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

Chapter 249 Loyal Dog, Yifei, and the Unlocked Bathroom
Night falls.

Gu Yifan also returned to the apartment.

First, Gu Yifan went to 3602 to pick up the little dog. He had also prepared a cake dress for Meijia. But when he opened the door...

Then I saw a little guy, all yellowish-brown, sitting obediently by the door.

It wagged its tail excitedly at Gu Yifan.

Thankfully, Xiao Shiwan looks very energetic.

"Yifan, you're finally back." On the sofa, Lu Ziqiao turned his head and saw Gu Yifan, his eyes lighting up.

In the kitchen, Meijia, who was cooking, poked her head out and said, "Yifan, you're finally back."

One is finally, the other can be counted.

what's the situation?
Gu Yifan squatted down and stroked Xiao Shiwan's head a few times, asking curiously.

"Hmm, you guys don't have to be this happy that I'm back. Did Shiwan cause any trouble this afternoon?"

Meijia took off her apron and rushed over, looking relieved, and poured out her grievances.

"Making trouble? Haha, it hasn't had a moment's peace all afternoon."

Gu Yifan's smile froze, a question mark appearing on his face: "Huh? What's going on?"

Lu Ziqiao shrugged and gestured to Meijia.

According to Meijia's description, the 'crimes' that Xiao Shiwan had uncovered that afternoon gradually came to light.

This little mixed-breed dog was the most difficult and mischievous puppy that Meijia had ever raised.

In the afternoon, while Teacher Zeng opened the door, it secretly slipped out of 3602, ran down the stairs, and roamed around the neighborhood.

If Meijia hadn't discovered that Xiao Shiwan was missing...

They mobilized everyone to search for it.

Finally, Guan Gu found Shi Wan entertaining himself near the lawn downstairs.

Once Gu Yifan returns, he probably won't see it again.

"Sneak out?"

Gu Yifan frowned deeply and looked down at Xiao Shiwan.

Almost 100,000 yuan is gone. I was so excited when I saw Gu Yifan come back just now.

The little dog lowered its head timidly.

This is not over yet.

Even after being caught and brought back, Xiao Shiwan was still restless and always wanted to sneak out.

They almost escaped when they were locked in Guan Gu's room.

Mika: I've never seen such a naughty dog!!!
She spent the entire afternoon witting and outmaneuvering Xiao Shiwan.

Meijia found it strange that this little mongrel seemed to have an insatiable amount of energy.

This was completely different from the pitiful image Gu Yifan had found her in the morning, when she was starving and unable to move.

Gu Yifan's lips twitched more and more as he listened. Even though he was prepared for the little 100,000 to cause trouble, he never expected it to sneak out.

This won't do; he needs to be properly educated.

This also proves that Xiao Shiwan is exceptionally intelligent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to slip away so easily.

"What's going on? You dare to run off on your own? Do you want to become a Primordial Wandering Saint Body, huh?"

Gu Yifan solemnly pinched the back of Xiao Shiwan's neck and lifted it in front of his face.

Xiao Shiwan seemed to know that his bad deeds had been exposed.

It whimpered and begged for mercy, its cute little dog face showing a hint of grievance.

"No more acting cute, do you know that's wrong?" Gu Yifan, with a heart of stone, lightly flicked Xiao Shiwan's nose.

He didn't want to come home one day and find that his 100,000 yuan had disappeared.

"Looks like I'll have to buy a cage and lock you up."

As he spoke, Gu Yifan felt a headache coming on again.

Xiao Shiwan is so smart, it would be difficult to keep him in a regular dog cage. As for a lockable cage, who needs to lock their dog cage?

"Dude, I suggest you go downstairs and find Xiao Hei. Ask him to get you a cage with a lock, and it has to be a combination lock!" Zi Qiao said gleefully.

Xiao Shiwan seemed to know he was giving bad advice, and actually turned to look at him.

Gu Yifan nodded, "Okay, Ziqiao, go ask for me. If it's possible, I'll place an order."

No matter how pitiful Xiao Shiwan tried to act, Gu Yifan remained heartless unless it became more obedient.

at this time.

[The spirit beast 'Ten Thousand Divine Dogs' has successfully recognized its master!]

I wasn't looking for you on purpose.

A sweet, childlike voice suddenly echoed in Gu Yifan's mind.

With a hint of grievance and anxiety.

"Huh?" Gu Yifan was taken aback.

Who spoke?

"What are you saying?" Meijia softened a little and stepped forward to hug Xiao Shiwan.

But Little Ten Thousand didn't appreciate it. It barked and struggled.

"You bad guy, you snitch!"

The voice appeared again, like a little girl's voice.

Gu Yifan suddenly realized, and stared wide-eyed at Xiao Shiwan, who had been put on the ground by Meijia and then ran to his feet, circling around.

Could that sound just now have been from Xiao Shiwan?

Is it really a spirit beast?

"What's wrong with the system?"

[The divine dog has recognized you as its master. You have automatically learned the secret techniques of the Beast Taming Sect, allowing you to communicate with your beast telepathically!]

Damn, it really is.

Gu Yifan's expression turned strange as he looked down at Xiao Shiwan, who was still humming.

"Looking for you. Looking for you."

What does it mean?
Gu Yifan tentatively asked, "One hundred thousand?"

Xiao Shiwan stopped, looked up at him, and her large, black, pearl-like eyes seemed to show some surprise, as if to say, 'How come I suddenly understand what you're saying?'

"Got it, buddy." Lu Ziqiao hung up the phone and walked over. "Xiao Hei said it's no problem, he can get the cage done for you tomorrow, but there will be some material processing fees."

"No problem." Gu Yifan nodded.

Ziqiao chuckled.

"Done! Xiao Hei wants 100 yuan for processing, and as the middleman, it's not unreasonable for me to make an extra 200 yuan, right?"

As Ziqiao thought about it, he reached out without any warning, wanting to pat Xiao Shiwan's head.

The result is the next second.

"Ouch!!!"

Zi Qiao cried out in pain as Xiao Shiwan bit his finger.

"Bad guy. A malicious bad guy!" Little Ten Thousand uttered a low growl.

"Let go! Let go now!" Ziqiao cried out in agony.

"Ten thousand, give in!" Gu Yifan hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Shiwan, who was unmoved by Zi Qiao's screams, immediately spat out Lu Zi Qiao's finger when Gu Yifan spoke.

The puppy's face suddenly showed a wary expression.

"Hiss, Old Gu, you dog, you wouldn't understand what I'm saying, would you? Are you going to retaliate against me?"

Ziqiao frowned, quickly raised his finger, and examined it carefully again and again.

Fortunately, there were only a few teeth marks and the bite didn't break the skin, saving me the trouble of getting a rabies vaccine, which is said to be very painful.

"Little Ten Thousand bites well."

Meijia, however, beamed with joy, praising Xiao Shiwan and tentatively reaching out to touch it.

"You can't bite me, okay? I'll feed you something delicious this afternoon."

Sure enough, Meijia's hand touched Xiao Shiwan's head smoothly without any problem.

Ziqiao was filled with grief and indignation. "Damn it, this is discrimination. It must be because Xiao Shiwan is a female dog, and she's in cahoots with you!"

"Bullshit, it bit you because you had ulterior motives!" Meijia glanced at Lu Ziqiao.

"Is it really that smart?" Lu Ziqiao asked incredulously.

Seeing that Ziqiao's finger was fine, Gu Yifan ignored Ziqiao and had another guess in his mind. He lowered his head and asked Xiao Shiwan in a low voice.

"Did you miss me? Is that why you decided to go out and look for me this afternoon?"

Gu Yifan added, "If so, just say so."

"I think it's just being playful. Old Gu, you're overthinking it." Zi Qiao said indignantly. A dog is a dog. How could it be so small and understand human speech? Even a three or four-year-old child might not understand what an adult is saying.

"This bite, you little mongrel! I'll show you how expensive it is! I'm going to make four hundred bucks off your owner now!"

Meijia was really looking forward to it. Although Xiao Shiwan was a bit naughty, it also proved that it would definitely be very smart when it grew up.

Moreover, if Xiao Shiwan agrees, then it won't be being naughty in the afternoon, but rather wanting to find its 'master'; it will be showing loyalty.

Little Ten Thousand seemed to understand Gu Yifan's meaning and barked without hesitation.

"I'm looking for you."

Indeed, Gu Yifan was quite shocked.

Even Lu Ziqiao and Meijia were shocked. "Holy crap, no way?"

"Is this dog so amazing?" Lu Ziqiao wasn't angry at being bitten, and even came closer without any hesitation. "So, you asked your Uncle Lu for a cage because he wanted to make one for you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Little Ten Thousand turned his head to look at him with a fierce yet adorable expression and barked.

Lu Ziqiao: "."

"Guan Gu, Teacher Zeng, come out and see this genius!!!"

Gu Yifan felt somewhat guilty towards Xiao Shiwan.

What bad intentions could a puppy have? It just wants to find its owner and is afraid of being abandoned.

It turns out that Xiao Shiwan wasn't being naughty and trying to run away, but rather he was determined to 'escape' all afternoon in order to find him.

At this moment, Guan Gu and Teacher Zeng also came out of the room.

After hearing what Meijia said, the two of them were still half-believing and half-doubting.

The group tried it out briefly.

They opened the door and let Gu Yifan sit on the sofa to watch TV, while everyone else went to the balcony.

Xiao Shiwan quietly squatted at Gu Yifan's feet, not even glancing at the open door.

Zeng Xiaoxian didn't believe in superstitions and told Gu Yifan to go outside, leaving Xiao Shiwan locked inside.

Now Xiao Shiwan was getting anxious again and started whimpering and scratching at the door.

Now it's confirmed that the little guy has truly accepted Gu Yifan as his master.

"How come I've never met such a smart dog before?" Zeng Xiaoxian said with envy.

Meijia was so moved that she cried her eyes out, hugging Xiao Shiwan tightly. "It was my fault for misunderstanding you, Xiao Shiwan. So you wanted to find your father, didn't you?"

Lu Ziqiao's eyes flickered as he moved closer to Gu Yifan. "Old Gu, let's talk about something."

"roll."

Gu Yifan glanced at Zi Qiao and uttered a single word.

This guy clearly has ulterior motives; he probably wants Xiao Shiwan to help him pick up girls.

Lu Ziqiao shrugged. "Okay."

"Hachiko! This is Hachiko!" Guan Gu shouted excitedly.

Gu Yifan had witnessed just how human-like the "intelligent understanding of human nature" in the talent of the little 100,000 was.

Just like a normal child, there's no difference.

Soon, Ms. Hu and her dim-witted younger brother also found out about it.

Hu Yifei was impressed with Xiao Shiwan and praised it highly; she liked loyal and good dogs.

At the dinner table, Guan Gu told the story of Hachiko, the loyal dog.

It is the story of a white Akita dog named Hachiko who waited patiently at the station entrance for his owner his entire life.

Everyone was moved again, especially Meijia, who said that Xiao Shiwan is not a mongrel, but a purebred Matsu Inu, and the ancestor of Akita and Shiba Inu.

Ms. Hu's gaze towards Gu Yifan changed; her eyes were intense, as if she wanted to take away Xiao Shiwan's custody.

Fortunately, Zhanbo persuaded her that Xiao Shiwan had already recognized its owner, and it would be useless for Yifei to take it away; she would just end up being bitten like Ziqiao, who served as a negative example.

Ms. Hu reluctantly gave up the idea.

"Come on, let's have a toast to celebrate Yifan's return to the apartment, to Guan Gu's upcoming comic, and to our loyal Xiao Shiwan."

Tonight, Chef Meijia raised her glass and said with a smile.

Everyone turned to look at Gu Yifan, chattering, "Welcome back!"

"We're still waiting for you to play CS."

"The second biggest cartoonist in the apartment."

Seeing everyone's smiling faces, Gu Yifan felt indescribably moved.

Although he has only been in the apartment for six months, he has already fully integrated into the community.

"Thank you everyone." Gu Yifan then announced some good news.

“Wanyu will be back soon. She called me and said that her dad plans to fund the renovation of 3601 and 3602.”

"real!"

"That's great."

"Could we install a pool table in the living room so we can play pool anytime, anywhere?" Ziqiao asked with great interest.

"It's a renovation, not a reopening. You're dreaming," Meijia said, pouting.

Everyone was very excited.

Only Ms. Hu's smile seemed forced after hearing this, and she looked dejected.

"By the way, this is the Kobe beef I made. Everyone can try it."

"Wow, give me one."

"I also want."

Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian were the first to pick up a fragrant piece of 'Kobe beef' and put it in their mouths to refuse.

"Mmm~ It smells delicious and has a great chewy texture!" Zeng Xiaoxian said excitedly.

Seeing this, everyone picked up a piece of food with their chopsticks, and Gu Yifan was no exception.

However, this Kobe beef was unusually chewy.

"It smells really good, but it's too hard to chew. Meijia, did you overcook it?" Zhanbo asked.

"How is that possible!" Mika refused to believe it and picked up a piece herself.

After a while.

"It seems a bit hard to chew."

Ziqiao frowned. "Teacher Zeng, did you swallow it?"

Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head, "Not yet."

At this moment, Gu Yifan suddenly realized something, his body stiffened, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he asked Meijia.

"Mika, where did you get this Kobe beef?"

"Oh, I bought it at the supermarket this morning," Meijia replied, frowning as she admitted, "Okay, maybe I overcooked it. Strange, it's not beef. Did I take the wrong one?"

"what happened?"

"Phew, it's nothing." Gu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't eat dog food again.

Yes, it's real beef.

It was just before 10 o'clock after we finished eating.

Everyone was slightly tipsy and excited, and they were ready to take advantage of the weekend to go to the bar for a second round.

Gu Yifan told them to go ahead, and that he would go back to his room to take a shower before coming down later.

He carried the small sum of money back to his room.

Gu Yifan first took out the 'Spirit Beast Pills' and gave Xiao Shiwan a few.

After Xiao Shiwan finished eating, Gu Yifan picked up the puppy and began 'preschool education'.

Although Xiao Shiwan didn't bite Ziqiao, it was still wrong.

Gu Yifan pinched Xiao Shiwan's pink nose seriously, "You're not allowed to bite people or dogs anymore, understand? That's wrong."

Xiao Shiwan expressed his confusion.

It seems to be asking why.

"Because if you bite someone else, you will be captured and never see me again, nor will you be able to eat any good food," Gu Yifan coaxed patiently.

"So, unless I tell you to, you're not allowed to bite people or dogs without permission, understand?"

"Also, if I go out without you, you stay home obediently. I'll be back soon, so don't sneak out again."

Little Ten Thousand let out a soft whimper, indicating that it understood.

"Good dog."

After Gu Yifan finished educating Xiao Shiwan and rewarded it with some ordinary dog ​​treats, he put it down and prepared to take a bath.

bathroom
Gu Yifan filled the bathtub with water, listening to the rushing sound of the water.

"Did I forget something?"

Gu Yifan thought for a long time before suddenly remembering the rebate. He slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about it.

The main thing was being able to communicate with Xiao Shiwan, which was so interesting that I forgot about it.

Now it's time to see what kind of cashback is available.

Gu Yifan summoned the system.

Come on, let me see the real world of cultivation!

Elixirs and magical treasures!

"Breakthrough Pill"

Gu Yifan's smile froze.
Apartment downstairs.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go upstairs to get something."

The group, except for Gu Yifan, went downstairs in a large group, intending to stroll to the commercial street to go to a bar and continue having fun.

Hu Yifei paused for a moment on the steps in front of the door.

"Sis, what do you need? I'll get it for you."

Beside Hu Yifei, Zhanbo, who had just been scolded by his older sister that morning, saw this as an opportunity to show that he was a good younger brother, so he immediately volunteered and tried to please her.

He didn't notice that his older sister's gaze towards him had become somewhat dangerous.

"No, go play."

"Really, you don't need to."

Zhanbo found it strange; usually, his older sister would directly order him around and make him run errands at times like this.

Why did you change your mind today?

"I said I don't need it, and I don't need it!" Hu Yifei glared at her good-for-nothing brother and said irritably.

Watching Hu Yifei's hurried departure.

Zhanbo still felt something was off and scratched the back of his head.

No, it seems like my older sister's mood has been off since dinner tonight.

"What's going on, Zhanbo?" Zeng Xiaoxian came over and put his arm around Zhanbo's shoulder, asking curiously, "Where did Yifei go?"

"I don't know. My sister seemed to be in a bad mood when we went upstairs to get something," Zhanbo replied.

"Tch, I bet someone's upset with her again," Zeng Xiaoxian said nonchalantly. "If you ask me, your older sister just has too much male hormone, and she's also irritable and easily angered."

"Maybe." Zhanbo shook his head.

"Alright, forget about your sister. She's so close by. Are you worried about some pervert harassing Hu Yifei?"

"This?" Zhanbo chuckled dryly, not even believing it himself.

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled mischievously and pulled Zhanbo forward.

I was almost out of the residential area.

Zhanbo suddenly realized when his older sister had started to lose her temper.

It seems that Wanyu is coming back, and her father is going to fund the renovation of the suite.

Could it be that.
Zhanbo suddenly realized, he understood!
His older sister is very territorial, and she's probably unhappy about the renovations but feels awkward refusing to go.

Zhanbo believed he had found the reason.

So what is the real truth?
In the elevator.

It was very quiet, and Hu Yifei's pretty face was full of confusion.

Zhanbo guessed half of it correctly.

His older sister was troubled by Gu Yifan's words, but her troubles weren't about the renovations; they were about Wanyu coming back.

It felt like Wanyu had only been home for a few days.

Gu Yifan had just returned to his apartment.

But now, Wanyu is coming back.

Ms. Hu appears decisive and daring on the surface, but in reality, she has a vulnerable and girlish side.

Especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Hu Yifei didn't want to make a choice, and it was difficult for her to make one.

But now, fate seems to have reached the edge of a fork in the road.

Taking a step forward might lead to an abyss, while taking a step back might lead to a vast and open sky.

But Ms. Hu was unwilling to back down.
During dinner just now, Hu Yifei thought a lot and decided to take advantage of the time when everyone was away to have a good talk with Gu Yifan.

Let's talk about their relationship.
How exactly should this development proceed?

Standing at the door of apartment 3601, Hu Yifei took a deep breath before taking out her key and pushing the door open to enter the suite.
