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

After spending the night in the hospital, An Jianxing drove his daughter home early the next morning.

The doctor made it very clear yesterday that there's nothing seriously wrong and you can go home. If you still want to boost the hospital's KPIs, we won't stop you.

An Jianxing wasn't exactly rich and had nowhere to spend his money. He and Shen Jingwan quickly completed the discharge procedures, packed a few things—just a few clothes—and left this place that had come and gone in a hurry.

An Jianxing gripped the steering wheel, his eyes slightly swollen, as if someone had given him two cannonballs in his eyes.

Shen Jingwan sat in the passenger seat, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes closed as she rested.

Neither of them slept much last night. They took turns going into the ward several times in the middle of the night, wanting to relieve Ye Shu and let him rest.

An Suxue was already asleep, but her hand was still tightly gripping Ye Shu's. Whenever Ye Shu tried to pull away slightly, she would grip even tighter, and she would hum softly.

After trying a few times, Ye Shu gave up and could only sit in a chair and lean on the armrest of the hospital bed to make do for the night.

Right now, he's catching up on sleep in the back row.

Qin Lili, sitting by the other car door, seemed quite energetic. Although the cot was hard and narrow, she slept very well.

She was looking at the street scene outside the car window, her eyes occasionally drifting to An Suxue and Ye Shu beside her.

Ye Shu was fast asleep, his head tilted towards An Suxue. However, due to the height difference between him and An Suxue, and the fact that there was no space left with three people sitting in the back row, he couldn't reach An Suxue's shoulder at all. He could only tilt his head and rest it on the top of An Suxue's head.

Although it wasn't comfortable, Ye Shu was so tired that she was now snoring loudly.

An Suxue leaned closer to Ye Shu, trying to be a small pillow. She tilted her head slightly so that Ye Shu could rest his head more comfortably, while she wrapped her arms around Ye Shu's arm to make him lean more securely.

Qin Lili looked at their slightly strange sleeping posture for a while, then couldn't help but say to An Suxue beside her:

"Couldn't you just pry his head open and let him lean against the car door or the back of the seat? Leaning like that, he'll definitely have a stiff neck when he wakes up."

She pointed to the other side of Ye Shu's car window:

"Isn't it better to lean against this than for him to use your head as a fulcrum?"

Upon hearing this, An Suxue didn't move, but simply whispered:

"That won't do. If the car bumps, and you're near the door or seat back, you might hit your head and it would hurt a lot."

As she spoke, she reached up and gently pressed Ye Shu's head against her own to make sure he had a secure pillow.

Qin Lili's lips twitched. Women blinded by love are truly terrifying. She shook her head and turned her head to the car window, refusing to look at the two people reeking of love.

An Suxue maintained this posture, which was tiring for her neck but sweet in her heart, holding Ye Shu's phone in her hand.

Ye Shu had told them her phone password before, and she had also registered their fingerprints into it.

She opened WeChat and found the video she had watched countless times.

Unlike his own phone, Ye Shu's phone was buzzing with activity under this video.

[Xiao Tao]: Brother!!! Did you bully Sister-in-law Xiao Xue? But she's so cute even when she cries! 9999999! (Fireworks) (Fireworks)

[Han Yang]: What? My brother Ye beats his wife? He even made her cry! What a domestic abuser! (doge)

[Zhang Xiaoqiang] replied to Han Yang: Exactly, a man's hands are for conquering the world, not for beating his wife. Domestic abusers are really something else (doge).

[Wang Yu] replied to Zhang Xiaoqiang: Brother Ye, does your boyfriend have a best friend? He always asks you for things but never says thank you... Also, what a domestic abuser, really shameless (doge).

There were also some other names, but most of them revolved around the fact that Ye Shu, who had never posted on WeChat Moments in ages, had broken his rule, and wished the two of them a long and happy life together.

There were none of the malicious speculations she had anticipated; instead, there was mostly playful teasing and joking. Like what:

"bless!"

"The video will be played at the wedding later."

"I admit she's better looking than your boyfriend (50 cents)."

"How did this guy manage to find such a beautiful girlfriend?"

Looking at these comments, An Suxue's face flushed slightly, and the stone in her heart that Ye Shu had temporarily pressed down last night seemed to have dropped even further with these comments, and was slowly getting smaller.

As her tense heart gradually relaxed, she remembered what Ye Shu had said last night.

"You don't even know them, so why should you care what they think?"

"Let them think what they want, what business is it of ours?"

"Let's focus on making sure we live our own lives well first..."

At the time, I always thought it was fallacy, that Ye Shu was just trying to comfort herself with sophistry.

But now, looking at the messages from these strangers, she seems to understand a little.

The world isn't entirely as she imagined... At least, in Ye Shu's little world, it's lively and warm.

Ye Shu... I really can try not to always think of things in the worst possible way in the future?

Perhaps things aren't as terrible as they seem?

Others weren't that mean, were they?

The car slowly came to a stop, and the inertia of the brakes jolted Ye Shu awake. She instinctively let out a gasp, groggily sat up, feeling her neck and half her shoulder stiffen. She raised her hand to rub her neck and shook it back and forth, squinting as she looked out the window.

"arrive?"

An Suxue, who was next to her, also shook her head and hummed in agreement.

As it turns out, triangles are stable, but at the cost of both of their necks hurting.

Ye Shu then came to her senses and realized that it was the main gate of Yunduan Garden.

Qin Lili had already gotten out of the car and was standing by it, stretching her limbs. An Suxue gently nudged Ye Shu and whispered:

"Get off the bus."

The two got out of the car, but An Jianxing and Shen Jingwan remained inside, showing no intention of getting out.

The passenger window slowly rolled down, and Shen Jingwan turned to look at the three people outside. She did look quite tired, but besides exhaustion, there was a sense of relief and a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Her gaze lingered on her daughter and future son-in-law's clasped hands for a moment before she spoke gently:

"I didn't sleep well last night, you guys should go back and get some rest and catch up on your sleep. We're heading straight home too. Xiaoxue..."

She looked at her daughter's slightly tired but cheerful face, hesitated to speak, and then simply smiled and shook her head.

"It's okay, get some rest. Call your mom if you need anything. We're leaving now."

"Okay, goodbye Mom and Dad, drive carefully."

An Suxue nodded. Although she was a little puzzled by the unspoken part of her mother's sentence, she didn't think much of it.

An Jianxing lowered his head slightly in the driver's seat, glanced at his daughter, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and sped away.

The group watched the car drive away until it was out of sight before turning their attention away.

An Suxue looked up at Ye Shu beside her, blinked, and whispered:

"Mom...did you want to say something but didn't?"

Ye Shu was still performing emergency neck repair work when she heard this. She smiled but didn't answer directly. She simply said:

"I might have wanted to tell you to get some rest, but then I felt it was a bit unnecessary, so I decided not to say anything."

He actually understood what Shen Jingwan had discovered. He turned his gaze to Qin Lili, who was standing next to him with her arms crossed.

Qin Lili met his gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips. She raised an eyebrow at Ye Shu, as if to say, "You noticed that too?"

Ye Shu shook her head slightly, signaling her not to reveal the truth yet.

Qin Lili shrugged and remained silent. The three of them turned and walked towards Yunduan Garden.
