Am I being simulated by their love affair?

“He will break up with Mochizuki Haruka,” Tomatsu Yuka declared decisively. “After that, of course he will be with me.”

"..." Yamami Maki didn't say anything, she just took a sip of coffee.

Why does Matsueda seem like a toy, being fought over and taken away by them?

The cold, bitter liquid filled her mouth as she heard the girl in front of her suddenly ask a question.

"Does Senior want to see Jun-kun?"

"...Is that alright?" Yamami Maki looked up.

“Of course you can.” Tomatsu Yuka smiled kindly. “I’m not Mochizuki Haruka, I won’t stop Tsunkun from meeting other people.”

Not now, because she still needs her senior's help to deal with Mochizuki Haruka's troubles.

"...If Matsueda-kun is willing, I would certainly like to see him."

"Then next week it will be." The girl glanced at her phone. "Next week is the May Festival at the University of Tokyo. There will be a lot of people and it will be difficult for Mochizuki Haruka to keep an eye on everything."

Five days later, as Yamami Maki walked into the University of Tokyo campus, she finally saw the person she had been longing for in the crowded throng.

Jun Matsue stood in the deep shade of the ginkgo tree, leaning against the trunk with his head down. He only noticed the two girls when they walked up to him.

"...Why is Yamami-senpai here?"

Yamami Maki didn't speak, but just looked at him intently and eagerly.

The boy was wearing a mask, but his once clear eyes looked much darker. The bright and sparkling things in his eyes seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a heavy, tired gray.

"Why..." the girl's voice trembled, "Why did you become like this?"

Matsueda Jun silently looked into her eyes, then took off his mask, revealing a bitter smile.

"He only has himself to blame."

That afternoon, as Yamami Maki walked out of the University of Tokyo alone after wiping away her tears, she heard the news that famous singer Kurusu Yosei had announced his relationship and departure from his agency.

The girl then realized that the heavy vortex surrounding Jun Matsueda had only just begun to turn.

Chapter 668 A Simple Wish

On August 3rd, when Jun Matsue was carrying breakfast out of the kitchen, Yosei Kurusu swept past him like a gust of wind, snatching the sandwich from his plate.

"...Why the rush today?" He watched as the girl, all dressed up and ready to go, picked up a baseball cap from the coat rack with her other hand and walked out of the entrance hall.

"There's nothing I can do about it~" Yosuke Kurusu took a bite of his sandwich and mumbled, "My manager is waiting for me downstairs."

"Oh, I should say former manager!" She blinked. "There were still a lot of things to finish before terminating her contract with the company!"

Although she had to clean up her own mess, Kurusu Yosei's tone was anything but dejected—because her future had taken a turn for the better.

"I'll be going now~" the girl waved to him, "I should be able to come back for dinner!"

"See you tonight." The boy watched her close the door.

The old metal door seemed to jump in sync with the girl's energetic movements. Jun Matsueda shook his head helplessly, picked up the plate of breakfast, pushed open the door again, and walked towards the next room.

Yesterday, the very first day after Yosei Kurusu confirmed her move to YM Entertainment, the girl immediately contacted her former agency and subsequently announced her contract termination with JINIAS agency.

The controversy surrounding Masahiko Sakurai hasn't completely subsided, and the termination statement from one of the parties involved has undoubtedly stirred up another storm. However, none of this has anything to do with the idol girl—she's already eagerly cleaning her room and preparing to adapt to her "singer" identity.

Stepping into the dimly lit 506, Jun Matsue temporarily put aside the thoughts about Yosei Kurusu in his mind. He closed the door, placed the sandwich in his hand on the table, and quietly entered the girl's bedroom.

Ten seconds later, the boy led Mochizuki Haruka out of the room, the girl clinging to his chest like a sloth.

"Hey, it's time to get up, okay?" Jun Matsue put his arm around her waist and rocked the girl in his arms like a cradle.

"Didn't we agree to take Jinzhi for a medical check-up today?"

"Mmm..." Mochizuki Haruka, who was hanging on the boy, slightly opened her eyes.

"I need a kiss to wake up~"

"..." Jun Matsue looked helplessly at her fluttering eyelashes and pouting lips.

The cats curled up in their nests nearby woke up. Jinzhi stretched and gave them a disdainful look.

"You haven't even brushed your teeth, what's the point of kissing someone with such a smelly mouth?" he said jokingly.

The girl's eyes widened suddenly. "It doesn't smell bad at all!"

The boy had no choice but to lower his head and kiss her—she really didn't smell bad, and her skin was soft and tender, just not very moist.

Mochizuki Haruka then let go of his hand and landed silently on the ground like a cat. Matsueda Jun went into the bedroom to get her slippers, and the girl rubbed against his chest reluctantly before going into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, the two sat at the table. The boy watched as the girl cut the sandwich into small pieces and elegantly put them into her mouth. Golden Branch's tail swayed weakly at his feet—it had to have a check-up today and couldn't eat breakfast.

"Did Laiqi Yangshi go out again?" Mochizuki Haruka asked, sipping her milk.

Although the morning wake-up service was pleasant, the girl's vigilance remained undiminished.

"Hmm." Jun Matsueda glanced at the message on his phone. "She went to JINIAS. She should be able to finish the contract termination process today."

"So today is just the two of us?" Mochizuki Haruka blinked.

"You have all morning time." The boy nodded. "In the afternoon, I need to shoot the ending for the short film for Imokawa Natsumi."

The girl wrinkled her nose, put down her knife and fork, picked up the remaining sandwich, and stuffed it haphazardly into her mouth.

"Then let's hurry up and get out!"

After finishing breakfast, the two left the apartment. The young lady didn't plan to take the car today, so the two walked towards the nearby Kugayama Station.

"Why aren't you taking the car today?" Jun Matsue asked, holding up a parasol and looking at the girl beside him.

"Because I was driving too fast."

Wang Yueyao took his arm and said something counterintuitive in a matter-of-fact tone.

She stretched out her slender index finger and waved it back and forth quickly in front of her. "If you're driving, it'll be over in a flash and back in a flash. It doesn't feel like real life at all."

"Don't you think it's nice to walk together like this, Songzhi?"

Matsueda Jun looked at the girl blinking beside him, and the golden cat he was holding also meowed in response.

Although he had to hold an umbrella in his left hand, carry a cat in his right, and link his arm with a pampered young lady, well…

"Yes, a slow and leisurely pace is indeed quite nice."

As they entered the subway station, the boy folded his parasol, and the two of them immediately attracted the attention of the crowd as they passed through the entrance.

Today, Mochizuki Haruka is wearing a black sleeveless halter top, and her bare arms gleam with a fair and delicate sheen.

She wore a dark denim mini skirt, her long, slender legs encased in dark gray calf socks, and her buckled leather shoes gleamed. Combined with her aloof expression, she perfectly blended sweetness and indifference.

Jun Matsue wore the denim overalls that Mochizuki had given him, paired with a simple white T-shirt. His moderately long, tousled hair and clean, unadorned eyebrows and eyes created the perfect image of "summer" and "boyhood".

The cat in the boy's arms and the girl's affectionate gesture of linking arms with him made the two seem even more well-matched. The crowd in the subway station could only regretfully dispel their fantasies as they watched the eye-catching young couple board the tram.

Sitting down next to Jun Matsueda in the far corner of the long row of seats, Haruka Mochizuki nudged him with her elbow.

Everyone in the station is looking at you!

The boy smiled and said, "They're probably envious that I have such a beautiful girlfriend."

The girl naturally curled the corners of her lips, opened the cat carrier on her lap, and stuffed Jinzhi, who was snuggling happily in her boyfriend's arms, inside.

The pet hospital that Mochizuki Haruta visits is in Nakano Ward. It's an eight-minute train ride past Nishi-Ogikubo Station, where the Imokawa Studio is located.

As they walked out of Nakano Station, Jun Matsueda opened his parasol again. The girl in the shade returned the cat to him and took out her phone.

"There is a warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms."

The boy raised the brim of his umbrella and glanced at the sky above them—large, pure white cumulonimbus clouds swept across the sky, like stacked cotton candy or the gas flow from a volcanic eruption.

"When?"

"They said it would be evening." The girl put away her phone. "Is it still convenient for you to take photos today?"

"I'm not sure." Jun Matsue weighed the cat lying on his arm. "Let's go to the vet first, I'll ask Imokawa later."

The pet hospital was not far from the station. Walking into the bright and simple lobby, the boy sat down on the sofa next to Mochizuki Haruka. He looked around at the furnishings—this place was obviously designed for wealthy patrons. Although it was a pet hospital, it was much more stylish than some high-end private hospitals.

The young woman standing behind the front desk walked over on her own initiative, with a very friendly smile on her face.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Mochizuki, whom I made a reservation with?"

"Mmm." The girl holding the cat nodded demurely, showing no trace of the childish behavior she displayed when she was clinging to the boy on the street.

"Okay, please fill out the consultation form first."

The woman handed the board to a boy who was free. Jun Matsue instinctively wanted to take it, but Haruka Mochizuki reached out first.

The receptionist, who was adept at reading people, paused for a moment, then said, "There are mainly three parts: the owner's basic information, the pet's basic information and current status—you or your boyfriend's information is fine."

The girl's expression softened a little, and she handed the information board to the boy next to her, "Then Songzhi can fill it out."

A few minutes later, Jun Matsue walked into the examination room and watched as Haruka Mochizuki handed the lazy cat to the nurse, who then put a protective collar on it.

Looking at Jinzhi, who seemed to be wearing a megaphone, the boy smiled and asked, "What kind of tests does it need to have today?"

"Routine blood test, basic biochemistry test, cardiac examination, abdominal ultrasound..." the girl recited as if listing dishes, and sat down next to him.

"So many projects?" Jun Matsuoka checked the time; it was nine in the morning.

"I'll probably stay until lunchtime." Mochizuki Haruka placed her small hand over the boy's large hand, which was resting on the chair, and intertwined their fingers.

"Some projects won't have results until I get home."

"Hmm..." The boy looked at the rainstorm warning that popped up on his phone, "Then let me ask if they're still filming in Imokawa."

The girl nodded obediently, watching Matsueda Jun walk out of the clinic. The boy's tall figure flashed across the glass, and Mochizuki Haruka turned her head to follow until he disappeared around the corner.

"Miss Mochizuki and her boyfriend are very much in love~" the bespectacled nurse said with a smile, as if she hadn't heard the soft cries of the cat being drawn blood under her.

“Of course,” she said, raising her chin proudly. “Where would you find a better girlfriend than me?”

The nurse smiled gently behind her mask and removed the IV from the cat's leg.

When Jun Matsue returned to the clinic, Haruka Mochizuki was comforting the kitten curled up on her lap—Kanegi had just finished a fecal examination, and the little female cat, whose anus had been poked, was a bit listless.

The girl looked up and asked him with her eyes what his plans were for the afternoon.

"Imokawa said the weather this afternoon shouldn't be affected." The boy sat back down next to her. "If we start filming early and everything goes smoothly, there won't be any problems."

“Oh…” Mochizuki Haruka tugged at the tip of the cat’s tail.

It's a bit of a pity, because she certainly hoped that on this rare day when no one would bother her, she could have the boy all to herself.

Jun Matsue brushed the cat hair off the girl's clothes, saying, "We'll see how to solve lunch later."

The doctor walked up to the two of them with the report, saying, "Several indicators in the stool test are abnormal, which are signs of nonspecific inflammation."

"It could be a bacterial infection or enteritis. Have you had any accompanying symptoms recently?"

Mochizuki Haruka frowned slightly as she pondered, pressing down on Kinchi's head. "...It's been having some loose stools lately, and it seems to be licking its fur more often."

The boy glanced at her in surprise. Observing her grooming was one thing, but he didn't expect Wangyue to seriously examine her own cat's feces—this was not something she would do.

"Hmm..." The woman parted the cat's fur to take a look. "It might be a food allergy. We need to do some testing."

The girl's brows furrowed even more. "But I haven't changed its recipe."

"Jinzhi is three years old now." The nurse squatted down and petted the cat.

"Cats are very capricious creatures. They can eat the same food for a long time without any problems, but one day they may suddenly develop an allergy."

“Then let’s get a food allergy test done,” Mochizuki Haruka said decisively. “We need the most comprehensive one, and it doesn’t matter if it takes a long time.”

"Okay." The nurse nodded. "You can take it for an abdominal ultrasound first."

It wasn't until 11:30 a.m. that the boy and girl walked out of the hospital carrying their exhausted-looking cat.

"We need to control their diet and conduct an exclusion test," Jun Matsue said, looking at the safe cat food in his hand. "Luckily, it's not a big problem."

Mochizuki Haruka nodded. "We can start investigating slowly from here on out. Let's find a restaurant that allows pets."

After finding a nearby coffee shop, Jun Matsueda put down the menu in his hand and looked at the girl next to him.

Mochizuki Haruka was lying on the table, gazing at her beloved pet in its carrier, her eyes filled with obvious concern.

“Wangyue really cares about it.” The boy poked her cheek.

"Of course!" The girl sat up and leaned against his shoulder in a relaxed manner.

"I care about everyone around me."
