I Think I'm in Love

Knock, knock, knock!

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

A series of footsteps, tap, tap, tap, approached Yang Xuan.

"Sir, your drink," the voice said in Russian. Natasha held a drinks tray, curiously appraising the young man before her.

He wasn't particularly muscular, and he had a bit of a belly. He had muscles, sure, but not the overly developed kind.

Yang Xuan thought it was a waitress. Nice gym, hiring foreign girls too. He turned around. His eyes lit up. What a beautiful blonde girl, and her figure was incredible.

Thanks to the system, Yang Xuan had no language barriers whatsoever.

Ding~ Automatically learned Russian.

Yang Xuan, speaking Russian with a Moscow accent, asked, "Beautiful lady, are you a waitress here too?"

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

"No, I've never been abroad."

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

Natasha pressed the display on the punch machine, exclaiming, "Are you a monster? Do you know that people have been talking about Boxer Tyson's right hook having 800 kilograms of force for decades? Your punch force is actually 100,000 kilograms, 10 tons! That's simply inhuman! And don't you know that most smart punch machines rank and permanently record the top ten forces? If anyone saw this, they'd think the machine was broken!" Natasha circled Yang Xuan, adding, "It's a shame that with such strength, your muscles aren't prettier."

"My muscles used to be quite nice, but I stopped working out later and got fat. I'll show you a photo," Yang Xuan said, opening his phone and handing it over.

"Huh? How can there be such a difference?"

"How can I not get fat when I'm cooped up in the company all day?"

"My name is Natasha, what's yours?"

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

"Really? Then I'm very honored."

Yang Xuan felt very good about this girl. She was his type: busty, with long straight hair and a peachy butt. She was perfect. The more he looked, the more he liked her. He tried saying, "It's about time, I'm going to grab something to eat. How about I treat you? Want to come along?"

"Is this you asking me out?" Natasha's eyes curved playfully.

"Ahem, of course it is. Are you coming?"

"Then let's go. Do you want to pick the place, or should I?" Natasha asked.

"You pick. I'm not very picky about food."

"Okay then, the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on the fourth floor of Yintai. Their pineapple buns are delicious, and they let you put a lot of sugar in the coffee. Everything is sweet and delicious."

"With your figure, you don't look like you eat much."

"Of course! It's rush hour now. If we drive, parking will probably take a while too."

"It's been a long time since I rode a scooter. I feel a bit nostalgic. I used to ride one all the time when I was in school. It was quite convenient, and I kind of miss it," Natasha said nostalgically, sitting on Yang Xuan's "little donkey."

Not long after, the two arrived at Yintai. Since it was a scooter, parking was absolutely the easiest.

They strolled slowly and arrived at the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on the fourth floor.

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

"Yang Xuan, I want to eat pineapple buns."

"Hello, sir, madam. Can the two of you eat that much? You've ordered too much, and we don't offer refunds if you can't finish it," the young waitress said helplessly.

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

The people around were stunned.

On a table for six, a feast was laid out: roast goose, pineapple buns, wonton noodles, rice noodle rolls, and not just one of each.

"Natasha, you don't look fat, how can you eat so much?"

"Yang Xuan, you're saying that to me? You've eaten two whole roast geese and five pineapple buns."

The surrounding diners were dumbfounded. Some even posted on their social media.

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

"Host, because you have many major cultivation systems, it's normal for you to eat more. It's recommended that you eat foods with high Blood Essence in the future, or aged medicinal herbs can also increase your National Arts and internal strength."

"System, give me a suggestion. It's too much trouble to eat like this every day."

"Host, the system is still in its growth phase and cannot provide more effective methods. It is recommended that the host increase their strength. If the system grows, it will be able to provide the host with better and more precise methods."

"Alright. It's useless to say anything."

"You're Russian, what made you think of coming to China?" Yang Xuan mumbled through a mouthful of rice noodle roll.

"I've always lived in Russia. When I was in college, I met a best friend who was Chinese, so I followed her here. I didn't expect to stay for so many years."

"Whew, that was delicious!" Yang Xuan actually wanted to spend more time with Natasha. He thought about typical dates: shopping, eating, watching movies.

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

Natasha was becoming more and more curious about Yang Xuan. After all, not many normal people could eat as much as he could. She herself could eat a lot because of her strong physique; even though she was a woman, she had natural strength. But the one thing Natasha was most satisfied with was that she didn't gain much weight no matter how much she ate.

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

"Huh, you actually like military-themed movies?"

"Of course. The status of us Russian soldiers is very high. It's a shame my best friends don't really like watching them, so I've never had the chance."

"Waiter, the bill," Yang Xuan said, wiping his mouth.

"1080 yuan. Thank you."

Well, they had ordered enough for more than ten people.

The two of them ate, watched movies, and went shopping. Although they had only known each other for a day, they had developed a mutual liking and exchanged contact information when they parted.

And so, it started with meeting every two to three days, but now they were together practically all day, growing closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

I can't take it anymore. I have to increase my strength faster. If I keep eating like this, I'll spend all my future days just eating. Now, besides the three main meals a day, I also have five small meals consisting of high-calorie compressed biscuits or specialized protein bars for fitness.

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

"Host, although the combat power in this dimension isn't very high, the Taoist magic and zombies have surpassed those of an ordinary world. Furthermore, while the rules of this dimension aren't very strong, the host's abilities are too low. The system cannot fully suppress the power of the rules. It can only vaguely pinpoint the time period; the exact location is a bit difficult."
