After talking about the game for a while, Lu Baiyuan, prompted by Xu Gui, finally brought up her in-game romantic partner.
As mentioned before, Lu Baiyuan was the top-spending "rich woman" in the game, notoriously extravagant, and many players wanted to get to know her, resulting in a large number of inactive friends on her friend list.
Lu Baiyuan and her romantic partner started interacting during a game event.
The details of that event are omitted here, but they met through it. Later, whenever Lu Baiyuan logged on, her partner would chat with her, and they naturally became acquainted.
After some time, the partner proposed to Lu Baiyuan, and she accepted. Hearing
this, Xu Gui and the others were momentarily speechless. At
first glance, it seemed perfectly normal—just a game romance, an online relationship, what could be wrong with that? However, the premise is that Lu Baiyuan is an adult, not a five-year-old kindergarten student!!
Does the person opposite know that Lu Baiyuan is just a primary school student?
Xu Gui forced a smile and asked Lu Baiyuan, "Do you know what 'Qingyuan' means?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Baiyuan gave Xu Gui a proud look and proudly declared, "Of course I know what 'Qingyuan' means. 'Qingyuan' means being in a relationship. In the game, my relationship with [Just Eat Dirt] is called online dating!"
Oh, I forgot to mention, [Just Eat Dirt] is Lu Baiyuan's Qingyuan, and the other person's full name is [At the Beginning of the Month Just Eat Dirt].
Xu Gui sighed, "...Since you know what 'romance' means, why are you still in a 'just eating dirt' in-game relationship?"
Lu Baiyuan replied matter-of-factly, "Xingxing and the others all have in-
game relationships, so of course I should have one too!" Xu Gui inquired about who this "Xingxing" was and got the answer from Lu Baiyuan. It turned out that Xingxing was Lu Baiyuan's classmate in kindergarten, a good friend, and she also played the game and had found a romantic partner in it.
Of course, Lu Baiyuan said "Xingxing and the others," which was quite telling. According to Lu Baiyuan, many children in their kindergarten had their own romantic partners.
"Rui Rui and Xiao Xiao are even boyfriend and girlfriend!" Lu Baiyuan surprised everyone again. "They've already agreed that they'll get married when they grow up, and Xingxing will be their child. They'll be a happy family." "
..."
Xu Gui and the others, their expressions blank, couldn't help but think: So, in your kindergarten, finding a romantic partner in a game is actually a trend? Is your kindergarten really that serious?
Xu Gui suddenly felt relieved. Because of what happened before, Lu Baiyi had made Lu Baiyuan withdraw from the kindergarten she attended. Otherwise, she would have been really worried about Lu Baiyuan's mental and physical health. Would it really be okay for him to continue studying at that school?
"That guy who's just eating dirt, do you know how old you are?" Xu Gui asked again.
Lu Baiyuan tilted his head and said, "He probably doesn't know. He thinks I'm a college student."
Xu Gui: ?
Lu Baiyuan explained, "This game account originally belonged to my cousin, but she stopped playing and gave it to me."
Xu Gui continued, "...So how much do you know about this 'Just Eat Dirt'?"
Lu Baiyuan counted on her fingers, "I know he's twenty years old this year, a junior in college, and will graduate next year. He has excellent grades and gets scholarships every year."
"Oh, he also has a younger sister, only seven years old, who was his parents' second child..."
Lu Baiyuan spoke clearly and logically. In her words, she almost investigated everything about "Just Eat Dirt's" ancestors. After finishing, Lu Baiyuan took a sip of water and calmly said,
"This 'Just Eat Dirt' brother is too naive. He believes everything I say. People like him can easily be scammed online!"
Xu Gui: ...Yeah, isn't he already been scammed by you?
Xu Gui mentally scoffed and then inquired about Lu Baiyuan's relationship with this "Loves to Eat Dirt" guy—she was afraid their interactions had crossed the line into adulthood.
However, after listening to Lu Baiyuan's explanation, Xu Gui calmed down and even felt a little amused.
Lu Baiyuan was limited to one hour of phone time each day, and within that hour, she had to use it for other things, leaving very little time for gaming. Therefore, she didn't have much communication with this "romantic partner.
" Lu Baiyuan said, "...There are often events in the game, and daily tasks to complete. Many rewards require completing the daily tasks without fail."
Previously, Lu Baiyuan had hired a game booster to do these things, but after meeting this so-called romantic partner, all these tasks were taken care of by her partner, and they were even more meticulous than the booster.
In short: although they were a couple, they didn't actually play the game much, and Lu Baiyuan's in-game tasks were taken care of by this so-called romantic partner.
Of course, as Lu Baiyuan said, she wasn't just getting freebies from others doing tasks for her; she would pay them a certain amount. She always bought them the best outfits available each time, being extremely generous.
Lu Baiyuan's appearance today was because she had arranged to meet the other party at a KFC in XX city last night—a face-to-face meeting, in other words.
It was Lu Baiyuan who invited them out, and the reason…
"I want to kill my love interest!" Lu Baiyuan declared clearly.
A three-headed child, seriously saying he wanted to kill his love interest—Xu Gui and the other two held back their laughter for a long time. They were afraid that if they laughed, the child would become angry.

At the KFC in XX city.
KFC is always a battleground for children, and at this moment, most of the customers were adults with children, a noisy and bustling place.
At this moment, at a two-person table facing each other by the window in KFC, a young man in a T-shirt and trousers, with a clean and refreshing appearance, sat there, typing rapidly on his phone, seemingly replying to a message.
[Third Brother, how did it go? Did you see her?]
[Third Brother, what does the rich woman look like? Is she one of those legendary "white, rich, and beautiful" women? Beautiful, elegant, and rich! Waaah, Third Brother, you're so lucky! The rich woman ignores everyone else, so arrogant, but Third Brother actually became her love interest! Isn't this a romantic love story of a short, poor, and ugly guy meeting a beautiful, rich, and beautiful woman?]
[Although the rich woman is very rich, Third Brother's family isn't bad either. They own a whole building from a demolition compensation settlement!]
[Stop talking! I hate this world where everyone else is rich and I'm poor! There are so many rich people in this world, what difference would one more person like me make?]
[You guys are getting off-topic… So, Third Brother, did you see her?] The young man called Lao
San, also known as Jiang Qu, typed a reply after reading the messages in the group: "I haven't met him yet. We agreed to meet at ten o'clock, and it's only nine-thirty now."
Seeing his post, his roommates in the group chat started chiming in again, actively guiding Jiang Qu on how to behave when they met her, hoping to leave a good impression.
"…Don't be too nervous, Third Brother. You're good-looking, your family is relatively well-off, your grades are good, and you're ambitious. You're a blue-chip stock! A rich woman definitely won't look down on you!"
Jiang Qu was indeed very nervous, after all, this was his first meeting with his in-game love interest.
Speaking of which, Jiang Qu really liked his love interest, [Fairy Miaoyue]. Although they hadn't actually talked much since they became a couple, and she seemed indifferent to him, he still liked her very much. After all, since middle school, he had always liked girls with this kind of personality:
aloof, proud, like a lonely moon.
And after becoming a couple with [Fairy Miaoyue], that's exactly how she felt to him—aloof as the cold moon, perfectly matching his tastes. Although his friends always suspected he was a masochist because of this, there was nothing he could do; Jiang Qu just liked girls with this kind of personality.
Jiang Qu muttered, "...I wonder if Miao Yue will think I'm too ugly."
He opened the mirror app on his phone and carefully examined his face. Just as he was looking in the mirror, someone gently tapped the table in front of him.
Jiang Qu looked up and saw a slender, tall figure standing in front of him. The person had fair skin, red lips, bright and beautiful eyes, delicate features, and an extremely beautiful appearance with a striking aura.
The person looked down at him, a hint of scrutiny in their eyes, and then spoke, "...Are you [Eating Dirt at the Beginning of the Month]?"
Jiang Qu stared blankly at the person, his expression dazed, until the person waved their hand in front of his face. He suddenly snapped out of his daze, and his face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
"I...I...I am [Eating Dirt at the Beginning of the Month]!" Jiang Qu stood up from his chair with a burst of energy. He looked at the person with a mixture of shyness and excitement and asked, "Are you [Fairy Miao Yue]?" Jiang Qu
was extremely excited at this moment, feeling as if he wanted to soar to the clouds.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the girl in front of him, marveling at his incredible luck.
He'd read online posts about other people's online meetups, and they were almost always a disaster – a complete breakup. Even his dorm mate had experienced the same thing.
Last year, his dorm mate had an online romance with a college student who spoke with a cute, childlike voice. He'd imagined a lovely, adorable girl, but when they met in person, he found she was a large, overweight woman. After spending a day playing with her, he immediately ran away.
Because of his dorm mate's experience, Jiang Qu was very nervous and worried about this meeting. He was afraid it would be another disappointment. After all, online romances are all about the virtual world; you always imagine a perfect, outstanding person, and the reality can be very different. Before coming,
Jiang Qu had mentally prepared himself. He kept telling himself that even if the other person wasn't good-looking or was overweight, and even if he felt a huge disappointment, he couldn't act too badly or make her feel insulted.
But now, looking at the person in front of him, Jiang Qu felt that all his previous preparations had been in vain. The person before him was simply too beautiful. He couldn't help but think: Am I worthy of such a beautiful girl?
Jiang Qu was overjoyed.
So he looked at her and asked, "...Are you [Fairy Miaoyue]?"
"Huh?"
Excited and shy, Jiang Qu didn't see the blank look on her face after hearing his question. He was just thinking happily: He was so lucky! His online love interest was so perfect.
His boss and the others were right; she really was a legendary rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned girl!
Then, the delighted Jiang Qu saw a small head peek out from behind his "online love interest"—a little girl with a round face and chubby cheeks.
Jiang Qu thought to himself: [Fairy Miaoyue] came to meet me in person and even brought her little sister! The little sister is so cute, just as cute as [Fairy Miaoyue].
Then, he heard his little sister, who looked like she was still in kindergarten, say to him, "Yes, I am [Fairy Miaoyue], your destined one!"
Jiang Qu, whose mouth was practically stretched to the corners of his mouth, was
bewildered. He stared blankly at the two figures, one big and one small, using his dwindling rationality to think: Had he just heard something incredible?
"Hahaha, [Fairy Miaoyue], your sister really loves to joke...hahaha!"
