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

Chapter 440 Reminiscing about the Past [4K]

Compared to other things, time is quite fair.

It doesn't matter whether you are poor or rich, healthy or seriously ill. It will just move forward at its own pace, flowing away quietly like quicksand held tightly in your hand.

In the blink of an eye, time has come for the long-awaited weekend that the students of Chengnan Private High School love and hate.

I love it because for the students in their second and third years of high school, the weekend is a precious holiday that comes only once a month, but I hate it because the school’s arrangements are always on schedule, that is, after every weekend, there is the monthly exam that no one likes.

"Speaking of which, the monthly exam will be held the day after tomorrow."

Saturday, 10am, in the recording studio of Hayakawa's home.

Taking advantage of the break after recording "First Love", Yuki Hayakawa put down her guitar, stuck out her pink tongue, and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Yeah." Watanabe Yu put the microphone back on the microphone stand, then turned around and looked at Xiao Yuki, "So how are you reviewing?"

It must be said that ever since Yuki started to take her studies seriously, her grades have been improving at a rate that can be said to be different every day.

Although she is still not as good as the "academic geniuses" like Ryoko and Ayana, compared to others, she can be considered a gifted person.

But talent is talent, and Yuki is also very hardworking in her studies and has worked very hard.

Not everyone can have the determination to study hard.

"Yu."

Yuki Hayakawa rolled her eyes, and there was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Sometimes, he is really bad at chatting and is so straightforward that people are speechless.

"Ok?"

"How should I respond if you ask me that?"

She pursed her lips.

Since she asked with such an opening remark, it must be that she didn't review well. Even until last night, she hadn't found even the most basic structure.

Although it has not reached the point where there is no progress, it is not far from standing still.

"Uh...sorry."

After she mentioned this, Watanabe Yuya realized his gaffe. After coughing lightly, he took the initiative to change the subject, "I mean, it's okay even if you don't have any ideas. There's still a study session tomorrow, right?"

Let's not talk about him, just Ayana and Ryoko. As long as Yuki mentions it, saying that she can't find the direction in her review, they will definitely do their best to tutor her.

According to Ayana, the three of them have formed an "alliance", and it is normal for allies to help each other and advance and retreat together.

"Yes, but that's not what I meant just now." Hayakawa Yuki hesitated, "I meant you... Oh, forget it."

Honestly speaking, what You just said is enough to make many girls pass him up.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually a good thing. At least in the future she doesn't have to worry about anyone pestering him. And if she really wants to say something, apart from being a little too direct and easily killing the topic, there is actually no big problem with the way he responded.

"I'll try to correct it."

Even though she didn't say it explicitly, he got what she meant.

After all, this wasn't the first time someone had said something similar to him.

"ask you a question."

Yuki Hayakawa raised her eyebrows and looked straight into his eyes.

"Please say."

Watanabe Yu met her gaze very frankly.

"If one day Ryoko came back with an umbrella and told you that she had a fever and that she had walked two kilometers in the rain despite the discomfort, what would you say?"

"Brilliant."

Watanabe Yu answered without hesitation, and before Yuki could roll her eyes, he added another sentence.

"Then take her to the hospital."

Although people in Japan usually take cold or fever-reducing medicine on their own when they have a fever, he thought it would be safer to go to the hospital.

Even if the result after examination is just a common fever, that's fine.

At least this eliminates those very bad possibilities. He personally thinks it is worthwhile to spend a little more time to buy peace of mind.

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuji fell silent.

She suddenly didn't know how to respond.

It was true that he made some joking remarks, but he also took substantial actions. And she could see and hear that the sentence he added at the end was not just nice talk, but what he really thought.

This made her a little helpless.

He is indeed a bit wooden, and sometimes he speaks like a steely straight man, but when it comes to taking responsibility, he does it without hesitation and is not even afraid of trouble.

Just the act of sending someone to the hospital when they have a fever is something that quite a number of people are unable to do.

They would think that it is just a common fever and it can be cured by taking some antipyretics, so why make a fuss about it?
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this approach, it’s just that the judgment is different, one is relatively more cautious, and the other is relatively more careless.

But for the "patients", the two completely different approaches give people completely different feelings.

And it just so happened that she was the type of person who, after falling ill, would crave the care of someone she had an intimate relationship with even more, and his actions undoubtedly hit the mark in her heart.

"what happened?"

Watanabe Yu asked with some confusion.

In his impression, Yuki was not the kind of taciturn person. She always spoke whatever she wanted to say.

"Nothing, I suddenly have nothing against you."

Yuki Hayakawa shook her head and felt much better.

"Compared to this, the intermission is almost done, let's record it a few more times."

She has a perfectionist complex when it comes to music.

If she can achieve 95 points, then she will definitely not stop at 90 points.

"ok~"

Watanabe Yu nodded slightly and walked back to the microphone stand.

After picking up the microphone, he closed his eyes and waited for Yuki's prelude to sound.

*
At the same time, in a cafe near Hayakawa's house.

"It's been a long time since we last met."

Naoko Hayakawa looked at her friend in front of her and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"So you sigh when you meet an old friend you haven't seen for a long time?" Nagano Rinone pursed her lips in a pretended angry tone, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "If you sigh all the time, happiness will slip away."

Compared to the sad-looking Shangzi, she prefers the energetic Shangzi.

"No, I just feel a little emotional." Hayakawa Naoko shook her head, "I suddenly realized that so many years have passed."

"Of course, Yuki is in high school, right?" Nagano Rin paused, "When people reach a certain age, they will feel that time is passing faster and faster."

“If only time could slow down.”

Naoko Hayakawa rubbed her nose and took a sip of the bitter coffee. The bitter taste blossomed on her tongue, and also made her mind clearer.

"Come to think of it, how come the great pianist has time to come and talk to me about the past?"

She raised her head and asked the question out of curiosity.

Compared to her who has already retired, it is no exaggeration to say that Rin's fame is at its peak.

In the piano community, Rin has become a leading figure. Her name is often seen either in major competitions or international performances.

Corresponding to her fame, Rin's work schedule is packed. If you want to ask her to attend a certain event, you have to make an appointment one month or even two months in advance, and sometimes you may not even get an appointment.

Therefore, her words were both a joke and the truth.

"The great pianist has been in some trouble lately."

Nagano Rin shrugged, picked up the fork and poked the crepe in front of her, her brows full of fatigue.

"So let's not talk about this?"

Hayakawa Naoko asked.

She could see that Rin was indeed a little tired.

In that case, why not talk about work that makes people unhappy? It’s also nice to talk about life.

"Just to my liking."

"Then let's talk about your relationship problems."

Naoko Hayakawa coughed lightly and started to talk about something that was not related to the topic in a very malicious way.

"What's there to talk about? I think you should focus more on your relationship issues than me. To be honest, there are a lot of people chasing you, right?"

When asked about her relationship issues, she was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She changed her previous slow and measured manner and started talking like a machine gun to change the subject.

She really didn't want to talk about this.

Because every time she talked about this topic, she felt like she had been abandoned by her good friends.

The friends around her who were supposed to get married got married, and those who were supposed to have children had children, while those who were quick, like Shangzi, had already experienced everything from marriage to divorce, and their children were even in high school.

In comparison, she seemed to be standing still, as if looking back, she was the only one still dreaming.

The most crucial thing is that on this issue, no matter how successful she is in the circle now or how big her status is, it cannot change the fact that she has been left behind.

"No." Naoko Hayakawa looked at her with a smile, "There aren't many people of the opposite sex I can meet in my work and social circles, and I'm not interested in them, so, what about you?"

That means no matter how stupid a person is, he won't fall for the same problem twice, right?

Since the day of her divorce, she has never thought about getting married again, and with her abilities, she can take care of herself.

As for what to do when you get old, we’ll talk about it later.

"Me? Still the same."

Although she was very reluctant, Nagano Rin still gave an answer while pinching her nose.

There's nothing you can do about it. That's the way their circle of friends get along with each other. When you ask a question and a friend answers it, then they have the right to ask you the question in return, and no matter how much you don't want to say it, you have to give a perfunctory answer.

Of course, except for those that are extremely private.

"What do you mean by old-fashioned?"

Hayakawa Naoko asked the question even though she knew the answer.

"I just haven't seen anyone suitable." Nagano Rinyin pursed her lips, "And I don't have any thoughts in that regard."

She had even thought about it. If she needed support in her old age, she would shamelessly come to Shangzi. She would give her some money, and they would live together and take care of each other.

"That's not what you said at the beginning of the year."

Naoko Hayakawa exposed her without giving her any face.

At the beginning of the year, a great pianist who did not want to reveal his name made a bold statement, saying that he would definitely get married this year.

But in the blink of an eye, half of the year has passed, and someone still hasn't moved, but the work is completed quite frequently.

"Plans can never keep up with changes."

Nagano Rin picked up the knife, cut a small piece of crepe, then picked it up with a fork and put it into her mouth.

"Did you tell your family the same thing?"

Hayakawa Naoko blinked.

"Um……"

As she chewed the crepe in her mouth in small bites, Nagano Rin's expression unconsciously became complicated.

Crepes are supposed to be sweet, but now they tasted bland to her.

"Being scolded again?"

Seeing her expression, Naoko Hayakawa immediately understood what she meant.

It is no exaggeration to say that among their circle of friends, Rin is the one whose family urges her the most.

Firstly, her age is there, and secondly, Rin's family has extremely traditional ideas. As for the idea of ​​giving money to her family to let them know that she is financially independent, this idea does not hold true in Rin's family.

The reason is simple. Although the Nagano family is a musical family, they are quite wealthy because they run a piano business.

"What else?" Nagano Rin took a bite of her fork. "On this matter alone, I really have no room for rebuttal."

The only thing to be thankful for is that she moved out of the house early, and the frequency and duration of being nagged about her have decreased significantly compared to before.

In a year, people would only mention it during the New Year and in the middle of the year.

But recently they stopped playing the urging card and started playing the emotional card, frantically saying that they were old and didn't have many years left, which made her very uncomfortable.

"If it doesn't work, then ..."

Naoko Hayakawa thought about it and decided to give up her unreliable proposal.

"I've thought of the trick you're thinking of, but that won't work." Nagano Rin shook her head. "Compared to this, can I stay at your house for a few days?"

The partner was in a hurry, but the problem was that it was not easy to write an original piano piece, especially one that had to fit the tone of the movie.

There are many special requirements, which must satisfy the anti-war and peace sentiments, and the melody must be sad but soothing. She is not a wish-making machine, so how can she contact you half a month in advance and give it to you half a month later?

It just so happened that the director who approached her was a very famous new director who had become an international star in recent years, and it was difficult to refuse him, so she could only delay it.

Of course, it cannot be said that she was procrastinating. We can only say that she wanted to change the environment to find some ideas.

"Sure, but did you bring a change of clothes?"

Naoko Hayakawa looked Nagano Rin up and down and asked a question.

When she was young, this person did this kind of thing. When she went out to play with a group of people, she didn't bring any clothes, so she borrowed clothes from here and there to wear.

Although everyone has a good relationship and doesn't mind this matter, it still makes people a little speechless when they think about it.

"Bring it."

Nagano Rin nodded slightly, raised her white fingers and pointed at the car outside the glass window.

"In the car."
