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

"Get up, Xiao Shu."

Ye Shu yawned, his eyes wide and lifeless, and staggered downstairs.

Shen Jingwan was sitting on the sofa chatting when she turned around and saw Ye Shu. She greeted him with a smile:

"Breakfast is still warm, go and have some."

On the sofa, An Jianxing and Ye Guoqiang sat side by side, chatting idly while watching the international situation on TV.

Ye Shu yawned, grunted, and then wandered towards the restaurant.

Shen Jingwan looked at him, still half asleep, and asked:

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm... A mosquito got into the room, and I can't swat it. Even the electric mosquito repellent didn't work. It circled around me all night."

Ye Shu stopped, raised her left arm towards Shen Jingwan, and pointed to a red mosquito bite on her wrist:

"I let it have a buffet dinner tonight."

Hearing him say that, Shen Jingwan couldn't help but smile.

Hearing the noise, Ye Guoqiang, who was on the sofa, turned around and chimed in:

"This child has always been a mosquito magnet. When he was at home, the mosquitoes would only bite him and no one else."

Ye Shu was helpless; he was just unlucky to have such a mosquito-attracting constitution.

He walked into the restaurant, took a spoon and ladled himself a bowl of millet porridge, along with side dishes and a large meat bun. Although he hadn't slept well, he ate quite heartily.

Xiao Nuan came in just as I finished eating a steamed bun.

Why was Ye Shu able to identify Xiao Nuan at a glance? Here's a little trick.

To tell if someone is Xiao Nuan, don't look at their face, look at their outfit first.

Putting aside Xiao Nuan's expressionless face, in this family, besides Xiao Nuan, who else gets up early in the morning and dresses like they're going to work?

He wore a white shirt buttoned up to his neck, black suit pants, and his hair was tied in a neat ponytail at the back of his head, making him look very proper.

Her outfit has remained largely unchanged ever since Ye Shu met her.

"Are you awake?"

Ye Shu reached for another steamed bun, took a bite, and called out to her:

"It's still warm, have some."

Xiao Nuan nodded without saying anything and sat down next to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu was used to it, so he grabbed a bowl and filled it with porridge for her as well.

The two ate breakfast quietly, one swallowing large mouthfuls while the other chewed slowly, creating a harmonious scene.

But soon, Xiao Nuan noticed Ye Shu's little actions.

He would take a couple of bites of food, then raise his right hand and scratch his left wrist twice, and he did this very frequently.

He takes two bites and then scratches twice; he takes two bites and then scratches twice...

Xiao Nuan didn't say much, but put down her chopsticks, grabbed Ye Shu's left wrist, and looked down.

When she saw the bright red mosquito bite, she blinked and said:

"Avoid scratching mosquito bites. Scratching damages the skin's epidermal barrier, allowing pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus on your hands to enter the subcutaneous tissue through broken skin, leading to secondary infections such as folliculitis and skin suppuration. Furthermore, scratching stimulates local nerves to release large amounts of inflammatory mediators, exacerbating the skin's inflammatory response and overactivating melanocytes in the dermis, causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Even if the redness and swelling at the bite site completely subside, a persistent dark pigmentation mark may remain, which can take several weeks to months to fade."

……

Ye Shu blinked too. He roughly understood. Xiao Nuan meant that scratching would cause infection and leave marks that wouldn't go away for several weeks, right?

Anyone who has ever been bitten by a mosquito knows that a mosquito bite, especially a big one, is incredibly itchy. It's unbearable, and the more you scratch, the itchier it gets, creating a vicious cycle.

Ye Shu couldn't resist and tapped the bag again with her hand:

"I understand the logic, but I can't resist scratching it."

Seeing his flustered and pale face, Xiao Nuan didn't say anything. She just lowered her head, opened her mouth, and gently licked the mosquito bite twice with the tip of her tongue.

The soft, moist sensation was indeed quite comfortable...

However, now that the itching had stopped, Ye Shu felt a stirring of itch in her heart.

Xiao Nuan licked it twice, then looked up at Ye Shu and said:

"The lysozyme in saliva can provide temporary relief from itching, but the effect only lasts for 3 to 5 minutes. After eating, you can apply soapy water to the affected area. Mosquito venom is acidic, and the principle of neutralization with a slightly alkaline solution can effectively relieve itching."

After saying that, she turned around, picked up the bowl, and continued drinking her porridge as if nothing had happened.

Ye Shu stared at the small, damp mark on her wrist for a long while before silently taking a bite of her steamed bun. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head:

Thank goodness for the mosquitoes. If they had bitten my mouth next time, would that have been... um?

After dinner, the wedding planning group in the living room had already started their meeting.

Ye Shu originally planned to find an excuse to take Xiao Nuan out, just like the previous two days. In the past few days, he tried his best not to let them participate in the discussion of this matter, so as not to make them feel uncomfortable.

But when he led Xiaonuan towards the door today, Xiaonuan turned her head and stared at the sofa, asking calmly:

"Why can't I listen?"

"It's not that I can't listen, it's just..."

Ye Shu looked at Xiao Nuan, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth:

I'm afraid you'll be unhappy if you hear that.

Why am I unhappy?

Xiao Nuan turned around and looked at him, asking.

"Because... they were talking about Xiaoxue's wedding."

Ye Shu answered honestly because Xiao Nuan was like a blank sheet of paper, and you absolutely couldn't beat around the bush when talking to her.

Xiao Nuan blinked, seemingly not understanding what Ye Shu meant, and asked:

"They're talking about Xiaoxue's wedding, why should I be upset? I want to go and listen, is that okay?"

The logic seems sound, but something feels off...

Looking into her earnest eyes, Ye Shu couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he reached out and took her hand.

"Okay, I'll go listen to it too."

The two walked over hand in hand and sat down next to Shen Jingwan.

When Shen Jingwan saw that the two children hadn't run away today, she was first taken aback, and then a trace of pity appeared in her eyes.

She gently held Xiao Nuan's hand and coaxed her softly:

"Nuan Nuan, listen to Mommy, why don't you go out and play with Xiao Shu? Mommy and Daddy need to discuss something here."

"I know, let's discuss how to arrange Xiaoxue's wedding."

Xiao Nuan was straightforward and didn't seem unhappy at all, as everyone expected. Instead, she seemed quite at ease, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"It's okay, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the wedding, and then..."

As she said this, she turned to look at Ye Shu and said:

"I want Ye Shu to make me one exactly the same."

This line of thinking was beyond even Ye Shu's grasp, let alone Shen Jingwan's.

Xiao Nuan stared at Ye Shu and asked very seriously:

"Ye Shu, you promised me you'd give me the wedding I want, right?"

Ye Shu looked into her eyes, and seeing the unwavering trust in Xiao Nuan's gaze, how could he possibly refuse!

He nodded and promised:

"Yes, I will."
