Am I being simulated by their love affair?

Haruka Mochizuki leaned forward to attract Tomatsu Tomoka's attention, but was pulled back by Jun Matsueda.

"Don't do anything weird. Aren't you going to see your aunt? Go quickly." He drove the girl out of the classroom and went to the film research institute to return the disc.

Tomatsu Tomoka watched the boy in front of her walk away. He was frivolous and ignorant of etiquette, and confessed his love to her after seeing her photo.

She kind of wanted the school to change the photo on the bulletin board so that it wouldn't attract some unknown people.

The girl sighed and raised her head as if she realized something.

There was nothing there but an open window, with white curtains fluttering outside the wall.

In front of the car was the white hospital building. Mochizuki Haruka was sitting in the car, still thinking about the questions in the movie.

If the ending is destined to be sad, should we continue to go on for the sake of short-term happiness?

She remembered the gentle eyes of Jun Matsueda beside her bed when she woke up in the hospital bed.

I thought of the pictures sent by the bodyguard again, the boys and girls who looked out of place in the crowded subway, and Jun Matsueda leaning on the shoulder of the pink-haired girl, sleeping peacefully and quietly.

"I'll try to change," he said.

She would also change, Mochizuki Haruka made a decision. She would suppress her affection, slowly grind it into powder, and swallow it with cold water, just like taking medicine.

Anyway, Jun Matsueda would not choose her, and the girl didn't want to have any unnecessary expectations.

She didn't know that some things cannot be changed even if a decision is made.

Chapter 89: Prelude to the Cultural Festival

At the second meeting of the Cultural Festival Executive Committee, Jun Matsueda lowered his head and looked at the documents in his hand. Although the chairman was still speaking, many people were secretly looking at him.

Ever since the news of Jun Matsueda winning the gold medal at the National Geography Olympiad was announced, the already high level of attention he received had increased even more. Therefore, in crowded situations like this, he would generally keep his head down and act as if nothing had to do with him.

Unlike his efforts to keep a low profile, Jun Matsueda has recently occasionally heard people from other classes talking about Tomatsu Touka, mostly talking about how the boys who confessed to her were coldly rejected and ruthlessly belittled.

After the news spread, the number of boys confessing their love to her did not decrease, and the number of people watching the fun increased. Recently, Mizushima Miya often talked about this matter after class, and said that the academic workload at Yuqiu High School was too light, which was why there were so many idle people.

"Each class is requested to submit its cultural festival activity plan to Tsushima Kou by the 18th. Each club is also requested to submit its program or activity schedule to Yamami Maki by the same deadline. Please remember all of this. This meeting is now closed."

After the meeting, Jun Matsueda did not return to the classroom, but waited at the door for Yamami Maki to come out.

Mochizuki Haruka is the executive committee member of Class 1. Their class is decided by drawing lots, and the girl's luck is obviously not very good.

She didn't wait for Jun Matsueda, but just looked at him again before leaving and went downstairs.

Tsushima Kou and Yamami Matsuki walked out the door together, and Matsueda Jun followed them. Both of them waved and greeted him.

"Matsueda must have been under everyone's attention recently, right? I won't bother you anymore. The News Department won't be organizing any big events, and we'll notify you in the group when the time comes." Tsushima Kou made a photo-taking gesture to him and left.

"Congratulations to Matsueda-san for winning the gold medal in geography." The girl's smile was sincere. "Xin-chan specifically asked me to tell you that she's secured a spot in the international competition, and she won this time."

He remembered what Kuroba Shin said about the concern between them. Since Senior Yamami could call her Shin-chan, it seemed that their relationship was not that bad.

"Thank you, Yamami-senpai. Please congratulate her for me. I have something to ask you this time."

Yamami Maki paused as she walked down the stairs. Matsueda Jun turned to look at her, "Yamami-senpai?"

"It's okay, let's keep going." Her eyebrows curved, and a hint of joy rose in her heart. This seemed to be the first time that Matsueda Jun asked her for help.

"Mr. Matsueda, what do you want to talk to me about?" She quietly distanced herself from Jun Matsueda, but she still had to avoid suspicion.

"Look, I asked around, and it seems Asai-senpai used to be in the wind band. I wonder if you're familiar with her?"

The girl's heart skipped a beat. "Well, she's familiar with me, right? Matsueda-san, is there anything you need from her?"

Did Asai-san really succeed? Is it true that Matsueda-san is attracted to playboy-type girls?

A bunch of disappointment emerged in Yamamiya Maki's heart, and she immediately pulled out this weed that shouldn't have appeared.

"No, actually she confessed to me some time ago, and I rejected her properly. But the senior is still pursuing me in school, and I'm a little troubled." Jun Matsueda had a headache. What he least wanted to deal with was someone who ignored the other person's attitude, especially in public.

"Is there any way for Senior Sister to persuade her?"

He'd already said all the nice things about that beautiful senior. Asai-san was smart enough to only approach him in public. If he'd just given her a cold shoulder or rejected her in a more awkward way, he'd easily be labeled "disrespectful" or "arrogant." This applies to both men and women.

"Well - I'll try my best to find a way." Although Yamami Moki didn't know what to do, she still agreed.

She had always thought this handsome junior was almost omnipotent: excellent grades, gold medals in competitions, proficient in basketball and drums, and very mature in his dealings with others. This was the first time he had revealed his "incompetent" side in front of her, and the girl was secretly delighted.

If I reject him, he will find someone else, right? For the sake of my image as a junior, I must agree, Yamami Moki said to herself.

"Thank you, senior." When the two were about to say goodbye at the stairs on the third floor, a group of people rushed into the stairwell from the corridor.

Seeing that the boy in front was about to bump into Yamami Maki, Matsueda Jun reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling the girl behind him.

"Sorry!" The boys didn't even take their full steps, and the girls with smaller steps followed behind.

After confirming that Yamami Maki was standing firmly, Matsueda Jun released her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Senior, I don't know what these people are in such a hurry to do. They didn't even look at the road."

The two watched them hurried downstairs, shouting something like "Found it, found it".

"The second-year students have been too idle lately. During lunch break and after school, they go to find out where Tomoka will be confessed to, and then wait to see the confessor make a fool of himself." Yamami Maki's expression was also a little unnatural, partly because of the amusing behavior of the onlookers, and partly because Matsueda Jun had just grabbed her hand.

"Is there such a thing?" Jun Matsueda was also surprised, but when he thought about how his rumors had spread so quickly before, he suddenly understood.

There are really a lot of people who are both idle and gossipy.

"I hope the cultural festival can help them consume some of their energy that they have nowhere to put it." Yamami Moki thanked him and walked into the third floor.

After Matsueda Jun returned to the classroom, he found that Tomatsu Tomoka was indeed not there. It seemed that she had gone to reject someone else's confession again.

He walked up to the stage alone and announced to his classmates during lunch break that preparations for the cultural festival were about to begin. If they had any suggestions, they could directly come to him or the deputy class monitor.

After Matsueda Jun returned to his seat, he sighed subconsciously. Why did he feel like a spinning top lately?

He thought about it and realized that not only was he working around the clock, but he also didn't get any money other than competing, and he had an extreme lack of sense of achievement.

He hadn't worked for a long time and he missed it. Working was the best. It didn't require much mental effort, and even sweating could be considered fitness. And the daily pay was no problem.

Recently, fewer people have been looking for him at the escape house. After the president of Aoyuan added employees, they will only look for him when they really need people. After all, it will be very troublesome if something happens to minors.

The cell phone in the drawer vibrated at an inopportune time. Jun Matsueda opened Line and saw a message from Laisu Yangshi.

Kirakira Yoshi wasn't like the other girls he added, whose profile pictures were animals or cute girls. Hers was just a line of pink and gold chibi font: Kirakira, which also served as her account name.

"Matsueda! Teach me how to work a part-time job! I can't be an idol anymore!" The girl sent a kowtow emoticon.

"You're quitting the group again?" Matsueda Jun thought about it and felt that this was a good thing. She could stay at home and cook.

"No, I'll come find you after school, we'll talk when we meet!"

So after school, Matsueda Jun walked out of the school gate and saw the girl sitting behind the glass window of the dessert shop.

Kurusu Yoshi was still wearing the clothes he wore when he was an idol, a modern-style light blue and white kimono, with white lace rabbit ears on his head, and he was sipping the drink on the table.

The exquisite girl sat silently behind the glass window, like a doll in a shop window, and everyone who passed by had to take a look at her before leaving.

When Jun Matsueda walked into the store, the girl immediately stood up and waved to him vigorously, smiling like a big golden retriever.

"Pine branches!"

So the people who were peeking at her were filled with regret, it seemed that the doll girl in the window had found her owner.

Chapter 90 Natural Killer

Jun Matsueda looked at Kurusu Yoshi who was sitting opposite him. The girl sighed every time she took a sip of her drink, giving people the illusion that she was inhaling a cigarette instead of matcha milk.

"So what did you do wrong again?" He watched the matcha in the milk being stirred by the straw, swirling and floating.

"I did a good thing this time!" Lai Qi Yangshi raised his head and looked at him indignantly, and the white rabbit ears on his head shook twice.

"During yesterday's performance, someone from the troupe next door was being sarcastic towards us at the end, so I went on stage early and started arguing with her." The girl said this and took a deep sip of matcha milk, her originally rosy lips now stained with a hint of grass color.

It turned out to be a performance accident... Jun Matsueda had seen it before. Although the agency is most afraid of this kind of thing, the audience loves to watch this kind of thing.

Who doesn’t like watching women quarrel?

"Because that group is bigger than us, their fans flocked to our official account. After researching the situation, the management team decided to apologize and asked me to suspend my activities for a period of time starting today. Only then did they manage to mitigate the negative impact."

"So that's why you came to me to ask about a part-time job?" Matsueda Jun glanced out the window. Their position was too conspicuous. Normally, passersby would take a quick look and leave, but after Matsueda Jun sat down, they only took a few glances before leaving.

Kurusu Yoshi nodded, swirled his tongue around his lips, and licked off the green foam.

This guy has a pretty good tongue, Matsueda Jun thought wildly, "You're not a rookie idol, how could you cause a performance accident?"

"Because I don't want to endure it!" The girl said confidently, "There's no need for Kurusu's idols to have any personalities. If you like them, you like them. If you hate them, you hate them. Just show off your personality!"

Was this also what her mother taught her? Matsueda Jun felt the need to correct her thinking.

"So you've been suspended from idol activities now. Sometimes being willful doesn't do any good." Matsueda Jun's principles of doing things are exactly the opposite of Kurusu's.

"No, no, no!" The girl shook her head so quickly that her rabbit ears were about to fly off and drooped sideways on her head.

"On the contrary! There are actually a lot of benefits!"

"I'm an idol with a lot of energy. After the fan uploaded the video of our quarrel last night, it received much more views than my previous performance videos. The comments were all saying that I have a lot of backbone."

"If you search '下克上' on YouTube now, our video will be the first one to appear! Our group account has gained a lot of attention, and many of them are just casual fans of mine!"

Jun Matsueda took out his phone and searched. It was quite popular, with tens of thousands of views already, and the comments were all saying how great it was.

The girl felt that the rabbit ears on her head were crooked, so she adjusted them casually, and the rabbit ears tilted to the other side.

"Also, this is a good opportunity to see the personalities of the other members of the group. Berry-chan, who pleaded with the company and even spoke on my behalf with her trumpet, is a good girl who appears to be as good as she is inside."

"The few who came to comfort me were pretty good people, but some only offered words of comfort and didn't really care about the matter at all. They were even thinking about how to steal my fans while I was away. I could tell!"

"Can you tell from this?" Matsueda Jun was very skeptical.

"Just look at their trumpets and you'll know." Kurusu Yangshi raised his eyebrows proudly, lowered his head and drank up the remaining matcha milk in one gulp.

"After posting the photos today, they immediately started imitating my makeup and business style. If they're not trying to steal my fans, what are they? Do they think the energetic look is so easy to imitate?"

The girl took two more sips of the drink, feeling unsatisfied. The straw made an empty sound, so she had to lick her lips with a sense of satisfaction.

"It only takes two weeks' wages to attract so much attention and quickly get to know the other members of the group. It's definitely a good deal!"

Jun Matsueda looked at the rabbit ears swaying on the girl's head and thought carefully. It seemed that he really had no way to refute her.

Is she actually a marketing genius?

"You had thought all this before you went on stage to argue with her last night?"

Kurusu Yoshi shook his head, and the rabbit ears finally fell off and landed on the table.

"I'm just annoyed with that guy who debuted earlier and is so arrogant." The girl crossed her arms and breathed out through her nostrils.

This is Laiqi Yangshi, how could he be so scheming? Matsueda Jun withdrew his thoughts.

"Go home, aren't you going to work? I'll pass on all my experience as a working emperor to you."

When he was about to leave, an uninvited guest walked into the beverage store.

"I didn't expect to see Matsueda-kun here!" The persistent senior Asai came over skipping and jumping.

Just as she was about to sit down next to Matsueda Jun, Kurusu Yoshi quickly stood up and sat next to him.

The senior could only sit down awkwardly across from the two of them, "Is this Matsueda-kun's friend? You two seem to have a good relationship."

Jun Matsueda nodded, and Kurusu Yoshi brought the empty cup and rabbit ears in front of him.

These were all hers, and she would not give the woman in front of her any chance to touch them.

"Mr. Matsueda, are you free this weekend? I still want to go out and play with you." The senior student looked at him pitifully.

"Sorry, senior, I have to work this weekend and don't have much time to go out." Jun Matsueda refused without hesitation.

Kurusu Yoshi's eyes shifted between the two of them, and he suddenly spoke to Asai-senpai.

"Do you like him?"

The noise in the store suddenly became quieter, and the customers all looked over here secretly.

The senior student didn't expect that someone would ask such a question directly in public. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"I guess I have a crush on you~" She tried to smile.

"Then it's better for you to give up earlier. You have no chance with me here." Kurusu Yangshi put on the rabbit ears again and said bluntly.

"I'm taller than you, have a better figure than you, and a prettier face than you. My relationship with Songeda is much better than yours. He'll come out whenever I need him, and we spend more time together than you do."

The senior sister's smile is not so pretty anymore.

"Even if Songzhi only sees me as a friend, how could he be attracted to you when I'm here? It's better not to waste time and find another boy quickly~"

After Kurusu Yoshi finished speaking, he pinched the rabbit ears on his head with both hands and waved to the girl sitting opposite them, with an extremely sincere expression on his face.

The smile on Asai-senpai's face disappeared and she looked at Matsueda Jun.
