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

The second teammate appeared in Chapter 28.
"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xinling looked up in surprise, but then hesitated.

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you? Just give me directions."

"It's alright, I happen to be fine too, but if you're worried, that's fine too."

Gu Yifan was interrupted by Xinling before he could finish speaking.

As she shook her head, her silken, tied-up hair swayed as well.

"No, no, no, you helped me, you're a good person."

Although Gu Yifan knew that Xinling didn't mean it that way, he still felt strange being friend-zoned.

"Let's go then."

Gu Yifan was decisive and efficient. He helped pick up the luggage bag made from a urea bag next to him, saying, "Let me help you carry it."

"No, no need, it's too heavy, I can manage by myself."

Xinling tried to refuse, but Gu Yifan didn't give her the chance, carrying his heavy luggage bag and walking briskly.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xinling was a little surprised, but she still quickly followed.

"Thank you for your help, thank you."

"Alright, it was just a casual remark. Besides, you can call me by my name, no need for formalities," Gu Yifan said casually.

Xinling lagged half a step behind him, her cheeks still flushed red, whether from heat or shyness, which was quite noticeable due to her fair skin.

Her gaze couldn't help but frequently fall on Gu Yifan's profile and back.

"Um"

Xinling softly agreed, taking small, quiet steps to follow Gu Yifan, exuding a refined and demure charm.

There are still many kind-hearted people in this world, Cyndi thought.

She is so lucky.

Follow the system prompts.

Gu Yifan finally led Xinling to the famous Aisen Apartment in a low alley.

On another note, Aisen Apartment appears quite a few times in Love Apartment.

Guan Gu Shenqi, who hasn't appeared yet, also initially booked the Aisen Apartment.

Gu Yifan originally thought it was a serviced apartment, but now it seems to be just an ordinary hotel.

Hmm, I can only say that it's fortunate that Guan Gu didn't go to Aisen Apartment, otherwise he would have suffered an even greater loss. It would have been better if he had been tricked by Lu Ziqiao.

It wasn't particularly good; it was basically no different from a regular small hotel, except for the large sign next to it saying "Foreign Guests Welcome."

No, does this little hotel really have the necessary qualifications?

If Gu Yifan hadn't had the system's guidance, he probably would have gotten lost too, let alone Xinling who had just arrived in Shanghai.

"Here we are, right here."

Xinling breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw the sign for Aisen Apartments.

Although she didn't think Gu Yifan would lie to her, she was still a little uneasy. This unease turned into guilt and gratitude for doubting Gu Yifan.

"Thanks"

"Ok?"

Gu Yifan has heard "thank you" more times in a whole year than he has today; he's almost numb from hearing it so many times.

Seeing Gu Yifan's gaze, Xinling stopped talking, obediently shut her mouth, and stole glances at Gu Yifan with her beautiful eyes.

"Then I'll leave you here. Goodbye." Gu Yifan received the notification that he had completed the task and prepared to leave.

Gu Yifan just left like that.

Xinling paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Please wait a moment."

Gu Yifan turned around and saw Xinling chasing after him in quick steps.

"Anything else?"

Xinling rubbed her hands together and said softly, "Let me treat you to dinner, if that's alright."

"No need for meals."

Gu Yifan shook his head; he was in a hurry to go back and tidy up his room.

But Cyndi was very insistent on this matter.

"Please!"

The two looked at each other, and Gu Yifan succumbed to Xinling's expressive gaze.

The main issue is the system.
You helped a beautiful woman who was visiting the ancient seaside town for the first time find accommodation. She wants to repay your help. You can choose to accept her invitation and she will join your team, or you can refuse against your will. 'You did good deeds without expecting anything in return.'

Gu Yifan: System, are you mocking me? You're the one who's mocking me, you bastard!

Unexpectedly, Cyndi was also able to trigger the team-up.

What are the prerequisites?
Gu Yifan glanced at his phone; it was past five o'clock.

"That's fine."

Seeing that Gu Yifan agreed, Xinling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes lit up, and she said quickly with a bright and cheerful expression, "Then please wait for me. I'll put the things in and come out right away."

"I'll get it for you."

Since you've already agreed, there's no need to be so wishy-washy.

Stepping inside the Aisen Apartments.

There was only one chubby female receptionist at the front desk, who was watching Korean dramas with headphones on.

"Hello." Xinling's voice was weak, and she didn't attract the attention of the female receptionist who was completely focused on the oppa's good looks.

He saw Xinling's pleading look.

"Beep, beep."

Gu Yifan tapped the wooden table a few times.

"Hello!"

That's what caught the other party's attention.

"Who?"

When the female receptionist looked up impatiently, her eyes lit up, all because of the handsome man standing in front of her, whose looks were in no way inferior to the oppas in TV dramas.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

The chubby receptionist's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

"She has a reservation."

Gu Yifan turned to the side, revealing the petite Xinling behind him.

"Oh"

When the receptionist saw Xinling, she immediately felt discouraged, and her tone became indifferent.

"Couples? Long-term or short-term rental, please."

"No, no." Xinling blushed slightly as she explained, "I live alone and I'm renting for two months."

School starts in two months, and she will move to the school. For now, she is staying temporarily while looking for a summer job.

"Name, reservation number." The receptionist's attitude softened a bit when she heard it wasn't two people staying, and she spoke in a businesslike manner.

Gu Yifan stepped back and looked around at the ordinary apartment.

Didn't have to wait long.

Xinling turned around and had a bunch of keys in her hand. She smiled shyly at Gu Yifan, exuding a pure beauty.

She wasn't wearing makeup, and she was already very beautiful without it. It's hard to imagine that if her pretty face were slightly enhanced and she changed her outfit, she might transform from an ugly duckling into a swan.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, the room is on the third floor."

After saying that, perhaps worried that Gu Yifan would be impatient, Xinling added, "I'll just put the luggage in, it'll only take a few minutes."

"It's ok."

Gu Yifan waved his hand.

He seems like a very impatient person.

Little did she know, Gu Yifan's height and indifferent expression put Xinling under a lot of pressure.

Taking the opportunity, he also glanced at the rooms. They were all single rooms with private bathrooms, neither particularly nice nor bad.

It's nowhere near as good as Love Apartment.

This is how Gu Yifan commented.

"You live alone, so please be careful."

"Ok?"

Xinling put the luggage in the room, but then seemed to feel uneasy and turned to put it in the bathroom.

I was stunned when I heard that.

Is this a sign of caring for her?
Xinling nodded immediately and said with a slight smile, "I know, let's go."

As she spoke, Xinling hurriedly took out her wallet and prepared to leave, but saw that Gu Yifan was standing still.

"Are you going to change your clothes?"

Seeing that Xinling was puzzled, Gu Yifan pointed to her clothes and said.

Even through the sweat-soaked short-sleeved shirt, the girl's fair skin could be faintly seen, along with the cleavage that had been stretched taut.

Xinling then realized what she meant and said awkwardly, "Oh, that's true."

Gu Yifan shrugged. "Don't rush me, no one's in a hurry."

Xinling looked at Gu Yifan with a hint of tenderness, nodded and smiled, "Then I'll change my clothes first."

Gu Yifan took a step back and gestured for him to proceed.

Wait until the door is closed.

Cyndi stood there, stretched out her hand, and quietly pressed it against her chest, a hint of emotion appearing in her eyes.

He appeared when she was most helpless.

Is it fate?

Xinling didn't know; all she knew was that the feeling that had sprouted in her heart was called affection.

A budding affection gradually emerged.

Once my heartbeat stabilized a bit.

"Mr. Gu is so thoughtful and gentle."

Xinling walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling slightly frustrated as she resembled an ugly duckling.

But he quickly made up his mind and hurriedly started rummaging through his clothes.

She wants to show her best self.
"This one won't do, how about this one?"
