As a middle-class family with economic conditions far exceeding those of most people (at least Eriri thinks so), the Sawamura family would definitely not treat their children badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so even though the father deliberately kept a low profile, the brother and sister both attended public schools.

But despite this, the Sawamura family's means of transportation is still a very exaggerated mode of special car pick-up and butler farewell in the eyes of ordinary people.

The black luxury car was driving on the road to Toyonosaki Academy. In the driver's seat and the front passenger seat were the driver and butler specially arranged by their parents to take care of the two siblings' travel.

It's really the extravagant spending of rich people - if he were in this identity in real life, Ming Hai Toru would definitely sigh like this in his heart.

Rather, in the eyes of Toru Narumi, who had to squeeze into the tram or buy a second-hand bicycle to get around, he would not be able to experience the life of the rich if he had not carried out this simulation - at most, he only enjoyed this treatment thanks to Yukinoshita Haruno who participated in the first simulation.

However, since he had drawn this kind of family entry by relying on his own luck (and some persuasive talk to the system), Ming Hai certainly wouldn't belittle himself and think that he was unworthy of it - after all, this was just a simulation.

"Master and Miss, we have arrived at the school. I will still pick you up on time when school is over."

After the well-mannered butler said this, he stopped the car at the school gate and let the brother and sister get out.

In the car, Eriri, who had a sour face towards her brother, checked whether her clothes were appropriate, and immediately switched her expression seamlessly the moment she got off the car - the delicate face that always showed a coquettish and willful look blossomed into a casual smile that made people feel like spring breeze when she came into contact with passers-by.

"Oh, it's those two siblings...!"

"Both the brother and the sister are very pleasing to the eye!"

"It's great. My eyes were healed by the mixed-race brother and sister today..."

And Ming Hai also felt the gazes from his classmates the moment he got off the bus - this level of attention was a far cry from the fact that no one cared about him before.

However, humans are naturally inclined to look twice at others because of their outstanding appearance and prominent family background. As long as he realizes this, he will not feel too uneasy.

It seemed like Eriri was accustomed to this kind of scene. Unlike the unreasonable child she was at home, she calmly waved good morning to the classmates who were looking at her.

"Good morning, everyone. I hope you all have a great school day."

"Ah, Sawamura-san is still so approachable and polite...!"

All the students, both male and female, who were looked at with such gentle eyes by her, felt their hearts fluttering - the lethality of the beautiful girl from the school was fully demonstrated at this moment.

If he were not her brother, Ming Hai would probably be deceived by this perfectly disguised appearance and would treat this lady from a noble family differently.

But unfortunately, the memories of their daily life together from childhood to adulthood were too clear. Even if this was just a past supplemented by simulation, Ming Hai still couldn't look at his sister with the eyes of others - unless he wanted to have his legs broken by his biological father and sent to an orthopedic department in Germany.

"I really want to show these people what kind of sullen face the now gentle Eriri had in the car just now, but as a brother I can't tear down my sister at this time... Wait, it seems that I can do that?"

Unlike Eriri who actively greeted everyone in order to maintain her good image, the curly-haired boy simply nodded to the classmates who looked at him, and walked into the campus at the same pace as Eriri.

What he cared more about was where this simulation would lead to - and how it would be connected to his sister.

Chapter 3: Tsundere has retired!

After experiencing three different lives, Ming Hai has some feelings.

Although he is extremely sure of his own core - that no matter which simulation he is in, he is only playing himself under "specific conditions", he still has to admit that material conditions and the general environment play a vital role in influencing a person.

He is not the kind of sensitive teenager who would feel that he is inferior to others and then belittle himself and directly deny the meaning of his existence - after all, there is no conflict between not belittling oneself and acknowledging that people are born different.

There are many things in this world that you cannot overcome no matter how hard you try for most of your life, and this may be one of the reasons why most people seek a moment of peace and satisfaction in entertainment and movies.

Experiencing the life of a rich kid in a simulation may be no different from becoming a wealthy adventurer in the game.

"You tend to think too much at your age. The school is just a small sink. There are other sinks outside the sink, and there is also an endless sea. Just choose what you like."

Walking in the strange yet familiar corridor of the teaching building of Toyosaki Academy, Minghai, who was passing by the teacher's office, heard the teacher's earnest teachings to the students in the room.

Of course, how many people were forced to jump into a water tank they didn't like, and how many people died of drought on land before they could even get into the water - this is a topic that teachers will never mention.

It is the teacher's duty not to instill too many cruel rules that adults have learned in society into students who are still in the ivory tower. Ming Hai has no intention of making a long and indignant speech about this objective fact. It would be too cruel for him, a rich kid in this simulation, to bring up this phenomenon.

Ignore gravity and life is nothing but a free fall.

"It's just a simulation, but in this respect it's made to be as real as the real world."

With this thought in mind, he walked into the bathroom at the end of the corridor and washed his face with clean water in front of the mirror.

The light golden curls reflected by the mirror are indeed particularly eye-catching, and it is obvious that they are natural in a way that hair dye cannot achieve.

However, Ming Hai's facial contour and facial features have not changed much, even the color of his lake blue pupils has not changed much. But just changing his hair color and proper styling management have made him exude a completely different temperament from the past.

It seems that he is not without the potential to transform himself into a handsome pretty boy. As long as he has good aesthetic sense and appropriate styling transformation, he may be able to stand out and join Ye Shan's group of popular actors.

"But it's too troublesome. I don't want to bother with it."

He nonchalantly looked at the face, which was exactly the same as before but somehow even more handsome, wiped it clean with a tissue, then turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Come to think of it, never mind Hayato Hayama and his group of current stars. Neither Hikigaya Hachiman, Yukinoshita Yukino, nor even Yuigahama Yui attend Toyonosaki Academy. The feeling of being suddenly thrown into an environment where there is no one familiar with anyone is really a bit overwhelming.

Ah, of course, my "sister" can barely be considered an acquaintance.

"It's almost time for class, brother...ahem, brother."

As soon as I walked out of the bathroom, the figure of the blonde girl suddenly came into my sight - it seemed that Eriri Sawamura had been waiting here for a long time.

Although she said considerate words, her little face, as delicate as a doll, was full of reluctance and difficulty, as if it was a very difficult task for her to say the word "brother" in person.

Although the two twins are brother and sister, they were actually born only a few seconds apart. As they grew up and entered school, their father arranged them to be in the same class in the same school so that they could take care of each other.

This should be the reason why Eriri came to find me and went back to the classroom together.

The curly-haired boy raised his eyebrows and noticed that his classmates in the corridor would occasionally look over here. He quickly realized the reason behind Eriri's extremely awkward behavior.

"Eri, should you try your best to play the role of "perfect model students, the Sawamura siblings" even at this time?"

He shrugged, expressing his confusion in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Don't deny my persistence in the first half of my life in such a casual tone, Toru. Do you think it's easy to behave like a young lady all the time?"

When only her brother in front of her could see her expression, Miss Eriri returned to her straightforward yet willful and capricious self that she only showed in front of her family.

Moreover, in private occasions, she prefers to call her brother by his name, as if she feels that calling him "Ouni-chan" is a great disadvantage.

This guy is so uncute.

"I don't mind if you want to pretend to be a lady forever. After all, it's amazing to pretend to be a lady for your whole life. I just think it's tiring to have to pay attention to how you look in other people's eyes all the time."

Ming Hai didn't take his sister's willfulness and blatant disdain to heart - after all, he was a person who was insensitive to both positive and negative emotions.

He was just curious about what kind of surprises and joys this sister would bring him.

"Nonsense, do you think I want to?"

Ying Lili rolled her eyes at him fiercely. She was completely different from the gentle and proper person she was in front of her teachers and classmates. Instead, she acted like a reckless and unbridled brat.

"Che, you are able to ignore other people's feelings and opinions of you only because you have good grades and are eloquent... you have the confidence to do so. And I..."

Eriri found it difficult to say this, but Ming Hai knew what she wanted to make up.

Sawamura Eriri has a beautiful girl appearance, but actually hides the temperament of a spoiled and irritable princess. She has a mixed-race face but always ranks last in English. She tries to please the people around her with her approachable and friendly social skills, and hides the fact that she is not good at studying, has average physical fitness, and is not good at dealing with close interpersonal relationships.

Just as Eriri, as his younger sister, understands his personality, Ming Hai, as his older brother, actually knows very well what kind of person this girl in front of him who looks 70% similar to him is.

Even though this was just a simulation of the memories and experiences that were "instilled" into him, it felt as real as if it were an experience he had truly summed up himself.

"Oh... no wonder."

Ming Hai rolled his eyes, and a question that had been lingering in his mind was finally answered.

“…No wonder what?”

Eriri also narrowed her eyes in slight confusion.

"I was wondering why you seem to be somewhat resistant and repulsive to me, Eriri. Is it because being compared to your brother is inevitable, but you are always considered the loser?"

"........."

Now it was Eriri's turn to be silent.

She stood there speechless, and when she raised her head she showed an extremely indignant expression.

It seemed as if he was confused as to why Ming Hai wanted to expose this matter, and it also seemed as if he was questioning whether he really didn't understand it until now.

"That's why I hate you the most, Toru!"

After saying this, Eriri turned around and left angrily, not caring at all that her newly created "perfect sister who cares for her brother" persona had already created some cracks in the hearts of the students who occasionally glanced over her.

Ming Hai still stood there calmly, watching her go away, with a relaxed and happy arc on the corner of his mouth. No one knew whether his low EQ straight shot just now was intentional or accidental.

Good news, it seems his sister is much more interesting than he first thought.

Chapter 4 This is an ethical issue

Although it may be a bit offensive and really deserve a beating to say this, Ming Hai found that being a popular person on campus is not an easy life at all.

Not only did the teacher's "special care" in class mean that he could not slack off as usual, but whenever he was in school, he would be stared at by countless classmates during his spare time. This feeling of being in the center of the spotlight all the time made him feel a little at a loss at first, as he was used to picking his nose secretly in the corner of class photos.

However, our classmate Ming Hai may not be good at other things - but he has an outstanding ability to adapt to the environment.

The teacher asked multiple-choice questions with a smile on his face? I went straight to the blackboard and wrote out detailed steps to solve the questions, which were comparable to those in science subjects!

Are classmates shy about greeting you? I will take the initiative to say good morning, good afternoon and good night!

Was I isolated and treated hostilely by some boys in PE class because I was too handsome and had excellent grades? I easily left them behind in the 100-meter sprint and 1,000-meter long-distance race!

After becoming a handsome, rich man with excellent character, academic performance and physical fitness, Ming Hai completely let go of his inhibitions and carried out in this simulation all the things he had not dared to do before or found troublesome - just like a player running rampant and doing whatever he wants in the game world.

"If I am more handsome than Pan An and more talented than Jay Chou, I don't care how I am targeted. The world kisses me with pain and I respond with handsomeness, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and unrestrained and romantic..."

Adhering to the attitude of "I won't make a fuss if I can't get it, and I will be fearless if I am favored", he spent a day on campus that was completely different from real life.

From being an unknown and invisible person to suddenly becoming a celebrity who is the center of attention, this intense excitement of climbing to the top of the campus pyramid lasted for a long time - but there will always be a time to come down and fall to the bottom.

It was quite nice to experience a very real life, and it completely overturned Minghai's past impression of the boring ivory tower campus.

Of course, this feeling of freshness is not bad.

If Yamada was here, he would probably smile expressionlessly and joke, "Narumi, you're so flexible. Are you a spring man? Or SpongeBob?"

But unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to see my real friend Yamada in the simulation.

"Ah...I actually miss him a little bit when I can't see him anymore."

After fully exploring this simulation and its novel settings like a little kid and returning with a full load, what remains is the emptiness after satisfaction.

It was like he had made up his mind to spend the most guaranteed money to finally get the SSR sage time. Ming Hai, who was originally very playful and in high spirits, gradually became restrained as school was over and began to think about his friends in real life.

There's nothing he can do about it. When he goes crazy, Yamada always goes crazy with him, and sometimes even crazier than him. He has become accustomed to having such a person by his side when he is having fun.

But since he was the only one participating in this game, he was destined to not be able to share the gaming experience with his close ones.

After all, Toru Narumi is always alone in the simulation.

No… maybe that’s not necessarily the case.

As the sun sets, the narrow corridor is bathed in warm orange light.

The curly-haired boy no longer leaned his upper body on the guardrail, withdrew his gaze from the track and field, and turned to the blonde girl who was walking slowly towards him.

His twin sister, Eriri Sawamura, was carrying her schoolbag and waiting for him to come home.

"…What are you standing there for, idiot Tooru. Did you use up all your energy by overacting in class?"

Miss Eriri must have been referring to the fact that he wrote down a bunch of steps to solve the problem on the blackboard without saying a word. In any case, Minghai was very sure that this guy definitely didn't understand it.

"Why? I thought Eriri hated me the most and wouldn't come to chat with me anymore."

"Ah, that's right. But you are my brother after all...so do you want to go home together? I've waited for you for so long, so forget it."

Although the words were still impolite, I could hear a hint of concern in them. It turned out that there were people in the simulation who would care about me unconditionally.

Perhaps making Eriri Sawamura and I siblings and getting care and support from our relatives is also part of the system's arrangement.

Even though all this is fake, will end soon, and is impossible to happen in reality...it still feels good.

"Let's go, let's go home."

The curly-haired boy smiled and patted the blonde girl's head, as if he was soothing a grumpy little animal - but Eriri, who understood the meaning, was not happy with it and slapped his hand away with great displeasure.

"What are you doing? It's like you're patting a pet's head. And can you please not bump into me suddenly? You've messed up my hair!"

Thanks to the fact that there was no one around, Eriri could frankly make a face and stick out her tongue at Minghai, revealing her true face of being mischievous, yet willful and spoiled.

As expected, there are no girls in cartoons who would blush and lower their heads shyly when being touched on the head. They would only give you a fierce look that said "Don't touch my hair!", and there is no shyness at all.

"Really? A guy like you, Toru, who has such a weird personality, is so popular just because he's handsome and good at studying... Let's all eat something good!"

After saying these vicious words, Miss Eriri walked ahead on her own.

Then, he came face to face with a boy with glasses and short black hair who came out from the corner.
