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

"Brother Xu, this is definitely my son's fault." Lu Nanbei put his arm around Old Xu's shoulder and said very sincerely, "I will definitely teach him a lesson later."

"Are you really capable of raising your son?"

Old Xu looked at Lu Nanbei's bruised and swollen face, then glanced strangely at Lu Yuan lying on the ground.

"How could a father not be able to educate his son?"

When Old Xu heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Actually, the resentment in Lao Xu's heart really needs an elder from Lao Lu's family to resolve.

Because in this land, the opinions of younger generations often carry little weight.

"Brother Xu, I'll treat you to dinner tonight as an apology. As for matters of the heart, let the younger generation handle them."

"OK."

Old Xu wouldn't actually kill Lu Yuan.

After venting his anger, he'll eventually know when to stop.

He waved his hand and went back to the yard to find his wife.

Only the father and son, who had been separated for a long time, remained at Lao Lu's doorstep.

"Long time no see, son."

Lu Yuan lay on the ground, panting heavily without making a sound.

He is tired.

I'm tired of playing.

"If you're going to die, die somewhere else. What are you doing back here?"

"My son is getting married, how can I not come back?"

"A father's desire to attend his son's wedding comes with conditions."

"What are the conditions?"

"Pay up the money."

"I have no money."

"Then get lost."

Lu Yuan and Lu Nanbei have nothing to talk about.

It's been so many years.

He almost forgot what his father's name was.

"Son, I think you should seriously consider your relationship situation."

"I don't need you to teach me."

...

The noise subsided.

The stage set-up workers left, and the villagers all went home to sleep.

Lu Nanbei didn't know why he came back.

But Lu Yuan thought that this man was probably just trying to freeload off his daughter-in-law because he heard she was rich.

There's no need to pay attention to it.

So when Lu Yuan returned to You Lian's doorstep again.

All you can see is an extremely imposing stance.

Huang Zhiyu leaned against the door, his arms wrapped around his shoulders, his narrow eyes looking up at the sky.

When I saw that the road was far away.

She got up and walked out, speaking into Lu Yuan's ear:

"The wedding is set for two days from now. You don't need to do anything, just show up."

After leaving those words, Huang Zhiyu departed.

They didn't even say goodbye.

Standing on the other side of the gate was Xu Zhixiao, who was waiting for her parents in the courtyard.

After waiting for Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, and the old man to finish their conversation, they also came out.

Xu's father still had that cold expression when he looked at Lu Yuan.

When Xu Zhixiao walked up to her, he whispered in her ear, "My parents will stay in Nanjiang until your wedding is over, so if you've made up your mind, come to my house before my parents leave."

But please arrive as early as possible, to give me some time to change stages.

Xu Zhixiao smiled, stretched, and turned to leave.

She didn't say goodbye either.

She only left one sentence: "I don't want to have my wedding on this kind of Western-style stage."

Xu Zhixiao also left.

Only Lu Yuan and You Lian remained in the courtyard.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to go in and say a few words.

But You Lian closed the door:

"Come back to my house for a chat when there's no stage left in the yard."

You Lian wrote on his palm through the door:

"It wouldn't be good if one of your wives misunderstood."

You Lian turned around and went back into her room.

Now, Lu Yuan stood alone at the gate of the courtyard, instantly becoming a solitary figure.

He scratched his head, before he could react.

The phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

...

"Why did you choose a place like this?"

Lu Yuan arrived at the entrance of a quiet bar and saw Shang Qingya, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"This is my first time here too, and I'm too scared to go in alone."

Shang Qingya wore a slightly nervous smile as she curiously peered inside.

Lu Yuan took the lead and went in first.

Shang Qingya followed behind him, tugging at his clothes.

The two people sat at the table.

Shang Qingya waved her hand generously and said in a very hearty manner:

"I bought a voucher, all you can drink."

"Tell me, what choice do you want me to make?"

"What choice?"

"I'm going to marry Huang Zhiyu."

"oh oh."

Shang Qingya already knew about this news, so she wasn't surprised at all.

What truly surprised her was what Lu Yuan said.

"You don't think I'm here to force you to make a choice, do you?"

"Oh?"

Having just experienced that series of events, Lu Yuan looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"The gap between me and them is too obvious."

Shang Qingya stuck out her tongue and said very bluntly:

"They are all adults with stable lives. Compared to them, I seem like an innocent child."

"Of course they're naive at that age."

"But you're more like an adult."

Shang Qingya seemed to have been thinking a lot silently as well.

Naïve and mature are not really related, as long as both people are naïve or both people are mature.

But if one is naive and the other is mature, then it will be very difficult.

"You look annoyed?"

"It's really annoying."

"Because of them?"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

What really annoyed him was that the game didn't give him any hints for the second playthrough.

If someone were to carefully observe Lu Yuan's life, they would discover a problem.

After Lu Yuan lost his memory, he was almost completely lost in his daily life.

He didn't know what he was supposed to do.

And obviously.

The author of the Yellow Sponge Diary was the person who observed Lu Yuan's life in the most detail.

"Actually, after we reunited in Nanjiang, you were mostly like this, just sitting there blankly."

Shang Qingya stirred the ice in her wine glass and said softly:

"But when the club was established and we set up a stall at the school gate, you were like you were on steroids."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Of course, they're pumped up!

Because at that time the game told him that "the mission conditions must be met" in order to unlock the fourth simulation.

He has to pass the level!

"But now you seem listless again. What's the reason?"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

They didn't say anything.

If You Lian were sitting opposite him right now, she would definitely know what that expression meant.

This means that Lu Yuan won't have any games to play.

Because his life is almost entirely driven by games, this has been his lifestyle since childhood.

However, this frustrating second playthrough didn't give any hints at all.

Do you feel guilty because of their feelings for you?

"There will inevitably be some emotions, but they are nothing more than some side stories."

The fact that Shang Qingya could ask this question shows that she still doesn't understand Lu Yuan enough.

Lu Yuan's life revolves around the word "game".

His goal was simply to complete one game after another.

Because Shang Qingya didn't know him well enough, she was surprised when she heard the result.

She lowered her head again.

Not feeling guilty for them means not feeling guilty for myself either.

In particular, Shang Qingya noticed Lu Yuan's conflicted expression, which resulted in her gripping the cup tightly.

She seemed to be hesitating about something.

It wasn't until Lu Yuan got up to go to the restroom that she turned her gaze to Lu Yuan's wine glass.

"No matter how conflicted you are, you probably won't choose me, right?"

She sighed, finally letting go of her hesitation and inner conflict.

He picked up the wine glass on Lu Yuan's table.
