Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 202 Their Circumstances Are Not the Same

The recruitment promotional video for Haneda High School spread quickly among students in Tokyo.

"Jun-nii! It's all because of your promotional video. Many of my classmates suddenly want to apply to Yuqiu too!"

Aya Miyamura complained to Jun Matsueda on the phone, and he could only look at Natsumi Imokawa who was sitting next to him and smile helplessly.

"The people in the news department are so amazing at what they produce. There's nothing I can do about it."

The students at the conference table laughed, and the girl on the other end of the phone sounded a little flustered.

"Eh? Is there anyone with Chun? Are you on speakerphone?"

"I'm in the news department right now, and I'm not on speakerphone."

The girl hung up the phone immediately. Matsueda Jun glanced at the screen and put the phone back in his pocket.

"Everyone, take a look at what you'd like to eat for dinner tonight. We still have some club funds left over for this year."

Tsushima Kou sat at the front of the conference table. The News Department held a meeting during the lunch break to summarize the work on the promotional video that had been completed.

"The school is quite satisfied with the results of this promotional video, so we don't have to worry about funding for next year!" He announced another good news, and cheers rang out in the room.

Natsumi Imokawa stared at the profile of Jun Matsueda. She was more curious about the phone call that the person next to her had just made than the club dinner.

Matsueda Jun turned his head and looked at the girl, "I don't have the comments you want to see on my face."

Natsumi Imokawa has been intensively browsing the comments under the promotional video these days. If someone praises it, her eyes will bend with joy and she will give it a thumbs up. If someone criticizes it, she will droop her eyebrows and quickly glance past it as if she didn't see it.

"I just heard someone mention the promotional video on the phone?" she asked cautiously.
"My cousin has always wanted to apply to Yuqiu High School. She said that because of the promotional video, there are suddenly many more people competing with her."

"Ah?" Natsumi Imokawa's expression was a little panicked, as if he really felt that he had done something wrong.

"Should I apologize to her?" The girl didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Jun Matsueda laughed, looking even more like a cunning fox than Kou Tsushima who was sitting in front of him.

The last class in the afternoon was physical education. The boys played tennis, while the girls practiced dodgeball indoors.

Jun Matsueda walked into the equipment warehouse opposite the gymnasium. He felt a little uncomfortable when swinging his racket and wanted to change it.

Waving his newly acquired racket, he walked out of the warehouse and saw Mochizuki Haruka standing at the door of the gymnasium.

"Finally out of the infirmary?"

"I also went to the classroom for biology class in the morning, but you didn't know it." Mochizuki Haruka was wearing a sports jacket and had a cold expression.

The reason she attended the biology class was simply because she knew that Jun Matsueda was going to participate in a biology competition.

"Aren't the girls playing dodgeball? Why did you run out?"

Jun Matsueda looked at the slightly opened door behind the girl. Several dodgeballs were flying around in the air, and the girls who were hit were screaming in pain as if they were in pain.

"No one will hit me anyway, so I might as well come out and see you." The girl kicked the stone at her feet.

The tennis court is right next to the gymnasium. The sounds of rackets hitting the ball and tennis balls hitting the ground repeat over and over again, becoming the background sound for the conversation between the two.

"You were not used to people looking at you before, and now that no one pays attention to you, you find it boring. What can make you happy?" Matsueda Jun swung the racket twice more, making a whistling sound.

"Because you're not by my side." Mochizuki Haruka said without hesitation, "Because you're not by my side, I'm unhappy with everything I see. It's that simple."

"Do you think that once you send me back to school, you can just wash your hands of everything?" The girl walked up to Jun Matsueda, almost pressing her face against his chest. "I've never cared about anything you've done." Jun Matsueda held onto Haruka Mochizuki's arms and pushed her away a little.

"I've said it before, you have to learn to face reality alone. Whether it's for your love or your life, this is the only way forward."

The girl looked into his eyes and said nothing more. Sakamuro Ken appeared from behind the wall.

"Matsueda, why are you changing your racket so——"

Before he could finish his words, he saw two people standing at the door of the gymnasium. Sakamuro Ken smiled awkwardly and immediately turned and left.

"Should I go back?" Matsueda Jun put down her racket. The girl said nothing. "Give Ri-san and the others some time. They'll figure out how to get along with you now."

"Give yourself some time, too."

"It's still quite cold outside, don't stay there too long."

"..." Mochizuki Haruka was silent for a while. She walked around the corner and watched Matsueda Jun walk to the boy's side, where they smiled and talked.

"Will I become the least important person in your eyes when I return to normal?"

Only the cold wind outside responded to her. The girl wrapped her coat tightly around her and turned to walk into the gymnasium.

After physical education class, it was time to go home. Jun Matsueda went back to the classroom to pack his things. He didn't plan to go home now. Firstly, he had to tutor his senior, and secondly, he had to attend a club dinner later.

Tomatsu Tomoka walked in from the back door. She wasn't wearing a coat, revealing her slender figure beneath a cardigan. Her breathing was heavy, evidently from the dodgeball game.

"Mr. Matsueda had a part-time job yesterday, right?" the girl asked him while packing her schoolbag.

"Well, I was on duty last night, and I wrote down the unfinished borrowing records in the memo for you."

"Okay!" Tomatsu Tomoka smiled and put on her coat. "Then I'll go to the Literature Museum first."

"See you tomorrow, Matsueda-san~" the girl hurried away.

Jun Matsueda gave the classroom a final check and stuffed the evolutionary biology and genetics textbooks into his schoolbag. Instead of heading towards the school gate, he walked towards the library.

After careful consideration two days ago, Yamami Maki felt that it was not appropriate to use the lunch time for tutoring. First, the time was not long enough, second, it would affect her rest, and third, it would attract the attention of Tomatsu Tomoka.

So the girl decided to skip the biology training after school and study with Jun Matsueda in the school library.

There were not many people on the top floor of the library. Yamamiya Mochi was sitting by the window, looking out the window with a vague melancholy of an adolescent girl in her eyes.

Jun Matsueda walked into the room. The senior student who heard the footsteps turned to look at him with a sweet and charming smile.

"Matsueda, I did the Olympiad selection test papers from two years ago yesterday, and my score has improved a lot."

"Thanks to your guidance, let's keep working hard together today!"

Inside the Setagaya Literary Museum, Tomatsu Tomoka frowned, while a girl in a Gothic skirt stood in front of the counter with a calm expression.

"What exactly is it about you that Matsueda-kun likes? I've been observing you for so many days, why haven't I noticed anything?"

The girl in the librarian's apron showed an impatient expression, not trying to hide her inner disgust.

"How long are you going to keep pestering me?"
