Two days later, a shocking scene unfolded at the capital airport: a stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure was dragging a large suitcase, panting (as imagined by onlookers), while the elegant and tall young man beside her strolled leisurely with empty hands.

Nai Shawn was met with countless disdainful glances.

But who is Nai Shawn? His expression was so calm that it made a bunch of men who were working hard feel envious.

Bella Vivian sat happily on the plane, enjoying the surprisingly decent airplane meal.

However, there really is no such thing as a free lunch.

As the plane was about to land at Xi'an Airport, Nai Shawn folded his newspaper and casually said, "By the way, my parents are also in Xi'an. Do you want to meet them?"

Bella Vivian blinked, then blinked again...

Bella Vivian never gets airsick, but at that moment, as the plane was about to land, she started to feel dizzy.

Bella Vivian spent several days in terror.

The delicious food in Xi'an didn't save her, the breathtaking beauty of Mount Hua didn't save her, and the grandeur of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda didn't save her. The root of all her fear lay in the last day, the day she was to meet the parents of the great god.

"How did your parents know about me?" Bella Vivian asked with a hint of grievance.

"A colleague told them."

"...Why are even our school's teachers so gossipy?" Bella Vivian felt even more aggrieved.

"Feng Shui?"

"...T__T"

In the end, not even the great god's cold jokes could save her.

Nai Shawn's parents were working on a nationally significant excavation project in a county near Xi'an, and they only returned to Xi'an to rest on weekends. So even when Bella Vivian and Nai Shawn went to the county for a trip, they didn't meet them.

But it would have been better to meet them earlier T___T

On the second-to-last day, Bella Vivian's anxiety reached its peak, and she did something quite impulsive: she dragged the great god to go shopping for clothes. In fact, before coming to B City, she had extorted several dresses from her mother under the pretense that "the internship place is very formal and requires good attire," but she hadn't brought any of those dresses to Xi'an.

She thought it was just a trip, so she packed casual clothes like capri pants and T-shirts. Wearing such clothes to meet the great god's parents would seem too casual.

"What kind of clothes does your mom like?"

"Why not ask about my dad?"

"..."

Bella Vivian glanced at him, too lazy to answer. Of course, the mother-in-law's preferences are more important! No, no, not mother-in-law... Bella Vivian quickly corrected herself in her mind. But soon she felt that it was almost like meeting the mother-in-law...

Why does she have to experience meeting the in-laws at just twenty years old T___T

"How about this one?"

"Too plain." After receiving a suspicious look, he added, "According to my mom's taste."

...

"How about this one?"

"Too bland."

...

"This one?"

Shakes head.

...

"Then this one?"

"...My mom would like it."

Bella Vivian looked down at the dress in her hand, which she had picked up casually. It had at least a hundred butterflies on it... The great god's mother was supposed to be very refined and academic, so how could she like such a dress?

"You're teasing me again = ="

Nai Shawn laughed, "I suddenly thought, when you first met me, did you also buy clothes like this?"

"...No, I just casually threw on a sack = ="

Bella Vivian almost bought a dignified sack-colored dress, but fortunately, Nai Shawn stopped her in time, repeatedly assuring her that although his parents worked in archaeology, they definitely didn't like colors close to dirt. In the end, Bella Vivian wore a very conservative beige dress to meet the great god's parents.

However, this time the great god didn't tease her. The next day, when they had dinner with the great god's parents, the great god's mother kindly emphasized to her, "Young lady, you don't need to dress so plainly."

...The great god's mother herself was dressed very simply and elegantly, so what kind of aesthetic does she have = =

But more surprising than the great god's mother's outstanding taste was that they were very kind and amiable, completely unlike the aloof temperament rumored. It was really just a casual meeting and meal, and they didn't ask her any questions. Instead, they shared many interesting stories about their archaeological excavations.

Bella Vivian was puzzled, how could two parents with such good temperaments have a son like the great god...

But she didn't think that, for the person who finally moved their son's heart, they could hardly put on a sour face.

Much later, Bella Vivian learned why the great god's mother, Professor Lin, was so satisfied with her. Apparently, not long after the great god started dating her, Professor Lin was informed by a colleague that her son was in a relationship. Since she heard that the girl was also in the computer science department, Professor Lin went to the head of the neighboring computer science department to learn about Bella Vivian's situation.

The head of the computer science department at A University was a strong woman, excelling in both academics and administration, but she had a problem: she was very strict about conduct, often going to extremes, earning the nickname "Extinction Master" from A University students.

However, when Professor Lin inquired, the department head was full of praise for Bella Vivian. Professor Lin was both happy and worried: happy that the girl couldn't be bad, worried that if even the "Extinction Master" praised her, could her son's girlfriend be a little "Extinction"?

Seeing Bella Vivian in person, poised and graceful, though dressed plainly, she was still quite charming. Professor Lin was overjoyed and relieved.

In an ordinary restaurant in Xi'an, Bella Vivian's first meeting with the great god's parents was gradually coming to an end. However, as Bella Vivian completely relaxed, she realized at the last moment—Professor Lin, she really is Nai Shawn's mom.

They all excel at delivering a key line at the last moment—

Professor Lin said with a smile, "Your flight is tomorrow, right? Ours is too, so we'll be flying back with you."

Thus, Bella Vivian flew back with the great god's parents, as the new school year was about to start, and they needed to return to school to arrange teaching work.

Even more tragically, there were several professors from her own school on the plane, all looking at her with kind and curious eyes...

In short, Bella Vivian's summer internship began with "eloping" and ended with "meeting the in-laws," truly an exceptionally perfect experience, absolutely worthy of the "excellent" grade she later received on her summer internship report.

After returning to B City, the new school year started immediately. After the initial chaos of the new term, Bella Vivian finally had time to log into "Dreaming of Jianghu" and received a bunch of messages.

First, at the end of August, from Thunder Nina.

"I haven't been here for a few days, and Little Rain Green actually left the guild, hahaha, although I don't know why, I'm thrilled."

On the same day, a few hours later.

"Dizzy, I found out what happened, what's going on, she's so shameless, no wonder Little Rain Fairy didn't say anything. Now everyone in the guild dislikes her."

"Bella Vivian, why did you also attend the gathering? Everyone says you're a super beauty, and they say your boyfriend is unbelievably handsome O(∩_∩)O~ I really want to see!"

The next message was from early September, from Dry Smoke.

"You're not a student at our school, right? I asked around, haha, I said if there was such a great beauty like you, how could I not know."

"Don't worry, beauty, I'll keep your secret."

The next few messages were again from Thunder Nina, sent two days ago.

"Bella Vivian, what's going on, someone in the guild said you're pretending to be a college student."

"They said you're pretending to be a student from X University, Dry Smoke said you're not from their school, what's going on, is there some misunderstanding, Bella Vivian I believe you."

Bella Vivian thought of Dry Smoke's previous confident message and was speechless.

Thunder Nina was also online at this time, and upon seeing Bella Vivian online, quickly sent her a message.

"Bella Vivian, I can't stand it, the guild is so cheesy."

"What's wrong?"

"Purewater and Little Rain Fairy are at it, calling each other husband and wife every day, giving each other mounts and clothes, as if they're afraid others don't know how loving they are. Although it was cheesy before, it wasn't this exaggerated."

Thunder Nina's complaints came one after another: "They even say Little Rain Fairy is studying at some prestigious university, please, my school is better than hers, and I don't brag like that."

After a round of complaints from Thunder Nina.

"Bella Vivian..."

"Hmm?"

"Are you really a great beauty? They also said your boyfriend is so handsome he's not human..."

The great god is indeed quite non-human...

Bella Vivian awkwardly sent a shy emoji, which also embarrassed Thunder Nina. She suddenly had a stroke of genius and said, "Ah! Could it be that Smiling Naihe is your boyfriend!"

Bella Vivian: "..."

There's nothing wrong with admitting it, so Bella Vivian said, "Yes ^_^"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Thunder Nina went crazy, "When did you guys start!! Was it online to real life? Ah, I didn't expect Smiling Naihe to be so handsome in real life too!!!"

Messages came in rapid succession, and Bella Vivian clicked "next" so much her hand almost got tired. She picked out what she could say to satisfy her curiosity, and Thunder Nina finally calmed down.

Thunder Nina sent a row of rolling emojis: "I can't stop laughing at the thought of Little Rain Green trying to stir things up between you and Smiling Naihe in front of him, hahaha, if she knew, she'd probably hit her head against the wall!"

Thunder Nina: "Bella Vivian, can I tell others that Smiling Naihe is your boyfriend? (praying emoji)"

This doesn't matter, after all, the great god loves the title. Bella Vivian said, "As you wish..."

"Hahaha, great, I must find the perfect moment to reveal it." Thunder Nina was excited for a while, then remembered to ask, "What's the deal with X University?"

Bella Vivian thought for a moment and replied, "Ji Xianlin once said, 'Never tell a complete lie, never tell the whole truth.'"

Thunder Nina was stunned for a moment: "Dizzy, I seem to understand a bit but not quite... But aren't you angry that they say you're pretending to be a college student?"

"It doesn't matter ^_^"

Compared to the rumors in the game, it's more important not to let the people and things you dislike in the game disturb your real life.

After all, in reality, they're just strangers.

They don't even know who she is, so they can't affect her in any way, and they probably won't meet again, so why care about what they say behind her back?
