Zhang Xiaoxiao had been trapped in the book for three days now. During this time, she had been talking to the system, trying to convince it to let her go back home, but the system was adamant.
"Host, you can go back once you complete the storyline, and you'll also get a wish," it said.
"I don't want a wish; I just want to go home."
"Host, stop making a fuss. This is the rule; you can't break it."
"I'll break it. What are you going to do about it?"
"Host, if you keep this up, I will have to kidnap you."
"You dare!"
"Just see if I do."
"System, do you believe I will report you?"
"…"
The system replied, "Waaah, Host, please don't report me. I'm sorry; I won't do it again."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
"But Host, are you really not considering that wish?"
"I'm not considering it."
"You could get a promotion and a raise."
"I don't need that."
"Host, you're making me lose face here."
"Then just go die."
"…"
The system fell silent, and Zhang Xiaoxiao felt triumphant.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Miss, may I ask where you came from?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked up to see a Villager standing in front of her, smiling warmly.
Startled, Zhang Xiaoxiao remembered that she was still wearing clothes from the twenty-first century.
"Host, just say you're a distant relative from the village," the system suggested.
"Oh."
Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly responded, "I'm here to visit relatives."
"Visit relatives?" The Villager looked at her in confusion. "Which family are you related to?"
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated and then turned to the system. "Who should I say I'm related to?"
"Just make something up," the system replied.
"Oh." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao said to the Villager, "I'm a relative of Liu Dawei."
"Liu Dawei?" The Villager paused for a moment before sighing. "You came too late."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Liu Dawei passed away last month."
"What!" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. "He died?"
"Yes, sigh, poor child."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
[Host, the villain is right in front of you.]
"Ah? Who?"
[The man next to Villager. ]
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the man and saw that he was tall and thin, with dark skin and well-defined features. Although he wasn't handsome, he wasn't unattractive either.
[Host, I have sent you the basic information about the villain. Take a look.]
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the basic information sheet:
Name: Zhao Guangcai
Gender: Male
Age: 25 years old
Personality: Cold, not good at speaking, but very kind to family.
Appearance: Tall, thin, dark-skinned, well-defined features.
Hobbies: Hunting, cooking.
Specialties: Hunting, cooking.
Likes: None.
Dislikes: None.
Personality Traits: Although cold, he is kind-hearted, responsible, and very good to his family; he can cook and takes good care of people.
After reading this, Zhang Xiaoxiao had a preliminary understanding of Zhao Guangcai.
[Host, think of a way to stay close to the villain so the mission can begin.]
"I know, don't rush me."
[I’m not rushing you; just handle it as you see fit.]
Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said in her heart: "System, after I complete the mission, can you help me with something?"
[Sure, what is it?]
"Can you help me eat some noodle soup?"
[Eating noodle soup? What does that mean?]
"Never mind that; just tell me if you agree or not."
[I agree; of course I will agree. I am the system; there’s nothing I can’t do.]
"That's good."
Zhang Xiaoxiao felt delighted in her heart; just wait and see, I'll make sure you regret challenging me.
While she was bargaining with the system, Villager spoke again, "Miss, since Dawei is already dead, do you... do you have any interest in finding a husband here?"
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Finding a husband?"
"Yes." Villager pointed to Zhao Guangcai. "What do you think of him?"
Zhao Guangcai: "......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't expect Villager to suddenly say this and was at a loss for how to respond.
Zhao Guangcai also didn't expect Villager to mention him suddenly and awkwardly said, "Aunt Liu, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, Zhao Guangcai, don't be shy. I think this girl is quite good, and she's beautiful. If you marry her, you'll definitely be blessed."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
Zhao Guangcai: "......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained, "Aunt Liu, that's not what I meant. I just passed by here and wanted to stay for a few days. I never thought about finding a husband here."
"I see," Aunt Liu said somewhat disappointed. "But it's not safe for a girl like you to live alone outside. Why don't you stay here? You and Guangcai can get to know each other first, and if it feels right, then you can get married. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
Zhao Guangcai: "......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't expect Aunt Liu to say that. If she rejected it again, it would be a bit impolite.
Zhao Guangcai also looked confused as he stared at Aunt Liu. "Aunt Liu, I don't want to get married yet."
"You may not want to, but your parents do. They are waiting for you to marry and have children every day."
"I..." Zhao Guangcai didn't know what to say anymore.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Well, Aunt Liu, I think what you said makes sense. It really isn't safe for me to live outside alone. Since you've suggested it, I'll stay and get to know Guangcai."
"Great! That's wonderful," Aunt Liu said happily. "Guangcai, you must take good care of the girl."
"I..." Zhao Guangcai glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao. "I understand."
"Alright, it's getting late. I'm heading back now. You two take your time getting to know each other," Aunt Liu said with a smile as she left.
After Aunt Liu left, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai fell into silence.
[Host, you're amazing! You settled in so quickly.]
"Stop causing trouble; I'm thinking."
[Thinking about what?]
"Thinking about how to make Zhao Guangcai like me."
[That's simple. Just cling to him, act pitiful, act innocent, act cute—whatever it takes to make him like you.]
"Will that work?"
[Yes, trust me.]
