Chapter 526 Sand Sea 20 (The End)
"I haven't run into you once since I came back from the desert. Do you live in Shunjing?"
"Yeah, but I don't go out much."
Hearing this, Hei Xiazi smiled and raised an eyebrow at her: "I didn't expect I had so much influence that I could let you out."
"It's different when someone invites you to dinner."
Hei Xiazi smiled knowingly: "When I go out to eat with people, I usually don't have to pay for it myself."
Zhang Chuzhen raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you already owe me two meals?"
"Yes, you can have two more meals if you want."
"Next time, I'll have green pepper and shredded pork fried rice again. I'm not coming back. The oil cost is more expensive than this."
"Hehehe, okay, you can make your request."
Zhang Chuzhen thought for a moment, then said with a mischievous smile, "Let's go to the Crescent Hotel then."
Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi's smile froze: "Actually, the taste there is just average."
"I want to try it."
Are you sure? Don't you want to think about other options?
Seeing his concern, Zhang Chuzhen suppressed a smile and said, "Absolutely certain."
Black Bear gritted his teeth and agreed: "Fine, Crescent Hotel it is, then I'll bleed once."
"Brother Hei is generous. I'll wait for your news later. I'm off!" Zhang Chuzhen put down the tissue she was wiping her mouth with and stood up.
"Wait, tell me what you'll be busy with next, and do you need any help?"
"No need for help, I'm busy taking care of my retirement."
Black Bear: "Retirement? Retire at such a young age?"
"Am I young? I do look quite young." Zhang Chuzhen's words carried a deeper meaning.
He paused for a moment after hearing this, then resumed his smiling expression; she had directly admitted it to him.
Zhang Chuzhen stood there, looking down at him from a slightly lowered gaze.
Hei Xiazi has a high nose bridge, deep-set features, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, giving off a mature, masculine vibe.
Now that her mission is complete, she has other ideas on her mind.
An undeniable gaze swept over her, and Hei Xiazi looked at her mockingly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you eyeing me, Hei Ye?"
Zhang Chuzhen nodded directly: "A little, why don't you name your terms?"
Seeing her nod, it was undeniable that Hei Xiazi's heart was racing.
After saying that, she paused for a moment and then said, "Never mind."
"What, forget it? Are you kidding me?"
His smile, which had just begun to curve upwards, was stunned by her words.
"I was just kidding."
Black Bear said with a narcissistic look, "I, Black Bear, am very charming and attractive, so don't have any worries."
Zhang Chuzhen didn't answer. She smiled and turned around, saying, "I'm going back now. Bye!"
"Wow!! They're moving really fast." Black Bear felt a little uneasy.
"Boss, the bill, please!"
The boss walked over with a grin: "Hey, Blackie, you seem to have a thing for that girl from earlier, don't you? I think you two are quite a good match."
"Didn't you hear that? They're the ones who are after me."
The boss, with an air of experience, said, "All I know is that if you like something, you have to take the initiative to have a chance."
"Let's go, let's go." Black Bear didn't answer him.

Five years later, in the quiet manor, in the bedroom on the third floor of the main building, Zhang Chuzhen was fast asleep on the large bed.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Black Bear, shirtless, walked in carrying a plate of fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork.
He walked to the bedside and placed the stir-fried dish on the bedside table.
After wiping his hands with two wet wipes, he lifted the blanket slightly, pulled the person out, and sat them on his lap: "Are you hungry? Eat something first."
Zhang Chuzhen closed her eyes, leaned on his shoulder and shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I want to sleep a little longer."
"Eat something before you sleep."
"No, I can smell it. It's your favorite green pepper and shredded pork fried rice."
Hei Xiazi had one arm around her waist, unconsciously caressing her. She moved slightly, and felt herself being provoked.
"If you're not eating now, it means you're not hungry yet, so you can eat later."
Zhang Chuzhen was pinned down on the bed by him, and a barrage of kisses overwhelmed her, interrupting her sleep. She felt a little like punching him.
A moment later, she felt a chill on her body and her silk pajamas fell to the ground.
……
Two and a half hours later, the two, having washed up, were sitting at the dining table eating.
Black Bear touched the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly: "I got hit by you twice again."
"It disturbs my sleep, so a couple of light taps shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"If I break my face, will you still like it?"
Zhang Chuzhen smiled and said, "Guess?"
Hei Xiazi, in a dramatic pose, clutched his chest with a wronged expression: "Heartless woman, you've hurt me so much."
Zhang Chuzhen put down his chopsticks, picked up his cigarette case, opened it, and lit a cigarette.
"Why do you suddenly want to smoke?"
"I haven't had enough sleep yet, I need to perk myself up."
During those five years, they often met up for meals and chats.
After developing feelings for each other, they naturally came together, and Zhang Chuzhen also cured Hei Xiazi's eyes.
The warm and comfortable companionship, and the feeling of having someone waiting for him to come home, made Hei Xiazi very nostalgic, and he uncontrollably immersed himself in it.
The manor was filled with puppets crafted by Zhang Chuzhen, who looked no different from humans, so the two of them lived quite comfortably there.
Hei Xiazi would occasionally take on orders and go out for a while, while Zhang Chuzhen would mostly focus on studying weapon crafting. Whenever they had free time, the two of them would go out to play.

Decades later, the black bear turned to look at the people sunbathing on the lawn deck chairs:
"How come you haven't changed at all over the decades? You're still like a young girl."
Even though he lived a long life, he didn't look like a young man in his early twenties.
Zhang Chuzhen casually remarked, "Born beautiful, a blessing from heaven."
Black Bear laughed: "If we go out like this, won't people think I'm very rich?"
Although he was still handsome and tall, Zhang Chuzhen looked about ten years younger than him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chuzhen curled the corners of her lips: "You can clarify that it is I who like older men."
"Older men know how to take care of people. It's lunchtime, I'll cook for you myself."
"No green pepper and shredded pork fried rice."
"Okay, okay, I'll make you something else."
Hei Xiazi had a long lifespan, and Zhang Chuzhen left first after completing his mission.
The two have been together for over a century, and their feelings for each other run deep.
Not long after, Black Bear probably also felt that being alone was meaningless, and let himself pass away.
Back in the system space, Zhong Ning said, "Xiao Qi, settle the account!"
Xiao Qi: "Okay, host."

Xiao Qi: "Host, 20,000 points have been deducted from your reserved points for buying the weapon refining manual and the materials for making the puppet."
Zhong Ning: "I understand. Although these two things cost a lot of points, it's still quite unexpected that the side quest in the last world gave me 50,000 points."
"Because the collected energy has a special function, the score is relatively high."
"Hmm." Zhong Ning didn't ask any more questions and went to rest in her own space.
Some time later, she set off for the next world.
