Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"That's not necessarily true. Alice actually makes money selling flowers." Shen Ye knew that Alice's cost of selling flowers was negligible, and given her low daily expenses, she must have her own little savings.

Of course, Shen Ye didn't expect any money from them.

However, he was still very touched because Tifa was thinking of giving first.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye lowered his head and kissed Tifa's smooth forehead, whispering in her ear, "It's still early, do you want to continue?"

Tifa's face, which had just returned to normal, flushed again. After nodding slightly, she offered Shen Ye a sweet kiss...

……

It wasn't until dawn that Shen Ye came out of room 201. Of course, he took a shower before coming out, since he had spent the whole night with Tifa and his body was still covered in Tifa's scent.

Shen Ye glanced back at Tifa, who was fast asleep but still had a smile on her face, then closed the door and headed straight for room 203.

When they went inside, Alice was still fast asleep.

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, moved a chair over, sat on the edge of the bed, and quietly looked at Alice's face.

For some reason, perhaps he had entered a so-called "wise man mode," or perhaps for some other reason, Shen Ye had no thoughts in his mind as he looked at Alice.

Of course, it's not because Tifa is the only one who makes him impulsive, nor is it because he sees Tifa as someone to release his desires, but rather because the two women have completely different personalities.

Compared to the lively and adorable Tifa, Alice's personality is usually rather introverted, and she can be quite melancholic at times.

"Don't worry, Alice, I will definitely save your fate." After saying this, Shen Ye gave a wry smile.

I feel like I'm being a bit of a jerk. I just had a sweet moment with Tifa, and now I'm saying this to Alice.

But soon he realized that he wasn't a jerk at all; he was actually a philanthropist who loved every woman who deserved his love.

With this thought in mind, Shen Ye took Alice's hand, then lay down by the bed and fell asleep.

In any case, he was a little tired after spending the night with Tifa.

..........

He slept soundly until dawn.

Shen Ye, who was sleeping soundly, was unaware that Alice had opened her eyes after the first rays of sunlight shone through the window in the morning.

When Alice opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Shen Ye sleeping by the bedside, and then she realized that her hand was being held firmly by Shen Ye.

"Shen!" Alice called Shen Ye's name, but she didn't want to wake him, so she spoke very softly.

Then, Alice placed Shen Ye's hand next to her face and gently rubbed it, muttering, "Rest well, you must have protected me all night."

However, this subtle movement woke Shen Ye up. He opened his eyes and saw Alice looking at him with tenderness in her eyes.

"Shen, would you like to come up and rest?" Alice asked when she saw Shen Ye wake up. She blushed, as this was the most proactive she had ever been.

"No need!" Shen Ye said somewhat guiltily.

But the more he said that, the more Alice insisted. Without giving him a chance to explain, she threw off the covers and pulled Shen Ye's hand forcefully.

This reminded Shen Ye of his previous memories. After a moment of stunned silence, he abandoned all hesitation and climbed into bed.

Alice covered herself with the blanket and pressed her body tightly against Shen Ye's, feeling the heat emanating from his body, which made her own body feel hot as well.

However, being the quiet and reserved type, she suppressed her discomfort and asked Shen Ye, "Are you tired?"

“A little!” Shen Ye nodded.

"Then get some rest!" Alice patted Shen Ye's hand, then placed his hand on her chest.

The completely different feel from Tifa's made Shen Ye pause. Looking at Alice's satisfied expression, he felt a pang of guilt.

“Alice…” Shen Ye gently stroked Alice’s face with his other hand, then leaned in and kissed her cheek.

The sudden kiss startled Alice, and her flushed cheeks took a long time to return to normal.

"How...how could you do this?" Alice said shyly, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

“Because I like you, Alice!” Shen Ye whispered in her ear.

Alice was stunned for a moment, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Shen... Won't you regret it?" Alice suddenly sobbed. "If... if my future can't always be with you, will you be sad?"

"Alice, I will never let you leave me, never, no matter who it is." Shen Ye stared into Alice's eyes and said, word by word.

"Nothing can separate us!"

……

(I was too busy today. This chapter was supposed to be posted before 6 o'clock, but I was called over for dinner by relatives right after I got off work, so it was postponed until now.)

Chapter 154! Three's Company

……

"Forever? You said it yourself, Shen, that you can never leave me."

Hearing Shen Ye's words, Alice's voice choked with emotion.

"Yes! I said it!" Shen Ye hugged Alice tenderly. Now, he had figured out one thing: Alice now had some memories of the future, and she should know some things that happened in the future.

Because of this, Shen Ye felt even more sorry for Alice, since Alice was essentially suffering from the pain brought about by future memories.

"No matter what method I have to use, I must rescue her from this fate," Shen Ye thought to himself as he held Alice tightly in his arms.

Alice, her eyes brimming with tears, lay in Shen Ye's arms for a long time.

Perhaps because she was too sad, she lay quietly in Shen Ye's arms and fell into a deep sleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, Tifa knocked on the door of room 203.

"Alice, are you awake?" Tifa called from outside the door.

Alice, who had fallen asleep again, was fast asleep and didn't hear Tifa's voice at all. Seeing Tifa knocking on the door repeatedly, Shen Ye had no choice but to answer for Alice: "Tifa, Alice is still sleeping."

Tifa wasn't surprised to hear Shen Ye's voice, since she had knocked on the door of 202 but received no response, so she guessed that Shen Ye must be in Alice's room.

However, even though she had already guessed it, a trace of sadness still flashed in Tifa's eyes. Perhaps she also knew that at this stage, Alice actually held a greater place in Shen Ye's heart than she did.

“I’ll come back to wake you up later.” Tifa was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m going to prepare breakfast. If Alice wakes up, come to room 201.”

"You've worked hard, Tifa." Shen Ye could hear the sadness in Tifa's voice, and he immediately had the urge to rush out and comfort her.

But he was still holding Alice and couldn't get away.

"It's nothing." Fortunately, Tifa was an understanding woman. She shook her head, left the second floor, and went to prepare breakfast for them.

Half an hour later, Alice finally woke up.

Shen Ye then told Alice that Tifa invited them to have breakfast together in room 201.

Alice had no objections, of course. She was also hungry at this time. After washing up, she followed Shen Ye into room 201.

At this moment, Tifa changed back into the clothes she wore when she worked at the bar. Seeing them come in, Tifa quickly greeted them, "Come on over, the breakfast is getting cold."

Hearing this, Alice felt a little embarrassed and stepped forward to take Tifa's hand: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I will never drink again next time," Alice added.

“No, it has nothing to do with that.” Tifa shook her head, glanced at Midnight, and muttered, “I wish you would keep drinking.”

Alice didn't understand what Tifa was muttering, but Shen Ye, who was standing next to her, knew what she was trying to say. His face immediately turned red, and he then sat down at the dining table.

Breakfast in the slums is very simple, consisting of nothing more than fried eggs and bread, with perhaps an extra bowl of oatmeal.

Although it wasn't to Shen Ye's liking, he was starving and desperately needed to replenish his energy.

While Shen Ye was eating his breakfast heartily, Tifa and Alice were chatting idly while eating.

"Alice, how much do you usually earn in one night selling flowers?" Tifa hadn't forgotten the house-buying discussion she had with Shen Ye earlier.

Alice was a little confused, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "It's usually one dollar a flower. In one night, you can earn about twenty or thirty dollars. Of course, if you meet a rich person, you can sell more."

"Twenty or thirty?" Tifa naturally omitted the latter part of Alice's answer. She glanced at Shen Ye, a smug look suddenly flashing in her eyes. Compared to Alice's earnings from selling flowers, her bar clearly earned more.

"Why are you asking this?" Alice asked Tifa after taking a sip of her oatmeal.

Tifa couldn't possibly tell Alice. She shook her head, smiled faintly, but quickly masked it, saying, "It's nothing."

“I hate riddle people.” Alice said, pouting, when Tifa shook her head.

……

Breakfast time passed quickly as the three chatted.

Since she had nothing to do during the day, Alice decided not to go back yet. So after breakfast, she borrowed Tifa's phone and called her foster mother.

"Alice, are you with Shen right now?" Emina asked immediately after the call connected.

"We were together all night!" Alice said with some dissatisfaction, because usually her mother's first concern was for her.

"All night?" Emina paused noticeably, then asked lightly, "From what you're saying, you're staying in the same room?"

Alice hadn't expected her mother to be concerned about this, and she immediately replied, "Of course! The rooms outside are very expensive."

"That's alright then." Emina's tone was even more delighted.

Alice wasn't a little girl, nor was she stupid. How could she not understand what her mother meant? She blushed and said, "We just stayed in one room, we didn't do anything else."
