Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"Isn't this the youngest daughter of the Yami family? What is she doing here?"

The woman looked at the gentle, forest-girl with a soft smile. Because Mochizuki Haruka and Tomatsu Yuka didn't want to stand together, Yamami Maki ended up standing in front of Matsueda Jun.

Mochizuki sighed, "Yamami Maki, Tomatsu Yuka's senior, is considered her wingman."

"Hmm..." Wang Yuehua lay on the big bed and thought for a while, "Let's include her too, let's count her as half a rival in love for now."

"Helping your best friend pursue a guy, but ending up falling for him yourself instead—aren't there many stories like this?"

"That's just something that happens in TV dramas..." the girl said helplessly. "But if something like that really happened..."

"Tomoka Tomatsu's expression must be priceless, right?"

She suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for how this would unfold.

"Speaking of which, are these the only rivals Haruka has? I feel like Matsue is quite popular, right?" The woman lay on her side on the bed, her form-fitting nightgown outlining her curves, a seductive beauty that only Mochizuki Haruka could see.

The girl sneered, "That Tomatsu guy is so cunning, he's secretly eliminated countless rivals in love."

Not to mention that she herself later joined the team guarding Matsueda Jun, so now the only ones in Haneoka Takasato who dare to take any action are probably the freshmen who have just entered the school.

"Alright!" Auntie straightened up and knelt on the quilt. "Now let's rack our brains and think of a way to win over Songzhi!"

Mochizuki Haruka subconsciously leaned forward, her expression even more focused than when she was listening to Matsueda Jun's tutoring.

"Hmm... Songzhi's personality is rather troublesome, so it's generally better to win her over slowly."

Does he have feelings for you?

"Yes, and it's definitely more than just 'ordinary friends' in his eyes." The girl was very confident, as evidenced by the phone call that asked her to return to Tokyo.

"That makes things easier." The woman nodded. "He's been tutoring you lately, so you should seize the opportunity."

"You don't need to be overly proactive in trying to please him, but you must show your affection for him through subtle details."

"Then you need to find a way to create an ambiguous atmosphere, so he doesn't feel like he has everything under his control..."

After school the next day, Jun Matsue sat by the library window, waiting for Haruka Mochizuki to arrive.

"Sorry, it took me a little longer to get to the elective class classroom." The girl's voice sounded behind him.

"It hasn't been long." The boy shook his head, then noticed that Mochizuki Haruka, who usually sat across the table, was sitting next to him today.

Why don't you sit across from me?

Jun Matsuoka turned to ask her. The girl had changed into a summer skirt, and if he lowered his gaze slightly, he could see the fair skin of her thighs under the skirt.

"If you sit across from me, the exam paper has to be passed back and forth, and you have to stand up and turn your head to read the questions. Isn't that a lot of trouble?"

"Does Songzhi think so too?"

The girl blinked, her expression sincere and natural.

Chapter 273 Restless Legs

Mochizuki Haruka was sitting quite far from the table, so her legs occupied a large part of Matsueda Jun's peripheral vision.

Her thighs were firm, her calves were slender, and her skin was fair and smooth. Because she was sitting on the chair, the soft flesh on her thighs was slightly deformed, making one want to cover it with their whole palm and stroke it back and forth to enjoy the wonderful touch.

Although she is not very tall, she has a great body proportion, which makes her very suitable for outfits that accentuate her waistline. For example, during a swimming class in PE class, the girl in the swimsuit with her slim waist and long legs attracted the admiring gazes of many girls.

"...Anyway, it's just tutoring you, so whatever you find convenient is fine."

Matsueda Jun opened his book. He felt that Mochizuki Haruka's skirt was a little short, but it wasn't appropriate to say it out loud.

"Then let's sit on the same side."

As the girl adjusted her skirt, she took the opportunity to move closer to Matsueda Jun, bringing them a little closer together.

"Yesterday's homework." She handed the exercises to Jun Matsueda, but instead of retracting her outstretched right hand, she placed it between them, bringing them a little closer together.

The boy opened the exercise book to check his work and casually placed a notebook in front of the girl. "Today's topic is landform structure. You can take a look at it yourself first."

Mochizuki Haruka was somewhat surprised, "Don't you not take notes?"

Jun Matsue nodded. "I borrowed this from Tomatsu. Stop talking nonsense and take a look."

"Oh……"

The girl opened her notebook, which was filled with neat and tidy handwriting. Different colored marks distinguished the key points, difficult points, and the original text, making it concise and clear.

That guy's notes were actually quite useful, Mochizuki Haruka thought, feeling a small sense of vengeful pleasure.

Tomatsu Tomohana was actually quite happy to lend her the notes, because the faster the girl learned, the less time they would have to spend alone together.

"You did this homework during the day, didn't you?" Jun Matsue suddenly remembered someone writing furiously in class today.

"...I chatted with my aunt until quite late last night."

Mochizuki Haruka admitted that she was quite engrossed in her aunt's analysis last night. With the teachings of the Mochizuki family head and the two strategy manuals she had written down, totaling 757 points, she felt that winning over the boy next to her would be no problem at all.

No, Article 757 is invalid; it should now be Article 756.

"Just be careful with your time management. Don't let me make up for the classes you missed and then you fall behind on new classes."

Wouldn't that allow Songzhi to continue tutoring her...? The girl wore a thoughtful expression.

"Don't think about weird things." Jun Matsueda placed the homework in front of her. "Good job, keep it up."

The workbook was filled with circles, and there were practically no mistakes. Mochizuki Haruka puffed out her chest in satisfaction. She wasn't stupid to begin with; she just had taken too many days off.

However, the fact that the two were in the same class was indeed the result of manipulation by the Mochizuki family—if she hadn't been so preoccupied with her rival at the time, Tomatsu Yuka would never have been in the same class as Matsueda Jun.

"Class is starting." The boy tapped the desk lightly with his pen, turning his body towards Mochizuki Haruka, and the girl also turned slightly.

"..." Jun Matsue glanced under the table; the girl's knees were only a few centimeters away from his legs.

"Geomorphic structures are formed by crustal movements. Take Mount Fuji, Japan's most famous mountain, as an example..."

The two-seater window overlooks the road outside the school. Students from the home section can no longer be seen on the sidewalk outside the fence. The noise gradually subsides, with only cars occasionally passing by, chasing a few small stones to the side of the road.

Jun Matsueda explained things in a very simple and easy-to-understand way, and judging from Haruka Mochizuki's expression, her understanding should be fine too. However, he always felt that something was interfering with his teaching mindset—

Two long, bare legs kept dangling under Jun Matsuoka's nose, giving him an urge to swat them like flies and make them behave.

However, the feel of a young girl's thigh is definitely much more comfortable than swatting a fly.

"Let's take a break." Jun Matsueda picked up his water glass and looked out the window. The striking white finally disappeared from his sight.

Looking at the boy's profile, Mochizuki Haruka smiled smugly to herself; as expected, Matsue would react.

Just as she was planning her next move, the door to the study room slowly opened, and several boys walked into the hall with curious expressions, seemingly freshmen who were here for the first time.

They walked deeper into the hall where the two were, and Mochizuki Haruka patted Matsueda Jun on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Jun Matsuoka turned his head.

The girl glanced at the approaching boys again. "I want to change seats."

Jun Matsue stood up and left his seat. The girl sat by the window, and just as he sat down again, the boys passed by in the aisle.

Their gazes swept over the expressionless beautiful girl, lingered for a second longer, and then sadly turned away when they saw Matsueda Jun's face, walking out through the other door.

"Should we switch it back?"

"No need." The girl shook her head. "I don't want strangers staring at my legs."

Matsueda Jun looked at Mochizuki Haruka's lower body. She had secretly rolled up her skirt before entering the study room, and after sitting down on the chair, the skirt was even shorter. Although it wasn't enough to expose her, it was enough to arouse people's imaginations.

Although the girl's legs were hidden under the table, they were still alluring from the side. Now, Matsueda Jun was sitting on the outside, which was perfect for protecting her absolute territory.

Matsueda Jun sighed, meaning he didn't want unrelated people to spy on him, which meant he hoped someone could enjoy it freely.

"It does look very nice, but don't roll your skirt up so short next time."

"I understand." Mochizuki Haruka nodded obediently, her posture like that of a docile kitten.

"Let's continue the lesson."

After the tutoring session ended, Mochizuki Haruka sat in the car on her way home and started sending messages to her strategist.

"The effect seems good."

The head of the Wangyue family, who was staying at home in the manor, replied quickly, "Congratulations! Go all out!"

"But I feel like I'm going to be taken down first..."

A question mark appeared in the chat box, but Mochizuki Haruka didn't reply. She just touched her burning earlobe and lost in thought.

The slight air of unquestionable authority in the boy's tone made the girl feel like she had become his alone.

During the lunch break on the second day, Mochizuki Haruka stood next to Matsueda Jun's seat, holding yesterday's exercises in her hand.

"Pine branch, I don't quite understand this question."

"Let me see." Jun Matsue took the notebook and was about to speak when the loudspeaker at the front door of the classroom suddenly started vibrating.

"Class monitors of grades one and two, please proceed to the meeting room as soon as possible—"

"It seems I can't teach you for the time being." He looked at Mochizuki Haruka, and the girl shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

“Actually, we don’t need to wait for Matsueda-san.” Another girl’s voice suddenly rang out beside the two of them.

The girl sitting on the right turned around, a kind and understanding smile on her face.

"Since Matsueda-kun has something to do, you can ask me."

Tomatsu Tomoka, feeling uneasy, felt she had to do something.

Chapter 274 A Study Session for Four

"Since Matsueda-kun has something to do, you can ask me."

Mochizuki Haruka glanced at Tomatsu Yuka, who was all smiles, but she didn't say anything. She just watched Matsueda Jun walk out of the classroom.

"It's best to resolve problems as soon as possible, otherwise you might forget about them if you keep putting it off," Tomatsu Yuka reminded her.

"Don't worry about it." Mochizuki Haruka returned to her seat. "Matsue has a very good memory, she wouldn't forget."

Tomatsu Yuka simply smiled faintly, then turned to chat with Mizushima Miya sitting at the table in front of her.

When Jun Matsue arrived at the conference room, he was a little early. There were only a few people around the conference table yet. He met the gaze of Maki Yami, who had looked up.

The senior student was attending as a student council member. The girl quietly waved to him and pointed to the first seat next to her. Matsueda Jun walked towards her.

Each class's nameplate was placed in front of their seat, arranged in a circular order. As the class monitor of the last class of the second year of high school, Matsueda Jun sat right next to Yamami Maki at the end of the arc.

After taking his seat, the senior smiled at him. The meeting room was quiet, and the girl seemed too shy to speak.

Sitting opposite the two, Tsushima Kou quickly and considerately started a conversation for her, "Matsueda arrived early. How's the news department doing lately?"

"It's operating stably so far, and the quality of the new students is quite good. There's nothing to worry about."

"That's good." Tsushima Kou nodded. "I felt quite emotional after I left the department. I felt like I had become a retired old man."

"Ah, I feel the same way!" Yamami Maki naturally joined the conversation. "But we're much more tired than the elderly; we have a ton of test papers to do every day~"

"Sometimes when I relax, I also worry a little. Is it too much of a burden for Yuka to lead the brass band all by herself?"

The girl chatted with Jun Matsueda about the recent developments in the brass band, while Kou Tsushima watched the two talking with a smile.

Tsushima Kou knew her colleagues in the student council quite well. She usually sat on the left, but today she deliberately switched to the right, so she was able to sit and chat quietly with Matsueda Jun.

So, Yamami Maki has finally fallen for him? The former news chief was very confident in his judgment. He thought of a junior colleague who had once asked him to help her, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

As a journalist, Tsushima Kou has a strong sense of secrecy. He doesn't plan to tell anyone about his discovery, but only intends to pay more attention to this strange love triangle in the future, as one of the few things to do to alleviate the boredom of his senior year of high school.

After all the class monitors arrived, the student council president, who was sitting at the head of the table in the center, finally looked up. He had been reviewing the documents in his hand to ensure that there were no mistakes in the meeting content.

"Thank you all for attending the meeting. Today's main focus is on discussing and explaining the student council's leadership transition and election process..."

Half an hour later, Jun Matsue finally walked out of the meeting room. "Is the student council election really this complicated?"

“Because we have to go through all the election procedures.” Yamami Maki walked beside him. “Forming an election management committee, registering candidates, holding campaign briefings, giving speeches, and voting.”

The two walked together to the third floor. Although Tsushima Kou's second class was also on the third floor, Matsueda Jun had not seen him since the meeting ended, and did not know where he had gone.

"If it officially starts in June, it could take two or three months to finish."

"It feels almost like a real election..." Jun Matsueda secretly rejoiced that he hadn't considered joining the student council.

“That’s true.” Yami Maki smiled. Her uncle was a member of the Setagaya Ward assembly, and she had witnessed the actual election process up close many times.
