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

Lin's mother passed away the day after the Lantern Festival.

Although Miss Lin had been secretly complaining to Gu Yifan for several days about why her mother still hadn't returned home.

This made it so that if she and Gu Yifan wanted to be intimate or affectionate, they had to do it secretly, like they were doing something wrong.

But when Lin's mother told her that she had booked a plane ticket and was preparing to leave Shanghai, Wanyu still cried her eyes out.

Maybe that's just how girls are.

Lin's mother comforted her daughter, saying that her father was all alone in New York with no one to take care of him, how could he manage?

Lin's mother was worried that her husband would become so engrossed in his work that he forgot everything else, so she had to hurry back to take care of her father.

However, after Lin's mother whispered something to her daughter, Wanyu blushed and her tears stopped.

Unfortunately, when Gu Yifan asked Miss Lin out of curiosity, she hesitated and refused to say what her mother had told her.

At the airport, I watched Lin's mother walk into the terminal.

They will leave on a private jet belonging to Lin's International Bank.

Gu Yifan then returned home with Wanyu.

"Yay! Mom's finally back home. Now it's just the two of us again!"

In the parking lot.

Lin Wanyu, who had been reluctant to part with her mother, happily hugged Gu Yifan's arm like a frolicking lamb.

Although I know that women are fickle.

But Gu Yifan didn't expect Wan Yu to switch so quickly and naturally.

Gu Yifan: "."

Feel Gu Yifan's strange gaze.

Lin Wanyu knew exactly what he was thinking. Her face flushed, and she raised her fist in a show of defiance, saying, "Don't look at me like that!"

Gu Yifan laughed and said, "I didn't say anything."

"But your eyes have already betrayed you!" Lin Wanyu said smugly, lightly stepping on Gu Yifan's foot, which Gu Yifan dodged.

"Hey, you dare to hide!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Gu Yifan shrugged and went to get the car.

Lin Wanyu opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and recalled her private conversation with her mother.

In short, there are two things.

The first thing was Lin's mother's instructions to Wanyu.

She had to be more reserved. Before her daughter could even try to argue, Lin's mother calmly exposed her daughter's lie.

Don't assume that Lin Wanyu has become increasingly bold these past few days, always finding opportunities to be intimate with Gu Yifan, and that Lin's mother hasn't noticed.

Every time, her daughter was disheveled, her face was flushed, and her eyes were darting around. Lin's mother was an experienced woman, so how could she not know what was wrong with her daughter's appearance?

Lin Wanyu has been caught leaving Gu Yifan's room twice by her mother alone.

Lin Wanyu blushed and couldn't say a word.

But Lin's mother was too lazy to educate her daughter on this matter anymore, since saying more would be useless.

He simply told his daughter that if she got pregnant, she would have to go back to New York with Gu Yifan.

Let Lin Wanyu weigh the options herself: whether she wants to stay in Shanghai and enjoy life outside for a few more years, or she wants to go back home as soon as possible to get married and inherit the family business.

Lin Wanyu was naturally extremely shy; she had never even considered having a child.

She would never have a child with that scoundrel Gu Yifan.

The second thing is also very simple.

It won't be long.

Around the middle of the year, Lin's mother and father would come to Shanghai together, or rather, to Southeast University.

I remember the last time Lin's father came to see his daughter, he also met with some important figures in Shanghai.

The discussions revolved around various investments, charitable projects, and so on.

After more than half a year.

It seems like a result has been reached.

Mr. Lin plans to expand his investments in Hong Kong and increase the business of the Hong Kong branch of Lin's International Bank, etc.

It could be a bet on both sides, or it could be a plan to abandon darkness and embrace light.

However, these major events concerning the future of the behemoth that is Lin's International Bank are still too far removed from Lin Wanyu's current situation.

All she knew was that her father seemed to be planning to build a new headquarters building for the Lin's International Bank in Hong Kong.

Doesn't that mean her father intends to move more of the business to Hong Kong? That would definitely be good news for Lin Wanyu.

If that's the case, then she won't have to worry about whether to stay at Dongda with Gu Yifan or go back to New York.

Lin's mother also reminded her daughter.

These things must never be told to outsiders, and must be kept secret even from Gu Yifan for the time being.

That's why Lin Wanyu didn't tell him when Gu Yifan asked her curiously.

The two returned to the apartment.

Gu Yifan had just put down Wan Yu's bag when he heard the door click as it was locked from the inside.

The balcony curtains were slammed shut, instantly dimming the light inside the room.

Gu Yifan turned his head in surprise.

But he saw Miss Lin standing with her hands on her hips, her pretty face flushed, staring intently at him.

The implication is self-evident.

"It's only noon now, isn't it? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Gu Yifan paused for a moment before saying awkwardly.

Miss Lin narrowed her eyes with an air of domineering confidence, "My mom's gone, who can control me now!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come and hug me!"

Hearing Wan Yu's spoiled tone, Gu Yifan felt his bones soften, as if a lightning bolt had struck his body, and he couldn't help but shudder.

It seems like we haven't discovered Wan Yu's arrogant and haughty young lady persona yet.

Gu Yifan obediently walked up to Wan Yu, and the two looked at each other.

"Young Miss, what is it?"

Seeing that Gu Yifan was cooperating, Lin Wanyu blinked happily, "What else could it be? I'm tired, come with me back to my room to rest!"

Gu Yifan was shocked. "Miss, I sell my art, not my body!"

Lin Wanyu spat, "You should be grateful that I even looked at you. You're asking for trouble, not to sell your body!"

"If you make me happy, you'll get tons of US dollars!"

Gu Yifan suppressed his panicked expression and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

You asked for this yourself!

With a small gasp from Lin Wanyu, Gu Yifan unexpectedly reached out and swept Wanyu up in his arms.

Look how quickly Gu Yifan has changed.

"Gu Yifan, please...please don't do this, I'm scared."

Lin Wanyu's carefully constructed image of a spoiled young lady crumbled somewhat as she wrapped her arms around Gu Yifan's neck and whispered in a soft, sweet voice.

"Now you're scared, but it's too late!"

Gu Yifan's burning eyes looked at Lin Wanyu's weak, lamb-like gaze.

Lin Daiyu's beautiful face, as lovely as the moon and flowers, was truly charming and captivating.

Gu Yifan leaned down and said softly.

"It's your own fault, Miss, so you'd better take full responsibility."

Feeling Gu Yifan's warm breath on her neck, Lin Wanyu shrank back even more, becoming even more frightened.

She feared she would be torn apart by the impending storm.

It could...it could kill someone!
Sometimes, proving your ability isn't about asking, "Are you having fun?" but rather, "Are you tired?"

But that's it.

Lin Wanyu mustered her courage and stubbornly shouted, "Who's afraid of who's a little dog!"

Gu Yifan nodded; that was exactly what he was waiting for.

Keep up the good spirits, Wanyu, don't embarrass us!
It continued until after 4 p.m.

After returning, they were like Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu who had been out of contact, only to reappear at the bar downstairs.

This was even with Miss Lin begging for mercy in a tearful voice.

Cai also loves to play.

This is the evaluation Gu Yifan gave to Lin Wanyu.

However, Lin Daiyu wasn't angry at all; on the contrary...
The sofa in the bar booth.

Lin Wanyu hugged Gu Yifan's neck tightly, nestled against him, and gazed at him with adoring eyes.

Miss Lin's demure and submissive demeanor made Guan Gu and Teacher Zeng shake their heads in disbelief.

You beast, you beast!

Especially with two single guys sitting right in front of him, can't you be a little more considerate?
"Wanyu, did your mother go back?" Guan Gu coughed and asked.

Lin Wanyu then got up from Gu Yifan's arms and sat down to the side, nodding.

"Yes."

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly realized and grinned mischievously.

"No wonder you two only came down now. You two must have been cooped up for days, quack quack quack."

Seeing Teacher Zeng's smug smile, Gu Yifan rolled his eyes. "Teacher Zeng, you're just being a sour grapes."

"Teacher Zeng, you wouldn't be thinking about Selena, would you?" Lin Wanyu's words seemed to be laced with venom, directly touching on Zeng Xiaoxian's eternal pain.

Zeng Xiaoxian:
Gu Yifan glanced sideways at Teacher Zeng, whose expression changed in an instant.

What's wrong? Don't you like to laugh? Keep laughing.

Seeing this, Guan Gu stepped in to smooth things over, "By the way, Yifan, your school starts tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm." Gu Yifan stopped targeting the fragile Teacher Zeng and took a sip of his hot cocoa.

With the Lantern Festival over, the start of the new school year is just around the corner, and tomorrow is registration day.

I'm about to get busy again.

At best, it's just repeating the same process as last semester.

And the most challenging first semester of freshman year is over; things will only get easier from here on out.

Gu Yifan didn't pay much attention.

Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed, "Yifan is still in college? I feel like it's not real."

"What, Professor Zeng, do you also want to go back to university?" Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow, subtly implying that he was old.
Lin Wanyu chimed in, "Then let's not do it, otherwise Teacher Zeng will run into Laura again."

"You! You two ganged up on an old man like me, is that fair?!" Zeng Xiaoxian was hurt once again, and said with grief and indignation.

Lin Wanyu reached out and hugged Gu Yifan's neck. "It's because Teacher Zeng said that Gu Yifan doesn't seem like a college student. Our Fanfan is just mature and steady."

Guan Gu couldn't stand the saccharine scent of romance any longer and exchanged a glance with Zeng Xiaoxian.

"I suddenly want to go back to the apartment, Teacher Zeng."

"me too."

The two slunk away, accompanied by Miss Lin's giggling laughter.

The two light bulbs are gone.

However, this did not hinder Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu at all, and the two were just about to continue their affectionate time.

Lu Ziqiao rushed into the bar in a flurry of activity.

"Yifan, Wanyu, have you seen Meijia?"

"Meijia?" Gu Yifan thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, what happened? Did you make Meijia angry again?"

"Hey Ziqiao, have you thought about how to make it up to Meijia?" Wanyu asked as well.

The reason I say this is because the day after Mika returned, which was Valentine's Day, was also Mika's birthday.

But Ziqiao completely forgot about it. Although Ziqiao was also tricked by everyone.

Yifei created a new social media account called 'Lonely Little White Rabbit', and together with Wanyu and Yumo, they tricked Ziqiao.

This helped Meijia vent her anger.

However, the relationship between Ziqiao and Meijia, which had improved considerably, plummeted to its lowest point again.

Ziqiao has been thinking about how to buy a birthday present to make up for his mistake these past few days.

"Of course I've thought it through. I bought a gift and went to 3603 to apologize to Meijia, but..." Ziqiao looked flustered.

Gu Yifan had a bad feeling and sat up straight, urging him to hurry.

"but what?"

“But Meijia isn’t in the room, and her room is empty,” Ziqiao said in a panic.

"Huh?!" Wan Yu exclaimed in surprise.

They rushed back to the apartment, and on the way, the three of them ran into Guan Gu and Teacher Zeng.

The group rushed into 3603 to take a look.

Sure enough, Meijia's room was basically empty; her clothes, suitcase, and cosmetics on her dressing table had all disappeared.

Meijia seems to have followed Teacher Zeng's example and quietly moved out.

Everyone tried calling Meijia, but no one answered.

"What happened? Why is Meijia missing?" Upon receiving the news, Ms. Hu, who was busy with the start of the school year and had rushed back from school, asked impatiently as soon as she entered the door.

"Feifei, we were just about to ask you something. You live in 3603, didn't Meijia tell you she was moving out?" Lin Wanyu stepped forward and hugged Hu Yifei's arm as she asked.

"No," Ms. Hu replied, looking equally bewildered.

She tried hard to remember.

“Meijia’s expression has been quite normal these past few days, just a bit quiet. I’ve been busy with school these past few days and haven’t had time to look after her. I thought she was still angry about her birthday.”

As she spoke, Hu Yifei's face showed more anger as she looked at Zi Qiao, who was sitting silently on the sofa, staring blankly out onto the balcony.

"Hey Lu Ziqiao, did you make Meijia angry again? Is that why she left without saying goodbye?"

Ziqiao looked dejected and didn't immediately defend himself, but said bitterly.

"What do you think? I don't even have time to apologize to Mika."

Seeing that Ms. Hu was about to say something more, Gu Yifan stopped her, saying, "Alright, Yifei, I don't think it's necessarily Ziqiao's fault."

Although Gu Yifan was initially surprised that Meijia left without saying goodbye, it was indeed a similar incident in the story.

Meijia's dilemma is not only because of Ziqiao, but also because of her own future, relationships, and many other aspects.

Gu Yifan originally thought that with the board game arcade now thriving and another arcade near the university town about to open, Meijia wouldn't be so impulsive as to leave without saying goodbye.

As expected, it did come.

"Perhaps Meijia wants to go out and clear her head. Meijia is usually a bit clumsy, but she's very serious about what she does," Gu Yifan advised Ms. Hu.

"Perhaps she just wanted to go out for a walk, like Teacher Zeng, and then she'll come back."

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao's eyes lit up, and he calmed down considerably. "Yifan is right. Meijia probably just wants to go out and clear her head."

Therefore, everyone had no choice but to accept Mika's departure.

Ms. Hu also blamed herself for not noticing Meijia's feelings despite living with her.

Fortunately, Gu Yifan said that Meijia is now quite wealthy and doesn't need to worry about not having enough money.

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Not only Meijia, but Zhang Wei also said goodbye after returning from get off work in the evening.

After all, Zhang Wei initially just wanted to have a drink with Gu Yifan to drown his sorrows.

I never expected to end up spending the New Year in the apartment without even realizing it.

Now that the injury has almost healed, what needs to be faced will eventually have to be faced.

For example, my wedding with Xiaoli.

Seeing Zhang Wei grinning from ear to ear, still inviting everyone to his wedding, Gu Yifan felt a pang of guilt.

But there wasn't a good reason to keep Zhang Wei.

Before leaving, Gu Yifan still chatted with Zhang Wei, subtly reminding him that Xiao Li might not love him very much, and perhaps she had someone else in her heart.

But Zhang Wei disagreed.

In his view, the die is cast.

He believed that life would gradually improve once the two of them officially got married and held a wedding ceremony, and Xiaoli would gradually accept him, as long as he was willing to work hard and strive.

Gu Yifan was helpless.

This isn't something that can be solved simply by working hard and giving Xiaoli hope for a better life, Viagra.

But what else could Gu Yifan say?

He simply stated that he would definitely attend Zhang Wei's wedding.

After generously treating everyone to a meal of spicy hot pot downstairs, Zhang Wei also left temporarily.

As a result, the apartment entered a period of quiet closure.

Furthermore, because Yu Mo went home to visit her family, Mei Jia left without saying goodbye, leaving Ms. Hu all alone.

Anyway.

A quarter of 2008 has already passed.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the first day of school.

Gu Yifan drove Ms. Hu to the school early in the morning.

"Would you like to have lunch together?"

Before getting out of the car, Ms. Hu extended an invitation to Gu Yifan.

"It might not work. I promised my roommate I'd have lunch with me," Gu Yifan said, scratching the back of his neck.

Ms. Hu angrily slammed the car door shut and got out.

"Fine, fine, then just leave me alone."

Having to spend the night in the empty 3603 and go to work alone during the day, Ms. Hu started to feel stressed after just one night.

An idea uncontrollably popped into her mind.

Could we move back to 3601?
Inside the car, Gu Yifan saw that Yifei was clearly angry and felt somewhat helpless.

Ms. Hu's mood is like a thunderstorm, coming and going, unpredictable and ever-changing.

However, Gu Yifan could understand Yifei's feelings to some extent. With Meijia and Yumo not around, and Hu Yifei being the type who enjoys lively gatherings, she would probably feel quite uncomfortable.

Gu Yifan originally planned to invite Yifei to dinner together that night, and then secretly go to room 3603 to surprise her in the middle of the night.

Alright, let's keep this surprise for now and scare Ms. Hu away tonight.

Gu Yifan started the car and drove towards the dormitory.

He really had something to do at noon.

I remember Xie Xun and the others worked hard all winter break and finally got their wages.

Everyone received a five-figure sum, and the first digit wasn't even one.

It's equivalent to an average person's salary for one or even two years.

The reason they earned so much was not because Gu Yifan intentionally took care of them.

The main reason is that Ele.me is currently in an expansion phase and needs to use initial investment to gain greater influence, which means spending money to expand the market.

Gu Yifan was generous in his investment in this area, and Lin Wanyu was even less so.

Therefore, they were very generous to salespeople like Lin Xiangyu and Xie Xun who were out there running business with merchants in the early stages.

You can earn hundreds of yuan in commission for signing a merchant to join the platform, and there are also various rewards depending on the size of the merchant.

Lin Xiangyu and Xie Xun are shameless enough to pester each other relentlessly. Unless someone chases them away with a broom, they just won't leave.

As a result, the business volume is quite good.

Guan Chao's earnings might be lower, but they will still definitely exceed 10,000.

After receiving his salary, Xie Xun messaged Gu Yifan the next day, saying he wanted to treat him to a meal.

Finally, the date was set for the start of the school term, mainly because Xiao Jing seemed to be returning from the south that day as well, making it a double celebration, and Gu Yifan couldn't refuse.

We arrived at the dormitory building.

Gu Yifan saw a group of people gathered together from afar.

I found an empty spot and parked the car.

Gu Yifan got out of the car and walked over, where there were several familiar faces.

"Monkeys? Xiaoyang, what are you all doing gathered around here?"

Hearing Gu Yifan's voice.

The monkey, who was still tiptoeing and peeking around, turned around and greeted politely, "Oh, Mr. Gu, you're here too."

Gu Yifan nodded and joked, "So, did the Empress Dowager reward you, Steward Monkey, when we got back to the capital?"

The monkey chuckled and said, "Oh dear, I'm so glad the Empress Dowager didn't blame me. She even rewarded me! I almost got a beating when I got back because I didn't do my job well."

Gu Yifan gave a thumbs up, "Your monkey is amazing, it would be perfect to play Wei Zhongxian."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Yang Xiaoyang, a classmate of Gu Yifan, scratched the back of his head and tentatively asked, "I heard Xie Xun and the others say that he earned money with you during the winter break?"

Gu Yifan nodded. "Yes, my company was short-staffed during the winter break."

Now, the other students were looking at Gu Yifan with increasing fervor.

Gu Yifan asked Xie Xun and the others to help promote the business and see which classmates wanted to make money so they could work together.

However, most of the students did not stay, and in the end only Xie Xun and two others remained.

But now that Xie Xun has actually picked up his car, everyone knows his situation. The fact that he can pick up a car means he's making a lot of money with Gu Yifan.

Seeing is believing, and many people were tempted, or regretted not staying to work together.

At this moment, Xie Xun squeezed through the crowd and rushed over excitedly, "Young Master Gu, why are you so late?"

Gu Yifan was taken aback. "Am I late?"

Lin Xiangyu also came over to join in the fun, putting his arm around Guan Chao's shoulder and poking Xie Xun's tires.

"It's not too late. The main thing is that Xie Xun couldn't wait to show off his new car. He's been waiting for this day to start school."

Gu Yifan suddenly realized, "So you really picked up the car?"

Xie Xun scratched his head and chuckled.

After the students from other classes dispersed, a brand-new silver Buick Excelle appeared before Gu Yifan's eyes.

It's a classic car that you can see everywhere, but the price isn't cheap these days.

Although it's still far from Gu Yifan's Land Rover, it's definitely something to be proud of for a student to be able to afford a car.

Gu Yifan was quite surprised, turned around and punched Xie Xun on the shoulder with a smile, "Didn't you tell me you picked up your car?"

Guan Chao curled his lip, "Don't even mention you, Mr. Gu, this little rascal told me everything, he even kept it from me and Xiang Yu."

You can see envy in Guan Chao's eyes.

After receiving the money, Guan Chao kept only a portion for his own living expenses and gave the rest to his grandmother.

Lin Xiangyu clicked his tongue. "This car isn't cheap. It's much better than my dad's Volkswagen Santana, but the monthly payments must be quite high."

"It's alright, I calculated it and I should be able to pay it back." Xie Xun said dismissively, as his phone vibrated.

Xie Xun quickly took out his phone and looked at it with great surprise. "Xiao Jing will be here soon too. Let's go pick her up at the train station."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "You guys go first, I'll go pick someone up."

"By the way, Xun-ge, there might be a few more girls at noon, do you mind?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xun exclaimed, "Is that Xinling?"

Gu Yifan nodded. Erxi and Xia Xingchen were also coming back today. Xinling even asked Gu Yifan if he was free, wanting him to go with her to pick them up.

Well, at least we made it in time.

Xie Xun naturally had no choice but to agree, patting his chest to indicate that it was no problem.

"Then you go to the train station first, I'll be there shortly." (End of Chapter)
