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

Chapter 536 Yuki's Method

During lunch break, on the outdoor playground.

"So what happened this morning?"

As the young lady sat under the shade of a tree, she opened her lunchbox and naturally started a conversation.

Actually, she wanted to ask when Mr. Troll returned to the classroom, but she didn't find a suitable opportunity until lunch break.

"Risa asked me some personal questions."

Watanabe Yu skillfully unscrewed the cap of the soda bottle, then handed it to Yuki, who was staring at him expectantly. He then unscrewed another bottle of juice and handed it to the saintess.

After the latter took the juice, he opened his own bottle of oolong tea and took a sip.

"By the way, the cafeteria is really outrageous. It's winter, and they still sell ice cream and cold drinks. I just bought oolong tea, and the first time they handed it to me, it was iced. I had to tell them I wanted it at room temperature before they would change it for me."

As a southerner, he really doesn't understand the joy of eating cold drinks in winter. You could say that it's one thing to dress lightly in winter, but to add cold drinks on top of that is like having a naturally pure yang body, which would make you wilted.

“I don’t actually drink cold drinks that much.” Hayakawa Yuki took a sip of soda with a happy expression, and then explained, “That auntie probably mistook you for someone who buys cold drinks regularly.”

When she went to buy water, the friendly lady never gave her any cold drinks; it was always room temperature. If she bought milk, the lady would ask her if she wanted it heated up.

Of course, I won't charge extra.

“People who drink cold drinks and eat ice cream in winter are probably healthier.” Ayana Amamiya didn’t rush to drink her juice. She put it aside and picked up her chopsticks. “So, is it a personal matter?”

She was more interested in Risa's story than Mr. Troll's complaints.

It's worth noting that Risa always keeps her work and personal life very separate, and it's rare to see her call Yu over for personal matters.

"Her family is pressuring her to get married."

Watanabe Yu screwed the cap on the bottle, put the water aside, and then opened his bento box.

Although there are other students on the playground, they are all sitting quite far apart, so there is no need to deliberately lower your voice.

"Prescribing for marriage??"

Upon hearing this, Ayana Amamiya paused slightly in her action of picking up the fried chicken nuggets, and the chicken nuggets slipped off her chopsticks. If she hadn't caught them quickly with her lunchbox, the chicken nuggets would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Hmm." Watanabe Yu nodded, picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and put it in his mouth. "It's just that Risa's father and mother broke their promise and started trying to pressure her. Although Risa didn't go into details, I suspect it's because..."

He didn't finish his sentence, not because he was deliberately keeping it a secret, but because he felt there was no need to be so blunt.

Those ten sentences, interspersed with three or four urging-to-get-married remarks, are sure to make you feel exhausted.

"Has Risa-nee never been in a relationship before?"

The young lady tilted her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

This older sister, who usually takes good care of them, seems to be ridiculously simple when it comes to her love life; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's a complete blank slate.

but……

You must have had at least one or two relationships, right?
After all, Risa isn't ugly, and her personality is easy to get along with. Although she doesn't flaunt her family background, anyone who has seen a bit of the world should be able to tell that her family is well-off.

In Yu's words, Risa is a standard rich, beautiful, and successful woman; such a girl is definitely in high demand.

"There was only one unrequited love that ended without a trace."

Speaking of this, Watanabe Yu couldn't help but chuckle. He only found out about it a long time ago when Risa let it slip.

"Talk about it."

Ayana Amamiya leaned forward slightly towards him.

At the same time, Yuki, who was engrossed in her meal, also looked in his direction and pricked up her ears.

She wasn't interested in the serious matters they were discussing, but she was absolutely fascinated by their gossip!

"When she was in the second year of junior high school, she had a crush on a boy in her class. But she later found out that the boy was unhygienic and had a bit of a playboy tendency, so her dream was shattered."

Watanabe Yu put the bento box back on his lap, then shrugged helplessly.

In a sense, Risa's unrequited love really has a standard ending.

It was fortunate that her family didn't object, otherwise this unrequited love probably wouldn't have ended so quickly.

"And then it never happened again?"

Ayana Amamiya then asked.

To be honest, she was a little surprised.

Firstly, Risa's qualities are undeniable, and to be fair, quite a few people probably like her. Secondly, although Risa seems carefree, she is actually someone who is quite afraid of being alone.

Such people will choose to find a partner for mutual support and comfort.

"No, she said there were no more that she liked."

Watanabe Yu shook his head and picked up his bento box again to eat.

“Well…” Ayana Amamiya looked troubled. “It’s not unreasonable for her family to urge her to get married.”

Presumably, in her parents' eyes, Risa was an innocent girl, just a little bit eccentric.

Little girls like this need someone to protect them.

After all, they can't take care of Risa forever.

So... naturally, they would urge them to get married.

"In their eyes, Risa might just be a big kid."

Hayakawa Yuki nodded and gave a summary.

Of all the teachers, Risa was the one she felt least pressured with in private. When she met other teachers, she would subconsciously tense up.

“That’s not important.” Watanabe Yu sighed, looking at the delicious-looking dishes in the bento box, his appetite unusually poor. “What’s important is that she asked me to find a way to persuade her parents.”

The previous incident with Jiang Tianqian was one thing, since she was at least the same age, or more accurately, a younger sister. It was relatively easier to persuade her. But how do you persuade a middle-aged person who is older than his parents?

These kinds of people can be fooled by TV shopping programs, by door-to-door sales, and even by some health products, but they would never be fooled by their peers who are younger than them.

Especially since this "being" also involves their children.

Just thinking about the difficulty filled him with fear.

But Risa didn't give him a chance to refuse. She took advantage of his misfortune, unilaterally finalized the deal, and then ran away.

In a sense, this kind of behavior is really thuggish and unreasonable!
"Why don't we just push it down?"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa Yuki blurted out those words without even thinking.

Household chores are the most difficult things to handle, let alone the kind of household chores that you get caught up in once you get involved.

Even though Yu's family and Anhara's family have a cooperative relationship and their relationship is relatively close, this is a different matter. If you are not a direct relative, don't meddle. Otherwise, you might end up pleasing neither side if something goes wrong.

"I would like to, but it seems she didn't give me the chance."

Watanabe Yu sighed.

On the other hand, given his relationship with Risa, he couldn't refuse, since she had already said so.

“Not giving you a chance doesn’t mean you can’t refuse. Asking for help is a two-way street.” Hayakawa Yuki paused, unusually insisting on her opinion, “She can’t just say that without asking if you’ll help or not, and then assume you’ve agreed, can she?”

That's impossible! Even if it were true, everyone would think it didn't make sense.

"Yu means he can't refuse."

Ayana Amamiya put down her chopsticks and rubbed her temples.

In a sense, Yuki is indeed very naive, so naive that even now, she hasn't understood what Yu meant.

However, on the other hand, she shared the same thought as Yuki: it's best not to get involved in such troublesome matters.

This might seem a bit cold-hearted, or even ungrateful, but this kind of thing is not something outsiders can interfere with. Putting aside what will happen after you get involved, just to put it bluntly, what kind of person are you to meddle in other people's family affairs?
Are you Risa's boyfriend, or what?
Things that are not properly named or justified are difficult to approach from the start.

"Then how..."

Hayakawa Yuki subconsciously glanced at Watanabe Yu, but after seeing his affirmative expression, she swallowed the rest of her words.

This time it seems she really didn't understand him enough.

“I can’t refuse her request, both emotionally and logically.” Watanabe Yu thought for a moment and then said it directly, “So, let’s brainstorm and think about how to persuade her.”

As the saying goes, "Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang." Although the original saying is "general" instead of "cobbler," the pronunciation is the same, so it's okay to pretend to copy it.

What if?
Right.

"I can't think of a way to break the deadlock."

Hayakawa Yuki lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

This matter is different from hers. In her case, You came as her boyfriend, which was appropriate both emotionally and logically.

Karisa is different. To put it more intimately, Yu is at most a younger brother with whom you have some fun and direct financial ties.

To put it more simply, at most he's a godson.

Can a godson interfere in other people's family affairs?
It seems like it's barely possible, but it's only barely possible.

Judging from the attitude of Risa's parents, the word "reluctantly" here probably doesn't mean much.

In layman's terms, he's not qualified yet.

"Making excuses or reasons probably won't work."

Ayana Amamiya looked at Yu Watanabe, a hint of relief appearing on her face.

Although she still had no ideas, that didn't stop her from comforting him.

She saw it clearly.

There's always a solution; let's discuss it, and maybe we'll come up with one.

"Then confess?" Hayakawa Yuki gave her a strange look, then revealed her thoughts, "But I doubt it, because knowing Risa's personality, she's definitely already told her family, but the result..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

Risa has already been forced to come and find Yu.

That means it's either ineffective or didn't work at all.

Using the old tricks now would probably not work, and might even have the opposite effect.

"Pretend to be my boyfriend?"

The saintess has presented another classic option.

"They're not stupid."

Hayakawa Yuki rolled her eyes.

How come the once incredibly clever young lady suddenly becomes a fool when faced with this kind of question? Someone who has refused her family's countless attempts to get her married suddenly says she has a boyfriend. Isn't this just a joke?

Anyone with a normal IQ would know that this is definitely fake.

"Then what to do."

Ayana Amamiya pouted helplessly and looked at her as if asking for help.

"Invite them out for a meal?" Hayakawa Yuki paused, then began to think seriously. "Ideally, we should cook ourselves, and then chat while we cook. The most important thing is to figure out their attitude first."

"If the conversation goes well, we can talk about it during dinner later."

"However, it is still troublesome because when dealing with them, they are elders and You is a junior, so you need to be especially careful about what you say."

"Even if you do your best and really convince them, or make them temporarily back down, the root of the problem is still not solved."

"Because in the eyes of the older generation, marriage and having children are necessary and are the main tasks of life."

"Of course, most importantly, they want to see their bloodline passed down."

That's what her grandmother told her.

Grandma said that seeing her reminded her of her mother when she was a child, and she wanted to make amends to her mother for the impulsive things she had done that hurt her mother in the past.

This is why my mother always says that my grandmother spoils her.

"That's a good idea."

Ayana Amamiya nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with her.

She said that as long as you talk to her, there's always a way.

Isn't that the solution?
"But what if it doesn't work?"

She changed the subject and asked that question.

“It’s perfectly normal that it didn’t work. Do you expect to convince your parents in one or two tries?” Hayakawa Yuki waved her hand, giving her a look that said, “What nonsense are you talking about?” “If it doesn’t work once, try twice. The goal is to get along well.”

With the foundation laid the first time, subsequent attempts to persuade others will be much less awkward.

And to be honest, she felt that the word 'persuasion' was not a good word.

Because one person can never persuade another, but can get one person to agree with the same idea.

and so……

It all depends on how Yu handles it.

“I don’t think there’s any need to rush. We can take it slow.” Watanabe paused. “Besides, we already have a method. I think the method Yuki mentioned works particularly well. We shouldn’t make the first ‘meeting’ so purposeful.”

"Getting to know each other and sounding out each other is the most important thing."

"Of course, it would be best if we could get them to agree with some of the viewpoints."

There is no other way.

He couldn't refuse Risa's request for help.

His intuition also told him that if he used Yuki's method, it might actually work.

Even if it doesn't work out, it's still a good start.

If a problem can't be solved right away, then take it slowly. As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually be able to solve it.
