I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

The old man's sudden words and smile made Qin Nuo instinctively take a step back, feeling puzzled.

Was Liang Zisu still a student of this Mr. Liu?

What did he mean by "changed so much"?

Was he not like this before, or did he not look like this?

Despite his confusion, Qin Nuo followed along and replied, "Understood, Mr. Liu, I'll definitely keep it in mind."

Mr. Liu smiled with satisfaction and patted Qin Nuo on the shoulder. "You like Teacher Qiu, don't you? Young man, if you like her, go after her boldly. I was the same back in the day."

Qin Nuo asked in confusion, "Teacher, doesn't Teacher Qiu have a boyfriend? Didn't you know?"

"Does she? Oh, maybe she does. I think I heard her mention it recently. Ah, look at my brain, always forgetting things, haha!"

Mr. Liu patted his head and laughed awkwardly.

"No worries, with how much you've changed and how handsome you are now, if my niece weren't so young, I'd introduce her to you."

"Whenever I see a single girl, I'll introduce her to you!" Mr. Liu seemed very enthusiastic, or perhaps he really liked Liang Zisu.

Qin Nuo's expression turned a bit strange, and he said, "Teacher, I don't think I really need that."

"How could you not need it? You were just saying the other day that you didn't have a partner and wanted me to introduce someone to you. Why don't you want it now?"

Mr. Liu laughed and asked, leaving Qin Nuo momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.

Didn't Liang Zisu have a girlfriend? Were those intimate photos by the bedside just for show?

Why would he need someone else to introduce him, claiming he's single?

Qin Nuo didn't reveal his thoughts. Liang Zisu hadn't said anything, so there must be a reason. He wouldn't be foolish enough to say it out loud and lose his role.

"Teacher, I was just joking. If there's someone, let me know right away. Being single is really miserable," Qin Nuo said with a forced smile.

After chatting with Mr. Liu for a bit more, Qin Nuo left the dormitory building.

"It seems this sunny and handsome character also has unspeakable secrets. As for what secrets, I'll have to uncover them bit by bit myself."

"In the room, there are clearly photos of his girlfriend, and her cup is always at hand. It doesn't seem like they've broken up."

"Could he be widowed? That's unlikely. Even if the girl in the photo passed away, Liang Zisu would be too consumed by grief to think about other girls."

After leaving the teacher's dormitory, it was already an hour after school. The vast campus was empty, and the teaching buildings were deserted.

A few children with small backpacks were still playing on the campus, reluctant to go home.

Qin Nuo watched them, feeling a bit sentimental. Just yesterday, he was also a student with a backpack, rushing home after school. In the blink of an eye, he had become a teacher.

Two students noticed Qin Nuo and put away their mischievousness, politely greeting him, "Hello, Teacher Liang!"

Qin Nuo nodded slightly, "It's late. Don't linger on campus. Hurry home."

The two children nodded and ran off. Qin Nuo didn't see them make faces and flip him off from a distance.

The air seemed to grow colder. Qin Nuo coughed lightly and walked through the deserted teaching building, unconsciously finding himself back at Class 6, Grade 3.

Just as he reached the door, he faintly heard sobbing. Qin Nuo was puzzled. Was there still a student in the classroom at this hour?

He opened the classroom door and saw a figure sitting inside.

The sight of the girl made Qin Nuo raise his eyebrows involuntarily, "Li Qianqian?"

Li Qianqian still had that sloppy appearance, and she was sitting at Li Xiaoming's desk, crying quietly.

Seeing someone enter, she quickly lowered her head, ready to flee, but stopped when she heard her name called.

She turned her head, her messy hair revealing a slightly dirty face filled with confusion, "Teacher, do you know me?"

Qin Nuo snapped back to reality, inwardly thinking this wasn't good, and tried to explain, "I taught you before, so I have some impression of you. Don't you remember?"

Li Qianqian shook her head, "I don't remember."

"That's normal. It's been quite a while," Qin Nuo said, rubbing his nose.

"Why are you crying here alone? If there's anything, you can talk to the teacher." Qin Nuo sat down in a nearby seat, adopting the posture of a mentor.

Although he asked, Qin Nuo had already guessed the reason.

"My best friend, his name is Li Xiaoming, something seems to have happened to his family."

"His teacher said Li Xiaoming would never come to school again. Something must have happened to him." Li Qianqian's eyes were dim as she caressed the books on the desk, her expression full of sorrow.

Seeing Li Qianqian's expression, Qin Nuo hadn't expected this girl to be so devoted. After a moment of silence, he comforted her, "Don't worry, he just has some family matters to attend to. He'll be back in a while."

"Teacher, do you know Li Xiaoming?" Li Qianqian asked, looking up with a bit of a dazed expression.

"I know his family. They've all gone on a trip for a while, so that's why I said he'll be back soon," Qin Nuo said with a smile.

His smile wasn't particularly attractive, but Liang Zisu's smile was, with a certain brightness that inexplicably lifted people's spirits.

Li Qianqian felt the same now. Hearing this, she asked with a face full of joy, "Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"I'm a teacher. Why would I lie to you? Don't be sad. It's getting late. Take your backpack and head home. Your family is waiting for you," Qin Nuo said.

Li Qianqian lowered her head and said softly, "There's only my grandma at home. My mom and dad have been gone for a long time. Grandma won't say how they died, but the neighbors said they were crushed under a big truck."

"Grandma isn't very mobile and has been bedridden. I make all the food myself."

Li Qianqian's small hands were intertwined, with black dirt under her fingernails. She seemed very self-conscious, as if mentioning her family background always brought rejection and disdain from others.

Qin Nuo's expression was complex.

Even though it was just a game, the strong sense of immersion still made him feel a bit heavy-hearted.

He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out two pieces of Ghost Currency, placing them in Li Qianqian's hand. "This should be enough to buy two hot buns. Hurry home now. It's not safe to walk when it gets dark."

Li Qianqian looked at the Ghost Currency, her face filled with disbelief, "Teacher, don't you think I'm dirty?"

Qin Nuo chuckled, "Why would I? You're all my students. Why would you be dirty? If you or your family ever have any difficulties, you can come to me for help."

"Also, don't be self-conscious. You're amazing. If someone bullies you, you need to know how to fight back."

"The more timid you are, the more they'll bully you without restraint. You need to make them fear you. Once they're afraid, those strange looks will naturally disappear."

Qin Nuo's words made Li Qianqian's dim eyes light up. She stared at Qin Nuo, hardly daring to believe that someone would comfort her like this.

Qin Nuo placed the two pieces of Ghost Currency in her palm and said, "What do meat buns taste like?"

Li Qianqian shook her head, "I've never had them."

"Now you can try them."
