For a moment, Ida felt dazed, as if she had returned to the time on the train, because that was what she had been thinking back then.
But... such a simple wish seems so far out of reach!
Ada gave a self-deprecating laugh without making a sound, but quickly smiled again. She squeezed Shen Ye's hand and asked, "Where in Z country is your home? What's the scenery like? Is there a sea nearby?"
Upon hearing these questions, Shen Ye honestly replied, "I live in Hunan Province, where the scenery is picturesque, but there is no sea."
“It doesn’t matter if there’s no sea, as long as there’s a nice view,” Ida said.
Then she continued to ask about Shen Ye's family, such as what his parents' personalities were like, what their hobbies were, and what kind of girls they liked...
These questions made Shen Ye increasingly uneasy. It sounded like he was preparing to meet the parents.
While this is normal for ordinary men and women who like each other, is Ida an ordinary woman?
Shen Ye was a little confused, but he still answered Ada's question. At the same time, he was thinking that he would have to ask the system next time how to bring the characters in the story back to reality.
And so, with one asking a question and the other answering, they soon left Roanapura and arrived at the dock where Shen Ye had once been.
This pier is just an ordinary pier in Roanapur. There are hardly any people during the day, and it is extremely quiet at night.
Under the moonlight, the two sat on a bench, quietly listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.
After an unknown amount of time, the two suddenly faced each other as if by telepathy and kissed.
……
It was midnight when I got back to my place.
At this hour, Coco and Robert were still awake; only Farme had gone to rest.
Seeing the two return, Robert suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, while Coco curiously looked them over before making a startling remark: "I thought you weren't coming back tonight? Or have you already finished?"
"Don't overthink it." Shen Ye glanced at her and said, "We're just shopping normally."
"Just shopping? I don't believe it." Coco didn't believe it. She glanced at Ida and shook her head vigorously.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine too." Shen Ye shrugged, sat down on the sofa, took the tea Robert handed him, and lit a cigarette.
Ada walked over to Coco and pushed her into the room.
But Coco also said, "Didn't anything happen when you two were 'shopping'? Also, what's it like shopping with a man?"
"If you want to know, find a man you like first." Ada forcefully pushed Coco into the bedroom and then slammed the door shut.
Looking around the living room where only he and Shen Ye remained, Robert walked up to Shen Ye and asked, "Shen, are you getting ready to rest?"
"Wait a moment," Shen Ye said. "Oh, by the way, go to my bedroom and get a blanket. I'll make a makeshift bed on the floor later."
“You can sleep on the sofa, just like this afternoon,” Robert said. “I don’t mind.”

Chapter 107! A Temporary Farewell, and the Beginning of a New Story
……
For the next few days, Shen Ye lived a very comfortable life. Every day, besides cooking, he would go shopping with Ada and the others.
Yes, it was them, including Coco and Robert, and Levi who went to drink with Shen Ye.
However, their purposes were different. Coco used the opportunity of shopping to find out more about his preferences, while also offering him countless incentives.
Levi simply wanted to drink with him, and of course, she always got drunk and stayed at his house for the night.
As for Robert, he was just buying clothes; he was just there for reference.
However, Shen Ye's own fashion sense was just average, and he accidentally remarked that the maid outfits were quite pretty, so Robert bought several maid outfits of various styles.
But this leisurely period didn't last long. As Roanapura slowly regained his vitality, things became much busier.
First, there's the Black Lagoon agency; they've taken on many cases, mostly for the Moscow Hotel.
Next was Coco. After learning that the Moscow Hotel and the Triads urgently needed a batch of new weapons, they took the initiative to go to them to discuss business. Afterwards, they said goodbye to Shen Ye and Ada and headed to Europe.
Meanwhile, Robert and her companions began preparing for their departure, as the Moscow Hotel finally had the time to arrange everything for their return home.
A few days later, after seeing off Garcia and Robert, who were reluctant to part, Ada also received a recall order from HCH headquarters.
The night before Ada left, the two found a quiet place, drank alcohol, and talked about some things.
Then, nothing more was said that night…
……
When Shen Ye woke up the next day, Ada was already gone, leaving only the lingering fragrance of the beauty on his pillow.
After a moment of melancholy and brooding, Shen Ye quickly tidied up and prepared to return to his rented apartment.
However, before returning to his rented apartment, Shen Ye first called Balalaika to say goodbye, and then went to Black Lagoon to say goodbye to Levi and the others.
After all, the story of Black Lagoon 1 has ended, and he should be able to return to reality soon.
But he arrived at the wrong time; no one was inside the firm, they were probably still out working.
"Well, goodbyes are always sad, so let's just go like this."
Shen Ye sighed and then returned to his rented apartment.
Inside the rented room, Shen Ye tidied up the items in the system space, throwing away things that were temporarily unnecessary and could be bought in the real world, and then loading the unused guns and ammunition into it.
After doing all this, Shen Ye summoned the system.
"My esteemed host, may I ask what brings you here?" The system's emotionless but polite voice rang in Shen Ye's mind.
"Of course you'll take me back," Shen Ye said matter-of-factly.
"Now?" the system asked. "I thought the host had been having such a comfortable time these past few days and would want to stay a while longer."
"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked, puzzled. "Besides, they've already left, the story is over."
"No, it's not over yet, because there will be a new storyline to experience soon." The system said, "Of course, everything is up to the host. If the host wants to go back, you can do so now."
"Wait... a new plot?" Shen Ye was taken aback. "Is it part of the Resident Evil series, or a continuation of the Black Lagoon storyline? Or is it part of Jormungand?"
"I'm sorry, this system can only tell you that the following plot takes place in South America. As for what will happen, please experience it for yourself. Because of your involvement, all the plots in this world have changed to varying degrees."
“South America? Could it be…” Upon hearing that the plot takes place in South America, Shen Ye paused again, then exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be Operation Havel? No, the Black Lagoon characters are here too, so maybe it’s about Garcia and Robert… Damn, this is really hard to guess. Could it be another crossover plot?”
"Please experience it for yourself, host." The system repeated the same message.
"Okay." Shen Ye pouted.
"So, host, would you like to return directly to reality, or stay in the current world?" the system asked.
Shen Ye thought for a moment, and finally said with certainty, "I want to stay."
……
Since he wasn't leaving for the time being, Shen Ye gave up the idea of checking out, even though he didn't care about the rent.
He then went outside to the roadside and used a public phone to call Balalaika's office.
"Hello, is this Balalaika?"
"It's me, Shen. What's up?" Balalaika asked. "Do you feel that a verbal farewell isn't sincere enough? Would you like to treat me to a meal?"
"Hey, even if it's a dinner invitation, you should be the one paying! I'm the one who's leaving," Shen Ye said irritably.
“That works too. You can pick any spot you like, or we can find a place to drink. Yellow Flag Bar has reopened, we can go there and have a good drink.” Balalaika chuckled.
"Anywhere is fine, I'm not picky... Hey, how did we end up talking about this?" Shen Ye slapped his forehead, realizing he'd been led astray by Balalaika.
"Well, Balalaika, I need to ask you for a favor," Shen Ye said after gathering his thoughts.
"Go ahead and say it. As long as it's not about borrowing money from me, I'll do anything," Balalaika said nonchalantly, resting her chin on her hand.
“I need a ship to South America… uh, I mean, a boat,” Shen Ye said.
He originally wanted to help him get a plane ticket, but he didn't have a legal identity in this world, and because of what happened in Roanapur, he didn't want to be targeted by the US as soon as he boarded the plane, so he immediately changed his mind and asked about the ship.
"Oh! Are you going to find that maid? She's only been gone a few days, and you already miss her?" Balalaika paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes.
"Uh, it's not like that." Shen Ye was speechless for a moment, then thought for a moment and explained, "I just want to go there for a trip."
"Really? Just a trip? Alright then." Balalaika didn't ask any further questions and beckoned her adjutant over.
"Go check the ships that are going to South America soon."
"Yes, Captain." The adjutant stood at attention, nodded, and then left the office.
A few minutes later, the adjutant returned.
"Captain, there is a cargo ship heading to South America that will depart in about five days."
"Thank you for your hard work." Balalaika nodded, then relayed the information the adjutant had found over the phone.
"Five days later?" Shen Ye scratched his head, it seemed he would have to stay in Roanapur for a few more days.
Then he added, "Okay, thanks, Balalaika."
"You're welcome," Balalaika said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.
