Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"You can enjoy all this without even leaving your home for less than a kilometer. I have to say, Wangyue's eye for location is truly authoritative."

"This isn't a matter of taste, is it?" Yami Maki reached out and gently brushed aside the tender leaves at the edge of the bush as she walked.

"Yotsuya is in the heart of Tokyo, not as bustling as Shinjuku, so the standard of living here won't be bad."

"So the key is still financial resources," Jun Matsue summarized for her.

The girl nodded. "But I still have to thank Mochizuki-san."

"Without her, we would have had a hard time finding an apartment that met our needs so well."

"..." The boy stared at her bangs, which were being blown by the evening breeze, for a while, and then smiled silently.

"I also have to thank Moji."

Yamami Maki blinked in confusion, "Thank me for what?"

Jun Matsue stopped and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Thank you for Moji's gentleness, understanding and support."

If Haruka is the material foundation that ensures the current Wakaba Town apartment, then Senpai is the spiritual pillar that has supported him from the moment he made his decision until now.

Even when she's in the apartment, she's the most indispensable person there.

Xiaoyao is willful, Yangshi is indifferent, and Youhua is always harboring ulterior motives. Only the senior is the most reliable and trustworthy. Whenever there is a conflict in the apartment, she is always the one who steps forward to mediate or makes concessions first.

Of course, when it comes to her and Tsunkun's happiness, the young girl will not easily back down.

"Hmm..." Yamami Maki blinked in the boy's arms.

"Shouldn't I get a reward?"

He gently kissed his girlfriend in the evening breeze and the shadows of the trees, and looking at her slightly flushed cheeks, Jun Matsue felt a distinct sense of accomplishment.

"Back then, my senior would get so shy just from a hug in public, but now she's so eager for a kiss!"

The girl's face turned even redder, and she glanced guiltily at the woods in the park beside her.

"That's because I like Jun more now..."

There were no matches on the sports field today; probably because it's Golden Week, all the middle school students have gone out to play. The two, hand in hand, slipped into a side alley across the street and casually browsed a Western-style tableware shop.

As he walked out of the store, Jun Matsuoka inexplicably found himself holding a set of exquisite cutlery.

The sky outside was almost completely dark. The boy hugged his girlfriend tightly and glanced at the time on her phone.

"Shouldn't we go back for dinner?"

"Hmm!" Yami Maki put away her phone and smiled as she looked at the cloth bag in his hand.

"Tsunku has changed too~"

"I used to complain about not being able to eat at roadside stalls and that supermarkets were too far from home—now I enjoy shopping and even buy things on my own initiative."

"After all, I have to go shopping with you guys quite often," Jun Matsue replied without changing his expression.

"Wouldn't it be too painful if we didn't learn to adapt quickly?"

"And Wakaba Town isn't as 'humane' as I thought..."

He walked out of the alley and glanced in the direction of the apartment.

Over the past few months, the boyfriends have accompanied their girlfriends on a tour of the entire area around the apartment.

It turns out there are also self-operated agricultural product stores in the alley west of the apartment... After discovering that he could still buy high-quality and inexpensive vegetables, he became more patient with this prime real estate area.

"Anyway, I've discovered a lot of interesting places~" Yami Maki counted on her fingers.

"Housew's club, wine shop, art gallery, vegetarian restaurant..."

She looked up and said, "I want to go see them all with Chun!"

"I probably can't go to the housewives' club, right?" Jun Matsueda raised an eyebrow and looked at the park across the street.

"We went to the Civil Engineering Institute library last time, but we haven't received our library cards yet, have we?"

"It should be delivered to the apartment in a couple of days~" The girl shook his arm.

"Speaking of which, summer is almost here—besides the park near the station, shouldn't we also visit Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Jingu Gaien nearby?"

"No rush, one at a time..." The boy led his girlfriend by the hand toward the Italian restaurant.

"Anyway, they're all there; they won't run away."

The Italian dinner was delicious. After dinner, the two strolled around a nearby shopping mall for an hour before heading home.

The streets of Wakabacho are much quieter than the area around Yotsuya Station. Rows of dim, yellowish streetlights mark out their respective areas on the dark streets—if you were walking alone on such a street, you would feel a little uneasy or lonely.

However, Jun Matsue was not alone—walking hand in hand with the girl, feeling the warmth in her palms and the soft hair brushing against his shoulders, he felt a clear sense of happiness silently spreading through his heart.

"Chun?"

"Hmm?" The boy turned his head, and Yamami Maki was looking at him under the streetlight.

Because of his presence, the senior student curiously drank some pre-dinner wine during the meal, and her cheeks still had a slightly ambiguous rosy hue.

A thin layer of mist still clung to the girl's eyes, making her gaze appear somewhat hazy.

The senior student looked absolutely adorable with the bouquet of pure white jasmine in her arms. Matsueda Jun leaned over and nuzzled her nose.

What is Moji thinking about?

"I was thinking about my meeting with my sister before..." Yami Maki's expression was somewhat wistful.

She turned her head and leaned on the boy's shoulder, appearing delicate and vulnerable.

"My sister asked about marriage and children this afternoon... I was a little at a loss, but I didn't expect Chun to answer so firmly."

To be honest, although she had made up her mind to be with Tsunkun and protect his happiness, the usually composed girl hadn't thought that much about it during this period.

Because the rules, responsibilities, and obligations that had weighed on her had all disappeared, and the Nozomi family was there to back her up in Wakaba Town—Yamami Maki had no other desires but to do what she was supposed to do and what she wanted to do, and to enjoy the happiness of the moment.

As for the future... after deviating from the system's preset path, her life experience will no longer be of much use.

The only thing the girl was clear about was standing with the person she loved, taking things one step at a time.

When her older sister asked about the wedding and the children, and when Tsun-kun said, "Whatever Maki likes," Yami Maki found herself deeply moved, even though she had expected it.

Jun-kun was always thinking about the future and her own happiness—this sense of security made even a girl who couldn't hold her liquor willing to take a sip.

"Actually, I didn't say much, just the most basic promise." Junya Matsueda turned his head and leaned on his girlfriend's shoulder.

"After all, I'm the one who dragged my senior into this mess, so of course I have to take responsibility for you to the end."

"What quagmire!" Yamami Maki glared at him. "Jun-kun isn't that bad!"

The boy laughed, "I'm just speaking from an outsider's perspective."

"What other people think doesn't matter!" the girl said firmly. "Our own happiness is all that matters!"

Jun Matsue nodded. "That's right."

"Speaking of which, things have settled down for Tsunkun now, right?" Yami Maki asked, turning her head.

"Natsumi and I have already... gone all the way. Yuka's parents came to the apartment to check it out before, and they didn't give anything away. Yosei-san's career is also progressing smoothly."

She blinked. "In the end, it seems like I'm the one who caused the most trouble for Chunjun?"

"It's not much trouble, just dealing with your sister." The boy waved his hand.

"You don't need to worry too much about your family's affairs, I think things are fine as they are now."

"If you want to stay in touch, meet with your sister and mother more often. Don't be afraid of your father if you run into him—"

"Wangyue always says that you're now part of their family, so you can have Wangyue's family back you up."

The girl laughed, "That will definitely make Father even angrier!"

"Let me be angry—no matter how angry I am, there's nothing I can do about it, isn't that more satisfying?"

The two chatted as they walked into the apartment. Jun Matsueda casually pressed the elevator button and watched the numbers on the display screen rise step by step.

From the anticipation of the first day of check-in to the current routine—although he has long been accustomed to this scene, he still enjoys the moment of stepping out of the elevator to go home.

"In that case, there's really nothing to worry about right now." The boy led his girlfriend out of the elevator.

"The only thing to worry about is whether my relationship with you will attract attention in several universities after the freshmen have gotten to know each other in a few months."

“This is actually quite easy to solve.” Yamami Maki clutched the jasmine flowers in her arms tightly. “At worst, we can just spend less time at school and find another excuse for our superficial relationship.”

"It would be best if we didn't get any attention..." Jun Matsue stretched.

"Besides that, I also need to consider how to earn money during my internship."

"It's nothing to Jun-kun~" The girl handed the flowers in her arms to her boyfriend and took out the key to open the door to 602.

"Actually, I'm a little worried about the system—"

"Although Tsun-kun is trying to maintain simple interpersonal relationships, now that he's in university, what if the system suddenly contacts other people again like before...?"

"You'd have to ask you that," Jun Matsue said, watching her graceful figure disappear into the distance. "Has the system been making any moves lately?"

“Let me see…” Yamami Maki raised her head slightly.

The girl stopped moving quickly, turned around, and looked at her boyfriend.

"...disappeared."

"What?" Jun Matsueda blinked. "That mission?"

Yamami Maki shook her head, her expression somewhat confused.

"The system panel is missing."

Chapter 901 Ordinary Days (End of Main Text)

May 11th, the first Monday after the end of the Golden Week holiday.

For most people, it was just an ordinary, uninspiring day. However, after lunch, the "Mitaka-dai Rental Exchange Group" suddenly became lively—

"Anyone want to go to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden this afternoon?" Jun Matsueda suddenly sent a message.

The fastest reply came from "Kirakira's" profile picture.

"Isn't Songzhi supposed to be in class today? How come she has time to go out and play!"

"The teacher who was supposed to teach in the afternoon had to reschedule, so Yuhua and I are now free."

"What are you going to do?" the black cat avatar suddenly asked.

"The weather's nice today and I have some free time, so I thought I'd just go for a stroll~" A pure white rabbit avatar popped up and answered for the boy.

"Didn't my senior say the other day that the roses and hibiscus in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden were in bloom? Wouldn't it be a shame not to go see them?"

"I want to go too..." The penguin icon appeared silently.

“Here we come.” The boy posted a photo of the station entrance in the group chat.

"Yuka and I are already on our way. We'll wait for you at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden."

"Do you want me to take something with you?" the pale yellow parrot head asked considerately.

"I'm at home now, so I can prepare some picnic snacks or drinks, right?"

"Just bring a picnic blanket, Moji-chan!" A voice message popped up from a bright profile picture. "I have some afternoon tea from the company; I can steal a few boxes~"

"...Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Miss Idol did not respond further, so it seems that the decision has been made amicably.

Looking at the OK bird emoji that popped up on her phone screen, Mochizuki Haruka, sitting in the classroom, silently raised her head.

The elegantly dressed female teacher on the podium was still lecturing on fashion management—this was the first class, and the girl wouldn't finish her lesson until 3 p.m.

But she didn't want to listen anymore.

Glancing at her watch, Mochizuki Haruka rested her chin on one hand, gazing at the PowerPoint presentation on the podium, while gently tapping the table with the other hand...

Five minutes later, the bell rang, and the girl picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom without looking back.

Jun Matsue entered Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden at 2 p.m.

The sky was a clear, bright blue, and the drifting clouds looked like splashes of white paint. The intense sunlight already had the shape of summer, making it hard to open one's eyes.

So he and his girlfriend walked under the same parasol, and only put the parasol away when they stepped onto the shade of the trees on the entrance path.
