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

"Ziqiao? You're here!"

When Youyou saw her nephew finally appear, she breathed a sigh of relief. He had no idea how much effort her aunt had put into helping her keep Meijia.

Fortunately, Zi Qiao has changed. Now, with his melancholic image, even You You finds him refreshing.
"you"

At this moment, Meijia pointed at Ziqiao and spoke.
Just as everyone held their breath, eager to hear what Mika would have to say.

But then Mika burst out laughing, "What's that caterpillar on your lip? It looks so ugly now!"

"."

Seeing that Meijia was the first to laugh, everyone else looked at Ziqiao and felt that it was different from his usual image, so they all laughed too.

"Hey!" Lin Wanyu was a little annoyed that her carefully designed image hadn't impressed anyone, but Gu Yifan pulled her back.

"Look at the way Mika looks at me. She didn't seem to think that way just now."

Gu Yifan said in a low voice.

Wanyu subconsciously looked at Meijia and noticed that although Meijia was smiling, her eyes were actually glistening with tears.
Wan Yu felt as if she had discovered a new continent.

It turns out that Mika wasn't entirely unaffected.

"Lu Ziqiao, when did you start acting all mature? Weren't you always such a carefree and reckless guy before?" Meijia's loss of composure was only momentary.

She quickly composed herself and said with disdain, "Is it because young girls these days don't fall for your wild and unrestrained act anymore, so you've changed your appearance and come out to deceive people?"

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao rolled his eyes dramatically. "Chen Meijia, you can't say anything nice. I'm still in my prime!"

"And, in the prime of life?" Meijia retorted directly to Ziqiao, "Do you think those four words apply to you in any way?"

When the two started arguing, no one tried to stop them.

Because when Mika was still living in the apartment, the two of them would always argue and bicker every time they met.

It's like a unique way of meeting that belongs only to the two of them.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child" is a saying.

Only Aped didn't understand why Meijia and Ziqiao suddenly started arguing, so he quickly stood up and stopped Meijia.

"Meijia, Meijia, stop making a fuss, who is this?"

"Eh!"

Aped had been blocked by Meijia and hadn't seen Ziqiao's face clearly, but now that he could see it, he was stunned.

"You look just like me!"

"fart!"

It seems that Zi Qiao has returned and immediately retorted.

"You must be lucky enough to look somewhat like me."

"Tsk, but looking at you, my face is a complete waste on you."

As he spoke, Ziqiao looked Aiped up and down, who was a little caught off guard by his fast-paced speech, and shook his head.

"Damn, it's like looking in a really tasteless mirror!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hu Yifei nodded approvingly. That's exactly how it should be done. Shame this guy badly and make him walk away from your woman!

Aped sensed the hostility in Ziqiao's words and the displeasure in Ziqiao's eyes. He looked at Meijia innocently and said, "Meijia, your friend doesn't seem to like me very much."

"No, no, no." Seeing this, Meijia glared at Lu Ziqiao and explained, "It's just that his mouth is like it's been poisoned, it has nothing to do with you."

"Who said that? I just don't like the fact that someone has defiled my face!"

Ziqiao is being a bit too deliberate.

Gu Yifan wondered if this guy was deliberately trying to provoke Meijia.

As expected, Meijia, who had just softened her attitude towards Ziqiao, immediately narrowed her eyes upon hearing this and protected Ai Paide like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt water! You surnamed Lü, you haven't changed at all, still so narcissistic, still so arrogant!"

"In what way is Aped better than you!"

"Really? Just his unconventional look alone is enough to crush me, okay?" Zi Qiao said with a nonchalant shrug.

Seeing this, Aped quickly said, "Meijia, it's okay. I'm happy to meet your friends today, but I have some things to do. Meijia, you continue chatting with your friends."

With that, Aiped prepared to leave.

However, Mika was really angry this time, and she called out to Aped.

"Aiped, wait for me! I'll go with you!"

As she spoke, Mika went to get her bag from the sofa.

"Meijia, where are you going?" Yifei quickly stopped Meijia when she saw this.

"Ziqiao, why don't you apologize to Meijia right away?"

"That's right, Ziqiao, how could you make Meijia so angry?"

Everyone chimed in agreement.

Ziqiao nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Meijia. I acted a little impulsively."

Everyone admitted that they were indeed taking sides.

Nobody wanted to see Meijia go abroad; if she really left, who knew when they would see her again?

So everyone only stopped Mika, but completely ignored Aped.

"Oh dear, Sister Yifei!" Meijia couldn't resist Yifei's insistence and said angrily, biting her lip, "Ziqiao treated Aped so badly, I have to go and comfort Aped."

"Alright, Meijia, I don't think that Aped is very angry. Maybe he doesn't even understand what we're saying."

Zhang Wei was about to step in as a peacemaker, but a single look from Meijia made him take a step back in fright.

"Yifei, Aped respects everyone very much, so I hope everyone can respect him as much as they respect me!"

After Meijia finished speaking, Ms. Hu's expression froze, and she awkwardly let go of her hand.

"Aiped, wait!" After getting her bag back, Mika still left to chase after Aped.

When Meijia passed by Ziqiao, the way she looked at him was completely different from before, filled with disappointment and anger.

"Step aside!"

Ziqiao opened his mouth, but contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't speak. Instead, he silently stepped aside.

Meijia hurriedly went downstairs.

"If it's not Ziqiao, why aren't you saying anything?" Teacher Zeng said, somewhat speechless.

"We should have stopped Mika just now!"

"Alright everyone, I know you're all trying to help me, but I want to handle this myself," Ziqiao said calmly.

"Handle it yourself? How do you handle it?"

Ziqiao waved his hand, turned and left, saying, "I'll find a chance to talk to Meijia in person."

Seeing this, Gu Yifan could only sigh. There was nothing he could do; he had already guessed that things would develop this way.

Ziqiao's rudeness to Aped just now was not only because he genuinely disliked him, but also because it was mostly deliberate.

That's something they said on purpose.

Let's see how Aped reacts!
Of course, Gu Yifan also guessed that Ziqi did not expect Meijia to be so protective of Aped, and actually stood directly in front of Aped.

That's why Ziqiao was stunned, and then silently stepped aside to let Meijia leave.

The one who tied the knot must untie it; it remains to be seen what choice Zi Qiao will make.

"Yifei, give Ziqiao some room to do his own thing."

Gu Yifan comforted Yifei.

Late at night, Mika was drinking alone at a bar when a voice suddenly came from behind her. "Why are you here alone? Where's that guy? Isn't he with you?"

Mika shuddered and said without turning her head, "What, are you here to laugh at me? You're sorely mistaken! Aiped is just busy with his art exhibition tomorrow."

"Oh?" Lu Ziqiao stepped out of the shadows and walked to Meijia's side.

"Don't get so close to me! It's annoying, you know?" Mika rolled her eyes and said.

Ziqiao shrugged. "Sorry, I embarrassed your friend this morning."

Meijia was greatly surprised upon hearing this. "Oh, Young Master Lü actually apologizes? Or must I have misheard?"

"What's wrong with apologizing? A grown man should admit his mistakes," Ziqiao said, shrugging as he held a bottle of beer in his hand.

"Tch, then why don't you apologize to me!" Meijia said irritably, then turned away and ignored Ziqiao.

"I came here to apologize to you. I'm sorry, Meijia," Ziqiao said softly, gazing intently at Meijia's retreating figure.

"."

Mika's body trembled slightly.

"No need, I've already let it go."

"Perhaps," Ziqiao said bitterly, "but I never expected that I would only realize how many inhuman things I had done after you left."

Mika's eyes widened in disbelief once again as she turned her head and suspiciously patted Quantum Joe up and down.

"You have a terminal illness?"

Ziqiao: "???"

Mika said with certainty, "You look so haggard, do you really have a terminal illness? Could it be... cancer there?"

As she spoke, Mika turned her gaze downwards.

"Nonsense, I'm perfectly fine!" Ziqiao said irritably, crossing his legs to block Meijia's view.

"Hmph, someone like you can admit your mistakes? I don't believe it."

Meijia said, but then hesitated and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

“It wasn’t me,” Ziqiao shook his head.

"Not you? What do you mean?" Mika asked in surprise.

“I met a girl last month,” Ziqiao said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Meijia's hand, which had just relaxed, suddenly clenched again.

"Oh? Looks like you've ruined another girl's life."

“Her name is Meidi, and she has leukemia,” Ziqiao continued.

"..." Meijia narrowed her eyes and looked at Ziqiao.

"What do you mean?"

“I’ve been taking care of her all this time, and I’ve thought a lot about it. I’ve finally realized how many wrong things I’ve done before, to those I’ve hurt, and to you, Meijia,” Ziqiao continued.

Meijia's expression was somewhat indignant as she gritted her teeth and said, "So? I thought you had a change of heart, but it turns out you've fallen for another girl, which is why you're saying these things?"

Ziqiao was taken aback, looked up and saw Meijia's dangerous gaze, and quickly said, "It's not like that, Meijia, let me explain."

"Damn it! Do I need your fake apology to me?!"

Unfortunately, Meijia had already stood up, splashed the water in her cup directly onto Ziqiao's terrified face, and angrily turned to leave.

"Meijia, wait a minute, let me finish."

"No need! Let go of Lu Ziqiao!" Meijia struggled to break free from Ziqiao's outstretched hand, but failed, so she simply slapped Ziqiao across the face.
"Snapped!"

The sound was exceptionally crisp, even echoing in the quiet bar.
Meijia and Ziqiao were both stunned.

"Mika."

"Hmph." Mika bit her lip, forcing herself to harden her heart. "Let me tell you, I was blind before, and I don't need your apology!"

"From today onwards, please, Young Master Lü, stop bothering me. Especially your hypocritical act just now, it disgusted me, I'm fed up with it!"

After saying that, Meijia turned around and left.

Only Ziqiao remained standing silently in front of the bar, staring blankly at Meijia's retreating figure.

After running out of the bar, Meijia found a roadside to squat down and burst into tears.

She had genuinely believed that Ziqiao had repented. But it turned out that after she left, he found another girl and even made up some story about leukemia to deceive her!

Do you think she is a fool?

She didn't need Ziqiao to realize how badly she had done through other women and then come to her with a fake apology!
Just as Mika was hugging her arms, tears streaming down her face in a pitiful manner.

"Mika?"

Gu Yifan and Wan Yu had just finished eating and were walking back to the apartment.

Hearing crying, they came over to investigate.
"Yifan, Wanyu?"

Meijia looked up, hurriedly trying to wipe away her tears as she stood up.

"Meijia, who bullied you?" Wanyu quickly stepped forward to help Meijia up.

"Is it that apple?! I'm going to find it!"

Upon hearing this, Meijia quickly stopped Wanyu, "No, that's not it!"

Gu Yifan said, "It's Ziqiao, isn't it?"

Meijia was taken aback by his words, and said coldly, "Don't mention that guy. I have nothing to do with him anymore!"

"What did Ziqiao do to upset you again? Did you two have a fight?" Wanyu frowned. Ziqiao was really hopeless, even though she had been trying so hard to help him.

In the end, they still couldn't win Mika back!

After a moment of silence, Meijia asked, "Wanyu, Yifan, do you know that Ziqiao also knows a girl?"

"You mean Medi?" Wanyu asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Mika gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Looks like everyone knew all along. I was the only one kept in the dark."

"What an arrogant idiot I am!"

“Meijia,” Wanyu said worriedly.

Meijia wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and smiled, "It's okay, Wanyu. Anyway, I'm leaving soon, and these things have nothing to do with me anymore!"

"Before I leave, I never want to see that bastard Lu Ziqiao again!"

It was past 2 a.m.
Reeking of alcohol, Ziqiao staggered back to suite 3602.

Standing at the door of suite 3602, Ziqiao hesitated to open the door. For some reason, he turned around and walked towards suite 3603.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, but no one answered.

Ziqiao knocked on the door repeatedly until it was finally opened.
"Mika."

"Hey? Ziqiao, why are you drinking so much?" It wasn't Meijia who opened the door, but Youyou.

Seeing Ziqiao's drunken state, Youyou was greatly surprised.

"Auntie?"

Ziqiao barely recognized Youyou, and immediately looked disappointed. "Where's Meijia? I need to talk to her and get things sorted out."

“Meijia didn’t come back tonight.” Youyou quickly helped Ziqiao up.

Ziqiao's expression froze. "He hasn't come back."

"What exactly happened, Ziqiao?" Youyou asked worriedly as she helped Ziqiao to the sofa.

Ziqiao sat on the sofa, his expression blank.
"Auntie, I might really lose Mika." (End of Chapter)
