Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"I don't seem to have any contact with her. What does she want from me?"

He walked into the living room and sat down at the dining table. There were already a few fewer persimmons on the plate.

Kurusu Yoshi wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "I told her I was living with you, and she was worried, so she said she wanted to meet you."

In fact, the agent suggested that she live in the company's artist dormitory, but the girl refused.

Jun Matsueda thought about it and realized that it was normal for the agent to be worried since his artist was sharing a house with a young man.

"Did she say when to meet?"

The girl took out her cell phone to send a message. She typed so fast that her fingers left afterimages.

"As long as you're free."

"Then this afternoon?" When faced with unknown things, Jun Matsueda's habit is to solve them as soon as possible.

So, at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, at the busiest intersection in Shibuya, Jun Matsueda sat in a high-end cafe, looking at the woman in front of him.

Kurusu Yoshi sat next to him, and the agent sat opposite them. Her suit and skirt had not a single wrinkle, and her face did not look good.

"Are you my fiancé in the world of the living?" the woman asked with a frown.

Chapter 131: Discussion at Shibuya Center

"Are you the fiancé in the Yang world?"

Jun Matsueda found it difficult to describe how he felt when he heard these words. He lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee in the white porcelain cup. The bitter taste with a hint of sourness filled his mouth.

"Is this what Lai Qi Yang Shi told you?" He looked at the culprit beside him.

The girl buried her face guiltily in the big cloud of cream in the coffee in front of her, not daring to look at him.

"Yangshi said you were the one she chose to marry."

Jun Matsueda sighed, "Kurisu would be a qualified idol, but he definitely wouldn't be a qualified roommate."

"No way!" the girl retorted softly, "My cooking is so delicious!"

"Your only advantage is that you cook delicious food."

Jun Matsueda took another sip of coffee. This was the latte ordered for him by Kurusu Yoshi. It didn't taste as good as the one he had on the rooftop during the cultural festival.

"What do you mean?" The woman looked at the two people in front of her. They were both sitting in their seats quietly, without that sticky feeling between lovers.

"What I mean is that Lai Qi Yang Shi and I are just roommates, please rest assured." He raised his head and looked at the agent.

Looking closely at Jun Matsueda's face, the woman looked dazed for a moment.

From the first time she saw the boy in front of her walk into the coffee shop, she was already thinking about how to make him debut at the speed of light.

It was not until Kurusu Yoshi followed him in that the woman realized that this boy was the person she was going to meet today.

She immediately imagined a story about a philandering handsome guy who asked his girlfriend to make money to play marbles for him, but the boy said they were just roommates.

Two people who look like this, living together, are just roommates?

"You're not even a couple, just roommates?"

The woman looked at Matsueda Jun. Her rationality made her reluctant to believe what he said, but when she saw the face of the man in front of her, her emotions began to remind her constantly that her rationality had failed.

Matsueda Jun nodded. "There doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove it, but that's the fact."

"But the fact that he is my marriage partner will not change!" the girl interrupted, and in return she was looked at like a fool by Jun Matsueda.

Just as Matsueda Jun was about to refute her, the girl was pulled out of her seat by her agent and the two walked away.

He couldn't hear what the two people said, nor did he have the ability to read lips. He could only see the woman's expression changing constantly.

Lai Qi Yang Shi went from being indifferent at first, with his arms crossed, to a stubborn look, putting down his hands, as if to argue, and finally to a smiling expression, holding the woman's arm and shaking it.

The two returned to their seats. "I already understand the situation. But considering Yangshi's safety and image, I still want to talk to you." The woman's expression softened a little.

The agent's mood was a bit complicated. She had booked the location of this cafe, which was located in "Shibuya Tsutaya".

The decoration of Shibuya is very beautiful. The decoration of the hotel is very beautiful. The decoration of the hotel is very beautiful.

She chose a seat by the window, from which she could see Shibuya Station across the street and the countless pedestrians waiting at the traffic lights below.

The woman had already made up her mind that if the boy kept pestering Yang Shi, she would speak to him in a cold tone.

"Recognize the gap between you and her. Yang Shi's talent will definitely make her appear on the screens of every building here, and you——"

Having said this, the woman would look at the passers-by at the intersection downstairs with contempt.

Unfortunately, she no longer had the chance to say these words, and she looked at the boy in front of her with regret.

He was just the marriage partner chosen unilaterally in the Yang world.

By the way, does the Yang world really know what marriage means?

The woman sighed and drank the coffee in the cup. Busy at work, she had long been accustomed to the extremely bitter taste of iced American coffee.

"Your name is Jun Matsueda, right?"

The man named Jun Matsueda nodded.

"May I ask your age?"

"First year."

The agent looked at the girl next to him, a freshman?

That’s not... She began to think about how to exonerate her own artist if a scandal broke out.

"Well, if you're still in school, where do you go?" The woman's tone became more polite. If they meet in court in the future, she might even need Jun Matsueda's consent letter.

"Higaoka High School."

The woman took out her cell phone and opened the search engine. After a while, she turned the phone to the opposite side.

"Um, Matsueda-san, is this you?"

It was a news report about Jun Matsueda winning the gold medal in the National Geography Olympiad, and the accompanying picture was of him in front of the Aoyama University auditorium.

"Isn't there a photo?" He remembered the reporter from this TV station, a girl who looked like she had just graduated from college. She even wanted his contact information at the end of the interview.

"I just can't believe it..."

The woman's guilt began to grow. His future seemed brighter than her own artist's. He might even join the Geological Research Institute of the University of Tokyo...

"Nothing else to ask?" Jun Matsueda drank the coffee at the bottom of the cup, with a hint of sweetness from milk.

"Um, family situation? Does he have a criminal record?"

"Orphan, no."

"Sorry!" The woman lowered her head and began to apologize.

"Speaking of which!" Lai Qi Yang Shi was originally looking out the window bored, but when he heard the two people talking about the Geography Olympiad, he turned his head belatedly.

"Didn't Songzhi say before that he would bring back the gold medal for me? Where is the gold medal?" she asked while stirring the spoon in her hand.

"I opened it and gave it to you as soon as the package arrived. You were watching TV at the time and asked me to put it aside, so I put it away."

"Why are you doing this? You said you would give it to me!" She stirred the ceramic cup so hard that it made a clanging sound.

"Don't make a fuss. I'll give it to you when we get back." Jun Matsueda held her cup.

"Well, I don't have any other questions." The woman cautiously interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Then can we go now?" Kurusu Yoshi stood up and was stopped by Matsueda Jun.

"Have I passed the test, Miss Agent?"

The woman nodded.

"Then I have other questions I want to discuss with you." He looked at the woman in front of him with a calm gaze.

"First of all, there's the issue of Laiqi Yangshi's contract."

"Her family members were unable to be present, and as her friend, I would like to learn more about her agency contract."

"For example, the length of the contract, the relevant terms for renewal, and whether there are conditions for mandatory renewal."

“And the economic scope, is it global agency rights or brokerage within a specific scope?”

"And the very important question is the profit sharing ratio and the way the income is calculated. Are the artist's costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, and stage makeup covered by your company?"

"As her agent, I'm very pleased that you're concerned about Kurusu's life. Similarly, as Kurusu's friend, I'd also like to know your plans for her future development."

"I think a qualified agent always has to consider these things, right?"

The scrutinizing look on Jun Matsueda's face made the agent realize that the next step was to assess her.

The woman looked at Lai Qi Yang Shi with an inquiring look. Of course she could tell him these things, but the prerequisite was to get the artist's consent.

The girl winked at her playfully and then looked out the window again.

"Okay, I understand." The woman sighed. "First, let's talk about the contract. I have her electronic contract here. You can view it on my phone..."

After finishing their coffee, the two men started talking seriously. Kurusu Yoshi supported his cheek with his right hand and continued to stir his coffee with his left hand.

The girl looked at the statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog, in the square across from her. Neither of them noticed the bright smile on her face.

This was the first time that Kurusu Yoshi saw Matsueda Jun being serious about her.

Chapter 132: Memories just happened to be along the way

"Are you not going to drink your coffee?"

Jun Matsueda looked at Kurusu Yoshi in front of him. She had a smiling face and was stirring the porcelain cup with a spoon.

The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window was wrapped around the silver surface of the spoon handle, flickering, as if it was dissolving into the coffee as the girl stirred it.

The agent wiped the sweat off her face and left. Even on weekends, she couldn't completely rest because she had a lot of messy things to do.

Jun Matsueda has already confirmed that it is a legitimate company and a legitimate agent, so at least there is no need to worry about Lai Qi Yang Shi encountering troubles outside of work.

"I'm in a good mood right now. If I drink such bitter coffee, it might ruin my good mood."

She pushed the unfinished coffee between the two of them, but Matsueda Jun had no intention of taking it.

"I've read my contract carefully, and my agent has also checked it out. I have a very good eye for people!" The girl puffed out her chest and spoke with pride.

"But~" She changed her tone and leaned over the table to look up at Matsueda Jun, "I'm still very happy that you care about me so much~"

He looked at the girl lying on the table pretending to be cute, "After all, we live together. If anything happens to you, I'll have to cook for myself from now on."

Lai Qi Yang Shi put his hands on the table and stood up straight. "Is this all I am worth to you?"

Matsueda Jun thought for a moment and said, "We are comrades who have experienced typhoons together. I can't just sit back and watch."

Although she was not satisfied with the answer, the girl chose to let him go for now. "Are you free this afternoon?"

Matsueda Jun looked at her with a questioning look.

"My company isn't far from here. Since you're worried, would you like to come with me to take a look?"

Outside the window is a never-ending crossroads, where pedestrians are still jostling each other, as if their job is to simulate the regular movement of small molecules in this square space bounded by traffic lights.

There was no one sitting in the seat by the window. A half-full cup of coffee was placed in the middle of the table. The residual heat had faded, leaving only the still silver spoon handle reflecting the light in the background window where people were coming and going.

Jun Matsueda and Yoshi Kurusu also mixed in with the crowd crossing the road. They looked at the people on the opposite side of the road, with their colorful hair and faces of different skin colors.

At this intersection, it is not surprising to see all kinds of people: foreign tourists, hot girls, actors, photographers, homeless people, ordinary office workers, internet celebrities, and anti-war activists.

Jun Matsueda could see so many people at a glance.

"It is said that if you stand here for a month, you can see 80% of the types of occupations in Japan." Kurusu Yoshi said beside him.

"After all, it's the busiest intersection in the world." Jun Matsueda looked at the woman opposite who was live-streaming with a selfie stick.

They passed tourists posing for photos in front of the statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog, and entered Shibuya Station.

The two went up to the third floor. They were going to take the Ginza Line of the subway.

"Do you know what my company is called?" the girl suddenly asked as they walked under the white archway in the passage.

"JINIAS, isn't it written in the contract?" Jun Matsueda was puzzled by her question.

"The contract has so many words, I was afraid you would forget them." Lai Qi Yang Shi laughed.

The girl walked to the edge of the platform and looked at the empty tracks in front of her. "Speaking of which, can a guardrail like this really stop someone from lying on the tracks?"

The old platforms in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area are basically semi-enclosed metal guardrails, which are at most as high as the passengers' shoulders, so it is relatively easy to climb over.

"Keep your voice down." Matsueda Jun rolled his eyes at her. "The station attendants over there are looking over here."
