The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

"What did you say to my grandfather?"

"You taught me to tell the truth."

"Why does that old man keep saying he wants to go to Taiwan?"

When Lu Yuan returned from buying groceries at the convenience store, he was already considering several possible scenarios that might occur at home.

There might be an awkward silence because the old man simply can't understand Huang Zhiyi's strange logic.

They might argue because the old man is stubborn, and Huang Zhiyu is even more stubborn.

Most likely, Huang Zhiyi simply isn't liked by the old man...

Because Old Lu had long held a prejudice against the concept of "a daughter-in-law who enters the family."

After all, he had experienced a daughter-in-law who abandoned her child and ran away.

Therefore, he will definitely treat his granddaughter-in-law with absolute rigor.

But to his utter surprise...

The moment he returned home, he was surprised to see two people chatting happily, and all they could hear were words like "death," "funeral," "coffin," and even "suona."

For a moment, Lu Yuan thought he was dead.

Is this Daliushu Village or the underworld?

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Old Lu immediately asked, "When are you going to Taiwan? Take me with you."

Lu Yuan looked completely bewildered.

He pulled Huang Zhiyu to another small kitchen in the yard and asked a question.

Faced with Lu Yuan's question, Huang Zhiyu explained everything in detail, and then asked in return, "Didn't you tell me to tell the truth?"

After listening, Lu Yuan slapped his forehead.

It's outrageous, but it seems like it might work.

At least the old man didn't object...

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

Lu Yuan stuffed firewood into the stove, lit it, and then bent down to blow on it twice.

Seeing that the wind direction was wrong, I went to the yard to get the blower.

When they returned, they found Huang Zhiyu imitating him in a very convincing way.

He leaned over the stove to let the air blow on him.

Lu Yuan didn't stop her, because the stove fire would teach everyone who believed in their lung capacity a lesson.

Huang Zhiyu tried to blow on it but couldn't get it to light, so he had to raise his head, revealing his face blackened by smoke.

Lu Yuan took out his phone at the right moment and adjusted the selfie mode.

He showed Huang Zhiyi his dark face.

Huang Zhiyu carefully knocked on it, then suddenly grinned.

She suddenly started making expressions at the camera and said, "It's fun."

"I'm done playing, I need to cook now."

"oh."

Huang Zhiyi withdrew.

She squatted blankly in the yard, and no one paid her any attention.

She got used to it, since she hardly spoke most of the time.

Until Lu Yuan walked up to her and built a small stove with bricks.

I don't know where they found it, but they put a dusty, broken pot on it.

I grabbed a handful of weeds from the little garden my grandfather planted and threw them into the pot.

Huang Zhiyu smiled.

She picked up a pot and started boiling water and cooking herbs with great practiced skill, even picking up small insects that passed by and throwing them directly into the pot.

A nightmare for insect lovers.

They cooked like this until sunset, and then the three of them sat down at the table to eat.

I turned off the lights and washed up early.

Lu Yuan was brushing his teeth in the yard, and then picked up his toothbrush cup and poured water into his mouth.

Halfway through his drink, she reached out from the side to stop him, snatched the cup, and used the remaining half to rinse her mouth.

Lu Yuan tilted his head back and started gurgling towards the sky, and she followed suit.

Lu Yuan's family did not prepare any other rooms for Huang Zhiyi to stay in.

Even if she cleans up, she's unlikely to move in.

After washing up, she took off her clothes and crawled into bed.

Completely removed.

Because she hadn't planned to stay overnight, she hadn't brought any pajamas.

Her smooth shoulders and upper back were exposed, her back to Lu Yuan.

She fell asleep just like that.

Grandpa Lu was still wondering outside.

According to old traditions and customs, it's not advisable for couples to live together before marriage.

He knocked on the door and called Lu Yuan out:

"That's not a good idea. The girl's parents will have objections if they find out."

Lu Yuan glanced back and whispered to his grandfather, "She has no parents."

Old Lu can understand the fact that he doesn't have parents.

Lu Yuan doesn't have parents either.

"Who is her guardian? Don't she have grandparents, uncles, or anything like that?"

"no."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

He didn't know if any of Huang Zhiyu's relatives were still alive in the world.

But even if they were alive, it would probably be no different from being dead.

If we really have to be particular about the guardianship role...

He was actually Huang Zhiyu's guardian.

"Then who should you meet the parents with?"

"This step is not included."

Even though Old Lu had lived half his life, he couldn't help but sigh when he heard these words.

He wanted to say something but ultimately didn't, shook his head and left.

Lu Yuan pushed the door open again and went inside.

The sound of the door opening startled Huang Zhiyu awake. Still half-asleep, she asked:

"Lu Yuan, are weddings fun here?"

"It's fun." Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It's just accompanying me to a ceremony for fun."

"I know, I won't be your wife, I'll be your older sister."

Their conversation... was actually quite eerie.

If anyone else were standing here, they wouldn't understand.

If you look at the behavior, it becomes even more incomprehensible.

First, Lu Yuan inexplicably called her and said he wanted to get married.

Lu Yuan's wedding was a sham from the start.

Huang Zhiyu was practically the only choice, because it would be simpler to have a fake marriage with her.

It doesn't involve parents or dowry, and it won't affect her future life.

Secondly, Huang Zhiyu thought it was fun and came for no apparent reason.

Because all that remained in her life was endless boredom.

No one even spoke to her. She finally managed to catch Shang Qingya and wanted to chat for a while.

Shang Qingya kept stuffing pineapple into her mouth.

Lu Yuan asked curiously:

"Huang Zhiyu, what have you been doing since I died?"

"Boring," Huang Zhiyu replied.

"Haven't you thought about finding something to do on your own?"

"I have nothing to do."

Huang Zhiyi, perhaps feeling hot, stuck half of his long leg out from under the covers.

She said, "I've tried them, and they're all boring."

"What isn't boring?"

"If you ask me to hang out, I won't be bored."

"Anything is fine with me?"

"You have to make me think this is fun."

Huang Zhiyu began to speak:

"For example, I actually have no interest in marrying you at all, but the thought of Shang Qingya crying if we get married makes me feel amused."

"Awesome!"

Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something.

She asked with some confusion, "Then why are you so insistent on being called 'older sister'?"

"Because in this world, apart from family, all other relationships can be unilaterally dissolved, but family relationships cannot."

Lu Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

The term "older sister" hides a fear of being abandoned.

A relationship requires the consent of both parties.

However, only one person's consent is needed to break up, and the same applies to other relationships.

Perhaps only family members have relatively stable relationships.

However, there seem to be news reports of fathers severing ties with their sons.

It seems like family members can be unilaterally severed, right?

Are there any relationships in this world that cannot be unilaterally dissolved?

With nothing to do, Lu Yuan lay in bed and started to daydream.

After thinking it over and over...

He discovered that there seemed to be no relationship in the world that was absolutely stable.

No wonder so many people like to keep dogs.

"Why don't you get a puppy?"

"dislike."

"Having a puppy is great." Lu Yuan listed several advantages of having a puppy for him:

"First of all, the puppy will feel bored when it is at home by itself, but it will get excited and jump up to play as soon as its owner comes home."

Secondly, find something fun to do with the puppy, like tossing a frisbee. If the puppy finds it fun, it will run off.

Furthermore, puppies are aggressive towards strangers, but they are adorable and obedient to their owners, practically offering themselves up on their backs.

Finally, the puppy is absolutely loyal and terrified of being abandoned; if she is abandoned, she will whimper.

Lu Yuan listed a bunch of the puppy's good points.

But when she turned around, she met Huang Zhiyu's deep, unfathomable eyes.

She said, "Do you think I need to keep a creature that looks exactly like me?"

How could you say that about yourself?

Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and quickly ended the topic.

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead, prepared to turn over, and immediately began to pretend to be asleep.

"Lu Yuan, actually I also feel that this relationship with my sister isn't very solid. I think we could draft a contract..."

"I will be your younger brother for life."
