…
This hot pot restaurant does not have private rooms, but only has a dozen round tables in the small hall. It was noon and the restaurant was already full of people, but Shenhua had reserved a seat in advance, and with the triad behind her, the hot pot restaurant owner reserved the best seat for her.
Everyone took their seats one by one. Shenhua waved his hand to ask the shop owner who received them to serve the dishes. Not long after, the ingredients were served.
Shen Ye had been hungry for a long time, so he didn't hesitate and poured several piles of ingredients into the pot in one breath. The shop owner next to him enthusiastically reminded him that putting too much at once would affect the taste, but he didn't listen and just scooped it out and ate it when he thought it was almost done.
Compared to the texture of the ingredients, he cared more about the taste, but compared to filling his stomach, the taste became unimportant. After all, when he was hungry, he could even finish the dishes made by Robert.
"It's spicy, but delicious." Choi Ji Yoon, being from South Korea, would say it was delicious after every bite. In the end, she simply switched to her native language, happily repeating, "Mashida."
However, she herself has a half Chinese stomach. Compared with her, Jill and others can hardly accept the food. It's not that they think it's bad, but the taste is too stimulating. In the end, Jill even asked the store owner to serve a sweet dish to change her taste.
If it were someone else, Shen Ye might have made a sarcastic remark, but when it came to Jill, he could only shake his head and sigh, thinking that she really had a sweet tooth.
Because they had something to do in the afternoon, everyone tacitly agreed not to order any wine, for fear that drinking would interfere with their work. However, how could they eat hot pot without ordering any wine? So Shenhua still ordered some beer, and no one refused. After all, except for Shen Ye and Choi Ji Yoon, most people couldn't stand spicy food.
Especially Ritsuka. Although she was born in cold Russia, her stomach that could adapt to strong liquor could not stand spicy food at all. She held the chopsticks awkwardly and stared at the red soup in the pot in a daze.
Choi Ji Yoon picked up a piece of spicy beef slices and put it into the pot to rinse it. Seeing Ritsuka's hesitation, she smiled slyly: "If you are really not used to it, just order some other dishes. No one will say you are a coward."
As she said this, her beef was ready. She picked it up and dipped it in chili powder from a dry dish, shook it in front of Ritsuka, and then put it into her mouth with a whoosh.
Seeing that the other party was clearly provoking her, Ritsuka got angry and put a piece of spicy beef slices into the pot. However, after it was cooked, she stared at the dry dish for a while, and finally couldn't overcome the fear in her stomach and ate it directly.
Even without chili powder, the hot pot base was spicy enough. As expected, Ritsuka's face turned red all of a sudden, and then her eyes were filled with mist.
"She is from South Korea and is used to eating spicy food. Why are you arguing with her?" Shen Ye handed her his glass of beer and said to Shenhua, "Ask the boss to serve some lighter dishes."
"Okay." Shenhua nodded and waved to call the boss.
After Ritsuka drank the beer, she felt a little better. Then she heard Choi Ji Yoon muttering, "It's over. I ended up rewarding her instead of gaining the reward."
Shen Ye glanced at her, then filled his glass with beer, held it in front of her and said, "Do you want me to reward you once?"
Choi Ji Yoon licked her lips and laughed, "Not just once, I won't be satisfied."
Then with a snap, Jill hit her on the head with a chopstick and said coldly, "You are so hungry, why don't you go directly to his room after taking a shower at night?"
"I have no objection if you don't object." Choi Ji Yoon touched her head with an aggrieved expression, but her tone was extremely excited.
Jill: "…"
Shen Ye: "…"
Others: "…"
…
After lunch, everyone rested for a while before setting off for their final destination - a residential area next to a biological research institute.
At the gate of the community, several members of the triad were squatting there eating boxed lunches. When they saw Shen Ye and others coming, they immediately put down their boxed lunches and went to greet them.
"Big sister." One of the triad members bowed slightly to Shen Hua.
"Is there anyone suspicious going in?" Shenhua asked.
The member shook his head: "No."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work." Shenhua nodded, and then said to Shen Ye and the others, "Let's go in."
Because Soi only said which community the person she was looking for lived in, but did not say where exactly she lived, after entering the community, she took over leading the way.
Everyone followed her around the community for a while, entered an apartment building, and took the elevator with her to the top floor.
There was only one room on the top floor, which made everyone feel a little strange, but no one asked. They just watched her knock on the door.
Soon after, the door opened and a young girl poked her head out. Looking at the people in front of her, her eyes fell on Soi first: "Soi? I saw the news, I thought you wouldn't come!"
Soi patted her head and chuckled, "My Ha Ly, not everything in the news is true."
Ha Ly...
Hearing the girl's name, Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent. This plot could be described as bizarre.
Soi didn't talk to the girl Ha Ly for too long. She just handed the box she was carrying to Ha Ly and left.
No one understood what she did. After all, after going through so much hardship, in the end she just gave the other party a box. It seemed unnecessary.
However, Soi was unwilling to explain, and no one asked about it after everyone left, so the matter ended there.
After leaving the community, Soi said that she wanted to meet Koko who sent people to rescue her, but Choi Ji Yoon wanted to take her to the United Nations Institute of Biological and Virological Research. After thinking for a while, she finally agreed to Choi Ji Yoon's invitation. After all, Soi was a decent person, and official organizations were more attractive than private organizations.
Choi Ji Yoon quickly contacted his superiors in the organization and bought a plane ticket, and then it was time to say goodbye.
Three days later, in the terminal hall of Bangkok Airport, Choi Ji Yoon was followed by four or five agents from the United Nations Anti-Terrorism Department who arrived on a special plane. They surrounded Soi and forced back anyone who approached them with their eyes.
"Will you return to your country?"
Outside the waiting hall, Choi Ji Yoon said to Shen Ye.
Only Shen Ye came to see them off on the plane; no one else came.
"Not yet. I haven't had enough fun outside yet!" Shen Ye answered honestly. He had no home in this world, so he naturally would not return to live in "China".
"Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?" Choi Ji Yoon continued to ask.
Shen Ye did not answer, but just glanced at Jill and said, "I think so."
"What do you mean by 'should be able to'?" Choi Ji Yoon also glanced at Jill, then gently hugged Shen Ye.
"Don't refuse, let me hug you." Choi Ji Yoon said.
"Jill is watching!" Shen Ye pushed her, but did not push her away and let her go.
Choi Ji Yoon raised his head and smiled slightly: "She is used to it, and I will explain it to her later."
Choi Ji Yoon is going to take Soi to US this time, and Jill's vacation is almost over, so the two of them will go back together this time.
"Can you explain your technique to seduce my man?" Jill was standing nearby and heard her words, and said indignantly.
"Of course not, I'll just tell you..." Choi Ji Yoon turned to face Jill and whispered in her ear: "Your man is awesome..."
Hearing this, Jill was stunned at first, then looked at Shen Ye with cold eyes.
Shen Ye looked helpless: "I didn't do anything with her."
To be honest, Jill believed in Shen Ye. It was Choi Ji Yoon who teased her from beginning to end. Then she pushed Choi Ji Yoon away and hugged Shen Ye.
"You must come to see me!" she said reluctantly.
Shen Ye recalled every detail of his time in Raccoon City, especially the time when he was hospitalized in Raccoon City, and then nodded: "Jill, I like you."
To be honest, this was the first time Shen Ye said these words to a woman, although he now felt that he was somewhat unworthy.
When Jill heard these words, she was visibly stunned, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"You should have told me that a long time ago." Jill held back her tears. Although she was a strong woman, she was just a woman after all.
"It's not too late now, right?" Shen Ye felt a little guilty. If he really counted it, he should have said this when they parted in Raccoon City.
Jill didn't think so much. She hugged Shen Ye tightly, nodded in his arms, and then whispered a string of numbers in his ear. That was her private cell phone number, which she had never told anyone else.
"Remember my phone number. I only told you." Jill said.
Shen Ye nodded vigorously and hugged Jill tightly.
Choi Ji Yoon said unhappily, "Pay attention to your image. I'm watching you."
But Jill ignored her, stood on tiptoe and kissed Shen Ye, and the two of them kissed passionately as if no one was around.
After a long time, she andChoi Ji Yoon boarded the plane back to the US.
Looking at the passenger plane slowly taking off, Shen Ye touched the corner of his mouth, sighed deeply, then turned and left the airport.
It was already evening when we returned to the accommodation arranged by Shenhua.
Seeing Shen Ye coming back, Roberta put the prepared food on the table, while Fabiola and Ritsuka prepared the tableware.
"Ritsuka, there's no need to do this anymore. Choi Ji Yoon is gone, and you're free."
Although Jill and Choi Ji Yoon had left, Irina stayed with him and worked as a maid.
Hearing his words, Ritsuka remained unmoved. After she had set the tableware, she said, "Are you chasing me away?"
Hearing Ritsuka's tone of reluctance, Shen Ye asked with a slight smile: "So you want to stay?"
Ritsuka looked at him but said nothing for a long moment.
Shen Ye was stunned, and pretended to be surprised as if jokingly: "You don't really want to stay, do you?"
Ritsuka still didn't say anything, she just sat at the dining table and ate dinner in silence.
Looking at Ritsuka who had fallen silent, Shen Ye opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
To say that what he just said was indeed a joke, but to say that he didn't have any thoughts in his mind was basically impossible. He could still see clearly into his own heart.
Ritsuka is beautiful, has a good figure, and has white hair. She perfectly suits his aesthetic taste.
But then again, it seems like all beautiful women fit his aesthetic standards...
"Men, men!" Shen Ye sighed in his heart. It seemed that his immunity to women was getting lower and lower, or his desire was getting stronger and stronger. He wanted everything and didn't want to let it go.
However, Ritsuka is free. She stayed here during this period because of Choi Ji Yoon's threat. If she really wanted to leave, Shen Ye would not try to keep her.
So the next day, Shen Ye sent Ritsuka to the airport, but she still didn't say a word until she boarded the plane. However, Shen Ye had another number in his hand...
On the third day after seeing Ritsuka off, Dutch and Revy also boarded the return train.
Originally, Revy wanted to stay in Bangkok with Shen Ye for a few days, but Benny in Roanapur received a new job and urged them to go back quickly.
Although Revy was reluctant and even considered quitting her job, she had a strange idea, perhaps because she had watched too many Chinese TV dramas in Bangkok in the past few days. She planned to work for a while longer, save some money, and then buy a house to use as her future wedding house. She heard that this was popular in China now.
She didn't tell anyone about this thought, but kept it hidden in her heart. Although she was a woman with a big heart, she felt a little shy after having this thought, for fear that others would find out and laugh at her.
Of course, even if Shen Ye knew about this idea, he would not make fun of her, but would only be touched.
Anyway, they all left.
…
With Jill and the others leaving, Shen Ye's situation returned to the same state as on his first day back in Roanapur. Only the maids and Shenhua were around him again.
In fact, with fewer women around him, Shen Ye's life has become easier. He is really not good at dealing with every woman around him, because he always wants to treat them equally, but that is too tiring.
But to be honest, although such days were tiring, they were fulfilling enough, and sometimes he enjoyed it. After all, not every man can enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by beautiful women.
Next, Shen Ye and the two maids, led by Shenhua, traveled in Bangkok for a few days. After all, in addition to having an extremely prosperous pornography industry, Bangkok also has beautiful scenery. They just regarded it as a trip to travel and relax.
After playing for almost a week, when Shen Ye was about to take Roberta and Fabiola back to the real world, an unexpected person found him.
