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

Ye Shu respected Xia Qing's choice, but... when he walked up to Xia Qing and looked at the wedding dress she was carrying, he still hesitated.

This...this can be called a wedding dress?

These are just a few strips of cloth.

Two wide straps connect a small piece of fabric. The back and sides are completely open, and only the front provides some coverage. What's the difference between wearing this and not wearing anything at all?

This is a semi-finished product, right? It must be a semi-finished product, right? It's not finished yet, is it?

Ye Shu looked at the few strips of cloth in Xia Qing's hand. They were so light that they could be blown about by the air conditioning in the store. They were just like the mop in his high school classroom. After being used for a long time, only a few bristles remained, and the school was reluctant to replace it.

What can this cover up if you wear it?

Ye Shu imagined it for a moment and then put the mop on Xia Qing...

Oh no, this won't do!!!

"No! No, no, no, Sister Xia Qing, no, no!!!"

Ye Shu launched into a barrage of "no"s as soon as he opened his mouth, speaking at a speed like he was rapping. He himself didn't know what to say anymore, but the main point was just one thing: no.

Xia Qing held up the strips of cloth, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Shu, even measuring them in front of her, the corners of her mouth already starting to turn up.

This made Ye Shu even more anxious:

"What... what's the point of wearing this? What's the difference between this and not wearing anything? Isn't it illegal to wear this?"

Ye Shu respected Xia Qing's choice; he truly respected it.

But... he really couldn't bring himself to let Xia Qing go out wearing this pile of strips of cloth!

He was just vehemently criticizing parents who make decisions for their children in the car, but now the dragon-slaying hero has become the dragon himself.

Although something seemed off, Ye Shu couldn't care less about that now; it just wouldn't work!

He's always felt uneasy whenever Xia Qing shows her belly button, shoulders, or long, white legs, and now she's just wearing a mop?

Absolutely not!!!

While Ye Shu was still struggling, Xia Qing burst out laughing. She laughed loudly and slapped Ye Shu's arm.

"Just kidding, I knew you'd react like this, hahaha..."

The saleswoman next to me had been smiling with her lips pursed since earlier, but now she couldn't help herself anymore and turned around to pretend to organize the wedding dresses on the rack.

"This is the one I picked out, take a look."

Xia Qing picked up a fitted wedding dress from the side, which looked much more normal than the mop.

Thank goodness it was just teasing me, Ye Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he saw Xia Qing hang those strips of cloth back up, he couldn't help but take another look, and that image popped into his mind again.

It was really exciting!

Ye Shu and Xia Qing are picking out wedding dresses here, while Qin Lili is sitting on the sofa outside with her legs crossed, fiddling with her phone.

As she was scrolling, she suddenly heard someone call her name.

"distinctly?"

distinctly?

Why did I call him so intimately? And he's a guy.

Qin Lili looked up and saw a well-dressed man coming down from upstairs. He was dressed in a sharp suit, had a handsome appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked like a businessman.

The hairstyle was a bit awkward; it looked like a dollop of toothpaste squeezed onto a toothbrush while brushing your teeth, with a twist and a point.

Qin Lili had no recollection of this face, but out of politeness, she put her legs down, stood up, and glanced at the newcomer:

"Have we met before?"

The man was a little embarrassed when Qin Lili didn't recognize him, but he hid it well and still had that business smile on his face.

"Ah, you might not remember, but we met two years ago during that hiking trip."

Qin Lili looked at the lump of toothpaste in front of her and thought about it very seriously.

The year before last... I went hiking...

She did participate in a hiking event two years ago, but there were quite a few people there, dozens of them. Apart from her few friends, she really didn't remember much else.

Moreover, it seemed to be raining that day, and everyone was wearing raincoats or hats. The road was difficult to walk on, so who had the mind to remember people's faces?

"Sorry, I really don't remember."

When the man saw that Qin Lili still couldn't remember, his businesslike smile faltered, but he didn't give up and changed his strategy:

"It's okay, we were probably just too tired at the time. Let me give you a heads-up, He..."

what?

Qin Lili's eyebrows furrowed immediately upon hearing his words.

No, we've already come this far, what's your answer?

I've made myself perfectly clear: I've forgotten, I have no recollection of it, not at all.

Either tell me your name directly, or leave. What are you trying to figure out by staying here?

And you're even "giving me a heads-up"? What heads-up? What does your name have to do with me? Why should I need you to give me a reminder?

To be honest, Qin Lili is starting to get a little impatient.

That's just her personality; if you treat her politely, she'll treat you politely too.

But once she starts to find this person annoying, and this person has no sense of propriety, she basically won't give them a friendly look.

She's not the kind of person who would put up with something and play along with your act of "Oh, it's you! Long time no see."

"I'm sorry, I really don't remember. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Lili's words were quite impulsive.

Ye Shu, who was picking out a wedding dress nearby, had sharp ears and heard the noise. She turned around and saw Qin Lili talking to a man in a suit.

Qin Lili's expression looked a bit off, and the guy opposite her had a hairstyle that looked like a clump of toothpaste.

He patted Xia Qing's arm and asked softly:

"Xia Qing, look who's that person next to Li Li? Something seems off about the atmosphere there."

Xia Qing turned her head and glanced at it upon hearing this.

Qin Lili stood there, arms crossed, head slightly raised, with a look that said, "Who are you?"

Xia Qing shook her head:

"I don't know him/her, I've never seen him/her before."

"That's our store manager."

The shop assistant next to me whispered something.

Store manager?

Ye Shu turned her head and glanced at the toothpaste man again. Indeed, he was dressed like an insurance salesman, and he really looked like a manager.

How does Sister Lili know so many people? She really has friends all over the world!
