Chapter 18: Ex-boyfriend and Current Girlfriend
Chapter 18
Who would have thought it would be completed by the second morning?
New guests arrived? Three at once? And two of them are incredibly handsome and beautiful?
Gu Wanyin simply couldn't understand if it was her luck that was too good, or if the system had opened a back door for her.
She stood up immediately, preparing to go to the front desk to see what kind of handsome men and beautiful women they were.
"Sister Innkeeper, what's wrong?" Dong Yue asked, puzzled.
Just then, Xu Shi brought three people into the cafeteria and said to her, "Boss, these three are new guests. I've already checked them in. They're staying in rooms 205, 206, and 207. I've brought them here to buy food."
Gu Wanyin's gaze fell on the three new guests, and in the next moment, her eyes widened in shock.
Dong Yue and Zhuang Xiaoxia were also too stunned to speak.
Only the adorable Hamburger exclaimed, "Aren't those the uncle and auntie from last night's movie?"
Cola also exclaimed, "It really is them!"
Gu Wanyin instinctively looked towards Zhuang Xiaoxia.
Indeed, the newcomers were none other than the male and female leads from last night's movie — Wei Fenghua and Bai Shuwen!
It seemed that the system had rated their attractiveness above ninety points.
Indeed, even in this post-apocalyptic world, the two of them standing together were a sight for sore eyes, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Moreover, their clothes and faces were relatively clean, and they didn't show much signs of fatigue.
Perhaps they had special abilities.
The other guest was a short woman. Gu Wanyin remembered seeing her before when she went to Sunshine Base. It seemed she had believed the advertisement and come here.
"A-Ah-Hua?" Zhuang Xiaoxia's eyes reddened with emotion as she looked at Wei Fenghua, "You're still alive, that's wonderful!"
Wei Fenghua, seeing her, was also somewhat surprised: "Zhuang Xiaoxia? Is that you? How are you here?"
"I just arrived at this hotel yesterday!" Zhuang Xiaoxia stood up immediately and walked towards him, "I never thought I'd meet you here! Ah-Hua..."
She hadn't reached Wei Fenghua when she suddenly heard Bai Shuwen ask from the side, "Ah-Hua, do you know her?"
Zhuang Xiaoxia stopped in her tracks, her eyes dimming slightly.
She still remembered that once, Wei Fenghua had told her that in this life, the name "Ah-Hua" belonged only to her.
But now...
Never mind, they had been separated for so many years. He must have forgotten what he said back then.
She no longer had the right to ask anything of him.
"Ah... she's my high school classmate," Wei Fenghua rubbed his nose, "We haven't seen each other in many years."
"Well, meeting an old acquaintance in this apocalyptic world is quite a coincidence," Bai Shuwen smiled, "I've never met anyone I knew from before... Sigh, I don't even know if they're still alive."
Wei Fenghua then said to Zhuang Xiaoxia, "You should recognize her, right? She was a big star like me before the apocalypse. This is Bai Shuwen, also my girlfriend."
His eyes seemed to be warning Zhuang Xiaoxia not to say anything out of turn.
"I remember now!" Dong Yue exclaimed, "Back then, there were rumors everywhere that you two fell in love while filming. I can't believe it's true!"
After saying this, she realized something and glanced at Zhuang Xiaoxia, feeling a bit regretful.
Judging by Zhuang Xiaoxia's expression, she obviously still had feelings for Wei Fenghua! How could she be so talkative!
Bai Shuwen smiled and said, "We were about to make our relationship public at that time, but then the apocalypse came."
Fortunately, shortly after the apocalypse began, both she and Wei Fenghua awakened their special abilities. She now had level four water ability, while Wei Fenghua had level three wood ability.
Relying on their abilities, the two of them depended on each other to survive in the apocalyptic world, living slightly better than ordinary people.
They had been living in a base slightly better than Sunshine Base, and this time they came out intending to kill some zombies for their crystals to exchange for supplies in the base. Unexpectedly, they lost their compass, got lost, and stumbled upon this miraculous hotel by accident.
If what the hotel attendant said about the hotel's magical properties was true, they would just stay here permanently and not return to the base!
"I see," Zhuang Xiaoxia forced a smile, "You two have been relying on each other throughout the apocalypse, your relationship must be very, very good, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Shuwen's face reddened slightly. She glanced at Wei Fenghua and smiled sweetly, "It really is quite good."
"Haha, since you're here, feel free to settle in," Gu Wanyin came over to change the subject, "I'm the owner of this hotel. If you have any questions, you can ask Xu Shi or me. You want to buy food, right? You can buy it from this machine."
Bai Shuwen greeted her, then listened to Xu Shi introduce the machine to them.
The other female guest also greeted Gu Wanyin, saying her name was Dou Mei and that she came from Sunshine Base. After saying this, she also eagerly went to buy food.
Gu Wanyin pulled Zhuang Xiaoxia back to sit at their table and asked quietly, "Are you okay?"
Dong Yue also looked at her with concern.
"Oh, what could be wrong with me? Don't worry about me," Zhuang Xiaoxia shrugged nonchalantly, "That thing between him and me, it's from so many years ago, from high school. I'm twenty-five now. Besides, it's the end of the world, who has time to care about love and relationships?"
Gu Wanyin knew, of course, that Zhuang Xiaoxia was putting on a brave face.
But she didn't say much, just smiled and said, "That's right! We have food and drink now, why bother about men? Oh, by the way, the hotel just opened a hot pot restaurant. Shall we go there for lunch? There's nothing a hot pot can't solve. If there is, then two hot pots will do!"
"You can even open a hot pot restaurant?" Zhuang Xiaoxia immediately put her ex-boyfriend out of her mind for the moment, "You're too amazing!"
"It's for the benefit of our guests," Gu Wanyin said with a righteous face.
And so, she immediately received admiring looks from Zhuang Xiaoxia and Dong Yue.
As they were chatting excitedly, they didn't notice that after Wei Fenghua had chosen the dishes he wanted, he secretly glanced at Zhuang Xiaoxia, his eyes complex.
...
The hot pot restaurant was located on the first floor, just below rooms 201 and 202.
The store was slightly larger than the rice noodle shop, with a few more tables and chairs.
On the far left of the store was a condiment station, stocked with various seasonings: sesame paste, sesame oil, scallion oil, chopped green onions and cilantro, fermented bean curd, oyster sauce, vinegar, and so on. There was a price list next to it, stating that the self-service condiments cost one point per person.
Because guests had to spend points while Gu Wanyin, as the owner, didn't need to, she sat at a table with Cola and Hamburger, while Dong Yue and Zhuang Xiaoxia sat at the table next to them.
Just like in the rice noodle shop, as soon as they sat down, a touch screen appeared in the middle of the table, displaying the hot pot restaurant's menu.
