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

Chen Xing's wedding was held in the hotel's grand hall. Since Ye Shu and his friends arrived the day before, Ye Shu hadn't seen the bride-to-be since he finished talking to Chen Xing about the scumbag man's confession.

It goes without saying that someone who's getting married tomorrow must be incredibly busy right now.

When Ye Shu returned to the room, Xiao Xue was still fast asleep, in the same position, still holding the pillow in her arms. It seemed that the child was really exhausted.

Ye Shu quietly lay back on the bed, secretly pulled out the pillow, and started playing on her phone with her arm instead.

But as he was scrolling through his phone, he suddenly remembered something important: he hadn't given the monetary gift yet!

It's really not his fault for being negligent.

Back in my hometown, when I attended relatives' weddings, my dad was always in charge of giving gifts. I never had to worry about it; he was just there to earn a living.

When I got to college, I was surrounded by a bunch of old bachelors who couldn't even figure out how to date, let alone attend weddings.

So strictly speaking, this wedding of Chen Xing was the first wedding that Ye Shu attended by herself.

On his way here, he even checked on his phone when it would be appropriate to give the gift money.

There are basically two versions of the story online: one is that it's given at the door on the wedding day, and the other is that it's given in advance. This kind of thing is never given afterward.

But Ye Shu thought about the scene downstairs just now. Judging from Chen Xing's personality, it didn't seem like someone would set up a table at the door to collect red envelopes tomorrow.

Let's find an opportunity to run into Sister Chen Xing and her brother-in-law later.

He felt that online transfers weren't the right thing to do, so he went to the bank to withdraw cash and even got a big red envelope.

After lying in bed for a while and scrolling through my phone, Xiaoxue finally stirred.

Xiaoxue opened her eyes groggily, and the first thing she did was close them again, hugging Ye Shu's arm and snuggling deeper into the blankets.

Ye Shu turned to look at her and asked:

"Are you awake?"

Xiaoxue closed her eyes, shook her head on the pillow, and mumbled:

"He's not awake yet..."

"Still not awake?"

Ye Shu rolled over, propped himself up on his arms, and slowly moved closer to Xiaoxue's face, staring at her as he said:

"Then I'll have to check and see if someone's lying to me."

Xiaoxue's eyes were tightly closed, but with Ye Shu staring at her so closely, her eyelids began to tremble slightly, and her fair face slowly turned red.

She couldn't hold back any longer. She opened her eyes a crack, saw how close Ye Shu was to her, and quickly closed them again, silently surrendering under the covers.

"Wake up, wake up... Stop staring..."

After saying that, she slowly sat up from the bed.

I took a nap, my hair was all messy, I was yawning, and my eyes were still half asleep.

Xiaoxue looks really cute after waking up; she gives off a soft and cuddly feeling.

Ye Shu reached out and smoothed her hair, saying:

"You should wake up. If you sleep a little longer, it will be past dinner time."

"dinner?"

Xiaoxue became much more alert when she heard there was food to eat.

"Okay, let's go downstairs for dinner. Then we'll go find Sister Chen Xing and her husband; we have something to give them."

Xiaoxue nodded and followed Ye Shu out of bed.

Her feet had barely touched the ground when she turned to look at the bedside table, scanned it, and asked:

"Where are my sunglasses and mask?"

"You just remembered?"

Ye Shu laughed. Xiao Xue's reaction time was really long; it had been almost a whole day.

"Um?"

Xiaoxue turned to look at Ye Shu smiling at her, not understanding what he meant.

Ye Shu walked to her side and put his arm around her shoulder:

"Didn't you notice? Ever since we got off the high-speed train, you haven't been wearing sunglasses or a mask."

Xiaoxue was stunned by Ye Shu's question.

She thought hard for a moment... Oh right, it seems... there really isn't one!

No wonder she found the sunlight so dazzling, and her breathing no longer felt stuffy; she didn't even remember to pull her mask down while eating.

Xiaoxue belatedly began to feel scared; she had actually been outside for so long without any precautions.

Seeing her like this, Ye Shu hugged her tighter and comforted her:

"Okay, see, it's fine if you don't wear it."

Ye Shu looked down at Xiao Xue, who was still in shock in his arms, and continued:

"Besides, our Xiaoxue is so beautiful, it's such a waste to keep her covered up all the time. It makes it impossible for me to see her."

"Who...who's pretty..."

When Ye Shu suddenly called her beautiful, Xiaoxue's face turned red as if a switch had been flipped, and she didn't know whether to be scared or shy.

Seeing her flushed face, Ye Shu lowered his arm, took her little hand, and even squeezed it.

"Let's go downstairs to eat, so I can show off to others that I have a beautiful girlfriend too."

Xiaoxue's face flushed even more after his teasing, but she also felt a little pleased inside.

Ye Shu was proud to be his girlfriend.

Xiaoxue blushed, nodded gently, and let Ye Shu lead her outside.

However, Ye Shu was still careful, keeping his sunglasses and mask in his coat pocket at all times, just in case Xiaoxue felt unwell later.

From the room to the restaurant, Xiaoxue kept her head down the whole way, her eyes fixed on the patch of ground in front of her.

The restaurant is on the first floor and has a very nice ambiance.

Because they arrived a bit late, and not everyone eats here, there were only a few tables of guests left in the hall, mostly relatives and friends of Sister Chen Xing and her brother-in-law, so it was relatively quiet.

Dinner at the restaurant is a buffet; you can help yourself to whatever you want to eat.

Ye Shu carried a plate in one hand and held Xiao Xue's hand in the other, leading her slowly around the dining table, asking about each dish as they appeared:

"Would you like to eat this? Sweet and sour pork, it's sweet and sour."

Xiaoxue lifted her eyes from Ye Shu's shoulder and hummed in agreement. If she didn't want to eat, she would just gently shake her head.

Ye Shu led her around, asking about each dish, and then, carrying the plate of food, found a spot in the innermost corner against the wall.

Two chairs were placed side by side, with Ye Shu sitting on the outside, and the two of them sitting with their backs to the restaurant.

In this way, Xiaoxue's vision was limited to the walls, the table, dinner, and herself.

"See, everything's alright, isn't it?"

Ye Shu smiled at Xiao Xue, and Xiao Xue seemed to relax a bit.

She took a small sip of orange juice before picking up her chopsticks to eat the plate of filtered dinner.

Ye Shu didn't rush to eat. He rested his chin on his hand, tilted his head, and watched Xiao Xue eat.

He really enjoyed watching her eat, especially Xiaoxue, who was very distinctive.

The four of them each had their own unique way of eating. Xiaoxue ate like a little rabbit nibbling on a leaf of vegetable, taking small bites but frequently chewing them very carefully, her cheeks puffing out. Coupled with the way she focused on eating with her head down, she was very cute, which was Ye Shu's favorite thing to watch, as it was very soothing.

Xiao Nuan eats like a model student, chewing slowly and carefully, making sure to chew each bite a certain number of times before swallowing.

There's not much to see when Sister Zhi Qiu eats. She eats without making a sound, and her lips are always closed. She chews very little, and sometimes you can't even tell if she's eating anything unless you look closely.

As for Sister Xia Qing... well... her eating style can be described as very bold and unrestrained. Although she didn't wolf down her food, she still ate with great gusto.

Ye Shu used chopsticks to remove the bones from a piece of fish and placed it on Xiao Xue's plate:

Be careful when you eat.

"Um."

Xiaoxue glanced at Ye Shu, then continued eating in small bites.

Oh my... it's so therapeutic...

Ye Shu watched Xiao Xue's immersive mukbang with a satisfied expression; just watching Xiao Xue eat made him feel full.

As for red envelopes and such... we'll talk about that later.
