Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Page 412

Shen Ye and Helena, who insisted on going to the bar with him, walked several blocks but still hadn't arrived.

"Shen, how far is that bar you mentioned?"

Helena complained that wearing high heels made it inconvenient to walk long distances, and even with her fighter's physique, she still vaguely felt that her soles were being rubbed and uncomfortable.

"We still have to walk three more blocks," Shen Ye said, glancing at the route map.

“Then why don’t we drive?” Helena, carrying a small dog named Amy, followed closely beside him. She walked a little fast, afraid of being left behind. Then she suddenly realized, “Oh, I forgot you just arrived in Paris. But I have a car. I’ll call the driver over right now.”

"No need, my people have already prepared a car for me, but I might be drinking at the bar, so I didn't drive," Shen Ye said casually.

"Then why didn't you take a taxi?" Helena asked curiously.

"I want to see the scenery of this romantic city."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, there are thieves and robbers everywhere here." Helena lowered her eyes, hiding the embarrassment in them.

"That's not entirely true," Shen Ye glanced at her sideways. "There are also beautiful ladies here."

Hearing this, Helena looked up, blinked, and smiled.

“Shen, you are completely different from the people from China I know. My teacher is a reserved middle-aged man.”

"So you think I should be more reserved?" Shen Ye glanced at her again.

“No, I think you’re fine the way you are,” Helena said with a smile, and this was her honest opinion.

As they spoke, the two crossed another block. At that moment, the puppy Helena was holding raised its head and barked twice at Shen Ye.

Helena seemed to understand what the puppy meant, and turned to Shen Ye, saying, "Shen, can you continue to hug Amy? It seems to like you a lot."

Shen Ye immediately shook his head and refused: "I won't hold it, it keeps licking my hand."

"Because Amy likes you, don't you think Amy is cute?"

"If you put it that way, I actually quite like it too."

"Then why don't you want to hold it?" Helena asked like a curious child.

Shen Ye glanced at the puppy that Helena was holding in her arms. Her powerful chest was pressing down on the puppy's head... No wonder it wanted Shen Ye to hold it; it probably couldn't withstand the pressure.

Stopping his wild thoughts, Shen Ye said with a half-smile, "My preferences are different from yours. You like raw food, but I... like cooked food."

"Raw...cooked..."

Suddenly, Helena realized what was happening and quickly took a step to the side, moving away from Shen Ye.

"You're not allowed to make a move on Amy," she said, glaring at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye shook his head with feigned regret: "That's a pity, dog meat is very nutritious."

"Stop talking, you'll scare Amy," Helena said, covering the puppy's ears. She knew Shen Ye was joking.

Speaking of which, Helena looks like a fully mature woman. After all, she is a European and American, and grows faster than Asians. But at this time, she is not very old, only nineteen years old. Her voice is cold and clear, leaning towards a mature woman, but her personality is not very mature.

“It doesn’t understand.” Shen Ye glanced at the puppy and suddenly remembered the female celestial dog, who could understand.

“It understands,” Helena said earnestly.

"..."

Shen Ye had nothing to say. He felt there was no point in arguing with a girl who looked mature but still had a childlike personality. So he lazily waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's just pretend it understands."

But Helena added, "It can understand."

"Ok, I know."

……

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of a bar with a sign that read "King".

"King's Bar... Nice name, but it looks so small." Helena pouted as she looked at the small bar in front of her.

"Because the owner of this bar isn't wealthy." Shen Ye said, while also looking around the bar, but his attention was on a small blackboard hanging at the entrance.

[Our establishment is seeking live music performers; prices are negotiable.]

"It really is a small bar, there isn't even a live singer." Helena also noticed the words on the blackboard.

"Have you been to many bars?" Shen Ye turned his head to look at her.

“No, I only went to see it with a classmate when I graduated from high school, but it was very noisy, I didn’t like it.” Helena shook her head, but she didn’t really need to explain.

"I don't really like it either, but I occasionally go out for a drink to relax... Speaking of which, want to grab a drink? It's on you," Shen Ye asked, pointing to the bar.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to invite her for a drink, since she had helped him before, even though he didn't need her help.

"Okay!"

Surprisingly, Helena readily agreed, "However, my alcohol tolerance is only so-so."

"Anything is fine with me."

As Shen Ye spoke, he stepped into the bar.

The small bar naturally didn't have the extra funds to hire staff, and Qiong's own circumstances didn't allow it either. Even when entering the bar, Shen Ye was still wondering if Qiong was the owner and the waitress all at the same time.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. When he entered the bar, he saw a very feminine bartender standing behind the counter with long brown hair, not the blonde Joan at all.

Besides the bartender, there were only two other waitresses in the bar, both of whom were women. They were busy carrying trays of drinks and moving back and forth between the tables.

In reality, there weren't many customers in the bar, only seven or eight tables scattered around, but there were only two waiters.

"It's a bit different from the bars I'm used to."

Helena, following behind Shen Ye, looked around curiously. This bar was not as noisy and lively as she had imagined. The stylish music made her feel much more relaxed.

Her mother was a great singer, and having inherited her mother's musical talent, she was very satisfied with the bar's taste.

“The environment is also quite nice,” Helena added.

Before Shen Ye could speak, she continued, "Shen, is the person you're looking for here?"

"I haven't seen her yet... Let's go to the bar and have a drink." Shen Ye scanned the bar but still couldn't find Qiong. He wondered if she hadn't started work yet? But the bar was open.

He then walked toward the bar, with Helena close behind him, saying, "Um, Shen, could you get Amy a glass of milk?"

"..."

……

Chapter 644! The Girl's Preferences

……

"What would you two like to drink?"

The bartender behind the bar was a very feminine woman. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she could definitely catch the eye of most men. When she saw Shen Ye and Helena coming over, she habitually smoothed her hair and asked with a professional smile.

But Shen Ye shook his head, then held up three fingers: "Not two, but three."

Amid the bartender's surprised expression, Shen Ye pointed to the puppy Helena was holding: "Could you please give it some milk, in a disposable cup? Hmm, I hope you have a milk station here."

"Uh... of course we have milk. This is a bar, and milk can be used to make drinks..." The female bartender was still in a daze. It was the first time she had ever seen someone bring a dog to a bar and order a drink for the dog in such a formal way... Even though it was milk, it was still quite unexpected.

The female bartender retrieved a paper cup from under the bar, poured some milk into it, and then asked, "And what about you two?"

"Vodka on the rocks, but don't add anything weird." Shen Ye sat on a wooden bar stool and tapped the bar counter with his index finger. He learned the last sentence from Levi; he would say this to the bartender every time he went to a bar.

Okay, he suddenly missed Revy a little.

He then looked at Helena, a mature-looking young woman who was curiously looking at the dazzling array of wines on the wine cabinet. It was clear that she was still a well-behaved girl at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye said to the bartender, "Make her a cocktail, something suitable for a girl."

"How about Alexander?" The bartender thought for a moment and felt that a mature woman like Helena should drink a more stimulating cocktail like the Bloody Mary.

She is from Country F.

"Then let's have Bloody Mary! A Parisian specialty."

"Forget it, I'll go with Alexander."

Shen Ye shook his head. For a woman who rarely drinks, serving heavyweight cocktails right away was obviously not a good idea. Besides, Bloody Mary only sounded impressive, and the taste was really hard to describe.

Born into a wealthy family, Helena's upbringing was clearly very strict, and she rarely came into contact with these kinds of things. As a result, she didn't know much about what the two of them were talking about, especially when the bartender mentioned Alexander, Shen Ye immediately said that she was from France, which left her somewhat confused.

However, because she rarely came into contact with this, she was now watching the bartender's fancy performance with great interest, completely unaware that Shen Ye might have ulterior motives for inviting her to drink.

Of course, she probably had a good first impression of Shen Ye, so this still somewhat naive girl didn't think in that direction.

While the bartender was putting on a dazzling bartending performance, Shen Ye had already picked up his glass and taken a big gulp of vodka on the rocks—perfect for summer.

At this moment, Shen Ye noticed that Helena was looking at the wine glass in his hand.

"Stop looking, it's not suitable for you yet. This is like strong liquor for you."

"Oh!" Helena lost interest upon hearing this and continued watching the bartender mix drinks.

Before long, the cocktail named Alexander was ready. The milky white liquid after mixing caught Helena's eye; the mature young woman had an inexplicable fondness for white.

Helena picked up her glass and took a small sip. A surprised smile appeared on her face. The spiciness she had imagined did not appear. Instead, it had a rich cocoa aroma, and most importantly, a hint of creamy sweetness.

"It's delicious." The mature young woman loved mousse, and she felt that this drink was exactly what she wanted; she liked both the color and the taste.
