Chapter 25
"D - Dear!" Wang Yufei tried calling Zhang Qin Feng differently for the first time. It was as awkward as it would be, but the tone of hers was warm and lovely.
"Yes?" Zhang Qin Feng stopped halfway from leaving the car and looked at Wang Yufei again.
"I'll be by the restaurant… If you want… You can call me at any time." her face was blushing as she said what she wanted him to know.
"Sure. I'll give you a call after work today." Zhang Qin Feng wanted to give her another kiss, but since he's already halfway out of the car, he squeezed Wang Yufei's palm hard to the point she felt his intense touch.
"See you." Zhang Qin Feng went into his uncle's store in a hurry. In a flash, he's already back to his working mood as he starts moving the products into the store in a hurry.
"…" Wang Yufei touched her hand again. The feeling from Zhang Qin Feng squeezing her hand is still lingering around the hand as she slowly drove into the parking lot. A sweet smile was on both of their faces for the whole day.

"What happened to you? You looked much happier than before." Fatty Xie asked Zhang Qin Feng as both of them shared a few bottles of beer together. Place on the table is some mixed platters of seafood, meat, and barbeque sticks.
"There's a good thing, of course. Will you believe me if I told you I found myself a girlfriend?" Zhang Qin Feng smiled silly as he put his hand on Fatty Xie's shoulder.
"You? Girlfriend? Which good woman's future have you destroyed? Are they blind to choose a skinny chap like you as their boyfriend?" Fatty Xie joke and gave a jab at Zhang Qin Feng's belly. To his surprise, it was sturdy, like he's been exercising for some time.
"Hey, take your top off. Why do I feel like you're wearing something underneath? Did you come here to make fun of me today?" Fatty Xie suddenly lunges at Zhang Qin Feng and trying to pull his top off.
His eyes were filled with jealousy when he noticed that there are hardly flabby tire abs on his buddy's beer belly. Although it was not at the level of body builder's abs, it was still attractive even to a man like him.
"You bugger! How can heaven be so unfair! We're both working in the same industry, but you're the one getting all the muscles! Look at me! It's all fat around me!" Fatty Xie complained.
"Then wake up early in the morning and exercise with me. I have to run ten thousand steps every morning, do you know?" Zhang Qin Feng chuckled. Holding the cup in his hand, he gave Fatty Xie's cup a knock and suggested that they drink until the last drop.
"I'm not going to get fooled by you. Ten thousand steps? I rather eat two more roasted meat buns in the morning before going to work." Fatty Xie replied as he chugged the beer into his system like they're tap water.
Both of them were tipsy when they finished the last bottle of beer on the table. After settling the bill with the business owner, they went on their own way home.
'Stein… Flush the alcohol out from my system." Zhang Qin Feng ordered as he went to the convenience store he visits every morning.
**Ding!**
"Welcome, how can I… Eh!" it was a young lady working as a cashier at night. Looking at her face, Zhang Qin Feng felt that she resembles the pair of husband and wife owners he has usually seen in the morning.
"How can it be you?" but the reaction of the female cashier was different. From her expression, they seem to meet before somewhere else.
"Do I know you?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"No, I must be mistaken. What would you like to buy, please?" the young lady immediately changed the topic after she seems uninterested in this topic.
**Ding!**
Someone walked into the shop as they ended their conversation. It turned out to be Wang Yufei.
"Welcome! How can I be at your service?" the young lady greeted her with the same enthusiasm she shown to Zhang Qin Feng a while ago.
"Dear! What are you buying?" Wang Yufei grabbed Zhang Qin Feng's arm as she looks at the collection of ready-to-eat meals on the fridge. There were about twenty types for them to choose from.
The word "dear" Wang Yufei used made the female cashier looked at the couple curiously.
"There's only dumplings and some fish cakes left inside the fridge. I'm thinking about getting some drinks, minced pork, eggs, and something like this sour beansprouts so we can make something to eat in the morning." Zhang Qin Feng replied.
"Then… Let's get this. I wanted to eat this with you…" Wang Yufei behaves like a princess while she was with Zhang Qin Feng. After paying for what they selected, the couple returned upstairs.
'Heh… To think that he actually has a girlfriend here… This woman must be blind to be attracted to someone with a lack of education, skills, and attitude like him. Don't tell me… He performed very well down there?' the female cashier whispered to herself after the two left.
She then sits on the chair. Her working tag soon fell out from her skirt's pocket because it wasn't spacious enough to fit the entire card with the lanyard strap.
"Golden Stars Retail Co."
"Su Ruolin."
"Secretary, Human Resources Dept."
This female cashier was actually the secretary that tells Zhang Qin Feng how to leave the building after his interview.
…
…
…
In a blink of an eye, the weekend is here once again.
"I'm sorry, dear… I'll have to go back to the restaurant as there's a wedding dinner coming up tonight. I'll promise I will come to you tomorrow night…" Wang Yufei said as she hesitates to leave Zhang Qin Feng's home.
"Why are you promising me something? We're a couple now, so let's not say sorry or thank you between us… I have something to do anyway, so go get your work done first." he replied.
'Stein, activate the dimensional travel.' half an hour after Wang Yufei left, Zhang Qin Feng could finally travel to the post-apocalypse once again. With the short dagger in his left hand and Phalanx X-02 on his right, his gaze turned serious as his vision was blinded by a curtain of white light.
