Am I being simulated by their love affair?

I don't know if he took the medicine... The boy thought back and found no trace of medicine in the living room or bedroom.

He moved his hand away, and the senior's brows, which had relaxed slightly, furrowed again—the girl subconsciously reached out and grasped the boy's hand.

Yamami Maki opened her eyes and looked groggily at the boy leaning against the headboard of her bed.

Her eyes first revealed unexpected joy, which then turned into a pitiful pleading.

The girl clenched her fists, leaned out of the covers, and tried to get closer to her sweetheart.

Yamami Maki tilted her head back, a few glistening tears glistening in the corners of her eyes and on her eyelashes. She gazed at the person she had longed for day and night, and spoke humbly and weakly.

"Chunjun, don't go..."

Chapter 773 The Flower of High Fever

The floor-to-ceiling curtains in the bedroom concealed the fine, continuous sound of rain. Jun Matsue bent over by the bed, looking at his senior who was holding him.

"Chunjun, don't go..."

The boy froze.

The heat in her hand as she grasped his slender wrist was intense, like the undisguised affection of a young girl.

Yamami Maki's eyes were misty with affection, evaporating the last vestiges of her rationality, allowing the boy looking at her to feel so directly the soft and beautiful heart and the feverish temperature of her love.

"do not go……"

The frail girl could do nothing more than gently shake his hand and mumble words of entreaty to keep him.

“I’m not leaving,” Jun Matsue said softly to her as he knelt by the bedside.

"But you need to take medication, right? Have you taken your medication yet?"

"..." Yamami Maki was still holding his right hand. She blinked, as if she had just come back to her senses.

"Why is Chun-jun here?"

The girl's expression was blank, and with the blush on her cheeks, she looked like a rose with dewdrops in the morning, showing a cute emptiness in her mind. The boy couldn't help but smile.

"Didn't I just get here—I chased the bad guys away for you with my baseball bat, have you forgotten?"

“Oh right…” The senior student’s mouth opened slightly.

Her expression instantly cleared, and she looked down at her wrinkled cotton pajamas before sitting up in a panic.

"Why am I still in bed—"

"Senior, you should rest in bed." Jun Matsue quickly tucked her back into the covers.

"You already have a fever, moving around will only make your cold worse."

"...Is that so?" The girl obediently shrank back into the covers.

She watched as the boy tucked the blanket tightly around her arm, preventing even a wisp of cold air from getting in.

How blissful… Yamami Maki thought wistfully.

"Yes, yes." Jun Matsue straightened up and looked at her. "You haven't taken your medicine yet, have you?"

"Hmm..." The girl peeked out from under the covers, her wet eyes blinking.

"I originally planned to buy medicine after dinner, but I felt dizzy after eating, so I rested first after washing the dishes..."

Don't you keep any cold medicine at home?

"..." The senior shrank further under the covers, only revealing a pair of anxious eyes.

"I haven't been sick since I moved here, so I wasn't prepared."

The boy shook his head helplessly. "Then there's no thermometer either?"

"No……"

Jun Matsue looked at the curtains by the bed; the rain continued to fall outside the French windows.

"I'll go buy you some medicine now. Senior, please rest well in bed, okay?"

"..." Yamami Maki peeked out from under the covers, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Will Matsueda-san come back?

"Definitely." The boy smiled. "Did you eat a lot for dinner, senior?"

"Not much, because you can't taste anything..." The girl tilted her head slightly.

"The umbrella is hanging behind the door, and the key is in the cabinet above the entrance. You can see it once you open it."

“Okay.” Jun Matsue left the bedside, grasped the bedroom doorknob, and glanced back.

"Senior, try not to get out of bed too much. Call me if you need anything."

"Good~"

Leaving the bedroom and closing the door under the girl's gaze, Jun Matsue pondered for a moment in front of the living room/kitchen, first opening the refrigerator to take a look before heading towards the entryway.

After changing his shoes and grabbing his keys and umbrella, he peeked through the peephole before cautiously using a metal baseball bat to quickly pry open the security door.

There was no one at the door, only the shimmering rain outside the corridor. The boy leaned on the railing and looked down again—but there was no one lying in ambush.

It seems there's no chance of a comeback... Jun Matsue puts the baseball bat back in the entryway, and a girl's call comes from inside the closed bedroom door.

"Is Matsueda-san heading out?"

"Okay," he replied, raising his voice. "I'll be back after I buy the medicine."

The bedroom fell silent again. The boy closed the security door, locked it from the inside with the key, turned it twice, and then walked out of the apartment with his umbrella, feeling reassured.

Common medicines like cold and fever medications can be bought at convenience stores, Jun Matsue said as he walked out of the alley.

Actually, there's a private internal medicine clinic near the apartment, just across the street from the automatic laundry room, but it's already closed at this time.

If the cold doesn't get better, I'll have to remind my senior to come and get it checked out... The boy raised his umbrella and noted down the clinic sign on the side of the road.

Upon entering the 24-hour 711-Eleven convenience store, Jun Matsueda quickly found cold medicine, fever reducers, and fever patches on the shelves. He also bought a cup of oden, instant noodles, and several bottles of vitamin C supplements with lemon designs.

While he was paying at the counter, his phone rang in his pocket. The cashier took the opportunity to glance at the young man a couple more times before continuing to scan the items.

Jun Matsueda answered the phone, "Senior?"

"Um, it's nothing..." the girl said, sounding a little embarrassed.

"I just dozed off again and realized that Matsueda-kun hasn't come back yet, so I'm a little worried..."

"I've already paid at the convenience store, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay, remember to wake me up when you get back..."

The boy held up his phone, his gaze soft, and the cashier in front of him unconsciously became flustered.

"Thank you."

After receiving the overflowing plastic bags and individually packaged oden from the shop assistant, Jun Matsueda turned and went back into the rainy night.

Two minutes later, the boy opened the door to room 404 again. He first loudly said, "I'm back," to reassure the girl in the bedroom.

After quickly changing his shoes, Jun Matsue left the food in the living room and carried the bag back to his bedroom.

Yamami Maki seemed to have fallen asleep again, and the boy walked to the bedside.

Her cheeks were flushed, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her restless sleeping face revealed a sickly beauty.

"..." Matsueda Jun did not wake her up immediately, but just watched her silently for a while.

If my senior had stayed with the Yamami family, she certainly wouldn't be as weak and helpless as an infant now.

At least her parents would make sure she takes her medicine on time, and she wouldn't panic so much because of a stranger knocking on the door.

The boy wasn't blaming himself; he respected his senior's choice and didn't want to see her like a caged parrot, carefree but without her own sky.

Moreover, the senior students who stayed at home weren't so happy.

Moreover, he still remembered the girl's bright and cheerful smile as she walked out of the convenience store carrying heavy plastic bags—

"I haven't had enough of this kind of life yet!"

"..." Jun Matsue placed the plastic bag on the bedside table, making a slight sound.

The boy was clearly aware that he seemed to be the only one left by the senior's side.

"Senior." He gently shook the girl's body through the blanket.

"...Tsun-kun is back?" Yami Maki opened her eyes and looked over groggily.

“You’re back.” Jun Matsue took out a thermometer from the bag and unpacked it.

"Let's take your temperature first."

"Oh~" the girl said softly, opening her mouth and sticking out her rosy tongue.

"Do I need to hold it in my mouth?"

"..." The boy glanced at her again and pressed the button on the electronic thermometer.

"Just tuck it under your armpit and wait for the beeping sound."

"Oh..." Yamami Maki reached out and took the thermometer from the blanket, fiddling with it for a while.

"Remember to clamp it tighter, that way the measurement will be faster," Jun Matsue reminded him.

"Oh." The girl stopped moving in bed, her head sticking out as she stared blankly at him.

"I'll boil some water first." The boy walked out of the room. "I'll take my medicine after I take my temperature."

Leaving the bubbling of the electric kettle in the living room, he carried the oden back to the bedroom—his senior classmate on the bed hadn't changed her position, staring at the ceiling like a silly quail.

After Matsueda Jun closed the door, the girl's gaze returned to him. The boy sat down at a small table with a computer nearby, eating oden while sending a message to his idol to reassure her.

After eating a skewer of fish balls and drinking a few sips of hot oden soup, Jun Matsue put down his cup and met the girl's expectant gaze.

"Does the senior want some too?" He shook the paper cup in his hand.

“Yes!” Yamami Maki nodded honestly.

"Watching Matsueda eat makes me feel hungry too..."

The boy smiled and said, "Then I'll give it to you after the senior takes your temperature."

"I also bought instant noodles, so you can eat them if you get hungry at night."

"..." The girl blinked. Did he mean he wouldn't stay the night?

A crisp beeping sound rang out in the blankets, and Yamami Maki stopped thinking and pulled the thermometer out from under her arm.

"Thirty-eight degrees..."

"Let me see." Jun Matsue went over to check the temperature. "It's alright, not a high fever."

"Let's put on a fever-reducing patch first." He squatted down next to the girl again. "Besides dizziness and fever, do you have any other symptoms, senior?"

"..." Yamami Maki took a moment to assess the situation, "I feel okay, but I'm a little thirsty."

"Then take fever reducer."

The boy handed the tissues from the bedside to the female student and then opened the plastic bag to take out the fever-reducing patch.

"Let me wipe your forehead and put a fever-reducing patch on you."

The girl wiped her burning forehead and smoothed her messy bangs.

As the boy tore open the packaging and brought the ice-blue soft patch closer, Yamami Maki subconsciously closed her eyes, then quickly opened them again.

A cool touch pressed against her forehead, and her eyelashes fluttered as she carefully examined the palm lines of the man she loved.

"Okay." Jun Matsue gently pressed the fever-reducing patch firmly and smoothed it out.

"This will only make you feel better temporarily; you still need to take your medication."

He picked up the warm paper cup from the bedside table.

"Let's eat some oden first, and then we'll take our medicine?"

The girl nodded obediently, watching the boy bring the paper cup to her lips—it's definitely inconvenient to eat in bed, so feeding him is a normal thing.

Jun Matsue picked up the skewer with the bamboo roll attached from the cup, drained the water by touching the rim of the cup, and then brought it to the girl's lips.

"Ah..."
