Chapter 145 Encounter

　　…

　　"What a loss!"

　　On another street, Shen Ye looked back in the direction of the station, a trace of helplessness flashing through his heart.

　　Not only did he fail to complete the business, but he also lost a basket of flowers, and he might also attract the attention of Shinra Company.

　　"If I had known it was Scarlet, I wouldn't have saved her. She's a villain anyway, so if she dies, she dies." Shen Ye muttered to himself as he spread out his palms. In his hand, there was a small flower, which he picked up from the ground before he left.

　　"But why would Scarlet appear here?" Shen Ye thought to himself while holding the flowers.

　　But just as he was thinking, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.

　　Shen Ye was startled and turned around quickly, assuming a fighting stance.

　　But when he saw who was in front of him, Shen Ye froze in place.

　　"Ms. Tifa, why are you here?" Shen Ye put away his fighting stance and asked.

　　The person who came was one of the heroines who I met during the day, Tifa.

　　"Of course we're here to go shopping!" Tifa said with a faint smile on her face, her eyes like water, and her hands behind her back.

　　However, while speaking, Tifa turned her head slightly and glanced at the huge Mako reactor in the distance.

　　Shen Ye noticed this tiny movement, and then he realized that it seemed that he came here to scout the area in order to blow up the Mako Reactor.

　　"What about you?" Tifa looked at Shen Ye, especially seeing the flowers in Shen Ye's hand, she asked, "Are you here to go shopping too?"

　　"Uh... that's not the case." Shen Ye raised the flowers in his hand: "I came here to sell flowers with my friends."

　　"Selling flowers?" Tifa widened her eyes. She found it hard to believe that a man would choose this industry. She then looked at Shen Ye with a strange look.

　　"It's strange, right? But there's nothing I can do. After all, I have to make a living." Shen Ye felt a little uncomfortable with Tifa's eyes and hurriedly explained.

　　"Although I can understand that, I still find it hard to accept because Marlene said you are very skilled." Tifa nodded and continued, "It seems that your business is pretty good. There is only one flower left."

　　"It's okay, hahaha." Shen Ye said with a laugh.

　　"Since you are selling flowers, then... I will take care of your business. I'll buy the flower in your hand." Tifa looked at the flower in Shen Ye's hand and took money out of her pocket while speaking.

　　"If you want it, take it. It's free." Looking at the money Tifa handed over, Shen Ye shook his head, then handed the flower to Tifa.

　　"Just consider it as payment for the drinks we had during the day." Shen Ye added.

　　"Thank you." Tifa was not a pretentious woman. She took the flowers naturally and sniffed them gently.

　　"What a nice smell!" Tifa said in surprise: "I haven't smelled the fragrance of flowers for a long time."

　　Then she asked Shen Ye: "Where did you get the flowers?"

　　"Aerith planted it." Shen Ye said.

　　"She's amazing." Tifa praised sincerely.

　　This is not a lie, because Midgar is no longer suitable for the growth of plants. Being able to grow flowers is more than just amazing.

　　"Of course." Shen Ye nodded.

　　"By the way, Shen, do you want to go shopping together?" Tifa suddenly asked while holding flowers.

　　"Hmm!" Shen Ye did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the wall clock in the roadside shop and found that it was already past nine o'clock, so he shook his head and refused.

　　"Sorry, Tifa, it's already past nine o'clock. I made an appointment with Aerith to meet up at ten o'clock and go home together."

　　Tifa was a little disappointed when she heard that, but she still nodded: "In that case, let's say goodbye here."

　　Then she cheered up again, waved to Shen Ye and said, "Remember to come to Seventh Heaven when you have time."

　　"Well! Don't worry! I will go when I have time." Shen Ye nodded and waved at her.

　　After watching Tifa leave, Shen Ye prepared to go to the place where he had agreed to meet Aerith.

　　But as soon as he turned around, he saw Aerith looking at him on the opposite street with a basket of flowers.

　　…

　　"Can I say that meeting Tifa was just an accident?"

　　On the way home, Shen Ye said to Aerith.

　　"Yes, life is full of surprises. I can certainly understand that." Aerith glanced at him: "But is giving her flowers also a surprise?"

　　"Uh...that's not the case. I'm just paying for the drinks." Shen Ye thought for a moment and said.

　　"I never thought my flowers would be so valuable." Aerith said in surprise, and made an exaggerated expression.

　　"Because you grew it with care, so of course it's valuable." Shen Ye said quickly.

　　Hearing this, Aerith was stunned for a moment, then snorted and said, "Of course."

　　"But you only gave Tifa one flower, so the rest were sold out?" Alice asked again.

　　"Yes, they are all sold out." When Shen Ye heard Alice mention this, he immediately took out a stack of money from the system space and shook it in front of Aerith.

　　"So much?" Looking at the thick stack of money, Aerithstared at Shen Ye with suspicion.

　　Shen Ye then noticed that he had taken too much at once, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, I was lucky today. I met a super rich man. In order to make his female companion happy, he just threw a wad of money at me and bought all the flower baskets."

　　"You're so lucky." Aerith said enviously, "I've been selling flowers for so many years, and I've never met such a generous customer. It's good enough to sell a few flowers in one night."

　　"You will encounter this in the future." Shen Ye said, handing the stack of money to Aerith.

　　"I don't want it. This is what you earned from selling flowers." Aerithshook her head.

　　"But the flowers were given to me by you." Shen Ye grabbed Aerith's hand and put the money in her palm.

　　"And I'm going to stay at your house for a long time," he added.

　　"Well... okay." Aerith then accepted the money.

　　…

　　Before going home, Aerith took Shen Ye to a nearby store.

　　After all, I made so much money tonight, I have to spend it well.

　　Of course, you can't buy anything good in the slums, so the two of them just bought some more expensive meat and daily necessities.

　　Afterwards, they returned home.

　　Ms. Elmyra did not go out tonight and had been waiting for them at home. When she opened the door and saw the two people coming back carrying large bags, she was a little surprised.

　　But she didn't ask anything, just asked if Shen Ye was hungry.

　　This made Aerith very unhappy because her mother would usually ask her first.

　　"He's a guest." Elmyra said to Aerith with her hands on her hips.

　　"Hmph!" Aerith curled her lips, then sat on the sofa angrily and turned on the TV.
