"Grandpa's here~"
"You!" This time, Raiden Mei's face flushed with anger.
Mei knew Su Moqian was well aware she couldn't cook.
Back when they were together, he'd even eaten every last bite of the "culinary disaster" she'd made just to spare her feelings. And even after it upset his stomach, he'd still comforted her by saying it was "delicious."
But now that they'd broken up, Su Moqian was actually making fun of her? He'd never treated me like this before!
At the same time, Su Moqian realized he'd let something slip and quickly covered his mouth, feeling a little flustered.
When he'd been with Raiden Mei, he'd always treated her with the utmost restraint and consideration.
But now that they'd broken up, he'd suddenly felt like teasing Mei—and accidentally taken it too far.
Just as the silence between them was growing awkward, a passerby happened to glance at them, then shook his head and said,
"Tsk. Young couples bickering."
Raiden Mei: "..."
Su Moqian: "..."
After a brief silence, Su Moqian cleared his throat twice and said in a gentler tone,
"Ahem. We can argue about that later. Let's eat first."
As he spoke, Su Moqian held the lunch box out to Mei again.
Don't go hungry, you idiot.
This time, Mei didn't refuse. She took it gently, then turned her head and said softly,
"L-let's get this straight first. That wasn't a couple's spat. We were just having an ordinary argument."
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say." Su Moqian nodded, then asked,
"Want to eat on the rooftop?"
"No. Let's stay here. There might be other people on the rooftop." Raiden Mei shook her head.
Hearing this, Su Moqian paused with his hand on his lunch box.
Did Mei not want anyone else to see her with me?
At the thought, Su Moqian lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He simply opened his lunch box and prepared to eat.
But just as he took his first bite, Mei's voice sounded again.
"Moqian, you'd better not talk to me too much for a while..."
Su Moqian froze, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I understand..."
As he smiled, Su Moqian put his lunch box away, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"M-Moqian..."
Seeing Su Moqian leave without hesitation, Mei felt a little flustered, but in the end, she didn't try to stop him.
Raiden Mei knew all too well what her situation was like at Senba Academy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was despised by everyone.
She couldn't bear to ruin Su Moqian's school life because of her.
Besides, to keep him safe, Raiden Mei needed Su Moqian to keep his distance from her.
Back when they hadn't attended the same academy, breaking up had been enough.
But now that Su Moqian had transferred to Senba Academy, she had no choice but to do this.
In the future she'd seen, Honkai erupted in Changkong City, and disaster struck.
It all happened too fast. They hadn't had time to react and could only flee in a panic.
In the end, Su Moqian was gravely injured by a Honkai Beast while protecting her, and he ultimately died at the hands of Mei, who'd lost control.
When Raiden Mei saw that scene, she couldn't believe their future could end that way.
Yet the memory felt so real, as if she'd lived through it herself. Her instincts told her she'd better believe it, or she'd regret it.
Raiden Mei couldn't be sure whether she'd be able to control herself as soon as Honkai erupted.
If things really went as Thunder Law had shown her, with a gravely injured Su Moqian dying at the hands of his rampaging self, she'd never be able to accept that outcome.
So Raiden Mei could only comfort herself. "It's okay. I'll tell him the truth once everything is over."
"Once Moqian knows the truth, he'll surely forgive me..."
That afternoon, in class.
The teacher watched Su Moqian listening attentively and nodded with satisfaction.
She'd thought this student with connections would be a troublemaker, but it turned out he was pretty good.
In a better mood, the teacher began lecturing with even greater enthusiasm.
But in reality, although Su Moqian seemed to be listening attentively, he was actually arguing with the Blondie Simulator inside him.
Hearing those words with his own ears had shaken him a little, even though he trusted Mei.
Even so, Su Moqian hadn't given up.
It was class, so he couldn't go ask his classmates for information.
That meant the only thing he could rely on right now was the Blondie Simulator.
The Blondie Simulator currently provided one free simulation each day.
If you wanted more chances, you had to pay the corresponding currency: Wish Power.
It really lived up to its motto: "[Create happiness with your salary.]"
There was one more thing: you could only claim the settlement rewards from a simulation once per day.
No matter how many times he simulated, Su Moqian could only choose one reward.
After learning the rules, Su Moqian couldn't help asking,
"System, do you take QQ Coins?"
Regardless, these were the simulator's rules, and as its user, he had to accept them.
So Su Moqian had no choice but to say to the system,
"System, start today's simulation."
[At the host's request, the simulation begins now!] [Day 1. Your first encounter with Raiden Mei didn't go well, and even you couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Perhaps because you still trusted her, you didn't give up completely.] [But this system hopes the host won't trust her blindly. Hurry up and throw yourself into this system's embrace and become a great Blondie!]
Su Moqian's mouth twitched. "Why does this lousy system keep slipping its own agenda into the simulation results?"
[Day 2. By chance, you overheard Raiden Mei talking to herself behind the school building. After listening for a while, you still couldn't figure out her motives, but you did confirm your suspicions.] [For some reason, Mei had to stay away from you while carrying out her plan. It wasn't what she truly wanted.] [After confirming this, you didn't rashly approach Mei. Instead, you decided to go along with her plan, analyze the situation more rationally, and help her in secret.]
Reading the simulation, Su Moqian's eyes lit up. I knew my analysis was right!
Chapter 14: The Yandere Girl, Again
Reality wasn't some romance novel. People who cared about each other wouldn't get caught up in all sorts of conflict over a little misunderstanding.
All that breaking up and getting back together could drag on for dozens of chapters.
A truly mature person wouldn't make a decision on impulse. They'd only reach a conclusion after calmly observing the truth.
That was exactly how Su Moqian was.
He'd spent more than ten years with Raiden Mei. If their bond was that deep and he still couldn't trust her, then making some rash move over just a word or two was something he'd never do.
[Day 3. After learning about Mei's situation at Senba Academy, you continued to protect her in secret. You didn't care that she had no idea what you'd done.] [That morning, Kiana came to discuss something with you. Raiden Mei seemed concerned about the relationship between the two of you.] [Also, while slacking off at school, you suddenly realized that a few of your classmates hadn't shown up for two days in a row.]
"Kiana came to discuss something with me? Did something else happen recently?" Su Moqian picked up on that detail at once.
With questions in mind, Su Moqian kept reading.
[Day 4. You slacked off at school, and a few more classmates went missing. The police finally took notice, but they couldn't find a single clue.]
"A mysterious disappearance case?" Su Moqian furrowed his brow.
He'd come to Senba Academy for a peaceful, ordinary life and to keep Mei from doing anything foolish.
But how had things turned into a mystery story before even a few days had passed?
At the thought, Su Moqian felt a trace of foreboding.
He knew that, given his personality, he'd definitely get involved.
[Day 5. After sensing something was wrong, you decided to investigate.]
Su Moqian nodded. "Just as I thought."
[Day 6. While investigating, you found a clue with remarkable ease, and everything went smoothly until you found the target's base. When you chose to break in, you were captured without a hitch.]
"???"
"Wait, what do you mean, 'captured without a hitch'? Explain yourself, you lousy system!"
Su Moqian was certain the system had slipped in its own agenda and was deliberately making him look bad!
"With my abilities, finding clues that easily is possible, but there's no way I'd get captured that easily!"
Of course, despite what he said, Su Moqian quietly memorized this information and decided to be more cautious in the future.
[You were shocked to discover that the person behind it all was Asakura Miyuki. Furious, you tried to fight her, but after being secretly drugged, you were no match for the Honkai-corrupted Asakura Miyuki. In the end, you became one of the missing.]
"Wait, Asakura Miyuki? Why is it her again?"
Su Moqian furrowed his brow, feeling that things were starting to take a strange turn.
[Day 7. From today onward, you were forced to practice Gun Fu with Asakura Miyuki night and day.] [Day N. Though your will was strong, your body couldn't resist Asakura Miyuki. In the end, everything from the neck down gave in, leaving only your mouth stubborn.] [This simulation has ended.] [Congratulations, host, on achieving the ending: "The Yandere Girl's Plaything"] [Based on the results of this simulation, your rewards are: Poison Resistance Level 2, Gun Fu Level 2.] [This ending is rated E rank. Your Wish Power reward is: 40 points.]
Seeing how the simulation had ended, Su Moqian fell silent.
He couldn't understand. Why had it turned out this way?
After rescuing Asakura Miyuki, he'd barely interacted with her. So why had she set her sights on him?
[Because of love~ A simple feeling that can still make you go crazy for someone at any time~]
"Get lost! You're calling me her plaything. What does that have to do with love?!" Su Moqian said, his scalp tingling.
The system retorted, [Isn't that going crazy for love?]
"...Just go. Far away."
Su Moqian took a deep breath and began to think about what could have caused this.
He'd come here for Raiden Mei, so why had this yandere girl stolen the spotlight from him twice in a row?!
