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

Chapter 387 How does it compare to home?

"We will spend the next half month here."

After coming down from upstairs and putting away her luggage, Hamabe Ryoko raised her eyebrows and looked around curiously at this house that seemed a little unfamiliar to her.

"Hmm, what do you think? I mean the decoration style here."

Sitting on the sofa, Watanabe Yu, who was not in a hurry to go upstairs to put his luggage, took the initiative to join the conversation.

Personally, he prefers the decoration style of the house he bought.

"pretty good."

After taking a final look at the ceiling in the living room, Hamabe Ryoko gave her own evaluation.

Judging from the family's eating habits, this decoration style is somewhat flashy.

Especially the kitchen that I just glanced at.

The traditional Japanese kitchen is really not suitable for Chinese cuisine.

"Compared to home?"

Watanabe Yu took out the remote control from the coffee table cabinet with ease, and then turned on the TV.

"Don't ask questions you obviously know the answer to."

Hamabe Ryoko looked at him helplessly, then sat down next to him.

“Private Marseille~”

Watanabe Yu apologized without hesitation.

"In the third semester of my second year of high school, my Chinese teacher taught us a Chinese proverb: A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse." Hamabe Ryoko paused, "Although I don't really like the doghouse analogy, it's fine as long as the meaning is conveyed."

Besides, I have already gotten used to using the kitchen utensils at home, and the bottles and jars of seasonings are all placed in convenient locations, and the small items that are stored are placed where I can find them.

Which is higher or lower, and which is more important, can we not make it clear at a glance?
From the beginning, this was not a multiple-choice question, but a fill-in-the-blank question with only one correct option.

She shook her head, looked away, and her eyes fell on the TV.

If they were alone, she would probably say these words out of shyness.

But unfortunately, this time they didn't go out as a couple, but everyone came together.

"I know."

Watanabe Yu nodded in understanding.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic, because compared to this, I personally think you should pay more attention to something else." Hamabe Ryoko coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Have you learned any details about the bar you are going to work at?"

"To be honest, no."

Watanabe Yu gave a very frank answer.

Ever since he learned that the owner of Enoden Session was an old acquaintance of Aunt Naoko, he hadn't paid much attention to this bar.

Life is not a novel; there aren’t so many Infernal Affairs plots.

What's more, there is no direct interaction of interests between the two parties.

Uh, no, if you really want to say it, there is a reason. They will be the new resident singers in the next half month. If they do well, the bar's business should be able to reach a higher level.

If they do a bad job... they probably won't be able to last more than half a month.

“In fact, we should pay more attention to it.”

Hamabe Ryoko considered her words, and a hint of helplessness appeared between her brows.

At this moment, she felt a little bit of empathy for her mother's nagging at her in the past.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yu did not try to be stubborn but nodded obediently.

He could see that Ryoko must have made the relevant preparations she mentioned.

“Enoden Session’s business hours are very fixed. It opens at 6:30 p.m. every night, starts business at 7:00 p.m., and closes at 2:00 a.m.

"This bar is very well-known in Kamakura and has even been on two TV shows." Ryoko Hamabe talked about the information she had collected.

“By the way, those two times were because of Aunt Shangzi. When Aunt Shangzi’s career was booming, a paparazzi exposed that she had worked in this bar. He seemed to want to make things difficult for her.

“But it didn’t turn out the way he wanted.

"When faced with the reporter's questions, Aunt Shangzi did not shy away from answering them. She gave a positive answer and described the cause and effect in detail.

“In the context of that era, Aunt Shangzi’s handling of the situation was beyond many people’s expectations.

"After all, at that time, most singers were packaging themselves up. Claiming to be from a musical family, a literary family, or the daughter of a certain landlord were all common settings. The main point was to separate themselves from the ordinary, from the 'life of ordinary people.'

“Thus, under such a sharp contrast, the storm that had not yet formed suddenly became positive news.

"Not only did Aunt Shangzi's career become more prosperous, but the bar also experienced a peak in business. At that time, many fledgling musicians regarded this place as a holy place, and it was common for them to come from far away to check in.

“It was also from that time that the level of the resident singers in this bar became higher and higher.

“Today, if you want to sing in this bar, especially during prime time, you have to be at least a semi-professional singer.

"The singer who sang at 8-9 before was called Kurosaki Nao. She graduated from a professional music school and also participated in a music talent show organized by Tokyo TV, but she didn't make it to the end and was eliminated in the top 16.

“You can still find videos of her matches online, as well as live videos uploaded from time to time by the Enoden Session official account.”

Having said that, Hamabe Ryoko picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

When she was looking for relevant information, she was surprised to find that this bar actually had its own official account on the social networking site, and there were quite a few people following it, nearly 30,000.

Although it is not as good as those famous bloggers who have hundreds of thousands of followers, it is already impressive to have so many fans without deliberate management.

The proportion of active fans is relatively not that high.

But it’s normal. After all, who would have nothing better to do than to send a message of encouragement to a bar’s official account every day?

"Does the bar record videos?"

Watanabe Yu lowered his eyebrows and began to think.

"Yes, but they also said that they uploaded it only after obtaining the consent of the person involved." Hamabe Ryoko paused, "They specifically noted this in the video description."

At this point, no one should want to fish in troubled waters. After all, issues concerning portrait rights have always been strictly investigated.

"Ah."

Watanabe You nodded thoughtfully.

"Next, you should think about the song you are going to perform tonight." Hamabe Ryoko leaned forward slightly, raised her hand and took the remote control from him lightly, "By the way, remember to discuss it with Yuki."

"..."

Watanabe Yu did not say anything, but lowered his head again and began to think.

In an hour, you have to sing at least four or five songs.

Of course, you can also discuss with the store manager at that time to see if the price can be reduced.

But he estimated that no matter how few songs there were, it would not be less than four.

This is still a troublesome matter.

——He won’t sing songs by other singers of this era.

"Then..."

Ryoko Hamabe turned her head, her eyes passing over his profile and falling on the floor-to-ceiling window that was wet with raindrops.

The fine raindrops have now covered the outer edge of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Under the combined effects of gravity and cold wind, these raindrops keep sliding down and appearing again.

There were dense water marks on the glass.

The dialogue between the male and female protagonists in the urban drama came from the TV.

She thought about it and added another sentence.

"Remember to bring an umbrella. This rain won't stop today."
