I found a life simulator.

Su Ze readily agreed and fulfilled all of their requests.

However, Su Ze did not expect that this incident would leave such a deep impression on Erina Nakiri.

Or.

Did Erina Nakiri lack a sense of security from a young age? Is that why she's particularly concerned about such promises?

At this time.

For some reason, Su Ze felt a pang of heartache again.

While Su Ze was tossing and turning with his eyes closed, worrying about Erina, on a certain video website on the Internet, the number of views for a food video was increasing rapidly due to a push effect.

The number of followers on Su Ze's personal account also surged and never returned.

.......

Something came up, so there will only be one update today.

I'll make up for it tomorrow afternoon at 3 PM.

Chapter 57 Kirisu Mafuyu, the Perfectionist Educator

"breakfast?"

"Aze! Breakfast!"

"I'm hungry!"

He could hear a faint, indistinct voice calling his name, but Su Ze couldn't wake up. He hadn't slept well the night before, leaving him feeling listless. The voice, which sounded like he was talking in his sleep, but wasn't quite, failed to rouse him from his deep sleep.

I don't know how long I slept.

Su Ze opened his eyes, still feeling a bit sleepy.

"Maybe I overslept?" Su Ze rubbed his neck. He was about to get up and make his bed when he suddenly realized that an uninvited guest had barged into his room.

Shiina Mashiro.

He lay down on his bed and slept.

What's worse, the other person wasn't covered by a blanket, but was just lying on the bed in their underwear. Wouldn't they catch a cold sleeping like that?

Su Ze was startled awake.

Was that voice just now... Shiina Mashiro urging him to make breakfast?

what time is it?

Su Ze reached for his phone on the bedside table with his left hand. Having just woken up, Su Ze squinted at the glowing phone screen.

8: 21!

I'm late!

No, we're already late!

Now that he was confirmed to be late, Su Ze was no longer in a hurry. Since he was going to be late anyway, he first spread the blanket over Shiina Mashiro.

The curtains were drawn back.

"Aze, you're finally awake." Shiina Mashiro, wrapped in a blanket, noticed the movement beside her, turned around, and repeated her previous words, "I'm hungry."

“Let me correct you, you should call me brother-in-law.” Su Ze sighed and said, “Next time you come to my room, remember to knock, and don’t sleep so casually in my bed.”

"Oh." Shiina Mashiro nodded. "I knocked on the door, but you didn't respond. I was too sleepy just now, and I think I accidentally fell asleep again."

Su Ze did indeed oversleep this time.

Su Ze was too embarrassed to give such a high-sounding lecture.

Let's make breakfast first.

Then, Shiina Mashiro was sent to her school.

anyway.

What's going on with so many missed calls on my phone?

Su Ze stared at the unfamiliar phone number, slightly lost in thought. He liked to put his phone on vibrate so he wouldn't hear it ring when he was sound asleep.

The call came again.

Su Ze answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Suze?" Kirisu Mafuyu's serious voice rang out from the other end of the phone. "You're already an hour late."

In the days since the start of the school year, Su Ze has gradually integrated into the new teaching life. Although Kirisu Mafuyu is not his teacher, she is the class teacher in charge of the class.

"I'm sorry," Su Ze replied, expressing his remorse.

In this era, during our student years, being late is something that should absolutely not happen.

But are Japanese teachers really that responsible? Making so many phone calls to check on someone who was an hour late?

Su Ze was wrong about that.

It's not that teachers in Japan are particularly responsible; most teachers simply finish teaching what they're supposed to teach and then leave when it's time to go home. It's that Ms. Kirisu Mafuyu is relatively more responsible. More importantly, the two of them are neighbors.

The close neighborly relationship elevated the importance that Kirisu Mafuyu placed on Suze's studies.

The student living next door was not doing well in school and had picked up a lot of bad habits, which was due to her, the homeroom teacher, being irresponsible towards the students. Kirisu Mafuyu, who had a strong sense of social responsibility, subconsciously took extra care of Su Ze.

“If there’s anything very important that’s on your personal schedule, I can ask for a day off for you today,” Kirisu Mafuyu said meticulously. “However, as a student, I personally suggest that you prioritize your studies.”

"Self-control is the instinct of the strongest."

"Sometimes, it's better to control your desires."

"Teacher, do you have some misunderstanding about me?" Su Ze couldn't help but complain. What was with this tone that suspected Su Ze of overindulging in sex?

"Really?" Kirisu Mafuyu asked in return.

"No?" Su Ze asked in return.

"Your girlfriend stayed at your place last night, right?" Kirisu Mafuyu continued, "Just now, I asked Ogata, the student who delivered the food to the wrong address yesterday, at school. She told me that she and your girlfriend had a pleasant conversation last night, but when I pressed her for details, she became evasive."

"At that time, it was really late no matter how you look at it. What could possibly happen if someone stayed overnight? Don't think your teacher doesn't know." Kirisu Mafuyu speculated about the completely abnormal thought process in a serious tone.

However, when Kirisu Mafuyu couldn't get through on the phone, she did go to Ogata Riju to inquire about the situation, and what she found out was quite shocking.

"I really, really hope that Su Ze can focus on improving his grades first. I saw your placement test results, and you were at the bottom of the class. If things continue like this, you can't rely on your girlfriend to support you, can you?"

"Why don't you think about it carefully?" Kirisu Mafuyu gave Su Ze some time to think. "Getting married and having children requires a lot of money, right?"

"If you want to work hard and earn money, a diploma is especially important."

Su Ze was speechless. The placement test was taken before enrollment, and it was a Japanese test that Su Ze was not familiar with. It was normal for him to fail the placement test, but what Kirisu Mafuyu said made him feel ashamed.

There's absolutely no way to refute it.

These are the righteous words of an upright teacher.

It would be even better if you didn't make any unfounded assumptions!

"Understood, I will study hard!" Su Ze perked up and said in a serious tone. Now that he could put his mind at ease, Ms. Mafuyu should be able to rest assured, right?

Although he was being lectured, Su Ze didn't resent it. After all, Kirisu Mafuyu wasn't saying that she would force couples apart for the sake of academic performance. She just hoped that Su Ze would focus on his studies and ensure that he could have a good future to take care of his girlfriend.

Aside from her own imagination, Kirisu Mafuyu still tried to reason with Suze as an equal, which left Suze with no reason to refute her teachings.

Besides, everything that Ms. Mafuyu said is correct.

“How about this, you come to my apartment every night to do your homework, and I’ll tutor you,” Kirisu Mafuyu said with a conscientious attitude. “It’s also quite close by.”

"First, raise your academic level to the class average."

"As a Chinese student studying abroad, if your studies don't keep up with the class average, and you get into arguments, it's easy to be ostracized, right?"

Kirisu Mafuyu seems to have a deep-seated aversion to certain phenomena at school.

Upon hearing this, Su Ze was taken aback. "Isn't that unnecessary, teacher?"

"Don't worry, as long as you finish your homework, I'll just correct your mistakes and check it for you before letting you go back. It won't affect your relationship," Kirisu Mafuyu said with a smile.

In her apartment, there were tons of unfinished, blank test questions that no one had done.

These papers can be used to improve Su Ze's studies. Once the couple finishes these tests and goes home, they probably won't have much time or energy left to be lovey-dovey.

This not only improved students' academic performance but also indirectly prevented the occurrence of 'excessive indulgence'.

Kirisu Mafuyu sighed.

This is what a teacher should do.

This can be considered a good deed.

At that time, during the teaching process, we can also secretly instill the mindset of a good man and cultivate a responsible and good husband and a good man. That would be good and would also be a small contribution to the couple.

As an educator, one must guide students not only academically but also morally, leading them onto the right path so they can progress smoothly.

That's what makes a good educator.

"I'm here to solve a case, but you're telling me to date?"

Chapter 58: The Video Goes Viral, Attack on Nakiri Alice

Su Ze never imagined that returning to 2016 would not be about envisioning a grand future and taking a step forward in his career, but rather about being closely watched and forced to study hard.

However, he doesn't mind this. There's a saying that goes something like this.

Do the right thing at the right time.

At eighteen, the best thing to do is to study, and the foundation built during this time will almost become the cornerstone of your future life.

Some people might say that even if you don't study hard now, there are still opportunities in the future. Yes, that's true. Even if you don't study hard now, there are still opportunities in the future because the future is unknown. Just because you're not doing well now doesn't mean the future is bleak. As long as you work hard enough and are more dedicated than others, there is still a chance to create miracles in the unknown future.

However, studying hard now is definitely much less strenuous than studying hard later.

Su Ze has a deep understanding of this.

Moreover, he has a lot of room to express his feelings because he put in more time and effort than his peers in the future to finally achieve a perfect life.

This process is exhausting.

Now, I feel a sense of relief after all the hardship.

The knowledge and experience he acquired are his most valuable assets and the key to his rapid rise.

Su Ze didn't dislike Kirisu Mafuyu's strictness towards him academically. On the contrary, Su Ze found the experience interesting and felt a youthful feeling of becoming younger. Su Ze even wondered if Nakiri Erina was also being forced to take extra classes by her grandfather.

A ding-dong sound.

The microwave oven interrupted Su Ze's thoughts.

As breakfast was served.

Suze and Shiina Mashiro enjoyed their meal slowly and deliberately.

At 9 o'clock sharp, Su Ze and Shiina Mashiro finally finished cleaning up the dishes and left the house.

Su Ze needed to get Shiina Mashiro to school first; otherwise, she might get lost if she went to school alone, and Su Ze was worried about that.

Sitting on the tram.

Su Ze looked out the glass window of the workshop. Under the gentle sunlight, the sea shimmered, as if glowing with a faint golden light. The pale blue sky cut through the intersection of the sea and the sky, creating a perfect seascape painting.

The scenery is beautiful.

Shiina Mashiro kept staring at that scene.

During the break in the car, Su Ze glanced at his phone. The food video he posted yesterday had somehow surpassed 100,000 views. All his videos combined didn't have as many views as this one video posted in just one night.

The number of views is still increasing.

Su Ze recalled that these kinds of video websites have a feature called "information feed". Generally, if a video gets a lot of clicks in a short period of time, it will be pushed to the homepage of viewers who frequently watch videos in that area.

When a viewer's profile shows increased coins, likes, and retention rates, they will be featured on the leaderboard in the main category section.
