Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 40, Act 5 Ending
"Since it's a deal, shouldn't you make your requirements clearer?" Jun Matsueda stirred the spoon in the teacup.

Mochizuki Yao asked the servants to bring in two cups of black tea. She needed something to drink to calm herself down.

This time, the temperature of Jun Matsueda's tea was finally normal.

Mochizuki Haruka didn't use a teaspoon, but directly picked up the cup and drank in small sips. Matsueda Jun looked at her white neck rising and falling as she swallowed.

She waited until the girl put down her teacup, raised her hand again, and wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with the inside of her wrist before she spoke.

"First, I will use various methods to monitor your whereabouts and protect your safety. You cannot refuse if it does not interfere with your normal life."

"It's my right to interpret whether it's an obstruction or not." Matsueda Jun stopped what he was doing and interrupted her.

Mochizuki opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitant, wanting to argue, but ultimately gave up. She hadn't even mentioned her most important condition yet.

"Secondly, what if something happens to Aunt's health, leading to...leading to..."

Mochizuki Haruka couldn't say any words related to death. She was extremely afraid that such a thing would happen to her aunt.

"If this happens, you must come to my side immediately and take on the task of restoring my physical and mental health."

"Can't you find a psychologist? He should be more reliable than me, right?" Jun Matsueda was puzzled.

"No!" Mochizuki Haruka stood up slightly, put her hands on the table and looked at Matsueda Jun.

"You're the only one who's ever done it. Since you can pull it off, there's no need for me to consider other options."

"So I have no relationship with your aunt?" Jun Matsueda felt a little regretful for some reason.

"Didn't I tell you? You are my savior." There was a sense of helplessness and anger in Mochizuki Yao's tone.

Saying this in front of others feels like saying you are the most important person to me, which is so embarrassing.

"The second point is that you must ensure that it is completed. Even if I know what will happen and have memories of it, I will definitely not be able to bear it once the incident occurs. You must pull me out of despair."

"If I become a disabled person, there will be no way for me to fulfill the promise I made to you, right?" Mochizuki Haruka emphasized.

"What exactly did you experience in the simulation?" Matsueda Jun was a little curious.

Mochizuki Haruka looked at him with a complicated look.

"This look from your ex-girlfriend, could it be that I cheated on you, or the one who cheated on you was your best friend?" Matsueda Jun thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't accept the system, as it was quite a big deal.

"I won't tell you anyway." Mochizuki Yao knew that he was not concerned about her, but just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

"I'm telling you in advance, by then I might completely lose my agency, become a cripple, or behave drastically, or even commit suicide. You can't dislike me and run away from me. You must bring me back, understand?"

This sounds too troublesome, and Jun Matsueda feels that the effort is not worth it.

Noticing his hesitation, Mochizuki Haruka quickly spoke up again, "You don't think it's not worth it, do you? Your orphanage has so many people; just improving their medical and educational conditions requires a lot of money, not to mention continuing it. Even the children of employees working at the main residence don't have such good conditions." "Think about how long it would take you just to work? Even if you became some kind of 'king of part-time jobs,' it wouldn't be easy to achieve that, would it?"

Jun Matsueda glanced at the girl. Although what she said made sense, he would remember that she dared to look down on the working emperor.

"You talk so much today." Jun Matsueda no longer needed to hide his emotions in front of her.

The impatient look on the man's face reminded Mochizuki of the gentleness and meticulous care she had seen in her dreams. In reality, she had never seen this side of him.

Mochizuki Haruka felt a pang of sadness, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Then let's consider it an agreement. Do I need to write you a contract or a letter of guarantee or something?"

"I've never believed in the effectiveness of this kind of thing, especially when the resources between the two of us are unequal. Mochizuki Haruka, just remember, if I see any signs of you breaking the contract, I will disappear immediately. That's all."

After saying this, Jun Matsueda picked up the teacup and took a sip. This was the first sip of water he had drunk after visiting the Mochizuki family for so long, which was really not easy.

"I know, I know." Mochizuki Haruka was a little impatient after being warned repeatedly by Matsueda Jun.

The Mochizuki family is still not powerful enough. In the future, it must develop to a scale that reaches Sapporo and Kagoshima. Then we’ll see how you threaten me, the girl thought bitterly.

After all that needed talking was over, the still-drenching rain kept them confined to the study. Matsueda Jun didn't feel like exploring the rest of the mansion, so he simply sat there, gazing out the window and waiting for the rain to subside.

There were two "knock knocks" as someone knocked on the study door. Wang Yuehua walked in, hid behind the bookshelf, and peeked at the two of them.

"Aunt, you've already knocked on the door, why are you still doing something sneaky there?" Mochizuki Haruka could see the sneaky woman at a glance, while Matsueda Jun had his back to her.

"I knocked on the door because I didn't want to disturb you in case you were doing anything bad." The woman's explanation was outrageous, and both of them rolled their eyes.

"How are you getting along?" Wang Yuehua came over with a smile, but her expression changed as she rushed to her niece. "Are you crying?"

The woman in the long dress embodied a blend of girlhood and womanhood, her figure graceful and beautiful. She bent down, cupped the girl's face in her hands, and gently wiped the red marks from the corner of the girl's eyes with her fingertips. The girl beneath her had just been crying, and her whole being exuded a helpless fragility. The white short-sleeved shirt was the perfect match for youth, and the two of them pressed together created a truly pleasing sight.

However, Jun Matsueda did not look at the picture of the beauty for long. Instead, he walked to the bookshelf and pretended to pick a book. If the atmosphere changed at all, he would slip out of the study and run away.

Mochizuki Haruka pouted, frowned, pointed at Matsueda Jun behind the bookshelf and said, "He bullied me!"

Matsueda Jun was about to run away, but Mochizuki Hua laughed, "If he bullies you, you bully him back. Isn't that what all kids do?"

The woman's heart was at peace, and her niece was able to speak out her grievances directly, which meant that the problem was not serious. If she said nothing and just stared at Matsueda Jun, then the problem would be serious. In that case, the aunt would have a headache, after all, Matsueda Jun was a man who had the potential to become the son-in-law of the Mochizuki family.

After finding out that there was no problem, Matsueda Jun was relieved. He bit back and complained to Mochizuki Hua: "Just now, Mochizuki Haruka told me that she didn't want to listen to her aunt read fairy tales anymore."

Wang Yuehua grabbed her niece's face and said, "Xiaoyao! Auntie will be sad if you say that!"

In the quarrel, both of the Mochizuki family accepted the reality that the name of Matsueda Jun changed from Mochizuki-san to Mochizuki Haruka-san.

The rain in the mountains is always short-lived. After the dark clouds have poured out their anger, they quickly leave. However, the fog in the mountains appears and never dissipates.
