Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 36 Draft

To Watanabe Yu's surprise, the sender of these two messages was neither Hayakawa Yuki nor Kiriyama Kazuma.

It was Naoko Hayakawa and his editor Akiie Kuriyama.

After thinking for a moment, Watanabe Yu first clicked on the message from Hayakawa Naoko.

In the past, they didn't talk much, and even if they did, most of the topics were about Yuki Hayakawa.

Aunt Hayakawa used him to indirectly monitor Yuki Hayakawa's situation at school.

In a sense, he was forced to bear the identity of a "double agent".

But what caught his eyes now was not the short sentences of the past, but a long string of words.

After reading it carefully, he smiled helplessly.

The good news is, it’s not a short essay.

The bad news is that Naoko Hayakawa has something urgent to do this weekend and cannot keep the appointment.

However, her words were sincere and she apologized sincerely again and again.

Watanabe You considered his words carefully and typed out a line of text in reply.

[You don't need to apologize. There are indeed some unexpected emergencies in life. Please deal with your matters first. The same applies to other dates.]

After replying to Hayakawa Naoko's message, Watanabe Yu clicked on another message from Kuriyama Akiie.

To his surprise, the editor did not bring small talk this time, but serious work.

The release date of "Norwegian Wood" has been officially confirmed!
[The release date is set for Tuesday, May 8th. The bookstore has already arranged the promotion.]

[OK, got it]

Putting down his phone, Watanabe You sat back on the futon.

"what happened?"

Amamiya Ayana asked curiously.

She only saw Watanabe Yu unlock his phone and reply to the message.

"Good news and bad news are coming in droves."

Watanabe Yu shrugged and answered truthfully.

This is nothing to keep secret.

"What's the bad news?"

Amemiya Ayana picked up a piece of beef from the red pot with chopsticks and put it into the clear soup pot. After rinsing it twice, she put it into her own dipping sauce bowl.

This is her last bit of stubbornness.

"The weekend was skipped."

Watanabe Yuu noticed Amamiya Ayana's little move and reminded her, "There is a bowl in the kitchen. You can consider getting some water to rinse it and then dip it in the dipping sauce."

This trick can be said to be tried and tested.

Get the greatest satisfaction with the least loss of taste.

The only flaw is probably that it has been rinsed, so the taste, no matter how you put it, is still a little worse than the original version.

"Forget about that." Amamiya Ayana shook her head. "What's the good news?"

“Norwegian Wood has been released on Tuesday, May 8th.”

"おめでとう(Congratulations)~"

Amemiya Ayana nodded and put the meat into her mouth.

She had checked out Akiba Bookstore, where Mr. Troll had contributed his work.

Overall, it is pretty good. Compared with those old publishing houses, although it is a bit "younger", it has always been good at publicity and promotion.

When it is released, she will personally support it by buying a hundred copies.

After dinner, Amemiya Ayana took over the task of washing the dishes as usual.

Compared to last time, she was much more familiar with it.

By the time both parties had cleared away their dishes, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Show me~"

Amemiya Ayana enthusiastically handed the guitar to Watanabe Yu, then sat on the nearest futon and looked at him expectantly.

He had said before that the songs he knew were all ones she had never heard of.

Yes, her daily life is very boring. She is either studying or on her way to study.

But she has listened to quite a few songs.

She has listened to all the popular pop songs of today and the past.

"What do you want to hear?"

Holding the guitar, Watanabe Yu adjusted his sitting position slightly to a more comfortable one.

After simply plucking the strings twice, he quickly got into the groove. Singing is a very enjoyable thing.

"It will be all right."

Ayana Amamiya has never been picky about songs.

Her only requirement is that it sounds good.

At least, well, the minimum requirement is that it should be acceptable to the ears, but not to the point where it is unacceptable upon first hearing.

"Well, let's just sing a random song. By the way, does Miss Saint know Chinese?"

After a little thought, Watanabe Yu had the answer in his mind, but to be on the safe side, he still asked in advance.

"Yeah, no problem (Chinese)"

Amamiya Ayana nodded.

Their family requires proficiency in three or more languages.

"OK~"

He was relieved.

Watanabe Yu gently plucked the strings of the guitar and hummed a pleasant melody softly.

Yakimochi (Jealous) was released in August 2014.

This is a song written, composed and sung by Japanese singer Takahashi Yu, included in his album "今、そこにある明灭と群生", and was also the ending song of the hit Japanese TV series "Midnight Diner 3" broadcast in the same year.

Whether it is the original song or the somewhat controversial Mandarin version, Watanabe Yu likes it very much.

This is also the reason why he asked Miss Saint if she could speak Chinese.

Amemiya Ayana looked at Watanabe Yu with surprise.

She had prepared herself mentally.

But his proficiency in guitar far exceeded her expectations.

However, whether a song is good or not still depends on the lyrics.

Watanabe Yu didn't care about her surprised look and hummed with a relaxed expression.

"君が前にFUき合っていた人のこと (When you tell things about people you dated in the past)
"When you confess to me"
"So straight and straight (I didn't listen candidly)"

You are going too far, aren't you?
Ayana Amamiya stared blankly at Watanabe Yu in front of her.

She had indeed never heard of this song.

It also sounds unexpectedly good!

Just a few lines of lyrics had already captured her full attention.

I have to say it, Yu Watanabe's voice is so story-telling.

It seems that he is not singing, but telling a story, a past.

As the song progresses and the voice flows, the emotion of the song reaches its climax in an instant.

"As long as you and I can be together"
"As long as you let me hold your hand"
"Good enough"
"大杀な事ほど见见れた地で (The most precious thing)
"Hui no Nana (maybe it is shining in some accustomed places)"

Amemiya Ayana withdrew her gaze from Watanabe Yu's face, closed her eyes, and listened carefully.

The melody became a little more soothing.

After a brief pause, the singing began again.

However, this time the lyrics were in Chinese.

"This road of stopping and starting
"Following the traces of the boy's drift

"The moment before leaving the station

“Somewhat hesitant”

Although the melody remains the same, the feeling it gives is completely different.

Ayana Amamiya suddenly understood why he asked her if she could speak Chinese.

The emotions in the song progress slowly just like before.

Finally, after a deliberate breath, the same melody, two completely different songs, reached completely opposite emotional peaks.

"I still marvel at how big the world is
"Also intoxicated by childhood love stories

"No more truth or falsehood, no more struggle, no more jokes"

Sing a song.

Ayana Amamiya looked at Watanabe Yu in front of her and was silent for a moment.

She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a little strange.
