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

The thought of kissing An Jianxing on the cheek sent a chill down Ye Shu's spine, and she couldn't help but shiver.

He shook his head like a rattle drum:

"No, no, no! Absolutely not! Sister Xia Qing, we had a deal, we can't let this affect other people! This is too much!"

"Can my dad be considered anyone else?"

Xia Qing glared defiantly, then raised her small fist, which she had just retracted, and held it up in front of Ye Shu's nose:

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you going or not? A real man knows when to back down from a bet, right? Go now!"

"I'm not going!"

Ye Shu was determined this time. He closed his eyes, stiffened his neck, and adopted a "do as you please" attitude:

"I'm not going! I can't handle this! You can kill me, but I won't go!"

Asking him to kiss his future father-in-law on the cheek? That's terrifying!

Seeing that he didn't seem to be afraid of being scalded by boiling water, Xia Qing wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she withdrew her fist and revealed a mysterious and wicked smile.

"Alright, Ye Shu, you're going to renege on your promise and not go, huh?"

As she spoke, she took out the phone that had been confiscated from her pocket.

Ye Shu looked at her clutching her phone, and judging from her tone and smile, although she didn't know what she was up to, it certainly wasn't anything good.

"What...what are you doing?"

Ye Shuxiang reached out to take it, but Xia Qing dodged him.

She opened Ye Shu's WeChat, found the chat box labeled "Dad," started editing a message, and then showed the screen to Ye Shu.

【I can't take it anymore! Ye Shu hit me! He yelled at me! He won't let me eat! I can't live like this anymore!】

Xia Qing looked up at her with a smile, her finger hovering over the send button, and then slowly asked:

"What do you think would happen if I just... oh! sent this message out?"

Of course she wouldn't actually do that; she was just trying to scare Ye Shu.

But Ye Shu had already imagined himself being hung on the roof beam by his father and made to swing. His father might even push him with his pure leather belt. What a scene of filial piety!

Xia Qing watched the fascinating changes in his expression, then waved her phone and asked:

"To go or not to go?"

Ye Shu looked at Xia Qing's face and couldn't believe it. Was this really Xia Qing? It was terrifying!

But he glanced at the finger hovering over the send button, then at Uncle An across from him, who was completely unaware of the treacherous deal taking place.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with a sense of tragic grandeur.

"I...go!"

Ye Shu gritted her teeth and uttered those two words.

Xia Qing put away her phone, smiled, and patted Ye Shu on the shoulder encouragingly, saying:

"Go for it, Ye Shu! I believe in you!"

Ye Shu returned her a look that said, "I'll remember you," then took a deep breath and walked somewhat awkwardly toward An Jianxing.

The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return...

An Jianxing was looking down at his phone, while Shen Jingwan sat next to him, flipping through a magazine.

Noticing someone approaching, the two looked up and saw Ye Shu. Shen Jingwan was about to speak when she sent a message saying that Ye Shu's expression looked a little strange.

I felt tense, desperate, and I desperately wanted to escape, like I was being led to my execution.

Shen Jingwan frowned slightly, wondering why the child looked so pale.

"Xiao Shu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

An Jianxing didn't say anything, he just looked at him.

Ye Shu forced out a smile that looked worse than a grimace:

"No, Aunt Shen, I'm fine..."

He said he was fine, but he just stood there in front of the two of them and didn't leave.

Shen Jingwan and An Jianxing exchanged a glance. They both agreed that there was nothing wrong with the child. They should just say what was wrong, as standing there like that was rather frightening.

Across from her, Xia Qing covered her mouth on the sofa, laughing so hard she was shaking, desperately trying not to burst out laughing.

Ye Shu stood there, struggling with her own thoughts.

To kiss or not to kiss? That is the question.

Honey, Taisha is dead.

If we don't get close, it will lead to a family crisis.

Seeing that he was motionless and his facial expressions were so varied, Shen Jingwan realized that the child's behavior was abnormal, so she asked softly again:

"Just say what's on your mind. Don't be shy. What's there to be embarrassed about with your uncle and aunt?"

"No, really, I'm fine..."

Ye Shu knew he couldn't delay any longer. He steeled his resolve, resigned to the thought that the sooner he died, the sooner he would be free, and turned to look at An Jianxing, saying:

"Uncle An, I have something to tell you."

When An Jianxing saw that he was being called, he put down his phone and looked at him:

"Okay, what is it?"

Ye Shu leaned forward, bent down, and got close to An Jianxing's face.

An Jianxing subconsciously dodged to the side, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive and getting so close?"

It's now!

Looking at An Jianxing's face, Ye Shukuan steeled her heart, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle An! I was forced into this!"

Then, with lightning speed and unstoppable force, he bit An Jianxing right in the face!

"Sizzle!"

That was really loud...

An Jianxing and Shen Jingwan were both stunned, neither of them understanding what had just happened.

What...what's going on?

An Jianxing was stunned for several seconds before belatedly raising his hand to touch his face, which had just been attacked. It still felt wet.

When he turned to look at the perpetrator next to him, he found that Ye Shu's face was as red as a monkey's bottom, and he was standing there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

On the other side, Xia Qing saw Ye Shu really kiss him, and seeing the shocked expressions on her parents' faces, she completely lost her composure.

She covered her mouth tightly with one hand and her stomach with the other, collapsing onto the sofa, trying her best to hold back her laughter until tears streamed down her face.

"What...what are you doing?"

An Jianxing had lived most of his life and experienced all sorts of ups and downs, but being suddenly kissed by a young man was a first for him. He had even wondered if it was a hallucination.

I don't even know what I'm doing!

Ye Shu's face was burning hot, and her mind began to race.

What do we do now? What should we do now?!

A: I told Uncle An that I really admire him. He is like a lighthouse in my life, a guiding light. Just now, I couldn't help but take a sip.

B: I told Uncle An that he looked unwell these past two days and seemed a bit feverish. I used my family's traditional cupping therapy to cool him down.

C: Tell Uncle An that I was suddenly possessed by a ghost! I didn't know anything about it! Huh?! Where am I?!

……

It seems like... neither option is right...

Ye Shu was sweating profusely with anxiety. Shen Jingwan, who was next to her, looked at Ye Shu's expression and then at her daughter who was lying on the sofa opposite her, almost laughing to the point of falling to the ground. She could roughly guess why the child had suddenly done this.

"Was it Xiao Qing who gave it to you?"

Your Majesty is wise!

Ye Shu almost cried with excitement.

"Um!"

He nodded vigorously. The aunt had guessed it herself, not said it herself! It didn't break the rules!

Upon hearing that it was his daughter who had made the decision, An Jianxing's face showed a hint of helplessness. He didn't know what to say, but simply cleared his throat and said:

"Honestly, all you do is fool around. Go back and sit still."

"Eh!"

Upon receiving the imperial decree, Ye Shu quickly ran back to his seat and sat down obediently.

Well, now that Uncle An has spoken, he's telling me to sit still, so Sister Xia Qing probably won't be able to say anything.

Xia Qing, leaning on his shoulder, was laughing so hard she couldn't sit up anymore.

"Good for you, Ye Shu! A real man keeps his word! The expressions you two made just now... hahahahaha!"

Ye Shu had originally wanted to request "Ashamed of Myself," but after being mocked like this, she suddenly became a little angry and embarrassed.

Anger arises from the heart, and evil thoughts spring from the gall.

He looked at Xia Qing's bright smile on his shoulder, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he wanted to shut her up, but on impulse, he kissed Xia Qing on the lips.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Xia Qing froze, her smile stiffened, and her eyes widened, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

After Ye Shu kissed him, he was stunned.

What am I doing?!

What did I do?!

I think... in front of so many people, in front of Uncle An and Aunt Shen, I kissed Sister Xia Qing...

However, Xia Qing didn't react, instead saying that she was unusually quiet.

Ye Shu saw that her face turned red at a visible speed, and then she sat back in her seat with a little shyness, her head down.

Ye Shu was also a little embarrassed, so she followed her example and lowered her head to look at the floor tiles.

Silence fell immediately, and no one spoke.

After a long while, Xia Qing finally spoke somewhat hesitantly:

"Maybe... we should stop playing for now."

"Um……"
