Putting aside accepting the girl's love, at the very least, he should comfort her loneliness and help her face her completely changed life path.
And if he chooses to speak, it will be the same.
If you relay the message to your senior without embellishing it, you'll be going along with the Yamami family's wishes—Yamami Maki will definitely be more willing to listen to these words if a boy says them, and she'll be more likely to choose to go home.
If he modifies Miss Yuxiang's words, or relays them to her and advises her to be firm in her beliefs, then it's no different from "not saying anything."
So the real question that Ikuka Yamami posed to him was whether or not to choose Maki Yamami.
If he doesn't speak up, he'll be pushing his senior towards him; if he does speak up, he'll be pushing her towards his family—once he makes a choice, it will be difficult for him to maintain neutrality as before.
In fact, once the boy starts thinking, he has to face up to Yami Maki's words and actions during this period—those deliberately buried feelings will naturally intensify in his heart.
Jun Matsue stood up from the bathtub and dried the water droplets he had licked off his body.
This is the true "malice" of adults.
Although he still has time to think, there are only two weeks left until the New Year—by then, even if he does nothing, he will have made a choice.
"..."
The boy, dressed, opened the bathroom sliding door. The old, clunky tracks made a creaking sound, once again disrupting his calming thoughts.
Jun Matsue plugged in the hairdryer and hastily started drying his hair—before the annoying whooshing sound ended, the clattering sound of Idol Girl's slippers approached.
"Pine branch—there are oranges in the fridge that I just bought today, remember to eat them!"
Yosei Kurusu peeked out from behind the wall, and the boy nodded at himself in the mirror.
"it is good."
The hairdryer continued whirring for a while, then quickly stopped. Jun Matsue looked at the girl who was still clinging to the wall, staring at him.
"what happened?"
"..." Kurusu Yosei walked into the restroom and looked at him.
What is Songzhi thinking about with his brow furrowed?
"Weren't you having a good time at dinner?"
The boy smiled, his unconsciously furrowed brows relaxing.
"Thinking about your future?"
"Strange thoughts often pop into your head when you're taking a bath alone. I bet Kurusu has experienced that too, right?"
"I do not care!"
Miss Idol pounced on him, her fragrant hands, freshly peeled oranges, slapping his cheeks together with a "smack".
"I don't care what Songzhi is worrying about regarding the future!"
"The thing you need to think about right now is your date with me tomorrow!"
Chapter 806 So, it's today
Monday, December 15th.
Today is the first day of the winter holiday, and also half a month since the release of "Happy End".
Although Jun Matsue got up a little later than usual, the apartment was still quiet in the morning when he stepped out of his bedroom.
The boy glanced at the bedroom next door—the wooden sign with Kurusu Yosei's name on it had been turned over, meaning she didn't need to be woken up.
"You were so excited last night, but you chose to sleep in..."
He went into the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the kitchen to make two fried egg sandwiches—one for himself and one to be sent to room 506 next door.
Entering the apartment next door, putting down breakfast, Jun Matsueda naturally pushed open the bedroom door and gently woke the girl on the bed.
"It's time to get up. Isn't Wangyue going to see her aunt today?"
"Um..."
Wrapped in Mochizuki Haruka's blanket, she began to wriggle, but quickly calmed down.
The boy pushed again, and the bulging blanket continued to struggle with whimpering.
Fifteen minutes later, Jun Matsue carried the girl, who was wearing pajamas and had just finished washing up, out of the bathroom and placed her on the dining table.
After taking a couple of bites of her sandwich and a sip of hot milk, the sleepiness in her head had mostly dissipated. Mochizuki Haruka turned her head and looked at the boy sitting next to her.
What are Songzhi's plans for today?
"Nothing much planned. I'll stay home in the morning and go to the movies with Kurusu in the afternoon. That'll be about it."
Jun Matsueda's tone was completely unabashed, and there was not a trace of guilt on his face. The girl glared at him, then turned her head and took a big bite of her sandwich.
"Auntie said she'll be waiting for us at home on Christmas Day so we can exchange gifts. Do you have any objections?"
"How could I dare to have any objections?" the boy said, taking out his phone.
"Auntie's gift...Does Mochizuki have any secret, thoughtful little suggestions for me?"
Mochizuki Haruka, chewing on her sandwich, rolled her eyes at him. "Auntie has already made the decision."
"Hmm?" Jun Matsuoka raised an eyebrow.
"Auntie wants to eat the lunch you made, is that alright?"
"Lunch..." the boy thought for a moment, "should be fine."
The outline of his Christmas plan began to form in his mind—
In the morning, I went to Mochizuki's house to cook lunch for the aunt and niece. In the afternoon, I went to Tomatsu and experienced the Christmas atmosphere in Tokyo with the girl.
As for the evening...
If Kurusu isn't going to give up on today's date, then he should try to win her over on Christmas Eve—no matter how much the idol girl drags things out, their bet will be settled by the 25th.
If Kurusu has already conceded defeat, then the empty nights of Christmas naturally belong to her.
"The ingredients will all be prepared for Songzhi by then," said Mochizuki Haruka, picking up a glass of hot milk.
"You don't need to put in too much effort, just cook it the way you usually do at home. We'll be eating cake then."
“Okay.” Jun Matsueda nodded. “Then what gift would Mochizuki like?”
"..." The girl looked at him again, "A small gift would be fine, like jewelry or pendants."
"The gifts that your aunt and I prepared for you are about the same."
"I want a gift that I'd rather have—"
Mochizuki Haruka leaned closer, resting her head on the boy's shoulder, her eyes blinking as she looked at his face.
"There's only one month left until the common exam. Don't forget what Matsueda promised me."
Of course, they agreed that the day the common exam ended would be the day Jun Matsue and Tomatsu Tomatsu officially announced their breakup.
Jun Matsue smiled helplessly.
"Know it."
"Don't say 'I know,' say 'Okay!'"
"it is good--"
Twenty minutes later, Jun Matsue walked out of the apartment and handed the girl, Kinji, whom he was holding in his arms, to the girl standing by the black car.
Mochizuki Haruka held the cat, who had gained a couple of pounds, in one arm and tightened the zipper of her cotton-padded coat with the other.
The maid behind her opened the car door for her, and before turning to get in, the girl turned back and said something.
"Also, remember to come to our house for one day during the New Year, but Christmas doesn't count!"
"I remember." The boy stepped forward and hugged her.
The golden cat was trapped between the two, its head sticking out as it meowed softly.
"See you tomorrow."
Wang Yueyao got into the car. "See you tomorrow."
Watching the Mochizuki family's car drive away, Jun Matsue turned and went into the apartment—when he returned to 507, the living room was already brightly lit.
Where did the pine branch go?
Yosei Kurusu peeked out from behind the corner of the wall. She was brushing her teeth, with a ring of creamy foam around her mouth.
"Go wake up Mochizuki and see her off to her car."
"Mochizuki is gone?" The idol girl's eyes, which had been slightly sleepy, suddenly widened.
"Yeah, the final exams are over, so I definitely need to go home and visit." The boy changed into slippers and returned to the living room.
"Are you hungry now, Kurusu? Do you want me to make you breakfast?"
"No need!" The girl, brushing her teeth, shook her head, white foam swaying at the corners of her lips. "It's not too early, I'll just eat some cookies or something later."
"When will Wangyue be back?" she pressed on.
"It's tomorrow, Auntie insists on making sure she sleeps with me for one night."
Yosei Kurusu didn't answer, but instead ran quickly back to the bathroom. The boy looked up but didn't see her cheerful smile with the words "Plan succeeded!" written on it.
"So, what should we say about today's date?"
After the girl finished washing up and returned to the living room, Jun Matsueda, who was sitting at the dining table, took the initiative to ask her a question.
"..." Kurusu Yosei paused for a moment, then walked up to the boy, her pretty face, still wet with water droplets, carrying a mischievous smile.
"Matsugi is really looking forward to it~"
"I'm really looking forward to it." The boy nodded honestly.
"After all, it's Ms. Kurusu who's going on a date with me, it would be impossible for me not to be tempted."
"..." He tried to flirt with his idol, but his expression turned somewhat awkward.
The girl blushed, then pouted and turned away.
"It's all Mochizuki and the others' fault! Matsue has become a seasoned player in love, she's not cute at all!"
“What’s the use of being cute…” Jun Matsueda remarked.
"Besides, this has nothing to do with dating experience. Doesn't Kurusu know her own charm very well?"
Laixi Youse turned around and glared at him, unable to hide the clear blush on her face.
"Now you know how to be sweet-talking and try to please me?"
The boy smiled.
"I think it's because Kurusu is willing to give me her heart that I'm able to win your favor."
"Hmph!" Miss Idol turned her back to him and walked towards the bedroom.
"It's almost ten o'clock now. Let me first see what to wear, then check with the agency and Ju-jie for news. Shall we go out around lunchtime?"
"Whatever you say." Jun Matsueda got up and walked towards the refrigerator. "I'll see what we should have for lunch."
The girl took off her pajamas behind the door that wasn't closed properly, revealing one of her shoulders and the bare curves of her waist and hips.
"No need for pine branches! Let's eat out!"
"Then I'll go back to my bedroom and study for a while." The boy walked towards his bedroom.
"No!" Kurusu Yosei's voice was a little louder.
"Pine Branch is not allowed to leave my sight today—even studying must be done in the living room!"
So Jun Matsue picked up his schoolbag and sat back down at the dining table.
A few minutes later, Miss Idol pushed open the bedroom door, and the boy who was doing his homework looked up and blinked.
Is this all you're wearing?
"Let's exercise~" The girl in the tight-fitting sportswear jumped up and down a couple of times with a grin, her soft, unrestrained breasts swaying under her bra.
"..." The boy lowered his head.
Yosuke Kurusu took out the rolled-up yoga mat from the corner, spread it out on the balcony, and began to do elegant and soothing yoga.
"Songzhi, will my phone call with Ju-jie affect your studies?"
