Wow~ You look just like someone I know!

When Mingmei heard Lu Xiaoyao's all-too-familiar line again, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Seeing this, Mu Chen's lips curled up slightly, but he immediately withdrew his smile after Ming Mei noticed it.

"I have a pretty average face, I look like everyone else."

Mingmei, with a blank, expressionless face, answered Lu Xiaoyao to maintain her persona.

But this time, she saw that Lu Xiaoyao actually showed a look of pity.

Bright and beautiful: ? ? ? ?

What is Lu Xiaoyao imagining now?

"You guys stay here first, I'll go home now and come find you around lunchtime."

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was already chatting with the shop owner, Wang Wenfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I never expected the guesthouse owner to be the mysterious businessman. So, there shouldn't be any problems staying here, right?

Thinking it over, she said goodbye to everyone and turned to enter the village. Mu Chen and Julian were standing there. Mu Chen saw Julian staring at Wang Wenfei's departing figure in silence, so he asked a question.

"I think there's something wrong with her."

Julian only shared this intuitive guess with Mu Chen. The other two girls had such a good relationship with Wang Wenfei that his unfounded suspicions could easily upset them, and they might even end up thinking that there was something wrong with him.

"After the midday rest, you can go for a stroll in the village..." Before he could finish speaking, Julian had already persuaded Mu Chen.

What surprised him even more was that Mu Chen didn't even bother to ask him why he suspected him or what evidence he had.

Seeing Mu Chen take the key and room number from Mingmei at the bar and go upstairs, Julian followed. Then Lu Xiaoyao and Merita took the keys and went upstairs with them.

As they went upstairs, Merita turned to Lu Xiaoyao and asked suspiciously, "This boss looks a lot like Mingmei, don't you have any doubts?"

"What's there to doubt? It's alright. I remember Meimei and the big boss both said that the copyright of their portrait models was sold to the game company, so it's not surprising that NPCs in the game company look like them."

"Oh, really? But Mingmei is really pretty, it's possible she was chosen by the game company to be a modeler." Merita nodded, although something felt a bit off, but since Lu Xiaoyao and Mingmei, who were so close, had said so, she couldn't say anything more. However, in the end, she still reminded her, "But, is an NPC with a face like her just a normal character?"

"I think so?"

Lu Xiaoyao scratched her head; she didn't understand the question.

She was still quite vague about some of the memories suppressed within the game.

As she pondered this, Lu Xiaoyao sighed and said, "But this NPC girl is so pitiful. She's so pretty! Yet the designer gave her the character design that makes her think she has an average face? Oh my god, I wish I had an average face like Mei Mei!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao sighed and shook her head repeatedly: "It's too tragic. She's beautiful but doesn't realize it! Isn't this kind of life too miserable?"

Merita: "..." That can't be that bad, can it?

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's comments on Mingmei during the live stream: "..."

Viewers in the live stream: [...]

How can Lu Xiaoyao have such a unique focus?

[Kid! Listen to what the girl next door has to say!]

Listen to what others are saying!

How can someone so good-looking be just an ordinary character?

[Yeah! With such good looks, she's obviously a lunchbox vendor! lol~]

...

Upon reaching the second floor, Lu Xiaoyao and the others entered their own rooms. She shared a room with Merita, where a huge floor-to-ceiling window faced north, leading directly to a balcony with a view of the lush, verdant Crescent Moon Mountain not far away.

Lu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, inhaling the air, which was filled with the fresh scent of damp earth and leaves. This place was simply a natural oxygen bar!

"My God, this is so awesome! Is this game some kind of New Year's special treat from the game company?"

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was gazing at the view outside the balcony and murmuring to herself, Merita had already walked around the house.

The room wasn't large, but it had running water and electricity, and a private bathroom. Seeing Lu Xiaoyao standing on the balcony, she followed. However, when she looked up from the balcony, she didn't see any lights on the ceiling, and two unlit torches hung on the wall. (M.cascoo.net)

"This is... decoration?" Merita stepped forward suspiciously, but before she could even touch it, she could already faintly smell the kerosene.

This torch in front of us is not just a simple decoration; it looks like it could actually be used.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoyao noticed that Merita was staring at the wall with her back to her, and something seemed off.

"They actually use torches here? Aren't they afraid someone will get curious and set the house on fire?"

Although this guesthouse is entirely built of brick and stone, it still uses a lot of wood in some details, such as the flooring, doors, windows, and balcony railings.

"Then let's not touch it~"

Lu Xiaoyao shrugged and patted her shoulder, saying, "Relax. Since the boss did this, she must have her reasons. If you're really curious, just go downstairs and ask her later."

"Um."

Through Lu Xiaoyao's live stream, Mingmei noticed that Lu Xiaoyao and the others had taken notice of the torch, and smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Whether they ask me about it later or not, they should know by taking a stroll around the village this afternoon.
