Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"You've only been back to school for a few days? How come you're already in the health room?"

The girl lying on the hospital bed turned over and didn't look at Matsueda Jun who was standing at the door.

"This isn't the health room. It's just the spare room next to it."

Jun Matsueda turned on the light in the room, and Haruka Mochizuki reached out and pulled the quilt up to cover her head.

"There are too many people in the classroom. I'm not used to it."

"Wouldn't it be better if you asked Liyin and the others to stop surrounding you?"

Jun Matsueda walked to the corner of the bed and pulled the quilt, but the girl pushed his hand away with her foot through the quilt.

"I've said that, but people still look at me a lot in class, and it feels weird."

The boy sighed, "But we can't always go to school in the health room, right?"

Mochizuki Haruka was silent for a while. She wanted to hear an answer from Matsueda Jun with more concern, rather than this indifferent tone.

"I will adapt, it just takes some time." This is the girl's final answer.

When Jun Matsueda left the room, the snow outside the window, without the wind's help, drifted slowly through the air. The coldest months had passed, but the corridors were deserted. After all, there was no heating in the hallways, so everyone preferred to stay in the classrooms.

Jun Matsueda's least favorite month of the year is February, because it's Valentine's Day. As soon as February begins, people start talking about what gifts to get their partners, or trying to muster up the courage to confess their feelings to the one they like.

Valentine's Day chocolates were the only thing he didn't want to accept or eat.

When Valentine's Day is over, people start talking about failed confessions and newly born couples. February is such a month wrapped in love, like a piece of chocolate with a liqueur filling, sweet and bitter intertwined.

Find Mr. Kominato in the office and fill out the application form. If nothing unexpected happens, Jun Matsueda will be a volunteer for the admissions interview and will meet Aya Miyamura in advance on the campus of Haneda High School.

What expression would Aya-chan have when that happened? Matsueda Jun was looking forward to it.

On the way back to the classroom, Matsueda Jun met Imokawa Natsumi standing by the window. The girl looked out the window with her mouth slightly open. The water vapor from her breath stuck to the glass and turned into a white mist that contracted and expanded.

"Is this the first time I've seen you outside the club in these days?" He walked up to the girl.

Natsumi Imokawa turned her head, her eyes a little dazed, as if her soul was captivated by the dreamy snowflakes outside the window.

"Hello?" Jun Matsueda waved his hand in front of the girl, and she finally came back to her senses.

"Songzhi, the school has approved the second version of our cut."

"Isn't that a good thing? Why don't you look very happy?"

"When the notice came, it was just a sentence, so light and airy that I didn't feel anything."

The girl pouted, looking a little dissatisfied. That was a video she had spent a lot of time editing, and she wanted to hear praise rather than "approved".

"So when can we see it?" Jun Matsueda stood in front of the vending machine at the stairs, with Natsumi Imokawa following behind him.

"The school's official website and media accounts will be announcing it soon! The minister said it will be at 1 p.m.!"

The girl took out the cell phone from her pocket. It was now 12:50, and she just needed to wait another ten minutes.

The can fell to the bottom of the vending machine with a clang sound, and Matsueda Jun handed the coffee in his hand to the girl.

"Remember to go to bed early tonight, otherwise the dark circles under your eyes won't go away on their own."

Natsumi Imokawa chuckled twice and stroked the skin under his eyes with his index finger, where faint dark circles appeared.

"Know it......"

The two of them sat down in the corner at the end of the corridor, coffee in hand. They were the only two people in the corridor. In the distance, a girl walked out of the classroom and headed towards the bathroom at the other end.

The glass sliding door of the balcony was not well sealed, and a slight cold air licked across Natsumi Imokawa's neck, and the girl couldn't help but shiver.

"It's so cold!"

Jun Matsueda stood up and sat down outside the girl to block the incoming airflow.

"After staying in the classroom for a long time, I feel a little hot."

The snowflakes and gray sky outside the balcony were not very bright, casting a soft light on the profiles of the two people. Natsumi Imokawa twisted her body and put the hem of her coat under her buttocks to insulate her from the cold ground.

"So you were standing in the corridor in a daze, waiting for the promotional video to be released alone?" Jun Matsueda took a sip of coffee, and the heated liquid flowed through his throat, bringing a refreshing warmth.

"Yeah." Natsumi Imokawa nodded. She did not hold the coffee against her chest like before, but held the warm iron can with both hands and drank it in small sips.

"Waiting in the classroom is a bit scary because I can see everyone's expressions. If they think it's bad or boring, I'll know immediately."

The girl's face flushed warmly, and she stuck out her tongue to lick the brown liquid on the mouth of the jar. Her pink tongue was wet and soft, longer than that of an average person, and looked somewhat erotic.

"So it's better to wait in the corridor."

She originally wanted to say that it was better to be alone, but Jun Matsueda was right next to her, and if she said that, the girl was afraid that he would leave.

Junya Matsueda took out his cell phone and turned on the clock. It was already 12:59, and there were still a few dozen seconds left.

“How can someone who wears a camera every day take boring photos?”

The girl smiled shyly, then hurriedly clicked on the extra video on the Yugaoka High School account.

She hesitated for a moment and chose to put the phone between the two of them, "Do you want to watch it together?"

Jun Matsueda leaned his head closer.

The promotional video begins with the entrance ceremony of this freshman class. The picture shows the back of a student surrounded by neat rows of freshmen.

The camera gradually moved upwards, as if a person's head was raised, and the vague voice on the stage became clear. The freshman representative, Jun Matsueda, was speaking on the stage. The bright spring sunshine gave his ordinary black and white school uniform a golden luster.

"I believe that everyone will create unforgettable memories at Hanaoka High School."

The applause started and then became blurred, and the camera moved to the side and froze on the window of the auditorium.

Outside the window, cherry blossoms are in bloom in April. Pink petals flutter down from the branches and land on the shoulders of passing girls. The school song of Yugaoka is playing.

"By the window in April, I wait for the free wind. Everything is flourishing, and the sky above Yuqiu is clear..."

The pictures were beautiful and the music was moving, but Jun Matsueda was thinking of other things.

So, it turns out that Imokawa has been carrying a camera since she first entered school...

The girl next to him cast a questioning look at him, and Matsueda Jun nodded. "The beginning is of high quality, it feels like a youth film, much more attractive than the aerial footage of the campus."

Natsumi Imokawa breathed a sigh of relief and continued playing the video.

The images flow along the direction of time, club meetings, sports meets, wind instrument competitions, ball games, cultural festivals...

Even if the girl decides to edit a second version, the content of these student activities cannot be omitted. Unlike the first version, in addition to the shouts of victory and the laughter of the game, there are many more shots that are not so "correct".

Some people won first place in the sports meet, while others fell on the track, bleeding profusely.

The girls in the wind band were thrilled to win the gold medal at the national conference, but the girl holding the saxophone looked calm during the interview.

"I also want to thank the person who gave my saxophone such rich emotions. He taught me a lot. Thank you."

The girl's eyes looking into the camera silently express regret and sadness.

The silent corridor of the third grade students and the figures of students busy writing in the classroom.

Outside the window, the baseball team was engaged in a high-pressure training session, with scolding and sweat dripping onto the ground.

"Run faster! You're not even qualified to compete in a formal competition at this speed! We don't need any trash!"

genius.

"Don't think about getting a place in the international competition, just win a gold medal." The handsome boy said with a calm expression.

mediocre.

"I've been taking mock exams every day for the past month, but my grades haven't improved." The boy smiled bitterly.

"I should have spent more time. Now it's too late."

victory.

"Congratulations to Haneda High School for winning the Spring Women's Volleyball League Championship!"

The girls in volleyball uniforms hugged each other, tears of joy flowing freely.

failure.

"Haegaoka High School ultimately failed to advance to the semifinals of this year's Winter Cup. Let's look forward to their performance next year."

"There's no next year!" the boys in the locker room yelled, lifting the hem of their jerseys to wipe their tears.

"Everyone is going to quit the team next year. Even if we win the championship, it will have nothing to do with us anymore!"

No matter how the three years pass, they will eventually come to an end.

At the end of the promotional video, there is a crowd standing in the auditorium again. The graduation ceremony has not officially started yet and everyone is chatting casually.

The camera was so low that the students' faces were not visible, only their uniform shirts, the girls' skirts and the boys' trousers.

"Which university did you choose in the end?"

"Kyoto University, my sister is over there."

"Not bad, where's Saito?"

"Me? I'm not going to college anymore. I'm going to study baking and inherit my family's bakery."

"Ah?" There were exclamations from all around, and the boy raised his hand, as if scratching his head.

"I feel that making bread is more interesting than studying." He smiled.

"Come buy bread then and I'll give you half price~"

A man in a suit walked onto the stage and the screen gradually dimmed, leaving only the sounds of people talking and discussing their whereabouts.

After the sound disappeared, the subtitles appeared.

“What kind of life do you want to live?”

"How is it?" The girl looked at him expectantly.

"It's very interesting." Matsueda Jun took the last sip of coffee. "It feels like watching a short film."

"It would have been better if the footage of me being suspended hadn't been included."

"That's good!" Imokawa Natsumi nodded excitedly, ignoring the rest of his sentence. She waited for a moment before clicking on the comments under the video.

“The style of this year’s promotional video is completely different!”

"It's much more realistic than before! Before, it was all just handsome men and beautiful women in uniforms walking around campus smiling at the camera. It was so boring!"

"Did Saito really go to learn baking?"

"Really? I bought some bread from their shop yesterday, and it tasted pretty good."

The girl stood up and walked towards the classroom, with Matsueda Jun following behind her.

Natsumi Imokawa stood outside the classroom door, looking inside through the window.

Everyone was holding their phones and sharing their thoughts on the promotional video.

"I was the one who fell at the sports meet! How embarrassing!"

"It's okay, Yamada-san's fall was pretty cool~"

There was laughter in the classroom. "This year's promotional video is really interesting!"

The girl clinging to the door turned around, drank the coffee in her hand in one gulp, and smiled brightly at Matsueda Jun.

"Matsueda, I might have to hold a camera for the rest of my life!"

Chapter 201 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.
