Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 714 Did you and Tomatsu Yuka do it?

The women's changing room was quiet. Mochizuki looked at the young girl's delicate body, which was exposed in the spring breeze.

The scattered purplish-red marks on her fair skin did not detract from its beauty; on the contrary, they added a touch of vibrant color, making her even more alluring.

Mochizuki Haruka was not an innocent girl; she knew very well that these were the marks left by Matsueda Jun's sucking and kissing.

The sweet tenderness that lingered after interacting with the boy in class vanished instantly, leaving only a cold and hostile gaze.

"What happened to those hickeys on your body?"

"..." Tomatsu Yuka crossed her arms over her abdomen, pressing down on her shirt which was not yet buttoned.

The girl's dressing room, which she should have been alone in, was invaded by her love rival, and she looked somewhat panicked.

However, realizing that Mochizuki Haruka had no companions and didn't seem to be filming or recording anything, she quickly regained her composure.

"What else could it be?" Tomatsu Yuka loosened her arms and slowly buttoned up her shirt.

"You said it's a hickey, how could I have sucked it out myself?"

She had been quietly enjoying her romance all this time, but now that Mochizuki Haruka had jumped right in front of her, the girl didn't mind giving her a good beating.

"..." Mochizuki Haruka's face grew increasingly grim. "You've already done this?"

"How early?" Tomatsu Yuka pondered, tapping her chin, completely unconcerned that her lower body, clad only in underwear, was exposed to her love rival.

"Yesterday, last week, or the week before last?"

"Oh, Mom was off last Sunday, so we didn't do it."

The girl's nonchalant and habitual demeanor only made him angrier. Mochizuki Haruka gritted her teeth, and her breathing became noticeably heavy.

"What are you so smug about? Is it just you and Songzhi who did this?"

"When Songzhi tore my swimsuit on the night of the school trip, were you still in your room stupidly sending him a goodnight message?"

"..." At this point, Tomomichi's chest began to rise and fall.

She took a deep breath, deliberately moved closer to the girl in front of her, and revealed a nonchalant, bright smile.

"I don't care what happened before."

"All I know is that I am very happy with Jun-kun right now."

"He likes me a lot, so much so that he wants to leave so many kiss marks on me."

"You must have seduced him!" Mochizuki Haruka said without hesitation. "Matsue would never do that on her own initiative!"

"So what if it is?" Tomatsu Yuka smiled and tugged at her unbuttoned shirt.

"Are these hickeys fake?"

Mochizuki Haruka didn't want to see this, so she coldly waved her arm away. The girl took a step back and continued to button up her shirt.

Knowing when to stop is crucial. Tomatsu Yuka looked down at her collar. If a fight broke out in the dressing room, she might not be able to stop Mochizuki from scratching her face.

"shameless."

The girl, her face frosty, spoke each word clearly, completely forgetting that she had been accused by Kurusu Yosei of "blatant seduction."

Tomatsu Yuka paused for a moment, then buttoned the last button of her shirt, picked up her skirt, and calmly bent over, lifting her hips and legs.

The narrow waistband of the skirt slid over her soft flesh as the girl straightened up, elegantly tightened the buckle at her waist, and smoothed the strands of hair behind her ear.

"It's just a romantic gesture between couples. You're not going to act all high and mighty in bed, are you?"

“Jun-kun likes me a lot.” She puffed out her chest.

"He liked my maid outfit, he liked my apron, he liked the way I knelt before him..."

Tomatsu Yuka stretched out her fingers and counted. As if she remembered something, she tilted her head back slightly and touched her pink lips with her index finger.

"He especially loves my lips, he uses them many times each time!"

Mochizuki Haruka blinked, recalling the embarrassing moment when she tried to use her mouth but failed.

"I don't care what I do as long as it makes Jun-kun feel comfortable and happy."

Tomatsu Yuka straightened her clothes, then looked up and stared directly at the girl in front of her, her right hand touching her lower abdomen through her skirt.

"Yesterday was my safe period, and Tsun-kun kept feeding me all afternoon until it overflowed~"

Mochizuki Haruka's lips were tightly pressed together, her thin, downturned eyebrows like straight carving knives, and the girl's clear pupils shrank with anger, freezing into crystal-clear snowflakes.

She didn't speak, but turned straight to the door, slamming the thin wooden door of the dressing room shut with a loud bang that echoed down the entire corridor.

"..."

After putting her sportswear on the bench into her small bag, Tomatsu Yuka picked up the key from the locker by the door and slowly pushed open the door.

The girl had long since disappeared; only the PE teacher peeked out from his office at the other end of the corridor, clearly having heard the commotion.

"What happened?" the woman shouted.

"It's nothing~" Tomatsu Yuka smiled and walked towards her with the keys in her hand.

"Some students forgot something, so they came and went in a bit of a hurry."

Mochizuki Haruka walked alone on the edge of the school's main road, her angry demeanor intimidating.

The girl lowered her head, watching her footsteps forcefully stomp on the hard brick surface, the impact causing her some pain.

Although she had left the locker room, the red marks on Tomatsu Yuka's body still lingered in her mind, making it hard for her to breathe.

Looking at the moon, she recalled the last time she went house hunting with a boy.

On the way back, she sucked and bit him all over, leaving marks that were far more savage than the sensual kisses in front of her.

However, the girl's own fair skin had never been marked with such mottled hickeys.

She had done it with Jun Matsueda many times, and due to the positions and the force of the man's release, there were obvious red marks on her knees and delicate buttocks from the friction and impact.

However, that's different from a hickey.

The hickey was intentional.

It is conquest, possession, proof of love, and a mark of belonging.

Mochizuki Haruka liked to leave her mark when she was aroused. She had even curled up in a boy's arms on the bed afterward and asked him why he didn't do that.

"Because Mochizuki is a pampered young lady," Jun Matsue said gently as he stroked the girl's moist, smooth skin.

"A bad kiss can be dangerous, and I just love how flawless your skin looks."

Although he may have said it out of love and care, now that he sees the traces of desire on Tomatsu Tomoka, all Mochizuki Haruka can feel is resentment, loss, and jealousy.

She thought her indifference could sway Songzhi's heart, but the boy was already having fun in someone else's bed...

The girl looked up at the buildings in front of the avenue, where groups of students were going in and out of the cafeteria.

The pine branch is right there.

She needs an explanation.

The boys from Class 6, Grade 3 walked out of the cafeteria. They were among the first to arrive. While others were still queuing at the windows to grab popular food, they were already sitting at the tables, enjoying their meals.

Jun Matsue walked behind the boys' group. He didn't have lunch with Yuka Tomatsu—the girl didn't feel like moving around today and had asked him to bring her lunch.

Turn right after exiting the gate and step onto the wide campus avenue. The boy looked down at the messages on his phone until Ken Sakamuro next to him stopped and nudged his arm.

"Pine branches..."

Jun Matsue looked up and quickly noticed the girl standing in the shade of a tree by the roadside.

Mochizuki Haruka was carrying a small bag containing her gym uniform, as if she had just come out of the locker room. Her shoulders rose and fell with her breath, and her cold, aloof expression was hidden in the shadow of her bangs, making her look unhappy.

“She was walking very fast just now, but she stopped as soon as she saw you…” Ken Sakamuro whispered to him.

“…I understand.” Jun Matsue nodded and handed him the plastic bag in his hand.

"Sakamuro, could you please take this rice ball to Yuka and tell her I'll be back late?"

The boy sent the same message on his phone before walking toward the roadside.

The girl who had stopped didn't move; she simply stood there, expressionless, watching Matsueda Jun walk towards her.

"She's really angry..." the boy thought to himself, stopping in front of her and gently leaning down to ask, "Did Tomatsu make you angry? Or did I do something wrong?"

Mochizuki Haruka didn't say anything, but simply lowered her head and walked straight past him with a sullen face.

Like a cold wind blowing by, Jun Matsue stepped aside and watched her walk in the opposite direction from the cafeteria.

Without thinking twice, the boy quickly followed. The girl paused for a moment, then quickened her pace as if in a fit of pique.

Across from the cafeteria is an artificial lake located behind the auditorium and teaching area. Few students come here in the summer because of the mosquitoes. Even now, in autumn, few people linger around during lunchtime.

The two walked around most of the shady area. Matsueda Jun did not rush to catch up with the girl, but watched her hurried back.

Mochizuki was clearly furious; even the way she swung her arms back and forth was stiff and unusually forceful.

This chase allowed her to vent her frustrations and buy herself some time to think.

Mochizuki Haruka finally stopped by the lake—the statue of Ms. Mochizuki Hana was not far away, somewhat dazzling in the sunlight.

"So what's Mochizuki angry about?" the boy asked, walking up behind her.

"If you don't tell me, how will I have a chance to change it?"

"...How do I change it?" The girl finally turned around, her face still as cold as ice.

"Can you change it?!"

She called out loudly, and birds fluttered their wings in the woods by the lake, leaving a rustling sound in the leaves.

Before Matsueda Jun could speak, the girl took two steps forward, her words almost touching him.

"I'm asking you, did you sleep with Tomatsu Tomoka?"

So that's what happened... The boy sighed inwardly.

There's no point in thinking about it anymore—no matter how you try to explain it, the facts are there and undeniable.

Faced with the girl's barely suppressed anger, Jun Matsue nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Upon hearing the boy admit it himself, Mochizuki Haruka's anger subsided, and she gave a cold laugh.

"I saw the hickeys on Tomatsu Yuka's body. You guys had a lot of fun."

The air by the lake was thick with sarcasm. Jun Matsue blinked but remained silent.

There's no room for explanation when it comes to love between men and women, and he felt somewhat helpless.

Seeing his acquiescing attitude, the girl's jealousy began to flare up and burn fiercely.

Mochizuki Haruka clenched her fists. "What maid outfit and nude apron? Isn't it much prettier than my swimsuit?"

"And oral sex—her mouth feels good, hmm?"

"She's much better at it than I am, isn't she?!"

The girl's voice grew louder, and she slammed into the boy's chest, her own body swaying first.

"That's not true." Jun Matsue took her arm.

“You don’t need to compare yourself to Tomatsu in this kind of thing,” the boy said softly. “She did it because she liked it.”

“Of course, Mochizuki is very charming.” He stroked the girl’s long, soft hair on her back with one hand.

"It's because you're so charming that I can't get you out of my mind and want to swallow my pride and win you back."

"Your self-confidence, your adorable arrogance, your profile illuminated by the afternoon sun by the window... I love everything about you."

Mochizuki Haruka remained still in the boy's arms for a moment before breaking free of his embrace.

“Sweet talk.” She uttered coldly, “I think Tomatsu Yuka could steal your soul just by lifting her leg in bed.”

"..." Matsueda Jun looked at her helplessly.

It's unclear what Tomatsu actually said to her, but it seems Mochizuki is still holding a grudge.

"No, that's not true. I even dreamed about you a few days ago."

"You're lying!" Mochizuki Haruka raised an eyebrow. "If you really dreamed about me, you would have told me already!"

The boy whispered in her ear.

"It's that kind of dream."

"..." The girl blushed and took a step back.

She turned her head to look at the lakeside, and it took her two seconds to regain her anger before continuing to speak.

When was the first time you slept with her?

The girl's tone turned cold again, and Jun Matsue sighed inwardly.

The moment when you have to tell the truth is the hardest to bear.

"Two days before I returned to Mitaka during summer vacation."

"..." Mochizuki Haruka's face showed a look of surprise.

She thought that Tomatsu Yuka seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation after she and Matsueda started their cold war.

As a result, they had already done it before the summer vacation deadline.

The girl wasn't stupid; she certainly knew what this meant.

When Jun Matsueda returned to his apartment to announce his decision, he had already slept with Yuka Tomatsu, and it was definitely of his own free will.

So the pine branch is serious...

It was only then that Mochizuki Haruka realized that Matsueda Jun's attitude was serious and earnest.

It wasn't a momentary lapse of judgment, nor was it a test leaving room for maneuver.

Songzhi has already slept with other women, and given his personality, he would definitely take full responsibility.

So he really intended to have his cake and eat it too, and make this kind of life his norm for the rest of his life.

Mochizuki Haruka's eyes reddened. "...Are you serious?"

Jun Matsue took a deep breath and nodded silently.

"Don't you want to say anything?" The girl grabbed his arm.

"Explain yourself! Don't try to justify yourself with your sweet talk!"

“There’s no point in making excuses.” The boy shook his head. “I already did it with Tomatsu a long time ago.”

“It wasn’t her who seduced me or anything,” he continued. “I’ve thought it through very clearly, and I will take responsibility for her.”

“Of course, I will also take responsibility for you.” Jun Matsue gripped the girl’s arm.

"I want them all, it's that simple."

The lakeside meadow quieted down, and even the sounds of the wind and the ripples of the water could be clearly heard.

Mochizuki Haruka's shoulders trembled. She broke free from the boy's grip on her hand and ran behind him.

"Get out of here!" the girl said, her back trembling.

Matsueda Jun followed, but Mochizuki Haruka didn't deliberately leave her footprints like she had when she came. Instead, she ran at full speed and quickly disappeared behind the greenery.

This wasn't a good time to chase after him, so the boy slowed down and stopped by the lake.

"...Everything that needed to be said has been said," he told himself.

The sound of birds flapping their wings rang out again, and Jun Matsue turned around.

The startled starlings flew back and landed on the statue of Lady Mochizuki.

Looking at the lush grass by the lake, Jun Matsue sighed one last time before leaving.

The place where he first saw Wang Yue weep was also here.
