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

Chapter 325: Conditions of Non-Interference [4K6]

Citi Café, inside the booth.

"Sorry to call you out on Saturday."

Sitting on the fabric sofa, Naoko Hayakawa raised her eyebrows and looked at him slightly apologetically.

"That's nothing. Besides, I don't have any plans for today."

Watanabe Yu waved his hand, put the folded umbrella next to the table, and then sat on the fabric sofa.

"Order whatever you want, it's Auntie's treat today."

Naoko Hayakawa raised her chin and handed over the tablet for taking orders.

This cafe does not have waiters serving customers. All orders are placed on a fixed tablet on each table. Of course, when you need service from a waiter, click on the corresponding text on the tablet and the waiter at the front desk will come over quickly.

From a secular perspective, some people may not be satisfied with this kind of "service", but for some people who like quietness and are socially anxious, this kind of cafe is undoubtedly a paradise.

In fact, this cafe has indeed captured this part of anchor customers.

From what she observed, there were quite a lot of "little lonely people" drinking coffee and eating in this cafe.

Moreover, most of these "little lonely ones" are regular visitors here.

After all, it's impossible that she would run into those 'familiar faces' every time she comes, right?

Although there are coincidences in life, they are not so coincidental.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yu didn't hesitate. After flipping through the menu, he ordered a cup of black coffee and a crepe.

Black coffee is for boosting spirits, and crepes are for satisfying the appetite

——He hasn't had crepes for a long time.

"Well, let's get back to the point."

When Watanabe Yu put down the tablet, Hayakawa Naoko coughed lightly and got the conversation back on track.

In fact, before Watanabe Yu came, she was a little restless.

After all, today we are not going to chat about serious family matters, but rather talk about things related to Yuki.

She was worried that she would be too relaxed, but also worried that she would be too serious and scare Watanabe Yu. Of course, the possibility of the latter was not very high, but she inexplicably thought in this direction.

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became, and the more irritated she became, the more she would involuntarily fantasize. It was a vicious cycle.

Fortunately, her self-regulation ability is quite strong, and Watanabe Yu arrived just in time, so she was not consumed by her bad mood.

"How have you been recently? I mean, are you adapting to life at China Private Academy?"

Naoko Hayakawa lifted her chin with her left hand and started talking naturally.

She also thought about whether she should be straightforward and get straight to the point, but in the end she gave up the idea.

Starting off with heavy conversations can make things difficult.

Not to mention that she came here this time just to hear Watanabe Yu's true feelings.

Don't let her end up not hearing the truth but just hearing a bunch of polite words, as that would go against her original purpose.

"Overall, I've adapted well, but the courses here are a little too dense, which is a bit beyond my original expectations. I thought the course arrangement of China Private Academy was similar to that of Chengnan Private High School."

Watanabe Yu spread his hands and gave a very frank answer.

Yes, he knew that even the most wealthy families, or if we lower the standards a little, the more affluent families, attached great importance to the education of their children.

Unless you are the youngest child, who is not intended to inherit the family business from the beginning, your schedule will be very full.

Are there any rich second-generations like those in TV dramas and literary works who are arrogant and uneducated?
Yes, but only a very small fraction.

Not to mention anything else, after enjoying the protection of the family and knowing the family's wealth, even the most unambitious person will think about working harder so that he can get a bigger share when the family property is divided.

So, just as he said, he was mentally prepared at the beginning, and he roughly guessed that there would be a lot of courses in China Private College, but he really didn't expect that there would be so many.

You know, the sophomores at Chengnan Private High School only have seven classes a day.

I can only say that the contrast is indeed a bit too strong.

"It turned out to be so hard, didn't you think?"

Naoko Hayakawa picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip.

The bitter taste lifted her spirits.

"That's right and that's not right. I didn't expect it to be so hard, but I don't think it's hard at all."

Watanabe smiled and shook his head.

Where is this?

Any senior high school student from a key domestic high school will find the course arrangement of China Private Academy quite comfortable.

"Don't you feel tired?!"

Naoko Hayakawa looked at Yu Watanabe with some surprise.

Family members know their own business. When she was studying, she was just an average student. She felt exhausted and had a hard time with the sudden increase in courses in her second and third year of high school.

In addition, she had to complete music practice every day at that time. Over time, she selectively gave up some subjects and slept in related courses.

Fortunately, the foundation she had laid before was solid, and she was finally admitted to the school of her dreams.

But one thing is for sure, when she thinks back on her experiences during that period, she can't help but sigh that it was so hard.

"uh-huh."

Watanabe Yu nodded.

The windlass.

The sound of a cart being pushed was heard.

A waitress in brown work clothes pushed a food cart to their table.

then.

The waitress gave Watanabe Yu an inquiring look, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she nodded slightly and brought the coffee and crepe to him.

Then, after another slight bow, the waitress pushed the food cart away.

During the entire process, she didn't say a word or make any unnecessary movements.

"It's really good news for everyone."

Watanabe Yu muttered something under his breath, then picked up the coffee and took a sip.

The bitter taste of coffee spread on his tongue, and he felt its immediate refreshing effect.

"If, I mean if, Chengnan Private High School wanted you to continue studying here, would you still feel this way?"

Although she was somewhat curious about what the "i-person" in Watanabe Yuu's mouth meant, Hayakawa Naoko continued with the previous topic.

"meeting."

Watanabe Yu answered without hesitation.

"In the long run, isn't this a very despairing thing? Moreover, this is only the second year of high school. In the third year, there may be more courses." Hayakawa Naoko paused and looked straight at Watanabe Yu, "Of course, considering its unique admission rate, I think it is inevitable that there will be more courses.

"So, you really don't find it hard?"

After saying that, she sat up straight and looked as if she was listening attentively.

This question is a double entendre.

She was very pessimistic about his and Yuki's future.

In love, possessiveness is an instinct, and it is difficult for one party to accept the 'fact' that his or her lover will be shared.

Even if you achieve this in the short term, there will always be trouble in the long run.

Such scandals are common in wealthy families.

"In the long run, many things are not so absolute. I think it is better to be optimistic than to be pessimistic. After all, there is a saying that goes, a day is a day, whether you are happy or not, so why not be happier? Live in the present."

Watanabe pursed his lips and picked up a crepe.

The crepes here are more like cakes, and are much bigger than he imagined, but he doesn't know how they taste.

After looking at the crepe in his hand, he took a bite and closed his eyes to taste it carefully.

"It seems that you see this issue more clearly than most people." Hayakawa Naoko chuckled and shook her head, "But the problem is that some things cannot be solved just by seeing clearly.

"I mean most people can't be as carefree as you are." Including me.

This is also the fundamental reason why she doesn't think highly of You and Yuki.

Her failed relationship experience constantly reminds her that her daughter needs to be cautious in her relationships. Any impulsive decision may cause her daughter to repeat her mistakes.

"what do you mean?"

Watanabe Yu heard the hidden meaning behind Hayakawa Naoko's words.

But he needed to confirm it again.

"Let me be frank. I have thought about sending Yuki to study abroad before."

Naoko Hayakawa raised her hand and rubbed her swollen nose.

Honestly speaking, the current narrative style exceeded her initial expectations, but now that things had come to this point, she could only make the best of it. It might not be a bad thing to unfold the story in such a straightforward manner.

"I've even thought of a location, Vienna, the capital of music. Whether it's the cultural environment or the overall musical atmosphere, this city is more in line with Yuki's future needs. Plus, my good friend is also there, so..."

She didn't finish her words, but the implication was clear enough.

But, as she said herself, this idea was just a previous thought.

She said it now just to see Watanabe Yu's reaction.

"…If I put myself in their shoes, I would probably make the same choice."

Watanabe Yu was silent for a moment and gave his answer.

From Aunt Shangzi's point of view, her existence was like stopping the will-o'-the-wisp on the yellow-haired man downstairs, and her eyebrows twitched violently.

"Ah."

Naoko Hayakawa was stunned for a second, then shook her head and chuckled.

"I thought you were going to say that if you were in my shoes, you wouldn't make the same choice, but..."

She smiled and picked up the coffee cup.

"You are more honest than I thought."

After raising her cup toward Yu Watanabe as a sign of respect, she took another sip of coffee.

She was quite satisfied with Watanabe Yu's answer.

Because he did something that 99% of people couldn't do: honesty!

"I have always been candid on these issues."

Watanabe Yu met her gaze frankly.

"Hmm." Naoko Hayakawa nodded perfunctorily, then changed the subject and continued what she had not finished saying, "If I really do this, it will probably become a knot in Yuki's heart that she will never be able to untie for the rest of her life.

“It would also create a deep rift between her and me.

“There may even be some unexpected special circumstances.

“Physical distance will most likely cause a relationship to cool down, but there is also a small chance that it will make the relationship even more passionate.

"Yuki's personality is the same as mine. I know myself, and similarly, I know her.

"So I know very well that this approach is actually a very bad strategy. It should only be used as a last resort. There will definitely be endless consequences if it is used."

On this point, she saw it very clearly and was quite sober.

"So, you changed your mind?"

Watanabe Yuu tilted his head.

"Don't use honorifics. We are not that unfamiliar with each other." Hayakawa Naoko frowned and corrected his address. "The reason why I changed my mind was not entirely because of the consequences of doing so, but because of Yuki's performance.

"As a mother, I actually forced my daughter to be on guard against herself. This is undoubtedly a failure."

When she said this, her eyes were full of self-mockery.

From the moment Yuki gave her that wary look, she completely understood her mother's feelings back then.

I feel so disappointed in myself and so much remorse.

"..."

Watanabe Yu did not rush to speak, but waited silently for Hayakawa Naoko to continue.

He knew she hadn't finished speaking.

"Before, I always thought your family was very ordinary, or even difficult, because Yuki told me so. But after meeting your mother, this idea was shattered. How could an ordinary family have a woman with such temperament?"

But somewhat to his surprise, Hayakawa Naoko suddenly started talking about something else.

"And then, you talked to her?"

Although he was not quite sure why the other party brought up this, Watanabe Yu still tried his best to continue the conversation.

"Yes, in the process of talking with her, some of my ideas have changed." Hayakawa Naoko sighed, "If you can give Yuki enough material conditions and social status, and really like her and treat her well, then if you think about it carefully, I don't have such a big objection."

After all, what could she do?

She couldn't bear to send Yuki abroad, nor could she force Watanabe Yu to disappear from her daughter's life.

"Of course, if you weren't involved with so many girls, regardless of your family conditions, based on the impression you gave me, I would fully support your relationship with Yuki, but..."

As a mother, she has to plan for her daughter's future.

Maybe Yuki herself doesn't need You to provide these to her, but she is very clear that people's words are scary. If Yuki really makes such a choice, how much rumors will it bring.

This kind of rumors cannot be ignored.

Humans are social animals.

and so.

In order to counter these rumors, sufficient material foundation is necessary.

This is why she spoke so realistically.

She needed to make Watanabe Yu understand that if he wanted her not to oppose them, he would have to show his strength to shut up most people.

"I understand." Watanabe Yu answered very seriously, "I am also working towards this."

Even if Hayakawa Naoko didn't mention it, he had already thought so.

If you want to be a pure love god of war, you must pay a lot.

"Hey, I didn't want to be so blunt this time, but as we were chatting, I changed my mind and thought we should talk about it openly and get some things out to the bottom."

Hearing this, Naoko Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief and her expression relaxed.

To be honest, this smooth result was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Yes, it's better to talk openly than to guess at each other."

Watanabe Yu nodded slightly.

Similarly, this result was a bit beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that he would have to go through a nerve-wracking verbal battle.

result……

It went so smoothly that he even felt as if he was dreaming.

"Anyway, I won't interfere with your relationship with Yuki anymore, but at the same time, you also need to show enough drive, such as maintaining the current momentum and developing your career steadily and positively, so that I can be sure that the silly girl made the right choice."

Naoko Hayakawa looked into Watanabe Yu's eyes and emphasized it again.

"Definitely."

Watanabe Yu met her gaze without flinching and gave another firm answer.

"That's good." Naoko Hayakawa nodded, and then changed the subject, "Okay, we have reached a consensus on the most difficult thing right now. Let's talk about something else in the remaining time."

To quote Yuki, now that we have finished talking about serious things, we need to talk about something relaxing.

"for example?"

Yu Watanabe couldn't quite keep up with Naoko Hayakawa's jumping thoughts.

"Your new song."

She blinked and looked quite interested.
