Chapter 372 ‘Unstable Factors’ [4K1]

“How did you catch the thermos cup in the afternoon?”

After school, Amamiya Ayana, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn’t bear it anymore and asked this question with a curious look on her face.

She didn’t even react, she just saw the thermos fall down.

When he came to his senses again, he had already caught it steadily and returned it.

“I noticed it out of the corner of my eye, and then my body reacted automatically.”

Watanabe Yu slowed down his pace and looked at the intersection ahead.

After getting off the car, they walked for a while. According to the distance shown on the map, they should be only a short distance away from the Silver Moon Hotel.

However, one thing did surprise him. Ever since he and Ayana walked home together that time, she liked walking home more and more.

“Physical fitness can be improved through exercise, but reaction speed is innate.”

The Saint Miss said this meaningfully.

She is not a know-nothing vase, and you can’t fool her with such words.

“Uh-huh, 2.3 seconds for me.”

After determining the direction, Watanabe Yu took the initiative to hold the hand of the Saint Lady and pulled her across the intersection in front of them quickly.

They were pretty lucky today and didn’t have to wait for any traffic lights along the way.

“Uh, huh?”

Amemiya Ayana looked at his profile in confusion.

She didn’t quite understand what his overly jumpy thoughts meant.

“This is a joke from a line in an action movie.”

Watanabe Yu thought about it and began to explain.

“The original line was that it only took a senior sniper 2.5 seconds from spotting the enemy to aiming at the target and pulling the trigger. The protagonist said it took him 2.3 seconds.”

Honestly, this kind of seriousness gives people the feeling of popular science, which is a bit weird.

It immediately lost its original funny meaning.

“So…you mean your reaction speed is naturally that fast?”

Amamiya Ayana nodded, not quite understanding.

“more or less.”

Watanabe Yu squeezed her little hand, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to the center of the road.

Compared with the past, when the traffic peak was around six o’clock, the city roads were not crowded around three o’clock in the afternoon. Even against the backdrop of the wide roads, the traffic seemed a little sparse, just like the top of a middle-aged man’s head.

It’s quite emotional to say, since he became an exchange student, he hasn’t seen Tokyo at three or four in the afternoon for a long time.

Of course, it was three o’clock in the afternoon on a school day.

“Until next Wednesday, the school will end at 3pm every day.”

As if she saw what Watanabe Yu was thinking, the Saint Lady whispered this sentence.

This can be considered as a little preferential treatment from the school to everyone.

Unlike other high schools, China Private Academy becomes less strict as the end of the semester approaches. In the words of Mr. Sugiyama, if you are strict during normal times, you won’t need to rush to catch up at the end of the semester and you will naturally be able to relax.

“In comparison, public schools are indeed much easier.”

Watanabe Yu shook his head, withdrew his gaze, then pulled Ayana to stand in the shade.

The sun is not too strong today, but the surface temperature is not too low to be particularly comfortable. Strictly speaking, it is still a bit hot.

“Many seemingly beautiful things actually have a price tag already secretly set.”

Amemiya Ayana tightened her hand around his.

Whatever you gain, you will inevitably lose. This has been the case since ancient times.

“Isn’t this what I said that day?”

Watanabe Yu looked at her helplessly.

“Don’t be so stingy, I’m just borrowing it. What’s more, I’m applying what I’ve learned!”

Amamiya Ayana gently scratched his palm.

Sometimes she wondered if she wrote down what You said and added a little more to it, she might be able to put together a book of classic quotes from famous people.

After all, what he said is really philosophical.

“……uh-huh.”

Watanabe Yu was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips to indicate that he had taken it seriously.

“But then again, when you were demonstrating in music class, did you feel like humming a new song?”

The Saint Lady stuck out her pink tongue, changed the subject, and brought up this matter separately.

Although his performance at that time was not very obvious, after all, they had lived under the same roof for so long, so they still had some control over the details.

Just like sometimes when she was in a bad mood, even if she didn’t show it, he and Ryoko could feel it.

“Yes.”

Watanabe Yu thought about it and still did not add the word “can be regarded as” before “is”.

There’s no need to hold back when speaking at a time like this.

“Then sing it to me when you get back?”

The Saint Lady blinked.

To be honest, she is not the kind of person who likes to chase stars. For many songs that catch her ears, she just likes the songs and does not pay too much attention to the singers.

But there is only one person who is an exception.

Ever since she knew that someone was Jay, she found that she couldn’t seem to maintain this state of mind anymore.

She would subconsciously pay attention to his reputation online, the comments in the comment section, and would be particularly concerned about the negative comments about him.

Privately, she even joined his fan club with Ryoko
——Although I am not aware that he has a fan club.

“no problem.”

Watanabe Yu nodded.

As long as you don’t mind the song sounding more…down-to-earth.

“Speaking of which, I think we’re here already, right?”

Amemiya Ayana stopped, pulled Watanabe Yu’s hand, and motioned him to look forward.

A hotel that was familiar to the two of them came into their sight.

“Yuu and the others should have finished school by now, right?”

A private high school in the city, with an indoor playground.

Yuki Hayakawa, wearing a uniform sportswear, sat next to Hamabe Ryoko and took the initiative to start a conversation.

Their class and Ryoko’s class have physical education classes together, so they can often chat during physical education class.

However, judging by the way the PE teacher is leading the boys in training today, this time for ‘chatting’ may be extended quite a bit.

“We should be arriving at the agreed party soon.”

Hamabe Ryoko shook her head and corrected Hayakawa Yuki’s statement.

They were already halfway through their physical education class, which meant it was already four o’clock.

According to Ayana, as the end of the semester approaches, the school closing time at China Private Academy will be much earlier. For example, today, school should be over at 3:10.

“That’s great. I want to go too.”

Yuki Hayakawa hugged her legs, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Of course, if possible, she would like to go on stage with him one day.

But as it stands now, that day may come very late.

“You should have said it earlier then.”

Hamabe Ryoko raised her eyebrows and looked at the girls in her class who were playing volleyball. The anxious scene on the court was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

The score between the two sides was very close.

“I told you, I can’t go either, and…” Yuki Hayakawa pursed her red lips, “If I really said that, Ayana would be unhappy.”

She knew that if she said that, with Yu’s personality, he would definitely be willing to take her there, but Ayana would be unhappy accordingly.

“Your statement is a bit…

Hamabe Ryoko withdrew her gaze and teased Yuki.

After spending such a long time together, she knew the other person’s character very well. Just from listening to this sentence, it really had a strong green tea flavor.

“Hehe.” Hayakawa Yuki responded with a fake smile, and then continued to talk about her true thoughts, “But if you put yourself in my shoes, I would also be unhappy.

“Objectively speaking, Ayana did sacrifice a lot.

“If she were a little more selfish…”

She didn’t finish her words, but she believed that Ryoko must understand what she meant.

“So do you want her to be more generous or more selfish?”

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head and looked at the girls playing volleyball again.

A girl with short hair and some nearsightedness, who had taken off her glasses, jumped high and then made a fierce smash.

Bang!
The long-haired girls from another team tried to remedy the situation, but ultimately failed.

In the audience seats on the other side, a burst of exclamations rang out along with this beautiful smash.

“That’s definitely a bit more generous. Although I don’t want to admit it, I really don’t have much confidence in winning against her.”

Yuki Hayakawa turned her head and looked at Hamabe Ryoko’s profile.

Under the white light overhead in the indoor playground, that pretty face seemed inexplicably more lively.

“I thought you were going to say you were sure of victory.”

Hamabe Ryoko chuckled and continued the conversation.

In her opinion, after the training from Aunt Naoko and the contact during this period, Yuki should be more confident and even a little arrogant, but now it seems that she is a little too sober.

“How is that possible?” Hayakawa Yuki said coquettishly, “Having confidence in yourself does not mean being arrogant.”

Besides, the way Ayana used was not the normal way for high school girls to fall in love, okay!

Any boy would be fascinated by that kind of thing and lose his mind.

Relatively speaking, You is considered to have relatively strong resistance.

“So, what did Aunt Naoko talk about with You before?”

Hamabe Ryoko asked this question casually.

She knew You’s personality very well. What he was best at was using the art of language to embellish things that would make everyone worry, and to speak in a way that no one would worry.

Moreover, this person will selectively ‘tell the truth’.

Well, everything he said was true, but the beginning and the end of these truths were not necessarily complete.

“I don’t know more than you do. Mom only said that she talked to him about daily life.” Hayakawa Yuki pursed her lips. “Although I don’t believe it, that’s what she said.”

She thinks she knows her mother’s personality very well.

With my mother’s temper, it is impossible for her not to ask questions. But it is also impossible for her to ask questions as soon as she comes, or even to put pressure on others by acting like an elder.

In other words, it was most likely true that they were chatting about family matters and daily life, but apart from that, my mother must have asked some other questions in a roundabout way.

For example, the future and so on.

But then again, if she remembered correctly, this was more than the first or second time that her mother and You had discussed their future plans.

She could understand why her mother asked again and again. She just wanted You to think more about it and consider a career in music.

And, she wanted to know if his thoughts had changed.

But the problem is, asking this kind of question actually doesn’t have any effect. The only effect is to make the mother feel more at ease.

But to be honest, peace of mind is actually of no use.

Many things cannot be predicted at the moment. No one knows how far the future is, whether tomorrow will come first or an accident will come first.

“I thought she would tell you the details later.”

There was a hint of regret in Hamabe Ryoko’s voice.

Until now, she was still a little worried about Aunt Shangzi, always fearing that she would do something big secretly.

“There is no need to expect this. She…”

Yuki Hayakawa pursed her lips, the implication of her words was self-evident.

“By the way, what do you think about what I told you before?”

Seeing Yuki’s look, Hamabe Ryoko didn’t dwell on it anymore and instead brought up another matter.

It doesn’t matter if you really don’t know. In the final analysis, it’s just a saying: when enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will build earthen forts.

“You mean the summer vacation schedule?”

Yuki Hayakawa was stunned for half a second, then immediately reacted.

“Yes.”

“It might work?”

To be honest, she wasn’t too sure herself.

“What do you mean it should be okay?”

Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head.

If it can be done, it can be done. If it can’t be done, it can’t be done. If you say it should be possible, then what else could it be if not being stuck in the middle?
“I have to do my mother’s work.”

Yuki Hayakawa’s explanation is concise and to the point.

“That……”

Hamabe Ryoko showed a bit of difficulty on her face.

It would make sense if Yuki went to Kamakura with her friends to stay for ten days or half a month for a vacation, but the problem is that she used to live with them.

If you lie, there is a chance of success, but with Aunt Shangzi’s temper, she will definitely make sure again and again.

If the secret is revealed by then, I’m afraid they will be gone forever.

“There is a solution.” Yuki Hayakawa paused, “If I perform better in this final exam and do better than last semester, my mother will probably agree.”

She would definitely have a backup plan, like asking someone to check on my condition from time to time.

“I’ll help you.”

Hamabe Ryoko said this without even thinking.

As the top student in the grade, she felt that she was qualified to accomplish this.

Isn’t she just a tutor? Even though Yuki had complained before that she wasn’t very good at teaching, she still had to try a few more times to know if she was good enough.

How can you make a judgment easily without trying it a few times!
“Let You come. I mean, his teaching method might be more suitable for me.”

Yuki Hayakawa said this carefully while paying attention to Hamabe Ryoko’s expression.

She was really afraid that Ryoko would think too much.

But the problem is, she really can’t keep up with Ryoko’s thinking.

This guy who is number one in the grade has such fast thinking in problem solving.

“…Okay, I’ll tell him.”

Although feeling a little disappointed, Hamabe Ryoko still nodded.

Regardless, the ultimate goal was achieved.

Her idea was simple. Since Aunt Shangzi was an unstable factor, she would increase the leverage for the other party to compromise. For example, she could find a suitable opportunity to make the matter a fait accompli!
