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

Chapter 358 Who's so awesome that they beat up Master Huang?

The originally hazy sky was completely replaced by the darkness of night.

The commercial street was brightly lit and bustling with pedestrians.

A relatively quiet bench.

Hu Yifei whispered that she didn't plan to attend the ball.

In her words.

University professors' dances are anything but relaxing; you have to constantly watch out for the leaders' movements, keeping your nerves on edge. It's better not to go at all.

But Gu Yifan felt that Ms. Hu was not being sincere, after all, she had changed her clothes and finished her makeup.

"Wouldn't it be a shame not to go?" Gu Yifan advised Ms. Hu.

Ms. Hu's face showed some displeasure; she pursed her lips and spoke emphatically.

"Who says I dress up and put on makeup just to go to a ball!"

"Really?"

Ms. Hu's eyes looked a little guilty. "Uh-huh!"

Gu Yifan said helplessly, "But if we're dressed like this, we'll be stared at wherever we go."

Gu Yifan was dressed in a suit and tie, while Hu Yifei wore a red dress adorned with flowers.

If you didn't know better, you'd probably think they were going to walk the red carpet.

Hu Yifei was annoyed by Gu Yifan's lack of tact.

She pushed Gu Yifan away and slapped away his arm that was draped over her shoulder.

She sat up abruptly, turned her head, and glared angrily at Gu Yifan.

Are you deliberately contradicting me?

"Of course not." Gu Yifan scratched his head, before he could finish speaking.

Hu Yifei then leaned closer, stared at him, and said loudly, "I said I'm not going, and I'm not going!"

"This isn't asking for your advice, it's an announcement! Understand?"

He finished speaking angrily.

Hu Yifei snorted, turned her face away, crossed her arms, and refused to look at Gu Yifan.

be quiet
Gu Yifan looked somewhat surprised.

What's wrong with Ms. Hu now?

Hu Yifei bit her lip, feeling extremely regretful for her sudden outburst.

It was such a rare occasion for them to be alone together.
It's all because Gu Yifan is so clueless.

She wants more time alone with her boyfriend, is that not allowed?!

Idiot
At this moment, Gu Yifan reached out and took Ms. Hu's wrist.

Hu Yifei instinctively struggled slightly, muttering aggrievedly, "If you want to go, go by yourself, don't touch me."

Gu Yifan looked at Yifei, who was throwing a tantrum, with amusement. He had already guessed why Yifei was angry.

Gu Yifan forcefully pulled Ms. Hu over to face him.

Despite this, the childlike Ms. Hu stubbornly turned her head away.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Where do you want to go for a stroll? I'll go with you. If that doesn't work, we can go to the mall. Pick whatever you like; consider it a Christmas present, how about that?"

Gu Yifan said in a relaxed tone.

"Really? I can choose whatever I want?" Ms. Hu's eyes lit up when she heard about this good news.

Gu Yifan nodded.

But then, Hu Yifei shook her head and muttered to herself.

"Forget it. What kind of behavior is it for me to spend your money?"

When Ms. Hu was in junior high school and first showed her leadership qualities, Gu Yifan was still playing hide-and-seek with first-graders, wiping his nose.

The age gap between the two was already a major concern for Hu Yifei, as Gu Yifan was two years younger than Zhanbo.

Hu Yifei has always used the excuse that she ate young grass and took advantage of him to comfort herself.

Hu Yifei is a strong-willed and independent woman at heart, so she can no longer accept spending Gu Yifan's money.

That's why.

Gu Yifan received the least rebate from Ms. Hu.

Whatever the two of them do, whether it's eating or grocery shopping.

Hu Yifei insisted on paying, and kept grumbling about how she was keeping Gu Yifan as a mistress.

She also refused all the expensive gifts, telling Gu Yifan to deliver them to Wanyu, as she didn't need them.

have to say.

In this relationship, Hu Yifei appeared somewhat cautious and even a little submissive.

“However, we could go shopping at the mall.” Hu Yifei’s bright phoenix eyes darted around as she looked Gu Yifan up and down, her eyes lighting up.

"You didn't buy many clothes in the fall and winter, did you? Come on, let me pick out a couple for you."

Ms. Hu patted Gu Yifan on the shoulder casually, acting like a boss.

Gu Yifan smiled and agreed, it was nothing more than accompanying Yifei shopping.

As for the ball, he might miss Young Master Shen. Gu Yifan still wants to find an opportunity to talk to him and invite him to join Eleba as a breakthrough.

However, this is not necessary.

Gu Yifan wasn't worried about Ele.me's development opportunities. To be honest, the company's current development had already surpassed that of Ele.me in his previous life.

"Let's go, let's just drive there," Gu Yifan said, standing up.

But accidents always happen suddenly.

The two hadn't walked more than a few steps when Ms. Hu's phone rang.

Hu Yifei took out her phone and looked at it.

"It's the department head. Damn it, why is he calling now?"

Ms. Hu's delicate eyebrows furrowed immediately, and she hesitated, unsure whether to accept the call or not.

"Answer it," Gu Yifan reminded her with a smile. "Looks like he called you personally."

"I know! Stop talking!" Ms. Hu said impatiently before walking aside to answer the phone call from the department head.

To be honest, although this department head was a bit of a busybody, he was still a good person.

Last time, I gave Hu Yifei two tickets to TVXQ, implying that she should find a boy she likes to go see the movie with.

In 2007, South Korean boy bands were at the height of their popularity.

Eight out of ten girls know TVXQ, and some can even name a few of the members.

The value of these two tickets goes without saying, and they are hard to buy even if you have the money.

That's why Hu Yifei also planned to invite Gu Yifan to come and see it together.

Unfortunately, Gu Yifan wasn't very interested in boy bands.

The girl group is alright.

So I refused Ms. Hu and asked her to give it to Zhanbo.

Later, Gu Yifan heard that Ziqiao somehow found out that Yifei had two front-row tickets for TVXQ and joined the competition.

But it seems she didn't give it to anyone in the end.

Hu Yifei: I resold them to scalpers. I never expected these TVXQ tickets to be worth so much!

They also added a second washing machine to the apartment.

Similarly, the department head introduced Mr. Shen to Yifei because he saw that she was still single and wanted to help her make a connection.

If the two really get together, with Mr. Shen's wealth, Yifei will definitely be set for life.

But the department head was unaware of this.

Hu Yifei already had someone else in her heart, so her good intentions backfired.

"Hey, Director, I haven't arrived yet. I know it's about to start, but I'm not feeling well today."

It's not that I'm feeling uncomfortable.

"It's not because I can't find a male dance partner, I'm afraid of being embarrassed!!!"

Seeing Yifei stomping her feet in frustration, Gu Yifan secretly smiled.

While waiting for the right moment, he put his hands in his pockets and looked around.

My gaze inadvertently fell on a stall.

"Huh?" Gu Yifan let out a soft exclamation and slowly walked over.

In front of the stall piled high with unsold roses

A familiar figure appeared, his backside sticking out, bending over and writing something on a piece of cardboard with a marker.

"A tearful clearance sale! One rose for two yuan, three roses for five yuan, seven roses for ten yuan. First come, first served, while supplies last!"

After writing the last huge exclamation mark, the mysterious stall owner breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

He refused to believe that they couldn't sell them!
Just then, a curious voice suddenly came from very close to the stall owner's ear.

"Master Huang?"

He glanced at the mysterious stall owner who had written his own neat handwriting, then suddenly turned around in a fright.

"Who!"

"It's you!"

Gu Yifan stood behind the stall owner.

They were wearing masks and hats, covering themselves up completely.

But Huang Huifeng could still be identified by his familiar Fujian accent and his silhouette.

Master Huang.

Then I looked at the rose stand in front of me.

Gu Yifan pointed to the stall and asked curiously, "Is this your stall?"

As the saying goes, "enemies meeting are especially hostile," Huang Huifeng recognized Gu Yifan at a glance.

The two are quite destined to meet, having encountered each other several times, and Cyndi even rented Master Huang's house.

But all the goodwill came to an abrupt end when Huang Huifeng saw Gu Yifan surrounded by a group of female customers, and his stall became deserted.

Sorry, we're not familiar with each other!

"Hmph, it's you!" Huang Huifeng glared at Gu Yifan with resentment, speaking in a Fujian-accented Mandarin, "You walk so quietly, it's terrifying!" With that, Huang Huifeng walked past Gu Yifan, picked up a megaphone, and started shouting enthusiastically.

"Rose flowers are on sale at wholesale prices! Two yuan a flower, three for five yuan, seven for ten yuan! Hurry and grab them while supplies last!"

This shout actually made some pedestrians stop in their tracks out of curiosity.

But looking at the rose stalls that were piled up haphazardly and looked somewhat withered, they only glanced at them a few times.

They didn't come over.

Gu Yifan smiled.

I never expected that the one waging a price war against Meijia would be Master Huang.

Meijia had previously been hoping that this Master Huang could help her calculate whether she was destined to be an empress.

"You're selling these roses so cheaply, can you even break even?" Gu Yifan then asked.

"I'm telling you, young man, isn't this a bit much? Who's to blame?" Huang Huifeng rolled his eyes so much they almost reached the sky, and replied irritably.

He thought Gu Yifan was there to mock him, but to his surprise, Gu Yifan nodded after listening.

"Oh, then I'll pick a few."

"Aren't you also selling roses? Why would you buy mine? Are you buying in bulk?"

Huang Huifeng's initial anger subsided somewhat, and he couldn't help but ask Gu Yifan.

"No, I was just helping a friend." Gu Yifan shook his head.

"Help me." Huang Huifeng pondered the words for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, "Then how about you help me out too?"

"Help you sell flowers?" Gu Yifan picked and chose, and pulled out a few pretty roses.

I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring Yifei a bouquet of flowers.

But it wouldn't be appropriate to get it from Mika. Given Mika's obsession with gossip, if she notices anything about her slim figure, she'll definitely keep asking about it.

“That’s right!” Huang Huifeng moved closer to Gu Yifan, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"How about this, whatever amount she gives you, I'll double it for you?"

"Master Huang, why are you wearing a hat? You're acting all sneaky." Gu Yifan didn't answer, but instead glanced at Huang Huifeng and asked curiously.

Wearing sunglasses late at night, what's with the act of pretending to be disabled?

Huang Huifeng felt a little awkward and changed the subject.

"Don't ask that."

"Master Huang, you didn't get beaten up, did you?" Gu Yifan asked in surprise, seemingly noticing the bruises under Huang Huifeng's sunglasses.

"How. How is it possible!"

"Who, who could be my match!"

He's anxious, he's anxious.

Gu Yifan became even more certain that Master Huang had been beaten up.

Who's so awesome that they could beat up Huang Huifeng?

The system also provided a notification.

You encounter the mysterious Master Huang, only to find him severely injured and lying on the roadside, barely alive. You rush him to seek medical help, but Master Huang remains evasive about who injured him. Please uncover the truth.

Since Master Huang had practiced it, Gu Yifan became even more curious.

“If Master Huang tells me, I’ll help you sell these flowers,” Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"Oh, are you sure?"

"Of course, but I have to hurry, someone is waiting for me." Gu Yifan turned his head and gestured to Ms. Hu, who was still on the phone.

I guess he's still trying to persuade the department head.

"That's fine."

"Ah, actually, I didn't originally intend to say this."

"A few days ago, I was walking at night when I saw several young girls being harassed by hooligans. Seeing this injustice, I drew my sword to help them."

"However, I only suffered minor injuries due to a sneak attack by a few unscrupulous individuals."

After hesitating, Huang Huifeng said, half-truthfully.

"Hey, I'm getting old. Even a novice can beat a master with a flurry of punches."

"Really?" Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

Why doesn't he believe a single word? The system didn't give any warnings, so it must be fake.

“Really!” Huang Huifeng nodded.

"Never mind, Master Huang, you don't consider me a friend, so here are just these few flowers." Gu Yifan took the flowers he had chosen and turned to leave.

Huang Huifeng quickly grabbed him.

"Hey, young man, didn't you promise to help me deal with these flowers?"

Gu Yifan shook his head, "Master Huang, you're not telling the truth."

"Huh? How did you know?" Huang Huifeng was surprised, although he also felt that his story was a bit far-fetched.

"Okay, actually it's like this."

Huang Huifeng gave in after a brief eye contact with Gu Yifan and began to speak softly.

"I get a lot of young women asking me to tell their fortunes on this commercial street."

"Wow, Master Huang, you're not going to flirt with the young lady, are you?" Gu Yifan exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Huifeng was startled by Gu Yifan raising his voice and quickly said.

"Hey young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! I'm innocent!"

At this moment, Ms. Hu, who had just finished her phone call, walked over and asked aggressively, "What do you mean by harassing a young girl?"

Judging from the tone, the outcome doesn't seem to be very good.

"It's nothing." Gu Yifan shook his head and turned to hand over a bouquet of roses.

"What are you doing?" Although Hu Yifei had expected it, her pretty face still flushed red.

“Rose flowers would suit your dress better, Yifei,” Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei's resentment vanished instantly.

What girl doesn't like receiving flowers from a boy?

It would be a lie to say that Hu Yifei didn't have a little bit of expectation in her heart; she could only comfort herself with the excuse that being seen by others wouldn't have a good impact.

But she never expected that Gu Yifan would actually send her flowers.

Ms. Hu, with her glib tongue, held a bouquet of roses, which made her pretty face even more radiant and beautiful.

This unexpected display of affection made Huang Huifeng, who was standing nearby, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Huang Huifeng: Wait, how come this young man is always surrounded by a different beautiful woman? Could he really be destined to be plagued by romantic entanglements?

"Ahem, young man, are you still going to listen?"

“Listen, Master Huang, please continue,” Gu Yifan said, turning to Huang Huifeng.

"Is he the one who's waging a price war with Meijia?" Hu Yifei finally noticed Huang Huifeng, who was wearing a baseball cap and looked suspicious at first glance, and asked in surprise, "You know him?"

“Hey, miss, that’s not right. Who says I can’t sell flowers? On the contrary, I’d say he’s engaging in improper business practices and disrupting the market,” Huang Huifeng retorted, looking at Gu Yifan with a resentful expression.

"This is Huang Huifeng, the fortune teller who told Guan Gu's fortune before, Master Huang," Gu Yifan introduced to Hu Yifei.

"Oh! You're the fortune teller?" Hu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "I heard you're very accurate."

Huang Huifeng's lips trembled a few times before he finally swallowed his anger. "I do offer fortune telling and face reading services."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei smiled and said, "That's perfect, help me calculate it too."

Gu Yifan put his hand on Hu Yifei's shoulder. "What did the department head say?"

"What else can I say? I have to go." Hu Yifei rolled her eyes and said dejectedly.

"It's okay, go for it." Gu Yifan smiled and said, "Sister Yifei, you will definitely amaze everyone."

“That’s right!” Hu Yifei raised an eyebrow, looking smug.

She was confident that the moment she appeared, she would become the eye of the storm at the Christmas ball!

At this moment, Huang Huifeng, who had been ignored once again, turned pale and coughed twice with greater force.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, miss, I don't offer that service today. If you'd like a fortune telling, face reading, or to ward off misfortune, perhaps we'll do it another time."

As he spoke, Huang Huifeng glanced at Gu Yifan.

They deliberately emphasized the volume of "eliminating disasters and solving problems".

Huang Huifeng: Miss, you need to see this man next to you clearly. He's not a good person!

"Wow, Master Huang has quite a lot of business to handle." Hu Yifei, however, didn't understand Huang Huifeng's meaning and raised an eyebrow as she spoke.

"Hey~ It's just a little bit of hard-earned money." Huang Huifeng looked at Gu Yifan eagerly.

"The matter of helping this old man sell flowers?"

"Master Huang, you haven't finished yet." Gu Yifan was interrupted by Yifei and almost forgot about the gossip.

"Well," Huang Huifeng said with a wry smile, "I always treated those young girls with the utmost politeness and never overstepped my bounds, but after they had their fortunes told, they broke up with their boyfriends and blamed it all on me."

"So, a few nights ago, when I was packing up my stall and heading home, it was dark and windy, and I was ambushed and beaten by several masked men."

system hint.

[After listening to Master Huang explain the true reason, you have received 5 Blank Experience Cards and 1 Bottle of Magic Item Cleanser]

Gu Yifan: "."

The saying goes, "It's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage."

Master Huang deserved that beating.

"Master Huang, did you get ganged up on by your ex-boyfriends? Where are they? Have they been caught?" Gu Yifan asked again.

Huang Huifeng shook his head. "I am kind-hearted and did not pursue the matter. Perhaps this is my destiny to suffer this calamity."

"Master, you have a rather unusually open-minded perspective," Ms. Hu said with some admiration.

"Ah, that's always been my way."

Huang Huifeng subconsciously rubbed his chin and said.

Huang Huifeng: So, I accepted 30,000 yuan from each of them and agreed to a settlement. However, the police told me not to set up my stall for a while, so I'm planning to expand my business.

Gu Yifan kept his word and, after listening, immediately bought the remaining roses from Huang Huifeng.

"Master Huang, please deliver the flowers to Meijia," Gu Yifan instructed Huang Huifeng.

Huang Huifeng was taken aback, then flew into a rage, "And you still say you're not here to buy goods!"
