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

What awful weather, what a awful place!

Summer in the southern part of the city is truly unbearable. Even at 8 p.m., the wind still feels sticky and doesn't cool you down at all.

Xiaoxue clung to Ye Shu's arm, her face pressed tightly against his biceps. This position was already awkward, and with both of them sweating, it was quite uncomfortable to be pressed together like this.

But she would rather be unbearably hot than relax even a little.

Although she has indeed improved a lot from training in the store, and can now go out without any protective measures, the main condition is that she must hold Ye Shu in her arms; holding hands is not allowed.

The two reopened their shop today and decided to move back to Yunduanyuan to live. After all, Anjia Villa is quite far from here, and it's not cost-effective to take a taxi back and forth every day.

The potato chips were brought back by the two of them in the morning. As for his father... he can stay at Uncle An's house. Anyway, he won't go hungry. Uncle An is also happy to have someone to drink with him.

Moreover, the elders had mentioned in a previous conversation that they would let my father go back after I had my wedding.

Speaking of weddings, Ye Shu thought about opening the shop again. After getting married, wouldn't he have to close the shop for a while? He would have to let Chen San San know in advance. But after watching for so long, it seems that Chen San San doesn't care much about the salary.

Just as Ye Shu was pondering this, he felt his arm being shaken, and Xiao Xue's weak voice came through:

"Ye Shu...I want to eat that..."

Ye Shu turned her head and saw a small stall selling grilled squid right next to her.

Ye Shu laughed as soon as she saw it; it was because Chen San San had been munching on that bag of dried fish earlier, which had made her crave it.

The two walked up to the stall, where the owner was a bald middle-aged man with an oily glove on his right hand. He was banging an iron plate with a shovel, and the smell was really delicious.

"Handsome guy/beautiful lady, what would you like to eat?"

This uncle speaks in a deep, muffled voice.

Ye Shu had just opened his mouth when he suddenly stopped. He shook his arm and looked down at Xiaoxue, saying:

"You tell me yourself."

Xiaoxue looked up at Ye Shu with a startled expression, her eyes conveying, "Why are you like this?!"

But when she turned her head, she saw the boss looking at her with a shovel, waiting for her to speak. Xiaoxue immediately panicked, grabbed Ye Shu's arm, and shook it pitifully.

But Ye Shu just smiled and looked at her, showing no intention of saying anything.

Xiaoxue glared at him for a long time, but seeing that he wouldn't listen, and hearing the boss cough as if he was getting impatient, she had no choice but to tremblingly reach out her hand, point to the squid in front of her, and whisper:

"I want two...three of these, and I want them with chili..."

"Okay."

Compared to Xiaoxue's speed, the boss was practically the Flash. He responded, picked up three large squid, and slammed them onto the hot plate. He pressed the squid down with a spatula, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma immediately filled the air.

Ye Shu turned to look at Xiao Xue and smiled:

"See, it's such a simple thing, there's nothing to be afraid of. From now on, if you want to buy something delicious, you'll have to tell me yourself."

Xiaoxue didn't look at him, but instead hugged his arm and turned her head to the side.

"Oh, are you angry?"

Ye Shu shook his arm, but Xiao Xue still stubbornly turned her head away, refusing to look at him or pay him any attention.

Ye Shu wasn't in a hurry. After waiting a few more minutes, the middle-aged man put the squid in a bag. Ye Shu scanned the money, took the plastic bag, and turned to walk towards Yunduanyuan.

Xiaoxue remained in that awkward position, clinging to his arm, but her face was turned to the side as she followed him back.

Ye Shu carried the bag of squid and deliberately waved it in front of her so she could smell the aroma:

"Xiaoxue, are you really angry? You're ignoring me? Then I'll just eat this giant squid myself. Hey, this giant squid, I can skip dinner after I finish it."

"Don't!"

The person who had been tense just moments before suddenly turned around upon hearing this, staring intently at the plastic bag in Ye Shu's hand.

She seemed to genuinely believe Ye Shu's words, believing that he would finish eating it all himself; her expression was both cowardly and pitiful.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Ye Shu handed the plastic bag to her:

"Why are you still guarding your food? Here, take it, carry it yourself."

Xiaoxue reached out and took the plastic bag, secretly sniffed it, swallowed hard, and then whispered to Ye Shu:

"I can give you one later... I'll eat two..."

Ye Shu laughed as soon as she heard this, deliberately teasing her:

"You're not angry anymore?"

Xiaoxue's face turned even redder, and she hugged Ye Shu's arm and whispered:

"If you say that again... I won't give you any."

The two walked back to Yunduanyuan arm in arm, and when the elevator doors opened, they were both dumbfounded.

Is this still my own home? The doorway was blocked by seven or eight large cardboard boxes, almost blocking the security door as well.

Ye Shu turned her head and glanced at the floor above the elevator; it was indeed her home.

"What is this thing?"

Ye Shu walked up to a box, glanced at the information on it, and found that the sender was Qin Lili.

"What are all these things that Qin Lili sent?"

He turned to look at Xiaoxue and found that she was also shaking her head at him with a blank expression.

There's no other way but to move them; we can't just pile them all up at the entrance.

Ye Shu opened the door and began carrying boxes into the house one by one.

"What are these things... They're so heavy..."

Ye Shu dragged the last box into the living room, then plopped down on the sofa, panting.

He stared at the several boxes, took out his phone, found Qin Lili's WeChat, and made a call directly; he didn't have the energy to type.

Before I could even finish the first line of the song, the call was answered, but it was very noisy on the other end, with the wind howling and people talking.

Qin Lili shouted into the phone:

"Hey! Ye Shu?! What's wrong?!"

The sound was deafening. Ye Shu moved the phone away, turned on speakerphone, and placed it on the coffee table.

"Sister Lili, I saw you sent a bunch of things, so I wanted to ask what they are?"

"Huh? We've arrived?!"

Qin Lili was still shouting at the top of her lungs, with a background noise that sounded like some kind of machine whirring.

"I just saw you two getting your marriage certificate! You're getting married soon, so I bought you some nice clothes and things you'll need in the future, plus some local specialties from abroad. Just take these and eat them! Hey! Hurry up, run away!"

What?! She ran away?! What is she doing over there?!

Ye Shu and Xiao Xue were completely bewildered by the commotion over there.

Then Qin Lili shouted again:

"Hey, didn't I already message Xiaoxue today to tell her? Why are you asking me again? You two aren't together yet?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shu turned to look at Xiao Xue, who was squatting on the ground studying the express delivery slip.

Xiaoxue realized what was happening and quickly took out her phone, turned on the screen, and sure enough, Qin Lili had sent a series of messages in the afternoon, along with a text message saying that the package had arrived.

However, because she was busy opening the store today, she didn't check her phone at all.

Ye Shu shouted into the phone:

"Oh, it's nothing. Xiaoxue was busy today and didn't check her phone. She just saw it now."

"Okay, sure! Let me know when you're getting married, I'll hang up now, I'm crying wolf..."

After Qin Lili finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Ye Shu looked at her phone, then turned to stare at Xiao Xue.

After a while, Ye Shu asked, looking completely bewildered:

"Did you hear that? Did she just say 'The boy who cried wolf,' or 'The wave that came'?"

Xiaoxue also looked bewildered and shook her head:

"Hmm...it seems to be a wolf?"

Holy crap, Lili, what on earth did you go abroad to do?!
