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

Chapter 236 I'll be your 'protector' tonight!

I got out of the car, stood at the intersection, and watched the Audi drive away.

Zhuge Liang was very clear-headed and rational.

A life in a dream may be beautiful and profound, but it is not reality.

Despite their combined strength and age, the gap between them was ultimately insurmountable.

That's why Zhuge Liang earnestly advised him not to miss out on a good man.

"I must have lost my mind." Gu Yifan watched the taillights of Zhuge Dasheng's car disappear quickly, and slapped his forehead in annoyance.

The main problem was that, for some inexplicable reason, he ended up asking, "What about you, Great Sage Sister?"

Zhuge Dasheng didn't say a word, but kicked him out of the car and left.

As they parted, Gu Yifan seemed to see a fleeting glint of tears in Zhuge Dasheng's beautiful eyes.

It is certain that Zhuge Liang's heart was not as calm as it appeared.

"That's all, take your time."

Gu Yifan didn't expect to be able to quickly accomplish the feat of building a harem.

We can only take it one step at a time and try to reconcile things gradually.

Just as Gu Yifan turned around to go to his car...

"Ding!"

The phone sent a text message notification.

Gu Yifan took out his phone and saw that it was a text message from Zhuge Dasheng.

Sister Dasheng: "Are you free tonight?"

Gu Yifan replied instantly: "Yes, yes."

Soon, another text message arrived.

"Could you drive me tonight? I have an appointment, and I might be drinking."

Gu Yifan immediately thought of the phone call that Zhuge Dasheng had just received.

Is there any connection between the two?

Various speculations surfaced in Gu Yifan's mind.

Could it be some big shot who wanted to invite Zhuge Liang to dinner, and he couldn't refuse?

Gu Yifan's expression turned serious. After thinking about it, he realized it wasn't impossible.

Human nature is complex; what if some guy is lusting after the lady's beauty?

Thinking of this, Gu Yifan lowered his head and typed.

"Big Sister Sheng, who are you having dinner with?"

It was not sent directly.

"Isn't asking like this a bit too obvious?" Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment, then added another sentence.

"Okay, then I'll take you home tonight. Who are you having dinner with, Sister Dasheng? Do you need me to dress up a bit to make a good impression?"

perfect.

Gu Yifan wasn't bragging, but with just a little dressing up, he would be the brightest star in the night sky.

(Holding up the blackboard): The ultimate showman, who else but me!

Zeng Xiaoxian: Hey, you stole my lines.

Gu Yifan: Sorry, Teacher Zeng, I spoke first this time!

This time, it took several minutes for Zhuge Dasheng to reply.

"Don't overthink it, just be a driver."

Gu Yifan, who had been waiting by the roadside, scratched his head when he saw this sentence.

Damn, if you put it that way, I'll start overthinking even more.

He typed several sentences, but in the end, Gu Yifan pressed the delete button and sent the message.

"Okay, see you tonight."

After waiting for a while and receiving no reply from Zhuge Dasheng, Gu Yifan finally put his phone in his pocket.

That's fine, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.

If it's just having dinner with friends, that's fine, but if it's really what he's thinking...
Then Gu's cultivation skills will finally have a chance to be put to good use!

underground garage.

"Bang!" Zhuge Dasheng slammed the car door shut and stood beside it.

She looked down at the text message on her phone, her pretty face illuminated by the white light, a smile playing on her lips.

"Humph."

She could already imagine Gu Yifan wanting to ask but being too embarrassed to, looking unwilling to give up.

"They even helped me save face, but I wanted to ask them but didn't dare."

Zhuge Dasheng muttered softly.

Thinking of what Gu Yifan had done that morning, she raised her pretty face and muttered to herself.

"You're getting bolder and bolder now. If we don't punish you, you'll cause a huge uproar."

Want to know who she ate with?

Go ahead and hurry.

But Gu Yifan's question was still churning in Zhuge Dasheng's mind.

What will she do?
She only told him to find a good partner, she didn't say she wanted to cut off all contact, isn't that clear enough?

Zhuge Liang had considered severing all contact, but how could he simply give up?

a long time.

Zhuge Dasheng suddenly remembered the words Gu Yifan had whispered in her ear.

"The lady has a scratch on her waist, a mark left from a childhood injury."

This statement completely confirms that Gu Yifan and she had the same dream, in which they were husband and wife.

But how could something so miraculous happen?

Zhuge Dasheng consulted a lot of materials, but many explanations were dubious, only a few words, and there was even a theory about parallel worlds.

Through quantum propagation, one can dream of their parallel self.

Previously, Zhuge Liang would never have believed these things, but now, perhaps only this explanation is reasonable.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang would be even less able to sever ties.

Well, what should we do?

She couldn't figure it out either, so she decided to just take it one step at a time.

[Lady Wuhou has chosen to believe in fate and destiny, increasing your favorability towards you by 5. Current favorability: 83. You can invite her to join your sect.]

On his way to the furniture market, Gu Yifan was surprised to receive a system notification.

What the hell? Believing in fate and destiny, and then developing feelings for someone?
It was inexplicable, but then again, Gu Yifan stopped the car on the side of the road.

After the system update, a new sect option has been added. Teammates with a favorability rating of 80 or higher can be invited to join a sect.

Lin Wanyu and the others have all reached a favorability rating of over 80. Among the teammates, only Zhuge Dasheng's favorability rating has not yet reached that level.

"System, open the sect interface."

Gu Yifan closed his eyes, and before him appeared a fairy mountain floating in the sky, with palaces, pavilions, and towers, exuding an ethereal aura.

The cartoon characters Lin Wanyu, Xinling, and Su Weiwei also wandered around various parts of the fairy mountain.

It has a feel of an idle management game interface.

Gu Yifan has already complained about this, but the system just won't change it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the sect seems decent.

In reality, its function was somewhat useless to Gu Yifan.

Teammates with a favorability rating of 80 or higher can be invited to join a sect. As the sect leader, you can modify the cultivation techniques of the sect's disciples!

[New Feature: Sect Resource Production]

[Selectable rewards: Shop Points, Originium, or item rewards]

[Current number of disciples in the sect: 6; Daily output of shop points: 6]

After joining a sect, a disciple's cultivation speed will increase. The sect leader can assign disciples with higher cultivation levels to guide disciples with lower cultivation levels! There is also a chance to increase the mutual affection between the two disciples.

It sounds good, but Lin Wanyu and the others don't have any cultivation.

As the sect leader, Gu Yifan can only guide others, not be guided by them, and therefore cannot increase his cultivation level through the void.

Okay, now it seems to have become a useless feature.

However, Gu Yifan still held a sliver of hope, just in case some miracle happened.

Lin Wanyu was assigned to guide Xinling's cultivation, and Su Weiwei was assigned to guide Nuolan.

Currently, there are no obvious results.

In other words, after the update, the number of shopping mall refresh locations increased to eight, the reward range for daily tasks expanded somewhat, and sects can also produce valuable shopping mall points, which is a decent improvement.

"Let Yifei guide Zhuge Dasheng."

[Master Hu and Lady Wu have never met, so he cannot provide guidance on cultivation.]

Gu Yifan: "."

"Hey buddy, do you even need to look at what you're saying?"

Master Hu is one of the top ten experts in Binhai City, right? I've never seen Lady Wuhou, who is the acting head of the City Lord's Mansion.

The system just stays silent.

Gu Yifan was speechless, his face darkening. Fine, system, you're playing dead again.

It was rearranged again.

Let Su Weiwei guide Zhuge Dasheng, and let Nuolan guide Yifei.

After making the arrangements, Gu Yifan rubbed his chin, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is this right?"

"Fine, that's fine."

Match successful, providing guidance.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Gu Yifan arranged to meet Du Jun nearby, and hung up the phone before his senior brother could say anything leisurely.

Heh heh, it's because Du Jun speaks too slowly that Gu Yifan didn't even give him a chance to refuse.

After the two met.

Gu Yifan led his senior brother to the office of Future Yifan Studio.

Needless to say, the eldest brother was shocked.

He never expected that Gu Yifan would actually rent such a large office in such a high-end office building.

I was skeptical before, could he really be serious?
Gu Yifan assigned tasks: he would handle the money, while Du Jun would take on the task of planning the company's office area.

Gu Yifan had no particular requirements for his office.

Considering the future, and the possibility of sharing joys and sorrows with the employees and working overtime all night, Gu Yifan instructed his senior brother to prepare a room where they could stay overnight.

Gu Yifan didn't notice that Du Jun's expression became more meaningful after hearing this.

The eldest brother speaks slowly, but he is very efficient in doing things.

In less than half an hour, a design comparable to that of a professional designer was presented to Gu Yifan. It was even a 3D version.

Next to Gu Yifan's office.

It's a suite with a view and a double bed where you can rest and sleep at night.

"Wow, Senior Brother, you can even do the work of an interior designer?" Gu Yifan exclaimed in surprise.

Du Jun replied with an air of pride, "Of course! I always have."

停顿
Non-still images.
Gu Yifan slowly typed out a question mark: ".Huh?"

"So talented, so versatile!" the senior brother said with a smile.

Gu Yifan: "Ugh, Senior Brother, it's just the two of us. You can speak at a normal pace now."

“Okay, I’ve done a lot of jobs: HR, product operations, business consulting, masonry, plumbing, drain cleaning—I’m good at everything!” The senior brother’s speech returned to normal, with a hint of pride.

Gu Yifan: "Oh?"

You're good at everything else, but you can't draw comics well, right?

That being said, it would be a shame not to make use of the senior brother's versatility.

Looking at Gu Yifan, who raised an eyebrow, with a thoughtful expression.

Du Jun: "I have a bad feeling about this."

"I didn't expect that there aren't many all-around talents like you, Senior Brother." Gu Yifan first gave his senior brother a small compliment.

"Haha, that's right!" Du Jun relaxed.

But then, Gu Yifan revealed his true colors.

"Senior Brother, the company is currently in its early stages. As one of the company's founding members, you have a heavy responsibility."

Having been tricked into coming here and forced to play the role of an interior designer, Du Jun became wary and spoke rapidly.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm just a lousy comic book artist."

Gu Yifan smiled and shook his head, "Hey, you can't say that. There's an old saying that the capable are always given more work."

"Senior Brother, you are such an all-around genius. If you don't make good use of your talents, cough cough, it would be a waste."

With his eloquent oratory skills.

After some persuasion, Gu Yifan finally convinced Du Jun to take on the part-time HR job and help recruit employees.

Gu Yifan has mastered the essence of being a boss, which is to know people and make good use of them.

Of course, Gu Yifan is different from the boss in that he pays money very readily and promised to give his senior brother an additional HR salary.

A bit of bluffing and a bit of money, and it's done.

7 p.m.

Zhuge Dasheng sent a message asking where Gu Yifan was.

Knowing that he was on the 21st floor, I took the elevator down to find him.

Zhuge Dasheng was slightly surprised to find that the furniture store workers were already delivering office supplies to the office.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yifan was quite efficient; he rented an office in the morning and started setting it up in the afternoon.

"Big Sister Sheng, you've arrived."

In the office lobby, Gu Yifan sat in a chair, looking at the completed manuscript brought by his senior brother.

Since Gu Yifan's first draft was already quite perfect, there was nothing that needed to be modified in the final draft.

"Hmm, Xiao Fan, you're quite fast." Zhuge Dasheng's expression was natural, and it was impossible to tell whether he was still angry.

"That's right." Gu Yifan smiled, stood up and stretched. "After all, it's not easy to take a day off, so we should do as much work as we can."

At this moment, Du Jun suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wearing a yellow hard hat, looking like a construction worker.

No, he's doing renovation work right now.

Ahem, it's true that the capable should do more work.

Upon suddenly seeing Zhuge Liang, Du Jun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Zhuge Dasheng is at the most charming stage of a mature woman's life, radiating maternal glow and graceful charm.

His initial weakness was replaced by a renewed desire to find a mother for his child.

"Who is this"

Upon hearing his senior brother's voice, Gu Yifan stood up and introduced, "This is Zhuge Dasheng. She rented the office for our studio to me and is also a shareholder of the studio."

"Hello, Miss Zhuge." The senior brother straightened his chest, raised his head, and extended his hand with a bright gaze.

But Zhuge Dasheng frowned and showed no intention of shaking hands. "It should be Ms. Zhuge. Let's go, Gu Yifan."

After saying that, Zhuge Liang turned and left, appearing aloof and domineering.

Gu Yifan glanced at his eager senior brother and patted him on the shoulder.

"Stop looking at me, senior brother, work harder, I'll give you a bonus later."

The eldest disciple ignored him and suddenly looked at Gu Yifan, hoping to ask, "That Ms. Zhuge?"

"They already have children, Senior Brother, don't even think about it," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

If you already have a child, doesn't that mean you're already married?

Du Jun's expression froze: "."

Gu Yifan seemed to hear the sound of a heart breaking.

"Where are you going?" Du Jun asked sadly.

"Going to eat with Sister Dasheng?" Gu Yifan was about to leave when Du Jun grabbed him again, pointing at him and asking.

"what about me."

"We can't leave him here alone," Du Jun asked expectantly, "Can I come with you?"

"Sorry, Senior Brother. Here's what we'll do: you can get an invoice and I'll reimburse you later." Gu Yifan brushed off his senior brother and quickly left.

In the room, only Du Jun, wearing a yellow hard hat, remained.

He silently took off his hat, his expression one of grief and indignation.

(The background music for "A Plum Blossom" begins!)

Why should he be stuck here working overtime while Gu Yifan goes out to eat with a beautiful woman?

Why is it that this cheap boss only knows incredibly beautiful women?

He was not convinced.
Not convinced! ! !

Take the elevator downstairs.

"Sister Dasheng, can you take my car?" Gu Yifan asked Zhuge Dasheng casually, "Who are we having dinner with?"

Gu Yifan naturally understood what his senior brother meant.

Unfortunately, he would never give up his wife to someone else.

My wife belongs only to me, Mr. Gu, and no one else is allowed to touch her.

Sorry, senior brother, I'll definitely introduce you to a good one later. By the way, Teacher Shangguan is quite good.

"Okay."

Zhuge Dasheng glanced at Gu Yifan and said with a half-smile, "You'll know when we get there. By the way, eat more vegetables and talk less when you get there."

Gu Yifan remained vigilant, realizing that the conversation was indeed with some important figure.

No, he has to protect the best Great Sage Sister!
"Don't worry, I will definitely be your protector, Sister Dasheng." Gu Yifan said righteously.

Zhuge Liang was ecstatic! Hahaha, a protector of flowers! How could this little man come up with such a thing?

But on the surface, Zhuge Liang quietly nodded and said, "Yes, I believe you."

Eyes smiling.

Along the way, Gu Yifan subtly inquired about Zhuge Dasheng's identity several times, trying to find out the identity of the 'mysterious man'.

However, Zhuge Liang was very tight-lipped.

At 8 p.m., we finally arrived at the restaurant entrance; it was a private kitchen restaurant.

Park the car.

Gu Yifan, with a serious expression, grabbed Zhuge Dasheng's wrist.

The two exchanged glances.

"Sister Sheng, you should at least tell me if it's a boy or a girl, right?"

Zhuge Dasheng finally couldn't help but smile, "You really want to know?"

"Of course," Gu Yifan said dejectedly. "A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness." From a certain perspective, his relationship with Zhuge Dasheng was absolutely deep and their gratitude was as heavy as a mountain.

Zhuge Dasheng stopped and glanced at Gu Yifan's somewhat jealous and depressed expression, feeling extremely pleased.

“It’s a girl,” Zhuge Dasheng said seriously. “Are you satisfied now?”

Gu Yifan's dejection vanished, replaced by a jolt of energy. "Really?"

"If it doesn't work, then forget it. You can see for yourself."

Zhuge Dasheng walked quickly toward the door, afraid that she might burst out laughing.

The way a young man gets jealous is actually quite adorable.

Zhuge Dasheng suddenly realized that his parallel world self's 'understanding' of Gu Yifan was less than half.

Gu Yifan followed him in, half believing and half doubting.

On the second floor, we pushed open the door to the private room.

Gu Yifan followed behind, hearing the voice before seeing the person.

"Oh, Sister Dasheng~ You've come."

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like that of a nightingale. It sounded somewhat familiar, and Gu Yifan's body trembled.

Suddenly, an image flashed into my mind: a beautiful woman with an angelic face and a devilish figure.
Could it be her?
"Hey, aren't you... Sister Dasheng's younger brother?"

Looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him, wearing glasses without prescription lenses, her pretty face was both innocent and alluring.

Gu Yifan: "."

It really is you—Miss Qin Yumo!

Gu Yifan then turned his gaze to Zhuge Dasheng standing to the side.

No, you've been hiding this for so long, and you just came here to have dinner with Qin Yumo?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Seeing Gu Yifan's complicated expression, Zhuge Dasheng couldn't help but chuckle and roll his eyes at him.

"I told you not to overthink things, but the problem is with your own thinking."

"Xiao Fan, call her Sister Yu Mo."

"."

Gu Yifan felt a little sore, but he still had to say, "Hello, Sister Yu Mo."

Qin Yumo tilted her head. She had a deep impression of Gu Yifan, partly because of his outstanding looks, and partly because of Richard.

She glanced at the dejected Gu Yifan, then at Sister Dasheng.

"What, are you disappointed to see me?"

Qin Yumo tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Gu Yifan shook his head.

"Have a seat, Sister Dasheng. You've found the driver, so tonight, we're drinking until we drop!"
