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

My head hurts, my neck hurts, my back hurts, my legs hurt, and my stomach feels churning... Basically, not a single part of my body is okay.

Moreover, why does it look like it's upside down?

He groggily opened his eyes and saw a floor-colored ceiling and a chair stuck to the ceiling...

Well, he really was upside down, his head hanging off the edge of the bed, his face facing the floor. Only now did he realize what was happening, and he felt his head buzzing with blood rushing to his head.

Am I cosplaying as a bat? Did I hang by my bed and sleep there all night?

"hiss……"

He gritted his teeth, braced himself on the mattress with one hand and supported his neck with the other, slowly moving his head back from the edge of the bed and placing it back on the pillow.

With that effort, Ye Shu heard a cracking sound on his neck, followed by a sharp pain, like being pricked with a needle, that brought tears to his eyes.

Lying upright, he was still a little scared as he gasped for breath. Had that fall just now caused him to become a paraplegic?

I moved my arms and legs, and thankfully, I could move them.

After a while, he began to look around. He was alone on the bed, the blanket was piled up in a ball to one side, one pillow was missing, and there seemed to be some kind of smell, which wasn't very pleasant.

Moreover, he was all alone.

Ye Shu admitted that he did feel a sense of emptiness. He was not used to not seeing them when he opened his eyes. It felt like when he was a child and opened his eyes to find that the adults were not around. He felt very wronged and helpless.

But he can't cry like he did when he was a child if he woke up and couldn't see anyone. He reminisced for a moment.

Last night, Qin Lili and I were eating barbecue and drinking beer. After we finished the beer, we mixed in some baijiu (Chinese liquor), and then... my brain just went completely blank, without even a shutdown animation.

"Damn... I can't drink like this anymore, it's too much of a torment..."

He's now basically got a full package of headaches, nausea, blackouts, and hangovers, plus a bonus of cervical spondylosis.

He reached for his phone on the bedside table and glanced at it. It was 10:26. He had slept until almost noon.

No wonder its neck looked like it was broken; it probably felt unwell in the middle of the night and slipped off the bed, then hung there all night.

He closed his eyes, wanting to doze off for a while longer to recover.

When his mind went blank, he seemed to see a hazy, indistinct image.

No, no, no, Ye Shu laughed at herself with her eyes closed.

This must be a dream, Xiao Nuan? Smiling at me? And smiling so gently?

Xiao Nuan is supposed to be a girl with no personality, no emotional attachments, and no material possessions, so how could she possibly smile at me like that? It would be more like it was Sister Zhi Qiu, not Xiao Nuan.

It seems I really can't drink this wine like this anymore; it's causing me to hallucinate.

Ye Shu lay on the bed for a while, his head still buzzing. He felt as if his brain was submerged in water and swaying whenever he moved.

My stomach isn't churning as much anymore, but I'm still a little hungry.

And most importantly, where are the people?

He'd been listening intently for ages, but there wasn't a sound outside the bedroom door; it was completely quiet.

Perhaps there was still alcohol residue in his system, plus he had just woken up from a blackout, which made it difficult for him to control his emotions. His nose tingled, and his eyes even felt a little hot.

Holy crap, is it really that bad? A hangover can make you feel this miserable?

He lay there feeling stifled in bed for a while, then the bedroom door opened.

Ye Shu quickly looked over and immediately ruled out Xiao Nuan and Xiao Xue from the stylist's list.

She wore loose loungewear with the sleeves rolled up to her arms, her hair was tied in a bun, and she wore a pink headband with a Hello Kitty design on top of her head.

Ye Shu was still hesitating about who this was when she saw her enter the room and, upon seeing that Ye Shu was awake, her first reaction was to glare at Ye Shu fiercely.

Sister Xia Qing!

Ye Shu recognized her; only Xia Qing could glare at him like that!

Hmm? Something doesn't quite feel right about what I'm saying.

"Sister Xia Qing..."

Ye Shu let out a pitiful cry, looking miserable and wanting some comfort.

"Don't talk to me!"

Xia Qing angrily picked up the mop and walked over to Ye Shu, then bent down and scrubbed the floor with all her might.

You could see the beads of sweat on Ye Shu's forehead as she lay there; she was really putting in a lot of effort.

His mind was still a mess, and Xia Qing's sudden fierceness only made him more confused. With a hangover and feeling wronged, plus this fierceness, Ye Shu looked like a pitiful little thing.

But Xia Qing wasn't buying it. She stood up, leaning on the mop, and complained to Ye Shu:

"How dare you ask! You think you're so great, drinking it all?! You can't just force yourself to drink it if you don't have the ability! You'd drink it just because someone tells you to? You'd drink poison if they gave it to you! I really don't know what to say to you!"

Actually, these words... Ye Shu felt like he was experiencing the feeling of being scolded by his mother when he was a child?

After saying this, Xia Qing lowered her head and continued scrubbing the floor vigorously with the mop, grumbling as she did so:

"This morning, I was sleeping when I heard you whimpering next to me. I asked you what was wrong, but you wouldn't say anything, just kept whimpering. I was wondering why you weren't opening your mouth, and then you opened it and spat all over my pillow! Luckily, I reacted quickly and pushed your head off the bed, so it didn't get on the sheets, otherwise I would have had to take the duvet cover off and wash it today!"

Ye Shu lay there listening to Xia Qing scolding him, and after about five or six seconds of processing, he understood.

No wonder one of my pillows is missing, no wonder I was cosplaying as a bat by my bed, and no wonder I always smell a sour smell.

Ye Shu was so embarrassed. As a grown man from the North, he had never been able to drink with a woman before, let alone been forced to vomit, and even vomited on the bed.

What a waste of his size! How embarrassing!

However, on the other hand, Xia Qing, who never does housework, mopped the floor and changed pillows for him today, which moved Ye Shu very much.

"Sister Xia Qing... um..."

"Shut up! Don't talk to me, just seeing you makes me angry."

Xia Qing was furious. When she was drinking with Ye Shu, even though she hadn't had enough, she never let him get so drunk. This morning, Ye Shu was lying on the edge of the bed looking like a baby, which made her feel sorry for him.

Seeing that Xia Qing was still angry, Ye Shu had just calmed down a bit. Moreover, Xia Qing's scolding was so similar to his own mother's scolding, which made him feel a sense of awe towards Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was mopping the floor when she reached the foot of the bed. She looked up and saw Ye Shu lying on the bed, blinking at her.

That expression—wronged, innocent, and pitiful.

Xia Qing couldn't hold back her laughter; it was the kind of laugh that comes from being angry but then being amused.

She straightened up, leaning on the mop, quickly pursed her lips, her eyes still fierce, but with a hint of helplessness:

"Would you like to drink it again next time?"

"I'm not drinking anymore."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Xia Qing said to him:

"Go brush your teeth and wash your face, you're filthy."

Ye Shu responded and got out of bed to wash up, but her legs were still a little weak, and she walked unsteadily.

"And next time you drink like this, you'd better just go to sleep hugging the toilet."

Xia Qing added a sentence afterward, and Ye Shu turned around and grinned.

Ye Shu walked towards the bathroom outside the bedroom, repeatedly reflecting on the interaction between the two of them.

Xia Qing's words just now were fierce, but why did they sound a bit like those of an old married couple?

It's that kind of situation where you cause trouble, I scold you, you back down, and although I'm still verbally reprimanding you, my anger has already subsided.

Although Ye Shu doesn't have any strange XP, I have to say, why is it that he feels a little happy even when his wife scolds him?

He staggered to the bathroom door, opened it, and then froze.

Qin Lili was sitting on a small stool in the bathroom, wearing rubber gloves, and vigorously scrubbing a pillowcase in a basin.

Hearing the door open, Qin Lili didn't even look up, and continued rubbing her hands while shouting:

"Xiao Qing, I was wrong. I've really washed it clean. Look..."

As she spoke, she picked up the pillowcase and then saw Ye Shu at the door.

The two stared at each other for a couple of seconds, then Qin Lili clicked her tongue, continued rubbing the pillowcase with a wronged expression, and muttered:

"If I ever make you drink again, I'll be a dog."
