Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

As soon as he left, the singing in the bar seemed to stop for a moment. Although it resumed immediately, anyone who knew a little about music could hear a hint of anger in the sweet singing.

"They paid me to sing, but then they ran away. Did they think I sang badly?"

Although Sharmi was singing on the stage with a blank expression, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes hidden under her bangs. You get what you pay for, but after paying so much money, the person who requested the song ran away halfway through the song. What else could it be but that they thought she sang badly?

She didn't notice that Shen Ye was holding his phone when he left, nor did she notice that he went to the restroom, because she wasn't familiar with the bar.

What she wants to do now is to go over there, grab the other person by the neck, and ask him what exactly happened.

However, she still had professional ethics and couldn't just abandon her audience and run away halfway through her song. She could only suppress her dissatisfaction and sing for those who seemed to be listening to the song but were actually peeking at her.

No sooner had Shen Ye left than a young blond "man" with somewhat effeminate features and stunningly handsome features arrived at the bar.

"Lin, didn't you say someone wanted to discuss a big business deal with me? Where is this person?"

The handsome young "man" not only had a somewhat effeminate appearance, but also a deliberately suppressed voice. He looked around with some curiosity, but the people in the bar were all regulars from before, and there were no unfamiliar faces.

"Joan, you've come at a really bad time. He just went to the restroom." The bartender named Lynn shrugged, and the blond "man" in front of her was none other than Joan, the owner of the bar, who liked to dress as a man.

Speaking of which, although Joan is their boss, she has a very easygoing personality and likes them to call her boss, so the waiters here all call her Joan, or simply call her King based on the bar's name.

“That is indeed very unfortunate.” Joan shrugged, then looked at Sharmie on the stage. Sharmie had already started singing her second song, which was also a ballad.

Joan is a music connoisseur. Although she prefers more energetic rock and jazz, she also likes lyrical songs and classical music. She could hear a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in Sharmi's voice.

But she didn't care about that. She just leaned against the bar, took the cocktail the bartender handed her, took a small sip, and said, "It seems she's very popular. All the customers' eyes are on her. I think I've struck gold. But I think I only signed a contract with her for a live performance. It seems we haven't discussed the revenue sharing from song requests yet..."

"Speaking of which, Lin, were there many people requesting songs today?"

She gets a cut of the profits from song requests during her residency, so naturally she cares most about that.

"Not many, just one," the bartender replied truthfully.

As for the song that Shen Ye sang before paying for it, it was something Xia Ermi sang casually while warming up.

"One... then it seems she sang two songs in a row." Joan asked with some doubt, as she was familiar with the rules of resident singers.

"In fact, this is already the third one."

Qiong was taken aback: "The third song? Is she planning to sing it for free on the first day to boost her popularity?"

"No, it's because the customer gave her so much money that I guess she felt a little embarrassed when she took it, which is why she did that," the bartender said with a smile.

"Give her so much money that she felt embarrassed? Which customer was so generous?" Joan's gaze swept across the bar again, but she still saw the same familiar faces.

The bartender chuckled: "Who else could it be but that gentleman who just went to the restroom? He gave Miss Sharmi a whopping five thousand euros for her song requests! Five thousand! That's two months' salary of mine!"

"Five...five thousand euros?"

Upon hearing the number, Joan's eyes lit up immediately. Although Joan was a bit poor, spending most of her earnings on her younger brother and maintaining the bar's operations, she could still come up with five thousand euros if she gritted her teeth. However, she definitely wouldn't be willing to spend it just for requesting songs.

"He can spend five thousand euros to request songs... He must be extremely rich." Joan's eyes lit up with a gleam like gold coins; she desperately needed the money.

Without hesitation, Joan put down her glass and asked the bartender, "He went to the restroom, right? Do you know which one he's in?"

"How would I know? Besides, our bar only has two restrooms. You could just knock on the door... Wait, Joan, you're not thinking of going to the restroom to find him, are you?" The bartender's eyes widened.

“I have to block the door; I can’t let him get away,” Joan said.

"But... Joan, that's not a good idea," the bartender said hesitantly. "You're a woman, catching a man in the restroom..."

Joan waved her hand to interrupt her: "I've never considered myself a woman, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, do you think he can even tell I'm a woman?"

As she spoke, she pointed to her chest, which was so wide that an airplane could run on it.

"You can't tell from there, but Joan, you're still wearing earrings." The bartender glanced at Joan's ears; beneath her short, golden hair that reached her ears, two ordinary crystal earrings stood out prominently.

"Then I'll take off my earrings."

Without hesitation, Joan took off her earrings and threw them on the bar.

Then, she tidied her hair, trying to look more like a man, and then walked towards the restroom.

The bartender, watching his boss's determined steps and upright figure, was speechless.

……

Chapter 652! Looking for trouble

……

Inside the restroom, Shen Ye, having finished his phone call, took a quick trip to the toilet.

However, just as the toilet was halfway empty, there was a knock on the door.

No man could remain calm in this situation, and Shen Ye immediately shouted impatiently, "There are people inside."

After saying this, he finished rinsing his face, shook himself in relief, pressed the flush button, turned around and opened the door. Without even looking at the person standing at the door, he walked past him and went straight to the sink.

However, the man actually followed and stood beside him.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye frowned and stopped turning on the tap.

"Yes!"

A neutral voice reached his ears.

Shen Ye was stunned. This voice didn't sound like a man's. Could it be her?

With this thought in mind, Shen Ye turned his head and was stunned again.

It really was her.

While Shen Ye was in a daze, Qiong had already finished looking him over, but she didn't look at his appearance; she was only paying attention to his clothes.

"He's decked out in designer brands from head to toe. The shoes he's wearing are worth several days' worth of the bar's revenue. He's definitely a big spender."

Joan thought excitedly, then extended her hand to Shen Ye: "Hello, I am the owner of this bar, Joan. It's nice to meet you. Lin told me that you want to talk to me about a big business deal. May I ask what kind of business it is?"

Shen Ye didn't answer Qiong's question immediately, but instead asked, "I just finished using the toilet and haven't washed my hands yet. Do you really want to shake my hand now?"

But Joan said nonchalantly, "We're all men, it's okay."

But you're not a man!

Shen Ye wanted to say that, but Qiong had already impatiently grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously a few times.

To be honest, although Joan was dressed in men's clothing, which was still androgynous, the touch of her hands was soft and warm. So Joan was a woman after all, and no matter how she changed her clothes, she could not change her gender.

At this moment, Shen Ye also saw a fleeting blush on Qiong's face, guessing that she couldn't completely convince herself to treat him as a real man.

Shen Ye shook his head with amusement, then tried to pull his hand back, but Qiong held on tightly and he couldn't succeed. He could only answer Qiong's question first: "Didn't the bartender tell you?"

Joan shook her head: "Lin only told me that someone wanted to talk to me about a very profitable deal."

"So, what is it?"

Have you ever heard of the KOF tournament?

"Of course I've heard of it." Joan frowned. "You're looking for me to participate in the KOF tournament?"

"Yes." Shen Ye nodded.

"Do you have an invitation?" Joan's eyes lit up as she asked expectantly.

She had long wanted to participate in the KOF tournament, after all, the prize money was very generous. Even if she didn't win the championship, just participating and playing a few matches would earn her a considerable appearance fee.

However, a fighter like her, who is not well-known and has no master, would not be noticed by the organizers at all, and she has no way to participate even if she wanted to.

Looking at Qiong's expectant face, Shen Ye smiled and shook his head: "I don't have an invitation."

Joan's face froze for a moment, then she said with dissatisfaction, "Why did you come to me without an invitation?"

"Don't rush, Miss Qiong. I may not have it, but that doesn't mean the people I know don't," Shen Ye said, shrugging. "Do you remember Xiaobaihe?"

“Of course I remember… wait, what did you just call me? Miss Joan?” Joan frowned: “Lin told you? She’s a bit too talkative. I’ll fire her after this month.”

"Don't involve other people, it has nothing to do with that bartender," Shen Ye quickly said. "The moment I saw you, I knew you were a woman."

That's obviously an excuse; anyone who's played the game knows that.

"Then how did you figure it out?" Joan looked down at her body. Her chest was tightly bound, and there was no movement. She had also taken off her earrings and did not have any other jewelry on her body. If it was just a matter of looks, there were plenty of handsome men out there.

Hearing this, Shen Ye looked at Qiong's neck with a strange expression: "You don't have an Adam's apple. With your height, if you were a man, your Adam's apple would be the same as mine."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his head, revealing his Adam's apple.

Upon hearing this explanation, Joan paused, "Just because of that?"

Shen Ye smiled and said, "Of course it's not just based on that."

Seeing Qiong's puzzled look, Shen Ye felt helpless again. Was this woman's brain not working properly?

With a sigh, Shen Ye said, "I know Xiao Baihe; she told me about it."

"Uh...oh, okay." Joan felt a little embarrassed. Yes, the other party had just said that he knew Little Lily and would definitely tell him his true gender.

Since the other party already knows your gender, then...

Immediately, Qiong released Shen Ye's hand and, somewhat at a loss, put her hands behind her back.

Once her true gender is revealed, she can no longer deceive herself in front of others and see herself as a man.

"Would you like to wash your hands? I just finished using the restroom." Shen Ye pointed to the sink; he had been shaking a few times just now...
