Am I being simulated by their love affair?

She waved, "See you next time, Pine Branch!"

See you next time.

The girl politely nodded to the shop assistant, pushed open the door, and the boy watched her figure slowly disappear into the distance, like a green tree that was still full of life in winter.

After glancing down at the book in his hand, Jun Matsue quickly finished his yogurt and walked out of the cake shop.

He wanted to feel the cold wind outside to dispel the gentle warmth on his body.

Chapter 777 The Niche of the Girls

Thursday, the first day of the latter half of November, was also the day Natsumi Imokawa visited the H&M office for the first time.

At 3:20 p.m., just as the school bell rang, Jun Matsue looked up and saw a familiar figure hurrying past the classroom window in the corridor.

He got up on instinct, opened the back door of the classroom, and as expected—what appeared in front of the boy was Imokawa Natsumi's panting face.

"Songzhi, I forgot I was supposed to be on duty, so I might be a little late."

“It’s okay if it’s a little late.” Jun Matsue took out his phone and glanced at it. “Kurasu also said he would be at the company at four o’clock.”

"Okay." The girl with the rag in her hand walked towards the toilet again, waving hurriedly.

"I'll come find you later."

The boy closed the back door again, blocking out the cold air from outside—the girl who was sitting by the door tidying up stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him.

"Is it about what Jun-kun mentioned on Sunday?"

Tomatsu Yuka clasped her hands together and made a "click-click" motion to press the shutter.

Jun Matsue nodded, then shook his head.

"This isn't my task; my only responsibility is—"

He put his right hand in front of his mouth and made the "aba aba" gesture as his lips opened and closed.

The girl tilted her head. "Is this a meal?"

"..." The boy looked helpless. "It's about speaking."

Tomatsu chuckled, while Matsueda Jun returned to his seat to pack his things—he was wondering whether to go and help Imokawa.

"Then I'll head back now?"

The boy looked up and saw Mochizuki Haruka standing beside him, carrying a uniform bag with a golden pom-pom hanging from it—the pom-pom was made by her a few days ago from the feathers that fell from the golden branch.

"Be careful on the road." He nodded. "I probably won't be going home for dinner tonight."

"I know." The girl turned her face away, her posture haughty. "I'm going to find my aunt for dinner."

Tomatsu Yuka, who was packing her things, stopped what she was doing and looked at her.

"What?" Mochizuki Haruka blinked, returning the gaze without backing down.

The girl simply smiled gently and then lowered her head to tidy up her desk.

Mochizuki didn't plan to go with them? Tomatsu Yuka stared at the uniform bag on her lap, deep in thought.

After the aloof young lady left the classroom first, the girl left in her seat took out her phone and found the black cat avatar in the chat box that she rarely clicked.

"Tsun-kun and Imokawa Natsumi went to find Kuraki Yosei, aren't you going with them?"

"Why would I go with them?" Mochizuki Haruka replied quickly, "They're just annoying to look at."

So it was just an ostrich disguise… Tomatsu Yuka pursed her lips.

She looked up at the boy next to her who was packing his schoolbag.

If someone can pretend to be an ostrich while gazing at the moon, what about themselves?

The girl thought for a moment and then picked up her schoolbag.

"Is Yuka leaving?" Jun Matsue turned his head.

"Hmm~" Tomatsu Yuka smiled, carrying her bag, "How are Tsun-kun and Imokawa-kun going to the agency later?"

The boy took out his phone and said, "Kurasu's manager will come to pick us up."

"Okay." The girl waved her little hand and backed out the back door.

Have a safe trip!

Jun Matsue got out of his seat and quickly followed her. Tomatsu Tomoka looked surprised.

"Anyway, we'll leave for Imogawa later, so I'll see you out of the school gate first."

"Okay~" The girl smiled sweetly as she took his arm.

Jun Matsueda had told the girl a few days ago that he wanted to go to Kurusu's office with Imokawa.

In fact, given his personality, he wouldn't tell others such private matters—Imokawa wanted to ask him for help, and Kurusu was willing to agree, all because of their trust in him, not because they liked their affairs being revealed to others.

However, both Mochizuki and Tomatsu were his lovers, and Matsueda Jun felt it necessary to inform them of his whereabouts—so the boy did say so, but not too much, just indicating that he wouldn't be available at the time.

The wind wasn't strong today, and golden leaves were still fluttering down the school avenue, making a crisp cracking sound under the feet of the boys and girls.

They arrived at the school gate quickly. The sunlight at this time had long lost its heat, leaving only a cool golden hue spreading across the road in front of them.

"That's enough for now." Tomatsu Yuka let go of his hand and tidied the boy's wind-blown hair.

Jun Matsue lowered his head slightly, letting the girl style his hair. "Remember to message me when you get home."

"Also, as I said before, if anything happens, tell me in time, don't keep it to yourself."

The girl's smile was brighter than the sunshine on the street.

"I know~"

Watching Tomatsu's skirt disappear at the end of the road, Matsueda Jun turned and walked towards the school building—a few minutes later, he reappeared at the school gate with two schoolbags in his arms and a girl with a camera slung over her shoulder.

“Thanks to Matsugi’s help…” Natsumi Imokawa breathed softly as she peered out the doorway.

"Which car belongs to the firm?"

“It’s over there.” The boy pointed to the gray car that was close to them on the right side of the school gate.

Approaching the car and opening the door, Jun Matsue let the girl get in first, watching her bend over and lift her skirt to reveal the fleshy color of her thighs.

He hasn't even put on thigh-high socks yet...Imokawa, aren't you afraid of the cold?

The two got into the car, and the female agent in the driver's seat turned around, took off her sunglasses, and smiled.

"Can we set off now?"

She had parked her car here a few minutes earlier and watched Jun Matsueda drop off another girl from school—who was clearly not the one she was supposed to pick up.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Ju." The boy nodded politely. "We had some cleaning duties, which took a little longer."

"Hello, Ms. Tachibana." Natsumi Imokawa's voice was noticeably more reserved. "Um, thank you for your hard work today!"

"No need to be so polite." The woman waved her hand, gripped the steering wheel, and started the car.

“We are in an equal cooperative relationship, and you and Yang Shi have known each other for a long time.”

"..." The girl holding the camera glanced at the boy beside her.

“I’m not as close to Yang Shisang as Songzhi.”

The agent, who was driving, couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"No one could be as close to Yangshi as Matsueda-kun is~"

Jun Matsue paused with a strange expression, then glanced at the girl beside him. Imokawa blinked in confusion.

"Did I say something wrong?" she leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing..." The boy looked at the road ahead of the car. "Is Kurusu at the company right now?"

"Yes, I am." The woman turned at the intersection. "Yoshi must be looking forward to meeting you. She's been talking to me a lot about Ms. Imokawa's ideas these past few days."

Matsueda Jun turned his head to the side, "Has Imagawa already talked to him beforehand?"

“Of course.” Natsumi Imokawa’s expression softened. “Yoshi-san said that a bonus album will be released in December, so we need to hurry up and finalize the filming plan.”

"You've already called Yang Shisang..." the boy blinked.

It seems they've grown closer quite quickly.

"So what's your mission at the firm today?"

"Hmm..." The girl took out her phone from her skirt pocket and opened the memo she had written down earlier.

"I met with Yang Shisang's manager and the art director in charge of the single album to discuss the draft of the bonus music video."

"The main discussion is about the actual filming process," the agent, who was driving, added. "I have no objections to Ms. Imokawa's proposal."

"Thank you." Natsumi Imokawa, now in professional mode, nodded naturally.

"If all goes well, then it'll be time to sign the contract. Remember to show it to Dad—oh, that's what's in parentheses..."

“I don’t think Iogawa will have any problems even if I don’t come along,” Jun Matsue smiled.

"That won't do!" The girl shook her head decisively.

"I can only feel at ease when there are pine branches around!"

"..." Listening to the conversation between the two people in the back seat, the woman holding the steering wheel couldn't help but glance at them in the rearview mirror.

Why does it feel like this Imokawa-kun is also a love rival in the human world?

The agent looked away and gazed at the sign on the road ahead that read "Shinjuku Ward".

What is her idol girl thinking?

The drive from Haneoka High School to the building in Shinjuku 3-chome is just over twenty minutes. Before the Tokyo sun completely sets, the boy and girl walk into the H&M office together.

“Wow…” Natsumi Imokawa raised her camera and pointed it at the simple and elegant curtain wall and modern style ceiling decoration of the office’s reception area.

"Is this what it feels like to work for a big company?"

Subconsciously, she pressed the shutter button. Only when the receptionist's gaze followed the sound of the shutter did the girl belatedly put down her camera.

"Uh, can I take a picture?" she asked the boy next to her.

"It's fine to take some photos in the lobby and corridor, just make sure you don't accidentally take any photos of documents or promotional materials later, Ms. Imokawa."

The agent leading the way slowed down and turned to look at the camera in the girl's hand.

"The photos are really good. Ms. Imokawa, please send them to me later. Maybe we can add them to the company website's promotional images."

The three walked toward the elevator. The woman in the lead pressed the button on the wall and waited. Jun Matsue stood behind her, watching the girl next to him holding a camera and excitedly turning her head.

It was like taking care of a child... He couldn't help but smile.

The elevator quickly descended to the first floor, and as the heavy metal doors opened, the boy's eyes were filled with the girl's dazzling figure.

"Why did Yang Shi come down?" The agent raised an eyebrow.

"I'm coming down to pick you up." Yosei Kurusu stood in the middle of the elevator and waved energetically to the three of them.

"Welcome, Natsumi-chan! Welcome, Matsue!"

Miss Idol stretched out her arm and pulled the boy and girl standing outside the elevator inside, while Miss Tachibana followed behind them with a smile.

"Thank you, Yoshi-san." Imokawa Natsumi politely released her hand, blinking enviously.

"You look so beautiful today..."

Jun Matsue's gaze naturally shifted over there.

Lai Xi was wearing a pure white woolen coat with a short hem and the zipper was not zipped up, revealing a gray fitted undershirt, which generously showed off the girl's excellent proportions and slender waist.

Her lower body featured black shorts that exposed half of her thighs; the stiff denim-like material, paired with long boots, created a cool and stylish look.

Her striking white-on-top, black-on-bottom outfit, combined with her flawless face and vibrant long legs, created a unique and radiant aura.

Faced with the girl's praise, Yosei Kurusu puffed out his chest without any shame.

"I look good in everything!"

"Is it, pine branch?" She turned her head and winked at the boy.

"Aren't you cold dressed like that?" Jun Matsue replied unmoved.

"..." Miss Idol glared at him angrily and stepped out of the open elevator first.
