Chapter 31 No, you really can! ? (4K8 small chapter)

Tick, tick.

As the first drop of rain rolled to the ground, the gray sky seemed to have received some kind of signal, and heavy rain poured down. The thick rain curtain instantly covered the entire city.

"Takakura-san and I are going to be more on the same route, so let's split up today."

After school, Yu Watanabe, who was standing at the school gate, looked at Kiriyama and Kazuma, who waved to him and walked quickly to the big umbrella of Maki Takakura, and was speechless for a moment.

So after making a joke that day, this guy immediately started to put it into practice, right?

Sure enough, many of the things in my heart were said in the form of joking.

"Let's go."

Looking back, Watanabe Yu sighed in his heart, greeted Hayakawa Yuki, then opened his black umbrella and walked into the rain.

The raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a dense snapping sound.

I think many athletes will have their dreams shattered tonight.

"Ah."

Yuki Hayakawa responded, opened her transparent umbrella, and walked to Watanabe Yu's side.

After the two of them walked down the gentle slope outside Chengnan Private High School, Yuki Hayakawa took the initiative to start the conversation, "You did quite well in the exam this time, ranking 76th in the grade."

There was something oddly sour about her tone.

This person is so despicable, working hard in private!

"Why do you feel sour?"

Watanabe Yu turned his head and looked at Hayakawa Yuki with some confusion.

"Your illusion."

Yuki Hayakawa turned her head away a little proudly, her long golden hair covering her profile.

During the afternoon break, she went to the bulletin board to check the rankings.

She looked at Watanabe Yu's name, which she could easily find by looking from the front, and then glanced at her own name, which she could also easily find by looking from the back. Her mood was complicated.

Maybe this is what is meant by "one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence."

"really?"

Watanabe Yu teased her by asking knowingly.

Yuki Hayakawa's mood is written on her face and integrated into her tone of voice, and it is easy to hear her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Humph!"

Yuki Hayakawa raised her little face and snorted in dissatisfaction. This person is so annoying!

But the next second, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned around.

"that……"

She lowered her eyebrows, and the momentum she had before disappeared, and her voice softened.

"Watanabe, do you have any tips for studying? If so, please teach me!"

She still wants to improve her grades, and not stay where she is or even go backwards.

This way, she can stand up straight when socializing with others in class.

After all, when everyone is competing openly and secretly to study, your grades don't improve at all, and you even give up academically, giving people the impression that you are terrible.

Especially when everyone is silently competing with each other, this feeling of being out of place becomes even stronger.

"The trick?"

Watanabe Yu repeated the word with a subtle expression.

Before traveling through time, he always wanted to ask the top students this question.

Do you have any secrets? Otherwise, how could you do so well in the exam?
Everyone is taking the same classes, attending the same cram school, being taught by the same teacher, and completing the same homework, but the results of each exam are different.

They are always that high, and he is always stuck in the middle, neither going up nor down.

An uncomfortable one.

"OK!"

Yuki Hayakawa nodded, with a hint of anticipation in her bright eyes.

"If I must say something..." Watanabe Yuu considered his words, "There is no trick, but there are learning methods that can be used as reference."

He wasn't kidding when he said it was all hard work and sweat.

"Speaking!"

Yuki Hayakawa slowed down her pace, her fair little face full of seriousness, as if she was listening attentively.

“Be fully present and relax appropriately.”

Watanabe's words are concise and to the point.

These are the eight words he thinks are the most useful.

But learning is always about being perfect.
——It looks difficult, but it’s actually not easy at all.

It's pure!

“Similar to the state of flow?”

Yuki Hayakawa tilted her head, causing her golden shoulder-length hair to sway slightly.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Yu Watanabe looked at the blonde girl with some surprise.

He really didn't expect that she actually knew the concept of flow.

"The more carefully I listen in math class, the faster I fall asleep."

Yuki Hayakawa pursed her lips and muttered something.

She really tried her best.

But what the math teacher taught was so sleep-inducing, just like a quilt on a rainy day, it was irresistible.

"It's a pity that Kiriyama is not here, otherwise he would definitely pat his chest and say that he has a say in this matter."

Watanabe Yuu teased.

Kiriyama and Marco have a lot to say in this matter.

This guy follows the standard three-step reverse process when taking English class: open the book, listen carefully, and then lie down and fall asleep. The whole process takes no more than three minutes. It is smooth and efficient.

Stable, no need to say more.

"I'd rather not have such a resemblance!"

Yuki Hayakawa rolled her eyes.

She doesn't want to be compared with Kiriyama and Ma!

"Then what do you mean?"

Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the rain-soaked street in front of him.

This heavy rain was lighter than when it first fell, but the number of office workers running on the streets with briefcases on their shoulders did not decrease at all.

"I did very badly on the test this time, so Mr. Anyuan came to talk to me."

Yuki Hayakawa couldn't help but sigh.

During lunch break, Risa Yasuhara called her to the office and had a private chat with her.

What Mr. Yasuhara meant was that her grades were in a dangerous state and she couldn't concentrate in class.

This situation is very bad.

Yes, the school can indeed turn a blind eye and ignore her for the sake of her mother.

But if possible, I still hope she can work harder and strive for the best in her studies.

After all, her future life is her own. It is always good to learn more knowledge and strive for a platform to see a wider world.

"Now that things are in front of us, let's think about the bright side." Watanabe Yu raised his umbrella higher and took two steps closer to Hayakawa Yuki, "Go inside."

"Oh."

Yuki Hayakawa nodded and obediently moved a little to the inside of the sidewalk.

The next second, a white car drove past them, and its tires rolled over the small pond, splashing water with a loud noise.

"so close!"

Yuki Hayakawa looked at the splash of water that almost touched Watanabe Yu and subconsciously exclaimed.

"It's actually not bad."

Watanabe Yu shrugged, moved a few steps to the outside, and returned to the distance between him and Hayakawa Yuki.

"You just said to think in a positive direction?" Hayakawa Yuki asked expectantly, "Can you give me an example?"

She wanted to hear a word or two of comforting from Watanabe Yu.

"For example, judging from your current performance, there is huge room for improvement."

Watanabe Yu gave a thumbs up.

Since you are already at the lowest point, no matter how far you go, you will be moving upwards!

"…You are so good at comforting people, Watanabe!"

Yuki Hayakawa was silent for a moment and glared at Yu Watanabe!
She suddenly wanted to give herself the boost she had been waiting for!
The little leather shoes made a sticky sound as they stepped on the wet ground.

However, her mood was not as heavy as before.

"If this counts, then I have many advantages. You can observe me more when you have time."

Watanabe Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pretended not to understand and continued the conversation.

What he said wasn't entirely joking, he had similar experiences.

At that time, he studied with the mentality of "it's impossible to be worse anyway, why think so much, just do your best every day." Then, during the college entrance examination, he made a small comeback. Sometimes, people just need to have this mentality.

After experiencing setbacks and feeling like the sky is falling, you might as well force yourself to concentrate and keep moving forward. It doesn't matter if you fall, at least you are moving, which is progress compared to staying where you were before.

When you have truly overcome this hurdle and look back, you will suddenly realize that, oh, it was actually nothing at that time.

The light boat has passed the tens of thousands of mountains.

"Tsk, I wouldn't do that, so shameless~"

Yuki Hayakawa made a face at Watanabe Yu, deliberately took two quick steps, and stepped into the small puddle in front of her. The splashing water wet Watanabe Yu's trouser legs.

Her white socks were not spared.

But her mood was much better!
You're so shameless!
"Little kid, huh?"

Watanabe Yu moved aside, feeling both amused and helpless, but he was not angry.

"Yeah, you just realized it? You can observe it when you have time. Childishness is just a tiny part of my many good qualities~"

Yuki Hayakawa raised the corner of her mouth and repeated it in the same tone as Yuu Watanabe just now.

"hai~"

Watanabe Yu responded casually.

"I'm sorry, don't be angry~" Yuki Hayakawa misunderstood what Watanabe Yu meant, acted like a spoiled child, apologized for her behavior just now, and then changed the subject, "By the way, how long do you plan to come over to start the class?"

Naoko Hayakawa had asked her twice.

"This weekend?"

Watanabe Yu calculated the time.

On Saturday, he, the frost troll, has to go out for a walk with the Saint Lady so that he can have some free time on the weekend.

"You are such a busy man~"

Yuki Hayakawa teased him.

In her impression, Watanabe Yu is particularly busy on his days off.

Needless to say, it is normal not to see him in the class group. This is what professional lurkers are like. But it is a bit unreasonable that he is also like this in private chats.

If you reply in an hour, it is considered early.

"The main thing is that some things really can't be delayed."

Watanabe Yu accepted the teasing obediently, then raised his eyebrows and glanced at the billboard not far away.

Before they knew it, they had already walked one-third of their usual distance.

Today's speed seems to be even faster than usual?
Of course, it could also be just his illusion.

"Okay~" Hayakawa Yuki nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Do you plan to learn a musical instrument? Or do you just plan to learn singing?"

When she was a child, she was often criticized by Hayakawa Naoko when she learned to play musical instruments.

"Learn as much as you can."

Watanabe Yu thought for a moment and gave an answer.

Music Comprehensive (Elementary) not only includes experience in composing music and vocal music, but also includes some experience in using musical instruments.

If you have a basic foundation, learn more if you can. It is always better to have more skills.

"Is your goal so big?" Hayakawa Yuki chuckled and straightened the tilted umbrella handle. "I'm curious about one thing. Watanabe, are you learning music just because you're interested?"

Her sixth sense told her that the reason he gave at the time was not the real reason.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Watanabe Yu stopped and the two of them came to a crossroads.

As luck would have it, the green light at the crosswalk turned red.

Under the open umbrellas are passers-by with different expressions, tired office workers, and students wearing headphones. The dense raindrops hit the umbrellas, making a series of tapping sounds.

The two boys standing near them looked at Hayakawa Yuki with some curiosity.

A beautiful girl, wearing the school uniform of a private high school in the south of the city and with blonde hair, such a combination is very rare.

"Because when I was a kid, I learned musical instruments and music from my mother, and I just felt tired."

Yuki Hayakawa lowered her voice and moved closer to Yuu Watanabe.

She was still not good at dealing with crowded places like this and those scrutinizing looks.

Ding, ding, ding.

The red light at the pedestrian crossing turned green, and the vehicles in front of the crossing stopped.

"Well, let's put it this way, I want to reproduce some melodies that linger in my mind." Watanabe Yu reminded her, "It's time to go."

The two of them took a step forward, crossed the crosswalk, and walked into the residential area.

"You can also write songs!?"

Yuki Hayakawa widened her eyes in surprise.

If someone has good academic performance, she will think, "Oh, he (she) works very hard in study." But if someone can write songs, as long as the songs are of normal quality, she will think from the bottom of her heart that this person is great.

This requires inspiration, talent and genius.

"A little bit."

Watanabe Yu was modest for a moment.

"Sing it for me?"

Yuki Hayakawa's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Yu Watanabe with anticipation.

She was curious about what kind of songs he created.

"Sure, what kind do you want to listen to?"

Watanabe Yuu met Hayakawa Yuki's gaze and asked.

Anyway, the latter will know about this sooner or later, because he has made up his mind and shamelessly asked Aunt Hayakawa for a one-stop service, from accompaniment demos to song recording, everything in one go!
“…Is there still a choice here!?”

Yuki Hayakawa's steps suddenly paused.

She heard from her mother that songwriters often stayed up all night to write songs, so it was normal for them to be unconscious.

As for coming up with a song that is above the standard, it takes more than a day or two, sometimes you can only come up with a few songs in a year.

And good songs are even more hard to come by.

"Yes, why not?"

Watanabe Yu asked back.

With the help of the Intermediate and Memory courses and the Elementary courses, he can sing all the songs that he has memorized in his mind.

The only regret is that most of these songs are in Chinese, and there are not many Japanese songs.

"Well, can you sing a song you want to sing now?"

Yuki Hayakawa slowed down her pace and threw the choice back to Yu Watanabe.

"Well, maybe the style of the music is different from the ones you've heard?"

To be on the safe side, Watanabe Yu still mentioned it.

"Okay~"

Yuki Hayakawa pricked up her ears in anticipation.

This was the first time she heard a boy of her own age singing while walking home on a rainy day.

“The name of this song is ‘Sea of ​​Flowers’.”

Watanabe Yu gave a brief introduction.

Jay's "Sea of ​​Flowers" has an authentic Japanese cover version, which also caused quite a stir.

Atari Kousuke's highly recognizable voice brings out the characteristics of "Sea of ​​Flowers" and also expresses the unique tenderness of "I am still here".

After searching for the melody in his mind, Watanabe Yu began to sing with ease. He was very familiar with this song. The only possible difficulty was that he had to translate the lyrics into Japanese.

But it’s not difficult, just follow Kousuke Atari’s version.

"君の雪せがPUじゃないこと (Your happiness is not because of me)
"涙つたうその頬にtouch れてわかる (I know it when I wipe the tears from your cheeks)
"At least if this is the last time, please give me a flawless smile"

"君を焼きFUけたくてまぶたとじれば (let me close my eyes and imprint you deeply in my heart)"

Yuki Hayakawa was stunned.

She originally thought that the song written by Watanabe Yu would be very ordinary, and she was prepared to give positive comments no matter how Watanabe Yu sang.

But from the moment his very relaxed voice sounded, she was stunned.

The speech I had prepared in my mind was suppressed.

The lyrics are good, but his singing skills are another.

It is no exaggeration to say that Watanabe Yu's singing skills have already reached entry-level level. His vocal method is quite scientific, and you can tell at a glance that he has a certain foundation.

The most important thing is that his voice has a special sense of story.

Just by listening, her thoughts were drawn into the story in the song.

The affectionate him, the her pursuing her dreams, the separated lovers, the unforgettable him.

Sea of ​​flowers.

The name is indeed worthy of its name.

After the song was over, the two people who were walking stopped.

The two raised their eyes and looked at the figure around the corner in surprise.

Naoko Hayakawa, who was holding an umbrella, widened her eyes and looked at Watanabe Yu in shock, as if she was looking at a monster.
