Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"So I'll let you see."

"It's not a bad thing to let you see the changes you've brought to me. I will get better and prove that I'm worthy of being loved and changed by you."

"That's why I have to leave."

"I am leaving like the little prince, and you are the rose that stays here waiting for me."

Mochizuki Haruka laughed, her smile was so natural, as if the previous hesitation and pain were just a trick to win the favor of Matsueda Jun.

"I won't listen to you anymore. I want to deal with my pain on my own."

"But before I leave, I have to collect some interest."

As she spoke, the girl walked towards Jun Matsueda, threw down the umbrella in her hand, and pulled him into the snow.

Then she hugged Jun Matsueda's body and tilted her head back to kiss him.

Jun Matsueda's mouth was tightly closed. He tried to let her go, but the girl held him very tightly, like a corpse, with her joints and muscles stiff.

So he bit Mochizuki Haruka's two soft lips, trying to make her let go by causing her pain.

However, the girl's movements became more forceful. She used her teeth to tear at Jun Matsueda in turn, and the pain began to invade the brains of both of them.

The long-lost kiss tasted of blood, and the bright red liquid fell on the snow, stinging people's eyes and making them hurt.

Feeling the pain between her lips, the girl's emotions were conveyed through the trembling of her body, painful and excited, determined and reluctant.

The weak are not good at love, but she has never regretted making Matsueda Jun her hope.

A few minutes later, Mochizuki Haruka finally let go of her hand. Matsueda Jun pursed his lips. There were few intact patches of skin left.

"We really have to leave now." The girl didn't look at him, her expression shy.

"I'm serious. I might text you or call you. Whatever happens, don't respond, okay?"

"Let me struggle on my own."

Mochizuki Haruka picked up the umbrella on the ground and looked at Matsueda Jun for the last time. Her eyes moved slowly, carefully tracing his outline.

"When I come back, will you be looking forward to the me who still loves you, or the Mochizuki Haruka who no longer loves you?"

She turned and walked out of the courtyard, and Matsueda Junya followed the girl with an umbrella.

"Don't send me off!" Mochizuki Yao turned her head and said angrily.

"There's nothing in this yard, so I have to leave." His tone was helpless.

"Okay~" the girl laughed, then immediately raised her brows, "Once we walk out the door, you're not allowed to follow me!"

The two walked out of the courtyard. The road outside the shrine was white with no traces of tire tracks. It was probably because the nearby traffic was blocked due to heavy snow.

"Goodbye." The girl holding the black umbrella turned around and waved goodbye to him.

"Please cheer up."

Wangyueyao is not the little prince, so she cannot turn into light and leave. She can only walk towards the end of the road step by step.

In the falling snow, Wang Yueyao walked farther and farther away, and finally turned into a white umbrella.

After watching the girl's back until she disappeared, Matsueda Jun raised his head.

The snowy sky is as bright as day.

His heart could no longer be hardened.

Chapter 211 After She Left

There was a sound of a door opening in the entrance hall, and the girl lying on the sofa pulled her clothes and sat up.

"I'm home?"

"Hmm." The boy took off his boots, and the soles of his boots hit the floor of the entrance, making him groan.

"It's so cold outside today." Lai Qi Yang Shi stood up and stretched, revealing his beautiful body under the loose sweatshirt.

She walked past Jun Matsueda who was changing into slippers, and after a few seconds she walked back.

"What's wrong?" Jun Matsueda raised his head.

"Why is your hair wet?" The girl looked at the umbrella on the porch, which was damp. "Didn't you bring an umbrella with you when you went out?"

"...I was kind of missing Hokkaido, so I took a walk in the snow."

"Did you go to the zoo to kiss the hedgehog?" Kurusu Yoshi looked at Matsueda Jun's lips curiously. "Why did your mouth become like this?"

"I bumped into something." He wanted to find a more appropriate excuse, but it was difficult.

"Did you bump into the little hedgehog?"

The girl asked with a smile. She didn't think about kissing because generally speaking, kissing wouldn't leave the mouth scarred.

Matsueda Jun put on his cotton slippers, walked around the girl who was watching him, and went into the kitchen. He opened the cupboard, took out the bag of cocoa powder, and made himself a cup of hot cocoa.

Kurusu Yoshi stood outside the kitchen glass and looked at him. Her eyes seemed to have discovered that the guy she lived with actually had telekinesis.

While waiting for the cocoa powder to completely dissolve, Matsueda Jun stood in front of the cupboard, examining the bag in his hand. He pulled out his phone and checked the brand on the packaging. Judging by the price, it couldn't possibly be something he and Kurusu Yoshi had bought.

The cold, dark brown powder transformed into a light brown, steaming liquid. Matsueda put the bag back in its place. As he closed the door, he took another look inside the cupboard. There were several more bags of the same packaging deep inside.

Picking up the hot cocoa in his hand, the hot liquid mixed with the aroma of milk and cocoa slid into his mouth, and Matsueda Jun frowned in pain.

I forgot there was a wound on my mouth.

He sat at the dining table with a cup of hot cocoa, and the girl sat across from him with her back to the TV—which wasn't as good looking as Jun Matsueda's rare state.

"You cried?" Kurusu Yoshi studied Matsueda Jun's features. "Your eyes are so red."

"Can't it be the wind?" Jun Matsueda said unhappily, stirring the hot cocoa with a spoon, trying to make it cool down faster.

"How can they be the same?" The girl waved her hands in denial. "You must have been crying!"

"I saw a musical today. It was a very touching one."

"Oh——" Kurusu Yangshi cupped his cheeks and nodded cutely, "Matsueda has an event today..."

"Why do I feel—" She was interrupted by Jun Matsueda in the middle of her words.

"Okay, okay, let me rest for a while." He said helplessly and pushed the cup in front of him towards the girl.

"Here's some hot cocoa for you. It won't taste good if it's cold."

"Don't you want to drink anymore?" The girl held the cup with both hands. The warmth from her palms made her squint her eyes comfortably.

"I have a wound on my mouth and can't drink." Matsueda Jun licked his tongue calmly, and felt a slight pain on the tip of his tongue.

How did she bite it?

"Then I won't be polite~" Lai Qi Yang Shi picked up the cup and drank it in small sips. His squinted eyes became even wider.

The living room became quiet for a while. Jun Matsueda looked at the TV screen. It seemed that an entertainment program was interviewing tourists at the airport.

While Kurusu Yoshi was still enjoying her hot cocoa, Matsueda Jun noticed out of the corner of her eye that something ran out of her bedroom.

The cat, which had gained a little weight, was strolling leisurely in the living room. Its golden fur was shining under the light and it looked in good condition.

"Why is it here?" Matsueda Jun looked at the girl.

"What?" Lai Qi Yang Shi didn't look back. Jin Zhi walked over, jumped gracefully onto the dining table, then lay down and looked at the brown liquid in the girl's hand.

"So it's Jinzhi~" She reached out and stroked the cat's head, "I can't give you this to drink. Your tongue can't stand its temperature."

The golden tabby cat called softly twice, crawled forward a few steps, and rubbed its head against Matsueda Jun's elbow.

"It really likes you." The girl was a little angry that she was ignored. "The maid brought it here this afternoon. Please take good care of it."

It seems that he is indeed going on a long journey. Jun Matsueda looked at the wings of the plane disappearing in the night sky in the background of the TV. It was still snowing outside.

If we were flying, we should have left the Kanto Plain by now, right?

"Wangyue is very careful with it." Laiqi Yangshi stood up and held the cat in his arms. The mother cat's wailing was weak.

"She still likes her pets."

"I didn't feel that." In Matsueda Jun's memory, this guy always got the cold shoulder from girls.

"Absolutely!" She shook the cat in her arms and handed her cell phone to Jun Matsueda, who reached out to take it.

The chat interface was filled with bubbles from the other side, with forty-three items of attention ranging from favorite cat food to susceptible diseases.

"If you don't really like it, why would you pay so many attention to it?"

"It seems so." Matsueda Jun nodded.

He had never seen her two precious notebooks, otherwise he would know the difference between liking and loving.

After brushing his teeth and taking a shower, he watched TV with Kurusu Yoshie for a while. After all the lights in the apartment were turned off, Matsueda Jun lay on his bed and began to search his memory.

The first time she drank hot cocoa at home was on the sixth day after returning from Hokkaido. She walked into his bedroom with a cup in her hand. At that time, she seemed to be exploring more ways to combine milk.

Under the girl's expectant eyes, Matsueda Jun put down his pen and took a sip. "It tastes pretty good. The sweetness of the cocoa is just right."

She walked out of the room with light steps, muttering to herself, "Why not just buy enough for the whole winter..."

That's where all that cocoa powder in the cupboard comes from.

As for why so many were left, it was because 507 lost a person who knew how to drink hot cocoa.

He fell asleep while sorting through his memories.

The next morning, when Jun Matsueda opened the curtains, the snow outside had just stopped. The last snowflakes fell to the ground, and the sky was silent.

He went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. After wiping the water droplets off his face, he licked his lips in the mirror. He still looked strange.

The snow on the side of the road had not been cleared clean. For safety reasons, Jun Matsueda spent a few more minutes on the road. When he walked into the classroom, the girl sitting next to him felt a little uneasy.

"Good morning, Matsueda-san~" Tomatsu Tomoka's mood calmed down. She greeted him as usual, and then noticed the boy's face.

"you caught a cold?"

Jun Matsueda, wearing a mask, nodded.

He decided to hide the traces left by the girl.

Chapter 212 She is a Cat

It took four days for the wound on Jun Matsueda's lip to no longer be noticeable. The shriveled soft scab looked like dark red lip skin and looked a little bloody.

"It bites too hard..." He would sigh in front of the mirror every morning after washing up.

After taking off his mask, Jun Matsueda began to apply lip balm so as not to attract too much attention from the girl sitting next to him.

"Um, what brand of lip balm is Matsueda-san using lately? I want to buy one too."

Tomatsu Tomoka looked at the boy next to her. They were now on the train. The girl blinked. For some reason, she always had the urge to kiss Matsueda Jun's lips when she looked at him recently.

Although it happened before.

"......Here." Jun Matsueda took out a lipstick from his bag and handed it to her. The girl observed the small lipstick stick for a while and thought it would be better not to open it and try it now.

"Thank you, Matsueda-san~"

The girl returned the lipstick to him. There were many people in the carriage. The two of them held the handrails. Because of the shaking of the tram, their elbows and shoulders bumped into each other from time to time.

Today is the day for the English proficiency test, which happens to be a week after Jun Matsueda watched the musical.

Nothing major happened this week, only the midterm exam silently reminded students that the short white semester is already halfway over.

"Matsueda-san, it's time to get off the train." The girl pulled his shoulder, and the two got off at Meidaimae Station in Setagaya, preparing to transfer to the Keio Line.

They waited in the station for a while until a girl wearing a sky blue scarf appeared at the entrance.

"Sorry for the long wait~" Yamami Moki walked into the station and smiled at the two of them. She stretched out her right hand from her pocket, and there were colorful candies in her palm.

"Same old fashioned, candy before the exam!"

It was still Jun Matsueda who chose first, and Tomoka Tomatsu took the same one as him. The three of them walked into the purple tram on the Keio Line. Fortunately, there was a seat available.

"February is almost over." The girls sitting together started chatting. Jun Matsueda sat next to them, wearing headphones and watching a spoken English video.

"We're upstairs already..." The voice in the headset was not loud, but he could still vaguely hear the girls talking.

They're probably talking about the third-year students, right? The third-year class is on the floor above where the senior is, so there shouldn't be many people there by now.

After the common exams, third-year students were no longer required to attend school. Most of them had to take the internal exams of various universities starting in February, so the campus of Yuqiu High School seemed much quieter.

A white hand waved in front of Matsueda Jun. He took off his headphones and turned his head. Yamami Maki and Tomatsu Touka looked at him together.
