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

It's not an easy thing to settle down in the village.

She can stay in Lu Yuan's bed for the night.

But she can't hide at Lu Yuan's house every day, or Lu Yuan's grandfather might find out.

So she got up before dawn and woke up Lu Yuan:

"When it gets light, go to the work supplies store in town and buy me a set of clothes and a big bag."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Then she went to the riverbank alone to wait until dawn, when Lu Yuan brought her clothes and she changed into them.

She was also a child who grew up in the village, and she knew that there were few people in the village, and most of the households knew each other.

Compared to the city, hiding someone in the village is actually the most difficult thing.

If someone suddenly appears, the news will definitely spread like wildfire.

Even if few people come to this riverbank, it will probably be noticed sooner or later.

So she bought work clothes and a large backpack.

If anyone asks, she says she is a student from an agricultural university in the city who is here to do research.

Keep it a secret for as long as you can.

You Lian has also figured it out.

Actually, it all depends on whether they want to catch her or not. If they do, she definitely won't be able to escape.

I can only hide here for ten days or half a month at most.

Because this village is very close to the mountain resort.

The investigation will definitely start from here.

If she finds out that someone is investigating, she will drown herself.

If she hides for a while and finds that no one cares about this, then she will leave and never come back.

You Lian sat listlessly by the river, unable to access the internet because her SIM card had been removed and thrown away.

She could only watch Lu Yuan play games. The game looked familiar to her because he was playing "Story of Seasons".

"Didn't you say you don't play farming games?"

"I downloaded it at a classmate's house in town this morning."

Is this the male version or the female version?

Lu Yuan looked up and gave her a look that said he was mentally challenged.

"Okay, looks like it's the male version."

This game has male and female versions because you can farm, increase affection, and get married.

In the male version, the target of the romance is a girl, while in the female version, the target of the romance is a boy.

The gameplay is similar to most farming games on the market: fishing, mining, gathering, and then giving gifts to girls to complete tasks, increase their affection, and get married.

"There are hidden characters here."

You Lian suddenly felt wide awake when she mentioned playing games.

Because her painful childhood was almost entirely spent stealing game consoles from her family's tuition fees.

I never expected that the video game console she played in her childhood would still be played by Lu Yuan's generation, even though she is only about five or six years older than Lu Yuan.

At the time, she felt that she was already an old woman compared to Lu Yuan.

"What hidden character?"

Lu Yuan's gaming addiction was boundless; he became addicted very quickly.

The light in their eyes when they heard about the hidden character was no less than when they heard about the chance to quickly defeat the boss.

"It seems to be the goddess of the spring; it can be unlocked after completing all the tasks."

"Can I cut it after unlocking it?"

"Idiot, it's about you marrying her!"

You Lian couldn't help but want to knock this silly kid on the head; all he ever thought about was chopping and hacking.

Lu Yuan's mind was indeed full of chopping and hacking, and when he heard about marriage, his face immediately showed a bored expression.

Seeing his expression, You Lian reminded him:

"The goddess of the spring is very beautiful."

Lu Yuan gave her another look as if she were mentally challenged.

I picked up my MP5 player and showed it to her.

This game is a pixel-style game; the screen is made up of pixel blocks.

He said, "What makes it look beautiful?"

It's really hard to tell whether pixel-style games are pretty or not.

"Hmm..." You Lian scratched her head, pondering the question.

The warm sunlight fell on her fair neck, and the faint scent of rice paddies could be smelled in the air. Her body, which was about 167 cm tall, was half-lying on the shore, making her full breasts appear even fuller. Her camouflage pants, which she had just changed into, were rolled up, and her feet were swinging in the water.

She thought of an answer and immediately picked up her phone to type it to Lu Yuan: "As beautiful as me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at her, then lowered his head and said:

"pity."

"What's a pity? You said I was pretty yesterday!"

"Good-looking character models should be used in battle scenes, otherwise it would be a waste."

"Who says strategy guides don't have battle scenes?"

You Lian didn't know if she had lost her mind, but she kept wanting to argue with a silly child.

In short, she has to take this seriously today.

"The one on MP5 is an emulator. To play it on a computer, you can download a resource pack, which includes battle animations."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately became interested.

He said, "Is it turn-based? Or landscape mode? Or perhaps..."

"Um...no, it's a post-marriage battle anime."

You Lian didn't know how to explain it to a dazed child.

The battle animations in the resource pack don't have red blood; they're just pure yellow.

"What are post-marriage battle anime like?"

"Attack the flower's stamen."

You Lian pointed to the bright roses by the river, then turned her head away and said nothing more.

She needs to think about it.

What kind of lie should I make up to fool this child?

She, who usually speaks fluently without hesitation, was truly stumped by the question this time.

Just as she turned her head, she saw a figure slowly walking towards her from the riverbank.

He was a villager who came over to check on people by the river.

"Who are you?"

"I am a student at an agricultural university who is working on my graduation thesis."

You Lian pointed to her mouth, then picked up her phone, typed something, and handed it to the villager.

"I see." The villager nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "What's there to research in our village?"

"My graduation thesis focuses on the distribution and ecological habits of roses around Nanjiang, so I came here to take a look."

Yu Lian's preparations were not in vain.

A fair-skinned, pretty girl who was also mute was standing by the river, wearing a work camouflage outfit.

Aside from students, I can't think of any other direction.

Of course, You Lian's preparations didn't stop there; she continued typing:

Are you a villager here?

"Yes."

"Could you please take me for a walk in the mountains every day? I don't know the way. I can pay you two hundred a day."

The villagers were immediately overjoyed, as two hundred a day was no small sum.

Moreover, this was a windfall, and going into the mountains wasn't difficult for him, since there weren't any large animals in the mountains.

But before he agreed.

You Lian typed another message first: "Sorry, I didn't think it through. You may not have time every day. I'll go to the village tomorrow and ask again."

"No, no need."

The villagers immediately shook their heads, just like rattles.

How can we let the villagers know about this? If they find out, won't someone be stealing his job?

"I have elderly parents and young children to support, and our family is quite poor. I can guarantee that I'll go into the mountains every day..."

The villagers even started appealing to people's emotions.

You Lian nodded. She had won; this was the result she wanted.

If you ask him not to tell the villagers, he will definitely tell them.

If you take the initiative to ask someone in the village for help, he'll be afraid someone else will take his job, so he'll keep it to himself.

This will slow down the time it takes for the villagers to find out about her.

The later you find out, the better.

If she is discovered again in the short term, this villager can also vouch for her identity.

The best of both worlds.

"Young lady, are you related to the Lu family?"

The villager pointed to Lu Yuan, who was still engrossed in playing the game, and said this without lowering his voice.

You Lian shook her head.

"Then I advise you to stay away from him. If the villagers see you two together, they'll inevitably gossip. And if those debt collectors hear that you have a rich relative in Lu Yuan, they'll definitely come after you."

You Lian didn't know much about Lu Yuan's family.

However, the way the villagers spoke so openly made her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

She subconsciously placed her hand on Lu Yuan's head and patted it.

He tilted his head and gave the villager a disdainful look.

I've said too much.

Knowing that their benefactor was dissatisfied, the villagers quickly apologized and ran away.

You Lian originally wanted to say a few words of comfort to Lu Yuan, but it's inevitable that a child would feel bad after hearing such words.

But just as she was about to type, she suddenly realized something.

It seems she's given herself away.

She had told Lu Yuan that she was someone who had come to stay at a relative's house.

Last night he not only stayed at Lu Yuan's house, but today he also told the villagers that he was a student who came to the mountains...

Oh no, a major blunder has occurred.

You Lian was pondering how to remedy this difficult problem.

One lie requires many more lies to cover it up, but that results in an endless stream of lies.

She instinctively didn't want to lie anymore.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Lu Yuan suddenly stood up:

"Are you done with your work?"

You Lian nodded.

"Then you can live in my secret base."

"emmm."

A hesitant sound came from You Lian's throat.

She didn't know if Lu Yuan was just imagining her lies, or...

"I believe you," Lu Yuan said. "We're playing a game, and you're like the big sister next door... no, the fountain goddess. I need to complete the task to max out your favorability."

You Lian stared at him blankly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Throughout her life of deception, she traveled to all corners of the country.

Lu Yuan was the easiest person she had ever fooled.

It was a lie riddled with holes.

But he believed in her.

"I can take you to stay at a secret base, and I can bring you food and pretty flowers. I've seen this in games where you raise your affection level."

Lu Yuan felt he had figured out the trick to the game, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, You Lian felt very uncomfortable and suddenly felt ashamed.

I just got into a real argument with a child.

"Sorry, the road is long, so there are no battle scenes for the Goddess of the Spring."

"Yes, I believe you. I'll try to download it from the print shop in town later."

"That was just something I said when I was deliberately trying to argue with you; it was my sister trying to pick a fight."

Lu Yuan shook his head, stood in front of the woods, and reached out to pull out the pants that were stuck in his buttocks.

A small, thin girl, tilting her head and saying blankly:

"To be honest, you have to be serious. Before, when I wanted to discuss games with my mom, she would always say, 'You're right.' But my mom was lying."
