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

When Ye Shu saw Xiao Nuan, he could hardly believe it.

"Xiao Nuan?"

The girl didn't make any extra movements upon hearing the sound; a faint tuft of milk hair still clung to her lips from drinking milk.

"Yes, it's me."

Ye Shu walked a few steps to Xiao Nuan, but she still couldn't quite believe it. Why would Xiao Nuan suddenly appear in the store?

He reached out and subconsciously pinched Xiao Nuan's face, pulling it outwards slightly.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Xiao Nuan's face was being pinched, but her expression didn't change much, and she didn't resist. She just blinked and looked at him.

Chen Xing, who had been secretly observing from behind the curtain, finally couldn't contain his curiosity and slowly walked over.

She glanced at Ye Shu, then at the girl who gave her the creeps:

"Xiao Ye, you...know each other?"

Ye Shu then released his grip, and Xiao Nuan raised her hand to rub her face. Although she didn't show any expression, it seemed that Ye Shu had pinched her hard.

"Sister Chen Xing, this is... my girlfriend, Xiao Nuan."

He initially wanted to say, "This is my friend," but then he thought, "A girlfriend is a girlfriend, why hide it?" So he introduced her openly.

Sitting on the high stool, Xiao Nuan blinked when she heard Ye Shu introduce herself like that. Then she put down her milk cup, and as if to prove the truth of Ye Shu's words, she reached out and took Ye Shu's hand, raised it up and waved it at Chen Xing, as if to say, "Look, we're holding hands, we must be boyfriend and girlfriend."

Chen Xing's eyes lit up immediately. After learning that this girl was Ye Shu's girlfriend, she wasn't scared anymore. Nothing could stop her gossipy soul, and she immediately moved closer:

"Girlfriend? Hey! This is the... roommate you were talking about before? Right? I knew it a long time ago! You wouldn't admit it when I asked you!"

Ye Shu felt a little embarrassed by what was said, squeezed Xiao Nuan's soft hand, and smiled:

"Back then...it wasn't like that, but it is now."

"Xiao Nuan, right? That's a cute name, and you're pretty too!"

Chen Xing smiled as he looked Xiao Nuan up and down. Although the girl had few expressions, upon closer inspection, her features were truly exquisite. Coupled with her cool and aloof temperament, she really had the air of a high-class, aloof older sister.

Little did she know, Xiao Nuan wasn't being aloof; she was simply straightforward...

Xiao Nuan turned to look at Chen Xing after hearing his words, and said earnestly:

No, I'm not as pretty as you.

Although he knew it was just a polite compliment, Chen Xing still felt secretly pleased to be praised for his beauty by such a pretty girl, and his smile widened even more.

"Xiao Nuan is so good at talking, she really knows how to make people happy."

I wasn't trying to comfort you.

Xiao Nuan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was cold:

"Based on your facial contours and the proportions of your features, your facial features are closer to the standard three-section and five-eye proportions. The distance between your eyebrows and eyes, and the ratio of the width of your nose wings to the distance between your eyes are also more harmonious, conforming to the general aesthetic definition of 'beautiful'..."

"Okay, stop!"

Ye Shu quickly covered Xiao Nuan's mouth, preventing her from saying the second half of her impressive academic report.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Nuan's mouth was suddenly covered, but she didn't struggle and just sat there quietly. Because of Ye Shu's hand, she tilted her head up slightly, her eyes looking at Ye Shu quietly, as if she didn't understand why he covered her mouth.

But she believed that Ye Shu must have his reasons for doing so, so she did not take any further action.

While covering Xiao Nuan's mouth, Ye Shu changed the subject and casually pulled out a tissue to wipe Xiao Nuan's mouth:

"Look at you, you don't even wipe your mouth after drinking milk. Come on, don't move, let me wipe it for you."

Xiao Nuan didn't move at all, keeping her face tilted back, and only spoke after he finished wiping:

"I haven't finished drinking yet."

As she spoke, she pointed to the half-finished cup of hot milk on the counter.

Of course I know you didn't finish your drink...

Ye Shu smiled helplessly, but given the situation just now, if she hadn't interrupted her, she was genuinely afraid that she would have said something like "based on the shape of the skull and the golden ratio"...

and many more!

Ye Shu suddenly realized, how could she have come up with such a long passage of words so easily?

He felt a wave of fear, but when he looked at Xiao Nuan's innocent expression, he couldn't get angry at all.

It seems that spending too much time together really does lead to being assimilated.

Chen Xing stood to the side, watching Ye Shu carefully wipe Xiao Nuan's mouth, and Xiao Nuan just quietly let him wipe it...

Sweet! So sweet! This is exactly what I've been wanting to see!!!

"Oh, this is wonderful! This is wonderful!"

Chen Xing suddenly said this, and then said it to Ye Shu:

"Xiao Ye, you two can chat here. Make whatever you want to drink, it's on me!"

She very tactfully turned around and walked behind the counter, but didn't go far. Instead, she chose a spot not too far from the two of them, where she could just hear what was going on. She picked up an unused glass and pretended to wipe it.

She wiped it so carefully, so meticulously that she heard even their breathing.

Ye Shu turned her head and looked at Xiao Nuan, who was sitting on a high stool, sipping the rest of her milk, and asked:

"Xiao Nuan, what brings you here all of a sudden? Is...is something the matter?"

Xiao Nuan put down her cup, a little milk stain remaining on her lips. She looked at Ye Shu and gave the most direct answer:

"I've come to find you."

Ye Shu nodded; he had gotten used to the way he talked to Xiao Nuan.

This is a process of filtering from broad to specific. You can't ask a wide-ranging question and expect her to give the most specific answer. Instead, you need to peel an onion, guiding her to ask questions based on her answers, narrowing down the scope step by step until you find the answer.

"Hmm. So how did you find this place? Did you come from home?"

Xiao Nuan blinked quickly as usual. Ye Shu didn't make a sound; Xiao Nuan was thinking.

"I just came back from the train station. I saw Xiaotao off. After I got her into the station, I came to find you."

After answering that question, she paused, as if dealing with another issue, and then continued:

"I know you're at this store because the drink bags you used to take home after get off work had this store's name printed on them, so I followed the navigation here."

"ah......"

Ye Shu nodded. Xiao Tao had indeed sent a message saying she was on the train, but she didn't mention that Xiao Nuan was seeing her off. She probably felt there was no need to say it.

"Then why did you come to see me? Is there something you need?"

Xiao Nuan isn't the type to just drop by; everything she does is purposeful.

Xiao Nuan nodded and raised her left hand to Ye Shu, wearing the bracelet Ye Shu had bought at the amusement park yesterday.

He bought four in total: one for Xiao Nuan, one for Xia Qing, one for Zhi Qiu, and one for Xiao Xue.

Ye Shu looked at the little stars that were twinkling under the light and asked;

"Don't you like it?"

Xiao Nuan shook her head, lowered her arm, and said to Ye Shu:

"I really like the gift you gave me."

Ye Shu felt a warmth in her heart. Although Xiao Nuan's tone wasn't warm when she said those words, Ye Shu could feel her sincerity.

Before Ye Shu could say anything, Xiao Nuan continued:

"I'm here today to take care of something."

"What is it?"

Ye Shu looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Xiao Nuan didn't answer, she just stared at him for a few seconds, and then she moved.

She sat on a high stool, leaned forward slightly, stretched out her arms, hooked them around Ye Shu's neck, and pulled him down.

Ye Shu lowered his head slightly, and then a familiar feeling returned. He had experienced this feeling just last night, but it was different today.

This warmth carries a faint milky aroma.

It appeared without any warning or hesitation.

Behind the counter, Chen Xing nearly dropped his cup at the sight. Other customers chatting and drinking were also taken aback. Even customers who had just entered to order found themselves drawn in by the scene and casually found an empty seat to watch closely.

In an instant, everyone in the store had only one thought.

Good looking, love to watch.

The kiss didn't last long, only a few seconds.

Xiao Nuan stepped back, released her grip on Ye Shu's neck, and sat up straight again.

Her expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't been the one who kissed Ye Shu just now. She stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, and then said to Ye Shu, who seemed to have lost track of time:

"This matter."
