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

"Ah! I can't suppress the dark power within me anymore, Xiao Nuan, you have to go!"

Ye Shu clutched his left arm in agony, his face contorted in pain. Then, as if making a final farewell, he looked up at Xiao Nuan and said through gritted teeth:

"Xiao Nuan, before I turn evil, I need you to promise me one thing. If... if I become the Demon King, please kill me."

After that, the Undead Overture from Warcraft III started playing in the background.

Ye Shu looked deeply affectionate on one side, while Xiao Nuan remained expressionless on the other.

She reached out and grabbed Ye Shu's wrist, rinsed the mosquito bite under the tap with cool water, then lathered up some soap and applied it to the bite, saying softly as she did so:

"Chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) specifically refers to the psychological state of adolescents who have an excessive sense of self, fantasize about being special, and act and speak out of touch with reality. I thought you were past that age at eighteen, but everyone's psychological growth rate is different, it's okay, I can understand."

amount……

Ye Shu used her right hand to turn off the song playing on her phone.

He had only come up with the idea on a whim to liven things up, but Xiao Nuan's direct exposure of his intentions made him feel quite embarrassed.

The two came out of the bathroom and sat back on the sofa. Xiao Nuan picked up the notebook on the coffee table and began to write on it:

[Soap water supply increased to 500ml]

[Added an entry for "Psychological counseling during chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) episodes"]

The black notebook has been put back into use, but apart from Xiao Nuan, no one else uses it as a memo. Instead, it's used like a diary to record the daily trivialities of the two of them together.

Meanwhile, the wedding planning team across the street was still discussing their plans when An Jianxing handed Ye Guoqiang a cigarette.

"I think we should hold the wedding in the southern part of the city?"

After saying that, he took the fire and lit it for Ye Guoqiang, and quickly said:

"Brother, don't take it to heart. Let's stick to the facts. When your sister-in-law and I visited your area last time, we saw that the conditions there were indeed not as good as here. That's a fact, right?"

Ye Guoqiang took a puff of his cigarette, not rushing to express his opinion, but simply nodded.

He could understand that; after all, she was his daughter and family, and he always wanted to give her the best.

Moreover, before he came, he made a special phone call to Aunt Ye Shu and asked her to come back.

Firstly, it was to take care of the old lady while I was away, and secondly, it was to discuss this matter.

"That child only gets one chance in their life, so if you're going to do it, do it properly. Don't be stingy and make people look down on you."

Aunt Ye Shu brought over several washed apples, gave one to each person, and then continued:

"Besides, what's the situation with Xiao Shu's boyfriend's family? They might not even look down on this shabby place of ours. If we make the girl come all this way to suffer, wouldn't that just be making her feel bad?"

Aunt Ye Shu is a straightforward person; her words may be rough, but the truth is always right.

Ye Guoqiang took a drag of his cigarette, then exhaled the smoke through his nose before speaking:

"Before I came here, I thought about this at home, and we discussed it and agreed that it was better to do it here."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two children sitting in the audience opposite him and said:

"Kids these days have so many ideas, always taking photos and videos. Where I live, there are no mountains or rivers, so the kids really can't do much there."

Hearing Ye Guoqiang say this, Shen Jingwan's smile relaxed a little, and she said to Ye Guoqiang:

"Father-in-law, it's wonderful that you think that way. To be honest, we've been a bit worried these past few days. We've heard that there are some old customs in your area that require the wedding to be held at the groom's house. Lao An and I were afraid that you wouldn't agree, which would put us in a difficult position."

"What era are we living in? That kind of thing isn't fashionable anymore."

Ye Guoqiang chuckled, casually nodding towards Ye Shu with the hand holding his cigarette:

"These days, kids are all very independent-minded. How can we, as elders, possibly manage so much? Young people just do whatever makes them happy, regardless of rules or regulations. In the future, no one will care anymore; those things will be outdated. As long as the two kids are happy, they can get married wherever they want. We, as their parents, will just support them from behind."

Ye Shu sat opposite them, watching the three of them laugh heartily, feeling rather helpless inside.

No... although the discussion went quite smoothly, you could say they hit it off immediately.

But it's been three days and you're only now discussing where to hold the wedding?

So what were you guys discussing the other day? Was it that damn missile, or the inaction of the property management company?

Across from him, An Jianxing was beaming with joy, his eyes crinkling with happiness. He said to Ye Guoqiang:

"Brother, that's the right thing to say. Then it's settled. We'll cover all the expenses for the children's wedding."

"No, please. How can you pay for our children's weddings? Although our family is not as well-off as yours, we prepared the money for our children's weddings when Xiaoshu's mother was still alive."

As he spoke, he pulled a bank card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table:

"This is also what my husband and I think. We only have one child in our lives, so we should spend the money as it is. As long as the child is happy, that's more important than anything else."

Shen Jingwan glanced at An Jianxing, and An Jianxing didn't insist any further. Since things had already gone this far, refusing again would only create distance and make it seem like he was looking down on her.

Across from her, Ye Shu was tilting his head and looking at Xiao Nuan, who hadn't stopped writing since she sat down.

Ye Shu leaned over for a look and laughed. The notes were made like court transcripts.

It's all clearly written down who said what, in what tone, and when they said it. For example:

[At 9:31, the father (An Jianxing) said, "I hope the wedding will be held in Nancheng."]

At 9:32, Uncle Ye (Ye Guoqiang) said, "I agree to hold the wedding in Nancheng, respecting the couple's wishes."

[9:34, Dad (An Jianxing) said: "Our family will cover all the wedding expenses."]

At 9:35, Uncle Ye (Ye Guoqiang) said, "The two families will share the cost." (Note: He took out a bank card.)

Not only that, but some of the nooks and crannies also contain her personal analysis:

[Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of weddings in Nancheng: 1. Convenient transportation, increasing guest attendance by 42%. 2. Abundant wedding resources. 3. High temperatures, not very suitable for outdoor weddings...]

These details were analyzed meticulously, far more thoroughly than the discussions in the other discussion groups.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Nuan felt Ye Shu's gaze, looked up at him, and asked.

"Nothing much, it's just that you remember things in pretty detail."

Ye Shu raised his chin at the notebook in her hand.

Xiao Nuan put down her pen and said to Ye Shu:

"Since I've never been married, this information is valuable for reference. Every decision I make will affect the final quality of the wedding, so it needs to be fully documented. We also need to collect data on your and Xiaoxue's satisfaction with each part of the wedding to optimize the plan."

"what……"

Ye Shu suddenly felt like she was a child when the school organized a movie screening, which was supposed to be a happy occasion, but then she was forced to write an 800-word review after watching it.

Seeing that Ye Shu's expression was a little awkward, Xiao Nuan blinked, stared at Ye Shu for a while, and then suddenly spoke:

"Ye Shu, are you happy?"

"Huh? Happy...what?"

Ye Shu didn't understand what Xiao Nuan meant by being happy.

Xiao Nuan pointed to her notebook and said:

Are you happy about getting married?

"Happy? Of course I'm happy!"

Ye Shu gave a straightforward answer, but Xiao Nuan followed up with another question:

"So, who do you think would make you the happiest to marry?"
