Chapter 358 Night Talk [4K1]

That night, a cold rain fell in Tokyo.

Amid the sound of falling rain, the night taxis on the road slowed down, and the wipers that had been stopped started working again, with a gurgling sound echoing inside the car.

On the sidewalk, a white-collar worker who had just finished working overtime raised his head, held his briefcase on his head with a depressed look, and quickened his pace to go home.

Under the warm light of the street lamp not far away, the dense cold rain fell like heavy snow. The shallow rain curtain blurred the distance between blocks and also widened the distance between people.

Taking her eyes away from the floor-to-ceiling window, Amamiya Ayana crawled into Hamabe Ryoko's bed and maliciously gave the latter the coldest of hands a few times.

"Don't make trouble!"

Ryoko Hamabe slapped the man's naughty hand away and rolled her eyes helplessly.

Obviously, she is the one whose name contains the word "cold", but no matter whether it is winter or drizzling weather like now, the temperature of Ayana's hands is lower than hers.

"hai~"

Hearing this, the Saint Miss obediently withdrew her hand and lay down on the bed.

Logically speaking, she should have sneaked into You's room to sleep today, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Firstly, she hadn't slept with Ryoko for a while, so they could be said to be keeping in touch like best friends.

Secondly, she owed the other person a favor during the school trip and should do something to repay him.

So, she picked up her pillow and brought this up at the end of dinner.

"So what happened to make you so excited?"

Seeing that the Saint Lady had calmed down, Hamabe Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief and asked this question.

Logically speaking, Ayana's personality is not so erratic. The mischievous behavior just now was more like "Yuki" than "Ayana".

——If you just judge by first impression.

After a year of contact, she had long been de-fascinated by the stereotype of the 'saint lady'.

To be honest, Ayana, who seems to keep a distance from everyone, is much more lively in private, while Yuki, who looks more youthful, is much quieter in private.

Of course, the former is thanks to You's efforts.

It is really not easy to pry open Ayana's heart and make her willing to trust everyone.

As for the latter, she personally thinks that maybe all people who play music are like this, or people with artistic cells are like this. They are lively and cheerful to the outside, but that is just outward appearance. Internally, they need more quiet time to replenish their energy.

"Because I saw you. There's a saying that goes, 'One day without seeing you feels like three years' (Chinese)."

The Saint Lady blinked and a flattering smile appeared on her face.

"Come on." Seeing her like this, Hamabe Ryoko rolled her eyes as if she was used to it. "Does this mean that this trip to Kamakura will fulfill your wish?"

This was the most plausible possibility she could think of.

After all, if it were any other reason, Ayana wouldn't be so excited, and her face would look like she wanted to share her joy and happiness immediately.

"You say that as if I'm about to leave."

Amamiya Ayana glared at the man unhappily.

She also discovered that Ryoko only looked pure, but actually had a rather evil side.

"I don't mean that." Hamabe Ryoko looked away innocently, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "But if you are willing to give Yu to me, that's not impossible."

It’s better to ask for it.

But, this is just a joke.

If Ayana really wants to leave, she will be the first person to persuade and hold her back.

"What about Yuki-chan?"

Amemiya Ayana turned sideways, lifted up her face with her right hand, and pretended to be interested.

After being together for so long, she knew exactly when Ryoko was joking and when she was serious.

"Humph!"

Ryoko Hamabe gave a wicked smile, then slightly adjusted her sleeping position and moved her neck towards the pillow, which was a must-do for her every night before going to sleep.

"Do you think she can be my opponent?"

Although it started as a joke, she was indeed quite confident on this point.

If Ayana had not participated in this fight, she would have won in the end.

Yes, she did not deny that there would definitely be twists and turns along the way, but as long as the result was good, that was enough.

Even with this experience, she will have something to talk about with her children in the future.

"Strictly speaking, it would be difficult for Yuki-chan not to transform."

There was a hint of thought on Amamiya Ayana's face.

She really couldn't see the possibility that Yuki could win in this 'duel'.

Because relatively speaking, Ryoko's approach is more adult.

Or……

"You are so despicable now!"

She raised her hand and gently poked Hamabe Ryoko's cheek.

"Right, I have been planning this for a long time, so please don't give me any chance to take advantage of it."

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head confidently and looked into Amamiya Ayana's eyes.

The two people's eyes met in the air.

After staring at each other for six seconds, Hamabe Ryoko finally couldn't hold back her expression and looked away with a smile.

"I don't want my future son or daughter to be without a 'mother'."

She turned her head, looked to the other side, and whispered this sentence.

Just as Ayana believed in her, she also believed in Ayana.

If, she meant if, if something unexpected happened to her in the future, she believed that Ayana would definitely take care of her child as if he were her own.

She will do the same.

But if you think about it carefully, the probability of this possibility is almost zero. The reason why she has such an idea, after all, is just because her current life is too happy, so that she feels a little panic from time to time.

"Don't worry, I won't leave... this home."

The Saint Miss lay down again, her beautiful eyes reflecting the white ceiling that she was so familiar with.

"That would be a shame."

Hamabe Ryoko was yelling, but her face was full of relief.

She was really worried about this extremely unlikely event happening.

After all, in film and television works, there are many cases like this where the protagonists suddenly have a brainwave and end up going their separate ways.

"Are you really not afraid of making me angry?"

Hearing this, Amamiya Ayana rolled her eyes coquettishly.

In other words, she knew that this was a joke. If Ryoko had said this when they had just met, she would undoubtedly have kept her distance from this person.

But then again.

When they first met, it would have been impossible for them to have such a close chat as they are now.

"It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that I can only say those words in this way, even though I know that it is ultimately an extremely low probability event among low probability events."

Hamabe Ryoko closed her eyes and said this softly.

"The possibility you mentioned will only happen if the Amamiya family continues to put pressure on us and we are unable to counter it. Even if that happens, it is an extremely low probability event." Amamiya Ayana paused, "I have already identified him."

This is what she means.

When she heard him say that he would be her support and her rock, he was her only choice. "...I'm sorry."

Hamabe Ryoko apologized quietly.

"Why should I apologize? I've had random thoughts like this before, but they're just random thoughts, aren't they?" Amamiya Ayana paused, "Back to the topic, I'm really happy with this trip to Kamakura.

"At this time last year, I could only feel and understand his study trip through his stories. Although I finally knew what he had been through, I still felt a little lost."

Because no matter how vivid the language was, no matter how real the photos he took were, she was not with him after all.

But now, everything is different.

Just like Ryoko said, yes, she really got what she wanted this time.

"I can understand."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded slightly.

She had felt the same way.

"We went to eat delicious soufflé, which is the cake I brought back for you. Although it will taste worse after being cooled and then heated up, it still gives us a reference. When it is fresh out of the oven, it will taste 30% better than when it is heated up."

Amemiya Ayana smiled and started sharing her happy news.

It's okay to feel sad when things are happening, and it's okay to feel anxious because of excessive happiness, but if these things prevent you from being happy when you should be happy, then you're putting the cart before the horse.

In simple terms, there should be a limit to worrying about gains and losses.

"So, doesn't that mean it tastes the same as the crepes sold in that shop?"

Hamabe Ryoko reacted immediately.

During the school trip last year, neither she, Koyuki, nor Yuu were able to buy the soufflé from the famous dessert shop in Kamakura due to the travel time and insufficient initial preparation.

There is no way to give a specific evaluation of its taste.

But now that we have a reference, it’s completely different.

"Not exactly. You think the crepes are better, and so am I. However, considering the course of this school trip, the soufflé there can still get a lot of points. It's on the same level as the crepes in that store."

The Saint Lady gave her own evaluation.

"Well...if we have a chance in the future, shall we go to Kamakura again?"

Hamabe Ryoko thought about it and finally said this.

She was a little moved by what Ayana said.

"Revisiting the old place?"

"Yes."

"Sure, let's do it during the summer vacation. Let's talk to You and if possible, we can also bring Yuki along."

Amamiya Ayana thought about that scene, and her mood suddenly improved a little.

There is a way to spend time together as a couple, and there is also joy in going together as a group.

"Hmm, what happened next? I mean, after eating the soufflé."

Ryoko Hamabe turned around and, imitating what she had just done, lifted up her face with her right hand and looked at her curiously.

"He and I walked around the streets of Kamakura and took the Enoden electric railway train to go wherever we wanted."

As she spoke, Amamiya Ayana couldn't help but smile.

"I feel good over there. Well, let me put it this way. I feel like I want to settle down there."

She raised her eyebrows, and there was a little more longing in her eyes.

"My dear lady, although I really don't want to mention this, I still have to say that you have already changed three places you want to settle down, from my hometown, to You's hometown, and then to Kamakura...why don't you confirm one quickly?"

Hamabe Ryoko coughed lightly and looked at her helplessly.

If possible, she doesn't want to move around.

Moving is really a tiring task, especially when you have a lot of luggage.

"Well, then let's choose Yuu's hometown, Okinawa. After all, you can see your uncle and aunt often. And, with Yuu's personality, he will definitely be happier to stay there."

Amemiya Ayana made the decision without much thought.

In fact, for her, many multiple-choice questions involving someone are not multiple-choice questions at all, but fill-in-the-blank questions with one and only one correct answer.

"You have really changed."

Hamabe Ryoko looked at her, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Amemiya Ayana didn't quite get what she meant.

"Even if you thought this in your heart before, you wouldn't say it so openly. You would only selectively say part of it. I mean, in front of us, now you can say it so frankly, it's really different."

Hamabe Ryoko shook her head.

Strictly speaking, if they were still "rivals in love" right now, then Ayana's "evolution" would make her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

"Maybe it's because I gave myself completely to him."

Speaking of this, Amamiya Ayana couldn't help but blush.

Even though she had already told Ryoko, saying it on the phone was different from saying it in person.

"So this is a normal reaction from Mrs. Watanabe?"

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko blinked.

"Yes."

The Saint Miss nodded very frankly.

"It's just..." She stretched out her tone, changed the subject, and deliberately made a little joke, "If I am Mrs. Watanabe, who are you?"

"Me too. Didn't you say before that there is a way to solve this problem? We just need to find a bug."

Ryoko Hamabe remembers this incident very clearly.

"Yes."

Amemiya Ayana gave an affirmative answer and pulled the quilt up a little.

"Also, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Looking at the ceiling above her head, she murmured these words.

"what's up?"

"The semester is almost over."

"Ah."

"Next semester, I will come to Chengnan Private High School as an exchange student from China Private Academy. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be in the same class as You."

She has already thought about it.

I will go to the principal and talk about this next Monday.

"Uh, huh?"

This time, it was Hamabe Ryoko's turn to be stunned.

She thought Ayana was going to say something sentimental, but it turned out that she was deceiving her feelings.

The most important thing is! She has never had the privilege of sitting in the same classroom and taking classes with You!

"Sleep!"

Pulling the quilt up to cover her face, Hamabe Ryoko closed her eyes angrily.

She didn't even want to say good night.
