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

Chapter 178 A Certain Young Lady of Versailles
Monday was a beautiful, sunny day with a gentle breeze.

At least that's what Zeng Xiaoxian thinks; it's not that he's gone crazy being a wage earner.

Wednesday will be the most important moment of his life!
He will be making his first appearance on television.

Despite her busy schedule, Lisa informed Zeng Xiaoxian of his audition on Wednesday afternoon.

Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't contain his excitement and got up early in the morning to come to 3601 to share the good news.

Suite 3601.

"Teacher Zeng, I heard you went to the hospital to see Lisa yesterday. How is Ziqiao?" Gu Yifan leaned back on the sofa and asked Zeng Xiaoxian, who was happily walking to the refrigerator to look for milk.

I haven't visited Ziqiao for the past few days. I wonder if he's experiencing both pain and joy right now.

Gu Yifan felt no guilt about having tricked Ziqiao; he considered it as atonement for his ruthless act of drawing his gun.

Zeng Xiaoxian, carrying the milk, walked back to the living room humming a self-composed children's song.

"The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me, the birds chirp 'Good morning, good morning'—you're about to become a TV star!"

"Ziqiao? Not bad~ I think he's accepted his fate, he looks radiant." Zeng Xiaoxian felt no remorse for betraying Ziqiao.

"Teacher Zeng, how are your preparations going? Are you confident you can pass the audition?" Wanyu asked in a lazy tone.

Lin Wanyu, who also got up early, was still half asleep.

She lay on Gu Yifan's body with her delicate little feet curled up, like a kitten perched on its owner's body.

Enjoy Gu Yifan's loving caresses.

Zeng Xiaoxian felt a pang of jealousy as he watched the two of them start their day by showering each other with affection. He gulped down half a glass of milk and paused for a moment.

"belch--!"

"I have already memorized the speech. With my years of experience as a host, I think there will be no problem at all."

Lin Wanyu was amused by Teacher Zeng's long and loud burp, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Then I'd like to congratulate you in advance on becoming a TV host."

Gu Yifan ran his fingers through Wan Yu's hair, gently scratching it, strands of hair falling through his fingers. "Wan Yu, if you're still sleepy, go back and catch up on some sleep."

"That won't do." Lin Wanyu pouted, turned to the side, opened her arms and hugged Gu Yifan's shoulders, rubbing her face against his chest. "I have to keep an eye on you, otherwise you'll be gone again when I wake up."

"I'm going to be your shadow!"

"vomit"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked disgusted, with an expression that said, "You two are enough."

"Don't you two get tired of each other?"

Gu Yifan said seriously, "Teacher Zeng, you don't understand. Before I was in a relationship, I also thought it was too cloying, but now—I only drink imported milk tea."

"Ugh, what you're saying is really disgusting," Lin Wanyu said shyly.

Zeng Xiaoxian's expression darkened further. He hesitated for a moment, then put down his cup with a grumpy expression, crossed his legs, and raised his voice, "Where's Yifei? Come out quickly and share this good news with us!"

"Zhanbo finally got a day off today, Teacher Zeng, please keep your voice down," Gu Yifan reminded him. "Sister Yifei went downstairs to buy groceries, saying she's going to cook a big meal for Zhanbo at noon to reward him."

"What! Yifei is going to cook?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked in horror.

"Hehe, Teacher Zeng, your expression looks like you're about to be tortured, not about eating," Lin Wanyu said with a grin.

"Then I'll head out first." Zeng Xiaoxian would rather abandon his male pride and flee than eat Hu Yifei's 'feast'.

"Don't worry, Teacher Zeng, it's not Sister Yifei who's doing it, it's me," Gu Yifan said slowly, waiting until Zeng Xiaoxian was almost at the door.

"You cook?" Zeng Xiaoxian stopped in his tracks, half believing and half doubting.

He heard from Wanyu and Yifei that Gu Yifan had shown off his skills a few days ago and they were pretty good.

"kindness."

Wan Yu's daily routine also includes wanting to eat the food Gu Yifan cooks.

Gu Yifan simply volunteered, and Hu Yifei reluctantly agreed. At least it seemed like a reluctant decision, but she was quite fast at carrying bags and going down to buy groceries.

Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head and sighed dramatically.

"Hu Yifei treats the kitchen like a battlefield. If you go over while she's cooking, you'll be seen as an intruder and killed without mercy. Yifan, what did you tell her?"

"She didn't say much, just that I would cook this meal, and Sister Yifei hesitated for a moment before agreeing."

Seeing Gu Yifan's innocent expression, Zeng Xiaoxian felt that the world was full of malice towards him.

Zeng Xiaoxian: God, Heavens above, I refuse to accept this! Why?!

"We're both male animals, so why can Gu Yifan live peacefully in 3601 while I can't? Is it because he's handsome? Because he's Hu Yifei's student? Because he's a good cook?"

A voice drifted from the sky: "Silly child, you already know, why ask?"

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Zeng Xiaoxian, his face contorted in rage, fell into a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in death!

Zeng Xiaoxian comforted himself: "Never mind, Fan is a newbie. Newbies usually have a protection period."

"By the way, Teacher Zeng, I suggest you think of a way to train your camera presence in the next couple of days," Gu Yifan reminded Zeng Xiaoxian, remembering something.

He had originally intended to say this to Teacher Zeng a few days ago, but he had been too busy and hadn't found the opportunity.

"Camera presence?" Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback, then dismissed it, "Are you kidding? How could I, Brother Xian, not have a camera presence?"

"Yes, there isn't."

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback. Wait, why is Xiaofan undermining me?

Gu Yifan spread his hands, and a series of questions rained down on Zeng Xiaoxian's face.

"Teacher Zeng, you face a microphone every day, and nobody cares if you pick your nose while livestreaming."

Zeng Xiaoxian blushed, hesitated, and couldn't refute.

Gu Yifan then used a tornado to destroy Teacher Zeng's confidence.

"But when you're on TV, won't you get nervous in front of the camera? Especially in an unfamiliar environment with a bunch of staff around you, are you sure you won't get stage fright?"

"The TV cameras will switch between different shots. Can you find one and aim at it immediately? And..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zeng Xiaoxian quickly called for a halt.

After Gu Yifan said that, he also felt a little uneasy.

"What should I do? There are only two days left until the audition. How can I train my camera presence?"

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's nervous expression, Gu Yifan, having achieved his goal, turned to comfort Zeng Xiaoxian, "Don't worry, Teacher Zeng, there's enough time. You can find a photography studio in the next couple of days and imitate a TV program studio, right?"

"As for the cameras, find a few more. Also, a few of us can temporarily impersonate the staff, so you'll have some idea of ​​what to do and won't be caught off guard."

“That’s right!” Zeng Xiaoxian’s eyes lit up. “Yifan, you’re so thoughtful.”

“That’s right~ My Yifan is the best.” Lin Wanyu also felt proud and gave Gu Yifan a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't worry, Teacher Zeng, Gu Yifan and I will help you, as well as Feifei and Zhanbo!"

"Hu Yifei? Forget about her. I think she'd be even more nervous if she were here," Zeng Xiaoxian immediately rejected the suggestion.

at this time.

"Click——"

The door was pushed open, and Hu Yifei's voice rang out, "I think I heard some bitch say my name?"

"Zeng Xiaoxian? What are you doing in our suite?"

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian acting like a mouse before a cat the moment he sees Yifei, Gu Yifan whispered to Lin Wanyu, "Teacher Zeng, shouldn't you be speaking ill of people behind their backs? Every time you say something bad about Yifei, she immediately appears."

"Pfft." Lin Wanyu couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you talking about?" Ms. Hu walked in carrying large and small bags.

"It's nothing~ We were just talking about Teacher Zeng's audition on Wednesday." Lin Wanyu immediately stood up and went to help take the bag. "Wow, Yifei, you bought so much food! Can we finish it all?"

Hu Yifei said irritably, "Are you stupid? Of course it's not enough for one meal, it's enough for three days. Otherwise, I'd be exhausted from going grocery shopping every day."

"Hehe, Yifan and I can go grocery shopping too~" Lin Wanyu gradually started calling Gu Yifan "Yifan" as well, but it sounded more intimate.

"Yes, I know you two are conjoined twins." Hu Yifei looked at Lin Wanyu with affection, then turned to Gu Yifan, "Lunch is in your hands today."

"Don't worry, Sister Yifei." Gu Yifan picked up the recipe on the table, which he had bought when he brought Xinling a book last time.

Yesterday, Gu Yifan earned five skill points by completing Xinling's daily task, "Call her."

It has to be said that Cyndi Wang really performs consistently well, making her an excellent choice for completing daily tasks and earning rebates.

Gu Yifan was initially surprised by the system's generosity, but then he discovered that these were 'life skills points,' which could only be used to upgrade skills like alchemy, spiritual food, nurturing, and pet taming.

Each dish in this cookbook is considered a spiritual food with special effects. Learning a dish requires a skill point, but you can infuse it with spiritual power to add some special effects.

Gu Yifan decided to try it later.

"Well then, I'll entrust you with my care. Xiao Fan, don't let me down."

Hu Yifei affectionately pinched Gu Yifan's cheek, but he dodged away slightly.

Is it because his skin is much better than the average person's, without any blemishes?

Why do all the girls around me love touching his face when his skin is the same all over his body? Why don't they love touching other parts of his body?

Gu Yifan felt a little regretful. Last night, he had held Wan Yu in his arms and even measured the size of her breasts with his hands.

Not too big, not too small, just the right size.

Guang Wanyu's touch is already great, but what about Xinling's?

Zeng Xiaoxian watched as Hu Yifei, that 'old lecher,' flirted with Gu Yifan.

Suddenly, I imagined a scene of Xiao Gu enduring humiliation and hardship, struggling to survive under the clutches of Hu Yifei, the "Great Demon King" of 3601.

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes immediately showed a hint of pity.

pitiful
"Hey Zeng Xiaoxian, why is your parking space taken again?" Hu Yifei watched Gu Yifan carry large bags and small packages to the kitchen, then clapped her hands and sat down on the sofa.

"You must be having a really tough time as the vice chairman of the residents' committee."

Although Ms. Hu often teases Zeng Xiaoxian, most of it is just playful banter between friends, and she is still very protective of her friends.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian looked annoyed. "I've already gone to the committee to find out. It's a new guy who moved in. I went to his place yesterday, but he wasn't home."

"So you're just going to let this guy keep taking your parking spot?" Hu Yifei said, exasperated. "Just lock his car! Make him beg you to unlock it!"

"What's wrong, Feifei?" Wanyu asked curiously as she took an orange out of the fruit basket and peeled it.

Hu Yifei briefly explained that Zeng Xiaoxian's parking space had been occupied by a Land Rover in the past few days.

"I think he just thinks you're a beat-up old Xiali and easy to bully."

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled awkwardly, "Yifei, don't think too badly of him. Maybe he just thought he could park anywhere since he just moved in. I'll go talk to him later, maybe he'll apologize to me."

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes. She couldn't stand Zeng Xiaoxian's kind-hearted nature and his tendency to always be bullied.

At this moment, Gu Yifan walked over and placed a plate of washed cherry tomatoes on the coffee table.

“I think Sister Yifei is right, Teacher Zeng. Kind people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden. You can’t let people ride on your head.”

Seeing that Gu Yifan agreed with her idea, Hu Yifei immediately said loudly, "That's right, let's learn from Yifan."

"Okay, okay, stop rushing me. I'll go talk to him right now."

Zeng Xiaoxian was caught in a dilemma, so he simply stood up and said.

"Go on, stand up like a man!" Hu Yifei was finally satisfied. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need," Zeng Xiaoxian quickly waved his hand. "I can do it myself."

As he spoke, Zeng Xiaoxian ran out the door.

Hu Yifei's presence only made things worse. As everyone knows, Ms. Hu not only looks down on weaklings, but also has a tendency to resent the rich.

Of course, she looked down on those guys who thought they were awesome just because they had a little money.

From this perspective, Yifei has a lot of the spirit of Liangshan Marsh, who robbed people to help the poor. If she lived in ancient times, she might have been a female general like Liang Hongyu.

Gu Yifan shrugged and didn't take it seriously. Just as Zeng Xiaoxian ran out the door, Meijia and Guangu also walked in from the doorway.

"Sister Yifei~ Guangu and I came to help. Hey, why did Teacher Zeng leave?"

Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow and looked at Hu Yifei.

Ms. Hu said somewhat guiltily, "I just happened to run into Meijia when I went out to buy groceries."

"So you asked Meijia to bring Guangu along for dinner?" Gu Yifan's forehead creased with annoyance.

"I'm so sorry, Yifan, I've troubled you." Chen Meijia said, winking pitifully.

Guan Gu quickly picked up the bag in his hand, saying, "I brought fresh salmon."

"Oh, salmon?" Hu Yifei exclaimed in surprise. "Meijia, you bought this?"

"No, no," Guan Gu shook his head. "I went to discuss a collaboration with the publishing house this morning, and this salmon was brought to me personally by the publishing house president!"

Mika nodded, pouting cutely, and said adorably, "And it's even the manga publisher that publishes Doraemon comics~!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up as she stopped. "I love Pikachu the most, and Ash too!"

Guan Gu: "."

"That's a Pokémon, right?"

“Doraemon is Nobita.” Gu Yifan also laughed, affectionately rubbing Wanyu’s embarrassed little head.

"Congratulations, Guan Gu. By the way, I also have an idea I'd like to ask you about."

"What are your thoughts? Please speak." Guan Gu nodded awkwardly and asked.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you could adapt the plot of the novel into a comic, Guan Gu," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"Oh? Gu Jun also wants to enter the comic book industry?" Guan Gu asked curiously.

"Well, to be precise, it's the animation and gaming industry," Gu Yifan said.

"I see. Actually, it's quite difficult. Drawing comics isn't a particularly simple thing." Guan Gu understood, assuming that Gu Yifan was a newcomer who was curious about the comic industry, and hesitated before speaking.

“I understand, but I think my idea is pretty good. No rush, I’ll write out some opening paragraphs later and let Guan Gu take a look.”

Gu Yifan smiled and said that Guan Gu actually draws shoujo manga, so it's not a particularly good match.

His real favorite is the comic artist who will collaborate with Zhiyin Comics to adapt the novel "Douluo Dalu" by the author San Shao, and that artist is also from Shanghai.

Alternatively, you could find other comic artists to help adapt it.

The challenge lies in replicating a single person.

The two chatted.

Meijia sat down on the sofa, and the three best friends started chatting.

"By the way, Sister Yifei, have you seen that Mercedes-Benz in the parking space next to the community?" Meijia asked excitedly.

Although Shanghai is full of luxury cars, they are not for ordinary people. At least with Meijia's current monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, it would take her 30 years to afford one.

Ms. Hu also looked excited, "Of course I saw it. It doesn't have license plates yet, it looks like a brand new car."

"The car owner must be a rich tycoon, and it would be even better if he were a handsome guy," Meijia thought with sparkling eyes.

"When did our neighborhood have such a wealthy guy? I've never noticed before," Ms. Hu sighed, increasingly eager to find a partner.

Hearing this, Wanyu asked curiously, "How much does this car you're talking about cost?"

Hu Yifei frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems to be over a million."

"US dollars?" Lin Wanyu tilted her head and clicked her tongue. "That's really expensive."

“Of course it’s RMB, my dear lady.” Hu Yifei’s voice froze, and she said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh, a car worth just over a million is considered a luxury car?" Wan Yu blinked innocently, noting that all of her father's cars seemed to be more expensive than this one.

No, it should be that even the car her nanny uses to go grocery shopping is more expensive than this.

Faced with Miss Lin from Versailles, Yifei and Meijia really couldn't refute her.

Gu Yifan was initially quite pleased with himself, but upon hearing this, his smugness subsided.

One should never be too complacent.

There's always a higher mountain than another.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "That's right, even the car driven by Wan Yu's father's bodyguard is more expensive than the cars in the neighborhood."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Ms. Hu asked curiously.

While tidying up the lunch, Gu Yifan gave a brief account of the dangerous taxi ride.

If that Maybach 62s were parked in the residential area, wouldn't it be like a super patriarch descending from the mountains to suppress a group of juniors?

Luxury cars worth tens of millions, wow.

"There's such a thing? How come I didn't know?" Lin Wanyu said in surprise.

"You were sleeping at the time. You should thank that taxi driver. He sped up and left your dad's bodyguard behind."

Gu Yifan shrugged and said, "This shows that even with a good car, you still need good driving skills."

Lin Wanyu seemed thoughtful. "It seems like there is such a thing. I remember my dad mentioning it, saying that it was just sitting here and no one had opened it. I didn't know it was so expensive."

Well, Miss Lin is the real conversation killer.

Now both Fei and Meijia have lost their fascination with luxury cars.

"By the way, Yifan, weren't you planning to buy a car? Did you buy it?" Hu Yifei asked with interest.

"Yes, I bought it." Gu Yifan nodded.

"What kind of car? Let me ride in it later." Hu Yifei's eyes lit up, as if she had something on her mind.

Zhanbo got his driver's license a while ago, but he's never driven a car. Should I buy him a car later?
Gu Yifan smiled and said, "No problem. As for what kind of car it is, you'll know when you see it, Sister Yifei."

"Tch, are you trying to keep me in suspense?" Hu Yifei said irritably.

"Teacher Zeng is going to find a photography studio this afternoon, let's go together then."

"Okay, then I'll check again this afternoon. When will the food be ready?"

"I haven't even started cooking yet."
