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

Daliushu Village.

You Lian's doorstep.

Huang Zhiyu came here again.

As if by telepathy, You Lian happened to be sitting at the front door basking in the sun.

When she saw Huang Zhiyu approaching, she smiled politely.

Her pupils contracted slightly when she saw the other person accompanying Huang Zhiyu.

But she quickly changed her expression and returned to her smiling look.

Then they started using sign language.

Huang Zhiyi, of course, couldn't understand it.

So she didn't even look at him, and turned her head to look at Xu Zhixiao.

She waited for Xu Zhixiao to translate for her.

In fact, Xu Zhixiao does know some sign language, but only at a basic level.

Sign language is easy to learn.

There are several hundred basic sign language words commonly used in daily communication: eating, sleeping, hello, how much money, where to go, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, etc.

Many of the actions are pictographic, easy to understand at a glance, and can be used for simple conversations in a short time.

But it's very difficult to master.

Sign language is not simply "gesturing words"; it has a complete and independent grammar and is different from normal word order.

Just like in normal word order: "I'm going to the supermarket tomorrow," in sign language it would be expressed as: "I'm going to the supermarket tomorrow."

Moreover, sign language involves more than just hand gestures; it also includes four key elements: hand shape, position, direction of movement, and facial expressions plus body language.

Many nuances in sign language, such as emotions, questions, and denials, are not expressed through the hands.

It depends on the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth shape.

It's easy for the same gesture to have completely different meanings depending on the expression.

Although Xu Zhixiao doesn't have much experience.

But her advantage lies in being a psychiatrist, who has a keen eye for capturing body movements and facial expressions.

Therefore, after seeing You Lian's sign language expression, she easily understood its meaning:

She said, "Hello, have you had lunch? You're so beautiful, like a rich girl. Your legs are so long and beautiful..."

?

Huang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment.

After all that fuss, you've just been spouting useless nonsense.

"Ask her what her relationship with Lu Yuan really is."

Huang Zhiyu gestured twice.

You Lian also started gesturing.

The two of them performed hand seals in front of Huang Zhiyu.

She said she watched Lu Yuan grow up since she was a child.

"What's her story with Lu Yuan?"

She said yes.

Huang Zizhi frowned and instantly began to sense killing intent.

This is what I've been waiting for.

"Let her talk."

She said that Lu Yuan often played with her when they were little, playing in the river, camping, and things like that.

"and then?"

"That's all."

That's all?

Huang Zhiyu's heart was pounding with anxiety.

Not right.

Based on her intuition, the appearance of her childhood sweetheart before the wedding seemed inexplicable.

It wasn't a good omen to begin with.

"Was there ever any promise that you absolutely had to marry her or him?"

After Xu Zhixiao finished translating this sentence.

You Lian smiled, looking utterly helpless.

She pointed to her mouth and ears.

The meaning is obvious: she's disabled, how could that be?

Huang Zhiyu nodded when he saw this:

"Since there's not much of a story, I'll be bold and say it: I want to hold my wedding banquet with Lu Yuan in your yard."

Dr. Xu remained calm and continued translating as usual.

You Lian readily nodded in agreement.

When leaving.

Huang Zhiyu was still wondering to himself, "Am I overthinking this?"

She shook her head and walked away.

This matter needs to be resolved quickly; she needs to find a wedding planner to come and set up the venue.

Wedding ceremony and such.

It wasn't important to Huang Zhiyu.

But weddings serve a significant purpose: to deter troublemakers.

At least it can make others give up.

"Dr. Xu, let's go, I'll take you back to Nanjiang."

Huang Zhiyu had met this Dr. Xu before.

Although his appearance alone might raise suspicions.

But Huang Zhiyu was too lazy to care about that; she disliked the backstabbing and scheming between people the most.

Once the wedding was over, everything was settled.

She was thinking about it.

"I just haven't finished my rural assignment, you should go back first."

Xu Zhixiao rejected the suggestion and pointed to the large medicine box she was carrying.

"Here's the money for you."

Huang Zhiyu readily took out four hundred dollars.

Xu Zhixiao readily accepted it.

Nobody cares about the 400 yuan, but this step has to be taken.

If Xu Zhixiao doesn't want money, then Huang Zhiyu will have to re-evaluate her.

"By the way, Dr. Xu, what does this gesture mean?"

Huang Zhiyu suddenly remembered the gestures You Lian had been making frequently yesterday.

She had planned to do it today.

If You Lian makes that gesture again, she can then ask what it means.

But today, You Lian didn't do it.

Following his memory, Huang Zhiyu raised his little finger in a very convincing manner, swinging his arm from bottom to top...

"This means goodbye."

Xu Zhixiao answered with a calm expression.

"But this gesture is so frequent, it doesn't look like waving goodbye."

Who suddenly says goodbye halfway through a sentence? And almost every sentence involves this gesture.

"Oh, I misremembered. It should express admiration and surprise, similar to what we usually say as 'That's amazing!'"

"oh oh."

After hearing such polite words, Huang Zhiyi got into the car and drove away.

Almost the instant she was out of sight.

Xu Zhixiao broke down, and her eyes became extremely interesting.

Is it meant to mock one's new spouse as a loser?

Xu Zhixiao extended her little finger.

He gestured towards Huang Zhiyu's back.

Then he turned and walked towards a house.

"Hello, ma'am, free blood pressure checks in the countryside."

...

Xu Zhixiao took out a blood pressure monitor and placed it on the table in this household.

When it comes to measuring blood pressure, it's neither too bad nor too bad.

If you have nothing else to do, most people wouldn't refuse.

During a break from taking blood pressure, Xu Zhixiao tentatively said:

"Auntie, I heard there's a deaf-mute person in our village, right?"

"right."

"How is her health? Does she need assistance?"

"Last time I asked her, she seemed to say that I didn't need to come."

"Ask?" Xu Zhixiao keenly caught a key question: "How do her neighbors usually communicate with her?"

"It's not like she can't hear me. I can just tell her to write it down."

"I see."

Xu Zhixiao smiled.

Of course, the villagers wouldn't bring up the deaf-mute girl on their own initiative.

But if you really want to know, there are a million ways to do it.

The second dumbest way is to find a sign language teacher to communicate directly.

The dumbest way is to act like a pampered young lady and directly ask the villagers.

Xu Zhixiao didn't even need to guess to know.

In what way did Huang Zhiyi communicate with the villagers?

"Auntie, where did You Lian's family go?"

"She was from out of town, but later moved to our village."

"Go stay with relatives?"

"no..."

When asked about You Lian's past, the old woman began to hesitate.

I'm torn about whether or not to say it.

"Auntie, I'm just following procedure and inquiring about whether her situation qualifies for assistance. I could ask her directly, but you said it's for our convenience, since You Lian has communication difficulties, so it's better if you explain in more detail."

Xu Zhixiao not only spoke, but she also placed her hand directly on the old woman's pulse:

"Tell me slowly, let me take your pulse."

The old lady had never received such treatment before. She was just a rural woman, and she was surprised to hear that she was being offered both work assistance and a pulse diagnosis.

She thought about it and realized it was probably a good thing, so there was no harm in telling anyone.

"This story goes back five or six years. I heard that You Lian had committed a crime and fled to our village, where she ran into the child of Old Lu's family. Later, You Lian was arrested. I heard that she had a mental illness, so she didn't have to go to jail, but she had to be put in a mental hospital."

The Lu family's child later also developed a mental illness and went to a mental hospital. I don't know what happened in between.

In short, You Lian was exonerated later, moved to our village, bought a house and land, and settled down here.

Old Lu's child goes to school in the city.

We thought to ourselves that the Lu family was already poor, and although You Lian couldn't speak, she was at least good-looking and we had feelings for each other. We thought that the two of them would get married sooner or later.

Who would have thought a new bride would arrive?

Anyone who has chatted with the village aunties knows this.

Once that old lady starts talking, it's hard for her to shut up.

She can talk to you from day to night.

"Did Lu Yuan live in the village before he was admitted to the mental hospital?"

"Yes, he's probably been in the mental hospital for about two years and hasn't been back."

"I understand, thank you, ma'am."

Xu Zhixiao chatted with the old lady for a while, giving her some instructions before leaving.

Standing on the main street of Daliushu Village.

Her brain immediately started working.

"So Lu Yuan still hasn't remembered You Lian?"

Xu Zhixiao discovered some key points.

It's very simple, Lu Yuan didn't mention this during his psychotherapy sessions.

She quickly grasped the situation.

It was she who brought up the matter of a fake marriage to fool her grandfather, which made Lu Yuan think that this matter should be put on the agenda.

So Lu Yuan chose that girl from Taiwan.

If Lu Yuan doesn't remember You Lian, then this plan would indeed work.

It's likely that the Taiwanese girl has some special qualities, such as "making a sham marriage easier" or "having less impact."

But if Lu Yuan remembers You Lian...

Then this plan simply won't work.

Even if it's convenient for you, Huang Zhiyu, to have a fake marriage, at most it's just that "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and parents don't care," or you might as well be an orphan, right?

Is it possible to find a mute older sister who can help?

It's so convenient that you don't even need to have a wedding.

Anyway, Lu Yuan and You Lian share a set of social relationships; his neighbors are also her neighbors.

It's possible that even Lu Yuan's only relative, his grandfather, is also "serving two purposes."

You Lian has probably been calling him "Grandpa" for many years.

You Lian simply moved the quilt onto Lu Yuan's bed and decided to just close the door and live her life as usual.

Thinking about this...

Xu Zhixiao happened to turn her head and glance at You Lian.

You Lian happened to come out and glance at her.

In the vastness of the world, the two people who should have met long ago exchanged a glance.
