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

The television studio.

After some decorations and a celebratory banner, the entire crew of "Nolan Says" arrived, waiting for the female lead to appear.

The door opens.

When Gu Yifan, Su Weiwei, and Nuolan walked in, the entire room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

This show can be considered a pioneering effort in the domestic solo talent show genre.

Compared to other more formal political programs, it's more like a variety show, with guests and hosts who are mostly young.

But the hot topics of discussion are precisely what young people are most concerned about right now.

"Professor Nuolan, you've arrived." The program director walked over quickly, followed by the TV station's leaders and Lisa.

Nuolan walked forward with a smile and greeted them one by one, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

"It's okay, it'll only be a little while."

"Nolan, you are a great contributor to this show."

Nuolan modestly shook her head, "The success of the program is not only due to my efforts, but also inseparable from the support of the leaders, Director Li's tireless program design, and the hard work of the program team."

"Nolan, you're still so good with words." Lisa, also dressed in a little suit, had a bright smile on her face.

After all, this show was created entirely by Lisa; she contributed to everything from the program planning to the hosting.

Lisa stepped forward and affectionately took Nolan's arm, "I see you forgot to mention a great contributor."

Upon hearing this, Nuolan blinked and subconsciously turned her head.

The eyes of several TV station leaders also fell on Gu Yifan, who was following behind Nuolan.

"Ahem, no need for thanks, we're family, no need for formalities. It's just that, sister, please stop bothering me with other program plans, I really can't squeeze any more out."

Gu Yifan hadn't said anything so as not to steal Nuolan's thunder, but now that everyone was looking over, he couldn't help but tease her playfully.

Upon hearing this, Lisa quickly said, "That won't do! Yifan, you have a new program plan, why didn't you tell me?"

The other TV station leaders also shook hands and greeted Gu Yifan. If he were just a program planner or Nuolan's younger brother, they naturally wouldn't have paid much attention to him.

But Gu Yifan is still the biggest investor in the show, so that's a different story.

Praises like "talented," "capable," and "promising" were lavished on Gu Yifan without restraint.

Faced with the station leaders' somewhat exaggerated praise, Gu Yifan vaguely felt that people wouldn't be so friendly for no reason; there was probably something else waiting for them.

really.

One of the leaders from the station spoke first.

"Mr. Gu's investments in several programs at the station have all been very successful; he has excellent foresight."

Someone nearby echoed.

"I think this is probably due to Xiao Gu's good luck."

"I wonder if Mr. Gu would be interested in making a few more moves so that other stations' programs can also benefit?"

Sure enough, they came to beg for alms.

Faced with the intense gazes of several station leaders, Gu Yifan agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, no problem. Our company also intends to expand our promotion. We will definitely help if there are good programs."

Finding investors has always been a way for TV stations to save costs.

After all, several TV stations or radio stations in Shanghai merged to form a state-owned enterprise group, so it definitely needs to make a profit.

You can't keep losing money.

Once you start investing in advertising and promotion, it's hard to stop.

Gu Yifan had no intention of stopping.

Although Eleba faces various problems and difficulties, they are only temporary technical problems or minor troubles.

It will not hinder the company's future development.

It is also very necessary to promote the company and build brand awareness; this is currently the company's biggest development strategy.

However, while investment is possible, Gu Yifan won't invest in every program, since young people ultimately make up the majority of those ordering takeout.

His publicity targets college students and young white-collar workers.

Therefore, there are conditions for being a generous spender.

However, we can discuss these things later. Agreeing now will save face for the leaders and make them pay more attention to Nuolan. Why not?

Seeing that Gu Yifan readily agreed and showed his initial intention, the station leaders were overjoyed.

Another round of free praise was showered upon Gu Yifan.

soon.

The victory celebration begins.
Watching Nuolan, dressed in a long dress, walk onto the stage that had been set up to speak.

Under the lights.

Nolan's light blue long dress shimmered with iridescent light under the lamplight, perfectly showcasing her elegant and gentle beauty.

Every smile and frown of hers exudes a beauty that is as beautiful as a national treasure.

If we're just talking about looks, Nuolan is undoubtedly the most beautiful girl among the group.

Gu Yifan sat below the stage, gazing at Nuolan on stage, somewhat lost in thought.

"How about it, beautiful, right?"

Gu Yifan noticed a bit more warmth beside him. Su Weiwei had moved closer to him and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

In the darkness, one could still sense a delicate little foot trying to slip into Gu Yifan's trouser leg.

"Stop it."

Gu Yifan was startled by the fox spirit's audacity and quickly withdrew his leg.

The program crew members were sitting all around.

If we get caught, that would be terrible.

But Su Weiwei, with a sly smile, slowly put on her high heels, crossed her legs, and said in a lazy tone.

"Don't change the subject. How do you like Xiao Lanlan?"

Gu Yifan had no idea what she was up to, so he honestly replied, "It's quite pretty."

Su Weiwei pouted, her tone not entirely satisfied, and said, "Oh? Then, between me and Nuolan, who's prettier?"

Gu Yifan chose not to answer such a potentially disastrous question.

"What are you planning now?"

Gu Yifan glanced at Su Weiwei and asked.

"Since it looks good, what are you still hesitating about?" Su Weiwei stopped teasing Gu Yifan, her expression turned serious, and she asked in a low voice with a smile.

"What hesitation? I didn't hesitate at all."

Gu Yifan was taken aback. He had thought the vixen beside him was just trying to win his favor, but he hadn't expected her to say this.

He subconsciously retorted to Su Weiwei.

"Of course you have! Nuolan has given you countless hints, both overt and covert. Why didn't you respond to her?"

Su Weiwei asked confidently.

Such a direct question.

Gu Yifan said that he felt something was off between the two women today, as if they were secretly plotting something.

However, Su Huli's sudden, direct question caught Gu Yifan off guard.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of hint are you implying?" Gu Yifan retorted verbally, but his mind was in turmoil because of Su Weiwei's words.

He's avoiding Nuolan's affections.
Gu Yifan turned his gaze back to the stage, where Nuolan was receiving a program award from the station's leaders.

I have to admit, there are some.

At least if Nuolan were replaced by Wanyu, or any of the girls around him who had feelings for him.

Their relationship hasn't progressed any further to this point.

Even Su Weiwei has figured it out now.

"You're running away!" Su Weiwei said, turning her flawless fox-like face to look directly at Gu Yifan when he remained silent.

"I'm not trying to run away, it's just that the time isn't right yet," Gu Yifan explained.

"The best time for what?" Su Weiwei's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Of course, it's about completely changing the relationship and the way we interact," Gu Yifan replied helplessly.

Su Weiwei nodded.

"That's it."

But then, out of the blue, Su Weiwei asked, "But if you can wait, how long can Nuolan wait for you?"

Gu Yifan was speechless for a moment. "Don't you understand how Nuolan feels about you?" Su Weiwei turned to look at Nuolan, who was shining brightly on the stage, her former rival and childhood best friend.

No one understands Nuolan better than Su Weiwei.

Even Gu Yifan wouldn't do it.

Su Weiwei was the one who could best sense Nuolan's emotional changes.

"You know what? Lately, Nuolan seems like she hasn't even emerged from winter. Aside from devoting all her time and energy to the show, she just sits on the sofa, staring blankly out the window."

"I haven't seen Nuolan look so lonely and forlorn in a long time."

Gu Yifan clenched his fists involuntarily.

One can imagine Nuolan, dressed in her pajamas, hugging her legs and resting her chin on her knees, lost in thought.

Su Weiwei looked at Nuolan smiling on the stage, then turned to look at Gu Yifan.

"I know what she's expecting."

"She's waiting for you. She wants to see you even more than I do."

"Nolan was willing to move out of her home for you, and even willing to share you with me. Even knowing that you were with that rich girl, she never thought of giving up."

"Xiao Fan."

"Ok?"

Gu Yifan's hand was gently grasped by Su Fox, her fingertips feeling cool and smooth with the touch of hand cream.

Su Weiwei lowered her voice and whispered, word by word.

"A girl's youth is very precious."

"Nolan has been waiting for you to grow up. Do you really want her to wait until she's old and frail? She's already twenty-seven."

Su Weiwei's words were deeply etched in Gu Yifan's heart.

Faced with a series of questions.

Gu Yifan paused for a long time before speaking bitterly.

"I'm just worried that if I do something, I won't be able to make any promises to you."

Gu Yifan finally voiced his concerns.

He couldn't give Nuolan, Su Weiwei, and Lin Wanyu the same care and love.

Gu Yifan initially thought about how to treat everyone equally, but now he realizes that a person's energy is limited.

Sometimes being a scumbag isn't so easy.

Especially when Gu Yifan saw the deep affection in the eyes of the girls around him, who had placed their hearts on him.

The sense of indebtedness and guilt in one's heart will only grow deeper and deeper.

He couldn't make promises to them, or even offer them long-term companionship, which is why Gu Yifan hesitated and paced back and forth.

Once you take that final step, there's no going back.

Seeing Gu Yifan's conflicted expression, Su Weiwei blinked her narrow fox-like eyes and burst out laughing.

"Pfft, Xiao Fan, you're so silly."

Gu Yifan: "?"

"Do you really think that dragging things out without taking the final step is a good thing for you and Nuolan?"

"I never imagined that Xiao Fan, who has grown into the great hero in my heart, would have such self-deceiving thoughts and get stuck on such trivial matters."

Gu Yifan blushed when he heard Su Weiwei's teasing words.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, Sister Vivi."

Gu Yifan knew what Su Weiwei wanted to say.

This kind of avoidance is not a solution to the problem at all.

If you want to refuse, don't give Nolan any hope in the first place.

Having come this far, does it even matter whether or not we take the final step?

On the contrary, it will disappoint Nuolan, and even make her feel bad.

Gu Yifan knew all of this, but before Su Weiwei exposed it, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

But now the truth has been revealed.

Perhaps it really is time to give Nuolan an explanation.

"Hmm." Su Weiwei didn't continue speaking, but instead boldly put her arm around Gu Yifan's arm and sighed.

"Really, according to other people's plans, Xiao Fan, you should have as few girls around you as possible, preferably just your sister."

"But now, I still have to help Xiao Lanlan. I'm actually feeling really bad."

When Gu Yifan saw that Su Weiwei had resumed her usual teasing tone, he couldn't help but chuckle twice.

I'd be a fool to believe you.

He was 100% certain that this was something Su Weiwei had planned in advance, and that she had made Nuolan sound so pitiful.

That being said
But there are some things that can't be put off any longer; Nolan's most youthful and beautiful years are only a short time away.

Su Weiwei glanced at Gu Yifan's thoughtful expression, a subtle smile curving her lips.

Little Lanlan, this time you didn't say I didn't help you.

The celebration has concluded.

The production crew then went to a restaurant that had been booked in advance for a meal.

Of course, the dinner party wouldn't be complete without the host, Nuolan, with Gu Yifan and Su Weiwei accompanying them.

Although no one deliberately forced anyone to drink, it was just a normal toast.

But Nuolan doesn't drink much, and since she was in a good mood, she had a few more drinks.

He quickly became somewhat drunk.

Gu Yifan tried to help Nuolan back to the private room, but she waved her hand and refused, saying, "I'm not drunk, I don't need you to help me, Xiaofan."

As she spoke, Nuolan pushed open the door to the private room.

"Lisa~ Come on, let's have a drink together. Oh, where are the other leaders?"

Nolan was puzzled to see that only Lisa and a female assistant director were in the private room.

Lisa quickly said, "The leaders are getting on in years, so they'll be leaving now. Nolan, how much did you drink?"

"Hehe, I didn't drink much," Nuolan said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Knowing that the leader was not present, Nuolan seemed to unleash her true nature.

He kept talking to Lisa.

"Yifan, Nuolan is probably drunk. Why don't you take her home first?" Lisa had never seen Nuolan this difficult before. Surprised, she turned to Gu Yifan for help.

Gu Yifan hadn't even spoken yet.

"I'm not going with this bastard," Nuolan interjected, pouting.

That coquettish tone made Lisa raise an eyebrow.

Nuolan didn't even glance at Gu Yifan, and continued muttering, "You promised me, but you didn't keep your promise. You didn't even come to see me and you're avoiding me. Fine, keep avoiding me then!"

"Gu Yifan! He's a heartless bastard!"

Su Weiwei reacted quickly and rushed forward, covering Nuolan's mouth with her hand.

Nolan: "Mmm mmm"

"What did Nolan just say?" Lisa asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing," Gu Yifan said, while giving Su Weiwei a wink.

But Lisa still had some doubts.

"I think I heard the word 'faithless man'?"

"No, no, Lisa, you misheard," Su Weiwei denied.

Lisa squinted, struggling with the decision for a long time.

"Could it be that"

Seeing Lisa turn her suspicious gaze on him, Gu Yifan had a bad feeling.

At this time.

Nuolan, nestled in Su Weiwei's arms like a little bird, suddenly muttered something.

"I don't like him at all."

Lisa's attention shifted, and she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening, "Nolan has someone she likes?" (End of Chapter)
