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

Now that the marriage certificate is in hand, the next logical step should be to plan the wedding.

However, Ye Shu knew in his heart that it would be a little awkward to discuss this matter in front of Sister Zhi Qiu.

After all, everyone knows that the wedding they were preparing was for themselves and Xiaoxue.

Ye Shu glanced at Zhi Qiu, who was sitting next to her eating fruit, and felt a pang of sadness.

He understood Zhi Qiu; this older sister seemed insightful and open-minded, but in reality, she was more meticulous than anyone else.

If the whole family started to enjoy the grand scene of Xiaoxue's wedding in front of her, even if Sister Zhiqiu didn't care, how could she feel?

Thinking of this, Ye Shu reached out and gently grasped Zhi Qiu's hand. Her hand was cool and slightly damp from eating fruit.

"Sister Zhi Qiu, let's go out for a walk, let's go shopping."

Zhi Qiu raised her head, looked into Ye Shu's eyes, and understood.

"This silly boy is taking care of me," she thought, taking Ye Shu's hand in return, a smile playing on her lips as she softly replied.

"OK."

The two said goodbye to the wedding planning discussion group, saying they were going out for some fresh air. Before the other three could react, the two involved parties simply left, acting as if they were doing nothing.

Even outside the villa, the sunlight was quite hot.

Zhi Qiu linked arms with Ye Shu, and the two strolled slowly along the road leading out of the villa area.

And you know what? Because this area is a villa district, there are hardly any cars on the road, and it's very quiet.

The two continued walking forward. Ye Shu thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at Zhi Qiu's profile, feeling somewhat guilty.

However, he still spoke up and made a promise to Zhi Qiu:

"Sister Zhiqiu, don't worry, I'll take care of your wedding. I promise you won't suffer any injustice."

Zhi Qiu paused, turned around and looked at Ye Shu.

She didn't speak, but simply smiled gently at Ye Shu and nodded slightly.

"Yes, don't worry, sister."

After a while of peaceful tranquility, we left the villa area and the streets finally came alive.

As the warm atmosphere faded, Zhi Qiu's smiling eyes suddenly narrowed. She reached out a hand, pinched Ye Shu's cheek, and gently pulled it outwards, saying with a hint of reproachful coquettishness:

"Speaking of which, little Shu, from this morning until now, I've heard you calling me 'Sister Zhi Qiu' all the time, but you haven't called me 'wife' once. Is that right? Hmm?"

hiss……

Ye Shu is now so stressed that whenever he hears Sister Zhi Qiu say "husband" or "wife," his face turns red before his brain does.

It's not that he didn't want to call out, it's just... those two words were too difficult to say.

Especially under Sister Zhi Qiu's interrogative gaze, he felt like he was being forced into something.

"I... I think it's more natural to call you Sister Zhi Qiu..."

Ye Shu still tried to struggle:

"I'm used to calling them that, and I can't change it overnight..."

"No!"

Zhi Qiu refused outright, tightening her grip on his cheek slightly, and even tiptoed closer to him:

"But I just want to hear you call me 'wife,' okay? Just say it, sweetie, it's not a hard thing."

It is clear that the more Qiu pleaded and begged, the more embarrassed Ye Shu felt.

How can I describe it? It feels like when you were a kid and the teacher called on you to do a problem on the front of the class. You knew how to do it, but with dozens of eyes staring at you, you got so nervous that your mind went blank and you just couldn't bring yourself to write anything down.

Simply put, it's cowardice.

His eyes started darting around, then he quickly pointed to a shop next door and said:

"Hey! Sister Zhi Qiu, look over there, there's an ice cream stand! It's so hot, let's go buy some ice cream."

Without waiting for Zhi Qiu's agreement, he grabbed Zhi Qiu's hand and started walking in that direction, as if a dog was chasing him.

Zhi Qiu was being dragged away by him, but she wasn't in a hurry. She just smiled slightly and watched Ye Shu's hasty escape, thinking to herself.

Little Shu, you can run away, but you can't hide from your family.

Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you'll still call me "wife" and "little brother Xiao Shu."

The two walked to the window of the ice cream shop. Ye Shu looked at the menu and said to the girl selling ice cream:

"A chocolate and vanilla combo, please."

After saying that, he turned to Zhi Qiu and asked:

"Sister Zhi Qiu, you want to eat..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw Zhi Qiu standing beside him, her arm linked with his, but her head was slightly lowered.

That wasn't all, because Ye Shu saw a tear streaming down her face and dripping onto the cement floor.

"What...why is this?!"

Ye Shu panicked immediately. If Sister Zhi Qiu was crying, then the matter must be serious.

It seemed that the tear hadn't fallen to the ground, but rather landed on Ye Shu's heart. He quickly reached out to wipe it away.

"Sister Zhiqiu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhi Qiu dodged his hand, gently wiped the corner of her eye, and sniffed.

Then, in a voice that seemed to be talking to herself, but was loud enough for those around her to hear, she began to speak plaintively:

"It's nothing, I'm just... feeling a little sad."

After speaking, Zhi Qiu slightly raised her head, her eyes still brimming with tears. She looked at Ye Shu and said as if she were acting out a melodramatic romance novel:

"We were so loving before we got our marriage certificate, and I thought I'd finally be cherished and loved. But I never imagined that after we got the certificate and became a legally married couple, you wouldn't love me anymore... You won't even call me 'wife' anymore, sob sob sob..."

As she spoke, she covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling with sobs, though Ye Shu could tell at a glance that she wasn't really crying.

However, the customers buying ice cream, passersby, and the ice cream vendor all frowned.

This... the Oscars owe you a golden statuette, Sister Zhi Qiu!

Ye Shu glanced around and saw that not only were the people around him looking at him like he was a scumbag, but even the guy in the store who was scooping ice cream for him had stopped and was looking in his direction.

Good heavens, is this the legendary case of using someone else to do one's dirty work?

And to kill with so many knives at once, it's like being slowly sliced ​​to death in the street.

Ye Shu felt a cold sweat break out on his brow. He quickly lowered his head, leaned closer to Zhi Qiu, and gently tugged at her arm, whispering:

"Sister Zhi Qiu...stop fooling around, there are so many people watching."

How could Qiu possibly let him go now? She still covered her face, her voice carrying a desperate, poignant tone:

"Even now, you still won't call me 'wife'?! Even... even just to comfort me?"

Wait a minute, doesn't that first half of the sentence sound like a line from a movie?

Ye Shu glanced at the guy with the scoop again. He was really worried that if he didn't order, his ice cream might have some ingredients that weren't on the menu.

The situation is better than people.

Under intense public pressure, Ye Shu finally yielded to Zhi Qiu's forces.

His face flushed, and he whispered something to Zhi Qiu:

"Wife... wife..."

"I can't hear you."

Zhi Qiu covered her face and replied.

Ye Shu took a deep breath and decided to go all out! He shouted loudly at Zhi Qiu:

"Wife!"

His voice was so powerful that several onlookers nearby were about to lose their composure.

But that wasn't all. Zhi Qiu covered her face and said to Ye Shu:

"Then promise me that all day long, no matter what time it is, you'll call me 'wife'..."

"this……"

Ye Shu hesitated, but then noticed that the way the people around her were looking at her had changed.

If he had misreceived the information when exchanging telegrams with Sister Zhi Qiu earlier, he was now 100% certain that the looks in everyone's eyes said one thing: agree to her!!!

He even deciphered the three exclamation marks at the end.

It seemed that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to leave this street, so he could only obediently nod.

"Okay... I promise you, I'll call you that all day..."

"Hmm, good girl."

Zhi Qiu lowered her hand that had been covering her face, a smile spreading across her face; there was no trace of tears.

She took Ye Shu's arm again and, as if nothing had happened, addressed the stunned ice cream shop girl:

"I'd like a combination of strawberry and cream, with crushed peanuts, please."

Everyone around was stunned. How could she change her mind so quickly? Wasn't she just crying her heart out a moment ago?

These people glanced at Ye Shu next to her, who looked like she already knew, and a thought came to their minds.

This woman is not someone to be trifled with!
