After reading this line, Bronya nodded thoughtfully.

Judging by the display, each attribute was incredibly appealing, and the popularity was equally high.

If she could combine all these attributes, wouldn't she be invincible?

"It's a shame I can't fulfill the childhood sweetheart and blonde hair requirements. As for the rest..."

"I don't understand tsundere, but since it's a personality type, I can act it out. Bronya with twin tails fits perfectly. As for the last point, that can also be..."

After some thought, Bronya nodded. "Then it's decided."

"Heavy Cannon Rabbit, find some videos about tsundere. Bronya needs to imitate and learn."

Upon hearing Bronya's command, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit immediately opened a certain website and began playing videos.

Bronya, too, started watching from a perspective of learning and critique.

Bronya had received rigorous assassin training since childhood, leaving her with almost no time for entertainment. The only thing she enjoyed was Honkai.

Now, to complete her mission, Bronya was experiencing online anime culture for the first time, which was undoubtedly opening a new world for her.

However, as Bronya watched, her brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Is this... anime? Ew... that's so weird."

"Bronya has to imitate this? It's really embarrassing..."

A while later, Su Moqian, who had prepared dinner, gently knocked on Bronya's door.

"Bronya, time to eat."

As soon as he spoke, a coquettish shout suddenly came from the room:

"Baka! Hentai! Usuratonkachi!"

Su Moqian froze. "?"

"Is that Bronya? No, that's not right. Why would a normal person talk like that? She must be watching some anime."

Thinking this, Su Moqian knocked on the door again.

"Hey, Bronya, stop watching and come eat."

The next moment, the door slowly opened.

As Bronya opened the door, she looked at Su Moqian's calm expression with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

This isn't right. Didn't they say that men get very excited when a girl calls them that in a business-like voice?

Did something go wrong?

Seeing Bronya's hesitant expression, Su Moqian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Bronya? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, a flash of light appeared in Bronya's eyes.

I know this one!

She slightly turned her head, a blush coloring her cheeks, and her lips parted slightly.

"I, I don't need your concern!"

Su Moqian: "..."

What's with this strong textbook-like tsundere vibe?

Bronya was fine just a moment ago, why is she like this as soon as she entered the room?

What on earth has she been watching while she was holed up in there?!

Bronya kept observing Su Moqian's expression. Noticing his increasingly strange look, Bronya also became confused.

Why isn't this working either? Is Japanese tsundere not to the liking of Shenzhou people?

But it's okay. Heavy Cannon Rabbit also found videos of Shenzhou-style tsundere earlier, and I've studied them too!

Then, Bronya raised her right hand, placed it on Su Moqian's hand, and looked up at him.

"Alright, help this empress to the dining table."

Su Moqian: "(???)"

After a moment of silence, Su Moqian reached out and placed his hand on Bronya's forehead.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you have a fever?"

"Bronya doesn't have a fever!" Bronya immediately retorted.

"Okay, okay, you can say whatever you want later. Let's go eat first."

Su Moqian sighed and gently patted Bronya's head.

"My mom isn't coming home tonight. I made dinner. Want to try my cooking?"

Bronya looked up at Su Moqian, gazing at his sincere face, and nodded gently.

"Since you've said so, there's really nothing I can do."

At the dinner table.

Su Moqian asked with a smile, "How is my cooking?"

"Hmm, I didn't expect it to be not bad," Bronya praised softly.

"Of course, most men in Shenzhou know how to cook."

Su Moqian spread his hands, acting as if it were a common thing.

Looking at Bronya, who was eating, Su Moqian could now roughly guess that Bronya had been playing mind games with him earlier.

She might not have reacted immediately upon their first encounter, but after a while, she would naturally notice something was off.

Thinking about Bronya's changes this morning and just now, Su Moqian mused thoughtfully:

"Was she testing which type I prefer? Could it be that she also wants to conquer me?"

But why would that be?

In the simulation, Bronya was influenced by an evolved version of the "Yandere Magnet."

However, in reality, his talent hadn't evolved, so that clearly wasn't the reason.

"Forget it, as long as they don't make a move against me and Mei, I don't care about anything else."

"If she really wants to conquer me, then it aligns perfectly with my own intentions."

Although Su Moqian had decided he wanted to conquer Bronya, his attitude towards her hadn't changed significantly.

Su Moqian had learned about how to conduct himself and leverage situations from his father, but his dad clearly wouldn't teach his son how to navigate the complexities of romance.

And while Su Moqian was excellent in all aspects and always popular with girls, he had only dated Raiden Mei so far.

For some reason, the girls who had openly pursued him before high school later stopped daring to make a public display, and he didn't know what had happened.

Therefore, he lacked experience in pursuing women, let alone using any tactics.

Thus, the only thing Su Moqian could do was to interact with others with his genuine heart.

"Just remember, there's no need to claim credit for your actions, and don't expect gratitude from others. Then, sincerity is the best way to counter tactics!"

If you are exceptionally good to someone to gain their favor, that's being a simp.

But if you are exceptionally good to someone to gain your own peace of mind, that is called love.

His relationship with Raiden Mei, spanning over a decade, was built on mutual trust and understanding. Even if the other party did something incomprehensible, they would instinctively trust them.

And the things he later did for Mei were not to win her favor or to win her back; he simply wanted to do them.

Therefore, Su Moqian never intended for Mei to know about the things he did behind her back.

And now, facing Bronya, Su Moqian was the same.

No matter what tactics the other person used, if he simply responded with sincerity and didn't harbor any greedy desires, he wouldn't get hurt.

This is like standing tall on a thousand-foot cliff; without desire, one is strong.

After finishing dinner, Su Moqian and Bronya watched TV in the living room for a while longer.

Although Bronya was once again using her acting skills to portray the perfect tsundere girlfriend persona, Su Moqian simply responded with a normal attitude.

Soon, it was past midnight.

Su Moqian usually didn't stay up this late, but he deliberately did so to start the simulation as soon as possible.

After all, it was Bronya's unexpected actions yesterday that prevented him from achieving the happy ending of a peaceful old age.

Now that Bronya had settled down, there shouldn't be any more accidents this time, right?

With that thought, Su Moqian spoke:

"System, start today's simulation!"

[Alright! This simulation will begin immediately!]

[Day 1...]

[...]

Su Moqian: "?"

After waiting for a while, Su Moqian was surprised to find that the simulation interface was still just ellipses.

Puzzled, he couldn't help but ask, "System, what does this mean? Did another shocking accident occur?"

At this moment, Su Moqian's heart began to panic, and he started overthinking.

Hearing this, the System was silent for a moment, then said awkwardly:

[Um, I'm sorry, Host. Because of what I did for you last night, this System's energy is depleted again and hasn't recovered yet.]

Hearing this, Su Moqian's expression darkened:

"So you're saying today's simulation is postponed again?"

[Ehehe~] The System tried to play it cute.

However, Su Moqian wasn't buying it at all and immediately berated it:

"You have the nerve to go ehehe?!"

"You really can't take a compliment, can you? I just praised you last night, and today you're dropping the ball, right?"

This darn System, the only thing it never failed to deliver was disappointment.

[Um, Host, don't worry, I'll be able to recover my energy today. I promise tomorrow's simulation absolutely won't be missed!]

"...Alright, alright, the System is a no-show, what can I, the Host, do about it." Su Moqian sighed helplessly.

Today was a wasted all-nighter. He should just go to bed early, he had class tomorrow.

The clock had passed midnight, and the night was deep and quiet.

Inside Kiana's rented room.

Kiana, who was fast asleep in bed, had a serene smile on her face, like a carefree child.

But for some reason, the next moment, her brows suddenly furrowed, as if she had dreamt of something...

Kiana suddenly opened her eyes and found herself sitting in a classroom.

Looking at the scene before her, Kiana couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Didn't she just fall asleep? How did she end up in class in the blink of an eye?

"Did I sleep through it?" Kiana murmured in confusion.

Just then, a piece of chalk suddenly flew over and hit Kiana right on the forehead.
