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

Chapter 529 Ryoko in Action

At 6 p.m., Watanabe Yu and Hamabe Ryoko, having had dinner at the hotel, began their journey home.

As the sun set, a large black luxury sedan drove out of the hotel parking lot and merged into the main road, which was bathed in the red glow of the setting sun.

"The time is still too short."

Ryoko Hamabe, sitting in the back row, sighed.

She turned her head, her gaze passing over the closed car window and landing on the sunset that turned the snow-covered ground red.

The setting sun is not far from the horizon, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will sink completely in a little while. The reddened sky will gradually lose its bright color and turn into a deep blue with a sense of night.

"What? Haven't had enough fun yet?"

Watanabe Yu turned to look at her, then smiled and teased her.

Ryoko doesn't say things like that very often.

To put it bluntly, she is someone who hides her emotions.

She can accept being disturbed by her bad mood, but she cannot accept that the people around her are affected by her bad mood.

In a sense, the more considerate a person is, the more easily they are hurt.

However, he would never let Ryoko get hurt again.

"Yes."

Upon hearing his question, Ryoko Hamabe responded softly.

Her beautiful eyes reflected the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window.

However, due to the bleaching of the one-way windows designed to prevent peeping, the view outside was now tinted in a darker shade, and the sky appeared particularly gray.

For some reason, she felt a little more depressed.

Even though she knew that she shouldn't be feeling this depressed, or rather, there was no reason for it to happen.

Which project?

The curiosity in Watanabe Yu's eyes grew even stronger.

If this were a domineering CEO from a romance novel, he would wave for the driver to turn around and go back, and then continue on his way home only after he had his fun with Ryoko.

Unfortunately, life isn't a domineering CEO drama, and he couldn't bring himself to utter that old-fashioned love confession. The truth is, neither time nor Ryoko herself would agree to such a thing.

After all, their vacation time is limited; he has things to do, and Ryoko has things to do too.
He needed to record songs, while Ryoko needed to break free from her vacation and return to her normal studies.

"ski."

Ryoko Hamabe sighed, a hint of regret creeping into her eyes.

"I've only just mastered a little bit, and I've finally been able to skate freely, but before I've even had a chance to enjoy it enough, our vacation is about to end."

At this point, her tone inevitably carried a hint of complaint.

If she could, she would like to turn back time by five or six years, so that they would all be people who have left school and can arrange their own lives freely.

At that time, won't they be able to do whatever they want?
As for the family business and company, she had faith in Ayana's abilities.

Otherwise, Yuna Company wouldn't have developed so quickly.

Relationships are important, but personal ability is equally important. If you only have relationships but no ability, the final outcome will be that when the big tree you can rely on collapses, you will collapse along with it.

"This is what the second semester will be like."

Watanabe Yu offered her a word of comfort.

However, it must be said that the three-semester system in Japan is indeed quite abstract.

I didn't realize it when I watched anime or Japanese dramas before, but now that I've experienced it firsthand, I'm truly moved.

"I'll be really busy once school starts," Ryoko Hamabe sighed. "Although I've already mentally accepted the upcoming entrance exams..."

"But the days before it officially begins are indeed quite difficult, like a healthy person learning the exact date of their death."

"The key is that this death is not far off; it may be as early as next week."

This analogy may not be entirely accurate, but it truly reflects her current thoughts.

She could accept the difficult assignments, the continuous course schedule, the endless books to read, and the endless evening self-study sessions, but this kind of waiting really made her feel complicated.

If someone with good grades like her can feel this kind of anxiety, how much more so those with relatively average grades?
She was beginning to understand why, every school entrance exam season, some students would be in a bad state, or even worse, some would commit suicide due to excessive pressure.
—Although such a thing has never happened at the private high school in the south of the city.

Of course, if possible, she also hopes that such a thing will never happen at Chengnan Private High School.

"It's okay, you'll be able to relax and have fun for a while after the entrance exams." Watanabe Yu coughed lightly and then comforted her, "From early March to mid-April, you can play as much as you want for over a month."

After he finished speaking, the car fell into a brief silence.

No one spoke, and no one made a sound.

Ryoko Hamabe and Yu Watanabe remained silent in the back seat, while the driver in the driver's seat focused intently on driving.

About five seconds later, Ryoko Hamabe looked up at him.

"In addition, this year the University of Tokyo has proposed that the exam be held before the unified entrance examination, so one and a half months is just a general statement and it should actually be longer."

After noticing Ryoko's gaze, he raised his eyebrows and met her eyes.

When their eyes met, they clearly saw their own faces reflected in each other's eyes.

"Longer?"

Ryoko Hamabe tilted her head; she couldn't quite understand why he said that.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded.

This can be considered an added benefit for students participating in the independent admission process.

Taking a break is never a bad thing.

This is especially true after the immense pressure of senior year in high school.

But...

For those who ace the test, the real journey might begin after their senior year of high school. Their entire university life will be just like their senior year, filled with nothing but endless test-taking.

"I'm already looking forward to it."

Upon hearing this, Ryoko Hamabe chuckled softly, then read her reply aloud.

During the long vacation after her senior year of high school, she planned to have You take her out for another trip.

She used to feel a little uncomfortable, but after going through this experience, she has fallen in love with the feeling of going out with him.

"Look on the bright side, everyone has to go through this sooner or later, so it's better to go sooner than later."

Watanabe Yu blinked, offering his words of comfort in a tone that was both joking and serious.

It was essentially a repetition of what she had said before.

Ryoko has always been the kind of person who believes that "it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

In other words, she's complaining now just to get some comfort. She knows perfectly well what the difference is between what she wants and what she needs to do.

Both she and Ayana were quite lucid.

Even more sober than him.

"What you said is as good as nothing at all."

Ryoko Hamabe rolled her eyes coquettishly.

This person is good at everything and learns everything quickly, except when it comes to saying nice things and comforting people. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, it's always just absurd.

Their performance is also extremely inconsistent; sometimes it melts your heart, and other times it causes your blood pressure to spike.

Although she knew he didn't mean it, she couldn't help but chuckle when she thought about it.

"Aha."

Watanabe Yu chuckled awkwardly. Nothing he said would be appropriate at this moment; the only suitable response was a laugh.

Pretending to be stupid, anyone can do that!

"I can't be bothered to talk to you." Hamabe Ryoko rolled her eyes at him helplessly, then quickly brought up a new topic, "Are you sure you can get things done with Yuki in one day?"

She's quite interested in his new song.

After all, every song he wrote was very good, and she liked them all.

the most important is!

There are only two days left of the holiday.

I'm home today, recording songs tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the last day.

“Sure, why not?” Watanabe Yu became excited when this was mentioned. “Yuki and I work together very well. Even if we can’t finish recording, recording half of it is no problem.”

He had already thought this through and planned it out; there wouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, he also commissioned Yuki to prepare the accompaniment demo last night.

Tomorrow he'll go straight to the recording studio to get into the zone, and then we can start recording immediately.

However, even if problems arise, he and Yuki are capable of quickly making amends.

As for those so-called particularly big problems, they were not within his consideration.

The reason...

You can't expect someone who has put in the effort and sweat, and who carries the weight of the system, to make mistakes on such basic issues, can you?

That means you can't make a mistake no matter how tired you are.

After all, no matter how tired you are, you can't forget how to hold chopsticks, right?

"That's good." Ryoko Hamabe nodded in relief, then suddenly asked, "So when are you going on a date with Yuki?"

Although Aunt Naoko repeatedly emphasized that those things were not allowed to be done before graduating from high school, Yuki did not say that.

Yuki has brought it up countless times, and they have helped countless times before, but without success. This time, they will have to arrange it slowly.

In Ayana's words, don't give someone room to 'bargain'.

However, the most important thing is not to give someone time to 'think'; just use a direct approach to resolve indecisiveness.

However, both she and Ayana knew perfectly well that while the method had been taught, how to actually implement it and handle the situation ultimately depended on Yuki herself.

If Yuki herself doesn't live up to expectations, there's nothing they can do.

Only by doing this can Ji Zaiyou's position in her heart be upgraded, and at the same time, it will prevent Aunt Shangzi from having so many thoughts.

—The latter had considered sending Yuki abroad.

Even though the person involved later said she wouldn't do that, unfortunately, she didn't believe it.

Many things can only be done once or countless times. As for the so-called painful lesson learned and repentance, that requires going through excruciating pain first.

"Well..." Watanabe Yu thought for a moment, "I'll find some time after school starts."

He wasn't quite sure why Ryoko had suddenly brought this up.

But it didn't really matter; since she brought it up, he just went along with it.

"Why not now?"

Ryoko Hamabe dislikes procrastination.

She doesn't like to put things off until tomorrow or the day after; it makes her feel uneasy, like there's something stuck in her throat that she hasn't finished.

"Because I have to record a song tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the last day, I want to stay at home." Watanabe Yu spread his hands. "Yuki will be coming over then too."

Yuki has already told him about this, and he has agreed.

"……All right."

Upon hearing this, Ryoko Hamabe nodded.

Yuki does indeed have the habit he mentioned.

The former will find a place to slack off like a cat on the day before school starts or the last day of the holiday.

Can I say that I've managed to steal half a day of leisure from my busy life?
Ah.

Who knows.

She chuckled inwardly, then raised her eyebrows and looked at him solemnly.

"But don't just agree verbally, you have to do it, you hear me!"

Ryoko Hamabe believes that Yu is not that kind of person.

But she felt she had to emphasize it again.

After all, nothing is more reassuring than having someone admit it or promise it personally.

Who can blame him for always keeping his word and fulfilling his promises?

That's why Ayana and she trust him so much, because when he takes responsibility and protects them, it really makes them feel safe!
"Yes, I will."

Watanabe Yu glanced at her with some suspicion. He felt that something was off about her. Before, he was just suspicious, but now he felt that something was very wrong.

There's no need to make such a big deal out of this, is there?
unless……

Ryoko felt guilty!
Thinking of this, his expression became complicated.

"That's no problem."

Upon hearing this, Ryoko Hamabe nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something else.

"Yuki, could it be that she didn't do her homework for the past ten days?"

Their class doesn't have homework.

But based on her own experience, there was homework during the two-week break in her second year of high school, even though it was only for five days.

However, quite a few people who don't do their homework end up copying their classmates' assignments when it's time to do it.

She saw a lot of that last year.

"I don't know about that."

Watanabe Yu shrugged, looking slightly helpless.

How could he possibly ask Yuki such a question?

Besides, even if he knew this, he couldn't possibly say it in front of Ryoko. Otherwise, given Ryoko's cunning nature, she might bring it up to tease Yuki someday.

Yuki is also easily embarrassed, so he'll definitely be the one who gets hurt in the end.

"Then let me ask."

Ryoko Hamabe took out her phone with some concern.

This assignment is one aspect, but it also has another side effect.

If Yuki doesn't finish this, then on the last day of the holiday, even if she and Ayana wanted to, they wouldn't be able to create a chance for her to be alone at home.

—But that doesn’t seem like a bad thing?

If that's the case, wouldn't the Holy Maiden have a chance to be alone with him?

This……

With mixed feelings, she opened LINE, found Yuki's profile picture, typed out her doubts, and then clicked send.

If Yuki hasn't done her homework, then let's give the last day to Ayana.

She thought so.
