"No way. Yang Xuan is only driving an electric scooter? And Natasha is really riding with him?" Xu Qing watched Yang Xuan drive away on his scooter.

"Natasha isn't that young anymore. It's about time she found a boyfriend," Zhang Mengmeng said.

"That's strange. So many rich, handsome men have pursued Natasha, but she never agreed to date any of them. How come she likes someone like Yang Xuan? He's about as tall as me, shorter than Natasha, and younger than her too. I really don't know what Natasha likes about him," Xu Qing said.

"At least she has a prospective boyfriend. The two of us have nothing. My mom even told me last time to spend less time with you and Natasha because she was afraid we'd become lesbians," Zhang Mengmeng joked.

"Little girl, come here and give me a kiss," Xu Qing teased.

"Stop fooling around. Drive, drive. There are quite a lot of people at noon—we need to fight for a parking spot." Zhang Mengmeng dodged Xu Qing's alluring lips as she spoke.

Meanwhile, on Yang Xuan's side.

Fortunately, Yang Xuan had taken Little Donkey, so parking was incredibly easy. Natasha's distinctive Eastern European features, tall figure, and curvaceous body made her practically the goddess of every homebody's dreams. Walking beside Yang Xuan, she drew waves of envious gazes that swept back and forth over him. Men were allowed a little vanity. Who wouldn't want his girlfriend to be a little prettier?

The two of them sat down and began ordering food: roast pork, roast beef, pan-fried chicken breast, and more. They ordered at least five servings of everything, filling an enormous table to the brim. In an instant, everyone in the restaurant was staring at Yang Xuan and Natasha.

"Over here, over here." Natasha waved to Xu Qing and Zhang Mengmeng, who were standing by the entrance.

Xu Qing slapped her forehead. "Oh my god, what are they trying to do?"

"Hurry over. Watching Natasha and Yang Xuan eat meat is making me hungry," Zhang Mengmeng said in her cute manner.

After the two girls sat down, Xu Qing couldn't help lecturing Natasha. "Natasha, I've told you so many times already. Eating too much will make you fat, and it isn't good for your health either."

"It doesn't matter. Natasha has the kind of body that never gets fat no matter how much she eats. I'm so jealous." Zhang Mengmeng picked up a piece of meat.

Xu Qing couldn't help joining in either.

"I suddenly realized that the two of you really are a good match. You can both eat so much." Xu Qing stared at them for a while, then shook her head.

Yang Xuan glanced at Natasha, but she was focused on eating the beef with all her might. Even so, it was obvious that she seemed a little reserved.

Looking at the strange pair, Zhang Mengmeng said, "Why do you two seem so weird after Xu Qing said that? You're even eating more politely, and there's less chewing too."

"I've heard that when people are in front of someone they like or care about, they tend to become a little anxious and insecure." Zhang Mengmeng struck another blow.

"Yang Xuan, what kind of work do you do?" Xu Qing asked.

"Me? I'm a customer-service representative for a Taobao shop. We sell fur clothing." Yang Xuan spoke indistinctly.

"A Taobao customer-service representative? I heard the pay is pretty good. Earning over ten thousand a month shouldn't be a problem," Xu Qing said.

"It isn't always like that. The salary varies quite a bit. It's the off-season now, so there isn't much work, and I usually make only around three thousand a month. But once winter comes, if I work hard, I should be able to make over twelve thousand. Besides, I sell women's clothing, so the shop's business is pretty good in winter."

"For someone your age, that's a decent salary if you're working a regular job," Xu Qing said slowly.

As soon as Zhang Mengmeng learned that Yang Xuan sold women's clothing, she became interested. "You sell women's clothing? As a man, can you recommend sizes? Women's sizes can be really difficult."

"It's not too bad. Usually, if you tell me your height, weight, and underbust measurement, I can basically tell you what size you need. But it's only an estimate. Everyone's body shape is different." Yang Xuan spoke with professional confidence.

"Come on, come on. Take a look and tell me what size I am and what I should wear." After swallowing a mouthful of meat, Zhang Mengmeng stood up, spun around, and thrust out her chest.

Yang Xuan glanced over her figure. "Around 172 centimeters, about 125 pounds, and an E cup."

Natasha and Xu Qing exchanged glances. How amazing. He had already estimated Zhang Mengmeng's real measurements with almost no difference. The three girls had come from Russia to Hua country to study and start a business together. They lived and ate together, and Zhang Mengmeng's ample breasts had already been groped countless times by the two female perverts. How could they not know her size?

Yang Xuan had actually managed to estimate it with just one glance. Natasha and Xu Qing immediately thought he was incredibly impressive.

"By the way, those two people confirmed yesterday. They're going, but they'll only come over on the day we set out. They aren't from HN City, after all," Xu Qing said.

"Take my car. It can seat six people, and it has a huge trunk for the luggage. We can put things on the roof too," Yang Xuan said.

"After we finish eating, Yang Xuan, let's go see your car at your place. That way, we'll know how many supplies we need to buy," Natasha said.

"Everyone's finished eating, right? Then let's go." Yang Xuan wiped his mouth and paid with his phone.

The four of them arrived at Yang Xuan's residence.

"Wow, Yang Xuan, are you a tycoon? You live in such a huge house!" Zhang Mengmeng exclaimed.

Natasha and Xu Qing were equally shocked. Anyone who could afford to buy a house at Grand Noble Estate was genuinely wealthy. After all, the annual property-management fee alone was a huge expense.

"I just made a little money. Come with me. Let's go to the garage first." Yang Xuan looked pleased with himself.

The two girls stared speechlessly at the nearly three-meter-tall road behemoth. Natasha, on the other hand, instantly fell in love with it, walking around the vehicle again and again.

"Yang Xuan, I like this car. If we take it, we'll be able to buy a lot of supplies," Natasha said excitedly.

As expected of someone from a warrior nation. Most women wouldn't be particularly fond of a vehicle like this.

"Take a good look, then go inside my house and rest for a while," Yang Xuan said.

And so, the entire afternoon passed in a state of excitement as everyone discussed the details of the trip and made a list of the supplies they needed.

For example, a small water-powered or wind-powered generator, an outdoor barbecue grill, a first-aid kit, and so on.

"Yang Xuan, Natasha, we'll head back and get ready first. You two can discuss the rest," Xu Qing said indifferently.

She was clearly trying to create some time alone for the two of them.

After their excitement gradually subsided, the ambiguous atmosphere between them grew even more intense.

"Natasha, we haven't known each other for an especially long time, but it hasn't been short either. What do you think of me?" Yang Xuan asked nervously.

Natasha thought for a moment. "You're a mysterious guy. What, are you trying to pursue me?"

Yang Xuan sat down beside Natasha and looked at her. She was half a head taller than him. "I want to pursue you. Is that okay?"

"Then we'll have to see how you perform." Natasha smiled sweetly. What she meant was that she wanted Yang Xuan to treat her better during the days ahead. She never expected Yang Xuan to misunderstand her meaning instantly.
