Three days had passed since Zhang Xiaoxiao found herself transported into the book, and during this time, she had been conversing with the system, desperately trying to convince it to send her back. However, the system remained stubbornly unyielding.
"Host, once you complete the storyline, you can return home and even gain a wish," it insisted.
"What do I want with a wish? I just want to go home," she replied.
"Host, stop messing around. This is the rule; you cannot break it."
"I will break it. What are you going to do about it?"
"If you keep this up, I will have to kidnap you."
"You dare!"
"Just watch me."
"System, do you think I won't report you?"
"......"
The system whimpered, "Please don’t report me, Host! I was wrong; I won’t do it again."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
"But Host, are you really not considering that wish?"
"Not considering it."
"You could get a promotion and a raise."
"Not needed."
"Host, you're making me lose face here."
"Then just go die."
"......"
The system fell silent, and Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a surge of triumph. Just then, a voice suddenly broke through her thoughts.
"Miss, may I ask where you come from?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked up to see a Villager standing before her, smiling warmly.
Startled, she remembered that she was still wearing clothes from the twenty-first century.
"Host, just say you are a distant relative from the village."
"Oh."
Zhang Xiaoxiao realized and quickly said, "I'm here to visit family."
"Visit family?" The villager looked at her in confusion. "Which family are you related to?"
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao was about to speak but paused. She glanced at the system, "Who should I say I'm related to?"
"Just make something up."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said to the villager, "I'm a relative of Liu Dawei."
"Liu Dawei?" The villager was taken aback for a moment, then sighed. "You came too late."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Liu Dawei passed away last month."
"What!" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. "He died?"
"Yes, alas, poor child."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "..."
"Host, the antagonist is right in front of you."
"Huh? Who?"
"The man next to the villager."
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the man. He was tall and thin, with dark skin and well-defined features. While he wasn't exactly handsome, he wasn't unattractive either.
"Host, I've sent you the basic information about the antagonist; take a look."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the information sheet:
Name: Zhao Guangcai

Age: 25
Personality: Cold, not good with words, but very kind to family.
Appearance: Tall, thin, dark-skinned, with well-defined features.

Special Skills: Hunting, Cooking.

Dislikes: None.
Personality Traits: Although aloof, she is kind-hearted, responsible, and very good to her family. She can cook well and takes care of others.
After reading through everything, Zhang Xiaoxiao gained a preliminary understanding of Zhao Guangcai.
"Host, think of a way to stay close to the villain; only then can the mission begin."
"I know, don't rush me."
"I'm not rushing you; just handle it as you see fit."
Zhang Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said in her heart, "System, after I complete the mission, can you help me with something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Go help me eat some noodle soup."
"Eating noodle soup? What does that mean?"
"Don't worry about it; just tell me if you agree or not."
"I agree, of course I do. I'm the system; there's nothing I can't do."
"That's good."
Zhang Xiaoxiao felt delighted inside. Just you wait; I'll make sure you regret challenging me.
Just as she was haggling with the system, the Villager spoke up again, "Miss, since Dawei is already dead, are you... interested in finding a husband here?"
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "Find a husband?"
"Yes." The Villager pointed at Zhao Guangcai beside her. "What do you think of him?"
Zhao Guangcai: "..."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "..."
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't expect the Villager to suddenly say this and was momentarily at a loss for words. Zhao Guangcai was also caught off guard by the Villager's mention of him and awkwardly said, "Aunt Liu, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, Zhao Guangcai, don't be shy. I think this girl is quite nice and beautiful. If you marry her, you'll definitely be blessed."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
Zhao Guangcai: "......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "Aunt Liu, that's not what I meant. I'm just passing through and wanted to stay here for a few days. I never thought about finding a husband here."
"I see," Aunt Liu said, somewhat disappointed. "But it's not safe for a young lady like you to live alone outside. Why don't you stay here? You can spend some time with Guangcai, and if you feel it's right, then you can get married. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
Zhao Guangcai: "......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't expect Aunt Liu to say that. If she rejected it again, it would seem impolite.
Zhao Guangcai was also confused. He looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, I don't want to get married yet."
"You may not want to, but your parents do. They are eagerly waiting for you to marry and have children."
"I..." Zhao Guangcai didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly added, "Well, Aunt Liu, I think you have a point. It is indeed unsafe for me to live alone outside. Since you mentioned it, I'll stay and spend some time with Guangcai."
"Great! That's wonderful," Aunt Liu said happily. "Guangcai, you must take good care of the girl."
"I..." Zhao Guangcai glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao. "I understand."
"Alright, it's getting late. I'm heading back now. You two take your time getting to know each other," Aunt Liu said with a smile as she left.
After Aunt Liu left, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai fell into silence.
[Host, you're amazing! You settled in so quickly.]
"Stop messing around; I'm thinking."
[Thinking about what?]
"Thinking about how to make Zhao Guangcai like me."
[That's simple. Just cling to him, act pitiful, innocent, and cute. As long as it makes him like you, any method will work.]
"Will that really work?"
[Yes, trust me.]
