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

At night, at the bar downstairs.

Gu Yifan told Ms. Hu and the others, who were returning home from get off work, about what had happened that day, including the discovery of the lookalike that Meijia had.

Hu Yifei snorted coldly after hearing this, her tone dissatisfied: "That Ziqiao guy, he found a replacement after Meijia left?"

Gu Yifan shrugged. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who thought that Ziqiao was nice to that girl, largely because she resembled Meijia.

Lin Wanyu had a different opinion, "It's not really a stand-in, this girl does sound quite pitiful."

“Wanyu, you’re wrong about that,” Hu Yifei said, even more indignantly. “How many times has Ziqiao treated us to meals? How many times has he gone out with us? But he’s quick to pay for that girl!”

“That’s true.” Miss Qin came up with two glasses of orange juice. “Didn’t Ziqiao always have girls pay for him?”

"Besides, among Ziqiao's ex-girlfriends, there might not be many who are worse off than this girl, but there are definitely some who are similar. Why don't I see him being so kind-hearted and taking responsibility for each of them?"

Hu Yifei's rebuttal made Lin Wanyu slightly unhappy.

"Perhaps Ziqiao has reformed."

Yifei laughed out loud, tilting her head back, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Rather than believing that Lu Ziqiao can turn over a new leaf, I'd rather believe that Zeng Xiaoxian can climb trees!"

Just then, Zeng Xiaoxian came up to the second floor and heard the complaints. His face darkened: "Hey! You guys are discussing Ziqiao, don't hurt innocent people!"

"Teacher Zeng, you've come at the perfect time. Please describe Qiao's appearance to everyone," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Zeng Xiaoxian sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa and said cheerfully, "I think Ziqiao is really in love. He's even peeling fruit for that girl."

“See!” Lin Wanyu said immediately.

"Tch, I think Ziqiao is just transferring his debt to Meijia onto that girl!"

Hu Yifei remained stubborn and opinionated.

The two argued endlessly about whether Ziqiao should make amends for his past mistakes or reform himself.

"Gu Yifan, you speak!"

Unable to win the argument with Ms. Hu, Lin Wanyu started looking for reinforcements, turning to Gu Yifan and saying.

"Me?" Gu Yifan originally didn't want to get involved in their argument.

Anyway, it doesn't really make much sense.

Unfortunately, that's just how Ms. Hu is; once she gets worked up, she has to argue until one of them wins.

"That's right, Gu Yifan, tell me, who do you think is right, me or Wanyu!"

Seeing this, Gu Yifan said quietly, "I'm not interested in Ziqiao's matter, so can I refrain from commenting?"

"Of course not!"

The two women spoke at the same time.

Qin Yumo watched the spectacle silently from the sidelines, her eyes filled with amusement as she observed how Gu Yifan planned to deal with the two.

Gu Yifan, of course, couldn't afford to offend either side, so seeing the situation, he could only helplessly say, "I think both possibilities exist."

"Hey!" Lin Wanyu was angry. She was Gu Yifan's soon-to-be fiancée, his future wife, and now he wasn't on her side?
Ms. Hu narrowed her eyes and said, "I advise you to think carefully before you speak!"

“That’s really what I think,” Gu Yifan said, spreading his hands. “Let me finish.”

"There must be a reason why Ziqiao is nice to this girl, because she looks a lot like Meijia."

"Hmph, how about it, Wanyu~" Seeing that Gu Yifan had affirmed her first, Ms. Hu immediately put on a smug look and showed off to Lin Wanyu.

Miss Lin pouted, staring at Gu Yifan with slight dissatisfaction.

"but!"

Gu Yifan's story also took a turn shortly afterward.

Seeing this, Miss Lin's expression softened, and she looked at Gu Yifan expectantly.

"However, I think Ziqiao's attitude has indeed been quite good recently. Besides, he never intended to have much interaction with that girl; he just treated it as a dream."

Gu Yifan explained that although the girl resembled Meijia, she was not Meijia after all. Gu Yifan felt that Meijia's position in Ziqiao's heart was unmatched.

Hearing this, Lin Wanyu immediately said, "That's right, that's right. Yifei, don't always think it's like 'the familiar swallows have returned.' Meijia has just gone on a trip. It's not like she's not coming back. Ziqiao is definitely still thinking about Meijia."

"."

Ms. Hu's initial smugness vanished, and she crossed her arms, glaring at Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan felt a little helpless. He knew that this would be the final result, and it was impossible to offend neither side.

"So, one reason why Ziqiao was willing to take care of that girl is because he felt compassion for her, seeing how serious her condition was."

Gu Yifan finished speaking in one breath and concluded, "So there's absolutely no need for you to argue about this."

"Not at all!"

"I think you're just too afraid to answer directly!"

As expected, neither Wanyu nor Yifei was satisfied with Gu Yifan's answer.

Seeing this, Miss Qin decisively stepped forward to help.

"Alright, I agree with Yifan's opinion. I also think both possibilities exist, so now it's two to one, one to one, and we're in the lead!"

Let's leave this matter here.

With Miss Qin stepping forward to share the burden, Lin Wanyu and Ms. Hu were both speechless.

"Yu Mo, are you still my good sister? You're actually helping Gu Yifan smooth things over."

Ms. Hu pursed her lips.

“I said, let’s just wait for Ziqiao to come and ask him.” Teacher Zeng, who had been quietly observing and not saying anything to avoid getting involved, mustered up her courage to speak up when she saw that Ms. Hu did not fly into a rage.

“That’s right!” Lin Wanyu’s eyes lit up. “I can go ask Ziqiao.”

After hearing this, Ms. Hu quickly replied, "No, we should both ask together!"

"But even if we ask Ziqiao, will he admit that he was only willing to help treat the girl because she's a carbon copy of Meijia?" Gu Yifan felt that Ziqiao probably wouldn't admit it.

Unfortunately, both Lin Wanyu and Ms. Hu had made up their minds: "Shut up!"

Gu Yifan: "."

Apartment, suite 3602.

Ms. Hu and Lin Wanyu rushed in first, followed by Ms. Qin and Gu Yifan, who had come back to see what was going on. Teacher Zeng went to work at the radio station.

"Ziqiao, Ziqiao, are you there?!"

Ms. Hu shouted as soon as she entered the door.

"what?"

Ziqiao was indeed back. He looked like he had just taken a shower, and he came out of the bathroom wearing a tank top and shorts, drying his hair with a towel.

Hu Yifei and Wan Yu's intense gazes immediately focused on Zi Qiao.

Ziqiao was a little confused and had a dangerous feeling that he was being watched by something, so he quickly said, "Hey, I didn't borrow any money from you!"

“It’s not about the money, Ziqiao. We all know about your recent heroic deeds. You’ve finally reformed, that’s great!” Lin Wanyu spoke first. “…”

Upon hearing that it was about that girl, Ziqiao's expression became slightly unnatural. He walked over to the sofa and plopped down, saying, "What do you mean by turning over a new leaf? I was always a righteous person!"

"Yifan, did you tell them?"

"Mm." Gu Yifan nodded.

Seeing this, Ziqiao rolled his eyes. "You rascal, you don't even know how to keep my secret."

"You didn't say I had to keep it a secret," Gu Yifan said with a shrug.

"Alright, feel free to ask whatever you want, but let me make it clear first, they need to rest and recuperate, so if they want to go to the hospital, forget it."

What Ziqiao said was half true and half false.

Actually, he was worried that Teacher Zeng and Guan Gu had already let it slip in the afternoon, and if Wan Yu and Yi Fei went there, they might reveal even more information, which is why he said that.

"Okay, okay," Lin Wanyu replied dismissively, then sat down and stared at Ziqiao, saying, "I have a question for you."

"Ok?"

"You helped that girl because you felt sorry for her and were planning to take responsibility and be a man, or was it just because she looks like Meijia?" Miss Lin's question carried a hint of cunning.

"Wait!" Ms. Hu immediately understood. "Ziqiao, you have to tell the truth, or I'll make you regret it!"

"..." Ziqiao didn't expect the two of them to ask such a sharp question right away.

He draped a towel around his neck and said, "Who said I was going to answer your questions? Aren't you two being ridiculous?"

Gu Yifan exchanged a glance with Miss Qin. See? What did he say? Ziqiao might not even answer. So, Lin Wanyu and Ms. Hu were just wasting their time.

"Wait, Ziqiao, don't you want to wash away the negative impression you have in everyone's eyes?" Lin Wanyu saw that Ziqiao was about to stand up and leave after he finished speaking, so she quickly grabbed Ziqiao's arm.

Ms. Hu, standing nearby, also blocked Ziqiao's escape route, saying, "Ziqiao, if you really feel sorry for Meijia, if you're still a man, just admit it openly."

"."

Seeing that he was surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, Ziqiao could only frown and say, "I haven't even thought about this question. If Yifan can help save people, why can't I? You two, don't think nonsense, okay!"

"Speak," Ziqiao said, and then took the opportunity to escape.

"Hey, Ziqiao!"

"and many more!"

Seeing that Ziqiao had fled directly into their room, Ms. Hu and Lin Wanyu had no choice but to give up, unwilling to accept the situation.

Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up, and she said smugly to Ms. Hu, "Feifei, look, Ziqiao said it himself, it wasn't because that girl looks like Meijia, so I won this time!"

Ms. Hu had no rebuttal and could only leave angrily.

"Just wait, I will definitely find evidence to prove that Ziqiao actually likes Meijia!"

Gu Yifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wanyu and Yifei didn't make him make such a difficult choice again.

As for which one Ziqiao ultimately chooses, Gu Yifan doesn't care at all.
Two more days passed in a flash.

As always, Ziqiao left early and returned late, but this time, Gu Yifan knew that Ziqiao was going to the hospital to take care of her every day.

It seems that Ziqiao is really interested in that girl this time.

Youyou also returned from Hong Kong. At noon, Guangu borrowed Gu Yifan's car and drove to pick Youyou up.

"These are little gifts I brought back from Hong Kong for everyone, please don't mind them~"

3601, Youyou is happily distributing the souvenirs she brought back from Hong Kong.

Gu Yifan stepped forward and asked for one of his own. When he opened it, he found it was an exquisite tie clip.

"This must be expensive," Gu Yifan said, somewhat surprised, as he looked at Youyou and asked.

This tie clip is also inlaid with some small diamonds.

"It's a bit more expensive than others," Youyou said to Gu Yifan in a very low voice. "Yifan, keep your voice down, don't let others hear you."

"After all, I was able to become the female lead in this heroine's comeback story because of you, Yifan, so please accept this gift."

After all, it was Youyou's kind gesture, so Gu Yifan did not refuse.

Seeing this, Ms. Hu chuckled and teased Youyou, "Youyou, you gave Yifan a gift, what about Guangu?"

Guan Gu grinned foolishly, and when Yi Fei mentioned him, he quickly said, "Youyou already gave me the gift on the way."

"What kind of gift is it?" Teacher Zeng asked curiously, joining in the fun.

It is a fine fountain pen with considerable value!

Guan Gu explained that he recently wanted to practice calligraphy, so he had to thank Youyou for buying him the pen.

Lin Wanyu said with a grin, "Guan Gu, did you start learning calligraphy before Youyou gave you the fountain pen, or after Youyou gave you the gift?"

Guan Gu blushed and remained silent.

With a maternal smile on her face, Youyou was already well aware that everyone was trying to match her up with Guangu. Or rather, the two of them already had a good relationship, and they were just one opportunity away from breaking through.

"By the way, where's my nephew?" Youyou asked disappointedly, hands on her hips, when she realized that Ziqiao wasn't waiting for her at the apartment.

Well, they've grown wings and now they don't even welcome their aunt anymore.

“Ziqiao.” Ms. Hu immediately recalled her discussion with Wanyu, which had not yet been resolved (she had not won, so she would continue to believe that there was no winner).

He excitedly told Youyou the whole story.

"Youyou, go ask Ziqiao. You're his aunt, he should tell you the truth!"

Youyou was also shocked by what happened to Ziqiao.

"He actually spent all his savings!"

Youyou felt a little sorry for him. "No, I have to ask Ziqiao what happened. He shouldn't have been deceived, right?"

Gu Yifan looked at Ms. Hu and found it somewhat amusing. Ms. Hu still hadn't given up? But let her be.

Youyou took out her phone and called Ziqiao with a serious expression.

Such a big matter, Ziqiao made a decision without even consulting his aunt. Does he not respect his aunt at all?

But after several attempts, the line was always busy, and I was told to try again later.

Youyou angrily put down her phone. "Ziqiao isn't answering his phone. Who is he talking to?"

At that moment, the door to Gu Yifan's room opened.
It was Xiao Shiwan who opened it, and it was buzzing with Gu Yifan's phone in its mouth.

"Huh? Who called me?"

Gu Yifan patted Xiao Shiwan's head, grabbed a tissue, wiped his phone, and then saw it.
"Is that Ziqiao?"

Gu Yifan was slightly taken aback. Why was Ziqiao calling him, and why did she call him several times in one go?

Just then, his phone vibrated again.
It's still Ziqiao.

Gu Yifan quickly answered the phone, "Ziqiao?"

As soon as Ziqiao's name was uttered, Gu Yifan heard Ziqiao's anxious voice on the other end of the phone.
"What? Something's happened. That girl has run away from the hospital again?!" (End of Chapter)
