Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 115 Hot Milk, Shipwreck, and Bedtime Fairy Tales

"Hello."

"Yes, she's at my door."

"Half past twelve?"

"Okay, it's okay. Let me take a look at the specific situation first."

Matsueda Jun hung up the phone. It was the Mochizuki family's bodyguard calling. The man in the suit had parked his car on the side of the road outside the apartment building. He had noticed that the lights in Matsueda's house had not been on and called out of concern.

Jun Matsueda placed the kitchen knife on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, opened the security door, and looked at the girl in front of him who looked like she was out of her body.

"Why are you so wet? Didn't someone bring you here?"

Mochizuki Haruka shuddered. "I heard that getting wet in the rain can help you calm down."

It was too late and she was afraid of disturbing Jun Matsueda. However, the anxiety in the girl's heart was like black mud with nowhere to release. She chose to walk around in the open space downstairs again and again, trying to calm herself down by getting caught in the rain.

As expected, she failed, which is why the girl is now standing in front of Jun Matsueda.

"Come in first." Jun Matsueda turned on the light in the living room and brought her a pair of slippers.

"Matsueda--" Mochizuki Haruka took a step forward and put her hands on Matsueda Jun's chest. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"Go to the bathroom and take a hot shower before we talk."

He sent the girl into the bathroom and went back to the bedroom to find clothes.

Mochizuki Haruka needed to change his clothes, as his own pajamas had just been wet by the ghost-like cold hands.

Jun Matsueda knocked on the bathroom door and said, "I've left your clothes at the door." Then he went to the living room to heat milk for the girl.

After Mochizuki Haruka came out wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, Matsueda Jun poured hot milk into the glass.

This cup was used to entertain guests, and it was used to pour barley tea for Tomatsu Tomoka and Kurusu Yoshi. Of course, Kurusu Yoshi now has his own special cup.

The girl was standing in the living room. Matsueda Jun pointed to Kurusu Yoshi's room and said, "If you want to wear underwear, go to her room and look for it yourself."

When Mochizuki Haruka returned to the living room, Matsueda Jun was already sitting on the sofa watching TV. The girl sat down next to him with a glass in her hands.

"The Mochizuki sank." The girl finally said her first sentence. After being interrupted several times by Matsueda Jun, she found that her tone was calmer than expected.

Matsueda Jun pressed the remote to mute the TV screen. "The Mochizuki on Lake Ashi?"

The girl took a sip of milk and nodded. "I just received news tonight. According to the design, it should still be able to work for at least twenty years."

The tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes washed away the traces of milk on her lips.

"Could it be because of the previous typhoon?" Jun Matsueda tried to find a scientific explanation.

Mochizuki Haruka shook his head. "Lake Ashi is in a valley, so it's generally not affected by typhoons. Furthermore, the regular inspections of previous ships haven't revealed any problems."

She looked at Matsueda Jun like a homeless puppy, "It must be my aunt."

He unmuted the TV and the sound of the night show came through.

"There's no need to think that way. Accidents can happen for many reasons. The Mochizuki is just a civilian replica ship. It's normal for something to go wrong."

Although there would be no glacier suddenly appearing in Lake Ashi that would cause the Mochizuki to hit, he could only try his best to persuade the girl.

"Perhaps there was a problem with the original counterfeit design, or perhaps the manufacturer cut corners or something? This possibility is much greater."

"But this time, Auntie hasn't woken up for over a week again."

Mochizuki Haruka put the milk on the table, but Matsueda Jun picked it up again and handed it to her, "You'd better drink it while it's hot. You've been in the rain for so long, your body needs to warm up."

After the girl reluctantly took the glass, he changed the channel on TV. Quiet music flowed in the room, making the sound of rain outside the window seem even more violent.

"You said before that the doctor's judgment is that the condition may worsen. Now that he hasn't woken up for over a week, it's expected. Don't associate it with the shipwreck."

"If that's what you're thinking, could it be that Auntie is crying because of the rain tonight? Tokyo has so many earthquakes every year. If something in the Mochizuki family's house collapses in a couple of days, are you going to think it's related to Auntie again?" Mochizuki Haruka sipped her milk without saying a word.

"Your thoughts have become heavy because your life is so monotonous and gloomy." Matsueda Jun sighed, "Go back and get a good night's sleep. Don't stay in your aunt's ward all the time. Go out for a walk and eat more."

He took out his cell phone and called the man in the suit downstairs, but the call didn't go through.

After making two more calls, the call still didn't go through. Jun Matsueda walked to the bedroom window and saw a black car parked on the side of the road with the lights still on.

"Did you fall asleep?"

He returned to the living room and looked at the girl sitting on the sofa drinking milk quietly. "Where are you sleeping tonight?"

Wangyue Yao was lying on Laiqi Yangshi's bed. She wrinkled her nose. The quilt was filled with the smell of that woman.

She listened to the sounds outside the bedroom door. Jun Matsueda was still in the living room. He was throwing the girl's clothes into the washing machine and cleaning up the water stains left by her when she entered the room.

The room was not completely dark because the curtains were not completely drawn. The light from the street lamp and the sound of rain shone into the room, leaving a bright strip on the quilt.

A place where she had left memories, sunk just like that. She remembered the feeling of standing on the deck, solid and stable, no different from standing on land.

The girl began to wonder if there was anything in this world that would not be destroyed.

At this time, salvage operations were already underway at Lake Ashi. Haruka Mochizuki added a lot of money just to get the salvage team out of bed.

But what can be done to pull the aunt in the ward out of the ocean of deep sleep?

The words that Jun Matsueda said in the living room did not bring more comfort to the girl than a cup of hot milk.

Whenever she closed her eyes, the image of Wang Yuehua appeared in her mind. The woman was lying at the bottom of the water, her black hair floating, looking at her with helpless eyes.

Jun Matsueda had just put the mop back in the bathroom when he turned around and saw the girl standing in the living room.

"I can't sleep." There was emptiness in Mochizuki Yao's eyes.

Jun Matsueda sighed, he felt like he was back in the orphanage in his dream.

This was the second time that Matsueda Jun had entered Kurusu's room. The first time was when he was helping with the luggage. He sat on the edge of the bed, and the girl huddled under the quilt, only her eyes were exposed as she looked at him.

"What do I have to do to make you go to bed?" It was already past two o'clock. Although tomorrow was Sunday, Jun Matsueda did not have the habit of staying up late.

"fairy tale."

"What?" Mochizuki Haruka's voice was muffled by the quilt, and Matsueda Jun couldn't hear it clearly.

“My aunt used to read me fairy tales, and I wanted to hear them.”

This really turned into coaxing a child. Matsueda Jun thought about it and realized that he had read many fairy tales and had told them to children in the orphanage before.

"Then shall I read you The Little Prince?"

The girl didn't say anything, just pulled the quilt and closed her eyes.

"When I was six years old, I saw a captivating picture in a book."

"These adults never take the initiative to understand anything; and for us children, it's exhausting to constantly explain things to them."

"So, I stopped talking to him about pythons, pristine rainforests, or stars. I only talked about things he could understand, like bridge, golf, politics, and ties. That way, the person would be very happy, thinking he had met someone who was understanding and sensible."

After Matsueda Jun finished reading the first section, the girl's breathing finally became calm and even. He quietly walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

At 2:52 a.m., Jun Matsueda finally returned to his bed and could go back to sleep. Listening to the incessant rain outside the window, he decided to get up an hour later tomorrow.

The next morning, Jun Matsueda's plan to get an extra hour of sleep failed when Kurusu Yoshi stormed into his bedroom.

"Matsueda! Why is your friend wearing my underwear and sleeping in my bed?!"
