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

Chapter 319 The Real and Fake Xiaoxian - Episode 600!

Everyone chatted and laughed until it was time for dinner.

Gu Yifan waved his hand and said it was his treat to a meal at a restaurant.

Call Mika Sekiya and ask them to come downstairs.

Everyone laughed and shouted "Long live!"

"By the way, can I ask a friend?" Ziqiao asked Gu Yifan, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"Friends?" Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "Little Black downstairs?"

Gu Yifan knew about the seven Bai brothers, the seven Calabash Brothers, but he had never seen them all; he had only seen one of them.

Gu Yifan pretended that Xiao Hei was just one person.

"No, no, no, Xiao Hei has social anxiety and is a total shut-in, he won't come out." Lu Ziqiao waved his hand and said with a grin, "You know the one I'm talking about."

"I know him?" Gu Yifan asked, puzzled.

Does Lü Ziqiao have other friends?
Isn't this guy best at stealing other people's girlfriends? Which man would dare to be friends with Lu Ziqiao?

"That's right, you'll see when we get here," Lu Ziqiao said mysteriously.

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes and put her arm around Gu Yifan's shoulder. "Lu Ziqiao, you're planning to eat and take, huh? Don't bring any of your cronies!"

Lin Wanyu, on the other side, linked arms with Gu Yifan and chimed in, "Yes, and those shady women too!"

Although the Xiao Bo incident has ended, Miss Lin has come to realize just how outrageous those scumbag women can be.

She'd better keep a close eye on Gu Yifan.

Qin Yumo looked at the two girls standing next to Gu Yifan without any sense of incongruity, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It's all thanks to Gu Yifan's good looks, otherwise, this kind of thing would never have happened if it were a different guy.

"Fine, go ahead and call me." Gu Yifan nodded in agreement.

He believed that Ziqiao wouldn't choose someone who would ruin the atmosphere.

Although Lu Ziqiao always borrows money from others, it's always a small amount, a hundred or two hundred at most; he still has a good sense of propriety.

Or rather, everyone in the apartment is very sensible and won't do anything too outrageous.

Although everyone has different professions and incomes vary.

There are unemployed people like Ziqiao and Meijia, or middle-class people like Yifei and Teacher Zeng, and high-income earners like Guangu and Zhanbo.

And then there are people like Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu who are extremely wealthy.

Logically speaking, people from different circles should find it difficult to get along.

The reason they can get along is that everyone is very sensible and doesn't look down on anyone because someone is poor, or fawn over Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu because they are rich.

We should treat each other as equals.

Lin Wanyu wasn't arrogant, and Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian were kind-hearted. They were all young people, so they got along well.

That's how we can play together.

Gu Yifan really liked this kind of atmosphere.

This is why, even though he is wealthy enough to easily buy those multi-million dollar mansions and villas and move out to live a life of just the two of them with Wanyu, he still chooses to live in an apartment.

"Thanks." Lu Ziqiao gave an OK sign and happily made the call.

Coincidentally.

As the group left the bar, they ran into Zeng Xiaoxian, who was returning home.

"Teacher Zeng? Why are you only just getting back?" Zhanbo greeted him, asking curiously.

"Teacher Zeng heard that you were kept after school by Lisa~ Looks like a good thing?" Lin Wanyu asked with a smile.

Zeng Xiaoxian beamed and gave a thumbs-up, "It has to be Boss Wanyu, she's so right! Lisa informed me of two great things!"

"By the way, are you guys heading out?"

"Let's go eat, it's on me, come along, Teacher Zeng." Gu Yifan put his arm around Zeng Xiaoxian's shoulder and said with a smile.

"No, this meal is on me!" Zeng Xiaoxian said, overjoyed.

"Wow!" Zhanbo exclaimed in surprise, "It seems that Teacher Zeng has really encountered some good news."

"That's right, I'll tell you later." Zeng Xiaoxian beamed with pride, looking like he couldn't wait to announce it. He then asked, "Where are we going to eat?"

"Little South Country!"

Several people said in unison.

Zeng Xiaoxian's smile instantly froze. "Little South Kingdom?"

"What's wrong? It's just a small southern country, why are you making such a face?" Miss Qin teased.

Zeng Xiaoxian felt a pang of heartache, thinking: How could it not be that bad!
A meal at Xiao Nan Guo for two people costs two or three hundred yuan. This was in 2007, when many people's salaries were less than one or two thousand yuan.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange has its own currency, the Shanghai Currency.

If he treats so many people to dinner, he's doomed. All the money he earned this month will be wasted.

Zeng Xiaoxian looked bitter, but since he had already said it, he couldn't lose face, so he had no choice but to swallow his pride and force a smile.

"Let's call it Xiao Nan Guo then. Consider it a celebration for my show's 600th episode tomorrow."

"Six hundred episodes? Your hypnosis show has that many episodes already?" Ms. Hu exclaimed in surprise.

Zeng Xiaoxian: "."

"Congratulations, Teacher Zeng! No wonder you're so happy," Lin Wanyu replied. "This is truly a great thing to celebrate."

"Wanyu, speak more when you can speak properly, I love to hear it," Zeng Xiaoxian said immediately, beaming with delight, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Wanyu can speak, so who can't?

Gu Yifan: Well, let's rule out Zhanbo first.

"Let me treat you to this meal. After all, you still need to advertise for Under One Person. Consider it a celebration of the manga's great sales."

Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Zeng Xiaoxian was relieved and grateful, thinking, "Good brother!"

"Then I'll treat you and Wanyu to dinner after I get my bonus," Zeng Xiaoxian said shyly.

The main problem is that Xiao Nan Guo's expenses are too high; he really can't afford to invite her.

In addition, Zeng Xiaoxian specifically excluded Hu Yifei, which was probably revenge against her.

Ms. Hu rolled her eyes at this.

She's too lazy to eat even when I invite her, so if you don't want to invite her, fine!
Inside a private room at Xiao Nan Guo.

Not long after, upon hearing that they were being treated to a big meal, Guan Gu and Mei Jia rushed over.

"Smith Marseille, we're late," Guan Gu said as he pushed open the door.

"No, we just arrived too." Gu Yifan handed over the menu. "Order whatever you want, don't be shy."

Gu Yifan was very curious. There were two rebate participants present, Yifei and Wanyu. How would the system provide rebates?

Should they be separated, merged, or only one returned?

That's something to look forward to!

"By the way, Yifan, why are you suddenly treating us to dinner? Is there some good news?" Meijia didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Yifan. She ordered two of her favorite dishes, handed the menu to Wanyu, and asked.

“This isn’t to celebrate Teacher Zeng’s 600th episode.” Gu Yifan pointed at Zeng Xiaoxian.

Zeng Xiaoxian proudly puffed out his chest.

"That's it?" Mika was slightly disappointed, muttering, "I thought it was going to be an engagement."

Gu Yifan: "."

Zeng Xiaoxian: "."

Lin Wanyu: Covering face
Guan Gu nudged Mei Jia's arm, and Mei Jia then realized what was happening and added with an embarrassed laugh.

"Of course, I'm not saying, Teacher Zeng, that your show hasn't been surprising enough after 600 episodes."

"Hey, when we reach the 800th, no, the 1000th episode, we absolutely have to throw a big party, with ten or eight tables!"

Meijia gave a dry laugh, unable to continue speaking.

Zeng Xiaoxian, with a deadpan expression, sighed, "Hehe. Thanks."

He gave up.

Sure enough, it was just me.

No one can truly understand how difficult and challenging it was for "Your Moon, My Heart" to reach a total of 600 episodes.

"Besides," Gu Yifan thought for a moment and said, "my birthday is in two days, so let's celebrate it early."

"Birthday?!" ×2
Lin Wanyu and Hu Yifei both exclaimed in surprise.

"Why didn't you tell us?" ×2
"Hey, you guys don't understand, men don't really celebrate their birthdays, right, Yifan?" Lu Ziqiao interjected.

Lin Wanyu reacted strongly.

"How can this be? This is the first important day we've spent together since we got together."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Hu Yifei nodded subconsciously.

He then realized he shouldn't have complied, and coughed to make amends.

"This is also your first birthday since you moved in, Yifan. Everyone should send you their blessings."

In fact, even if Ms. Hu hadn't added that sentence, no one would have thought there was a problem.

"No need for that," Gu Yifan shook his head.

“Then I’ll spend your birthday with you,” Lin Wanyu said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay." Gu Yifan nodded first, then added, "During the day is fine, but I'll probably be with my sister and the others at night, so..."

"It's okay." Lin Wanyu didn't seem to care much.

The "they" she thought they were were not the same as the Nuolan and Su Weiwei that Gu Yifan had described.

Lin Wanyu thought she was with Nuolan and Nuolan's mother.

To be honest, Lin Wanyu felt very sorry for Gu Yifan.

Not only her, but all the other girls in the apartment, including Meijia, felt the same way.

Gu Yifan works so hard because of his unhappy family life.

Gu Yifan only had his father as a relative, but his father first abandoned him and went overseas to Xida University to pursue his so-called dream of making movies.

He ended up achieving nothing and eventually died far from home.

Lin Wanyu quietly made up her mind.

She was determined to make Gu Yifan feel the warmth and love of home.

At the same time, Ms. Hu and even Ms. Qin's eyes also flickered with a thoughtful glint.

Everyone had arrived, and the dishes were almost all served. Ziqiao's 'friend' still hadn't arrived.

"Ziqiao, who are you calling? Why are you taking so long?" Meijia asked, frowning.

That's so rude!

"We're having a meal together, why are you calling me an outsider? It's so annoying!"

"Almost there, almost there," Lu Ziqiao quickly assured him.

"Who is it? Stop keeping us in suspense." Ms. Hu's curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to know who Ziqiao was calling.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A very familiar figure peeked in from behind the door.

"Hi~"

Gu Yifan froze, his expression strange.

Looking at the guy in front of me with a small mustache, wearing a black shirt and red tie, and looking sassy, ​​he looked like a carbon copy of Teacher Zeng.

"Insightful opinion? What brings you here?"

Gao Jian spread his hands innocently, gesturing to Lü Ziqiao, "Lü Bu asked me to come, so I came."

"What, you're not welcoming me?"

Unexpectedly, Ziqiao ended up associating with Gao Jian.

Perhaps it's because the two are kindred spirits and compatible, both being scumbags and playboys.

It's just that Gao Jian is richer and plays more sophisticated and flashy games than Zi Qiao.

The women he was accompanied by were either models or recent graduates from art schools.

Deng Gao smiled and took out the foreign liquor he had brought.

Lin Wanyu's eyes widened, she rubbed them several times, and turned to look at Gu Yifan, "Wow, how come he looks exactly like Teacher Zeng?"

"I should say, you guessed right that Xiaoxian looks exactly like me," Gao Jian joked. "I'm much more popular with girls than him."

Zeng Xiaoxian: "Hehe."

"This must be the proprietress, she's indeed young and beautiful." Gao Jian had a keen eye and recognized Lin Wanyu, taking the initiative to stand up and shake hands with her.

"In my humble opinion, the landlady looks quite young, which is good for earning a living under President Gu."

"Hehe, call me Wanyu." Lin Wanyu shook hands with Gao Jian. She had heard of Gao Jian before and knew that he was the general manager of Gu Yifan's company. She didn't expect that he really looked exactly like Teacher Zeng.

"Mr. Gao is joking. The company is counting on you, and I'm counting on you too," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Gao Jian is responsible for running various business operations, as well as liaising with websites, promoting games, and so on.

He's much busier than his senior brother, but Gao Jian handles all of these things with ease; he's truly a talented individual.

As for his private life, Gu Yifan had no interest in it.

To be honest, in an open city like Shanghai, where white-collar workers face immense pressure every day, it's common for many to indulge in extravagant lifestyles.

Pure-hearted girls like Zhanbo and girls like Qin Yumo who hate scumbags are actually very rare.

If I don't find some fun to relieve the pressure, I'll explode.

"Ziqiao, when did you start hanging out with Gao Jian?" Gu Yifan asked Lu Ziqiao secretly.

“We exchanged contact information the last time he came to the bar,” Lu Ziqiao said, then extended an invitation to Gao Jian, “Brother Jian, let’s continue tonight, a duel of skills!”

"Invincible in love!" Gao Jian immediately said, "No problem, Brother Qiao."

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Yifan: "Ugh."

He should have realized it sooner; as a fellow seasoned player in the dating scene, how similar could his insightful views be to those of Lu Ziqiao?

They probably wish they could chop off a chicken's head, drink the blood wine, and become sworn brothers.

That's pretty much the case.

Gao Jian and Lu Ziqiao don't really have many friends, and even if they do, most of them are of the opposite sex.

Neither of them could find a friend they liked.

As a result, the two hit it off immediately and considered each other confidants.

When Lu Ziqiao went out to hunt for women, he would almost always invite Gao Jian along.

The two were undefeated in the drinking scene.

Zeng Xiaoxian was so impressed by this boast that he asked shyly.

"Um, if you guys go out to play in the future, could you..."

Zeng Xiaoxian was too embarrassed to say the final "Take me with you," so he could only look at the two of them expectantly.

"Oh, we'll take pictures of you, Teacher Zeng!" Ziqiao suddenly realized and replied with a smile.

Zeng Xiaoxian's face stiffened.

Who the hell wants to see photos, you bastard? I meant to ask if I could come along!
Ziqiao was obviously joking.

Gao Jian, slightly tipsy, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his Rolex watch, and patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder.

"Of course, no problem. I'll just say you're my twin brother, and that'll definitely attract more girls' attention."

See this.

Miss Lin, Ms. Hu, and Miss Qin all spat in unison.

Hmph, three scoundrels!
Meijia, on the other hand, had many knowledgeable acquaintances in all the well-known bars in Shanghai.

Immediately I became interested.

"Really? You've been to every single bar?"

Gao Jian nodded, "Of course, you can get a discount if you mention my name."

Meijia quickly said, "Can I go with you? I want to see the world too. Are there any handsome guys?"

"Sure, but I advise a naive girl like you not to go. You're easily scammed," Gao Jian said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Meijia immediately retorted, "Who's naive? I'm a chivalrous woman who roams the martial world, you know!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu immediately shook his head at Gao Jian and whispered, "Don't bring Mei Jia. She'll become a maniac, and she'll go crazy after drinking."

Gao Jian shuddered and nodded gratefully.

"Unfortunately, I can't go with you guys. I have to prepare for tomorrow's 600th episode."

Those who offer witty and insightful opinions are clearly more popular than themselves.

Even when it comes to picking up girls, he always has insightful opinions on other topics and never falters, always able to handle them with ease.

Even the usually shy Zhanbo was captivated.

Zeng Xiaoxian was jealous. He coughed and started talking about his 600th episode of the show.

Unfortunately, Hu Yifei was listening to Gao Jian gossip about the modeling industry and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I know, I know, don't bring up your lousy show anymore."

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian gritted his teeth. It seemed he had no choice but to use his trump card.

Zeng Xiaoxian said in a deep voice, "I'm thinking about how to express my gratitude to my supporters on this important day!"

This statement successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"Teacher Zeng, do you mean you'll thank each and every one of us? My name can even be on the show?" Zhanbo turned his head and asked with great interest.

"Of course!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smug smile as he saw everyone's attention return to him.

"Can I do it too?" Guan Gu then pointed to himself and asked.

"That's right, Guan Gu, I remember all the good things you've done for me," Zeng Xiaoxian said gratefully.

Thanks to Guan Gu's sushi and the instant noodles he bought and then crushed up, Zeng Xiaoxian got through many hungry nights.

"Sukuru!" Guan Gu shouted, raising his arms. "Hahaha, I'm going to let the whole world know that the cartoonist Guan Gu Shenqi is still alive!"

“This… saying the name won’t work.” Zeng Xiaoxian interrupted Guan Gu awkwardly.

"Huh?" Everyone was clearly disappointed.

Zeng Xiaoxian said guiltily, "This is a rule of the station; only Yifan can do it."

"Why?" Mika asked.

"Because I sponsored it, Teacher Zeng would always start the show by saying, 'This program is sponsored by Extraordinary Animation and Comics. Under One Person, accompanying you through every long night.' That's how it is."

Gu Yifan coughed and imitated Zeng Xiaoxian's speech.

"Wow, this sounds more interesting than Teacher Zeng's show," Meijia teased, looking at Zeng Xiaoxian.

"But," Zhanbo interrupted, "how will we know who you're thanking, Teacher Zeng, if you don't say the name?"

“That’s easy,” Zeng Xiaoxian replied slowly with a smile. “When the time comes, I’ll just say that I want to thank a special friend for their support, and you’ll know who I’m talking about.”

"So-ga-so-ga." Guan Gu smiled broadly.

Gu Yifan sighed, wondering what they were so excited about. But that's what friends are all about.

Zeng Xiaoxian, slightly drunk, leaned back in his chair and stared intently at everyone. "I will always remember everyone's support for me."

"Yifan, Wanyu"

Miss Lin nodded with a smile.

"Sekiya, Mika"

Guan Gu and Mei Jia made a peace sign.

"And Zhanbo, and Yumo."

"I got some too?" Miss Qin asked in surprise, but she still raised her glass and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Only Ziqiao, who had been left out, noticed that everyone else had mentioned it but he hadn't, so he quickly poured wine into Zeng Xiaoxian's empty cup.

He looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with anticipation.

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded in satisfaction and said, "And Ziqiao too."

"I will always remember your help."

"Wait a minute," Ms. Hu said, her face darkening. "Is there something you're not saying?"

Zeng Xiaoxian frowned and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands in sudden realization, "Oh! Right."

Ms. Hu then waited expectantly.

"And Takami-nii! Although we've only met twice, we're already like brothers from different fathers and mothers!"

Gao Jian blinked, "You're too kind, little brother."

"Crack!"

That's the sound of a cup being crushed.
