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

It might rain in the south of the city these next couple of days. The air pressure is noticeably low today, and the air is stuffy and humid, making it really uncomfortable to walk outside.

The weather forecast on his phone showed that the next few days would be sunny, but Ye Shu had long since given up hope on the weather forecast for Nancheng.

He's been in Nancheng for several years now, and the weather forecast has never been accurate.

Last time was the same. His phone said it was sunny, and he believed it and didn't bring an umbrella. But less than ten minutes after he went out, good heavens, the rain started pouring down like a burst water pipe. By the time he got back to his dorm, his underwear was soaked.

When he took out his phone, the weather icon had turned into a downpour right in front of him.

Do I need you to tell me that?

What happened to the weather forecast? I've already gotten soaked and you're only now telling me it's going to rain?

What did that skit say again?

You know to turn when your car crashes into a wall, you know to buy stocks when they go up, you know to repent when you're sentenced for a mistake, and you only remember to wipe your nose when it gets in your mouth! You thought it was yogurt?!

We've gone off-topic...

Ye Shu shook her head and looked down at the hand she was holding.

He held Xiao Nuan's hand in his, cool as if she were holding a piece of jade. It was a small comfort in the damp and stuffy street.

But to be honest, going out for a walk in this weather is really a pain. Ye Shu even regretted coming out and thought it would be better to stay home, hold Xiao Nuan, and lie on the sofa to sleep.

Or... I should get a driver's license when I have some free time, and buy a car.

From now on, when I go out with them, I can just get in the car and leave, even in wind and rain, which will be very convenient.

Ye Shu put getting his driver's license on his mind, and then he noticed Xiao Nuan pulling him toward the subway station.

Ye Shu was puzzled. Where were they going? Xiao Nuan hadn't said anything, and he hadn't asked either.

"Xiao Nuan, where are we going? Why do we have to take the subway?"

"Let's go to the library."

Xiao Nuan replied.

library?

Ye Shu was a little surprised. What was there to do in this old library? He couldn't sit there, couldn't speak or make a sound, and besides, he wasn't much of a reader; he'd probably just use his phone there, and he hadn't brought a charger…

However, this is indeed something Xiaonuan would like, and since Xiaonuan has finally taken the initiative to make a request, we can't dampen her enthusiasm.

Moreover, he really didn't want to refuse Xiao Nuan anymore. Given Xiao Nuan's personality, if he refused, she probably wouldn't bring it up again.

"Okay, let's go to the library. Anyway... I haven't read a book in ages..."

That's true. The last time he seriously read a book was when he suddenly felt like studying hard during his university years.

"The library is air-conditioned. Today, the outdoor temperature feels like 32 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is 75%. From a health perspective, indoor activities are better than outdoor activities."

Hearing Xiao Nuan's explanation, Ye Shu smiled:

"So you had this planned all along, didn't you?"

"Um."

It was a weekday, and since the two of them left home a bit late, the subway wasn't crowded, and there were quite a few empty seats.

Just as Ye Shu was about to find a seat, Xiao Nuan pulled him back.

Then she shrank into the corner between the car door and the armrest, leaning against the partition of the seat, and pulled Ye Shu to stand in front of her, sandwiching herself inside.

Ye Shu didn't understand. Why not sit down when there are seats available? He gestured with his chin to the row of empty seats next to him:

"Xiao Nuan, there's a seat."

"I won't sit."

Xiao Nuan shook her head, still holding Ye Shu's hand, and remained motionless.

Sure, if you're willing to stand, then stand with her.

Ye Shu reached out and grabbed the handrail next to her, thus encircling Xiao Nuan in the small triangular area in front of her.

From Yunduanyuan to Nancheng Municipal Library, there are a total of eleven stops.

Eleven stations...

It was alright at first, there weren't many people, and you could stretch your legs a bit when you got tired of standing.

However, after passing two tourist attractions, a huge number of people boarded the train, and the carriage suddenly became crowded.

The crowd was so dense that Ye Shu and Xiao Nuan were unable to move, let alone rest their legs for a while.

Ye Shu wanted to look down to see how Xiao Nuan was doing and whether she had been squeezed.

Xiao Nuan seemed to be fine, remaining expressionless and leaning against the wall without moving.

But Ye Shu saw more than just her face; she also noticed that her neckline seemed to have slipped down quite a bit, revealing a thin bra strap, which was probably the strap of her bra.

Although no one around them was paying attention to them, Ye Shu still reached out and pulled Xiao Nuan's collar up, then held on to it without letting go.

He pinched the wide collar into a tight collar.

Xiao Nuan looked down at his hand gripping her collar, then looked up at Ye Shu's face and blinked, but didn't say anything.

Ye Shu thought she saw Xiao Nuan's lips curve slightly.

Impossible, I must be seeing things.

After enduring several more stops, I finally heard a voice as beautiful as heavenly music:

"Next stop, Namjoi City Library. The carriage will open from the left door. Passengers, please disembark..."

The car door beeped twice, opening right from Ye Shu and his companion's side.

Ye Shu pulled Xiao Nuan downstairs, and the people behind her stood up and squeezed towards the door.

Ye Shu gritted his teeth and pulled Xiao Nuan out of the car. He squatted down on the spot. He had been standing in the same position for too long, and he felt that his knees were about to give way.

As he gently shrugged his knees, he glanced back at the people still squeezing out of the car. Was this also part of your plan, Xiao Nuan?

Ye Shu was resting his legs when he looked up and saw that Xiao Nuan had also squatted down in the same position as him, right in front of his face.

Because the white T-shirt was too big, Xiao Nuan casually lifted the corner of the shirt and looked at herself.

People getting off the bus nearby looked at them like they were idiots, wondering what these two were doing squatting there. Were they cosplaying as stone pillars?

Ye Shu found Xiao Nuan's appearance adorable.

The neckline of her white T-shirt was askew again, revealing the shoulder strap. A small lock of her hair hung down, but she didn't care. She just squatted there and pounded her knees twice with both hands.

"Does your leg hurt too?"

"Yes, my knee hurts."

Xiao Nuan nodded, then pounded it twice more.

Ye Shu was still waiting for Xiao Nuan to continue, but then she realized there was no follow-up.

This isn't right. Ye Shu felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, after Xiao Nuan mentioned knee pain, she would definitely follow up with some analysis such as "due to prolonged standing causing a shift in the center of gravity, uneven stress on the knee joint, poor local blood circulation, lactic acid buildup, etc."

Why not today? Just four words: knee pain.

Ye Shu stared at her for two seconds, then stood up and said to Xiao Nuan:

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"Need not."

Xiao Nuan also stood up and shook her head.

Ye Shu didn't press the matter, and with a smile, extended her hand and asked again:

"Then shall we hold hands and walk?"

"it is good."

Xiao Nuan took Ye Shu's hand, but unlike before when Ye Shu held her hand, this time Xiao Nuan also held Ye Shu's hand in return.

Ye Shu held her hand and followed the people exiting the station. Xiao Nuan quietly followed beside him, never cutting in front or falling behind, always sticking close to him.

As they reached the escalator, Ye Shu turned around and saw that Xiao Nuan was also sweating. It was a stuffy day, but she remained silent. Ye Shu then took the initiative and asked:

"Xiao Nuan, do you want some ice cream later?"

"Eat it with crushed nuts sprinkled on top."

"it is good."
