Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Songzhi, is this how you fill out the volunteer survey?"

Jun Matsue turned his head and looked at the form the girl had slapped on his desk. Haruka Mochizuki's handwriting wasn't the neat and tidy type, but rather a casual and unrestrained style, with some rounded turns in the strokes, a cute quality unique to young girls.

"Keio Gijuku?" The boy nodded. "It's not exactly easy to get in."

"My aunt suggested I choose this one. She said she would definitely guarantee I'd pass the exam." The girl tossed her hair, but there was no happy expression on her face as she said this.

“I see.” Jun Matsue nodded again. “That’s a good thing, at least there won’t be much pressure in the senior year.”

Keio University is a private university, and there are quite a few ways for children of chaebols to get in.

But Mochizuki Haruka frowned. She stretched out her right hand and tapped the top column of the form—the girl's first choice was still blank.

Last night, her aunt told her about all the advantages of Keio University, the top private university in Japan, which is especially friendly to a rich girl like her, with a light workload, and courses that she would be interested in, such as luxury goods economics and fashion brand marketing.

However, Mochizuki Haruka only saw one flaw: she checked the map and found that Keio University's main campus was located in Minato Ward, and it would take forty minutes by subway to get to the University of Tokyo in Bunkyo Ward.

Tomatsu Tomoka could even be Matsueda Jun's deskmate.

"But I want to apply to the University of Tokyo, what should I do?"

She was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Chapter 509 Three Rounds of Interviews, Each with Its Own Problems

After submitting the volunteer survey form, the next day will be the individual interview.

Kominato Shoko sat in her empty office, organizing the documents in front of her. She had just finished an interview with a student and was waiting for the next knock on the door.

"Dudu".

With two clean and swift movements, and a slightly soft voice, Mochizuki Haruka pushed open the door and walked to the woman's side, nodding to her.

"Hello, Mochizuki-san." The female teacher smiled, feeling somewhat awkward.

The eldest daughter of the Mochizuki family specifically requested to be placed in the class taught by her teacher during the second year of high school. Kominato Shoko didn't understand why at the time, until after the class assignments were completed, the girl requested that her seat be arranged next to a boy.

So it was a past relationship issue with Matsueda Jun...

Matsue is already dating Yuka. Has he dealt with this emotional debt from Mochizuki?

Kominato Shoko quickly found out the answer.

"Mochizuki-san's first choice is the University of Tokyo..."

Looking at the girl's survey form and usual report card, she said, "You'll have to work really hard to get into the University of Tokyo."

The female teacher's words were very tactful; given Mochizuki's academic abilities, she thought it was unlikely.

"I think it would be better to prioritize Keio University, right? If we focus all our energy on getting into the University of Tokyo, it might affect our other choices."

Kominato Shoko had learned about the girl's family background, and Keio University would definitely have a way to help her, but even the Japanese Imperial Family doesn't have a shortcut to the University of Tokyo.

“No.” Mochizuki Haruka shook her head stubbornly. “I want to go to the same university as Matsue.”

The female teacher was momentarily speechless. "While love is indeed important, shouldn't we consider the future more carefully?"

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Kominato," the girl blinked, her tone indifferent, "but my life will not be affected by which university I attend."

"..." These words, spoken by the eldest daughter of the Mochizuki family, were truly irrefutable, and Kominato Shoko could only sigh inwardly.

"Afterwards, Kawai Juku will have some really tough mock exams. The humanities at the University of Tokyo are divided into three categories. Mochizuki-kun, you should think carefully about which category you should apply for."

Mochizuki Haruka nodded. "I'll take whichever category is easier, as long as I can go to the same university as Matsue."

Watching the girl turn and leave, closing the door behind her, Kominato Shoko rubbed her temples in frustration.

A few minutes later, two knocks sounded at intervals outside the door, neither too loud nor too soft, as if to remind the people inside that someone was about to come in.

The door was pushed open, and a girl's head peeked in. "Hello, Kominato-sensei~"

Tomatsu Yuka greeted the homeroom teacher with a smile before walking up to her, saying, "It's time for another one-on-one interview."

“Yes.” Kominato Shoko smiled relaxedly. “Yuka did very well on this mock exam, ranking first in the whole school.”

"Thank you~" The girl nodded in satisfaction. "Is the second place Tsunkun?"

Even in front of the teacher, she still addressed the boys affectionately, but Kominato Shoko didn't seem to mind too much. "That's right, Matsueda is amazing too."

Tomatsu Yuka didn't say anything, but smiled even more happily than when she had just been praised.

"Yuka is also planning to apply to the University of Tokyo, right?"

"Yes, just like Jun-kun!"

Kominato Shoko said "also" because she was thinking of Mochizuki Haruka who had just left, but she didn't intend to correct this little misunderstanding.

"Which category are you planning to choose? Arts or Literature?"

Humanities students usually go to the law school, and she didn't think the girl was interested in studying law.

"I haven't had a chance to ask Tsunku yet," Tomatsu Yuka smiled. "I'll just go with whichever category he chooses."

The female teacher couldn't help but think to herself, "She can't stop talking about Chun-kun. Is this what girls in love are like?"

"It involves your university major and future career path, so you should really think about it carefully, right?"

“What the teacher said makes sense.” Tomatsu Yuka’s smile remained unchanged. “However, I don’t really care about my major. No matter what I choose, the first two years at the University of Tokyo are all the same basic education, which suits me perfectly.”

Kominato Shoko is feeling a bit tired.

One said it wouldn't have any impact, and the other said it didn't matter. Why are girls' thoughts so strange?

After seeing off the girl who already had her own ideas, the female teacher took a two-minute break to drink water. Just as she put down her water glass, there was a loud knocking on the door.

When Jun Matsuo entered the office, he noticed that his homeroom teacher's gaze seemed somewhat unfriendly, and he touched his cheek.

"Is Ms. Kominato in a bad mood today?"

"It's all because of you..." Kominato Shoko's voice was tinged with resentment.

"Me?" The boy was a little surprised. "Is the teacher not satisfied with my grades?"

"Never mind, let's not talk about that." The woman waved her hand. "What should Matsue study at Tokyo University? He should have already decided, right?"

If even Songzhi hasn't figured it out yet, she really needs to give her a good lecture.

Jun Matsue nodded. "From a practical planning perspective, I personally prefer the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Economics, or the Faculty of Liberal Arts."

"However, the outlook for the legal industry in Japan is not very good right now, so they will probably give priority to the economics department."

“…Oh.” Kominato Shoko suddenly seemed a little annoyed.

"Oh, what do you mean, Kominato-sensei?" Jun Matsueda blinked.

"It means I understand." The professor from the Department of Younger Sisters rolled her eyes cutely. "You've thought it through very clearly. There's nothing more I can do to guide you. I look forward to your results on the Tokyo University mock exam."

"Thank you, teacher." The boy smiled brightly.

"But there's one thing," the female teacher finally sighed.

"Young love is indeed a precious feeling, but it wouldn't be good if it affected your studies. You must find a good balance in this relationship."

Jun Matsue nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your advice, teacher."

Stepping out of the office, the young man didn't immediately take a step, but instead gazed at the scattered figures in the corridor and began to ponder.

Ms. Kominato didn't use the word "love," but rather "like," so it seems she wasn't just talking about Tomatsu, but also about Mochizuki?

Mochizuki's matter can be put aside for now. Matsueda Jun walked towards the classroom; it was time to seriously consider his romantic relationship.

Tomatsu has been getting increasingly proactive lately, especially when the two of them are alone. This isn't a good thing...

Two days ago, while sheltering from the rain at a karaoke bar, he originally wanted to talk to Tomatsu Yuka about this matter, but the girl started talking about her family instead—listening to her talk about her happiness, Matsueda Jun really didn't want to speak.

But we can't keep putting it off forever... The boy opened the back door of his classroom.

Sitting in the back row, Mochizuki Haruka and Tomatsu Tomoka turned their heads and looked at him in unison.

Behind them, the bright sunlight streaming through the window cast a dreamlike glow on the girls' beautiful figures.

It would be better to find an opportunity to talk about it, Jun Matsue thought to himself.

Chapter 510 Studying on campus, performing off campus

As the most beautiful hot girl in Class 6 of Grade 3 and even the whole grade, Rion is different from most carefree hot girls; she has long planned for her life.

Bunka Fashion College, the most comprehensive fashion design school in Japan and even Asia, has produced famous designers such as Yohji Yamamoto and Hiroshi Fujiwara. It emphasizes skills training and does not have high academic requirements.

The girl looked down at the informational materials on her desk. No matter how you looked at it, this was the perfect school for her!

A love of fashion is in a hot girl's nature, and Rion is no exception.

She has a good sense of style, so she is the one who is closest to Mochizuki Haruka among the school's gyaru (female stunners). The two of them used to go shopping in Shibuya and Shinjuku together with everyone, buying the most popular cosmetics, the latest clothing and accessories, and the most fashionable magazines.

But... she turned around and looked at the girl sitting by the window in the last row.

It's lunch break time. Sitting in the back row, Mochizuki Haruka isn't sleeping on her black cat pillow. Instead, she's writing practice questions with a slight frown, occasionally covering her mouth to yawn.

When Rion heard the girl say that she wanted to apply to the University of Tokyo, she felt like her world was collapsing.

She had heard Mochizuki Haruka mention that she planned to start a fashion company in the future. Rion had originally thought that after graduating from Bunka Fashion College, she could become a designer for young girls.

However, Mochizuki Chika is now saying that she wants to apply to the University of Tokyo—aren't all the future graduates of the University of Tokyo elites and white-collar workers in big companies? How can that have anything to do with trends and fashion?

The girl felt that things couldn't continue like this.

So, after lunch break, Jun Matsueda was stopped by a worried-looking hot girl in the corridor outside the classroom.

He stopped in his tracks. "Is there something you need, Rion-kun?"

"Um, there's something I'd like to discuss with Matsueda-chan alone..."

The girl glanced at Tomatsu Tomoka next to the boy; the girl smiled and seemed very friendly.

"Then I'll take the materials back to the classroom first." Tomatsu Yuka was always very good-natured when facing a passerby who posed no threat. "Tsunku, give me the copy you're holding too."

After handing over the documents they were holding, Jun Matsueda and Rion stood by the corridor window, and the girl spoke directly:

"Could you, Matsue-chan, try to persuade Mochizuki-chan?"

"What are you trying to persuade me of?" the boy blinked.

"Um, about applying to Tokyo University..." The girl seemed a little embarrassed, as if she felt she was meddling a bit too much.

"I just feel that she and the University of Tokyo are not a good match at all!"

“Hmm…” Jun Matsue smiled. “I think so too.”

"Right, right!" Relieved to find that someone else thought the same thing, the sassy girl breathed a sigh of relief. "So someone should try to persuade Mochizuki-chan, right?"

"If it's something you say, Matsueda will definitely listen to you!"

"Thank you for your concern for her." The boy's tone was gentle. "However, Mochizuki is a very opinionated person, and everyone's volunteer survey forms were only submitted a couple of days ago. I will talk to her about it in a while."

"Please remember, Matsueda-chan! I'm looking forward to being Mochizuki-chan's designer in the future!"

Watching the girl wave goodbye and walk away, Jun Matsueda was a little confused. "What designer?"

The hot girl spoke so whimsically that the boy didn't try to understand her. He went back to the classroom, sat down, and looked at the girl on his left who was writing furiously.

Mochizuki Haruka kept her head down as she wrote the questions, picking up a strand of her long hair with her left hand and wrapping it around her index finger, as if trying to relieve her anxiety while thinking.

Jun Matsue leaned over to take a look. Under the girl's fair arm was the book from the University of Tokyo, the same one he had worked on recently.

In his memory, apart from the homework assigned by the teachers and the test papers issued by the school, Mochizuki Haruka never did any extra exercises.

"Are you really going to apply to Tokyo University?" The boy lowered his head and turned his face to observe the girl's focused expression.

Mochizuki Haruka glanced at him, then looked at the question in front of her. "When have I ever lied?"

She truly never lies, Jun Matsue nodded, recalling the phone call he made to his aunt the previous night.

The boy didn't say anything else, just asked Mochizuki what to do about her desire to apply to the University of Tokyo. The woman's answer was much calmer than he expected.

"If Xiaoyao wants to take the exam, let her take it first~"

The aunt spoke casually; she always respected every decision her niece made.

"Although the chances are indeed slim, there's always the backup plan from Keio University, so there's no harm in giving it a try."

"Shouldn't you feel relieved, Matsue? If Haruka is focused on her studies, she won't have time to bother you, right?" the woman asked with a smile.

Jun Matsue did not answer the question; he had never said that Mochizuki's contact with him was harassment.
