Li Wei was stunned for two to three seconds before he came to his senses.
Oh, this must be his fiancée Mixi. She's so ugly. Reality really isn't a novel; beautiful women are always rare.
Hmm, wait a minute.
There's no one in the camp right now. Penny is mining, and Phila took Lyon fishing and gathering.
So she must have wandered around the camp and its surroundings before finding her way here?
Then, has she figured out the whole story?
Thinking of this, Li Wei finally put on a clumsy surprised expression, preparing to say a few lines to remind this new player not to say anything foolish.
But before he could speak, the new player, Mixi, was already so excited that tears streamed down her face. She rushed into his arms like a bird returning to its nest, sobbing loudly, as if she had suffered so much hardship and injustice and had finally met the closest person to her.
"George, George, it's really you! I almost thought I'd never see you again, sob sob sob..."
Li Wei froze, cold sweat trickling down his back.
Damn, this is a veteran player, definitely someone who has cleared the game at least once. So she has some authority to know my identity and all the family relationships?
But new players don't even know their own names or family relationships.
But why would she expose herself as a veteran player?
In comparison, Li Wei's acting was clumsy and awkward.
It wasn't that he lost control when this woman threw herself into his arms, but rather that he knew it was all fake, yet how could this woman not see the slightest trace of acting?
He could only stiffly pat her back, saying, "It's okay, it's okay," while this woman's performance was on par with an award-winning actress, making Li Wei look as pale as possible. If there had been a camera in front of him at that moment, if there had been an audience, he would have been the target of ridicule.
Really, he wanted to call a stop but couldn't, only able to stare blankly as this woman performed flawlessly and with full dramatic tension.
He was almost drawn into it.
Amazing!
And if her acting was so exquisite and powerful, he could imagine how strong and capable she was in other aspects. Li Wei suddenly realized that Penny might not be able to hold onto the Head of the Family position next month.
"George..."
At this moment, Mixi let out a long sigh, looking at Li Wei with teary eyes. Although she wasn't good-looking, this deep affection and spine-chilling performance made Li Wei feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and his body even reacted a little.
Damn it!
Just as Li Wei was about to push Mixi away, she pulled away first, her face flushed red with shyness. That kind of gaze... Damn, this is an expert!
"George, I'm hungry... Why don't I see Phila and Penny, and Uncle Ansen?"
"He's dead, unfortunately. As for Phila and Penny, they're fine. Lyon is back too. I'll cook for you." Li Wei answered truthfully.
"George, you're too kind, but I can't let you cook for me. You must be tired from chopping wood. Aren't you planning to go to Ver Province? So you plan to settle here? That house is built so well, did you build it, George?"
Mixi skillfully changed the subject and stepped forward to gently wipe Li Wei's sweat. Tsk tsk, see? These are the methods of a veteran player. I'm simply amazed.
But this also shows that veteran players only know the plot and relationship roles, but not the professions of other players. So she's probing.
But this isn't very important information; they'll find out sooner or later.
What's more crucial is that she's his fiancée in the plot. If she speaks, he can't pretend to be mute. For the past three months, Phila, Penny, and he have avoided unnecessary communication, fearing triggering some plot points.
And look at her, making everything so natural.
"Uh, I'm not very good at that. Penny built it, and the Blacksmith Shop, you know, she even discovered a small iron mine. She's really capable."
Li Wei said without any psychological burden, letting this veteran player fight with Penny and Phila. Three bickering women make a good show; I'll just watch.
"Really? Sister Penny is amazing. But George, you're not bad either. George, is there anything I can help you with? Or do you have any plans recently?"
Mixi looked at Li Wei with admiration and adoration. Li Wei was already numb and just wanted to get rid of her quickly.
"Phila took Lyon fishing. They're using woven fish traps to catch fish, which is amazing. Penny is mining. I'm responsible for reinforcing the walls. Winter is coming, and the house needs to be expanded, but I'm only responsible for chopping enough wood. Then, I'll do some hunting when I have time. Oh, and the wheat field, I have to harvest it."
Li Wei spoke the Main Quest for the month in one breath, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Why bother? They won't fight to the death anyway; it's just a competition for the Head of the Family position. No need to suffer like this anymore. I don't want to act affectionately with Mixi.
As expected, Mixi smiled at this moment, seemingly seeing through Li Wei's thoughts.
And she did get all the information.
"George, it's so good to have you here. I'm not scared at all now. You're my knight."
Mixi emotionally threw herself into Li Wei's arms again. Li Wei was already numb and didn't know what to say.
Let's just say, you veteran players, that's enough. Don't just pick on and torment us newbies. The key is that I have to cooperate and act, I can't even show a displeased face.
After a long while, just as Li Wei was about to be forced to raise the white flag, Mixi skillfully and gently broke away, tilting her head up and saying, "George, I was thinking just now, you're all preparing for winter, but you've overlooked one thing: winter clothing for warmth. You don't even have a single piece. Let me sew clothes for you. I saw a few Wolf Skins in the warehouse earlier, and I can sew a piece for each of you, and I can also weave a pair of Straw Shoes for each of you. It's just that I don't know if Phila and Penny will agree?"
Huh?
Li Wei blinked, quickly calming down. So, one of this veteran player Mixi's professions is tailor?
Is her tailor card two-star or three-star?
Of course, none of this is important information. However, winter does require some warm clothing. Currently, those Wolf Skins belong to the family collectively, and all family members have the right to use them, at least in theory.
For example, after my cheap father died, I could use the household tools freely as long as no one else was using them.
So, why is she asking like this?
Why would Phila and Penny object?
It doesn't make sense logically, right?
This Mixi, she isn't digging a pit for him, is she?
For a moment, all sorts of thoughts raced through Li Wei's mind.
But in the end, he nodded solemnly. It wasn't because he was worried about a trap, but because he had to follow the plot logic. His fiancée wanted to take the initiative to sew clothes, their family had the relevant means of production, and the need to ward off the cold winter was imminent. What reason did he have to refuse?
Plot logic comes first.
