Chapter 151 Confused

  …

  Then, Barret called his teammates to go to the bar, leaving only Shen Ye, Aerith and Tifa.

  Oh, and there was Marlene who was being held by Aerith. No one knew what the two of them were talking about, and they didn't even look at Shen Ye.

  Shen Ye finished the wine in the glass and then fell into deep thought.

  In fact, he personally prefers to be neutral.

  For him, he didn't want to join either Shinra or Avalanche.

  However, if he had to choose one, he would still choose to help Avalanche, because no matter how extreme they are, compared to Shinra, they still have some conscience.

  Of course, he had thought about ways to resolve the conflict during these few days, but if he only relied on his own strength, all his ideas and methods would ultimately be just assumptions.

  Seeing Shen Ye supporting his chin with one hand and holding a wine glass with the other, frowning and thinking, Tifa walked behind Shen Ye, put her hands on his shoulders, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Shen, don't force yourself. We will never force others to join us. Just follow your own ideas."

  "Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded, turned around and was about to ask Tifa for another glass of Cosmo Canyon, but he happened to be face to face with Tifa who was still whispering in his ear.

  The distance between the two sides was very close, their noses were touching each other and their lips were touching each other.

  Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and both of them could clearly see the various emotions in each other's eyes.

  Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but Shen Ye's upper body leaned forward for some reason, and then their lips kissed.

  "Ah!" Tifa's heart was disturbed by the sudden kiss, and she did something that made her regret a little... She took a step back and let out a low cry, then she covered her mouth and secretly glanced at Aerith.

  Fortunately, Aerith was whispering to Marlene with her head down, and did not hear her exclamation, nor did she notice their actions, which made Tifa feel a little relieved.

  "Ahem... please give me another glass." Shen Ye coughed lightly, unable to tell whether he felt regret or remorse in his heart, but in order to hide his embarrassment, he handed the empty glass to Tifa.

  "You... wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away." Tifa's heart was pounding and she fled away from the spot.

  Coming to the bar, Tifa started to make a cocktail for Shen Ye, but because her mind was in a mess, she didn't know what she added. She shook the shaker with a confused look in her eyes, her mind flying.

  She thought for an unknown amount of time until a hand patted her shoulder and she came back to her senses.

  "Tifa, what's wrong with you?" Jessie asked curiously, "You've been shaking that shaker for a long time, twice as long as usual."

  "Nothing, Jessie." Tifa quickly shook her head, then poured the wine in the shaker into the wine glass, put it on a tray, and walked towards Shen Ye.

  Jessie looked at Tifa's back and scratched his head in confusion.

  "Shen, the wine is here." Tifa walked to Shen Ye and placed the wine in front of Shen Ye.

  Shen Ye picked it up and took a sip, then looked at Tifa in confusion.

  "The taste... seems a little wrong." Shen Ye smacked his lips and said.

  Tifa blushed slightly. She was so upset just now that even the taste of the wine was disturbed...

  …

  As the most popular bar for the poor in the Seventh Block, Seventh Heaven is often open until late at night. However, usually, it is run by Tifa alone, so it can be a bit busy. But tonight, with the help of Jessie and the others, Tifa also had a rare moment of free time. She took a glass of light wine and sat opposite Shen Ye to drink with him.

  I don't know how much time passed, but there were fewer and fewer people in the bar, and even Marlene and Jessie followed Barret and left.

  Now there were only three of them left in the bar.

  After a while, Aerith looked at the two people clinking glasses non-stop and asked for a glass of wine as well. However, after her last experience, she didn't dare to drink strong liquor. Like Tifa, she also drank low-alcohol fruit wine.

  Maybe she really liked the taste of fruit wine and accidentally drank too much. Now she started to feel drowsy again. She said that she envied Tifa so much, then tilted her head to look at Shen Ye, muttering something that was hard to hear.

  Looking at Aerith talking to herself, Shen Ye and Tifa felt helpless. They tried to persuade Aerith, but it was obviously of no use.

  Finally, Aerith couldn't resist the aftereffects of the wine and fell asleep on the table.

  "Okay, it's time for us to go." Looking at Aerith who was sleeping soundly, Shen Ye knew that the activity was about to end. He clapped his hands, stood up and said.

  "Now? Isn't it too late?" Tifa pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.

  "It's already past twelve o'clock, I think..." Tifa hesitated.

  "What do you think?" Shen Ye helped Aerith up and looked at Tifa.

  "You can come to my place to rest. It's so late now and it would be troublesome for you to go back, right?" Tifa said this with some anticipation in her eyes.

  "That's not a good idea. You don't have any extra rooms there, right?" Shen Ye asked.

  "Of course." Tifa said quickly, "There is an empty apartment nearby. The landlord also supports our Avalanche activities and does not charge us rent, so you can live there."

   Stargazer Heights!

  Shen Ye knew which apartment Tifa was talking about. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay then."

  "Let's go then... Oh, I almost forgot, I still have to clean up the bar. Shen, wait for me." Tifa was a little excited and quickly cleaned up the bar.

  Soon, Tifa simply cleaned up the bar, and then took Shen Ye and Aerith to Stargazer Heights.

  ...…

  The so-called Stargazer Heights sounds very high-end, but it is actually just an ordinary old apartment. The environment is pretty good, at least it looks very clean.

  "Here, these are the keys to 202 and 203. The environment in 203 is a little better than 202. You can let Aerith sleep in 203."

  On the second floor of Stargazer Heights, Tifa handed two keys to Shen Ye.

  Shen Ye nodded, and just as he was about to carry Aerith to 203, he suddenly heard Tifa whisper behind him: "I live in 201. If you want to drink more, you can come to me directly. I didn't lock the door."

  Hearing this, Shen Ye paused, then nodded and continued walking towards 203.

  Arriving at the door of Room 203, Shen Ye took out the key and opened the door. He carried Aerith to the bed and carefully placed her on the bed. Then he poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table. Then he sat on the bed and looked at Aerith's face helplessly.

  After watching for a while, Shen Ye sighed, then covered Aerith with the quilt, turned off the lights and left 203.
