Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“I know, I know.” Emina, being an experienced woman, could tell that Alice was shy. She said bluntly, “I actually hope something happens between you two, so I can raise another little Alice. Ah, I really hope she’s as cute as little Marlene.”

"Oh dear! Mother, what are you saying!" Alice became even more embarrassed: "Don't say that."

“But you’ve grown up, Alice. When I was your age…” Emina stopped there and fell silent.

She thought of her husband who died in the Shinra vs. Gotai War. If it weren't for the war, she would definitely have her own biological child.

Shen Ye, who was listening to their conversation, clearly noticed that Amina's mood was a bit off, so he took the phone from Alice's hand.

“Ms. Emina, are you still listening?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, I am,” Emina said, sniffing.

"Well, Ms. Emina, Alice and I will probably be back quite late today, and I'd like to take her out for a stroll. What do you think?" Shen Ye steered the conversation toward him and Alice.

“Of course.” Emina pushed aside her thoughts. “I hope you have fun.”

"Don't worry, it definitely will," Shen Ye said with a smile.

He then chatted with Amina for a while before hanging up the phone.

After returning the phone to Tifa, Shen Ye asked her again, "Want to come along?"

How could Tifa possibly refuse? She nodded vigorously.

.........

Chapter 155! Small win? Big win?

……

Seeing that Tifa was also going, Alice was actually a little unhappy. She had thought this would be a time for just her and Shen Ye, but now there was someone else.

After a disgruntled snort, the slight sisterly affection that had arisen between the previously intimate Latifah hands vanished instantly.

"Tifa, you're going too? What about your bar? Won't it be open during the day?" Alice asked tentatively.

“It doesn’t matter whether we’re open during the day or not. Most of our customers have to go to work during the day anyway. It’s better to go shopping with you than to stay at a bar that’s deserted all day!” Tifa understood Alice’s meaning perfectly well. If it were last night, she might have given up because of those words… but now, she couldn’t back down.

So she added, "On the contrary, Alice, I heard from Shen that you usually take care of your flower garden during the day. Hmm, flowers that are not cared for must be very pitiful!"

“The flowers I grow are very resilient; they won’t have any problems even if I leave them unattended for a day.” Alice glanced at her. “Besides, I plan to spend the whole day with Shen today, including tonight. Tifa, doesn’t your bar have any customers at night?”

"It's no big deal if the bar doesn't open for a day. I'll just put up a sign saying it's closed today," Tifa said nonchalantly, showing no sign of backing down.

"Anyway, it won't go bankrupt even if it doesn't open for a day."

The two women's barbed and sarcastic exchange gave Shen Ye a headache. Seeing them getting closer and closer as they talked, Shen Ye had no choice but to step between them and separate them.

"Let's discuss where we should go shopping later!" he said.

Seeing that Shen Ye had spoken, the two women naturally couldn't continue their argument. They exchanged a glance, each snorted, and turned their heads away, which made Shen Ye smile wryly again.

Next, we discussed where to go shopping.

Shen Ye has been in this world for so many days, and he has only been to three slums: the fifth, sixth, and seventh slums, as well as the discs above the first and eighth blocks.

So after discussing it for a while, they decided to go shopping at the Eighth Circle.

Before setting off, Alice said she wanted to take a shower first, since she had been wearing the same clothes all day and they smelled of alcohol.

However, she encountered a problem: she had no clean clothes to change into.

Shen Ye originally said he would just find a clothing store nearby and buy her an outfit to make do, and then pick out a few nicer outfits for her in the commercial area on the roundabout.

But then Tifa suggested that Alice wear her clothes.

“They’re all brand new, I haven’t even worn them yet!” A sly smile flickered in Tifa’s eyes.

Alice didn't want Shen Ye to make the trip, so she agreed to Tifa's suggestion.

Then she regretted it.

When she finished showering and was about to change into the clothes Tifa had given her, she found that Tifa's clothes were a bit too loose for her, especially the underwear, which kept slipping down after she put it on.

"How infuriating! She definitely did it on purpose." Alice clenched her little fists indignantly. Although she knew she would lose after the last visual assessment, she didn't expect to lose so thoroughly.

Finally, she had no choice but to put on her underwear.

Alice emerged from the bathroom with a dark expression and saw Tifa standing guard at the door.

Tifa asked her calmly, "Alice, does the dress fit?"

These words reignited Alice's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down. She glared at Tifa, but since Shen Ye was watching TV in the living room, she could only snort and walk past Tifa, going straight to Shen Ye's side and shoving the towel in her hand into his.

"Dry my hair," Alice said sullenly.

Hearing Alice's seemingly unhappy tone, Shen Ye was a little confused, but he still started to dry Alice's hair.

As for Tifa, although Alice didn't answer her question, she already knew the answer. She glanced into the bathroom and, sure enough, the underwear she had given Alice was mixed in with the clothes Alice had changed out of.

"Yay!" Tifa mentally gave a thumbs-up. After all, a small win is still a win, and in this situation, she was a big winner.

With the mindset of a victor, Tifa walked into the living room with her head held high. However, when she saw Shen Ye carefully and skillfully drying Alice's hair, she felt that she hadn't really won big, and her straight back softened again.

Seeing Tifa's change in posture, Alice guessed why Tifa was acting this way, and a smug smile immediately appeared on her face.

"No, we have to put buying a house on the agenda." Looking at the smile on Alice's face, Tifa felt that she couldn't delay any longer. Now that Shen Ye was living with Alice, even if she won in some aspects, the final result was still... a loss.

……

When they got up in the morning, it was already very late.

Women are usually quite slow when taking a bath, and Alice was no exception. It also took some time to dry her hair, so by the time the three of them set off, it was almost noon.

Just like in the real world, Midgar experiences peak traffic congestion during the morning, noon, and evening. It took the three of them quite a bit of effort to reach Disc 8.

Roundabout No. 8 is not as lively during the day as it is at night, but there are still quite a few people. Those strolling around the streets now are mostly wealthy people living in the upper-class area.

Tifa and Alice were more familiar with the area than Shen Ye, so after getting off the bus, they basically led Shen Ye to the places they wanted to go.

In fact, when women go shopping, it's nothing more than buying and eating.

Since it was past noon, the three of them didn't go looking for a place to have lunch. Instead, they bought some snacks and ate them while strolling around.

Shen Ye wasn't used to the taste of the snacks and treats in this world, so he only ate a bite when Alice or Tifa fed him. This caused the two girls to gradually start competing with each other on this matter. As soon as one finished feeding him, the other would immediately hold up a snack and put it to his mouth.

So he was already almost full before he had even finished walking down one street.

However, this can be considered a painful yet pleasurable experience, since not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Of course, Shen Ye also had an unexpected discovery. He found a drink that tasted similar to cola. This unexpected discovery surprised him greatly, and he immediately bought a large cup and drank it as he walked around.

After eating, drinking, and shopping for over an hour, the shopping spree entered its second phase.

That means buying, buying, buying.

Women like many things, including but not limited to beautiful clothes, jewelry, and cute gadgets.

Men also enjoy many things, such as seeing the women they like wearing beautiful clothes and jewelry, which is an absolute top-notch visual and spiritual enjoyment.

So they went into a large shopping mall!

……

Chapter 156! Fashion Show

(The plot unfolds gradually)

……

The mall wasn't crowded during the day either, and when they reached the fourth floor, which specialized in women's clothing, they found it even less crowded.

"Sure enough, shopping is more fun when there are more people around," Alice said after looking around and only noticing a few customers passing by for a while.

“Yes, that’s right.” Tifa nodded in agreement.

Then, the three of them began to choose a clothing store.

Soon, they chose a clothing store that seemed to have a wider variety of clothes than other stores.

"Welcome!" Upon seeing the guests arrive, the restaurant staff quickly bowed to them.

The two women nodded and then went off separately to find clothes they liked. Only Shen Ye went straight to the bench in the middle, which was specially prepared for male guests to rest on.

However, before Shen Ye could even sit down comfortably, Tifa called him over.

Shen Ye stood up somewhat helplessly and walked towards Tifa, where he saw her holding a pink kimono.

"Shen, what do you think of this?" Tifa held up the kimono to herself and asked Shen Ye.

“Looks good,” Shen Ye nodded and said.

This was definitely not a perfunctory response; she genuinely thought it was nice, because the kimono in Tifa's hand seemed to be the same style as the one she wore last night, with the hem also only reaching the upper thigh, and it even looked a bit thinner.

“Then… shall I try it on for you?” Tifa said.

"Great!" Shen Ye couldn't have been happier.

Tifa then took the clothes and went into the fitting room.
