Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Ah." She shook the empty cup in her hand, turned her head and rubbed her cheek against the boy's.

"I've finished my black tea."

"Would you like to go for a walk?" Jun Matsue put her cup back on the table. "The sunshine is quite nice today."

"Then I'll pack my things." The girl leaning against him sat up.

"It's almost 11 o'clock now. Let's go for a walk, then have dinner, and after dinner, we'll go home."

The two quickly left the cafe with their bags. Tomatsu Yuka adjusted her blazer and pleated skirt before taking the boy's hand again.

"There's only one month left until the common exam," the girl said, facing the sunlight.

"The entrance exam for Tokyo University is only two months away, and after the graduation ceremony in March, my high school life will be over~"

"Youhua is lamenting the passing of time again." The boy walked on the outer side of the sidewalk, shielding his girlfriend from the dust kicked up by passing cars.

"But judging from your tone, you don't sound like you're reminiscing or feeling sad."

“That’s not true at all~” Tomatsu Yuka smiled and looked at him.

"What's the point of spending the rest of your time at school just taking exams and studying?"

She cherishes her high school life because she can be with Tsunku.

"I'm already thinking about how I'm going to spend my university years!"

Because she could spend more time with Tsunku, she began to look forward to university.

“That’s still a bit far,” Jun Matsue said with a smile, walking hand in hand with the girl through the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

"Why don't we think about New Year's and Christmas first?"

“New Year…” Tomatsu Tomoka blinked.

"I would definitely spend time with my mother, visit my grandfather, and then see my father."

"Then it's time to learn how to date from Tsunku!" She smiled. "And just like that, the New Year is over, time for school exams!"

"For Christmas..." the girl blinked again.

This time, her gaze became much more playful, casting a meaningful glance at her lover beside her.

"However, I think how to spend Christmas is not something I should decide, but rather what Tsunkun has in mind..."

Matsueda Jun smiled apologetically, "Nothing can be hidden from Yuuka."

Tomatsu Yuka smiled nonchalantly. "So, what are you planning to do, Tsunku?"

"Yuka said she wanted to spend the evening with her mother—how about we set Christmas for the afternoon?"

"No problem~" The girl nodded happily.

"I think the afternoon is much better than the morning," she said, gazing at the lush green roadside trees in the sunlight.

"In the morning, I have to get up, get dressed, wash up, eat, put on makeup... In short, I have to spend all sorts of time preparing."

Tomatsu Yuka hugged the boy's arm, "In the afternoon, we can spend all our time together!"

As for who suffered a loss in the morning and who took the evening's money, she didn't intend to ask, nor was she interested in knowing.

Just as the girl herself said, enjoying time together as a couple is the most important thing.

“Then it’s a deal.” Jun Matsueda nodded.

"Next, I'll have to rack my brains to choose Christmas gifts—just thinking about it is giving me a headache."

Tomatsu Yuka, her eyes sparkling, linked arms with the boy and laughed joyfully.

"Anyway, I'll like anything that Jun-kun gives me."

As for Tsun-kun's troubles, she had no intention of offering any advice—after all, sending so many Christmas gifts was his own choice.

Seeing the girl's rare, gloating smile, Jun Matsueda could only helplessly tighten his grip on her arm.

"Let's go eat first."

"I guess I won't have to worry about what to have for lunch."

"After all, I'm here~" The girl leaned closer, a hint of smug pride in her voice.

"There's a newly opened Western-style casual dining place near the station, and their baked rice seems to have pretty good reviews."

"And eating a steaming hot baked rice dish in winter feels especially blissful~"

Matsugae Jun nodded emphatically, like a foolish emperor who had listened to the slander of his favorite concubine.

"We'll have baked rice for lunch!"

Tomatsu Yuka leaned out and gave the two a traffic signal—

"Then turn left at the next intersection."

The sun was shining brightly today, and the breeze along the tree-lined road was unusually gentle.

As they walked until a Western restaurant came into view in the distance, the scenery before the young boy and girl was so breathtaking...

However, a small cloud lingered in Tomatsu Yuka's otherwise bright heart.

Will Tsunkun stop here?

When the boy revealed his determination to her, besides her and Mochizuki Haruka, he only mentioned Idol Girl's name.

So, is it over for the three of them?

Tomatsu Yuka doesn't think so.

Although this was just a girl's immediate intuition, just as she could tell that the boy was "satisfied," and that she could gradually return to her beloved's side from being complete strangers—her intuition had almost never been wrong when it came to matters concerning Tsunkun.

So before heading into the restaurant to continue enjoying their time together, Tomatsu Yuka abruptly asked a question.

"How have you been lately, Senior? Does Tsunkun know?"

The boy, who was holding her arm, froze for a moment.

“…I haven’t been in much contact with her lately,” Jun Matsue answered honestly.

"However, Ochanomizu hasn't started her holiday yet, so I guess my senior is busy too."

Tomatsu Yuka keenly noticed that the boy's words contained no words like "fulfilling," "happy," or "satisfied."

The girl sighed softly to herself.

As expected, Jun-kun still cared about her.

Chapter 812 Humans are creatures of change, and they are no exception.

The following Saturday, at 7 p.m., Jun Matsue, wearing a black scarf, walked through the streets of Mitaka City and looked at the girl beside him.

"Is this really okay?"

Yosei Kurusu, walking briskly along the edge of the sidewalk, turned around and waved to him.

"I already said it's okay~"

It's time for an evening walk. Since Miss Mochizuki doesn't like to go out in the cold, only the boy and Miss Idol are walking on the road.

As for the "relationship" the two mentioned... Jun Matsueda looked at the girl beside him again.

Yosuke Kurusu raised his arms and wobbled along the curb as if walking on a tightrope—Mitaka City wasn't as bustling as downtown Tokyo, and the outside of the girl's body was a quiet, empty road, so there wasn't much danger.

However, what the boy really cared about was that Yosei Kurusu's face was neither covered by a hat or mask, nor by a collar or glasses.

Her flawless face, brimming with youthful vitality, was thus exposed to the night sky, brazenly allowing everyone to admire it.

Noticing her boyfriend's gaze, Miss Idol smiled nonchalantly and reached out to tug at his coat.

"I said it's okay, and it's okay!"

The sidewalk ended, and the girl lightly lifted her leg and jumped down, like a gymnast who had just finished a performance.

"Mitaka isn't Tokyo, look, there aren't many people on the streets—"

Jun Matsue grasped her slightly cool hand, which was exposed to the outside air, and conveyed his warmth to her.

"That's true..."

The road they were walking on wasn't exactly remote—at least there was a sidewalk just moments before. However, there were very few people around, except for a woman pushing a stroller in the parking lot under the streetlights ahead, which was one of the few signs of life they saw.

In fact, aside from those bustling and famous cities, neon lights look like this at night—even in Tokyo's urban area, after another two hours, many less commercialized neighborhoods will also become quiet.

"And it's not a big deal if we get caught~"

The idol girl swayed along, pulling his arm, clearly in a good mood.

"Just like I told Matsueda when we were filming at Inokashira Park before—if we get recognized, we can just sign an autograph, and Matsueda can just pull me away quickly."

"Anyway, I'm not an idol now, so it doesn't matter if news of my relationship breaks out!"

Jun Matsue smiled and took her hand as they walked down the street next to the residential houses.

It seems that living in the suburbs of Tokyo has its advantages.

"So, has Kurusu already discussed the relationship with the company?"

"More or less~" Yosuke Kurusu waved to a cat passing by on the wall.

"Since it was my first time in a relationship, I asked Sister Ju how everyone usually handles it."

"It's my first love..." The boy smiled and gently brushed a strand of hair from her shoulder.

So how do we handle this?

"When it comes to relationships, I usually handle it by giving the silent treatment—"

A sudden gust of wind picked up on the road, and the idol girl grabbed the boy's arm and hid behind him.

"If no one notices it, then we don't care. If someone notices it and it gets a lot of discussion, then we'll respond."

"'Thank you everyone for your concern. I am indeed in a relationship and I am very happy~' That's about it."

Jun Matsue gathered the girl's long pink hair, which was being blown about by the wind, and casually put his arm around her shoulder.

"Is that all? Kurusu was planning to announce it in a big way, wasn't she?"

Yosei Kurusu turned his head, his bright, smiling eyes hiding a hint of mischief.

"Everyone says that when celebrities make a high-profile announcement, it's usually to announce their marriage."

"..." The boy blinked and stared at the traffic lights at the intersection in the distance without saying a word.

"Marriage is still too far away!" Miss Idol patted him on the back. "I haven't even thought about it myself~"

"Mainly, my sister told me that there's no rush to announce the relationship news. She said I can use it to generate buzz when I have an album or event later."

"Besides, Songzhi hasn't graduated yet, has he?" The girl blinked.

"Just imagine, if I were to announce my relationship tomorrow, Bunshun's reporters would start investigating—"

"Even though the Nozomi family is around, Matsue's name probably won't be mentioned, but 'popular singer Yosuke Kurusu dating a high school student' sounds pretty strange, doesn't it?"

"..." Jun Matsuoka nodded. "It's like an old cow eating young grass, an incestuous relationship."

"What do you mean by 'old cow eating young grass'!"

Lai Xiyang came up to him and glared at him reproachfully.

"I'm only two or three years older than you! That's such an rude thing to say!"

"I'm sorry!" The boy lowered his head obediently. "I was just saying it casually. I definitely didn't mean it that way."

"After all, Miss Yangshi is so youthful, energetic, alluring, and adorable. What else can I do but fall for you every day?"

Miss Idol reluctantly nodded.

But she didn't give up—the girl's hands, which were originally wrapped around her boyfriend's arm, naturally reached behind him.

Kurusu Yosei pressed most of his body against hers and naturally pouted his lips.

"Then one kiss will suffice."

With most of his view blocked by Kurusu's bright, warm cheeks, Jun Matsue glanced out of the corner of his eye at the girl's back—

The two had reached the intersection connecting to the main road. A few meters away was the traffic light in front of the zebra crossing, and there seemed to be pedestrians waiting on the other side staring at them.

"..."
