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

Chapter 318 Qin Yumo Also Wants to Be Younger! Master Hu's Career Plan

Inside the bar.

Hu Yifei went to see off her old classmate.

At the bar, Lin Wanyu was still sulking.

"How shameless and flaunting your charms! You're trying to seduce someone else's boyfriend."

He was faced with Miss Lin's incessant muttering.

Gu Yifan, on the contrary, found it amusing and smiled.

This was the first time he had ever seen Wanyu so furious.

Usually, she can defeat her 'competitors' with dazzling confidence from eight angles and sixteen levels.

Regardless of appearance, family background, career, or talent.

But when he met his old classmate Yifei, he suddenly suffered a major setback.

No matter how outstanding Miss Lin is in other aspects, there is one thing...

She tried her best, but she couldn't defeat her opponent.

Just like how no matter how high a man's education, looks, or career, a simple "I'm older than you" can make him lose his guard.

If you add "average" to that, wow, that's practically real damage plus a critical hit!
"Wanyu, you're not just envious of her figure, are you?"

Lu Ziqiao was constantly teetering on the edge of suicide, and laughed strangely.

Sure enough, Miss Lin reacted strongly. She glared at herself, pointed her finger at her nose, and shouted.

"I envy her! How could I?"

"Ziqiao, what do you mean?"

Lu Ziqiao was still courting disaster, shrugging his shoulders, "It's just what it says, I'm not envious. They've already gone far away, and you're still babbling on and on."

Miss Lin's little scheme was exposed, and she broke down, like a cat with its fur standing on end, still trying to explain herself.

"I'm not envious at all. They're so heavy, it's so uncomfortable to walk in them, and they're prone to sagging! I don't care about them at all!"

Lin Wanyu (pouting, hands on hips): Don't look at me, I'm not envious, I feel the same way!

A voice drifted from the sky: "You can't lie about your inner world."

Lin Wanyu (in despair): Fine, I'm just jealous! What are you going to do about it?!

Lin Wanyu (crouching down and drawing circles): Gu Yifan clearly massaged me, and my little bunny is slowly growing.

"But, but! That woman cheated! Hers is an Angolan Giant Rabbit, and mine is a Dwarf Rabbit!"

"No matter how carefully I feed the little rabbit, it will never grow up! Waaaaah!"

"As you get older, your appearance will change, but at least you'll still have a good figure—that's some consolation!"

Lu Ziqiao shrugged, a roguish grin on his face.

She turned to the side, braced her arm against the bar, and looked at Zhanbo.

"Zhanbo, tell me, do you prefer someone with a good figure or someone who is pretty?"

"Well," Zhanbo hesitated for two seconds, "pretty?"

"Wrong! Zhanbo, you're lying!"

Referee Lü immediately interrupted Zhanbo, pulled out a stopwatch from somewhere, and pretended to take a look at it.

"You hesitated, you wavered, you paused for a full 2.62 seconds before answering!"

"This shows that Zhanbo, you're also conflicted. Deep down, you're also yearning for a hot, curvy woman!" Lu Ziqiao pointed confidently at Zhanbo.

"Right or wrong! No arguing allowed!"

Zhanbo stuck out his neck and retorted instinctively, "Can't I like both of them?"

"Snapped!"

Lu Ziqiao had been waiting for this sentence, so he clapped his hands and looked at Lin Wanyu with a smug expression.

"See? Give it to me."

"Zhanbo, how could someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes betray us?" Lin Wanyu's face flushed with anger. "What did you bring?"

“You lost the bet, one hundred yuan,” Lu Ziqiao said matter-of-factly.

Miss Lin's eyes widened. "When did I make a bet with you?"

Lu Ziqiao argued vehemently, "You questioned me, which, according to the rules of the underworld, was like making a bet with me. Now I've proven you lost."

"Unless you can also prove that there are men who don't like a good figure and only like a pretty face, then let's just forget about it."

When it comes to sophistry, ten Lin Wanyus combined wouldn't be a match for Lü Ziqiao.

This kid can turn black into white and the dead into the living without batting an eye.

Lin Wanyu subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan, who had been watching from the sidelines, immediately said without hesitation, "My favorite person is Wanyu. I like you no matter how tall or short you are or how thin or fat you are. Besides, I think inner beauty is far more important than outer beauty."

As he spoke, Gu Yifan leaned close to Miss Lin's ear and whispered, "Actually, Wanyu, your slender hand is just right."

Miss Lin is the bamboo shoot type.

Firm and elastic.

Gu Yifan admired the tenacious spirit of bamboo shoots, which break through the soil and rise up, embodying the tenacity of life.

Of course, another point is that Cyndi and Mrs. Zhuge's figures are no worse than Yifei's.

Each has its own merits.

Miss Lin blushed immediately after hearing Gu Yifan's whisper.

But instead of getting angry, she gave Gu Yifan a sweet kiss and gave him another quick kiss.

With a mix of shyness and joy, she said happily.

"Hehe, I knew you liked it, otherwise why would I always say 'Ziqiao, you lost! Pay up!'"

Miss Lin almost blurted out some things she shouldn't have said.

Fortunately, she realized what was happening and turned around to reach out to Ziqiao triumphantly.

Ziqiao shrugged, having another excuse, "I didn't say earlier that Yifan doesn't count."

Lin Wanyu's eyes widened. "Why?!"

"Because he's your boyfriend."

Lu Ziqiao rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "He dares to praise other girls in front of you? Your old man would sink him in Victoria Harbour."

Lin Wanyu's mood, which had initially brightened, suddenly turned cloudy again.

At this moment, Gu Yifan, who was watching the commotion, tried to smooth things over.

"Don't listen to that old pervert Ziqiao's nonsense. Everyone's aesthetic is different."

"I really don't like it. Besides, I guess all of Yifei's old classmates are married by now."

"How did you know?" Lu Ziqiao asked instinctively.

"I can hear it," Gu Yifan said with a smile. "My hearing has always been very good. Even standing in 3601, I can hear the conversation in 3602."

Lu Ziqiao was immediately amused. He didn't believe it. How could the bar still be playing music from so far away?

"Old Gu, do you think you have super hearing? I don't believe it. Zhanbo, do you?"

Zhanbo shook his head, his face also showing disbelief.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. According to science, human hearing is actually not very developed; in fact, it's much weaker than that of many animals."

Gu Yifan: Oh, you've got quite the nerve.

The opportunity to punish Ziqiao and help Miss Lin get revenge has arrived.

"Don't be too certain about anything. How about we make a bet?" Gu Yifan said with a mischievous grin.

"What are we betting on?" Lu Ziqiao immediately accepted the challenge.

This was purely an instinctive reaction.

However, after accepting the challenge, seeing Gu Yifan's confident expression, Lu Ziqiao felt a little regretful.

He's been tricked by Gu Yifan too many times; he's scared of being tricked again.

"I'll bet on whether Yifei is married, has children, and how old her children are," Gu Yifan said calmly.

"If you're scared, you can forget about it."

Lu Ziqiao's expression changed several times before he finally nodded.

“I bet you, I think she’s not married and probably doesn’t have any children.”

"She and Yifei are classmates. Yifei doesn't even have a boyfriend yet, how could she possibly be getting married?"

Besides, Lu Ziqiao had noticed her earlier; she had a voluptuous figure and wasn't wearing a wedding ring.

Zhanbo, however, shook his head, "I don't gamble."

"What, Zhanbo, are you scared?" Ziqiao asked.

Zhanbo shook his head vigorously, insisting, "I've never gambled since I was a child, that's wrong."

“Zhanbo, you’re right to do this,” Gu Yifan affirmed.

He glanced sideways at Ziqiao and said, "Don't learn bad habits from that guy."

Ziqiao rolled his eyes and pointed to the door, saying, "Yifei is back. Just ask her."

What are you whispering about?

Back at the bar.

Ms. Hu's tone was somewhat impatient, mainly because of her classmate, Xiao Bo.

Xiao Bo was just feeling regretful.

Wow, the guys in Love Apartment are all so handsome! I wish I had moved here myself.

Hu Yifei found it very annoying, which dampened the joy of seeing her old classmates.

Any girl would be angry if she heard someone spying on her man.

But Hu Yifei couldn't get angry, so she just brushed it off casually, saying that Gu Yifan had a girlfriend and the two had a good relationship, and that she shouldn't say such things.

Xiaobo then said she came out to buy diapers for her child and had to go back to take care of the baby, so they could only make an appointment for another time.

Hu Yifei: No way! There won't be a next time!

just
Hu Yifei couldn't understand how the phrases "three years of divorce" and "child is six months old" could be combined.

Did she mishear?
At the bar, Ms. Hu exclaimed, "It's too small, it's just too small."

Lu Ziqiao's eyes widened. "Wow, this is still young?"

Hu Yifei scoffed, "I always said the world is too small, it's just a circle. I never expected to run into a classmate."

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground drew closer, followed by a clear, melodious female voice like that of a nightingale.

"Everyone is there."

Ms. Qin, who had just finished her early shift, also arrived at the bar. She saw a crowd gathered at the bar counter.

Qin Yumo smiled slightly; she knew everyone would be here.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

"Yu Mo, you're back just in time." Hu Yifei, who was still marveling at the exciting news she had heard, excitedly grabbed Qin Yu Mo's hand and said mysteriously.

Guess who I just ran into!

"Who is it?" Qin Yumo asked with a gentle smile.

She knew that Yifei would definitely be unable to hold back and tell.

Sure enough, without pausing for a second, Hu Yifei exclaimed excitedly.

"It's Xiaobo."

"Xiaobo?"

Long-forgotten memories resurfaced in Qin Yumo's mind.

She thought for a moment, "That girl who's as thin as a bamboo pole? The one the guys call 'airport girl'?"

"Of course, but her figure is completely different now. She's incredibly voluptuous, almost as big as yours, Yu Mo."

Ms. Hu chuckled and said that jokes just come to her lips.

Qin Yumo blushed and patted Hu Yifei's arm, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's true." Hu Yifei said with emotion.

"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up. I almost didn't recognize her. I guess she probably wouldn't recognize you either."

"By the way, did you know that she's married?"

"Pfft—what?"

The question came from Lü Ziqiao, who was drinking a beverage through a straw. He spat out a mouthful of soda and stared wide-eyed.

"get married?!"

Lu Ziqiao opened his mouth wide and looked at Gu Yifan suspiciously. Was he just guessing?
"They got married, why are you so excited? Lu Ziqiao, I advise you to put away your little thoughts."

Hu Yifei had long seen through Ziqiao's dishonest intentions and sneered, "Besides, his child is already six months old."

"Wow, she must be living a very happy life," Qin Yumo said enviously.

As I get older, my maternal love begins to overflow.

Many people who say they don't want to get married or have children when they are young, regardless of gender, seem to gradually change their minds after the age of 25.

This is related to human genes, after all, the ability to reproduce is ingrained in our very being.

Sometimes, Qin Yumo wondered if it was worth it to waste several years of her youth on work.

But then again.

People used to say that girls who are well-hydrated look several years younger.

Miss Qin didn't believe it at first, but seeing that she was becoming more and more energetic every day and looked younger, not like a twenty-six or twenty-seven-year-old, but rather like a young and beautiful woman just starting out.

And then there's Wanyu, whose face is full of collagen, making her look like a porcelain doll.

Qin Yumo believed it.

But why don't other people around me have this change?
Gu Yifan noticed that Qin Yumo would glance at him from time to time.

But why does that look in his eyes seem a little strange?
Little did he know, Qin Yumo was treating him like a 'special skincare product'.

"what."

Ms. Hu pursed her lips, her joy at meeting her old classmate, and the fact that she seemed to be having a lot of fun with her classmate, a female playboy, and even coveting her man.

The conflicting emotions left her feeling conflicted.

"She got divorced three years ago." Hu Yifei deliberately revealed this information.

Lu Ziqiao, who had just been in despair, suddenly perked up again, but then, as if remembering something, he slumped down again.

He didn't mind the divorced young woman.

But as for those who take over someone else's business and become an unwitting father, that's one thing. Lu Ziqiao always keeps his distance from such people to avoid getting into trouble.

"Huh?" Qin Yumo stammered, "That's really unfortunate."

"Wait a moment."

Lin Wanyu noticed the problem and wondered, "That woman divorced three years ago, how come she has a six-month-old child?"

Everyone fell silent.

"Pfft." Miss Lin laughed first, her gloom vanishing. This kind of woman was not worthy of being a threat to her at all.

Lin Wanyu can rest assured that Gu Yifan would not be interested in this kind of woman.

Zhanbo, on the other hand, looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"You're married and have a child. How old is the child, Brother Gu? Do you have super hearing?"

"My hearing has improved a bit." Gu Yifan shrugged and held out his hand to Lü Ziqiao. "Here's the money, two hundred yuan."

"Damn, why? It's not a hundred."

Ziqiao suddenly realized.

"There's still a hundred left, that's your bet with Wanyu."

Gu Yifan calmly explained.

“I said ‘inner beauty is more important than outer beauty,’ and you still questioned whether it was because I’m Wanyu’s boyfriend that I said that. Now, is body shape still important?”

Hearing Gu Yifan's ambiguous smile.

Lu Ziqiao's expression changed several times, and his old face turned red.

Even if he were extremely envious of a woman like Xiao Bo, he wouldn't dare to touch her.

Finally, Lu Ziqiao reluctantly took out his wallet, painfully pulling out a hundred-yuan bill, a fifty-yuan bill, and a bunch of loose change.

"That's all I have... I'm honored to accept the bet, it's all yours."

Meijia not only returned all the money that Lu Ziqiao 'won' from Guangu, but also returned 30,000 yuan that she somehow got her hands on.

Now I can say I'm penniless.

They were so poor they couldn't even afford to eat, but Lu Ziqiao, true to his carefree nature, didn't worry at all and continued to eat, drink, and have fun.

Gu Yifan glanced at the pile of loose change and pursed his lips.

"Fine, I'll take the hundred. I'll treat everyone to drinks and leave you some money for tomorrow's meal."

It's impossible not to take it; you have to accept the consequences of your bet.

Lu Ziqiao chuckled and put away the change. "Thanks, brother."

Gu Yifan: Look, he even thanked me.

Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo were quite surprised after hearing this, "Are your hearing skills that good?"

As she spoke, Hu Yifei's cheeks flushed.

If she lowered her voice, wouldn't that kid hear everything she said, including the whispers and the others?

"Hmm, Yifei, do you want to take a gamble too?" Gu Yifan asked cheerfully.

Hu Yifei really wanted to try, so she took Miss Qin's hand and walked to the side.

"Yu Mo, come on, let's go over there and have a chat."

Everyone watched curiously as the two women walked away, about five meters away.

Hu Yifei said something to Qin Yumo, and Qin Yumo looked surprised.

At this distance, both Zhanbo and Lü Ziqiao said they couldn't hear what was being said.

Hu Yifei came over after she finished talking to Qin Yumo.

Before I could even ask.

Gu Yifan asked with a surprised expression, "Yifei, you're going to take the doctoral entrance exam?"

That's right, Hu Yifei just told Qin Yumo that she's preparing to take the doctoral entrance exam.

That's why Miss Qin was so surprised.

"Wow, really?" Ms. Hu exclaimed in surprise, patting Gu Yifan with satisfaction. "Good lad, you've really got some skills."

No wonder he's the man Hu Yifei has her eye on; he's better than everyone else in every way.

As for pursuing a doctorate, Hu Yifei openly admitted that she did indeed have this idea.

"It's not interesting to just be a counselor or career guidance teacher at school. I'm going to find something meaningful to do."

"So that means pursuing a doctorate?" Gu Yifan's expression was strange. If Yifei really did pursue a doctorate, she would be the most highly educated person in this small circle.

"That's right, what, do you have a problem with that?" Ms. Hu was actually a little guilty.

She made the decision without asking Gu Yifan's opinion. Of course, she was in charge of her own life, but Ms. Hu was still a little guilty.

"No objection at all, I support you pursuing a doctorate." Gu Yifan smiled and said, "When I go out in the future, I can proudly boast to others that I know a female PhD."

Hu Yifei's pretty face flushed slightly for a moment.

Her gaze towards Gu Yifan was slightly flushed, but she quickly concealed it.

"Just support me, why make it sound so mushy?" Hu Yifei muttered shyly.

"By the way, no one is allowed to tell Zeng Xiaoxian about this," Hu Yifei emphasized.

"Why?" Lu Ziqiao had already taken out his phone.

"What are you doing? So fast? You quick-draw maniac!" Hu Yifei shouted angrily.

"What?" Lu Ziqiao grinned and showed his phone screen.

"I'll change your contact name to Dr. Hu, is that alright?"

Lu Ziqiao: Ahem, actually, I was planning to change it to 'Dr. Pepper,' how about that, is it a good fit?

"Get lost."

Hu Yifei lightly kicked Zi Qiao's shin and said warily, "Don't think I don't know you're up to no good."

"You're just like that slut Zeng Xiaoxian, both of you are rotten to the core. Don't let me find out you're talking bad about me behind my back, or you'll be sorry!"

Everyone supports Yifei's desire to pursue further studies in academia.

This made Ms. Hu, who was initially hesitant, finally make up her mind.

To obtain the highest academic degree.

A system notification sounded in Gu Yifan's ear:
[With the arrival of many powerful beings such as Fairy Lin, the Dragon Girl, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy, this place was transformed.]

[Hall Master Hu realized that although she was among the top ten experts in Binhai City, compared to the vast Eastern Wilderness Continent, where experts were as numerous as clouds, she was nothing special.]

At the same time, Master Hu understood that the gap in strength between her and you was already very small. If she didn't work harder, she might fall far behind you and find it difficult to keep up.

[Please help Master Hu complete his career plan and break through his cultivation level in seclusion to receive generous rewards.]
