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

After nearly a month of meticulous care from the four of them, and with Shen Jingwan and An Jianxing bringing various tonics to feed him every few days, Ye Shu's unfortunate ankle was finally able to put down.

Ye Shu paced back and forth in the living room several times, beaming with pride. His legs were better now; he could jog and even jump! Hey, jump!

Although he dared not move too violently, the feeling of being able to move freely almost made him cry.

I've been stuck at home for almost a month, feeling like I'm under house arrest every day. It's so torturous.

Although I was taken very well, the feeling of not being able to go anywhere and having to rely on others for everything was really uncomfortable.

Unlike now, he can go to the toilet whenever he wants! He can go to the kitchen whenever he wants!

The first thing Ye Shu did after leaving the pass was naturally to return to her job.

During this month, Sister Chen Xing would occasionally send messages to express her condolences on behalf of Corner Tea, asking how his recovery was going, if he needed anything, and urging him to take good care of himself and not to rush.

If it were any other boss, Ye Shu might have thought he was being pressured to go back, that he was afraid she was taking the opportunity to slack off, or that he was worried about the store's performance.

But when it came to Sister Chen Xing, Ye Shu felt that she genuinely cared about him, just pure concern.

However, Ye Shu didn't really become a completely hands-off manager during this month... no, he should be called a hands-off employee.

If you can't move your feet, you still have your hands.

He put a lot of effort into carefully managing the short video account for Corner Tea Talk.

The video of me being forced to dance by Sister Chen Xing even got some views from her, and it actually became quite popular.

The number of likes and comments also increased significantly, bringing a small wave of curious customers from the surrounding area to the store.

However, that only applies to that one video. Other properly filmed videos that introduce new products and showcase the store environment still don't perform well in terms of viewership.

Reality has once again confirmed some of the helpless but true logic of the internet age: sometimes, painstaking efforts are no match for a clever trick.

Looking at the video of herself dancing, Ye Shu pouted and thought, "Looks like these days, if you want to become famous, you still have to do something funny."

In the morning, Ye Shu's biological clock, which hadn't been working for a long time, woke her up before Xia Qing's loving alarm clock went off.

I haven't heard it for a month, and you know what, I've actually started to miss it.

But after not getting up early for a month, it's still a bit strange to suddenly get up early again.

He turned his head to the side, and there was a familiar sleeping face beside him on the pillow.

Before they knew it, sharing a bed seemed to have become a natural and unspoken agreement between them. They couldn't quite remember exactly when it started.

Anyway, during the month they were recovering from their injuries, they slept in my room the whole time.

Ye Shu reached out and turned off the alarm clock that was about to ring. She got out of bed quietly, dressed herself, and then turned around to cover herself with the blanket before quietly leaving the room.

Wash up, prepare breakfast, pour dog food into the potato chips, and change the water.

Having multiple puppies in this house definitely makes a difference.

At least I don't have to eat breakfast alone anymore; there's a little dog next to me, its butt sticking out, ready to starve if it eats a second later.

After breakfast, Ye Shu changed into her clothes for going out.

After staying home for over a month, the spring atmosphere in the southern part of the city has become stronger, and we've seen the chilly spring weather give way to the warm April.

Ye Shu wore only a thick T-shirt and a jacket, and felt that it was just right.

Walking to the store after a long time, smelling the fresh air mixed with car exhaust, I took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Along the way, Ye Shu found everything beautiful, from the green belts to the big trees along the sidewalk. Even the counterfeit supermarket now seemed incredibly familiar.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Ye Shu arrived at the entrance of Corner Tea House, took out his key, and pushed open the glass door.

The familiar wind chimes and the familiar aroma of coffee still lingered; the shop seemed almost exactly the same as before he left.

He turned on the light, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and began cleaning.

I wonder if Sister Chen Xing's sales have been affected by my absence for the past month.

Although deep down he still didn't believe he was some kind of reincarnation of a lucky cat, he couldn't resist Sister Chen Xing's constant nagging in his ear.

Phrases like "Business improves as soon as you come," "I feel uneasy when you're not around," and "Xiao Ye, you're the mascot of our shop"...

The more he talked about it, the more even Ye Shu himself would sometimes subconsciously think about it in that direction.

The subconscious mind is truly terrifying; its subtle and pervasive influence is incredibly profound.

Ye Shuzai carefully mopped the floor, then took a rag and wiped the tabletop, bar counter, and even the decorative ornaments on the wall, including the lucky roe deer he had brought back.

After not doing any real work for more than a month, this cleaning really made him feel refreshed, as if it had relaxed his muscles and improved his blood circulation.

Sure enough, people still need to get moving.

I've almost finished tidying up. I glanced at the time; it's 8:56.

Wait a minute, Sister Chen Xing should have arrived at the shop by now and be sitting in the back enjoying her coffee. Why hasn't she come yet?

Ye Shu was a little suspicious. He had come to work today with a bit of a surprise in mind, so he hadn't told Chen Xing beforehand.

I wondered what her expression would be when she arrived and suddenly found me standing unharmed in the store.

But now, with work time fast approaching, there's not a trace of Sister Chen Xing.

Could something have happened today? Are you temporarily closing the store?

Ye Shu walked to the window and glanced in the direction Chen Xing usually came from. She then took out her phone, thinking that if all else failed, she would send a message to ask.

However, just as he took out his phone, he saw a figure slowly swaying towards him.

She was still carrying that large shoulder bag that looked like it could hold a lot of things, one hand covering her mouth, yawning, and her feet wobbling.

His walking posture, swaying with every step, looked just like Ji Gong from a distance.

It's Sister Chen Xing. Ye Shu smiled, put her phone back in her pocket, crossed her arms, and watched Chen Xing walk this way through the window, while mentally reciting a song about tattered shoes and a tattered hat.

Chen Xing clearly didn't notice that there were already people in the store. She walked to the store entrance with her head down, then turned the large handbag in front of her and reached inside to start rummaging around.

Ye Shu just watched her take things out. She looked like she hadn't woken up yet, one hand rummaging around in her bag, her eyes closed, muttering something to herself.

After rummaging around for a while, he finally pulled out a large bunch of keys. He then held the keys up to his eyes, almost touching his nose, before slightly opening his eyes and starting to look at them one by one.

After dawdling for a while, he finally held the key in his hand and instinctively reached for the door lock with his other hand, but he couldn't find anything.

"Um?"

Chen Xing touched the door lock area with his hand, then opened his eyes and suddenly realized that there was no door lock at all.

Could it be... that I forgot to lock the door when I left last night?!

Suddenly, she was no longer sleepy, and she pushed open the door and rushed inside.

Just as she was thinking of checking if the store had been ransacked, she suddenly saw Ye Shu standing by the bar, looking on with amusement.
