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

Chapter 99 Lin Wanyu: Don't be too nice to me, I'm not used to it.

The night is both long and short.

But in any case, the sun will rise as usual the next day.

Gu Yifan devised a plan to level up quickly.

Yesterday, on his way back to his apartment from the hospital, he went to the supermarket and bought a lot of ingredients and fruits for making candied hawthorn.

That's right, he needs to take drugs to boost his spiritual energy.

After all, he's cultivating now, not just for himself.

So early in the morning, Gu Yifan got up and started busying himself, preparing to make candied hawthorns, or rather, to be precise, to refine medicine.

Lin Wanyu got up early and walked out of her room, stretching on the railing.

When she looked down, she saw Gu Yifan busy in the kitchen and for a moment thought she was still asleep.

"Huh? Why is Gu Yifan up so early?"

Lin Wanyu rubbed her eyes upstairs, took a closer look, and then tiptoed downstairs.

She originally got up so early to buy breakfast.

Last night, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but ask Chen Meijia about her troubles.

She worried that Gu Yifan was being so nice to Xinling because he liked her.

But Meijia told Lin Wanyu that she was just being overly concerned.

Let's not even mention that Gu Yifan and Xinling have only known each other for a few days.

This actually makes it more apparent that he has a kind heart and a good nature.

If Gu Yifan is willing to lend a helping hand to people he has just met, then he would be even more willing to do so for her.

Understand the applause.

Even if we take a step back and say...

Xinling is lying in a hospital bed and is unlikely to wake up. What is there to worry about?

Gu Yifan is Lin Wanyu's boyfriend!
Meijia advised her not to worry too much.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Meijia was right.

However, she felt she needed to hurry as well.

Because Lin Wanyu knew that Gu Yifan was not her boyfriend yet.

Lin Wanyu humbly asked Meijia how to enhance their relationship more quickly without involving too much intimate contact.

The answer is...

To win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach.

So Lin Wanyu got up early, intending to win over Gu Yifan's stomach with breakfast from the shopping street downstairs.
ummm
It's just that Lin Wanyu doesn't have Meijia's excellent cooking skills.

Lin Wanyu tiptoed up to stand behind Gu Yifan and curiously peeked out to observe Gu Yifan making candied hawthorns.

Sure enough, Lin Wanyu remembered those delicious candied hawthorns.

And~
Lin Wanyu's cheeks flushed slightly. Gu Yifan looked quite handsome when he was serious, and the way he wore an apron was also very charming.

What to do? She felt that Gu Yifan was getting more and more handsome, and she liked him more and more.

Perhaps this is a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder?

She just couldn't understand why anyone would get up so early in the morning to make candied hawthorns. Could it be...?
"Gu Yifan, what are you doing?"

A sound suddenly came from behind, and Gu Yifan's hand trembled, causing the skewered hawthorns to fall.

It rolled a few times on the ground and came to Lin Wanyu's feet.

"."

Gu Yifan silently turned his head and looked at Lin Wanyu.

Lin Wanyu felt slightly embarrassed, realizing that her sudden outburst had indeed been a bit startling.

She coughed, bent down to pick up the hawthorn balls, but didn't notice that the buttons on her pajamas weren't fastened properly.

As a result, a large expanse of white skin was displayed before Gu Yifan's eyes, and the shape of a strawberry cream cake shaped like an inverted bowl could be vaguely seen.

Gu Yifan: "."

When Lin Wanyu stood up, holding the hawthorn ball in her delicate fingers, she blew on the hawthorn, and without caring about getting it dirty, took a small bite.

His facial features immediately scrunched up.

"Ouch, it's so sour."

"It'll be sweeter in a while," Gu Yifan said, turning his gaze away.

I didn't expect Lin Daiyu to give out goodies so early in the morning.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"I'm going to the bathroom," Lin Wanyu said, curiously leaning forward and pressing her petite body against Gu Yifan's side.

Lin Wanyu looked down at the mountain of hawthorns piled up in the pool and hesitated.

"Gu Yifan, you're not thinking of setting up a stall to sell candied hawthorns to raise money for Xinling's medical expenses, are you?"

Gu Yifan could smell a faint fragrance on Lin Wanyu. The two were standing a little close together, so he moved away a bit and casually said, "No, I'll cook for myself."

Lin Wanyu didn't believe it. She looked at Gu Yifan suspiciously, "Are you Marshal Tianpeng? How can you eat so much?"

“There are other people in the apartment, so we can eat together,” Gu Yifan explained.

"Oh, I see." Lin Wanyu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll help you."

Lin Daiyu rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white forearms, ready to join in as well.

It's definitely not because she had nothing better to do and thought making candied hawthorns was interesting.

"No, no need," Gu Yifan quickly stopped her.

Who knows if Lin Wanyu's help will make the pill a success or not.

"Hey, don't be so polite, you'll be working on this for ages." Lin Wanyu insisted on helping.

"Really, you don't need to." Gu Yifan stopped Lin Wanyu from taking the hawthorn basket.

But as the saying goes, if you try to lead someone by the hand, they won't move; if you hit them, they'll just

I'm talking about Miss Lin.

The more Gu Yifan refused, the more determined she became.

"Alright then." Lin Wanyu pouted and nodded, seemingly giving up, and turned to go to the refrigerator.

But she hadn't taken more than two steps when she suddenly turned around and snatched the basket of hawthorns that Gu Yifan was carrying.

But Gu Yifan was also wary of her doing this, so he immediately took a step forward.

结果
"Oh!"

Lin Wanyu bumped her head into Gu Yifan's chin, but fortunately there were two soft sandbags to cushion the impact, preventing further injury.

Gu Yifan felt as if a bull was charging straight at him.

[You have been struck by Fairy Lin's attack, reducing your health by 30!]

"Well"

This was a lose-lose struggle.

Lin Wanyu was also feeling unwell. She felt as if she had crashed into a mountain, especially the part that served as a buffer, which felt like it was about to burst.

The two of them, one covering his chin and the other rubbing his chest, took a long time to recover.

A moment later, Lin Wanyu confronted Gu Yifan angrily, demanding, "Gu Yifan, why didn't you ask for my help?"

She felt that Gu Yifan was sincere, "Or do you have some kind of problem with me?"

Facing Lin Wanyu, who was holding her head high and looked aggrieved, Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Okay, to be honest, these hawthorns were actually meant for you to make candied hawthorn skewers, but I wanted to make them myself; that way, it would show more sincerity."

"So, you don't need to help."

Lin Wanyu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Looking into Gu Yifan's sincere gaze.

Her pretty face turned bright red like a boiling kettle, and steam was practically rising from her head.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. What did Gu Yifan say?
He got up very early in the morning just to make her candied hawthorns by hand (*▽)
This was the first time Lin Wanyu had heard Gu Yifan express his feelings for her so directly, except for the time they met in the hospital.

Lin Wanyu's heart was now filled with joy and shyness, and she lowered her head and stammered.

"What do you mean by that? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Gu Yifan found it rather cute to see Miss Lin's ears turn red.

"I was planning to surprise you, but I didn't expect you to wake up so early."

Lin Wanyu's heart started beating even faster.

Her worries about Gu Yifan liking Xinling also vanished.

Mika is absolutely right.

When you treat a guy nicely first and he feels it, he'll reciprocate by treating you nicely in return.

Lin Wanyu blushed, her little hands twisting and rubbing Gu Yifan's clothes shyly, and said, "But... I can't eat that much either, you... you're feeding a pig."

Gu Yifan discovered that coaxing girls was actually quite simple, not as troublesome as he had imagined.

Having learned from experience, Gu Yifan naturally said, "You can have it first, and if you can't finish it, we can share it with everyone else."

Lin Wanyu was overjoyed!

Although she really wanted to say that she wanted it all, and would be happy even if she couldn't finish it all, Lin Wanyu felt that she couldn't be as willful as before.

Lin Wanyu smiled magnanimously, took Gu Yifan's arm and shook it, "Then~ I'll take half, and the rest can be given to Feifei and the others to try."

Gu Yifan fell silent. He looked at the six pounds of hawthorns in the basin. Good heavens, he wanted half of them?
Lin Wanyu lost all her teeth after eating that.

However, Gu Yifan thought that Lu Ziqiao's quotes were actually quite useful, so he went along with it and said, "Yeah, they're all yours."

Sure enough, Lin Wanyu was as happy as a joyful little swallow, almost flying away. She said that girls who get up early are lucky.

Gu Yifan broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this outcome, so he sold a lot more than he expected. In short, this much was enough for him to break through.

Before Lin Wanyu could even calm down for a moment...

She felt a little guilty, since she had insisted on doing so and ruined a small part of the surprise.

"Gu Yifan~ Actually, I can't eat this much. You can just make some for me first." Lin Wanyu said to Gu Yifan as she brought over a cup of milk with the packaging cut open and the contents poured into it.

"That way, it won't spoil. You can make it for me again whenever I want to eat it."

Lin Wanyu is quite the clever little devil.

Gu Yifan only found Lin Wanyu noisy; women only hindered his leveling speed.

"It's okay, it's already been washed, so there's no way to put it away."

Lin Wanyu then said with a hint of regret, before eagerly raising her cup, "Alright then, here, you drink milk, I poured it especially for you~"

Gu Yifan initially wanted to refuse, saying, "You drink first, I'll wait a bit."

But he didn't finish.

Gu Yifan suddenly remembered that everything Lin Wanyu had given him had been classified as treasures by the system.
What if Lin Wanyu made the candied hawthorn herself? No, what if she made the barrier-breaking pill?
Damn, how could he forget about that?

How stupid.

Lin Wanyu was a little unhappy that Gu Yifan wouldn't drink the milk she had poured, so she secretly stuck her tongue out at Gu Yifan.

As a result, Gu Yifan suddenly turned his head and stared straight at her.

Lin Wanyu was startled and quickly lowered her head, feigning shyness. "What's wrong?"

"Wanyu, you're a genius!"

As Gu Yifan spoke, he took the glass from Lin Wanyu, who was completely unaware of what was going on, and downed it in one gulp.

really!

You have consumed the rare and precious herb "Snowfall Jade Elixir" given to you by Fairy Lin.

[Attention! This treasure can only be used once in a lifetime. Repeated use is ineffective. It is an extremely precious natural treasure even for cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage. Only you, at the Qi Refining stage, cannot fully absorb its effects, but you will still experience a significant improvement.]

[Constitution +2, Stamina +3, Breakthrough Level +1]

[Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining! You are only one step away from breaking through to the tenth level and becoming a cultivator. Please keep up the good work!]

Lin Wanyu stared blankly at Gu Yifan, who had downed the milk in one gulp.

A trickle of milk flowed down the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his Adam's apple and collarbone, sliding down little by little.

"Gulp." A series of thoughts immediately began to wander in Lin Daiyu's little head.

Lin Wanyu stammered, "Gu Yifan, didn't you say you wouldn't drink?"

"Who told you to spill it?" When Lin Wanyu heard Gu Yifan's reply, her head buzzed and completely exploded.

Happiness came so suddenly that Lin Wanyu even felt a little unreal.

Is this still the same straight-laced Gu Yifan?

Is he sincere?

It must be! Gu Yifan is so straightforward; he only speaks his true feelings.
So, so~
Gu Yifan was just saying it casually, but in Lin Wanyu's mind it gradually took on this form:

Music played in the living room as Gu Yifan gazed at her tenderly, saying, "I like everything you poured."

"Mmm~" Lin Wanyu blushed.

"."

Gu Yifan looked at the dazed Lin Wanyu and chuckled to himself.

Is Yi out of his mind?

Gu Yifan reached out and waved his hand in front of Lin Wanyu's face several times. "What are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Lin Wanyu covered her face, her voice muffled. After a while, she said, "Gu Yifan, you're so good to me, I'm not used to it."

As it turns out, being a "simp" never ends well. The only way is to start by being aloof and making the girl want you more, and then gradually become gentler. That's when the girl will be overjoyed.

Gu Yifan unintentionally grasped the most profound philosophy of love.

"You just said you wanted to help?"

Lin Wanyu blinked. "Um, but didn't you say you were going to do it yourself?"

Gu Yifan revealed his true purpose, "It's okay, there are plenty more anyway, how about I teach you how to make candied hawthorns?"

Gu Yifan: I'm so stupid. Whatever I do, I should let Lin Wanyu, no, Fairy Lin, do it. That would be a magic pill, definitely better than what I make.

"You'll teach me how to do it?" Lin Wanyu immediately became interested upon hearing this.

"Okay." Gu Yifan nodded. "I'll make some for everyone to eat, and I'll eat what you make, so there won't be any waste."

Plan Pass
Lin Wanyu naturally had no reason to refuse, but unfortunately she couldn't share her joy with Meijia.

And so, the happy Lin Wanyu happily washed her little hands and happily made candied hawthorns under Gu Yifan's guidance.

Before you know it, you've done too much.

Waiting for Hu Yifei to get up.

I was shocked to see all sorts of candied hawthorns on the coffee table, the dining table, and crammed into the refrigerator.

"Hey, did you two rob a candied hawthorn vendor? Or did you buy a whole bunch of candied hawthorns wholesale to resell?"

Lin Wanyu was a little embarrassed. She was so excited about learning how to make candied hawthorn for the first time that she made it so easily.
"They learned it from Gu Yifan, so they made a little extra to share with everyone~"

Fairy Lin floated to Master Hu's side, hugged his arm, and shook it coquettishly.

Hu Yifei looked at Lin Wanyu, who had a sweet smile on her face, picked up a string of Oreo candied hawthorns from the plate with a half-smile, examined them for a moment, and tilted her head to say something.

"Is this also candied hawthorn?"

Gu Yifan quietly added, "This is normal. There are some melted QQ candy candies and ham sausage candies next to it. Do you want some?"

Hu Yifei: What?

Although Gu Yifan knew that Lin Wanyu had many whimsical ideas, he still underestimated her imagination.

Lin Wanyu turned away shyly and rushed over to cover Gu Yifan's mouth, saying, "I was just curious."

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

Looking at the dazzling array of 'elixirs' produced by Fairy Lin, one doesn't know whether to feel pain or joy.

It's just that his already weak stomach is suffering, and the doctor advised him not to eat hard foods, which is bad for his digestive system.
