Zongman: The post-2D era

In the night, the night market is bustling with people, and the aroma of various snacks intertwined and filled the air.

Feng Feng and Xue Nai walked side by side, as if drawn by the rich fragrance.

Suddenly, Xueno's attention was attracted by the activity sign on the side. She gently pulled Fengfeng's hand, motioning him to go with her.

On the sign, eye-catching red characters read "Get stamps for free when you collect 30 stores", and below is a picture of a lively night market with people holding all kinds of delicious food and satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Thirty? That's it!"

Xueno's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she thought to herself that she would forgive Fengfeng after he had eaten at thirty restaurants.

She walked quickly to the first stall and picked out a steaming candied haws. The sugar coating was crystal clear under the light and exuded an enticing sweet fragrance.

"Please give me one."

Feng Feng looked at Xue Noi's focused and serious look, and felt helpless that he was going to eat too much today.

He understood that although Yukino appeared cold on the outside, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety about him.

The moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, scattering mottled light under the dark trees, stretching out the two people's shadows.

There was still half of the candied haws left in Xueno's hand. The crystal clear sugar coating trembled slightly in the breeze, reflecting the neon lights of the night market in the distance.

"Feng Feng, it's only fourteen houses, and you can't do it?"

She took a small bite, and the sweet taste melted in her mouth, accompanied by the hustle and bustle of the night market, as if forming a unique night symphony.

"You've only eaten half of the candied haws from the first restaurant!"

Feng Feng leaned on the bench, his eyes inadvertently falling on Xueno's profile.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed in the light and her eyes were shining with excitement.

Suddenly, she gently bumped Feng Feng with her shoulder, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was full of challenge: "There are still fifteen houses, we have to work harder!"

At that moment, Feng Feng seemed to see another side of Xue Noi's heart, the energetic, little devil-like girl in love.

"Understood, my princess."

He smiled, stood up, and walked to the next stall side by side with Yukino.

As the night deepened, Feng Feng and Xue Nai walked side by side between the stalls in the brightly lit night market.

Xueno's eyes were shining, and she seemed to be deeply attracted by all kinds of novel snacks, but her hand was tightly holding Fengfeng's arm.

Feng Feng noticed that there were only a few candied haws left in her other hand, and his eyes were fixed on a fragrant barbecue stall in front of him.

He stopped, turned his head slightly and smiled at Yukino: "This tastes very good, you should like it."

As he said this, he gently took the remaining candied haws from Xueno's hand, ate it in one bite, and then took her hand and walked towards the barbecue stall.

The stall owner greeted him warmly, and Feng Feng skillfully selected a few skewers of golden roasted chicken wings and sausages.

The smoke from the charcoal rises up, interweaving with the neon lights of the night market, forming a unique picture.

"You want to eat this, right?" He glanced at her several times.

Feng Feng picked up a string of grilled wings, blew on it gently, and then handed it to Xueno.

Yukino looked at him with some surprise, but then a faint smile appeared on her lips and she took a small bite.

"It would be nice if you could give me your tenderness when you're running around."

The night is as dark as ink, and the brightly lit night market is still bustling with people.

At the end of the night market, the sign of the 30th shop stood out in the night, with the words "Golden Egg Fried Rice" written on it in large letters.

Feng Feng and Xue Nai stood in front of the store, looking at the huge plate with a diameter of one meter in front of them, with fried rice piled on it like a mountain of gold, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.

The two of them sat at the table, the egg fried rice in front of them looked like a small mountain. The golden rice grains sparkled attractively under the light, and gave off a rich aroma.

Feng Feng picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of fried rice. He felt it was heavy, as if every grain of rice contained endless importance.

"Yukino, let's pay and give up the event."

He blew gently and put the fried rice into his mouth, only to feel its delicate taste and fragrance. The aroma of egg and rice intertwined together, forming an indescribable deliciousness.

In the darkness of the night, Feng Feng picked up a glass of water on the table and took a sip. The cool water instantly moistened his dry throat.

He looked up at Yukino, only to see that her eyes were wide open and the spoon in her hand was already reaching for the "hill" of fried rice.

"I know, I'll eat it, okay?"

Feng Feng's heart tightened and he quickly stretched out his arm to block her spoon.

"Eat slowly, don't hold on."

He reminded with a smile, his voice full of fondness.

Yukino was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face and a mischievous light flashed in her eyes.

"The event poster said that couples who eat at 30 restaurants together will be together forever."

She put down the spoon, clasped her hands together, her red lips glistening with oil, as if she was praying: "It's really delicious!"

Feng Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

He no longer hesitated, picked up the spoon and started eating voraciously.

The golden egg fried rice sparkles with an alluring luster under the light, as if every spoonful is filled with happiness.

Feng Feng ate with big mouthfuls, a satisfied smile on his face, while his other hand pressed on his stomach to speed up digestion.

The night is as silky as silk, dotted with stars, as if decorating the background for this happy pair of friends.

"Yukino, the poster is actually promoting the relationship between couples who are willing to eat their fill for their significant other, okay?"

Feng Feng and Xue Nai walked hand in hand slowly on the way home. Their shadows were stretched out long under the dim street lights, like two intertwined paintings.

Xueno's profile looked particularly gentle under the light of the street lamp. She gently supported Fengfeng, fearing that he would eat too much and walk unsteadily.

"Yes! So, I will let you eat up a little bit of unhappiness."

Feng Feng's face was filled with satisfaction, with undried rice grains hanging from the corners of his mouth, and he looked like he was determined to enjoy life to the fullest.

Although the two walked slowly, each step was full of tacit understanding and harmony. Their laughter rang out from time to time, like the most beautiful notes in the night sky, gently drifting in the wind.

Chapter 733 Sakurada's Meteor

Monday, July 3

In the corridor of the academy, Feng Feng and Yukinoshita Yukino walked towards the classroom while chatting and laughing.

Just as the two were immersed in this simple happiness, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the sky, accompanied by a strange wave.

Feng Feng stopped, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the blue sky where the light disappeared, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

"What is that?" Yukino asked curiously, her voice full of confusion.

Feng Feng shook his head, frowning: "I don't know, but I feel a certain calling."

He took a deep breath, as if making up his mind, and said, "I'll go take a look."

After saying that, Xue Nai grabbed Feng Feng's hand and said, "If you step into the unknown night again, run towards the direction of that strange light, and look for the extraordinary secrets hidden in the ordinary."

"I... will let you accompany me to the night market every day. Stay."

A voice suddenly sounded beside Feng Feng's ears: "Lord of Utopia, please save Sakurada. Asai Megumi uses her ability to turn into a meteor... please..."

Feng Feng tilted his head and touched his ear, but the sound in his ear disappeared in the noise like a cell phone with poor signal.

Feng Feng frowned, trying to catch the faint and intermittent sound, but it was like the noise in the wind, flickering and eventually dissipating into the air.

Just as he was immersed in this sudden vision, a rapid and loud ringing sound suddenly rang out, like a long alarm bell, penetrating the entire corridor.

When Xueno saw this, her heart tightened. She knew it was the bell for class.

She hurriedly grabbed Feng Feng's arm, with an anxious look on her face: "Feng Feng, class is about to start, we have to hurry back to the classroom!"

As she spoke, she pulled Feng Feng and the two of them hurried through the corridor. The eyes of the crowd were all on them, but they only saw two figures quickly disappear at the classroom door.

Feng Feng sat at the desk by the window. The sunlight from outside the window shone on his face in patches, but it could not dispel the solemnity between his brows.

His gaze passed through the half-open window and toward the sky where the meteor had just passed, as if he could still catch a trace of strange fluctuations in the air.

In the classroom, the students' discussions rose and fell, like a surging wave.

Some said excitedly: "That meteor is so beautiful, I have never seen such a bright meteor!" Others speculated: "Do you think it could be an alien signal?"

Feng Feng's heart had already drifted far away. He seemed to be able to hear the faint and intermittent calling, as if through a thick fog, both clear and blurry.

He turned his head slightly to avoid the inquiring gaze from the teacher on the podium, but his heart was surging.

Sakurada is the name of a city built with superpowers, and Asai Megumi is the manager of Sakurada.

If the meteor was Sakurada's Asai Megumi, then Sakurada might have been reduced to ashes.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Xueno shook Feng Feng who was in deep thought and placed the phone screen in front of him.

The news report on the screen said that the meteor was some kind of unknown space return capsule, and the research institute and relevant departments had cordoned off the scene.

"Are you relieved?"

Xueno's voice broke Feng Feng's thoughts. She gently took back the phone and a warm smile appeared on her face.

The sunlight shines through the window and dances on the ends of her hair like a golden elf dancing.

She stood up and took out an exquisite lunch box from her desk. The cartoon pattern on the lid sparkled in the sunlight.

"The people at the research center will take care of it, don't worry too much."

Xueno's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current flowing into Fengfeng's heart.

She walked over to Feng Feng, put the lunch box on the table, and gently pushed it towards him, "I made a lunch box, let's go have lunch together."

Feng Feng raised his head and met Xueno's clear and bright eyes. The worries in his heart seemed to be melted by the tenderness in those eyes.

He nodded and smiled gently, with a hint of relief and gratitude in his smile.

The two walked out of the classroom side by side, the sunlight shining on them, lengthening their shadows, leaving a warm and beautiful picture in the corridor.

There are a few fallen leaves on the bench in the park.

Feng Feng was chewing the bento that Xue Noi had carefully prepared while swiping the screen on his mobile phone, browsing the news about meteors.

On the screen, the journalist was waving his arms excitedly, and behind him was a huge screen showing the shocking footage of a meteor streaking across the sky.
