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

Chapter 309 A Smile That Could Topple a City, Lisa: There really are geniuses in this world!

Xu Hongdou never expected that she and Gu Yifan would be so destined for each other.

We've met twice in a row; if we consider this the first time we've been connected, then...

"Hehe, they're all the same." Chen Nanxing was very excited.

It feels like I might bump into someone I know here.

"He can sing too? I heard you say that Mr. Gu is a young entrepreneur."

Xu Hongdou stared intently at Gu Yifan on the stage, her heart pounding involuntarily. She pursed her lips and answered absentmindedly.

"Then who knows."

Chen Nanxing secretly observed her best friend's expression and suddenly said.

"Red Bean, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on him, would you?"

"What?" Xu Hongdou shuddered and turned to look at her best friend.

"Then why are you staring at him like that?" Chen Nanxing asked slyly.

"I just think it's a coincidence," Xu Hongdou explained, her face slightly flushed.

"It's quite a coincidence. Even your first meeting felt like a scene from a novel where a domineering CEO saves a junior employee," Chen Nanxing said playfully, clasping her hands together in a gesture of appreciation.

"South Star!"

"Oh, I was just saying." Seeing her best friend blush, Chen Nanxing knew perfectly well what was going on and chuckled, "Now do you still want to leave?"

Xu Hongdou blushed and remained silent. She was also very curious about Mr. Gu's singing ability. How well did he sing?
"Then let's stay and listen, and then go say hello to him later," Chen Nanxing said to himself.

Gu Yifan was unaware that he had unexpectedly run into Xu Hongdou again—no, she was still the Zhao Ling'er recognized by the system.

His simple smile brought the atmosphere to a climax.

In the audience, Lisa's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "Yifan was truly born to stand on the stage."

Just then, the staff member came running back, panting.

"Lisa, we bought the guitar you wanted from a music store in the mall."

Upon hearing this, Lisa immediately said, "Why don't you send it up to him? He can sing and play the guitar if he wants to later."

"Yes." The miserable staff member nodded.

Jury seat.

"Another original song? Xiao Gu, you're not being honest. You said it was just a hobby," Liu Kai joked.

"Then we'll look forward to your original songs."

Gu Yifan nodded, his gaze falling on Miss Lin below, who was both extremely shy and delighted, and said gently.

"This song is called 'A Smile That Could Topple a City,' and it's dedicated to the girl I fell in love with at first sight."

The staff seized the opportunity and ran onto the stage to hand the guitar to Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan was somewhat surprised by this.

With so many audience members, it's not easy to gain recognition just by singing a cappella; it's too monotonous.

Having a guitar makes all the difference.

The previously lively atmosphere quieted down as Gu Yifan took the guitar.

The general public has high expectations for this.

If you want your performance to be captivating, starting directly with the chorus is the most effective way.

Gu Yifan did the same.

"I admit that her smile is captivating and unforgettable."

"To say my love is as deep as the sea, I dare not accept such praise."

"Nothing is more romantic than watching the sunset side by side with you."

"Where my heart leads."

The heavenly sound is activated!

As soon as Gu Yifan’s deep voice came through the microphone, it immediately echoed around the stage.

It's so tingly it gives you goosebumps.

Some girls even held their breath, instantly captivated by Gu Yifan's pure voice.

Lin Wanyu covered her face, her cheeks turning as red as pink bubbles, her heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

There was only one thought in my mind.

—This is a song that Gu Yifan wrote especially for her!

Jury seat.

"That sounds nice." Liu Kai's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

The other three did not object, which directly demonstrates Gu Yifan's skill level.

The emotion in the song is far superior to that of the plagiarizing pretty boy from before.

A strong person doesn't need to use the same song to prove themselves; they only need to prove themselves with their abilities.

On stage, Gu Yifan then picked up his guitar, playing light and rhythmic tunes, tapping his toes to the beat, and singing softly.

I always tell you my wish in a lighthearted way.

"And to you, a gaze that cannot be expressed in a thousand words."

There are always people in this world busy searching for treasure.

"But they missed the fleeting glory of the world and the myriad aspects of human life."

The upbeat rhythm and romantic lyrics combine perfectly.

It feels like I'm back on campus in the summer.

Gradually, most of the customers in the mall gathered around.

Some people from other floors leaned over the railings, curiously watching from below.

Lin Wanyu felt that Gu Yifan was shining right now!
Your smile is like a ray of light, suddenly illuminating my life.

"A gentle breeze blows, summer is not yet over, bicycles hum along the tree-lined path."

So this is what love is like!

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were surrounded in the middle.

I had to stand on tiptoe to barely see Gu Yifan on the stage.

Even so, neither of them felt uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Chen Nanxing, who had been chattering away just moments before, fell silent, his eyes sparkling with rapture.

"So handsome. So beautiful."

Xu Hongdou let her best friend hold her hand tightly, but her heart was still in turmoil.

Her thin, cicada-wing-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, her eyes fixed intently on the person on the stage.

Involuntarily, memories of her two previous encounters with Gu Yifan flashed through her mind.

Although brief.

But it has already successfully left a mark on Xu Hongdou's heart, and it continues to grow.

On the stage.

[Radiant, Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa, increases your favorability towards you by +5]

[Your favorability towards Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa, increases by 7.]

Current favorability rating: 42

[You unintentionally combined the enchanting talent of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan with your heavenly voice, successfully leaving a deep impression on passersby, amplifying the effect! Reputation +500]

Gu Yifan was so focused that he didn't pay any attention to the system notifications.

He could only see Miss Lin's reflection.

Regardless, Lin Wanyu holds a very unique place in Gu Yifan's heart.

She said that Gu Yifan saved her and led her to find the 'treasure' and the Love Apartment.

But Gu Yifan was also grateful that the first thing he saw when he woke up was Miss Lin.

She is his treasure girl.

The lyrics also incorporate the author's feelings for Miss Lin.

"I want to travel the world with you, enjoying the scenery in both sunshine and rain."

"I want to spend the rest of our lives together, with paper and pen in hand."

"We share laughter and tears; no matter how dramatic the plot, we'll never part ways."

With one last strum of the strings, Gu Yifan put down the guitar.

I waited a few seconds.

Instead of enthusiastic applause, everyone was bewildered.

What's going on? Gu Yifan was stunned. Was he too shocked? Did he not understand, or was it just too bad?

A few seconds later, the crowd began to stir.

"Gone?"

"You've only sung halfway through! Keep going!!!"

"That's right, let's finish the song in the second half."

Gu Yifan: "."

Didn't they say we only needed to sing half of it?

The crowd watching below the stage was furious.

Singing so well, why not finish? What's the difference between this and writing a novel and then entering the palace halfway through?

The crowd was extremely agitated, and there was a strong tendency to protest.

However, this also proves from another angle that Gu Yifan sang very successfully.

It wasn't just young women; other men and middle-aged people also had their own insights.

Memories of my school days flooded my mind.

That's why when you're interrupted, you feel like you haven't quite moved on.

Just when everyone was hoping that Gu Yifan would finish singing.

A round of applause suddenly broke out.

It was contestant number five, Xu Song, staring intently at Gu Yifan, clapping his hands loudly.

Now, whether they liked it or not, everyone clapped enthusiastically, and the applause was thunderous.

Undeniably, this song is really good.

The awkward and quiet atmosphere eased.

Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, he wouldn't have known whether to continue singing.

Wouldn't that make him seem dull?

After the applause subsided.

"Ahem. Xiao Gu, why did you only sing half of it and then stop?" On the judges' panel, Liu Kai picked up the microphone and commented with a hint of resentment.

"I was really into it, and now it's gone! You have to compensate me!"

These words resonated with the onlookers.

If you sing well, sing more, you bastard!

You cut my poop in halfway through, are you even human?!

Gu Yifan scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "The production team said that all we need to do is sing a chorus."

Now the production team has also become the target of criticism.

The atmosphere gradually became cheerful.

Down in the audience, Lisa's eyes sparkled, but she wasn't angry. On the contrary, she only had one thought in her mind.

How can we get Gu Yifan to continue participating in the next round of competition?
"This song is undoubtedly amazing; only a young person who has just fallen in love could write it," Du Kun said, giving a thumbs up and flashing his white teeth.

"I was wondering why you didn't sing 'Get Closer,' and now I see, this is the best proof."

This statement resonated with the general public; does it even need proof? Absolutely not.

“But I’m curious now, what does that song ‘Approaching’ sound like? Why don’t you sing a bit, Xiao Fan?” Wu Ying chimed in with a smile.

Seeing that the onlookers around them were also joining in the chorus, it seemed like they were turning the talent show into Gu Yifan's personal concert.

Gu Yifan quickly said, "If you four teachers do this, the production team will come after me."

"There are still many contestants to come, so let's keep our expectations high for them."

Wu Ying pursed her lips. There were many contestants, but how many were truly professional?

Especially someone of Gu Yifan's caliber, there probably isn't one.

I feel so sad; this money really wasn't easy to earn.

"It will definitely pass without a doubt. I personally think it has no flaws. If there are any, they are my flaws," Zhang Huanhuan said with a smile.

But the evaluation he gave came from the bottom of his heart.

Few singers can perform this well live; even professional singers wouldn't dare say they have no problems with their performance.

This is strength.

Liu Kai chimed in, "Xiao Fan, let me know in advance when you're releasing an album, so we don't clash and make this old man feel awkward."

"Hey, who just said they were still young?"

Gu Yifan smiled and said, "Teacher Liu Kai is indeed still young."

He bowed and stepped down from the stage.

The onlookers, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, gradually began to disperse.

Occasionally, someone would regret, "Damn, I forgot to record a video."

It's conceivable that this song would become even more popular if it were posted online.

Gu Yifan: I offered my heart to the bright moon; I really didn't want to become famous.

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Gu Yifan saw a pretty young woman standing there with her hands behind her back, waiting.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Miss Lin stared at him with her big, watery eyes, not blinking.

"Wanyu."

Gu Yifan stopped, opened his arms, and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

The girl could no longer contain herself, cheered, rushed forward, and threw herself into Gu Yifan's arms.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Gu Yifan, I love you! I love you to death!!!"

Miss Lin writhed in Gu Yifan's arms, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

The onlookers looked on with envy, and occasionally a few Shanghai aunties would point and whisper about the couple with fond smiles.

But Gu Yifan only felt dizzy and lightheaded.

There was no other reason than that when Lin Wanyu jumped, her fair forehead happened to hit his chin hard.

Hiss. Fairy Lin, are you trying to murder your husband?

When Lisa arrived, she saw Gu Yifan sitting in a chair, clutching his chin in pain.

Beside her, Lin Wanyu, looking embarrassed, gently comforted Gu Yifan by linking her arm with his.

"Gu Yifan, are you alright? I didn't mean to."

"I think you're trying to murder your husband," Gu Yifan said, his words slurred as he bit his tongue.

This almost made Lin Wanyu burst out laughing; she lowered her head and her shoulders kept shaking.

"How did our great singer get injured?" Lisa asked, a smile appearing on her usually serious face.

"Lisa, you're here."

Lin Wanyu turned her head and saw Lisa walking over, so she greeted her with a smile.

"Yeah, Yifan, you sing so well. Nuolan didn't even tell me before, really," Lisa said jokingly.

"It's nothing special," Gu Yifan said with a smile, waving his hand.

“If you’re just average, then there aren’t many good singers in the world.” Lisa shook her head, thinking Gu Yifan was being too modest.

She can compose and write her own songs, sings so well, and is good-looking; she's simply born to be a singer.

Gu Yifan, being one of their own, knew his own situation. He was far from being the genius Lisa thought he was, and becoming a star was not part of his plans.

Even if they were to become one, they should be star entrepreneurs.

They themselves are the kind of capital.

Instead of being controlled by capital.

"By the way, Yifan, what do you think of this show? Do you have any opinions? You can tell me."

Lisa mentioned another reason she came.

Gu Yifan's ability to design a program on his own, and a very good one at that, demonstrates his capabilities.

Lisa wanted to ask him if there was anything that could be improved, or if he had any suggestions.

It might take this show to the next level.

"Lisa: I put 200% effort into every show! Otherwise, how would I have earned my reputation as a top producer?"

Zeng Xiaoxian walked by with an ice pop in his mouth.

Lisa's face darkened, and she pulled out a handgun from somewhere: Bang!

Lisa: Except for this loser! He's utterly hopeless!

Gu Yifan thought about it and realized that the title of the show, "Super Boy," couldn't be changed.

It can only be boys; we can't just invite a bunch of girls to the stage.

However, there are areas for improvement.

"I do have some ideas. I'll write them down for you when I have time."

Gu Yifan did not immediately offer any advice.

He plans to go back and brainstorm ideas for a new program, which he will then submit to Nolan.

Then let Nolan give it to Lisa, so that Nolan will naturally also get some credit.

Gu Yifan went to great lengths to help his sister advance her career.

"Okay, thank you so much." Lisa's eyes lit up. She had only asked the question, but she didn't expect Gu Yifan to actually have an idea.

He truly deserves to be called a young genius; his mind is quick and sharp.

Lisa is now very glad that she established good relationships with Nuolan and Gu Yifan from the beginning.

Gu Yifan glanced at his watch; it was already past five in the afternoon. He then said goodbye.

"Lisa, you're busy, we'll be going now."

Lisa nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll let you know when it's time for the second round of interviews."

"Huh?" Gu Yifan was taken aback and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, I'm just participating in the preliminary rounds for fun, I'm not going."

Upon hearing this, Lisa frowned, "Why aren't you coming? You're so popular, you were born to be on stage."

"I don't have time," Gu Yifan shrugged, "I have a lot of work to do and I have to go to school."

Lisa: I just realized that he is actually a college student.

Seeing Gu Yifan shake his head, looking unwilling, Lisa gave him a deep look but didn't try to persuade him any further.

They asked a staff member to get Gu Yifan a bottle of chilled mineral water and watched him leave.

However, it's not that simple to get Lisa to give up.

This can be seen from her obsession with Lü Ziqiao.

As Lisa turned to walk back, a staff member who was waiting nearby came up and asked, "Should we notify him again for the second round of interviews?"

"Notify him, we absolutely must notify him." Lisa thought for a moment, "Leave the rest to me, I'll handle him!"

Lisa happens to know that there is someone who is Gu Yifan's nemesis.

Just wait, this isn't over yet!

Just as Gu Yifan was thinking to himself that he had hit the jackpot.

"Mr. Gu?"

Xu Hongdou, who had been lingering around, saw Gu Yifan walking out with a beautiful stranger. After hesitating, she went up to greet him.

Gu Yifan stopped in his tracks, and a pretty face resembling Liu Tianxian came into view, her expression slightly reserved.

"Miss Xu? What a coincidence, we've met again."

Seeing that Gu Yifan knew this unfamiliar girl, Lin Wanyu became more curious and looked at Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing who walked up.

Although Chen Nanxing was pretty, she wasn't outstanding and was directly rejected by Lin Wanyu.

But Xu Hongdou was different. Today, she finally had a day off, and after carefully dressing up, she showed off her stunning beauty.

You know, most people can be considered beautiful if they have a resemblance to Liu Yifei, and now there's a younger version of Liu Yifei standing right in front of you.

"Sister, you're so beautiful!" Lin Wanyu blurted out.

Xu Hongdou was taken aback and turned to look at the girl next to Gu Yifan.

Seeing Lin Wanyu staring at her with wide, admiring eyes, Xu Hongdou felt a little shy and nodded, "Hello~"

"Gu Yifan, when did you meet such a beautiful older sister? You didn't even tell me?" Lin Wanyu's smiling eyes carried a hint of danger.

The subconscious mind understands perfectly.

"Who is this woman? Tell me the truth, or you'll regret it!"
