After everyone logged out of the game, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, just like the typical workday for office workers. The only difference was that Lufeng and his friends were playing games, while others might be feeling more frustrated, especially with the phenomenon of post-80s refusing to work overtime and post-90s refusing to go to work.
"Oh~" Lufeng took off his gaming headset, stretched his back, and his stomach let out a loud growl in protest.
Regarding Asking Heaven's ability to eat food in-game to prevent hunger, Lufeng could only smile wryly. In the game, he didn’t feel hungry after finishing a bun, but as soon as he logged out, his stomach protested severely. This was not just a minor inconvenience; it was downright frustrating.
When logging off, Wang Xiaojing mentioned wanting to have a feast. Lufeng didn’t understand what she meant at first. After sorting through his thoughts and reviewing experience points, maps, dungeons, and other information, he was just about to go out for dinner when there was a knock on the door. From the sound, Lufeng could guess it was Wang Xiaojing.
"Lufeng, why are you taking so long? Aren't you hungry?" Wang Xiaojing asked curiously when she saw him come out.
"I'm starving!" Lufeng replied exasperatedly.
Wang Xiaojing looked puzzled. "Then why did you take so long? It's been over ten minutes! Did Aunt Flow visit Xiaoxiao? You didn't too, did you? Or are you just lonely?"
Lufeng was taken aback by her bluntness and said with irritation, "Why does it matter? Are you a hundred thousand whys? Can your brain function normally?"
Wang Xiaojing paused for a moment and pouted. "You can't even take a joke? Today is my mom's birthday, and this suit is for you. Hmph... now hurry up!"
Lufeng was stunned and didn’t understand Wang Xiaojing's intention. "Did Gao Chao and the others get one too?"
"What does that have to do with them? Hurry up and change!" Wang Xiaojing said somewhat angrily.
Seeing that Wang Xiaojing had no intention of leaving, Lufeng felt a bit at a loss. He wasn't sure whether to put it on or not. He touched the suit; it felt smooth and soft in his hands. The wolf logo seemed pretty decent—not as flashy as an international brand but still respectable enough for someone of moderate status.
Wang Xiaojing grew impatient. "Can you hurry up? I’m not going to eat you! A grown man shouldn’t be shy! Put it on so I can see if it fits."
Lufeng was speechless. Before even entering, he had already taken on the role of a caretaker. Seeing how beautiful the woman was, he thought that if he hesitated any longer, he wouldn't be manly. He quickly changed into a suit, while Wang Xiaojing watched the entire process of Lufeng changing.
After putting it on, Lufeng felt it fit perfectly and asked in surprise, "How did you know what size I wear?"
Seeing Lufeng's astonished expression, Wang Xiaojing smiled proudly and said, "I forgot to tell you, I'm a fashion designer. Not only do you look good in that suit, but let's go; we're not eating at the hotel today."
"Then where are we going?"
Regarding Wang Xiaojing's description, Lufeng could only pretend he didn't hear it.
"My house!"
"Your house?" Lufeng questioned. "What about Gao Chao and the others?"
"Stop nagging!" Wang Xiaojing directly grabbed Lufeng's hand and said as they walked, "Didn't I tell you it's my mom's birthday today? Of course we're going to my house for dinner. Gao Chao and the others have already been picked up; you're just delaying things here with Xiaoxiao."
Lufeng: "…"
After waiting in the living room for a while, Murong Xiaoxiao finally came out, looking a bit unwell, clearly having overindulged.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" both Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing asked in unison, feeling a sense of harmony.
Murong Xiaoxiao shook her head and replied, "I'm fine. Let's go."
"It's fine, I feel the same way during my period; just endure it and it will pass," Wang Xiaojing said bluntly, clearly not caring that Lufeng heard her, as if she was intentionally saying it for him to hear.
Most people know that once a woman experiences her first time, she can say goodbye to the painful days of menstruation. Those who don't know this are not ordinary people. Lufeng naturally understood this as well and looked at Wang Xiaojing in surprise. As a strong woman of the 21st century, she had graduated from college while still being a virgin, and she was such an open-minded girl; it was truly remarkable and completely overturned his perception that "to find a virgin nowadays, you have to go to kindergarten."
Seeing Lufeng so astonished, Wang Xiaojing was unfazed: "There's nothing strange about it. A woman will only let down her last line of defense when she meets someone worth giving herself to. I am a woman among women, so I naturally view this matter quite rationally. The two men I've dated initially wanted to sleep with me right away; did they think I was for sale? If it weren't for my upbringing, I would have made them regret it."
Wang Xiaojing became more and more animated as she spoke, even making a gesture that made Lufeng feel a chill.
"Stop looking at me like that, let's go!"
...
After leaving the building, Aunt Wang had been waiting downstairs for quite some time.
"Xiaojing, you're getting more efficient at handling things! Why did it take so long? Everyone else has left, and I had to stay behind to wait for you all," Aunt Wang said with a smile as she saw Wang Xiaojing and the others come down.
Lufeng quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Auntie. Xiaoxiao isn't feeling well."
"It's fine." Aunt Wang glanced at Murong Xiaoxiao's pale face and shook her head. "Xiaojing, is your mom's gift ready?"
Reminded by Aunt Wang, Wang Xiaojing slapped her forehead: "Oh no, I forgot!"
Aunt Wang shook her head with a smile: "I knew you would forget. Here you go!"
Wang Xiaojing took the box and opened it to find a beautiful jade necklace. She was overjoyed and said, "I knew my brother treats me the best! Mom will definitely love the gift you picked out. Let's go!"
"Get in the car!"
This time, Aunt Wang drove herself. The high-end and luxurious Land Rover completely stunned Lufeng. It must cost at least two million, but then he thought about the Holiday Inn and realized that for Aunt Wang, it seemed like nothing. Soon, Lufeng withdrew his envious gaze.
Aunt Wang chose to drive herself because she trusted her own driving skills, and also because Lufeng didn’t know the way, so she didn’t ask him if he could drive.
Lufeng and Murong Xiaoxiao understood basic car etiquette. It was more convenient for friends to sit in the front for chatting, and since Wang Xiaojing was Aunt Wang's relative, it was unquestionable. Lufeng and Murong Xiaoxiao, being subordinates as well as passengers, naturally sat in the back seat.
Just as Aunt Wang was about to start driving, Wang Xiaojing felt that sitting in the front was too boring and looked around for a moment.
"Wait a minute, I want to chat with Xiaoxiao! Lufeng, you go sit in the front; no eavesdropping," Wang Xiaojing pushed Lufeng playfully and said with a smile.
"Huh? Okay!" At this moment, Lufeng was still caught up in the fact that Wang Xiaojing bought clothes for him but forgot to get a gift for his mom. He felt a bit heavy about this kindness; aside from Murong Xiaoxiao and Director Hu, this was the first time someone cared for him like this, leaving him inexplicably moved.
"Pfft~" Seeing Lufeng's somewhat dazed expression, Wang Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be nervous! Everyone from the studio is going; my brother treats everyone like family, which is why he invited everyone to my mom's birthday party. Of course, we won't let you go hungry; we've prepared a big feast too, hehe~"
Lufeng smiled without saying anything; being misunderstood as nervous made any explanation unnecessary.
