Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 596 The Last School Trip
When Mochizuki Haruka pushed open the door to 507, Matsueda Jun was lying on the sofa, staring at the golden cat lying on his stomach.

A muffled thud echoed into the living room. The girl closed the security door behind her. Jinzhi let out a soft cry, then jumped off the sofa, stepping on the boy's abs, and gracefully walked to its owner's feet.

Jun Matsue sat up and turned to look at the girl who had walked behind the sofa with a tense expression.

"You're back so quickly? Why didn't you message me to let me know?"

"Why should I talk to you?" Mochizuki Haruka snorted. "How would I know if you're at home or on a date with Tomatsu Yuka?"

It was just past four o'clock. In order to get back to the apartment as quickly as possible, the girl had arranged for two cars to be parked in front of the movie theater. One car was to take Aya home, and the other car was to take her directly to the apartment.

Fortunately, Jun Matsue stayed safely in the living room, preventing her bad mood from spreading further.

When did Songzhi return?

"A little after three o'clock."

Mochizuki Haruka pressed down on the boy's shoulders and pressed her body against his through the back of the sofa.

The girl lowered her head, closed her eyes, and flared her nostrils, sniffing from Matsueda Jun's hair, earlobes, and neck all the way to his chest.

"...There's no unpleasant smell." She opened her eyes, nodding almost imperceptibly. "You took a shower after you got back?"

Matsueda Jun raised his hand to fan himself. "In this hot weather, you should take a shower when you get back, right?"

"You're smart to know what's good for you." Mochizuki Haruka rubbed her head against his cheek, letting the boy smell her scent.

What did you and Tomatsu Yuka do this afternoon?

"It's just purchasing supplies to prepare for the school trip." Jun Matsueda touched the swaying black hair in front of his eyes. "The things are all there."

The girl then stopped what she was doing and looked at the other side of the sofa—a large handbag was placed at the foot of the small sofa near the balcony, its bulging shape suggesting it was filled with many things.

Mochizuki Haruka walked over in her slippers, and the cat followed in her footsteps.

Unzipping the handbag, the girl saw a shrunken, deflated swim ring and a medicated plaster stuck in the gap. She casually rummaged through it and pulled out a corner of a dark blue racing swimsuit.

"Does Tomatsu Yuka wear such ugly things?"

“That’s for the class to use as a spare.” Jun Matsue watched her movements. “Don’t get the swimsuit dirty or torn, or you’ll have to wear this.”

Mochizuki Haruka tilted her head back, her expression somewhat disdainful. "How could I possibly only bring one item?"

"So all you did was buy these things and nothing else?"

The boy's gaze fell on Jinzhi, who was leaning against the bag. "Buying so many things must take a lot of time, you know."

It's too risky to talk about accompanying Tomatsu to buy a swimsuit or something.

The girl zipped up her handbag, having lost interest in inspecting the items. She sat down next to Jun Matsueda and picked up the school trip brochure he had placed on the table.

"Leaving next Thursday morning?" She nuzzled the boy's shoulder, turning a page in her hand.

"Yes, the usual four days and three nights, returning to Tokyo on Sunday."

Mochizuki Haruka frowned. Does that mean they can't do it next weekend either?

Looks like I'll have to book a bigger room for my school trip... She stretched out her index finger and traced it across the route map in the brochure.

"Atami, Ito..." the girl murmured.

“This time it’s a full-fledged coastal trip.” Jun Matsue gently brushed a strand of hair from the corner of her lips.

"Mochizuki has traveled all over the world, so is he not interested in these little waves in the bay of Izu?"

"That's not quite right." The girl gently bit her finger near her lip. "Does climbing Mount Fuji mean you can look down on a small mound next to a park slide?"

"And it doesn't matter where we go, what matters is being with Songzhi."

Closing the instruction booklet in her hand, Mochizuki Haruka looked up. "Matsue, a school trip isn't like being at school."

"Don't expect me to go easy on Tomatsu Yuka."

Before the boy could answer, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom, taking off her short-sleeved shirt on the way.

"I need to take a shower too. Songzhi, go next door and get me my clothes."

The girl's figure disappeared down the corridor. Jun Matsue picked up the lemon tea on the table, took a sip, and stared at the pale sunlight on the ceiling. His mind, which had been somewhat vacant, was once again filled with thoughts.

Thinking only about the girl in front of him might indeed allow him to temporarily let go of his burdens, but what if there is more than one person standing in front of him?
Even on the last night before the school trip, Jun Matsueda still hadn't come up with a solution.

"Songzhi, what are you doing, so absentmindedly?"

The boy was brought back to his senses when a fair, delicate hand waved in front of him.

He was holding the clothes he had just folded. Mochizuki Haruka stood by the suitcase and looked over with a puzzled expression.

Jun Matsue smiled. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the weather."

It's been raining on and off in Tokyo these past few days, and it's currently the rainy season in Japan. So the weather forecast for Higashi-Izu for the next few days is like the unpredictable face of a girl in love, changing back and forth between sunshine and rain.

"Anyway, the school trip arrangements aren't going to change, so what's the point of worrying about it?" The girl walked up to him. "Aren't you bringing a suitcase?"

The boy shook his head. "I don't have that many clothes, a bag will do."

"Then you pack for me." Mochizuki Haruka pulled him to the suitcase. "It's so annoying to put all these bottles and jars away."

Jun Matsue looked down at the girl's suitcase. Besides various clothes, there were also hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and various other exquisite-looking items.

"What's this?" He picked up a bottle of liquid in blue packaging and shook it.

"That's shampoo, next to it is face wash, and there's also a hair dryer and moisturizer, etc."

"...It's only a few days, why are you making it look like a vacation?" Jun Matsue helped her pack.

"I didn't bring much makeup with me!" the girl pouted.

Skincare products were placed in the compartment of the suitcase lid, and hats were placed in the space on the side of the clothes to prevent them from being crushed... It took Jun Matsue two minutes to organize the space inside the suitcase.

“Matsue has such a stay-at-home husband vibe~” Mochizuki Haruka knelt on the back of the squatting boy and rubbed against him affectionately.

"Have you put all your things in?" Jun Matsueda was already used to her physical contact. "I don't see a swimsuit."

The boy stood up, and the girl behind him slid to the ground. He picked her up and placed her next to the sofa.

"Speaking of which, haven't the swim trunks and sun-protective clothing you bought for me arrived yet?"

"It'll be there soon." Mochizuki Haruka glanced at her phone lying to the side. "I filled in the wrong address for you before, so I had to have my aunt bring it over."

Jun Matsueda blinked. "Do we really need to bother her with something like this?"

"And let her bring Golden Branch back to the manor as well, since she can't take it on the school trip."

Just as she finished speaking, a knock came at the entrance and the girl's phone rang at the same time. Mochizuki Haruka hung up the phone. "It seems Auntie has arrived."

"I'll go open the door." The boy walked towards the door.

Upon opening the metal door, Jun Matsue was greeted by his aunt, who was dressed in revealing clothing.

The close-fitting pure black cotton vest is a halter-neck sleeveless style, highlighting the woman's graceful swan neck. The bottom is a washed denim shorts, the light blue-gray fabric making the skin of her thighs look exceptionally white. Because she doesn't exercise much, compared to her niece's perfect slender legs, her long legs are a bit fleshy, but they are still dazzlingly white in the sunlight in the corridor.

"It's been so long since I've seen Auntie." The boy bent down and took out slippers for her.

However, Wang Yuehua gave a soft hum—the voice was exactly the same as her niece's—and blocked the boy's movements.

"I will do it myself."

Jun Matsue turned to the side and watched her bend down to change her shoes, take two thin bags out of the paper bag in her hand, and pat them into her arms.

“Your swimming trunks and sun protection shirt!” “…” The woman walked towards the sofa. Watching her back, Jun Matsuoka felt a little strange.

Why does it feel like my aunt doesn't like him a bit today?

Could it be that there's some business trouble? The boy walked towards the women of the Wangyue family.

"Xiaoyao's swimsuit." Wang Yuehua sat down next to her niece and handed her the paper bag. "Your suitcase is packed so neatly. Have you packed everything?"

Mochizuki Haruka nodded, proudly puffing out her chest, "Matsue helped me tidy up~"

The woman with the gentle expression paused for a moment, then looked at the boy who sat down on the other side of the girl.

"Songzhi is really good at taking care of people!"

"..." Jun Matsue touched his right cheek where he had been glared at; her gaze wasn't particularly menacing.

"Is Auntie in a bad mood today?"

"No way!" Wang Yuehua turned her face away, like the kind of arrogant girl in the class who throws a tantrum over the smallest thing.

Is it a belated puberty? The boy wondered.

"I feel like Matsueda-kun is thinking something very rude..." Auntie turned her head again and squinted at him.

Mochizuki Haruka closed her suitcase and looked at the transparent bag in Matsueda Jun's hand. "Matsueda, have you seen the swim trunks and sun protection clothing?"

"I haven't had time to open it yet."

The girl pouted, "Then let's just put it on and see."

So Jun Matsue took the bag and went into the bedroom, while the women of the Mochizuki family watched his figure disappear behind the door.

A few minutes later, the boy, having changed his clothes, returned to the living room, where the aunt and niece, who had been chatting quietly, both turned to look at him.

The boy wore a zipped-up silver-gray sun-protective shirt and silver-black swim trunks. The sun-protective shirt resembled a sports jacket, giving off a neat and sporty vibe, but it didn't have many distinctive features.

The key element is the form-fitting swim trunks; the black fabric tightly hugs the thighs, outlining defined muscle lines and highlighting the unique strength and physique of men.

"Doesn't it feel too tight?" Mochizuki Haruka, sitting on the sofa, moved a little closer to him.

"It's alright." Jun Matsue did a few high leg raises. "After all, they're swim trunks, so they can't be too loose."

"Pull open your coat and take a look," the girl commanded.

The boy unzipped his jacket, revealing the muscle lines of his chest and abdomen, so Wang Yuehua also silently shifted her body and leaned against her niece.

"Take off your coat?"

Matsueda Jun glanced at his aunt, who had a very serious expression, took off her sun protection clothing, and two naked eyes quickly roamed over her body.

The boy quickly put his jacket back on. "Is this okay?"

"That figure is indeed impressive." Wang Yuehua nodded.

"...I was referring to the clothes."

"Clothes are fine too," the aunt said, pressing her ear against the girl's.

"Didn't you say...? How come I can't tell?"

Mochizuki Haruka rolled her eyes and whispered to her aunt, "Of course you can't tell now."

After whispering for a while, the woman stood up. "Where did Jinzhi go?"

A lazy meow came from the balcony, and a golden cat slowly walked into the living room.

Mochizuki knelt down and hugged the cat to her chest. Before turning to leave, she walked over to Matsueda Jun and patted the boy's shoulder sternly.

"Remember to take good care of our Xiaoyao, and take responsibility properly, do you hear me?"

Jun Matsue nodded. "Even if my aunt didn't say anything, I would still take good care of her."

The woman put on a stern face, and the furrowed brows of her face were very similar to those of her niece.

"I'm emphasizing the last sentence!"

After giving the boy's swim trunks one last fierce look, Wang Yuehua picked up the cat and walked towards the entrance.

"I'm back!"

Hearing the arrogant slam of the door, Matsueda Jun seemed to realize the truth.

"Wangyue, did you tell your aunt about us?"

“Can’t I?” Mochizuki Haruka said matter-of-factly. “Such a big thing, I have to inform her, right?”

"...What did you say to her?" The boy sat down next to her.

The girl didn't answer, but stuck out her tongue, pulled open her eyelids with her right hand, and made a face at him.

The next morning, the Mochizuki family's black sedan took the two to Tokyo Station, the Shinkansen station next to the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda.

He opened the car door, took out the girl's suitcase, and stopped under the red brick archway with a distinctly Western feel.

A soft rustling sound came from behind, and the damp scent of water wafted through the air.

The boy turned around, and rain began to fall from the thick gray clouds above the station. Pedestrians on the road quickened their pace.

"It's still raining."

"Let's get off then." Mochizuki Haruka yawned beside her and turned to walk into the station.

"Anyway, we won't get wet."

Walking into the complex and confusing station passages, and through the bustling crowds, Jun Matsue watched as the flag bearing the words "Class 3-6" swayed weakly at the entrance of the passage.

"Jun-kun—" A girl in a sailor uniform waved to him from a distance.

Standing behind the boy, Mochizuki Haruka clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, picked up her suitcase, and walked towards the classroom.

Standing at the front of the class line, after greeting Ms. Kominato, Jun Matsue took the class flag from the girl.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll take over carrying the flag from now on."

Tomatsu Yuka smiled obediently, "Then I'll trouble you, Tsunku~"

The boy raised the flag and waved it vigorously, while the girl looked up at the lines of his arms.

"They said it seems to have started raining again outside?"

“It happened right after we entered the station.” Jun Matsueda nodded. “Hopefully it’s not raining all the time in Izu.”

“That’s alright, rainy days have their own scenery too.” Tomatsu Yuka said, taking a step closer to the other person.

"Walking on the beach with an umbrella, watching the rolling clouds and the sea, isn't that quite interesting?"

"And most importantly, I just want to be with Tsunkun."

For a fleeting moment, the waving flag seemed to sway, and Jun Matsue watched the soft flag fall.

He had heard similar words from another girl last night.

The roar of the train as it pulled into the station drowned out the clamor of the crowd. The final school trip departed from the silent Tokyo Station in the rain.
