Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 94 The Call That signaled impending collapse

Jun Matsueda received a call from Mizushima Miya three days after the confession incident in the teaching building.

Before answering the phone, he walked into the living room, picked up the remote control, and turned down the volume of the TV a lot.

Kurusu Yoshi suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and after he made a receiver gesture to his ear, the girl lay back down again.

Jun Matsueda walked to the balcony. In mid-October in Tokyo, the night was already noticeably cool enough for people wearing only short sleeves.

"Mizushima, why am I calling you at this hour? What's going on?"

"Has Songzhi read the school forum?" The voice on the other end sounded a little anxious.

"No." In fact, he has never logged into the forum since the bullying incident.

"Please open it now and take a look!"

"Okay." He returned to his room, turned on his second-hand computer, and entered the URL of the school forum.

The first post that caught my eye was: "Has Tomatsu Tomoka become arrogant since the National Conference?"

This must be the reason why Mizushima Miya asked him to look at the forum. Matsueda Jun clicked the mouse with a subtle mood, and a long discussion thread appeared in front of him.

He quickly glanced at it and found that the general content was about Tomatsu Tomoka from Class 2, Grade 1, who was the biggest contributor to the wind band winning the national gold medal this time. She was favored by the principal of the Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra. In addition, she had the best grades and was good-looking, so she was a little arrogant in school.

Everyone took turns listing several pieces of detailed evidence.

1. She doesn't respect boys. Not only is she cold towards the boys' confessions, she doesn't even have the most basic courtesy. She is sarcastic to those who confess their love, and later she simply doesn't respond.

Many boys who had confessed their love for her shared their experiences in their replies.

"These boys are just being shameless. They don't like Tomatsu at all. They just wanted to join in the fun because there was one. They got angry and embarrassed when they were pointed out!" Mizushima Miya said indignantly on the other end of the phone.

Matsueda Jun returned to the forum homepage and clicked on last week's hot post. "Is Tomatsu Tomoka really that charming?"

This post was made right after the wind band returned from the national conference. It describes in detail the process of the poster listening to his friend's story of falling in love at first sight with Tomatsu Tomoka and then failing to confess his love. The poster, who did not believe in superstition, tried it himself and quickly fell for her.

Why does it feel a bit like Zhihu Yanxuan? He scrolled down, and saw the process of others going from skepticism to marveling at the girl's pure appearance. Further down, there was a discussion thread with confessions and check-ins.

Apparently, that's how the confession craze of the past two weeks came about. What's this? What are the ten things boys at Hanaoka High School must do at school?
Jun Matsueda returned to that post and continued to look at the evidence of Tomatsu Tomoka's crimes.

2. He doesn't respect girls. He looks down on other girls because of his good looks. I can often feel her contemptuous gaze.

It seems that the person who spoke was also a girl. Surprisingly, many people agreed with such subjective feelings. Do the girls in Yuqiu High School have the ability to read each other's minds?

3. Disrespect for seniors. When Hirata confessed his love to her last week, she took the initiative to speak rudely to the seniors who were watching. Even after being admonished by the seniors who were dissatisfied with her, she showed no remorse and even became more sarcastic.

There are other pieces of evidence below, but Jun Matsueda is too lazy to read them. Anyway, the summary is that Tomatsu Tomoka does not respect anyone. If you only look at the posts in the forum, the girl is like a god of war fighting against heaven and earth.

There are other posts on the forum's homepage, mainly discussing Tomatsu Tomoka, both anonymous and not.

"If we let them continue to act recklessly and confuse right and wrong like this, Tomoka's situation at school will become very bad!" The worry and anxiety in Mizushima Miya's voice were like the night outside the window, so thick that it could not be dissolved.

"I will report to Mr. Kominato when I arrive at school tomorrow. Besides, all the classmates know what kind of person Tomatsu is, and everyone will care about her." Tomatsu Tomoka has many friends, unlike Matsueda Jun, who only learned his lesson after the bullying incident and established closer relationships with others.

However, if we consider it from the perspective of signs of bullying, this wave is even more turbulent than the one he experienced before. But Tomatsu Tomoka is no pushover; she even has experience as a perpetrator. Matsueda Jun leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling. She was confident she could protect herself; during the brass band training camp, she had only exerted a little force, and all her seniors had collapsed.

"Is there any way to delete these forum posts first?" Mizushima Miya was still unwilling to give in.

"There's nothing we can do. This forum was created by a senior who graduated a while ago. Even if the school wants to delete it, they have to contact him first." The school doesn't have the time to create a forum specifically for students to gossip and chat. He already knew all this.

"Okay, thank you Matsueda-san. I originally wanted to let Tomoka call you personally, but she refused to call you no matter what." The girl sighed. She still wanted to get closer to the two of them.

"Maybe it's because I've been through something similar, and she was afraid of affecting my emotions." He decided to end the conversation.

"Sorry." The person on the other end of the phone began to panic.

"It's okay. It's not too early. Mizushima should go to bed early." Jun Matsueda went to the kitchen to pour himself some water.

After the phone call was disconnected, Jun Matsueda picked up the water cup and drank it in big gulps. The clear water flowed from the corners of his mouth and flowed down his neck and collarbone.

He wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, walked into the living room, and sat down on the other end of the sofa. On the TV screen, a colorful picture kept changing.

Kurusu Yoshi kicked his thigh with her sockless feet. "What happened? I've never seen you come to the living room to watch TV on your own initiative before."

Matsueda Jun pushed her feet away, and the girl giggled from the itchiness. "It seems like there's something better than the TV show waiting for me."

"Really? I want to see it too!" Kurusu Yoshi jumped in front of him. "Working at 711-Eleven is so boring! The uniform isn't as good-looking as Lawson's, and you won't let me take off my mask!"

"Not showing your face can save the service industry a lot of trouble, especially for people like us with good-looking faces." This is what Jun Matsueda said from experience.

He returned to the topic, "Although it was very interesting and I did look forward to such a development, but when it actually happened in front of me, the feeling was still very complicated."

He had hoped to get back at others in their own way.

The next day after arriving at school, he stood next to Tomatsu Yuka and said, "Come on, let's go find Teacher Kominato and report the situation."

The girl nodded obediently, without saying a word, and stood up and left the classroom with him.

It was the end of get out of class, and the hallway was crowded. Tomatsu Yuka was trailing behind Matsueda Jun. She could feel the gazes from all directions, like hooks or barbed tentacles, eager to rip open her shiny, radiant skin and reveal her dark, damp, bloody, and shameful interior.

She looked at the boy's back. Three months ago, on the day when she begged for forgiveness, she was the one who walked through this corridor with Matsueda Jun. Looking back now, it seemed like it was a thing of the past life.

Jun Matsueda knocked on the office door. Kominato Shoko was not at her seat. He turned around and said, "The teacher may not be here. You can sit in her seat and wait."

Jun Matsueda looked at the girl sitting on the office chair. Her eyelashes were flickering and blinking very quickly. It was unclear whether it was because of anxiety or for some other reason.

As if she had anticipated what he was going to say, Tomatsu Tomoka took the initiative to speak. The girl smiled sweetly at the boy, as if she had taken the initiative and comforted him.

"Don't worry, Matsueda-san, I'll take care of it."

Jun Matsueda looked at her deeply. The girl had said the same thing to him after school a few days ago.

Tomatsu Yuka reached her right hand into her pocket and stroked the folded and fragile scripture. Lately, doing this would bring her peace and courage.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment. Whoever fears has not been made perfect in love.
