Doomsday B&B

That afternoon, after returning to his residence from the shopping street, Xu Yang went out again. He returned before dinner, and as soon as he entered, he saw Qi Yun and the other four members of his team already seated in the dining room, looking as if they were waiting for him to start the meal.

Qi Yun saw Xu Yang enter and quickly greeted him:

"Xu Yang, hurry up and go wash your hands and come eat. We're just waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang quickly washed his hands and went to the restaurant:

"What delicious food are you going to eat? Wait here for me. Judging from this, it seems like my sister Qiyun is treating again."

"Alright, stop joking around and sit down. We've been waiting for you."

"Okay, my dear sister, I'll sit down now. You have to wait until I come back to find out what we're eating."

Qi Yun and the others remained silent. Only Zhou Chen raised his hand and lifted the heat lamp cover above the dining table, revealing three barbecue plates underneath. After looking at the rest, Xu Yang understood.

"My dear Qiyun sister, since I met you, it feels like I've entered paradise! Why don't you take me in?" Xu Yang said with a grin.

"Alright, Xu Yang, stop fooling around and eat. The two of you sitting facing each other are sharing one baking tray."

"Understood, Captain." After saying that, Xu Yang picked up the chopsticks that had been prepared on the table and began to place the meat on the grill. While the meat was cooking, he poured some dry seasoning into his plate and began to eat.

This time, Qi Yun and Han Yun sat facing each other, and the atmosphere between them was incredibly strange. They were both very quiet, with only the sizzling of the grill. But if you looked closely, you could see that Qi Yun was the one who was seriously eating, while Han Yun was constantly putting meat on the grill, but he was eating very little.

Compared to Han Yun and Qi Yun's quietness, the other four were quite lively, snatching each other's chopsticks and bites. Especially with Xu Yang, the chatterbox, the four of them seemed like more than ten people. People say that one woman is worth 500 ducks, then Xu Yang alone is definitely worth 3000 ducks. His mouth is just too talkative; he keeps chattering away. I don't know where he gets so much to say.

The barbecue took two or three hours and used more ingredients than the hot pot they had for lunch, but Qi Yun didn't care at all. She had plenty of points to use, and the ingredients were quite cheap in her shop. She felt it was worthwhile to use a small amount of points to earn more in the future, so she wasn't stingy with her current investment.

Everyone put down their chopsticks. Xu Yang happily handed Qi Yun a few pieces of paper, proudly showing them off like a treasure:

"Sister, look, what is this?"

Qi Yun took it and looked at it:

"So you went out again after you came back to rent a shop for me, and even got a business license. You're amazing, Xu Yang."

"Hehe, compared to what my sister treated us to, this is nothing. By the way, sister, are you in a hurry to open?"

"I'm not in a hurry. Let's just combine the two shops tomorrow morning and do some basic renovations. We can deal with the rest next time."

"Well, that's perfect timing. We've already accepted our mission, and we're leaving tomorrow. Let's go back to the guesthouse together to stock up on some supplies before we start the mission, right, Captain?" Xu Yang's last sentence was clearly directed at Han Yun.

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Han Yun raised his head:

"Yes, we'll leave after lunch tomorrow and arrive at the guesthouse before dinner."

"That's great! By the way, everyone should skip breakfast tomorrow. I'll take care of all three meals tomorrow. Remember to let me know in advance what you all want to eat!"

"Oh dear, I can't accept that, Sister Qiyun."

"Hmm, how about I don't have to provide meals then?"

"How could Sister Qiyun do this?"

"Haha. I won't go back on my word since I've already promised, don't worry."

"Then thank you, Sister Qiyun."

"Hahahaha." As the conversation ended, Qi Yun and Xu Yang looked at each other and laughed out loud in unison. The other four people also laughed at the two's funny conversation.

"Keep these for your midnight snack tonight." After saying that, Qi Yun got up, left some drinks and fruit, and went upstairs. After all, she had spent the whole day shopping and was quite tired.

The next morning, Qi Yun got up early, washed up, and went downstairs.

After going downstairs, Qi Yun went to the restaurant and began preparing breakfast. There was soy milk, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, wontons, flatbread, white porridge, pickled vegetables, meat buns, vegetarian buns, sandwiches, bacon, bread slices, jam, milk, freshly squeezed juice... The variety was not only extensive, but also included both Chinese and Western options, which could fully meet the different breakfast needs of different people.

Qi Yun had just finished setting out breakfast when the other five people arrived at Xiao Lou. Seeing the table full of food, Xu Yang exclaimed dramatically:

"Wow, Sister Qiyun, living with you is so wonderful! I don't even know what to say! Why don't you take me in, okay?!" The last word had barely left his lips when Xu Yang felt himself enveloped by a chilling aura. He shivered and quickly pulled a coat from his spatial storage, muttering to himself as he did so:

"Why do I suddenly feel a chill?" Han Yun looked away from him, quickly walked to the dining table and sat down, noticing the place he hadn't seen.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, go help Miss Qiyun with the shop renovations, Zhou Chen." Han Yun's words were clearly directed at both Xu Yang and Zhou Chen.

"I know, Captain."

"Okay, Captain."

After breakfast, the others prepared the things they needed for the trip and mission, while Xu Yang and Zhou Chen walked with Qi Yun to the shop that Xu Yang had rented for Qi Yun.

Upon arriving at the shop, Xu Yang stepped forward and opened the doors of both shops. Qi Yun went inside to take a look and then spoke to Zhou Chen:

"Then I'll trouble you from now on."

"No trouble."

"Okay, let me explain my plan. First, we'll open up everything except the load-bearing parts, remove the upstairs area of ​​one shop, and convert the upstairs area of ​​the other shop into a dormitory. The staircase leading upstairs will be inside the counter area. Inside the counter area, we'll build a restroom and a staff break room. We'll also build two more public restrooms outside the staff restroom and counter area, three small stalls for men and three for women. The counter will be built starting from the wall near the entrance, in an L-shape, 3 meters long and 3 meters wide. Along the wall, there will be a 2-meter wide and 2.2-meter long space. The staff break room and staff restroom will share a door, which will open onto the break room. However, besides the main entrance, the staff break room will need two doors on either side leading to the counter and the staff restroom. The upstairs access will be located inside the staff break room."

"Hmm, then build two more large restrooms along the staff restrooms, two for men and two for women. That's all for now, is that alright, Zhou Chen?"

"Okay, please step out for a moment, I'll begin now."

"Oh, okay," Qi Yun said as she left the room.

Seeing Qi Yun leave, Zhou Chen started to work, instantly demolishing the second floor of one of the shops. Xu Yang, who was standing nearby, was covered in dust without Zhou Chen's warning.

"Ah, Zhou Chen," Xu Yang called out. At this moment, Zhou Chen raised his hand again, and the two shops were connected, and everything except the load-bearing walls was completely demolished. Xu Yang's mouth was still open when he was covered in dust again, and this time he not only got dusty, but also ate a mouthful of dust.

This time, Xu Yang learned his lesson and didn't say anything more. He quickly ran out the door, found a secluded spot, and began brushing the dust off his clothes. Once he was almost done, Qi Yun handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Have a drink of water and rinse your mouth."

"Thank you, Sister Qiyun." Xu Yang didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the bottle of water without hesitation. She had already eaten so much, so one more bottle of water wouldn't make a difference.

After Xu Yang finished tidying herself up, Zhou Chen also came out of the shop:

"Boss Qiyun, it's ready."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look. Thank you, Zhou Chen," she said, handing him a bottle of water.

Zhou silently accepted the water.

Knowing Zhou Chen's personality, Qi Yun didn't feel unhappy about the comparison.

Once inside the combined shop, Qi Yun looked around. Zhou Chen had not only perfectly modified what she had suggested, but he had also combined the main entrance into one, redone the floor, and even built a row of 40-centimeter-wide shelves inside the counter, with a row of 60-centimeter-wide seats in front of the shelves, each 1.5 meters long.

After looking around, Qi Yun spoke with satisfaction:

"Okay, that's good enough. We can talk about the rest next time we come to the base. Let's go. Please lock the shop door and keep the key to this shop safe." With that, he led the way out.

"Okay, then, Sister Qiyun, do I need to pay a storage fee?"

"You're always so glib. Aren't you afraid that if you keep this up, the girls you like will find you repulsive?" At this time, neither of them knew that Qi Yun's words would later come true. When he was pursuing the girl he liked, it was because of his words that the girl actually disliked him. She clearly liked him, but she was unwilling to agree to be with him because of his words.

"Oh, Sister Qiyun, I'm so good at making girls happy, of course I won't, hehe. If I can't win her over, I'll just cling to Sister Qiyun and make her find someone for me until she does!"

"You little rascal, you always blame everything on me. But I'll agree to this. Whenever you want to ask me for help, I'll help you."

"Then it's settled, thank you, dear sister."

……

And so, the two chatted happily all the way back to their lodgings.

We got back around 10 o'clock. After discussing it, we decided to leave early and just grab some instant food on the way, then have a proper meal in the evening.

The other four had already packed their things, so after discussing it, Thunder Squad and Qi Yun went out to drive back to the guesthouse.

Once outside, Qi Yun sat in the passenger seat while Han Yun drove, heading towards the guesthouse.
