Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 141 They Couldn't Refuse
Jun Matsueda looked at the girl standing at the traffic light. After the green light came on, he walked towards Yamami Maki.

"Is Yamami-senpai's cold healed?"

She shook her head. "It's much better, but I still have a cough."

The girl tugged at the scarf around her neck, perhaps because she was afraid of the cold, or perhaps because she wanted to adjust it to a better-looking position.

"Then you should pay more attention to rest. The weather has been so cold recently. Last time at the gym, I advised you to go back early."

Perhaps because he had been with Haruka Mochizuki for a long time, Jun Matsueda unconsciously started taking care of the child.

Yamami Maki smiled with her lips pursed. She had seen the glimpse of the person in front of her several times by the window of the cafe, but today was the first time she came into contact with the real Jun Matsueda.

Of course, training sessions for the wind orchestra are not included.

"I'm wearing three layers, plus a scarf." She pulled her knitted cardigan down below her shoulders, revealing a sleeveless maxi dress and a white French-style blouse underneath.

"Besides, I didn't want to go out today. My mother had a party and insisted on taking me with her even though I clearly said I wanted to study at home." The senior student pouted slightly to express her dissatisfaction with her mother.

The two stood at the intersection of Setagaya, which is also a long-established wealthy area in Tokyo, and many famous actors have their homes here.

"Senior, you'd better take care of your health. After all, you haven't recovered from your cold yet." Matsueda Jun let her go for the time being.

"What a coincidence to meet Matsueda-san here." Yamami Moki knew that his home was not here.

"I'm here looking for a part-time job and I'm thinking about how to solve the problem of lunch."

"Part-time job. I'm a little curious about what Matsueda-san's job is like."

The girl did not feel that there was a tragically thick barrier between them. She knew that many of her friends were working, and people like her were actually a minority.

"Soft-boiled egg and soy sauce rice balls, 280 yen after tax, thank you for your patronage~" Jun Matsueda explained the situation on the spot with a standard smile.

A girl's sweet laughter rang out at the deserted intersection, and the red lights in the hearts of passers-by turned green.

"I'm going to have lunch too. Would you like to join me, Matsueda-san?"

When the green traffic light at the intersection turned red again, Yamami Moki invited her and tightened her dark green cardigan.

"Isn't Senior Yamami going to a party?" Jun Matsueda looked around at the intersection and didn't find any store that looked safe.

"Actually, we had a party this morning. The aunts were getting ready to have lunch, so I sneaked out." The girl stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Where are you going, senior? I don't want to eat anything too expensive." Jun Matsueda was afraid that he could avoid the wallet assassin on the roadside, but he couldn't avoid her in front of him.

"Don't worry, come with me." Yamami Moki blinked.

"Does Matsueda-san have any dietary restrictions?"

The two walked on the road. Yamamiya Maki's steps were not big, and the hem of her plaid skirt swayed gently, like the wind blowing through the branches on the roadside.

Matsueda Jun shook his head. "I was taught not to be picky about food since I was a child."

"That's good~"

The girl took him to the residential area of ​​Komazawa and turned into an alley.

There was a white sign on the wall by the roadside, with the word "Kappa" written on it in a simple way.

After entering the small shop, Yamami Maki sat down at the wooden table at the back, and Matsueda Jun sat opposite her.

Without any ordering process, the middle-aged man standing in the semi-open kitchen quickly brought two bowls of beef stew and two small plates of cucumbers.

"Xiaomo is here again." The man stood by the wooden table and gave the girl a nearly imperceptible smile. "A small bowl of rice?"

Yamami Moji nodded obediently, "Hello uncle, it's still a small bowl of rice."

"Where is your friend?" the man looked at Matsueda Jun.

"Matsueda-san is a boy, so he probably eats a lot, right? But uncle's shop always has more rice than other places, so I recommend the medium bowl."

Yamami Maki and the middle-aged man looked at the boy in front of them, while Matsueda Jun was observing the large bowl of ogani in front of him. "I'll listen to what Yamami-senpai says."

The man nodded with satisfaction and brought two bowls of rice, one large and one small.

There were no other customers in the restaurant. After the dishes were served, the middle-aged man ran outside to smoke.

"This shop is run by my uncle, he is a friend of my father." Yamamiya Moki gave a brief introduction and lowered her head to eat.

Junya Matsueda picked up the beef from his bowl. He didn't ask why the owner of a small restaurant was a friend of Yami-senpai's father, nor did he ask why the restaurant didn't require ordering. He swallowed a mouthful of rice and picked up his water glass to drink. "Delicious."

"Really?" The girl nodded proudly. "They only sell beef stew and rice here. They don't even sell alcohol."

Jun Matsueda gave a thumbs up, and the man smoking at the door turned around and looked at them.

Yamami Maki ate very slowly, coughing from time to time. Matsueda Jun looked up at her a few times and quickened his eating pace.

"Sorry." She smiled helplessly, "I'll go eat over there."

"That's not the reason." Matsueda Jun shook his head and put down his bowl and chopsticks. "I've finished eating, so there's no need to worry, Senior."

The girl who was about to get up sat down again. Matsueda Jun stood at the door of the store and said a few words to the middle-aged man, then disappeared.

"Has Matsueda left?" Yamami Moki asked the man at the door, and he shook his head.

A few minutes later, Jun Matsueda came back with a bag of brown sugar.

"Where did Matsueda-san go just now?" Yamami Moki looked at him curiously, but the girl didn't see clearly what was in his hand.

"A nearby convenience store." He walked into the kitchen and cut the ginger into slices on the chopping board.

The unmelted brown sugar and ginger slices floated in the pot. Songzhi Jun stirred them with chopsticks, covered the pot and waited for the water to boil.

He sat back in his seat and said, "Brown sugar ginger water, it might be helpful for colds and coughs."

"Are you cooking this for me?" Yamamiya Moki was a little surprised.

"Or is it for the store manager?" Jun Matsueda raised his eyebrows. There was a scarlet spark outside the door, and the man was still smoking.

"Thank you so much for troubling you." The girl felt a little embarrassed. She continued to eat with her head down, trying to hide her smile.

After Yamami Maki finished her ogiri, Matsueda Jun brought her steaming hot ginger water, also in a small bowl.

The girl drank from a spoon in small sips, a warm blush appearing on her face.

After finishing a bowl of brown sugar ginger water, Yamamiya cleared her throat and said, "My throat isn't itchy anymore."

"As long as it works." Matsueda Jun nodded.

After the meal, it was naturally time to pay the bill. Jun Matsueda took out his mobile phone to pay.

"This store only accepts cash," the girl reminded him.

"Ozoshi is 750 yen, rice is 150 yen." The man walked into the store with a hint of cigarette smoke on him.

Matsueda Jun felt his pocket and said, "I don't have any cash."

"Then I'll pay for it first. Matsueda-san can just wait for me at the door."

The middle-aged man looked at the back of Jun Matsueda standing at the door and took the banknotes handed to him by the girl.

"This boy is not bad." He whispered.

Yamamiya Moji was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you, uncle, I know."

The girl walked to the door, put her scarf back on, and the two of them walked towards the road.

"I have already transferred the meal money to Senior."

"Does Matsueda have any plans for the afternoon?" Yamami Moki didn't care about the 900 yen. Even if the number was increased a thousand times, she wouldn't be upset.

"I have another interview at 3:30." Jun Matsueda confirmed the time in his mind.

"So it's free until half past three?" When they reached the open area, the wind picked up again, and the girl tied her scarf tighter.

He nodded, and Yamami Maki, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Then Matsueda-san, can you accompany me for a walk?"

From meeting, eating to paying, Matsueda Jun followed the girl's suggestions. He had been curious before whether Yamami Matsukio had ever been rejected.

The girl in front of me has a smile as beautiful as a blooming camellia, and the blush on her face makes people feel warm even in the cold wind.

Jun Matsueda looked at her white scarf.

With a smile like that, it's only natural that you've never been rejected.
