Chapter 41: Return to the video store

"I was just as stubborn as you back then, eh..." The boss sighed deeply. "No matter who is wrong, sit down calmly and talk it out together..."

"If there will be regrets no matter how you choose, it's better to choose a path that you won't regret."

"Thank you!"

Ye Qingfeng walked aimlessly on the street carrying the two bags of ingredients, suddenly sighed heavily, looked at the cloudless blue sky, and fell into deep confusion.

He couldn't say he was too uncomfortable about Nekomata's departure. After all, they had just met, like two people who fell in love at first sight but one of them had to leave for some reason.

He also couldn't say he felt too good, like meeting a very fated cute cat, having planned to take it in and live together, only to find out the cat already had a family...

An inexplicable feeling rose in his heart. The distance to the next meeting with Nekomata wouldn't be too far.

Before that, let's live the present life well!

【Beep! Nekomata's favorability increased by 10%. Current favorability: 40%】

【Obtained two lottery chances!】

Ye Qingfeng's mind suddenly rang with a broadcast, and he smiled helplessly.

Ye Qingfeng knew that Nekomata was also looking forward to the moment they would meet again! That was enough...

Speaking of which... Sister Nico and the others should already be in the Hollow, don't know if it's going smoothly...

And so many mackerel cans, don't know if Nekomata can eat them before they expire...

Compared to the empty Rabbit House, better go to Phaethon's place first.

Ye Qingfeng looked at the two shopping bags full of things in his hand and reached out to hail a taxi on the side of the road.

(The author hasn't seen a taxi in Zenless Zone Zero, but don't be too serious about fanfiction)

After explaining the address to the driver, he found the most comfortable posture and closed his eyes to rest.

If I had known, I would have bought less food... compared to carrying things all the way to Sixth Street, it's more cost-effective to be tired or get car sick.

If he didn't have these two bags of things, he wouldn't take a car even if he died!

Wait!

Ye Qingfeng remembered something and sat up abruptly, his mouth slightly open, stunned in place.

Isn't there a spatial backpack! How did he forget!!

"That... is there anything wrong, customer?"

The driver was startled by Ye Qingfeng's sudden resurrection behavior.

"Nothing, nothing, just remembered something." Ye Qingfeng tried to hold back the urge to vomit. "About how long until we arrive?"

"We'll be there soon." The driver might have seen Ye Qingfeng's abnormality in the rearview mirror and saw he was very car sick, saying in a flat tone: "Two thousand Dennies if you vomit in the car."

(ps: 1RMB=100 Dennies)

"Trouble... Master, hurry up..."

Perhaps because he had lived with Nico for a long time, Ye Qingfeng wasn't very eager for Dennies, but he definitely wouldn't complain about having too many.

According to Sister Nico, Dennies should not be spent if they don't have to be.

He silently rolled down the car window and felt the cold wind blowing in his face, only then did he feel better, at least his stomach wasn't churning anymore.

Soon they arrived at the destination. After paying the driver, he carried the two large bags and walked toward the video store. After finally reaching the door, he saw the "Temporarily Closed" sign hanging there at a glance.

"Is anyone there?"

Ye Qingfeng, adhering to the principle of "since I'm here," raised his hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he knocked again and took out his phone to send them a message. Just as he finished editing the message, light footsteps came from inside the door.

Wise was in a bad mood because of the mess, and didn't want to bother with the knocking at the door, but after a while, it rang again, so he had to let Ling wait while he went to solve the guest at the door.

"Sorry, temporarily closed today, please come back tomorrow..." Wise walked quickly to the door and pulled it open, standard professional terminology coming out. Only halfway through did he see Ye Qingfeng standing at the door.

Wise was a bit puzzled seeing the two large bags on the ground, but seeing Ye Qingfeng covered in sweat, he hurriedly opened the door completely and helped carry one of the bags. "It's Qingfeng! Come in quickly, why did you buy so many things?"

"That's a long story... bought too many vegetables..." Ye Qingfeng held up the ingredients in the bag and shook them in front of Wise. "Wait for Sister Nico and the others to come back, then come back to the Rabbit House with us, I'll make you a big meal!"

"We'll talk about that later..." If it were normal, Wise would definitely agree immediately. He said with a very serious expression: "Something happened just now... we are currently out of contact with Nico..."

"What?" Ye Qingfeng released the bags in his hands directly, and a large bag of mackerel cans scattered on the ground, making a continuous harsh sound.

Although he said he hated them, hearing that they were in trouble left him with only worry and panic. He suppressed the panic in his heart, tried to calm down, and asked Wise with a trembling voice: "What... what's the situation now?"

"Qingfeng, calm down, Nico and the others are temporarily not in danger." Wise patted Ye Qingfeng on the shoulder. It could be seen that he actually valued Nico and the others very much. He pushed open the door next to the front desk and turned to look at him. "Come in first, I'll explain the situation."

Ye Qingfeng followed Wise into the room and saw Ling sitting at the computer desk looking at him at a glance.

She vaguely heard Ye Qingfeng's voice not long after Wise went out, immediately pricked up her ears to confirm the situation. At this time, there was no sound of talking outside, only two sets of footsteps approaching her direction. She hurriedly turned around and looked at the door with wide eyes.

"Qingfeng, you're back!"

Seeing Ye Qingfeng come in, she stood up abruptly and waved at him with a face full of infatuation.

Wise saw Ling's infatuated smile and sighed lightly. For his sister who had lived with him for so long, he knew very well that she had fallen for Ye Qingfeng in a somewhat hopeless way.

For this, he even thought Ye Qingfeng had fed Ling a love potion. He even secretly flipped through his sister's phone, but their chat history was relatively normal, except for the two outrageous things his sister sent from time to time.

He could see that it was just Ling's unrequited love for Ye Qingfeng. Although he didn't know why his sister would suddenly like him, he even spent a large sum of money to ask Nico for information.

Under Nico's trickery, he spent a huge sum of money and found out all the information she knew.

Combined with the Ye Qingfeng in Nico's mouth and his chatting during this period, overall, Wise was relatively at ease with him and didn't intend to block their development too much.

However! At the very least, he couldn't let Ling give herself away too quickly! Of course, he still had to give his sister help from time to time!

After all... ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
