Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"came back."

Jun Matsueda walked into the entrance to change his shoes, and the girl took two steps back to make room for him.

"It's only 1:30 now, it's not that late, I can still pick you up." There was a little resentment in her voice.

Matsueda Jun sighed inwardly and put on his slippers. "Did you have a good lunch?"

"I've eaten." Mochizuki Haruka nodded obediently and looked at the plastic bag on the dining table. "Is Matsueda having rice balls for lunch?"

"It's a bit late, so let's just eat something simple." He took out the milk from the refrigerator and returned to the dining table to unwrap the rice ball.

There were only the two of them in the room. Although Neon attached great importance to Christmas, it did not arrange a holiday. Kurusu Yangshi was still at work at this time.

"Rice balls are not nutritious enough. We still have ingredients at home. I'll ask the maid to cook for you!" The girl ran to the balcony and was stopped by Matsueda Jun.

"That's too much trouble. There's no need for that. Just save the ingredients for dinner."

"But we have food for dinner, and it's on the way." Mochizuki Haruka sat on the chair next to Matsueda Jun, watching him eat the rice ball bite by bite.

"Those that can be refrigerated should be kept in the refrigerator. Those with a short shelf life can be given to the drivers or maids as a Christmas gift."

"But, if you don't eat them, then there's no point..."

The girl looked at the rice ball in Jun Matsueda's hand. It was really unfair that he could eat such ordinary, cheap, mass-produced food without any care.

Jun Matsueda didn't answer her immediately, but took a sip of milk. He picked up the glass bottle and looked at it, but couldn't find the supermarket label.

"Didn't you finish the milk you brought back earlier?"

"I brought a dairy cow back from Hokkaido. It's now being raised on a farm next to my house. From now on, you'll be able to drink Hokkaido milk every day!"

The girl said excitedly, looking at the boy next to her expectantly, hoping to hear his praise.

"Actually, I don't really like Hokkaido milk that much." Matsueda Jun swallowed the last bite of his rice ball. "You don't have to spend so much time on me."

Mochizuki Haruka's expression turned lost, "What did I do wrong again?"

"Is it because you don't like this milk? Did you choose the wrong pasture? Or is the quality of the forage not good enough? Or is there a problem with the purification and sterilization process?"

Matsueda Jun looked at the girl mumbling to herself and waved his hand in front of her. "The milk tastes good, no problem."

"Really? That's good!" Mochizuki Haruka's frown relaxed. She took another bottle of milk from the refrigerator and took a sip. "It's the same brand you often drank in Hokkaido. I told you it shouldn't be a problem."

After the girl finished drinking the milk with joy, Matsueda Jun spoke. Usually at this time he would be studying in the bedroom.

"Mochizuki...I feel like you've been a little too concerned about me lately, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Before Mochizuki Haruka could ask, "What did I do wrong?", Matsueda Jun continued, "I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but, how do I put it?"

He chose his words carefully, so as not to cause any harm to the girl's newly recovered heart. "Just like your aunt wouldn't follow you around and stare at you all day, right?"

"If she did that, you would also feel uncomfortable, right?"

Mochizuki Haruka was like a confused kitten. She nodded, "Is that so?"

"So, why don't you try to take your attention away from me? For example, go out for a walk, or watch a movie at home. Kurusu also subscribes to many TV channels, maybe there will be one you like?"

"And the game console you bought earlier, I've never seen you play it."

The girl shook her head, "Not really interested."

Matsueda Jun thought for a moment and asked, "Shall I accompany you?"

"I'm interested."

"Today is Christmas Eve, I brought back a cake~" When Lai Qi Yang Shi came home from get off work, he saw two people sitting on the sofa playing games with controllers.

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she saw it correctly, "What is this? A special Christmas event?"

"Let's take it this way." Matsueda Jun turned and looked at her. "Is it okay to have hot pot tonight?"

Various ingredients are bubbling in the pot, and the clear soup base gradually becomes thick.

"Does Matsueda have any Christmas customs?" Kurusu Yoshi, who was watching TV, suddenly asked, and Matsueda Jun shook his head.

"What a coincidence, Kurusu's family doesn't have any either. I was just wondering how to spend Christmas, but I actually have to stay at the company and film the music video!"

The girl angrily picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth. The anger in her heart disappeared along with the delicious taste that melted in her mouth.

"Delicious! I wish I could eat ingredients bought by Mochizuki for every meal!"

Mochizuki glanced at Jun Matsueda beside her. The girl wished these words came from his mouth, but after counting carefully, she found that Jun Matsueda had eaten a few less bites at night.

Matsueda Jun, chewing salmon, noticed the girl's anxious look and said, "Hot pot is great, but we still have cake tonight."

Only then did Wangyue Yao feel relieved.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa watching TV. After knowing Matsueda Jun's plan, Kurusu Yoshi began to change channels enthusiastically and recommended his favorite programs to Mochizuki Haruka.

"This is acceptable."

"It's boring."

"It's pretty interesting."

"boring."

Lai Qi Yang Shi pressed the remote control more than twenty times, but still couldn't figure out the pattern that Mochizuki Haruka was interested in.

Finally she understood that when Matsueda Jun sat next to Mochizuki Haruka, Mochizuki Haruka would show curiosity no matter what program was on TV. Once Matsueda Jun left for some reason, the girl's eyes would immediately follow him away, and she would not even hear the sound of the TV.

After eating the cake and going to bed, Mochizuki Haruka tossed and turned on the soft bed in 506, reviewing all the abnormal behavior of Matsueda Jun today.

The girl sat up in bed, watching the bright moonlight shine through the curtains onto her quilt.

"But if I don't think of you, I don't know what else I can think of..."

Chapter 169 The Third Girl’s Begging

On the 25th, Christmas Day, the second round of the Yuqiu High Winter Cup will be held at 12:20 noon.

"This time is so awkward," Joo complained to Sakamuro Ken beside him. "I'm usually either sleepy or hungry at this time, but now I have to play a game."

"And the number of viewers who will watch the live broadcast should be the least, because they will either be sleepy or hungry." Tsushima Kou said with a smile.

"Tsushima? When did you come?" Joey exclaimed in surprise.

"You're free because it's vacation. Not only me, but many people from Haneda High School have come here." Tsushima Kou pointed to the crowd behind him.

Jun Matsueda walked towards them with a yawning Haruka Mochizuki, and behind them were students holding flags and various cheering items.

"Come on, Sakamuro-san!" A girl from Class 1 shouted excitedly. She had once borrowed a telescope to peek at Sakamuro Ken's figure during swimming class.

"I will do my best!" Sakamuro Ken smiled brightly.

At 12:20, the second round of the game started on time. Jun Matsueda was still the same as usual. He did not warm up before the game. After the players from both sides entered the field, he returned to the bench, put on his coat and started chatting.

At 112:101, the game ended with the score of :, and the school song of Yugaoka High School was played again on the field.

"Feeling pretty relaxed, huh?"

Jun Matsueda handed Sakamuro Ken a bottle of Pocari Sweat, the cheerleaders surrounded the players and celebrated, and people in the audience walked down waving cheering flags.

"Do you know that before Sugisaki lost his fighting spirit after being beaten by you, our goal was to reach the top four?" Joe Shiroo rolled his eyes at Jun Matsueda.

"Then if we don't make it to the semi-finals, wouldn't I be the biggest sinner?"

"It's okay. If I can't do it, I'll let you go. It should be no problem for us to reach the semi-finals." Shiroo Jō patted Matsueda Jun's shoulder.

"You're much more useful than Sugisaki!"

After leaving the gymnasium, the girls from the wind band waved to Jun Matsueda amidst the crowd at Haneda High School. "Matsueda, we've made plans to go shopping in Shibuya this afternoon. Do you want to come?"

"As much as I want to go, I have plans today."

Although Tomatsu Tomoka said that his acting skills had regressed, when Matsueda Jun refused with a smile, people could only see the sincere regret in his heart.

"See you tomorrow~" The girls waved their hands and walked towards the station, Tomatsu Tomoka's white scarf and Yamami Matsuki's amulet swaying in the wind.

Jun Matsueda and Yao Mochizuki fell behind the crowd and slowly walked towards the main road.

"Matsueda!" The girl's voice sounded on his left. Matsueda Jun turned his head, and Imokawa Natsumi ran to him panting.

"Um, Merry Christmas! We don't have the tradition of celebrating Christmas at home, but Mom and Dad said I should tell my friends..."

Jun Matsueda looked behind the girl and saw a graceful woman wearing sunglasses standing on the side of the road waving at him. Next to her was a car with a middle-aged man in the driver's seat.

"Merry Christmas, say hello to my uncle and aunt for me."

Jun Matsueda waved to the woman, and she seemed to smile. The car horn honked twice, reminding the girl that it was time to leave.

"There are only two of us left." He looked at the girl beside him. Mochizuki Haruka looked a little listless, perhaps because she didn't sleep well last night.

"Are we going to Tokyo Tower now?" The girl blinked. She was looking southeast, even though she couldn't see Tokyo Tower from Tokyo Stadium.

"I'll listen to you." Jun Matsueda told Haruka Mochizuki that he would accompany her to Tokyo Tower today.

"Let's wait until night, I hope it will snow." The girl said softly. What her aunt wanted to see was the snow on the top of Tokyo Tower on Christmas Eve.

"That's a bit difficult..." Jun Matsueda shook his head helplessly. Tokyo is not Hokkaido, and it usually snows in January.

After entering Setagaya Ward in a black car, Mochizuki Haruka once again stood in front of the gate of Toriyama Hospital affiliated with Showa University.

The last time the girl opened the door of the ward was when she had just returned from Hokkaido. The air was still filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, and Sleeping Beauty was still lying quietly on the bed.

The difference from last time was that there was an envelope on the cabinet next to the bed. Mochizuki Yao didn't even look at it and directly threw the ginger-yellow envelope into the deepest part of the drawer.

Three days ago, the medical team proposed a new plan, but also made no progress.

She no longer wanted to recall that innocent, hopeful self.

Jun Matsueda walked into the ward carrying several bags of different sizes. "All the decorations are in here."

The two decided to spend the afternoon decorating their aunt's hospital room to add a festive touch.

It was already past six in the evening when I walked out of the hospital. The sun had long since set, and the evergreen trees on the street were hung with silver light chains, and the shops on both sides were decorated with red and green decorations.

After a quick dinner, Mochizuki Yao got on the bus heading to the port area. Looking at the colorful lights outside the window, she finally woke up completely.

The sleepy girl took another nap in the afternoon.

"We probably won't see any snow today." Matsueda Jun said to her, and the girl nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, the two were standing on the top of Tokyo Tower, overlooking the entire city.

Even standing at an altitude of 300 meters, they could still clearly see large strips of light on the ground. All the trees on the roadside were hung with chains of lights, and a lighting ceremony was being held in every block, making the streets on the ground look like the Milky Way in the sky.

This is especially true in bustling neighborhoods. At Roppongi's lighting ceremony, it's more like the lights forming the trees rather than the trees being hung with lights.

Tokyo during the Christmas season is so beautifully wrapped in abundant material things that one can't help but forget the bad things that happened that year and only remember all the glittering things.

"Christmas is probably the night with the highest electricity consumption in Tokyo."

Jun Matsueda looked at the reflection of Haruka Mochizuki in the floor-to-ceiling window. The girl walked up to him with a bag in her hand.

"Here are some cycling gloves. The ones you were wearing before are very worn out."

Mochizuki Haruka took out a pair of black gloves and wanted to put them on him herself, but Matsueda Jun had already reached out to take them.

After he put on his gloves, the quiet girl continued.

"Matsuzhi, you said I care about you too much, so can you tell me how I can treat you well?"

"If I'm allowed to pick you up from school, can I walk with you when you go to and from get off work during winter break?"

"If you mind me recording what you eat, I will never do it again. I just want to know what you like to eat and want you to eat more."

"What level of satisfaction do you find acceptable, and what aspects do you dislike?"

"If you just tell me."

"As long as you tell me, I can do whatever it takes."

As long as it is something you like, I have it and you can take it away.

"But, can you please stop trying to push me away?"

"I just want to be nice to you..."

The girl walked up to Matsueda Jun like an ignorant young fox, with a sad look in her eyes.

"You have to be responsible for what you tame."

You must be responsible for what you tame.

You must be responsible for your roses.
