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

Chapter 105 The System, You Really Know How to Play (Please Read On)
We said goodbye to Zhuge and her daughter.

As Gu Yifan walked along the road, he began to review the series of prompts that the system had just sent him.

[Under the guise of escorting the princess back to her residence, you successfully met Lady Zhuge of the Marquis of Wu's mansion. It's a pity you didn't get to witness the mansion's magnificent grandeur.]

[Your act of kindness in escorting the princess back has successfully earned you the favor of Lady Wu. The mission is complete, and you can now continue to increase Lady Wu's favorability.]

Lady Zhuge's favorability +3

Current favorability rating: 33

Although I've unlocked the affection level, the system's prompts still seem ridiculous.

Gu Yifan grinned speechlessly.

He kept saying that he didn't care if the scene was right or not, as long as he could get the reward, he didn't care about the process and only cared about the result before continuing to watch.

You chatted with Lady Wu about the past and present at the Jade Pond in Jingshan Park, next to the Wuhou Mansion.

Lady Wu admires your outstanding talent and noble character, and wishes to hire you as the princess's tutor, to which you gladly accept.

[Title Obtained: Attendant Reader of the Marquis of Wu's Mansion]

[Upon entering the academy, your learning and comprehension speed will increase by 10%, and the academy teachers' favorability towards you will increase by 10].

During your conversation with Lady Wu, you overheard her lamenting the passing of youth and the fleeting nature of beauty. She lamented how she had single-handedly shouldered all the affairs of the Wu family over the years, with no one to confide in about her hardships.

Seeing that the lady was almost in tears when she spoke of her sorrow, you decided to visit her more often when you had time.

Gu Yifan: "."

Gu Yifan: System, what are you barking like a dog?
Are you sure this is the same thing?

He had only listened to Zhuge Dasheng chat about everyday things, but now Gu Yifan knew how terrifying rumors could be.

If something really happens, who knows how this damn system will describe the details?

Gu Yifan forced himself to continue reading.

Seeing that it was getting late, you prepared to set off to return home.

[During this time, Princess Wuhou quietly pulled you aside and presented you with a "purple-red exquisite purse"]

[This item is the princess's most cherished possession, worn since childhood and never removed. The princess possesses extraordinary constitution, and this item, nurtured by the princess's great fortune, has acquired considerable spiritual power. It can help you withstand a fatal attack!]

[Because you agreed to become the princess's tutor and playmate, the princess's favorability has increased by 4.]

[Lady Wu's favorability +4]

Current favorability rating: 37

[Your friendliness towards the princess is not because of her noble status, but because of your heartfelt pity. This was noticed by Lady Wu, and her favorability towards you increases by 2.]

Current favorability rating: 39

Will increasing Zhuge Dali's favorability increase Zhuge Dasheng's favorability?
You really know how to use the system.

But Gu Yifan did intend to improve the favorability of Zhuge and her daughter.

After all, they are two people with system identities. Xinling and Lin Wanyu alone have benefited him immensely, so it is necessary to cultivate good relationships with them.

"It's a pity there's no team-up prompt. Maybe the affinity level isn't high enough, or maybe there's still some task to complete."

As Gu Yifan walked, he thought to himself that he preferred to team up with Zhuge Dali.

Firstly, it makes coaxing children much easier, and the favorability increases faster, which can indirectly improve Zhuge Liang's favorability.

Secondly, it's for the rebate. Kids are usually greedy and like to eat snacks. Dali is also a well-behaved child who knows how to share.

At that time, you can earn rebates and obtain miraculous medicines at the same time. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

But that’s all for later.

Gu Yifan quickened his pace, preparing to visit Xinling first.

On the other side, Zhuge Dasheng was also walking home hand in hand with his daughter.

After hearing Gu Yifan's words, Zhuge Dasheng realized that his words had caused his daughter to misunderstand, so he stopped lecturing her and felt only heartache.

The daughter's maturity made the parents feel guilty.

Throughout the journey, Zhuge Dali seemed happier than usual.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile. Then, recalling the polite young man, a thought struck him, and he asked softly.

"Dali, do you like Brother Yifan very much?"

"Hmm?" Zhuge Dali turned to look at her mother and nodded without thinking. "Brother Yifan is very interesting and very patient."

"interesting?"

Zhuge Liang, the Great Sage, became curious.

When Zhuge Dali vividly recounted how she walked to the overpass, got tired, and rested by the railing, Gu Yifan thought she wanted to commit suicide, leading to a series of actions.

Zhuge Liang was also amused.

It seemed as if Gu Yifan could be seen holding out a box of takoyaki (octopus balls) and asking her, "Want some?"

But despite her smile, Zhuge Dasheng felt somewhat dejected. Compared to the vitality of young people, she had become a boring mother.

Then, considering the age difference of more than ten years between them, Zhuge Dasheng closed his eyes and silently told himself not to think about anything.

Gu Yifan is just a decent young man.

But just as the rational Zhuge Liang was trying to erase that inappropriate thought from his mind...

Zhuge Dali suddenly said, "If Brother Youfan were here, Mom wouldn't want to find another father, right?"

Zhuge Dasheng looked at his daughter with some surprise, "Dali, what are you saying?"

“I said, Mom seems to really like Yifan too,” Zhuge Dali said, tilting her head.

Zhuge Dasheng thought for a moment, "Mom's liking is appreciation; there aren't many young people like that anymore."

Zhuge Dali seemed to be deep in thought. "I see. What if Brother Yifan were to be the father?"

Zhuge Dasheng was stunned, then frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Brother Yifan is just a brother. He won't become a father, and he can't become a father."

"I see." Zhuge Dali looked somewhat dejected.

But despite saying that, Zhuge Liang's heart, stirred by the wind, could not immediately calm down.

Wait until you get home.

The tutor had arrived, but Zhuge Dasheng, considering that his daughter was tired and not suitable for class, apologized and asked the tutor to leave first.

The tutor seemed to know that Zhuge Dali had almost gotten lost that afternoon and comforted her. But then the little girl said seriously, "I didn't get lost, I just went to play with my brother."

The tutor seemed a bit confused.

Brother? Where did this brother come from?
That evening, Zhuge Dali stayed in her room.

The desk lamp was bright, and she sat at her desk in a standard sitting posture, with a fist's distance between her chest and the table, her head down as she wrote something in her diary.

Her hair, tied in pigtails, hung down on both sides, and her face was serious.

July 21st, sunny

"The owner of the phone has been found. He's a very interesting young man. It seems like we have a special connection, as we just happened to meet on the overpass."

"Mom seems to like this older brother a lot, and I'm happy with him too."

"If this handsome (crossed out) good-looking older brother could become my dad, I think I could accept it. That way, my dad would be number one in the whole school at parent-teacher conferences!"

"But Mom says this older brother can't become my dad. Why can't he? They seemed to be having a great time chatting. What should I do to make him my dad?"

Putting down her pen, Zhuge Dali's face scrunched up in distress. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her pen again and wrote.

"However, I need to continue observing and collecting more information to determine whether my older brother and mother are a good match."

Inside the hospital.

When Gu Yifan arrived, the caregiver was helping Xinling exercise.

"Mr. Gu, you are here."

Hearing the door open, the caregiver turned around and greeted Gu Yifan.

You could see that Xinling's trouser leg was rolled up, revealing her fair, milky skin. No matter how many times Gu Yifan looked at her, he felt that Xinling's skin was the fairest he had ever seen on a girl. Although he hadn't actually seen that many girls' legs.

"Auntie, I brought you some food and fruit." Gu Yifan said, putting down the things he had bought at the supermarket next to the hospital.

Upon seeing this, the caregiver quickly waved her hand.

"Oh, you're too kind. You don't need to be so polite. Please take it back with you."

But Gu Yifan insisted on giving it to the aunt, since he couldn't stay there 24 hours a day, and he would feel more at ease if he got along well with her.

"Then I'll accept it for now, but please don't take anything from me again next time." The caregiver refused several times, but reluctantly accepted it.

But their attitude became more friendly.

Gu Yifan turned his gaze toward Xinling on the bed.

The caregiver spoke up as if she knew what to do.

She said she hadn't eaten yet and was going to the cafeteria to get something to eat, and that she would have to trouble Gu Yifan to look after Xinling Yunyun for a while.

Gu Yifan knew that the caregiver was making room for him, so he nodded and agreed, "You go and eat, I'll help her move her joints."

The caregiver, perhaps mistaken about the relationship between Gu Yifan and Xinling, smiled and nodded before taking the lunchbox and leaving.

Then came the soft click of the lock clicking shut from the other side of the door.

Gu Yifan then turned his gaze to Xinling, whose beautiful hair was disheveled, lying on the hospital bed.

The caregiver must have just wiped her body and applied hand cream or body lotion.

This can prevent sores from developing due to prolonged bed rest.

The clothes he was wearing must have just been changed, as there was no foul smell in the ward.

Gu Yifan nodded secretly, thinking that this caregiver was indeed as responsible as the doctor had said.

Sitting down by the bed, seeing that the girl's condition had improved slightly and her pretty face was no longer so pale, Gu Yifan said softly.

"Xinling, it's me, Gu Yifan. I've come to see you."

Although there was little hope that Cyndi would wake up on her own, the idea of ​​seeing a doctor was also very unlikely.

But after forty-eight hours, Xinling still showed no signs of waking up, which made Gu Yifan feel somewhat regretful.

"You should be able to hear what I'm saying, right?"

"I've found a way that might wake you up, but it requires some close physical contact. So I have to let you know in advance."

Gu Yifan paused for a moment.

He was referring to the secret method in Lüshi Chunqiu, which requires mobilizing spiritual energy to circulate repeatedly in the meridians and pulses of both parties.

But Cyndi clearly couldn't cooperate, and she had no spiritual power.

Before Gu Yifan became familiar with Xinling's body meridians, he had to rely on his fingers to guide spiritual energy into Xinling's body, which could be done through her clothes.

To be honest, Gu Yifan probably touched Xinling's body all over.

This is about saving lives, Gu Yifan told himself.

Doctors don't consider gender when saving lives; they only see the person as a patient. He should do the same.

"Well... you probably can't answer me right now, but if you really do wake up and remember this, then... you can scold me however you want."

After Gu Yifan finished speaking to Xinling and also prepared himself mentally, he got up from his chair.

The secret methods of Lüshi Chunqiu can be combined with massage.

It doesn't matter where you start.

Gu Yifan's gaze gradually fell on Xinling's calf, which was raised as she lifted her trouser leg.

After the caregiver finished her meal, Shanshan returned to her ward.

They discovered that Gu Yifan was intently massaging the arms and shoulders of the girl who looked like Sleeping Beauty on the hospital bed, his expression focused and serious.

The aunt smiled knowingly.

Gu Yifan approached her himself, so naturally, the aunt assumed they were a couple.

Auntie felt very sorry for Xinling, who was still unconscious. What a pretty young girl, so young. Fortunately, she found a good boyfriend.

They were willing to take care of her, and even helped her find an expensive caregiver and pay her medical bills.

What a good man.

The aunt sighed inwardly, hoping that heaven could help these two unfortunate children.

Gu Yifan heard the noise, but did not stop immediately. In the hour or so that his aunt had gone out, he had already helped Xinling complete a full cycle of her body's energy.

We're almost done with the second Sunday.

The process doesn't need to be detailed.

Anyway, Gu Yifan's heart was racing, but he told himself that he was saving someone, and when he calmed down, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

It will definitely be a bit slow at first.

Gu Yifan estimated that it should be able to operate for three to four days in an hour.

However, it is still unknown how many cycles it will take for Xinling to wake up. But Xinling's complexion is much rosier than before, which can be considered as having some effect.

After Gu Yifan meticulously massaged Xinling's fingers and moved her joints.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and before he knew it, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

The aunt kindly handed him a wet towel, saying, "Mr. Gu, you're so good to your girlfriend."

"Huh?" Gu Yifan was taken aback, wanting to explain that he and Xinling were not in a romantic relationship.

But then again.

If the caregiver mistakenly believes the two are a couple, then if she sees Gu Yifan giving Xinling a massage in the future, she probably won't suspect anything.

Thinking of this, Gu Yifan didn't explain. It didn't matter if his reputation suffered a little; whether Xinling could wake up was more important.

It was 10 p.m. when I left the hospital.

Taking advantage of the break, Gu Yifan plugged in the silver phone he had just recovered, using a universal charger for convenience.

Gu Yifan had just turned on his phone.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" A series of text message notification sounds came through.

Most of the text messages were from Su Weiwei.

The most recent message was from half an hour ago, asking why Gu Yifan wasn't replying to her messages. She said if he didn't reply today, she would come to his apartment to drag him away tomorrow.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and then edited a text message to send it over.

I briefly explained the reason.

He was probably having a run of bad luck; he lost his phone again, but luckily his bad luck wasn't too severe, and he just got it back.

I wonder if Su Weiwei will accept this somewhat outrageous explanation.

Gu Yifan had just turned off the screen when, to his surprise, his phone buzzed again a second later.

"No way, a reply in seconds?"

Okay, it wasn't a message from Su Weiwei, but from an unfamiliar phone number.

"I am Zhuge Dasheng. Thank you for bringing Dali back today. I wonder how your friend is doing? I'd like to visit her tomorrow."

Gu Yifan first added Zhuge Dasheng's phone number to his notes, then sent a message indicating that it was okay, along with the ward number.

Before I could even click send, my new phone called again.

Gu Yifan (ー_ー)!! Ugh~ I feel like I have no will to live.
Lin Wanyu

The phone rang, and Gu Yifan silently looked up at the full moon in the sky.

Damn it
