Lu Huan seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale. Picking up the teapot, he pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

The shaky wooden door couldn't block the cold wind. The wind and snow immediately poured into the house, blowing the straw on the bed in the dilapidated house away.

But he didn't care too much. He forced himself to go out and stopped at a corner of the courtyard wall with the teapot.

The cold wind blew his thin clothes, making them flutter in the wind.

Su Xi looked at the game character's reaction in confusion. What's going on? Why did he suddenly run out of the courtyard after drinking some water?

Isn't it cold?

Can't you go back?!

I worked so hard to raise your stamina bar, but you're going to lose it!

The game character reached out and searched in the snow. Suddenly, he found a few bugs that looked like stink bugs.

He poured the water in the teapot on the ground and threw the bugs in.

Then he went to see the bugs' reaction.

The bugs struggled in the water, but they quickly swam out, shook off the water on their bodies, and hid underground. They didn't die.

Although the game character didn't move, Su Xi could clearly feel that he was relieved.

The white air he exhaled condensed into frost. Then he wiped his face tiredly and turned back to the woodshed.

Su Xi was speechless.

Su Xi understood that the game character was afraid that the water in the teapot had been poisoned. He drank it directly when he was dizzy. After drinking it, he woke up and suddenly changed color. He threw the bugs into the water. Seeing that the bugs didn't die, he was relieved.

— — Damn, do you have to be so smart?!

Su Xi was so shocked that his scalp went numb. When he downloaded the game, he thought it was a rough game. He never thought that the character's reaction would be so vivid. It didn't look like a 2D character at all!

After the game character returned to the woodshed, he closed the door tightly.

His face was pale and sickly. He stood by the window, put the teapot back, and looked at the teapot for a moment.

Lu Huan was still dizzy. His head was heavy, as if it was on fire.

He did find it strange. He didn't pour water into the teapot, but why was there water in the teapot? Did he forget to pour it out yesterday?

He was probably confused by the fever.

However, the two of them had done a lot of things like poisoning the water and adding laxatives to tease him.

A trace of imperceptible coldness flashed through Lu Huan's dark eyes. He frowned and supported himself against the wall as he returned to his bed.

Su Xi finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him finally lying back on the bed. As long as he was lying down, his stamina bar would not drop and would even rise.

However, Su Xi stared at the young man who was curled up in a ball under a thin quilt on the screen. He was curious and felt a little sad. What had he experienced? Why was he so vigilant?

She had only opened the game to pass the time and skipped the opening animation, which was the character's childhood experience.

But now, he had some desire to explore. Since he had nothing to do anyway, Su Xi took advantage of the time when the game character was sleeping and couldn't help but turn back to open the opening animation.

At the beginning of the story, there was no mention of the character's background. Presumably, his background would be revealed at the end. However, since the system said that the character's real identity was a prince, then he must be the prince who was lost in the outside world.

It was just that he didn't know how he became Prince Ning Fu's bastard son.

The animations switched very quickly, but Su Xi could still see the suffering of this thin boy's childhood from the few scenes.

Prince Ning Fu's courtyard was deep in the palace. Although the mistress didn't say anything, she was always short of clothes and food, and treated Lu Huan harshly.

The young man was still growing. He didn't eat enough and didn't sleep well. It was as if he was hiding in a dark ditch. He could only secretly help the servants do some hard work in exchange for some dry food.

Prince Ning Fu's second young master, Lu Wenxiu, was the most arrogant and vicious. He often ordered the servants to tease and humiliate Lu Huan. If Lu Huan was careless and offended this person, he would receive more than ten lashes. Over the years, his body was branded with countless marks.

Prince Ning Fu's eldest young master, Lu Yu-an, appeared to be righteous and righteous, but was actually a hypocrite. Just like Prince Ning, he turned a blind eye to these things.

In addition, Prince Ning Fu also had an aunt with a daughter. She was weak and incompetent, so she was also bullied. Instead, she needed Lu Huan's help.

Several scenes flashed by. Su Xi's character was either covered in blood or clenching his teeth to hold on.

Su Xi felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't bear to continue watching. Perhaps the game was too realistic, so much so that it made her feel like there really was such a game protagonist who wandered about in Prince Ning's Mansion, was tortured, and was only waiting for the day when her wings were fully grown and she could ascend the throne of the Emperor who could control the wind and rain.

Fortunately, it was just a game. Su Xi looked at the character again. The wind outside the wooden door was biting cold. Fortunately, it was just a game. Otherwise, if a real person was in such a harsh place, they would definitely freeze to death.

However, what else could she do?

Su Xi looked at it. Including the reward just now, she still had 13 gold coins.

The System immediately popped up, "The protagonist is currently extremely lacking in material resources. I suggest you start by changing his material resources."

Su Xi said, "Alright, alright. It's not a big deal to change the poor thing a little bit."

After saying that, the shop immediately popped up.

The first row was filled with all kinds of brocade and jade robes. The first one was made of fox fur. It looked very luxurious with golden threads. The price below it was 13000 gold coins.

The System said, "If converted to RMB, it's only 130 yuan."

Su Xi was speechless.

"Goodbye. Just pretend I didn't say that just now. Let the poor thing continue to freeze."

"…" The System seemed a bit speechless. It swiped the page to the back and showed it to Su Xi.

The last item was called "Normal Warm Robe with No Holes". It was priced at 30 gold coins.

"It's only 30 gold coins. If converted to RMB, it's only 30 cents. These days, even a cup of milk tea costs 15 yuan."

The System was desperately hinting, but Su Xi didn't seem to see it at all. She mercilessly swiped down the shop.

What a joke. Her pocket money didn't grow out of thin air. How could she casually spend it in the game?

This was just a game, okay? She wouldn't lose her mind!

Finally, when she reached the end, Su Xi picked and chose from the shop.

"Use straw to fix the leaky firewood door" and "Change the flimsiest and most useless quilt to a very thin and barely warm quilt". The former cost 8 gold coins, and the latter cost 5 gold coins. They added up to 13 gold coins. It was just enough to spend all the gold coins that the System gave when she registered and the gold coins that she got from pouring the water.

The System seemed to have nothing to say about Su Xi's stinginess. After she made her choice, it closed the shop.

The little guy in the game was still sleeping. He knew nothing about the world outside the game.

Su Xi looked at his sleeping face in boredom. She was curious about the little guy's reaction when he woke up. After all, this game was so realistic. His reaction would definitely be very interesting.

However, the little guy didn't wake up for a while. Su Xi turned off her phone in boredom and got up to do leg rehabilitation with the nurse.

After the rehabilitation, Su Xi's classmates also finished school and came to visit her with homework. When she saw the homework, Su Xi sighed and did her homework with a few of her friends. Then, they ate snacks and chatted. They talked and laughed. For a moment, they forgot about the game.

Su Xi was enjoying the air conditioner, wearing airpods, and gossiping with her classmates. However, in the old wooden hut, it was freezing cold from night to dawn.

Lu Huan slept a little soundly because of his typhoid. When he woke up, his back was covered in cold and sticky sweat.

He closed his eyes and raised his hand to wipe his forehead. When he felt that he didn't have a fever anymore, he finally sighed in relief.

His body had always been weak. No matter how painful it was, it would be fine after a sleep.

However, his mouth was still dry.

He forced himself to sit up from the hard bed.

Several servants outside the door seemed to have noticed that Lu Huan hadn't appeared yet. They talked loudly outside the door. "He really thinks of himself as a young master. The sun is high up in the sky and he still hasn't gotten up."

Another person said, "It's a pity that he has the young master's thoughts but not his life."

Lu Huan's eyes showed annoyance and indifference. He ignored them. He lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed. However, when his fingers touched the quilt, he suddenly froze. A trace of disbelief flashed through his eyes.

The quilt had clearly thickened. It was as if someone had filled it up while he was asleep.

Could it be that he was imagining things?

Speaking of which, the pot of tea last night was the same.

At the same time, Lu Huan also felt that something was wrong. It didn't seem so cold today. The cold wind didn't penetrate much. He subconsciously looked at the door and window. However, he saw that the old wooden door had been tightly wrapped by straw. This way, the gap for the cold wind to penetrate was greatly reduced.

Did someone really break into his room last night?!

Alerted, Lu Huan jumped down from the bed to the ground.

He naturally didn't think that any of the Prince Ning Fu would be kind to him.

His head was still a little dizzy and his lips were pale. However, he forced himself to stand firm. He lifted the quilt from the bed and shook it vigorously.

His expression was cold and severe. He tried to shake off something like a needle.

However, after shaking for a while, nothing fell. Instead, a few pieces of cotton fell from the quilt that had obviously been filled. Although it couldn't be said to be soft and comfortable, it was still clean. Moreover, it was indeed much warmer than before.

How could this be?

Lu Huan couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.
