Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 100 Let me accompany you, okay?
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun became hotter.

The pervasive heat of summer once again swept across the entire city. The hot air raised the surface temperature sharply, and the chirping of summer cicadas became louder and louder.

The once bustling residential area suddenly became deserted.

Under the midsummer sun, only a few pedestrians holding umbrellas can be seen on the street. The occasional passing vehicles are mostly with air conditioners turned on, windows closed, tires rolling over the ground, and exhaust vents bringing out waves of heat.

"From the beginning of June till now, it seems that there has only been one power outage, right?"

Ryoko Hamabe lay on the small square table, turned her head to the side, and counted the scratches on the wall out of boredom.

The scene on the wall was reflected in those brown pupils.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

“This is much better than last year.”

Ryoko Hamabe pursed her lips, and a hint of emotion appeared on her fair little face.

During this period last year, there were power outages every four to five days. In July, when the temperature is the highest, power and water outages were commonplace, lasting two or three days, or three or four days, all depending on the mood of Yaleju's old lines.

If you are in a good mood, it can remain stable, but if you are in a bad mood, the frequency of power outages will increase suddenly.

"indeed."

“I hope this stability can be maintained.”

Hamabe Ryoko whispered.

In such a hot summer, it would be unbearable if there was no air conditioning, but it would be unbearable if there was not even an electric fan.

"uh-huh."

"By the way, You, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head and looked at Watanabe Yu.

In the past, she never looked forward to what to eat in the evening. After all, it was always the same two or three dishes. But now, after eating with him, she looked forward to dinner every day more and more.

She really enjoyed seeing him try her cooking and look in awe.

That really encouraged her.

"What's left in the fridge?"

Watanabe Yu, who was sitting on the futon, turned his head and met Hamabe Ryoko's gaze.

She had just taken a shower and her hair was still a little fluffy.

"If I remember correctly, there should be...ha, only one piece of pork left."

Ryoko Hamabe covered her mouth and couldn't help yawning.

Listening to the rustling sound of the electric fan blades turning above my head, the afternoon drowsiness suddenly came over me.

"But there are a lot of fruits."

She added with a helpless smile.

Unlike most traditional families, the Watanabe family always has enough fruit in their small refrigerator. For example, when lychees are in season, he buys several boxes and keeps them at home.

"Then let's go out for dinner tonight?"

Watanabe Yu turned on his laptop.

He planned to write some more of his new book before dinner.

“…Yeah, that’s fine.”

There was a hint of laziness in Hamabe Ryoko's voice.

Maybe it was because she had just taken a shower, or maybe it was because the wind brought by the fan blades had "warmth", but at the moment, her eyelids could not stop fighting, and she was getting more and more sleepy.

"It's just right that you're on vacation, so let's go out for a nice meal tonight."

Watanabe Yuu took the opportunity to say this.

Ryoko Hamabe has indeed had a hard time during this period.

His original plan and intention was just for everyone to have dinner together, but she insisted on taking care of the lunch boxes for the next day. If he had not been firm in his refusal, she would have even made breakfast for them.

“…Um, no.”

There was a hint of nasality in Hamabe Ryoko's voice.

"Just something normal is fine. Don't spend too much. Let's save some money, okay?"

Her voice was soft.

If she was treating him to a meal, she would definitely not say such a thing. As long as it was something he wanted to try, she would find a way to treat him to it.

But if he was the one treating, she didn't want him to spend too much money. "It's just a meal, it's not a big deal."

Watanabe Yu clicked on the document, slid the mouse, and dragged the document page to the last editing location.

"This is just a reward for you and me who have worked hard for a while. It is a reward for you as well as for me."

Before the time travel, during the most difficult period after graduation, he would always go out for a good meal every time he got his salary.

The more adverse the situation and the more difficult it is, the more people need to give themselves comfort and encouragement.

Sometimes, a hearty meal can give people the courage to move forward.

"That……"

"Ryoko, do you know why people make money?"

Yu Watanabe interrupted Hamabe Ryoko.

"…to live a better life?"

Hamabe Ryoko thought about it for a moment and gave an answer that was in line with her heart.

This has always been her idea, and it is also the driving force that has kept her moving forward.

The reason why she studied so hard was that she wanted to be admitted to the University of Tokyo.

In this way, after graduating from university, she will be able to get a good job with a decent salary to support her and her grandmother, allowing her grandmother, who has worked hard for most of her life, to relax and take a breath without any rush.

She didn't want to be pushed into a corner by life anymore.

"Yes." Watanabe Yu nodded slightly, "So, don't think of 'wasting money', okay?"

He began to persuade her step by step.

Sometimes, Ryoko Hamabe is really too frugal.

It’s not that such saving is bad, but when people get used to rejecting themselves, they tend to develop a timid mentality when faced with new things they have never tried, and they will feel at a loss and uneasy.

"……Um."

Hamabe Ryoko responded.

"Besides, this is just the beginning for you in the future." Watanabe Yu made a small joke, "I am still waiting for President Hamabe, who will be successful in the future, to help me when I am in trouble."

"…I don't want you to encounter difficulties. I hope everything goes well for you."

Hamabe Ryoko was silent for a moment and then said this.

She didn't want to see her boy overwhelmed by life.

"Thank you."

Watanabe Yu thanked him sincerely.

"But, you really don't want to take a nap?"

He could see that she seemed very sleepy at the moment.

"Where's Yuu?"

Hamabe Ryoko raised her eyes and looked at him.

"I'll work a little longer."

Watanabe Yu moved the laptop over and motioned for the other person to look at the flashing cursor in the document.

Now that the aftertaste is still there, we still have to go work.

Besides, he wasn't sleepy at the moment.

"I will feel guilty if you do this."

Hamabe Ryoko made a little joke and then propped herself up.

"You work while I rest. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."

She met Watanabe Yu's gaze.

She knew she couldn't help him, but she still wanted to do something.

At least, he shouldn't feel alone.

"So, just let me stay with you like this, okay?"

She blinked, and his profile was reflected in her sparkling eyes.
