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

Chapter 78 Jealousy Runs Rampant
Sure enough, after Gu Yifan's encouragement and persuasion (a mix of coaxing and deception),

Xinling was somewhat tempted.

Although she doesn't know anything about nail art, she's willing to put in the effort to learn it.

It doesn't sound too difficult, and it's always good to give it a try. It would be even better if you could make money.

Xinling also had her own little scheme in mind; this way, she would have more excuses to contact Gu Yifan.

Although it seems that Yifan likes Wanyu.

But Cindy wouldn't give up; she secretly told herself she couldn't be too hasty.

It would be good if we could maintain the current relationship and let it continue to develop. There will definitely be opportunities in the future.

Cyndi knows how to be content.

Gu Yifan then planned to go back and ask Lin Wanyu if she knew anything about nail art.

It seems that Lin Wanyu, who previously felt guilty towards Xinling, would agree to help her.

To do this, it's all about aesthetics and dexterity. Xinling has the dexterity to make beautiful and exquisite nail art, and as for aesthetics, who can have a higher aesthetic sense than Miss Lin?

Under Gu Yifan's well-organized plan, Xinling temporarily put aside the matter of the clothes, her little head still a bit dazed.

Before Xinling could react, Gu Yifan glanced at his watch and saw it was almost seven o'clock, so he prepared to leave.

"Let me treat you to dinner, Yifan." Xinling had extended the invitation countless times, and she looked at Gu Yifan with anticipation.

This time, Gu Yifan did not refuse.

Xinling originally wanted to choose something more expensive, like hot pot or barbecue, but Gu Yifan chose a rice noodle shop.

"It's a pity that my rented room doesn't have a kitchen, otherwise I could cook for Brother Yifan."

Inside the rice noodle shop, Xinling said with some regret.

"Then wait until you've made enough money and rented a nicer place before you cook for me," Gu Yifan said casually.

Xinling nodded and said very seriously, "Yes! Before that, I will study hard and try to cook a big meal for you, Brother Yifan."

"I'd also like to eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast," Gu Yifan chuckled.

Xinling lowered her head shyly and murmured, "Then I'll learn more, and I'll be able to do it sooner or later."

After she finished speaking, Xinling didn't get a reply from Gu Yifan, so she looked up and found that Gu Yifan was staring at her.

Xinling's face flushed even more, and she stammered, "W-what's wrong?"

"You're so silly. How could I possibly finish a Manchu Han Imperial Feast by myself?" Gu Yifan shook his head and said, "Do you think I'm the emperor?"

Xinling didn't reply, silently eating her rice noodles, but in her heart she thought that although he wasn't the emperor, she was willing to serve him as if he were an emperor.

After the two finished their meal, it was getting late and the night was getting dark.

Xinling thought it was inconvenient for Gu Yifan to carry so many things, so she wanted to take him back.

Gu Yifan said he would drop her off first, and that he would arrive after crossing the street.

Cyndi couldn't refuse.

She found that whenever Gu Yifan looked at her, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

The thought that she had spent almost the entire day with Gu Yifan brought a smile to Xinling's face as she tried to put Wanyu's matter aside.

The two strolled side by side toward the Aisen Apartments.

Xinling stared intently at the streetlights, watching her own shadow stretch long and narrow, gradually merging with Gu Yifan's shadow, and felt secretly pleased.

Gu Yifan, however, was considering something else.

He was so busy buying clothes for Cyndi that he forgot about Lin Wanyu.

The plan to simultaneously offer rebates to two people appears to have failed.

However, Gu Yifan didn't think that Miss Lin would be interested in the mid-range women's clothing or bags in the mall.

Buying things for Lin Wanyu is a bit difficult.

He can't afford expensive things, and Lin Wanyu isn't as easily fooled as Xinling. What reason would he give for giving her something too expensive?

Looking back now, Cyndi Wang is actually the easiest one to swipe.

The two passed by a toy store.

Cyndi's gaze was drawn to two oversized plush toys in the toy store window.

Those were two strawberry bear plush toys, each about the size of a person, dressed in cute little clothes and with bows tied around their necks.

Xinling's beautiful eyes lingered on it, then she looked away with some reluctance. The teddy bear stirred up memories for Xinling.

She loved plush toys when she was a child, but unfortunately the orphanage was in financial difficulty and naturally couldn't buy the children various toys.

The few toys that exist were all donated.

Cyndi's memory is very vivid.

On one occasion, during a toy donation drive, each child could choose one toy.

There was a very pretty plush toy among the toys that she really liked, but before she could get her share, an older boy snatched it away.

Young Cyndi didn't sleep well all night, thinking about that pretty teddy bear. She really liked it!
But when she mustered up the courage the next day and tried to exchange the toy car she had specially brought with her,

The little bear plush toy had already been cut to pieces by the boy with scissors. He said he wanted to see what was inside the bear's belly.

Gu Yifan noticed Xinling's pause and turned to look in the direction of her gaze.

"You're so old and you still like plush toys?"

Upon hearing this, Xinling snapped out of her reverie and lowered her head, saying, "No, no, I just thought it was quite pretty."

After saying that, Xinling took the initiative to start walking, "Let's go."

Although she didn't have a teddy bear, Cyndi was already very satisfied to be able to spend the whole day with the person she liked.

She's grown up now and doesn't need to want children's toys anymore.

The two then left the toy store and continued walking.

Even the longest road eventually comes to an end, let alone the short distance from the mall to Aisen Apartments.

Xinling had no reason to keep Gu Yifan any longer, so she took a step up the stairs, just level with Gu Yifan.

"Then, Brother Yifan, I'll go up first."

Xinling turned around, lowered her head, and whispered to Gu Yifan.

After saying that, she remembered something, "Oh right, there are also clothes."

Xinling remembered that she was still wearing the clothes that Gu Yifan was going to give to Wanyu, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you come upstairs with me, Yifan, and I'll change my clothes?"

Xinling tried hard to hide it, but she couldn't suppress the envy in her voice.

"Yeah, that's okay."

Gu Yifan nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said casually.

"Okay, I'll leave the clothes with you first. I'll go to the toy store and buy Wanyu a toy. I'll come back to pick it up later."

Gu Yifan pointed to the road they had come from.

Xinling didn't suspect anything, but her mood became even more depressed, and she forced a smile onto her face.

"Brother Yifan is so good to Sister Wanyu. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first."

"See you later."

Gu Yifan answered crisply, "Go on up now."

Before Xinling could respond, Gu Yifan turned and left in a hurry, as if he had something important to do.

Watching Gu Yifan's retreating figure, Xinling felt a little disappointed. It seemed that Brother Yifan only pitied her and did not have any feelings for her.
But Cyndi still smiled and waved goodbye to Gu Yifan as he walked away.

"Be careful on the road~"

"Well, go back."

Gu Yifan walked away without looking back, and didn't notice Xinling's somewhat disappointed expression and red eyes in front of the apartment.

Xinling waited until Gu Yifan disappeared at the intersection before turning around, picking up her shopping bags, and walking into the apartment building.

They happened to run into the 'Hehuan Sect demoness' who lived across the hall and whom Xinling had met when she rented the apartment.

The other person was dressed in a flamboyant manner, clearly about to go out.

The two looked at each other.

The woman glanced at Xinling, her expression clearly showing surprise.

Xinling originally wanted to avoid some things, but for some reason, she remembered Gu Yifan's words today, telling her to hold her head high and stand tall.

So, Cyndi straightened her back, walked straight past the other person, and went up the stairs.
