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

Chapter 211 His strengths are his love of learning and his magnanimity.

Unwrap the cloth strip that looked like it had been wrapped for a long time, covered in dust and yellowed.

The true form of the peach wood sword was finally revealed before our eyes.

A small wooden sword with somewhat rough workmanship, like the kind of toy for children, deliberately dulled, its sharpness probably zero.

"Can this thing also be used as a calculator?"

Gu Yifan's brow twitched violently. He asked the system in bewilderment, "If this thing were thrown on the street, no one would pick it up, would they?"

[You have obtained a low-grade Xuan-level unclaimed magic weapon prototype. Due to years of being covered in dust, it has not seen the light of day and has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon.]

But you discover that with proper nurturing and cultivation using spiritual energy, the magical artifact might one day regain its radiance!

at this time
"Brother? What are you holding in your hand?"

Gu Yifan turned his head and found that Xinling had walked to his side for some reason, peeking out and looking curiously at the broken wooden sword in Gu Yifan's hand.

"Nothing, just cleaning up the clutter." Gu Yifan shook his head, raised the small wooden sword in his hand, and smiled, "This little wooden sword is quite interesting."

Xinling stared at the little wooden sword, somewhat lost in thought.

"Xinling?"

"Hmm, it's actually quite good."

Cyndi snapped out of her reverie and subconsciously looked down as she spoke, but her expression betrayed a hint of disappointment.

Gu Yifan noticed that Xinling was in a bad mood. He looked at the small wooden sword in his hand, put it aside, and turned around to take Xinling's hand.

"After all that fuss, let's go rest on the sofa for a bit."

"Okay~" Xinling obeyed Gu Yifan's every word.

Gu Yifan pulled Xinling to sit down on the sofa.

On the opposite TV cabinet sat a small color TV covered with a dust cover, and on the old-fashioned wooden coffee table sat a set of porcelain teaware covered with a plastic lid.

The living room wasn't large, but there were windows on one side of each side, with old floral curtains swaying in the breeze that blew into the room.

The other side is a balcony, which is well-ventilated and bright.

"Brother, would you like to stay for dinner tonight?"

Xinling sat down on the sofa, very close to the other person, and the feeling of her heart pounding in her chest intensified.

For a moment I didn't know what to say, and after holding it in for a long time, I cautiously asked.

Gu Yifan laughed, "I wasn't planning on leaving anyway. I'll definitely celebrate after moving to the new place; it'll be a housewarming celebration."

Xinling's mood brightened instantly, her face lit up with joy, and it felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.

"Then I'll go change my clothes. I won't clean yet. I'll go to the market to buy groceries early." Xinling said, trying to stand up.

If we're going to make it more elaborate, we need to start preparing early.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xinling stood up, her little hand, which was still being held by Gu Yifan, felt a surge of strength.

“Oops.”

Xinling was gently pulled by Gu Yifan.

She only had time to gasp before she fell back onto the sofa, landing right in Gu Yifan's arms.

For an instant.

She realized she had sat on Gu Yifan's lap.

Xinling's face flushed bright red. She was at a loss, and her soft body stiffened, too afraid to move.

She was timid and pitiful, with an endearing appearance that made people want to love her.

"No rush, let's rest for a while. It's not even three o'clock yet, we can go out at four o'clock."

Gu Yifan whispered in Xinling's ear.

The warm breath he exhaled landed right on Xinling's earlobe, making her shudder.

"Mmm," Xinling's voice was gentle and melodious, nasal in tone.

Xinling has a soft personality and is also timid. The bravest thing she could do was to secretly kiss Gu Yifan while his legs were numb.

Now, being held in Gu Yifan's arms, she had never experienced such an intimate gesture before. Her mind went blank, and she dared not move.

What is Yifan trying to do?
Could it be that he's thinking...?

Xinling's eyes gradually became watery. Sitting in Gu Yifan's arms, she lowered her head shyly, her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

If Yifan really wants it, then she will give it to him.

But Gu Yifan made no further move.

What is Gu Yifan doing?

He was looking closely at Cyndi Wang's pretty face, admiring her beauty.

She has soft features, lowered eyebrows and a shy demeanor, with slightly disheveled sideburns.

Although she wasn't as stunningly beautiful as Nolan.

She wasn't as charming and alluring as Su Weiwei.

She lacked Miss Lin's lively and energetic nature.

But the more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes, the more beautiful it looks. The soft lines outline a delicate temperament, making you want to bully it.

Of course, it's mostly aroused protective instincts.

Gu Yifan reached out and quickly tied Xinling's hair into a bun, tucking the loose strands behind her ears.

Feeling the warmth of her fingers, Xinling became even more nervous. Her mind felt lightheaded, and her reactions became sluggish.

But then they heard Gu Yifan's voice, which sounded as if it had been pulled away, slowly rise up.

"Were you in a bad mood just now?"

Xinling was slow to react for two seconds before she realized what was happening. She raised her small face and looked at Gu Yifan blankly.

"what?"

Gu Yifan repeated, "I said, were you in a bad mood just now?"

Xinling stared blankly at Gu Yifan's handsome face, feeling a warmth in her heart.

So you noticed that, bro?
"Um"

Xinling didn't hide anything. She nodded her chin and answered softly, "When I was very young, I also had a small wooden doll."

"From an orphanage?" Gu Yifan blinked and asked.

Xinling shook her head and said in a very soft voice, "No. My parents gave it to me."

Gu Yifan now understood why Xinling seemed a little disappointed.

He tried to be careful not to touch the wounds in the heart of this already unfortunate girl.

"Want to tell me about it?"

Seemingly noticing Gu Yifan's more cautious tone, Xinling smiled gently, stretched out her slender, fair arms, and hooked them around Gu Yifan's shoulders.

"Actually, I'm fine. I don't blame them. I only blame myself for being so useless. But it's okay, I have an older brother now, I'm not alone anymore."

As she spoke, Xinling hesitated, then tentatively brought her face closer to Gu Yifan.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she quickly pressed her cheek against Gu Yifan's neck and gently rubbed her nose against it.

This action was just like a kitten hiding in a corner, secretly observing the actions of humans, and only when it sensed human kindness did it tentatively stumble over and rub against the warm hand of a human.

Gu Yifan gently patted Xinling's thin shoulder, letting her stay close to him, without saying a word.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Xinling then spoke softly.

"I wasn't actually abandoned in an orphanage at birth."

Gu Yifan knew that Xinling had mentioned it once, but she hadn't explained it very clearly.

"I lived in my hometown until I was six years old. Although my grandma wanted a boy, she was still good to me. At least I had food to eat and a place to sleep."

“When I was little, my parents worked in other cities. I can hardly remember what they looked like. Then one time, I suddenly fell ill on my way to school.”

"When I woke up, my parents were back, but they only glanced at me and started arguing in the hospital corridor."

Xinling's voice was calm, without much emotional fluctuation. She rested her face on Gu Yifan's shoulder and looked out the window.

Gu Yifan couldn't see her eyes clearly, but he could hear a hint of sadness in her voice, like a wounded animal secretly licking its wounds.

"I later found out that they had both started new families and came back this time to get a divorce."

"Brother, isn't that a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally, I was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, which became the final reason for their separation."

Xinling raised her head, winked playfully at Gu Yifan, her eyes glistening with tears.

She spoke lightly and casually about the hardships she had endured in the first half of her life.

Gu Yifan remained silent, unsure how to comfort Xinling.

Xinling didn't mind and changed her position from sitting sideways on Gu Yifan's lap to straddling his thigh.

In this way, the two can see each other's facial expressions up close.

"At the time, I didn't know that my parents didn't want me anymore. I stayed in the hospital for a long time until the police found me."

“My grandmother was too old to take care of me. In the end, I went to an orphanage.”

A child who was already old enough to understand was born into this world with a disease and was abandoned by his heartless parents.

Gu Yifan gazed into Xin Ling's bright eyes, opened his arms, and embraced her delicate and soft waist.

"Don't be sad, you won't be alone anymore."

Listen to Gu Yifan's gentle voice.

Even though Xinling only felt a little lost when talking about her background, she felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this.

Xinling nodded vigorously, "Mm."

The two embraced on the sofa, Xinling's heart was now incredibly calm and peaceful.

She no longer cares about the past, because now she has a home of her own.

Wherever Gu Yifan is, that's home for her. Xinling can sense that her heart is gradually drawing closer to Gu Yifan's.

For some reason, Xinling looked up at Gu Yifan.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yifan asked.

Xinling felt a little shy, but she still mustered up her courage and asked, "Can I kiss you?"

Gu Yifan was taken aback. Good heavens, how was he supposed to answer such a question?

Saying yes would be a bit awkward, wouldn't it?

"Girl, you didn't actually have to ask." Xinling stared at Gu Yifan's lips, the atmosphere gradually becoming more intimate. Gu Yifan didn't answer, but she was already getting impatient.

She began to tentatively approach Gu Yifan.

The first two times I was kissed without my consent, will I be kissed without my consent a third time?

The atmosphere is just right.
Before Xinling could offer her lips, Gu Yifan took the initiative this time.

Apply a little force.

He pulled Cyndi closer.

Xinling's soft, fragrant lips were kissed by the forceful Gu Yifan in the next second.

So innocent, Xinling.

She had always thought that a kiss was just a simple touch of lips to lips.

It's not her fault.

Now, the "veteran driver" Gu Yifan is going to teach this naive girl something new.

For example, kissing requires sticking out your tongue.
"Ning"

Xinling initially stared wide-eyed, but soon, she gradually succumbed to the French kiss.

At first, she was just passively being taken advantage of by Gu Yifan.

Before long, Xinling, who was experiencing a real kiss for the first time, began to learn Gu Yifan's kissing techniques in a rather clumsy but somewhat precocious manner.

Hmm, although clumsy, he is eager to learn and has potential.

Gu Yifan noticed.

When they kissed, Cyndi didn't close her eyes like Lin Daiyu; instead, her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him.

Gu Yifan relaxed his grip on Kai Ling, giving her some breathing room, and asked with a smile, "Why have you been staring at me?"

Xinling was a little embarrassed to answer. She couldn't very well say that she didn't want to close her eyes because she thought Gu Yifan was handsome.

With the fresh air, Xinling's dizzy head cleared up a bit. She bit her lip, remained silent, and took the initiative to initiate a matching request again.

"Ding! Gu Yifan has accepted Xinling's match request."

Having received Gu Yifan's earnest guidance last time, Xinling was exceptionally bold this time during the kiss.

Gu Yifan's hand, which had been resting on Xinling's soft waist, began to explore outwards.

Xinling's body is not very similar to Wanyu's or Ms. Hu's; instead, it is more like Zhuge Liang.

However, he was noticeably thinner than Zhuge Dasheng, but his skin was just as soft as the lady's, as soft as cotton.

Gu Yifan didn't even dare to think about it.

If it were winter now, or a rainy autumn, how comfortable it would be to hold such a soft and docile girl in your arms.

Xinling sensed Gu Yifan's restless movements but made no attempt to stop him.

The thoughts gradually came back to her mind, the feelings she had while she was still unconscious.

It felt as if a pair of large, hot hands were massaging her, but she felt no discomfort at all; instead, it was as if her whole body was soaking in a hot spring.

Very comfortable.

After being baptized, Cyndi's originally frail body gradually became healthier and more energetic.
Unfortunately, Cyndi Wang has never been able to find out where that hot spring-like feeling comes from.

Now, a sudden realization dawned on Cyndi.
Could it be that.
That's it, it must be Brother Yifan.

He was saving her, and she felt exactly the same thing, except that the warm current that enveloped her internal organs was missing.

Whether magic exists in the world, Cyndi doesn't know.

But she now attributes her new life, the miracle that happened to her, entirely to the 'god' who rescued her from suffering.

Xinling opened her beautiful eyes, and her gaze changed somewhat.

There was more tenderness and affection, more admiration, and more intense, burning gaze.

"Brother Yifan"

Xinling spoke shyly, biting her teeth lightly, her eyes becoming watery and alluring.

"Ok?"

Gu Yifan looked up at Xinling, who was standing tall and looking up at him.

But then she smiled, revealing her teeth, and draped her snow-white arms over Gu Yifan's shoulders.

"Thank you~"

Gu Yifan blinked, somewhat confused.

Why do you say that?
He has just confirmed one thing: the size of Xinling is indeed not something that can be controlled by one hand.

Just like it's difficult for a person to hold a volleyball with one hand.

Well, the description might be a bit exaggerated, but Cyndi Wang undoubtedly outshines a whole bunch of girls in terms of figure.

Having successfully reached the top, she became Gu Yifan's 'Number One!'

"Yay! We're the champions!"

Originally, Cyndi Wang intended to lift her clothes.

This would allow Gu Yifan to more directly appreciate the 'beauty' of the rest of his life, which would belong entirely to him.

This is the best repayment Cyndi Wang could give.

But fate seemed to play a little joke on her.

Xinling felt as if something was flowing out of her body.
As she lowered her head, Cyndi's expression gradually froze.

The answer is—blood!

Hmm. Menstrual blood.

Xinling's relatives arrived unexpectedly; she hadn't even realized it and had overlooked it.

Of course, it's possible that it was mistaken for something else, cough cough.

Anyway, when Cyndi found out...

A bloodstain had stained her jeans and also gotten on Gu Yifan's pants.

Gu Yifan was also startled.

Don't do that, it can easily cause psychological trauma.

Gu Yifan also overlooked this problem.

In fact, as a normal girl, Cyndi Wang would definitely have her period. Last month, it was probably Aunt Liao who helped her clean it up.

At the time, Cyndi was probably still unconscious, which caused her to miscalculate the time.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Seeing Xinling's flustered expression and constant apologies, Gu Yifan quickly comforted her, "It's okay, you didn't get much."

Indeed, it's only a tiny bit; you can't see it unless you look closely.

Gu Yifan was glad he was wearing black pants; if he had worn white pants, he would have been in big trouble.

Xinling pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

My heart is filled with regret. Why did it have to happen today?

Gu Yifan has taken good care of Xinling.

Well, if you're thinking about the body, those who have impure thoughts should go stand in the corner and reflect on their actions.

Xinling had her period, but she didn't feel any discomfort. She didn't suffer excruciating pain like Miss Lin, nor was she depressed, or easily lost control of her emotions like Ms. Hu.

This proves that Cyndi is in very good health now, except for one thing: the amount was a bit large.

In the restroom, Xinling softly and weakly opened the door a crack, her timid voice escaping.

"Brother Yifan, could you... could you..."

"Do not worry."

Before Xinling could finish speaking, Gu Yifan nodded, "Sanitary napkins, right? I'll go buy some for you."

Xinling's face turned bright red, and she nodded gratefully.

There were footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.

Xinling breathed a sigh of relief.

She just turned on the solar water heater in the bathroom and took a quick rinse.

The jeans, stained red with menstrual blood, were thrown into a basin.

Cyndi, wrapped in a bath towel, was sitting on the toilet, waiting, when she gradually lost her focus and began to daydream.

My brother is so considerate; he didn't blame her, but instead comforted her immediately.

Come to think of it, I was the first person to buy sanitary napkins for her, not counting the hospital director.

shy
As a girl with traditional values, Cyndi Wang has always felt that menstruation is a very private, shameful, and dirty thing.

"You idiot Cyndi. You should have remembered this a long time ago. When you were in the hospital, you didn't go to the supermarket to buy it in advance. Now you're asking me to buy it for you. It's so embarrassing."

Xinling muttered to herself, blaming herself, her face displaying a variety of expressions.

Sometimes shy, sometimes resentful, sometimes grateful.

However, Yifan looked very calm.

It was as if he knew the ropes like the back of his hand.
Did he buy sanitary napkins for other girls?

Thinking of this, Xinling's expression darkened slightly.

I'm sure I did, when I bought sanitary napkins for Sister Wanyu.

Cyndi curled up her legs and hugged her knees, looking aggrieved.

I know I'm definitely not Yifan's first woman.

She clearly had a chance before, if she hadn't been so useless and had been in a coma for two months.

The results were all wasted.

You idiot Cyndi! You idiot Cyndi!
Time passes little by little.

With a click-clack sound coming from outside the bathroom, Xinling, who was still in a daze, looked up like a wary little rabbit.

Yes, it was the sound of a door opening.

Then came the sound of the door closing, followed by Gu Yifan's voice.

"Xinling, I'm back."

In an instant, all the random thoughts that had been swirling in Xinling's mind vanished, and a silly smile appeared on her face.

Hehe, bro's back, that's great.
