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

The second floor of this villa is definitely not as reassuring as living in a high-rise in Yunduanyuan.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Shu had already been living at Anjia's house for three days.

Fortunately, his trip back to Yunduanyuan to rescue Potato Chips a few days ago wasn't in vain. He brought back an automatic feeder from a nearby pet store that same day, set the timer, and Potato Chips definitely won't go hungry at home these days.

The problem lies in the environment.

Ye Shu was used to living in those tall, high-rise buildings where there was absolutely no noise or activity; it was a kind of urban loneliness.

When we arrived at this villa area, it was quite a sight – the yard was full of trees, and the trees were full of birds.

Every morning around four o'clock, as soon as it's light, the birds start chirping happily in the trees. If you call them...

Ye Shu suddenly remembered this lyric, and it did indeed express his current feelings.

He stared resentfully at the tightly closed curtains, cursing the ancestors of those birds in his mind countless times.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one who complained about the noise.

The person beside him, still asleep, frowned slightly, humming softly, then kicked Ye Shu's leg without opening their eyes, muttering reluctantly:

"Ye Shu...don't make a sound, keep your voice down..."

Was it me who started the argument? I'm a victim too, okay?

Ye Shu sighed. Although he was reluctant, he still got out of bed, walked to the window, and closed the window that had been open for ventilation the night before.

But these birds were like they were possessed. When they saw Ye Shu close the window, they chirped even more loudly, as if they were challenging Ye Shu, saying, "Let's see what you can do to me."

"So annoying!"

With a roar, the person on the bed suddenly sat up.

Ye Shu was startled and stood by the window, turning back to look at her.

Xia Qing, with her hair all messed up from sleeping, stared intently at the tree outside the window, her eyes wide open but filled with murderous intent.

"Sister Xia Qing..."

Ye Shu called out softly, a little worried that she might jump off the second floor and fight those birds to the death.

Ye Shu knew that Xia Qing was grumpy when she woke up.

Normally, when she wakes up naturally or is willingly woken up by Ye Shu to go to work, she can suppress her anger; at most, her complexion will be a little unpleasant.

But today, around four o'clock, I was woken up by birds, and I'm not sure I can control my temper.

Xia Qing squinted at the tree outside the window for a long time, then reached out and grabbed the half-empty bottle of mineral water from the bedside table. She got out of bed, took two steps to Ye Shu's side, opened the window, and threw the bottle at the Podocarpus macrophyllus tree in the yard.

Xia Qing used throwing, and the effect was outstanding!

The bottle hit the tree, and the birds in the tree fluttered away, and the world was finally quiet.

Seeing the birds leave, Xia Qing didn't say a word. She turned back to bed, pulled the covers over her head, and muttered to herself:

"Let's see if you still dare to yell..."

Ye Shu was stunned. When Xia Qing stood next to him just now, he felt like he was being burned by the fiery aura emanating from her, and now he didn't dare to make a sound.

What if Xia Qing throws this thing away like it's a water bottle because it makes some noise?

After Xia Qing lay down, she probably felt uncomfortable in the position, so she twisted and turned on the bed, but she still couldn't feel comfortable.

After fidgeting for a while, she suddenly sat up abruptly, frowned at Ye Shu who was still standing by the window, and said impatiently:

"Are you on guard duty over there? Come and get some sleep!"

"Ah...oh..."

Startled by her shout, Ye Shu quickly and obediently went back to bed and lay down.

Xia Qing turned to her side, draped one arm over his chest, and straddled Ye Shu's leg with the other. She rested her face on Ye Shu's shoulder, found a comfortable position, took a deep breath, and then fell asleep again.

Without the disturbance of birdsong, and having been so engrossed in shopping with Sister Zhi Qiu yesterday, he only realized last night after dinner that his legs felt like they didn't belong to him anymore.

He truly admired Sister Zhi Qiu; she walked all day in those high heels and came back as if nothing had happened.

Held so tightly by Xia Qing, and with the world finally quiet, listening to Xia Qing's breathing, Ye Shu drifted back to sleep.

As for the half-empty bottle of mineral water still stuck in the tree branch outside the window... who cares about that? Let's go to sleep first...

When Ye Shu opened her eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky. She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was 8:40.

Xia Qing was still fast asleep next to me, seemingly oblivious. It seems that wandering around outside all day yesterday had some negative effects on her... or rather, on her health.

Ye Shu looked at her sleeping face; she was truly beautiful.

But beauty can't fill an empty stomach; he was indeed hungry and needed to get up and eat.

He carefully tried to move out from under Xia Qing's arm, but as soon as he moved, Xia Qing, who had only been draped over him, suddenly tightened her grip and locked him firmly.

"Anything else... I'll sleep a little longer..."

Xia Qing rubbed her face against his shoulder, her whimpering little face was quite endearing.

Just as Ye Shugang softened, Xia Qing followed up with the second half of her sentence:

"If you move again... I'll kill you..."

If it doesn't move, how dare I move it?

I'm already honest, please let me go.

Ye Shu remained in that position, not daring to move, and stayed stiff on the bed for more than ten minutes. It was almost nine o'clock when Xia Qing finally woke up.

The first thing Xia Qing saw when she woke up was Ye Shu's tense, helpless, and slightly timid expression.

She stared at it for several seconds before asking:

"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No... I'm just afraid you'll beat me to death..."

Xia Qing didn't understand. She frowned and looked at him with a "Are you still half asleep?" look.

Why would I kill you?

"Maybe... it's because I moved around a bit..."

Ye Shu replied.

Xia Qing obviously didn't believe it, but she just thought Ye Shu was joking and didn't investigate further. She just stayed on him for a while before slowly sitting up and stretching.

The two chatted idly, and Ye Shu recounted, as a joke, how Xia Qing had used a mineral water bottle to knock down the bird command post outside the window that morning.

Xia Qing looked incredulous after hearing this, but still stubbornly insisted:

"How could that be? I'm not that violent. You must have been slandering me in your dream."

Ye Shu didn't explain, but simply pulled her out of bed and walked to the window, pointing to the Podocarpus macrophyllus in the yard, and the half-bottle of mineral water stuck on the branch of the tree directly opposite the window.

Xia Qing stared at the bottle for a while before vaguely imagining that something was making a terrible racket and was indeed quite annoying, but she thought it was just a dream.

"Ahem...then what..."

Xia Qing coughed lightly, a little embarrassed:

"Find a chance later and secretly take that water bottle down, okay?"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and waved it in front of Ye Shu's eyes, threateningly saying:

"Don't let anyone find out, or I'll kill you!"

The words "I'll beat you to death" slipped out of her mouth, and Xia Qing was stunned again. Then she blushed a little and turned to leave the room.
