Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 127: One Step Further, Her Kiss

When the golden dusk completely sank into the sea, time quietly came to eight o'clock in the evening.

"Here, mineral water."

In a small park in Bunkyo Ward, Watanabe Yu handed mineral water to Amemiya Ayana who was sitting on a bench, and then sat down next to her.

"Thank you."

The Saint Miss thanked her, took the mineral water, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip.

"Tell me about it."

Watanabe Yuya unscrewed his bottle of mineral water and gulped down a big gulp.

They visited many places and took many photos today.

"say what?"

Amemiya Ayana turned her eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu with a puzzled look.

To be honest, she didn't quite get what he meant.

"Tell me what's on your mind."

Watanabe Yu put the cap on the bottle of mineral water, put the water aside, then stretched his arms slightly and placed them on the back of the bench.

"…My worries? What worries could I have?"

The Saint Lady pursed her lips and closed the cap on the bottle of mineral water, with a hint of "what nonsense are you talking about" in her tone.

"..."

Watanabe Yu didn't say anything, but just raised his eyes and looked at the park lights three meters away.

In the hazy night, the white light of the floodlight illuminates the nearby area, and the leaves of the low shrubs in the green belt are also illuminated.

The sounds of cicadas and the conversations of passers-by mixed together, and the summer night in the city finally had a leisurely feeling at this moment.

"Is it that obvious?"

The Saint Lady turned her head and looked at his profile.

It was just that due to the backlighting, she couldn't see his profile clearly.

"What do you think? Your emotions are written all over your face - just kidding."

Watanabe Yu shrugged, then coughed lightly, and his tone became serious.

"If it's just your question, the answer is not obvious. You hide your emotions very well."

Having said that, he turned his head and met the gaze of the Saint Lady.

As their eyes met, he could clearly see every subtle expression on that delicate little face.

"…Then how did you figure that out?"

Amemiya Ayana hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

Just now, she recalled today's itinerary in her mind.

After reviewing the situation in her mind, she felt that there were no obvious flaws and her external performance was also normal.

——This is also true even for Ayana Amamiya.

"It's my intuition. Throughout the whole day, I can clearly feel that you are not in a very good mood. Hmm... It's like you have some psychological burden."

Watanabe Yuu withdrew his gaze from her and gave an example.

"For example, when taking photos, normally you are more enthusiastic, like a lively little bird, but today you are obviously much more reserved. Although you are also lively, you lack enthusiasm."

He actually wanted to say that he was not that happy, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mouth.

"...That's it."

Amemiya Ayana lowered her eyes, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes.

"But you don't have to worry too much. It's just because I know you better, so I am more sensitive to your feelings."

Watanabe Yuu explained.

He was afraid that the Saint Lady would think too much, so he began to think about the application of expression management and mask studies.

"In fact, if we hadn't lived under the same roof for this week, I might not have been so sensitive to your emotions."

He thought about it and added another sentence.

Compared to other girls of the same age, Amamiya Ayana has always been much more restrained and calm in managing her emotions. It is very difficult to find out the emotions she is hiding.

"I suddenly feel happy."

The Saint Lady stood up.

"how?"

“Isn’t it worth being happy that someone cares about your emotions and keeps an eye on your mood?”

Amemiya Ayana tilted her head and then extended her hand to Watanabe Yu.

"Let's go for a walk."

According to the schedule they had agreed upon, they would pick up Ryoko from get off work at nine o'clock and go home together.

"Ah."

Watanabe Youhui held the hand of the Saint Lady, stood up and took a step forward.

The two of them strolled in the park at a leisurely pace.

"My mother just told me that."

Amamiya Ayana spoke softly.

Subconsciously, that gentle voice echoed in her mind again.

"Well, being happy is always a good thing."

Watanabe Yu responded.

"..."

After the words were spoken, the two fell silent.

"...Actually, the reason I'm worried is that I've encountered something that's not easy to resolve."

After walking for a distance, it was Ayana Amamiya who took the initiative to start a conversation.

In fact, she was also very hesitant, but deep down, she hoped that there was someone who could listen to her complaints.

Before she met Mr. Troll, she could complain without any psychological burden, but now, as their relationship progressed, she became more and more shy.

But if you think about it carefully, such shyness seems unnecessary.

Just like he said, he wants to be his own roof.

When you encounter grievances, confusions and puzzles, you can talk to your backers, right?

"..."

Watanabe Yu did not rush to respond, but slowed down his pace and pretended to listen attentively.

He also wanted to know what kind of predicament the Saint Miss had encountered.

"A 'business partner' who had been cooperating with me before suddenly disappeared today. Although he explained verbally that he encountered some unexpected situations, it was confirmed by a third party that he met with my brother today and signed a cooperation contract."

Amamiya Ayana took a deep breath.

Obviously, she had prepared herself mentally countless times, but after she said it in person, her emotions still surged.

"But when I think about it, it seems normal. Maybe my brother offered a higher stake, so he was tempted and took action."

She chuckled at herself.

The fundamental reason for the other party's sudden change of mind, or re-selection of a "business partner", is that he feels his chances of winning are not high, nothing more.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things that make people feel depressed."

The Saint Lady loosened her grip on Watanabe Yu's hand, and there was a hint of apology in her voice.

"It's not that I can say it's heavy or not." Watanabe Yu paused, "But I feel a little emotional, it's true."

"Sentimental?"

She didn't quite get what he meant for a moment.

"Yes." Watanabe Yu gave an affirmative answer, "Facts have once again proved that not everyone has the vision to pick a good horse."

"Are you trying to comfort me?"

The Saint Lady turned her brows and looked at him.

"Yes, but no." Watanabe Yu shook his head and continued to speak slowly, "First of all, I have to confirm that the 'brother' you mentioned is the one with the same father and different mother, right?"

"Correct."

"Based on your experience with him, what do you think of him?"

Watanabe Yu asked this question.

To defeat your enemy, you must first understand him.

"Thanks to his mother, he is a very scheming person. He is good at hiding his intentions with his gentle side. He is good at buying people off and winning their hearts. Compared with his peers, he is very mature."

The Saint Lady gave her evaluation truthfully.

"How does that compare to you?"

"He's not as good as me." She answered without thinking, "But, because of his mother's existence, he still has the upper hand at the moment."

"I see. He is a very scheming, extremely hypocritical person who is good at using masks."

Watanabe Yu nodded in understanding.

"Yes."

"You said he is good at buying people off and winning them over?"

he continued to ask.

"Yes, he is better than me in this respect."

Ayana Amamiya is very objective, she doesn't exaggerate and just says what she thinks.

"From the perspective of traditional business cooperation models, the exchange of interests is always the first element. In layman's terms, the purpose of doing business is to make money. If you don't make money, why do you work so hard?"

Watanabe Yu analyzed it for her.

He could tell that the reason why Miss Saint was in a bad mood was, on the one hand, because her business partner was poached away, and on the other hand, she had not thought of a suitable breakthrough point.

As she herself said, she is now at a disadvantage.

"Then, we continue to expand based on profit-seeking." He considered his words and continued, "Looking at it rationally, 'the highest bidder wins' is the main theme of business cooperation most of the time.

"Please note that this 'highest bidder wins' includes not only the price given on the document, but also the personal connections and social resources behind it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Having said that, Watanabe Yu stopped talking and turned to look at Amamiya Ayana.

When the latter is in a stable mood, she will definitely be able to think of this level, but at the moment, her mood is a little low, and her thoughts may be stuck in a dead end, so he has to chew it up like this, which is necessary.

"clear."

The Saint Lady nodded slightly.

Before they knew it, they had already walked more than half of the park. "Well, after understanding this premise, many problems will become clear."

Yu Watanabe grabbed Ayana Amamiya's hand and stopped.

After letting a lady pushing a stroller go first, he let go of her hand and started walking.

"To put it bluntly, your brother's means of bribing your partners are probably far more than the benefits given on paper."

Watanabe Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the moon in the sky which was mostly covered by dark clouds.

"Of course, I don't know your partner's personality very well, but generally speaking, money is only the most superficial means of winning over people. There are many other means, such as leverage."

He shrugged.

"You mean he might have evidence of some of his dirty deeds?"

Amamiya Ayana frowned.

She hadn't thought of this possibility.

"It's just a way of thinking. Specific problems need to be analyzed specifically, and we can't use a formula to force things in a dogmatic way."

Watanabe Yu corrected the Saint Lady's statement.

"What if he encounters a special situation, such as a problem with the funding chain, which is a business issue? Or, for example, he wants his children to study in a certain country, but has no channels to go to that school, but your brother happens to be able to solve the problem? This situation is not impossible, right?"

"……Yes."

"So, again, this is just to help you broaden your thinking and analyze it."

He added another sentence.

“But I do feel very emotional.”

Watanabe Yu chuckled.

"What are you feeling?"

"Money and silk touch people's hearts."

"…I suddenly thought of a very stupid question."

Ayana Amamiya glanced at the flower bed beside the park path. She thought for a moment and stepped on it.

"Mr. Troll, can you give me a hand?"

She extended her hand to Yu Watanabe.

"Of course, there are still questions you want to ask. Just ask whatever you want."

Watanabe Yu nodded and held her little hand.

The two of them started walking.

"If, I mean if, would you betray some people for some benefits?"

Walking on the flower bed, Amamiya Ayana maintained her balance and asked this question in a natural tone.

She had originally meant to ask more bluntly.

——Will you betray me for the sake of profit?
But when the words came to her lips, she still couldn't say them.

She knew that her mood was not right at the moment. Normally, she would not have such emotions at all.

Subconsciously, she held his hand tighter.

The sound of cicadas became particularly clear at this moment.

[She finally asked this question out of anxiety]

[She is afraid that you will betray her. Even in her heart, she knows that the possibility is less than one percent.]

[But sometimes, when people are emotionally overwhelmed and their hearts are surging, they always need a little bit of verbal comfort]

[Love reminder has been activated]

[Love options to be updated, reminder, trigger conditions have not been met]

"My weaknesses are obvious." Watanabe Yu analyzed himself very frankly, "But what I'm looking for and what they can give me are probably not the same thing."

"So what are you looking for?"

"I want to go as far away as possible, to take care of the people I care about and who care about me, so that they won't be pushed into a corner by life and feel suffocated." Watanabe Yu paused, "To be honest, haven't we gone off topic a bit?"

There is a solution to the dilemma faced by Miss Saint.

He can help arrange for Ayana to meet and get to know Ichiro Hokushin, the president of Akiba Books.

With the former's connections, the issue of business partners is not a problem.

Of course, if Ayana doesn't want to, they can also directly focus on the main contradiction - since they are in a weak position at home, they can just start a new one based on this.

In terms of personal connections, he thought about it and felt that he himself was not bad.

"No, this is just small talk, isn't it?"

Amamiya Ayana used her free hand to tuck up the black hair behind her ears.

After hearing his answer, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Yes."

"...Yuu, can I trust you?"

Squatting down and lightly getting down from the flower bed, Amamiya Ayana tightened her hand with Watanabe Yu.

She still wanted to hear his answer more directly.

"When you ask a lot of questions, you already have the answer in your mind, right?"

Watanabe Yuu asked.

"……Yes."

Her mood inexplicably dropped.

She knew he wouldn't betray her, but she still felt a little lost.

Suddenly, the two came to the last flight of stairs leaving the park.

It’s different from when we came here side by side.

This time, he walked in front and she walked behind.

Their hands were still held together, but she felt as if their hands were separated.

His palms were still broad and warm.

But she just felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing.

Theoretically speaking, she shouldn't be so worried about gains and losses, but at this moment, her heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, so bitter that she couldn't speak.

"You can trust me."

After walking up the second to last step, Watanabe Yu stopped and said this.

"Or rather, you should trust me. After all, according to common probability, not every saint in trouble will encounter a frost troll. Trust your backer, okay?"

He turned around and looked at Amamiya Ayana very seriously.

"……it is good."

The Saint Lady lowered her brows and responded obediently.

Almost instantly, her mood changed from cloudy to sunny.

"Why do I suddenly feel like you are trying to PUA me? You whet my appetite first, and then tell me the answer when I can't bear it any longer."

She raised her eyes and glared at him coquettishly.

"You just found out?"

Watanabe Yu cooperated and said this.

In fact, during the silence just now, he was thinking about how to answer her question.

Frankly speaking, he was a little embarrassed for being so shameless just now. After all, saying in front of others that you want to be XX's backer and saying in front of the person concerned that you will be his backer are two completely different things.

"But this kind of PUA is not good enough."

Amemiya Ayana changed the subject and waved to Watanabe Yu, as if she was going to share a secret.

"Come here, I'll teach you a better way."

"any solution?"

Watanabe Yuu moved closer.

The distance between the two was very close at this moment.

He could even feel her breath.

“This method.”

Her voice was soft, but her movements were fast.

next second.

The slightly cold red lips pressed against his, and a floral scent that was not unfamiliar to him filled his nostrils.

They were obviously using the same shower gel and shampoo, but she smelled better.

The summer night breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and the night sky floats.

Time seemed to have pressed the freeze button at this moment.

"Okay."

About fifteen seconds later, the Saint Lady took a step back on her own initiative.

She was a little out of breath.

The small and cute ears were also covered with a layer of light pink.

"…This is just a demonstration, don't think too much about it."

There was a hint of charm in the Saint Lady's slightly cold voice.

"Besides, it's only once."

She looked away and made up for herself dryly.

However, her explanation didn't seem as powerful as she had imagined, and it wasn't even firm at all.

"Okay! It's getting late, time to pick up Ryoko."

As if she was afraid that Mr. Troll would say something, Miss Saint took his hand and quickly walked down the stairs, heading towards the convenience store.

As for this matter...

Let’s keep it a secret from Ryoko for now.

The Saint Lady made a decision in her heart.
