Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 621 Things Backfired
Facing the sunlight, standing on the edge of the uneven sandpit, Jun Matsue squinted and looked at the girl with her hair tied up on the track at the other end of the sandpit.

Before going on stage, Mochizuki Haruka changed into her sportswear, just a plain black short-sleeved shirt and shorts, which made the girl's already fair skin even more dazzling—her slender limbs with no color difference stood out like a crane among chickens among a group of athletic girls with obvious tan lines.

"My little Haruka is the prettiest wherever she is~"

A woman's cheerful voice rang out beside him. Jun Matsue turned his head and looked at Mochizuki Kaori, who was standing to his left.

My aunt is wearing a strapless dress today, and it's black, just like her niece's.

Her lower body was a long satin skirt that reached below the knee, shimmering with a delicate and soft sheen in the sunlight, while her upper body was made of light chiffon, revealing the flesh-colored skin of her arms.

The off-the-shoulder neckline boldly showcases the delicate lines of her neck and collarbone, while her rounded, fair shoulders are completely exposed. The ruffled neckline at the chest accentuates her full figure—the dress's meticulous design prevents her exposed skin and beautiful body lines from appearing vulgar, instead presenting a sophisticated and elegant sexiness.

Perhaps wanting to appear approachable at the school's sports meet, the woman was carrying her own black parasol today, and her usual maid was nowhere to be seen.

However, there was no one else within two meters of her except for Jun Matsueda. They created a small vacuum in the crowd surrounding the long jump area—after all, the noble temperament inherited by the Mochizuki family was there, not to mention the statue of Ms. Mochizuki Hana standing on campus.

"Songzhi, come help me with the umbrella, I want to take pictures of Xiaoyao!" Auntie waved to the boy next to her and stretched out the umbrella handle.

"..." Matsueda Jun glanced at her, then obediently walked over and took the parasol, standing next to the woman like a young and handsome butler.

This was the first time the boy had seen Mochizuki Kaname since the school trip, and he inevitably felt a little guilty—after all, his aunt not only knew that he had taken away his precious niece's innocence, but also knew that they were not actually in a real relationship.

However, the woman seemed to have lost her strange temper this time. She took out a mirrorless camera from her shoulder bag and aimed it at the girl who was warming up at the starting line of the track.

The camera shutter clicked away, and she put down her camera, leaning her shoulder and head towards the boy.

"How's the photo, Pine Branch?"

The woman's soft black hair brushed against his arm, and Matsueda Jun subtly shifted his arm.

"It looks good no matter how you take the picture."

He was referring to both the model's excellent appearance and his aunt's photography skills, but in his mind, the former was more important.

“I think so too~” Wang Yuehua looked at the photo and nodded in satisfaction.

Before raising the camera again, she glanced at the muscular arms of the boy in the vest beside her.

From an aesthetic point of view, you and Xiaoyao are quite a good match.

With such a sturdy body, she'll definitely put on airs as an elder and make Songzhi work like an ox a few times in the future, to give Xiaoyao a good dressing down!

Thinking this way, the last bit of resentment in Wang Yuehua's heart quietly dissipated.

Jun Matsue did not answer, but continued to put on a docile and obedient expression, watching his aunt pick up the camera and face the girl who was starting to run.

Wang Yueyao's steps toward the sandpit gradually lengthened and became more relaxed.

She tied up her long hair, with only her bangs fluttering as she moved. Jun Matsue watched as she stepped on the white line indicating the direction with her right foot and leaped up with force.

The girl's body stretched out in the air, her straight and slender legs and arms extending forward together—even at this moment, Mochizuki Haruka maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor, and she even had the energy to extend her right hand and make a V sign at the boy in front of her.

Matsueda Jun heard a series of camera shutter clicks, followed by the sound of fine sand kicked up by the girl's feet as she landed. He watched as Mochizuki Haruka knelt down, and only after the momentum of her fall had completely dissipated did she stand up and walk towards the two of them.

"How was it?" Mochizuki Haruka stood in front of the boy, shaking the fine sand off her sneakers. "Wasn't the movement very good?"

"So handsome and good-looking!" Auntie had already answered for him. The woman waved the photo in her hand—it was of a girl calmly making a V-sign in mid-air.

"I'll print this out when I get back and hang it in my bedroom."

"..." Mochizuki Haruka's reserved expression turned helpless, and she pouted.

"Then it doesn't need to be hung in the bedroom, right?"

The woman tapped her phone as if she hadn't heard, "I'll send it directly to the head maid and have her print it."

Seeing the girl frowning, Jun Matsue smiled and held out his umbrella to shield her face from the sunlight.

"It looks good, but it feels like you went a bit too far."

Mochizuki Haruka turned around and looked at the marks she had left in the sandpit, her round bun appearing in front of Matsueda Jun.

"If you were to work your butt on the ground like they do, it wouldn't look good."

"Then Mochizuki can continue to be in charge of making the show look good." The boy handed her the Pocari Sweat from his other hand. "I'll take care of the rankings."

The girl rolled her eyes at him, tilted her head back and took two sips of her drink. When she put down the bottle, the remaining two sips of Pocari Sweat were naturally taken by Mochizuki.

"..." Jun Matsue watched as his thirsty aunt drank her beverage and then shoved the empty bottle back into his hand.

Did she know she had drunk from this bottle of water? The question popped into the boy's mind.

Matsueda Jun glanced at the girl standing in front of him again. Mochizuki Haruka was wiping the fine sweat from her neck with a wet tissue and didn't seem to care about the matter at all.

Whatever the reason, since they don't care, then so be it... The boy walked towards the trash can not far away. When he returned to the field, the women of the Mochizuki family had already heard the referee announce the rankings.

"You still got the bronze medal!" Wang Yuehua naturally handed the umbrella back to the boy and clapped her hands.

"Your high jump is in the afternoon, right?" Jun Matsue looked at the girl beside him, and she nodded.

"Are Songzhi and Xiaoyao both free now?" Auntie asked with a smile. "Then come with me to stroll around the sports meet again?"

Mochizuki Haruka pouted, "It's so hot today, what's there to shop for..."

"I have an umbrella~" Wang Yuehua shook the umbrella the boy was holding. "Songzhi, move to the middle, so even if there are three of you, you can still fit under it!"

Matsueda Jun watched as his aunt stretched out her smooth arm, trying to pull him between her and his niece.

He stepped to the side and handed the parasol back to the woman.

“You guys can hold the umbrella, I don’t care about getting sunburned or anything.” The boy glanced at the stares around him. “Besides, there’s always this feeling of a family of three – some people have thought that Mochizuki and I are cousins.”

"A family of three?" Wang Yuehua laughed. "That's great too!"

"I don't want to be cousins ​​with Matsueda." The girl pulled her aunt forward. "Rion and the others' horse battle is about to start. I'll take you to see it."

Jun Matsue followed the two people holding umbrellas, while a group of girls with headscarves tied around their heads, ready to participate in the competition, ran past the three of them noisily.

As I walked towards the playground, the empty green field was now empty except for two groups of girls in sports uniforms, looking like they were about to have a big battle.

As he approached the stands, Jun Matsue heard his aunt suddenly ask a question.

"Matsueda-kun, haven't you broken up with your fake girlfriend yet?"

The boy turned his head and looked at Yuehua, who was smiling at him, as she looked past her niece.

“…Soon.” Jun Matsue felt his lips getting heavy as he opened and closed them.

“She has some special circumstances at home, and I’m afraid that breaking up with her directly would hurt her too much.”

"The pine branches are so gentle..." the woman sighed softly.

“But it’s not good for a boy to be hesitant and timid~” “Auntie.” Mochizuki Haruka took her hand and shook it coquettishly.

"Songzhi and I will handle it ourselves."

The woman nodded. "You all know what's going on."

"I was afraid that you would be unhappy, Xiaoyao."

As a mature adult, even though the deed was already done, Mochizuki still had some concerns about her niece's choice.

"Even if I'm unhappy myself, I'll try my best to make Mochizuki happy," Jun Matsueda immediately stated.

"I don't need you to do that!" the girl glared at him.

"You're not happy being with Xiaoyao?" His aunt glared at him.

The boy could only smile helplessly. Under the blazing sun, he followed the two beauties from the Wangyue family to the audience seats.

After the morning's horseback battle, it was lunchtime. After having lunch with Ken Sakamuro in the cafeteria, Jun Matsueda went back to the classroom alone.

The school building's loudspeakers were on, unusually playing pop music by a famous singer, seemingly a suggestion from someone to the broadcasting department. A boy pushed open the back door of the classroom; the athletes participating in the sports meet were among the first to go to the cafeteria for lunch, and there weren't many students left in the class yet.

Jun Matsue stuck a note on his seat, then left the classroom and headed towards the infirmary—since he said he wanted to rest well, he definitely needed to find a place with a bed for his lunch break.

As the boy walked alone through the fourth floor, the latest Gundam anime theme song finished playing in the empty corridor, and it was replaced by a sweet and clear female voice.

"We're together day and night, inseparable~"

Why were you unmoved despite all the hints I gave you?

"Don't you realize I'm completely at a loss?"

Hearing the lyrics of "Say So," a song he knew all too well, Jun Matsueda slowed his pace a little.

The girls from the next class who weren't planning to eat were filming short videos in the classroom, and their singing voices drifted into the stuffy corridor.

"Be brave and say it~ You actually like me too~"

"I don't know when it started, but you stopped loving me."

"Just confess already~ What's wrong with you~"

"..." The boy quickened his pace, the sweltering air brushing past his ears.

Kurusu's traces are everywhere; it's not that he won't see them even if he doesn't want to. Matsueda Jun has already realized this deeply.

So he could only try his best to get used to it.

After entering the infirmary and greeting the female teacher who was eating her lunch and watching a drama, Jun Matsueda went into the next room.

Closing the door and drawing the curtains immediately darkened the once bright interior, making even the air seem a bit murky.

He turned on the air conditioner, sat on the narrow hospital bed, drew the curtains around him, and lay down in the reassuringly quiet darkness.

Before taking his afternoon nap, he took out his phone and glanced at the messages.

"Do you want me to bring you something to eat?"

This was sent by a cat avatar. Mochizuki Haruka went to lunch with the chairman of the board today with her aunt.

The girl sent him a photo: three pairs of women's hands resting on a matte wooden table, with various cups and dishes of kaiseki cuisine in front of them—the total amount of food for the three of them looked less than the two bowls of pork cutlet rice that the boy had eaten with Sakamuro Ken at noon.

"Don't bring me anything, just make sure you eat well. Don't you have a match this afternoon?"

"I understand..." The girl's voice was muffled; the sashimi in the photo had already gone into her mouth.

Not wanting to disturb the girl's lunch any longer, Jun Matsue clicked on the penguin avatar in the list again—a bunch of pictures popped up in the chat box.

He's warming up in front of the track, he's ready at the start, he's crossing the finish line... In short, these are all photos of the boy himself.

"What do you think of Songzhi? I'm very satisfied with the photos I took!"

Even in just words, Natsumi Imokawa's excited tone is still very obvious.

"Not bad, but why do you always make me look so masculine in your photos?"

The photos highlight things like glistening sweat in the sunlight and taut muscles during a sprint.

“This is how you shoot in summer!” The girl’s reply was unequivocal.

Jun Matsueda shook his head, and just as he was about to put his phone aside, the screen, which had been off, lit up again on its own.

"Did Chun-kun go to the infirmary for a nap?"

"Yes." The boy yawned. "I'll be back before the sports meet starts this afternoon."

"Okay~" The girl sent a picture, and there was a pink heart on the sticky note he left behind.

There were no new messages this time, but Jun Matsueda didn't put down his phone.

He stared at the screen for a while, then opened Yosei Kurusu's official social media account.

This account hasn't had any new updates for several days, but finally there's one more message today.

"The long-awaited good news that we've been waiting for is finally here! ☆"

"I'll be participating in 'The Other Side of the Stage' tonight!"

This episode's theme is 'Idol VS Singer VS Actor VS Voice Actor,' and we look forward to your support!

Jun Matsue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this update didn't include any selfies from Yosei Kurusu, it's good news that she's finally back to normal activities after a week.

The boy scrolled through the comments under the post again. It seemed that Kurusu hadn't brought her juniors on the show. Perhaps Eri-chan wasn't famous enough.

After all, this show seemed pretty impressive. Jun Matsue clicked on the link in the feed and took a look—tonight's guests, besides Yosei Kurusu, included several familiar names, including the singer of the Gundam anime theme song that had just been played in the school building. The host was the famous actor he had seen in Weekly Bunshun before.

"At least Laixi's career is still going well," the boy told himself, putting his phone back.

Although the process may be painful, the outcome is good for both of them.

That was what Jun Matsue originally thought.

The next morning, he saw that most familiar name at the top of the trending searches.

"Broadcasting incident on 'The Other Side of the Stage'! Yosuke Kurusu assaults host, shocking on-site!"

　Thank you to "Yu Yu Yu Yu" for being the Alliance Leader, this is Rain Master's fourth Alliance Leader, I'm bowing my head in gratitude!
