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

Late at night, Ziqiao dragged his exhausted body back home.

3602.

The group was gathered together, playing a new situational detective game released by the board game club.

Or it could be called a murder mystery game.

This thing isn't very new; it's been popular abroad for a long time, and people from Tokyo University have also launched it one after another.

The board game club downstairs also took the opportunity to launch several different types of murder mystery games, including detective, historical, fantasy, and romance themes.

The main reason is.

After Meijia left, her partners, Ms. Hu and Ms. Qin, suddenly realized that the store's business was slowly declining.

It's not that nobody comes.

It just didn't have the same lively atmosphere as before.

Although they also frequently go to the store to serve customers.

But no one can be as approachable and harmless as Mika, able to become good friends with everyone.

The impact of Mika leaving the apartment has not faded with time.

Many long-time customers keep asking where Meijia is, when she will be back, and why she hasn't updated her social media.

Yifei and the others then realized that Meijia had unknowingly gained so many friends who cared about her.

Ms. Hu was reflecting on this matter when...

"boom!"

Ziqiao rushed into the suite in a disheveled state and slammed the door shut.

They looked at each other, bewildered.

What are you doing here?

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Bu? Weren't you supposed to be on a date with a foreign friend tonight? Why are you back so late?"

Ms. Hu had always believed that Zi Qiao was the culprit behind Mei Jia's departure.

Now that Ziqiao has returned, he is even more furious and immediately launched into sarcastic remarks.

"Bullshit, what foreign friend? He's just a..." Ziqiao almost blurted out, but out of consideration for his pride, he didn't say the last sentence.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Wei chuckled and said, "Transvestites, we know that~"

"You know?" Ziqiao asked, dumbfounded.

"Tina texted Gao Jian and complained for a long time. She actually likes you quite a bit. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person," Gu Yifan said seriously, suppressing a laugh.

"Hey! So, you guys teamed up to prank me, didn't you?!" Ziqiao was furious.

These people have no idea how agonizing those two hours he was stuck in traffic were!

He felt extremely uncomfortable every time Tina got a little closer, but he couldn't just say it outright.

"Don't say such harsh things. If you weren't deliberately trying to hook up with beautiful women and have a romantic encounter, things wouldn't have turned out like this." Miss Lin had absolutely no sympathy for Ziqiao.

"Exactly! Yifan's bar just opened, and you're already going to pick up girls. Are you only happy when Yifan's bar goes out of business?"

Faced with Ms. Hu and Wan Yu's coordinated performance, and everyone's nodding in agreement, the situation became clear.

Ziqiao was speechless after being rebuked.

She then sought help from her aunt.

"Auntie, are you joining them in targeting me too?"

"There's nothing I can do about it, nephew. You were wrong to do this. That's why I found out about Meijia." Youyou spread her hands regretfully, indicating that she couldn't help.

Especially after listening to everyone recount the love-hate relationship between Ziqiao and Meijia.

Youyou even felt that her nephew was a bit of a jerk.

How could I possibly speak up for Ziqiao?

When Meijia was mentioned, Ziqiao fell silent, his expression shifting several times, filled with grief and indignation.

"Fine, go ahead and target me! I promise I'll never go to bars to pick up girls again!"

"That's great! You must keep your word!" Miss Qin clapped her hands and smiled.

Enraged, Ziqiao turned and stormed out of the suite, slamming the door behind him.

"Bam—!"

"Ziqiao, where are you going?" Youyou tried to get up when she saw this, but was stopped by Ms. Hu.

"Who cares? He's a grown man, he can't possibly run away. Youyou, remember how much your doting mother spoils her son! And how much your auntie spoils her nephew too!"

Gu Yifan didn't care much. Everyone knew what kind of person Ziqiao was, and it was basically impossible to reform him through this kind of blow.

In just a few days, he'll be back to his usual carefree, grinning self.

All I can say is that this kid is really living a carefree life.

next day
Gu Yifan was preparing to leave for the company.

Ziqiao knocked on the door of 3601.

"Ziqiao? Did you stay up all night?" Gu Yifan looked at Ziqiao, who had two panda eyes, in surprise and asked.

Ziqiao said as soon as he came up.

"Yifan, can you help me find Meijia?"

Gu Yifan shook his head regretfully, "There's nothing I can do about this. Meijia didn't tell me where she went either."

"What, you want to apologize to Mika?"

Ziqiao scratched his head and vehemently denied it.

"I didn't! I didn't do anything to wrong her."

Gu Yifan nodded. "Oh."

I was about to close the door.

Seeing this, Ziqiao quickly blocked the door, scratching his head dejectedly, "But...but I think I have a problem!"

Gu Yifan glanced at Ziqiao.

Pshaw, what a hypocrite.

Actually, Zi Qiao wasn't very happy during the time Mei Jia was away.

At first, he was naturally anxious when Meijia disappeared. Later, he discovered that Meijia had really left and cut off all contact with him and everyone else, leaving no trace.

I had no choice but to put aside my anxiety for the time being.

But soon after, Ziqiao found that he couldn't feel any attraction to any girl. He finally managed to get Xiao Hei downstairs to set up a "heart-fluttering device," but fake attraction can't compare to real attraction.

In summary, he thought he had moved on, but in reality he hadn't.

So Ziqiao didn't sleep all night, feeling that his inner conflict, the indifferent attitude of everyone towards him, and the reason why Meijia left without saying goodbye were all the reasons.

Ziqiao wants to find Meijia and ask her what happened, whether it was because of him.

"Yifan, help me!" Ziqiao said emotionally, grabbing Gu Yifan's hand.

Gu Yifan glanced at Ziqiao.

"Meijia is traveling all over the country, but I really don't know exactly where she is, but..."

"But what?"

"However, Mika sent back a few letters. She wasn't supposed to let you see them, but you can take a look."

As Gu Yifan spoke, he turned and walked into the suite, rummaged through a drawer and found two letters and a postcard, which he then handed over.

Ziqiao quickly took it, pursed his dry lips, sat down on the sofa, but didn't open it for a long time.

"What did Meijia say in her letter?" Ziqiao didn't dare to look, actually worried that it contained something about him, so he turned to Gu Yifan for confirmation.

"You'll see when you look," Gu Yifan said casually as he straightened his collar in front of the mirror.

"."

Ziqiao opened the envelope, took out the letter, and found several photos inside. He felt an urge to laugh as soon as he saw the photos.

However, it wasn't the kind of laugh that couldn't be suppressed; it was a smile tinged with sadness.

In the photo, Meijia is wearing a pink cotton coat, standing by the Great Wall, holding a cup of white fungus and pear soup. Outside, everything is covered in snow. Meijia smiles happily at the camera.

She was still the same familiar Meijia, but the genuine happiness on her face made Ziqiao feel a little down.

There was a feeling he didn't want to admit, but had to.
Mika left the apartment, left him, and seemed unaffected; in fact, she seemed even happier.
The other photos were taken by Mika during her travels. She went to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, traveled west to Xinjiang, and saw Sayram Lake, which is known as the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean.

In the photo, Mika is wearing a colorful headscarf, holding a handful of clear lake water, with the azure lake behind her.
There are also photos of Meijia with yaks, and scenic photos of the Kunlun Mountains.
Ziqiao was stunned for a long time before looking at the letter.

"Still such ugly handwriting," Ziqiao couldn't help but complain.

Gu Yifan couldn't help but chuckle. Indeed, Meijia's handwriting was really bad; each stroke looked like a child's.

They are no match for Ms. Hu's domineering presence, Miss Lin's delicate beauty, or Cyndi Wang's gentle charm.

But Ziqiao found it very relatable.
"Hi Wanyu, Yifan~ How are you all doing at Xiaoshiwan and the apartment? What interesting things happened while I was away? (Except for that bastard Lu Ziqiao!)"

Ziqiao pursed his lips to hide his downcast smile, "That Chen Meijia even mentioned me specifically."

"I miss everyone in the apartment so much, and I hope you're all doing well."

"During this time away from home, I traveled to many places, including the capital city, which I'd always wanted to visit. I watched the flag-raising ceremony, though it was a bit too crowded."

"We also went to many other places, including the Palace Museum and the vast grasslands, which were really beautiful and spectacular. We also went to XJ."

"I've realized for the first time how big the world really is. I used to think my heart was too small. I don't even want to go back~ Hehe, just kidding."

As Ziqiao looked at the envelope, a smile gradually appeared on his lips, revealing an uncle's smile. Gu Yifan knew this would happen.

Meijia may not be very educated, only having a high school diploma, but the sincerity in her writing is by no means lacking.

These two letters only mentioned some trivial daily events that Meijia encountered on her travels.

But Gu Yifan could tell.

Mika has indeed changed.

She became more cheerful and confident, and met many fellow travelers on the same journey.

So, in the end, Meijia apologized to Yifei and Yumo, knowing that many customers were waiting for her to return and left messages on her social media.

However, she has no plans to end her trip so soon.

It's not that she hasn't figured it out yet, it's that she hasn't had enough fun, so she asked Yifei and the others to forgive her for being willful this time, and so on.

"I'm doing great, really great! Wow, I've written so much already. I'll share the rest with you all when I get back."

Read the conclusion.

Ziqiao took a deep breath and sniffed.

He could sense the true freedom and joy that Meijia had gained after escaping the city.

Ziqiao's anxiety finally eased somewhat.

At least Mika seems to be having a good time.

But Ziqiao felt a little sad because Meijia had left the apartment and him. Without the daily chores, she was happier making lunch for everyone.

She left him and is doing very well.

He left her but is now living a miserable life.
"This isn't fair! Meijia is having so much fun on her own, and I have to take all the criticism from Yifei and the others!" Ziqiao muttered to himself in frustration.

He folded the letter again and put it back in the envelope.

"So, now you know that Meijia is living a pretty happy life, right? Don't worry about her." Gu Yifan walked over and urged Ziqiao.

"Hurry up and go, I have a meeting this morning."

"Tch, who's worried about this woman? I'm not." Ziqiao stubbornly stood up.

"I made a decision!"

"Are you going to the palace to become a eunuch?" Gu Yifan was startled by Zi Qiao's sudden shout and said irritably.

Ziqiao ignored Gu Yifan.

His eyes were firm.

"I also want to make my life fulfilling and enjoyable. I won't lose to that woman Chen Meijia in this reunion challenge."

"What Heavy Edge Challenge?"

On the second floor, Ms. Hu pushed open the door, lazily draped her arm over the railing, and looked down.

His eyes held a half-smile.

She clearly already knew that Ziqiao had read Meijia's letter.

"Didn't I tell you not to show this to Ziqiao? It'll drive him crazy," Yifei said to Gu Yifan half-jokingly.

"Ziqiao, you're fully recovered again?" Miss Lin yawned as she walked out of the room.

"You don't understand, these are the unwritten rules of the underworld that only Mika and I have come to know! The reason she portrayed her life so perfectly was all for this reunion challenge!"

Ziqiao said confidently.

"Let's see who's doing better! I won't lose to her."

"Chen Meijia, just you wait!"

After saying that, Zi Qiao, now fully recovered, pushed open the door and left.

"Hey, Ziqiao, where are you going?"

"Go find Zhang Wei and get a trendy haircut with me!"

"This guy could have been quiet for a few days, but now look what happened. I think it's all Ziqiao's wishful thinking. I didn't see Meijia mentioning any reunion challenge."

Ms. Hu went downstairs, came to the coffee table, picked up the envelope, and asked suspiciously.

"I don't think so." Gu Yifan rubbed his chin. No one knew whether Meijia had this ulterior motive when she wrote this letter.
Six pm.

The brand-new Moonlight Bar has officially opened for business.

The bar will continue its daytime cafe and nighttime bar model, operating until 4 a.m., just like the previous bar.

Of course, there are differences.

In addition to the opening benefits, a hastily made poster of Zhang Wei was displayed at the store entrance, but the Photoshop work was quite obvious.

But Zhang Wei was already extremely satisfied with the poster.

"Yifan, could you give me this poster after the event? I'd like to keep it for myself."

"No problem, but Wei-ge, you'd better be ready, right? Get ready." Gu Yifan nodded in agreement, patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, and asked.

"Don't worry, I did some cramming on common lawsuits young people encounter last night, so I should be fine." Zhang Wei nodded, then added, "Actually, it's not certain that anyone will consult me. It feels a bit strange to have a bar-based lawyer."

But it turns out.

Zhang Wei guessed wrong.

Young people like things that are fancy, especially free consultations.

Not long after Zhang Weigang sat down at the entrance, a customer who had seen the poster at the door came in and asked, "Can I get free legal advice if I buy alcohol in the store?"

"That's right, is there anything I can help you with?" Miss Lin, who found it amusing and volunteered to temporarily act as a waitress, stepped forward to ask.

The male customer nodded, "Then I need information!"

Gu Yifan gave Zhang Wei, who hadn't even warmed his seat yet, a look, "See? I told you so, didn't I?"

Zhang Wei said awkwardly, "This should be a special case, right?" (End of Chapter)
