The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

The girl asked softly, instinctively hugging the carrot pillow even tighter.

Ye Shu was stunned for a moment.

This didn't match any of the eccentric landlords he had imagined; she was clearly a sweet, adorable, and socially awkward girl next door.

He quickly forced what he thought was his friendliest smile:

"Yes, yes, I am Ye Shu, and you must be... Miss An?"

"Um...please come in."

The girl nodded and stepped aside.

Ye Shu walked into the apartment and was instantly speechless with shock at the sight before her.

With an extremely expansive view, the entire city's dazzling nightscape seems to be beneath your feet through the huge curved floor-to-ceiling windows.

The interior design is highly sophisticated, with high-end furniture, art pieces everywhere, and a subtle fragrance permeating the air.

A voice echoed in his mind: extravagance~~~~

He suppressed his elation and immense doubt, striving to appear calm.

An Suxue followed behind him, seemingly at a loss, her voice still soft:

"That...requirement...you've seen it, right? It's the one about the substitution..."

"I've seen it, and I completely understand it."

Ye Shu turned around, her tone incredibly sincere:

"Don't worry, I will absolutely respect the landlord's lifestyle, keep my emotions stable, and be completely obedient and won't meddle in other people's business."

Looking at the cute girl in front of him, he automatically interpreted "changing people" as needing to frequently receive visitors.

After all, what bad intentions could such a cute and gentle girl possibly have? Right?

An Suxue blinked her big eyes, seemingly wanting to explain something, but in the end she just nodded slightly, revealing a faint, slightly shy smile:

"That's good... Actually, it's not that exaggerated... It's just that sometimes... I might be a little different... I hope you won't be scared..."

Different? How different could she be? This cute and cuddly girl, how could she possibly turn into a tigress? Ye Shu didn't think much of it, only finding the girl both strange and adorable.

He signed a simple agreement on the spot, practically emptying his savings to pay the rent. Holding the spare key and having his fingerprints recorded, Ye Shu felt that a happy life was beckoning to him.

A ridiculously cheap luxury apartment, and my roommate is a seemingly easy-going and adorable girl... Life's ups and downs, God, it seems you still like me.

An Suxue was still hugging the giant carrot pillow, as if holding it up as a shield in front of her, and whispered:

"I...I'll take you to your room."

She led Ye Shu through a spacious living room, wide enough to ice skate in, to a door, her voice soft and weak:

"This is...this is the one."

Ye Shu took a deep breath, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open.

In an instant, he was once again stunned.

The room was spacious and bright, and the decoration was so exquisite that it looked like a showroom in a five-star hotel.

A large bed that looked even bigger than the small single room he used to live in, a separate desk, a wardrobe, and even a small sofa and floor lamp.

The most amazing thing is that it has a clean, separate bathroom, and even a large bathtub!

"H-How...how is it?...Are you satisfied?"

An Suxue peeked out from behind him, asking timidly, the carrot pillow almost completely covering her face.

Satisfied? I'd kneel down and lick your shoes right now and do it!

Luxurious renovation, private bathroom, move-in ready, monthly rent 800, and a quiet, harmless, and adorable girl as your roommate...

This wasn't a windfall; it was a discus falling from the sky, and it slammed right into Ye Shu's face.

Afraid that the discus would fly off his face, he quickly turned around, plastered the most sincere and harmless smile he had ever given himself on his face, and nodded frantically:

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied! Absolutely perfect! Ms. An, thank you!"

His overly enthusiastic reaction seemed to have startled her. An Suxue, like a frightened rabbit, instinctively took a small step back, clutching her cushion, and lowered her voice even further:

"Well...that's good...I...I'll go back to my room now...Goodbye..."

After saying that, she practically ran back to the master bedroom across the street, and the door was quickly closed.

Ye Shu stood there, scratching his head, a little embarrassed. It seemed his roommate was unusually shy. He shrugged; he wasn't exactly a social butterfly anyway, and this distanced cohabitation was just what he wanted.

He closed the door and looked around his new home again, a sense of unreal happiness enveloping him. He walked to the soft, large bed and reached out to touch the high-quality mattress.

"Never mind!"

He cheered and, without even bothering to pack his luggage or change his clothes, leaped up and landed hard on the soft bed.

My body was instantly enveloped by the soft, elastic mattress, and the fatigue, anxiety, and unease of the past few days were dispelled by this ultimate comfort.

The faint scent of bedding lingered in the air, and through the gaps in the curtains, one could see the city lights twinkling outside.

Heaven...this must be heaven...

He sighed contentedly, and his eyelids began to droop.

The thoughts of "I haven't packed my luggage yet" and "Should I take a shower?" flashed vaguely through my mind, but a heavy sense of fatigue surged in like a tide, completely drowning out these faint thoughts.

He was dressed in his outdoor clothes, without even a blanket, and filled with boundless anticipation for his new life. He fell into a deep sleep on the incredibly soft bed.

……

……

……

Ye Shu woke up from hunger after an unknown amount of time.

It was completely dark outside the window, and the city's neon lights cast dappled shadows on the expensive floor through the gaps in the curtains.

The rumbling of his stomach reminded him that he hadn't eaten anything since that perfunctory lunch he had during the job interview at noon.

He sat up groggily, rubbed his eyes, and it took him a few seconds to realize where he was.

Yes, Cloud Garden, a luxury apartment with a monthly rent of 800.

We need to find something to eat.

He slipped on his slippers and quietly opened the door, careful not to disturb his seemingly fragile roommate across the hall.

The living room was pitch black, except for a faint light coming from the kitchen, and... subtle noises?

Miss An isn't asleep either? Is she looking for something to eat in the kitchen?

Without thinking much, Ye Shu groped her way to the kitchen in the dark, thinking that it would be a good opportunity to say hello and ask if she could borrow the refrigerator or kettle.

However, when he approached and saw the person in the kitchen through the light shining through the crack in the refrigerator door, he froze on the spot, all sleepiness gone.

That was indeed An Suxue, but at this moment she was wearing a simple vest and athletic shorts, outlining a figure completely different from the plush rabbit pajamas she wore during the day.

Although it's An Suxue,... something feels completely off.

At this moment, she was facing away from Ye Shu, taking a can of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator, tilting her head back and gulping down several large mouthfuls, her posture casual and even a little... bold?

As if sensing the gaze behind her, she turned around abruptly and saw Ye Shu frozen in place. There was no fear or shyness in his eyes, only displeasure and scrutiny from being disturbed.

"Hello!"

She spoke, her voice clear and crisp, tinged with a hint of impatience:

"Are you just standing there like a doorman? What are you up to, staying up so late at night?"
