Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Remember to watch where you're going!"

"I don't need you to remind me!" Yosei Kurusu said, biting his straw.

Jun Matsue smiled and looked at the road ahead with the girl.

The sky is clear tonight, with thin clouds visible, which in the moonlight resemble the snowflakes and marbling on the beef at their dinner.

The streetlights on both sides were far apart, and their dim, aged lights reminded one of a lone firefly as they passed by the car window.

The boy's gaze returned to the car interior. The closed windows made the sound of the wind somewhat muffled. The sleeping cat amulet hanging on the rearview mirror swayed precariously. Behind it, the road surface rolled out in the distance as the horizon shifted—the cat hadn't opened its eyes, so it seemed the road was relatively safe.

Some people enjoy driving at night, perhaps because they appreciate the tranquility of traveling alone at night and the perfect sense of solitude... Looking at the girl's profile, Jun Matsue felt a warm and delicate feeling, like coffee, welling up inside him.

As the pink Toyota passed the boundary marker of Tochigi Prefecture, Yosei Kurusu looked at the road sign in front of him that read "Hanyu PA".

"Let's go to the parking area and rest for a while."

“No problem.” Jun Matsueda breathed a sigh of relief. “I’d be worried if you drove all the way to Tokyo.”

"It's just that sitting in the car all the time is a bit boring~" The girl smiled, quickly turned the steering wheel, and drove into the parking area.

After the car came to a complete stop, Jun Matsueda unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over to the back seat, and gently patted Aya Miyamura's calf.

"We've stopped for a break. Cai-chan, would you like to get out and use the restroom?"

"...What?" The girl sat up groggily.

"We're stopping for a break. Would you like to get out of the car?"

She closed her eyes and remained silent for two seconds, as if sensing her bladder, before collapsing softly to the ground.

"I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when we get to Tokyo..."

So Aya was left in the car. The boy and girl opened the car door, and the cool night breeze and fresh air gently touched their cheeks.

Matsue Jun removed his hands from under the humming hand dryer and walked out of the bathroom, leaving only the sound of his footsteps in the empty corridor.

The parking area on the highway was quite basic, with only restrooms and convenience stores. The boy walked out of the door and found the familiar figure of a girl in front of a row of vending machines.

Yosei Kurusu leaned against the wall next to the vending machine, looking down at her phone. The girl had a lollipop in her mouth, and the cool light from the screen shone softly on her face, making the light reflected in her pupils particularly bright.

Like a girl who has run away from home... Matsueda Jun thought to himself, and walked over to lean against the wall with her.

"What are you looking at?"

"Well, it's a message from my manager." The idol's tone was a little cold, more like that of a homeless child.

What did she say?

"Hmm... I was talking about the contract." The girl shrugged. "Judging from the current situation, terminating the contract is indeed the best option."

"She suggested that I find a temporary agent, otherwise I would be at a disadvantage when negotiating contracts with the new company."

"My sister is such a good person~" She looked up and smiled at the boy, "Even though we're about to end our partnership, she's still thinking of me."

Jun Matsue nodded. "See what she likes, and buy her a gift to thank her properly."

"Does Matsugi want some candy?" Kurusu Yosei pulled a handful of lollipops from his pocket and held them between his fingers like brass knuckles.

"Eat it on the bus." The boy casually picked one out and held it in his hand.

"So it's confirmed that you want to terminate the contract?"

"Hmm... I think so." The girl put away her phone. "The president and manager both said that this is the best way."

"I don't understand these things either, I've always left them to them. I just need to show my most charming self on stage."

"So, do you have any ideas? Which company do you want to join? Do you want to change your idol image?"

"How could that be?" She shook her head, candy in her mouth. "I haven't even thought about these things!"

There was a brief silence around the vending machine. The boy and girl looked up at the headlights of cars passing by on the highway behind the fence not far away.

"Have you heard of YM Entertainment, Kurusu?" Jun Matsueda suddenly asked.

"Of course I've heard of them!" Yosei Kurusu said without hesitation. "They're a super famous agency; Utada Hikaru is one of their artists!"

"Why don't you talk to them?" the boy continued. "They seem quite interested in you."

"..." The girl turned her head and stared at him, her eyes sparkling. "Really?"

“Of course it’s true.” Jun Matsue looked into her eyes. “However, they haven’t signed any individual idols, so if you want to join, you might have to change your mindset.”

"But it's hard to say. You should talk to them yourself."

The girl didn't speak, but stared intently at his face.

“YM is the company owned by Yamami-senpai’s family.” Jun Matsueda stuffed the lollipop he was holding back into her pocket.

I apologize for contacting her without asking what Lai Xi thought.

"..." The girl remained unresponsive, like a delicate doll.

"Kurusu?"

Yosei Kurusu didn't speak, but a crunching sound came from her mouth—she was chewing the candy in her mouth.

The girl quickly threw the paper stick she was holding into the trash can behind her, then swiftly opened her arms and hugged the boy in front of her.

Before Jun Matsueda could react, her lips were already pressed against his, and the two kissed.

A car drove into the parking area, and a bright beam of light swept across the boy and girl, piercing them together like an arrow.

Yosei Kurusu released her hand from the boy's head, panting excitedly, her moist lips gleaming in the darkness.

"You're doomed, Pine Branch." The girl forcefully pressed her forehead against the boy's, staring into his eyes.

"After all you've done, do you still expect me to let you off the hook for the rest of your life?"

Before the man in front of her could speak, the girl hugged him tightly and kissed him.

Looking at the flickering lights on the highway, Jun Matsue's mind, which was blank from the illumination, was filled with only one thought.

The candy she ate was lemon-flavored.

Chapter 662 The Ambiguity That Is About to Dissipate

The parking area entrance was quiet, and passing cars headed straight for the gas station, unaware of the couple kissing next to the vending machine.

Jun Matsue was tightly embraced by a girl half a head shorter than him. Both of them were wearing thin vests and shirts, and their youthful, hot bodies were pressed together, heating up at an alarming rate.

The intense sweetness of lemon candy filled his mouth, and the fresh scent of a young girl's hair filled his nostrils. The idol's lips were moist and soft, yet her kiss was exceptionally bold, as if she wanted to suck all the air out of his lungs.

When the slippery, hot candy awkwardly and savagely probed into his lips, as if awakened by the music of a vending machine, Jun Matsue broke free from the girl's tight embrace and quickly took two steps back to create distance.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was still not satisfied, the boy wiped his lips with his sleeve, his movements somewhat awkward.

"..." The attack was too sudden, and he didn't know what to say.

Yosei Kurusu's expression was quite natural; she stuck out her tongue and gave the boy a reproachful look.

"The coffee tastes bitter, it's not good!"

"Who told you to taste it?" Jun Matsue wiped his lips again.

"Have a candy, Pine Branch!" the girl said, reaching into her pocket. "After you finish, we'll kiss again!"

"..." Seeing her wink mischievously and alluringly, the boy chose to walk towards the vending machine.

It was supposed to be a big deal like kissing, but this guy acted like it was nothing, like they'd just shared a tub of ice cream. I really didn't know what to do.

Miss Idol watched him walk past her to the vending machine, then lightly hopped two steps and landed next to the boy.

"Hey, aren't we going to continue?"

Matsueda Jun silently bent down, picked up the wild vegetable juice from the pick-up point, and drank two large gulps with his eyes closed.

"What are you doing?" The girl frowned and punched him lightly. "You're disgusted with me?!"

The boy ignored her, swallowed the wild vegetable juice that was supposedly a mixture of thirty kinds of fruits and vegetables, and looked somewhat pained.

"This stuff tastes much worse than coffee."

"Really?" Kurusu Yosei leaned over and licked the corner of his lips, then immediately spat it into the trash can.

The girl punched him twice more without turning around, saying, "How am I supposed to kiss you like this!"

The ambiguous atmosphere in the corner vanished completely, and the chirping of insects hidden in the surrounding grass came over again.

In the spirit of not wasting food, the boy quickly drank the remaining half box of wild vegetable juice before looking at the girl in front of him with a resentful look in her eyes.

"I didn't do anything."

Kurosaki Yosei tilted his head, not understanding what he was saying.

"I was referring to YM Entertainment." Jun Matsueda glanced around. Kurusu wasn't wearing sunglasses or a mask, and thankfully there was no one else nearby.

"I only passed on a message; I didn't do much. When you meet their people, you'll still have to rely on yourself."

"So don't feel like I've done you a huge favor. With your current fame, if you're willing to transfer your nationality, there will definitely be big companies that want you."

"Oh~" Kurusu Yosei blinked. "So?"

"What does this have to do with me wanting to kiss you?"

"..." Jun Matsue stared at her for a few seconds. The girl's eyes sparkled with a sense of entitlement, reminding him of the taste of lemon candy.

Yosei Kurusu is that kind of person; she can always easily pull others into her rhythm and then naturally conquer them.

The boy could only walk helplessly toward the parking lot.

"Get in the car, aren't we still in a hurry?"

The sound of two car doors closing rang in her ears, and Miyamura Aya groggily opened her eyes again.

She propped herself up on the seat and looked at the two people in front of her who were wearing seat belts.

"Awake?" Jun Matsue turned around upon hearing the noise. "Should we get off the bus?"

"No need, I want some water..." The girl fanned her cheeks, feeling a little hot as she slept against the pillow.

The boy picked up a bottle of mineral water and unscrewed the cap as he handed it to her.

The cool liquid slid down her throat, and Cai Jiang became much more awake. She took out her phone to check the time, then leaned against the car window to look at the night outside.

Where are we now?

“We’ll be home in a little over an hour.” Jun Matsue turned to the side. “So drive slowly, no rush.”

"Okay~" Kurusu Yosei replied obediently, her tone somewhat sweet.

"..." Miyamura Aya, sitting in the back row, sat up and looked at the two of them from left to right while holding onto the back of her chair.

Why does it feel like the atmosphere between Chun-ge and Yang-shi-jie has changed a bit?

"What were you doing just now?" she asked tentatively.

"It's nothing." The boy pushed her back into her seat. "We're about to set off, so hurry up and sit down."

Caijiang hugged the cushion and sat back down. She still hadn't given up. Her gaze went through the rearview mirror and she looked back and forth at the two people in the front row.

Before starting the car and pressing the accelerator, Yosei Kurusu took out a handful of lollipops from her pocket and handed them to the boy.

"Pine branch, have a piece of candy!"

With the taste of wild vegetable juice still lingering in his mouth, Jun Matsue reached out and took the package, picking through the colorful wrappers.

The girl suddenly leaned closer and said with a smile, "There's no lemon flavor~"

“…Oh.” The boy randomly picked one, tore open the packaging, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The pink Toyota sped back onto the highway, and Aya Miyamura looked at the smiling girl holding the steering wheel in the rearview mirror.

And on the other side, a boy with candy in his mouth, resting his chin on his hand and looking out the car window.

Caijiang nodded firmly.

There's definitely something wrong!

At 9:05 p.m., the door to apartment 507 in the Mitakadai housing complex was opened, and Yosuke Kurusu walked into the entrance hall and placed his car key and house key on the cabinet next to the door.

The girl quickly changed into slippers and stepped onto the wooden floor of the living room, then stretched her arms vigorously.

"I'm home~~"

"Thank you for your hard work." Jun Matsueda, carrying a bag, followed her into the apartment building, holding a bag of oden he had bought at the intersection in front of the building.
