Chapter 401: Date with Her [2K2]

When the overly bright summer sun spreads all over the earth, time has come to the hottest afternoon of the day.

"In theory, the temperature in Kamakura should be lower than in Tokyo."

Looking at the faint flames rising from the ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Watanabe You took a sip of his glass of iced sparkling water and sighed softly.

Although people always say that you shouldn't wait until tomorrow to see someone you want to see, and don't wait until later to do something you want to do, but given the current practical situation, there are some things that you still have to think twice before doing.

"But the problem is that it's already 40.2 degrees Celsius in Tokyo."

Ryoko Hamabe, who was sitting opposite him, picked up the plastic fork and gently poked her piece of cake.

"Huh? 40.2 degrees Celsius?"

Watanabe Yu was stunned for a second, then looked at her in surprise.

"Here." Hamabe Ryoko put down her fork and handed over her phone. "Compared to Tokyo's 40.2℃, Kamakura's 39.5℃ is already very mild."

The lit phone screen displayed the temperatures of the two places.

[Tokyo, sunny, light wind, 40.2℃, high temperature warning. ]

[Kamakura, sunny, light wind, 39.5℃, high temperature warning. ]

"So that means we have to stay in this store until four o'clock?"

Yuu Watanabe pushed her phone back and asked.

"It doesn't matter. We brought umbrellas anyway."

Ryoko Hamabe put away her phone and then lazily lay down on the table.

For her, she hoped to prolong the afternoon time she spent alone with him outside, but she would not force him to do so.

"An umbrella can block the sun, but it can't block the heat coming from the ground. If you go out now, you'll get a heat stroke."

Watanabe Yu turned his head and continued to observe the unusually empty street, which was apparently bustling here around ten in the morning.

Sure enough, compared to those young people in Tokyo, the guys in Kamakura are not enthusiastic enough. The former can go shopping in the high temperature of 40℃ and even enjoy it!
But, this is just a joke, we are all human, and they are not that heat-resistant.
——This can be seen from the popularity of cold drink shops near the business district.

"Stay a while then?"

"Stay until half past four."

Watanabe Yu glanced at the time. It was just past 2:10, which was the time of the day when the temperature was the highest.

If he remembered correctly, those migrant workers in his hometown would rest from two to four in the afternoon, and then work from four in the afternoon to ten in the evening.

If there are special circumstances, such as if it is too hot that day, the start time will be postponed.

As for why he knew it so clearly, it was because he also went to a construction site to move bricks when he was in college.

Although I did move bricks, in reality I only did that for two days.

Don’t ask me why. The only reason I’m asking is that I offer three guarantees and I’m a brick-moving soul. Boss, I’m an educated man.

"So are we going home for dinner, or are we just going out?"

Hamabe Ryoko asked casually.

"Let's take care of it outside. I'll send a message to Ayana and the others later." Watanabe Yu paused, "But then again, is this enough?"

He turned his head and looked at the two souvenirs beside him.

Following Ryoko's recommendation, he bought his grandmother a pillow that would keep her cool when sleeping, and a set of thin quilts for summer.

He originally wanted to buy something else, such as tea or something like that, but she stopped him.

In her words, grandma would not collect so many things.

But he felt that whether his grandmother accepted it or not was one thing, and whether he, the younger generation, took it with him was another. The more gifts, the less blame there would be.

Besides, his grandmother really had nothing to say about him at the beginning.

"That's enough." Hamabe Ryoko looked at him with amusement and helplessness, "I've answered this question almost four times."

She was happy that You really cared about her grandmother, but she was helpless that the position he placed her in was a little too high.

"Who cares? I just want to bring her some more things." Watanabe Yu paused, "We can't visit her normally, she's alone in the countryside." "Although the neighbors are all good people and usually take care of her, people, especially the elderly, always want to have their loved ones around them."

Having said this, he suddenly paused and suddenly realized something else.

"We seem to have forgotten one thing!"

"What's the matter? Also, You just spoke like an old man, nagging."

Hamabe Ryoko raised her eyebrows, blinked mischievously, and teased someone.

However, she didn't hate his nagging.

"When it comes to nagging, Ryoko's mother is no less nagging."

Watanabe Yu accepted her complaints generously, laughed and teased her, and then did not give her a chance to fight back, and then got down to business, "I forgot to buy an extra copy."

"Don't call me that!" Hamabe Ryoko blushed and rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, "But why did you buy an extra copy?"

She is very disgusted with extravagance and waste.

Thanks to her aunt's coincidence with her on this point, this point naturally became the 'new rule' of the Watanabe family.

"No, you have to buy two." Watanabe Yu shrugged and explained, "One for grandma's neighbor, and the other for grandma to exchange."

This is the most basic social etiquette.

The neighbors are taking care of your grandma. Even if they don't want you to repay them, you still have to show your appreciation.

Things like this can last long only when there is give and take.

"Oh...that's right."

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko nodded in sudden realization.

She really didn't expect this.

"Then there's food. I think we can bring more. Grandma can't eat that much by herself, but she can share it with the neighbors. It's just a favor."

Watanabe Yu added another sentence.

This was also what one of his elders taught him before he traveled through time. If you wait until you encounter problems and then think about maintaining the relationships around you, it will be too late.

The vast majority of people have a clear bottom line when it comes to the word "friends".

Those who maintain relationships on a regular basis and interact with each other are called friends, while those who only come to you with gifts when something happens are called partners for interests.

“Where can I buy food?”

Hamabe Ryoko nodded and asked subconsciously.

"Buy some here in Kamakura, and buy some more when we get back to Tokyo." Watanabe Yu paused, "You don't need too much, I think two big pockets will be enough."

And this time when we go back, I have to let my mom drive a better car.

He added this sentence in his heart.

A person who is indifferent to fame and fortune may not care about how well he is doing, but the people around him may not think so.

Or to put it more down-to-earth, in the countryside, that's what we talk about.

"Listen to you."

Ryoko Hamabe thought about it and decided to clear her mind.

Since You is very reliable, she won't think about these things and will just listen to him in everything.

"Then..." Watanabe Yu paused and stretched out his tone, "It's time to think about what to eat tonight. By the way, do you want to go to a movie or something? I see that this is how other people go about dating."

And if you think about it, it's been a while since he and Ryoko went on a date.

"For dinner, I want Chinese food. As for movies, are there any romance movies?"

Her tone couldn't help but become a little higher.

Just the fact that he said that made her look forward to it.
