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

Honestly, writing invitations by hand is really exhausting, especially for someone like Ye Shu whose handwriting is terrible. You have to be highly focused on every stroke, afraid of writing crooked or wrong. You can't exactly draw a big black egg on it, can you?

As Ye Shu wrote, she actually rediscovered a bit of the feeling she had when her mother made her practice calligraphy at the table when she was a child.

Back then, his mother would look at his homework and criticize him all the time, saying that his handwriting looked like cockroaches crawling, and that he would lose all the points on his exams.

So from that day on, we started supplying him with calligraphy practice books continuously, including those with grid paper and square paper.

He was required to trace one page of calligraphy on a model book after finishing his homework each day, and then copy one page in his notebook.

If it's not well written, then rewrite it. You have to write until your mother is satisfied or until her maternal love is awakened and she can't bear to write anymore.

Looking back now, I really have to thank my mom for her strict policies back then, otherwise his handwriting would probably be even worse than it is now.

Ye Shu spent the entire afternoon writing, feeling like his neck was about to break from bowing his head so much, but he still hadn't finished writing half of the names on the list.

Seeing that they couldn't help, An Jianxing and Ye Guoqiang finished their lunch, wiped their mouths, said they were going to take a walk nearby, and didn't come back all afternoon, becoming hands-off managers.

Xiaoxue... Xiaoxue is very cute, that's enough.

However, to Ye Shu's surprise, Qin Lili's handwriting was actually quite decent.

This truly shows that appearances can be deceiving, and one cannot judge a book by its cover.

Qin Lili usually walks around carefree and with a swagger, and no matter how you look at her, she seems like someone who can write in a style similar to Ye Shu's dog-like handwriting. Who would have thought that when she holds a fountain pen, her strokes are actually quite delicate?

Although it's not as beautiful as Shen Jingwan's handwriting, it's enough to make Ye Shu look like he's been rubbed in the ground.

Ye Shu stared at the invitation card that Qin Lili had written. Because she was too surprised, she couldn't control her expression. Her expression looked like she had seen Guan Yu fighting Qin Hailu. She looked completely incredulous.

Qin Lili caught a glimpse of his demeanor out of the corner of her eye and asked, somewhat annoyed:

"What's with that expression? Did you see a ghost?"

"no……"

Ye Shu was so surprised that she blurted out what was on her mind:

"I never expected you to have such beautiful handwriting."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lili hissed and slammed her pen down on the table.

"What do you mean by that? Who are you looking down on? Why can't I write such beautiful characters? Let me tell you, I used to win first prize in calligraphy! It's just that I found writing too tiring and got too lazy to pretend anymore."

As she spoke, she tossed her hair with a smug look on her face.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lili was quite a hidden talent.

The four of them wrote for an entire afternoon, laughing and joking, until the two old men, An Jianxing and Ye Guoqiang, returned from their walk, and they still hadn't finished.

However, slow and steady wins the race. This isn't a factory rushing to finish a project. If I can't finish writing it, I'll just continue writing it tomorrow.

After having dinner there that evening, Qin Lili drove back to Yunduanyuan with Ye Shu and Xiaoxue.

Just before leaving, Ye Shu saw Xiao Xue secretly slip a few blank invitation cards into her small bag.

Ye Shu didn't ask her what she wanted to do, guessing she wanted to go back and practice secretly.

Looking at Xiaoxue's adorable face, Ye Shu couldn't think of any other word besides "perfect".

Who do you think researched Xiaoxue's work? Why is she so likable?

The three of them returned to Yunduanyuan, but instead of washing up and going to bed, they sprawled out on the sofa.

Qin Lili took two cans of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator, pulled the tab, tilted her head back and took a big gulp, grinning from ear to ear.

On the coffee table were snacks I'd bought on the way back: barbecue, spicy crayfish, and potato chips humming happily by the sofa, their aroma irresistible.

"We're having a special meal together."

Qin Lili picked up a skewer of meat, tore off a piece of meat with her hand, put it in her palm and handed it to Potato Chips, who immediately came over to eat it.

Seeing that she had finished her potato chips, she stood up and noticed the game console on the TV cabinet, which she hadn't noticed yesterday because her mind wasn't on it.

"Oh, you even bought a game console? Can you even play it?"

"It's playable, but there aren't many games."

Ye Shu got up, turned on the game console, and then came back with the controller:

"I haven't touched it much since I bought it; I've been too busy working on it."

"There are no games to buy."

Qin Lili pressed a few buttons on the controller and bought a few games; this was a small amount of money for her.

Xiaoxue sat next to her, holding a peeled crayfish in her hand, watching TV.

She didn't know how to play, but Ye Shu could tell she wanted to.

Moreover, Ye Shu couldn't bear to leave Xiao Xue alone, so he put the handle from his hand into Xiao Xue's hand:

"Come on, play with Sister Lili for a while."

"I won't……"

Xiaoxue held the controller, completely at a loss for what to do. She turned to look at Ye Shu, her face slightly flushed.

"You'll get it if you press it a few times. But if you press it wrong, it won't explode. Come on, I'll teach you."

Ye Shu held Xiaoxue's hand and began to teach her how to play games. Xiaoxue learned slowly but very seriously, even though the cars on the screen kept crashing into the guardrails.

Xiaoxue is still not suited for playing games. After playing for a while, perhaps due to motion sickness from 3D, she put the controller on the coffee table and said:

"I...I'm done playing now, I'm going back to my room."

Then she got up and went back to Ye Shu's bedroom.

"You can go back now. Don't worry about me, I can play by myself."

Qin Lili sat on the sofa, holding the handle in one hand and taking another sip of beer with the other, before speaking to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu nodded, said "You should get some rest too," and then went back to her bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, the light was on, and Xiaoxue was leaning against the headboard. A small folding table was placed on the bed, with several blank invitation cards on it.

This small table was specially bought by Xiao Nuan for Ye Shu to use when he was confined to the bed after he sprained his ankle.

Xiaoxue was diligently writing on the invitation with her head down when she saw Ye Shu come in and asked:

"Why are you back too... Just play with Sister Lili."

"No, I'm a little tired too."

Ye Shu walked to the other side of the bed, got on the bed and moved closer to Xiao Xue. She looked at Xiao Xue's hand holding the pen, and her fingertips were a little red because she was holding it too hard.

"Why did you steal these sheets? Want to practice in private?"

Xiaoxue blushed slightly, rubbed the pen in her hand, and whispered:

"I...I wanted to write an invitation for someone by hand, and I was afraid I wouldn't do it well, so I took a few extra as backups..."

"Personally? For Sister Lili?"

The person Ye Shu could think of who had the best relationship with Xiao Xue was Qin Lili.

Xiaoxue shook her head, turned to look at Ye Shu, pursed her lips, and whispered:

"I...I want to write one for my mother myself."

Ye Shu didn't understand Xiaoxue's meaning, and said:

"Do we need to do that with Mom and Dad?"

Xiaoxue shook her head again, looked at Ye Shu and said:

"No... I meant... your mother..."
