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

Chapter 202: I only want to join, not destroy.

Ziqiao, along with Guangu, went to carry out a comprehensive revenge plan.

Gu Yifan declined the invitation to go together.

Wait for the two of them to leave.

Only Gu Yifan was left in 3602. Meijia had gone out shopping. Sometimes being a little silly is quite enviable; she's carefree.

Being idle is also idle.

Gu Yifan stretched, got up, and prepared to go to the hospital to see Xinling.

The caregiver asked Gu Yifan for leave a few days ago.

He said his wife had fallen off her bike and hurt her back, so he had to go back to take care of her.

Considering that Cyndi is almost fully recovered and can be discharged from the hospital at any time.

Gu Yifan simply settled the caregiver's wages and gave her an extra generous red envelope.

However, after the caregiver left, Xinling was alone in the hospital. Xinling is too soft-hearted and only reports good news, so Gu Yifan had to go and check on her.

I found a pastry shop and bought a few small cakes to share with Cyndi.

On the way, Gu Yifan received a text message.

It was sent by that little girl, Dali.

Ask him if he's free today and invite him to your home for dinner tonight.

Gu Yifan replied, "OK."

The one who replied to the message wasn't the little girl, but Zhuge Liang.

"What would you like to eat tonight? I'll cook."

Gu Yifan was taken aback.

An image of a gentle and beautiful woman softly asking questions floated into my mind, and I casually sent her a few home-style dishes that Zhuge Liang was good at.

The main issue is that Zhuge Dasheng's cooking skills are actually quite poor, only average. In the dream, Gu Yifan ended up cooking for him.

These dishes were barely acceptable.

After sending the message, Gu Yifan didn't pay much attention to it.

I carried the small cake back to the car and set off for the hospital.

Inside Zhuge Dasheng's villa.

"Mom, what did Yifan say?"

Wearing a floral dress, Dali couldn't wait to ask. With her head down, Zhuge Dasheng, who was somewhat dazed, suddenly woke up and smiled sweetly.

"Brother Yifan mentioned a few home-style dishes, but it seems we're out of groceries. Shall we go out and buy some?"

“Okay!” The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she obediently jumped off the sofa. “Then I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes.”

Wait until her daughter's figure disappeared down the stairs.

The smile on Zhuge Liang's face faded slightly.

With her head lowered and her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she looked again at the dishes Gu Yifan had posted on her phone.

The lingering memories resurfaced in my mind.

These dishes were the ones that Gu Yifan found barely acceptable after tasting them in his dream.

Her demeanor had changed from her previous strong, independent woman persona to that of a virtuous and gentle Zhuge Dasheng. She bit her lip lightly, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Is this a coincidence or not?

Zhuge Liang once doubted the dream, because it was too real, as if it had happened in a previous life.

Could it be that Gu Yifan also had the same dream?

Zhuge Liang's heart was racing a little; otherwise, how could he have just mentioned these dishes?

"Mom, I'm all better!"

Zhuge Dali's obedient voice interrupted Zhuge Dasheng's thoughts.

She hurriedly put away her phone.

Seeing her daughter skipping and jumping downstairs, clearly very happy, she smiled and took her daughter's hand.

"Let's go out and buy groceries then."

"Okay!" The little girl blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at her mother who was becoming more and more gentle.

When did Mom start to become more and more like a mother?

hospital.

When Gu Yifan arrived at the ward, he found the door locked.

I knocked on the door and waited a moment.

You can hear some rustling noises coming from the bathroom attached to the ward.

Wait patiently
Not long after, Xinling, her hair still dripping wet, hurriedly pushed open the door.

"elder brother!"

Upon seeing Gu Yifan standing at the door, Xinling's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.

Without thinking, she opened her arms and rushed into Gu Yifan's embrace.

The body is soft and has a light shampoo scent.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Gu Yifan's body stiffened.

Coach, I'm reporting her for charging with the ball!
Gu Yifan could clearly feel the sphere deforming as it moved.

Gu Yifan patted Xinling's arm, "Come see you, were you taking a shower just now?"

"No, I was just washing my hair." Xinling noticed that people were watching, and she took a step back shyly.

Seeing that Gu Yifan didn't speak, Xinling secretly looked up and found that his face was a little stiff.

Gu Yifan's gaze lingered on Xinling's loosely buttoned collar.

Cyndi is already several shades lighter than the average person, with fair and smooth skin that is exposed to the air.
Although Cyndi gained some weight during her recovery period.

But she was still very thin.

This actually made her already impressive figure stand out even more.

It's strange, she doesn't seem to have lost weight at all, but has actually become more plump.

Could it be that Cyndi Wang's daily nutrition is all absorbed by her breasts?
"Brother~"

Xinling noticed Gu Yifan's gaze, and feeling extremely shy, she hurriedly pulled Gu Yifan's hand and walked into the ward.

Gu Yifan casually closed the door, blocking the curious gazes from the corridor.

"I brought you some cakes and bread."

"Thanks, bro!"

Xinling said in a clear and sweet voice, her voice fading smoothly as she called him "brother".

She took the cake from Gu Yifan and placed it on the bedside table.

Xinling turned her head again, her gentle eyes falling on Gu Yifan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"what happened?"

"Where's Sister Wanyu? Why didn't she come?" Xinling had wanted to ask earlier.

The last few times Gu Yifan came to see Xinling, Lin Wanyu would also clamor to come along.

Believing in Cyndi Wang is one thing, but feeling jealous is another.

Cyndi learned that the two were officially together, and she was quite upset about it for a while.

Why didn't Sister Wanyu come with us today?
Gu Yifan casually said, "Wanyu went home."

"."

Xinling was taken aback, her face showing concern, as if she had misunderstood something. She bit her lip and asked with concern.

"Brother, did you and Sister Wanyu have a fight?"

"Huh?" Gu Yifan saw Xinling's concerned look and knew that Xinling had misunderstood. He shook his head and smiled.

"No, Wanyu is just going back to see her mother."

Cyndi was somewhat skeptical.

The two women talked a lot during the last typhoon night.

Xinling knew that Lin Wanyu had secretly run away to avoid a blind date.

Her father even offered a reward for her whereabouts, so how could she go home so easily?

Gu Yifan explained what had happened in the past few days, including Lin's father coming to his door.

After hearing this, Xinling nodded quietly, "That's good." She felt both happy and a little disappointed.

She's happy because Cyndi Wang genuinely hopes that her brother can find happiness.

She was happy as long as he was happy.

Even knowing that Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu's separation would give her an "opportunity," she didn't want Gu Yifan to be sad because of their breakup.

The disappointment goes without saying.

Seeing that Xinling's hair was still dripping wet, Gu Yifan took the towel from her hand and gestured for her to turn around.

I'm going to fulfill my duty as the 'older brother' and help Cyndi wipe her hair.

Cyndi did not obediently listen.

Instead, she boldly stepped forward, snuggling close to Gu Yifan, wrapping her arms around him, and pressing her face against his chest, saying, "This is so nice to wipe, brother."

Her slightly flushed, fair face showed a hint of anticipation.

Gu Yifan smiled and silently accepted Xinling's affection.

The expectation turned into happiness.

Xinling squinted her eyes, enjoying herself like a kitten, with a satisfied look on her face.

It's already a great thing that Gu Yifan came to see her, isn't it?

Moreover, she will be discharged from the hospital soon, and now that Sister Wanyu is gone, her chance to repay her kindness has come.

Thinking about it this way, Xinling actually felt a little happier.

"Isn't there a hair dryer in the ward?"

Gu Yifan dried Xinling's wet hair until it was half dry, but it would take some time for it to dry completely.

I was looking for a hair dryer but couldn't find it, so I asked in confusion.

“It’s okay in the summer, it dries quickly.” Xinling shook her head.

Gu Yifan: "Where's the hairdryer? Is it broken?"

"Mm," Xinling nodded, then lied, "I haven't gone to buy it yet."

Unfortunately, such a little trick could not fool Gu Yifan.

"Was it because you didn't have time, or to save money?" Gu Yifan asked with a half-smile.

Xinling blushed and fell silent.

She didn't have much money on her to begin with.

Gu Yifan gave her a bank card, but Xinling kept it without touching it.

"School's about to start, it's not too late to buy it after school starts," Xinling said softly, holding Gu Yifan's big hand.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "How about we go for a walk in the garden downstairs?"

The weather wasn't too hot today, and the afternoon sun was just right, so I went for a walk and it dried in no time.

Xinling naturally wouldn't refuse, nodding, "Mmm~"

His obedient and well-behaved appearance made Gu Yifan smile.

No wonder Nuolan always wanted to find her obedient and sensible 'younger brother' from before.

She went out with the cake that Gu Yifan had bought.

along the way.

Xinling secretly stared at Gu Yifan's arm, wanting to reach out and hug him several times.

But I was always interrupted by greetings.

"Hey, Cindy, going out with your brother?" "Yeah~ My brother came to see me and brought me a cake~"

Cyndi greeted everyone with a smile.

Whether it's doctors, nurses, patients, or their families, everyone seems to know her very well.

While waiting for the elevator in the hallway, Gu Yifan asked, puzzled, "Why do they all seem to know you so well?"

Xinling blinked her pure, beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly.

"I've almost recovered, and I've been idle these past few days. I noticed the doctors and nurses are very busy, so I thought I'd help out."

"help?"

Seeing Gu Yifan frown, Xinling quickly explained, "It's just helping to fetch water, deliver something, mop the floor, or something like that. It's very easy."

"The doctor also said that appropriate exercise is good for my recovery."

As she spoke, Xinling secretly glanced at Gu Yifan, as if worried that she would be scolded.

Gu Yifan smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? If you're willing to help, then help. It's a good thing."

Xinling is indeed a kind and understanding girl. These doctors and nurses treat her very well, so Xinling will do what she can to repay them.

The smiles on their faces the moment they saw Xinling showed how much they liked her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the two to chat.

Xinling boldly reached out and quickly took Gu Yifan's arm.
"Ding~"

"Brother, the elevator has arrived," Xinling said quickly.

This girl, if she wants to put her arm around someone's arm, she should just do it. Instead, this attempt to cover it up is both cute and funny.

There is a small garden behind the hospital, which is specifically for patients to relax and unwind.

Walking along the corridor covered by ivy vines, the sunlight overhead is well blocked, providing a bit more shade.

In the afternoon, there were very few people, probably because the patients were taking a nap.

Cyndi Wang appeared full of energy; she could feel her body gradually improving, and her spirits were high.

Xinling attributed all the credit to Gu Yifan.

Her life was originally like that of a weed in the dark cracks of a wall by the roadside.

Because of Gu Yifan's appearance, the sunlight was able to shine on me, who should have been forgotten by the world, and I was able to grow tenaciously.

A blade of grass like her should know how to be grateful.

Xinling thought to herself, clinging to Gu Yifan's arm.

The two chatted as they walked.

Gu Yifan mentioned that Tongji University has a famous cherry blossom avenue, and that he would visit it when Xinling enrolls.

Cyndi nodded obediently and said okay.

Most of the time, it was Gu Yifan who was speaking.

The girl stared at him with her soft, delicate eyes, without blinking.

Focused and meticulous.

Like a younger sister who idolizes her older brother, in Xinling's eyes, there is no one in the world more amazing than Gu Yifan.

The two shared the cake, and Xinling felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

When Xinling became a little sleepy, Gu Yifan let her rest her head on his lap on the bench for a while.

Sunlight filtered through the vines and fell warmly on her body. Xinling lay on her side on Gu Yifan's lap, inhaling his scent.

It was sunshine, bellflowers, and a light fragrance that gave you a strong sense of security.

Even after many years, Cyndi Wang will never forget that afternoon in the hospital garden.

That little world was a treasured memory of peaceful times, unique to her.

It's about six o'clock in the afternoon.

Xinling slowly woke up from her deep sleep, her beautiful eyes still sleepy and somewhat bewildered.

This was the most relaxing and comfortable sleep Xinling had ever had; she didn't dream at all.

Xinling was somewhat dazed.

Until she saw Gu Yifan's profile as he read a book, that face, almost imprinted in Xinling's heart, felt incredibly real and close at hand.

Xinling's heart has settled down.

My heart couldn't help but leap with joy.

Unbelievable, she really did spend the whole afternoon alone with Yifan!

"woke up?"

Gu Yifan noticed that Xinling had opened her eyes and put down the romance novel he had brought for her.

Surprisingly, it was pretty good. It didn't have the tragic ending typical of this era; it was sweet all the way to the end.

"Ah."

Xinling blinked her long eyelashes, met Gu Yifan's gaze, and her face quickly flushed red.

This angle really looks like a lover's perspective.

Looking at Gu Yifan's lips, Xinling couldn't help but have some extravagant thoughts.

I wish we could kiss.

"Then get up, your legs are numb."

"."

Xinling was startled, her delicate face flushed red, and she hurriedly tried to get up, but almost tumbled over Gu Yifan's lap.

Fortunately, Gu Yifan grabbed her arm in time and pulled her up, saying, "Be careful."

Leaning against Gu Yifan, Xinling said apologetically, "Brother, let me rub it for you."

As she spoke, Xinling placed her small hand on Gu Yifan's leg.

"Wait a minute." Gu Yifan's expression changed.

"what?"

Xinling looked at him innocently.

"It's really numb."

Gu Yifan grinned.

"Pfft~" Xinling laughed. At that moment, she felt that the world was so beautiful.

Xinling tilted her head and looked at Gu Yifan.

Since his legs are numb, doesn't that mean Gu Yifan can do whatever he wants to her now?

A bold idea popped into my head and began to spread.
"elder brother"

Gu Yifan was grimacing and rubbing his numb thigh.

Hearing Xinling's voice, he looked up.

But then the girl stood up at some point, rubbing her small hands, and slowly approached.

Take the enemy by surprise.

Xinling quickly lowered her head and lightly touched Gu Yifan's lips with a kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The sudden attack caught Gu Yifan completely off guard.

"Thank you for spending the afternoon with me, brother. This is my reward. I'll head back now."

Watching the shy girl finish speaking in a whisper, then turn and run away into the distance.

Gu Yifan was stunned, then smiled faintly.

No, why do these girls always like to launch surprise attacks?

7 p.m.

Gu Yifan left the hospital, intending to have dinner at Zhuge Dasheng's place.

When he returned to the ward, Xinling was no longer so shy, and neither of them mentioned the kiss from earlier.

Xinling told Gu Yifan that she could be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, and Gu Yifan agreed to come and pick her up then.

As for whether Cyndi will live at school or continue renting an apartment outside, we'll see when the time comes.

Although Xinling was a little reluctant, she still obediently saw Gu Yifan off.

In the ward.

With Gu Yifan gone, Xinling was left all alone, and she inevitably felt a little lonely.

However, with Gu Yifan's promise to pick her up the day after tomorrow, Xinling has already started looking forward to it.

Simultaneously
"Should we live on campus or rent a place outside?"

After a moment's hesitation, Cyndi quickly made a decision.

"Let's rent a place outside."

Even if she had to use the money Gu Yifan gave her, Xinling wanted to rent a place to live outside.

Only in this way would she have a chance to let her brother stay overnight.
Xinling felt a stirring in her heart.

If she doesn't seize the opportunity of Wanyu's departure, when will she be able to join this family?

"Cyndi, keep going! You want to join your brother and sister Wanyu's family, not destroy it. Believe in yourself. You can do it."

the other side.

The aroma of stir-fried dishes wafted from the living room of Zhuge Liang's home.

In the kitchen.

Zhuge Dasheng wore a light yellow, thin knit sweater, an apron, and jeans that accentuated his beautiful curves and voluptuous legs.

It showcases the intellect and beauty of a young woman, while also conveying a sense of relaxed domesticity.

There's one more dish, and then all the dishes for tonight's meal are ready.

Zhuge Dasheng's mind was somewhat adrift. He glanced at his silent phone several times, biting his lip.

I don't know when he'll arrive.

Just as Zhuge Dasheng was somewhat lost in thought, he suddenly heard a ding-dong sound coming from the living room.

The daughter ran to open the door with quick, light footsteps.

"Brother Yifan, you've come!"

Hearing her daughter's excited voice, a hint of surprise flashed across the beautiful woman's face. Forgetting about the last dish she hadn't cooked yet, she turned off the gas stove, turned around, and hurried out.

I hesitated for a moment.

He patted his cheeks, which were tense from nervousness.

Villa living room.

Gu Yifan carried two bottles of red wine in his left hand and a cake and snacks in his right.

"These are for Dali."

Gu Yifan handed the snacks to the happy little girl.

"Thank you, Brother Yifan~"

The little girl happily accepted it; her mother usually doesn't let her eat snacks, saying they're unhealthy.

I didn't expect Brother Yifan to buy so much, I'm so happy!
Gu Yifan smiled and ruffled the little girl's hair, then glanced at the living room. "Where's your mother?"

At this moment, Zhuge Liang, having composed himself, gracefully emerged from the kitchen with a smile.

"coming?"

"."

Upon hearing the word "You're here," Gu Yifan felt a little dazed, as if he were seeing again the gentle and virtuous "mother of my children" from his dreams, welcoming him home from get off work.

Zhuge Dasheng's casual attire perfectly accentuated her voluptuous and beautiful figure.
Fortunately, Gu Yifan was only momentarily dazed before regaining his senses and giving Zhuge Dasheng a gentle smile.

"Yes, we're a little late."

"It's not too late, there's only one more dish left. Please have a seat." Zhuge Dasheng's tone was very gentle.

Gu Yifan's arrival added a touch of homey warmth to the spacious villa.
