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

Chapter 102 The First Meeting Between Zhuge Dali and Gu Yifan

"What nonsense are you talking about? Haven't I been taking care of you all along?"

Gu Yifan muttered to himself.

Lin Wanyu, however, felt no shame, but rather pride.

As if she had unloaded some burden, she easily lifted the covers and climbed out of bed.

"I'll go change my clothes now, and remember to go to the flower shop later." Lin Wanyu still remembered that Gu Yifan wanted to give her flowers.

"Oh." Gu Yifan nodded.

Just before Lin Wanyu walked out the door, Gu Yifan remembered the unfinished words Lin Wanyu had said when he went to get water.

Gu Yifan called out to Lin Wanyu.

"By the way, what did you mean by us being fake?"

Lin Wanyu paused, turned her head with an innocent look on her pretty face, "What do you mean 'we'? Gu Yifan, you must have misheard me."

"."

Seeing Gu Yifan's disbelieving expression, Lin Wanyu smiled slyly and tilted her head, "I'm not telling you, figure it out yourself~"

After saying that, he pushed open the door and left.

Gu Yifan was left alone to sit back on the bed.

[Your feelings are clear to Fairy Lin, and she has also shown her feelings to you. You are mutually attracted, and Lin Wanyu's favorability increases by 3.]

[Lin Wanyu's current favorability rating: 78]

[Upon reaching level 80, the character enters a locked state. It will unlock after completing Fairy Lin's quest.]

What were his intentions? Did he say anything?

In the living room.

Lin Wanyu walked out of Gu Yifan's room, closed the door, took a deep breath, and muttered to herself.

"As expected. That guy was a liar. He clearly smelled nice, but he lied and said he didn't."

Although Lin Wanyu was scolding Gu Yifan, the happiness on her face was genuine.

Lin Wanyu thought of the words she hadn't finished saying earlier.

"Gu Yifan, let's make this a real-life charade."

She read it aloud silently in her heart.

Although she didn't say it aloud, Lin Wanyu felt that she had gotten the answer she wanted.

Gu Yifan said that he didn't want to end their relationship so hastily.

That being the case.

Let's make the fake one real, that way we'll never be exposed!
Lin Wanyu was in an exceptionally good mood today.

The rest of the day.

Gu Yifan first accompanied Lin Wanyu to buy her favorite flowers, and then helped her organize the various valuable items in her luggage.

Three bags, six necklaces, two pairs of bracelets, four rings, eleven pairs of earrings, two women's watches, two small handbags, and quite a few other miscellaneous items.

Gu Yifan couldn't help but complain, "Anyone who didn't know better would think Lin Wanyu was a wholesaler selling jewelry."

But Lin Wanyu said that these were just the tip of the iceberg in her walk-in closet.

In fact, Lin Wanyu had considered what she would do if she ran out of money after escaping. Her two watches and bracelet were prepared for this purpose.

Gu Yifan was stunned when he found out the brand's price.

I won't go into details, but the combined price of these two watches alone could buy this entire building.

However, Lin Wanyu pursed her lips after seeing the price and said that the price tag was fake, and that the two watches her father bought for her did not cost that much.

Of course, more than half of them are also included.

"Anyway, I don't really like these two watches. They're too flashy and don't match my style. They look vulgar. I might as well sell them."

That's what Lin Wanyu said.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and said no, it couldn't be sold.

"Why can't we sell them?" Lin Wanyu was immediately displeased. "Isn't it said that watches are also a form of hard currency?"

That's right, watches are indeed easy to collect, and pawnshops and similar establishments are happy to accept them.

But watches worth tens of thousands of yuan are hard currency, while Lin Wanyu's two seven-figure watches are different.

When I sold this thing, I never thought I would sell it again!

In the end, Lin Wanyu, feeling wronged, chose to sell both bags.

Selling all the stock would probably allow Lin Wanyu to live comfortably in Shanghai for a year, provided she doesn't buy luxury goods.

Gu Yifan helped Lin Wanyu list the bag on an auction website with the title: "Beautiful Girl's Handbag".

Lin Wanyu couldn't understand why Gu Yifan would choose such a title; it was so embarrassing to read.

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes. Of course, it was easier for him to find a name, and it wouldn't be easy to sell a name like that.

Some people will probably just skip this after seeing the title.

night.

Gu Yifan declined Lin Wanyu's invitation to go watch the excitement together.

He plans to go to the hospital to see Cyndi.

I wonder how well that caregiver, Aunt Yao, took care of Xinling. You can't judge a person by just one side of the story.

If one is not careful or attentive, one needs to observe more.

Lin Wanyu wanted to go along, but Meijia pulled her away halfway.

"You two shouldn't be together all the time. Giving each other some space will help strengthen your relationship."

Although Chen Meijia covered up Lu Ziqiao's lie, she was not the kind of person to suffer a loss.

Meijia extorted a bunch of benefits from Ziqiao, including tonight's party, which would be paid for by Young Master Lü!
If Wanyu doesn't go, wouldn't that be a bargain for Lü Ziqiao, saving him a lot of money?

Lin Wanyu had no choice but to agree. She didn't think distance made the heart grow fonder; on the contrary, she felt a little missed Gu Yifan when he wasn't around.

Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

I've been wanting some peace and quiet all day because Miss Lin keeps chattering in my ear.

Moreover, he planned to go to the hospital to experiment with the Lu Family Spring and Autumn Secret Technique, to see how the dual cultivation method worked and whether it could awaken Xinling.

If Lin Wanyu sees this, it will probably be hard to explain.

After saying goodbye to everyone and promising to keep his phone working again after being teased by Teacher Zeng, Gu Yifan left the apartment.

I bought a serving of takoyaki (octopus balls) with octopus on it from the food street, and then crossed the overpass to the other side to take the subway.

I'll definitely be able to finish eating before I get on the subway.

The streets are brightly lit at night, and the flow of people and vehicles makes it lively, so one doesn't feel lonely.

Gu Yifan noticed it unintentionally as he walked across the overpass.

In the middle of the overpass, a little girl stood holding onto the railing, looking down quietly at the traffic below.

The Japanese princess cut hairstyle makes the little girl's profile stunning; she looks like the quiet and gentle type.

The evening breeze ruffled the little girl's silky black hair.

Her eyes were fixed on the ground below, her face expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Gu Yifan couldn't help but slow down.

That's right, he
Bah! Who said lust is the root of all evil? Stand up and take your beating!

Gu Yifan was worried that the little girl would jump.

Because she didn't seem to have any family members with her, and her gaze was too calm.

She was unusually calm for a child her age.

Although Gu Yifan usually prefers to avoid trouble, he can't ignore a child who might be contemplating suicide.
Gu Yifan stopped in his tracks.

He glanced down at his uneaten takoyaki, thought for a moment, and walked over to the little girl.

Zhuge Dali was a little tired from walking.

Although her school is quite close to that apartment on the map, with a straight-line distance of no more than 1.5 kilometers, that's the straight-line distance.

After walking through the crowds, she was a little tired and hungry, so she decided to rest before heading to apartment 3601 in Love Apartment to return the phone to the man named Gu Yifan. She also wanted to observe him while she was at it.

Is he even suitable to be his father?
Just as Zhuge Dali was watching the passing traffic, clearing her mind, and feeling that she had almost recovered her strength to continue,

"Ok?"

Zhuge Dali noticed a tall figure had somehow walked up to within a meter of her.

This distance is dangerous!
Zhuge Dali quickly made a judgment with her little brain.

There were so many empty spaces on the bridge, yet the other person stopped quite close to her; it certainly wasn't just for sightseeing.

Just as Zhuge Dali was about to retreat and leave quickly.

A delicious aroma of takoyaki wafted from the man.

Zhuge Dali sniffed, paused, and looked up slightly.

What a handsome young man!

Zhuge Dali's pupils dilated slightly for a moment, because she had never seen a man more handsome and pleasing to the eye than the boy in front of her.

The outfit is clean and neat, and the hair is a bit long and needs a trim, but it doesn't make the person look sloppy.

Without bangs, a beautiful profile with an indescribable charm appeared before Zhuge Dali.

Even children know what is beautiful and ugly.

Moreover, Zhuge Dali is a girl who is naturally more mature than her peers.

Seemingly sensing Zhuge Dali's gaze, the young man also turned his head to look at the side, revealing a pair of deep, black gem-like eyes to Zhuge Dali, naturally without any malice.

This face...it's impossible to be wary of it.

Zhuge Dali was only momentarily stunned before regaining her senses. Her vigilance lessened slightly, at least the other person wasn't that kind of greasy middle-aged man.

Unexpectedly, the young man only glanced at her before turning his head back to look at the traffic below.

At the same time, he picked up a skewer of takoyaki from the cardboard box and ate it. The golden-brown takoyaki was topped with a layer of seaweed flakes and sauce, making it look especially tempting.

They popped the pills into their mouths one by one, their cheeks bulging.

At the same time, I am a wanderer who roams the world.

Zhuge Dali suddenly found this older brother quite interesting.

My initial thought of leaving has turned into a decision to stay and observe the other person.

So a strange scene appeared.

In the center of the pedestrian overpass, two figures, one tall and one short, stood about a meter apart, both leaning against the handrail.

One looked down at the traffic below, while the other naturally looked up at him; neither of them spoke.

Passersby, seeing the unexpectedly harmonious couple, assumed they were siblings or father and daughter, finding the scene rather heartwarming.

It wasn't until Gu Yifan ate two Chibi Maruko-chans and savored the delicious burst of octopus pieces that he realized the little girl beside him was still standing there, staring at him intently.

Kids these days really have no sense of self-protection whatsoever.

Gu Yifan sighed.

It seems the plan to save takoyaki has failed.

He hesitated for a moment, then handed over the box containing a string of takoyaki.

"Eat?"

Zhuge Dali waited for a long time and found that the boy was just spacing out.

The aroma of takoyaki was irresistible, and her stomach growled even hungrier, so she decided not to wait any longer.

She has limited time.

If she comes home too late, the nanny will get anxious and tell her mother. Her mother will worry about her and ask why she came home so late.

Zhuge Dali didn't really want to lie to her mother.

so.
Just as Zhuge Dali was about to end her observation and leave the railing.

"Eat?"

A pleasant and magnetic male voice entered Zhuge Dali's ears.

"Huh?" Zhuge Dali was stunned for a moment, and saw the boy handing her a box of takoyaki at an angle.

"No need, thank you, brother." Although Zhuge Dali liked this older brother quite a bit, she still politely declined.

Her mother wouldn't let her eat anything given to her by strangers.

But then
"Goo~"

Zhuge Dali's face gradually turned crimson.

"You're welcome," Gu Yifan said again.

This time, seeing the older brother's handsome face, Zhuge Dali didn't refuse. She reached out her little hand and took the box that was handed to her, saying, "Thank you, big brother."

Gu Yifan felt a little relieved.

Since they are willing to eat, they should be able to resist the temptation of delicious food and stop having suicidal thoughts.

"Go home quickly after you finish eating. Whatever makes you unhappy, it will pass."

After saying that, Gu Yifan prepared to leave.

Zhuge Dali's gaze was fixed on the takoyaki, which looked both beautiful and delicious, in the cardboard box, which was a mix of dark green and golden yellow. Just as she was hesitating whether to eat it, she was taken aback by what she heard.

"Eh?"

Watching the older brother turn around and continue walking forward.

Zhuge Dali immediately understood something.

Could it be that the older brother stayed to watch over her because he was afraid she might want to commit suicide?
For a moment, Zhuge Dali found it amusing, but she also felt even more fond of this handsome older brother.

"Big brother."

Gu Yifan paused, turned around to look at the quiet little girl who had caught up with him, and asked with her big, blinking eyes.

"Excuse me, big brother, do you know how to get to Love Apartment?"

"Love Apartment?"

Zhuge Dasheng's law firm.

She finished her early shift again today. As she walked out of the building, she looked at the darkening sky and lazily stretched.

Although he is the owner of a law firm, most of his clients come because of Zhuge Liang's reputation, so he naturally feels a lot of pressure.

There's a saying that the boss is the company's biggest salesperson.

Therefore, Zhuge Dasheng has many cases on her hands and can't rest whenever she wants. However, in the case she is currently handling, the other party voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit, which gave her some free time.

Looking up at the brightly lit building, outsiders envy the white-collar workers inside for their superior jobs, but who knows the exhaustion they experience from working overtime until 11 or 12 o'clock or even into the early morning?

"Dali would be happy if he knew that his mother got off work so early today."

Thinking of his daughter, Zhuge Dasheng's mature and charming face softened with tenderness.

As a strong woman, she also gave all her tenderness to her children.

"Send a message to the nanny. Dali should be home by now. Ask her to ask Dali if she wants anything to eat."

Zhuge Dasheng thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message as he walked towards the parking lot.

In front of a snack shop on the commercial street.

"for you."

Gu Yifan handed the coconut juice in his hand to the girl who was quietly waiting by the bench under the shade of the tree.

"Thank you, brother." Zhuge Dali hesitated for a moment, then, seeing that Gu Yifan still had a cup of coconut juice in his hand, she politely thanked him and took the coconut juice with both hands.

"You're welcome." Gu Yifan shook his head. "I should be thanking you for coming all this way to return my phone."

"Hmm, I didn't expect that the big brother I was looking for was you."

Zhuge Dali took a sip of the sweet coconut juice and said softly.

She never imagined that the handsome older brother she met by chance would be the very 'Gu Yifan' she was looking for.

Perhaps it was fate.

Gu Yifan himself never expected that the mature little girl he met by chance would actually be the future genius girl Zhuge Dali.
