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

Chapter 243 Back to the Apartment, Guardian Beast of the Mountain!

As Gu Yifan expected, Ms. Hu was still asleep, and Zhanbo was probably asleep as well.

It's finally the weekend, I should sleep in all day long.

Gu Yifan threw the bag back into the house, took the pan-fried buns he bought downstairs, and went next door to share them with Guan Gu.

Upon entering, I was greeted by this scene.

Meijia, carrying an oversized razor in each hand, chased Guan Gu all over the house with a sinister grin.

While running, he shouted, "Guan Gu, don't run! I promise I won't hurt you!"

"Meijia, don't chase me, then I won't run away anymore," Guan Gu replied breathlessly, clearly terrified.

Gu Yifan: "."

Three question marks slowly appeared on his face.

What happened to the apartment while he was away?
"Yifan! You're back!"

Guan Gu, his face pale, ran around the sofa and then saw Gu Yifan standing at the door, a look of surprise on his face.

".tasukete (Help me!)!"

Guan Gu rushed to Gu Yifan and grabbed his arm tightly.

Guan Gu was fine when he didn't brake, but when he did, Mei Jia, who was right behind him, almost couldn't stop in time.

Holding a gleaming razor, he was about to charge forward.

"Aaaaah!" Mika screamed.

Gu Yifan reacted quickly and pulled Guan Gu away.

To avoid a tragedy like the 'accidental killing of a friend' that Conan could act out for three episodes.

"What are you guys doing? Cosplaying Kill Bill?" Gu Yifan pulled Guan Gu away, still in the mood to joke.

"Phew, I'm saved!" Guan Gu breathed a sigh of relief. His legs were a little weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Mika was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, kill Bill? I was helping Guan Gu shave his beard!"

As she spoke, Mika was also brandishing the boning knife in her hand.

There was still a trace of dark red on it, which looked exactly like blood when Gu Yifan looked at it from the left and right.

Gu Yifan, with his sharp eyes, spotted the dark red stain and pointed at it, asking dryly, "Meijia, this red stuff, could it be...blood?"

"Eh? How did you know?"

Mika's surprised voice reached Guan Gu's ears.

Guan Gu's face turned even paler. "Meijia, how come there's blood on this? Could it be that you..."

"Guan Gu: My assistant is actually a murderer?! (Tactical pause) Ah!!! Mom, Tokyo University is too scary, I want to go back to Yokohama!"

Mika realized what was happening and nonchalantly brandished the razor. "What? These are marks from when I slaughtered a pig last time. Maybe I didn't wash them off properly."

As she spoke, Meijia moved closer to Guan Gu, which startled Guan Gu into hiding behind Gu Yifan.

"Don't worry, Guangu, I'm very skilled. Shaving pig bristles and shaving a person's beard should be about the same, right?"

"call"

Even though he had guessed the plot, Gu Yifan still found it outrageous, and his lips twitched.

"Meijia, you're using this thing to shave Guan Gu's beard? You probably want to touch Guan Gu's neck, don't you?" Gu Yifan complained.

"How could that be?" Mika stubbornly refused to admit it. "My swordsmanship is incredibly sharp, and every shot hits its mark!"

"And this isn't an ordinary razor!"

So? Or is it a collector's edition?

"No! This razor is a specially customized model; it can automatically conform to the contours of your face, Guan Gu!"

"One swift and clean cut! No pain, no injury, leaving nothing behind. Known in the martial arts world as 'Little Li the Knife'."

Gu Yifan only saw a flash of cold light.

A few strands of Mika's beautiful hair drifted down from the air and landed on the sofa.
Gu Yifan: "."

Guan Gu: "."

Even though he was told to shave, Gu Yifan felt a chill down his groin.
Silently bring your legs together.

"Meijia, put the knife down first. Let's talk this out. This is very dangerous."

"Tch, you don't believe me, huh?" Mika was determined to prove herself. "Hmph, just you wait, I'll show you!"

Meijia turned around and stormed back to her room.

Gu Yifan pulled Guan Gu, who was sitting on the ground and still shivering, to his feet.

Help him brush the dust off his clothes and quietly ask him.

"Guan Gu, what did you do to upset Mei Jia? Is she in a bad mood?"

How would I know?

Guan Gu was on the verge of tears, and poured out his grievances, "Not only did my electric shaver break down for no reason, but Meijia also burned six of my pairs of pants. Six pairs!"

Gu Yifan remained silent. "Could it be that her period has started?"

Guan Gu was bewildered: "What relatives? I've never met them."

Just then, a scream came from inside the house.

"Hey!!!"

Gu Yifan and Guan Gu exchanged a glance—oh no!
The two rushed into the house.

"Mika, are you alright?"

Guan Gu is indeed a kind-hearted person. Even when Mika mistook him for a Japanese person and made fun of him, he still cared about Mika's safety.

Gu Yifan: Wait a minute, speaking of which, isn't Guan Gu Japanese?

Look around the room.

Gu Yifan silently tugged at Guan Gu's sleeve and pointed to the black pants on the ironing table, which were caught in the crossfire and splattered with large patches of shaving cream foam.

There was a section of a popped balloon hanging above it.

"You weren't injured, but congratulations, Guan Gu, you've lost another pair of pants."

Guan Gu's eyes immediately filled with indescribable despair.

"No! This is the last pair of pants I can wear."

Meijia chuckled awkwardly and silently lowered her head.

The tip of his nose still had a playful bit of shaving cream foam clinging to it.

After half an hour.

"Guan Gu-kun, I've put your pants in the washing machine. They'll definitely be dry by tomorrow~"

Meijia handed two glasses of water to Gu Yifan and Guangu, too embarrassed to say anything.

“Guan Gu, you’re about the same height as me, I can lend you some clothes,” Gu Yifan said with a smile as he took the water glass.

Guan Gu has recovered and is eating slightly cold pan-fried buns, nodding slurredly.

"Thank you."

Meijia sat down on the single sofa and said with a smile, "By the way, Yifan, didn't you move to the school dormitory? Why are you back?"

"After military training, I asked Sister Yifei to help me get off-campus accommodation." Gu Yifan stretched and sighed.

"Apartments are still the best."

It's spacious, and everyone has their own room.

"Does that mean Yifan, you're back at the apartment?" Meijia's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise as she happily exclaimed.

"Then I'll cook a big meal tonight to celebrate your return."

"Wanyu went home to see her mother, Gu Yifan went to school, Sister Yifei is busy with school matters every day, and Zhanbo has to go to work."

"Guan Gu stays in the art studio like a shut-in, Teacher Zeng's time difference is inhuman, Zi Qiao, who cares to die."

Meijia felt that the past two weeks had been incredibly boring.

“Okay.” Gu Yifan did not refuse Meijia’s kindness and thought for a moment before saying it.

"But I can't stay up too late tonight, I have to go to the comic artist exchange association with Guan Gu tomorrow."

Meijia was calculating what kind of feast to make for dinner when she heard this. She looked up, her face fell, and her lips pouted so much they could hang a water bottle on them.

"What did you say?"

“I said we can’t stay out too late,” Gu Yifan said innocently.

Meijia pouted, looking unhappy. "The next sentence is, Yifan, are you going to the exchange meeting tomorrow too?"

Seeing that Mika looked utterly devastated.

Gu Yifan turned to look at Guan Gu, casting a questioning glance at him.

"what's the situation?"

"Ahem, Meijia, could you please go to the supermarket and buy two more tubes of shaving cream for me? I've decided to use a manual razor to shave from now on."

Guan Gu made up a random excuse to send Mei Jia away.

Meijia glared resentfully at Guangu, then went downstairs unhappily.

Guan Gu waited until Meijia closed the door before relaxing from his stiff posture and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Well, Mika wanted to go to the exchange meeting with me, but I refused."

"Now I know how your pants and razor died, Guan Gu," Gu Yifan said quietly, his lips twitching slightly.

Guan Gu also looked troubled, "It's not that I don't want to bring Meijia along, but..."

"Guan Gu, hands on hips, complained: 'Last time I went to a comic convention, Meijia couldn't resist going up to chat with the handsome guy cosplaying as Prince of Tennis. And the time before that, someone cosplayed as Garfield, and six security guards couldn't stop Meijia.'"

“Every time Meijia goes to a comic convention and sees a handsome guy, she becomes a crazy person!” Guan Gu said with a look of unspeakable discomfort.

"Tomorrow's manga artist exchange meeting is very important to me. I will be very upset if Mika messes it up."

Gu Yifan understood. "So you rejected Meijia, and Meijia was unhappy, so she burned six pairs of your pants."

Mika's protest was silent.

"Gu Jun, please help me! How can I get Meijia to stay home willingly tomorrow? Please!"

Guan Gu stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Yifan.

"Well," Gu Yifan hesitated, but he couldn't resist the urge to stir things up, so he chuckled and said, "Then let Meijia go with us. It's more fun with more people."

"Guan Gu revealed the dagger at the last moment," he said through gritted teeth.

"If Mika gets carried away again tomorrow and causes a scene at the event, not only will she embarrass me, but Gu Jun, if you want to find a suitable cartoonist, they will also give it serious consideration."

It has a distinct "you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your future employees, do you?" vibe.

That's it! That's it!
Gu Yifan's smile froze. After thinking for a moment, he nodded expressionlessly, "I suddenly feel that it's very necessary to find a way to keep Meijia's heart from causing trouble!"

"Let me think about it." Gu Yifan pinched the bridge of his nose.

Guan Gu waited expectantly to the side.

"How about we buy Meijia a pet?" Gu Yifan thought for a while and then suggested, using the solution Guan Gu had used in the original drama. "Meijia loves animals so much, she should be very happy."

Using a child to hold a mother's heart may be shameful, but it's effective.

Meijia's love for animals is well-known. She often goes downstairs to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood or feeds the koi in the artificial lake with breadcrumbs.

"Oh! Great idea! How come I didn't think of that?" Guan Gu's eyes gradually lit up, and he excitedly stood up. "I'll go to the pet store right now."

"Remember to tell the boss to pick one that's easy to take care of." Gu Yifan scratched the back of his head, feeling like he was doing something wrong against his conscience.

The main issue is that in the storyline, the puppy that Guan Gu bought disappeared.

Who knows if it was given away or died while being raised?

Of course, they definitely can't keep another dog in the show, but who knows if Mika can take good care of it?

For example, Ms. Hu's pet Zhanbo is the only living creature she has raised since he was a baby. It is only because of Zhanbo's tenacious vitality that he has survived until now.

Sadly.

But Guan Gu thought for a moment and then turned back.

"what happened?"

Gu Yifan picked up a pan-fried bun and asked Guan Gu, whose eyes were bright and alert, with a question.

"Yifan, why don't you come with me to pick out a pet?" Guan Gu invited.

"Me? Never mind."

Gu Yifan waved his hand, concealing his merit and fame, and said, "I won't go."

But Guan Gu insisted, "Please, Gu Jun, there's an old saying at your Dongda University..."

"A wise man submits to circumstances?" Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow. Even Guan Gu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, had gone astray.

She wanted to threaten him. If Mika knew that Guan Gu bought her a pet so that she wouldn't go to the comic association with him, she would definitely be angry. That way, she could make him share Mika's anger.

Guan Gu-san, I saw right through your little scheme! (Tongue click)
"No, no, no." Facing the wary Gu Yifan, Guan Gu waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just doing a good deed to the end, seeing things through to the end."

"Wow, Guan Gu, you're quite the expert at reciting proverbs now," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"What kind of language is 'swallow language'? I've only heard of the Analects of Confucius," Guan Gu said innocently.

"Forget it, go explain to your Chinese teacher." Gu Yifan stuffed a pan-fried bun into his mouth and mumbled, "It's not that I don't want to go with you, I just have something to do later."

Gu Yifan was going to look at houses with Nuolan.

Gu Yifan had considered going all out and getting a three-story villa like Zhuge Liang's, which he could definitely afford with his current wealth.

But Nuolan would definitely not accept it; she would only think that Gu Yifan had gone mad.

It's tough. Why is it so difficult to send money out?

"I see." Guan Gu was somewhat disappointed.

"Guan Gu, why do you want me to go with you?" Gu Yifan asked curiously.

Guan Gu was a little embarrassed. "Because you, Yi Fan, are more popular with girls, you understand girls' feelings better than I do, so the pets you choose will probably be more liked by Mei Jia."

Gu Yifan: "."

"Alright, I'll go with you then."

Gu Yifan remembered that there was a pet store on the commercial street downstairs.

I don't know if it's the company where Meijia will work in the future.

Just as the two of them went downstairs, they ran into Meijia, who was returning from grocery shopping.

"Guan Gu, Yi Fan, where are you going?" Mei Jia asked, panting heavily as she carried large and small bags.

"Meijia, why did you buy so much stuff? I didn't just ask you to buy shaving cream," Guan Gu said in surprise.

Meijia rolled her eyes. "Of course I bought the groceries for dinner too. Where are you guys going?"

"I'm going with Guan Gu to buy pants," Gu Yifan replied.

Guan Gu nodded as well.

Upon hearing this, Meijia felt a little guilty. "Then you guys help me carry the groceries first, and I'll go with Guan Gu to buy pants later."

Guan Gu panicked a little when he heard this and quickly waved his hand, "No need, Meijia, you go upstairs first."

He didn't want Mika to know about the pet beforehand, otherwise there would be no surprise.

After saying that, Guan Gu grabbed Gu Yifan and ran off in a flash.

"Hey!"

Meijia looked completely bewildered and muttered, "These two guys are willing to help me carry some groceries! Ugh, it's infuriating! I can manage without a man!"

After saying that, Mika narrowed her eyes again, "But they seem to be acting suspiciously. I wonder if they're hiding something from me."

the other side.

"Phew, thank goodness Mika didn't chase after us," Guan Gu said, patting his chest.

Gu Yifan: "But I feel that by running away, we're making ourselves seem even more guilty."

Guan Gu froze. "What should we do then?"

Gu Yifan shrugged. "Never mind, forget I said anything. Let's go to the pet store first."

Commercial street.

Along the way, many shop owners who saw Gu Yifan stared at him and whispered among themselves.

With his excellent hearing, Gu Yifan caught all the hushed conversation.

"That's him. He beat up seven or eight thugs by himself a few nights ago."

"This young man looks so fair and clean, how come he's such a good fighter?"

"Who can disagree? You can't judge a book by its cover."

Gu Yifan: "."

He seems to have become famous in the commercial district, though not for a bad reason.

Guan Gu ignored the frequent glances from those people, his mind only focused on buying a pet.

Inside the pet store.

The cool breeze blowing from the air conditioner dispels the heat outside.

"Welcome." The shop assistant was dozing off behind the door.

Seeing Guan Gu and Gu Yifan push the door open and come in, he perked up and said, "What kind of pets, pet supplies, or pet food do you two want to buy? We have them all here."

“Let’s take a look first,” Guan Gu replied.

This pet shop is quite large, spacious and bright, and even though the door is closed, there isn't much of an odor.

This proves that the staff cleans the store every day; otherwise, the smell would definitely be unpleasant.

The room is filled with standing glass cabinets, divided into small compartments. On the left side are various cats, on the right side are puppies that are only one or two months old, and in the center is a huge hamster kingdom.

"The cats and dogs here have all the required vaccinations and all the necessary certificates."

"If you take it home and it gets sick within half a month, you can get a full refund. We will also cover any future illnesses."

The shop assistant introduced the product with a smile.

Of course, the prices will be much higher than those of ordinary pet stores.

Guan Gu immediately fell in love with a blue bicolor Ragdoll cat. Its deep blue eyes were incredibly cute, making it Guan Gu's dream cat.

"Yifan, what do you think of this one?" Guan Gu asked Gu Yifan with great interest as he teased the kitten through the glass.

"It can also catch mice, so we won't have to bother Yifei."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't recommend it."

Ragdoll cats are beautiful and affectionate, but they shed a lot.

Especially during the spring and summer molting season, they fly around like dandelions at the slightest touch.

"Teacher Zeng will be driven crazy. Just think, the house is full of cat hair, clothes, pants, and freshly washed sheets," Gu Yifan said, shrugging.

Guan Gu's smile gradually disappeared.
"Sometimes they'll even do parkour, tearing up your hard-earned drawings or knocking over your paint box. Are you sure you're mentally prepared?" Gu Yifan warned Guan Gu.

In the second season, Auntie has just arrived at the apartment.

A stray cat ran into Guan Gu's art studio, making a mess of the studio. Guan Gu's furious state also frightened his aunt.

We should take this as a warning.

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I see."

Guan Gu wasn't worried about the cat getting into the art studio.

But if the shedding is severe, the suite isn't just for him; other people need to be considered.

The saleswoman nodded in agreement, "Ragdoll cats do shed a lot. If that bothers you, Devon cats are a great alternative."

Guan Gu felt it didn't quite fit his aesthetic, so he turned to look at the dogs and was attracted by one of the cute white Bichon Frises.

"Bichon Frises don't shed."

Guan Gu's eyes lit up. "This is good."

"Yifan, what do you think?" Guan Gu turned to ask Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan's expression was somewhat strange. He turned to look at the door and said, "Guan Gu, you keep an eye on things for now. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out of the pet store.

Today, while cultivating in Yunmeng Marsh, you unexpectedly encounter a guardian beast that has fallen from the sky, severely injured and on the verge of death. It urgently needs help. Contacting it will unlock the Beast Taming function!

[The location has been marked on the minimap!]

[Note: This guardian beast is extremely powerful, fierce, and possesses magical power comparable to a powerful being at the Sendai level. Exercise caution when approaching it!]
