Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Although he had a driver's license, Shen Ye had never bought a car. Although the place they wanted to go to wasn't far, walking there would take a lot of time, so the three of them could only stand at the entrance of the residential area and wait for a taxi.

Shen Ye's city is located in a south-central inland province. Even in October, the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius. It's only July or August now, and even in the morning, it's extremely hot. While waiting for the bus, Scarlett took out a pair of sunglasses from her handbag, put them on, and fanned her face with her hand, complaining, "Speaking of which, darling, shouldn't we buy a few cars? Not to mention there are so many people in the family now, it's really inconvenient to go out in this hot weather. Just waiting for the bus is torture."

As she spoke, she glanced at Roberta, who was standing on the other side of Shen Ye. Even in this hot weather, Roberta was still dressed in a fully covered maid outfit, as if she didn't feel the heat. However, she still used Roberta as an excuse to continue, "Look at Roberta, she wears so much all the time. I'm fine, but be careful she doesn't get heatstroke!"

But to her surprise, Robert replied calmly, "I'm not hot."

Scarlett's face stiffened instantly, and before she could continue speaking, Robert said, "But we really need to buy a car; it will make grocery shopping much more convenient."

With over a dozen mouths to feed in the family, the daily food consumption is enormous. In addition to groceries, the consumption of snacks and drinks is also significant. Now, Roberto and Fabiola are the ones doing the grocery shopping every day, and with only two hands between them, they are finding it quite difficult to manage.

"It's not like I'm being stingy and not buying it for you..." Hearing the two women's words, Shen Ye shook his head in annoyance and said, "We definitely need to buy one. Before, there were fewer people, and we didn't usually go out, so what was the use of buying a car? Now there are more people, and we will be moving to a more distant place in the future, so we definitely need a car. But before we buy a car, let's find a place to live first."

"Then I'll have a big villa!" Scarlett exclaimed excitedly.

"That's for sure. I reckon even a villa would be too small." Shen Ye did the math and figured that with the current number of people in his family, buying a manor would be more appropriate.

“Then let’s buy a manor,” Scarlett said. “It should be at least a thousand square meters. A small one won’t be enough. Shen, you’ll definitely bring more sisters back in the future.”

Shen Ye clicked his tongue and said, "Scarlett, you seem even more excited than I am."

“Sisters, it doesn’t matter if there are more, as long as you won’t forget us.” Scarlett looked at him, then hugged his arm tightly, the majestic peaks making his heart tremble.

"Stop fooling around, we're still outside."

Despite saying that, Shen Ye was still enjoying himself quite calmly. He looked at Robert and had some bad thoughts: "Robert, tonight... how about we invite Scarlett along?"

Shen Ye had experienced being with twins, and the feeling of having twin sisters was indescribable.

But Robert didn't speak immediately, nor did she feign pitifulness. She simply looked at him quietly. Soon, Shen Ye surrendered and said, "Alright, Robert, you belong to me tonight."

Robert slowly shifted his gaze elsewhere, which relieved Shen Ye, who could clearly feel that the jealousy had lessened considerably.

As the three were talking, a taxi stopped in front of them. The driver rolled down the window and asked, "Where to?"

“The pedestrian street in the city center,” Shen Ye said immediately.

Accompanying Scarlett and Robertt on this trip wasn't just about finding a place to stay; it also involved shopping with them. After all, they were women, and they always wanted to buy some new things.

"Get in the car." The driver smiled. The city center was quite far away, and it was rush hour, so there were a lot of people traveling. This fare would be profitable.

The three got into the car and headed towards the city center. However, with the driver, an outsider, present, Scarlett became much more reserved and didn't say a word the whole way.

However, the driver kept glancing at them. Scarlett, of course, stood out with her blonde hair, while Robert, though she had black hair, was clearly not Chinese. So, after driving for a while, the driver asked, "International students?"

"No, my... friend." Shen Ye thought for a while before answering. After all, in China, if he said they were all his girlfriends, given the taxi driver's words, the whole city would probably know in a few days.

"It doesn't seem like it." The driver shook his head. People in this line of work naturally know how to read people's expressions. However, since Shen Ye didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions. After saying this, he fell silent.

Although Y City is only a third-tier city, the morning rush hour is still very congested, especially today which happens to be a weekend. By the time we got to the pedestrian street, almost an hour had passed.

The drivers are naturally very happy. Even in traffic jams, taxis will keep running on the meter, and sometimes one fare can be equivalent to two fares.

After saying goodbye to the cheerful taxi driver, the three entered the pedestrian street.

As mentioned before, today is a weekend, so even in the morning, there were quite a few people on the pedestrian street. Shen Ye and Robert were still fine, but Scarlett had already started strolling around with great interest.

To be honest, there's not much to buy on pedestrian streets in third-tier cities. Shen Ye had lived in first-tier cities before and knew that in bustling cities, many luxury stores wouldn't be located in such popular places as pedestrian streets. But in third-tier cities, it's different; they have nowhere else to go.

“Honey, I want to buy a few outfits.” Scarlett stopped in front of an underwear store after browsing for a while, and whispered while holding Shen Ye’s arm.

Shen Ye glanced at it and found that it was a store specializing in sexy lingerie. How could he refuse? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Buy, buy a few more, I'll buy them all."

With enough women in the house to take care of everything, there's no shortage of clothes for everyone. So Shen Ye is not only generous, but also full of anticipation. He would never admit that he wants to watch a fashion show like the Miss Universe pageant at home.

……

(Although I just got back from drinking, there will be another chapter later.)

Chapter 328! A Chance Encounter!

(I feel like I should write about some of the satisfying moments in real life? It feels like it would be a waste not to show off a little.)

……

Although Roberta wasn't interested in any kind of sexy lingerie, Scarlett was different. She didn't mind dressing a little more revealing at home and insisted on dragging Roberta inside to sell her a lot of lingerie.

Roberta didn't want to go in at first, but Scarlett's words made her give in.

"You don't want to lose to those androids, do you? They're much more competent than you, a mere maid."

Before he could refute the last sentence, Robert went into the lingerie store, leaving Shen Ye alone outside. After all, he was a man, and lingerie stores usually didn't allow him to enter.

Shen Ye only refused to go in after seeing that the store was full of women; otherwise, he would have just left with his people, even though Scarlett and the others cared more about it than he did.

Shen Ye waited at the door for a while out of boredom, smoking one cigarette after another to kill time.

After waiting for a long time, Scarlett and Robertt still hadn't come out, but Shen Ye noticed that there were quite a few lingerie missing from the store, knowing that they had probably packed them all up.

After waiting at the door for a while, Scarlett and the others didn't come out, but they unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Old Shen? Shen Ye?"

In the corridor, a young man in his early twenties looked him over carefully and then cautiously called out Shen Ye's name. Beside him, a young woman was holding his arm.

"Old He!" Hearing someone call him, Shen Ye looked in the direction of the voice and immediately recognized the person as his childhood friend and old classmate, He Min.

"I thought I was seeing things!" He Min clicked his tongue, walked up to him and said, then handed him another cigarette.

Then he added, "Why didn't you come to the class reunion a few days ago? I heard from Lao Wu that you were at home those days and even asked him to order a few sets of bunk beds."

The "Old Wu" he mentioned was Shen Ye's old classmate who worked at the furniture market; those bunk beds were ordered from him.

"I don't have time." Shen Ye shrugged. The so-called class reunion was actually just a dinner with high school classmates. Most of them had only known each other for a few years, and their relationship was not even a tenth as good as that with his childhood friend in front of him.

"Luckily you didn't have time. This class reunion was pointless; it was all just showing off." The old classmate patted Shen Ye's shoulder with a relieved look. "Remember Xie Yuan? He spent the whole day telling stories about how he started his business and made his fortune. If we hadn't been roommates before, I would have been cursing him out."

"Luckily I didn't go." Shen Ye also looked relieved, but he didn't want to talk too much about this topic. He looked at the young woman holding He Min's arm and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"

"Hmm." He Min nodded and said, "Her name is Xu Qing. We've been friends for several years. You're the only one who doesn't talk to us much; the other classmates all know. By the way, Xu Qing and I are getting married next month. Remember to come and support us!"

"That's for sure." Shen Ye had a good feeling about this childhood friend. After all, they had grown up together. He had many flaws, but he was still very good to him.

Hearing Shen Ye's words, He Min smiled and patted his shoulder, then asked, "You should have found a girlfriend by now, right? I saw you standing in front of this lingerie store for so long, you must have been waiting for someone."

"Uh..." Shen Ye didn't know how to answer, so he could only vaguely say, "Yes, that's about right."

He Min could tell that he didn't want to reveal too much. Suppressing his urge to look into the shop, he continued, "Speaking of which, you're the oldest among us childhood friends, yet you're still not married. To be honest, I heard people talking about you when I went back to my hometown the other day."

"Let them say what they want, that's all they find amusing." Shen Ye said nonchalantly, not caring at all about becoming a conversation subject at the village's intelligence exchange center. After all, his ancestors had some reputation in his hometown, and he had been used to it since he was a child.

“It’s you. Last time I went back, even with Xu Qing in my arms, I didn’t dare to walk past them.” He Min patted his chest with lingering fear, clearly it was an indelible shadow.

He then offered Shen Ye a cigarette. Shen Ye took it, but only held it in his hand without lighting it. Seeing He Min's hesitant expression, he asked, "Just say what you want to say, but I know what you want to say."

"Hehe." He Min scratched his head and said after a while, "How about I introduce you to my sister-in-law later?"

Shen Ye sighed. He did want to introduce them, but he wanted to show off more. After all, none of the women around him were bad. Even Fabiola, who hadn't fully grown up yet, was a real beauty.

But... he thought of his mother. Now, with him were Scarlett and Robert. Robert was alright, his mother knew him, but Scarlett... he wondered how he would introduce him later. Say he was a friend? His old classmate probably wouldn't believe him.

He started to get a headache.

But just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to start the conversation, Scarlett's voice came from beside him: "Darling, who are they?"

Then, a jade-like arm took his arm.

Now, Shen Ye had an even bigger headache. He turned his head and saw that Scarlett and Robertt had come out. Behind them, the lingerie store employees were packing up the lingerie they had chosen, and judging from the situation, there were quite a lot of them.

"This is... my sister-in-law?" He Min looked at Scarlett, who was holding Shen Ye's arm, and was stunned for a moment. He was not a single-player game enthusiast, so he naturally did not find Scarlett familiar, but he was still surprised by this mature blonde woman.

"I guess so." Shen Ye thought for a moment and then said it anyway.

Then, another arm linked with his arm; this time it was Roberto's.

She clearly understood the situation, so she acted without hesitation.

"Hiss..." He Min clearly gasped. Even if he was slow to notice, he could still see some clues. He felt that his childhood friend and old classmate seemed to be hiding something.

Unlike his surprised gaze, his girlfriend's eyes turned somewhat disdainful. She glanced up and down at Scarlett and Robert, without any particular disgust or other expression, but she just thought Shen Ye seemed a bit of a jerk.

Fortunately, He Min wasn't too oblivious. He tugged at his girlfriend's sleeve and wisely avoided discussing the topic, instead saying, "Remember to come next month."

Then he added, "It doesn't matter who you bring."

This sentence earned him a displeased look from Shen Ye... What kind of talk is that?

……

Chapter 329! Robert's True Thoughts

……

Seemingly realizing he had said the wrong thing, He Min quickly added, "It would be even better if you brought them all together. I'll arrange a separate table for you... Okay, I'll shut up."

Faced with his childhood friend's cold gaze, He Min smiled awkwardly and shut his mouth, but soon he saw Shen Ye suddenly laugh.

“Okay, I’ll bring them all, but remember to arrange an extra table, otherwise there won’t be enough seats.” Shen Ye said smugly. There are more than a dozen people in his family, including himself, so at least two tables need to be arranged to fill the seats. Normally, the housekeeper pays for the banquet, so even if he pays ten times the amount, he will still make a huge profit.

He Min clearly didn't care about whether he would lose money in the future. He stared at Shen Ye in disbelief. After noticing that Scarlett and Robertt beside him looked perfectly normal, he suddenly realized that what Shen Ye said seemed to be true, and his eyes immediately filled with admiration.
