So the MC (周) helped a girl (真昼?) and give her his umbrella after failing to
convince her to not sit in the park while it was raining. The next day she
waited in front of his house to return it, only to find him sick with fever.
So she helped him inside and this exchange happened. What does
真昼に思ったような事を周にも思ったらしい真昼が素っ気なく返す mean here? I am very confused by the 思った parts.

question
meaning translation
What does this sentence mean? 『真昼に思ったような事を周にも思ったらしい真昼が素っ気なく返す』
に is simply _to(wards)_ here and にも is _also to_.

> 真昼に思ったような事を what (MC) felt towards Mahiru
>
> 周にも思ったらしい seemingly felt towards Amane

is a relative clause (with an embedded clause) modifying 真昼.

So

> 真昼1に3思ったような事を周に4も思ったらしい真昼2が素っ気なく返す

translates

> Mahiru2, who seemed to feel (also) for4 Amane something like what Amane felt
> for3 Mahiru1, made a simple reply

I marked subscripted numbers to indicate which 真昼 etc. is rendered.
