Chapter 137 Aerith's Little Trick

　　…

　　As for what Shen Ye said about doing what she could do, Elmyra waved her hand nonchalantly and didn't take it seriously.

　　She is also a very kind person. She only met Aerith's biological mother once and raised her without any profit transaction. To her, one more person means just one more mouth to feed.

　　The two chatted for a while, during which Elmyra also asked about his background and even some family matters.

　　Shen Ye did not answer very carefully, he just said that he was a traveler who came from far away, his parents were safe at home and they lived a relatively harmonious life.

　　Seeing that Shen Ye was unwilling to elaborate, Elmyra did not continue the topic. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and she also believed in her daughter's ability to distinguish, so she changed to a lighter topic and continued chatting.

　　When the two were chatting and laughing happily, the bathroom door opened.

　　Then, little Marlene was seen wrapped in a large bath towel, rushing towards Shen Ye in a hurry.

　　"Uncle..." Marlene shouted in a long voice and threw herself into Shen Ye's arms, but her hair had not been dried yet, and her wet hair soaked a large area of ​​Shen Ye's clothes.

　　Before Shen Ye could say anything, Aerith came out of the bathroom, wearing a shower cap on her head and holding a towel in her hand, and ran over in a hurry.

　　"Little Marlene, next time you have to wait until your hair is dry before you go out. Look, you've wet your uncle's clothes." Aerith straightened Marlene's body from Shen Ye's arms, and then wiped Marlene's head vigorously with a towel.

　　"I'm sorry, uncle."

　　Looking at Shen Ye's chest soaked by her hair, little Marlene lowered her head a little embarrassedly and let Aerith rub her head hard.

　　"It's okay. I have to take a shower and change clothes anyway." Shen Ye wanted to touch little Marlene 's head, but Aerith was still helping her wipe her hair, so he had to reach out and pinch her cheek, which made little Malin pout in dissatisfaction.

　　Looking at this scene, Elmyra was a little dazed. She suddenly thought of her husband. If he had not died in the Wutai War, she should have been able to enjoy this warm moment.

　　Gradually, the corners of Elmyra's eyes became moist.

　　After helping little Marlene dry her hair, Aerith breathed a sigh of relief, took off the shower cap on her head, and said to Marlene with her hands on her hips, "Now that we're done with the bath, you should know what to do next, right?"

　　"Of course it's eating." Little Marlene shouted, raising her little hands.

　　 Aerith thought that little Marlene would answer that she was going to sleep, and was a little surprised by this answer. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

　　Fortunately, Elmyra had already gotten over her sadness. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes by stroking her hair, and then said to little Marlene with a smile: "My poor little one, you must have suffered a lot these days. Tell me, what do you want to eat tonight?"

　　"Hot soup, bread, and fried eggs." Little Marlene said, counting on her fingers.

　　"What about you? Shen." Elmyra looked at Shen Ye.

　　"I can do anything." Shen Ye said.

　　"Well, then, just like little Marlene, double the serving." Elmyra stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Then she turned to Alice and said, "Alice, you can chat with them."

　　"Okay, Mom." Aerith nodded, then picked up little Marlene from Shen Ye's arms, sat in her mother's original position, and sat face to face with Shen Ye.

　　Then, she began to look Shen Ye up and down.

　　While Aerith was looking at Shen Ye, Shen Ye was also looking at Alice. He had only glanced at Aerith before, but now that they were sitting face to face, he could look at her more carefully.

　　I have to say, Aerith is really beautiful, even more beautiful than in the game, and there is a special, indescribable feeling in real life.

　　After looking at each other for a while, Aerith gently played with Marlene's hair with her fingers and asked, "I vaguely heard in the bathroom just now that Mom wants you to stay?"

　　"Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded: "Ms. Elmyra is worried that I have nowhere to go."

　　"She's always so kind." Aerith curled her lips, then asked curiously, "Do you agree?"

　　"I wanted to refuse, but Ms. Elmyra was very insistent, so I had to agree." Shen Ye nodded and repeated what he had said to Elmyra: "But don't worry, I won't live here for nothing. I will do what I can."

　　"Do what you can..." Aerith's eyes lit up when she heard this, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "You said it yourself."

　　"Of course." Shen Ye continued to nod.

　　"Then can I do the job of fetching water and applying fertilizer?" Aerith thought of her own flower garden. Now she could relax a little.

　　"No pressure." Shen Ye roughly guessed the other party's thoughts and said without hesitation.

　　"That's good." Aerith's eyes narrowed as she smiled. No matter how kind a girl is, she will always have her own little tricks.

　　Little Marlene, who was listening to their conversation, raised her head in confusion and asked Shen Ye: "Uncle, are you going to live with Sister Aerith?"

　　"Yes, after all, I am not like you who has a home in this city. I have no one to rely on here." Shen Ye replied with a smile.

　　"Ah! I was thinking of waiting for you to send me home and then inviting you to stay at my house!" The little guy said with some annoyance that his idea was preempted by someone else.

　　However, she soon thought of another solution, and then looked at Aerith pitifully: "Sister Aerith, can I live here too? I am so small, I can't eat much, and I can help you with the work."

　　"That won't do. Your uncle has already told you that you have family here. Doing this will make your family worry." Aerith looked down at little Marlene and said seriously.

　　"Hmph!" Little Marlene crossed her arms unhappily, turned her head to the side, and puffed her lips hard.

　　"Okay, don't be angry." Aerith pinched little Marlene's puffy cheeks with both hands and carefully pulled them to both sides. "Tell your sister where you live, and then we can go to visit you."

　　"Seventh Block!" Little Marlene said vaguely.

　　"Seventh Block? Fortunately, it's not very far." Aerith breathed a sigh of relief. She also liked this cute girl. "If you take a car, you will get there quickly, so don't be angry."

　　"Yes, little Marlene, I will come to play with you when the time comes." Shen Ye also interrupted.

　　"It's not just you, uncle. Sister Aerith also said just now that you all should come together." Little Marlene said.

　　After hearing this, Shen Ye and Aerith looked at each other, then nodded together and said in unison: "No problem."
