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

Chapter 210 An indestructible body, impervious to swords and spears
"Young lady, please don't make things difficult for this old man. Otherwise, how about I reduce the deposit?"

Huang Huifeng said, somewhat awkwardly.

Gu Yifan immediately made the decision, "Let's go with this one."

Master Huang has already done more than enough by offering a discount of 500 yuan.

This rent is already relatively low, so there's no reason to ask them to lower the price further.

Of course, it's perfectly reasonable for Cyndi to want to test the waters and negotiate a lower price.

Gu Yifan was worried that if Master Huang really lowered the price, he would lose money.

Huang Huifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Young man, you're so straightforward!"

"How long do you plan to rent it?"

"At least a year," Gu Yifan replied.

A year later, we can ask Cyndi to move to a better house, or even just buy one.

"No problem, no problem~" Huang Huifeng nodded, "So, is the rent paid in full at once or every six months?"

"If it's difficult, once a month is fine too."

Master Huang is indeed kind-hearted.

"Let's pay for a year," Gu Yifan said with a smile. "Paying every month is too much trouble."

Master Huang's eyes lit up. "Great! Of course, great. How about this, I won't charge you a deposit. How about you pay for a year at once?"

Xinling had no objection to renting the apartment, but upon hearing that it would be paid for the whole year, she couldn't help but tug at Gu Yifan's arm, "Brother..."

Gu Yifan gestured to Master Huang to prepare the rental contract first, and then he and Xinling walked to the side.

“If you pay for a year, it will cost more than 60,000 yuan,” Xinling said softly with concern.

Even with the 50,000 yuan that Gu Yifan gave her in her card, it still wouldn't be enough.

Xinling was worried, but Gu Yifan said he would pay her rent.

Although she already owed Gu Yifan a lot, so much that she could hardly pay it back, Xinling still wanted to owe as little as possible.
Gu Yifan had already prepared an excuse and answered with a smile.

"Money doesn't matter. Xinling, you've recovered now. Do you remember what I said about starting a company?"

Xinling nodded blankly, not understanding the connection between the two things.

However, as long as she sticks to one principle—that is, she can't let Yifan spend any more money on her—it will be fine.

"I remember." Xinling nodded.

"Then do you want to come and help me?" Gu Yifan asked again.

"Of course I want to." Xinling's eyes lit up slightly, but she still didn't understand what Gu Yifan meant.

"Since you're willing to come to my company, then you're my employee."

Gu Yifan gave the answer, "I'll give you a subsidy of 2,500 yuan per month as a rent allowance. That should be enough, right?"

Xinling then understood what Gu Yifan meant.

Sure enough! She took it all as Gu Yifan's excuse and instinctively shook her head, "Brother, I don't want to. I can help you without spending a single penny."

"What a stupid thing to say."

Gu Yifan also knew that Xinling, despite her seemingly obedient nature, was actually a stubborn girl, and explained.

"This isn't just employee benefits for you. Other employees also receive meal allowances, housing allowances, and other benefits. The company can't only have you as an employee, can it?"

Master Gu wants to be a generous gentleman.

Xinling was a little shy, but she still firmly shook her head, "Then I don't want it either."

"You don't want the salary either?" Gu Yifan retorted.

To everyone's surprise, Xinling nodded and said softly, "Brother, you've already paid my salary."

"It's already settled?"

Gu Yifan looked at Xinling. The girl's pretty face was slightly red, and she covered her chest with one hand, trying to suppress the ripples in her eyes.

"I don't want a salary." Xinling's voice was soft, but her tone was firm.

"Really not?"

"I really don't want it."

"How will you live without a salary?"

“I can take on a second job after get off work,” Xinling answered without hesitation.

It seems like they had planned this out long ago.

Gu Yifan nodded and asked curiously, "What if I ask you to stay and work overtime?"

"Then I'll ask for leave for my second job," Xinling said firmly.

Gu Yifan laughed, "What if I need you at the company for twenty hours a day?"

"Brother~" Xinling pouted, looking at Gu Yifan with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

She didn't believe Gu Yifan would use her like that.

"What's wrong with that? It's free anyway, and it's fine to just keep it around for aesthetic purposes," Gu Yifan said matter-of-factly.

"Who says going to work means you have to work? Listening to your boss is also part of the job."

Well, Gu Yifan isn't even a boss yet, and he's already enjoying having his secretary do all the work when needed, and nothing else...
Ahem, time for some tea and casual conversation.

Xinling was speechless for a moment.

"Besides, you've already called me brother and said you'd follow me for life. Thirty thousand yuan can't buy your whole life." Gu Yifan raised his hand and placed it on Xinling's shoulder.

Cyndi felt a little sore in her nose.

No, you can't cry. These are just excuses Gu Yifan made up to try and pay for her. Wake up!
Cyndi still had tears in her eyes.

Gu Yifan wiped away Xinling's tears with his fingers, half-jokingly and half-seriously speaking.

"Brother doesn't need your money. If you want to help me, learn more professional knowledge, work hard to grow, and become my good helper. That's how you help me, not by saving such a small amount of money."

"It's not a small amount, it's tens of thousands," Xinling said sullenly.
"Don't argue with your brother."

Upon hearing this, Xinling fell silent and stood obediently, looking pitiful.

"Listen to me, since you're an employee, you still have to collect your wages."

“If you really go out to work part-time and get seen, how will I save face? If word gets out, people will say I'm abusing my sister.”

Gu Yifan's speech experience card was not wasted.

Xinling's expression finally softened, and she stopped insisting, mainly because she was moved by Gu Yifan's words, "become his good wife."

A virtuous wife, huh?

So, as long as she can help Yifan make money, and earn more than he spends on her, is that enough?

Silly Xinling, you're still too naive. Gu Yifan is just laying the groundwork for spending money on her in the future.

Gu Yifan then agreed that six months after the company officially started operating, he would begin deducting a portion of Xinling's salary to repay the money she owed.

Honestly, sometimes Gu Yifan even felt that this was really inhuman.

Who can blame Cyndi for being so stubborn and persistent?

Well, let him suffer this kind of heartless thing alone.

Once everything is agreed upon.

Gu Yifan glanced at the contract; there were no problems.

The only requirements are that no pets be kept and no damage to household appliances be made.

Of course, it wasn't caused by human error. Mr. Huang will come to repair it, and in the end, he'll have to pay the property management fee. There aren't any other clauses.

The furnishings and other items in the house can be changed at will.

Seeing that there were no problems, Gu Yifan signed the contract.

As for money...

Gu Yifan happened to have 100,000 yuan in cash inside the red rope, for emergencies.

At this time, mobile payment had not yet emerged, and cash was the most commonly used payment method, followed by credit cards.

He paid Huang Huifeng 70,000 yuan directly, plus 4,000 yuan for property management fees, and then waived the change with a wave of his hand.

"Master Huang is tall, Master Huang is strong, Master Huang is both tall and strong!" Gu Yifan clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Not at all," Huang Hui and Feng Zhen said, picking up the cup. "This little bit of money is nothing to this old man."

Gu Yifan was marveling at how hard it was to find such a great landlord.

"Oh right, the money for that liniment." The next second, Huang Huifeng's righteous demeanor vanished, replaced by a look of pure desire for money.

"."

Thank you too early, damn it.

Master Huang should be swept into the dustbin of history.

A small incident occurred when I went to the car to get cash.

"Is this your car?"

Huang Huifeng's face turned green when he saw Gu Yifan's brand-new Mercedes-Benz S350.

I was just thinking how tough it must be for two young people, but who knew he was even riding a tricycle? This kid's already got such a nice vehicle.

Gu Yifan smiled without saying a word; Lin's father's Maybach was still parked downstairs at the apartment building.

"Hey, it's a brand new car, Master Huang, would you like to take it for a test drive?"

Huang Huifeng: Damn, I've been tricked by this kid again.

"Young Gu, I think the rent is a bit too low. Shall we discuss it again?"

"You already own twenty houses, and you're still going back on your word?"

"Never mind, I'll go pick one up tomorrow. Do you have the salesperson's contact information?"

"Have."

"Ahem, male or female sales representative? Pretty, isn't she?"

"Male salesperson."

"Never mind then, I'm used to pedaling a tricycle."

You found a suitable place for your beloved Xinling to stay, and unexpectedly learned that the owner of this secluded place was actually the fortune teller you had met once before.

The reclusive fortune teller living by the sea also has a deep impression of you and the beautiful Xinling, whom he met once before. Perhaps more quests will be triggered later.

[You have received a bottle of Nourishing Essence and Replenishing Qi Pill from the Divine Calculator. Taking it will greatly enhance your physical condition! It is a rare and miraculous elixir.]

You have received a system rebate of 423,600 yuan for your spending on Jiaxinling today.

[Will significantly improve physical defense, physical fitness, endurance, and stamina]

You will have an indestructible body and kidneys that are impervious to bullets and knives!

Watching Huang Huifeng pedal his tricycle away into the distance.

Gu Yifan held the bottle of something that Huang Huifeng had secretly slipped to him, which was said to be good for men, and sighed sincerely.

"Who would have thought that this middle-aged man owns more than twenty houses?"

Master Huang is truly a remarkable person.

An indestructible body, without having to sacrifice one's intelligence?
Gu Yifan was really looking forward to it!

The two exchanged contact information, and who knows, they might meet again in the future.

Oh right, we'll definitely meet again.

After all, Gu Yifan had invited Master Huang to go for a drink at the bar in the commercial street downstairs when he had time, and he readily agreed.

Gu Yifan returned to the rented apartment he had just booked.

Now it was just him and Xinling left.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Is Cyndi taking a shower?
Not locking the door shows a lack of security awareness.

Gu Yifan was planning to sneak up and launch a surprise attack to teach Xinling a 'little lesson'.

The next second, a pretty little face peeked out from the bathroom door.

"Brother, you're back~"

Looking at Xinling's pretty face, which resembled that of a virtuous wife and loving mother, Gu Yifan had a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

Just like a newlywed couple, they work together to build their love nest.

"Yes, I'm back," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Xinling also came out carrying a basin of water, swaying slightly.

You can see that she has changed her clothes, which she probably brought with her from the orphanage to Shanghai; they are a bit old.

Wearing a loose floral short-sleeved shirt and jeans, paired with Cyndi Wang's hair tied up in a bun, she has a girl-next-door vibe.

Even loose-fitting clothes can't hide her incredibly proportionate figure; she's a feast for the eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"Cleaning up!"

Xinling smiled shyly, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.

Hehe, she has a family now.

"Although the room looks fairly clean, it still needs to be cleaned thoroughly."

Xinling explained that she bent down and placed the half-basin of water on the ceramic floor, facing Gu Yifan directly.

Also, because the neckline of the short sleeves is very low, the collar naturally droops down due to gravity.
结果
Neutral zone? Hiss!

Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse, the 36D was indeed as terrifying as its reputation suggested.

Gu Yifan felt a little dizzy.
Hao Nai.

He swore that it was something he could not control.

Xinling, however, did not notice Gu Yifan's expression.

"I'll help you," Gu Yifan said, taking off his coat.

Xinling didn't refuse, and smiled lightly, "Then can you help me hang up the sheets? The clothesline is a bit high."

Since Cyndi was hospitalized for so long, her clothes, sheets, and blankets were left at the Aisen Apartment, and they've gotten a bit damp.

If I don't bask in the afternoon sun, I definitely won't be able to sleep at night.

Gu Yifan waved his hand dismissively, "Why bother drying them? We'll go to the supermarket later and buy new ones."

Xinling thought about it for a moment, and since it was going to be worn close to her body, she nodded in agreement.

"Then you take a rest first, brother. I'll do it. I'm good at housework."

Gu Yifan didn't stand on ceremony, after all, Xinling herself had the "virtuous wife and loving mother" buff.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"Hmm~ Do you need some tissues?"

".Need not."

awkward
Gu Yifan went into the bathroom.

Xinling thought for a moment, then got up and walked to the sofa, intending to pick up Gu Yifan's coat and hang it up; there was a coat rack by the door.

She loved this feeling: her husband came home, went to take a shower, and the young wife helped him tidy his clothes.
However, when she picked up Gu Yifan's coat...

A hint of hesitation flashed in Xinling's big eyes, and a thought that had quietly emerged quickly took root and sprouted.
"I really want to smell Yifan's jacket, will it smell like him?"

Xinling's heart started racing. She glanced at the bathroom with a guilty look before making up her mind!
"Just take a sniff. If there's a smell, help Brother Yifan wash his clothes."

Xinling quickly buried her face deep into Gu Yifan's coat and took a deep breath.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

A moment later, a look of satisfaction appeared on Xinling's pretty face.

It smells like Yifan, pleasant and fragrant, with no unpleasant odor.
As soon as she got close, Xinling would naturally recall being held in Gu Yifan's arms, feeling a sense of security that was like the afternoon sun, soothing her tense heart.

Soon, Xinling, feeling guilty, turned her face away, her cheeks flushed.

Just as I was about to hang up my clothes, a small white bottle fell out of my pocket.

"Is this medicine? Is Brother Yifan sick?"

Xinling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly picked it up, only to find that it was written on it.
"Longhu Liuwei Dihuang Pills"

Cyndi: ⊙_⊙? ? ?
what is this?
It doesn't seem to be medicine.

"Wow~"

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Xinling was startled and quickly stuffed the small bottle back into her coat, then hurriedly hung the coat back on the hanger.

Gu Yifan walked out without noticing anything.

Xinling pretended to wipe the table, but her expression was a little unnatural, and her heart was racing.

She was not suited to doing bad things, and was just about to raise her head to steal a glance at Gu Yifan.

As it happened, Gu Yifan also looked over, and the two locked eyes.
Xinling's heart began to pound, and her pretty face gradually flushed.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Xinling regretted it as soon as she said it; what a silly thing to say.

"..." Gu Yifan chuckled and walked over. "Why do you look like you've done something wrong?"

"No, no, it's just, it's just..." Xinling didn't know how to ask, and rubbed her little hands together.

"Ok?"

Xinling steeled herself and stammered, "It's just that I hung up your clothes."

"Oh, and then what?"

Gu Yifan's voice put Xinling at ease. She asked softly, "A small medicine bottle fell out. Are you sick, brother?"

As she spoke, Xinling looked up at Gu Yifan, her face filled with concern.

Gu Yifan: "."

The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.
Xinling saw the medicine Master Huang gave him? Damn it! How could he forget to put it in the car? No, he should have put it directly into the system space.

"No, I'm not sick," Gu Yifan explained with a dry laugh.

"What is that?" Xinling blinked, puzzled.

"Ahem. You could say it's a health supplement." Gu Yifan's face turned a little red. He couldn't very well explain the effects to the innocent Xinling.

"Oh," Xinling nodded, half believing and half doubting.

Brother Yifan is so strong, does he need health supplements?

However, she had indeed heard that wealthy people take a lot of nutritional supplements, which are very good for their health.
Seeing Xinling's adorable appearance, Gu Yifan couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Xinling's chubby cheeks.

"If you have anything to say, just ask me next time."

Hmm, it feels really good.

Cyndi lost over 20 pounds before, but thankfully she has recovered recently. Her face is still oval, but it's become even more slender.

Xinling's face flushed slightly because of Gu Yifan's affectionate gesture, and she obediently agreed.

"Good~"

She suddenly realized that since the house had already been rented, and now only she and Yifan were in the room.
Does that mean it's possible?
Gu Yifan withdrew his hand and started pacing around the living room again.

A flicker of regret crossed Xinling's eyes. She stole a glance in Gu Yifan's direction before resuming her housework.

This time, however, Cindy's emotions were not calm, and all sorts of fantasies kept popping into her mind.

This made Xinling feel as if a deer was fluttering in her heart, and her breathing began to quicken.

Gu Yifan's gaze fell on the clutter piled up on the balcony.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yifan rolled up his sleeves, ready to clean up.

I just stepped onto the balcony.

A system notification followed immediately.

You unexpectedly discovered a broken peach wood sword in the cave left behind by the fortune teller.

Although it has been covered in dust for many years, becoming broken and even degenerating into a sword blank, it still has the potential to become a magical artifact!

A magical artifact?!
Gu Yifan's eyes lit up. Good heavens, can you find treasure in a garbage dump?
Although the clothes Gu Yifan was wearing could all be considered magical artifacts, he still didn't have a suitable weapon.

Although modern society is very safe, who doesn't dream of flying through the air on a sword?

This thing is like a deadly weapon.

You can do without it, but you absolutely cannot be without it.

Gu Yifan's gaze swept over a pile of miscellaneous items, finally settling on an object emitting a faint green light.

Without thinking, he reached out and picked it up, pulling it out from the clutter.

It really is a small wooden sword
only.
"Isn't this a bit too small?"

Gu Yifan looked at the wooden sword model, which was only about the size of a palm and wrapped in strips of cloth, and fell into deep thought.
