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

Chapter 115 Fairy vs. Fox Demon! They Both Have designs on him

After being reminded by Nuolan.

Su Weiwei behaved much more normally, still chatting and laughing, but she didn't have much intimate contact with Gu Yifan anymore.

Nolan was relieved.

Subconsciously, she was somewhat worried. How could she let that scoundrel steal her younger brother, whom she had raised for so many years?

Nuolan's feelings for Gu Yifan are complicated.

From the initial resistance to the unexpected arrival of a younger brother after her mother's second marriage, to the deliberate bullying, and then gradually getting used to it.

But once you get used to it, it becomes even harder to explain.

There are many reasons for this, such as the recent breakup of the new family, the mother's illness, and the years when the siblings relied on each other.

This has made Nuolan feel insecure and distrustful of love and marriage.

They believe that nothing is permanent.

No matter how many vows of eternal love are made, in the end, everything will end up in a mess, won't it?

That's why Nolan always had a skeptical and pessimistic attitude towards her suitors.

Sometimes I overreact and deliberately tease them.

This can be considered a type of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Only one person is different.

Nuolan believed that Gu Yifan, a boy she had grown up with since childhood and nurtured little by little, would not abandon her, regardless of whether it was due to childhood memories or not.

The shy little boy has grown into a handsome young man, and Nuolan is very happy.

But he's no longer the obedient little brother he used to be, and Nuolan doesn't like that.

Nuolan watched Gu Yifan go to get rice and sighed softly. Why couldn't the two of them go back to how they were before?

Nuolan stared blankly at Gu Yifan's retreating figure, a sight that Su Weiwei noticed beside her.

As her best friend who had grown up together, she naturally knew that Nuolan was a girl with a lot of insecurity.

No matter how sweet and elegant Nolan is now, and how much she is regarded as a rising star in the television station, her essence will not change.

Su Weiwei knew this too.

Nuolan cares deeply for Gu Yifan, regarding him as her unique treasure.

She had initially thought that since they hadn't seen each other much in the past few years, her possessiveness would have faded, but now it seems that it hasn't changed much.

Su Weiwei was even certain that it would become even stronger in the future.

If it were a different guy, Su Weiwei definitely wouldn't have competed with her best friend for him.

But
Gu Yifan is different.

Really.

Su Weiwei silently watched Nuolan, who was lost in thought.

He is your darling, but he was also the angel who once rescued her from the dark night of depression.

So this time, she couldn't back down.

Gu Yifan didn't notice the two women's little scheme.

He simply remarked that there are still many wealthy people in Shanghai.

Who would believe that this seemingly ordinary fishing village is now packed with tourists?

Even if we haven't reached a future where information spreads at breakneck speed, right now, any new food or beautiful scenery will still spread very quickly.

This farmhouse restaurant was almost full; you had to queue for food.
"Slurp."

The sound of sniffling came from below.

Gu Yifan looked down and noticed a well-behaved and cute little girl standing in front of him, with two pigtails, secretly turning her head to look at him.

Although the little girl thought she was well hidden, and Gu Yifan quickly turned around as soon as he lowered his head, adults could still easily spot her.

Seeing the little girl tentatively turn her head again, Gu Yifan smiled slightly at her.

The little girl was stunned. The little bit of snot hanging from her nose was about to drip down.

"Little sister, can you reach the rice cooker? Let me help you cook it." Gu Yifan asked the cute little girl with pigtails with a smile.

The little girl glanced at the tall table, handed the bowl in her hand to Gu Yifan, and said very politely, "Thank you, big brother."

"You're welcome." Gu Yifan took the porcelain bowl, filled the little girl's bowl with rice, and handed it to her.

"Big brother, you're so handsome." The little girl took the rice, said quickly, and then turned and ran away shyly.

Innocent children always bring a smile to people's faces.

Of course, leaving aside those noisy, unruly children.

Gu Yifan felt that while unruly children were certainly hateful, parents who failed to educate their children were even more despicable.

Quickly serve the rice.

Gu Yifan carried three porcelain bowls to the two women sitting at the small table.

A soup pot was already placed on the gas stove on the table, with milky white fish soup bubbling inside, and it smelled really delicious.

"Let's eat."

Nuolan and Su Weiwei woke up at the same time and nodded subconsciously, saying in unison, "Okay."

They looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Nolan, what were you thinking about just now?" Su Weiwei got up, took the rice, handed it to Nolan, and asked with a smile.

"Me? I'm thinking about the show. Lisa came to the radio station to select a few hosts and asked me to help her think of some. I don't have time at all," Nuolan said, sighing softly as she mentioned work, resting her chin on her hand in a cute pose.

At this moment, Nuolan looks younger than in the TV series, with a face full of collagen and a more vibrant spirit.

But compared to a young girl like Lin Wanyu, she is more mature.

It's just right.

Su Weiwei nodded in empathy and sighed, "I'm also thinking about the cases. There are mountains of cases on my hands, and I can't seem to finish them all. If this continues, I'll age prematurely."

The two exchanged a smile, then lowered their heads somewhat guiltily to pick up their chopsticks.

Gu Yifan remained silent.

Tsk, going to work, who doesn't go crazy?

It's already quite an achievement that the two women, who have been working for several years, can still maintain their beauty.

Gu Yifan, who was a graduate student back then, looks like a man in his thirties.

It's all tears when I try to talk about it.

Gu Yifan has come to understand one thing: if you want to get rich, working for someone else is impossible; you'll only be a beast of burden for the rest of your life.

Someone like him can only feed his teammates and buy things for them to earn a little money in rebates, barely making ends meet.

I ate at a farmhouse restaurant that Su Weiwei highly rated.

The three of them then switched into tourist mode, taking photos, checking in at various spots, and strolling around.

The tranquil lake scenery, the bright summer sun, and the azure sky make the landscape even more vibrant; after all, the weather is the best filter.

However, all three are handsome men and beautiful women with outstanding looks, and they attract frequent attention wherever they go.

"Thanks to Xiao Fan, it really saved us a lot of trouble."

Su Weiwei glanced discreetly at the passersby who kept looking in their direction, then covered her mouth and whispered to Nuolan.

“Yes.” Nolan nodded in agreement.

When these two beautiful women go out, they're used to all sorts of people approaching them and striking up conversations.

With Gu Yifan by their side, his idol-like handsome appearance and tall, muscular physique deterred many from even trying.

I'm naturally happy now that I'm no longer bothered by people constantly hitting on me.

Nolan would occasionally take a few photos with her camera, but she wasn't very satisfied with the results.

While the camera played a role, Gu Yifan felt the biggest factor was the person taking the photo.

"How about I take the photos?"

Seeing the two women under the shade of the tree, heads up to each other, criticizing the photos Nuolan had taken, both looking dissatisfied, Gu Yifan volunteered. "You?" Nuolan looked up, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Gu Yifan, somewhat surprised. "You can take pictures?"

"It's never a bad thing to give it a try."

Gu Yifan is really good at it. Taking photos is a skill these days, but in the future, many photography bloggers will offer hands-on tutorials, and Gu Yifan happens to really enjoy taking pictures.

I learned some practical skills.

"This camera of mine is a Sony, it's brand new, don't break it," Nuolan said to Gu Yifan with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Compared to Yifei and Wanyu, she is a flawless, impeccable, sweet, and intellectual older sister.

In Gu Yifan's eyes, Nuolan was undoubtedly a different person; beneath her seemingly mature exterior lay the heart of a little girl.

"I know, I know." Gu Yifan took the camera from Nuolan.

Su Weiwei took out a small makeup mirror from her bag, examined her makeup, and then smoothed her waist-length hair, chuckling, "Make sure you take good pictures of me and your sister."

"I look so ugly in Xiao Lanlan's photos that I'm about to cry."

"Su! Wei! Wei!"

Nuolan blushed slightly, raised her fist, and glared at her best friend threateningly, begging her not to embarrass her in front of her brother.

Su Weiwei tilted her head and spread her hands, her pretty face showing helplessness.

They won't even let people talk about it, really.

Not entirely reassured, Nuolan moved closer to Gu Yifan, standing on tiptoe to peer at the camera.

As a result, it was quite inconvenient for her petite frame to stand on tiptoe. Nuolan playfully patted Gu Yifan's arm and said, "Squat down a bit."

"."

"Okay, okay," Gu Yifan replied helplessly, and simply squatted down.

Nuolan bent down, and her hair, which was half-tied into a bun, fell down, with some strands landing on the back of Gu Yifan's neck, making it a little itchy.

"Hair is blocking the camera lens."

"Ugh! So nagging." Nuolan pouted, thinking that Gu Yifan was really different from before. Now he was bolder and even started to dislike her.

She simply lifted her skirt and squatted down next to Gu Yifan.

Snow-white arms wrapped around Gu Yifan's neck, and the two were almost pressed together.

This overly intimate gesture made Gu Yifan slightly stiff.

But Gu Yifan didn't pay much attention and focused on fiddling with this extremely old-fashioned camera.

"What are you doing?" Su Weiwei walked over curiously, but instead of squatting down, she put one hand on Gu Yifan's shoulder and asked.

"Adjust the parameters."

Although Gu Yifan was only a mediocre player, he was much better than the two women. It seems that no one is perfect.

Being beautiful doesn't necessarily mean you're a good photographer.

As for Nuolan, she didn't think there was anything wrong with getting close to Gu Yifan.

She could suddenly smell a very faint fragrance emanating from Gu Yifan.

At first, Nuolan thought it was the scent on the little girl and felt a little jealous, but she soon realized that the fragrance was quite special.

It doesn't feel like perfume; it's more like a natural body scent.

Nolan took a sniff quietly.

Hmm, it smells quite nice.
Could it have come from Xiao Fan?
Do boys have a natural body odor?
Nolan felt the scent was too faint; she had to look closely to detect it, and even then, she wasn't satisfied and wanted to get closer.
Therefore, the distance between Nuolan's head and Gu Yifan's shoulder is getting closer and closer.

"Nolan? What are you doing?" Su Weiwei's voice suddenly came.

Nuolan, who had a slightly intoxicated expression, was startled and quickly let go of his arm. "I wasn't doing anything, just looking at the photos."

Su Weiwei, however, felt it didn't quite seem like it.

She clearly saw Nuolan's pretty face almost rubbing against Gu Yifan's neck.

That's outrageous!

She was told not to get too close to Gu Yifan, but look at Nuolan, she's like an older sister should act.
Nuolan's cheeks also flushed slightly, and she quickly moved away, but just then she saw Gu Yifan's profile with his head down and a serious expression.

For a fleeting moment, Nuolan was slightly dazed.

It turns out that the boy who used to be so childish has really grown up.

"All right."

After Gu Yifan finished fiddling with it once and roughly understood how to operate it, he stood up confidently.

When she turned her head, she found Nuolan staring at her in a daze, her delicate face slightly flushed.

"Hmm?" Gu Yifan asked, puzzled. What's the problem?
Nuolan looked away and helped Gu Yifan stand up. "My legs are numb from squatting for so long. If the photos don't turn out well, I'll hold you accountable!"

"Weiwei, let's go. I saw a pretty pier earlier."

Nuolan, arm in arm with Su Weiwei, headed straight for the pier.

Gu Yifan was confused.

[Nolan's affection for you +2]

Can you increase favorability before even taking a picture?
At first, the two women didn't quite trust Gu Yifan's photography skills.

But after Gu Yifan found the right angle and took a few test shots for them to see, the two women's attitudes subtly changed.

"Wow, these photos are really good! Keep up the good work, I'll treat you to extra chicken drumsticks tonight," Su Weiwei said with a hint of surprise after seeing the photos of herself.

Nuolan, however, remained somewhat defiant, saying, "I think it's just average."

Gu Yifan silently looked up: Are you serious?

He found several photos of Su Weiwei that Nuolan had taken before and compared them, immediately revealing the difference in quality.

Nolan: "."

Su Weiwei was surprised to see her best friend's face turn red instantly. "Wow, Xiao Lanlan, you blush so quickly!"

Enraged, Nuolan tried to snatch the camera from Gu Yifan's hand, yelling, "Give it back to me! Don't look! Don't look!"

Gu Yifan silently raised the camera to its highest position.

The result was that even when Nuolan stood on tiptoe, she couldn't reach it.

"Pfft, hahaha." Su Weiwei laughed, laughing unrestrainedly, her body shaking with mirth.

"Gu Yifan! I've put up with you for far too long! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll think you don't even care about me as your older sister anymore!"

Unfortunately, Nolan's sweet voice means that even when she's angry, she's still adorable.

Gu Yifan knew when to stop, so he handed the camera to Nuolan.

But now Nuolan doesn't want the camera anymore; she wants Gu Yifan's brain!
The sounds of their playful laughter attracted the curious glances of other tourists.

The tourists laughed when they saw the petite Nuolan chasing after the tall Gu Yifan with great ferocity.

This might stem from the older sister's suppression. Well, even without blood ties, an older sister is still an older sister.

In the end, Nuolan couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Gu Yifan, who was far away from her, Nuolan's beautiful eyes flickered.

"Come here, I won't hit you anymore."

Gu Yifan: Ha, do you think I'm stupid?
However, after this commotion, he felt that he and Nuolan were much closer, and he found that feeling of siblings bickering and teasing each other again.

Just as Nuolan was coercing and enticing Gu Yifan to walk into her trap.

A shout suddenly came from the nearby pier, drawing Gu Yifan's attention.

"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke!"

On the right-hand pier, an anxious woman is gripping the railing and peering into the water.

He looked around in a panic and shouted for help.

"Please help! My daughter has fallen into the lake! Help!"

From Gu Yifan's angle, he could see a small figure struggling in the water.

Two familiar pigtails caught Gu Yifan's eye, and the image of a shy little girl sniffling appeared in his mind.

"Isn't that the little girl who eats lunch at noon?"
