Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Come on, Brother Shen, Junior Sister, have some porridge first. I ordered it especially for you."

As soon as Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan sat down, Li Xingyun served them a bowl of porridge and then looked at them with a sly expression.

Shen Ye took a spoonful and tasted it. He thought it tasted pretty good and was nodding when he saw Lu Linxuan stir the porridge a few times with the spoon, then suddenly blushed and said weakly with his head down, "Senior brother, Brother Shen and I aren't married yet!"

"It's only a matter of time," Li Xingyun chuckled.

Shen Ye didn't understand why the two were saying that. He looked at them in confusion, then followed Lu Linxuan's example and stirred the porridge with a spoon. He then turned out the red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts, and longan from underneath.

"So that's what it is. May you have a son soon." Shen Ye chuckled to himself, but he wasn't surprised by the appearance of peanuts. Although peanuts were introduced to the Central Plains in the late Ming Dynasty, the world of Bad Guys is an alternate history. Not to mention peanuts, many regions even grew tobacco, and later, mature artillery technology appeared.

However, none of these are worth investigating further.

Shen Ye gently stirred the porridge in his bowl and said to Li Xingyun, "Brother Li, you're very kind."

"Hehe, I saw it when I was ordering the food. It has a symbolic meaning, right?" Li Xingyun said with a smile.

"Yes, there is, but as Xuan'er said, we're not married yet." It would be a lie for Shen Ye to say he didn't like Lu Linxuan. Although her temper might be a bit bad, that didn't matter. When you like someone, you don't have to care about their temper or personality. Besides, as a member of the "appearance association," Lu Linxuan's looks alone were enough for him to work hard for.

"Then you two should get married soon. As your senior brother, I'll be waiting for that day," Li Xingyun said.

He had noticed the gazes around him long ago. Even though everyone was hiding their true feelings, he could still discern some differences among the many eyes directed at him. In particular, he noticed the intense gazes of Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian among the Nine Heavens Saintesses. Even through the air, Li Xingyun could feel the burning intensity in their eyes when they looked at Shen Ye. It was out of consideration for his junior sister that he spoke up.

"Senior brother, why are you in such a hurry? Just like you said, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

After hearing Li Xingyun's words, Lu Linxuan lowered her head shyly, but she also glanced at Ji Ruxue. No explanation was needed; the meaning was clear.

"That girl is very cunning."

The Empress muttered something. Her power far surpassed that of a Great Celestial, and she heard and saw the conversation clearly. After hearing Li Xingyun say that, Lu Linxuan was just blushing. She knew that her man was keeping a mistress outside.

However, perhaps out of love for the house and its crows, or perhaps for other reasons, when she was angry, she only blamed Lu Linxuan.

"Xue'er, this girl isn't as easy to deal with as you say." The Empress looked at Ji Ruxue, her tone somewhat indignant.

When Ji Ruxue returned, she talked to her about Lu Linxuan. However, at that time, Lu Linxuan acted like an innocent little girl, and she didn't think too much about it. But now it seems that not long after she left, this girl who she met at first sight and whom she treated like a younger sister stole her house.

"Keeping one's true abilities hidden."

Ji Ruxue looked embarrassed. She looked at Shen Ye, clenched her fists, and bit her lips until they turned white.

To be honest, her gaze was as sharp as a knife. Even though there were several tables between them, Shen Ye could feel it. Under her cold gaze, he pretended to be nonchalant and lowered his head to drink his porridge.

However, in Li Xingyun's eyes, his manner was tantamount to responding to Lu Linxuan's words. He chuckled and said, "Brother Shen, don't be impatient, take your time. We still need to inform our master about this matter."

Shen Ye almost choked on Li Xingyun's words. He patted his chest hard, trying to let the lotus seed stuck in his throat slide down. Seeing this, Lu Linxuan quickly poured him a glass of water.

However, before he could even touch the water glass that Lu Linxuan handed him, another water glass appeared in front of him.

"Brother Shen, have some water."

Ji Ruxue glanced at Lu Linxuan and said with concern.

Upon seeing Ji Ruxue approach, Lu Linxuan's expression stiffened. After seeing Shen Ye take the water glass that Ji Ruxue had handed him, she frowned slightly and said:

"Sister Xue'er, I can take care of Brother Shen."

"He choked on his porridge, is this how you take care of him?" Ji Ruxue said bluntly.

Lu Linxuan was taken aback, and just as he was wondering what to say, Li Xingyun, who was concerned about her junior sister's happiness, said, "Do you really want to chew up the porridge and feed it to him?"

To everyone's surprise, Ji Ruxue nodded vigorously, with an expression that said, "It's not impossible."

puff!

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye, who was gulping down water, spat out the water he hadn't swallowed yet, and looked at Ji Ruxue in surprise as she blushed immediately after saying those words.

Even modern people wouldn't say that... he thought to himself.

Li Xingyun was equally surprised. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time. Then he muttered to himself, "I want to find a wife like this in the future."

……

(I feel like I've fallen into a writing trap. I want to write about both the plot and the story of recruiting female characters, but when I put them together, it feels a bit messy and bland.)

Chapter 415! A Winner in Life

……

"me too."

Zhang Zifan heard his mutterings and nodded in agreement. Then he glanced at Lu Linxuan and Ji Ruxue, and couldn't help but feel envious of Shen Ye, thinking to himself:

"These are the real winners in life. If I could meet girls as devoted as them, I would die happy... Unfortunately, I met them too late..."

While he was daydreaming, Lu Linxuan, after hearing Ji Ruxue's words, didn't mind the heat, picked up the porridge and took a sip. After chewing it carefully a few times, he puffed out his cheeks and leaned towards Shen Ye, seemingly intending to feed him the porridge mouth-to-mouth.

Shen Ye was taken aback by such a bold move. Wasn't this girl ashamed? There were so many people watching.

But he quickly realized that Lu Linxuan was challenging Ji Ruxue, probably saying, "Since you say so, I will do as you say," which was a kind of silent counterattack and response.

As Lu Linxuan drew closer, Shen Ye considered refusing, but worried about hurting the girl's feelings. Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, Ji Ruxue couldn't stand it anymore and sat down between the two of them, pushing Shen Ye aside and separating them.

"Woooooooo..."

With porridge in her mouth, Lu Linxuan couldn't speak. She could only glare angrily at Ji Ruxue, who was blocking her way. All talk of sisters and cousins ​​vanished at that moment. All she could see was her rival for the man.

"My sister is quite bold. When I'm not around, I bet she offers herself to me every night?" Ji Ruxue said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Linxuan's face flushed, because Ji Ruxue was right. She had indeed thought about it and tried to do it, but she only succeeded once. That time, Shen Ye had invited her because he was afraid she would be in danger.

A fleeting hint of shyness crossed Lu Linxuan's eyes as she swallowed the porridge in her mouth and said defiantly, "So what? Since my sister isn't here, I'll have to take care of Brother Shen for you."

Upon hearing this, regardless of Ji Ruxue's expression, the expressions on Shen Ye's face, as well as those of Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan who were watching the spectacle, were truly fascinating.

Li Xingyun, in particular, stared blankly at his junior sister, wondering how the girl who used to be as thin-skinned as paper had suddenly become so bold and shameless.

Ji Ruxue said in shame and anger, "Your master, Uncle Yang, is a renowned master in the martial arts world. How could he have taught such a shameless disciple like you?"

Lu Linxuan blurted out those words in a moment of passion, but now that the words were out, there was no going back. She was already in a difficult situation, so she stubbornly said, "So what if I'm shameless? If you're afraid of losing face, you can leave Brother Shen now. I'm sure Brother Shen won't blame you—right, Brother Shen?"

"Ha...haha." Shen Ye didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two women. In this situation, silence was the best option, but since Lu Linxuan had asked, he could only chuckle awkwardly in response.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue said angrily, "Then why didn't you leave Brother Shen? Don't forget that I met him first. There has to be a first-come, first-served order."

“Because I have no shame,” Lu Linxuan said, then immediately covered her face. As a sixteen-year-old girl, it took all her courage to say these words.

"you……"

At this moment, Ji Ruxue didn't know what to say. Facing an opponent who was willing to disregard all dignity to compete with her for a man, it seemed that saying anything would be a waste of time.

Looking at the silent Ji Ruxue, Lu Linxuan couldn't help but say with a little pride, "So, sister, please step aside and don't stop your little sister from feeding Brother Shen porridge."

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and took another sip of porridge, seemingly about to use the same trick again to provoke Ji Ruxue once more.

Sure enough, Ji Ruxue's face immediately turned ugly. Looking at Lu Linxuan, who was pouting, she gritted her teeth, picked up Shen Ye's bowl of porridge, took a sip, chewed it a few times, turned to face Shen Ye, cupped his face, and kissed him directly.

"Wow!"

Upon seeing this scene, the onlookers and disciples of the Huanyin Pavilion were in an uproar.

Sitting opposite them, Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan exchanged a glance, seeing envy in each other's eyes.

The Empress, who had been watching them closely, frowned, completely unaware that the spoon in her hand had been shattered by the true energy she had unintentionally released.

Shen Ye hadn't expected Ji Ruxue to pull this stunt. He instinctively tried to turn his head away, but Ji Ruxue held his face in her hands, preventing him from succeeding. He could only subconsciously swallow the porridge that Ji Ruxue fed him mouth-to-mouth.

Soon, Ji Ruxue finished feeding Shen Ye the porridge. Only then did she release her hands from Shen Ye's face and cover her own face instead.

She was shy.

"You're only just realizing how shy you are now..."

Seeing Ji Ruxue's ears turn completely red, Shen Ye found it somewhat amusing. Although he was initially surprised by Ji Ruxue's boldness, after trying it out, he found the experience quite enjoyable and even wanted to try it again.

But it's clear that Ji Ruxue only did this to retaliate against Lu Linxuan; she probably wouldn't do it again.

However, he did not notice that Lu Linxuan had already gotten up and walked to his other side. Just as he was licking his lips as if savoring the memory, Lu Linxuan also launched an attack on him, and like Ji Ruxue, she held his head and kissed him.

"Oh!"

Another uproar and jeers erupted in the courtyard of the inn.

To be honest, Lu Linxuan initially only wanted to provoke Ji Ruxue. After all, she couldn't bring herself to feed Shen Ye porridge mouth-to-mouth in public. But she didn't expect that Ji Ruxue would be the boldest and most shameless one. Seeing that the other party had already done it, she didn't want to admit defeat.

After quickly finishing the porridge in her mouth, Lu Linxuan suddenly felt a little short of breath, and her heart was pounding like a deer. However, she still sat next to Shen Ye as if nothing was wrong, looking at Ji Ruxue with a provocative expression across Shen Ye.

"Junior sister, you are this." Li Xingyun couldn't help but give Lu Linxuan a thumbs up, only to receive a big eye roll from the girl.

At this moment, Shen Ye, who had just enjoyed the mouth-to-mouth service from the two girls, breathed a sigh of relief. As he was wondering whether he should also feed them porridge in the same way, he suddenly felt a resentful gaze coming from the crowd. He turned around and saw the Empress.

Seeing Shen Ye looking at her, the Empress looked away and turned her head to the side, clearly not wanting him to see that she was jealous. But feeling guilty, she turned back and glared at him fiercely.

Shen Ye was somewhat bewildered by the Empress's glare. It wasn't something he had asked for, so he glared back. Then he saw the Empress's expression suddenly turn into one of grievance, and his heart softened, and his gaze softened as well.

……

(My cousin got engaged yesterday, and I spent the whole day drinking with the groom on behalf of the bride, so I couldn't update again. Sorry...)

(However, the chapter I owed from the day before yesterday has already been made up.)

(Also, I need to speed up the plot and introduce more female characters.)
