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

Chapter 247 Becoming the Man Behind Nolan

Gu Yifan rolled down the car window.

Looking at Nuolan's cheerful giggles, he felt quite helpless.

What can he do when he has a sister who loves to play pranks?

"Sis, when did you get here?" Gu Yifan asked, annoyed.

Nuolan bent down, rested her elbow on the car window, and propped up her fair chin.

"When you were grinning like an idiot, tell me, who were you thinking about just now?"

Beneath the black lace dress, her beautiful legs were faintly visible, and Gu Yifan could even appreciate some of their curves.

Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.

Gu Yifan quickly replied, "Of course I was thinking of you, sister."

"Really?" Nolan didn't believe it.

"Really." Gu Yifan blinked and said earnestly, "I miss you, sis."

Nuolan blushed slightly after hearing this.

Looking at my earnest younger brother, who seemed even more handsome now.

Nuolan's heart softened, and a little bit of secret joy flashed through her mind. She gave Gu Yifan a reproachful look with her beautiful eyes and said in a coquettish voice.

"They just say nice things to coax me, but whether they miss me or are avoiding me, you know the truth."

After saying that, Nuolan walked around the front of the car, went to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in.

As soon as Nuolan sat down, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Gu Yifan subtly sniffed it.

Hmm~ Nolan smells wonderful too.

It was a light, rich orchid-like fragrance. She stood in the sun for a while, then got into the car, and the warm scent of her body filled the air.

Gu Yifan said in a serious tone, "I swear, I definitely missed you. I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Hmm, being a small 100,000 isn't bad either.

When Gu Yifan left in the afternoon, Meijia had already hugged Xiao Shiwan tightly in her arms.

"Seatbelt Sister".

"I know~"

Gu Yifan waited for Nuolan to fasten her seatbelt and started the car. It was already noon, and without asking, Nuolan definitely hadn't eaten.

"Shall we go get something to eat first?"

Gu Yifan turned his head to look at Nuolan and asked.

Once inside the car, Nuolan completely dropped her pretense, lazily stretching like a cat taking a nap on the balcony in the afternoon.

"Whatever, it's up to you. Actually, I'd like to eat your cooking."

As she spoke, Nuolan licked her teeth, savoring Gu Yifan's cooking skills once again.

The day after Gu Yifan and Nuolan returned, he didn't go to school at noon but went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

When I got back, I made a big lunch for my sister.

Nuolan rarely cooks; she usually eats out. Only when she's working overtime or on break and too lazy to go out will she cook instant noodles.

The goddess in the eyes of outsiders also has a lazy and unkempt side.

Gu Yifan's cooking may not be as good as that of chefs in top restaurants, but Nuolan could never forget it after eating it once.

Gu Yifan knew it must be because it was made into spiritual food, equivalent to top-grade medicinal cuisine.

But Nuolan didn't know that; she only attributed it to the fact that Gu Yifan had cooked the meal for her, so it tasted better than any restaurant.

"Later, when we have a new house, we must get a big kitchen so I can cook for you every day," Gu Yifan said.

"Hmph, your little girlfriend is coming back soon, and there's also that clingy Su Weiwei, how can you have so much time to spend with me?" Nuolan pouted, her tone slightly resentful.

"I will try my best to be fair to everyone," Gu Yifan said seriously.

Nuolan was taken aback, then angrily pretended to grab Gu Yifan's ear, "You little brat, you're saying I'm not as good as your girlfriend who you've only been dating for a short time?"

Gu Yifan realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, "Yes, yes, you will always be the most important person in my heart."

"That's pretty much it!"

Nuolan was still angry and pouted, not wanting to talk to Gu Yifan, turning her face to the car window.

At this moment, Gu Yifan thought.

If only he knew some kind of telepathic magic, so he could hear what Nuolan was thinking.

Perhaps she was genuinely tired, or perhaps she felt safe being near Gu Yifan.

Not long after, Nuolan tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep, her hair falling down to her cheeks, revealing her delicate nose and cherry lips painted with slightly shiny lipstick.

Nuolan's makeup was light and fresh, like a lotus flower, pure and unpretentious.

The scene is serene and beautiful.

Gu Yifan didn't wake her. He turned the air conditioner down a bit and then found a decent Cantonese restaurant.

Given her profession, Norlan needs to protect her voice, so she can't eat spicy food and should stick to a light diet.

When it comes to light and nourishing dishes, Cantonese cuisine is definitely number one.

When the car stopped, Nuolan slowly woke up from her dream.

I didn't dream.

Opening her eyes, Nuolan felt refreshed.

"Awake?" Gu Yifan noticed Nuolan open her eyes, turned his head and asked. He had just found a parking space and was backing in. "Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm~" Nuolan let out a lazy nasal sound as an answer, and then stretched.

She discovered that her sleep quality was particularly good whenever Gu Yifan was around.

It's amazing, but it works.

In psychology, this is called emotional dependence.

But Nuolan always felt that it wasn't just that; perhaps it was also related to the scent on Gu Yifan's body. That scent was as warm as sunshine, and her heart gradually calmed down.

Thinking of this, Nuolan felt a pang of resentment. Why couldn't Gu Yifan stay by her side forever?

Gu Yifan parked the car, quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, and ran to the passenger side door to open it for his sister.

"Sister, please get off the bus."

Gu Yifan smiled brightly and said in a serious tone, like a caring butler serving a successful female boss.

Nuolan chuckled inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. She raised her delicate hand, her eyes sparkling with affection.

It's okay, she firmly believes that the estrangement between the two is simply because she was too willful before.

This is what caused her to become distant from Gu Yifan, who was originally very close to him.

Now she has changed.

Given time, she will surely be able to bring Gu Yifan's wandering heart back.

Gu Yifan knew exactly what his sister meant, so he took Nuolan's soft hand in his and pulled her out of the car.

"You're so thoughtful~ Remember, your sister will always be number one in your heart." Nuolan whispered in Gu Yifan's ear.

She then reached out and took Gu Yifan's arm.

The two walked toward the restaurant.

"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Yifan nodded, admitting that Nuolan was his number one sister.

I went into the restaurant and found a quiet booth to sit down.

The waiter handed over the menu, but Gu Yifan didn't even look at it before handing it to Nuolan, clearly trying to portray himself as an obedient and good younger brother.

After all, if they could select a house today, it would be a profit of tens of millions. Nuolan would be like Gu Yifan's god of wealth, and he would have to treat her like a deity.

Oh no, she's 'Little Dragon Girl'. What will happen to Gu Yifan if she becomes a Bodhisattva?

A hint of surprise flashed in Nuolan's beautiful eyes.

Gu Yifan was being too gentle today; she was even a little unaccustomed to it.

If only he could be a good and obedient younger brother every day.

Anyway, Nuolan felt even happier.

After looking at the menu, she ordered a signature steamed clam with egg, steamed grouper, a chicken with ginger and scallion oil, blanched bok choy, and two slow-cooked soups.

Four dishes and a soup are a bit of a luxury for two people.

"What else would you like to eat?" After ordering, Nuolan looked up to ask Gu Yifan for his opinion.

"That's fine then." Gu Yifan had no objections; his appetite wasn't as large as before.

Besides, Nuolan has a small appetite and can't eat much, so he has to finish it off.

Nolan thought for a moment, "You're at the age where you're growing, so let's have half a portion of roast goose too." After saying that, she gracefully handed the menu to the waiter.

Gu Yifan: What the hell is this about growing a body?

He's as strong as an ox now.

Nuolan also noticed Gu Yifan's gaze, and raised an eyebrow, "What, am I wrong?"

"Yes, I'm still a teenager," Gu Yifan said seriously.

"Pfft, what teenager is 1.9 meters tall?" Nuolan laughed, her laughter as gentle as a spring breeze.

After making Nuolan happy, Gu Yifan casually brought up a topic, "By the way, what are you doing at the TV station?"

Nuolan is off today.

“Oh, Lisa asked me to discuss a TV program, but I didn’t think it was suitable for me, so I declined,” Nolan replied.

"What program?" Gu Yifan asked again.

Nuolan said slowly, "It's a female-oriented emotional program, but most of my fans are male."

"Not only would it not improve the ratings, it might also lose our current fan base, so we declined."

"What a pity, this was a great opportunity."

Nuolan deliberately pointed at Gu Yifan and said that most of her fans were male.

The meaning is obvious.

I'm the sweet goddess in the hearts of countless people. Aren't you jealous? Aren't you envious?

To be honest, Nuolan was also puzzled. Who was she, the one revered as a radio goddess?

She's a mainstay of the radio station, and some fans can get excited for half a day just by saying a few words to her.

Why is her silly little brother so indifferent to her? He always manages to make her angry.

If Gu Yifan knew what Nuolan was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes. How could they be the same?

What Nuolan's fans love is the gentle and intellectual older sister Nuolan.

Nolan herself is anything but gentle and intellectual in front of him.

Even if she's not like Hu Yifei, who's always 'oppressing' Zhanbo, she's at least the image of a spoiled princess.

Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sis, do you want to develop your career in television?"

"Who wouldn't want to?" Nuolan got angry again when she saw that Gu Yifan was deliberately ignoring her, and pouted her lips high.

She cursed Gu Yifan in her heart for pretending not to understand several times.

He then poured out his grievances, on the verge of tears.

"But becoming a TV host isn't that easy; you need to have at least one regular show."

"Besides, although I have good treatment at the radio station, there are quite a few people watching me and wanting to cause trouble. If I go on TV programs, the ratings will be too low, and those bastards will just laugh at me behind my back. It's better not to go."

Nuolan became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she leaned on the table with her chin resting on her arm.

If I didn't know that Nolan's status was unmatched, and that she was the one who bullied others at the radio station, never the one being bullied herself.

Gu Yifan thought that Nuolan had suffered a great injustice at the radio station.

Nuolan said this simply to make Gu Yifan feel more sorry for her, his older sister.

Great, now my cheap sister has learned from Su Weiwei too.

Gu Yifan seemed to understand something. "So, you're still missing a good program, huh?"

As a time traveler with experience from the next twenty years, he has plenty of great shows in the future in his mind.

However, Gu Yifan had no intention of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry or becoming a star, so he hadn't thought about these things.

Now Nolan brings it up.

Gu Yifan then realized that he might consider giving the future, those proven and excellent programs to Nuolan.

No matter what, the two are like family, and their relationship is bound by the system, making it impossible for them to separate.

Vincent hasn't appeared yet, so regardless of who's right or wrong in their relationship in the story.

In the end, it all left Nuolan, a rising star in the radio industry, heartbroken and tormented by love, prompting her to voluntarily switch to the midnight slot.

Gu Yifan didn't want to see Nuolan like this!

Could he become the 'man' behind Nolan?

From a radio goddess to a well-known female host on television, and even a nationally renowned host.

Gu Yifan has that confidence!

It seems that the system detected Gu Yifan's thoughts and sent a notification.

[The dragon maiden Nuolan is feeling lost about the future. As her Daoist partner, you can help her make plans for it.]

[You have triggered a series of quests to help the Dragon Fairy complete her cultivation journey. She will become a powerful ally by your side!]

Gu Yifan: As expected!

The system had previously updated the option for fairy career planning.

But only Xinling was triggered; now Nuolan is the second.

"It's not that simple," Nuolan said, shaking her head, unaware of Gu Yifan's thoughts.

"Putting aside the fact that good programs are hard to come by, even if they are, they won't be available to a radio host like me."

As Nuolan said this, a sly glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. She looked at Gu Yifan with watery eyes and said in a coquettish voice, "If my career can't advance any further in the future, I'll come to you, Xiaofan, and you can support me~ okay?"

“Of course.” Gu Yifan nodded immediately.

What? Nuolan wants him to support her? That's great! I'll go all out on the cashback!

"Sister, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. Even if you want to go on a space trip and become a fairy on the moon, I'll grit my teeth and send you there."

"You're such a smooth talker." Nuolan was satisfied. What she wanted wasn't for Gu Yifan to actually spend money to support her, but rather his attitude.

At this moment, the waiter also brought over the dishes.

"I don't need you to support me. A little difficulty can't defeat me, Nuolan," Nuolan said, regaining her composure.
The conversation has temporarily come to an end.

Start eating.

Gu Yifan was secretly searching his mind for memories of those programs from his previous life, trying to see which one would suit Nuolan.

Nuolan used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in Gu Yifan's bowl before picking up a piece for herself.

The food was quite good; the chicken was tender and had a light scallion oil aroma. This Cantonese restaurant was quite authentic, at least that's what Gu Yifan thought.

But Nuolan only picked up a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it suit your taste?"

Gu Yifan asked, puzzled.

“I’m not very hungry, you eat first, I’ll watch you eat,” Nuolan shook her head and replied.

It tastes good, not bad, but it feels like it's missing something compared to what my younger brother makes.

Nolan was a little disappointed.

"Alright then." Gu Yifan shrugged, assuming that Nuolan had no appetite.

Next, Nuolan focused intently on watching Gu Yifan eat; simply watching her younger brother eat was a pleasure.

It feels like watching a mukbang (eating broadcast).

She would only occasionally pick up her chopsticks to take a piece of blanched bok choy or a piece of tender fish, put it in her cherry-like mouth to chew, and then take a sip of hot water.

They might even internally evaluate it.

In summary, nothing she likes is as good as her younger brother's cooking.

After Gu Yifan finished eating two bowls of rice and was about half full, he slowed down his pace of picking up food.

"You can still eat?" Nolan asked, somewhat surprised.

She thought that Gu Yifan had already eaten two bowls of rice, most of a fish, and a serving of ginger and scallion chicken, so he should be full.

"I'm still developing," Gu Yifan shrugged.

Nuolan pouted and muttered, "My good-for-nothing brother."

As Gu Yifan slowed down his eating, he asked Nuolan again, "So what kind of program do you want to make? Or is it still a relationship-themed one?"

You mean TV programs?

"Ah."

Nuolan shook her head, her pretty face showing a hint of confusion.

"Actually, I don't really want to continue making relationship-themed shows anymore; I want to try something different to break through the current trend."

"But I haven't figured out exactly what would be suitable."

"Huh?" Gu Yifan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Why don't you want to do relationship advice programs anymore?"

Nuolan rolled her eyes at him. Don't you know why?

"Perhaps she's gotten tired and weary of playing the role of a confidante."

Nuolan answered absentmindedly, wiping her lips with a tissue.

Gu Yifan then realized, "Sis, you don't want to pretend anymore, huh?"

Nolan: "."

Several dark lines appeared on her fair forehead.

Across the table, he reached out and pinched Gu Yifan's face, "What do you mean you don't want to pretend anymore? Do you want a beating?"

Gu Yifan quickly dodged, "I meant I don't want to pretend anymore. Wearing a mask for too long gets tiring, doesn't it?"

Nuolan froze, then withdrew her hand. Her silly little brother actually understood her quite well.

“There are some thoughts on this.”

Gu Yifan pondered deeply, and soon he had an idea.

Nolan is able to host relationship programs because she is very good at psychology and can quickly judge other people's emotional journey in order to give advice.

This proves that Nolan has a very active mind and is good at debating and persuading others.

The discussion turned to debate and persuasion, as well as Nolan's desire to change her image.

A good idea suddenly popped into Gu Yifan's mind.

"Sis, have you ever considered becoming a debate show host?"

"What do you mean?" Nuolan asked, puzzled.

"It's a show that perfectly showcases your strengths, your eloquence, and your ability to roast people," Gu Yifan said with a mysterious smile.

"Where can you find such a good show?" Nuolan rolled her eyes and asked, taking it as Gu Yifan joking.

"Also, there's still something I don't understand about what you're saying."

When asked by Nuolan, Gu Yifan waved his hand and instead kept her in suspense, saying, "Sister, you just said that Lisa thinks highly of you and wants you to be the host of her show."

“Yes.” Nolan nodded.

"If you take a new program proposal to Lisa, is there any chance she'll adopt it?" Gu Yifan asked again.

"I'm not quite sure about that, but if it's really good, Lisa might consider it. What exactly are you trying to say?" Nolan asked, puzzled.

Gu Yifan said calmly, "I have an idea. Maybe I can design a new program that suits you."

Nolan thought she had misheard. "You're designing a program for me?"

“That’s right.” Gu Yifan nodded.

Nuolan chuckled, "If you wanted to make me happy, then you succeeded."

As expected, Nuolan didn't believe it, and Gu Yifan didn't care either; they'd just wait and see.

"Just wait, I'll be able to show you the plan next week."

After saying that, Gu Yifan wiped his mouth with a tissue and threw it into the trash can.

"Let's go look at houses."

Seeing this, Nuolan was somewhat surprised.

Is he really going to do this?
