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

Chapter 379 They all wanted Gu Yifan to spend the New Year with them!
Ziqiao swore solemnly, with an expression of utter innocence.

This made everyone hesitate. Could it be that it had nothing to do with Ziqiao?
"Don't trust him, this guy has a criminal record!" Ms. Hu believed in the aesthetics of violence, and her expression turned hostile as she clenched her slender fists, making a cracking sound.

"Since he's unwilling to talk, let's just beat him half to death first! I don't believe he won't talk."

Ziqiao trembled with fright, clearly traumatized by Yifei, and quickly swore a solemn oath.

"I swear, I really didn't ruin Teacher Zeng and Sally's relationship, or else I'll be punished by never finding a girlfriend with a bra size bigger than C, no, B!"

The boys immediately believed Ziqiao.

Ziqiao is definitely obsessed with mature women. If he could only date women with no more than a B cup in his entire life, it would be more painful than killing him.

"Yifei, don't be anxious. Ziqiao, think back again. What else did you say to Selena?" Gu Yifan stepped in to play the good cop, telling Ms. Hu to calm down.

In full view.

Ziqiao frowned, deep in thought, "I didn't say anything. Did I tell Ms. Selene that she was a righteous and kind person?"

“That’s definitely not it.” Miss Qin shook her head. Sally had been with Teacher Zeng for so long, she certainly wouldn’t break up with Teacher Zeng because of this.

"So, what I mean is that although Teacher Zeng was at the bottom of the show before, he's gradually getting back on track?"

Gu Yifan: Ziqiao, how much of Teacher Zeng's secrets have you revealed?

"Not this one, what else?" Lin Wanyu shook her head. Sally was a fan of Teacher Zeng and wouldn't care about so much.

"Then there really isn't any left, please let me go!" Ziqiao cried out.

"I drank too much last night, and I'm also injured. I got slapped by Sally, and I still owe Mika ten 'Buddha's Palms'."

"Don't play the victim, you brought this on yourself!"

Hu Yifei crossed her arms, unmoved. "Looks like I'll have to break one arm anyway, might as well just break off another leg!"

Startled, Ziqiao quickly covered himself with a pillow, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Let me think about it some more, let me think about it some more!"

As he spoke, he began to rack his brains and think hard.

Everyone stared at Ziqiao.

Zhanbo rubbed his chin. "Should we just ask Teacher Zeng directly?"

“No, Teacher Zeng just got dumped and suffered such a huge blow. Asking him again would just be rubbing salt into the wound.” Lin Wanyu immediately shook her head and rejected Zhanbo’s suggestion.

At that moment, Ziqiao suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself.

"Could it be this sentence?"

"What!" Everyone stared at Ziqiao and asked loudly.

Ziqiao was startled and quickly said, "I was just joking. I said that Teacher Zeng had been a virgin for 28 years and was going to give it to Selby first. It can't be this, can it?"

"Ziqiao, you really know how to insult Teacher Zeng!" Gu Yifan muttered, a black line appearing on his forehead.

Ziqiao chuckled, "It's not my fault. It's just that Teacher Zeng is full of weaknesses."

"That shouldn't be the case, Sally shouldn't feel a sense of accomplishment." Miss Qin wanted to laugh just thinking about how Teacher Zeng was still a virgin, but she forced down her smile as she spoke.

Everyone else also felt that it shouldn't be that.

But just then, Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly pushed open the door.

"Teacher Zeng? Are you alright?" Lin Wanyu asked quickly.

Zeng Xiaoxian ignored everyone else, his bloodshot eyes staring angrily at Ziqiao sitting on the sofa, and let out a deafening growl from his throat.

"So it was you!!!"

"Lu! Zi! Qiao! I'm going to strangle you!!!"

As he spoke, Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly lunged forward.

He leaped and landed on top of Zi Qiao, who was caught off guard!
Zeng Xiaoxian straddled Ziqiao's lap, viciously grabbed Ziqiao's neck, and shook him up and down, spitting everywhere!
"So it was you! Tell Selena I'm still a virgin!"

"Cough cough, Teacher Zeng, help!" Zi Qiao's face, which had been pinched, quickly turned a deep red, and he frantically patted Zeng Xiao Xian's shoulder.

Looking at the others, they were all stunned and gaped.

Miss Qin was extremely surprised, "No way?"

"Is it really because of that sentence?"

Seeing that Teacher Zeng really intended to strangle Zi Qiao, Zhan Bo quickly grabbed Zeng Xiao Xian by the waist and pulled him back.

"Teacher Zeng, calm down, calm down!"

Gu Yifan also went up to help, saying, "Teacher Zeng, if you strangle Ziqiao, the next time you see Sally, it'll be in court, and she'll be your defense lawyer."

Only Ms. Hu seemed to enjoy the spectacle, saying, "Isn't that great too?"

Fortunately, Teacher Zeng still retained some rationality and did not really hold on tightly.

Having narrowly escaped death, Ziqiao covered his swollen neck and coughed repeatedly, "Teacher Zeng, you really wanted to...cough cough strangle me!"

Zeng Xiaoxian roared with red eyes, "I'll strangle you! I'll strangle you! You'll be lucky to get away with it!"

Gu Yifan: This is what happens when you provoke an honest person.

"What exactly happened, Teacher Zeng?" Gu Yifan and Zhanbo each grabbed one of Zeng Xiaoxian's arms.

Zeng Xiaoxian slumped weakly onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. His lips trembled a few times before he slowly opened his mouth.

"Sally said she could accept that my career hadn't taken off yet, and she could accept that I had a relationship I couldn't let go of. But she couldn't accept that I was still a virgin after dating Laura for eight years!"

"???"

Everyone was stunned. What a bizarre and absurd reason for breaking up?
"How could this be? This...this is fine, isn't it?" Lin Wanyu asked in surprise.

Zeng Xiaoxian was filled with grief and indignation: "How was I supposed to know what she was thinking?! She not only insulted my dignity, but also humiliated my character!"

"Sally: I've been dating for eight years and he's still a virgin. Either he has a physical problem or a mental problem. I don't want to live like a widow!"

Ziqiao looked utterly dejected.

They probably never imagined that this sentence would lead to the breakup.

Guan Gu patted Teacher Zeng's shoulder with a look of pity, "Indeed, in our area, a guy who is 30 years old and still doesn't have a girlfriend is considered a complete shut-in and will be looked down upon by all the girls."

"He's considered unattractive, and no girl would want to sleep with him."

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly defended himself, "I'm just keeping myself pure, okay!"

Ziqiao finally recovered.

"I cough cough, I'm so sorry, Teacher Zeng, you've really opened my eyes. From now on, you are the person I admire most." He said weakly, his eyes lifeless.

"Still talking!" Zeng Xiaoxian glared fiercely at Ziqiao, as if he wanted to devour him.

"Don't worry, Teacher Zeng. Ziqiao just swore a solemn oath that if he caused you to break up with Sally, he will never be able to find a girlfriend with a good figure again," Zhanbo whispered to Zeng Xiaoxian.

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Really?"

Zhanbo nodded. "Everyone can testify to this."

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly perked up and began to mock Ziqiao without restraint.

"Hahaha, Ziqiao, you'll never get a girlfriend with a good figure again!!! Hahaha!!!"

"Teacher Zeng, are you not sad anymore?" Miss Lin asked cautiously.

Zeng Xiaoxian's smile faded slightly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and then shook his head.

"I'm still very sad. But Sally broke up with me because I was chaste. I think maybe we're really not suitable for each other."

Since the parties involved had already said so, no one else could say anything more.

And so, Teacher Zeng's second relationship ended abruptly, barely beginning.

Leave the apartment.

Gu Yifan drove Wanyu to her company, and then went to school with Yifei.

The three of them were still sighing in the car.

"I thought Teacher Zeng had really found true love," Miss Lin said regretfully. "I never expected it to end like this."

"I also thought that bitch would end up with that Sally," Ms. Hu said gloatingly. "I knew it! Nobody's a normal person watching Zeng Xiaoxian's show!"

Gu Yifan shrugged. "There are very few suitable people in this world, and even fewer that you can actually meet."

"That's why we should cherish it even more, right?" As she spoke, Lin Wanyu leaned closer to Gu Yifan and gently kissed his cheek, her eyes sparkling with love.

"Yes, we should cherish each other."

Gu Yifan smiled at Miss Lin, then looked in the rearview mirror and met Ms. Hu's thoughtful gaze.

Ms. Hu subtly waved her small fist at Gu Yifan as if in a show of defiance, but it seemed more like she was being arrogant.

"How did you sing that line again?" Ms. Hu suddenly said, "It's the song you wrote for Wanyu."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and then hummed it out.

"Actually, I understand that there are so few right people. Being able to grow old together is more important than anything else."

The reason why Teacher Zeng was dumped was something he strictly forbade anyone to tell others.

But unsurprisingly, it still got out.

The bizarre nature of this incident resonated with the male residents of the apartment.

They uploaded their bizarre experiences of being dumped.

Finally come to a conclusion.

Many girls would rather like a bad boy than an honest man with no redeeming qualities.

Gu Yifan strongly suspected that Zi Qiao was behind this, pushing and guiding it.

Gu Yifan and Ziqiao jointly set up a studio, establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with his two companies in the form of a studio.

Ziqiao treasured the manual that Gu Yifan had compiled from his memory on how to guide public opinion and manage public sentiment.

It seems they also dragged the black guys downstairs in.

And trials have already begun.

It's too far off topic.

The reason Gu Yifan suspected Ziqiao was because not long after this incident, Ziqiao's dating tutoring class was quickly established!
We are now recruiting male students from Love Apartment and the surrounding communities.

A lesson costs less than 1888, less than 888, only 288!

"Teacher Ziqiao will help you analyze women's criteria for choosing a partner step by step, and teach you how to increase your own attractiveness!"

The class was incredibly popular from the very first day!

Some boys signed up hoping to improve their dating skills and find a girlfriend.

Other boys had long admired Zi Qiao, the legendary playboy from the Love Apartment, and wanted to become his apprentices.

Ziqiao accepted all comers.

Gu Yifan later asked Ziqiao out of curiosity, "Aren't you afraid that if you teach your apprentice, you'll starve to death?"

Ziqiao, however, disagreed, saying that not everyone could learn the Lüshi Chunqiu.

Besides, even if he learned some things, he wouldn't have as much time as her to relentlessly pursue the girl 24/7.

On the contrary, if girls from other places knew that the guys in Love Apartment were of high quality, wouldn't they flock to the show?

Guess who has the most skills?

After listening to this, Gu Yifan truly admired Ziqiao.

So all he did was to pick up more girls?
If Ziqiao had put the same effort he used to chase girls into making money, he probably would have been financially independent by now.

Let's leave aside this matter.

Zeng Xiaoxian's recovery speed far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even the most optimistic Ms. Hu felt that Zeng Xiaoxian needed a week or two to recover.

But to my surprise, that very night, after Teacher Zeng finished her program and returned to her apartment, she returned to normal and even seemed quite happy.

Gu Yifan was curious and asked, only to find out the answer.

Lisa told Zeng Xiaoxian some good news.

Although his sudden request for a long leave made Lisa very unhappy and put her in a passive position.

But considering Gu Yifan's recommendation, and the fact that Zeng Xiaoxian could be considered one of her confidants, she was willing to accept it.

Lisa still recommended Zeng Xiaoxian to the Super Boy program team.

If he passes the interview, he can become a formal television host.

And if Super Boy becomes a huge hit, then Zeng Xiaoxian's name will become a household name.

This explains why Teacher Zeng was able to quickly overcome the shadow of heartbreak.

"Congratulations, Ziqiao." Guan Gu congratulated him while discussing the upcoming plot of One-Punch Man with Gu Yifan.

"Thank you. It seems that every cloud has a silver lining. By the way, where's Ziqiao? I need to talk to him."

"Ziqiao, he seems to be in his room. He's been avoiding Meijia all day and hasn't come out of his room," Guan Gu said immediately.

Zeng Xiaoxian went to find Ziqiao.

Guan Gu secretly asked Gu Yifan if he wanted to go and take a look.

What if Teacher Zeng only superficially forgives Zi Qiao, but in reality his condition has worsened and he plans to stab Zi Qiao to death?

Gu Yifan felt that Guan Gu's concerns were not unfounded.

The two quietly got up and followed.

The door was half-closed.

Gu Yifan and Guan Gu leaned against the door and listened.

The plan was to rush in and rescue people as soon as something went wrong or if there were cries for help.

Ziqiao's room.

Ziqiao was at his computer desk, typing rapidly with complete concentration, a mischievous grin on his face, completely unaware that someone had pushed the door open and entered.

I bet Ziqiao is having a great time chatting with some girls right now.

Pushing open the door, Zeng Xiaoxian, who had sneaked in, immediately became somewhat angry upon seeing this.

That guy Ziqiao ruined his new relationship, but he's acting like nothing happened and keeps chasing girls.

Then don't blame him, brother~ aren't brothers just for selling?

Zeng Xiaoxian had a sinister thought.

Soon, Zeng Xiaoxian tiptoed up behind Ziqiao and suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Ziqiao, what are you doing?"

"Who is it?!" Ziqiao was so startled by the sudden voice behind him that he almost slid off his chair and under the table.

Turning his head, Ziqiao saw Zeng Xiaoxian looking at him with a half-smile, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Zeng, why didn't you knock before coming in? You startled me."

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, looking at Ziqiao who had forgotten what happened that morning in the blink of an eye and acted as if nothing had happened.

He attacked from behind, grabbed Ziqiao's neck and shook him violently, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt your date! Especially since you just ruined my girlfriend's chance!"

Ziqiao was terrified, and even threw the mouse away. "I was wrong, I was wrong, Teacher Zeng. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!"

Zeng Xiaoxian then let go of her hand in an annoyed tone, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Lu Ziqiao was a little nervous and suddenly realized that it seemed that only he and Teacher Zeng were there now.

Wouldn't that mean that if Teacher Zeng did something to him, no one else would know?
They sensed danger approaching.

"Teacher Zeng, what's up? Of course I'm free." Ziqiao asked with a humble and ingratiating smile.

"Then come with me to a dinner party tomorrow."

"A dinner party?" Lu Ziqiao repeated in confusion.

He indirectly caused Teacher Zeng's breakup. Does this mean that Teacher Zeng not only doesn't hold a grudge but is also planning to invite him to dinner?

If that's the case, Ziqiao thinks either he's out of his mind, or Teacher Zeng is out of his mind.

"Could this be a trap?" Ziqiao asked cautiously. "Teacher Zeng, are you planning to poison me at the dinner?"

"Ziqiao, I've told you to watch less cheesy TV dramas," Zeng Xiaoxian said dismissively. "Do you think that's possible?"

Ziqiao felt wronged. The person in the apartment who loved watching melodramas the most actually advised him to watch less TV dramas.

This is just wild speculation on his part. He's clearly being overly solicitous; there's no smoke without fire.

"Teacher Zeng, why did you suddenly think of having me accompany you to the dinner party? By the way, who are you with?" Ziqiao asked.

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled mysteriously, "Don't ask me that."

The more Zeng Xiaoxian acted this way, the less confident Ziqiao felt. After thinking it over, Ziqiao suddenly said...

"Could it be Lisa?"

Seeing that Zi Qiao had guessed it, Zeng Xiaoxian stopped hiding it and nodded, "That's right."

Ziqiao's face immediately fell. "Teacher Zeng, can I not go?"

"What do you think?" Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slyly. "I promised Lisa that I would deliver you to her intact, alive."

"Teacher Zeng, you're betraying your brothers!"

"You betrayed me first!" Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed, jumping up and down. "Besides, I'm not asking you to do anything. It's just for fun, what's the big deal?"

Lu Ziqiao looked pained. "You don't understand Teacher Zeng, Lisa. She has unique quirks."

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Lu Ziqiao looked pained. "Ugh, no, I feel like throwing up just thinking about it. Please, Teacher Zeng, let me go!"

Zeng Xiaoxian seemed to have discovered a new world. He was first bewildered, then shocked. "Wow, you guys play this complicated game?"

But Zeng Xiaoxian hardened his heart again, "It's impossible, Ziqiao. This is what you owe me. If you go, I won't hold you accountable for your mistake."

"I really can't, Teacher Zeng," Ziqiao tried to struggle a bit more, "or you might as well just strangle me."

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes darted around, and he smiled slightly, "It would be too easy for you to strangle me. You don't have to go."

Ziqiao perked up, "Really?"

"But Mika, to make it up to me... how about we give it a try?"

Faced with Zeng Xiaoxian's wicked grin, Ziqiao froze on the spot, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Teacher Zeng

"What's wrong."

“You’ve changed. You weren’t like this before, Teacher Zeng,” Ziqiao said with a mournful face.

“People change.” Zeng Xiaoxian couldn’t bear it either, but thinking of his position as host, he hardened his heart and refused to look at Ziqiao. “Every man for himself! Ziqiao, go in peace.”

Finally, seeing the despair in Zi Qiao's eyes, Zeng Xiao Xian flexed his hands, preparing to experience the Tathagata Palm first.

Seeing that Teacher Zeng was serious, Ziqiao had no choice but to agree.

"What terrible things have I done?"

Now he didn't even feel like chatting with any of the girls anymore.

Zeng Xiaoxian was satisfied. "Alright, stop howling. We're even now. But don't stand me up, or else... hehehe!"

As Zeng Xiaoxian threatened Ziqiao and opened the door to leave, he suddenly froze.

He noticed that Gu Yifan and Guan Gu were standing at the door, both looking at him.

"You guys..." Zeng Xiaoxian felt a little guilty. Had they all heard him coerce and entice Ziqiao?
It won't damage Zeng Xiaoxian's imposing image in the apartment, will it?

Gu Yifan and Guan Gu exchanged a glance, then simultaneously gave each other a thumbs-up in admiration, "Teacher Zeng, well done!"

"Teacher Zeng, you've finally proven yourself!"

As they spoke, the three looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude.

Indeed, happiness is always built on the suffering of others.

Who told Ziqiao to commit the wrongdoing first?
What happened afterward, neither Ziqiao nor Teacher Zeng mentioned.

But after Teacher Zeng and Zi Qiao went out together, Teacher Zeng returned alone that night, and three days passed in a row before Zi Qiao finally returned to the apartment with unsteady steps.

Everyone already guessed what was going on.

The only person who could understand Ziqiao was probably Gu Yifan.

After all, there was also Madam Zhuge, who often used the excuse of inspecting the company's situation to come down from her law firm upstairs and stay in Gu Yifan's office for most of the day.

After their relationship progressed further.

Zhuge Dasheng (the Great Sage) displayed the initiative of a beautiful young woman, unlike that of a naive young girl.

She had reserved all her tenderness for her daughter, but now she has finally set aside a portion of it for Gu Yifan.

She served him with utmost care, making him feel like an emperor.

No wonder people say that young people don't know the beauty of married women and mistakenly take young girls for treasures.

Of course, Gu Yifan also took meticulous care of Madam Zhuge, making her even more stunning.

Every smile and frown made her radiant, and she looked several years younger.

Zhuge Dasheng attributed all of this to Gu Yifan.

She herself lamented that she had previously adhered to the principle of not getting married and kept her distance from men, thus missing out on the best years of her life.

They lived a life like ascetics.

Now, she has finally found happiness with Gu Yifan, and she truly feels a sense of addictive joy.

However, there were also things that gave Gu Yifan a headache.

School will be closed for the holidays after the final exams, and the Chinese New Year will be at the end of the month.

Madam Zhuge extended an invitation to Gu Yifan to spend the New Year at her home.

It's only when there's a male head of the household that it feels like Chinese New Year, isn't it?

Dali was also looking forward to Gu Yifan spending the New Year with them.

If it were just Zhuge Dasheng extending an invitation, Gu Yifan might have accepted. But then, Nuolan and Su Weiwei, both openly and secretly, also extended invitations to Gu Yifan.

I want him to spend the Lunar New Year with them this year.

Nuolan's reasoning was simple: the house had been bought and renovated, but it wasn't appropriate for him to never go back to live there.

The two women living there create too much yin energy, and it's the New Year, so he, with his strong yang energy, needs to go and bring some good fortune.

Gu Yifan didn't know where Nuolan, a completely urban elite woman, got such feudal ideas from, but it might just be an excuse for them.

Gu Yifan vaguely sensed that more than just a few of them were staring at him.

Sure enough, Ms. Hu and Zhanbo decided to go back home for the New Year. Hu Yifei kept muttering something to herself, saying that Zhanbo would have a girlfriend soon and her parents would definitely start nagging her.

Eventually, it escalated to the point where she directly approached Wanyu to discuss borrowing Gu Yifan to impersonate her boyfriend and go home for the Chinese New Year.

After all, Wan Yu would definitely have to fly back to New York for the New Year, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Gu Yifan to go there without any official status.

Miss Lin actually agreed.

And then there's Xinling. Xinling just stares longingly at Gu Yifan, and Gu Yifan can't bear to let this helpless girl spend the New Year alone.

Now comes the problem.

How can he treat everyone equally?
