Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Matsueda-san's words should give others hope, right?" Yamami Maki said without hesitation, "Because you are a very good person."

Matsueda Jun didn't expect to receive the good guy card from the senior. He looked at the crows circling in the sky in the distance and said, "Actually, I hate making this choice."

“No matter what you choose, it will take a long time to know whether it is right or wrong.”

"Matsueda-kun, don't think like that. Maybe there's no right or wrong at all." Yamami Moki moved slightly closer to him. "Many choices aren't right or wrong, high or low. We're simply heading towards a future of our own choosing."

"Senior is worthy of being a senior." Matsueda Jun turned around and smiled at the girl. "Don't worry, Yamami-senpai. I'm not obsessed with anything and don't need any guidance. Thank you for your concern."

"That's good." Yamami Moji didn't know what to do, so she just smoothed her hair. "The weather isn't very good today. It might rain this afternoon."

Matsueda Jun nodded, "It seems like a typhoon is coming."

Yamami Moki returned to the classroom and looked out the window again. The sky, as clear as rice water, became turbid and the clouds were stirred by something.

She originally wanted to ask Matsueda Jun whether the person he gave hope to was her junior, Tomatsu Tomoka.

Yamami Moki didn't know why she wanted to ask this. There was no point in asking it. She had always been good at controlling her curiosity.

The bad weather today must have affected my mood, the girl thought resentfully, and she looked back at the exercise book on the table.

Although the weather station had issued a typhoon warning, the sports clubs at Haneda High School had no plans to cancel their training. So after school, Jun Matsueda sat by the basketball court in the gymnasium, listening to the clatter of sneakers scraping against the floor.

He waited until the sky became really dark before leaving the gymnasium with Tsushima Kou.

"Isn't it boring to watch a group of boys sweating?" Tsushima Kou asked him with a smile.

"It's alright." It was indeed quite boring, but Matsueda Jun could see the women's basketball team and Natsumi Imokawa on the other side. Watching the girls diligently filming from afar was somewhat entertaining.

"Be careful on the road, it's going to rain soon." Tsushima Kou waved to the boy who was riding a bicycle.

No matter how fast he rode, Jun Matsueda could not catch up with the speed of the rain line.

"Isn't this rain a bit too much..." Jun Matsueda hid under the eaves on the roadside, with his bicycle next to him.

The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if everyone in the city had lost their sense of public morality and was constantly pouring water downstairs with basins.

The water waves on the ground had already licked the tips of Jun Matsueda's shoes.

"Let's just go ahead." It was impossible to ride the bike, so Jun Matsueda pushed it into the pouring rain.

In the apartment on the other side, Lai Qi Yang Shi walked out of the room with a frown, and stood in the corridor watching the rain curtain in a line hit the crown of the trees beside the building, knocking down countless leaves.

"Can the pine branches come back in such heavy rain?"

Chapter 99: Typhoon Holiday and Missed Calls

The world is a vast expanse of white.

Jun Matsueda felt like he was walking into a waterfall as he pushed his cart along the sidewalk. The wind blew up all sorts of plastic, and they stumbled along in the heavy rain.

He could only walk with his head down, otherwise the feeling of the rain hitting his face would be uncomfortable. Fortunately, the school was not far from the apartment, and it should be about one kilometer away.

When a pair of legs appeared in front of him, Matsueda Jun stopped. The person he met in this kind of weather was definitely not a normal person, so he raised his head cautiously.

Just don't call her some slit-mouthed lady, Yashaku-sama Sadako.

Kurusu Yoshi's wet hair was draped in front of her body. She was holding an umbrella, and she looked somewhat like the female ghost that Matsueda Jun was expecting.

"Did you come out to find me?" Matsueda Jun was a little surprised.

The girl waved her other umbrella, "Come to the Yang World, the hero is here!"

A strong wind blew, and her open umbrella flipped up. The girl was carried and slid two steps. Her melodious screams were drowned out by the typhoon.

Jun Matsueda could only let go of the car handle and help her control the disorderly umbrella.

"Put away the umbrella," Matsueda Jun sighed, rain running into the corners of his mouth. "What's the point of holding an umbrella in this weather?"

"No!" The girl shook her head vigorously, splashing the water on her hair into his face. "Then my trip here is meaningless!"

At least I knew someone was very worried about me. Jun Matsueda wiped the water droplets off his face and didn't say this out loud.

I always feel that saying this to Kurusu Yoshi means he has lost.

So it was no longer a single person walking in the waterfall. Matsueda Jun continued to push the cart, while Kurusu Yoshi walked beside him, holding the umbrella, which was better than nothing, to shelter them from the wind and rain.

As they walked, Matsueda Jun stopped again, and the girl looked at him in confusion.

He took off his school uniform jacket and put it on Kurusu Yoshi. The girl only put on a white long-sleeved shirt and went out. At this time, the long sleeves were completely wet, and Matsueda Jun could even see the style of her bra clearly.

"Matsueda Songeda, you're exposed." The girl pointed at his translucent white shirt happily, but Matsueda Jun pretended not to hear.

The two continued walking, and Lai Qi Yang Shi pulled at his wet collar and said, "It's so uncomfortable to wear two wet clothes."

"So do you want you to see me exposed, or do you want me to see you exposed?"

Jun Matsueda pretended to take the coat back, but the girl immediately shrank back, clutched the coat tightly, and stopped talking.

When the two of them passed by a supermarket, Lai Qi Yang Shi stopped and said, "Should we buy groceries for tomorrow? What if the weather is still like this tomorrow?"

"Go quickly, I'll wait for you at the door." He was not interested in going into the supermarket and being watched by others.

Kurusu Yoshi slipped into the supermarket like a drowned dog, and when she came out she was carrying a large bag of food. She found Matsueda Jun in the corner of the supermarket's door eaves.

He squatted in the corner with his back against the wall, water dripping from his clothes, his left hand placed horizontally on his legs, and his right hand held upright in front of him, as if holding a cigarette.

The half-covered shirt was soaked, and the flesh color on the chest and waist could be seen. Matsueda Jun brushed his bangs back with his left hand, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead. He looked at the heavy rain outside the eaves indifferently.

Hearing the girl's footsteps, he turned his head and looked at her with wet eyes, with a hint of ambiguous melancholy.

Lai Qi Yang Shi swallowed unconsciously, "Songzhi, you are really tempting now."

If someone wants to shoot a scene of a beautiful boy in the rain in the future, she can only say that there is no other choice but Jun Matsueda.

"Let's go quickly after buying the vegetables, otherwise it will rain again." Jun Matsueda ignored the girl's words, stood up and shook off the water on his body.

Lai Qi Yang Shi felt regretful. She should have taken a picture of what happened with her cell phone.

The wind and rain have subsided a little, at least I don’t have to walk with my head down.

"Don't hold an umbrella for me, just protect the food in your arms."

The girl nodded and did as she was told. She also felt that the ingredients were more important than Matsueda Jun, but she had never been able to bring it up.

After a difficult ten-minute trek, the two finally returned to the downstairs of the apartment building, leaving two lines of water stains on the stairs.

Matsueda Jun took out the key and pushed open the iron door. "Go take a shower first."

Kurusu Yoshi immediately took off his coat and went back to his room to get a change of clothes. A black lace dress beneath a white long-sleeved shirt floated before him through the living room, into the bedroom, and out of the bedroom all the way to the bathroom.

"This woman..."

"I feel alive again—" After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the sofa.

"What are we having for dinner?" Jun Matsueda was already hungry.

"Sukiyaki, maybe? I want something hot with soup."

Kurusu Yoshi ran to the kitchen and fiddled with the sauce for a while, then brought the ingredients and induction cooker to the table in front of the TV.

"How about eating while watching TV?"

As long as Jun Matsueda can have food to eat, nothing else matters.

The girl beat the raw eggs, put green onions in the pan, poured the sauce on them, fried two slices of beef, rinsed them with the egg liquid, and put them into his bowl.

Matsueda Jun was enjoying his meal. "Kurisu, why don't you become a chef? You might make more money than being an idol."

She shook her head as she added vegetables to the pot. "No way! I'm destined to be an idol!"

"Shiitake mushrooms, baby cabbage, carrots, tofu..." Lai Qi Yangshi counted the ingredients and put konjac shreds and beef on both sides of the pot, otherwise the konjac would make the meat hard.

The girl finally poured the broth and sukiyaki sauce on it, covered the pot and started to simmer.

There was a bright yellow lamp above their heads. They sat on the sofa, hugged the pillows, watched TV, listened to the wind and rain outside the window and the gurgling sound in the iron pot, and felt that their bodies had warmed up in advance.

Lai Qi Yangshi opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of meat and the sweetness of vegetables rose with the heat. Both of them did not speak, but quietly picked up the vegetables and meat, chewed the konjac shreds and tofu, and ate with rice, making their mouths water.

"It feels great." This is how I express myself concisely after eating and drinking my fill.

Kurusu Yoshi continued to lie on the sofa, and Matsueda Jun reluctantly got up to wash the dishes.

After returning to the living room, he announced the good news.

"The school has informed us that classes tomorrow are cancelled due to the weather."

Jun Matsueda had just opened his phone. Besides the school notifications, he also had messages from Mochizuki and Tomatsu. Both knew he was a cyclist and asked if he had made it home safely.

"Tomorrow's part-time job is also cancelled!" The girl lying on the sofa exclaimed in surprise.

It looks like the two of them will be staying in the apartment all day tomorrow.

Even on weekends, Jun Matsueda usually goes out to work, so this seems to be the first time he and Kurusu Yoshi have to stay in the apartment for so long.

The heavy rain softened the will of the working emperor. Matsueda Jun didn't want to do anything tonight, so he chose to watch TV with Kurusu Yoshi.

The girl pressed the remote control and switched the screen to the evening news. The beautiful female host was reporting the news of the typhoon landing.

Matsueda Jun stared at the host for a long time, and Kurusu Yoshi kicked him with his bare foot, "Is this host better looking than me?"

He shook his head, "Do you know the name of this host?"

"Imokawa Reimi, she's quite famous, a beautiful anchor for Fuji TV and used to be a reporter."

As expected... Jun Matsueda looked at the face reporting the news on the screen. From the shape of the mouth, eyebrows, eyes and nose, they all had similarities with Natsumi Imokawa.

Tsushima-senpai seemed to have mentioned before that Imokawa's mother was a reporter?

Kurusu Yoshi angrily switched to Tokyo TV, and sure enough, the news was not being broadcast. It seemed to be a restaurant exploration program, with two celebrities slurping down fried noodles that looked super spicy.

Friday night passed meaninglessly. Jun Matsueda changed to a thicker quilt tonight, marking that his season had officially entered autumn.

When he woke up the next day, he picked up the phone on the bedside table. The lock screen was full of missed calls and messages from Mochizuki Haruka from one to four in the morning.

Jun Matsueda opened the message and took a look. There were many words at the beginning, but only one line of words remained at the end.

My aunt's symptoms worsened.

Chapter 100: This World is Full of Death

“Get up.”

Jun Matsueda was lying in bed, replying to the bombardment of messages and calls from Haruka Mochizuki with these three words.

I put down my phone and looked at the ceiling, which I had become accustomed to. There seemed to be a few more black spots than before.

"Could it be mold or something?"

I lifted the quilt, put on my clothes, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up. The guy in the other room was still sleeping.

Just as Jun Matsueda started brushing his molars for the second time, his cell phone rang.

He continued brushing his teeth with his right hand and answered the call from Mochizuki Haruka with his left hand.

"I'm in the hospital with my aunt now." He heard the sound of equipment coming from the other end of the phone, as well as the sound of Mochizuki Haruka's breathing, which was trying to remain calm. "I didn't mean to ask you to come over. I just wanted to tell you something."

"Wait a minute," Matsueda Jun said vaguely, then rinsed his mouth and spit out the foam. "I was brushing my teeth and saw your message when I woke up."

He glanced out the window and saw it was still pouring rain, so he decided not to go out today.

"I know. I didn't think you would answer the phone."

Wang Yueyao looked out the hospital window and saw the wind and rain.

Just calling you makes me feel more at ease.

Jun Matsueda put his cell phone on the table and continued washing his face. Haruka Mochizuki didn't say anything either. She stood by the window, facing the doomsday scene outside. The sound of running water on the phone drowned out the sound of rain.

After he dried his face, the person on the phone continued talking: "The doctor said that based on the current examination results and clinical manifestations, Auntie's awake time will become less and less, and the intervals between awakenings will also become longer."

"In the end, you might never wake up again."

Jun Matsueda walked into the kitchen. There were still some ingredients and seasonings left from last night's Sukiyaki, and he planned to cook noodles.

"Pine branches."

"Hmm?" he replied.

"I won't give up. Even if I can only keep my aunt alive, it doesn't matter. I will never let her die."

"I didn't expect watching a few movies to change your mind." He put the noodles into the pot. "There's no need to stop you from saving your aunt."

"But I'm calmer than I thought." The girl put her face close to the window and observed her expression. "Thank you for that."

The remaining baby cabbage, mushrooms, and blanched meat were thrown into the pot and drizzled with sauce. "Have you had breakfast?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, "Not yet."
