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

The next morning, Ye Shu was not woken up by an alarm clock, but by a gentle knock on the door.

He was sleeping soundly at that time, and he was holding that warm and soft person in his arms, which made him feel very secure.

Until Shen Jingwan's gentle voice came from outside the door:

"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu, wake up! Come downstairs for breakfast."

Shen Jingwan had been calling for a while when Ye Shu finally opened his eyes groggily, turned his head to look out the window, and realized it was already daytime.

He instinctively hugged the body in his arms; it was warm and the person was still asleep.

But this tender moment lasted less than three seconds before he remembered what had happened last night.

I tossed and turned, my mind in turmoil, when the door was pushed open and the person who slipped into bed...

Ye Shu suddenly regained consciousness.

I rely on!

Well... I was just focused on feeling at ease last night, so I didn't think about that much.

Why do I suddenly feel like I've been caught red-handed in bed?

In someone else's home, in front of their parents, secretly taking their daughter into bed and sleeping in their arms in the middle of the night...

He quickly faced the door and answered somewhat guiltily:

"Hey... I'm coming."

Outside the door, Shen Jingwan's voice, tinged with laughter, lightly added:

"Tell Xiaoxue to hurry up, breakfast is all ready, it'll get cold soon."

After she finished speaking, Shen Jingwan's footsteps echoed downstairs.

Ye Shu's face flushed instantly. Aunt Shen's tone... did she know... and even tacitly approve of it?

Ye Shu felt a little ashamed, but also a little reassured.

He looked down at the person still fast asleep in his arms. Xiaoxue was sleeping soundly, her little face slightly flushed.

Ye Shu reached out and gently patted her face, whispering:

"Wake up, wake up, get up."

The person in his arms frowned, their face slightly scrunched up, and they muttered reluctantly:

"Okay, okay... Got it..."

After saying this, she didn't wake up. Instead, she snuggled her head into Ye Shu's arms and fell asleep again.

Ye Shu felt a little sorry for her as she lingered in bed.

Xiaoxue stayed up half the night last night before she could fall asleep. Coupled with the continuous high-intensity work over the past few days, although it's obvious that Xiaoxue isn't online now, the fatigue in her body can't just disappear because of a change in personnel.

Ye Shu looked down and carefully examined the person in her arms. It seemed like she had dark circles under her eyes. Well... let her sleep a little longer.

He slowly pulled his arm out from under the head of the person in his arms, afraid of waking her up.

Then I quietly rolled out of bed, picked up my phone from the bedside table, pressed a button, but there was no response; it must have run out of battery and turned off.

He put down his phone, went into the bathroom to wash up, and felt much more refreshed after splashing cold water on his face.

After he finished washing up and came out, he saw the person still sleeping on the bed, leaned over, and whispered:

"Get up, time for breakfast."

"Ugh... I'm not eating anymore! I'm sleepy..."

As she spoke, she buried her face in the pillow, her feet kicking wildly under the covers.

Ye Shu couldn't quite make out the last word; it was either "sleepy" or "get lost," but whatever it was, she really didn't want to get up.

Seeing her like this, Ye Shu didn't force her. After all, she had worked so many days in a row. Even if the person working changed every day, her body was still the same.

Ye Shu helped cover her exposed shoulder and said softly:

"Alright, then you should get some rest. I'm leaving now."

It's unclear whether she heard Ye Shu's words clearly, but she hummed in response under the pillow.

Ye Shu smiled, turned around and left the guest room, gently closing the door behind her.

Over time, he had developed a habit of going through his morning routine as soon as he stepped out of his bedroom, even though he wasn't in Yunduanyuan.

Wash up, make breakfast, feed the dog, change the water, then eat breakfast, go to work...

and many more!

Feeding the dog food?!

Finished!

He didn't go home last night. Those potato chips are at home; aren't they going to starve?!

Although Xiaoxue and the others have been helping out at the store these past few days, Ye Shu prepares double the amount of dog food every morning before leaving home, saving the potato chips for lunch.

Unlike other dogs, this dog doesn't know when it's hungry and will eat as much as it wants.

It won't eat even if you force-feed it when it's full, so Ye Shu is usually quite at ease with it.

But he only left enough for two meals yesterday morning!

The child didn't eat dinner last night, and didn't eat breakfast this morning either... Won't they go crazy from hunger?

Ye Shu jogged down the stairs, clutching the unpowered brick in her hand.

As soon as he went downstairs, he found Shen Jingwan and asked:

"Auntie, my phone is dead and turned off. Do you have a charger at home? I want to charge it."

"Go look near the sofa; it should be in the coffee table drawer."

Shen Jingwan turned around and pointed to the living room.

Ye Shu hurried over, and sure enough, there was one. Moreover, most chargers are universal nowadays. Ye Shu plugged his phone in and felt a little more at ease.

He walked over to the dining table to prepare breakfast.

Although he knew he should rush home to feed Potato Chips right now, his phone was dead and he couldn't even hail a taxi. How was he supposed to get there?

I can only charge my phone here for a while and eat my meal quickly. As for the chips... I don't think I'll be too late, right?

It shouldn't be bad... right?

"Hey, where's Xiaoxue? Why isn't she coming down yet?"

Shen Jingwan was at the dining table, ladling freshly made soy milk into a bowl, which was still steaming hot.

She even added two spoonfuls of sugar to Ye Shu's bowl. She already knew that her future son-in-law liked sweet soy milk, and she had specifically instructed Sister Liu to grind the soy milk in the morning.

Ye Shu took the soy milk, stirred it with a spoon, and said:

"I saw that she was too tired and went to bed late last night, so I let her rest at home. She can go to the store by herself today."

After saying that, he felt like he had let something slip.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, he felt a strong sense of oppression coming from across the table. He didn't even need to look up to know who it was; it must be Uncle An, who loved his daughter dearly.

However, since Aunt Shen already knows that the two of them slept together last night, Uncle An must also know.

The reason he hasn't had an attack yet is mainly because Xiaoxue sneaked into his room. If it were him sneaking into Xiaoxue's room last night, he would probably have been beaten to a pulp on the spot.

Ye Shu kept her head down and didn't look at him, focusing on drinking her soy milk.

"Oh my, our little Shu is so caring."

Shen Jingwan picked up a fried dough stick from the side and placed it on Ye Shu's plate. The dough stick looked freshly fried and sounded crispy.

"But Xiao Shu, if you're too tired, you should take a break. Like I said, this money can't be earned in a day, so don't ruin your health, okay?"

"Yes, I understand, Auntie."

Ye Shu nodded while eating her fried dough stick.

"Mmm, eat up."

Shen Jingwan didn't say anything more, she just reached out and patted Ye Shu's head.

Although Ye Shu was enjoying the feeling of being thoroughly understood by his elders, and even finding it warm, he still ate the fried dough stick in his mouth very quickly, silently reciting to himself as he chewed:

"Potato Chips, you have to hang in there! I'm coming to save you!"
