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

Chapter 112 Long Time No See, My Dear Brother

The sweetly dressed Nolan appeared.

The whole bar seemed to brighten up and become more vibrant, and that's no exaggeration; it was all thanks to the presence of beautiful women.

Wow.

Gu Yifan frowned when he suddenly heard a loud "Wow!" from beside him. Who could it be?
What if we get caught?

结果
Apart from Gu Yifan, all the other boys, including Meijia, stared wide-eyed at the sweet beauty at the door.

The "wow" they exclaimed earlier was unusually loud because they all spoke at the same time.

"This older sister is so sweet and beautiful."

Meijia's eyes sparkled.

She also has a sweet style, but she's the kind of girl who's a bit clumsy, not on the same level as the sweet, elegant, and intellectual Nolan.

But that doesn't stop Mika from liking the other person's outfit.

"To me, she looks like she's going on a picnic," Lin Wanyu said softly after looking at Nuolan's outfit.

"Who knows?" Gu Yifan shrugged, not paying much attention.

Lin Wanyu was very satisfied that Gu Yifan was the only boy who didn't exclaim "Wow!"

Now she increasingly feels that Gu Yifan is full of good qualities.

She likes guys who only have eyes for her~ hehe
"Look, Teacher Zeng has walked past," Guan Gu whispered.

Sure enough, Zeng Xiaoxian practically jumped off his chair and ran towards the door.

Gu Yifan could even see the fawning, smug smile on Teacher Zeng's face.

"How embarrassing." Hu Yifei noticed it too, and muttered disdainfully.

"I'm so envious of Teacher Zeng," Zhanbo said, clenching his fists with longing.

Sitting next to such a beautiful woman, the air must smell sweet.

"I declare that Teacher Zeng is the public enemy of all men in Love Apartment!" Lu Ziqiao said through gritted teeth, feeling a bit sour. Zeng Xiaoxian really got off easy.

Zeng Xiaoxian had said she was a beauty, but Lu Ziqiao didn't think much of it. Who would have thought—she really is!
Damn it, what gives Zeng Xiaoxian the right to do this?!
Gu Yifan noticed that Guan Gu was staring intently in that direction and reminded him, "Guan Gu, be careful, don't expose yourself."

"Oh, I'm recording her characteristics. I want to use her as a model to draw a comic book," Guan Gu said with anticipation. "Do you think she'll agree to be my model?"

Seeing this, Mika stamped her foot in frustration, "Guan Gu-kun, I can be your model too!"

Unfortunately, Guan Gu's resistant gaze made Mei Jia feel like she had been hurt a second time.

"Mika, I'm not saying you're unsuitable. However, Miss Nolan would be better."

"Mika: Pfft! (Spits blood) Why was Lan born if Jia was born?"

Gu Yifan: "."

No, is it really that serious?

One Nuolan, and you've already done this.

Tsk, I've never had anything good to eat.

Gu Yifan thought it was just average; she was pretty, though.
But to be honest, Gu Yifan felt a bit resistant and didn't really feel anything.

Why is it that I even feel a bit smug and want to laugh?

Just when almost all the men in Love Apartment were captivated by Nolan's sweet and beautiful face.

"She's looking this way!" Mika whispered a reminder.

Sure enough, Nuolan, who had greeted Zeng Xiaoxian at the door, seemed to be searching for something.

Her gaze swept across the bar, finally settling on the area where a crowd had gathered.

"Quickly, everyone do your own thing, don't look up!" Lu Ziqiao immediately gave the order.

He and Zhanbo drank coffee with their heads down, while Meijia pretended to chat with Guangu.

Hu Yifei picked up Gu Yifan's coffee and took a sip, while Lin Wanyu followed suit, picking up Gu Yifan's croissant and taking a bite.

Gu Yifan: No, are you two being polite? Don't you even have your own afternoon tea?

Gu Yifan didn't lower his head because he was wearing sunglasses, which, although somewhat incongruous, concealed his gaze.

But then, Gu Yifan felt that something was not quite right.

Because after Nolan's gaze swept over the others, it eventually settled on him.

She even tilted her head to look at him.

Gu Yifan was shocked. "I'm wearing big sunglasses to cover my face, how could they still notice me?"
Never mind, I'll just put on my mask later.

Fortunately, Nuolan stared at Gu Yifan for a few seconds before finally looking away.

He spoke a few words softly to Zeng Xiaoxian, who was standing next to him like a bag carrier, and then they walked together to the booth.

"Phew, all alert."

Lu Ziqiao lowered his voice again and said something, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gu Yifan, why was she staring at you just now?" Lin Wanyu asked first.

Although she was eating a croissant, she was also secretly observing Nuolan's things out of the corner of her eye. Lin Wanyu noticed that Nuolan lingered in this direction for a long time.

"Who knows?" Gu Yifan frowned. For some reason, he had a bad feeling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Alright, I've seen her, I'm ready to leave." Gu Yifan took out his phone, intending to ask Su Weiwei where she was.

At this moment, Lü Ziqiao spoke up again, "Look, Teacher Zeng and Nuolan are looking this way."

"Has she found out about us?"

Gu Yifan silently complained, "It wouldn't be surprising if they were discovered. The space is so big, there's no one sitting over there, only people sitting here. Didn't you guys think about sitting separately?"

"Ahhh, I really want to know what Teacher Zeng was saying to her!"

Meijia, however, only cared about gossip; she liked Nuolan's outfit at first sight.

"I really want to go and chat with that lady. She must be very gentle and understanding."

"puff."

Gu Yifan chuckled.

Everyone else looked at him.

"Cough cough, it's nothing, my back is just a little itchy," Gu Yifan said, somewhat surprised himself.

Why did I suddenly want to laugh? My first thought was that what Meijia said was outrageous.

"Then I'll help you scratch it."

Lin Wanyu said solicitously.

She was pleased with Gu Yifan's behavior of not looking at other girls and decided to reward him.

"Shh, all of you be quiet!"

Lu Ziqiao stared at Nuolan and Zeng Xiaoxian over there. They seemed to be talking about something, and would occasionally glance in their direction.

Zeng Xiaoxian looked surprised.

"I can read lips, let me figure out what they're talking about!"

"When did you learn to read lips? You're more like talking to birds," Mika said dismissively.

But Hu Yifei seemed somewhat interested. "Let him see, Ziqiao, look what they're saying!"

Lu Ziqiao squinted and said after a moment.

"Based on my rough judgment, that's what they're probably saying."

Zeng Xiaoxian: Miss Nuolan, you are exceptionally charming and beautiful today. It is my great honor to sit with you.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Zeng would never talk like that!" Meijia immediately jumped out to interrupt Lu Ziqiao, "Don't project your own sleazy self onto this, okay!"

Lu Ziqiao smacked his lips twice. "I only added a tiny bit."

"Not even a little bit!" everyone whispered in unison.

Lu Ziqiao nodded and reached out to make a zipping motion.

"Hurry up and translate!" Hu Yifei was intrigued, looking on with amusement.

Gu Yifan didn't seem jealous at all; instead, he looked like he was enjoying his good brother's gossip.

Lü Ziqiao continued translating.

"Nolan: Sorry I'm a little late because of traffic today."

Zeng Xiaoxian: It's no problem, it's no problem. It's already an honor that you came, hahaha. What I mean is, welcome, welcome.

Nolan: By the way, I think the people over there are acting a bit strange.

Lu Ziqiao paused, just as Nuolan and Zeng Xiaoxian turned to look again.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads.

Gu Yifan was speechless. This was probably the only way to expose them. After a while, Lü Ziqiao continued.

Zeng Xiaoxian: How strange? I don't know them either, haha, they do look a bit odd.

Nolan: You really don't know him? I actually really hate men who lie.

Zeng Xiaoxian: Actually... well, I admit it, they are all my roommates, but I really didn't invite them on purpose, they just insisted on coming.

"Nolan: Oh, your roommate is quite interesting. But this is only our first meeting. I'll be shy if you invite your roommate over."

"No... Are you sure your translation is correct?" Gu Yifan gradually felt something was wrong and looked at Lü Ziqiao suspiciously.

"Yes, trust me, I've had further training," Lu Ziqiao said confidently.

"Keep going, keep going," Lin Wanyu urged.

"OK."

Zeng Xiaoxian: Haha, it's okay, my roommates are all very easy to get along with. You see, they won't disturb our date.

Nolan: I'm relieved now, Teacher Zeng~ Do you think I look good today?

Zeng Xiaoxian: It's good-looking, very good-looking.

"Nolan: I'm glad you like it. I was worried you wouldn't. Actually, when I first saw you at the radio station, my heart was pounding like a deer."

Zeng Xiaoxian: Really? To be honest, I also...
"enough!"

Lu Ziqiao's translation was interrupted again.

"What is all this nonsense?" Lin Wanyu and Hu Yifei rolled their eyes at the same time.

"You are fired!"

Gu Yifan was also speechless. He knew he shouldn't have believed Lu Ziqiao; the more he listened, the more outrageous it seemed.

"Ziqiao, you should go back and relearn it. It's all nonsense."

Even Zhanbo and the others felt that Lü Ziqiao's translation was problematic.

"Impossible! That's exactly what I read. Look at Teacher Zeng's surprised and astonished eyes, doesn't it look like the unexpected joy of happiness?" Lu Ziqiao tried to salvage his reputation.

"I think it sounds more like a fright," Lin Wanyu said, frowning.

"Indeed, Teacher Zeng seemed to be wiping away sweat, and he was also looking this way, with a forced smile."

Meijia immediately agreed.

Lu Ziqiao disagreed, saying, "Teacher Zeng hasn't eaten well in all these years, so it's normal for him to be nervous."

As he spoke, he began to straighten his clothes and fix his hair.

Gu Yifan glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Ziqiao grinned mischievously, "I'll step in and save the day! If Teacher Zeng faints, I'll take his place—and show you the hospitality of our Love Apartment!"

Zhanbo immediately raised his hand, "I can be a substitute."

Meijia angrily grabbed Lu Ziqiao's ear, "Sit down! What are you thinking about?"

"They haven't even touched their seats, that's strange. What are they talking about?" Hu Yifei observed carefully, but she was even more curious.

Just when everyone felt an itch in their hearts, as if a cat was scratching at them.

"They've stood up!" Mika exclaimed. "Are they leaving?"

Zhanbo: "Has Teacher Zeng already been passed over? He's even faster than me."

"No, that's not right." Hu Yifei blinked. "They're walking this way. Stay hidden!"

That's right, Zeng Xiaoxian and Nuolan stood up.

He showed no intention of leaving; instead, he walked towards them.

Lu Ziqiao lowered his head and cursed under his breath, "That coward Zeng Xiaoxian, how could he betray us like that?"

But Gu Yifan felt that something was wrong, as if it was going beyond expectations.

In particular, Nuolan had a faint smile on her face that Gu Yifan found very familiar.

To others, it might just be an ordinary smile, but Gu Yifan felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that the smile was dangerous!

The bar wasn't very big, and the two of them walked over in just a few steps.

You can still faintly hear Zeng Xiaoxian's voice, "Yifan has been very popular since he came to our apartment; everyone likes him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu looked at Gu Yifan with a puzzled expression.

His eyes seemed to be asking what was going on.

Gu Yifan: How should I know? What happened?

There was no coincidence; the two were targeting the onlookers.

They stopped upon hearing footsteps.

Zeng Xiaoxian's helpless voice also came over, "Alright everyone, stop pretending."

Everyone then looked up, exchanging glances, too embarrassed to look at Nuolan's expression.

After all, getting caught red-handed while watching a melon is pretty embarrassing.

Up close, Nuolan is wearing a sleeveless dress, revealing her snow-white arms. Her features are so delicate that she looks like a porcelain doll, and every smile and frown is sweet and charming.

Everyone felt awkward.

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Gu Yifan, sighed softly, and his resentful look was almost palpable.

Gu Yifan's heart tightened, and he slowly raised his head.

The answer in his mind was almost obvious.

"Teacher Zeng, what brings you here?" Zhanbo asked, bewildered.

Zeng Xiaoxian fell silent and looked at Nuolan beside him.

From the moment she walked over, her gaze was fixed on Gu Yifan and never left him.

With a gentle smile on her face, Nuolan walked step by step to Gu Yifan's side.

After examining him closely, she raised her delicate hand and removed the sunglasses from Gu Yifan's face.

Behind his sunglasses, Gu Yifan remained expressionless, his face bearing a look of utter despair.

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes widened.

"hiss--!"

Is it that fierce?

"Lu Ziqiao: Jealous, so incredibly jealous! How can Gu Yifan, wearing sunglasses, still attract the attention of beautiful women? This is illogical!"

Guan Gu: Waaaaaah, the female protagonist of my manga!

Zhanbo: I'm so envious.

Hu Yifei: ?! How dare you be such a scoundrel in front of me! Wanyu, your boyfriend's being harassed! What do you do, go for it or not?!

Lin Wanyu: What's going on?! Hey! Don't you dare lay a finger on Gu Yifan!!!

Just as Lin Wanyu was angrily about to step forward and assert her sovereignty.

After observing Gu Yifan's expression, Nuolan smiled and spoke in a very sweet and standard broadcasting voice.

"Xiao Fan, why didn't you say hello to your older sister when you saw her?"

The expressions on everyone's faces gradually changed:

[_?]——(⊿)？ ？ ！
They all turned to look at Gu Yifan, then at Nuolan.

I was so shocked I couldn't speak.

Lin Wanyu's eyes widened, she stopped in her tracks, and asked blankly, "You...you guys?"

Meeting Nuolan's gaze and seeing the mockery in her eyes, Gu Yifan finally spoke with difficulty.

"sister?"

The anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.

"Eh~"

Nuolan tilted her head and agreed.

She reached out and pinched Gu Yifan's cheek, a satisfied smile appearing on her pretty face.

He then turned to look at Lin Wanyu and took the initiative to extend his hand to introduce himself.

"This must be Wanyu, right? I'm Gu Yifan's older sister, Nuolan!"

"My younger sister has been taking good care of my brother during this time."

Lin Wanyu, looking completely bewildered, reached out and shook hands with Nuolan, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Yifan.

How is this going?
