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

Chapter 503 Further, She Who Shines (Part 1)

In fact, by the middle of the school festival, when it was in full swing, the entire school already knew who the final winner would be.

So when they heard the school festival award rankings on the radio, no one was surprised. They were just secretly wondering how the rewards for Class B and Class C, who won first place, would be divided, and whether there would be any problems, such as some people wanting to get more.

Unfortunately, this idea of ​​the amused people was not verified. Just as Class B and Class C had agreed beforehand, all the proceeds from this school festival, excluding the wages, red envelopes, and the portion that should be added to the class funds, would be divided equally.

With the smooth conclusion of the school festival, Jonan Private High School has returned to its original rhythm.

Senior high school students are preparing diligently for their college entrance exams, while junior high school students, under the guidance of their teachers, are working hard to learn the material from the second half of their junior year, hoping to begin learning senior high school material after the start of the third semester.

As for the first-year high school students, the sense of urgency is irrelevant to them; they are still trying to adapt to the teaching pace of the private high school in the south of the city.

Before they knew it, it was Saturday of the following week, the day Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki had agreed to go to the amusement park.

"Speaking of which, the last time we went to an amusement park together was the last time."

As soon as they came out of the subway station, Watanabe Yu started the conversation.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, talking nonsense, occasionally acting crazy, and playing dumb in life is indeed something that can make yourself and the people around you happy.

"No, we've never been to an amusement park together."

Hayakawa Yuki glanced at the busy pedestrian walkway in front of her, then at the bright sunshine and the blue sky. After thinking it over, she took the initiative to move closer to Watanabe Yu and then took his arm.

This is what couples doing on the street right now!

So she has to do it too!
This is called "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"!

"Uh, no?"

Watanabe Yu was somewhat bewildered.

He should have some recollection of it.

Did he remember wrong, or... wait! Oh no, he definitely remembered wrong. He went to the amusement park with the Holy Maiden last time!
Damn it, Brother Tong! Is this how you tricked me with your amazing memory?!
"No."

Hayakawa Yuki didn't think too much about it and repeated it truthfully.

"That's alright, we'll go together this time."

Watanabe Yu took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mindset to make amends.

There's a saying that goes, "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost."

If the problem is addressed properly, it will be easily solved, right?
"..." Upon hearing this, Hayakawa Yuki, who was holding his hand, was taken aback at first, then laughed, "I thought you would apologize."

In her memory, someone would habitually apologize in such situations.

Of course, it wasn't the kind of written apology that lacked any real remorse. She could indeed feel his remorse, but it wasn't proactive enough; in other words, it lacked the strong, subjective initiative to make amends for his guilt.

And if we have to say something, being more proactive often gets more points in these situations.

However, dating isn't about DIYing your partner according to your own preferences; it's a process of gradually getting to know each other.

Therefore, she could accept him as he was.

After all, she likes him.

"Because I suddenly realized something."

Watanabe Yu glanced straight ahead, then gently pulled Yuki, who was clinging to his arm, towards him. The next second, a bicycle traveling in the wrong direction passed by them.

The person riding the bike was saying "Smimasy" as they pedaled furiously.

All I can say is that the Japanese seem to really like this feel.

"Thank you."

Yuki was stunned for a moment, still somewhat shaken, and the hands that were holding his arm tightened their grip.

She really didn't expect that a bicycle would be riding against traffic on such a sidewalk. Wasn't that person afraid of getting arrested by the police?!
"Look, just like that guy on the bike earlier, he showed no remorse whatsoever. His so-called 'Smimasy' was nothing but a perfunctory verbal expression."

Watanabe Yu slowed down and looked at the intersection directly ahead. If they maintained their current speed, they should be able to avoid traffic lights.

"Apologizing is fine, but if you just keep saying it every day, it's meaningless. Actions speak louder than words."

This is a truth he suddenly realized in the last two days.

Since he's decided to be a scumbag, uh, a pure love god, he has to be prepared for the consequences. He was a bit too half-hearted before.

He's not even close to being a half-baked tough guy.

"Indeed it is."

Hayakawa Yuki recovered her senses, her steps became lighter again, and then she let go of his arm and put her small hand into his big hand instead.

Although it wasn't very hot today, she still wanted to get closer to him.

She needs to replenish the energy and temperature of the Watanabe amulet.

"So, you have to show me around properly today and create memories that are just between the two of us!"

In the past, she wouldn't have expressed her feelings so obviously, but now, times have changed, people change, and she has changed too.

Just like the saintly young lady taught her, how can others know your thoughts if you don't express them? Although the atmosphere of "you know what I mean, no words are needed" is more romantic, humans are emotional creatures.

You have to express your feelings directly to move others.

"I am very sure of that."

Watanabe Yu nodded very seriously.

That was his original plan.

This was both to make up for what had just happened and to fulfill her responsibilities as a boyfriend.

"By the way, have you ever owned a cat?"

After holding hands and crossing the pedestrian crossing, Hayakawa Yuki took the initiative to start a new conversation, and a hint of longing appeared between her brows.

She had wanted to get a cat before, but her mother refused, saying that there would be no one to take care of the cat.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. At that time, my mother was too busy taking care of herself, and she was only in the third grade of elementary school. She didn't have much time to take care of the cat.

It was mainly because I was stubborn back then that I insisted on raising a kitten.

Looking back now, I think if I had wanted to raise a large cat with a stable temperament, my mother might have agreed.

It's kind of funny when I think about it. After I finished explaining my thoughts, my mom squatted down and asked me very seriously, "Who will take care of the cat?"

Then she gave a very serious answer, saying that she would do it herself, and even patted her chest lightly to increase credibility.

The result...

Unsurprisingly, Mom laughed in exasperation.

She said, "You're still a child. A child taking care of a kitten, a child taking care of another child, right?"
After that, the matter was dropped.

"Um...no."

Watanabe Yu shook his head.

Actually, I did have one, but that was before I transmigrated. I didn't raise any fancy-looking cats like blue cats or Filipino maid cats; I had a calico cat with a very good personality.

Later, the cat lived a long and peaceful life and died of old age, which can be considered a happy ending.

But he still stopped keeping cats.

Owning a pet can be very joyful at first, but when the time comes to truly experience separation or death, even the most rational person will have their psychological defenses breached and will feel sad for a long time.

He prides himself on being a relatively rational person, but he still finds it hard to accept things like life and death.

"Would you consider getting one later?" Hayakawa Yuki blinked and looked at him expectantly.

She had never owned a cat before, but now, or in the future, she wants to give it a try.

After all, cats are really cute!
"If you want to raise it."

Watanabe Yu didn't seem to care.

Speaking of cats, Ayana has mentioned it before. She said that she prefers lazy cats to active dogs.

Ryoko, on the other hand, expressed the complete opposite opinion. She thought dogs were cuter because they were more obedient and loyal.

If I were to raise them, I'd probably get a cat and a dog?
"We'll see when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa Yuki's expression brightened, like a cat having its chin scratched by its owner, almost purring happily.

"So, what kind of cat does Yu like? A white cat? A black cat? An orange cat? Or one of those beautiful calico cats you see online? Or perhaps a Ragdoll?"

She then asked that question.

Compared to other cats, she prefers calico and Siamese cats.

The former is beautiful because it's concise, while the latter is good-natured and is a companion cat.

"Califlower cats, by the way, are all great beauties in the feline world."

Watanabe Yu gave his answer without even thinking.

He actually quite liked tabby cats, but considering their unruly nature, he decided against it.

"I know that. I even saw a video of a calico cat going on a blind date with a Ragdoll cat before. The calico cat was quite resistant, while the Ragdoll cat was quite proactive. I saw in the comments that Ragdoll cats are among the ugliest cat breeds?"

Yuki tilted her head, looking at Watanabe Yu as if seeking confirmation.

She remembered the comment very clearly because it was both professional and humorous.

"It seems so? But from our aesthetic point of view, Ragdoll cats are actually quite beautiful."

He didn't know much about cats, mainly because that beautiful calico was so easy to care for that he hadn't put much effort into it or learned much about it.

"Aha." Hayakawa Yuki became interested and gently shook the two hands that were clasped together, like waving her hand while marching. "Quick question, quick answer: Do cats prefer to snuggle up to boys or girls in winter?"

“Boys,” Watanabe Yu echoed, matching the rhythm of her arm swings. “Because boys have a higher body temperature, which is due to their higher basal metabolic rate compared to girls.”

"The most classic example is cold hands and feet, and this is more common in girls than boys."

"By the way, Yuki, do your hands and feet get cold in winter?"

Ayana gets cold; don't ask him how he knows.

Because he was the one she was freezing.

"Yes, that's why I can't leave the kotatsu in winter."

Hayakawa Yuki pursed her lips, and her voice sounded rather pitiful.

If she could, she would like to wander around during the snowy season, but unfortunately she is not resistant to the cold at all. Once she is dressed warmly, she doesn't want to move.

It's stuck in this middle, neither here nor there.

"This thing has a sealing function?"

Watanabe Yu made a joke at her.

At the same time, he inexplicably thought of a classic meme: Southerners watch and play in the snow, while Northerners watch Southerners watch and play in the snow.

However, since it snows every year in Japan, this kind of situation is unlikely to be seen.

"Hmph!" Yuki turned her head away, letting out a slightly arrogant snort. "No, it's just too cold!"

"I was saying we'd go to Hokkaido this winter, if you're afraid of the cold..."

Watanabe Yu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then drawled out his words.

When it comes to being mischievous, he's the expert.

"I can put my hands in your pockets!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hayakawa Yuki immediately chimed in.

Compared to feeling cold, being close to him is definitely more important.

Even though she knew this person was deliberately trying to cause trouble, she was still anxious!

"then what do I do?"

Watanabe Yu asked a question in return.

"Put your hands in your pockets too, and then hold mine. That way you'll be warmer, won't you?"

Hayakawa Yuki glanced at the sign not far away, then stopped.

They were only 500 meters away from their destination.

"Moreover, this way we can get closer together."

then.

Under Watanabe Yu's puzzled gaze, she tiptoed close to his ear, lowered her voice, and uttered those words in a tone only the two of them could hear.

"..."

Watanabe Yu's ears turned red instantly.

The warm breath tickled his heart.

"Your ears are red, Yu."

Hayakawa Yuki looked at his red ears and started teasing him playfully as she took another step.

He usually has the upper hand, but now, the tables have turned!
"This is normal. Anyone would feel embarrassed if their favorite girl talked to them like that."

After a twelve-second silence, Watanabe Yu gave his answer.

In a sense, he is indeed a high-attack, low-defense player.

"..."

Hayakawa Yuki's face also turned red.

"Bad guy!"

After about five seconds, she finally managed to squeeze out those two words.

After saying that, she let go of his hand in annoyance, then lightly patted his shoulder, and then quickened her pace by taking two steps forward as if she was angry. Then she stopped and turned around as if she had figured it out, and took his hand again.

"Hmph, the beautiful and kind-hearted Yuki-nee-nee doesn't want to argue with you~"

She gave a soft snort.

You're just taking advantage of my feelings for you! You scoundrel!

"Thank you, kind and beautiful Yuki-neechan."

Watanabe Yu picked up the conversation smoothly, while simultaneously squeezing his fingers between hers.

They chatted and laughed, their fingers intertwined.

The landmark signs of their destination soon came into view.
