Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"what?"

"Is this room the same as Tsunkun's?"

The boy blinked. "Yes."

The girl's sweet smile was like a pure lily. "I'm a little happy."

"..." Jun Matsue turned and walked out of the room, glancing back at her.

"Cai-chan should have some extra uniform shoes; her shoe size is similar to that of her senior."

Smiling, Yamami Maki watched him close the door, then sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her slippers.

It seems that Tsunkun cares about her more than she thought...

Back in his room, Jun Matsue sat down at his desk, poured some warm water from his thermos, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ha..." He sighed as he looked at the exercise book spread out in front of him.

They actually brought their senior back like that...

The boy leaned back in his chair, looking up at the bright white light tube on the ceiling.

Mochizuki should find out soon, right?

Tomatsu would definitely not be in a good mood if he knew that he had brought his senior back to the orphanage.

As for Kurusu… he glanced at the phone on the table.

The idol had just sent him a photo of her packed luggage, along with a picture of her wearing a gray wolf fur bathrobe—the girl had the bathrobe open, revealing a seductive bare body underneath, shamelessly showing off her flawless physique.

Given Kurusu's confident yet blindly self-absorbed personality, he might not even care about this...

So he first sent a message to Kurusu—

"The photos are beautiful, but next time you post something like this, it would be best to let me know first."

"If others see this in public, I'll be in big trouble."

Kurusu Yosei replied quickly, "Then I'll use this as a marker before I post next time—"

She sent a chibi version of Kurusu holding a heart emoji, and the boy nodded helplessly at the screen.

"Okay, I have something else to tell Kurusu."

"Is it related to other girls?" the girl asked sharply.

"Ah."

“Then I’ll choose not to listen~” she sent a voice message.

"Unless you think this will affect my 'sun' status in your heart, you don't need to tell me~"

"My time is very precious. I have to focus on my career and my relationship with Songzhi. I don't have time to react to your affairs with other girls."

"..." Jun Matsue smiled.

It turns out that Kurusu was the one who best knew how to be an "ostrich."

"I understand," he replied immediately. "Kurusu is going home tomorrow morning, right?"

"Hmm, tonight I'm going to have a blast with a feast, binge-watch TV shows, and then sleep soundly in Songzhi's bed!"

The boy typed on the keyboard, "Then don't drool on my bed."

"What are you saying? I don't drool!"

As expected, this is no big deal in Kurusu... Jun Matsueda put down his phone.

Who should he talk to first? The rabbit and the black cat jumped around in his mind.

Before the boy could come to a conclusion, footsteps and knocking sounded outside the door—

"Brother Chun, it's time to go eat!"

"Coming." Jun Matsueda put away his phone, got up, and opened the door.

Outside the door stood Aya Miyamura and Maki Yamami, who was standing behind her.

"..." The boy blinked.

Caijiang and her senior were wearing two different base layers, one white and one black, plus a white cotton vest, which looked like an outfit worn by elderly people.

"Is Senior Sister adapting to local customs?" Jun Matsue walked out of the room and then closed the door behind her.

He knew that the director and Cai Jiang would dress like this—simple, warm, and easy to move in; anyway, no one in the orphanage cared whether they dressed well or not.

“Yes~” Yami Maki smiled and patted her vest.

"Because I didn't bring a coat, and a coat is too bulky for everyday activities—I have to thank Aya for lending it to me."

"It's nothing~" Miyamura Aya waved her hand dismissively and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

"Hurry, hurry, I can already smell the corn chowder!"

"Where did that fragrance come from on the third floor..." Jun Matsue complained, glancing at the senior student beside him.

"Let's go."

“Hmm~” The girl followed his steps—the distance between their shoulders was closer than when they left Freedom Hill.

As they descended to the second floor, the sounds from the stairwell and the distant corridor became noticeably louder. Yamami Maki leaned out from behind the handrail, curiously watching the hurried figures of the children below.

"Everyone is eating very enthusiastically."

Aya Miyamura turned around with a grin, "After all, we're at the age where we're growing, so it's easy to feel hungry~"

"Don't run on the stairs, be careful not to fall!" Jun Matsue suddenly leaned close to the girl's back and shouted a warning downstairs.

"Have you forgotten what the teacher said before?"

"Oh..." The rain-like footsteps below suddenly weakened, and everyone became cautious.

Only then did he turn around with relief—

The boy was stunned. The senior in front of him turned around and looked at him. The ripples in her curved eyes were like the moon's reflection on a lake.

"What's wrong?" Jun Matsuoka asked, snapping out of his daze.

Yamami Maki raised her lips, revealing a set of clean, white teeth.

"Everyone is so energetic, and it's been so long since I've seen Tsunkun like this, it makes me so happy~"

"..." The boy sighed, pretending to have a headache.

"You won't be happy if you stay any longer—these little guys are hard to manage."

"It's alright." The girl smiled warmly. "I'm studying education, after all."

"Could you help Tsunku take care of them?"

Grasping the handrail beside him, Jun Matsueda blinked rather quickly this time—

Facing this senior student seems a bit too dangerous...

Chapter 837 The Welfare Home at Night for the New Guests

At 7 p.m., after dinner, Yamami Maki returned to her room and took out her laptop from her backpack.

"socket……"

She placed the computer on the table, bent down to search on the desk, and quickly plugged in the power strip on the table.

The girl moved her chair closer to the desk, turned on her computer, picked up her newly acquired thermos, poured herself a cup of hot water, and then officially began her study and work time.

The tapping sound of typing continued for half an hour—looking at the report that was beginning to take shape on the screen, Yamami Maki nodded slightly and picked up the water glass beside her.

"..." The girl blinked.

The water quality is not very good; it's only suitable for daily drinking and not for brewing tea.

But there's no tea to brew now... Her brows relaxed again, and she held the water cup in both hands, looking at the blank wall to the side.

The boy went back to the room with her, and the soundproofing in the orphanage dormitory was obviously not very good—but after half an hour in the room, the girl didn't hear anything.

Is Tsun-kun still in the room?

Yamami Maki put down her water glass, quietly pulled out a chair, and walked towards the empty wall.

Just as she pressed her ear against the cold, hard wall, there was a soft knock on the door behind her—the guilty girl's shoulders trembled, and she was naturally startled.

Is the senior in her room?

"Yes!" She straightened up, leaning against the wall, and turned to walk towards the door.

The tightly closed door opened, and Jun Matsue glanced at the computer on the desk before speaking to the girl.

“Cai-chan is planning to make a fire. She thinks that her senior might be a little bored staying in the room alone, so she asked me to ask you.”

"...A fire?" Yamami Maki blinked.

"Yeah, we'll light the stove to keep warm." The boy listened to the buzzing of the air conditioner in the room. "It might not be as comfortable as air conditioning, but it'll be more fun."

“I want to try!” the girl replied immediately. “Is it in the yard?”

“On the veranda.” Jun Matsue nodded. “I’ve already moved the chairs. You can bring your computer if you need to use it.”

“Okay~” Yamami Maki turned around, closed the laptop with the fruit logo on it, hugged it to her chest, and went out with the boy.

Going down to the second floor, the hallway was much livelier after dinner, with many children running around in the open dormitory rooms.

"Have your senior's family contacted you?" Jun Matsue asked the girl in his peripheral vision.

Maki Yami nodded. "My sister and mother both messaged me, asking if I wasn't planning to go home for the New Year."

To be precise, her sister asked her if she had thought it through, while her mother advised her to come back sooner rather than later...

The boy didn't ask her how she replied, but simply asked, "Has your father not contacted you yet?"

“No…” The girl pursed her moist lips.

"Let him be, my mindset is not going to change anyway."

"Don't you think your father is actually the one who hasn't grown up?" Jun Matsue asked, looking at the noisy corridor in front of him.

"Stubbornly staying in their own world, ignoring what's happening outside—aren't all children like that?"

Maki Yami couldn't help but laugh, causing the children walking by to look up curiously.

"Is that so?" The girl sighed, feigning sadness.

"Unfortunately, even though I studied education, I never had the opportunity to educate him."

After shooing away a few little brats who were crowding around, the two returned to the first floor and walked onto the outer veranda of the building.

Outside the brightly lit building lies a courtyard shrouded in darkness. The unlit corridor appears particularly deep and secluded, and only when the lights are on in the neighboring rooms will the wooden floor of the outer eaves be illuminated.

—And so it continued, with patches of light and shadow, until Yamami Maki soon spotted a faint red light at the end.

She blinked in surprise. "Is Aya-chan over there?"

“Yes.” The boy walked forward along the veranda, their footsteps echoing in the dim light.

"We warm ourselves by the fire outside the activity room, so we can deal with any situation inside immediately."

"I see~" The girl hugged the laptop tightly in her hands—her hands were a little cold from the metal surface.

"Moki-neechan is here." Miyamura Aya, who was fiddling with the charcoal fire, waved to the two who approached.

"The fire is ready!"

“Wow…” Yamami Maki naturally bent down and squatted down next to her.

Before them was a basin of charcoal fire that had just begun to burn—there was little wind in the orphanage tonight, and the bright flames danced freely in the basin, giving the girls a wave of heat.

She placed the laptop she was carrying on a chair beside her, reached out towards the charcoal fire, and squinted her eyes contentedly.

"Is this called a fire pot?"

“Hmm, these are things Grandma used to use.” Jun Matsue squatted down next to the two of them.

“This kind of open flame is quite dangerous, and it can easily cause poisoning if kept indoors, so the welfare home does not use it for daily heating.”

“I understand.” Yamami Maki nodded, watching Aya use fire tongs to pok at the dry branches—specks of red rose up and quickly disappeared on the eaves.

"But it definitely feels much better than air conditioning."
