Feisty NPC: The Domineering Pudding-Head Falls for Me

▎Blurb (thanks to my friend for the title) Juri is the protagonist of a farming game, and she loves this life. The only thing she hates is the player. When the player isn't in the game, she can chat with the villagers, dip her feet in the stream, or lounge in her house to keep cool... But the moment the player logs in, even night is instantly turned into day. Juri gets dragged out of bed, hauled over to the fields, and changed into farming clothes. Come on! This is an idle game! You can't harvest crops just by chatting with the seedlings! Juri put up with being forced out of her pajamas yet again. After all, the game was incredibly boring, and she was the only thing in it worth playing. Countless players had quit because it was so dull. She just had to put up with this for a few days. When the succulents she'd raised were picked and given as gifts to villagers she wasn't even close to, she endured it; When the crops she'd worked so hard to grow were traded for gifts for other people, she endured it; When the newly hatched chicks were instantly turned into crispy fried chicken for someone to eat, she endured it. Juri, awake in the middle of the night: Is he out of his mind or what?? If you're going to farm, just farm. Why give gifts every single day? She stuck it out for several days. Not only did the player not quit, but that stupid pudding-haired guy even started livestreaming. Now Juri had to farm every day and listen to him explain to his viewers which gifts each crop could be exchanged for, and whose favorability they could raise... The nth time she was shaken awake, changed out of her pajamas, and sent out to work, Juri finally couldn't take it anymore as she listened to the player ramble on. She tossed aside the watering can and demanded: "Can you let me get a good night's sleep?" * After the NPC Juri escaped from the game, the pudding-haired guy received a reply from the game company: [Thank you for promoting our game. Our technical department has checked the user data and found no problems. Juri's escape may have other causes. We will assign a specialist to handle this matter. Could you arrange a time to hand Juri over to us?] Hand her over? Juri? The pudding-haired guy fell silent. Juri, sitting up in bed, suddenly exclaimed, "Kenma! I want ice cream." As if she'd already anticipated him refusing with excuses like "I don't have enough allowance," "You can't eat ice cream in winter," or "If you eat ice cream, they'll take you away for research," Juri was already sulking. But when he turned around, he saw his player staring at her, with that look in her eyes... This was clearly his Juri. There was no need to hand her over to anyone. The pudding-haired guy lowered his eyes and quietly deleted the email. "Come on, I'll take you to get ice cream." Inspired by a screenshot from Weibo, 2025.6.19 Theme: For justice and love
