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

Chapter 421 Their Gifts [4K]

It started to drizzle in Tokyo in the evening.

Amid the drizzle, the slightly cold rain soaked the dry ground. Amid the sound of dripping rain, the setting sun in the sky finally sank completely, and the street lights on the sidewalk lit up.

The warm light printed out slightly hazy raindrops, but it failed to drive away the dim skylight that was gathering.

"So how did you do it?"

Sitting on the bay window in the bedroom, Watanabe Yu leaned against the wall, feeling the slightly cool touch on his back, and started chatting with his father on the other end of the phone.

"Just use the normal way of persuading them with emotion and reason."

Watanabe Genichirō's answer came quickly, and his voice was the same as usual, passionate but with a hint of fatigue unique to middle-aged men.

"Really?"

Watanabe You pursed his lips. He didn't believe this at all.

"real!"

Watanabe Genichirō's voice became more resolute.

"Dad, you're not good at lying."

Watanabe Yu turned his head and looked at the world outside the window casually.

The flying raindrops can be clearly seen under the lights of the residential area. Such density will not cause people to suffer from claustrophobia, but will make people start to feel sleepy.

I have to say that drizzling weather is indeed suitable for sleeping.

If nothing unexpected happens, the temperature outside will drop a little in a while. However, it is probably impossible for this light rain, which Ryoko expects, to completely extinguish the remaining heat from the daytime.

As of now, the rain is not heavy enough.

"There's nothing we can do about this. Maybe it will get better in the future?"

Hearing this, there was a hint of amusement in Watanabe Genichirō's voice.

To make the scum leave willingly, it is useless to have a eloquent tongue, but also to have strong enough measures.

Only by using both soft and hard methods can the problem be solved completely.

He believed that the brat was aware of this, but it was better not to explain the process in detail, as there was no need for that.

"uh-huh."

Watanabe Yu responded casually.

"In short, there is no manipulation of the TV series, and all negotiations are within the scope permitted by law."

Watanabe Genichirō added another explanation.

The main reason was that he was afraid that his son would have wild thoughts.

What era is this? The old way of using force and threats is outdated. Wouldn't it be better to keep evidence and sign a contract? It also has legal effect.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yuu never doubted this.

If his father still used the old-fashioned tricks, he would start to doubt how his father got started.

However, "within the scope permitted by law" is indeed quite ambiguous, and since Lao Deng was unwilling to elaborate, he did not intend to delve into it.

After all, there is no point in digging deeper, Lao Deng won't tell you.

This person is like this. He will say whatever he wants to say, and it is useless to ask about what he doesn't want to say.

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about the future of you, Ayana, Ryoko, and Yuki." Watanabe Genichirō paused, "They are all very good and have made great sacrifices. Some problems are not a problem for us and we can help you solve them.

"In a secular sense, most people can accept it, but they still feel a little uncomfortable deep down.

"You should pay special attention to this and learn to be considerate of them. Sometimes it's normal for a man to be a coward in front of his woman and suffer a little. Look at your father, am I not flexible?"

If possible, he actually didn't want to say so much to his son in a serious manner, but the problem was right in front of him and needed to be solved urgently. If he didn't say it now, when would he say it?
Furthermore, and most importantly, only when their relationship is stable can he become a grandfather faster.

When it came to getting married, he was the first among his circle of friends, and now he also wanted to be the first to become a grandfather.

"I know."

Watanabe Yu said this, but he was actually feeling resentful in his heart. He might not know about others, but didn't he know about his own father? He was just a henpecked man.

However, every family has its own way of getting along with others. Although my mother looks strong, she really cares about my father and is unambiguous when it comes to giving him face. The same goes for my father.

At least after looking around, there are really few men who would deliberately hide their success from their children, and even insist on cooking and helping with housework every day.

Although Lao Deng would complain as well.

"Then, if, I mean if, you accidentally have a child after college, you can consider giving birth first. Your mother and I are fine, and our careers are stable now, so we can help take care of the child."

"...?"

When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that you have a problem.

So the real intention has been exposed, right?

Byd was urged to get married before he traveled through time, and was urged to have children after he traveled through time. Why does it feel like there is a sense of fate and reincarnation?

"Don't make that expression."

As if he had the ability to read minds, Lao Deng's slightly dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Men's physical function is strongest before the age of 25. After 25, their physical function will gradually decline, and the same is true for girls.

"Especially after the age of 30, the risk of childbirth increases with each passing year.

"So don't blame me for being long-winded."

At least from what he had seen and heard, it was really dangerous for older women to give birth, and they also recovered more slowly afterwards.

"hai~"

Watanabe Yu responded honestly.

What could he say? He could only listen. If he kept on complaining, he was afraid that Lao Deng would come and kill him, so he would make him stand outside the door and reflect on himself.

"Well, forget it. This is your business as young people. You can decide how to do it yourself." Watanabe Genichirō sighed, "Anyway, if you have plans in that regard, you can put it on the agenda after entering university.

"You don't need to worry about what happens next. Just leave everything to me and your mother."

If possible, he didn't want to dwell on this issue for so long, but unfortunately, just as he was destined to be unable to deal with his wife, he was also beginning to be unable to deal with his increasingly mature son.

The reason is simple. The brat is now financially independent and mature enough in dealing with people. This is the only time that his father has a slight sense of presence.

"Let's talk about it after college." Watanabe Yu hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his true thoughts, "No matter how anxious you are, you don't have to rush in these few years, right? You'll only be in your early twenties after graduating from college."

"...Yes, so I said, it's up to you to decide for yourself."

"Well, I'll hang up then?"

"Remember to rest and don't push yourself too hard."

"it is good."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Watanabe Yu shook his head, feeling somewhat amused.

The good news is that the problem was solved in a relatively safe way. The bad news is that I was urged to get married, and even to take further steps.

"So, does this count as the pity for the parents in the world?"

He whispered to himself.

It seems that all parents in the Confucian cultural circle are like this.

They all firmly believe that marriage is the real beginning of life, just like a main task. You have to complete it first, then you can have an "identity" in this society and have a stepping stone to enter the next stage of life. "What's wrong?"

A cold female voice sounded.

"Nothing, my dad just urged me to get married." Watanabe Yu raised his head and looked at Hamabe Ryoko at the bedroom door and Amamiya Ayana beside her without any surprise, "Obviously, it's too early for this to happen."

"Who knows."

The Saint Lady shrugged, walked into the room, put the fruit plate on the table, then opened the door of the closet and pulled out a guitar as if by magic.

"Clang clang~how is it?"

She handed him the guitar as if offering him a treasure.

This was a gift that she and Ryoko had spent a long time choosing together.

"I love so much."

Watanabe Yu gave the answer without thinking.

"Tsk, you're just being perfunctory. You didn't even try."

The Saint Lady rolled her eyes coquettishly, but a smile appeared between her brows.

"No need to try, I know it." Watanabe Yu stroked the guitar in his hand, "Aunt Shangzi uses this guitar."

And I am very careful when using it and take good care of it.

To be honest, that was the first time he saw her being so... uh, cherishing a guitar?
Later he asked Yuki, and Yuki's answer was that first, the guitar was very expensive, and second, the guitar had a special meaning.

——That was the guitar that my mother bought me after she earned money.

"Then it seems that this money was not spent in vain."

Hearing this, Amemiya Ayana turned her head and looked at Hamabe Ryoko with a smile.

"Ah."

Hamabe Ryoko hummed softly and nodded.

When choosing, she was the one who made the final decision to buy.

Now it seems that her intuition was correct.

"According to the procedure, should I say thank you now and give each of you a hug?"

Watanabe You tilted his head and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Rejection is too old-fashioned." The Saint Lady took a step back without thinking, then naturally took Ryoko's hand and pulled her to sit on the bed. "What you should do now is to sing an impromptu song."

It must be said that she really likes his live performances.

Ever since he sang the song "Jealous" in front of her for the first time, she fell in love with the way he sang, especially when he held the guitar and hummed softly.

She will inevitably develop a sense of longing.

Just like then, he was holding a guitar and humming on the stage, the starry sky was like a stage, and the salty sea breeze and the audience's eyes fell on him.

That would make her feel as if she had inadvertently owned the whole world.

"Um...what do you want to hear?"

To be honest, after getting the Music Comprehensive (Advanced) degree, he did want to sing for his own entertainment, but unfortunately he didn't have time to go to the bathroom today and couldn't find a suitable place.

But it is quite appropriate for them to mention it now.

"I don't care."

Hamabe Ryoko gave the answer.

She didn't care because every song You sang was very nice.

“As for me, I don’t think there’s any song I really want to listen to.”

Amemiya Ayana thought about it, but couldn't come up with any ideas for a moment.

She just wanted to hear him sing, she didn't care what song it was.

Because no matter what song he sings, it sounds good.

"Then I'll just sing a little? A medley?"

Watanabe Yu plucked the strings and tested the sound.

really.

The feedback from the strings made him smile knowingly.

Most of the time, the biggest problem with expensive things is that they are expensive; the quality must be fine.

"It will be all right."

Hamabe Ryoko is the same as before.

"How about... sing 'Jealous' again? Or 'The Wind Rises', or, just like you sang that time."

Amemiya Ayana blinked, and at that moment, she suddenly wanted to listen to that version of "Jealous" again.

"can."

Watanabe Yu didn't waste any words, lowered his eyebrows and gently stroked the guitar.

The prelude to "Jealous" sounded.

Compared to when he took Music Comprehensive (Intermediate), his understanding of music has now reached a higher level. In a sense, his level of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water has reached a higher level.

And compared to the vague feeling of understanding before, this time he could clearly feel that the things he didn't understand before, he now understood, and the things he was not clear about before, he now understood.

But at the same time, more questions or uncertainties also emerged.

It's just like playing an MMORPG. As your level goes up, you can learn more skills and do more tasks. But at the same time, the enemies and monsters you face also become stronger, and you can no longer be so reckless when going into dungeons. You have to learn to be cautious.

But he also had a hunch.

If Brother Tongzi gave him a higher level of musical skills, or if he thought about it more, the extra doubts he had now might disappear.

Just like the saying goes, singing is just singing. Singing well, singing casually, singing seriously, singing with dedication, or singing carelessly are just different ways of expression. The core still lies in the understanding of the song and one's own hard skills.

Just like now, when he sings this special version of "The Wind Rises" again, his understanding of the whole song is different.

He knows when to "put in effort", when to "relax", and when to show off a little bit of his skills.

The most important thing is that he knows, but he doesn't need to do it deliberately, because his body has already done it instinctively.

Just like it happened naturally.

Or to put it more simply, it's like picking up food while eating without having to think about how to hold the chopsticks.

Everything has become a conditioned reflex ingrained in our bones.

and so……

"I was once unable to pull myself out of the world
"Also indulged in the dream talk

"Don't be true or false, don't struggle, don't be afraid of being laughed at

"I once turned my youth into her
"There was a time when midsummer popped up at my fingertips

"Just go with what your heart tells you."

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment to the fullest.

Just as he had done when he sang the song in front of her at Yaleju.

A person may not be able to step into the same river twice in his life, but at least he can stand at one end of time and look back at the other end, and then turn back and cherish every moment of the present.
