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

After An Suxue uttered her soft self-introduction, the private room was quiet for a couple of seconds.

Zhang Xiaoqiang, Wang Yu, and Han Yang, who hadn't said much, all looked a bit stuck on the screen.

They never expected that this sister-in-law, who had seemed to want to hide herself inside Ye Shu's clothes from the moment she appeared, would suddenly introduce herself a second time.

It was so sudden that they were momentarily speechless.

Should I warmly say "Hello, sister-in-law"? Or should I say a few words about Ye Shu? Neither seems quite right.

An Suxue also sensed the sudden silence and felt a pang of regret, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

She messed up again... Why does she have to talk? Why not just be quiet and invisible like before?

Now everyone's stopped talking. You must feel weird and clueless about how to read the room, right?

But besides that self-introduction, she really couldn't think of anything else to say. Now that she thinks about it, suddenly having to introduce herself like that really does seem strange…

She remembered when she was at home, whenever her parents entertained uncles and aunts whose faces she had never seen, she would be called to the living room and sit next to her mother.

She always kept her head down, staring at her knees pressed together or the slippers on her feet, without saying a word.

The guests chatted with her parents about all sorts of topics she couldn't understand, occasionally interspersed with polite laughter.

But An Suxue could feel it. Even though she didn't look up, she could still feel that people's gazes swept over her, as if she were a decoration, and then moved away to continue chatting with her parents.

She knew that those people were looking for her father, and that her presence was merely an unnecessary backdrop.

She didn't need to speak, nor did she need to be given special attention. By remaining silent, the other party was happy to relax and not have to bother dealing with her.

It's always been like this: she acts like she's invisible, and they go about their social lives.

Quiet, undisturbed, and unobtrusive—this was her safest and most familiar spot.

But just now... just now, in that instant, watching Ye Shu divert attention from those things that made me uneasy, feeling the warmth from his palm, and the possessiveness and pride he showed when he mentioned "my girlfriend"...

A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

She didn't want to be invisible anymore.

At least here, in Ye Shu's world, in front of his friends.

She wasn't just a background figure, not a decoration to be ignored. She was An Suxue, Ye Shu's girlfriend, the person sitting next to him.

She wanted to be seen, to let the three people who were laughing and talking with Ye Shu know that the person sitting next to Ye Shu was her, An Suxue.

But she never expected things to turn out this way...

Just as she was about to bury her head under the table, Ye Shu next to her spoke up and asked the three people opposite her:

"Why aren't you giving me any face? Show some appreciation!"

Wang Yu was the first to react, leaning forward slightly with a sincere smile on his face:

"Hello, sister-in-law! Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Wang Yu, and I'm the same age as Brother Ye. I've always been a person of excellent character since I was little, with no bad habits. I'm honest, hardworking, love life, and have a positive attitude. I was a model student for three consecutive years in elementary school! Sister-in-law, do you have any single female friends or anything? Could you... consider introducing me to them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang spat and slapped Wang Yu's arm.

"Have you no shame? Huh? You just met your sister-in-law, you haven't even warmed your seat yet, and you're already asking her to introduce you to someone? Are you even that close to her?"

After scolding Wang Yu, he immediately turned to An Suxue, flashing what he considered a more mature smile than Wang Yu's. He cleared his throat and said:

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense. Well... look at me, my name is Zhang Xiaoqiang, a year younger than Brother Ye. I'm a straightforward person, no ulterior motives. My love motto is 'I'll use my sincerity to win your smile.' Sister-in-law, if you know any suitable friends who think I'm alright, could you introduce me to someone?"

Wang Yu, who was standing nearby, was immediately displeased and retorted:

"Zhang Xiaoqiang, how dare you call me shameless? Does that mean you're familiar with your sister-in-law?"

"At least I know her better than you! Didn't I greet your wife first at the door? Didn't I know her a little longer than you? If we're in line, you should be behind me."

Wang Yu grinned, his face full of disdain, at Zhang Xiaoqiang's self-righteous demeanor.

"Are you some kind of prawn? You cooked in just a few seconds?"

The two of them bantered back and forth, instantly heating up the atmosphere. Han Yang and Ye Shu, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but join in the battle.

Han Yang was alright, but when it was Ye Shu's turn to speak, the three on the other side immediately united against him and launched a barrage of attacks on Ye Shu.

Zhang Xiaoqiang: "Shut up! Look at you, getting the benefit and then acting innocent!"

Wang Yu: "Exactly! What kind of world is this? Some are dying of drought while others are drowning in floods."

Han Yang: "You're just a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man."

Despite being surrounded by three people, Ye Shu remained calm and even smiled more brightly. He knew very well what his greatest advantage and weapon was.

Can't argue anymore? No problem, then we won't argue anymore.

Suddenly, he stretched out his arm and pulled An Suxue, who was standing next to him with her head down, listening to their bickering, into his arms.

Then he raised his chin, shook his head smugly at the three old bachelors opposite him who were attacking, and his expression was so smug that he looked like he wanted to punch someone.

See? I have it, but you don't. Aren't you angry?

This move dealt real damage to the three guys on the other side.

An Suxue didn't expect Ye Shu to do this so suddenly. Being tightly hugged in front of others made her face feel a little hot.

She instinctively struggled slightly, but dared not move too much, so she buried her face in Ye Shu's shoulder and complained softly in a voice that was both shy and annoyed:

"No...don't do this..."

If she hadn't complained, her slightly trembling farewell, tinged with shyness, coupled with her being held in Ye Shu's arms, her ears red and her inability to look at anyone...

The three men opposite, Zhang Xiaoqiang, Wang Yu, and Han Yang, almost had their eyes bulging out of their sockets.

What's this? Are these two doing a combo attack?! One comes in and immediately grabs you to deal real damage, while the other uses this coy look to inflict continuous damage?

The three of them now just leave as soon as they remember, then go to an internet cafe to surf the internet, not wanting to play with that disgusting couple.

It's so unfair of God that this kid got to eat!
