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

"Dinner's ready."

Shen Jingwan came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of food in her hand.

She spotted An Jianxing sitting on the sofa, sipping tea, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but her voice remained gentle:

"Didn't I tell you to invite people to eat? Why are you still sitting there?"

An Jianxing was pondering Ye Shu's look and that sudden "manly" comment when his wife called him out on this, and he jumped in fright, quickly putting down his teacup.

"Oh right, let's go eat."

He remembered it when he came to the living room, but Ye Shu stared at him so intently that he forgot.

An Hongyi stood up from the sofa with a smile and slowly walked towards the dining room.

Xiao Nuan obediently got up from Ye Shuhuai's arms.

But when it was Ye Shu's turn, it seemed a bit difficult.

He had been sitting cross-legged as a baby chair for too long, and when he twisted his body and stood up, his legs felt like they were on electrical wires—sore, numb, and powerless.

Then I heard him hiss, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground.

Oh no, Ye Shu can't feel her legs anymore.

It didn't hurt, but my legs felt like ants were crawling on them, and they felt like they were filled with lead, so I couldn't move them.

"What's wrong with this child?"

Seeing this, Shen Jingwan quickly put down the vegetables she was holding, walked over, and reached out to help Ye Shu.

Xiao Nuan came over and bent down to look at him.

Ye Shu was a little embarrassed. With the help of Shen Jingwan and Xiao Nuan, he struggled and grimaced before finally sitting back down on the sofa.

"It's nothing, Auntie, it's just... my legs are numb..."

Xiao Nuan stood beside him, looked at Ye Shu's expression, blinked, and said:

"Numbness in the legs is usually caused by maintaining a fixed posture for a long time, which compresses blood vessels and nerves, leading to poor local blood circulation and transient nerve ischemia. You need to improve blood circulation in your legs to relieve nerve compression."

After saying that, she didn't give Ye Shu a chance to react. She sat down next to Ye Shu and then reached out and viciously attacked one of Ye Shu's legs.

They pressed and rubbed the area, and occasionally pounded it.

Anyone who has experienced leg numbness knows that the leg is absolutely not to be touched during this time.

"hiss!"

When Ye Shu turned on the lights on the first floor, he was completely stunned and almost burst into tears.

It felt sore, swollen, and itchy, and it felt like countless tiny needles were constantly pricking my legs.

Xiao Nuan's grip strength was surprisingly strong, and she was squeezing very carefully.

"Ah...no! Xiao Nuan, stop, stop for a second!"

Ye Shu quickly stopped her; he felt like chopping off his own leg. The main problem was that he wanted to dodge, but his leg was numb and wouldn't obey him.

"Please... don't move, let me calm down... just a little while..."

Hearing Ye Shu's scream, Xiao Nuan let go and looked up at Ye Shu's face.

Ye Shu actually understood Xiao Nuan's eyes. Her pure and innocent eyes meant, "I'm helping you, why don't you appreciate it?"

"However, physical massage is one of the most direct and effective ways to stimulate the dilation of local capillaries, accelerate blood return, and relieve nerve compression. Theoretically, this can shorten the time your legs are numb."

"Theoretically it is... but in practice... it's deadly."

Ye Shu was panting, feeling like she was about to break out in a cold sweat:

"I'll calm down, really, I'll be fine in a little while."

Xiao Nuan stared at him for a few seconds, blinked rapidly, and then, unexpectedly, she suddenly leaned forward, opened her arms, and gently hugged Ye Shu's neck.

Then, while Ye Shu was still basking in the soreness of her legs, she tilted her head back, leaned in, and gave Ye Shu a light kiss on the lips.

This was a fleeting touch, like a dragonfly skimming the water, gone in an instant.

Ye Shu's legs immediately stopped feeling numb; to be more precise, she could no longer feel the numbness in her legs.

"What...what are you doing??"

Xiao Nuan released her arms from his neck, placed her hand on Ye Shu's left chest, and felt his heartbeat as she said:

"Through close contact and mental stimulation, changes in hormone levels such as adrenaline are triggered in the body, leading to an increased heart rate and cardiac output, thereby improving the overall efficiency of blood circulation."

Ye Shu's heart was indeed beating fast, but that seems obvious, how could it not be?

The two of them kissed right there in front of their family.

However, Xiao Nuan continued to explain:

"Your heart rate has increased significantly. This method can promote blood circulation throughout your body without making you feel uncomfortable."

An Hongyi had already walked slowly towards the restaurant with his hands behind his back, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Shen Jingwan, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled, stood up, grabbed her husband, and then patted An Jianxing, who was almost transformed.

"Alright, the kids are just playing around. Let's go eat."

Then An Jianxing's transformation was interrupted, and he was dragged into the restaurant by Shen Jingwan.

When Ye Shu arrived at the restaurant with Xiao Nuan, looking like a half-paralyzed old man, the nanny, Sister Liu, had just served the last dish, a bowl of milky white fish head soup.

"Come on, Xiao Shu, sit down."

Shen Jingwan greeted them with a smile.

Ye Shu responded and sat down in the chair, and Xiao Nuan naturally sat next to him.

Ye Shu glanced around and noticed that someone seemed to be missing, so he asked:

"Auntie, where's my cousin? Isn't he eating with us?"

Shen Jingwan served him a bowl of rice, placed it in front of him, and said:

"Yu Hang said something came up and he had to leave. He won't be eating at home."

"What could possibly be wrong with him?"

Across from him, An Jianxing held a small white porcelain wine cup, first pouring a cup for his elderly father, then pouring one for himself. He sipped it with a slurp, then said with a hint of exasperation:

"He's never home, he's always out causing trouble."

What he said was the tone most elders in a family would use when talking about their own children.

But when Ye Shu listens to it now, it seems a little different.

Having just listened to "Xiao Zhu's history of messing around," Ye Shu felt that An Jianxing's current use of the phrase "messing around aimlessly" didn't sound like a derogatory term at all; on the contrary, it seemed to make him somewhat agree with it.

But Ye Shu was just pondering things on her own, looking down at the food in front of her.

"Xiao Shu, don't just look, eat."

Shen Jingwan sat beside her and smiled:

"Try this fish, Auntie cooked it herself, see if it's delicious."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Ye Shu nodded repeatedly in agreement, but he didn't immediately pick up his chopsticks; instead, he just sat there.

The old man hasn't even touched his chopsticks yet. Ye Shu knows this basic etiquette. He's still considered an outsider at this stage. When eating at someone else's house, how can an outsider like himself start eating first?

An Hongyi held the wine cup, slowly took a sip, squinted his eyes, and you could tell from his expression how delicious the wine was.

But he clearly saw Ye Shu's obedient childlike demeanor.

The old man's lips curved slightly before he put down his wine cup, picked up his chopsticks, and said:

"Hmm, not bad."

"What's so good about it, Dad?"

An Jianxing casually asked from the side.

"I say this fish is cooked quite well."

An Hongyi symbolically picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it in his bowl. His eyes, smiling, swept over Ye Shu before finally settling on his daughter-in-law, praising her:

"Xiao Wan's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Shen Jingwan smiled:

"Dad, then please eat more."

An Hongyi nodded, then turned to Ye Shu and said:

"Child, eat up, don't be shy, treat yourself like you're at home."

Only then did Ye Shu dare to pick up her chopsticks, taking a piece of fish and putting it in her mouth.

It's still uncomfortable to eat at someone else's house.
