Zombie Apocalypse: Creation-Chapter 785: A Date with Houqin

"Make sense. Heard a lot of people from those two city eat a lot of spicy hot pot... Here's some more."

As Leyan puts a new plate of spicy dumplings down, Houqin easily finishes it before she stops her from asking Xiaoyun to make another plate.

"I-I'm full."

"That's good, that's good. But you need to eat more, though, okay? You're too skinny for someone who's this tall..."

Watching Houqin nodding her head over and over again, Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel as if a mother was disciplining her daughter.

"Houqin, she's right. You're a little too skinny. I could see your bones on your shoulder pointing out."

"Okay... I'll try my best to eat more."

"Who's eating more? What are you all talking about?"

As Shuli walked into the kitchen, she saw Leyan standing right in front of a seated Houqin and Xiaoyun, with empty plates before them.

"Talking about Houqin. Don't you think she's a little too skinny? Especially when you factor in how tall she is."

"She definitely needs to eat more."

Shuli murmured as she noticed how loose her pajamas were on Houqin's body despite them being average-sized clothes.

"Ahem, Houqin got her lesson... Leyan, did you cook any other breakfast, or did you want everyone else to wait?"

Xiaoyun asked as he shifted the topic away from Houqin after noticing the hint of irritation begin to appear on her face.

"Of course, I cook more breakfast. It's just in the other wok... Let me take it out for you, Shuli."

"Thanks."

As Shuli took a seat in her usual spot, Houqin suddenly looked over to Xiaoyun with hesitation on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiaoyun... Can you drive me back home? I-I just want to dress up f-for my first date—"

"Ho ho ho, who's first date? Houqin, you're not going back home yet. Let Nami and me help you dress up."

Both Nami and Yueyue enter the kitchen at the same time in their casual clothes, sandwiching Houqin right in the middle.

"I don't think that's a good idea. Your guys' clothes aren't going to fit her." Xiaoyun murmured.

"I got every cloth and dress in every size. I'm more than sure you'll find something you'll like... Trust me, Houqin."

As Yueyue puts her firm hand on Houqin's shoulder, she has no choice but to nod her head in agreement.

An hour later...

Xiaoyun was a little stunned as Houqin came downstairs with a white dress. One that perfectly matches her body.

It managed to show enough skin to allure his mind to dig deeper while hiding enough to hide her over-skinny arms with a loose ambiguity.

Not to mention the combination of white stockings and the low-cut heels to lessen her towering height.

"You look very beautiful."

"Thank you..."

"Told you he would like it... Come on, don't just stand there. Go bring your princess to her date."

Nami's words quickly snapped Xiaoyun out of the sofa as he quickly walked up to bring her to the house's garage.

"You ready for your first date?"

Xiaoyun asked as he opened the car door for her, letting her in first before walking over to the other side.

"I-I'm ready."

"Great. Then let's start it... Relax, it's not that scary."

As Xiaoyun opened the garage door, Houqin's face was full of nervousness as the car they were in wasn't his usual SUV.

Rather, it was a Lambo. One that he had borrowed from Anna just for this date.

"Hey Houqin, you want to know something?" Xiaoyun asked as he started to put the seatbelt on.

"What?"

"This is actually my first time driving this kind of car. So get ready and prepare yourself for a fun ride—"

"Ah!"

The engine roared as Xiaoyun shifted the gear and floored the gas, speeding off onto the road as the house vanished into a dot behind them.

"Goddamn, no wonder Kate likes driving this thing. It's really a much faster car than my old car..."

"X-Xiaoyun, I-I don't think we should be d-driving this fast."

"It's fine, I know the in and out of the streets. I have been living here for years now. Just relax and enjoy the speed."

As the car zoomed past the neighborhood, Houqin's hand was holding onto the grab handle for her dear life.

"Time to drive it out of Luoping."

Two minutes later...

The car finally slowed down as the two of them reached Guangzhou proper. They could feel the stares as Xiaoyun waited for a green light.

"Commander, I-I don't think we should be really flexing wealth like this." Houqin nervously murmured.

"Wealth? This car costs less than a dime. You can buy one if you send in a request form tomorrow."

The answer surprised Houqin a little, but she quickly remembered that the gas was the more expensive part, not the car.

"Anyway, when we get back, you're going to be the one driving back," Xiaoyun murmured as he let go of the brake.

"M-Me?"

"Yes, you... And call me Xiaoyun. Or boyfriend. Or babe. Or whatever you like. But no more calling me commander."

"Yes, sir—— I-I mean Xiaoyun."

"You can still call me Commander when we're at work... If that's what you're used to."

After walking in the shopping mall for half an hour, neither of them brought anything as they walked empty-handed.

"Houqin, you don't like shopping?"

Xiaoyun curiously asked, noticing the number of times she just looked at the glass window before walking off with him.

"I like it..." Houqin shyly answered.

"But you don't go inside the shops. Don't you want to try the clothes on? Are you worried about paying for it?"

Houqin shook her head as they walked past a clothing store, stopping right at a store that specifically sells dresses.

"I don't want to buy clothes that I'll only wear once... Mom and Dad always yell at me for having too many clothes in the closet."

"Oh."

Xiaoyun fell into silence as he didn't really have any way to make her feel better, until an idea popped into his head.

"Houqin, come. We're not going to buy any clothes. We're just going to try it out and put it back."

"I-I don't think that's a good idea—"

Before Houqin could refuse, Xiaoyun grabbed onto her hand, forcing her to follow him into the store as a woman quickly came up to welcome them.

"Hello, is there something I can help you with?"

"Can I ask if you have any clothes that fit her style? I just want to see what could help my girlfriend look better."

"You came exactly to the right place. Your lady has a very unique frame that only our store could supply."

As the two of them followed, the worker soon led them to a section full of long dresses that looked similar to the one Houqin was currently wearing.

"Miss, do you know what your size is?"

"Um... I don't remember."

"Let me take some measurements then, if you don't mind."

Houqin quickly stretched out her hand, letting the worker measure with her tape as Xiaoyun watched from the side.

"Mister, do you mind waiting outside for a second?" The worker asked as she moved down to her waist.

"No problem."

Xiaoyun quickly headed back over to the front section, leaving the two of them in the back as the worker started measuring again.

"Miss, you're from Beijing, aren't you?'

The worker suddenly asked as she lifted her dress slightly to put the tape directly onto her waist.

"How do you know?"

"I know a friend who has a similar accent to you... Actually, your accent sounds more like somewhere from Tianjin."

"My parents are from Tianjin," Houqin answered as the worker finally moved her hands out of her dress.

"That adds up. Okay, miss, I think I know what would be the perfect kind of dresses for you."

The worker quickly led Houqin to a different section of the store, one that had a bunch of much more skimpy dresses.

"These clothes are way too revealing..."

"Revealing? They're perfectly right for you... Think about it, Miss, look at your long, pale legs."

Looking down, Houqin could see her long legs covered in white stockings, on top of the white dress that went down to her ankles.

"It would be a shame to cover your advantage, Miss. All men love some naked legs in front of their eyes."

"B-But these dresses are still too revealing on the chest."

Houqin quickly pushed back against it as the dresses in front of her went from her lower chest down to her upper thighs.

"That man out there is the governor, right?"

The word made Houqin freeze in place as she looked over to the worker in disbelief. But she quickly came back to her senses.

"He's just a boyfriend of mine. I don't know what makes you think he's the governor." Houqin calmly answered.

"No need to hide it. I had heard his voice on the TV before. Trust me, Miss, all men love it when their woman wears revealing clothes."

"The governor is no exception. He's going to be all over you when you wear this. If I'm wrong, you can return the clothes free of charge."
