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

You Lian actually boarded that bus.

Because it happened so suddenly, she got into the car in a panic.

But after only one stop to the next town, she got off the bus.

Because she didn't know where she was going.

In fact, the world is vast, and she can go anywhere—to all seven continents, four oceans, and nearly two hundred countries.

When she first started earning money, she vowed to travel to every inch of the world.

No matter where you leave her, she'll find a way to survive.

But after looking up at the newly risen moon, she got off the bus.

"Nowhere is the moon rounder than the one at home."

What does the vastness of the world have to do with her?

Is the moon in Europe rounder than the one in Daliushu Village?

You Lian couldn't stop thinking about that brat.

"Every con artist will eventually be deceived by one thing, and that is God."

Because being trusted and needed are emotional needs that people crave intensely.

But the con artist didn't have any of that; when she finally reached the end, she was surrounded by hatred and anger.

She could only yearn for a merciful God to bestow the most compassionate mercy, to overcome the wrath of those who hated her, and to embrace her life like the steadfast earth.

So when a con artist starts deceiving herself, it means she has reached the pinnacle of her career.

Because God himself is fictional, believing in God is simply deceiving oneself.

These are the exact words You Lian once said to Lu Yuan by the tent.

Because on one occasion, when You Lian moved around and startled Lu Yuan awake.

Lu Yuan asked her, "Why did you have to put your hand inside her clothes?"

Because he had already turned over.

You Lian turned him over again and stuffed his hands into her clothes.

He said, feeling wronged, that his left arm was numb and he wanted to turn over.

You Lian stroked his head, telling him to bear with it, but she wouldn't let him take it away.

Then I told him all this.

These were, of course, You Lian's heartfelt words.

Because she felt that Lu Yuan was the work of that god, and that this brat unconditionally believed in and accepted her.

Therefore, she could not sever the emotional bond with Lu Yuan.

The gesture of placing your hands on your chest while asleep is similar to going to church regularly for prayer.

You Lian could no longer distinguish between the act of putting her hands inside her clothes to sleep.

Did Lu Yuan want to touch her, or did she need Lu Yuan to touch her?

So when You Lian sat on the bus, she recalled Lu Yuan's expression when he woke up the next day and didn't see her by the river.

She couldn't accept it.

She couldn't accept that Lu Yuan called her a big liar.

So she went back to the village.

But when she walked back to Daliushu Village, she hesitated again.

Reason and emotion begin to battle in the brain.

If she hopes that no one will pursue her and she can continue her plan, then she can ask Grandpa Lu to help her rent a house and land.

That would easily involve cover-up.

She didn't know what to do, so she sat in front of Lu Yuan's house all night.

For the past two days, she has been watching him from a distance where he is out of sight.

Watching him run to the tent by the river again and again.

You Lian wanted to impulsively go out several times, but she didn't.

Instead, she began to sort out her thoughts, which led to her current state of standing in front of the police, surrendering without resistance.

...

The moment You Lian came out, she naturally became the center of attention.

In the darkness of the night, her eyebrows curved and her eyes held a slight smile.

His pale expression and already sickly white skin only added to his sorrow.

She raised her hands and said nothing.

With both hands raised, she was unable to speak.

Perhaps this is the downside of being mute.

If a normal person is arrested, whether they have actually committed a crime or not, they will inevitably have to say a few words to defend themselves.

This left onlookers with some questions about whether there was truly an injustice.

But You Lian didn't have that chance when she was handcuffed.

The whispers around my ears, along with the strong wind that rose at dusk, blew the hair that was scattered around my ears.

She accepted it all with a smile.

She didn't react negatively or look at the doctor with hostility, even though the doctor was staring at her with a provocative gaze.

She didn't waste any time looking at meaningless things.

She turned her head and looked at a vast, empty field.

There should be a field of rapeseed flowers there.

At that moment, a nursery rhyme from her hometown, "A Star in the Sky," echoed in her mind.

"A star in the sky, a study on earth; the study door is never opened, Anu cries because she loves to eat fried dough."

The last time she sang this song, she was no different from an ordinary person and could still speak.

Then, when she was nine, her older sister was raped and committed suicide. She began to lose her voice, then left home to study, dropped out of university early to work and enter the workforce... and then she accidentally stabbed someone in a fit of anger...

As she thought about it, she began to cry, quietly weeping.

She stood handcuffed next to the police car, surrounded by increasingly loud discussions, while the police watched her intently.

The north wind blew the branches of the big willow tree behind her, lifted the hair at her temples, dried the tears that streamed down her cheeks, and dispersed the sobbing sounds coming from her throat.

This incredibly fragmented scene left people stunned, and even the surrounding discussions gradually faded away.

I felt pity for him.

That's her unparalleled talent; she has a captivating charm just by standing there.

That's part of her skill.

She's a fraud; she's a master at creating a persona for herself.

Every time she cried in the past, it was to create a persona.

During the fortune-telling, because she was mute, she said she had five deficiencies and three lacks, and then, with a charming shed of tears, everyone was willing to pay more for the divination...

When acting as a purchasing agent and signing for documents, because she was a beautiful mute, everyone was willing to honestly believe her when she shed a tear...

When she was doing online sales, she even claimed to be mute, saying that if she shed tears, she would create an inspirational and successful persona, and those stay-at-home moms would idolize her...

But not today; her crying was just simple crying.

She cried because she had finally found the place where "the moon was roundest" that her master had mentioned.

If she was going to run away, she should have done so a month ago.

Therefore, surrendering is not giving up.

Instead, confessing her guilt was the only way for her to return to this place openly and legitimately to grow rapeseed flowers.

She looked at the child in the crowd who was sticking his neck out.

She didn't know when she would see him again, or even if they would ever meet again.

She was going to mouth "Wait for me."

But what if we never get to see it?

She didn't want to lie to him.

So she didn't say anything, except when the police asked her if she pleaded guilty.

She nodded.

She saw it out of the corner of her eye.

That child with his neck stiffened.

When he saw her nod and confess, disbelief appeared in his eyes.

She desperately wanted to explain, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.

She couldn't say anything.

She could only close her eyes, turn around, and follow the police into the car.

The stars in the sky are silent.

The north wind blows, leaving only a silhouette.
