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

Ye Shu's lucky cat is like a slightly unstable router; when she's in a good mood, the signal is strong and the power is high, making everything around her go smoothly.

Today was clearly a day with full signal. With the "big brother's protection" buff that Xia Qing gave me this morning, I was in a better mood and everything looked pleasing to the eye. As a result, the number of customers in the coffee shop also skyrocketed, like it had been injected with chicken blood, and there had been no shortage of customers since the shop opened in the morning.

The air conditioning in the shop was on full blast, making it warm and cozy. Customers coming in from outside felt very comfortable, but Ye Shu and Chen Xing were almost suffering from heatstroke, their backs were even a little damp.

The sounds of coffee machines, milk frothing, customers talking, scrolling through short videos, and wind chimes ringing as doors open and close... it was so lively, like a temple fair.

While the two were making drinks behind the counter, Chen Xing drew a slightly crooked leaf on the latte and smiled at Ye Shu:

"Xiao Ye... how about we turn down the power of the lucky cat? We're too busy."

Ye Shu was holding a stick and violently attacking the lemon slices and ice cubes in the cup.

He was really puzzled. He was making the "beaten lemon tea" that people drink in the summer, so why were more people ordering it after it started snowing outside?

All morning, he felt like his arms hadn't stopped moving, either shaking ice cubes or beating lemons; he was practically developing superhuman arms.

He gave a wry smile, his hands still pounding away:

"I want to too... I feel like my arm is almost not mine anymore."

There were an unusually large number of customers today; Ye Shu even suspected that some nearby company had come to buy goods.

We can't let Xia Qing come here so easily in the future. Xia Qing's buff is just like her personality—it's too powerful.

Chen Xing didn't leave work early today, which is unusual for her. Her legendary boyfriend, Ye Shusu's mysterious brother-in-law whom she has never met, didn't say anything when he saw how busy the store was when he came to pick her up. He just sat down in a corner by the door where it wouldn't get in the way and looked at his phone, without making any attempt to disturb her.

Ye Shu noticed him even when he was busy. Although it was the first time he had met him, he saw the car parked at the entrance almost every day.

While ordering, Ye Shu couldn't help but take a few more glances at this mysterious brother-in-law.

A typical white-collar worker's outfit: a light-colored shirt, a tie, and a dark coat draped over the back of the chair.

He's handsome... Ye Shu objectively assessed him in his mind... He really is handsome. Just like the handsome CEOs in TV dramas, he looks like a celebrity.

He wore glasses and looked quite refined.

As Ye Shu was stealing a glance, the other person happened to look up, met Ye Shu's gaze, gave a polite smile, nodded slightly, and then continued to look down at their phone.

It has a low profile, yet it's impossible to ignore.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but looking at the person in front of him, Ye Shu immediately had two very extreme guesses pop into his mind.

A: The man in front of me is an exceptionally rare, genuinely warm-hearted guy. He's emotionally stable, respectful of his partner, and supportive of their career.

B: The one in front of us is a deeply hidden, highly skilled, hypocritical beast. He's adept at disguise, his thoughts are unfathomable, and he's the kind of pervert who eats people with knives and forks.

Ye Shu cursed inwardly and decisively crossed out B, preferring the former.

After all, deep down, he still wanted Chen Xing to be happy. And if he were truly a pervert, how could Chen Xing possibly want to marry him?

Ye Shu, Ye Shu, can't you wish people well? Can't you be a little more positive?

We were busy until 8:30 p.m. before we saw off the last group of guests.

As soon as the "Closed" sign was hung up, Ye Shu and Chen Xing slumped into their chairs, feeling as if their bodies were melting away, just like the water sprite from that morning...

Ye Shu especially felt that her right arm, from shoulder to wrist, was sore all over, and she could clearly feel the muscles were tense, and her whole arm was trembling uncontrollably.

He swung his arms and chuckled to himself, thinking, "This works out well; I'm getting paid to work out."

Chen Xing's boyfriend, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, put his phone in his pocket, walked over to Chen Xing, reached out and untied the apron from her waist, then tied it around his own waist.

Then, he went to the back room as if he knew the way well, took out a bucket and mop, and began to mop the floor and clean without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shu couldn't sit still any longer.

Just kidding, isn't she the boss's wife? That's not wrong, Chen Xing is her own boss, so isn't her fiancé her boss's wife, or rather, her boss's husband?

He quickly stood up from his chair, swinging his arms:

"Brother...brother-in-law? Let me do it..."

He had just stood up when Chen Xing, who was sprawled out next to him, grabbed his sleeve, pointed with his chin at the chair under Ye Shu's buttocks, and said in a weak voice:

"Take a break, you're exhausted today. Let him do the work; he sits in the office all day, that's his exercise."

Ye Shu was pulled back down to sit by Chen Xing, and now he felt that the chair was a bit too rough on his butt.

He wants the landlady to mop and clean while he, the employee, sits and rests? This doesn't align with the "being observant" education he received from childhood.

Chen Xing noticed he was a little uncomfortable, so she raised one hand and, like waving a glow stick at a concert, lazily called out to her boyfriend who was mopping the floor:

"Keep going, darling! Xiaoye and I are here to give you our support! Keep going!"

After he shouted, his arm fell off.

Hearing the sound, her boyfriend turned around and couldn't help but laugh at Chen Xing's "I'm already a dead fish but I'm still feeding you" attitude. He didn't say anything, but just dragged her even more vigorously.

The mop gradually reached their feet, and Ye Shu, feeling the heat on her bottom, stood up again.

"Hey bro, really, I'll do it. I've recovered a bit from resting."

My brother-in-law stopped mopping, took a breath, adjusted his glasses, looked at Ye Shu, and smiled.

"No need. You've been busy all day, you must be more tired than me. You should take a break."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and patted Ye Shu on the shoulder.

Ye Shun could sense that his pat on the shoulder was not meant to show off; it was just a normal conversation like that between good buddies.

But in the instant he patted Ye Shu's shoulder, Ye Shu's eyes still caught a glimpse of his wrist peeking out from his shirt cuff, and the watch on his wrist.

Ye Shu seemed to see a small crown symbol.

When I chatted with Chen Xing before, she rarely mentioned her boyfriend's income, only saying that it was okay.

Looking at it now, that was alright? This is really great.

However, Ye Shu immediately felt that her observation was somewhat unnecessary. Whether someone is rich or poor has nothing to do with her; it's their business.

The fact that he's so wealthy and can so naturally help his girlfriend clean the house shows that their relationship is exceptionally good, which is better than anything else.

Ye Shu had already naturally put himself in the shoes of his wife's family, and he smiled at his brother-in-law.

"Thanks, brother."

This chair feels a bit more comfortable to sit in this time.

In the café, only the sound of mopping the floor, the familiar soft music, and Chen Xing's gradually slowing breathing remained.

She seems to be... asleep.
