Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 380 The End of Summer Vacation

The day after returning to Tokyo, Jun Matsueda went to the set of "Now It's Over".

"Matsue is back!" Natsumi Imokawa seemed very excited.

"I arrived in Tokyo yesterday evening." The boy yawned and handed the bag in his hand to the girl. "Here, a souvenir for you."

He took a fabric folding chair from the film crew and sat down next to the girl.

"Although Kyoto is indeed a lot of fun, it's just too hot in the summer. It would be better to go at another time next time."

Natsumi Imokawa took the bag and looked inside. It contained several small boxes of different kinds of matcha sweets and a box of film.

The girl took out the film roll packaging box and looked at it. It had three color blocks arranged on it, and a simple starry sky pattern on the back, with a unique old-fashioned aesthetic.

"I bought this at a secondhand store in Kyoto. It looks like it's a black and white film." Jun Matsueda looked at the film crew not far away; there were far fewer staff members today.

"I originally wanted to bring you other souvenirs, but your grandfather's house is near Kyoto, and you've probably been to all those temples and shrines, so giving you amulets or something would be rather pointless."

"So I picked these out for you. You can eat the snacks, and you might like the film."

Similarly, he also prepared a gift for Tomatsu Tomohana, which included more sweets, as well as amulets and small ornaments bought at the shrine.

Natsumi Imokawa's smile widened as she carefully placed the bag on the other chair. "I'll take some really nice photos with this roll of film!"

"How much filming has the crew done?" Jun Matsueda asked, looking at the crew members wiping sweat in the sunlight.

"About one-third, it will start airing around September, which is roughly the time when school starts."

For a while afterward, Jun Matsueda remained silent, listening to the girl recount the latest happenings on the film set. The two sat under a large parasol, surrounded by the long-lost sound of cicadas chirping in Tokyo.

While the girl was drinking water, Jun Matsueda glanced at his phone. There were no new messages in the chat box belonging to Maki Yami.

His senior is still in Kyoto and won't be back until tomorrow; otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to the film set as soon as he got back to Tokyo.

As Natsumi Imokawa spoke, she began to slow down her speech, and finally shut her mouth, observing the expression of the boy next to her.

Songzhi didn't seem very happy. Did he and the girl in that story not end well?

A secret joy welled up in the girl's heart. She didn't know what she was happy about, but she felt that the crew with Songzhi was much more interesting than the crew when she was alone.

"Xia Shi, come and take a look!"

The director, who was sitting on the monitor, called his daughter away, and at the same time, a new message popped up on Jun Matsueda's phone screen.

It wasn't from the senior student, but from Tomomika Tomatsu. The girl sent a video of the brass band performing in the auditorium.

"Today's performance and rehearsal at the auditorium in Ome City went very well!"

Jun Matsueda dragged the video's progress bar and watched the girl's solo part again. Even though he wasn't there in person, the captivating magic remained undiminished.

"It feels so powerful."

"Really? But I feel that everyone still has many shortcomings." The other side replied quickly.

"Unfortunately, there's not enough time. I can only try my best to get in shape for the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament~"

Today is August 18th, and there is less than a week left before the start of the second semester. Jun Matsue blinked and looked up at the distant sky.

"Summer vacation is almost over." Compared to the hustle and bustle of cicadas in downtown Tokyo, the area around the Mochizuki family's manor was much quieter. Mochizuki gazed at the pine forest outside the window.

The girl may have disliked the sound of cicadas because there was no trace of cicadas in her family's pine and cypress plantation.

For her, who had grown up in the manor, the noisy, loud, and dense chirping of cicadas was a foreign thing to her world, just like the woman named Yamami Maki, who was impossible to like.

"So you mean, Matsue and the youngest daughter of the Yamami family are already engaged?"

Sitting in the study, Wang Yuehua shifted her position and leisurely stirred the ice cubes in her cup.

"I saw them kissing," Mochizuki Haruka said sullenly.

"It's just a kiss. Didn't you kiss Songzhi too?" the woman said nonchalantly.

“That’s different.” The girl frowned, not wanting to recall the details, which disgusted her. “They were clearly in the throes of new love.”

“So much love,” Wang Yuehua said, taking a sip of the cool aloe vera juice through a straw and bringing her face close to her niece’s.

"Did they stick their tongue out? Who did?"

"You're being disgusting." Mochizuki Haruka pushed the woman's face away in disgust. "No."

"That means they're not really in love yet~" Auntie said with a grin. "Have they announced their relationship?"

"nor."

"There's still plenty of time, why are you in such a hurry, Xiaoyao?" The woman changed her posture again, opened the book in front of her, which was "The Little Prince" that Mochizuki Haruka had brought back from Kyoto.

"When should I start to get anxious?!" The girl's voice trembled slightly, barely able to contain itself. "When they're French kissing? When they're in bed? Or when they're getting married?"

Wang Yuehua looked up, took her niece's hand, sat down from the opposite side of the desk to the girl's side, and hugged her.

"Alright, alright, Auntie will think of a way for Haruka. She definitely won't let the Yamami family take the pine branch away."

"Let me tell you, the Yami family has incredibly strict rules. Look at Maki, she can't even choose her own university. Someone like Matsue, with her personality, could never get along with them."

She talked at length to the girl in her arms, from the current head of the Yamami family to Yamami Maki's father, and finally to Yamami Ikuka's husband.

"So don't worry, Xiaoyao, Songzhi and Xiaomoji definitely won't end up together!"

"That won't do either." Mochizuki Haruka left the woman's embrace and sat by the window, looking at the pine forest again.

"Once Yamami Maki returns to Tokyo, she'll continue her lovey-dovey relationship with Matsueda. Why should she enjoy that for so long?"

Even though she doesn't want to recall it, the bitterness, anger, and shock she felt when she saw the two kissing still lingers in her mind, sometimes haunting her dreams.

So the girl couldn't wait to get rid of Yami Maki from Matsueda Jun's side.

Even if we can't get rid of him, we can't let this coward stay comfortably by Songzhi's side. Mochizuki Haruka looked at the photos on her phone.

Would Tomatsu Tomohana imagine such a scene? The girl imagined the expression on her rival's face.

She needs to think carefully about how to catch Yami Maki, this fish hiding beneath the surface of the water.

In the most spectacular way.
