Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 140 Tree Girl

The school trip is scheduled for early December.

It's less than two weeks before departure, and these days, Jun Matsueda can hear people around him talking about Hokkaido in the cafeteria, in the corridor, and at the sink in the toilet.

The snow in Hokkaido, the bare-legged JK in Hokkaido, and the sea tram in Hokkaido.

While the boys were discussing what to do on the road, Sushan was already fantasizing about meeting a girl wearing a white scarf in the heavy snow in northern Neon.

The girls were discussing what to wear to keep warm and look good. In the corner of the classroom, they secretly decided to wear manicures and jewelry together so that the accompanying teacher would not check so strictly.

Even though the results of the Chinese language test in the afternoon were dismal, it did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. The "extraordinary" things that were right before their eyes had occupied everything.

In the gymnasium after school, Jun Matsueda looked at the empty stands and said, "The wind band didn't come today."

"A nearby special school has invited us to perform today, so practice has been cancelled." The soft voice behind me sounded heavier than usual.

He turned around and looked at the girl in front of him. The clarinet she usually carried was not there today.

"Does Yamami-senpai have a cold?"

Yamami Maki nodded, "I have a little cough, I am sorry to have caused everyone to worry."

"Perhaps it would be better for you to go back and rest early, Senior."

The girl smiled and waved her hand. "It's nothing serious, just a scratchy throat. Besides, I can't fall behind in studying for the competition."

"Senior is really serious," Matsueda Jun said with a hint of helplessness. In terms of diligence, he probably couldn't compare to her.

"Because Shin-chan knows that I'm also going to participate in the biology competition." Yamami Maki blushed a little when she mentioned the genius girl from Ochanomizu, "I don't want to lose to her, otherwise she'll laugh at me again.

Matsueda Jun opened the textbook she brought with her and asked, "How did Kuroba Shin know this?"

“My mom mentioned it when she visited her last time,” said Yami Maki, sitting down on the bench a little distance away from her. “I did some research on genetics and evolution recently.”

After the basketball team and cheerleading team gradually arrived, the two stopped talking about the competition and instead looked at the young and energetic bodies in the venue.

"It seems like you've decided on the location for your school trip?"

"Yes, Hokkaido." Jun Matsueda helplessly found that he mentioned Hokkaido more often.

"Hokkaido in winter is really nice. I went there during the first month of the lunar year."

The two chatted about crab pot, and after Imokawa Natsumi set up the camera, Yamami Moki tactfully said goodbye.

The girl only coughed twice before she left. Her voice was really nice, and even her cough did not make people feel awkward or out of control. Instead, she had the beauty of Xishi Daiyu.

Jun Matsueda looked at her back. There are three things that people cannot hide: cough, poverty and love.

Natsumi Imokawa took over Yamami Maki's seat and sat next to Matsueda Jun. She sat a little closer than her senior.

She rubbed her hands together, as if she wanted to say something.

"Hokkaido?" Jun Matsueda asked tentatively, although he didn't want to hear this answer.

"Hokkaido!" The girl nodded.

"Why does everyone keep bringing up this topic?" Jun Matsueda could freely make sarcastic remarks in front of Natsumi Imokawa.

"I'm sorry, my topic is off topic. I'm very sorry." The girl immediately bowed her head and apologized.

“That’s not what I meant. You can say whatever you want.” Jun Matsueda suddenly felt angry at those guys who were talking loudly. It was because of the conversations of those passersby that he lost interest in Natsumi Imokawa’s topic. No matter how you looked at it, it was their fault.

"Well, Mom and Dad want me to take more photos when the time comes." Her hometown is in the south, and the whole family is very curious about Hokkaido.

"That's great, then take more pictures. Remember to bring more batteries." Jun Matsueda never hesitates to give verbal encouragement to Natsumi Imokawa.

"Well, they also said they wanted to see more of my new friend." The girl recalled her mother's smile at the dinner table after she heard the news that Jun Matsueda had won the award.

"We'll talk about it later. Even though we're all in the same grade, we don't necessarily get to meet each other, right?"

“That’s true,” Natsumi Imokawa lowered her head, staring at the wooden floor between her legs.

"There should be some free time. Let's see if we can meet up."

"Really?" The girl raised her head quickly, and the light in her eyes appeared again.

"I'm not a teacher, I can't guarantee that. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Despite saying this, Natsumi Imokawa kept nodding her head. That's just how she is. A little bit of hope can make her very happy.

On the second day of training, the girls of the wind band returned, but Jun Matsueda did not see the captain.

Tomatsu Tomoka came to the bench and said, "The director asked me to tell Matsueda-san that she's taking a day off today. I'm very sorry."

Did yesterday's cold get worse? Matsueda Jun took out his phone, and the chat box between him and Yamami Moki was stuck on the previous voice call, which was made when Tomatsu Yuka was bullied.

The two of them didn't actually have much contact. He thought about it, put his phone back in his pocket, and didn't send a message to the senior.

This may be what is meant by a sense of proportion.

Before leaving school, Jun Matsueda stuffed a few more textbooks into his bag. Tomorrow is Saturday, which is also Neon's "Labor Appreciation Day", so there are no classes.

Although it's "Hard Work Appreciation Day," it's actually the laziest day for everyone. Jun Matsueda had planned to look for a new part-time job, but no one wanted to interview on that day, so he ended up staying home with his roommate and next-door neighbor.

"I didn't feel that way when there were only two of us, but now that there are three of us, I feel like this sofa is a bit crowded."

Kurusu Yoshi, who was lying on the sofa and took up half the space, spoke shamelessly, glancing at the girl beside him.

Mochizuki Haruka ignored her. The girl tried to get Matsueda Jun to use his lap as a pillow for her, but a golden cat was perched on his thigh, motionless.

The girl decided to reduce the cat's cat food starting tomorrow.

By Sunday, all kinds of shops resumed business, and Jun Matsueda got what he wanted and went out to look for a new job.

As the year draws to a close, the demand for part-time jobs has decreased a lot, but Jun Matsueda still maintains a 100% interview success rate and walks out of the last store in the morning.

"What should I have for lunch?" He walked down the unfamiliar street, searching for something.

The girl standing at the intersection came into his sight. Yamamiya Matsukori was still dressed in forest style, with a light green plaid long skirt and a dark cardigan, and a white velvet scarf around her neck.

She turned around and caught Matsueda Jun's eye. A surprised smile crossed her eyes, and the girl stood still, waving at him from across the street.

Like a tree coming from the forest to the city, it blooms calmly with a quiet fragrance.

Jun Matsueda thought of the haiku on his Chinese language test report card.

Three days have passed since we last saw the world filled with cherry blossoms.
