Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 85 The Meal at Mochizuki's House

When Mochizuki Haruka and Matsueda Jun opened the car door, the woman in the back seat was looking through a pile of documents.

This was an extended sedan with sofa-style seats in the back. Jun Matsueda sat opposite his aunt and nephew.

Wang Yuehua changed out of her hospital gown and put on her long skirt again. She didn't look like a sick person at all.

However, when my aunt was silent, she did look more and more frail, completely different from her temperament when Jun Matsueda first met her at the manor.

"Why are you staring at me?" The woman gently kicked his calf with the tip of her high heel.

"Because my aunt is sitting opposite me."

The woman and her niece switched places, and this time it was Mochizuki Haruka who stared at him, while Matsueda Jun looked at the street view outside the window and listened to the two people chatting.

"Auntie, now that you're awake, do you feel any discomfort?"

"It's like I just had a good sleep. Everything feels normal and I feel quite refreshed."

The woman knocked on the armrest of the seat, creating a groove, and pulled out a few glasses and a steaming bottle of soda.

Her high heels rubbed against his trouser legs, "Mr. Matsueda, I want to drink soda. Can you pour it for me?" She winked at Jun Matsueda.

It seemed that my aunt also had something to say. She took the soda bottle and gently unscrewed the cap with her left thumb and index finger, making a crisp sound.

Mochizuki pressed another glass into her niece's hand, and Matsueda Jun poured soda and got himself one too. It had a lemony flavor, a bit like the drink she'd had on the Shinjuku rooftop that night.

The tires of the stretched sedan were spinning as fast as a phantom. When they passed over the bumps on the road, he didn't feel any bumps at all, but only saw ripples on the surface of the water in the cup.

"It looks like it's going to rain soon." Mochizuki Hua and Matsueda Jun were on the balcony of the manor, looking at the ripples in the pond.

"It rains every time I come here." Jun Matsueda said while sitting at the small round table.

"Perhaps the Wangyue family is just unlucky." The woman sighed. The black gauze dress she wore today was similar to that day, with a layered design and thin sleeves that revealed glimpses of her arms. She stood on the edge of the balcony, the wind no longer able to lift her skirt.

Jun Matsueda knew she wasn't talking about the weather.

"When I woke up today, I asked the doctor if my symptoms would get worse. She said that at the moment, there was no sign that my condition wouldn't get worse."

The rain got heavier, and Wang Yuehua, who had been looking at the pond with her back to him, turned around.

"Am I really going to become Sleeping Beauty?" There was visible worry in her eyes. These emotions were well hidden on that rainy afternoon more than a month ago, but now they were finally revealed.

In the face of a disease whose name she didn't even know, wealth, power, and her still young life span were of little use. She could only watch the end approach.

"The doctor said that the worst possible outcome is brain death." The woman's voice trembled slightly.

What should Matsueda Jun say? He couldn't offer any help to his aunt, and she wasn't the schoolboy Haruka Mochizuki, whose mind was already fully mature. A few words wouldn't comfort her.

She sat down opposite Jun Matsuoka, her two fair arms folded on the table. The woman lowered her head to look at the balcony floor, her posture like that of someone taking a nap at school.

"Oh - ah - what should I do!" She suddenly shouted with her head down, with a bit of girlish anger and helplessness.

It seemed that this was her way of venting her emotions. Jun Matsueda looked into the distance and counted the dragonflies over the pond.

Wang Yuehua continued to shout nonsense about things like company, equity, love, virginity, etc., and her voice became more and more vague, even unclear than a pond in the rain.

As if she was tired of shouting, the woman became quiet. She took a few deep breaths and looked up at the boy sitting opposite her.

"After I woke up last time, I started making plans for what to do in case I lost consciousness for a long time."

"I can ensure Xiaoyao's material life is very good. I am even sure that when she takes over, the scale of the Wangyue family will become even larger."

"But I don't know, if I never wake up again, will she still be the little girl who can cry and laugh, and who will frown and listen to me read fairy tales to her."

When she said this, she looked at Matsueda Jun without blinking, and the implication was obvious.

"You shouldn't count on me for this kind of thing. It would be more reliable to find a psychologist for her." Jun Matsueda avoided the woman's eager gaze.

Although he had a promise with Mochizuki Haruka, it wasn't the same as his aunt's entrustment. To put it bluntly, if the woman before him were truly going to die, then her current actions would be no different from entrusting her with a child's fate. Matsueda Jun didn't intend to accept such a heavy burden.

"That's a nice thing to say. A psychologist or something. If she wants to fire someone, she can do it at will." The woman deliberately used a relaxed tone to dilute the serious atmosphere.

"I made an agreement with Mochizuki Haruka before. If anything happens to her, I will do my best to help. But Aunt, please don't expect too much. It's better to make more arrangements."

He didn't want to get entangled with the woman over this matter.

"So what are your plans now, Matsueda-kun?"

"Mochizuki Haruka has a strong fear of death. We need to let her learn to accept death first, starting with a fake death."

Jun Matsueda's thoughts have never changed. This is a fact that the girl must face, no matter how much she tries to avoid it.

"Then I can only look forward to seeing what Matsueda-kun has to offer." The woman smiled and stood up, and the two of them left the balcony. "It's time to go and ask Xiaoyao to come over for dinner. If she asks later, just say we were talking about the orphanage."

Jun Matsueda nodded, and as he went downstairs, he looked at the slender back of the woman in front of him, with the layers of black veil on her shoulders undulating.

"Looking at black clothes for too long can really affect your mood." The woman said she had a lot of plans, but she didn't mention her future, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. "There's an overseas expert team on the way, don't be too pessimistic."

Wang Yuehua held onto the stairs with one hand and looked back, smiling a bit wickedly, "Matsueda-kun actually cares about me. If Xiaoyao hears this, she'll be jealous."

Mochizuki Haruka was already sitting at the dining table waiting for the two of them. She still had the cat hairpin on her head and a lazy golden female cat in her arms.

"Golden Branch!" Jun Matsueda called softly, and the cat stretched out on the girl's black thigh-high socks and jumped into his arms.

The girl looked at him angrily, or perhaps at the cat in his arms, "You stayed upstairs for a long time."

"I asked Matsueda-kun some things about the welfare home." The woman sat down at the dining table. The maid carried the dishes into the hall, and the aroma of seafood wafted in.

"Is dinner going to be seafood paella?" Jun Matsueda looked at the risotto in front of him with rich soup, with tamagoyaki, sea urchin, shrimp and tuna pieces spread on top, and the gaps filled with salmon roe, which was bright red and very appetizing.

He pretended not to see the girl's look of seeking confirmation. He had agreed not to tell lies in front of her.

"This is what Xiaoyao arranged for you. She thought you would like it." Auntie began to fan the flames. In fact, she just wanted to eat it, so she asked the kitchen to make it.

Mochizuki Haruka glared at her.

The Mochizuki family did not follow the etiquette and rules when eating as Matsueda Jun thought. The aunt and nephew chatted while eating, and of course he did not speak.

The girl opened her little mouth and put the white and tender scallop meat into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction. Jinzhi under the table meowed with greed.

"The school held a ball game two days ago," she said to her aunt.

"Matsueda-kun must have participated, right?" The woman looked at Matsueda Jun. She was impressed by the way he unscrewed the bottle cap with two fingers in the car before.

Jun Matsueda swallowed the tuna and wiped his mouth with a tissue. "We participated in the basketball game. Our class won the school championship."

The aunt clapped her hands, and Mochizuki Haruka continued, "I signed up for tennis, and I became the champion, the whole school champion."

"Really?" The woman put down the spoon and walked over to the girl. "I haven't seen you play tennis in a while. What style and color is your tennis uniform? Are you wearing a skirt? Do you have any photos?"

Mochizuki Yao pushed her aunt's face away from her. "There are no photos. If you want to see them, I can just wear them for you."

"But I want to see you win the championship even more! You must look so handsome!" The woman stomped her feet regretfully. The golden cat jumped around under her long skirt. The girl buried her head in her food, hiding her smile.

When Jun Matsueda got into the car to leave the manor, the dragonfly was still flying over the pond. Although the rain had stopped, there were still circles of ripples on the water surface.

He turned on his phone and saw new messages in the news department's group chat.

"We need to prepare for the filming of the Wind Ensemble National Convention."

　I'm recommending a fanfiction about a character without a job title. The writing style is excellent, the logic is sound, and it's already at 60 words with good results. You can read it without worry.
