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

【If you're a true brother, come and chop me up (4)】

Zhang Xiaoqiang: [Hey guys, big news! I'm coming to the South District today on some business. Anyone free tonight? How about we get together? Around 10 PM? @All Members]

Han Yang: What are you doing in Nancheng? I have to do a live stream during the day, wait until I finish my stream tonight.

Wang Yu: [Sure, I don't have much to do these days, but I live far away. I'll check the tickets in a bit; it'll be evening by the time I get to Nancheng.]

Zhang Xiaoqiang: [It's okay, let's do it tonight then. We can go straight home to sleep after we finish drinking. Hey, where's my pure love, War God Ye? @HumanLowConfiguration, make time for me! You have to come, and bring your girlfriend too!]

Wang Yu: [Yes, yes, bring your sister-in-law along too, so we can learn from her as well.]

Han Yang posted a facepalm emoji: "You'll regret this, really. His girlfriend, just looking at her makes me shudder."

Zhang Xiaoqiang [What do you mean? What happened? Did his girlfriend beat you up?]

Wang Yu [A story behind this? Let me elaborate!]

Zhang Xiaoqiang [@Human Low-budget Ye Shu, I curse you immortal, give me a straight answer, are you coming or not!]

Ye Shu is too busy to reply right now; he's currently struggling with this.

He certainly wanted to go to the party.

Not long after graduation, the brothers scattered to different places, making it difficult to get together.

But... bring family members...

Ye Shu looked down at An Suxue, who was still nestled in his arms.

From this angle, An Suxue's fair and delicate face, coupled with her naturally timid eyes, and the fact that she seemed a little drowsy in Ye Shu's arms, all combined with that fluffy pink bunny ear hat...

What an adorable creature! It's so cute it's almost shameless.

Looking at the adorable little bunny in her arms, Ye Shu felt a little uneasy. Would taking her... put too much pressure on her?

However, Ye Shu still wanted to ask, because she still wanted to go with An Suxue.

First, it'll let me show off in front of my buddies, letting those old bachelors' brothers... take a good look at what a girlfriend is like.

Secondly, this is a very good training opportunity. I know the person I'm facing, and Xiaoxue will definitely not cause any accidents.

"Minor Snow".

He gently patted An Suxue's back and asked softly.

"Um?"

An Suxue opened her eyes, tilted her little face up to look at him. She seemed to have really fallen asleep just now, and her voice was still a little nasal.

Ye Shu thought for a moment and then spoke:

"Um... Just now, my college roommate, one of my dorm buddies, sent a message in the group chat. They happen to be free today and said they wanted to get together for dinner tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt An Suxue in his arms stiffen slightly.

A hint of disappointment flashed across her face, but she still nodded gently and gave a soft "hmm" to indicate that she understood. Then she buried her face back in his chest, as if to say, "I know, you can go now, I'll stay home and behave."

Seeing how pitiful she looked, Ye Shu quickly continued:

"Hmm, would you like to come along?"

"Huh?"

An Suxue raised her face, her eyes widening slightly. She hadn't expected Ye Shu to ask her this.

She opened her mouth, but her voice was very soft and uncertain:

"I...I..."

She wanted to say she didn't want to go. The thought of sitting at a table with several complete strangers, who might look at her, ask her questions, or make a lot of noise, made her heart race. She wanted to quickly retreat to her room and lock the door.

but……

Deep down, she still wanted to go. She wanted to go out with Ye Shu, to be a part of his life, to meet his friends, and... to be seen by others as "Ye Shu's girlfriend," even if it was just sitting quietly beside him.

Looking at the complex expression on An Suxue's face, Ye Shu understood perfectly what An Suxue was struggling with:

"Xiaoxue, don't be afraid. Look, last time we walked back from outside, nothing happened, right?"

"But that time... I... I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings..."

"But wasn't the result great? We got home safely, and you did it, right?"

Ye Shu held An Suxue in his arms, gently guiding her from above her head:

"My buddies are all really nice people, genuinely. They're not scary at all, and very easy to get along with. And..."

He loosened his arm slightly so that An Suxue could see his eyes clearly, and said very seriously:

"I'll stay with you the whole time, I won't leave your side for a moment. Just stick close to me. If you feel uncomfortable, or want to come back, we can leave anytime, okay? I promise."

As An Suxue listened to his words, she began to imagine the scene in her mind.

An unfamiliar restaurant, a noisy environment, several unfamiliar faces... just imagining it made her nervous.

She instinctively snuggled closer to Ye Shu, finding a sense of security only in his embrace.

Ye Shu sensed her movement, and the little bit of expectation in his heart slowly sank.

Was it really too much of a stretch? It might have been too much of a leap for her.

He patted An Suxue's head, thinking, "Forget it, I won't go. Don't pressure her, take it slow."

Ye Shu was about to say, "Then I won't go. I'll stay home with you."

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled, low voice came from within his arms:

"Then...you...you're not allowed to leave my side for even a moment, you have to keep your word..."

There's a chance!

Ye Shu immediately nodded in assurance:

"Okay! I promise, I won't leave your side for a moment. Tonight I'll find a buckle and fasten you to my waistband. I'll take you with me to the toilet too. You'd better close your eyes then, or I'll get shy."

An Suxue chuckled softly at his teasing, but then felt a surge of nervousness at having agreed to such a terrifying thing, and buried her face deeply in Ye Shu's arms.

"No...don't talk nonsense..."

Seeing her adorable face, Ye Shu suddenly had a mischievous thought. He hugged An Suxue and, feigning concern, said above her head:

"And, Xiaoxue, think about it again. What if I really go alone tonight and leave you home alone? What if... I mean, what if, out of some corner, a spider sneaks out again? What then?"

Ye Shu knew he was scared too, and it was a bit unethical to use this to scare her. But seeing her nestled obediently in his arms, he just wanted to be a little cheeky and see her angry yet helpless reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, An Suxue trembled slightly, then snuggled even closer to Ye Shu. After a long while, she said, somewhat aggrievedly:

"I...I already promised to go with you...Why...why are you scaring me like this..."

Yes! That's exactly the effect I wanted!

The voice was soft and sticky, giving Ye Shu a feeling similar to that of a rice dumpling. It was clearly a complaint, but to Ye Shu it sounded more like a coquettish plea.

Satisfied!

That look of fear and grievance, yet only able to softly complain, is just so adorable!

Seeing An Suxue's aggrieved expression, Ye Shu's remaining conscience finally surfaced, and he began to condemn his own evil deeds.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I won't scare you anymore. The house is perfectly safe."

He stroked the fur on An Suxue's pajamas gently, like petting a small animal:

"Shall we take a nap a little longer? It's still early, and then we can think about what to wear tonight, okay?"
