Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“If you want, we can make it for you every day,” Divala said slowly, pausing what she was doing.

Chapter 289! A2's Cooking Skills

(A mundane chapter, slice-of-life)

……

For the twin sisters, what they want most is recognition, and Shen Ye's words undoubtedly represent that recognition. Although the request is simple, it is precisely because it is simple that they feel it is even more important.

After saying that, the two sisters stared blankly at Shen Ye, waiting for his reply.

But Shen Ye didn't say anything, he just kept eating his ice cream with his head down. As the twin sisters' eyes gradually became disappointed, he held up the empty bowl: "Can I have another one?"

The twin sisters paused for a moment, then broke into bright smiles. The younger sister, Popola, took the bowl from Shen Ye's hand, bent over, and said with a grin, "Then... please wait a little while..."

The morning flew by, and when Shen Ye decided to leave, he was met with the two sisters' reluctant expressions, which made him hesitate for a while.

However, Shen Ye eventually left. There were still several mouths at home waiting for him to feed them. Although it wouldn't matter if those few didn't eat, it would definitely cause them dissatisfaction.

When Shen Ye returned to the apartment, he found 2B there as well. What surprised him was that he didn't see 9S. He later asked 2B and learned that 9S had gone to observe Pascal Village alone because he was worried about it.

Shen Ye certainly wouldn't say anything about feeling too regretful about this. On the contrary, he felt that this was even better. In his opinion, having him as the only man in his rented house was enough.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that A2's impression of 9S had worsened considerably since returning from Pascal Village. She seemed very dissatisfied, as if she had offended her somewhere. However, in order to make A2 feel better, he naturally wouldn't bring it up again.

One thing to mention is that after Shen Ye returned, she sat on the sofa to rest because there was a new head chef in the house—A2. She had been learning from Yakoll for several days and was preparing to show off her skills at the restaurant.

Shen Ye certainly wouldn't discourage her enthusiasm by refusing her; on the contrary, he felt that he had taken another step closer to realizing his dream of having an artificial maid.

While waiting for A2 to cook, Shen Ye didn't have much peace for long. Ever since Yako smelled the alcohol on him, she had been nagging him about taking care of his health, which annoyed him a lot.

Fortunately, A2 finished preparing lunch soon, freeing Shen Ye from his predicament. However, as soon as he sat down at the table, he saw A2 bring out several dishes that smelled burnt.

Although the androids have a sense of taste, they are not picky eaters. As soon as the dishes were served, 2B and 11B started eating heartily. Even Yako took a few bites and then looked at Shen Ye with a smile. She knew that these dishes were a kind of physiological challenge for humans.

"Shen, why aren't you eating?" A2 asked anxiously when Shen Ye didn't start eating.

Seeing the expectant yet nervous look on A2's face, Shen Ye glanced at the dishes on the table with some trouble in his eyes, then glared at the gloating Yakoll before picking up his chopsticks.

With just one bite, his face flushed red instantly. He forced himself to swallow the food, enduring the physical discomfort.

Suddenly, his dream of having an android maid shattered. A2, just like Robert, had absolutely no talent for cooking, and was even worse. At least Robert's fried bananas had earned his praise—although it was the only dish he could stomach.

"How does it taste?" A2 became nervous again as she watched Shen Ye swallow the food.

Shen Ye nodded expressionlessly: "Artificial humans... are never picky eaters."

A2 didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that he said that, she thought he was satisfied, so she said, "Then eat more. You've worked hard these past few days."

Shen Ye was on the verge of tears, thinking that these past few days hadn't been hard at all; eating your food was the real hardship.

But he knew that people need encouragement, even androids, so he could only slowly shovel food into his mouth while thinking about whether he should personally teach her cooking skills in the future.

……

Training a maid is definitely not something that can be done overnight, especially an artificial maid. After finishing his meal, Shen Ye began to plan in his mind, but he didn't understand this. Perhaps Robert knew, but he needed to return to the real world. Moreover, Robert was only a mediocre maid; her housekeeping skills were far inferior to her combat skills, which was almost exactly the same as A2's.

Fabiola is slightly better, but only slightly better. Moreover, she takes Robert as her role model and learns everything from her. She will probably become Robert the second in the future, so she is not worth looking forward to.

Of course, saying that she is training a maid doesn't mean that A2 is actually treated as a servant. It's just a hobby, nothing strange.

After pondering for a long time in his room, Shen Ye still had no clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it and lay down on the bed to doze off.

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt someone sitting by the bed. Shen Ye thought it was A2, so without opening his eyes, he hugged the other person's waist and went back to sleep.

He slept straight through until evening. When Shen Ye woke up, the person next to him was gone. He got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and found that dinner was almost ready, and A2 was still in charge of cooking.

However, Shen Ye also noticed that there were two more people in the room, the twin sisters. They were huddled next to A2, talking to her and pointing at the pot on the stove, as if they were teaching her how to cook.

Upon seeing Shen Ye emerge, A2 immediately ended her conversation with the twin sisters and said to Shen Ye, "Shen, I made a new dish! I learned it from Diva and Popola. I went out to find them this afternoon."

"Oh!" Shen Ye nodded nonchalantly, thinking to himself that it probably didn't matter who he learned from.

But he immediately realized what was happening and frowned, asking, "When did you leave?"

"While you were sleeping." A2 didn't understand why Shen Ye suddenly asked this.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Shen Ye didn't respond to her, but his brows furrowed even more.

A2 went out in the afternoon, so who was she hugging when she took a nap in the afternoon?

Shen Ye quickly scanned the room, observing everyone's expressions. Everyone's expressions were normal, but 2B and the others looked at him with a puzzled expression when they saw his gaze sweep over them.

……

Chapter 290! A Huge Profit!

……

"Could I have been half asleep? That can't be right."

After scanning the area without finding anything, Shen Ye began to doubt himself, but he clearly remembered that he had hugged someone, and the soft and bouncy touch was definitely not an illusion.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye glanced around again, but everyone's expression remained the same, which made him frown again.

"Shen, what's wrong? Is there something wrong between us?" A2 was puzzled when Shen Ye didn't respond and just kept glancing at everyone.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. No matter who he sided with, it wasn't a losing proposition; it was a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it.

Seeing that Shen Ye was unwilling to talk about it, A2 didn't ask any further. Instead, she smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you go sit at the table? The food will be ready soon. It was taught to be cooked by Divara and Popola, so it's sure to taste great."

As A2 spoke, she was full of confidence and trust in the twin sisters. After all, they had lived in the human era and were very knowledgeable about recipes. Moreover, she wasn't blind; she had naturally noticed Shen Ye's troubled expression when he ate her cooking at noon. Although she still didn't understand why other androids could eat it but he couldn't, she was now determined to redeem herself.

It was rare for Shen Ye to see such a clear smile on A2's face. Although he knew that her personality had changed and she had returned to her original self, she usually only smiled lightly or faintly. This was the first time he had seen such a clear and confident smile.

Even so, Shen Ye didn't have much hope for A2's words, because he noticed that the twin sisters' expressions were a bit off, as if they were quite helpless. He could only say, "I hope so."

A2 clearly sensed the disbelief in Shen Ye's words, but she didn't say anything. After giving a soft hum, she continued preparing her dishes.

Rubbing his eyes, which were still half-closed from sleep, Shen Ye sat down at the dining table. Then, idly resting his chin on his hand, he rhythmically tapped the table with his right fingers before yawning.

Yako sat down next to him, glanced at A2, and said to Shen Ye, "If you had praised her just now, or said that you were looking forward to it, she would probably have been very happy, and might even have given you some perks."

"Of course I understand, but I don't want to suffer after going against my conscience." Shen Ye lowered his voice when he said this. If A2 heard this, he would probably be angry for a long time and it would take a long time to coax him.

"And what kind of benefits could you possibly offer? Sex? That doesn't seem to be an option right now," he added.

Yakoll rolled her eyes at her and spat at him, "Pah, men are all the same, only thinking about that kind of thing."

"Because I'm a normal man," Shen Ye said, shrugging.

He then leaned close to Jakob's ear and asked the question he had been wanting to ask the most: "By the way, I'm curious, can androids actually do that kind of thing? I only know that androids have bionic structures."

Hearing his words, Yakoor's face immediately turned red, and then he said in an annoyed tone, "If you want to know, just ask her. Now she's definitely obedient to you. She'd probably be willing to strip naked in front of you. You can do whatever you want with her then."

"What do you mean by 'you can be naked all the time'? That's not a good way to talk about A2." Shen Ye glanced at A2, recalling the time he accidentally peeked at her taking a shower. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that there was no light at the time, so he couldn't see clearly.

"You know it's not a good idea, yet you still come to ask me. She's a woman, but am I not a woman?" Yako said with some complaint.

"I can't really tell." Shen Ye looked at Yako with his chin up, clicking his tongue and shaking his head. "You're still a bit behind A2."

As he said this, his gaze swept across Yako's chest, which immediately enraged her. However, because there were other people around, she couldn't lash out immediately and could only whisper coldly, "Come on, let's go to the bathroom."

"What?" Shen Ye asked cautiously, seeing her angry expression and realizing he had gone too far.

Yakoll said in a low voice, almost uttering each word clearly, "Aren't you curious? I'll strip naked for you to see, and also let you see if I'm a woman or not."

After saying that, she stood up abruptly, grabbed Shen Ye's arm, and tried to walk towards the bathroom. Shen Ye was so frightened that he quickly pressed her back down and whispered to comfort her.

Although he did want to see it, he felt it wasn't the right time, and with so many eyes watching, he still had his pride.

However, just as he was comforting Yako, 2B and 11B came over. Both of them were wearing relatively loose maid outfits, and their ample breasts swayed with their movements. Then the two of them sat down side by side and looked at Shen Ye together.

2B glanced at the sullen Yakoll and couldn't help but ask Shen Ye, "What were you guys talking about? She seems really angry."

"Haha, I didn't say anything." Shen Ye chuckled and shook his head vigorously.

2B then turned her gaze to Jakob, only to find that Jakob's eyes were lingering on her and 11B's chests.

Then they heard Yakoll mutter, "Even an artificial human, something this big would sag, definitely, absolutely."

"Sagging?"

Although she didn't understand what Yakor meant, 2B still subconsciously looked down, shook her head in confusion, and thought: Where is it sagging? It's clearly very upright.

Little did she know that this action would only further upset Yako, who then slumped onto the table and went off to sulk alone.

Seeing her like this, Shen Ye found it amusing, but wisely refrained from speaking. At this moment, even a word of comfort would likely provoke Yakoor's wrath.

And so, Shen Ye started chatting with 2B and 11B, but it was just casual conversation and didn't involve any other topics.

After chatting for a while, A2 finished preparing the last dish, and 11B immediately got up to help serve it, showing great diligence.
