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

Chapter 555 Her Class Reunion Incident (Part 3)
"Who is this?"

Looking at the tall figure beside her friend, Asada Orihime, who had just finished looking at a report on her phone while sitting on the sofa, stood up and gave her friend a look that said, "Wow, there's a story here."

To be honest, in terms of appearance, Risa's 'boyfriend' is not bad-looking at all.

He is masculine and handsome, with a great temperament and an indescribable sense of reliability. Moreover, the faint woody scent on him is very pleasant!
It's one of her favorite perfume categories.

So Risa helped him choose this?

A hint of curiosity crept into her teasing eyes.

Others might not know this, but as Risa Yasuhara's close friend, she knows very well that Risa's attitude towards perfume is quite extreme. She only likes two specific categories and won't even smell the rest.

If someone wears a perfume she dislikes, Risa will try to stay as far away from them as possible, within the limits of what's possible.

The perfume that the handsome man in front of her was Risa's favorite, and also her favorite.

The rich woody scent can quickly put people at ease, and if nothing unexpected happens, this perfume should be OUD WOOD's Oud Wood.

It is a unisex fragrance, suitable for both men and women.

"What do you think?"

Risa Yasuhara openly took Yu Watanabe's hand and waved it in front of her friend.

For some reason, I felt a little guilty and embarrassed at this moment.

She hadn't felt this way when she was dealing with the other old classmates.

Perhaps it's because Orihime travels all over the world all year round, doing business with all sorts of people, that I'm afraid she'll see through me?

Thinking this, Risa Yasuhara shook her head inwardly and suppressed her thoughts.

As a member of the Yasuhara family, she knew perfectly well when to worry about what and when not to worry about what.

Don't think about things you can't understand!
This will save you a lot of trouble!
Even if this trouble comes like a raging flood tomorrow, everything is fine today, isn't it?

Just leave the problem to yourself tomorrow.

I'm confident that with my intelligence and resourcefulness, I'll be able to get through tomorrow safely.

Please, tomorrow's me.jpg
"I think?" Asada Orihime pondered the three words, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before lowering her voice to say her opinion, "I think your relationship is quite timely."

Just two or three days ago when they were chatting, she didn't have a boyfriend yet, but today at the class reunion, she suddenly has one.

Anyone who isn't stupid can see what it means at a glance.

However, judging from Risa's attitude towards this handsome guy, their relationship should be quite close.

After all, Risa is someone who is quite resistant to physical contact.

Even though she usually seems very carefree

—In fact, quite the opposite, she knew perfectly well which interactions were acceptable and which were not.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Risa knows all too well which words and actions will be misunderstood. After all, when she was in high school, Risa helped many girls in her class 'reject confessions' and delivered love letters for many of her classmates.

If she were to say those words now, Risa would surely regret it.

After all, that night of eating late-night snacks was very important to them. They both knew what the other had done in the past, the secrets they kept, and some of their dark history.

In a sense, if the two of them were to expose each other, there's a high probability that "no one would survive."

"Isn't that just fate bringing you together? Who can say for sure?"

Meeting her friend's intriguing gaze, even the slow-witted Risa Yasuhara realized that she had probably been exposed.

But she didn't want to be honest at a time like this.

So she chose to continue being stubborn.

"Love is something that comes suddenly and quickly."

She originally wanted to say that love came too fast, like something, but she couldn't think of the right metaphor, so she had to change her wording on the spot and say it like this.

I'll ask the original creator about it later.

she thought.

"You're being too obvious right now. You'd better control your emotions and adjust your expression, otherwise you'll be noticed immediately."

Asada Orihime sighed, whispered a reminder to her friend, and then sat back down on the sofa.

When she was in college, she always thought it would be good to be busy after graduation, so that she could earn more money. Now her thoughts are completely different. She just wants to rest a few more days each month, instead of being so busy that she can't rest even for a day.

Although the money offered was generous, she felt that people weren't machines and needed maintenance.

"How can it be."

Risa Yasuhara rolled her eyes, disagreeing with her friend's statement.

The latter could tell because they communicated frequently, exchanging a few words every now and then. She knew her situation was perfectly normal, and combined with her previous understanding of herself, she could easily guess the truth.

But how could others who don't know you that well possibly guess it?

"You're not being stubborn anymore?"

Asada Orihime smiled slightly and teased someone.

She thought someone would continue to be stubborn.

“You’re so sure, what can I say?” Risa Yasuhara shook her head and pulled Yu Watanabe to sit on the sofa. “How many days do you plan to stay this time?”

Putting aside the issue of getting revenge, this is the problem she is most concerned about.

If she could stay longer this time, they could have a more comfortable reunion.

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow." Asada Orihime took out her phone and glanced at it. After confirming that no one had messaged her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled. "I'm free tomorrow."

If possible, she would like to rest for a longer period of time, but unfortunately, the actual situation does not allow it.

Although her current position isn't particularly high, she's still considered a high-level executive at the front line, and the company needs her in many ways.

Even though there are explicit regulations abroad specifying the maximum number of working hours per week, and that the company will impose fines if the hours are exceeded, she is still actually working.

Furthermore, according to locals, the idea that one should contact the company after a certain number of hours only applies to ordinary office workers and does not apply to senior management of the company.

As a result, her sleep schedule now depends on her workload. During periods of heavy workload, her sleep is very light, and she often has to get up in the middle of the night to handle unexpected work.

"Okay, let's go out for a drive tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Risa Yasuhara's eyes lit up, and she immediately extended an invitation.

They didn't go shopping last year, so it seems like they can make up for it this year.

“Sure.” Asada Orihime nodded, then coughed lightly before changing the subject, “So you haven’t introduced your boyfriend yet.”

She deliberately drew out her words, but thanks to the fact that there weren't many people on their side, she was sure that the others could only understand the gist of it.

"he?"

Risa Yasuhara turned her head and gave Yu Watanabe a look that said, "I'm out of ideas."

It is said that there is a kind of restraint relationship between people, like in the game of Animal Chess, and it is clear that, apart from her family, she has quite a few nemesis.

Almost everyone who can be her friend for a long time is her nemesis. Damn it!
"Watanabe Yu".

Watanabe Yu didn't think too much about it. After giving a brief self-introduction, he extended his hand to Asada Orihime.

"Asada Orihime."

Asada Orihime also said her name and then shook hands with his outstretched hand.

To her surprise, he actually used a loose grip.

"So, what were the conditions Risa offered you?"

After giving him a silent, admiring look, she asked the question in a low voice.

Risa is indeed wealthy, but Watanabe Yu doesn't seem to be the type to lack money either.

At least she had never seen anyone from an ordinary family with his kind of magnanimity.

"..."

Watanabe Yu didn't respond, but silently looked at Yasuhara Risa, giving her a questioning look that seemed to say, "Can I say this?"

Thinking about it carefully, if Risa had suddenly found out about the conditions she had promised him without Asada Orihime's knowledge, it would probably cause quite a bit of trouble.

"I'll tell you myself later."

Risa Yasuhara subtly joined the conversation, then gently patted Orihime Asada's thigh.

This is a unique little 'understanding' between them; whenever one of them has something difficult to say, this action will make them temporarily put 'this matter' aside.

"uh-huh."

Asada Orihime raised her hands, indicating that she was surrendering.

She can wait and find out later; it's just a matter of time.

So how have you been lately?

Risa Yasuhara changed the subject, bringing up a question they always discussed.

"How is it?" Asada Orihime tilted her head back and squinted at the crystal chandelier above her. "What else can it be? It's considered good if I can squeeze out five days of vacation a month. Most of the time it's two days, or even just one day."

In a sense, it truly reflects the old saying: when you finally live the life you initially envisioned, your mood will most likely undergo a dramatic change.

For example, right now she just wants to rest a little longer.

"What about the rest of the time?" Risa Yasuhara asked, her eyes wide and her lips twitching slightly. "You can't be working all the time, can you?"

She hadn't asked about this in detail before, but now that she suddenly inquired, she realized that Orihime seemed busier than she had imagined!

“Yes.” Asada Orihime nodded and recounted her working hours as if they were her own. “I finish negotiating the contract at ten in the morning, and then I have to fly to another country at two in the afternoon. The longest flight I’ve ever taken was 20 hours.”

"Aside from the time spent resting on the plane, the rest of the time is spent responding to customer requests and completing corresponding work logs."

Speaking of this, she felt a sense of helplessness.

While others use the airplane's Wi-Fi to watch videos and binge-watch TV series, she uses it to reply to emails, write work logs, and communicate with colleagues at headquarters.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

"..." Risa Yasuhara was silent for a while before slowly saying, "I originally thought Ikumi's working hours were already very long."

After a closer look, she realized that there was indeed always someone better.

Orihime's working hours are truly at their maximum.

It's fair to say that aside from eating, drinking, and using the restroom, she spends all her remaining time working. Judging from her description, her sleep time is probably even encroached upon when she's busy at work.

"That's nothing." Asada Orihime smiled nonchalantly. If she had Eda Ikumi's working hours, she would be laughing in her sleep. "So, is Ikumi free tomorrow? If so, let's invite her along."

Because of Risa, she also had a decent relationship with Ikumi Eda. Although her relationship with the latter was certainly not as good as that with the former, they could still be considered good friends.

“Her?” Risa Yasuhara sighed. “She’s working overtime. She has a lot of work to do this month. Apparently, a certain politician is going to give a speech on the street to campaign for votes.”

To put it bluntly, those lawmakers are really using the police as tools, dumping all sorts of messy issues on the local police station.

Then it becomes a chain of blame-shifting, until finally, the blame falls precisely on the police in the corresponding jurisdiction.

If the higher-ups have a conscience, they'll send someone to help. If they don't, then the local police have to solve the problem themselves.

"Then she doesn't seem to be doing much better?"

Hearing Risa Yasuhara say that, Orihime Asada's mood suddenly improved.

Compared to that, at least she has two days off, right?
"But she can go home to sleep every day."

Risa Yasuhara glanced at her, and how could she not know what she was thinking? So she said those words.

As she expected, the smug look that Orihime had just been wearing on her face vanished in an instant.

"Tsk."

Asada Orihime clicked her tongue, a hint of jealousy appearing between her brows.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else!"

She gave a disgruntled snort and changed the subject.

It wasn't that she was really angry; it was just that she was afraid that if she continued talking, she would feel a strange sense of relief.

"for example?"

Risa Yasuhara chuckled softly, then gently took Yu Watanabe's hand and carefully placed her fingers between his.

This wasn't a sudden whim of hers; she simply saw that annoying person.

Just then, the woman who was holding her husband's hand and chatting with Nitta Kurei at the door also turned her head.

Their eyes met in the air.

When their eyes met, it was clear to anyone that they were irreconcilable enemies.

then……

The woman saw her hands clasped together.

Tsk.

The woman frowned slightly, then stepped to the side, her gaze falling on Watanabe Yu.

She genuinely didn't believe that Risa Yasuhara could find any handsome men; even if she did, they would be full of flaws.

Having known each other for so many years, even though she and Risa Yasuhara have never gotten along, she understands the latter's personality very well.

Therefore, she must be able to see it...

Wu.

Her expression froze.
