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

Chapter 363 Meeting [3K1]

The next day, at 11 o'clock in the morning, in a corner coffee shop not far from Watanabe Yu's house.

Jingle Bell.

As the crisp sound of wind chimes rang out at the door of the coffee shop, a female customer in a hurry pushed open the door and walked into the store.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The waitress sitting at the front desk put away her cell phone, stood up and smiled sweetly.

"..."

Naoko Hayakawa shook her head, adjusted her somewhat rapid breathing, raised her eyebrows and looked for the figure.

Soon, she saw the face that was conspicuous enough even in the crowd.

"An iced Americano and a Napoleon."

She withdrew her gaze, nodded to the waitress, then took a step forward and moved towards where Watanabe Yu was.

To be honest, the location he found was really secluded, being next to the window and in the corner.

"Sorry, I'm late." After sending an apologetic look to Watanabe Yu, Hayakawa Naoko sat on the sofa opposite him and began to explain, "The flower shop was too busy this morning, so I went to lend a hand."

The overwhelming demand in the store today almost made her think that time had gone back to Valentine's Day.

"It's okay." Watanabe Yu picked up the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste made him frown. "I only waited for half an hour."

Their agreed time was 10:40 in the morning, and it was now 11:05, and he arrived at 10:30, in other words, he had been waiting for 35 minutes.

But thanks to this half hour, his mentality has completely calmed down.

After all, he will have many opportunities to greet his mother-in-law in the future.

"I'm so sorry."

Naoko Hayakawa lowered her eyebrows and apologized again.

She knew that she was the elder, but when it came to matters like this, she was always clear about what was going on.

"Hey! No, Aunt Shangzi, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Watanabe Yu immediately waved his hands, feeling a little amused.

From this perspective, Aunt Naoko and Yuki are indeed mother and daughter, and they are both of the same bloodline.

Sometimes people take a joke seriously.

"is it?"

Hearing this, Naoko Hayakawa was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu uncertainly.

"Yes, but not entirely."

Watanabe Yu picked up the ordering tablet beside him and ordered himself a glass of lemon sparkling water. He was still not used to the bitter coffee.

"What do you mean?"

Hayakawa Naoko frowned.

She really couldn't keep up with Watanabe Yu's thinking.

"I hope that by telling you the specific waiting time, you will feel guilty. In this way, even if you are criticized later, your words will be lighter."

Yu Watanabe is quite frank.

Before leaving, his mother specifically talked to him about this matter and reminded him that some things can be said and there is no need to restrain oneself. Being too "stiff" will only increase the distance and make some words sound unpleasant.

Just like the old Chinese saying goes, only those with thick skin can eat meat.

“…I’m not here to teach you a lesson this time.”

Naoko Hayakawa was silent for a moment, then sighed.

It’s fine if Yuki thinks she’s here to cause trouble for You, but why does You also think so?
"Besides, with your personality, even if I say something, won't it go in one ear and out the other?"

Thanks to the nagging of a certain Yuki classmate who wishes to remain anonymous, she has a pretty deep understanding of Watanabe Yuu.

This child's strengths and weaknesses are quite obvious.

His strengths are that he is ambitious, tactful and steady in dealing with people, yet he still has the innocence of a young person. To be honest, he is still young and frivolous at times. His weaknesses are that he is sometimes selfish and criticism from his elders goes in one ear and out the other.

But it's normal. A person with mature values ​​and his own set of thinking logic is like this.

Including her.

"You're talking nonsense on this point." Watanabe Yu gave her a reproachful look. "No matter what, I won't just listen to it for thirty or forty minutes at least."

actually not.

He has always been receptive to reasonable criticism.

But since people have already said that, there is nothing he can say, so he might as well just shamelessly continue the conversation.

Anyway, what he actually is like is another matter.

"..." Naoko Hayakawa rolled her eyes. "I came here this time to find out how your life is going recently, whether you have encountered any difficulties in your studies, and whether you are adapting well to China Private Academy."

Actually, Watanabe Yu was not wrong. At the beginning, she did want to "torture" him, but this morning, after she had a phone call with Matsushima Riie, she gave up the idea.

The summary is just one sentence, why bother?

If you can chat happily, then chat happily.

Many things can be found out by asking questions indirectly or observing indirectly.

So why bother talking about serious, unhappy topics? Besides, Yuki would be unhappy.

"My life has been pretty ideal lately, not much different from before. I go to bed early and get up early, and I exercise regularly. My studies are still the same. Although I changed schools, I can still keep up with the pace."

As Watanabe Yuu spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked towards Hayakawa Naoko's side.

"Excuse me, this is your iced Americano and Napoleon, and this is your sparkling water." The waitress holding the tray placed the contents of the tray in front of the two people.

"Thank you."

Watanabe Yu thanked him politely.

"..."

The waitress didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then turned and left.

"That's great." Hearing what Watanabe Yu said, Hayakawa Naoko couldn't help but sigh, "Yuki's grades have declined a bit."

In fact, according to her original plan, it didn't matter whether Yuki's grades were good or bad. After all, she had connections and could get Yuki in.

But as Yuki's thoughts changed and her academic performance improved, her thoughts began to waver.

After all, if there is a choice, which parent doesn’t want their children to have good grades?
If nothing else, at least every New Year when friends and relatives come to visit, when others talk about their children's academic performance, they can speak out with their heads held high, instead of simply brushing it off with an "not very good".

"Maybe it's because the content in the second year of high school is more difficult." Watanabe Yu paused, "Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about mathematics, its difficulty can be said to be a level higher than that of the first year of high school.

“It’s like the standard version and the pro version of a mobile phone. Although they were manufactured at about the same time, their configurations are very different.

"I don't think there's any need to rush. Give Yuki some time, she'll slowly adapt and catch up.

"But cram schools and the like are unnecessary. Forcing people to study during their free time will only make them hate studying more and more."

At least that was the case when he was in school.

Having to make up classes on weekends is really inhumane.

Of course, he understood his parents' efforts. After all, his English was quite poor at that time.

"I have an idea about this."

Naoko Hayakawa coughed lightly, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him meaningfully.

"what idea?"

Watanabe Yuu stopped his nonstop speech.

"You can invite her to a study session, just like when you first met." Naoko Hayakawa paused, then continued, "As for the location, it can be at your place or at our house, but Yuki tends to sleep in on weekends, so..."

She hopes to hold the study session at her place.

This way, she had more opportunities to observe Watanabe up close.

"Then let's keep her at your place and let her sleep a little longer. However... we might have to bother her a bit by then."

How could Watanabe Yu not hear the hidden meaning in her words, so he just went with the flow and said this.

And just one second after he finished saying this, the cold mechanical voice that had been missing for a long time rang out again.

[Parents’ wishes are usually surprisingly consistent. When their children are young, they hope that they grow up healthily. When they are in school, they hope that their children get good grades and be healthy. After graduation, they hope that their children have a good job, a good future, and a good partner.]

[Compared to before, Hayakawa Naoko's attitude towards you has changed]

[She seems to no longer be so repulsive to you, a 'yellow-haired' man who has multiple relationships at the same time. This is good news. This is good news.]

[But having a good start does not mean you can land smoothly]

[Just like that beautiful meteor, who would have thought it was the wreckage of a starship]

So, please keep working hard.

[At least during the study session, let her see a real you that can make her feel at ease]

【Long-term mission objectives have been updated】

[Let Naoko Hayakawa accept your relationship with Yuki Hayakawa]

[Current progress: 35%]

[Rewards have been issued: Dynamic Vision (Elementary)]

"Don't say anything like "I'm bothering you or not!"

Naoko Hayakawa first glared at him in dissatisfaction, somewhat disgusted by his somewhat distant remarks.

"Also, remember to tell me in advance what fruit you want to eat! As for cherries, we always have them in stock."

Then she added this sentence.

She knew what Xiao Yuki had done before, but she just never exposed it.

People in love are all like this. Once they see their lover, the only thing left in their eyes is that person.

Besides, if you have to say it, any normal parent would not hesitate when it comes to comparing Cherry and their children's academic performance.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yu thought about it and decided not to be polite, so he nodded generously.

"That's right!"

Seeing his reaction, Naoko Hayakawa smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to chat with him about other things in life.

As for the questions she wanted to ask at the beginning.

She felt that when the study session started, she would be able to get more definite answers by witnessing with her own eyes.

Words can deceive, but subconscious actions and behaviors cannot.

This is even more true in the long run.

We will know whether he is a person who can shoulder the responsibility as Yuki said.

This can be considered as a test from her, the 'mother-in-law'.
