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

Han Yang's live-streaming business is getting better every day. Although he can't be said to be a hit, at least he can sell products.

He was sitting cross-legged on the floor of his living room, taking stock of a bunch of things he would need for the live stream.

Just then, the phone on the sofa rang. Han Yang picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from Ye Shu:

[Yang-ge, can you see me?]

Han Yang is a bit busy, which is inexplicable. Have you seen him? What does this mean?

He subconsciously looked up, glanced around his living room, and then looked at the door. The door was closed properly. Who came from?

"No? Where are you?"

The voice message was sent, and Ye Shu replied almost instantly:

I was looking at you, but you weren't looking at me?

Han Yang frowned slightly, looked around again, and even glanced under the sofa. No one was there.

"Really, no, where are you?"

Ye Shu got even more excited:

"Wait here, I'll take a picture of you."

Before Han Yang could ask any further questions, a photo was sent to him, and Han Yang opened the picture.

The picture shows a rather large and expensive dog staring at the camera through the glass with a pair of dull yet seemingly world-weary eyes.

Ye Shu then sent another message:

【Look outside the glass, Wang.】

"ha."

Han Yang was speechless and amused. He held his phone for a long time without saying a word, and could only chuckle to himself. Then he showed the phone the length of his middle finger, praised Ye Shu's immediate family, threw the phone on the sofa, and started packing things into the box.

"They must be so bored, going to the aquarium to play with turtles and then trying to make fun of me..."

But Han Yang's mind was filled with that turtle face that seemed to be mocking him; his mind had been corrupted.

In the aquarium's rest area, Ye Shu held his phone, grinning as he listened to Han Yang's impotent and furious voice, feeling as if he were listening to celestial music, his ears momentarily clear.

He's panicking! He's panicking!

Successfully being a jerk! This feeling of pleasure is even better than that of the disgusting demon pill from before.

Ye Shu was in a great mood. He leaned back on the bench in the rest area, crossed his legs, and watched the tourists coming and going. He felt that there were even more people than before.

Just as he was looking back and forth, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a corner not far away. His eyes lit up, and he picked up two drink cups next to him and walked over.

When he returned, Xiao Nuan was already sitting on the bench waiting for him.

Xiao Nuan sat quietly, her head slightly lowered, lost in thought.

Hearing that Ye Shu had returned, she looked up at him, first seeing his face, and then the cup in his hand.

The two cups in Ye Shu's hands were covered with two small plastic bags, which were printed with the aquarium's logo.

"Don't worry, it won't get lost. I got two bags, that way it'll be easier to carry and you won't have to hold it all the time."

Xiao Nuan nodded, reached out and took a cup, without saying anything else.

After resting for a while, the two got up and continued their aquarium tour.

Ye Shu held Xiao Nuan's hand with one hand and carried an empty cup with the other. Xiao Nuan was taking small sips of her unfinished drink.

They walked through a dreamlike coral tunnel, saw strangely shaped deep-sea fish, took photos in front of sharks, and studied the slow-moving starfish for a while.

As they walked, Xiao Nuan seemed to remember something. She looked at Ye Shu's hands, one holding hers and the other carrying an empty cup.

She glanced at the half-full glass of drink in her hand and gently tugged at Ye Shu's hand.

Ye Shu turned her head and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Nuan didn't say anything, but simply handed the cup with the pink straw in her hand to Ye Shu, pointing the straw at him:

"You can drink this."

Ye Shu looked at Xiao Nuan holding a half-full cup of drink, then noticed the pink straw, which was still a little damp. Xiao Nuan seemed to have a habit of biting straws; the tip of the straw was flattened from being bitten.

In that instant, Ye Shu felt his throat move inexplicably.

I think... I am a little thirsty.

He licked his lips, unsure whether he was thirsty in his mouth or in his heart, but... he really wanted to drink.

But when Ye Shu looked at Xiao Nuan's innocent face, he felt a vague sense of guilt, as if he were taking advantage of an ignorant girl.

Although... it doesn't seem like they're ignorant, it just feels like they're taking advantage of someone in distress.

No, it's taking advantage of someone's naiveté.

Two little figures started fighting in Ye Shu's mind.

Xiao Ye A:

"Ye Shu! You two are boyfriend and girlfriend! A legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend who's held hands and kissed! What's wrong with sharing a drink? What's wrong with using the same straw? What are you being so dramatic about! It's a scene that's been played out eight hundred times in idol dramas, and you're acting all coy about it? Don't you have any self-respect?!"

Xiao Ye B:

"But... Xiao Nuan... she probably didn't even think that much about it. Look at her eyes, so innocent. Are we... taking advantage of her ignorance?"

Xiao Ye A:

"What bad intentions could Xiao Nuan have? She just wanted to give you a drink! Would she care about that? She was only stunned for a moment when something was taken from her, would she care about a straw? Ye Shu, stop making a scene and hurry up, don't let this young girl's good intentions go to waste!"

It seems...to be true.

Ye Shu easily convinced herself.

She handed it to him because she genuinely wanted him to drink it; there were no ulterior motives. Thinking about it from here would only make her seem impure.

Ye Shu opened her mouth, put the straw in her mouth, and took a sip.

Both of them bought the blue sparkling water, but for some reason, maybe it was just psychological, Ye Shu felt that this one tasted sweeter than hers, and had more bubbles, making her tongue feel numb.

As you swallow, it feels cool and sweet all the way down your throat, the sweetness reaching your chest.

Ye Shu released the straw, straightened up, and wiped her mouth with her hand to hide her racing heart:

"Okay, I'm not drinking anymore, you drink it."

Xiao Nuan blinked, nodded, and then put the straw back in her mouth and began to drink in small sips.

Ye Shu felt a little annoyed watching Xiao Nuan sip her drink.

Xiao Nuan always has this habit of flirting and then running away without even realizing it, which can be quite torturous sometimes.

She's always like this, doing things in the most direct way, like holding hands, wiping sweat, or handing over a drink she just drank...

These actions may not have such complicated meanings, at least not for Xiao Nuan.

But unfortunately, things on Ye Shu's side are no longer so pure...

Is it really true that people with heart conditions see everything as dirty? Could it be... that I am truly dirty?

Ye Shu sighed, thinking that she was probably just deluding herself.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a faint sweet taste lingering on the back of his tongue.

What? Fanta has a lingering sweetness after drinking it?
