Even after all these years, Julian still remembers the scene of being killed by an NPC with a bright and cheerful face.

So, how come the roles have been reversed now?

"What do you mean? You want me to become a serial killer?" Lu Xiaoyao poked Julian's chest with her finger, looking pitiful. "You...you really want to?"

"I can't bear to part with it."

Julian grabbed Lu Xiaoyao's hand and gently kissed the back of it, instantly eliciting a synchronized "Eek!" from the comments section.

[Pah! Pah! Pah! Get out of here, you lovey-dovey couples!]

[Ahem! Um, why is my daughter's dating life so cheesy?]

[Just a cheesy little game between young couples!]

[Seriously, I never thought those NPC couple was greasy before!]

Yeah, I was really into it back then!

Could it be—

[Appearance?]

Ah, face really is important.

[The baby isn't ugly, is he?]

[No, that NPC who used to sell boxed lunches, seriously, a cool, aloof, and ascetic beauty paired with a crazy, gloomy handsome man—how appealing! Lu Xiaoyao's pairing—a naive, sweet girl paired with a refined scoundrel… well… doesn't fit the game.]

Where am I being dark?

Mu Chen, who was walking up the mountain with the players towards the inn, was connected to Lu Xiaoyao's live stream just like Mingmei, but he didn't expect to see such comments.

"Yeah, they're just talking nonsense~" Mingmei shook their clenched hands to reassure Mu Chen not to be angry.

"I'm not angry, they're just jealous~"

Mu Chen just saw it; some viewers in the comments section were already reminiscing about how the NPC selling boxed lunches looked more pleasing to the eye than Mingmei's face.

Because of the game's memory suppression mechanism, the other players who entered the game found Mingmei and Muchen familiar, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

However, Mingmei did not impose these restrictions on herself and Mu Chen; the two of them entered the game simply to observe up close.

Soon after, when Mingmei and Muchen appeared in Lu Xiaoyao's live stream, unsurprisingly, Lu Xiaoyao's live stream exploded.

Before Mingmei and Muchen could react, Lu Xiaoyao stuck her head out and called out, "Do you want to buy a boxed lunch?"

After saying that, she secretly winked at Mingmei.

Lu Xiaoyao: I've made it so obvious, aren't you going to buy it?

A mischievous smile appeared on Mingmei's lips as she said, "No, I don't like boxed lunches."
