Chapter 214 Business is booming

After the movie ended, Xia Yan got up, wrapped the leftover food in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, ready to eat it when he was hungry later.

He turned on the vacuum cleaner and let it work on its own, put the dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash, and then changed the bedding to a new set, and Xia Yan was free again.

She walked around naked on the beach outside, planning to ask Xiongxiong to play with her while the sun was not so strong.

Back in the lobby, Xiongxiong was not there. Some customers were chatting in the lounge area, while others were playing cards. The atmosphere was peaceful.

Xia Yan walked over and knocked on Xiong Xiong's room door. After three seconds, there was still no response, so he was sure that it was not there.

Maybe he went outside.

She walked through the hall and out the door. There were also many people gathered in the safe zone. They sat on the ground, chatting and laughing, and remained calm in the face of the hordes of zombies outside.

The young man stood in front of the protective shield and took advantage of the zombie's back to strike with a knife.

The breath of living creatures instantly attracted the zombies to surround them. Before they could take out the crystal cores, they were forced to retract their hands and could only watch the dead zombies fall to the ground and be trampled under their feet.

"Oh, what a pity, all the effort was wasted." Bai Zuo felt very regretful and strongly requested Bai You to aim before taking action.

No one would be happy if the crystal core they had obtained flew away like that.

Bai You was very unconvinced, "Don't panic, you can still hook it back when the crystal core is exposed."

The two brothers squatted down and used a small homemade hook to try to hook the crystal core out of a pile of pickles.

The older residents didn't get involved and just watched with smiles on their faces. This was the first time they had seen so many zombies and were not afraid. Thinking about the comfortable days they had lived during this period, it was like living in a dream.

Thinking back to this time last year, it was already unbearably cold outside, and people wearing thin clothes were freezing to death or starving to death on the roadside. Oh, let's cherish the present.

All this is thanks to Boss Xia. If it weren't for this hotel...

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Boss Xia walking past them leisurely. The residents hurriedly put their legs away to avoid being in the way, with warm smiles on their faces.

"Boss Xia is here."

"Yeah, everyone is basking in the sun." Xia Yan replied with a smile.

The others also greeted him one after another. Wherever he looked, there were smiling faces. Everyone looked relaxed and at ease. This was such a rare scene in the end times.

"I couldn't stay in the house, so I ran out to take a look."

"Also, I want to see how those kids get the crystal cores. Maybe I can hook one up and bring it back to the buffet restaurant to spend some money!"

"Haha, you're right. I'll go try it later and buy some more clothes for my wife!"

Zou Yu laughed and hugged the woman beside him, causing her to shyly hit him. Their eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

Xia Yan smiled and said jokingly, "Then I'll have to buy a few more styles."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that Xia Yan walked around the crowd easily and headed towards the outdoor restaurant. She had already seen Xiong Xiong holding a menu and helping customers take orders.

The outdoor tables were full of customers, so I guess Naoki was busy in the kitchen.

She avoided the staff serving tea and walked into the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw Zhikang cooking in formal attire, but the contentment in his eyes revealed his inner emotions.

It turns out that a doctor who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good employee.

Xia Yan glanced at another employee who was helping out on the side. He was also working neatly and efficiently, and the food hygiene was absolutely guaranteed.

She found a chair and sat down, declined the employee who came to pour her water, and looked at Xiong Xiong with a serious look on his face with a smile.

His furry ears twitched from time to time, and his milky voice was full of vitality.

Really want to rua.

After Xiong Xiong finished ordering, he repeated it again. After making sure everything was alright, he turned around and saw the smiling boss. The next second, the corners of his mouth raised high.

"Boss, you're here!"

Xiongxiong walked over quickly, handed the customer's order to Zhikang, then skipped over, hugged her arm, and looked at her with eager eyes, just like a child asking for candy.

Xia Yan endured it again and again, and the evil hand finally touched the furry ears.

She pressed it down, let go, and it bounced back. She was amused at just one look.

Xiongxiong was so well-behaved that he didn't move and let her play with his ears. He felt happy inside because who doesn't like to be close to the boss?

Xia Yan gently touched its wet nose tip. The touch was also wonderful. There were also furry and soft front paws and very chewy pads.

It really heals my heart!

She deliberately pulled out a hair to tickle its ear. Xiongxiong shook his head violently and looked at her with an expression of both aggrieved and helpless. It was so adorable that it touched Xia Yan.

"Bear! You're so adorable!"

Xiongxiongnai snorted softly, and seeing that her claws were about to reach out again, he quickly snatched the plate from the employee's hand, said "Boss, I'll go serve the food first," and ran away.

Xia Yan looked at its fleeing back and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

How can life be boring with Xiong Xiong around?

Xia Yan waited until the outdoor restaurant's business hours were over before calling Zhikang and Xiongxiong, asking them to pack up and go to Lidai Island to play for a while.

"No one will come to see the store this way, so I'll stay." Zhikang took off his chef's uniform, folded it neatly and put it in the closet.

"No, just go straight this time. I'll go next time." Xiongxiong also said.

"No need, everyone go. The store will be fine, and the customers can't leave, so you don't have to worry." Xia Yan made up his mind without hesitation, "I'll go get Xiaowan in a while, and we'll have fun today. It's a rare day off, so no one should slack off."

She has been staying in the main store during this period, and she has never had to worry about the branch store that Xiaowan has been in charge of. She can't forget Xiaowan this time.

He let Xiongxiong and Zhikang wait and play on the private island, and then he ran back to the courtyard and stepped into the branch store.

I haven't been here for a long time. Xiaowan has redecorated the branch and made it neat. The store is packed with guests, and some people are even squatting to eat.

"Is business so good?" Xia Yan muttered, and immediately saw the mermaid Xiaowan standing by the window.

Xia Yan walked over to her and called out, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

"Ah, boss, you're here." Xiao Wan showed surprise. "I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just distracted by the snow. I was just thinking about you when you came over. I'm so happy."

"It's snowing here?" Xia Yan noticed that the streets outside were covered with white snowflakes, and the snow was so deep in the places where no one had cleaned it that it was up to the calf level.

"Well, the temperature dropped overnight a few days ago, and it started snowing that very night. The next day, it was completely white." Xiao Wan saw that she was wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt and continued, "Boss, please don't go out. You might catch a cold."

Xia Yan has been staying in the store. Whether it is the hotel or the safe zone, the temperature has always been constant. He never expected that it has snowed here.

The residential buildings in the distance were all sealed with thick film, not a trace of light could be seen, and no one was walking on the streets, as if it was a deserted and silent city.

She looked around the store and saw that many customers had finished plates in front of them and coats hanging on the backs of their chairs.

Only then did Xia Yan understand why the store was so crowded and customers had to squat to eat.
