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

Seeing his nephew suffering so much.

Youyou saw it all and kept it in mind, so she naturally started to take action.

She vowed to help Ziqiao find his love again.

The next morning.

When Youyou got up, she found that Ziqiao, who was sleeping on the sofa, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Meijia appeared in the apartment and was packing her luggage in the room.

This time she was really packing her bags. All the items she had left in the apartment for the past six months were now being packed into a bunch of cardboard boxes.

"Meijia, what are you doing right now?" Youyou's heart tightened. It seemed that Ziqiao and Meijia had a very heated argument last night.

Mika looked up. "I've already agreed to go to Singapore with Aped for his art exhibition. I don't know when I'll be back, so I'm not planning to renew my lease."

As she spoke, Mika busied herself tidying up the things in her hands, saying with her head down, "I'll put these things with my mother."

Hearing this, Youyou became a little anxious. "No, Meijia, it's not easy for me to come back. I want to spend a few more days with you and talk to you more."

Meijia straightened up and smiled slightly, "Of course you can, but it won't take up too much time for me to pack these things. My visa hasn't been processed yet."

Seeing this, Youyou subtly pulled Meijia aside and said, "Let's wait until your visa is approved before we get ready. Where shall we go shopping today?"

"Still shopping?" Mika blinked her bright eyes and said.

"If you don't want to go shopping, why don't you come with me to the film set?" Youyou said after thinking for a moment. The first five episodes of her drama "Reversal Hero" had already been filmed, and the director was speeding up the editing. After the editing was completed, it would be broadcast directly on Shanghai TV, and then the next episodes would be determined after checking the ratings.

Youyou hasn't had much to do these past few days, but the film crew is still on set, shooting some scenes of the male lead before he meets Youyou's character.

When Meijia heard that she could visit the film set, she was immediately tempted. "I've always wanted to be an actress, but after a few auditions, I couldn't understand any of the jargon they used, and I also tend to get infatuated with guys."

Meijia was a little embarrassed and pointed with her finger, "That's why they won't let me go."

"Then let's go visit the film set!" Youyou made the final decision.

We arrived at the film set.

"Wow, it looks completely different from what I see on TV!" Mika wandered around like a curious child.

Youyou smiled and explained, "Most film studios are like this. The scenes you saw, Meijia, were mostly created through post-production editing and special effects."

"I see." Mika nodded thoughtfully.

Soon, Youyou and Meijia each found the director carrying a large bag of water and snacks that Youyou had bought at the supermarket, such as beef jerky.

The director was somewhat surprised to see Youyou.

After Youyou finished explaining that she had come to visit the set and had specially bought some water and snacks to share with everyone, he praised Youyou with a smile for being thoughtful, saying that it was no wonder the crew liked her.

Mika stood to the side, looking at the female director with great envy.

After the director assigned a few staff members, they went with Youyou to distribute the snacks and other items they had brought.

Meijia asked curiously, "Why did you bring so much stuff when you came to visit the set?"

"Of course it's about interpersonal relationships. Sometimes, you can't afford to offend any of the behind-the-scenes staff on set, even if they seem insignificant. For example, you have to buy gifts to thank the cameraman, lighting technician, and makeup artist."

Youyou started out as an extra and knows all the ins and outs. To avoid trouble, she has to keep a smile on her face, offer cigarettes or red envelopes, and ask for your understanding.

"But I see those big stars, they're all so arrogant." Meijia was still a little puzzled. Youyou is now the leading lady, why does she still need to do these things?

Youyou smiled and said, "Of course, it's all by chance and luck that I was able to become the female lead. If I can't seize this opportunity to turn my life around, then my future will be very bleak."

Meijia nodded. "Youyou, you've worked so hard."

“It’s alright, Meijia, you’re the same.” Youyou took the opportunity to speak, “Everyone has a time when they are young and impetuous, but as time goes by, they have to accept reality and gradually mature.”

"Hmph, I don't think Ziqiao will ever mature." Meijia pouted, not caring that Youyou was Ziqiao's aunt, and started to complain.

“I think so too, Ziqiao, he’s been spoiled rotten,” Youyou agreed with a smile.

"I heard you two had a fight last night?" Youyou asked, biting her lip.

“That’s right, how did that bastard Lu Ziqiao tell you? My business with him won’t interfere with our friendship, don’t worry.” Meijia said with a smile, but her words also had a hidden meaning: if Youyou wanted to bring it up, then let it go.

Youyou pulled Meijia to take a walk in a corner.

"That's what I was thinking too. By the way, Mika, what's your relationship with that Aped? How far have things progressed?"

Seeing that Youyou didn't mention Ziqiao much, Meijia felt relieved and said with a slight blush, "We're just friends now."

"Are you really just friends?" Youyou asked with a grin.

“Of course!” Mika nodded. “I’ve already told Aped that I’m not interested in dating anytime soon. And speaking of me, how are things going between you and Guan Gu, Youyou?”

Youyou blinked. "Me and Guan Gu? Of course we're friends too."

Mika grinned mischievously, "Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Youyou did not deny it, "Guan Gu and I do get along quite well."

"Yes, Guan Gu is a good man, much better than Zi Qiao. Sometimes I really envy you, Sister Youyou."

"Meijia, did you have feelings for Guangu before?" Youyou asked, seizing the opportunity.

"This..." Meijia hesitated, worried that telling the truth would upset Youyou.

"Oh, it's okay, go ahead and tell me," Youyou urged generously.

"Well, but don't get me wrong, Youyou. I liked Guan Gu purely because he's a good person, and that was a long time ago. I don't have any feelings for Guan Gu now!" Meijia nodded, then shook her head, emphasizing.

"What's so great about Guan Gu? I don't see anything wrong with him." Youyou's eyes darted around, and she started digging a hole for Meijia.

"Wow, Guan Gu isn't good enough! He's tall and handsome, a romantic cartoonist, and very polite." Mei Jia's eyes widened. "Don't be so ridiculous!"

“But Guan Gu also has some terrible aspects,” Youyou said innocently.

"For example?" Mika asked, her eyes wide.

“For example, being prone to overthinking!” Youyou immediately said.

Meijia was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "Indeed, Guan Gu is a bit stubborn."

"And he's a violent maniac!" Youyou said nonchalantly.

"A violent maniac?" Mika was puzzled.

"Think about it, Guan Gu likes to wander around with his knife all the time, and even says he's going to commit seppuku. Isn't he a violent maniac? I always find it terrifying when I see him."

Hearing what Youyou said, Meijia touched her smooth chin. "It does seem to be true." "But even so, Guangu is much better than Ziqiao. Ziqiao has a lot of flaws too," Meijia said.

"He's a braggart and petty! In short, I can't even list all of Zi Qiao's flaws!"

Youyou smiled as she watched Meijia criticize Ziqiao. In truth, Meijia had unintentionally revealed her special feelings for Ziqiao.

"So if someone combined all their flaws, tsk, that would be terrifying."

"How could that be?" Meijia waved her hand dismissively. "Who has the flaws of both Ziqiao and Guangu?"

But as she spoke, Mika's expression suddenly froze, and she slowly looked at Youyou, who hadn't spoken.

"You mean Aped?"

Yoyo: They finally took the bait!

"I didn't say that, but to be honest, when I first met Aped, I was completely shocked, you know? He looks so much like Ziqiao and Guan Gu!"

Upon hearing this, Mika nodded hesitantly, "But I've never found any flaws in Aped."

Youyou shook her head, patted Meijia on the shoulder, and said in a tone of someone who had been there, "You've only known Aped for a short time. Guan Gu was also very shy at first."

Meijia immediately became worried, "That seems to be true."

"Don't worry, what if Aped doesn't have these flaws?" Youyou said insincerely.

“Well, I actually thought Aped was similar to Ziqiao and Guan Gu before, but later I felt that he is Aped, combining all the advantages of Guan Gu and Ziqiao!” Meijia temporarily suppressed her worries and said, and now she no longer hid it.

Youyou nodded. "Alright, let's go watch the filming."

Meijia stood up excitedly, but then heard Youyou say, "However, I think you should be more careful, Meijia. After all, if Aiped has all these problems, he won't be a perfect lover, but a mental patient!"

the other side.

Gu Yifan searched everywhere for Ziqiao, but couldn't find him.

Finally, we discovered that this guy had actually gone to the balcony next door, where he was lying in a deck chair, sunbathing.

"Ziqiao? What are you doing here?"

"Where else could I be?" Zi Qiao said lazily, showing no sign that he had been in pain the night before.

“Meijia has already started packing her bags. She’s taking everything with her and moving away! And you still have time to sunbathe here?” Gu Yifan rolled his eyes and pulled Ziqiao, “Get up quickly.”

Upon hearing the news that Meijia was moving out, Ziqiao looked slightly dejected, but still managed to break free from Gu Yifan's grasp.

“I’ve tried, but Mika simply won’t forgive me. Now that things have come to this, I’ve come to terms with it. Let it be.”

After Ziqiao finished speaking, he closed his eyes. "Alright, leave me alone for a while."

Gu Yifan shook his head. "Are you sure you really have no regrets?"

"What can you do if you have regrets?" Ziqiao shook his head, looking determined to be a coward.

Gu Yifan nodded, feigning retreat to advance, "Alright then, now Teacher Zeng and I are going to check out that Aped art exhibition. It seems that Aped is indeed better than you; no wonder he's a man who also possesses Guan Gu's strengths!"

"and many more!"

Ziqiao was displeased upon hearing this, "What do you mean, Yifan? That guy is clearly just like my backup plan."

"Is he really just a backup option? But he's already a well-known cartoonist, his works have won international awards, and he holds exhibitions in various countries. Can you hold an exhibition in Shanghai?"

Gu Yifan's dismissive words directly stung Ziqiao's pride. How could a man not have pride?

"Bullshit! I don't accept that!"

"Oh, so you don't even have the courage to confront Aped head-on. Hiding here just proves that you're inferior to Aped. Maybe you're Aped's backup plan."

Ziqiao's eyes reddened. "Yifan, we're brothers, how come you're not on my side?"

Gu Yifan shrugged. "Since you've already given up, I guess I'll just have to accept Aped. Teacher Zeng and I are going to start with Aped and find a way to keep him in Shanghai. That way, Meijia might be able to stay."

"No way!" Upon hearing this, Ziqiao's mind conjured up the image of Aped entering the apartment and gradually replacing him. He shuddered and immediately jumped up from the recliner.

"Fine, I'll go! It's not that I'm afraid of that apple."

"very good."

Gu Yifan nodded, and that was how Ziqiao took the first step towards success.

Youyou had already informed Gu Yifan before carrying out the plan that morning.

It was also Gu Yifan who guided Youyou, making Meijia suspect that Apide had the same flaws as Ziqiao and Guangu combined.

Of course, the fact is also true.

Wait for Ziqiao to regroup and make a comeback.

When Guan Gu heard that Gu Yifan and Teacher Zeng were going to the comic convention, he immediately said that he wanted to join them too!
Gu Yifan welcomed everyone, and the group headed straight for the place where Aped was holding his art exhibition.

"Guan Gu, let's get this straight first. This time we're going to have Zi Qiao challenge that Aped. You need to be clear about your stance then!"

When Gu Yifan drove the three of them there, he reminded Guan Gu on the way.

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxian said, "But what are we going to make Ziqiao compete with Apide for?"

"Well," Ziqiao pondered as he thought about his own strengths.

Guan Gu suddenly said, "But I think Zi Qiao is no match for Aped."

"Hey, Guangu, what did you say!" Ziqiao glared and raised his voice.

“Ziqiao, haven’t you noticed? Aped is taller than you! Just based on this one thing, you’ve already lost the right to challenge him,” Guan Gu said slowly.

Ziqiao's expression froze. "Nonsense, what if that guy Aped is wearing height-increasing insoles?"

"Tch, what height-increasing insoles? Can they really add at least ten centimeters?" Guan Gu said dismissively. "Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to just go and challenge Aped like this?"

“Wait, Guangu, explain yourself clearly. How could it be ten centimeters? It’s only a few centimeters at most.” Ziqiao argued with Guangu.

Soon, Ziqiao came up with a way to achieve his own mental victory: he wanted to prove that Aped had not surpassed him in height.

Zeng Xiaoxian didn't understand. Was this considered a challenge against Aped?
But Ziqiao and Guangu were very serious.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan found the props he had prepared beforehand. "Wait, if we go in like this and Aped finds us, he'll definitely think we, as Meijia's friends, are targeting her. Let's change our clothes first!" (End of this chapter)
