Chapter 379 Confession [4K1]

To be honest, compared to Ryoko and Yuki, Miss Saint is indeed much more eloquent.

From the moment she put down the tea and sat down next to Watanabe Yu, to the moment the group left home and headed for the banquet, the topic never stopped, and there was no trace of awkwardness, embarrassment or unnaturalness.

“By the way, do you still remember Uncle Nobuo’s daughter?”

While waiting for the traffic light, Genichirō Watanabe in the driver’s seat took the initiative to start a conversation.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror in the car.

“Well, I have a vague impression.”

Watanabe Yu tried hard to recall, but still couldn’t figure it out.

“Something more specific.”

Watanabe Genichirō withdrew his gaze and placed his hands on the steering wheel in a relaxed manner.

Once upon a time, he drove an old car like this and took You and Qiuhui out for a trip. At that time, he was full of energy and wanted to do his best to give them a good life.

Now, he doesn’t have so many random thoughts.

I just want to see that brat get married and give him grandchildren.

In this way, he became the first among that circle of friends to become a grandfather.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can show off for at least two years.

“…”

Amemiya Ayana, who was listening in, frowned unconsciously.

Her sixth sense was sounding the alarm.

In the movies and TV shows she had seen, such an opening line often represented a rekindled relationship, such as a child marriage.

But soon, she realized that she was thinking too much.

Given my uncle’s personality, it is impossible for him to mention such past events in front of me. Or, even if there were such past events that needed to be mentioned, he would avoid me and tell You quietly.

“A silly little carrot head?”

Watanabe Yuu truthfully described the scene in his mind.

“That’s right.” Watanabe Genichirō nodded, then raised his eyebrows and teased his son with a malicious look, “I thought you didn’t remember anything at all.”

When they were young, You often went to Shingo’s house to eat free meals, and Shingo’s daughter also often came to their house to eat free meals.

At that time, he really thought about whether to strengthen the relationship between the two families. After all, the relationship between the two families was already good. But after thinking it over again and again, he gave up this idea.

There is a saying that goes, “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” There is no need to impose your own expectations on your children.

Otherwise, they will be in trouble on both sides.

“My memory isn’t that bad.”

Watanabe Yu rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Lao Deng’s words sounded as if he was an ungrateful person.

“I’m not a little kid anymore.”

Watanabe Genichirō smiled and shook his head, restarted the car, and continued driving forward.

“It’s been almost ten years, it would be strange if he was still a little kid!”

Watanabe Yu couldn’t help but complain, then silently took the hand of the Saint Lady.

After more than a year of “training”, he has fully understood when girls will be jealous.

At times like this, you must comfort the other person.

It’s the same even if this person is the Saint Lady.

The fact that she can accept Yuki and Ryoko doesn’t mean she won’t be jealous of the latter two. Similarly, she will definitely be jealous at times like this.

“That’s true, at least I’ve seen it before.” Watanabe Genichirō paused, “It grows halfway, then stops growing and stops growing.

“Let’s get back to the point. Others will be high school students next year, and the little kid in your memory has grown into a big girl.

“He must be 1.61m or 1.62m tall now? Anyway, he’s pretty tall.

“I mean, don’t make a mistake when the time comes.”

He hadn’t thought about that aspect.

I just said this in a joking manner, and, as he said, this brat shouldn’t mistake me for the wrong person when the time comes.

As for whether Shingo has that intention, the probability is that he doesn’t.

Because he had already explained the matter to him clearly on the phone.

They also reached a consensus.

“Don’t worry, there’s no way I could be wrong.”

The corners of Watanabe Yu’s mouth twitched unconsciously.

It would be really strange if he could still admit his mistake when his father would definitely introduce him.

“Then I have finished what I want to say~”

Genichirō Watanabe slowed down the car and looked at the road bathed in the scorching sun.

The moving cars were reflected in those brown eyes.

Compared to small cities like Okinawa, rush hour in big cities does come earlier and is more turbulent.

The current road conditions are already the highest during peak hours in Okinawa.

But in Tokyo, this is just approaching peak time, not even the beginning of peak time.

“By the way, you can communicate more with Uncle Shingo.”

Watanabe Akiie, who was sitting in the passenger seat and listening, joined in the conversation.

Shingo Hanyu’s position is just right for taking care of Yu’s career.

“Ah.”

Watanabe Yu nodded slightly.

He is not three or two years old, so he naturally understands what his mother means.

It’s just that he felt that there was no need to think so much and normal communication would be enough.

The other party is not a fool. If you are too enthusiastic, people will dislike you and even think you are a snob.

Of course, this evaluation is still a bit too sharp. Given the relationship between Dad and Uncle Hanyu, the latter would probably just feel that he is too precocious.

I can’t say I hate it, but I certainly can’t say I like it either.

“And then there’s this other thing!”

Originally, Watanabe Akie didn’t want to mention this, but considering that someone had a criminal record, she decided to mention it.

Even Genichirō said that Yuu has changed a lot compared to before.

But it’s always better to be prepared.

“You said.”

Watanabe Yu looked at his mother with some confusion, then nodded.

“You didn’t even say hello. After chatting for a few words, you just went and stood in a corner of the dinner party!”

Watanabe Akiie rubbed her nose and said this with some tiredness.

“Of course not.”

Watanabe Yu gave the answer without thinking.

Even if he wanted to do this, Ayana probably wouldn’t agree, not to mention that he had never thought of doing this in the first place.

——However, getting some fruit to eat during the trip should not be considered as slacking off.

“Then I have nothing to say.”

After hearing her son’s answer, Watanabe Akiie breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and rested.

At a social dinner like this, they certainly wouldn’t just chat with Shingo’s family, there would definitely be other people, and they could also take this opportunity to expand their network. *
Watanabe house, in the living room.

“They’re gone.”

Looking at the empty living room, Hamabe Ryoko pursed her lips and sat down on the sofa with some frustration.

“It seems so.”

Yuki Hayakawa patted her shoulder gently and sat down next to her.

“I don’t think there’s any need to feel regretful. On the contrary, it’s a good thing.” She paused and spoke of her thoughts, “Our school’s final exams just ended today, and we’re already exhausted enough.

“Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for me to show off in front of my uncle.

“What I mean is that I’m afraid I’ll be very exhausted mentally, and if I force myself to come out, it’ll probably backfire.

“So instead of forcing it, it’s better to take a good rest for a day, don’t think about anything today, just do what you need to do, save time for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and after you have rested well, you can meet them in the best condition.

“This is the approach that is least likely to go wrong.

“It’s also the safest approach.”

Of course, she had her own little thoughts behind what she said.

Putting aside Ayana, who has already met her uncle, she doesn’t want to be the only one left behind in this matter.

Therefore, he had to trick Ryoko into coming to his side.

Otherwise, when she is the only one left to say hello, she will definitely be very nervous.

She had finally gotten over her nervousness and had prepared herself mentally. She didn’t want to let her mood fluctuate again so quickly.

“……Um.”

Hamabe Ryoko was silent for a moment, then nodded.

What Yuki said does make sense.

There was no point in her rushing to say hello, and it would only make her look less “decent”.

Although she is not the kind of person who cares too much about her image in the eyes of others, the person in front of her is You’s father, and she can’t help but care.

“So, instead of talking about these things, why not talk about something else?” Hayakawa Yuki coughed lightly, “For example, how did you do in the final exam?”

Honestly speaking, with the help of Ayana, Ryoko, and Yuu, she felt that her grades had improved dramatically during the final exam period.

In the coming summer vacation, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to smoothly get the “pass” given by her mother.

“Just do your best.” Hamabe Ryoko thought for a moment and added, “In terms of difficulty, this semester’s final exam is easier than last semester’s, and there will be more basic questions.

“Personally, I feel that this semester’s final exam is more about giving everyone confidence.

“Let everyone prepare for the upcoming national unified examination.

“Although some schools do not recognize the results of the unified examination, the vast majority of other colleges and universities do recognize it.”

When she said this, she couldn’t help but spread her hands.

Strictly speaking, she hasn’t decided what major to choose in college yet.

“You said that.”

Yuki Hayakawa glared at her angrily and clenched her fists.

The true face of a stinky academic bully is revealed without a doubt!
The only thing missing is “This year’s final exam was quite interesting.”

“I’m just telling the truth…” Hamabe Ryoko paused, “Besides, after this final sprint, your grades won’t be that bad, right?”

Judging from the level Yuki displayed at the end of the study session, if she performed normally, she would easily be in the top 15 of the class in the final exam.

“That depends on who you’re competing against.”

Yuki Hayakawa raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone.

Her grades weren’t actually that bad, but compared to those people at home, they were indeed far behind.

Whether it’s Ayana, Ryoko, or You, every one of them is a top student, and their grades are among the best in the class and grade.

Compared with them, her results are really not ideal.

“If you work hard for a semester, it shouldn’t be difficult to get into the top five in the grade.” Hamabe Ryoko commented honestly, “You are gifted in studying.

“My feelings are particularly evident during this period of study.

“The math that seems to give you a headache is actually not because you don’t know how to do it, but because you just lack the relevant thinking skills. You only need someone to explain it to you once, and then you will be able to solve related questions no matter how they change.

“Frankly speaking, this ability is amazing.”

In other words, as long as Yuki can practice enough questions, he will definitely be among the top three in the grade.

It was this ‘enough’ question. Just by thinking about it, she knew that Yuki would most likely not be able to do it.

Firstly, Yuki, the person involved, does not have such a strong obsession, and secondly, he does not have that much time.

Yuki not only has to balance studies, but also music.

In order to attend the study session during this period, Yuki reduced the time she spent practicing music every day.

Otherwise, let alone having full study time every day, even if the study time is reduced by half, it would be difficult enough.

“You mean to say that although I don’t have the kind of mathematical thinking that can figure things out instantly, stupid people have their own ways of doing things. If I can solve the same type of problem once, the rest will be pretty much the same, right?”

Yuki Hayakawa understood the hidden meaning behind Ryoko’s words.

I’m sorry she doesn’t have a mathematical mind.

But she really didn’t know, could she really understand those questions consisting of numbers and letters at once?

She remembered it particularly clearly that during a study session, she had a math problem that she really didn’t understand, so she asked Ayana for help. Ayana told her to read the questions more.

She did so.

Then ask Ayana, what should I do next?

The Saint Lady looked at her in surprise and said, “Just read the question once and you’ll know the answer, right?”
Without any hesitation, she glared at the former indignantly and turned to ask Ryoko.

The latter explained the problem to her clearly, but when he mentioned other questions by analogy, she was silenced.

She also once again deeply realized how big the gap is between ordinary students and academic masters.

No.

To be precise, he is a genius!

“I didn’t say that, you said that yourself.”

Hamabe Ryoko looked away feeling somewhat guilty.

“Tsk.”

Seeing her expression, Hayakawa Yuki couldn’t help but smacking her lips.

“Strictly speaking, you are already very good.” Hamabe Ryoko thought for a moment and added, “At least among the people I have seen, there are only a handful who are better than you, and there are a lot of people who are not as good as you.”

It’s just that I can’t compare with the top ones.

Compared to the others, it is more than enough.

“I took it seriously.”

Yuki Hayakawa turned her head away, her expression didn’t change much, but her mood was much better.

“Ryoko!”

Suddenly, she called out “Hamabe Ryoko”.

“Ok?”

“I want to have steak tonight.”

“it is good.”

Ryoko Hamabe stood up, picked up the used tea set, and went to the kitchen.

It’s almost time now, so it’s just the right time to wash the tea set and start cooking.
