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

Chapter 80 Your brother, raised by a concubine

Inside suite 3601.

I could faintly hear voices coming from outside the door.

Lin Wanyu's heart was pounding wildly, like a race car accelerating and almost going off the track.

The room was very dimly lit.

A brightly colored tablecloth was laid on the dining table, and two candlesticks were placed next to it, with red candles emitting a faint fragrance.

An opened bottle of red wine was poured into a decanter, the deep red wine gleaming under the light.

Lin Wanyu changed into a white halter-neck dress with a cinched waist, revealing a pair of fair and smooth arms. A small leather belt cinched her slender waist.

Her loose hair draped over her delicate shoulders, making her small face appear even smaller than the palm of a hand.

Her face was flushed, as if she had drunk too much, whether from the candlelight or something else.

These were all prepared by Meijia for her.

In fact, Lin Wanyu couldn't quite describe her feelings either.

She just felt that things were moving a little too fast, and she wasn't ready yet.

But under Meijia's whispered instigation, the innocent Wanyu was bewitched by the little devil Meijia.

Unable to refuse her enthusiasm, he had no choice but to passively accept Meijia's arrangement and be dressed up beautifully to sit here.

The wait became unbearably agonizing, and Lin Wanyu even felt a renewed urge to run away.

This wasn't quite what she had imagined.

Before Lin Wanyu could come to a conclusion...

"Crack!"

The door to the suite was pushed open.

Lin Wanyu subconsciously turned her head to look, her heart leaping into her throat.

My heart was pounding wildly.
Who is it?

Unexpectedly, the next second...

An oversized, adorable strawberry bear wrapped in a plastic bag came into view.

Lin Wanyu's eyes widened instantly, and her cherry-like mouth opened slightly.

ε(*ω)з——('')
So cute!
Doorway.

The imagined scene of a bucket of water being splashed on you, or a huge cake being smashed in your face, did not occur.

The house was very quiet.

Gu Yifan, holding the strawberry bear, hesitated as he walked into the living room, peeking out from behind the bear.

Upon discovering that the living room lights were all off, Gu Yifan turned around.

Only then did I notice the tiny Lin Wanyu sitting at the table. She was wearing a white dress and staring blankly at me. The candlelight dimly illuminated her fair face, giving it a charming, slightly flushed red.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Yifan slowly typed out a question mark.

What the hell is going on here?

His gaze fell on the candlelight and the red wine. Was this the surprise?
To be honest, it was a pleasant surprise.

The most captivating feature was the touch of rouge on the face of the beautiful young girl.

But this speed is a bit too fast.

Neither of them moved.

The next second, Lin Wanyu suddenly stood up from the chair, lifted her skirt with both hands, and ran towards Gu Yifan like a little princess.

To be precise, it ran towards the strawberry bear.

Lin Wanyu: No girl can resist Strawberry Bear, no one!
"what!!!"

Lin Wanyu pounced on the strawberry bear.

The impact caused Gu Yifan to stumble, and the Strawberry Bear was sandwiched between Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu, like a sandwich filling.

"Is this for me?"

Lin Wanyu replaced Gu Yifan, hugging the strawberry bear tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise as she stared at Gu Yifan.

All her previous ulterior motives vanished at that moment.

"Yeah, I passed by a toy store and thought it looked pretty good, so I..."

Before Gu Yifan could finish speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Lin Wanyu hugged him with one arm, her pretty face tilted up as she stared straight at him.

"Thank you!"

By the time Gu Yifan reacted, Lin Wanyu had already taken a step back and gone to the sofa to remove the plastic bag from the outside.

It seems it was just a momentary impulse.

[Terrifying! In ancient times, a powerful being could kill three immortals with a single peach. Now, you've won the hearts of two beauties with just a teddy bear. Fairy Lin's favorability +3]

Gu Yifan: Hehe!

Just as Gu Yifan was about to ask Lin Wanyu what was going on,

"Bam—"

A slight noise came from the direction of the balcony. Gu Yifan turned his head and saw that the curtains in apartment 3602 were still swaying.

Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow; he seemed to have guessed the truth.

This matter is most likely related to Hu Yifei, and Chen Meijia is also very suspicious!

Suite 3602.

"They've hugged! They've hugged!"

Chen Meijia clenched her fists excitedly and screamed in a low voice, as if it was she, not Lin Wanyu, who was hugging Gu Yifan.

There's no way around it, Chen Meijia just loves to join in the fun, and she also likes to watch those saccharine romance dramas, and coincidentally, these two things have come together now.

As a result, he accidentally bumped his head on the balcony door frame.

"Oh!"

Hu Yifei, who was stuffing an egg pancake in her mouth, noticed Gu Yifan's actions and quickly pulled the curtains closed.

"Watch out, Mika, we're about to be discovered!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," Mika said, rubbing her forehead in pain, embarrassed.

Hu Yifei put her hands on her hips and said disdainfully, "It was just a hug. The night before last, Wanyu slept in Gu Yifan's room."

"Nothing happened then," Chen Meijia said with a grin. She had heard about this from Wan Yu and knew that nothing had happened between the two of them.

Therefore, Lin Wanyu still doubted whether her charm was too low, or whether Gu Yifan was really a blockhead.

"Shall we continue watching?" Chen Meijia couldn't wait to draw back the curtains.

Hu Yifei patted Chen Meijia's hand, "Wait a minute."

"Oh"

Although the two only met once in the afternoon when Yifei came back from get off work, it did not prevent their relationship from progressing rapidly.

Boys have four ironclad friendships, and the friendships between girls are also quite strange. Do they share some gossip?
Lin Wanyu also noticed the commotion on the balcony.

Moreover, she knew that Mika was watching from the next room.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyu's shyness, which she had just let go of, resurfaced, and her face turned bright red.

I'm a little lost.

She reached out and hugged the strawberry bear, not daring to look at Gu Yifan.

"Gu Yifan, have you eaten?"

Finally, the girl spoke softly.

A private restaurant on the banks of the Huangpu River.

From the second floor, you can see the Huangpu River flowing into the ocean.

Su Weiwei tilted her snow-white neck, gazing at the river. One hand rested on the railing, letting the breeze ruffle her waist-length hair. Her pretty face carried a hint of languor, exuding charm.

Across from her was Nuolan, wearing a sky-blue belted dress, looking down at the menu.

The halter top crossed her fair neck, and her hair was pulled up high. Compared to her usual simple and elegant outfits, this look made her appear both innocent and alluring.

Although Nuolan was looking at the menu, her mind wasn't on it. She saw her best friend gazing at the river without saying a word.

That despicable woman!
Nuolan deliberately slammed the menu shut, making a loud "smack" sound.

"Have you ordered?"

Su Weiwei then turned her face to look at Nuolan.

Seeing her best friend's angry look, she burst into laughter, as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming.

"Xiao Lanlan, your expression is so funny. If I took a picture of it and showed it to Xiao Fan, he would definitely be very surprised."

"Weiwei!" Nuolan said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright." Su Weiwei finally snapped out of her daze, placed her arms on the dining table, and said seriously, "Ask whatever you want."

Nuolan breathed a sigh of relief and said directly, "What did Xiaofan say? When is he coming home? If he wants to move out, he can rent a place in your apartment complex."

Nuolan was very worried about Gu Yifan; she feared he might do something foolish, especially since boys his age are prone to overthinking. Su Weiwei, however, didn't respond to this. Instead, she rested her chin on her slender hand, her eyes bright, and said...

"Speaking of which, your Xiao Fan is really something else. Boys change so much as they grow up, I'm even a little smitten with him."

As she spoke, Su Weiwei closed her eyes, as if she were truly reminiscing.

Nolan: "."

What do you mean by "read but not replied"?

But listening to her best friend's words, Nuolan was also a little curious, since she hadn't seen Gu Yifan for more than a year.

Boys develop quickly, changing every week. I wonder if there will be any changes.
Nuolan thought of the photo taken by Su Weiwei that she had already saved on her computer.

That face that made her heart race.

Although it's pretty much the same as I remember, he's definitely more handsome now.

As she pondered, Nuolan realized that she had been led astray by Su Weiwei, and quickly suppressed her thoughts, glaring angrily at her best friend.

"I'm angry when you do this!"

The threatening words, spoken in Nolan's pleasant voice, were soft and lacked any deterrent power.

"Eh."

Su Weiwei couldn't help but sigh, "You know what I mean."

He saw that Nuolan was stubbornly looking at him.

"Okay, I think Xiao Fan is doing pretty well. He's tall and handsome, and doesn't seem to be suffering." Su Weiwei finally became serious and said softly.

She had encountered some clients who were trapped in a certain situation or emotion, and their state was completely different from Gu Yifan's.

“I think he’s just grown up and wants some space of his own, which is not a bad thing,” Su Weiwei earnestly advised Nuolan.

"It's because you're always trying to control him that he doesn't want to go back."

Nuolan was displeased upon hearing this, and frowned, "I am his sister."

"Dry."

Su Weiwei answered without hesitation.

The two women stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

Finally, Su Weiwei was the first to look away. "You're just too controlling. When you were little, you liked to boss Xiao Fan around and make him follow you wherever you went."

"Now that he's an adult, he doesn't want to be your little shadow anymore. You feel empty and uncomfortable, right?"

Nuolan wanted to refute, but didn't know how.

Indeed, Su Weiwei is right.

Besides being proud and having a temper, Nuolan is also very possessive; no one is allowed to touch anything she marks.

The same goes for people.

Previously, Nuolan used to boss Gu Yifan around, but things gradually changed over time.

"If you want Xiaofan to go back, you have to change yourself first."

Finally, Su Weiwei gave a serious summary.

“That was all in the past. I can’t have him following me around every day now,” Nuolan muttered, her tone weakening.

Su Weiwei smiled as she looked at her aggrieved best friend and reached out to take Nuolan's hand.

"Okay, what can I do? I'm your best friend."

"I'll definitely help you."

"Really?" Nolan was pleasantly surprised.

"Hmm." Su Weiwei nodded her pretty face, her phoenix eyes smiling. "Poor me, I'm destined to be tired. Give me some time, I'll talk to Xiaofan more. As for you, you should change your mind. Xiaofan is no longer a child."

Nuolan blushed slightly and turned her face away. "I didn't say he was a child."

Su Weiwei smiled and gently patted Nuolan's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Xiao Fan for you during this time. I'm his sister too, aren't I?"

Nuolan failed to grasp Su Weiwei's deeper meaning.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, albeit reluctantly.

"OK then."

"But I need to know where he lives so I can go see him."

"That won't do." Su Weiwei withdrew her hand and decisively refused.

"Hey!" Nolan couldn't believe her best friend had rejected her; that was her brother!

"I promised Xiaofan I'd give him some time. If I give you the address, I'll be breaking my promise," Su Weiwei said confidently.

"Okay, I'll definitely persuade Xiaofan to meet you before school starts, alright?"

"Really?" Nuolan asked hesitantly, staring into Su Weiwei's fox-like eyes.

"With a top lawyer like me on the case, it's a piece of cake," Su Weiwei said confidently, raising her pretty face.

"Okay then." Nolan thought for a moment and agreed.

As he picked up the menu again, something occurred to him, and he looked up hesitantly.

"You wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards Xiao Fan, would you?"

Su Weiwei blinked her beautiful eyes, her expression innocent yet tinged with anger. "You doubt me? I would never like a little brother."

Nuolan agreed. Although Su Weiwei was not very reliable in front of her, she was very serious and dependable when it came to work.

"Sorry~" Nuolan smiled and apologized to her best friend.

"Hmph, that won't do. You don't trust me? You'll have to drink the penalty!" Su Weiwei said seizing the opportunity.

"No, no, I have a show to record tomorrow."

Nuolan quickly waved her hand. Her program's listenership was soaring, and she was doing more and more work at the radio station. To be honest, even if she were asked to take care of Gu Yifan during this period, she probably wouldn't have much time.

Su Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she said with a mischievous smile, "That's fine too, then come stay at my place tonight."

Nuolan blushed and looked at Su Weiwei, who was grinning mischievously. After so many years of friendship, she knew exactly what Su Weiwei was up to.

"impossible!"

If Nuolan didn't know that her best friend was perfectly orthodontic, she would have thought that Nuolan had ulterior motives.

"I'm not going, I'm not going!"

"Well, then you'll have to treat me to dinner tonight. That's the bottom line." Su Weiwei had anticipated this, so she pretended to be hesitant, but finally reluctantly agreed.

"make a deal!"

Nolan quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't notice that Su Weiwei's slightly pursed lips curled into a triumphant smile.

I'm sorry, Xiao Lanlan
Sit down in the restaurant.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward and somewhat ambiguous.

"So, Meijia helped you with all of this?"

Gu Yifan looked at the table of typical Hangzhou dishes, paired with Western-style candlelight and red wine, creating an incongruous candlelight dinner, and said somewhat speechlessly.

"uh-huh."

Lin Wanyu nodded.

She secretly distanced herself from the situation, only saying that Meijia was too enthusiastic and helped her arrange an intimate date with Gu Yifan.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't arrange this candlelight dinner. Blame it on Mika for being too enthusiastic; I couldn't refuse."

While offering a futile explanation, Lin Wanyu secretly observed Gu Yifan's expression.

In the dim light, there was a calm and handsome face.

He looks handsome at first glance, and he still looks handsome even after looking at him for a while.

Combined with the clothes that Shen Ling had chosen for him, Gu Yifan had a kind of ascetic style.

Lin Wanyu's heart began to race again.

"Oh, I didn't say anything." Gu Yifan nodded.

“So we…” Lin Wanyu said hesitantly.

"Let's eat, I haven't eaten yet." Gu Yifan had already reached for his chopsticks.

"It's just that the lighting is a bit dim."

Lin Wanyu: "."

She was so naive and foolish, thinking that Gu Yifan had finally come to his senses.

This big idiot!
"You don't want to eat?"

Gu Yifan had already started wolfing down his food.

"Of course I'll eat it!"

Lin Wanyu picked up her chopsticks in a huff, but she couldn't help it; Gu Yifan's meal looked too delicious.
