Chapter 460 The 'Surprise' Being Planned [2K7]

After leaving the restaurant, Watanabe Yu and his group said goodbye to Yasuhara Risa and Eda Ikumi, and headed straight for their destination.

Is it getting a bit hot?

After walking for a while, Ayana Amamiya raised her hand to shield her eyes from the dazzling sunlight that pierced through the tall buildings and fell on the ground.

Compared to the morning, the afternoon sun is noticeably stronger, and the ground temperature is also higher. However, compared to the unbearable heat of midsummer, where you feel like you'll melt if you go outside for a short while, the temperature is perfectly acceptable now.

"Yes."

Ryoko Hamabe took out her phone, glanced at it, and then gave an affirmative answer.

What's the temperature right now?

The young lady turned around and asked a question.

"29℃. It was 26℃ in the morning. Considering the direct sunlight, the actual temperature right now should be around 30~31℃."

Ryoko Hamabe gave a concise answer and then put her phone back in her pocket.

Compared to skirts, she personally prefers to wear various kinds of casual pants when shopping. Firstly, they are lighter and she doesn't have to worry about accidentally exposing herself while moving around. Secondly, wearing casual pants when shopping gives people a cleaner and more neat impression.

In layman's terms, it means it should be easier to negotiate prices so that you don't waste your breath.

Of course, to satisfy someone's little quirks, she would also wear black pantyhose and various kinds of stockings in her daily life.

"No wonder, I felt like I was melting."

The young lady moved to a shady spot, then raised her fair, delicate hand to fan herself.

A thin layer of sweat had already appeared on her fair forehead.

"How about we find a bubble tea shop to sit in for a while?"

Watanabe Yu glanced at the bubble tea shop not far away and made a comment.

The sun is quite strong right now, and many pedestrians on the street are sweating profusely.

If the temperature rises by another nine or ten degrees Celsius, returning to the feeling of midsummer, then everyone will quickly become 'acquainted'—in the literal sense.

"It will take up time, won't it?"

Ayana Amamiya frowned slightly, feigning concern.

She wasn't actually that hot or worried; she just wanted to relax a bit after dinner.

“We can afford to take this time off.” Watanabe paused. “Besides, if you really want to talk about it, this isn’t really a delay. Normally, we should rest for half an hour to an hour after a meal.”

Take their company, Yuna, for example. They have a two-and-a-half-hour break at noon. When orders are not overwhelming, there is no such thing as overtime. Everyone leaves on time. And when overtime is required, the overtime pay is sufficient.

"That's...indeed."

Ryoko Hamabe glanced at the saintess, then immediately looked away, understanding the situation, and echoed her sentiment.

Someone careless might not have noticed, but she did.

Sigh, that little scheme of mine.

But then again, it's actually quite interesting.

In her mind, Ayana was the kind of person who said what she thought.

In other words, instead of making excuses, Ayana would have been more direct, taking his hand and acting cute.

Is it because you're there that you feel embarrassed?

still?

"After we've looked at the home appliances, how about we go see a movie or something?"

Ayana Amamiya started walking again and casually offered a suggestion.

"I have no opinion."

Watanabe Yu's answer was as usual.

He's always been open to anything like dating.

"I don't have any objection either."

In an instant, Ryoko Hamabe suddenly understood.

So that's why.

No wonder then.

"So it's decided then?"

The young lady with her hands behind her back unconsciously curled up slightly at the corners of her mouth.

"Ah."

Yu Watanabe and Ryoko Hamabe gave their answers in unison.

"Let's go then~ Our destination: the bubble tea shop up ahead!"

Ayana Amamiya quickened her pace; she was already looking forward to the movie that evening.

She read the synopsis of that romance movie and also looked up the director and the screenwriter in charge of the script.

—She had already cleared the minefield beforehand!

"correct."

Watanabe suddenly remembered something else.

"what?"

The young lady stopped and turned to look at him.

"..."

Ryoko Hamabe didn't say anything, but she also silently looked at him.

"If it's not too late after the movie, we can go somewhere else."

Watanabe Yu gave a mysterious smile, keeping everyone in suspense.

He stumbled upon that place while browsing the news a couple of days ago.

It's perfect for evening dates and walks, and most importantly, it's not far from where they live.

"Looks like you're not going to talk." Ayana Amamiya and Ryoko Hamabe exchanged a glance, then shook their heads helplessly.

Yes, the way someone piqued their curiosity was indeed cliché, but unfortunately, they were indeed piqued.

"Yes."

"Don't give such a definite answer in a situation like this."

The young lady rolled her eyes and made a small complaint.

"After all, it's a surprise."

Ryoko Hamabe nodded knowingly, offering a way out for someone.

"You should speak up for him."

Ayana Amamiya glared at Ryoko Hamabe with annoyance, then turned around and started walking again.

However, judging from her light and quick steps, she was quite hypocritical.

"Let's go too." Ryoko Hamabe chuckled softly, gently taking Yu Watanabe's arm, then whispered in his ear, "My dearest husband~"

She didn't steal it; Ayana gave her the opportunity willingly.

and so.

I'm sorry, Ayana~

On the other side, Ikumi Eda and Risa Yasuhara also embarked on their journey home.

However, unlike when she arrived, Eda Ikumi's expression was noticeably more relaxed.

"Will this be enough to get by at home?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Risa Yasuhara looked out the window at the receding street scene and asked a question.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Yumi managed to get through it.

What about her?

Or, if you can handle it once or twice, what about three or four times, or even more?
"God knows."

Eda Ikumi gently pressed the brake, and only after the pedestrians on the crosswalk had crossed did she release the brake and press the accelerator again.

"That……"

"At least one thing has been resolved, hasn't it? And now we have a legitimate excuse to slack off."

The policewoman smiled, her tone quite relaxed.

She prefers spending time with students who are less demanding than with colleagues or interrogating 'criminals'.

Of course, if she were to become a teacher, I would politely decline.

She's just impatient and wouldn't be a good teacher.

What if your family continues to pressure you?

Although she knew it wasn't a good idea to ask, Risa Yasuhara still asked.

"Then I'll just run away. What else can I do? Besides, I don't even live at home."

Ikumi Eda gave a nonchalant answer.

After chatting during dinner, she figured out some things and became more determined in her mind.

She is right.

Marriage, in essence, has no age limit for marriage, only people who are ready to marry.

If you haven't found the right person and are only focused on getting married to complete this so-called "main task" of life, you're bound to suffer.

Just like that once-popular female singer, she retired at the peak of her career for love, only to be revealed to be divorced less than two years later.

She felt that such fleeting love and marriage were unnecessary and only added to her troubles.

However, she does like children quite a bit.

It takes a little more effort when they are one or two years old.

But knowing her parents' personalities, if she really has a baby, they will definitely help take care of it.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Risa Yasuhara lowered her eyes, a hint of relief appearing on her face.

That's true.

She was worrying too much.

And thinking about it carefully, ever since she invested in Yuna Company, her family has been urging her to get married less and less. So far this year, they seem to have only mentioned it to her once.

Then she stopped talking.

seem……

Am I overthinking it?
"However, if they really resort to some extreme measures, I'll have to trouble you to take me in."

Eda Ikumi then uttered those words.

"..."

Well, she didn't think too much about it.

"Relax, don't make that face. You're so stingy. I'll take care of the cooking." Jiang Tianyu gave her best friend a disgruntled look. "Also, do you know any high-performing guys who can introduce me to someone? My requirements aren't high. I just need someone with about 70% of Watanabe's vibe."

She was indeed somewhat tempted during the meal.

—She was referring to the feeling of being cared for, and the natural feeling of being part of a family.

To outsiders, it would truly evoke a sense of genuine envy.

"hehe."

Risa Yasuhara gave a forced smile, then gave her best friend a look that left her to figure it out.

If she really had one, would she leave it to her?

What a joke!
