In order not to affect your girlfriend's image in your parents' eyes, you should explain that this is entirely your personal vanity and has nothing to do with your girlfriend. I hope parents can bless you both. Most parents still respect their children's wishes.
If you don't talk now, get along with each other for a long time, get married and have children, and if you are found out (for example, when you get married, your parents tell your relatives that my daughter-in-law is a college student, and it is easy for her relatives to tell the truth as soon as possible that the girl is not a college student), parents will be very sad that their son lied to them.
