With the National Day holiday over, the coming week was undoubtedly going to be a grueling one for most people.
Every day, they counted off the days on their fingers, looking forward to the next weekend.
Who knew when they would finally be able to have an extended holiday without having to make up the days off afterward?
But Wang Xiaoliang was an exception.
His week was exceptionally fulfilling, leaving him happy in both body and mind.
For one thing, Wei Zijin had spent an entire day with him.
For another, business was good at all three supermarkets.
There was another very special change that week.
Wei Zijin, who had suggested they not contact each other on workdays, broke that habit.
She sent him several messages every day, sometimes full of lovey-dovey sweet nothings, sometimes containing a few cute reaction images.
More often, of course, she shared the latest numbers for her viral video as though she were giving him a work report.
"Xiaoliang! It's passed five million views!"
"So many people in the comments are asking exactly where the tofu stall is!"
"I've had so many advertising offers. Too bad I can't accept any of them."
Whenever Wang Xiaoliang saw these messages, he would smile and send a few replies, feeling even happier than when he made money himself.
"Congratulations, wifey. From now on, I'll stay home with the kids and be the man behind your success."
"No way!"
"Oh, get lost. Who said I'd have your babies?"
On Thursday afternoon, Wei Zijin sent him another piece of incredible news.
"I'm going back to work! The station ended my suspension early!"
The message was followed by a celebratory confetti emoji.
As soon as Wang Xiaoliang saw it, he called her.
"So it's their turn to come asking you now?
