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

Chapter 227 My Roommates and I Have Lofty Ambitions!

The following day, today will be cloudy.

After the torrential rain a few days ago, the sweltering heat of the entire summer in Shanghai seemed to have been extinguished.

Although the high temperatures are still reluctant to leave this "golden toad swallowing gold" treasure land, they have at least moved a little.

The noisy breeze also brought a touch of coolness.

3601 living room.

Meijia, Zhanbo, and Gu Yifan are commenting on Hu Yifei's outfit.

"I think that outfit was great, tight leather pants, a belted vest, and a leather jacket—so sexy and unrestrained, and it really showed off her figure!" Meijia insisted.

"Come on, Meijia, my older sister is a teacher, not a nightclub dancer. How can she dress sexily?" Zhanbo firmly denied.

"Sis, I think the pleated dress from the beginning was pretty good."

"Zhanbo, you don't understand. What era are we living in now? Young people dress very freely now. Your kind of artsy female teacher is too old-fashioned."

On the single sofa, Gu Yifan silently drank his cola through a straw, watching the two argue.

The reason for their argument was simple.

Today is Hu Yifei's first day as a counselor.

In the afternoon, I will meet with students from my three classes in the large classroom of the college's teaching building.

In order to make a striking impression on the new students, Ms. Hu got up early in the morning and started worrying about what to wear that day.

They called out Gu Yifan and Zhanbo, and even went to find Meijia, asking the three of them for advice.

To be honest, Ms. Hu's taste was indeed a bit shocking to Gu Yifan.

Is she going to cosplay Wonder Woman in leather pants and a leather jacket? Does she also need to ride a Harley, wearing a hood and goggles?

Of course, Ms. Hu's long legs do look quite good in leather pants.

But Gu Yifan, emmm, still felt it was a bit cringeworthy.

“If my older sister dresses up like you suggested, Meijia, it won’t be awe-inspiring for the students, it will be terrifying!” Zhanbo shook his head repeatedly.

Meijia wanted to argue back, but Hu Yifei interrupted her, "Alright, you two, stop arguing."

"Gu Yifan?"

"Hmm?" Gu Yifan, biting his straw, turned his head to look at Hu Yifei, who was standing with her hands on her hips.

"Tell me, which set do you think is better?" Hu Yifei said impatiently.

She's changed into four or five outfits already, and Meijia and Zhanbo's opinions have never been the same.

"Can I refrain from commenting?" Gu Yifan asked hesitantly.

"no!"

Gu Yifan put down his cola and sighed.

"I don't think your first few outfits were very good, Sister Yifei."

Otherwise, she's too ordinary, no different from any other girl, wearing shorts and a long-sleeved shirt.

Or it's too abstract, like leather jackets and leather pants.

"Then what better suggestions do you have!" Ms. Hu was annoyed; none of the four or five outfits she had were satisfactory.

"Does Gu Yifan just think her clothes are bad, or does he simply think she's a bad person?"

"As for suggestions," Gu Yifan couldn't really think of any good ones.

No, not at all.

"None of those outfits look good without you saying they are?" Hu Yifei roared in anger.

Gu Yifan said innocently, "Just because I didn't give any suggestions doesn't mean the first few outfits were good."

Saying that a chef's cooking is bad doesn't mean that diners have to know how to cook.

Ms. Hu laughed in anger, stepped forward, and grabbed Gu Yifan's shirt and tie.

Her pretty face drew closer, her brows furrowed and her eyes glaring.

"Tell me, if you can't say anything good or bad today, you'll stand on the podium for me at the meeting this afternoon!"

Gu Yifan thought to himself, "This isn't necessarily a bad thing."

But Gu Yifan wisely didn't say it.

To avoid Ms. Hu, who was already getting impatient after trying on several outfits, beating him up.

"Sister Yifei, have you thought this through? What kind of image do you want to present to your students?"

Gu Yifan carefully considered his words before speaking.

In fact, he felt that Yifei's anxiety was completely unnecessary.

What does it matter what you wear on your first meeting? The students won't care at all.

Hu Yifei is just too concerned about her image in front of her students.

It's strange, why didn't I see her care so much before?
Hu Yifei thought for a moment, "I want to change the image of being 'feared' by students!"

She's practically a 'campus legend' in the eyes of the students now.

Hu Yifei used to think it was nothing.

But yesterday, seeing those students all looking at Nuolan and Su Weiwei with sparkling eyes.

Upon seeing her, he immediately changed his expression, his eyes darting away and his face filled with fear.

Hu Yifei was very unhappy.

She wants to turn her image around, but she's too embarrassed to say it directly.

"You have to come up with something for me!"

Ms. Hu finally resorted to this unreasonable and nonsensical argument.

"let me see."

Gu Yifan thought to himself, could changing the image students have of him really be done by just changing his clothes or style?

You should try to change your short temper first.

"Why don't you try the stepmother style?"

"Stepmother style?"

Hu Yifei misunderstood, forcefully tugged at Gu Yifan's tie, and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you mocking me for being old?"

Meijia was also curious, biting her fingernail and saying, "I've only ever heard of stepmother literature, how come I didn't know there was such a thing as stepmother style?"

"Alas, I am ignorant."

Gu Yifan pulled his tie back; if he hadn't been wearing a white shirt, he wouldn't have worn a tie at all.

"The stepmother style I'm referring to is a mature, intellectual, and sexy style for women. And you, Sister Yifei, are mature, intellectual, sexy, and beautiful, so you're absolutely perfect for it."

After Gu Yifan finished speaking, Hu Yifei blushed slightly, "Am I really that good?"

“That’s right.” Gu Yifan nodded firmly.

Ms. Hu was a little embarrassed. "It seems I misunderstood you just now. Go on, how should I dress?"

Zhanbo sighed inwardly, thinking, "As expected of Gu Yifan, the only man who can tame his older sister."

If he had commented on Hu Yifei like that, he probably would have had his legs broken by a single flick of his wrist.

Now, a few words are all it takes to cheer up my older sister again.

Gu Yifan picked up a fashion magazine from the table and flipped through it, finding a piece of clothing worn by a female model.

A simple white off-shoulder dress, adorned with light gold chain decorations, and long, slightly wavy hair swept to one side—a mature, languid, elegant, and intellectual look.

"This one is good, it suits my stepmother style perfectly."

Gu Yifan held it up to show Hu Yifei.

"Hey!" Hu Yifei's eyes lit up as she took the magazine and exclaimed in surprise, "It's really good! The model looks a lot like me."

Zhanbo got up and leaned closer, "It doesn't look like it at all, how does it resemble it?"

Hu Yifei impatiently tapped Zhanbo on the forehead with a magazine, "I'm talking about style! Style!"

"Let me see." Mika took it, biting her lip. "This bag is so elegant too."

But then, Mika turned the page again, her expression freezing.

"What's wrong? Meijia, what do you think is wrong again?" Hu Yifei asked impatiently, though she actually quite liked this kind of thing.

“That’s not right,” Mika sighed, turned the magazine around, and pointed to the price. “The price is wrong. This outfit is Gloria’s main women’s clothing. It costs over six thousand yuan, and the wallet is not cheap either, at sixteen thousand eight. The whole outfit costs more than twenty thousand yuan.”

Hu Yifei's smile froze. If she were asked to spend over a thousand yuan on a piece of clothing, she could grit her teeth and still afford it.

But it costs 20,000 yuan to buy a set of clothes.

Go crazy.

"..." Gu Yifan quickly said, "I was just giving an example, just an example."

Hu Yifei sighed, "Forget it, I'll just choose for myself."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "Actually, Yifei, your outfit before, the denim skirt and polka dot sundress, was pretty good."

"Eh!"

Hu Yifei recalled that she did indeed have this outfit.

However, how could Gu Yifan remember it so clearly?

Hu Yifei's gaze shifted slightly, but she hesitated because Zhanbo and Meijia were still there.

"Hmph, it's none of your business to interfere!"

After saying that, he turned and went back to his room.

Gu Yifan shook his head, put away his crossed legs and stood up, "Yifei is really hard to please."

Zhanbo quietly walked up to Gu Yifan and said shyly, "Um... Brother Gu."

"what happened?"

"My sister said you know a girl who's a good match for me, and she's planning to introduce her to me," Zhanbo asked shyly, his eyes sparkling. "Is it that policewoman from last time?"

Gu Yifan slapped his forehead; he had almost forgotten about it.

"Yes, Zhanbo, you still remember Officer Moran."

Zhanbo got shy.

“I asked her last time, and she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Her family is urging her to go on blind dates, but I was so busy that I forgot to tell your older sister.” Gu Yifan took out his phone.

"I'll give you her contact information. You can seize the opportunity yourself."

Zhanbo breathed a sigh of relief, tears of gratitude streaming down his face, and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu!"

Meijia looked at him strangely. Zhanbo was clearly stronger than Gu Yifan, but why did it feel so natural for Zhanbo to call Gu Yifan "brother"?

After Zhanbo left happily, Meijia asked Gu Yifan with a grin, "Yifan, do you have any guys who are suitable for me?"

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "Well, there really isn't one."

It seems that all the contacts he added were female, with Huang Huifeng being the only male contact.

"Meijia, tell me what you need, and I'll keep an eye out for you."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and then said.

Gu Yifan didn't want to interfere in Meijia and Ziqiao's relationship and planned to let them develop freely.

Gu Yifan always believed that nothing is unchangeable.

Whether Meijia and Ziqiao's relationship is like the original drama, full of love and hate, or whether they gradually drift apart, it's their own life, and no one else should interfere.

"Well," Mika thought for a moment, "it would be best if he were handsome."

Gu Yifan nodded. He knew Meijia was a looks-obsessed person, and he also knew Meijia was a beautiful but silly girl, so this request wasn't unreasonable.

"Being about as handsome as Yifan is fine."

Gu Yifan: "." Then this request is excessive.

Meijia didn't notice Gu Yifan's expression and continued, "Whether you have money or not isn't that important, but it would be best if you had a job that could support yourself."

"Mmm." Gu Yifan nodded again; this was normal.

"It would be wonderful if I were like you, Yifan."

Gu Yifan was silenced once again by Meijia.

Are you serious?

"Also, you must be diligent, love reading and learning, and be smart, because I'm a bit slow, and if both of us are slow, then our future children will probably be slow too."

"Age doesn't matter to me, but it's best if they're not too young. Young people are immature, and I prefer mature people."

Gu Yifan looked at Meijia, who was immersed in her own fantasy world, and hesitated to speak, but couldn't bear to interrupt her.

Okay, okay, I'm off for a walk.
Gu Yifan quietly retreated and left.

Mika was still lost in her fantasies about her 'future boyfriend', completely absorbed in them.

In the afternoon, Gu Yifan drove to pick up Xinling and they went to school together.

This time we can drive right in.

On campus.

With the start of the school year, there are more students, mostly young people, full of energy.

Gu Yifan escorted Xinling to her dormitory building.

It attracted the attention of many girls.

You might not recognize the car, but you'll at least recognize the logo.

"Then I'll be going now, brother." Xinling turned her head and smiled at Gu Yifan.

"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight." Gu Yifan nodded.

Xinling nodded obediently, feeling very happy. "Okay."

Get out of the passenger seat.

Watching Gu Yifan wave goodbye and drive away, Xinling watched him until he disappeared around the corner before turning to go back to her dorm.

University life seems pretty good.

The thought of being able to eat with Gu Yifan, go to class together, and go to the library together filled Xinling with anticipation for the future.

Just as Xinling turned around, preparing to go to her dormitory.

She was suddenly patted on the left shoulder.

Xinling quickly turned her head, but didn't see anyone. Then her right shoulder was 'suddenly attacked' again.

This time, Cyndi finally saw who it was and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, Xinling, you're back?"

A pretty girl with short, refreshing flaxen hair and wearing a blue and white striped sleeveless top stood in front of Xinling.

Her smile was a bit goofy and cute; she seemed like the quirky, clever type, and quite outgoing.

"Zhao, huh?" Xinling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why call me Zhao? That sounds so stiff and rigid. We'll be roommates from now on, just call me Erxi," the short-haired girl said with a beaming smile.

Cyndi nodded.

The short-haired girl asked curiously, "Was the person who brought you here your boyfriend?"

"No, it's not." Xinling shook her head.

"real or fake?"

"It's my brother."

"Wow, I didn't know your family was so rich, Cyndi, you drive a Mercedes."

"It's because my brother has money now."

"Your brother's rich, but so are you. You'll have to look out for me from now on!"

Male dormitory
third floor.

When Gu Yifan arrived yesterday morning, the place was empty, but now it's become much more lively.

Several boys carried basins of water to the public restroom at the end of the corridor to wash up. The open dormitory door revealed a lot of luggage that had not yet been unpacked and was piled up on one side, while wine bottles were scattered all over the floor.

When guys meet, the quickest way to build rapport is to have a drink together. Once the drinks flow, everyone gets to know each other.

Upon seeing Gu Yifan appear, the boys all turned to look at him curiously.

"Wow, this guy is really handsome."

"You bet it is, it's quite tall."

"From our class?"

"No way, maybe he's an upperclassman. He doesn't look like a freshman."

Good looks always need to be compared to see how good they really are.

Gu Yifan is tall and handsome, with a charm that's close to 90 points. He has deep eyes that look at even dogs with affection.

"Senior, are you looking for someone?" One of the boys, who was thin, slightly short, and looked a bit like a monkey, asked enthusiastically.

"Senior?" Gu Yifan smiled.

"No, buddy, I'm a freshman in this dorm."

Gu Yifan pointed to dormitory 308, the room opposite the skinny boy.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their expressions somewhat strange.

Gu Yifan nodded to the other person, then pushed open the door to his dormitory room.

The noise gradually grew louder, carrying a hint of smoke.

"Three to three."

"Five in a row!"

"don't want."

I heard the door open.

Inside the dormitory, three people playing cards at a table made of suitcases turned to look.

Because they were sitting on the ground, they couldn't see Gu Yifan's face and had to look up.

Eyes facing each other.

"Senior, are you looking for someone?"

A burly young man with a mustache, a rather impatient appearance, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth spoke, his tone carrying a hint of roguishness, though also a touch of unease.

Gu Yifan noticed that this guy was wearing a sleeveless vest and had a tattoo on his upper arm, which was a character.

Wow. Artists are all pretty wild, huh? Could it be his girlfriend's name?

"I'm not a senior, I'm just a classmate."

Gu Yifan smiled and pointed to the right side of the door, where there was only luggage and no make-up bed. "I'll stay here."

Three people: "."

To be honest, Gu Yifan doesn't look old at all; he's at least younger than the well-dressed guy with the mustache who has a roguish air about him.

But the composure and aura of authority that comes with being a cultivator always makes people overlook his age.

This is also how the three future roommates will feel.

The scene quieted down for a moment.

Soon, the well-dressed young man stood up with a smile.

"Ahem, brother, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were a senior. My name is Xie Xun, I'm from Chongqing, you should be able to tell from my accent."

"Gu Yifan, Lion King, brother, that's a powerful name." Gu Yifan gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, you're welcome."

Another tall, thin, fair-skinned boy wearing glasses extended his hand. "I'm Guan Chao, from Shanghai."

"Oh, me too." Gu Yifan shook hands with the other person.

"Are you from Shanghai too?" the bespectacled boy asked in surprise.

"Well, but your Shanghai dialect isn't as good as yours. You can only understand it, not speak it."

After saying this with a smile, Gu Yifan looked to the side and saw a handsome guy with a buzz cut.

He had a very upright and dignified appearance, somewhat resembling a celebrity that Gu Yifan had seen before.

However, he is somewhat inferior to Gu Yifan.

"Brother, you're so handsome! I thought I was handsome enough, but after seeing you, I realized that there are always people more handsome than me. Lin Xiangyu, just call me Xiangyu."

The other person smiled and extended their hand.

"Likewise, brother, you're both like the King of Chu! One is a protector of the Ming Cult, and the other is the King of Western Chu. Our dorm is full of talented people!" Gu Yifan joked.

The three of them were taken aback, then burst out laughing, "Hahaha."

The awkward atmosphere from before has dissipated considerably.

The three roommates looked at Gu Yifan with shining eyes.

"I knew it! There was something on this bed, so why didn't anyone come?" Xie Xun sat down again, arranging his cards, and said cheerfully, "Come on, let's play a round?"

"By the way, buddy, why didn't you come back last night?" the fair-skinned 'Lin Bawang' asked curiously.

“Oh, I live nearby,” Gu Yifan replied.

The three people's eyes lit up.

"Dude, you don't live alone, do you?" Xie Xun asked with a smile, judging from his beaming smile.

Gu Yifan knew he hadn't come to the wrong dormitory.

"It's true that I don't live alone." Gu Yifan nodded seriously.

"Awesome bro, just started school?"

The three of them immediately began howling like wolves.

Gu Yifan smiled but didn't say anything or explain further.

They'll find out eventually.

There were two knocks on the door.

The door opened, and the skinny guy from the opposite dorm popped his head out. "Hey guys, everyone's here. The counselor sent a message in the group chat, asking us to go to the classroom for a meet-up."

"Alright, let's go then, guys." Xie Xun, though a bit roguish, was surprisingly enthusiastic.

"Let's go, Lao Gu, shall we go together?" Lin Xiangyu extended an invitation, and all three of them looked at Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan: Why is it that my nickname always ends up with Lao Gu?

"Let's go."

Gu Yifan nodded, feeling fortunate.

My college roommates seem pretty normal and easy to get along with.

The university section will not be long.

It incorporates some plot elements from "My Brother Who Sleeps in the Bunk Above Me." I don't know if any of you have read it; if you haven't, it won't affect your reading experience.

Also, Cyndi's short-haired roommate is a supporting actress in "Love O2O," played by Mao Xiaotong.

I thought her character was quite likable, so I added her. However, only she will appear; there won't be a second Vivi.
