"Then let me ask you, are you happy with him?" Xu Meng asked, sounding like a seasoned pro.

"I'm happy," Jiang Hua replied affirmatively.

"Didn't you say you wanted him to be your fake boyfriend? If he really became your boyfriend, do you feel any resistance?" Jiang Hua thought about it seriously and said, "No, I'm just a little at a loss."

"So what do you think of him? Do you know him?"

“I’ve learned a bit about him. He’s a very good person and he didn’t lie to me. He’s something like that, um… a good person,” Jiang Hua replied.

"That settles it then. Why don't you give it a try? I feel like you really like him. You usually act like you don't want to get close to guys, but you have a strange fondness for this one. I think you probably like him," Xu Meng concluded confidently.

"Have you ever seen what he looks like in person? He's not ugly, is he?" Ji Kexin added.

“I don’t know what he looks like, but my friend said he’s quite good-looking. But I’m not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, so whether he’s good-looking or not doesn’t really matter to me. What I care about is his inner qualities,” Jiang Hua said.

"Okay, judging from your tone, there's no doubt you've fallen for him," Ji Kexin said.

Jiang Hua was a little stunned. Had she really fallen for Yi Gu?

Because of Yi Gu, Jiang Hua was still a little uneasy. She didn't know whether she should log into the game. She was afraid of answering him, and she was also afraid of not answering him. Jiang Hua was so depressed. Was this a good thing or not? She was extremely conflicted.

Jiang Hua dawdled all afternoon, but finally decided to log into the game at 7 PM as promised. After all, she really wanted Alice's Miracle.

Jiang Hua pressed the Enter key with her slender fingers, logged into the game, and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Chat] [The Emperor's Little Dwarf]: Boss, you've finally arrived! Go and take a look.

[Chat] [Di Ruhua]: What's wrong? What happened?

[Chat] [The Emperor's Little Dwarf]: Oh dear, Yi Gu and the philandering bookworm are fighting again. No, it's not that the philandering bookworm and Yi Gu are fighting again. No, it's that the philandering bookworm has led a group to besiege Yi Gu again.

The emperor's short stature was so confused that he could barely speak.

[Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Where are they?

[Chatting] [The Emperor's Little Dwarf]: In the snowy mountains.

[Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Okay, I'll be right there.

Jiang Hua originally didn't know how to face Yi Gu, but now she couldn't care less. She couldn't let Yi Gu bear all this alone.

Jiang Hua quickly arrived at the snow mountain, where Fengliu Shudai and his group were still locked in a stalemate with Yi Gu. This time, Yi Gu's attack power was clearly stronger; he no longer displayed the balanced offense and defense of before, but instead fought with a reckless, all-or-nothing style. Yi Gu unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks, his golden and jade-embroidered robe further enhancing his offensive attributes. Even when Fengliu Shudai and his group used a sword formation to restrict Yi Gu's movements, he focused solely on attacking Fengliu Shudai, seemingly determined to fight him to the death, unafraid of the attacks from the others.

What was he doing? Jiang Hua was extremely anxious. She thought of his battle with the frivolous bookworm, and how he had shielded her from the fatal blow. Jiang Hua's heart suddenly skipped a beat and clenched.

Never mind, there's no point in her joining the fray now; she can only speak frankly.

[Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Yi Gu, stop hitting me, I have something to say to you.

[Chat] [Di Ruhua]: You philandering bookworm, have your men withdraw. I have something to say to you.

This time, they all stopped unexpectedly.

The frivolous bookworm gestured for his men to leave, and Yi Gu also put down his weapon.

[Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Yi Gu, come here.

[Chat] [A glance]: Okay.

Jiang Hua was filled with trepidation.

Jiang Hua opened a new chat room, with only the three of them.

"I want to make two things clear to you both." Jiang Hua's soft, sweet voice was very pleasant.

“Alright, Little Painter, you go ahead.” The voice of the frivolous bookworm was clear and bright.

"Drawing, you tell me," a magnetic voice came through.

"Hey, why are you calling me 'Little Drawing'? Who are you?" the frivolous bookworm said irritably.

"Then who are you?" Gu didn't back down.

“You…” The philandering bookworm was about to launch a fierce rebuttal.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I called you out here to clear things up, not to have you two fight." Jiang Hua had a real headache.

“Okay, you draw, you do it.” Yi Gu said.

"Alright, alright, little painter, you go ahead."

Jiang Hua took a deep breath.

"You bookworm, I admit it was wrong of me to use Yi Gu's name to deceive you at first. Yi Gu and I were indeed just ordinary people at the beginning. We were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I lied to you like that from the start. I'm sorry." Jiang Hua was full of apology.

Yi Gu fell silent. The frivolous bookworm was overjoyed. "Little Huahua, I knew you were lying to me! How could you possibly be with someone like Yi Gu? That's great! I can still pursue you and be with you, okay?"

"But I'm sorry, you bookish rascal, you should have known from the beginning that I don't like you. If I really liked you, I would have said yes when you confessed to me so many times, instead of waiting until now to reject you under the guise of Yi Gu. So I'm really sorry for your sincerity. I appreciate it, but I can't be with you because I don't like you at all." Jiang Hua paused, then continued, "So I'm really sorry, you bookish rascal. I admit that this time, because I didn't want to hurt you, I actually hurt you and caused you to target Yi Gu. So I also feel very sorry for Yi Gu. But what I want to make clear to you now is, please don't target Yi Gu anymore."

"Little Huahua, then tell me clearly, who do you like? Why don't you like me? I can change anything you don't like about me." The frivolous bookworm's words were full of sadness.

"I'm sorry, you philandering bookworm, this is something that can't be changed no matter what. I thank you, but I'm also sorry, because I already have someone I truly like in my heart."

"Who is it? Tell me who it is!" the frivolous bookworm exclaimed in exasperation.

“The eye is on the horizon, yet right before my eyes,” Jiang Hua said, emphasizing each word.

The suave bookworm collapsed. He knew that besides himself, only one other person was present.

"Didn't you say it was just a charade with him?" The philandering bookworm was still unwilling to give up.

“But we took our fake relationship too seriously,” Yi Gu suddenly blurted out.

Jiang Hua smiled.
