospital and spend a lot of money on examinations first?

But the handsome man didn't give up. He frowned and said, "Really? You don't look very well."

For a moment, Xinling, who had been careful not to bother others, was looked at with strange eyes. Feeling wronged, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Thank you. But you really don't need to.

Xinling's voice was choked with sobs, like a wronged little animal that didn't know who to confide in.
