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

Chapter 397 New Year's Eve Party: Two Suite-to-Suite Atmospheres

Calm seas cannot produce excellent sailors.

The atmosphere was harmonious when we first met, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a tense undercurrent!

Miss Qin, Su Weiwei, and Zhuge Dasheng all seemed to be subtly competing with each other.

Miss Qin felt that she was not only fighting for herself, but also had Wan Yu and Yi Fei standing behind her.

The four of them are living their lives well in the apartment, and that's better than anything else.

As for the two people in front of me, it's best not to compete with them.

Miss Qin's words were full of boasting about how happy the four of them were in their daily lives.

"I think this kind of life will continue indefinitely," Miss Qin said with a seemingly gentle smile.

In reality, it means that there is no room for any gaps to be made between the four of them.

This sparked extreme dissatisfaction from Su Weiwei.

She was obviously the one who came first.

If we're talking about who's in the right order, it should be her and Nuolan who are qualified to be by Xiaofan's side.

This woman just appeared out of nowhere.

For the sake of the sisterhood alliance, and for her own sake, Su Weiwei will not back down in the slightest.

"Yu Mo, you're joking. Yi Fan only moved out in a huff because he had a little argument with his sister. But now that the house is renovated, it's not really appropriate to live in such a noisy apartment."

"You tell me, why would someone choose to live in an apartment instead of a new house?"

The two women began exchanging barbs, each trying to outdo the other.

It will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and it will determine life and death!
As for Madam Zhuge, she remained calm and composed, watching the two women, whose eyes were practically spitting fire, engage in a fierce verbal battle, neither willing to back down.

Zhuge Dasheng originally had no intention of competing for anything; her conditions were already stated.

No matter who wins, it won't be her win.

However, Zhuge Dasheng also has her own advantages. She is open-minded. As long as Gu Yifan's company is still downstairs from her, and as long as she is still an investor in Yifan's company, this relationship will not fade.

But then again
Thinking of how happy Dali was today, Zhuge Dasheng suddenly had the idea that even if not for himself, he should fight for his child.

So while she appeared to be neither competitive nor aggressive, she was actually secretly observing the situation.

at this time.

Having already received a tip from Xinling, Gu Yifan walked over, spatula in hand.

"Are you two too idle?"

Both women instinctively shut up, feeling somewhat guilty for not saying a word.

"Sister Weiwei, if you have nothing better to do, go peel some garlic. Sister Yumo, go check how the preparations next door are going. Sister Dasheng, I don't know when my meal will arrive. Could you call and urge them for me?"

Gu Yifan methodically arranged for the three of them to be separated.

At the same time, I was secretly glad that the decision to throw a small party was the right one.

Otherwise, things would turn upside down.

Although Gu Yifan had refused their help earlier, times have changed.

Gu Yifan: I had barely stepped into the kitchen when you guys, you idiots, you really can't let me have a moment's peace.

Su Weiwei blinked her beautiful eyes, took the lead in sounding the retreat, and stood up with a smile.

“No problem, whatever Xiaofan asks his sister to do, his sister will do.”

As she spoke, Su Weiwei gave Miss Qin a slightly provocative look.

To win a man's heart, you have to be as obedient as she is.

Miss Qin rolled her eyes dismissively.

"Gu Yifan, my stomach hurts a little."

Gu Yifan was just about to tell Miss Qin to stop pretending when she suddenly had a stomachache, but then he saw Qin Yumo pouting pitifully at him.

Suddenly, I remembered the absurd things that happened last night.

Well, now that we've just taken advantage of them, there's no reason for us to abandon them.

"Then you can go to my room and rest for a while," Gu Yifan said after thinking for a moment.

Miss Qin smiled and raised an eyebrow at Su Weiwei.

See? I am the woman Gu Yifan loves most right now.

To be honest, what they're doing is a bit childish.

Logically speaking, the blame shouldn't be directed at Gu Yifan.

Unfortunately, all three of them had their own considerations.

Qin Yumo had guessed a little, but she hadn't yet confirmed the relationship between Su Weiwei and Gu Yifan.

It's unacceptable that we had such an unpleasant encounter on our very first meeting.

As for blaming Gu Yifan, that can only be discussed privately after the event, when the two of them can whine and complain about it.

If they started arguing, wouldn't it make her seem petty and offend Gu Yifan?

Arguing directly is something only little girls do.

Qin Yumo felt that after so many years of navigating the complexities of society, she had matured.

I would never do that.

Zhuge Dasheng smiled. To her, Qin Yumo and Su Weiwei were still too young, just little girls.

Men are attracted not by fighting, but by their charisma.

Lady Zhuge smiled gracefully, "Alright, I'll make a call and ask. Don't worry."

Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam is so considerate.

The storm that had just begun to brew was successfully interrupted by Gu Yifan.

Su Weiwei followed Gu Yifan into the kitchen, her watery fox-like eyes flashing with slight dissatisfaction.

Taking advantage of Gu Yifan's inattention, she actually pressed herself against his arm and grabbed his hands.

She acted cute and sweet.

"Xiao Fan, I want to go to your room too~"

"Stop fooling around, Sister Weiwei, go peel the garlic." Gu Yifan showed no pity for the little fox.

Su Weiwei hummed and hawed twice, but then she thought that since the woman with the slender figure had been sent to the bedroom, she could stay by Gu Yifan's side and be his assistant.

Isn't this a victory in itself?
Thinking of this, Su Weiwei stopped being angry and happily rolled up her sleeves to peel garlic.

Yes, this tactic is called the "mental victory method".

Gu Yifan glanced at Su Weiwei's back and vaguely saw a snow-white fox tail hanging down from her feet, swaying gently.

But upon closer inspection...

Yeah, it's just an illusion.

This rascal is the most troublesome one; it's best to keep her close by and watch her closely.

Originally, Su Weiwei had planned to take advantage of the time while assisting Gu Yifan to flirt with him.

But seeing Gu Yifan get into the zone and become so focused, Su Weiwei forgot everything else.

Indeed, guys are most handsome when they get serious.

Xinling then moved closer to Su Weiwei and tentatively offered her half a clean, bright green cucumber.

Su Weiwei accepted the vegetables without hesitation, and the two women secretly ate them while admiring Gu Yifan's cooking skills.

Gu Yifan had almost finished cooking, and the ordered food had arrived; all that was missing was Guan Gu's Japanese cuisine.

As a result, Gu Yifan went over to take a look.

Good heavens, room 3602 is already packed with people.

The group consisted of young people who hadn't gone home for the Lunar New Year or hadn't been able to buy train tickets, and they were having a great time around the stereo.

It was the same Chinese New Year, but the two suites next door presented two completely different scenes.

Guan Gu, dressed in a white chef's uniform, became the highlight of the suite.

I don't know who came up with the idea, but they put an electric teppanyaki grill on the table where we usually eat and started doing DIY teppanyaki.

A group of pretty girls surrounded Guan Gu, clapping and cheering from time to time, though it was unclear what they were cheering for.

Gu Yifan watched as Teacher Zeng, with a skewer of grilled squid in each hand, walked past him.

With quick eyes and hands, he called out to Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Teacher Zeng?"

"Who is it? Hey Yifan, come and try Guangu's grilled squid, oops, this is called Yokohama grilled squid, it's pretty good." Teacher Zeng said with a cheerful smile.

"Forget it," Gu Yifan shook his head. "My food's ready, want some?"

Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated.

Some were reluctant to leave behind so many beautiful women gathered here, and others were reluctant to part with Gu Yifan's culinary skills.

After thinking it over, Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head and refused, "You guys eat, I won't go."

Alright, Gu Yifan was just about to leave.

"and many more!"

Gu Yifan turned his head in confusion and saw Zeng Xiaoxian mysteriously pull out a fire extinguisher from behind his back and come over with a grin.

"Should we buy a fire extinguisher? It's good to keep one at home. Fire prevention and disaster preparedness are everyone's responsibility."

Gu Yifan's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"Teacher Zeng, you resigned and switched to selling fire extinguishers?"

Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head and whispered, "I just received some news that the chairman of the apartment residents' committee is getting old and is planning to go to Singapore to enjoy his retirement after the New Year, so the chairman's position will soon be vacant."

Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow. "You've made quite a bit of money. You can even spend your retirement in Singapore, so..."

Zeng Xiaoxian added mysteriously, "I've also found out that to compete for the chairmanship this time, you need to sell enough fire extinguishers in the neighborhood!"

Gu Yifan laughed, "Teacher Zeng, you have a very strong competitive spirit."

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled.

Gu Yifan then asked, "So how many have you sold so far?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's smile turned into embarrassment as he said awkwardly, "I haven't succeeded yet, so I'm begging Yifan to help me out and support you, bro!"

As he spoke, Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment, then handed the large squid he had taken a bite out of to Gu Yifan, saying, "I'll give you the squid."

"Thank you, but I won't eat the squid." Gu Yifan chuckled awkwardly and declined Teacher Zeng's offer of squid.

After thinking about it, I realized it was quite necessary to keep a fire extinguisher at home. "How much does it cost? I'll keep one on hand so that Yifei won't forget to turn off the stove while cooking one day."

"Not 998, not 698, just 388!" Teacher Zeng said in a dramatic and inflectional tone, uttering a price that seemed utterly unreasonable.

Gu Yifan: "."

Gu Yifan sighed and put away his wallet. "I know that as a rich person, there will always be people eyeing my wallet, but Teacher Zeng, you can't really treat me like a sucker."

Now Gu Yifan understands why running for chairman is linked to selling fire extinguishers, and he also understands why Teacher Zeng hasn't sold a single fire extinguisher.

"Yifan~!" Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Gu Yifan pitifully, like a stray dog ​​that no one wanted.

Seeing Teacher Zeng's pitiful appearance, Gu Yifan felt a little sorry for her.

He doesn't lack that little bit of money.

The problem is that I don't want the money to be transferred away by the guy who's taking kickbacks behind Teacher Zeng's back.

"How about this, Teacher Zeng, you start promoting it, and whatever the difference between you and first place, I'll help you catch up, okay?" Gu Yifan thought for a moment and offered a better suggestion.

Who would spend 388 yuan on a fire extinguisher? I doubt many will actually be sold.

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened with excitement, and he was so happy he almost fainted.

"Really?! It's a promise!"

"Mhm." Gu Yifan nodded with a smile.

"That's awesome!" Zeng Xiaoxian clenched his fist. "Yifan, you're truly my good brother."

Gu Yifan shook his head and left. If there was too much and he couldn't use it all, he could just leave it at the company.

Teacher Zeng, carrying squid and a fire extinguisher, went to find other people to sell them to. Gu Yifan glanced around.

The TV was on, playing the Spring Festival Gala which had already started, but no one was watching it.

Gu Yifan unexpectedly saw Lin Xiangyu, Xie Xun, and the other two in the corner, enjoying a leisurely drink and looking quite carefree.

"Didn't you go with Dali to set off fireworks?"

Gu Yifan walked over and asked loudly.

When Lin Xiangyu and the other two turned around, they saw that it was Gu Yifan.

"The little girl said she wanted to stay and play with her mom tonight, so she came up first," Xie Xun explained.

"What about Dali?" Gu Yifan asked curiously, not seeing the little girl.

"It's over there." Guan Chao shrugged and pointed to the sofa that had been moved to the side of the balcony.

Gu Yifan turned around and saw that the little girl was playing Three Kingdoms Kill with Xiao Hei and a few young people, looking very serious.

Gu Yifan shook his head and patted Xie Xun on the shoulder, "Dinner's ready, come eat at my place."

"Okay." Xie Xun and the other two nodded.

Gu Yifan then walked towards the sofa.

It was clear that Xiao Dali really liked the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" and was deep in thought when Gu Yifan approached and heard someone praising the little girl.

"Don't underestimate this little girl, she's definitely a master of the Three Kingdoms Kill card game, she's already won three games in a row."

"What a cool little sister."

"awesome."

Gu Yifan shook his head and, taking advantage of the little girl's complete focus on the cards in her hand, quietly walked up behind her.

He reached out and gently tapped the little girl's head.

"Ok!"

Xiao Dali quickly turned her head and found Gu Yifan looking at her with a smile.

"Let's go back and eat. We'll play again after we eat."

Just a moment ago, Xiao Dali had acted like a little adult, but now he suddenly became obedient, nodding and opening his arms, "Okay."

Gu Yifan lifted Xiao Dali up from across the sofa, pulling her onto his shoulders.

"Hey, why did you leave?"

"Yeah, yeah, we're sure to win this round! Don't go, let's fight another three hundred rounds!"

Xiao Hei, blinded by rage, refused to let Gu Yifan go when he saw Gu Yifan intending to take Zhuge Dali away.

"I'm going back to eat with Brother Yifan. You guys go ahead and play." Xiao Dali waved goodbye to the group.

"Xiao Hei, do you want to come along?" Gu Yifan gently kicked Xiao Hei with his foot.

Xiao Hei looked relieved and said without turning his head, "No, I've already eaten."

Gu Yifan shrugged and said, "Okay then."

Judging from Xiao Hei's appearance, he must have suffered quite a few setbacks at Dali's hands earlier.

As Gu Yifan left, he could still hear Xiao Hei shouting, "Come on, that enchanting girl is gone, let's start over!"

Gu Yifan blinked and looked up at the little girl.

Is the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill" fun?

Xiao Dali nodded seriously, "It's quite fun. I think there are still many rules that haven't been discovered yet."

Gu Yifan smiled wryly, "Then let's play again after we finish eating, but don't get too carried away."

The little girl nodded happily.

When Gu Yifan returned to 3601, he realized that he might have forgotten someone.

Oh, right, Zhang Wei.

Gu Yifan thought about it and decided to give up and stop looking. Zhang Wei would find him something to eat.

Push open the door to 3601 and go inside.

Lu Ziqiao, who was flirting with girls at the bar, suddenly sneezed.

Lu Ziqiao: Aren't I human? You bastard, talk to me! Am I human or not?!

On one side, there was a lively party; on the other, a warm family dinner.

Well, if you exclude Gu Yifan's three roommates, it was indeed a family dinner.

When Miss Qin came out of the room, she truly amazed everyone. She wore a long, flowing dress, stylish curly hair draped over her shoulders, and high heels.

Su Weiwei's eyes reddened upon seeing this.

Her charm has always been her strength, but I never expected to be challenged!
Gu Yifan's expression changed. Wait a minute, Yu Mo, why are you wearing Yi Fei's clothes in this red dress?

Fortunately, aside from stunning everyone, Miss Qin did not engage in any further provocative behavior that would only add fuel to the fire.

Lin Xiangyu and his two companions happily opened the beer they had brought. It was their first time spending the New Year away from home, but they didn't feel lonely at all.

We were all young people in our twenties, so we could chat together.

Seeing that the scene was harmonious, Gu Yifan was no longer worried.

After dinner, Xiao Dali and Xie Xun and the others went next door, where they were playing a murder mystery game.

Qin Yumo and Su Weiwei ultimately couldn't determine a winner.

Miss Qin secretly approached Su Fox and suggested they go next door to the winery to settle their differences.

Su Weiwei immediately agreed, and the two went next door to sample the wine.

Needless to say, Xinling is Gu Yifan's little shadow; wherever he goes, she follows.

"This won't do," Gu Yifan patted Xinling on the shoulder and gave her an important task: to monitor the situation next door and report back to him immediately if anything happened.

Who knows what kind of wonderful chemical reaction will occur when Teacher Zeng, Zhang Wei, and Lu Ziqiao, these three musketeers, get together?

But in reality, Gu Yifan also wanted Xinling to have some fun and interact with more young people, instead of staying in the dormitory every day during school and staying at home during holidays.

Xinling obediently left, saying she was going to help look after Sister Yumo and Sister Weiwei.

As soon as everyone left...

The once bustling suite is now less lively, but more peaceful.

Gu Yifan drew the curtains on the balcony before sitting down next to Zhuge Dasheng, who was sitting elegantly on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Perhaps due to her age, Ms. Zhuge was ultimately not quite used to this lively atmosphere.

"Madam, you must be very tired tonight."

Gu Yifan was very close to Zhuge Dasheng, and could smell her delicate fragrance. He chuckled softly.

Zhuge Dasheng glanced at him and said, "You're really bold, daring to gather us all here. Also, what's the deal with Yu Mo?"

Gu Yifan blinked, feigning ignorance, "What did you say, Madam? I don't understand."

Zhuge Dasheng had an expression that said he was too lazy to bother with a little thief like Gu Yifan, but he still leaned his shoulder closer to Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan raised his hand, put his arm around the lady's plump waist, and said with a smile, "Dali should be quite happy tonight. Shall we take her to the rooftop to set off fireworks later? I heard from my roommate that Dali would prefer you to do it with her."

Zhuge Dasheng tilted his head and rested it on Gu Yifan's shoulder. "I think he doesn't just want me to stay with him, he probably wants me to stay with you."

Gu Yifan nodded, "Dali is a very smart kid."

Zhuge Dasheng remained silent. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could she not understand Dali's subtle actions?

but
"If you are tired, Madam, you can rest in my arms for a while."

Gu Yifan whispered in Zhuge Dasheng's ear.

The warm breath she exhaled brushed against Zhuge Dasheng's sensitive earlobe, causing her to involuntarily tremble and feel a slight tingling sensation throughout her body.

"All your female confidantes next door are here, and you still dare to do that?"

Before Zhuge Dasheng finished speaking, he felt his earlobe become slightly damp.

Her beautiful eyes widened, but she could no longer utter a word.

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a long time, just as some of Zhuge Dasheng were about to lose their patience.

Gu Yifan's phone suddenly rang.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhuge Dasheng, with strength from who knows where, pushed Gu Yifan away a little.

Her cheeks were burning, her eyes were glazed, and most of the lip balm on her red lips had been eaten by the little man in front of her.

"Stop fooling around, wait a little longer."

Seeing Gu Yifan staring at him, Zhuge Dasheng lowered his head and whispered, unsure whether he was trying to persuade Gu Yifan or himself.

Gu Yifan smiled, and Madam Zhuge's cheeks flushed even more.

"Are you asking for a beating?!"

Here we go, the stern lawyer Zhuge is back at the factory within a limited time.

Gu Yifan shrugged, stood up, grabbed a tissue from the coffee table, and wiped his hands.

He then picked up the phone next to him.

It's a text message.

One of the messages was a New Year's greeting from Xu Hongdou; she still hadn't accepted Gu Yifan's invitation to visit her apartment.

She's probably still heartbroken over the departure of her best friend, Chen Nanxing.

However, Xu Hongdou also sent Gu Yifan a multimedia message photo.

The photo above shows her smiling at the camera without makeup, holding a small tortoiseshell cat in her arms, with several home-cooked dishes next to her, which she probably made herself.

Then another text message arrived.

Xu Hongdou explained that she went out this morning and unexpectedly found this kitten, which was hiding in the stairwell to keep warm.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, then took a picture of Xiao Shiwan sleeping on the sofa carpet, saying that he had also found Xiao Shiwan, and added a New Year's greeting.

Besides Xu Hongdou, the other text message was from Tang Youyou.

She first apologized for not being able to attend the party, explaining that she had taken on a last-minute role as an extra at an event that day, so she couldn't come.

As a background actor, Gu Yifan understands that he doesn't have the right to choose his roles.

However, Tang Youyou said that she was free the next day and could come to visit.

Oh, is Auntie's coming online early too?

Gu Yifan replied to Tang Youyou, saying it was okay and she was welcome to come visit. He also wished her a happy holiday and sent her his apartment address.

Let's wait and see how surprised Ziqiao will be when he meets his aunt.

Before Gu Yifan could put down his phone...

More New Year's greetings text messages started flooding in as soon as 10 o'clock arrived.

There were school classmates, Ms. Hu and Zhanbo, company employees, and Li Mingliang, who was showing off that he was on vacation in Hainan with his mother.

Gu Yifan then realized.

Before he knew it, he had met so many people and made so many friends in this world.

With so many text messages, it was impossible not to reply. Gu Yifan had no choice but to reply to a few important ones, while the others could only be edited and sent by the same editor.

After finishing all that, I looked at the clock and it was almost eleven o'clock.

Gu Yifan: "."

I hate New Year's greetings the most.

But Zhuge Dasheng was also holding a phone, constantly editing New Year's greetings. He looked somewhat helpless, reluctant to reply, but had no choice but to.

Gu Yifan felt relieved, and the two smiled at each other.

Just then, the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window, which had been gradually coming in since the afternoon, seemed to have triggered a switch.

One after another, very densely packed.

You can see the dazzling lights of fireworks even through the curtains.

"Let's go, let's call Dali to set off fireworks."

Gu Yifan made the suggestion.

"Okay, let's go." Zhuge Dasheng put down his phone, stood up, and stretched.

That's how they get along; it feels like they're an old married couple.
