Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 491 The Daily Life Divided into Three
"There are so many places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo, it's a bit of a dilemma."

Jun Matsue looked at Tomoka Tomatsu on the screen. She was looking down at the computer screen, scrolling through the pages, looking like she had a problem making a decision.

The girl's long, straight, jet-black hair fell onto the table, shimmering like silk under the light. Even though she didn't seem to be wearing much makeup, her features were still so delicate and beautiful.

She was wearing a casual nightgown, which was probably the same one she wore during their last video chat when they discussed the cultural festival. It was simple and plain, with a touch of lace at the neckline.

The combination of her smooth black hair and simple white dress made Tomatsu Yuka appear quiet and sweet with her eyes lowered.

Hopefully she was wearing a bra this time. The boy recalled the exceptionally beautiful shape of her chest when the girl drank water in front of the camera before.

"How's Ueno Park?" the girl looked up. "Although there are a lot of tourists, we can catch the cherry blossom festival."

“That sounds good.” Jun Matsueda nodded.

"Or Meguro River?" Tomatsu Yuka gently tapped her cheek with her electronic pen. "The cherry blossoms along the riverbank, which are as dense as a tunnel, are very popular with couples."

"Chidorigafuchi is also nice. Compared to Meguro River, you can go boating—you can enjoy the cherry blossoms hanging overhead while floating on the river. Just thinking about it is so romantic~"

The girl, who had been pondering intently, seemed to remember something and gave the boy on the other end of the video call an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, we only agreed to act together, but I got excited on my own."

“There’s no need to worry about this.” Jun Matsue looked at the small shadow under her eyelashes.

"If I'm just putting on a show for my senior, I definitely won't be happy. Since I'm going out, I might as well enjoy myself."

He chose to vent his anger in this way in order to erase the trace of Yami Maki in his heart. If he were to think about her all the time while he was away from home, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

"I'm so relieved that you think that way, Matsu-san!" Tomatsu Yuka smiled with a sigh of relief. "Then can I pretend we're really on a date?"

"If going out with someone of the opposite sex counts as dating, then I probably have too many girlfriends," he said in a nonchalant tone.

"Matsueda-kun, you're saying that on purpose, aren't you?" The girl frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. "These days, aloof guys aren't popular with girls, you know?"

The boy didn't answer her question, but Tomatsu Yuka didn't mind. She set up the tablet on the table and showed various scenes of cherry blossoms in full bloom to the camera.

"Where should we go? Has Matsueda-san made a choice yet?"

“Ueno Park, I guess.” Jun Matsueda quickly made his decision. “It’s Tokyo’s most classic cherry blossom viewing spot, and I haven’t been there yet.”

He had another reason he didn't say: the girl said there were a lot of tourists here—and with so many people, the ambiguous atmosphere would be less intense.

“Then it’s settled!” Tomatsu Yuka clapped her hands gently. “We’ll set off when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.”

"Do we really have to wait until they're in full bloom?" The boy looked out of the camera's view. "I think it's fine as long as the weather is nice."

"That won't do! Full bloom is the most beautiful time of the cherry blossom season." The girl shook her head seriously.

"Life is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and my first date with Matsueda-kun must be the most romantic ever!"

The video ended, and Jun Matsue stared at the rabbit avatar at the top of the list for a while before locking his phone and looking out at the clear sky.

Tomatsu Tomoka's final words sounded like those of a devout believer, which made him feel a little more anticipation for the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

It was already past ten o'clock. Jun Matsue sat at his desk for a while longer before leaving the bedroom.

Stepping out of the entryway again, the boy tore off the sticky note stuck to the door next door, then squatted down and reached into the pet door at the bottom of the metal door, quickly finding a key.

As he pushed open the door, he first glanced at Jinzhi, who was curled up in a ball at the dining table. The golden cat jumped off the table, scratched at the bedroom door for him, and meowed cleverly twice.

"Don't make a sound."

A girl's languid voice came from behind the door. Jun Matsueda knocked on the door and went in with the cat in his arms.

The bedroom was brightly lit, and the curtains had long been drawn. The girl on the bed was staring at the person and cat who had appeared in the room. Her body was still tucked under the covers, with only her head showing, making her look exceptionally cute.

"Lunch is ready." Jun Matsueda tossed the cat in his arms, which somersaulted in the air before landing motionless on the blanket.

"Oh," Mochizuki Haruka yawned, and a small, snow-white foot peeked out from the side of the blanket, trapping the pants of the boy next to the bed.

"How about fried rice for lunch?" Jun Matsue took a step back, freeing himself from the girl's foot.

"The leftovers from last night are gone?" She sat up, tugged at her askew short-sleeved shirt, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.

Unlike Kurusu Yosei, the girl had a standard pale complexion, smooth and delicate skin, and her body did not have the kind of exquisite curves; everything about her appeared classical and refined.

Mochizuki Haruka stretched, her pajamas emphasizing a close-fitting and comfortable fit. The hem of her top, lifted up, revealed her concave navel and slender waist. The shorts that covered her upper thighs accentuated the roundness of her hips, extending into smooth lines. The proportions of her thighs and calves were perfect, without a single bit of excess fat—every part of the girl that was exposed made one want to touch and caress it.

Jun Matsue lowered his head and picked up the cat crouching on the quilt. "It already ate the leftovers this morning."

"Then anything is fine, as long as it's made from pine branches."

As the girl opened the wardrobe and lifted the hem of her pajamas, the boy had already left the room. She glanced at his back as he hugged the cat and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"You need to drink more alcohol."

Half an hour later, Mochizuki Haruka sat at the dining table in room 507. In front of her was a steaming bowl of teriyaki chicken thigh fried rice. The bright colors of the lettuce and diced carrots made her feel even hungrier.

The girl turned her head to look at the open bedroom door, then scooped up a full spoonful of fried rice.

"Has he left Qiyang?"

"She went back to the company to report."

Mochizuki Haruka nodded in satisfaction, the food in her mouth becoming even more delicious. "I'm going out this afternoon too; my aunt is going to the hospital for a checkup."

"A routine check?"

"Yes, although Auntie is fine now, she still needs to have a check-up at least once a month, just in case anything unexpected happens."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Jun Matsue looked up.

The girl blinked in surprise, "You actually have moments when you take the initiative."

The boy blinked. "Because you didn't want to go back to that hospital, right?"

Mochizuki Haruka smiled and squinted her eyes, "That's what I like about Matsue, you remember everything I tell you."

Jun Matsue lowered his head and ate again.

“Auntie doesn’t go there for her checkup; she goes to a private hospital,” the girl continued. “And she’s bringing together her old medical team. The tests are quite complicated and take a long time. You’d just be bored if you went.”

The boy nodded and didn't say anything more. Mochizuki Haruka also stopped talking, just eating her fried rice while smiling at him.

Compared to the erotic pleasure she felt last night when she touched Matsueda Jun's thighs and chest, she preferred the everyday satisfaction of being cared for in small ways.

Before leaving the apartment, Mochizuki Haruka left the cat behind.

"You can't bring cats to the hospital, and it'll be boring to leave it next door anyway, so you two might as well keep each other company."

Watching the girl close the apartment door, Jun Matsueda and the cat in his arms looked at each other in bewilderment. "In the blink of an eye, it's just the two of us left."

The little female cat let out a lazy meow, as if to say that she didn't mind at all.

After washing the dishes, the boy carried Jinzhi back to his room. He put the cat on the windowsill to sunbathe, and then turned on his computer to check the situation of various universities this year.

After the start of the new semester, it will be the senior year of high school, and we must start preparing for college entrance exams early.

"The era when the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo was the pinnacle of humanities has passed. Competition for humanities majors is too fierce, and career paths are limited, so we are planning to establish a new faculty."

"Hitotsubashi University is not in the 23rd ward, so we won't consider it for now."

"Keio University and Waseda University... 'Waseda promotes students, Keio demotes them,' Waseda University implemented examination reforms."

"Imperial tea water—"

"If I can't get in, I won't study."

"Aoyama Gakuin University, a Meiji University with a Western background, guarantees a job after admission?"

Jun Matsue moved his right hand, the clicking of the mouse occasionally echoing in the quiet room. The cat curled up behind the computer gradually closed its eyes. Its peaceful appearance seemed as if its soul had left its body, merging into the sky with the sunlight.

After the boy had looked around the national and public universities in Tokyo, the sound of a key opening the door suddenly came from the living room.

He glanced at the time on the computer: 2 PM.

Kurusu is back so quickly?

As Jun Matsue walked out of the bedroom, the front door of the entrance hall opened, and Yosuke Kurusu dragged in his suitcase, still fully armed with a hat and mask.

"Songzhi's home? I thought you went out." The girl shook the drink in her other hand as a greeting.

"You're back so early." Jun Matsue picked up the cat that was following at his feet and waved its paw.

"It's just a quick report to the company. I'll greet the relevant departments and have a chat with the president. I even went back to the artist apartment to get my luggage!"

The boy walked to the entrance, picked up her suitcase, and carried it into the bedroom while humming a song. He then took out a lot of things from it—not many clothes, but mainly dolls, pendants, and various decorations.

There is another book.

"One Hundred Tips for Men to Live Independently?" Jun Matsueda read out the title on the cover.

“That’s right!” The girl took the unopened book in her hand.

"I was on tour in Kyoto at the time, and before the show I had nothing to do, so I went to a nearby bookstore and that's how I found it!"

Like a blacksmith showing off the most perfect sword he has ever forged, she placed this book in front of the boy.

"This is my gift to Songzhi!"

Jun Matsueda took the book and turned to the back. It listed various tips: how to repair appliances, how to train your dog, how to shave perfectly, and how to take a shower quickly.
“It seems quite interesting.”

"Right~" Kurusu Yosei chuckled, "I knew Matsueda would like it, just keep watching!"

"By the way," her expression turned a little serious, "I've checked, this doesn't teach you how to live without a girlfriend. Don't think that learning these things will make you never need a girlfriend!"

"I didn't say I wouldn't look for him," the boy said, tearing open the packaging. As he opened the book, the girl stopped him.

"You're not allowed to watch now!" she said sternly. "You have to watch TV with me this afternoon!"

Ten minutes later, Yosuke Kurusu and Jun Matsueda, having finished packing their luggage, sat together on the sofa. The TV screen displayed the title: "Now That Things Have Gone, I've Fallen in Love with My Friend's Lover."

"Was it episode eight last time?" the girl asked, a little unsure.

"I watched until the end of episode seven," the boy sitting next to me recalled. "The male lead slept with the female senior, and then they had a passionate romance."

"Right!" Yosuke Kurusu slapped his thigh. "Won't this just be a sweet romance all the time? That would be so boring!"

"No, don't worry." Jun Matsue smiled. "The male lead was single in the earlier parts of the story, so what follows is the conflict after falling in love, and the heartbreaking breakup."

When talking about these plots, he felt a strange sense of irony—whether it was because of their absurd resemblance to reality or because he had already seen the ending.

"That's more interesting!" The girl finally became interested.

While watching the high school couples on the screen being all lovey-dovey and spending their summer in debauchery, Yosuke Kurusu chatted incessantly with the boy next to her about her own affairs.

"Songzhi, Songzhi, the company is extremely satisfied with the revenue from my tour! Ticket sales, plus merchandise and album sales, exceeded the operations department's estimate by more than 30%!"

"Kirushi Yosei, a terrifying money-sucking machine!" the boy exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, my abilities are what they are," the girl said smugly. "So it's okay if we don't have handshake events or meet-and-greets!"

"So, does the company still tolerate you coming to the apartment area?" Jun Matsue suddenly thought of this question.

"That's alright." Yosei Kurusu slowed her speech, her attention drawn to the upperclassman's body in a swimsuit on TV.

"Only the president can interfere in this kind of thing. She used to date her idol, so she won't care about my affairs."

"Of course, if it causes any actual losses to the company, it will definitely be dealt with seriously."

He felt a little worried about dealing with Matsugae Jun seriously, as Kurusu was not a meticulous person.

"Let's not talk about that now," the girl waved her hand. "Because I'm currently in a strong phase, I won't be taking a long break."

"Next, we'll prepare for the release of our second album, and also go on TV shows to promote it, further converting word-of-mouth into popularity."

"I'll probably take a week off, and I might not stay in the apartment the whole time."

Yosuke Kurusu stopped staring at the TV screen and turned to look at the boy.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you the answer you're looking for."

Jun Matsueda remained calm; the girl's brief return did not signify a change in the situation, something he had known all along.

"I think you should stick to your own pace; being impatient will always cause problems."

He smiled and said, "I don't want to find out that I, as your number one fan, have become a blemish on the brilliance of your dreams."

Yosuke Kurusu didn't answer the boy's question, as if she agreed, or as if she hadn't heard it. She turned her head and looked at the young couple kissing passionately on the beach on TV.

She wants to reach the pinnacle of her idol's career as quickly as possible.

In order to express their emotions as freely as they do on screen.

　I started feeling dizzy after dinner, and I thought it was just my cold getting worse, but the dizziness subsided as I typed. Thanks to typing.
