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

Although Mr. An Hongyi is playful, time waits for no one, and his age is evident.

High levels of concentration and reaction time can be quite taxing on your energy.

After dominating Ye Shu for several rounds, fully demonstrating the tactical prediction and operation skills of a veteran fighting game player, the old man leaned back, breathed a sigh of relief, and placed the controller on the coffee table:

"I'm done playing, I'm too old for this, I need to rest."

Ye Shu quickly put down the handle, leaned back on the sofa, and let out a long sigh of relief.

He had long since given up on the game because it was utterly pointless; he was just getting beaten up the whole time.

He felt like a scarecrow in the newbie village. If he could, he would rush to give the old man a Judgment Sword so he could leave quickly and stop torturing himself.

He admitted that the food was bad because he wasn't good enough.

But the most terrifying thing about the old man is his predictive ability. He seems to know when I will jump, when I will crouch, and how I will fight. Ye Shu even suspects that the old man can guess what color bitter tea he is wearing today.

There were a few moments when Ye Shu felt dazed, and he could empathize with his older brothers during the New Year.

The person in front of me is practically an elderly, enhanced version of Xiao Nuan!

This feeling of being completely seen through is exactly the same, making the gaming experience utterly unplayable.

After putting down the game, the atmosphere in the living room finally transformed into the casual, homely chat that Ye Shu had imagined.

Of course, it was mainly An Hongyi who was talking, Ye Shuying, and Xiao Nuan listening.

Xiao Nuan is the type of person who will only answer if you directly ask her a question; otherwise, she will just listen.

Once the old man starts talking, he can talk about anything and everything, from the past to the present, with ease.

From his school days to his observations of everyday life while sweeping the streets during a special period, and then to his return to the podium and the students he taught.

Ye Shu was a little nervous at first, but she was quickly impressed by the old man's knowledge and memory.

This old man has an exceptionally broad perspective, and his knowledge base is incredibly diverse.

It can be said that there is nothing he cannot talk about, from astronomy and geography to trivial matters.

Even when talking about Ye Shu's hometown, a small county town that most people have never heard of, the old man could talk about everything from the local geographical location, climate characteristics, and what crops the land was suitable for growing, to the local culture and history, such as which famous people came from Ye Shu's hometown in history, and some local folk legends.

Ye Shu listened intently, as if listening to a storybook. She was so impressed by what she had learned and filled with admiration.

How is it that their brains are so well-developed? They can remember so much and never forget it.

Looking at Ye Shu herself, sometimes she remembers something, turns around, and forgets it immediately.

Compared to the grandfather and grandson in front of him, Ye Shu felt like a kindergarten child.

He's so eager to learn now, completely absorbed in the stories the old man is telling.

Perhaps it was because, although the topics they discussed were broad, Xiao Nuan already knew most of them.

Or perhaps it's simply because I've been sitting for too long and want to change my posture.

While An Hongyi was telling Ye Shu the story of grain coupons, Xiao Nuan was moved.

She got up and walked around from behind the sofa to Ye Shu's side.

Ye Shuzheng turned sideways, facing An Hongyi, and listened attentively.

Sensing Xiao Nuan approaching, he turned to look at her, wondering what she wanted to do.

Xiao Nuan didn't say anything, but just patted his shoulder twice and gestured for him to move back a little.

Ye Shu had no idea what she was going to do, but adhering to the principle that "every action of Xiao Nuan must have a reason," Ye Shu still moved back a little and watched her, waiting to see what she would do.

An Hongyi stopped talking and looked at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, but his eyes were mostly fixed on Ye Shu.

Xiao Nuan glanced at the space Ye Shu had made up, as if checking if it was big enough, then reached out and tapped Ye Shu's leg, saying:

"Sit with your legs crossed on the sofa."

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Ye Shu felt a little embarrassed. Was it impolite to sit cross-legged in front of an elder she was meeting for the first time?

But he still crossed his legs on the sofa and looked at Xiao Nuan, asking softly:

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Nuan didn't answer. She just saw Ye Shu sit cross-legged and then walk between Ye Shu and An Hongyi. She sat down cross-legged in the spot that Ye Shu had just given up, facing An Hongyi.

She didn't sit on the sofa; she sat directly in Ye Shu's lap.

After settling in, Xiao Nuan still seemed uncomfortable with the position, so she reached out and grabbed Ye Shu's arms, pulling them forward as if she were wearing a military overcoat, and hugged herself.

She adjusted her position on Ye Shu's lap, leaning back slightly and nestled in his arms. Then, she looked up at her grandfather, whose expression was quite amusing, and said softly:

"Grandpa, please continue."

interesting.

Looking at his granddaughter's composed expression, which seemed to say, "It's better to listen to stories this way," and at his own grandson-in-law's demeanor, An Hongyi could only say that youth is truly wonderful.

Ye Shu felt uncomfortable and a little embarrassed with the soft, warm body in his arms.

Although they often hugged and cuddled at home, that was only when it was just the two of them.

Now, in front of his girlfriend's grandfather, they're hugging and cuddling like this... And, Ye Shu remembered that Uncle An and Aunt Shen were still there.

He secretly glanced at An Jianxing on the sofa out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, An Jianxing's face was so dark it could be sung in the drama "The Case of the Executioner of Chen Shimei." He held a teacup in his hand, his eyes fixed on Ye Shu's arms that were wrapped around Xiao Nuan.

His expression made it seem as if Ye Shu wasn't just holding Xiao Nuan, but rather as if he had kidnapped her.

If knives could fly from eyes, Ye Shu's arm would probably be chopped into mincemeat by now.

Shen Jingwan remained calm, and seeing her daughter being so proactive, she smiled with relief.

She glanced at her daughter, who was nestled in Ye Shu's arms, for a moment, then looked at An Jianxing, who was billowing black smoke beside her, and smiled.

He put down his fruit fork, patted An Jianxing on the shoulder, stood up and said:

"Come on, Lao An, let's go to the kitchen and check out the lunch menu. Let's see if we need to add anything else."

An Jianxing's eyes were still fixed on Ye Shu's arm, which he hadn't even thought about before blurting out:

"Go see for yourself."

Shen Jingwan's expression remained unchanged, still gentle and bright. She bent down, blocking An Jianxing's view, making him look at her face, and asked:

"What did you say?"

"I said, let's go take a look right away."

An Jianxing immediately changed his tune, then got up and walked towards the kitchen. As he approached the kitchen, he didn't forget to turn back and glare at Ye Shu's arm.

An Hongyi looked at the two people embracing in front of him and nodded with great satisfaction:

"That's right, young people should be like that, all warm and friendly, isn't that great? If only I were young back then..."

As he spoke, he even gave a nostalgic look:

"If you two continue like this, you're doomed. You'll be arrested immediately. This is called indecent assault, and it's a serious crime."

Hearing this, Ye Shu felt a little guilty.

Is he referring to himself in those words?

Ye Shu tried to pull his hand back a little, but Xiao Nuan's hand had been gripping his wrist ever since he sat down, making his arm encircle her.

Ye Shu could only maintain this lewd pose and give An Hongyi an awkward grin.

Seeing Ye Shu's expression, An Hongyi burst into laughter:

"Don't be afraid. Times have changed. We lived in a different era, and you live in a different era. Although I'm old, my thinking is still up-to-date. It's normal for you young people to be affectionate when you're dating, as long as you know your limits."

While these words did offer Ye Shu a small measure of reassurance, the concept of "appropriate measure" still remained somewhat delicate.

An Hongyi picked up the cola from the coffee table, took a sip, and then said to the two of them:

"Besides, don't let Xiaozhu's current serious demeanor fool you; when he was young and dating, he was quite a handful!"

"Little Pillar?"

Ye Shu was taken aback. Who is it?

Xiao Nuan, nestled in Ye Shu's arms, tilted her head slightly, looking up at Ye Shu's chin, and said:

"My dad, Xiaozhuzi is my dad's nickname."
