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

In the evening, in the living room of the An family villa, the TV was still on. Ye Shu sat on the sofa, gently stroking the little head of the potato chip plant lying next to him.

He counted, and it had been five days since they moved from Yunduanyuan. Once the shop was closed, all the profits from the past few days would be wasted.

Putting aside whether I make money or not, the main thing is that Chen Xing is paying the rent, so I feel a little sorry for her.

Although Sister Chen Xing had told him in a previous chat that he should stay home and plan the wedding properly after getting his marriage certificate, and not to rush into opening the shop.

But... he felt uneasy if he kept resting like this.

Moreover, he hasn't even had his fill of that wave of popularity yet, and although so many days have passed, the hype is probably almost gone by now.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Chen San San:

【San San, if you're free tomorrow, come to work. We'll be open as usual tomorrow.】

The other party replied almost instantly, and Chen San San immediately responded with a cat emoji raising its paw in salute, followed by the message:

[It should have opened a long time ago! Do you know how I've been these past few days?! I desperately need some candy from you and Sister Xiaoxue!]

Ye Shu was amused. This child was still so straightforward, with only the thought of "sweetness" on his mind.

He replied, "Okay, get some rest," and was about to put his phone down when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, followed by a completely emotionless voice:

"Who are you chatting with?"

Ye Shu was so startled that she almost put her phone into airplane mode.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Nuan standing behind the sofa. She had just finished showering, her hair was loose and dripping wet, wetting a small part of her pajamas. She was staring straight at him expressionlessly.

"Xiao Nuan, why did you walk so quietly? You scared me..."

Ye Shuyong patted his chest to catch his breath, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Nuan walk to the coffee table, pick up the notebook on it, and write something in it while muttering to herself:

"This is the first time, you have two more chances."

"Huh? Two chances?"

Ye Shu was stunned.

You had three chances to mispronounce my name, and you've already used your first one.

Xiao Nuan turned the notebook around to show him, and it did indeed have writing on it.

[Violation record: 22:17, Ye Shu called her "Xiao Nuan", one violation deducted, current number of violations: 2/3]

Ye Shu's right cheek twitched like Zhao Si's, and he tentatively asked:

"Then... what if, what if we run out of them after three uses?"

Xiao Nuan calmly closed the notebook, placed it on the coffee table, and said softly:

"I will use some forceful methods to make you remember what to call me, until it becomes a conditioned reflex."

She definitely saw something incredible!!! Absolutely!

Isn't this just the same trope from those yandere novels?!

Before Ye Shu could finish complaining, Xiao Nuan had already reached out and taken Ye Shu's phone, glancing at the screen.

Her phone still showed her chat with Chen San San. She put the phone on the coffee table, turned to look at Ye Shu, and said:

"Ye Shu, I have a strong possessive streak towards you. Based on objective facts, I can compromise and share your time with Xiao Xue, Xia Qing, and Zhi Qiu. But apart from that, no other individual may take up your private time. Do you understand?"

"I understand..."

Looking at her face, Ye Shu suddenly became timid and didn't dare to argue back. He could only obediently understand.

Seeing Ye Shu nod, Xiao Nuan turned and walked towards the bathroom:

"I need you to blow-dry my hair."

Ye Shu sighed, got up and followed behind her, thinking as he walked, "Is Xiao Nuan jealous? Is she jealous because she saw me chatting with Chen San San?"

But he really didn't have any improper thoughts about Chen San San, and he had to make it clear to Xiao Nuan.

"Xiao Nuan..."

He had barely uttered those two words when he saw Xiao Nuan suddenly turn her head to the side, her eyes fixed on him from the corner of her eye.

Ye Shu suddenly felt like he was hallucinating. Xiao Nuan's eyes were glowing red, like the robot in Terminator going berserk. Ye Shu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed his words:

"Baby... baby."

Xiao Nuan then turned her head back and continued walking forward.

"Look, we've already got our marriage certificate, don't you trust me? Chen San San and I were just letting her know about work tomorrow, why are you jealous?"

"I'm not jealous of him."

Xiao Nuan said casually as she walked:

"What I just did was to inform you based on your emotional weighting, to ensure you understand your own priority."

Ye Shu believed him, and he believed everything Xiao Nuan said; that girl would never lie.

After helping her blow-dry her hair, Ye Shu, afraid of making another slip of the tongue and causing trouble, washed up and climbed into bed to prepare for sleep.

Ye Shu couldn't sleep. Listening to Xiao Nuan's breathing as she slept soundly beside her, she felt terrible.

He really didn't want Xiao Nuan to become a yandere. Just thinking about the days when Xiao Nuan would be carrying around a notebook all day, recording the number of times she broke the rules...

He turned his head to look at Xiao Nuan beside him. She looked incredibly well-behaved as she slept, a far cry from her Terminator-like appearance.

Ye Shu wanted to know what Xiao Nuan had seen that caused her to become like this.

He called out twice in a low voice, trying to see if she was asleep:

"Baby...baby?"

There was no response, but Ye Shu was still a little worried, so she called out again:

"Xiao Nuan?"

This is the second time.

Xiao Nuan suddenly opened her eyes, startling Ye Shu.

She reached for the notebook on the bedside table and wrote another life for Ye Shu on it.

Ye Shu finally couldn't take it anymore. He sat up abruptly and looked at Xiao Nuan very seriously, saying:

"Tell me the truth, what exactly did you look at today?"

Seeing how serious Ye Shu was, Xiao Nuan sat up as well, took her phone from the side, tapped on it, and handed it to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu took the books and read them: "Only Love Your Obsessive Lover," "If Your Husband Doesn't Listen, Then Imprison Him," and "My Yandere Sister's Beloved Pet"...

The bookshelf is overflowing with novels, and there's a whole bunch of search history, including things like "the biological basis of possession," "how to conditioned your partner to use a specific nickname," and "case studies on the allocation of emotional weight in the coexistence of multiple consciousnesses"...

Is Xiao Nuan treating "how to be jealous" as a scientific research project?

So they really learned it from these things... Ye Shu was speechless.

Xiao Nuan has always been like a blank sheet of paper. She learns whatever others teach her, and her learning ability is frighteningly strong. She can learn anything very well.

Ye Shu handed the phone back and asked:

"Is this what you learned?"

"Yes, this is the content that best matches my current mental state."

Xiao Nuan answered calmly.

Sometimes Ye Shu really couldn't understand whether Xiao Nuan was smart or stupid.

You might say she's stupid, but her brain is like an encyclopedia; she knows everything.

She's smart, because she can use a novel as research material and then put it into practice.

Ye Shu sighed, reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone softening.

"Then let me ask you, do you believe those things, or do you believe me?"

"I trust you."

Xiao Nuan answered without hesitation.

"Alright, then I'll tell you, those things aren't what you should be learning. I'm telling you not to learn these things, are you willing?"

"Um."

Xiao Nuan nodded obediently.

Thankfully, Xiao Nuan is still the same Xiao Nuan, and hasn't been led astray by these messy things.

Ye Shu opened her arms and smiled at Xiao Nuan:

"Come."

Xiao Nuan blinked, then slowly moved closer to Ye Shu, snuggling into his arms, her arms around his waist, her face pressed against his chest.

Ye Shu also hugged her and slowly said:

"I understand what you're thinking. I can assure you that no matter what, my love for you will be just as much as for Xiaoxue, Xiaqing, and Zhiqiu. Besides, my heart is only so big; if it holds you all, there's no room for anyone else, okay?"

"Um."

Xiao Nuan nodded in response in his arms, then looked up at Ye Shu's chin and asked:

"And the baby?"

Seeing that she was still thinking about this, Ye Shu smiled and said:

"I'll call you that if you like. But I need to let you know that I'm calling you 'baby' not because you forced me to, nor because I'm afraid you'll reduce my margin for error. It's because I want to call you that, understand?"

"Um."

Xiao Nuan nodded again and lowered her head, but this time her face was slightly flushed.

"Ye Shu, I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

Ye Shu smiled, patted her on the back, and said:

"Go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."
