How many times had it been? Just because of her every frown and smile, he would walk through hell and heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet he—was willing to die for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at her thin but exquisite back, he couldn't help but reach out his arm toward her little hand, but he didn't dare to grab it firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele lowered her beautiful eyes and slowed her pace slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The large hand finally held the small hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Three seconds later, Jie Ji smiled with a foolish look.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She didn't pull away, she didn't!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\" He Lele glanced at his smiling face, her pink lips slightly curved, then she became thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dubbing time these past few days had been getting longer and longer, but every day she could feel herself getting closer to the character. That lively, cheerful, and carefree girl, that girl who was brave enough to love and brave enough to be loved...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah, ah, ah, ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah, ah, ah, ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Young girls' screams kept coming from the video store by the roadside. Jie Ji glanced at the large poster of Qin Zhixiu in the store window and tilted his head to smile ambiguously at He Lele.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele naturally understood what he was smiling about and gave him a huffy look, pulling her hand, but he smiled and held it even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The cell phone ringtone rang at the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jie Ji put down the vegetables in his hand and took out his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at his increasingly heavy expression, He Lele hesitated slightly, \"What's wrong?\" Did something happen to Qin Zhixiu?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jie Ji put away his phone, \"Something happened at Muse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's fine, Shen Tu is there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He said it was fine, but as soon as they returned to the rental apartment, Jie Ji turned on the TV, taking turns changing channels while starting the computer. He Lele took the opportunity to take a look—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Zhixiu's romance exposed!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Qin Zhixiu, whose new album was just released today, is suspected to have his romance officially exposed. Yesterday, Qin Zhixiu and the new actress Du Wei returned to the woman's home to spend the night together. This morning, when asked about the romance by our station's reporter, although both sides did not respond in words, Du Wei affectionately took Qin Zhixiu's arm, implying the romance with her actions! According to the reporter's multi-party understanding, it turns out the two were childhood sweethearts, and Qin Zhixiu has been in love with Du Wei since childhood! It seems now...\" The news on TV was halfway through when Jie Ji changed the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This Du Wei... pushing her luck!\" Jie Ji snorted coldly and dialed his phone, \"Xiao Jin, give the phone to the Qin kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a pause, Jie Ji continued, \"Listen, I don't care what inexplicable demands you agreed to for Du Wei again, stay away from her recently! Also, Muse's server was attacked a few days ago; if you have time, help take a look. Her? She's fine... she's right here.\" After speaking, Jie Ji handed the phone to He Lele, \"The Qin kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele took the phone. Qin Zhixiu asked if she had eaten the throat-protecting supplements he had sent over. Before she could answer, he seemed to have started working on his end again and hung up the phone in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The following days were regular enough to make He Lele feel very at ease. Although Mu Wei's demands every night made her worry about tiring her voice, if she tried to suppress her moans, he would definitely push step by step until she completely collapsed and screamed... Now, every day when she woke up and saw Jie Ji's increasingly dark circles and the suppressed desire in his eyes, she... became more and more unsure of what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This morning, after finishing the recording, Jie Ji rushed back to Muse for a meeting and found a professional bodyguard to send her back. Before dinner, Mu Wei called to say something happened at home and he had to rush back, and then Jie Ji called to say he had something to do and couldn't come back tonight. With both of them not coming back, and a stranger with a straight face in the house, she really wasn't used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The doorbell rang suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The bodyguard looked through the peephole and signaled He Lele to take a look herself. He Lele walked over with some doubt, thinking as she walked—who? Looking for whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"L? How did you know I was here? Did Lingyu tell you?\" He Lele looked at the bouquet in Li Yiquan's hand with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Yiquan handed over the bouquet, \"Why? Don't you want me to come see you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course not, but sending flowers is too grand!\" He Lele smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is it? You'll get used to it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Le Le, I like you. With marriage as the goal, I am now officially starting to pursue you. Please take care of me.\" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yiquan turned and left He Lele's sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a long time, He Lele pinched her own face... it hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Friends came over to play, typed on a mobile phone... Jiangshan, who will be on vacation in six days, leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>☆, (13 Xian Coins) Chapter 236: Let Me In\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>New Culture Lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele stared at her phone, unable to make up her mind no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ever since L confessed to her yesterday, she had been struggling—should she tell Lingyu? Should she say it? How to say it? What would happen if she said it, and what would happen if she didn't?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was as if there was an iron abacus in her heart clattering non-stop, but the beads weren't calculating honestly; they were flying all over the sky, colliding with each other, making her heart and mind a mess, to the point where she had to record the simple lines from the morning several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No, she had to call. He Lele picked up her phone—the Nokia was totaled after being thrown from the sixth floor, so she inserted her SIM card into her previous Versace phone, which actually turned on successfully, so she recharged it and used it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hello? Le Le?\" His voice was always magnetic and intimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...L,\" He Lele bit her lip, \"About yesterday...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am serious. It's just that I discovered it too late myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you going to reject me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is there a window near you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah?\" He Lele looked, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look down, there will be a surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A surprise? He Lele leaned to the window and looked down, \"There's nothing—ah!\" A bunch of bright red roses suddenly appeared in front of her, scaring her into reflexively stepping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Did I scare you?\" Li Yiquan supported her retreating body, his arm powerfully circling her soft waist. \"Have you had lunch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a Chinese restaurant not far from New Culture, although He Lele's eyes were looking at the menu in her hand, she didn't read a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Le Le, how about fish?\" Ren Lingyu asked while flipping through the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm? Ah! Good!\" He Lele was on the verge of tears; she hadn't figured out how to tell Lingyu, and Li Yiquan had actually brought Lingyu along first!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yay! They have old vinegar jellyfish head here, so we must order one; Master likes it the most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What do I like the most?\" Li Yiquan, who had just gone out to make a phone call, asked with a smile while sitting down opposite the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Me! Doesn't Master like me the most?\" Ren Lingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, \"The senior brothers are jealous every day, haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele felt a \"cluck\" in her heart and swallowed her saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Yiquan looked at He Lele and smiled faintly at Ren Lingyu's joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After ordering, Ren Lingyu asked, \"Master said he had something to tell me and also called Le Le. Is there any progress on the Hongyuan matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, it will take some time to pull Hongyuan out by the roots. I want to talk about something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele quickly kicked Li Yiquan's shoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Le Le, I think we should tell Xiao Yu about this matter.\" Li Yiquan said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele looked at Ren Lingyu's confused appearance and shook her head at Li Yiquan anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Ren Lingyu was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yu, actually—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nothing at all!\" He Lele stood up abruptly, looking at Li Yiquan pleadingly, \"Lawyer Li, can you come out with me for a moment? I have something I want to say to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Walking out of the shop, He Lele suppressed the mess in her heart, \"L, you don't need to tell Lingyu; it's impossible for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In this world, truly impossible things are far fewer than we think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You don't understand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What don't I understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele couldn't help but look at Li Yiquan with some resentment, \"Can't you see it? Lingyu likes you! She has liked you for many years! Ever since you gave a speech at our alma mater a few years ago, she has liked you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...So what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't want any estrangement between Lingyu and me! So, I will treat last night as if it never happened, and please... don't waste your effort anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you think I want to tell Xiao Yu that I like you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Isn't, isn't that it?\" He Lele was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Yiquan smiled gently, \"Of course not. I like you and want to pursue you. Besides you, I don't need to give an account to anyone about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Li Yiquan say this, He Lele couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but as soon as she relaxed, she felt something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So, were you distancing yourself from me before because of Lingyu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I... no, it's not...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>",1667,"2026-06-14T03:55:59.415Z","2026-06-17T08:39:51.626Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6e86cf69de6be6cad589e144694b561288dd5f32a9166b384a234dbad952efd2","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-218","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-216",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
