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

Chapter 152 Alone at Night
Yangchun noodles are very easy to make.

Gu Yifan remembered seeing it from a popular web series that aired back then.

After trying it, I fell in love with this simple and delicious clear broth noodle dish.

'A handful of thin noodles, half a bowl of broth, a cup of water, five qian of lard, a spoonful of soy sauce, and two crisp, succulent bok choy.'

The water in the pot boiled, and white steam rose.

Place a little boxed lard from the supermarket at the bottom of the bowl, add a spoonful of soy sauce, then pour in the noodle soup, and finally place a halved, smooth, white hard-boiled egg on top.

"Try it, I quite like it."

Gu Yifan carried two bowls of noodles to the dining table, where Lin Wanyu was already sitting, resting her chin on her hand, gazing at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Mmm." Lin Wanyu looked down at the steaming bowl of noodles, a feeling of happiness welling up inside her. Half shy and half joking, she said, "Gu Yifan, you look so handsome when you cook. From now on, you can cook exclusively for me."

"I cook for you specially?" Gu Yifan put down his chopsticks. "Miss Lin, you're quite possessive."

"Hehe." Lin Wanyu puffed out her chest proudly, "From now on, you'll stay home and cook for me, give me massages, and I'll take care of you~"

Believe it or not, Lin Wanyu really does have that ability.

Gu Yifan smiled but didn't say anything. "Be careful, it's hot."

The soup is clear and flavorful, with a light and refreshing taste.

I added some fish soup from the evening, which made it even sweeter.

"It's delicious," Lin Wanyu affirmed.

"This is the best noodles I've ever eaten."

Gu Yifan chuckled, "It's just ordinary noodles from the supermarket, what's so special about it?"

As someone from a slightly northern region, Gu Yifan prefers hand-pulled noodles, which are chewier, but he also eats dried noodles.

“It’s different.” Lin Wanyu took a small sip of soup, her face flushed slightly, and said softly.

When she was feeling down, seeing Gu Yifan waiting for her all night when she came back, even if it was just a bowl of plain noodles, made Lin Wanyu feel much better.

Gu Yifan sighed that Lin Wanyu was really easy to coax.

If this were the future... tsk, why only a little bit of noodles, not even a cup of milk tea? You can't even afford KFC, what a poor bastard!
This kind of thing happens simply because, between loving oneself, loving money, and loving one's partner, one has chosen to love oneself or loving money.

After finishing her meal, Lin Wanyu washed the dishes and then hurriedly ran back to the living room, throwing herself into Gu Yifan's arms.

Gu Yifan didn't say anything, letting Miss Lin nuzzle against his neck and shoulders, making soft moaning noises.

It looks like a little pig looking for potatoes in the field.

After a while.

"It feels like a wild boar is nudging me," Gu Yifan muttered to himself.

Lin Wanyu was furious. Her beautiful eyes glared angrily at Gu Yifan. She just wanted to get close to Gu Yifan, but he called her a little wild boar.
"You're the big wild boar, you've ruined my beautiful little flower." Lin Wanyu cupped Gu Yifan's face in her hands, straddled his lap, and said coquettishly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Miss Lin is right.

Gu Yifan took the initiative to raise his hand and place it on Lin Wanyu's waist through her clothes. His thumbs could almost touch when he clasped his hands together, which showed how slender the girl's waist was.

"I'm so full, I just finished eating." Lin Wanyu slapped Gu Yifan's big hand away and said reproachfully, "Let me hug you for a while."

But then she saw Gu Yifan's gaze gradually change, and he looked at her intently.

Sensing something, Lin Wanyu blushed, her beautiful eyes became hazy, and she gently bit her lip and grabbed Gu Yifan's collar.

"Idiot, what naughty thoughts are you having?"

Gu Yifan did not answer, but instead sank his hand into the soft surface, proving to himself that he not only dared to think but also dared to do.

Lin Wanyu fell silent; her breathing quickened, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Gu Yifan."

"Change your name."

As Gu Yifan spoke, he gently tightened his grip on Lin Wanyu's slender waist.

The girl's soft, fragrant body pressed against him.

Lin Wanyu's heart raced again, and she whispered something in Gu Yifan's ear, barely a whisper.

"Brother Yifan~"

The beautiful woman blushed shyly, like a flower bud about to bloom.

Even if Gu Yifan were Tang Sanzang, he would be completely captivated by this sound.

Neither of them spoke, and their shadows gradually overlapped, embracing and kissing.

The warm yellow light bathed the suite, adding a touch of romance.

After a long while, Gu Yifan pushed the girls away and said helplessly, "That's about enough."

If this continues, I really won't be able to stand it.

With only the two of them present, Lin Wanyu became bolder and shifted her position, sitting sideways in Gu Yifan's lap.

She wrapped her arms around Gu Yifan's neck and said with a grin, "Sorry~ I had to go on my period."

Gu Yifan pouted and muttered, "That's right, it's really bad timing."

"Pfft." Lin Wanyu's face turned bright red.

Even the simpleton has finally figured it out.

Lin Wanyu stopped trying to provoke him and changed the subject, pressing her fair forehead against Gu Yifan's cheek and whispering.

"Thank you~"

"Thank you for what?"

"You're still waiting for me so late," Lin Wanyu said softly.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and then told the truth, "I can't sleep if you're not back."

Lin Wanyu squinted her eyes happily, and said somewhat shyly, "I was a little nervous before I saw you, but I felt calm as soon as I saw you."

Gu Yifan smiled, and after a while asked, "How's the work as a telephone editor?"

Mentioning this, Lin Wanyu pouted and looked a little sullen, "Gu Yifan, do you think I'm very useless?"

Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What, you're planning to stay home and be a wife and mother while I go out to work and earn money?"

"What? I'm serious."

Lin Wanyu chuckled, playfully biting Gu Yifan's shoulder, then, not caring that it hurt him, she pressed herself against him and rubbed against him, explaining in a sweet, cloying voice.

"I went to work as an encyclopedia book seller, but you ended up selling to me. I also worked as a customer service representative for Yifei's online store, but I didn't have many customers."

"I'm still not doing a good job as a telephone editor for Teacher Zeng."

"I feel I've let Teacher Zeng down because I don't know which calls I should answer and which I shouldn't."

Lin Wanyu bit her lip and continued dejectedly, "I originally thought I could support myself, but now I see that if I hadn't met you and everyone else as soon as I got off the plane, I probably would have been dragged back by the bodyguards on the very first day."

Gu Yifan listened attentively.

Lin Wanyu has lost confidence in herself. After several setbacks, the once confident young lady is starting to doubt her life and herself.

Lin Wanyu paused for a moment, then continued, "But I don't want to go back like this. I know my dad has been silent for so long because he's waiting to see me make a fool of myself, waiting for me to run into a wall and go back on my own."

"I don't want to admit defeat, and I don't want to leave you."

Lin Wanyu propped herself up on her arms, looked at Gu Yifan with a sullen expression, and asked, "Am I really useless?"

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, then patted Lin Wanyu on the back, signaling her to move to the side.

My legs are numb from being pressed down.

Lin Wanyu crossed her legs and sat facing Gu Yifan on the sofa, looking at him expectantly.

“I think that whether it was before or now, your job search is a process of trial and error,” Gu Yifan said, expressing his thoughts.

“It’s okay to experience setbacks temporarily. Everyone has low points. Wanyu, you just haven’t found your strengths yet, so go and discover them.” “Besides, this is only your first day of trial work. You haven’t had any experience in this area before, so it’s normal to make mistakes.”

Lin Wanyu still couldn't cheer up. She pouted, "But do I really have any strengths?"

She thought and thought, and realized that she seemed to have learned nothing over the years and had no marketable skills at all.

“Your track is different from everyone else’s.” Gu Yifan smiled and reached out to ruffle Lin Wanyu’s hair.

Lin Wanyu grabbed his arm and pressed him for an answer, "Different tracks? What do you mean?"

"It's just that your approach is different from others."

Lin Wanyu naturally doesn't need to learn any so-called special skills; all she needs is excellent foresight and experience in managing a company.

Because she can't stay a small telephone editor forever, or go and become a salesperson or a customer service representative.

These are just some of Lin Wanyu's experiences, not her entire life.

Her life will be spent at lavish banquets in Hilton hotels and lavender farms in Angers, France, not in windowless, oppressive live-streaming studios or commuting on the subway to find clients.

However, Gu Yifan definitely couldn't tell.

All you have to do is wait to go back to your dad's company and gradually inherit the family business from a middle management position.

"Your knowledge of fashion and luxury goods, your insight and vision are your strengths."

"These are considered strengths?" Lin Wanyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“How is it not a strength?” Gu Yifan retorted, reaching for Teacher Zeng’s magazine and handing it to Lin Wanyu.

"Take a look at what's on this page. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Lin Wanyu took it with some skepticism, glanced through it briefly, and noticed several errors in the content.

"Wow, this magazine is so amateurish, so many mistakes." Lin Wanyu pouted, quickly pointed them out, and finally shook her head, closed the magazine, and concluded, "The person who wrote this must be an idiot, how could they make such mistakes?"

Gu Yifan took the magazine and shrugged.

"But I just can't see it. Maybe the editor who wrote the content isn't stupid, but rather that he's simply never been exposed to these things before."

"Never had any contact with it? How could that be?" Lin Wanyu said subconsciously.

But the clever Miss Lin quickly realized that not everyone can be like her, always keeping up with fashion trends and knowing all about luxury brands.

But Lin Wanyu still didn't quite understand how this had anything to do with her strengths.

"If you were in charge of this magazine, could you do it even better?" Gu Yifan asked.

"Of course, these are child's play," Lin Wanyu nodded immediately, speaking with great confidence.

Gu Yifan smiled, "See, this is your strength. You are perfectly capable of handling this job as a fashion magazine editor."

"Really?" Lin Wanyu blinked as Gu Yifan smiled, her heart fluttering slightly.

"Otherwise, do you think you'd make so many basic mistakes?" Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Lin Wanyu seemed to be thinking, "So... my knowledge of those luxury goods is also one of my strengths?"

"Yes, so you can work towards that goal. With your sense of fashion trends, you might just become a fashion icon in the future."

Hearing Gu Yifan's cheesy praise, Lin Wanyu felt shy but regained some confidence. "What? Don't praise me like that, I'm a little uncomfortable."

However, Lin Wanyu did find some confidence. She picked up the magazine and muttered to herself, "I didn't expect an editor who made such a basic mistake to have a job."

Gu Yifan nodded, "This world is just a huge makeshift operation, all for fooling laymen."

"Pfft~ Gu Yifan, you're so clever." Lin Wanyu joked, "You're clearly younger than me, but you still act mature~ By the way, I just called you brother, no way, you're taking advantage of me~ Quickly call me sister Wanyu."

"not called."

"Hehe, he's even shy~" Lin Wanyu seemed to have discovered a new continent, and Gu Yifan's ears turned a little red.

Like a child who has received a precious toy, she curiously reached out her finger to touch Gu Yifan's earlobe.

"Stop fooling around." Gu Yifan instinctively dodged away.

As a result, Lin Wanyu pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

"What?" Gu Yifan asked in a muffled voice, his face pressed against Lin Wanyu's chest.

"Nothing~" Lin Wanyu said with a smile, "Thank you, Gu Yifan, I feel like I've regained my confidence."

As she spoke, Lin Wanyu suddenly lowered her head.
"?!!"

Lin Wanyu sat back on the sofa, her face flushed.

Gu Yifan swallowed hard and quickly got up to wipe his earlobes with a tissue.

"rogue."

Lin Wanyu chuckled happily, "Just a hooligan~ Just a hooligan!"

As she spoke, Lin Wanyu touched her lips with the tip of her tongue and playfully stuck out her tongue at Gu Yifan, "Hehehe~"

Gu Yifan's face darkened. He had no idea that his weakness was actually his earlobe!

"Don't run."

"Oh dear." Lin Wanyu feigned surprise and hugged her pillow, but looked at Gu Yifan with a smile, "I don't really care~ but Brother Yifan, are you really willing to punish your upset little sister Wanyu~"

The fairy is such a little fairy.

To be honest, Lin Wanyu was also shy, but seeing Gu Yifan's annoyance and reluctance to step forward, she became bolder.

After a moment, Miss Lin, who had been alluring, quieted down. She tilted her head and looked at the irritated Gu Yifan, and said softly.

"Gu Yifan~ You are the most important man to me besides my dad."

"Nonsense, how many boys have you even met?" Gu Yifan wasn't buying it.

But Lin Wanyu said something else.

"I've met many so-called young talents, but I'm not interested in them at all. I find them boring."

"..." Gu Yifan would be lying if he said he wasn't happy when he heard this.

"so what?"

Hearing Gu Yifan's slightly weaker tone, Lin Wanyu smiled and opened her arms, "So why don't you come and hug me?"

Gu Yifan: "."

There's just no way to deal with her.

"Want to sleep in my room tonight?" Gu Yifan asked, putting his arm around Lin Wanyu.

I thought Lin Wanyu would refuse, but to my surprise, she blinked and agreed.

"Good~"

Gu Yifan was somewhat surprised. Was Lin Meimei really not worried about him at all?

Gu Yifan didn't know whether he should repay Lin Wanyu's trust by being a paragon of virtue, or...
Seemingly noticing his surprise, Lin Wanyu tilted her head and said with a grin, "Anyway, when someone's relatives come, there's nothing you can do."

Gu Yifan's face darkened. Damn it, he'd forgotten about that.

Lin Wanyu smiled smugly, "Let's go, Xiao Fanzi, let's head back to the palace~ I'm sleepy."

Gu Yifan's embarrassed look is so cute!
After Gu Yifan carried Lin Wanyu to turn off the lights and returned to his room.

Lin Wanyu suddenly said, "Then tell me, should I apply for the editor position at this magazine?"

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes. "Teacher Zeng just told Judy to go home and rest. Are you trying to kill him?"

"Oh, right~ Hehe, I was just saying."

"Come quickly and serve me in bed, Xiao Fanzi!"

"I think your butt's itchy again, isn't it?"

"Brother Yifan~ I was wrong."
