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

Chapter 508 Invitation

After returning from the amusement park, Watanabe Yu's life returned to normal.

In fact, he prefers the relatively peaceful campus life to being in the spotlight and being pointed at by cameras. After all, before becoming a public figure, he doesn't need to be too cautious about what he says and does.

Conversely, once you step into the limelight, whether you like it or not, many things will naturally be imposed on you, and if you act impulsively, it will cause quite troublesome consequences.

Not to mention that when you're in the eye of the storm, naturally some people will want to mess with you, and these people won't let go of such a good opportunity.

Therefore, he will try his best to postpone becoming a public figure.

"Is the amusement park fun?"

After the second period in the afternoon, Kiriyama Kazuma, who was taking a break in the corridor, coughed lightly, then turned to look at Watanabe Yu, who was also taking a break, and started a conversation.

"It's quite fun." Watanabe Yu rested his hands on the corridor railing, gazing at the distant blue sky. "Also, thanks for the tickets."

Although it's not nice to say it like this, from any perspective, unless Maki Takakura has a living Saudi uncle, given her family's connections, she definitely wouldn't have been able to get those two amusement park tickets.

"...How did you know it was me who gave it to you?"

Kiriyama and Ma were taken aback for a moment, then raised their eyebrows in curiosity.

He was quite certain that Maki hadn't mentioned her own when she was talking to Hayakawa about the amusement park tickets.

"intuition."

Watanabe Yu shrugged and said something ridiculous.

In matters like these, he least trusts so-called 'intuition'; he believes that things like a sixth sense are better left to women.

"You fart"

Kiriyama rolled his eyes. Didn't he know Watanabe Yu?
This guy always speaks with a basis, he doesn't make baseless accusations, and he certainly doesn't act based on so-called 'intuition'. Although some people's intuition is very accurate, this doesn't apply to the latter.

After all, the latter had said that he trusted understanding the cause and effect of a person's character more than intuition.

“Okay, it’s just speculation.” Seeing that Kiriyama Kazuma was so certain and that he was indeed right, Watanabe Yu shrugged and gave the truthful answer, “Although it might be a little impolite to say it like that.”

"But given the Takakura family's social circle, they probably don't have the channels for that."

If you're talking about tickets for the food festival, he believes he can get tickets for Takakura-ya, since the latter is considered a well-known barbecue restaurant in Tokyo.

Given more time, he might earn the nickname "Barbecue Master".

“I am part of her network.”

Kiriyama Kazuma sighed and silently looked at Watanabe Yu.

He understood what the latter meant, but the latter's statement did make him feel somewhat helpless, quite helpless.

“So, it can only be you.” Watanabe Yu continued, “And coincidentally, there are only two tickets. That alone is 'coincidence' enough.”

He doesn't believe there are so many coincidences in the world.

It's like you only have one pillow, but someone unknowingly brings you a blanket.

While the probability isn't exactly zero, it's close to zero.

"Tsk, what you're saying..."

Kiriyama clicked his tongue, his expression becoming subtle. He had originally wanted to mutter a few more words, but the words spoken by that person immediately shut him down.

What could he say? He could only sigh silently in his heart, and sigh with admiration that his buddy really knew how to talk.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you'd never be able to speak so flawlessly.

Or rather, it doesn't leak even a drop of water.

"But I'm quite curious, why didn't you take Takakura with you?"

Watanabe Yu changed the subject and turned around curiously to look at Kiriyama Kazuma's slightly depressed face.

"Is that amusement park's main selling point that it caters to couples?"

As far as he knows, amusement parks that primarily cater to couples are extremely rare in Tokyo, and with such new facilities and such warm service, they are practically unique.

Other amusement parks may have decent service, but you'll need to buy the best tier of tickets.

This can be considered a common characteristic of capitalist countries.

The main selling point is a stark difference in quality; they're practically charging you for everything, even breathing.

"I want it too."

Speaking of this, Kiriyama Kazuma was speechless. That was his original plan, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

"But that day, Maki's eyebrows were all furrowed together. If I, as her boyfriend, didn't do something, I reckon she would be unhappy for a long time."

To quote what the girls in the class were saying, this is also the responsibility of a boyfriend; he has to take care of each other's feelings and try his best to make the other person happy.

After all, Maki treated him the same way when he was feeling down.

She always tries her best to make him happy.

"She's just a girlfriend. If she really becomes a wife, then wouldn't you be..." Watanabe Yu winked mischievously, then uttered the three words most familiar to people from Sichuan and Chongqing, "henpecked?"

Actually, in dialect terms, it should be called "henpecked husband," but considering the regional differences, he was afraid that Tongshan and Ma wouldn't understand, so he didn't use that expression.

"Being henpecked isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Kiriyama Kazuma shrugged rather generously, giving Watanabe Yu a look that said, "That's just how I am, so what?"

"You could even say that my family actually hopes I'm henpecked. In their words, the family business isn't that big yet, and if you go out and have some illegitimate kids, there won't be enough money in the family to go around with."

In a sense, he can be considered a 'henpecked husband' with the approval of his family.

and so.

There's absolutely no problem!

On the other hand, if you think about it carefully, his whole family is henpecked.

Although my mother and grandmother are not actually fierce and are quite reasonable in life, both my father and grandfather respect and listen to them.

Is this what they mean by commanding respect without anger?
“That’s very realistic.” Watanabe Yu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then patted Kiriyama Kazuma on the shoulder and said 'naturally', “After all, that’s how it’s portrayed in TV dramas about family feuds.”

This is what we call art originating from life, but transcending it.

After all, you haven't seen many TV dramas that involve feuds among wealthy families, or that talk about how wealthy families should not mess around, otherwise the division of the inheritance will be difficult.

Damn, that's a bit too realistic!

Those TV dramas all tell stories of a prince being switched at birth and the revenge of an illegitimate child.

Speaking of which, I watched a lot of these kinds of TV dramas with my family during the Chinese New Year before I transmigrated. At first, I tried to resist, but later, I was completely assimilated.

"You're overthinking it. In most cases, there's no chance for an illegitimate child to take over." Kiriyama Kazuma pursed his lips. "You don't think the families behind those legal wives are just sitting around doing nothing, do you? The succession arrangements have already been made."

"Of course, if they are all born to the legal wife, then that's another story."

"However, this is in most cases. The Amamiya family is an exception among exceptions, because when the Amamiya family and the Hokushin family were arranged to marry, the latter needed something from the former, and at that time the latter was quite weak."

If it weren't for this prerequisite, given the current temperament of the Beichen family, they definitely wouldn't have agreed to a marriage alliance with the Yugong family. "How do you know so much about this? And how do you understand inheritance so well?"

Watanabe frowned.

Normally, when it comes to such family history, outsiders from other families can only get a general idea and shouldn't know the specific reasons behind it.

and many more.

Do not you know?

Perhaps it's just for the sake of maintaining harmony, so they habitually keep it a secret?

"Let's talk about the first question first. Everyone in this circle knew about it back then." Kiriyama Kazuma gave Watanabe Yu a look that said, 'It's not as complicated as you think.' "Now let's talk about the second question."

"This is part of the family education in most families like ours, although I don't think this kind of education is necessary."

After saying that, he pouted and then proudly puffed out his chest.

"Because for children, parents are the best teachers. Everyone in my family is a warrior of pure love, a staunch advocate of monogamy, and they all have a very good relationship."

Compared to his naivety when he was in elementary and middle school, he now understands why he is so confident. His family's financial situation is one aspect, but more importantly, his parents have a very good relationship, and his grandparents also have a very good relationship.

He grew up surrounded by love, which is why he is so resilient to setbacks; his family's love is his source of strength.

"It's a bit like a science fiction movie."

Watanabe Yu offered a timely compliment.

"It's alright, compared to your situation..." Kiriyama Kazuma made a face, "Who dares to call themselves a science fiction film?"

Of all the people he had ever met, none were like his good friend.

Aside from relationships maintained by money, most people would want to possess the other person entirely.

People like Watanabe Yu, who are among the very few young ladies who not only don't quarrel but can sit down and talk, and even decide to tolerate each other's existence after discussion, are extremely rare, a mere drop in the ocean.

But, as Grandpa said, everyone has their own destiny.

and so……

He couldn't possibly envy it, and he didn't envy it at all.

He knew very well that what he had now was the best and the most suitable for him.

"Speaking of which, the amusement park has very complete infrastructure and the staff are very friendly."

Watanabe Yu coughed lightly, abruptly changing the subject, "If nothing unexpected happens, that amusement park should have a chance to become the most popular amusement park next year."

However, what he said was indeed the truth.

Given the overall quality demonstrated by that amusement park, reaching the top next year is indeed only a matter of time.

Moreover, he was quite looking forward to seeing what kind of stir the special rewards would create once the amusement park was officially open.

If they can stay true to their principles and only give special rewards to those who have been recognized, then that special reward will definitely become one of the key features of this amusement park.

Why next year?

Kiriyama and Ma asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because it's only just started its trial operation, it definitely won't be officially operational until next year."

Do I still need to ask?
Watanabe Yu rolled his eyes.

Sometimes he even wondered if Kiriyama Kazuma was always oscillating between being smart and stupid.

"That's true." Kiriyama and Ma nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something. "By the way, did your family receive that invitation?"

His family has already received it and has clearly stated that they will go.

The only dilemma he was having was whether or not to bring Maki along. His family thought it was okay to bring her, as a way to familiarize herself with the place beforehand, but he felt it depended on Maki's wishes. If Maki didn't want to go, he wouldn't force her.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you can understand that feeling. Going on a date in private is one thing, but appearing together in public is another.

Even if you don't reject it from the bottom of your heart, you'll still feel very shy.

In plain terms, it takes time to overcome this feeling of shyness.

"What invitation?"

Watanabe Yu was a little confused.

Theoretically speaking, he can only receive invitations from Kita Shinichiro's side, and through the Saintess's channels.

If he doesn't receive an invitation from either side, then he'll be completely at a loss.

"That shouldn't be the case." Kiriyama Kazuma frowned suspiciously, but he didn't think much of it. After muttering a few words, he told what he knew: "It's the engagement banquet of the daughter of the president of Akiyama Co., Ltd., a company that specializes in cosmetics."

"It's quite interesting, actually. That president got married very young, which is considered extremely early in that industry."

"Of course, many people laughed at him, saying that he had hanged himself so early, what would he do if he met the right person in the future? But he said that he had already met the right person and did not plan to change again in the future."

"As it turned out, he was the one with foresight. After getting married, his wife became his capable assistant, and the family company's business got better and better."

"Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent! Anyway, that's the gist of it."

"By the way, his daughter's boyfriend isn't from a wealthy family; he's just an ordinary person. He might end up being a live-in son-in-law?"

Anyway, they have a very clear understanding of these matters.

"No……"

Buzz!

Before Watanabe Yu could finish speaking, his phone, which was in his pocket, vibrated.

"wait for me."

He gave Kiriyama and Kazuma a look that said "wait a moment," then took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and checked the messages.

"so?"

About half a minute later, Kiriyama looked in his direction and asked a question.

"I've received the invitation you mentioned."

Watanabe Yu showed his phone to Kiriyama, then put it in his pocket.

The message was sent by my mom.

The content was very simple; it basically meant that he should attend the engagement party.

"Isn't that great? We can still meet there." Kiriyama Kazuma chuckled, then patted Watanabe Yu on the shoulder and reminded him, "As far as I know, they also invited the Eda family. The latter accepted the invitation, but didn't say whether they would come or not."

His subtext was that if he came, it would be a perfect opportunity to build connections.

This was especially true given that Sumire Eda already had a good impression of her good friend.

In short, it's a great opportunity that we should seize!
