I found a life simulator.

"They're gone?" Erina Nakiri asked softly.

Su Ze glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, nodded, and said, "Let's go."

Ms. Asakawa packed her things and left quietly.

Erina Nakiri collapsed onto the living room sofa, as if all her strength had been used up.

Finally left.

"Erina, come to my room with me." Su Ze paused for a moment before saying, not giving Erina Nakiri time to rest. "I have something to tell you."

"Dad, it's time for school!" Rina called out, carrying a small backpack.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say to your mother." Su Ze tried to soften his tone, and he looked back at Erina Nakiri, gesturing with his lips.

Su Ze walked in front.

Erina Nakiri walked behind.

They arrived at Su Ze's game room.

“Erina.” Su Ze’s gaze fell on Erina Nakiri.

Talk about it.

Yesterday was quite hectic as he rushed to gather intelligence, but things have calmed down today, finally giving Su Ze time to properly examine the woman before him.

Her long, flowing golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, her features were exquisite, and her skin was as white and flawless as jade. Whether it was an illusion or the instinct of this body, she felt like the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

Erina Nakiri, of course, noticed Su Ze's gaze.

This atmosphere.

it's wired.

Is he going to confess his feelings?

Are you already planning to confess your feelings on the second day already?

Boys really are all heartless jerks.

If he really confesses his feelings, how should I react? If I reject him, will he be angry? If he gets angry and throws a tantrum, will it affect my daughter's normal development?

but.

This is my bottom line!

It's too superficial to agree to confess your feelings without even getting to know each other.

"Say what you have to say," Erina Nakiri said coolly. At this moment, all she needed to do was act aloof and put pressure on him so that he would back down on his own.

"Oh, is that so?" Su Ze picked up something that looked like a USB drive. "Last night I searched all night for tutorials on raising daughters and sons."

"Although much of the content on the internet is unreliable, there is still some valuable information."

"I put together a set of tips and created a guide for raising children."

"If you have time, you can go and take a look."

"By the way, do you have any money?" Su Ze smiled awkwardly and said, "I checked my bank account, and I don't have any money."

Aside from asking my mom for money.

Su Ze has not asked anyone else for money.

However, I'm currently short on cash, so I need to save some money for a rainy day.

Is there anything wrong with asking for money when you don't have any?

It's not like I'm not going to pay it back.

"Oh, you need money?" For some reason, Erina Nakiri felt a little disappointed. Even though she wouldn't agree to date him after his confession, wasn't his initiative in confessing his feelings a testament to his charm?

“I will send some money over later,” Erina Nakiri said.

"Okay." Su Ze scratched his head.

I handed over the USB drive.

"Then I'll go take Rina and the others to school," Su Ze continued, casually putting on a coat before heading out.

"Take care on your journey." Erina Nakiri bowed slightly.

Su Ze walked out the door.

He held Rina's hand in one hand and Uesawa's hand in the other.

Sending two unlucky kids to school.

Meanwhile, Erina Nakiri used another computer in the room to look at the 'strategy guide' that Su Ze had collected and compiled for her.

A densely packed collection of integrated information.

This content must have taken a lot of effort to create last night, right?

The attitude towards one's children.

Su Ze was more concerned than he was.

It's not that Erina Nakiri doesn't want to raise her children properly, but for her, this kind of thing involves skipping too many steps, leaving her unsure how to handle it.

I couldn't adjust my mindset and embrace a new life as quickly as Su Ze.

but.

Raising a son and a daughter is the result of both parties' joint efforts. It's no use for Su Ze to come up with a solution on his own. Nakiri Erina looked at the 'guide', pondered its contents, and absorbed some knowledge at the same time.

Let's put other things aside for now.

Knowing how to be a good mother is also very important.

Just as I was engrossed in watching it.

The call came again.

It was Hisako Shinto calling again.

"Moshi moshi, Erina, have you made up your mind?" Hisako Shinoto said cheerfully, "If you're going, let me know as soon as possible. If you're not going, the judges for this competition will be replaced by someone else."

Erina Nakiri was taken aback.

I immediately recalled this incident.

Judges of the Food Soul Competition.

She later looked up information about the competition. The Food Soul Competition is a competition where top chefs from various countries come to participate, and it is also a way for chefs to increase their fame.

A chef's high profile will also boost the reputation of the restaurants he runs.

Many unknown amateur chefs want to use this competition to make their dishes more famous, so there's no problem with her being a judge in this competition.

The tongue of God is the best tool.

Moreover, this is one of the few opportunities to connect with the outside world.

He was afraid that his grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri, was also there.

Erina Nakiri and Suze's 'affectionate' facade has been exposed, which means things are not good.

“Go.” Erina Nakiri gave a reply.

Cuisine ten years later.

She has never seen it before.

This is an opportunity to broaden one's horizons, and by not participating in such activities, one would be completely cut off from social interaction, and one will inevitably come into contact with the outside world sooner or later.

If you can get in touch with them as early as possible, then do so.

“Okay, bring Arisawa, Rina, and your man with you then.” Hisako Shinto didn’t miss the opportunity and said in a teasing tone.

Hisako Shinto would never have spoken to her in this tone before.

Ten years have passed, and a lot has changed.

However, the friendship has not changed, and Hisako Shinto's care is still exactly the same as it was ten years ago.

Wait a moment.

What is she saying?

Was it with Sawa? With Rina? And her man?

"Won't I be the judge?" Erina Nakiri said somewhat guiltily.

"Hmm, you'll be a judge for the competition, but they can come as the audience, their friends and family," Hisako Niito said doubtfully. "And Rina needs you to take care of her, right?"

“That guy Ze’s cooking skills aren’t as good as yours. Why don’t you let him take care of Rina alone for a few days…” Hisako Shinto thought about that scene.

It's so beautiful, I can't believe it.

That’s the truth. It is indeed the truth.

Erina Nakiri thought about it for a moment. Admittedly, Su Ze doted on Rina and Arisawa, and had shown the responsibility of a father in the past two days. But the problem was that pampering and being able to take care of them were two different things.

Without her, the issue of diet is an unsolvable problem.

Wait.

Su Ze returned home.

I need to have a serious talk with Su Ze about this.

“I’ll tell him later,” Erina Nakiri said, frowning. “And if there are any other things to note, let’s go over them here.”

Chapter 17 How about we start dating?

A long phone conversation that lasted more than ten minutes.

"Okay, I understand." Erina Nakiri took a deep breath.

in the living room.

Su Ze had already dropped Rina and the others off at school and returned home, where he sat down on the sofa.

Not having to go to school and having a freelance job is such a comfortable life.

There's absolutely nothing to do.

The only downside is that in such an environment, it will eventually decompose into a piece of trash.

"Whose call was that?" When Su Ze returned, he saw Erina answering the phone. After she hung up, he approached her and asked.

"Do you remember what I told you last time?" Erina Nakiri asked without hiding anything.

"So you're going to participate in a cooking competition and be a judge, right?" Su Ze's memory wasn't that of a fish; it only lasted seven seconds. He still remembered this.

“Yes.” Erina Nakiri continued, “I decided to go and take a look, because sooner or later I would have to come into contact with my social circle, but I ran into some trouble.”

"Have you run into some trouble?" Su Ze frowned.

"Hmm, if I become a judge, will you be able to take care of Rina and Arisawa's meals?" Erina Nakiri asked, sounding a bit troubled.

Su Ze is very confident in his cooking skills.

Everything about it is great except that it won't kill you.

But just this one point.

Then the death sentence can be pronounced.

Rina and Arisawa had already eaten Erina's cooking, so eating his cooking would be like sending them to their doom.

"So what do you mean?" Su Ze wanted to hear Erina's opinion.

“If we don’t go, we’re likely to stay trapped in this villa forever, lacking any interaction with the outside world. So, my idea is for us to go together,” Erina said thoughtfully.

"Go together?" Su Ze could understand this choice.

"However, we are facing a huge test." Su Ze had no choice but to lay out a problem, even if it was somewhat discouraging.

“I know nothing about your social circle,” Su Ze said, distressed. “Besides, wouldn’t it be easy for people to see through our pretense of being a couple?”

“The social circle is easy to handle.” Erina Nakiri took out her phone and said, “After all, we have phones. I’ll introduce you to people I’m close to beforehand with their photos.”

"When you meet them, as long as you recognize them, and you don't talk much the rest of the time, it will be difficult to expose any problems." Erina Nakiri thought the problem was very simple.

In fact, the entire test was about Su Ze's on-the-spot reaction.
