Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 320 The Difference Between Mochizuki and Yamami
There were already quite a few people in the conference room. Yamami Maki and Matsueda Jun chose to sit down near the door.

Fortunately, there were empty seats next to each other. The girl was relieved and watched as the boy sat up straight and blocked the sunlight leaking through the crack in the door for her.

Songzhi was being far too considerate; the pale yellow parrot in her heart began to chirp again.

"The seating arrangements for each class at the sports meet have been distributed to all class leaders. Please open the instruction booklet."

The meeting was chaired by a second-year girl from the student council, who was also the chairperson of the executive committee. This is how it is at Japanese schools—whenever there is a large-scale event, a committee is selected to organize and prepare it.

Although she had already heard it from her junior, Yamami Maki still turned the pages attentively as she listened to the voice, until a pen came into her view—the one that Matsueda Jun carried with him to meetings.

"Is the senior going to participate in the sports meet?" the boy next to her asked quietly, without turning his face or shifting his gaze, as if he was also carefully reading the instruction booklet.

The girl's lips curled up. "I signed up for two team events."

They began to talk quietly, heads bowed, while Tsushima Kou, idly watching them from the corner, observed them.

What's the current progress of Matsueda and Yamami?

He didn't plan to ask directly; that would be too boring. He preferred to observe little by little through clues to enjoy the slow and steady progress.

"The final confirmation of the registration list will be due tomorrow at noon. Classes that do not require modifications do not need to submit again."

After the meeting, Yamami Maki stayed in the classroom to share her experience with the junior who chaired the meeting, while Matsueda Jun went to the balcony in the corridor to bask in the sun for a while. He took out his phone, but neither Mochizuki Haruka nor his aunt had sent him any messages.

Not knowing where they were now, Jun Matsue began to wonder if he could avoid the two of them.

Yamami Maki walked out of the classroom with the class president. The girls waved goodbye with smiles. She paused at the door for a while before walking towards Matsueda Jun.

It was lunch break time, and there weren't many people around the secluded activity room. Yamami Maki moved a little closer to the boy, and the two walked downstairs together.

"Matsuede-san only signed up for a relay?" The girl's tone was somewhat regretful.

"Does Senior want me to appear more often?" Jun Matsue glanced at the time on his phone; Mochizuki and the others should have finished lunch long ago.

"Mmm!" Yamami Maki nodded. "I've never seen Matsueda-san show off her skills at the sports meet!"

The girl didn't think much of it, but after she said it, she realized that the topic was a bit inappropriate.

Although Yuka didn't mention it directly, it seems that Matsueda didn't appear at the sports meet before because of her junior.
"Um, I'm sorry," she said, unsure whether she was apologizing to Matsue or to Yuka.

"Why apologize?" Jun Matsue asked with a smile. "Since you want to see it, I can just sign up for a few more programs. Anyway, the application form can be modified."

"Don't overwork yourself, Matsueda-kun?" the girl said, her slight melancholy replaced by joy.

The two walked out of the stairwell and returned to the distance between ordinary friends—the corridor was quite open, and they were bound to be seen by others.

There were indeed other people in the corridor. Yamami Maki looked surprised, and Matsueda Jun stopped in his tracks.

"Why are you here?"

Before him stood the aunt and niece, who had attracted countless glances along the way.

Mochizuki glanced at the girl standing next to Matsueda Jun, and her tone became even more intimate.

"The only building left to inspect is the teaching building. Auntie, can't I even come and take a look?"

Mochizuki Haruka sized up the two people who appeared from the stairwell, while Yamami Maki bowed to the woman in front of her.

"Greetings, Madam Mochizuki." The young woman looked up, her smile perfectly timed. "Congratulations on your recovery."

"Alright, alright," Wang Yuehua waved her hand. "We're not at a banquet, and we're not at your house. There's no need to use that tone."

Yamami Maki nodded, then looked at the girl beside her, "Good afternoon, Mochizuki-san." "Good afternoon." Mochizuki Haruka's tone wasn't as gentle as hers. The girl handed the bag containing the lunchbox to Matsueda Jun, "This is your lunch, fried shrimp tempura rice balls."

Jun Matsue took the bag, glanced at the senior student beside him, and Maki Yami's smile remained unchanged as she winked.

He had a bad feeling.
"Did you come back from a meeting? Are you done with your work?" the woman asked curiously.

"I was just about to go back to the classroom," Jun Matsue implied that his being on the same route as his senior was just a coincidence.

"Then, Songzhi, can you show us around the teaching building again?" The woman shook the umbrella in her hand.

"Xiao Moji, why don't you come along too? I haven't seen your father in a long time."

Jun Matsue hoped that his senior would turn around and leave, otherwise it would be troublesome if the cunning aunt caught any flaw in her words.

However, as a woman from the Yami family who valued etiquette, Yami Maki naturally did not refuse, and she nodded slightly.

The two people who attracted attention in the corridor became four. The aunt was accompanied by her niece and the second young lady of the Yamami family. After exchanging glances with her senior, Matsueda Jun walked to Mochizuki Haruka's side.

In this situation, he definitely cannot stay next to Yamami Maki.

The woman walked past the senior high school classrooms, watching the students on the podium being handed out class uniforms, and an unfinished flag leaning against the wall at the back of the classroom.

"Is the school preparing for a sports meet recently?"

"It'll be in a couple of days," Yami Maki told her about the sports meet arrangements.

"Is Haruka going to participate too?" Mochizuki looked at her niece beside her, while also observing Matsueda Jun's expression on the other side.

"I signed up for the relay race, the 100-meter dash, and the high jump with Songzhi."

Mochizuki Haruka's pursed lips relaxed a little, and the fact that the boy was walking beside her made the girl feel much better.

So, Matsueda-san participated in the relay race with her? Yamami Maki stared at the gleaming tiles on the wall.

Walking with the aunt and niece from the Mochizuki family always gave her a feeling that she was being subtly targeted.

"Songzhi, do you want to go back for lunch first?" Mochizuki Haruka looked at the boy beside her who was unusually ignored. "You must be hungry, right?"

"It's alright." Jun Matsue glanced at the bag in his hand. "A little more time won't make a difference."

"Shall we go to the playground?" Auntie suggested. "We can take a look at the arrangements for the sports meet, and Songzhi can also sit down and have a meal."

Under the bright sunshine, Jun Matsuoka sat under the sunshade set up on the playground. The ground was covered with the dark green soft mats that were usually used in the gymnasium, so sitting on the ground was quite comfortable.

The air in the distance rippled slightly due to the heat, distorting the woman's figure. The boy chewed on a rice ball, watching the woman holding an umbrella walk gracefully towards him.

"Where are Mochizuki and Yamami-senpai?" Matsueda Jun looked up, and Mochizuki Hana put down her umbrella and sat down next to him.

"They went to buy water," the woman said with a smile. "It's so hot, they need to stay hydrated."

Jun Matsuo swallowed the rice. He did feel a little thirsty, not sure if it was because of the sunlight, the rice ball, or his aunt's staring gaze.

"Matsue, the Yami family has very strict rules, you know?" The woman suddenly changed the subject, her smile becoming playful.

"Unlike our Mochizuki family, as long as you're with Xiaoyao."

"No one will care if you ask her to call him 'brother' or 'brother-in-law'!"

The sun was blazing, and Jun Matsueda felt his throat getting drier and drier.
