Chapter 45: Chapter 219 [No One Can Stop!]_2

"I see you’re about the same height as me. Put these on first."

Gu Girl blushed at the words, her eyes also turning warm. She said softly, "Boss lady, this is too embarrassing."

"Don’t be embarrassed. The clothes aren’t expensive, they’re all discount items from the supermarket. Go on, go on!"

Though Gu Girl felt shy in her heart, she couldn’t resist the temptation.

For a girl... bathing is quite an attractive thing.

Who doesn’t want to be clean and pretty?

Gu Girl was still hesitating, but the boss lady, being straightforward, pulled her up directly, dragged her into the shop, and pushed her up the stairs. "Go on, go on, the hairdryer is hanging next to the sink!"

Gu Girl, reluctant but obedient, went upstairs, while the boss lady returned to the counter to continue watching her variety show.

About an hour later...

The boss lady looked up and saw Gu Girl standing in front of her, face flushed red.

The redness on her face was mostly from the hot water steam, and her hair was still wet with droplets hanging.

"Oh my, look at that, you look so much better all clean." The boss lady smiled, then asked in surprise, "Why didn’t you dry your hair? It’s so cold, if you don’t dry it, you’ll get a headache!"

She got up, noticing that business was slow around noon—nearby schools were having exams, so the internet café business was slowing down.

"Old Three!!"

The boss lady shouted loudly.

A huge head poked out from the second row of computers in the shop. It had a buzz cut and looked fierce, speaking gruffly, "Sis?"

"I’m going upstairs for a bit, you look after the counter!"

The buzz cut head groaned, getting up and walking over leisurely, a cigarette hanging from his mouth. He slouched into the chair behind the counter.

"Be polite to the customers, this is business!"

"Got it, sis, go ahead. I promise not to hit or curse anyone." The buzz cut tried to force a smile. "How’s this smile?"

The boss lady glanced at her brother—his smile was scary enough to make kids cry at night.

Sighing, she decided not to say more.

The boss lady simply pulled Gu Girl upstairs to her own room.

Sitting Gu Girl down, she had her take off her black cotton jacket and threw it into the washing machine.

"This coat needs washing too. Wear my clothes first."

Saying this, the boss lady pulled a few items from the wardrobe: a slim-fit sweater, a down jacket, and a pair of jeans.

Thinking for a moment, she asked, "What size shoes do you wear?"

"......"

Gu Girl pursed her lips and stayed silent—she didn’t actually know what "size" meant.

The boss lady didn’t mind, assuming the girl was just embarrassed, so she took out a pair of her own sneakers.

"You’re about my height, so your shoe size shouldn’t be too different. Try these on first."

Then, the boss lady sat Gu Girl down in front of the dressing table, took out the hairdryer, and started drying her hair.

The noise of the hairdryer startled the girl at first, but she quickly got used to it, gazing curiously and contentedly, closing her eyes a bit as she enjoyed the warm air on her hair.

"Xiaogu, did you change into the underwear too?"

The boss lady asked while blow-drying.

"Mm."

"Does it fit?"

"Mm...," Gu Girl thought seriously for a moment, then replied, "It’s okay, but the pants are a bit big, and the top is a bit small..."

The boss lady’s hand holding the dryer stiffened slightly at these words.

Instinctively, she glanced at Xiaogu sitting before her.

This girl, younger than me!

Prettier than me!

And she’s thinner! And she’s bigger, too?!

Feeling a bit sour...

It’s so unfair!

Thoughts flashed through her mind as the boss lady continued to dry Gu Girl’s hair.

"Xiaogu, you’ve been here for a few days now. I haven’t asked where you’re from. From your accent, you sound like you’re from the Eastern Three Continents?"

"Mm-hmm."

Gu Girl nodded. The Eastern Three Continents... huh, the Interface is indeed there, so in the eyes of people in this world, she counts as from the Eastern Three Continents.

"So what did you do back home?"

"Well... slaughtering."

The boss lady’s hand shook.

Slaughtering? Such a delicate girl doing that?

"Oh, does your family run a livestock business?"

"...Not really. We don’t raise any. We just kill... wild ones."

"Oh, a hunter?"

Are there still people living off hunting these days? Well... maybe in the Eastern Three Continents? She’d heard that many locals in the old mountains and forests still did that.

There were even Forest Guardians. Heard it’s hard work, but it comes with a government job and salary.

Stable!

The boss lady felt a bit more spirited. "You don’t seem that young. Do you have a boyfriend back home?"

"No."

"Then..." The boss lady’s eyes lit up. "You’re so pretty, haven’t thought about finding one?"

Gu Girl stayed silent.

The boss lady got into it. "You know, with your looks, you’re a top-tier girl. You have everything. And you’re gentle, quiet, and skilled. Any man who marries you will be so lucky..."

Gu Girl kept her head down, then suddenly spoke softly.

"Boss lady, I have a husband."

"...Huh?"

The boss lady was stunned, even stopping the hairdryer.

"I have a husband... My family arranged a marriage, but we haven’t married yet." Gu Girl answered seriously, looking into the boss lady’s eyes. "So, I won’t consider any other men."

The boss lady felt a bit awkward. She had been thinking of matching one of her three brothers with the girl, but now...

But...

"You’re engaged?" The boss lady looked curiously at Gu Girl, then had a realization. "Got it! Did you..."

Lowering her voice, she said, "Did you run away from a marriage? What era is this, and there’s still arranged marriages?

You don’t like your fiancé? Not a good person?"

Gu Girl pursed her lips, a hint of Evil Qi flashing in her eyes. "The guy is indeed trash. I heard their family is heartless and despicable."

Got it!

The boss lady sighed, feeling a bit regretful. "Then you really need to run! This marriage must be escaped!

We women, when it comes to marriage, can’t choose the wrong person!"

"I didn’t run away, nor did I escape the marriage." Gu Girl shook her head. "It’s the other family who ran."

The boss lady: "..."

She looked at Gu Girl’s face and figure in the mirror.

The guy ran?

This can’t be true! What’s the man thinking?!

Look at this face, this figure!

How can he not want this?! What more does he want?

This can’t be right?

"Wait, then why did you come all the way to Jinling Prefecture?"

"I’m here to find him, to drag him back and marry me." Gu Girl gritted her teeth. "In this life, he’s my husband alive, and if dead, my widower, no one can stop it."
