I Think I'm in Love

Knock, knock, knock!

"Come in. The door's unlocked," Yang Xuan said without turning around.

He heard a string of footsteps approaching him.

"Sir, your drink." She spoke Russian. Natasha carried a tray of drinks and curiously sized up the young man before her.

He wasn't particularly burly and even had a slight paunch. He did have muscles, but they weren't especially well-developed.

Thinking she was a server, Yang Xuan thought, This gym is pretty good. They even hire foreign girls? He turned around, and his eyes lit up. What a beautiful blonde. Her figure was incredible too.

Because of the system, Yang Xuan had no language barrier whatsoever.

Ding~ Russian learned automatically.

Yang Xuan spoke in Russian with a strong Moscow accent. "Beautiful, are you a server here too?"

"You speak Russian too? I know many people from Hua country who can speak Russian, but I've never met anyone who could speak it with such a strong Moscow accent. Have you lived in Russia for many years?"

"No. I've never even been abroad."

"Then your Russian is amazing. I just discovered something incredible," Natasha said playfully.

Natasha pressed the display on the punching machine and exclaimed, "Are you a monster? You know how people have been talking about how heavyweight champion Tyson's right punch had a force of 800 kilograms for decades? Your punch force is actually 100,000 kilograms—ten tons! You're practically superhuman! And don't you know that most smart punching machines permanently record the top ten scores according to punching force? If anyone saw this, they'd definitely think the machine was broken." Natasha walked around Yang Xuan once and said, "It's a shame you have so much strength but your muscles aren't very attractive."

"My muscles used to look pretty good, but I stopped working out later and got fat. I'll show you a picture." Yang Xuan opened his phone and handed it over.

"Huh? How did you change so much?"

"If you stay cooped up at the company every day, how could you not gain weight?"

"My name's Natasha. What's yours?"

"Hello, Natasha. I'm Yang Xuan. You're the first foreigner I've ever met!"

"Really? Then I'm honored."

Yang Xuan genuinely liked this girl. She was exactly his type: voluptuous, with long, straight hair and a peach-shaped butt. She was practically perfect. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He tried, "It's about time for me to eat. How about I treat you to a meal? Want to come?"

"Are you asking me out?" Natasha said playfully, her eyes curving.

"Ahem, of course I am. Are you coming?"

"Then let's go. Are you choosing the place, or am I?" Natasha asked.

"You choose. I'm not picky about food."

"Okay, then. Let's go to the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on the fourth floor of Yintai. Their pineapple buns are delicious, and you can put lots of sugar in the coffee. Everything is sweet."

"With a figure like yours, you don't look like someone who eats a lot."

"Of course. It's rush hour after work now. If we drive, we'll probably spend ages looking for parking."

"It's been a long time since I've ridden an electric scooter. It's making me nostalgic. I used to ride one all the time when I was in school. They're really convenient, but I still miss those days." Natasha climbed onto Yang Xuan's Little Donkey and spoke wistfully.

Before long, they arrived at Yintai. Since they were on a Little Donkey, parking was incredibly easy.

The two of them strolled along until they reached the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on the fourth floor.

"This looks good. The roast goose looks delicious too."

"Yang Xuan, I want pineapple buns."

"Hello, sir and madam. Can the two of you really finish all that? You've ordered too much. If you can't finish it, we don't offer refunds," the ordering girl said helplessly.

"No problem. Even if we can't finish it, I'll still pay."

The people around them were stunned as well.

A six-person table was piled high with food: roast goose, pineapple buns, wonton noodles, rice noodle rolls, and more, with multiple servings of everything.

"Natasha, how can you eat so much without gaining weight?"

"Yang Xuan, don't say that about me. You've already eaten two whole roast geese and five pineapple buns."

The customers all around them stared in shock. Someone even posted it directly to their social feed.

"System, what's going on? I feel like my appetite has been getting bigger lately."

"Host, since you cultivate multiple systems, eating more is normal. In the future, it is recommended that you eat foods with high vital energy and blood, or medicinal herbs with many years of age. These can also increase your National Arts and Inner Force."

"System, give me some advice. Eating this much every day is becoming a real hassle."

"Host, the system is still growing and cannot provide more effective methods at present. It is recommended that the host increase his strength. Once the system grows, it will be able to provide the host with better and more precise methods."

"Fine. That was as good as saying nothing."

"You're Russian. What made you come to Hua country?" Yang Xuan asked around a mouthful of rice noodle roll.

"I'd always lived in Russia. When I was in university, I became friends with a girl from Hua country, so I came here with her. I never expected to stay for so many years."

"Whew, that was a satisfying meal." Yang Xuan actually wanted to spend more time with Natasha. He figured that ordinary dates were nothing more than strolling around, eating, and watching movies.

"Natasha, how about we go see a movie?"

Natasha had grown increasingly curious about Yang Xuan. After all, very few ordinary people could eat that much. She ate so much because she had an unusually powerful constitution. Though she was a woman, she was naturally strong. However, the thing Natasha was most satisfied with was that no matter how much she ate, she never gained much weight.

"Let's watch Wolf Warrior 2," Natasha suggested.

"Huh? You like military movies?"

"Of course. Russian soldiers have very high status. Unfortunately, my friends don't really like watching them, so I've never had the chance."

"Waiter, the bill." Yang Xuan wiped his mouth.

"1,080 yuan. Thank you."

Well, they had actually ordered more than ten servings of food.

The two of them ate, watched a movie, and wandered around together. Although they had only known each other for one day, they had already developed feelings for each other. When they parted, they exchanged contact information.

And so, they went from meeting once every two or three days at first to spending practically the entire day together. The two grew increasingly intimate, and before they knew it, more than half a month had passed.

I can't take this anymore. I have to increase my strength faster. If I keep eating like this, I'll spend every day eating. Besides three regular meals, I'm now having five smaller meals a day, consisting of high-calorie compressed biscuits or protein bars made for fitness.

"System, I want to go to Mr. Vampire this time. Can you pinpoint the time and destination?"

"Host, although the overall power level of this plane is not very high, its Daoist arts and zombies have already surpassed those of ordinary worlds. Furthermore, while the rules of this plane are not particularly strong, the host's abilities are too weak, and the system cannot completely suppress the power of its rules. It can only vaguely pinpoint the time. Determining the location will be difficult."
