…
In fact, as soon as Jessie said this, Tifa had already let go of Shen Ye. She was just suddenly impulsive. In fact, compared with Aerith, she was still more shy in front of outsiders.
Shen Ye, on the other hand, looked indifferent. It was just a kiss, not anything else. Even in front of the child, there was nothing to pay attention to.
Of course, I can't be so sure. After all, Cloud is still next to me. No matter what, I still have to consider his feelings.
The blush on Tifa's face had not yet faded, and she said to everyone, "Thank you for your hard work. I have prepared food and drinks for you. Come in!"
"Great!" Wedge and Biggs shouted and rushed in impatiently.
"Let's go, Brother Cloud. You must be hungry after fighting all night." Seeing Barret and Jessie go in, Shen Ye said to Cloud.
Cloud didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Ye deeply, and then entered the Seventh Heaven Bar.
Tifa's performance just now had made him completely realize that he was no longer as important as Shen Ye in Tifa's heart. The childhood scenes hidden deep in his memory also became blurred at that moment, and he - began to give up.
Since Tifa had hung a closed sign at the door in advance, there were no other customers in the bar, which gave them a great space to celebrate.
"Come on, let's toast to our victory." Barret raised his glass and shouted to Shen Ye and others who were gathered around the table.
"cheers."
"Hey! What's wrong, Brother Cloud, why don't you drink? Is the food not to your liking? This is made by Tifa herself. Even we can't eat it normally." Barret drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and seeing that Cloud didn't move, he asked.
"No, I'm just waiting for the reward you promised me." Cloud said calmly.
"You want the reward now? You're really spoiling the fun." Barrett frowned, but still said to Tifa: "Tifa, is Brother Cloud's reward ready?"
"Well, I'm sorry, Barret. In order to support your actions, I've almost spent all the money. Now I only have - ah, only five hundred left." When she heard the reward, Tifa ran to the bar, opened the cash drawer, counted the money, and said apologetically.
"That's troublesome. Brother Cloud has mentioned the payment to me more than once." Barret sighed and turned to Cloud, "Brother Cloud, I'm afraid we can't pay you all at once. How about paying you a quarter first?"
Cloud hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to nod, he heard Shen Ye say, "Let me pay for Tifa."
"That won't work, Shen, you're also employed by us." Tifa said hurriedly, "Besides, how much money can you make from selling flowers? It's not easy for you to save some money."
"Yes! Shen, let's find a way to deal with the money issue!" Jessie also echoed.
"How much money can you make from selling flowers?" Shen Ye smiled, walked up to Cloud, then turned his wrist and a stack of bills appeared in his hand.
"Barret, how much reward did you agree to?" Shen Ye asked while counting the money.
"Two thousand." Barret looked at the money in Shen Ye's hand and was stunned for a moment. Although he was leading a resistance team, he had never seen so much money at the same time in his life.
"Two thousand, right?" Shen Ye pulled out twenty hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Cloud: "Your reward."
Looking at the money Shen Ye handed over, Cloud did not hesitate and took it directly. After all, it was what he deserved.
"Okay! The reward issue has been resolved, let's continue celebrating!" Shen Ye collected the remaining money, clapped his hands, and said to everyone.
Next, the celebration continues...
While Barret and the others were drinking, Tifa pulled Shen Ye outside.
"Here are five hundred yuan. Take it first and I'll give you the rest slowly." As soon as they went out, Tifa stuffed the five hundred yuan into Shen Ye's hand.
Shen Ye looked at the money in his hand, shook his head, and handed the money back, saying with displeasure: "Do we still need to be so polite to each other?"
"But...it was agreed that we would pay for it," Tifa said.
"Doesn't your 'we' include me?" Shen Ye asked back.
"Of course it is included." Tifa said hurriedly.
"That's it, Tifa, so you don't have to pay back the money." Shen Ye scratched Tifa's delicate and beautiful nose: "You are mine now, don't be so polite, don't do this again next time, understand?"
Tifa bit her lip and nodded vigorously.
"Can you stay tonight?" After hugging for a while, Tifa asked hopefully.
Shen Ye was about to nod, but suddenly remembered that Aerith should be waiting for him too, so he shook his head: "I'm sorry, Tifa, I..."
"Okay, okay, no need to say more, I get it." Tifa knew what Shen Ye wanted to say. This considerate woman stopped Shen Ye from saying anything, then smiled sweetly and said, "Come back when you are free."
Shen Ye nodded, then hugged Tifa even tighter.
…
Late at night, in the Fifth District, at Aerith's house.
Aerith yawned at the dining table, then she looked at the time and found that it was already past one in the morning.
"Oh my god, why hasn't he come back yet? The food is cold again." Aerith looked at the food on the table and complained because she had already heated it up three times.
Just as she was about to get up and reheat the food for the fourth time.
The door opened.
"Sorry, Aerith, I'm back late." Looking at Aerith sitting at the dining table, Shen Ye's heart tightened, knowing that she must have been waiting for him for a long time. He said with both emotion and guilt.
"It's okay, I'm glad you're back!" Aerith didn't care, because she was in a very good mood. Then she stood up and said, "I'll go heat up the food for you."
"No thanks." Shen Ye walked to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the rich dishes on the table, he picked up a dish and took a bite.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Aerith supported her chin and looked at Shen Ye with a smile. Although this was not the first time she cooked for Shen Ye, he would ask this every time.
"Delicious." When Shen Ye was in the Seventh Heaven, he was only busy drinking and only ate some dishes casually. Now he is already hungry.
"If it's delicious, eat it all!" Aerith's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she continued to help Shen Ye pick up food, while she kept saying:
"Thank you for your hard work today! Shen, you really did it!"
"It will definitely get better in the future!"
"We must continue to do this in the future!"
"…"
