…
Late at night, room 201 of Stargazer Heights.
Marlene had fallen into a deep sleep. The fear she had endured for most of the night had exhausted her to the extreme. Now that she was surrounded by her closest relatives and knowing that her father was safe, she relaxed and fell asleep in Aerith's arms soon after entering the room.
Tifa carefully placed Marlene on the bed, covered her with the quilt, touched her forehead, then turned and left, sitting back next to Shen Ye.
At this time, Shen Ye was resting with his eyes closed. Although Aerith and Tifa were sitting on his left and right and Jessie was sitting in front of him, he had no bad thoughts at all... Of course, it cannot be said that he had no bad thoughts at all. The main thing was that there were three women together, and even if he had any thoughts, he had to treat them all equally.
And one more thing, the most important one... Marlene is still in the room.
Suddenly, Shen Ye opened his eyes and had the idea of taking the three girls to the next room. But then he thought of leaving the little girl alone in Tifa's room, and he felt it was not appropriate. If the little girl suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't see anyone, she would definitely be scared.
With a helpless sigh, Shen Ye slowly closed his eyes and continued to rest.
However, Aerith and the others were not sleepy at this time, and they were in high spirits. Aerith was so excited that she couldn't sleep because her fate had changed, but Whispers didn't come out to correct it. Tifa and Jessie hugged the pillar of the seventh district, and they were also so excited that they couldn't sleep.
The three sleepless women soon began talking in low voices out of boredom.
As if they were afraid of waking up Marlene and Shen Ye, the three girls simply huddled together, whispering to each other. From time to time, they would suddenly stop to look at Shen Ye, and when they found that Shen Ye seemed to be really asleep, they would continue chatting without worry.
But Shen Ye was just resting his eyes and was not really asleep. He heard their conversation clearly and found that the topics they talked about were becoming more and more outrageous.
At first, they mainly talked about what happened today. Later, their topic shifted to Shen Ye and they started talking about what he liked. Later, they even started talking about some of his unique hobbies.
For example, Aerith said that Shen Ye was not honest when sleeping, and always liked to touch her when he held her to sleep. Another example is that Tifa said with a blushing face that when Shen Ye did that kind of thing with her, he didn't like to take off her clothes... he seemed to do it on purpose.
Sure enough, when they heard this, Aerith and Jessie paused for a moment, as this was an area they had not yet ventured into.
Then, after expressing envy and jealousy, the two girls turned their gazes to Shen Ye. Although Shen Ye had his eyes closed, his scalp was still numbed by the gazes of the two girls.
Just when Shen Ye was thinking about whether to open his eyes and explain, there was a knock on the door, followed by Yuffie's carefree but cute voice: "Shen, open the door, I know you are in there."
Shen Ye finally opened his eyes at this time, but he did not get up to open the door immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Marlene like Aerith and the other two girls. After seeing that the little girl was not woken up, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Ye stood up and walked to the door, opening it while wondering why Yuffie knew he was here.
Outside the door, Yuffie was still wearing the cute Moogle hood, and her junior Sonon was still following behind her - he was not dead, he was still alive.
"How do you know I'm here?" Shen Ye asked the question in his mind immediately after seeing Yuffie
Yuffie patted the Moogle waist bag that was bulging with something and said, "That bad woman Scarlet told me."
"Scarlet?" Shen Ye did not ask Yuffie why she called Scarlet a bad woman, nor did he ask her why she knew Scarlet. Instead, he asked, "Why did she ask you to come to me?"
Yuffie glanced at the three Aerith girls who followed her, curled her lips in confusion and said, "She asked me to inform you that Elmyra was kidnapped by an evil scientist named Hojo."
"What did you say? My mother was kidnapped?"
After hearing that her adoptive mother was captured by Hojo, Aerith's eyes were instantly filled with tears. She was extremely anxious and ran out, but was held back by Shen Ye.
"I'm going to save my mother." Aerith couldn't suppress her inner worry and said in a crying voice.
"I know. I'll go with you, but don't worry." Shen Ye held Aerith in his arms, patted her back soothingly, and said to Jessie, "You stay and take care of Marlene. I'll go to the Shinra Building with Aerith and Tifa."
Jessie was a little reluctant. She also wanted to go, but since Shen Ye had spoken, she couldn't refuse and nodded.
"We'll go with you." Yuffie glanced at Jessie who was left behind and immediately said, "That bad woman gave us a lot of magic crystals, which will definitely help you."
"No, you have to stay too, and you, Sonon." Shen Ye looked at Sonon, the man who was supposed to die in the Shinra Building, but survived because he changed the plot.
But Sonon was fine, but Yuffie was not happy either. She was not like Jessie who listened to Shen Ye like she did. She kept saying that she was a beautiful ninja from Wutai and came here specifically to punish Shinra.
After hearing this, Shen Ye would not let her go. If the fight started, her opponent would laugh to death with such an opening remark.
After some talk, Yuffie still stayed. However, when Shen Ye and his companions were leaving, she stuffed a handful of magic crystals into Shen Ye's hands. But after going downstairs, Shen Ye gave all the magic crystals to Aerith and Tifa, because he had no use for those things at all.
…
Due to the battle tonight, the train in Midgar was suspended early, so Shen Ye could only take Aerith and Tifa to look for a car on the street. They couldn't walk there.
At this time, the poor people in the seventh block had been almost evacuated. Although this place was far less wealthy than the disc, sporadic vehicles could still be seen on the roadside. Soon they drove a small truck towards the disc.
In the car, Aerith had regained her composure, but her eyes were still filled with worry and self-blame.
"Aerith, Ms. Elmyra will be fine." Although Whispers did not come out to stop Shen Ye from changing the plot tonight, Shen Ye still said it with certainty. After all, for Hojo, Elmyra had almost no other use except to threaten Aerith.
