Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 223 Where is the Rose-Colored Youth?

On April 5th, the first day of the new semester, Jun Matsueda got up a little earlier than usual.

The living room was very quiet. The golden shaded cat was sleeping in its nest, and even Jun Matsueda couldn't wake it up even when he was cooking in the kitchen.

After breakfast, I checked my outfit one last time in front of the mirror: collar, buttons, cuffs, and tie.
No problem, time to go out.

Riding on a bicycle, the April breeze was so gentle that Jun Matsueda no longer needed a cold hat and even took off his gloves.

The green of the street became eye-catching, and the white fluff of the dandelions on the roadside was blown by the wind, floating in front of him into the sky outside the traffic light.

Normally, Jun Matsueda would turn left at the last intersection, and then he would see the school gate on his left, but today he chose to go straight and parked on the side of the road in front of Toei Kugayama Apartments.

In less than two minutes, the person he was waiting for appeared.

"Brother Chun!" The girl in school uniform appeared in front of him, carrying a bag, and said, "Good morning—"

"The first day of school is so full of energy."

Jun Matsueda smiled and glanced at the school uniform on Aya Miyamura. The sailor suit shirt had a light yellow color, which matched the spring atmosphere perfectly.

"Let's go to school!" The girl walked into the path on the left, and he followed her pushing his bicycle.

"Are there any people from your junior high school in the new class?" Jun Matsueda asked the girl next to him.

Cai-chan had told him about the arrangements for new students. March 22nd was the new student orientation session at Yugaoka. The girl went alone and bought textbooks, uniforms, sportswear, shoes, etc.

However, the uniform size was measured on site, so she did not receive the school uniform package until April 1st, along with the class division results.

"There are one or two, but the relationship is just average. It's better to make some new friends."

The two walked out of the path and saw a long slope in front of them. They turned left at the intersection and saw the gate of Yuqiu High School at the top of the slope.

The girl's excited pace quickened a bit, and Matsueda Jun had to increase the strength of pushing the cart. He nodded in response to the students who greeted him on the road.

"Jun-niang is very popular." Miyamura Aya observed for a while, "I want to be like Jun-niang, standing at the top of the school food chain and enjoying a rosy youth!"

"Putting aside the fact that I was at the top of the school food chain, my high school life was definitely not rosy."

The rosy life of a Tokyo high school student should be filled with club activities, weekend dates, and wandering around Akihabara with friends after school. It shouldn't be like him, who just joins a random club to mess around, works part-time after school and on weekends, and even starts reading university biology textbooks for competitions.

"Then I'll just have to enjoy Chun's rosy youth together~"

The girl shook the phone in her hand, which turned into a group chat interface. Judging from the avatars, it was Haruka Mochizuki, Tomoka Tomatsu, and Maki Yamami.

"Why did you bring them together?" Jun Matsueda felt a little strange in his heart.

"Of course, it's to help me adapt to high school life faster. If I have any questions, I can ask them directly in the group."

Aya Miyamura put her right hand on Jun Matsueda's shoulder, opened her phone camera, took a selfie and sent it to the group.

"Chun and I are already at the school gate~"

"So early~" Tomatsu Tomoka came back quickly. In fact, she was already in the classroom.

"Good luck in high school, Aya-chan~" Yamami Moki sent an emoji of a bird flapping its wings.

Mochizuki Yao did not reply. It was unclear whether this guy was on his way back or still wandering around the world.

"Since you want to adapt to high school life, why don't you add me to the group?" Jun Matsueda suddenly realized this problem.

"Because Chun-ge's experience can't be learned~" The two walked into the school gate, and the girl stuck out her tongue at him.

"I have to attend the opening ceremony later, so I'm going to the classroom first." Aya Miyamura carried her bag and walked into the teaching building first, leaving Jun Matsueda to walk to the bicycle shed alone.

After parking his bike, he stood in front of the notice board to check his class.

"Class 6, Grade 2, the same as the message received." He saw several familiar names among the class members.

When we received the class information on April 1st, the original Class 2, Grade 1 group was in an uproar for quite a while. At first, everyone thought it was someone's April Fool's Day prank.

Class 6 of Grade 2 should be on the third floor, right?

Jun Matsueda walked into the teaching building. The corridor on the first floor was bustling with people. Freshmen were looking for their classes, and the noisy sounds surrounded him.

However, the first floor had nothing to do with him now. Matsueda Jun walked up the stairs without stopping and went straight to the third floor.

There were obviously fewer people on the third floor. After all, it was still early. Jun Matsueda found the classroom of Class 6, Grade 2 and entered through the front door.

The girl with short black hair was sitting in the last row, and her eyes met his unexpectedly. They were the only two people in the empty classroom.

Jun Matsueda suddenly had an illusion that time seemed to have not passed. He, still a freshman, walked into the classroom on the first floor and met her who had also just enrolled.

Outside the window is the spring sunshine, and fresh air pours in from the open window. Tomatsu Tomoka's smile is like a cherry blossom that cannot bear its own weight and blooms in the breeze.

"Matsueda-san, it's a new year, and we meet again."

"Nice to meet you again. It seems your method is indeed effective." Jun Matsueda walked to the podium and looked at the seating chart. His seat was the same as it was in his freshman year of high school. "Even your seat hasn't changed?"

"Since our homeroom teacher is Ms. Kominato, we should have our seats arranged as usual." The girl reached out and patted the desk next to her. "I've already wiped down Matsueda-san's desk and chairs."

"Thank you." He walked to his seat and took out the second-year textbook from his schoolbag. A girl he didn't know walked into the classroom. It seemed that she was a new classmate.

"Wow, Yuka's in Class 6 too? That's great!" The girl found her seat and sat down. "I was a little scared because it's all new classmates."

While the girls were chatting, other people came into the classroom one after another. Some were people Jun Matsueda knew, and some were not. The first day of the second year began like this.

When the bell rang, Xiaominato Shengzi walked into the classroom. She wrote her name on the blackboard and turned to bow to the audience.

"I'm Xiaominato Shengzi, and I'm very happy to be the homeroom teacher of Class 6, Grade 2. I'll be spending the next two years with you all. Please take care of me~"

Applause and cheers from students rang out from the audience. Jun Matsueda looked out the window. On the lawn outside the teaching building, a school worker was concentrating on pruning bushes with shears. Sunlight leaked through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled on the brim of the middle-aged man's hat.

On the road next to the man, the freshmen were walking towards the auditorium, the girls' light yellow sailor uniforms fluttering. Matsueda Jun saw Miyamura Aya's smiling face, as lively and vivid as a deer under the sky.

A rosy youth?
Jun Matsueda remembered the girl's words. Perhaps he now has enough time to pursue such things?

The bell rang and the classroom became lively. Jun Matsueda walked out the back door. The sun was shining brightly today, perfect weather for sunbathing.

He stood on the balcony at the end of the corridor and watched the school's wild cats chasing butterflies and diving into the freshly trimmed bushes.

The sound of the door opening was heard from the Class 4, Grade 3 classroom behind him, and a girl's footsteps were heard, stopping behind Jun Matsueda.

"Matsueda-san?" Yamamimi Moki's voice was hesitant, with an unconcealable surprise.

Jun Matsueda turned around and looked at the girl bathing in the sun. She smiled and waved.

"In the new year, let's work hard together~"

But where is the rosy youth?
Jun Matsueda felt like he had no idea what to do.
