Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Stop!" When they were almost at the apartment, Mochizuki Yao shouted loudly in the wind.

"What's wrong?" Jun Matsueda, who was riding in front, stopped his bike and looked back at her.

"Why do you always speed up and pass me every time I'm alongside you?!"

Mochizuki Haruka asked angrily. Tears appeared in the corners of the girl's eyes and she couldn't help but sniffling. She looked both embarrassed and aggrieved.

In order to walk side by side with Jun Matsueda, she rode very hard along the way, and her back was soaked with sweat.

"I'm just trying to keep the wind off you..." Matsueda Jun said helplessly, "You don't even wear gloves, your clothes are so baggy, and you keep looking up into the wind while riding your bike. If I don't block it for you, you'll cry so much that you won't even be able to see the road clearly."

"Oh? Oh..." After hearing his explanation, the grievance in the girl's heart immediately disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sweet feeling exploding, leaving behind a huge pink mushroom cloud.

"Just follow me obediently, got it?"

"understood."

Walking in the stairwell of the apartment, Mochizuki Haruka wiped away her tears and snot, looked at the back of Matsueda Jun walking in front of her, and took out her notebook.

"19. Songzhi doesn't hate riding his bike after school with him."

"20. Songzhi likes to take care of people."

Next to the twentieth note, the girl drew a heart with a black pen.

Chapter 160: Determination to Tame

"Matsueda, I'm going to be on TV!"

At dinner time, Kurusu Yoshi said excitedly at the dining table for three people.

Mochizuki Haruka was still eating with her head down, and Matsueda Jun only raised his head after swallowing the scrambled egg in his mouth.

"When did you debut?" The girl had never told him this.

"I haven't debuted yet!" Kurusu Yoshi shook his head, holding the spoon in his mouth. "After this TV show, I will officially debut."

"It seems that this program is very unusual?" Matsueda Jun calculated that it has only been a month since she left the group.

"Of course~" Kurusu nodded, picked up the remote control on the table and changed the channel on the TV, "It's this show!"

Jun Matsueda turned his head to look at the TV, and a big logo appeared on the screen: "The Birth of Idols Theory".

"This looks like a PK type of variety show?" He took a closer look and chose to continue eating.

"Simply put, it's a stage for all kinds of artists who are making their solo debuts. Usually, singers or idols participate, and it's jointly organized by various agencies and management companies. It's very popular!"

Looking at the excited girl in front of him, Matsueda Jun put down his chopsticks and applauded her. Mochizuki Haruka on the side glanced at him, put down her chopsticks and applauded as well.

After a brief celebration, dinner time continued. "Why does it feel like the quality of ingredients has been so good lately? Even the vegetables are so fresh." asked Jun Matsueda.

Their previous criteria for purchasing ingredients was to prioritize cheapness, but these past few days, when Jun Matsueda entered the kitchen, he no longer saw any rotten leaves picked from the trash can.

"Mochizuki bought all the food these days." Kurusu Yoshi bowed in Mochizuki Haruka's direction. "She said she was eating at 507, so it's my duty to provide her with food."

"Is that so..." Jun Matsueda looked at the girl beside him. Haruka Mochizuki lowered her head and ate without saying a word.

After Matsueda Jun's gaze moved away, the girl looked up and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Mochizuki Haruka has been concentrating on recording Matsueda Jun's eating habits recently. Although he eats everything, he always has preferences for food.

She looked down at the boy's chopsticks picking up a piece of salmon. "He picks up salmon the most often, so he likes meat more," the girl thought.

I wonder what kind of fish he likes best? Boneless or boneless? Next time, I'll try buying saury. Maybe he'll reach for his chopsticks more often...

Love the shredded cabbage.

I don't like burdock and have hardly ever eaten it.

I like scrambled eggs. This time I ate more scrambled eggs than before. The method of making them is obviously the same as in Laiqi Yangshi. What's the reason?

"By the way, today's scrambled eggs seem to be particularly fragrant. Is it another secret recipe of the Kurusu family?" Matsueda Jun scooped another spoonful of scrambled eggs.

Kurusu winked at him, "The butter and milk we used this time are both from Hokkaido~"

"I see."

Mochizuki Haruka repeated Matsueda Jun's words in her mind, and she wrote down all these preferences in her notebook.

Kurusu Yoshi put his face in front of her and said, "Mochizuki, how about we get a cow from Hokkaido? You see, Matsueda likes it too."

"Ignore her."

Matsueda Jun pushed the girl back into her chair and said, "Eat your meal well and stop thinking about Hokkaido."

I don’t think it’s impossible... Mochizuki Yao looked at the golden scrambled eggs in the bowl and thought deeply.

Before bedtime, Matsueda Jun once again sat beside Mochizuki Haruka's bed.

"Where were we talking about before?"

"The little prince passed by a garden."

"Well...it's the fox's turn then."

"Fox?" Mochizuki Yao, who was wearing thin pajamas, hugged the quilt and looked at him quietly.

Matsueda Jun cleared his throat and said, "At this time, a fox appeared."

"'Who are you?' asked the little prince. 'You look so handsome.'"

"I'm a fox." Jun Matsueda said softly, trying to imitate the voice of a fox.

The girl immediately laughed, and for the first time in a long time, he saw the clear blue in her eyes again. It was the water of Lake Akan, where cranes lived and reflected the wavy clouds in the sky.

"'Come and play with me,' the little prince suggested. 'I am very sad.'"

“‘I cannot play with you,’ answered the fox, ‘for I am not yet tamed.’”

"Taming? What does taming mean?" Mochizuki Haruka let go of the quilt she was holding. An inexplicable impulse drove her to ask the question that originally belonged to the little prince.

"This is something that people often forget," said Jun Matsueda, speaking for the fox. "It means 'building relationships.'"

"Establish a relationship?" Mochizuki Haruka moved a little closer to him.

"That's right," Matsueda continued, "to me, you're just a little boy."

"Just like a million other little boys."

"I don't need you, and you don't need me. To you, I'm just a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes."

The girl clutched the quilt beneath her.

"But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in the universe, and to you, I shall be unique in the world."

"Then what should I do?" Mochizuki Haruka asked anxiously.

“It takes a lot of patience.”

"First, you have to sit a little further away from me, like that, on the grass over there."

The girl leaned towards the head of the bed.

"I'll glance at you out of the corner of my eye. Don't say anything then. Words can lead to misunderstandings."

"Then you can get closer to me day by day."

"It would be better if you could come at the same time every day, for example, at 4 pm."

"Then from three o'clock on, I begin to feel very happy, and as the time approaches, I feel happier and happier."

“By four o’clock, I’m restless because I’ve discovered the value of happiness.”

Mochizuki Haruka suddenly realized why Matsueda Jun usually left school at around five o'clock, and why she would push her bicycle at four o'clock and wait silently in the alley where she could see the school gate.

"So it was you who tamed me..." the girl said softly.

As soon as Mochizuki Haruka said this, Matsueda Jun shut up. It was not appropriate to continue telling tonight's story.

After saying good night, he closed the bedroom door.

The girl lay in bed in a daze for a while. She turned on the light and crawled to the bedside table. There were two books there, one was her notebook and the other was "The Little Prince" bought in Otaru.

She opened the book "The Little Prince" and looked for the part that Jun Matsueda had omitted.

Please tame me! The fox said to the little prince...

The little prince said goodbye to the fox.

The little prince said to the roses in the garden.

"People passing by might think my rose looks like yours, but just one of her is worth more than all of you, because she is the rose I watered; she is the rose I placed under the glass dome, where I protected her from the wind and killed caterpillars for her; because she is the rose I am willing to listen to when she complains, brags, or even remains silent."

"Because, she is my rose." The girl leaned against the head of the bed and cried.

"I don't want to be a fox, I want to be a rose..." Mochizuki Haruka kept repeating this sentence before going to bed.

The girl decided to tame Matsueda Jun.

Chapter 161: Observation Records on Jun Matsueda

Jun Matsueda felt that Haruka Mochizuki had become a little strange recently.

Of course, it’s not that she has become bad, but she is a little too good.

No more crying, making a fuss, or being willful, no longer being unresponsive like a puppet.

I would ride my bike with him after school and buy groceries for the three of them.

Although this dish was only brought by the maid.

Yesterday, while riding his bike, a girl wearing a scarf asked him if he wanted to buy some more clothes before Tokyo got completely cold.

Feeling like watching his daughter grow up, Jun Matsueda looked at the English teacher at the podium with loving eyes.

"Matsueda-san, why were you looking at me so strangely during class?"

After class, Kominato Shoko asked Matsueda Jun who was walking beside her.

“I just experienced what it’s like to watch a child grow up.”

"What does that have to do with me, the teacher?" Xiaominato Shengzi, who looked no different from a high school student without her uniform, stared at him.

"Come to think of it, teacher, I seem to have grown one centimeter taller recently. Maybe it's because I drank too much milk in Hokkaido." She said with her chest puffed out.

"No, no, no, the cows in Hokkaido are really not that powerful."

After returning from the office, Jun Matsueda posted the final exam schedule on the class bulletin board. When he returned to his seat, everyone gathered in front of the bulletin board.

It was Saturday noon, and it was already time to go home from school. They all stayed in the classroom to wait for the exams scheduled two weeks later.

After Matsueda Jun packed his schoolbag, Tomatsu Tomoka walked out of the classroom with him. The road leading to the school gate was covered with fallen leaves, as if the school had deliberately not arranged to clean it.

"Matsueda-san, the Christmas arrangements you mentioned last time may conflict with the winter trials." The girl said softly, holding her bag in both hands.

The schedule for the Winter Selection has been announced. The first round of competition will start on the 23rd and will last until the 29th.

The passing wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, and red and yellow waves rose at the feet of the two people. The students walking on the road made surprised sounds.

"Mochizuki's aunt had promised her to go to Tokyo Tower. Now that her aunt is sick, I guess she still wants to go to Tokyo Tower."

Going at night won't affect the game, and it's not certain whether Yuqiu can advance to the second round.

The wind was a little stronger. Jun Matsueda looked towards the school gate among the flying leaves and seemed to see a girl pushing a bicycle.

"Tokyo Tower on Christmas Eve will feel very romantic." Tomatsu Tomoka's tone was very natural, like an ordinary friend.

"Don't beat around the bush to remind me." Matsueda Jun glanced at her, "I know what I'm doing."

"The fallen leaves left on the road by the school are particularly beautiful. I have seen many people taking pictures here these days." The girl smiled and changed the subject, feeling relieved.

It’s good that I don’t have feelings for Haruka Mochizuki.

Jun Matsueda walked towards the bicycle shed, and Tomoka Tomatsu walked to the school gate alone. She looked at the girl who was waiting in the alley with her bicycle.

Mochizuki Haruka didn't pay attention to her gaze. The girl looked at the school gate, and there was only Matsueda Jun in her eyes.

"Have you prepared a Christmas present for him?" Tomatsu Tomoka walked to the girl and watched Matsueda Jun walk out of the school gate with her.

Mochizuki Haruka nodded. "Gloves, for cycling."

Haruka Mochizuki pushed the cart out of the alley, and Tomoka Tomatsu watched her walk towards the boys leaving the school gate.

When will she be able to resume her relationship with Matsueda where they give each other gifts?

This year's Christmas will be spent alone. In order to suppress her inner loss, Tomatsu Tomoka can only look forward to next winter.

Because it was noon, the wind on the road was not as strong as it was in the evening when school was over. Mochizuki Haruka and Matsueda Jun walked side by side.
