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

"Xiao Nuan, listen to me... I'm going to talk to you about something today..."

Ye Shu was humming and moaning, his entire upper body leaning on Qin Lili's shoulder, his legs like two ropes, unable to exert any strength on his own, and he even tripped over his own feet.

Qin Lili supported him, dragging him towards the bedroom while cursing under her breath.

This thing looks pretty thin, but it's incredibly heavy when I try to lift it.

Xiao Nuan followed behind. Although her ankle twisted slightly and didn't even swell, it didn't hinder her walking.

But if she were to carry a person weighing over 100 pounds onto the bed, that would definitely not work. If she forced herself on him, her ankle would probably be swollen like a steamed bun by tomorrow.

It was thanks to Qin Lili's constant activity outside that she was strong; otherwise, Xiao Nuan wouldn't have had a good way to get Ye Shu back by herself.

However, on the other hand, if Qin Lili hadn't started it, Ye Shu wouldn't have gotten this drunk, so Qin Lili also bears some responsibility.

After finally managing to drag Ye Shu to the bedside, Qin Lili threw Ye Shu onto the bed like a bag of cement.

Ye Shu cooperated, even finding a pillow as soon as she got into bed, but her eyes were tightly closed, and she was still tightly holding Qin Lili's hand, muttering something under her breath:

"Xiao Nuan is so good... Xiao Nuan is so wonderful... They have no idea how wonderful you are..."

Qin Lili stood by the window, her fingers aching from Ye Shu's grip, yet unable to break free. She could only helplessly say:

"Yes, yes, yes, your wife is the best, the whole world is the best to save your wife, can you let go first? My fingers are about to break."

"Don't loosen it... Xiao Nuan..."

At this moment, Xiao Nuan walked to the window, glanced at Qin Lili's hand which was being tightly gripped by Ye Shu without saying a word, then reached out and pulled Qin Lili's hand out of Ye Shu's hand like pulling a radish, and then put her own hand into Ye Shu's hand.

Ye Shu immediately became obedient, gripping that hand and even touching the fingers a couple of times.

Yes, that's the feel.

Only then did he grin contentedly, stop babbling, and seem to fall asleep immediately.

Qin Lili was clenching her fingers, which were now red from gripping them so tightly.

She glanced at the two people on the bed and nodded:

"Alright, you guys are awesome. I'm going back now. You two can stay here and be lovey-dovey."

"Um."

Xiao Nuan responded, her eyes never leaving Ye Shu's face.

Qin Lili turned and left the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

In the living room, Potato Chips lay in the doghouse, turned its head to look at Qin Lili, and wagged its tail.

Qin Lili walked to the doghouse, squatted down, and poked Potato Chip's forehead:

"Come on, let me take you out for a walk. Look how fat you've gotten, you're almost like a little piglet."

As she spoke, Qin Lili took the dog leash from the side, put it on Potato Chips, and then took Potato Chips downstairs to digest her food.

Walking the dog at midnight, that's quite something.

In the bedroom, Xiao Nuan sat on the edge of the bed, not lying down, but sitting sideways.

Ye Shu didn't know if he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep. No one touched him, and he just hummed and snuggled closer to Xiao Nuan from the pillow.

Xiao Nuan is currently wearing a very ordinary set of pajamas, beige in color, made of very soft fabric.

Ye Shu pressed his face against Xiao Nuan's thigh and rubbed against it before letting out a satisfied "Mmm" and then remaining still.

Xiao Nuan looked down at him, neither dodging nor pushing him away. One of her hands was still held in his palm, while his other hand was placed on Ye Shu's head and gently patted it.

Ye Shu was quite easy to manage after drinking too much. She didn't cry, make a fuss, or act crazy. She would lie down on the bed and sleep soundly as if someone had removed the battery.

It's possible that he didn't drink much this time; if he had drunk more, he would have felt unwell.

But even though she sleeps, she's still incredibly clingy.

Xiao Nuan sat on the edge of the bed with Ye Shu's head resting on her lap. She felt a little thirsty and wanted to get out of bed to pour herself a glass of water.

She had barely shifted slightly off the bed when the head that was pressed against her thigh followed her like a magnet.

Then you can see that Ye Shu's body has formed an S-shape, and it is lying flat with the body bent horizontally.

Seeing this, Xiao Nuan immediately got out of bed, thinking that if she hurryed up, Ye Shu would stop acting like this.

As soon as Ye Shuyi left Xiao Nuan, he closed his eyes and started sliding around on the bed, rubbing against her.

You know what, he slipped off pretty fast; he was almost falling off the bed.

Xiao Nuan quickly reached out, pressed his shoulder and pushed him back, then sat back down on the edge of the bed herself.

Ye Shu's face pressed against his again, rubbing against him comfortably for a couple of moments before becoming quiet again.

Xiao Nuan smiled slightly as she watched him being so clingy.

She gave up on getting out of bed, letting Ye Shu press against her lap, her hand still held by him.

It's quite inconvenient, though, since it's the middle of the night and I can't even leave to get a drink of water.

But Xiao Nuan still felt sweet inside.

What does this mean?

This shows that even when Ye Shu was out of her mind, her body's first reaction was still to follow her. This subconscious, unthinking dependence was more effective than Ye Shu telling Xiao Nuan "I love you" a thousand times when she was lucid.

……

Ever since Xiao Nuan could remember, she has been single-minded.

When you encounter trouble, solve it in the simplest way possible. It's that simple.

She doesn't understand social etiquette; in her logic, if there's a problem, then just solve it.

And when there are so many simple and direct methods right in front of us, why do we sometimes have to go through roundabout ways to solve the problem? Isn't that redundant?

Just like when she sees someone fall and scrape their knee, Xiao Nuan's first reaction is to disinfect it, put on a band-aid, and if it's serious, go to the hospital.

But everyone around her said that Xiao Nuan was being too cold-blooded. She should have asked, "Are you in pain?" or "Are you alright?" before dealing with the situation.

Xiao Nuan just couldn't understand. What's the point of asking if it hurts after all this time? It's all bruised and battered, of course it hurts! You could have taken this time to fix it, isn't this just a waste of time?

Because of her personality, she was often neglected by others when she was a child.

Let's not talk about friends yet, I didn't really have many friends to begin with.

But sometimes, even her relatives don't really like to talk to her.

Aside from her parents and grandfather, she had only met the other relatives a few times and never saw them again. She would only pretend to talk to them in front of her parents.

He turned his head and went about his business, ignoring her.

But Xiao Nuan didn't care.

She doesn't need anyone to pay attention to her anyway; such meaningless small talk would only waste her energy.

She still prefers to be alone, even if she does nothing, just sits on the edge of the bed looking out the window or staring at the ceiling, she doesn't feel there's anything wrong with that.

For her, quiet is the best state.
