Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 33 The Bystander (Please continue reading!)
It's August now, and the scorching sun shows no sign of leaving Tokyo untouched. The outdoor environment feels like walking through a steam oven. The heat has burned away any impurities in the sky, leaving only a blue background and a scribbled cloud pattern.

"Matsueda-san, are you waiting for someone?"

There were only Yamami Maki and Matsueda Jun in the corridor, and the cicadas outside the corridor were chirping weakly.

"No, I was just thinking about some random things."

After only a few minutes in the hallway, Jun Matsueda could already feel the heat seeping into his internal organs. The girl before him seemed unaffected. She wore a light blue slip dress and a beige cardigan, revealing only her delicate collarbone and half-covered fair shoulders.

This woman is so amazing that she can go out wearing two pieces of clothing without batting an eyelid even in this kind of weather. Matsueda Jun felt a natural respect for Yamami Matsukio.

He peeked behind the girl, but Yamami Maki turned sideways, blocking his view.

"Matsueda-san, are you curious about what's behind me?"

"No, no, I just don't want to see knives or bento boxes or anything like that." Jun Matsueda thought of Tomatsu Tomoka who used to appear regularly outside his house.

"Knife? Bento?" Yamami Moki lifted the hair beside her ear and took out the gift hidden behind her back.

"Matsueda-san, I haven't thanked you enough for convincing Tomoka to return to the wind band. This is a thank you gift. My mom and I baked some cookies together yesterday. I shared them with the other members, and they all gave them great reviews."

"Thank you for the gift, senior." If it was something else, Jun Matsueda might have refused it, but he always accepted food.

"Okay, then I'll go in first. It's hot outside, so please take care of yourself, Matsueda." Yamamiya Maki bowed slightly, turned around and walked into the classroom.

Jun Matsueda looked at her back. Yamamimi Maki was a girl as her name suggested, gentle and polite, a lady from a noble family, like the jasmine blooming in the mountains, whose fragrance did not need to be known to outsiders, as long as she appreciated it herself.

Yamami Maki usually calls her classmates and juniors by their last names or other titles like "Jun" or "Jiang" to make them feel more intimate. However, when she calls him, she calls him Matsueda-san. He knows that it is because of Tomatsu Tomoka's pursuit, and Yamami Maki wants to avoid suspicion.

If Jun Matsueda is the best actor who has done a very good job on the surface, then Maki Yamami is the true flower of the mountain who is consistent in appearance and heart.

The heat in the corridor decreased with the departure of Yamami Moki, and increased with the appearance of Imokawa Natsumi.

Natsumi Imokawa was wearing a yellow short-sleeved dress today. The hem just reached her knees and was tied with a white belt, which made her chest look very large. A camera was hanging around her neck, shaking.

"Um, Matsueda-san, Yumi-chan wants you to come into the clubroom."

Jun Matsueda suddenly realized that Natsumi Imokawa also called him that among his circle of acquaintances.

"Are you afraid of me?" Matsueda Jun was too lazy to act and asked her directly.

Natsumi Imokawa was startled, lowering her head and hunching her shoulders like a frightened quail. "No, it's just that seeing Matsueda-kun reminds me of the clubroom."

Matsueda Jun was a little helpless, "I told you not to worry about it."

The girl lowered her head and said nothing. Matsueda Jun picked up the camera and put it in her hand, "You should still talk to me like this."

As soon as she turned on the camera, Imokawa Natsumi's expression changed, and she stared at the screen intently. "Yumei-chan said she wants to discuss the filming plan with you, so hurry in."

Matsueda Jun was amazed, feeling like he was watching a Peking Opera face-changing performance. "Why didn't you join the photography club?"

"Photography club?" Imokawa Natsumi looked up at him. "There's nothing interesting about the photography club."

"Don't you like taking pictures?" Jun Matsueda glanced at the camera lens and felt the girl's gaze on him through the imaging device.

"The photography club is just a bunch of self-admiring guys with no aesthetic sense. They only think about shooting literary short films to become famous overnight. It's meaningless." When she talked about this kind of thing, her voice rose a few degrees, and her tone was like a child laughing at a friend's pirated Kamen Rider belt.

"The news department led by Tsushima-senpai is quite interesting. I can shoot all kinds of interesting things. The bickering before the band training just now felt very youthful and real!" The girl came up to him with the camera and showed him the video she had just taken.

Because the camera was still attached to his neck, Matsueda Jun couldn't easily reach it, so he had to get closer to see it. The image on the monitor and the plump, soft flesh beneath the camera were magnified before his eyes.

Jun Matsueda watched the entire video as if nothing had happened, and then the two of them walked back to the club room together.

The heat in the corridor seemed to be getting stronger.

Hiromi Seshita was waiting for the two of them behind the clubroom. Natsumi Imokawa walked up to her, put down her camera, and muttered under her breath, "It's all Hiromi-chan's fault. She wouldn't go find Matsueda-san herself, and made me go instead."

"It's more interesting to get along with him," Yumi-chan smiled nonchalantly before asking Matsueda Jun, "What does Matsueda think about filming the brass band arc?"

"Why don't we listen to Imokawa's suggestion?" Jun Matsue recalled the girl's enthusiastic demeanor in the corridor just now.

"Oh?" Seshita Yumi rolled her eyes, feeling that the two of them seemed to have a chemical reaction. "What did Natsumi say?"

"Hmm," Natsumi Imokawa poked her left index finger repeatedly into the soft flesh on the outside of her thigh, a habit she had when she was thinking.

"You can treat it as a documentary. If there are no other instructions, I will record the entire process and we can just be spectators."

Realizing that she had said so many words in one breath, her face turned red again. She lowered her head to look at the camera, then raised her eyes to steal a glance at Matsueda Jun, hoping for his approval.

"It's a very safe method. Let's just be bystanders for now." Matsueda Jun nodded in agreement.

Yumi-chan just said, "I have no objection."

Natsumi Imokawa ran to rearrange the camera position, leaving the two of them there.

"Is Natsumi very interesting?" asked Seshita Yumi suddenly.

"Imokawa-san is indeed very interesting. It makes me want to bully her a little bit." Matsueda Jun nodded.

As they spoke, both of them looked at the front of the classroom, their eyes never meeting.

"Right, right?" Seshita Yumi looked like she had found a like-minded person. "Matsueda, I recognize you. From now on, you can call me Yumi-chan. That's what my friends call me."

"Yumi-san is also very interesting." Matsueda Jun smiled.

"Eh? If you're interested in me, it would be boring, okay?" Yumi Seshita put her index finger on her cheek with an innocent and cute expression.

It seemed like I had met a funny person, Matsueda Jun thought.

Although Matsueda looks interesting, it seems that it is not easy to tease him, Yumi-chan secretly thought.

The two stopped talking and looked at the girl who was squatting in front of the tripod and fiddling with the camera.

Natsumi Imokawa was so focused on the camera that it took her a while to notice their gaze. Thinking she had done something wrong, she stood up in a panic, knocking the camera over with her breasts.

"My a7m4!" The girl knelt on the ground, tears about to flow.

Yumi Seshita ran over to comfort her, and Jun Matsueda stayed where he was until he heard the girl talking to herself.

"The lens and camera together cost 400,000 yen, how am I going to explain that to my mom?"

Four hundred thousand?
Jun Matsueda also walked over.

He didn't want the 400,000 yuan, but he felt sad at the thought of losing 400,000 yuan if he fell.

Tomatsu Tomoka and Yamami Maki were in the front row watching the three panicked members of the news department.

"Matsueda-kun hasn't even given me a glance since he entered the door." The girl looked at the saxophone in front of her, not knowing what she imagined the flute to be, and began to play it hard.

Yamamiya Moki stood next to her junior who had lost all hope in life and smiled wryly.

The plaintive saxophone music lingered in the office long after the song ended and everyone had left.
