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

Two copies were made. After Ye Shu signed them, Chen Xing also signed his name on them.

Then, Chen Xing took out a box of ink pads from his bag. After the two pressed their fingerprints on the paper, Chen Xing handed one copy of the contract to Ye Shu and kept the other copy for himself.

"Alright! Xiao Ye, from now on, you're Manager Ye of Corner Tea House. This little shop is all yours from now on! As for me, I'm officially retiring and gloriously promoted to handover manager!"

She patted Ye Shu on the shoulder and joked:

"But Manager Ye, you'd better step up your game and do a good job. Don't let us go bankrupt."

After saying that, she thought about it for a moment:

"But I think it's difficult. With your lucky cat-like physique, it would be quite difficult for you to bankrupt the shop."

Ye Shu, holding her folder, grinned at Chen Xing and said:

I'll try my best.

"Hard work alone isn't enough!"

Chen Xing, with the earnest expression of a senior, said:

"You need to understand one thing: you're not getting a salary anymore, you're getting a share! What does that mean? It means the store's business directly impacts your income; the more you earn, the more you get. We're in this together now. From now on, I'm counting on you to improve my life, understand?"

Chen Xing's words seemed a little strange, but Ye Shu still smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Then, the same waiter from before came in carrying a large tray.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Here is your steamed grouper. Please enjoy."

The waiter placed a fish platter on the table, with a fish lying inside, topped with shredded ginger and scallions. It did smell delicious.

"Finally here! I was starving if I waited any longer!"

Chen Xing stared at the fish, instantly forgetting about signing the contract. He glared at it like a hungry wolf, carelessly piling the contract, inkpad, and other materials onto the chair beside him without bothering to tidy up.

"Come on, Xiao Ye, there's also... uh..."

She picked up her chopsticks, intending to invite the two to eat, but when she looked at Xiao Nuan, who hadn't said much, she suddenly hesitated.

He seemed to remember Ye Shu introducing him, his name was... something like that?

As far as I can remember, it seems that every time I met Ye Shu's girlfriend, Ye Shu would introduce her to him, and... the name seemed to be different every time?

She was a little dazed for a moment; the girl's presence was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and she really couldn't remember her.

"Xiao Nuan".

My brother-in-law, who was standing next to me, reminded me that it was the first time he had seen it, so he naturally remembered it clearly.

Chen Xing nodded, his smile widening, and beckoned to Xiao Nuan:

"Oh right, Xiaonuan, come on over, don't be shy, their fish is absolutely amazing, you have to try it!"

"Well then, we won't stand on ceremony."

Ye Shu smiled and stopped being polite; any further politeness would only make them seem distant.

He was about to reach for the food when he suddenly remembered something, put down his chopsticks, and switched to serving chopsticks.

He doesn't have this habit; at home, he always uses his own chopsticks. He finds it too troublesome to have to switch chopsticks just to pick up food, and he could eat an extra bowl of rice in that time.

But this isn't at home, it's outside. And judging from my brother-in-law's demeanor, he's clearly a person who values ​​things. What if they look down on him? That would be terrible.

Ye Shu used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and put it on her own plate. Then she carefully removed all the fish bones before placing it on Xiao Nuan's plate next to her.

"Yeah, be careful when you eat it, it might not be clean enough."

Xiao Nuan didn't touch her chopsticks until she saw the piece of fish Ye Shu gave her, then she picked up her chopsticks and ate it in small bites.

Ye Shu's public display of affection was all seen by Chen Xing on the other side.

She nudged her boyfriend with her elbow, then nodded slightly with her chin toward the two people opposite her, raising an eyebrow.

My brother-in-law saw it too, smiled knowingly, and nodded to Chen Xing.

Seeing that her boyfriend understood, Chen Xing became even more excited.

She deliberately didn't reach for the fish, but leaned back, looking at her fiancé expectantly with a "I'm waiting" attitude, and then glanced at the plate of fish.

The meaning couldn't be clearer. Even Xiao Ye knows how to remove fish bones for his girlfriend; now it's your turn to show off.

Brother-in-law successfully received the signal, and he also put a piece of fish on his plate. Under Chen Xing's gaze, he also carefully picked out the bones.

Seeing her boyfriend so focused on finding fault, Chen Xing's smile grew even brighter. She even deliberately twisted her body and adjusted her posture, preparing to be fed. She wondered whether she should be a little reserved or just be happy.

After his brother-in-law finished picking out the bones, he picked up the piece of fish with his chopsticks, then twisted his wrist and sent the chopsticks straight to his mouth.

Chen Xing, who was standing next to him, was instantly petrified.

My brother-in-law ate a mouthful of fish, chewed it a few times, then turned to Chen Xing and nodded, saying very sincerely:

"Yes, it's really good, very fresh."

Looking at his gourmet-like demeanor and then at his own empty plate, Chen Xing felt a surge of anger that could only be described as utterly absurd.

Her hand was under the table, and she quickly pinched the soft flesh on her brother-in-law's waist hard.

"Hmm!"

Before his brother-in-law could even swallow the fish, he felt a sudden attack on his side, causing him to groan in pain and almost spit out the fish.

He quickly grabbed his teacup, took a sip, then turned to Chen Xing with an innocent expression and asked:

"W-What's wrong?"

Chen Xing glared at him angrily and snorted through her nose:

"Nothing much! I'll choke you!"

After saying that, she stopped expecting anything from this clueless guy and angrily picked up a piece of fish for herself, picking out the bones as she thought to herself.

It's true that you can't rely on anyone else but yourself! Men? Humph! Especially those men who look respectable but are completely useless when it really matters!

My brother-in-law was still rubbing his lower back with one hand and holding a teacup with the other, looking at his angry fiancée with a bewildered expression.

What...were you fine just now? Why did you suddenly get angry?

I was very obedient just now, and I tried the fish as she said. Is there a problem?

Meanwhile, across the table, Ye Shu, who was still picking fish bones out of Xiao Nuan, had no idea how many people he was unintentionally hurt by the public display of affection he was giving her!

However, he was completely unaware of all this; all his attention was focused on the quiet girl beside him.

Because Xiao Nuan never seems to take the initiative to pick up food for herself when she's out, especially when there are other people around.

So while Ye Shu was eating his fill, he also had the task of feeding Xiao Nuan.

When Ye Shu occasionally looked up, he noticed that Chen Xing seemed to be eating with particular gusto, and her brother-in-law looked like he was deeply reflecting on his actions. When he tried to put food on Chen Xing's plate, he would get glared at.

I don't understand, I won't bother you, I'll just focus on taking care of Xiao Nuan myself.
