Chapter 11 Retreating to Advance
"Watanabe! All the guys in the group praised you so much yesterday, why didn't you come out and show your face?"

The next day, on the way to school, Kiriyama and Ma, who were leaning on Watanabe Yu's shoulders, sighed with some regret.

It was clearly a perfect opportunity to show off.

As long as Watanabe Yuu shows up, he will definitely attract a lot of attention.

By then, his popularity in the class can only be said to have gone up a level.

But this guy didn't take it seriously and let it go casually.

Not to mention saying a word in the group yesterday, this person didn’t even reply to his private message.

Not even read!

"The phone is out of battery."

Watanabe Yu made up an excuse.

In the situation yesterday, if he said a word in the group, his private chat window would not stop, and the message notification sound would probably continue for an hour.

Even though he hadn't said a word yesterday and chose to play dead silent, there were still more than ten private messages to him.

The questions were all about the subway incident.

Before going to bed, he glanced at the chat page full of red dots. Between replying and pretending not to see it, he chose plan C - continue to play dead.

"I'll take it seriously."

Tongshan Hema rolled his eyes. He was not a child of three or two years old. How could he believe such a lie?

Yesterday at school, Watanabe Yuu didn't even take out his cell phone to play.

As far as the battery life of current mobile phones is concerned, in such "standby" mode, a single charge can easily last for two or three days.

As far as he knows, Watanabe Yu charges his mobile phone every day.

This guy's excuses are really lame!

"Instead of talking about this, why don't we talk about your friend's relationship problems."

Watanabe Yu coughed lightly, his tone becoming a little more mischievous, and he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Uh...him."

Hearing this, Kiriyama Hema's expression immediately became subtle. He took back his hand on Watanabe Yuu's shoulder and sighed with a complicated expression, "He said that he thought about it again and again and decided to give up.

"Just like you said, if he keeps going, he will most likely become the big and small kings in the poker cards."

Watanabe Yu's words had a great impact on him.

In addition, after what happened yesterday, the impression of Watanabe Yu in his heart became even greater. Naturally, the weight of his words also increased.

So, before going to bed, he carefully reviewed the entire communication process between him and the girl.

Then, he suddenly discovered that his dark history in high school suddenly became a new thing.

"It's okay. The Joker has Harley Quinn, but your friend has nothing."

Watanabe Yu patted Kiriyama Kazuma's shoulder and said something to "comfort" him.

"How come you're so good at comforting people? Watanabe-san! But who are the Joker and Harley Quinn?"

Kiriyama and Ma glared at Watanabe Yuu unhappily and slapped his hand off his shoulder.

This guy really knows how to talk.

If he were as good at talking as he is, he would have been beaten five times a week.

"A role in a movie." Watanabe Yu slowed down his pace and put away his teasing expression, "Anyway, if you really fall hopelessly in love with a girl, then my advice is to try to calm down and start as friends.

"Then warn yourself not to over-mythologize her.

"Because she's not actually glowing, it's just your love that's giving her that glow."

As a military advisor, he has a lot of say in this regard.

I've really seen too many Afeis.

"... Can you please stop being so philosophical all of a sudden? Your previous teasing was so nasty!"

Kiriyama and Ma were silent for a while. They complained, but they remembered what Watanabe Yu said in their hearts.

"Telling the truth is bad, isn't it?"

Watanabe Yu asked back.

"What you are talking about is..."

"Good morning, Watanabe-san! Good morning, Kiriyama...-san too."

The street intersection is still the same street intersection as yesterday, and the people are still the same people as yesterday, but the attitude has changed 180 degrees.

Standing at the street corner, Yuki Hayakawa raised her hand and greeted Watanabe Yuu and Kiriyama Wada openly.

"Good morning to you, Hayakawa-san."

Watanabe Yu nodded and simply responded

"morning."

Kiriyama and Ma responded casually, then consciously stepped back a bit, and then sent a look to Watanabe Yuu who was standing beside him, saying "you really deserve to die". Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the energetic "morning" that Hayakawa Yuki said was only for Watanabe Yuu, and as for herself, it was obvious that she should be the one under the car.

So he's handsome, speaks with depth, and has enough fighting skills, which is how he attracts girls, right?

BYD, damn you, Watanabe!
The two-person group going to school became a three-person group, but the lively atmosphere just now became inexplicably silent.

After walking for a while, Tongshan and Ma Hu slapped their heads and said, "Oh, it seems it's my turn to be on duty today! I'll go first." Then they quickened their pace, leaving space for their good brother and his deskmate.

So, after less than two minutes, the three-person team returned to the original two-person team.

"Watanabe-san, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Kiriyama and Ma leave, Hayakawa Yuki, who had been hesitant to speak several times, finally opened up.

"It's okay to say it, but if it's 'thank you' again, forget it."

Yu Watanabe made a little joke.

"Um..." Hayakawa Yuki ignored his teasing and considered her words, "Watanabe-san, can I call you Watanabe?"

"Okay." Watanabe Yu nodded, "In fact, this is the best way."

Anyway, he is not used to the Japanese way of addressing people at all. "Sang" or "Jun" and so on, it sounds very troublesome.

"Um, Watanabe?"

Yuki Hayakawa tilted her little head and called out tentatively.

"That's right!"

Watanabe Yu nodded.

"After my mother learned about what happened yesterday, she hopes to express her gratitude to you in person, Watanabe, and treat you to a meal."

Yuki Hayakawa repeated what her mother meant.

"Is there no need for this?"

Watanabe Yu was instinctively resistant to such occasions.

Firstly, having dinner with his classmates’ parents always made him feel weird, as if he had an indescribable sense of déjà vu.

Secondly, his time is really precious now. The sooner he finishes "Norwegian Wood", the sooner he can solve the economic problems before him.

Having a considerable amount of savings and having only enough savings for one month's living are two completely different concepts.

This is especially true in a place like Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable.

"No, it's necessary!"

Yuki Hayakawa's little face was full of seriousness.

Just like my mother said, in that situation, Watanabe Yu stood in front of me and saved me from facing danger. Is it enough to just say a simple "thank you"?
Isn’t this a bit too perfunctory?

At the very least, there wasn't even any practical thanks!

"Watanabe, tomorrow is Saturday, are you free?"

Yuki Hayakawa raised her fair little face, her eyes full of seriousness.

"I have something to do tomorrow."

Watanabe Yu said this without even thinking.

"The day after tomorrow?"

Yuki Hayakawa then asked.

"The day after tomorrow..."

"You have to give me a chance to express your gratitude." Hayakawa Yuki stopped and pursed her lips a little aggrieved, "Otherwise I will always feel that I owe you."

"When a woman feels indebted to a man, it means that he may give her gold coins." Watanabe Yu paused and looked at Hayakawa Yuki meaningfully, "Why, you want me to give you gold coins too, right?"

"I don't have much money." Hayakawa Yuki met Watanabe Yu's gaze without flinching, "But if you want, Watanabe, I can give you all the New Year's money I saved."

"..."

No, man, what does that mean?

Shouldn't I just scold myself at this time, or end the topic right there! ?
A science fiction movie, right?

"How long is the weekend?"

Watanabe Yu sighed.

"Well, it depends on how soon you are free, Watanabe."

Yuki Hayakawa blinked and thought that the tactic of retreating to advance that her mother taught her was indeed effective.

"What about noon?"

Watanabe Yu compromised.

"It's a deal?"

"A word is settled!"
