Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 3 It doesn’t matter

Matsueda Jun recorded everything he did while eavesdropping on Tomoka Matsu. After a whole weekend of thinking and analyzing, he was sure.

This dog system is still chasing me.

Although rejected by Jun Matsueda, the lingering love simulation system finds the girl who was supposed to be the object of the love simulation, and he becomes the target of the pursuit.

Jun Matsueda recalls his time with Tomatsu Yuka. They sat on the rooftop, enjoying the breeze, watching her black hair sway in the wind. After school, when they were alone, sorting through papers, the girl sitting beside him with a serene smile.

Even now, when he thinks of her every smile and frown, he still feels relaxed and peaceful in his heart.

There is such a person in the world who is willing to understand and accept the real self. Her mere existence is a great encouragement to Jun Matsueda's life.

However, they are all fake.

It’s okay, Jun Matsueda said to himself.

Life is like a play. I play other people every day, so isn't it normal for her to play the role of me now?

He walked into the classroom alone. No matter what, he still had to go to school.

There were already quite a few people in the classroom. When Jun Matsueda came in from the front door, the crowd was quiet for a moment, and then immediately became lively again.

"Matsueda-san is back." This is the discipline committee member Mizushima Miya.

"You're finally here, Matsueda!" Ken Sakamuro from the basketball club.

Jun Matsueda greeted everyone with a smile, and as soon as he sat down at his seat, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"I'm sorry, Matsueda-kun, I misunderstood you before."

"I've said it before, how could Matsueda-san be that kind of person!"

"I always believed in pine branches!"

They stood around Jun Matsueda's seat, forming an impenetrable wall, with apologetic expressions on their faces.

Jun Matsueda had no choice but to repeat it over and over again.

"It's ok."

"It's fine."

"I don't take it to heart."

"I'm not that weak!"

Seeing their faces filled with smiles again, Jun Matsueda felt his stomach tighten.

Who had questioned him after school and who had put thumbtacks in his shoe cabinet?

I feel sick.

This is Japanese society. All anger and injustice will be eliminated by apologies.

There's no other way. Making everyone happy is the price of choosing a convenient life. No matter how impatient you are, you can't show it.

Jun Matsueda clenched his left hand, then released it, and the smile on his face became even brighter and more fascinating.

The class bell rang and everyone returned to their seats. Only then did Matsueda Jun see the girl sitting on his left.

When the freshmen first entered school, no one was surprised that Jun Matsueda became the class monitor.

When running for vice-class monitor, many girls raised their hands, and Tomatsu Tomoka was the most unexpected one.

Tomatsu Tomoka, who was sitting to the left of Matsueda Jun, smiled with her lips pursed, her arms glowing white: "I want to challenge myself too."

Tomatsu Tomoka was still sitting on his left, watching him quietly. Matsueda Jun had an illusion that even if an earthquake struck, the walls collapsed, and the classroom was soaked in blood, she would still remain like this, sitting in her chair and watching him quietly.

"Good morning, Tomatsu-san~" Matsueda Jun smiled politely.

The girl smiled back in kind.

Xiao Minato Shengzi stepped into the classroom, "Class is about to start——"

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye after Jun Matsueda returned to school.

Nothing unexpected happened, and Jun Matsueda continued his performance. He began to pay attention and no longer performed so perfectly.

He felt that his life hadn't changed much, but even Sakamuro Ken, who only knew how to play basketball, noticed that—

When the get out of class was over, Sakamuro pulled him aside and asked quietly, "Matsueda, what's going on between you and Tomatsu-san? Didn't you chat often before?"

The sense of distance between Jun Matsueda and Tomoka Tomatsu.

In fact, after returning to school, he saw Tomatsu Tomoka more often.

When eating in the cafeteria, Tomatsu Tomoka would sit at the next table with other girls; during physical education class, the girl would walk around casually in front of him in her sportswear; when he was studying in the library, she would look for books on the bookshelf behind Matsueda Jun.

Jun Matsue suddenly realized that in every scene from his memories, there was the quiet shadow of the girl Tomatsu. It wasn't that he saw Tomatsu Yuka more often, but rather that Jun Matsue was no longer used to her presence.

After returning to Uchika High, Matsueda Jun wanted to keep his distance from Tomatsu Tomoka, and the two no longer chatted. Even when Tomatsu Tomoka took the initiative to talk to him, he would only respond politely or make excuses to leave. In this regard, both of them acted normally.

After all, they are all good at acting.

"Because...you were spreading gossip about me and girls before, so I think I should keep my distance." This is how Jun Matsueda explained.

"Is this the trouble of handsome guys?" As Sakamuro Ken sighed, Tomatsu Tomoka walked into the classroom silently.

When school was over, Tomatsu Tomoka stopped Matsueda Jun who was about to leave and said, "Matsueda-kun, Mr. Kominato said we need to sort out the materials from the last class meeting."

Matsueda Jun put down his backpack and followed her to the reference room. The two walked down the corridor, one in front of the other, neither speaking.

There were still quite a few students in the school right after school. Boys passing by would sneak a peek at Tomatsu Tomoka, and both boys and girls would sneak a peek at Matsueda Jun.

They are both very famous among the freshmen. At the opening ceremony of Hanaoka, Tomatsu Tomoka was the top student in the entrance exam, and Matsueda Jun was the freshman representative, standing in front of all the freshmen.

There are many people who admire them, but few who have the courage to pursue them. The two are the reason for each other.

"Mochizuki, Mochizuki, the boy you mentioned before..." Matsueda Jun heard people talking behind him.

"Tap tap tap", he heard a burst of hurried footsteps. The girl walked quickly in front of him, looked back at him, and then went back "tap tap tap".

"Mochizuki! He's so handsome!! He's the type that I'd want him to wait for me under the cherry tree!" The girl behind him exclaimed to her companions.

Looking at the moon, Jun Matsueda dug into his memory of this surname. Tomatsu Tomoka quickened her pace, and he could only keep up.

When they arrived at the information room, Jun Matsueda closed the door to block out the noisy sounds from the corridor. The two of them sat down at opposite ends of the table and lowered their heads to organize the documents.

"How have you been lately, Matsueda-kun?"

Jun Matsueda stopped what he was doing and looked at Tomatsu Tomoka. The girl didn't look up and was still tidying up.

"It's fine. Everyone cares about me, and my boss has apologized. Life feels pretty much the same as before, and it's very fulfilling." Out of politeness, he asked, "Where's Tomatsu-san?"

"I'm not okay." The girl said softly with her head down.

Matsueda Jun had sharp ears and eyes, but he still pretended not to hear clearly. Only a fool would ask why. Is it his fault that Tomatsu Tomoka is not doing well?

"I'm saying, I'm having a hard time." Tomatsu Tomoka raised her head and said loudly, tears streaming down her face. "Every time I hear you call me Tomatsu-san, I feel so sad that I want to cry."

"Do you know how hard it has been for me these days?" The girl stood up in tears and sat beside him, lying on the table looking at Matsueda Jun like a kitten that had not been weaned.

Jun Matsueda didn't say anything or look at her. His face was calm as he continued to organize the information.

"I'm sorry, Jun-kun, I shouldn't have spread rumors and slandered you. I regret posting your photo on the forum and causing you to be suspended from school. I just like you so much. Every time I'm alone with you, I can't help but want to get close to you and touch you." Tomatsu Tomoka said, grabbing Matsueda Jun's right hand with her left hand and stroking her face.

It felt great to the touch, and the guy was calmer than he expected.

Tomatsu Tomoka continued, "But I know that Jun-kun doesn't like me that much. It doesn't matter, I can try. But Jun-kun always remains unmoved, and I can't help it, I can't help but want you to rely on me more..."

As she spoke, the girl placed Matsueda Jun's right hand in front of her, looking at the bony fingers with a confused look in her eyes. She first licked it with her tongue, then took his hand in her mouth and placed both hands under the table.

This small mouth and soft tongue spoke at the freshman ceremony, answered questions in class, and gently rejected the confessions of many innocent boys. Now, it was in the library, sucking on Jun Matsueda's fingers.

Jun Matsueda didn't say anything, pulled his right hand out of the girl's mouth, and wiped it clean with his left hand using a piece of paper.

"why?"

Tomatsu Tomoka thought that Matsueda Jun didn't believe her and sat up hurriedly. "Jun-kun, I really did this because I like you too much. When you're not by my side, all I can think about is your image. This is the first time I've fallen in love with someone else. I really can't control myself. I keep thinking about how to make you rely on me more and like me more..."

You almost succeeded.

But that's not what Matsueda Jun wants to ask. "Just because I like someone, can I not care about their thoughts and hurt them by any means necessary? I can't do that, so why can Tomatsu-san?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. What should I do to make Jun-kun forgive me?" Tomatsu Tomoka looked up and looked at the window on the wall.

"If I jump from here, Jun-kun, will you forgive me?" the girl said as she was about to stand up, and Matsueda Jun could only grab her.

He couldn't deal with this kind of person in his previous life. He could hurt others and himself for love.

Tomatsu Tomoka turned around and looked at Matsueda Jun, holding his hand instead, smiling through her tears, "As expected, Jun-kun still cares about me. Knowing that you still care about me, I feel at ease. When Jun-kun distanced himself from me these past few days, I felt like my heart was breaking."

Jun Matsueda sighed.

Originally, the story might have ended up in a not-so-perfect ending, but one where the two would torture each other until they were old.

However, with a "bang", a girl opened the door and walked in. She walked straight between the two of them, pulled their hands apart, and slapped Tomatsu Yuka hard.

Wangyue Yao uttered four words.

"Dance, bitch."
