Am I being simulated by their love affair?

Page 458

However, that's different from a hickey.

The hickey was intentional.

It is conquest, possession, proof of love, and a mark of belonging.

Mochizuki Haruka liked to leave her mark when she was aroused. She had even curled up in a boy's arms on the bed afterward and asked him why he didn't do that.

"Because Mochizuki is a pampered young lady," Jun Matsue said gently as he stroked the girl's moist, smooth skin.

"A bad kiss can be dangerous, and I just love how flawless your skin looks."

Although he may have said it out of love and care, now that he sees the traces of desire on Tomatsu Tomoka, all Mochizuki Haruka can feel is resentment, loss, and jealousy.

She thought her indifference could sway Songzhi's heart, but the boy was already having fun in someone else's bed...

The girl looked up at the buildings in front of the avenue, where groups of students were going in and out of the cafeteria.

The pine branch is right there.

She needs an explanation.

The boys from Class 6, Grade 3 walked out of the cafeteria. They were among the first to arrive. While others were still queuing at the windows to grab popular food, they were already sitting at the tables, enjoying their meals.

Jun Matsue walked behind the boys' group. He didn't have lunch with Yuka Tomatsu—the girl didn't feel like moving around today and had asked him to bring her lunch.

Turn right after exiting the gate and step onto the wide campus avenue. The boy looked down at the messages on his phone until Ken Sakamuro next to him stopped and nudged his arm.

"Pine branches..."

Jun Matsue looked up and quickly noticed the girl standing in the shade of a tree by the roadside.

Mochizuki Haruka was carrying a small bag containing her gym uniform, as if she had just come out of the locker room. Her shoulders rose and fell with her breath, and her cold, aloof expression was hidden in the shadow of her bangs, making her look unhappy.

“She was walking very fast just now, but she stopped as soon as she saw you…” Ken Sakamuro whispered to him.

“…I understand.” Jun Matsue nodded and handed him the plastic bag in his hand.

"Sakamuro, could you please take this rice ball to Yuka and tell her I'll be back late?"

The boy sent the same message on his phone before walking toward the roadside.

The girl who had stopped didn't move; she simply stood there, expressionless, watching Matsueda Jun walk towards her.

She's really angry... The boy thought to himself, stopping in front of her and gently bending down to ask.

"Did Tomatsu make you angry? Or did I do something wrong?"

Mochizuki Haruka didn't say anything, but simply lowered her head and walked straight past him with a sullen face.

Like a cold wind blowing by, Jun Matsue stepped aside and watched her walk in the opposite direction from the cafeteria.

Without thinking twice, the boy quickly followed. The girl paused for a moment, then quickened her pace as if in a fit of pique.

Across from the cafeteria is an artificial lake located behind the auditorium and teaching area. Few students come here in the summer because of the mosquitoes. Even now, in autumn, few people linger around during lunchtime.

The two walked around most of the shady area. Matsueda Jun did not rush to catch up with the girl, but watched her hurried back.

Mochizuki was clearly furious; even the way she swung her arms back and forth was stiff and unusually forceful.

This chase allowed her to vent her frustrations and buy herself some time to think.

Mochizuki Haruka finally stopped by the lake—the statue of Ms. Mochizuki Hana was not far away, somewhat dazzling in the sunlight.

"So what's Mochizuki angry about?" the boy asked, walking up behind her.

"If you don't tell me, how will I have a chance to change it?"

"...How do I change it?" The girl finally turned around, her face still as cold as ice.

"Can you change it?!"

She called out loudly, and birds fluttered their wings in the woods by the lake, leaving a rustling sound in the leaves.

Before Matsueda Jun could speak, the girl took two steps forward, her words almost touching him.

"I'm asking you, did you sleep with Tomatsu Tomoka?"

So that's what happened... The boy sighed inwardly.

There's no point in thinking about it anymore—no matter how you try to explain it, the facts are there and undeniable.

Faced with the girl's barely suppressed anger, Jun Matsue nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Upon hearing the boy admit it himself, Mochizuki Haruka's anger subsided, and she gave a cold laugh.

"I saw the hickeys on Tomatsu Yuka's body. You guys had a lot of fun."

The air by the lake was thick with sarcasm. Jun Matsue blinked but remained silent.

There's no room for explanation when it comes to love between men and women, and he felt somewhat helpless.

Seeing his acquiescing attitude, the girl's jealousy began to flare up and burn fiercely.

Mochizuki Haruka clenched her fists. "What maid outfit and nude apron? Isn't it much prettier than my swimsuit?"

"And oral sex—her mouth feels good, hmm?"

"She's much better at it than I am, isn't she?!"

The girl's voice grew louder, and she slammed into the boy's chest, her own body swaying first.

"That's not true." Jun Matsue took her arm.

“You don’t need to compare yourself to Tomatsu in this kind of thing,” the boy said softly. “She did it because she liked it.”

“Of course, Mochizuki is very charming.” He stroked the girl’s long, soft hair on her back with one hand.

"It's because you're so charming that I can't get you out of my mind and want to swallow my pride and win you back."

"Your self-confidence, your adorable arrogance, your profile illuminated by the afternoon sun by the window... I love everything about you."

Mochizuki Haruka remained still in the boy's arms for a moment before breaking free of his embrace.

“Sweet talk.” She uttered coldly, “I think Tomatsu Yuka could steal your soul just by lifting her leg in bed.”

"..." Matsueda Jun looked at her helplessly.

It's unclear what Tomatsu actually said to her, but it seems Mochizuki is still holding a grudge.

"No, that's not true. I even dreamed about you a few days ago."

"You're lying!" Mochizuki Haruka raised an eyebrow. "If you really dreamed about me, you would have told me already!"

The boy whispered in her ear.

"It's that kind of dream."

"..." The girl blushed and took a step back.

She turned her head to look at the lakeside, and it took her two seconds to regain her anger before continuing to speak.

When was the first time you slept with her?

The girl's tone turned cold again, and Jun Matsue sighed inwardly.

The moment when you have to tell the truth is the hardest to bear.

"Two days before I returned to Mitaka during summer vacation."

"..." Mochizuki Haruka's face showed a look of surprise.

She thought that Tomatsu Yuka seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation after she and Matsueda started their cold war.

As a result, they had already done it before the summer vacation deadline.

The girl wasn't stupid; she certainly knew what this meant.

When Jun Matsueda returned to his apartment to announce his decision, he had already slept with Yuka Tomatsu, and it was definitely of his own free will.

So the pine branch is serious...

It was only then that Mochizuki Haruka realized that Matsueda Jun's attitude was serious and earnest.

It wasn't a momentary lapse of judgment, nor was it a test leaving room for maneuver.

Songzhi has already slept with other women, and given his personality, he would definitely take full responsibility.

So he really intended to have his cake and eat it too, and make this kind of life his norm for the rest of his life.

Mochizuki Haruka's eyes reddened. "...Are you serious?"

Jun Matsue took a deep breath and nodded silently.

"Don't you want to say anything?" The girl grabbed his arm.

"Explain yourself! Don't try to justify yourself with your sweet talk!"

“There’s no point in making excuses.” The boy shook his head. “I already did it with Tomatsu a long time ago.”

“It wasn’t her who seduced me or anything,” he continued. “I’ve thought it through very clearly, and I will take responsibility for her.”

“Of course, I will also take responsibility for you.” Jun Matsue gripped the girl’s arm.

"I want them all, it's that simple."

The lakeside meadow quieted down, and even the sounds of the wind and the ripples of the water could be clearly heard.

Mochizuki Haruka's shoulders trembled. She broke free from the boy's grip on her hand and ran behind him.

"Get out of here!" the girl said, her back trembling.

Matsueda Jun followed, but Mochizuki Haruka didn't deliberately leave her footprints like she had when she came. Instead, she ran at full speed and quickly disappeared behind the greenery.

This wasn't a good time to chase after him, so the boy slowed down and stopped by the lake.

"...Everything that needed to be said has been said," he told himself.

The sound of birds flapping their wings rang out again, and Jun Matsue turned around.

The startled starlings flew back and landed on the statue of Lady Mochizuki.

Looking at the lush grass by the lake, Jun Matsue sighed one last time before leaving.

The place where he first saw Wang Yue weep was also here.

Chapter 715 Parents Arrive at the Door, Demanding Replies

When Jun Matsue pushed open the back door of the classroom, most of the students were already seated, and it was quite noisy.

Summer has passed, the temperature has dropped, and the students have regained their boisterous energy. The boys avoid the group of hot girls who are coming out of the back door and sit down in their seats.

He first looked towards the window, and naturally there was no one there—the girl had lunch on her desk, brought to her by a friend, and the plastic bag containing rice balls and milk was being blown about by the wind outside the window, making a rustling sound.

Jun Matsue got up, went over and closed the window, glancing at the lunch on the table as he did so.

Tuna and okra rice balls and Meiji milk—the same lunch he brought to Tomatsu…

The boy returned to his seat, and Tomatsu Yuka, who was sitting next to him, wiped her lips and smiled as she struck up a conversation with him.

"The rice balls are delicious today, but there are a bit too many of them."

Jun Matsue tidied up the things on the table. "I feel like you don't eat enough, so I took an extra one."

The girl rubbed her stomach under her shirt. "Luckily, I have a pretty good appetite today~"

After confirming that the boy's emotions were relatively stable, she blinked and spoke somewhat cautiously.

"Tsun-kun is a little late? There wasn't enough time for your afternoon nap."

"Hmm." Jun Matsue stuffed his morning textbooks into his drawer. "I ran into Mochizuki, you probably already know that."

"Hmm..." Tomatsu Yuka leaned closer.

"After class, I went to help tidy up the equipment and waited until everyone had changed before going to the changing room."

"It was Mochizuki who somehow ran back. I didn't provoke her..."

The girl spoke very cautiously. This was the first possible emotional crisis since she and Tsunku officially started dating, and she had to face it carefully.

"I know." Matsueda Jun then turned to look at her.

“I don’t mean to blame you.” The boy smiled. “This kind of thing was bound to be known by Mochizuki sooner or later, it just happened a little suddenly today.”

Tomatsu Yuka breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders slumped.
