“What do you mean by you’re introducing your girlfriend to me? Do you think I’m an idiot to not know what kind of man you are? If there’s really a girl coming here and call you honey as you say, I will start losing weight!” Fatty Xie said as he packed his mouth with the grilled lamb sticks.

“Why can’t you take me seriously? Do I have a (Forever Alone) word stamp on my forehead? I have a girlfriend too! We’ve even had sex continuously for days!” Zhang Qin Feng kicked Fatty Xie’s chair for not believing him.

“Eat. Stop spouting nonsense. I’ll have to get back to work early morning tomorrow. Recently, it’s pretty busy.” throwing the metal grilling sticks back onto the plate, Fatty Xie continues to eat like he was starving for days.

“Hey… Eat slowly. Why are you getting so sloppy out of sudden?” Zhang Qin Feng opened another bottle of beer and filled both cups.

“You have no idea how busy I am lately… But the additional pay is quite good. At the end of this month, I’m sure I will have enough to pay for my rental.” he replied. From what he said, it seems Fatty Xie had some difficulty with his money.

“I have some extra with me. If you really need it, just get it from me, alright?” Zhang Qin Feng said.

“Don’t worry, I’m just short of a hundred or two. I can get it from working overtime for two or three days. But I’m not going to pay for tonight’s meal since you said you’ll pay for it.” Fatty Xie added after he made sure to answer Zhang Qin Feng’s offer to help.

“That’s what you get for trying to show me an imaginary girlfriend.” he chuckled.

“Feng Dear…” a pair of lovely voices came from behind as Fatty Xie reached for the grilled octopus claws.

“Dear?” Fatty Xie immediately turned his head to the point he cannot turn it any further. Checking up the lady standing between them, Fatty Xie almost spilled all the food in his mouth. For a moment there, he couldn’t believe what he heard.

‘The hell is wrong with this world?’ Fatty Xie wanted to scream for all the injustice he faced until now. Shouldn’t he get a girlfriend earlier than Zhang Qin Feng because he had a stable job?

“Pretty lady, I’m not sure how much this guy pays you, but don’t get tricked by him.” Fatty Xie pointed at Zhang Qin Feng and comment about him ruthlessly. Of course, it was done in a joking manner as he looks at how close the two are.

‘Damn. Now I’m jealous. Do I really have to go for a diet?’ Fatty Xie thought.

They eventually enjoyed chatting with each other as Zhang Qin Feng was happy that they get off pretty well. But whenever they tried to get their conversation naughtier to all the shameless things Zhang Qin Feng did before, he’ll quickly interrupt and stopped them.

And because it was a tiring and tipsy night for them, both Zhang Qin Feng and Wang Yufei collapsed straight onto the bed once they went back to his studio.

…

*Smooch!*

Zhang Qin Feng kissed Wang Yufei’s forehead before he went for a jog in the morning. Such a routine has become a habit for him as he maintains his physical fitness. After going through yesterday’s battle against several zombies, Zhang Qin Feng started to realize that survival was not as easy as he thought.

That textbook knowledge about survival was totally useless when it applied in the post-apocalypse.

‘My own strength… What I need the most here is to strengthen myself. IF even Satella, a local, could get herself cornered in the residential area for days without a way to leave, what about me if I can’t use the dimensional travel out of sudden?’

Zhang Qin Feng practiced the 18 martial techniques while his mind is filled with questions. This made his mind clearer about what he was doing unconsciously.

‘10%? That’s quite a good score for today, don’t you think so?’ Zhang Qin Feng chuckled as he wiped his sweat off. With all his routine workouts is finally over, Zhang Qin Feng decided to call it a day.

Taking a hundred dollars bill out from his pocket, he went straight into the convenience store to buy something for their morning breakfast. As usual, a few cream buns, snacks, and two bottles of milk tea were selected.

When he returned to the studio, Wang Yufei was ready with some breakfast waiting on the table.

“Have you bought the cream bun you like?” Wang Yufei gave him a kiss on his cheek when Zhang Qin Feng returned with a box believed to be bread in his hand. Looking at the breakfast platter on the table, it came with a fruity salad and pancakes, but missing a piece of toast on the plate.

“Yes. I’ve bought the bun.” Zhang Qin Feng shook the paper bag in his hand.

“Then… Let us enjoy our breakfast before going to work. Do you have anywhere to go today?” Wang Yufei asked as she spread the butter on the warm pancakes. After sprinkling some icing sugar on top of the pancake and the fruity salad, she cut a piece out to fed this man seated beside her.

“Do you need me by the office? I might have something to do later in the shopping mall. It seems the currency exchange today is quite good, so I might spend some time monitoring the exchange rate.” Zhang Qin Feng answered.

“Alright then! If you can come back for lunch, let me know. I’ll get the kitchen to prepare another portion for us. Today’s lunch will be lobsters as we’re getting some fresh seafood from our direct supplier.” Wang Yufei replied as she fed another mouthful of pancakes into his mouth.

“I’ll try to be back by then.” he smiled.

Taking a peek at the desktop computer’s hardware as he wipes the cream away, Zhang Qin Feng secretly pulled the two repaired electronic parts out from the Dimensional Storage.

**Kerrchak!**
