Urban world, the magic city.

Lin Yao sat on the bus traveling from Pudong Airport to the southern suburbs, his beige shirt sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his clean-lined wrists.

He leaned slightly against the car window, his gaze sweeping casually over the rapidly receding street scene outside.

Upon returning from the Star Palace, Lin Yao could clearly sense that the power flowing within his body had become increasingly condensed.

There is a surging force that is slowly evolving into stars, enough to easily shake mountains and tear space apart.

But for Lin Yao, this was really nothing to worry about.

He never had any ambition to conquer the world.

Compared to possessing the power of the world and having countless beautiful wives and concubines, Lin Yao in the urban world would rather just lie down and relax.

He is one of the many "lying flat and salty" faction members, and one of the best among them.

His expertise in this area is second only to Lin Yao, who was unaware that he was in 06 and that the capital city was a magical mobile phone world.

Of course, an ordinary urban world was hardly enough to stir any emotion in Lin Yao's heart. It wasn't as exciting as other worlds, so he might as well just relax and relax.

Or, if you have enough strength, you could fly directly into space to search for unknown cosmic civilizations, which would be even more exciting.

However, the current level of technology in the urban world is roughly equivalent to the early 2000s in his previous life, so Lin Yao also likes to browse online forums when he has nothing to do.

Then, I saw a rental ad on Tieba for a place called Love Apartment in Shanghai.

"iPartment?"

When Lin Yao saw those four familiar words, memories flooded back to him instantly.

This name is so familiar.

It's the beautiful memories of my past life before I transmigrated, my true childhood sweetheart.

Before I traveled through time, I had fantasized that my life after graduation might be like this.

However, after experiencing the harsh realities of university life, which resembles a microcosm of society, Lin Yao gave up on such fantasies.

Lin Yao had already traveled through time before entering society.

He originally thought that the urban world he lived in was just an ordinary modern dimension, but he never expected that it would be mixed with Love Apartment.

I didn't even notice for so long.

I'm such a lazy bum!

Shaking his head, Lin Yao, intrigued, quickly packed his things and traveled from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

The bus swayed along the suburban highway, the air conditioning in the cabin was not too strong, but just right.

Because at that moment, there were only Lin Yao and a young man behind him in the car.

Because the young man behind him was somewhat familiar, and the scene had a strangely subtle feeling, Lin Yao closed his eyes to rest.

While seemingly taking a short rest, his mental energy had already spread out like a tide, observing the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, his mental energy caught sight of a slightly flustered figure.

It was a girl in a white dress, standing on tiptoe under the bus stop not far away, anxiously looking around.

The girl's long hair was slightly disheveled by the wind, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead. She kept glancing back at what was behind her, looking hurried.

Not far behind the girl, several burly men in black suits and sunglasses were walking quickly towards her.

"Could this really be a familiar scene?"

Lin Yao's mental energy paused slightly, and he once again, disbelievingly, scanned his back using his senses.

Sitting behind him was a young man who looked somewhat dull.

He was wearing a plaid shirt, black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, and clutching a backpack tightly in his arms.

He exuded a youthful naiveté, as if he had just graduated from school.

Seeing this, Lin Yao compared the details one by one and found that sometimes it really is such a coincidence.

The young man behind them, and the girl at the bus stop, were likely acquaintances.

Just as he was pondering this, the girl on the other side of the platform clearly saw the bus parked in front of the station, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Without thinking twice, she lifted her skirt, slipped on her white canvas shoes, and rushed into the carriage like a gust of wind.

As soon as the girl got into the car, she keenly sensed that the bodyguards behind her were about to catch up, and her heart started beating even faster.

She glanced around the carriage in a flustered manner, her gaze pausing slightly when it landed on Lin Yao.

I just feel that Lin Yao exudes a reassuring aura these days.

It was a refined and noble air that was completely different from any of her peers, like a gentle breeze that made people want to get closer.

Almost subconsciously, drawn by this approachable charm, the girl turned and quickly walked towards Lin Yao.

She gently bit her lower lip, walked to Lin Yao's side, and carefully squatted down, hiding behind the chair.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of fair hands clasped together in front of her chest, the girl tilted her head back, revealing a small face no bigger than a palm, her eyes full of pleading.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, casting a soft glow on her face, highlighting her innocent charm with a touch of endearing naiveté.

So cute that you can't bear to refuse.

Lin Yao looked down at her, a knowing smile flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly without saying a word, tacitly approving of her hiding.

Seeing this familiar scene, even if Lin Yao were slow to recognize, he could immediately tell who the girl in front of him was.

Lin Wanyu, one of the female protagonists of "iPartment" and the daughter of Lin's International Bank.

The rich young lady who, in order to avoid a blind date arranged by her family with an UAE oil tycoon, didn't hesitate to flee back to China overnight from abroad.

Lin Yao tapped his knee lightly with his fingertips.

So it seems that the urban world I live in is not a simple modern dimension, but a world that incorporates the plot of Love Apartment.

I just wonder if, besides Love Apartment, elements from other worlds have been incorporated?

As Lin Yao was thinking, a series of orderly footsteps came from the carriage door.

Those bodyguards, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, also got into the car.

As soon as they boarded the train, their eyes scanned every corner of the carriage.

The lead bodyguard frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping around the car before finally settling on Lin Yao and Lu Zhanbo behind him.

Besides the driver, there were only the two of them left in the carriage.

The bodyguards' gazes lingered on Lu Zhanbo for a moment before quickly shifting away.

Lu Zhanbo's blank expression, clearly indicating he was engrossed in his studies, didn't seem like someone who could hide his true self.

But when their gaze fell on Lin Yao, they couldn't help but pause.

The young man before me was only in his early twenties, with a handsome and refined appearance, and a calm and composed demeanor between his brows.

He simply sat there quietly, exuding an air of refined elegance that commanded respect and made him someone not to be underestimated.

The bodyguards are all elites carefully selected by the Lin Group, and each of them has a sharp eye.

They simply couldn't understand why such a seemingly privileged young man would condescend to ride on such a crowded and stuffy suburban bus.

But even though they couldn't understand it, they dared not easily offend such a person.

Having spent years navigating the circles of the wealthy, they knew all too well that the more unassuming a young nobleman appeared, the more unfathomable his power often was.

If you disturb someone due to momentary recklessness, losing your job is a minor matter; if you offend someone you shouldn't, you might not even know how you died.

It's really not worth taking such a big risk just to avoid a rich girl going on a blind date.

The lead bodyguard's eyes darted around.

I clearly saw Miss Lin run into this car, how could she suddenly disappear? Could she be hiding under the seat?

He glanced instinctively under the seat but saw nothing.

The seats in the carriage are all single seats, and the space is so small that there is no room for a grown person to hide.

The only thing that can block the view now is the seats where Lin Yao and Lu Zhanbo are sitting.

However... they were somewhat familiar with Miss Lin Wanyu's personality.

Although she is playful and carefree, she is also a girl who cares about her image. How could she do something like crouching down next to a stranger to hide?

The bodyguards looked at each other, momentarily hesitant, standing at the carriage door, caught in a dilemma.

Their dawdling, their refusal to buy tickets, and their silence thoroughly infuriated the bus driver in the front row.

The driver was a burly middle-aged man wearing large sunglasses, his tanned face full of impatience.

He glanced at the group of bodyguards in black in the rearview mirror, then slammed his hand on the steering wheel and yelled at the top of his lungs:

"Are you here to take the bus or what? If you're here to take the bus, hurry up and put in your coins or swipe your card. If you're not here, get off now."

Don't delay my work. After I finish this trip, I need to rest. Don't waste my rest time.

Hearing the driver's reprimand, the bodyguards in black showed a hint of embarrassment, but dared not say anything more.

They were in the wrong after all, and they couldn't very well argue with a bus driver in public.

The lead bodyguard glanced intently in Lin Yao's direction, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Miss Lin had just returned from abroad when she encountered this extraordinary young man as soon as she got off the bus.

Is this just a coincidence, or is someone deliberately orchestrating this behind the scenes?

I still need to go back and report this matter to Chairman Lin before making a decision.

Those of them who are subordinates are just trying to make a living; it's not worth risking their lives for something like this.

Thinking this, the leading bodyguard waved his hand, turned around, and got out of the car with his men.

Watching the bodyguards in black slink away, the bus driver finally let out a satisfied "humph," snorting a complaint through his nose:

"Tch, dressed up like a proper person, yet dawdling even when taking the bus, trying to act like some kind of Men in Black from The Matrix, pshaw."

The driver's complaints weren't loud, but they were just loud enough for everyone in the carriage to hear clearly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao's smile deepened.

Lin Wanyu, who was hiding behind the seat, only breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard the car door close, and her tense shoulders instantly slumped.

She cautiously peeked out to make sure the bodyguards were really gone before she dared to slowly sit up from behind her seat.

She straightened her slightly disheveled skirt, turned around, and gave Lin Yao a radiant smile. Her voice was sweet and soft, filled with deep gratitude.

"Thank you so much, you really went to my trouble just now."

"You're welcome, Miss Lin."

Lin Yao looked at her, his tone calm and gentle.

"what?"

Upon hearing those three words, Lin Wanyu's eyes widened instantly, her smile froze, and she stood there dumbfounded.

A moment later, Lin Wanyu pointed to her nose, looking incredulous.

"How...how did you know my surname is Lin?"

Lin Wanyu's reaction was so adorable that Lin Yao couldn't help but chuckle.

The girl in front of him had a slightly flushed face and her beautiful eyes were wide open; she was completely taken aback for a moment.

In fact, Lin Wanyu was more surprised than she was by her own outward appearance.

How could this peer who seemed so agreeable at first glance know her surname? She had never met him before.

Could it be... could it be Dad's arrangement?

The moment this thought popped into her head, Lin Wanyu's heart skipped a beat, and then started pounding nonstop.

She instinctively took a small step back.

A hint of panic flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yao, and she seemed unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.

An urge to turn around and run away immediately surged into my heart.

Seeing her so nervous, Lin Yao knew exactly what she was thinking.

He waved his hand and explained with a smile:

"It's a secret. But don't worry, I wasn't arranged by your father. Your father... can't arrange me."

He paused slightly, extended his hand, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes:

"By the way, my surname is also Lin. Hello, my name is Lin Yao."

"Your surname is also Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up, and the panic on her face subsided considerably, replaced by pure surprise.

She looked at Lin Yao's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gently took it.

Lin Wanyu's fingertips were slightly cool, with a delicate touch.

"Hello, my name is Lin Wanyu."

After giving her name, Lin Wanyu's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Lu Zhanbo behind Lin Yao.

Lu Zhanbo was looking down, his fingers nervously gripping the strap of his backpack, looking completely at a loss.

Lin Wanyu blinked, recalling how they had shared a car earlier, and couldn't help but ask:

"Um... what's your name?"

In her view, it was a wonderful coincidence to meet under such circumstances.

She has always loved adventure and enjoyed new and interesting things, and at this moment she felt that this encounter might be a destiny arrangement.

When Lu Zhanbo was suddenly asked the question, he looked up abruptly, his glasses almost slipping off.

He hurriedly adjusted his glasses, his cheeks slightly flushed, his eyes darting around, and he stammered as he introduced himself:

"I...I am Lu Zhanbo."

"Lu Zhanbo?"

Lin Wanyu read the name aloud and nodded with a smile.

"Hello, Lu Zhanbo."

……

And so, the three of them officially became acquainted.

The bus continued its leisurely journey forward, and the atmosphere inside gradually became more lively.

Lin Wanyu did most of the talking, while Lin Yao sat quietly to the side, listening attentively with a gentle smile on his lips.

He would occasionally chime in with a word or two, guiding the conversation just right and making the atmosphere even more harmonious.

Lu Zhanbo, sitting in the back row, kept his head down the whole time, but his ears were perked up, listening carefully to the conversation between the two.

He watched Lin Yao and Lin Wanyu sitting together, chatting happily. Sunlight streamed through the car window, falling on the two of them and creating a remarkably harmonious scene.

For some reason, a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.

The two of them looked like a perfect couple, while I felt like an unwanted third wheel.

The moment the thought popped into his head, Lu Zhanbo was startled by his own words.

He quickly shook his head vigorously.

No, no, they just met, how could they be a couple? It must be my imagination, it must be.

Could it be that I just came back from abroad and haven't adjusted to the time difference yet, which is why my mind is so confused?

Lu Zhanbo frowned, sinking into deep self-doubt.

Time passed quietly in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and soon the bus arrived at its final stop.

Lin Yao and Lin Wanyu got out of the car first, and Lu Zhanbo quickly followed with his backpack.

Standing in front of the unfamiliar platform, Lu Zhanbo looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, a blank expression on his face.

He originally planned to come to Shanghai to find his sister, Hu Yifei, but he ended up in this desolate place because he got on the wrong bus.

Now, let alone finding his sister, he can't even say exactly where he is.

Seeing his anxious and helpless appearance, Lin Yao shook his head helplessly.

He took out his phone, skillfully dialed the police, explained the situation simply and clearly, and asked the police to come and pick him up.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao comforted him:

"Don't worry, the police will be here soon."

Lu Zhanbo nodded gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, Lin Yao. You've gone to so much trouble."

While waiting for the police, Lin Wanyu felt a little bored.

She looked around curiously, her gaze suddenly drawn to a cluster of wildflowers blooming brightly by the roadside.

Her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Yao's arm, saying excitedly:

"Lin Yao, look! Those flowers are so pretty! Shall we pick a few?"

Her tone carried a hint of coquetry, and her eyes sparkled, making it impossible to refuse.

Lin Yao looked at the arm she was holding, feeling the slightly cool touch, and smiled helplessly: "Okay."

So, Lin Wanyu grabbed Lin Yao's hand and skipped and hopped to the bushes by the roadside.

I crouched down and carefully picked wildflowers, occasionally picking one up and bringing it to my nose to smell it.

Then she held the wildflower up to Lin Yao and asked, "Isn't it pretty? Doesn't it smell nice?"

Lin Yao, standing to the side, naturally followed her lead and said, "It looks good and smells good too."

At the same time, seeing her carefree appearance, the smile in his eyes became even gentler.

After a while, the two returned carrying a large bouquet of wildflowers.

Lu Zhanbo remained standing in the same spot, patiently waiting.

Lin Wanyu looked at the wildflowers in her hand, then at the unfamiliar surroundings, a look of bewilderment on her face:

"Oh dear, I feel like... I don't know where to go."

She rushed back from abroad without planning her route in advance, and now she is penniless and has nowhere to stay.

Lin Yao smiled faintly upon hearing this:

"It's okay, I don't mind. I'm just here to stroll around Shanghai anyway. I might as well just wander around with you."

After all, he came to Shanghai specifically because of the name "iPartment".

Now that I've just arrived here, I've already met Lin Wanyu, just in time for the beginning of the story. This development couldn't be more perfect.

Lu Zhanbo looked at the two of them, opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Just then, the sound of a "putt-putt-putt" engine came from afar.

Lin Wanyu curiously raised her head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A farm tractor was slowly driving towards them, its cargo bed loaded with fresh vegetables.

Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up when she saw the tractor.

She grew up abroad and had seen all kinds of luxury cars and sports cars, but she had never seen such agricultural machinery before and mistook it for a go-kart.

She excitedly grabbed Lin Yao's arm, pointed at the tractor, and said with great enthusiasm:

"Wow! Look! Go-karts! Shall we go ride them?"

Lin Yao looked at the dilapidated tractor, then at Lin Wanyu's expectant face, his lips twitched, and finally he nodded:

"it is good."

Lu Zhanbo stood aside, watching the two of them excited, and hesitated for a moment.

He was thinking that he still had to wait here for the police to come and pick him up to go find his sister.

Moreover, seeing Lin Yao and Lin Wanyu chatting so amiably, he couldn't join in the conversation.

Rather than being a third wheel, I'd rather stay here and wait for the police.

So he waved to the two of them and said:

"Brother Yao, Wanyu, I won't go. I'll just wait for the police here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu felt a pang of regret, seeing her friends about to part ways so soon.

But he didn't insist on anything, and Lin Yao, who made him feel very close, was still by his side, so he nodded immediately.

"Okay, we'll be going now. Bye-bye, see you next time if you have the chance."

After saying that, she grabbed Lin Yao and ran quickly toward the tractor.

The two stopped the tractor, and Lin Wanyu excitedly waved to the man in the driver's seat:

"Uncle, we want to ride go-karts."

The tractor driver was taken aback by her shout of "go-kart!" before he realized what she meant and pointed to the truck bed with a smile.

"Little girls, this isn't a go-kart, it's a tractor. If you want to ride, get on."

Lin Wanyu, however, did not take it to heart and still enthusiastically pulled Lin Yao to climb onto the car seat.

Sitting in the bumpy car seat, Lin Wanyu was still incredibly excited.

As she watched the scenery rushing past on the roadside, she couldn't help but shout at the man:

"Uncle, do you know where Love Apartment is?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Love Apartment? I've never heard of this place. There are only a few villages and factories in the southern suburbs, not many apartment buildings."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but feel disappointed. She pouted and stopped talking.

Just then, the tractor suddenly made a "click-clack" sound.

Immediately afterwards, the engine stopped abruptly, the car jerked to a halt, and came to a stop on the side of the road.

The middle-aged man quickly jumped out of the driver's seat, inspected the vehicle, and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh, this old car, it's stalled again."

Lin Yao and Lin Wanyu also got out of the car and stood by the roadside, watching the uncle frantically repairing the tractor.

Just then, a piercing engine roar came from afar.

A black BMW sped toward them at an astonishing speed, completely ignoring the speed limit signs on the side of the road.

At this speed, it won't be long before it crashes into the tractor parked on the side of the road.

At this moment, the tractor driver and Lin Wanyu were focused on how to repair the car, specifically the BMW that Lin Yao had noticed.

Unexpectedly, the plot has changed slightly.

Lin Yao thought this way, but his heart was not stirred at all; it was just a minor issue.

He immediately raised his right hand, and an invisible stellar power surged from his body, quietly condensing into a huge, transparent energy arm.

This energy arm emitted a faint glow, like sunlight, blending seamlessly into the sunlight without any abruptness.

Yet it contained a devastating power. It silently reached forward and precisely gripped the BMW.

The next second, the BMW, which had been speeding along, suddenly stopped, its tires screeching against the ground and emitting puffs of blue smoke.

It was abruptly stopped on the spot.

The immense inertia caused the airbags inside the car to deploy instantly.

The drunk driver didn't even have time to react before the airbag hit him hard in the face, knocking him unconscious in the driver's seat.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that no one had time to react.

Standing by the roadside, Lin Wanyu didn't even see what was happening.

She only heard some sounds, and when she turned her head, she saw the BMW speeding towards her and then stopping just as quickly.

Seeing this incredibly skillful move, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but clap her hands, exclaiming in amazement:

"Wow. This driver is amazing! His braking skills are incredible!"

At the same time, his gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Yao.

She had just noticed Lin Yao retracting his outstretched hand, but she didn't take it to heart, assuming he was just subconsciously trying to move his hands and feet.

only……

The way he reached out his hand and the timing of the car stopping were so perfectly synchronized.

Just then, a series of urgent police sirens came from afar.

A police car sped up and stopped on the side of the road.

The car door opened, and a smart and capable policewoman stepped out.

She was Mo Lan, who had come to pick up Lu Zhanbo after receiving Lin Yao's emergency call.

As soon as Moran got out of the car, she saw the BMW parked on the side of the road and the driver who had fainted in the driver's seat. Her brows furrowed instantly.

He quickly stepped forward, inspected the vehicle, and soon determined that the driver was drunk driving and speeding.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhanbo was also picked up by a police car.

Perhaps it was because Moran's skills were too wild.

As soon as the car stopped, Lu Zhanbo couldn't help but gag out the window from the passenger seat, his face turning deathly pale.

After dealing with the drunk driver, Mo Lan walked over, looked at Lin Yao and Lin Wanyu standing by the roadside, and said with a smile:

"Hello, this is Officer Moran. You were the ones who called the police just now, right?"

Now that things are settled here, where are you headed? I can give you a ride.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up. She was about to speak when she realized that she had no idea where she was going.

Seeing this, Lin Yao said, "We want to go to Love Apartment, do you know the way?"

Moran paused for a moment, then shook her head:

"Love Apartment? Never heard of that place. But we'll take you to the city center; most rental apartments are there."

"Okay, okay."

Lin Wanyu immediately agreed excitedly, while looking at Lin Yao.

"Ah Yao, what do you think?"

"I'll stand and watch."

"Hey, you're always acting like this. Do you want to come with me to find Love Apartment?"

"Alright, alright, I don't care. I'll listen to you. You can make the decision."

Lin Yao nodded, indicating that he would do as she said.

"Okay, let's go then."

Hearing Lin Yao's answer, Lin Wanyu's smile became even brighter.

For her, it was wonderful to have someone who made her feel close by on her adventure.

So the two of them got into the back seat of the police car.

As the police car slowly drove away, Lin Yao looked at Lin Wanyu beside him, who was excitedly and curiously looking around the car, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

From the first meeting with Wanyu on the bus from Pudong Airport, to Wanyu picking flowers by the roadside, and then getting on the go-kart that Wanyu called a tractor.

Now, he's even gotten into the police car of female officer Moran, a character who appeared in the sitcom "iPartment." How interesting...
