Chapter 198 Desperate Love

　　…

　　Although her fantasy was interrupted, Jessie's mother still walked into the hall with a smile on her face.

　　"Don't worry, Jessie, it will be fine soon," said Jessie's mother.

　　The kitchen is right next to the hall and is an open kitchen. While baking and making food, she looked at Shen Ye and asked some questions, such as how many people are there in the family and what her parents are doing.

　　Shen Ye felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly felt a sense of incongruity. Moreover, since they were not from the same world, he really didn't know how to answer. However, looking at Jessie's equally curious eyes, he could only answer one by one... Of course, most of them were half true and half false.

　　However, while answering some questions from Jessie's mother, Shen Ye was also looking at the layout of the house.

　　It has to be said that Jessie's family's living environment is much better than 99.9 percent of the people in the slums. And it's not just much better, it's almost a leap forward, and it's completely on a different level, even though Jessie's parents are just the lowest-level employees of Shinra.

　　Of course, for some reason, Jessie became a member of the resistance organization Avalanche, otherwise, as a vested interest, even if she was just a bottom-level one, she wouldn't have to do so.

　　"It seems that you are very curious about the living environment of my family." Older people are particularly sensitive, and Jessie's mother is no exception. Seeing Shen Ye answering while looking around, she guessed what he was thinking.

　　"Well, I usually live in the slums and rarely see houses with such good conditions." Shen Ye nodded. His movements just now were very large, so it was not surprising that he was discovered.

　　"Do you live in the slums? I thought you were an actor like Jesse." Jessie's mother put the baked pizza on a plate and brought it to Shen Ye, and continued: "I forgot to ask you what you do just now. Can you tell me? By the way, also tell me how you met Jessie."

　　Shen Ye smiled bitterly. This scene looked familiar. It seemed like he had encountered this before when he was dating. After thinking for a while, he said, "I am currently a mercenary, the kind that gets paid to do things. As for how I met Jessie, I think I helped her during a mission."

　　What Shen Ye said was partly true and partly false, but it did happen, so Jessie secretly gave him a thumbs up.

　　"Help? You mean protection, right?" Jessie's mother said assumingly, and then nodded: "You are a mercenary, that's good, at least you can protect Jessie. Midgar has not been very peaceful recently, and accidents happen frequently. There is also a terrorist organization called Avalanche that sent people to assassinate the president and collapsed the Mako reactor. Oh, really, can't you just live a good life?"

　　Jessie's mother's words made both of them feel a little embarrassed. After all, it was they who collapsed the Mako Reactor. They were the "terrorists" that Jesse's mother mentioned.

　　In order to hide their embarrassment, Shen Ye and Jessie simultaneously picked up a piece of pizza and put it in their mouths.

　　Jessie was fine, after all, she grew up eating her mother's cooking. It was Shen Ye's first time trying it. At first, he thought it tasted similar to a common home-style dish, so he ate more out of politeness. But unexpectedly, he showed a surprised expression after just one bite.

　　"It tastes good, right?" Looking at Shen Ye's surprised expression, Jessie asked with a smile.

　　"Hmm!" Shen Ye didn't say anything because his mouth was already occupied by food.

　　"Eat up all the delicious food. If it's not enough, I can keep making it." Jessie's mother was very satisfied with Shen Ye's performance. When she saw Jessie affectionately wiping the food residue from the corner of Shen Ye's mouth with his hand, the smile on her face became as bright as a flower.

　　This scene is what she wants to see most.

　　Shen Ye almost ate a whole pizza, while Jessie only ate a small piece. Seeing Shen Ye stuffing the last piece of pizza into his mouth, Jessie's mother brought a cup of black tea.

　　"Thank you." Shen Ye stood up politely.

　　"You're welcome." Jessie's mother said with a smile, and looked at Shen Ye with more satisfaction.

　　Then she looked at Jessie and said to her, "Jessie, don't leave tonight. You and Shen should stay and rest at home."

　　"But..." Jessie hesitated: "It seems that there are no extra beds at home!"

　　"It's not a bad thing for couples to sleep in the same bed, right?" Jessie's mother said very open-mindedly.

　　"Just ordinary friends, Mom." Although she said that, Jessie still nodded.

　　Seeing this, Jessie's mother asked Shen Ye again: "Do you mind squeezing in with Jessie?"

　　Shen Ye was much more relaxed and nodded directly: "Of course I don't mind."

　　"Okay, I'll make the bed for you." Jessie's mother narrowed her eyes and smiled.

　　…

　　When the moon was at its brightest, in Jessie's room.

　　Jessie lay on Shen Ye's body, pinching the ends of his hair and gently brushing Shen Ye's face.

　　Of course, this is not after the fact, after all, Jessie's parents live next door to them.

　　Perhaps feeling a little itchy, Shen Ye grabbed Jessie's arm, trying to make her behave, but Jessie immediately changed to the other hand.

　　"Can't sleep?" Shen Ye gave up trying to stop Jessie and asked, hugging her waist.

　　Jessie nodded but didn't say anything because she didn't know how to say it and her heart was too complicated.

　　Looking at the silent Jessie, Shen Ye smiled and said, "I think you came back today not just to take me to meet your mother, right?"

　　Shen Ye certainly understood why Jessie wanted to go home this time. Although she did want to see her parents, it was mainly for the ID card on her bedridden father...

　　Because in a few days, the Avalanche Team will take the next step and prepare to blow up the fifth Mako Reactor, and her father's ID card can do a lot of things.

　　But what surprised Shen Ye was that Jessie had not taken any action until now. Instead, he just lay obediently beside him and even teased him.

　　"Why do you ask?" Jessie was a little curious, curious that Shen Ye actually knew what she was thinking.

　　Of course Shen Ye would not say that he knew the plot, but he did not know how to answer, so he just remained silent.

　　Seeing that Shen Ye had also fallen silent, Jessie sighed and said slowly, "Indeed, my motive for coming back tonight is not pure, but after listening to what my mother said just now, I feel a little conflicted. I shouldn't involve them in this matter."

　　Jessie knew very well that if she took her father's ID card and used it, it would definitely attract the attention of Shinra. Thinking of her mother who loved her deeply, she thought for a long time and finally chose to give up.

　　For her now, there are too many things she has to take into consideration, not only family affection, but also - love that makes her want to do anything for it.

　　Of course, the so-called giving up does not mean giving up targeting Shinra, but giving up using her father's ID card to involve them. The action against Shinra must continue.

　　After sighing again, Jessie finally calmed down. He leaned his head against Shen Ye's chest and listened quietly to his heartbeat.

　　"Go to sleep." Shen Ye lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

　　"Hmm!" Jessie hummed in satisfaction.

　　…

　　At dawn the next day, Shen Ye and Jessie said goodbye to Jessie's mother and rode their motorcycles back to Block 7.

　　The return journey during the day was relatively smooth, and I did not encounter any Shinra patrol soldiers. However, this is normal. It is now working hours and there is a lot of traffic on the road. It is impossible for Shinra soldiers to check one by one. They neither have the time nor the energy.

　　The two returned to the seventh block at a slightly slower pace than last night.

　　Since Jessie's purpose of this trip was not accomplished, she had to go to the Vigilante Team to discuss the next steps with Barret, so the two separated near the Vigilante Team.

　　After bidding farewell to Jessie who was reluctant to leave, Shen Ye drove back to Seventh Heaven, but then he realized that he had come at the wrong time as the bar was not open yet, so he could only continue driving to Stargazer Heights.

　　On the open space on the first floor of Stargazer Heights, the landlord, Grandma Marle, was making breakfast. After greeting her, Shen Ye went straight up to the second floor.

　　However, just as he went up, he saw Cloud coming out of 203. He was still carrying the huge Buster Sword on his back and biting a piece of bread in his mouth, which should be breakfast.

　　"Good morning, Cloud." Shen Ye waved to him.

　　But Cloud did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at him coldly. After a while, he nodded and walked past him.

　　Shen Ye didn't care about Cloud's attitude. No matter who it was, it would be impossible for him to accept that his childhood sweetheart fell in love with another man. The other party was very generous by not drawing his sword to attack him on the spot.

　　Shrugging helplessly, Shen Ye walked to the middle of 201 and 202. Now he was a little confused about whose room to go to first.

　　After pondering for a while, Shen Ye decided to knock on the door of room 202 first. He had spent the whole afternoon with Aerith and Tifa yesterday, and he knew that Aerith lived in room 202.

　　I knocked on the door for a while, but there was no movement from inside. No one opened the door, and no one responded.

　　"Go home?" After knocking for a while, there was still no response. Shen Ye felt that this was the only possibility.

　　However, he did not feel disappointed. Instead, he felt a little impulsive inside. Now he finally had time to be alone with Tifa, and he didn't mind exercising early in the morning. After all, he had been holding it in for several days.

　　So he walked to the door of 201 and took out the key excitedly. This key was specially made for him by Tifa so that he could go "home" at any time.

　　Shen Ye opened the door carefully and walked into the bedroom quietly. He was going to give Tifa an unexpected surprise.

　　Inside the bedroom, the person on the bed was still sleeping, which gave Shen Ye a good opportunity. He took off his clothes as he walked. When he reached the bed, he was left with only a pair of shorts on his body. He lifted a corner of the quilt and crawled in.

　　Then he hugged the woman in the quilt in his arms and started to touch her all over.

　　However, as he touched her, Shen Ye felt that something was wrong. The woman in his arms seemed to be smaller than Tifa, and her breasts were much smaller.

　　Shen Ye's movements suddenly froze, and a terrible thought appeared in his mind: this woman is not Tifa.

　　Just when he was distracted, the woman in his arms opened her eyes, and after mumbling something unconsciously, she suddenly found herself in the arms of a man, with the man's hand on her chest.

　　Suddenly, the woman screamed, hugged her chest and jumped out of Shen Ye's arms, then stepped on him without any hesitation.

　　However, she did not step forward in the end because she recognized Shen Ye, and Shen Ye only then saw the woman's appearance clearly.

　　"Yuffie? Why are you here?" Shen Ye called out the woman's name in surprise.

　　Yes, the woman in front of me was actually Yuffie Kisarag.

　　"I..." The girl didn't know how to answer. Her hangover made her unable to remember what happened last night. She only knew that she went to the Seventh Heaven Bar, which the Avalanche HQ Member had told her not to go to, and drank some wine. After that, she didn't remember anything.

　　Looking at Yuffie with a confused face, Shen Ye sighed helplessly. When he was about to get up and put on his clothes, the door of room 201 was opened again, and then Aerith and Tifa rushed in with breakfast.

　　"Yuffie, what happened?" Tifa put the breakfast in her hand on the coffee table, put on a pair of gloves, and rushed into the bedroom. When she entered the bedroom and saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned.

　　She was not the only one who was stunned. There was also Shen Ye and Aerith who came in after Tifa.

　　The four of them just stood there staring at each other. After an unknown amount of time, Aerith was the first to react. She said faintly, "Did we come at the wrong time?"

　　"No, no, no, listen to my explanation. It's just a misunderstanding. I thought it was Tifa." Shen Ye hurriedly explained.

　　Aerith's eyes were on Tifa again, and her tone became more resentful: "Oh, I thought it was Tifa. So, when you are together, you also take off your clothes and sleep together?"

　　Tifa felt a little numb under Aerith's resentful gaze. She wanted to explain, but when she found that Aerith was right, she could only smile awkwardly and said, "Aerith, let's put this aside for now. I think we should let them put on their clothes first."

　　Tifa pointed at Yuffie and continued, "Especially her. She's still a little girl."

　　Only then did Yuffie notice that she was only wearing a bra and a pair of panties with Moogle printed on them. When she found that Shen Ye's eyes were still glancing at her from time to time, she screamed again.

　　"Close your eyes."
