Am I being simulated by their love affair?

The office workers opposite showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

"Is Matsueda-san's cold better?" Yamami Moki asked again.

"Oh, yes, thank you for your concern, senior." Matsueda Jun smiled, and the girl nodded with relief.

"It's good that you've recovered. The season will change in March, so Youhua should be careful too!"

"Yes~"

The train's announcement rang out, "The train is about to arrive at Hatsudai Station. The right door will open."

"We've reached Hatsudai Station ahead."

The train stopped at the station and the people in the carriage began to sway due to inertia. Jun Matsueda looked at the subtitles above the door.

The New National Theatre is right next to Hatsudai Station.

The next stop is Shinjuku, which is three stops away from Yotsuya where the oral test is located, so the three of them have to transfer again.

After getting off at Yotsuya Station, Jun Matsueda followed the two girls out of the station. The clear sky was a transparent blue, revealing the color that only appeared after a day of rain.

The temperature was still not high, but it was always above zero degrees. Looking at the people coming and going in front of the station, the boy yawned.

The snow in Tokyo is over.

"How is Matsueda-san preparing?" The senior student wearing a light blue scarf turned around and asked him.

"Matsueda-san and I have been practicing conversations recently," Tomatsu Tomoka answered for him.

"Is that so?" The girl showed a slightly surprised expression. Matsueda-san had never mentioned this to her.

"Are you confident, senior?" Jun Matsueda walked up to the girls. In front of them was Sophia University, which served as the examination venue.

"We will definitely get him!" Yamami Maki raised her fist aggressively, and Tomatsu Tomoka smiled and imitated her movements.

Jun Matsueda's oral examiner was a fair-skinned blonde woman with Nordic features.

The conversation was easier than he thought. From basic self-introduction to school life, subjects of interest, and reasons for choosing the school, Jun Matsueda answered fluently.

"One last question." The blonde older sister smiled sweetly, and it looked more like she was on a date than taking an oral test.

"Have you encountered anything new recently?"

The boy who had been smiling was in a trance for a while. He looked at the sky outside the window before speaking.

"I recently started getting a cat."

"Did you find a cat? Or a pet cat?"

"It's a friend's cat. She was going on a long trip, so she gave her cat to me."

When the examiner heard the boy in front of her say the word "she", her smile faded a little.

Jun Matsueda continued to speak, his tone sounded like a recollection, but also like he was reciting an essay.

"Raising a cat is really a hassle. You have to change the cat litter and add water and food regularly."

"Cats have very sensitive stomachs, so you can't feed them anything you don't like."

"Of course, generally speaking, cats' personalities are more sensitive than their stomachs." The woman in front of him laughed.

"When you're in a bad mood, it will stay away from you, and you won't be able to find it even if you try. But when you're in a good mood, it likes to follow you closely."

"Jumping onto my keyboard while I'm typing, licking my fingers, and running to my bed to wait for us to fall asleep together."

"When it can't sleep in the middle of the night, it will come and scratch my door. After I open the door, it will keep circling around my feet, wanting me to stay with it."

"Sometimes I like to talk, and I can talk for an entire afternoon, as if I want to vent all my emotions."

"Sometimes it wouldn't say a word, but would just lie on the windowsill and look at you quietly. The way its eyes glowed in the dark... you know."

He opened his hands and made a glowing gesture.

"It's truly a mysterious creature," Matsueda Jun sighed. "Perhaps humans will never be able to truly tame cats."

"But I think you have tamed her." The blonde woman gave a charming smile at the end, and Matsueda Jun couldn't tell whether she was talking about the cat or herself.

When he walked out of the examination room, two girls were already standing at the door waiting for him. Judging from their expressions, everyone should be able to pass smoothly.

"How do you feel, Matsueda-san?" Tomatsu Tomoka walked towards Matsueda Jun, while Yamami Maki waited until they walked out the door before following them.

"It's no problem."

"That's good~" The girl snorted with pleasure, and the three of them walked under the clear sky.

"What did you talk about with the examiner?"

"...a story about raising a cat."

Chapter 213: Unexpected Partner

When Jun Matsueda received the message from Haruka Mochizuki, it was the night before Aya Miyamura's interview for Uegaoka High School.

The cat's avatar flashed, "I couldn't help but send you a message."

The sound of the car outside the window seemed a bit noisy. As he sat up in bed, a new message came from the other side.

"Don't ever reply to me!"

Walking out of the bedroom, Kurusu Yoshi was doing yoga before bed in the living room. The girl looked a little surprised to see him, "Isn't Songzhi asleep?"

"Come out and get a glass of water." Matsueda Jun walked towards the kitchen. The girl on the cushion changed her position and lay on the ground like a big cat.

"Hmm...my chest feels a little tight."

After drinking some hot water, he returned to the room and Mochizuki Haruka sent him a picture.

That was the distant view of Mount Fuji in the early morning. The snow that fell two days ago had not melted yet, and the white snow line had already passed the mountainside. The morning wind blew up the snow, which drifted like smoke under the sunlight.

“I’m not at Mount Fuji anymore. This was taken right after I left Tokyo. You won’t be able to find me there now.”

Perhaps because the message was quickly shown as read, the other party sent another message.

“Don’t reply!”

Jun Matsueda lay on his side on the bed, the cold light of his cell phone screen illuminating his face.

There is no news for the time being. I don’t know what the girl on the other side is waiting for.

The girl in the hotel stood on the balcony, holding a soft drink in her hand. The color was scarlet, like blood dripping on the snow. In recent days, she liked to drink red things, such as watermelon juice, strawberry juice and Bloody Mary.

Mochizuki Haruka took a sip of her drink, glanced at her phone, and sighed softly at the clear night sky.

"I don't want you to reply me, but I also want you to reply me..."

Two minutes later, when Jun Matsueda was about to put down his phone, the cat avatar sent a message.

"This is the first place Mochizuki Haruka and Matsueda Jun go in the simulation."

"I'll just assume you walked with me."

The girl knew very well that it was Jun Matsueda's bedtime, but the chat interface quickly showed that the message had been read, making the drink in her cup become too sweet.

"Good night." This was her last message.

The next day, Jun Matsueda woke up very early. Takashi Ueyama had a day off today because of admissions consultation and interviews, but he still had to go to school.

The campus was empty. Jun Matsueda rode his bike to the bicycle shed, then went to the office to find Shoko Kominato.

"Well... Songzhi is in charge of the first floor." Maybe because there were not many people in the school and it was not a formal occasion, the female teacher addressed him in a more intimate way.

She flipped through the form in her hand. "Your partner is from Class 4. They should be here soon. Wait a moment~"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in." Xiaocou Shengzi didn't look up.

However, after five seconds, no one pushed the door open. The teacher, who was as tall as the girl, gave Matsueda Jun a stern look, and he walked towards the door consciously.

Holding the handle and opening the metal door, a familiar girl appeared outside. One of her hands was pressed on her plump chest, which kept rising and falling, as if she was adjusting her condition with deep breathing.

"Yukawa? Why are you here?" He was a little surprised. "Is there a filming job in the News Department today?"

Imokawa Natsumi shook his head and said timidly, "I'm here to be a volunteer."

Jun Matsueda was even more surprised. In his impression, Natsumi Imokawa was not the kind of person who would engage in this kind of social work.

"Why haven't you come in yet?" Kominato Shoko came over curiously and looked at the two people at the door. "Is that Imokawa Natsumi-san?"

"Yes, yes!" The girl's voice became shrill due to nervousness. "I'm Natsumi Imokawa from Class 4, Grade 1. Please take care of me, teacher!"

She knocked on the door just now and didn't come in because she was practicing this sentence.

"OK~ Songeda, your partner is here. After putting on your armbands, you can go to the first floor and wait." Xiaominato Shengzi handed them the two volunteer armbands in her hand.

"If you have any questions, please ask Matsueda first." She didn't know that the two knew each other, but she felt that the girl seemed a little introverted.

"Ok!"

The sound of their footsteps echoed on the stairs. "Why is Yichuan volunteering?"

"Because I want to see if anyone applied for the Yugaoka exam because of the promotional video!"

The girl's voice was excited, and her face was a little red, perhaps because she was shy about her own mentality - a bit like a celebrity searching for herself online.

"So that's how it is." Jun Matsueda nodded, indicating that he understood.

Even he would look forward to the reaction of the audience on the sidelines after scoring a super cool goal in physical education class.

The two of them came to the first floor. Their seats were right next to the stairs, with two desks placed there in advance.

They took the staircase in the middle of the teaching building, which divided the area into two parts. On the left was the corridor for student classrooms, and on the right was the corridor for classrooms, offices and various preparation rooms.

"Can we just sit here?" The girl sitting upright in the seat felt a little uneasy. She looked left and right awkwardly, as if she was feeling guilty for being lazy.

"We don't have a fixed position, so there will be other people who will guide the students who are coming for the interview." Jun Matsueda was already yawning on the table. He didn't sleep well last night.

"We're like a help desk, we just have to wait for people to come looking for us."

"Anyway, I'm here, you don't have to worry."

"Yeah." Imokawa Natsumi nodded with relief. "Senior told me before that Matsueda-san and I would be in the same group. I felt much more at ease now."

Matsueda Jun opened his eyes and asked, "Did Yamami-senpai tell you that?"

"Ok!"

It seems that the volunteers' grouping was arranged by Yamami Maki. Matsueda Jun looked towards the school gate and could already see the young faces of junior high school students on the road.

But why didn't the senior sister tell him? Did she want to give him a surprise?

Jun Matsueda turned to look at the girl next to him, and Natsumi Imokawa looked at him with her big confused eyes.

It can barely be considered a surprise.

The first junior high school student walked into the classroom building of Yuqiu High School and greeted Jun Matsueda, "Hello, senior, I'm here for an interview!"

Perhaps because Imokawa Natsumi's presence was too weak, the little boy ignored the girl beside him. Matsueda Jun smiled at him and pointed to the examination room layout map posted on the wall.

"The distribution of the examination rooms is on the wall. If you need any other help, please let us know."

"Thank you!" The boy bowed, stared at the chart on the wall for a while, and walked upstairs alone.

"That's right." Matsueda Jun looked at Natsumi Imokawa who was sitting next to him. "Actually, we shouldn't have much work to do. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

However, the development of the matter was beyond Jun Matsueda's expectations. At 9:30 in the morning, he looked at the girls chattering around the table.

"Senior, have you appeared in the promotional video? I remember you!"

"Matsueda-senpai! Will you still be participating in the Winter Cup this year? I'll support you!"

"Senior! Can I see you every day when I come to school?"

It seems that everyone has seen the promotional video... Natsumi Imokawa, who was hiding in the corner, thought with satisfaction.

Chapter 214: The Sealed Classroom

"very scary......"

After enduring a whole morning and having a working lunch in the cafeteria, Natsumi Imokawa followed Jun Matsueda to escape to the second floor, where they temporarily switched places with the volunteers on the second floor.

"Fortunately, the previous masks are still there." The two stood in front of the bathroom on the second floor, and Jun Matsueda took out a mask from his inner pocket.

"It seems that Yichuan's promotional video is very popular." He looked at the mirror in front of him, and the girl nodded excitedly behind him.

"I gave you a lot of shots!"
