Chapter 40 I hope you are happy

After eating the crepes, the two headed straight to the cinema.

But it was obvious that Watanabe Yu underestimated the Saint Lady's determination to integrate knowledge and action. When this girl said she wanted to watch a bad movie, she really picked the one with the lowest rating in the same period without hesitation.

Between "Tokyo Garden" with a score of 4.6 and "Song in the Rain" with a score of 3.7, she chose the latter without hesitation.

The facts do prove one thing, that a movie with a score of 3.7 is indeed incredibly bad.

"This movie is indeed worthy of the harsh reviews online and deserves to be called the worst movie of this season."

At 1:30 in the afternoon, sitting in a street-facing booth on the first floor of a western restaurant, Watanabe You sighed.

It should be said that there is no room for improvement in this movie.

It's hard to imagine the director's mental state.

"It doesn't deserve this honor. It's not bad enough. There's still a lot of room for improvement! Moreover, it doesn't have its own style!"

Amamiya Ayana pursed her lips.

She went to see that movie with such a deep feeling in her mind that she couldn't even express it in words.

She just wanted to see how curious it could be!

But after entering the cinema, she realized that she had been cheated!
This so-called "king of the worst movies" of this season is not really that bad, strictly speaking.

Compared to the crappy movies she had seen before, it was still a lot worse.

It's not so bad that it forces people to change their way of thinking and look at it as abstract art.

It's just poorly made.

The actor's acting skills are still barely acceptable.

Even the director made the story clear.

——This is also the point that she thinks is the most disappointing!
While the narrative rhythm is shit, at least there is some logic to it.

"I think that's about right."

The corners of Watanabe Yu's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that if this wasn't bad enough, then probably only those shoddy, third-rate bad movies he had seen before traveling through time could meet this standard.

“Not even close!”

Amamiya Ayana said this very seriously.

"?"

When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that you have a problem.

So you just wish others would rot away, right?

"The director probably wouldn't think that way. He would just think that he still has a lot of room for improvement."

He thought about it and continued the conversation.

"maybe."

Amemiya Ayana shrugged, picked up her glass of lemonade and took a sip.

"Speaking of which, Watanabe, do you ever worry about gains and losses?"

She blinked and threw out a new topic quite jumpily.

"Yes, I have."

"Tell me?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Amemiya Ayana's eyes.

"I was late for school and worried that I wouldn't be able to buy my favorite discounted bento."

"I took it seriously."

She shook her head and chuckled.

"Most of the time, the fear of losing something is because you are not satisfied with the present, but you are not so sure about the future, so you start to waste your energy."

Watanabe Yuu put away his joking expression, still looking relaxed, but his tone was a little more serious, "Living in the present may be a good option.

“After you have made a decision, made a judgment, and worked hard for it, don’t easily say you have failed before you see the results.

“The future that most people imagine is made up of countless todays.

"so……

"Do your best today, that's enough."

This is not some toxic chicken soup, but his personal experience.

“The future is long, and perhaps dark.

“But do not be afraid.

“For those who are not afraid, there is a way ahead.”

After thinking about it, he added this sentence.

"Thank you. I feel better now."

Amamiya Ayana smiled.

After hearing what Watanabe Yu said, she felt much better.

There was no need for her to worry about the situation she encountered yesterday.

Besides, as he said, she just needs to do her best every day.

but……

Amemiya Ayana lowered her eyebrows, glanced at the newly replaced table, then turned her head and looked at the street scene which was exactly the same as before, with a hint of loss between her brows.

"In the past, every Saturday and weekend, my mother would take me out to wander around aimlessly."

She paused, her voice becoming more lively.

"Like today?"

Watanabe Yu took up the conversation.

He noticed the micro-expression of Ayana Amamiya.

Although her tone was still natural, even more lively than before, he could sense that her mood was completely wrong. "Yes."

Amamiya Ayana nodded and smiled, "Just like today, no purpose, just walking and stopping.

“When she sees something interesting or delicious, she will stop and ask me to take a look, or buy one to try.

“After we finish shopping, my mother will take me to this restaurant to have my favorite lunch.

“Then she would take me to the cinema to see the latest movies.

“I don’t know if she just likes watching movies with low ratings or what.

“Anyway, the movies we watched together rarely had high ratings. To put it in today’s terms, they were all rubbish.

“I couldn’t understand why she could laugh so happily every time, even to the point of tears.

“But seeing her smile so happily, I also became happy for some reason.

“Maybe it’s not that important whether a movie is understandable or not, whether it has a low rating or not, or whether it’s bad or not.

“I just feel that if she is happy, I am happy too.

“Later, she had a conflict with that person.

“In her life, she smiles less and less.

"On weekends, she would take me out to play as usual, but compared to the initial aimlessness, she gradually began to have a 'plan'.

"We started to go to every 'fun' place step by step, to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel and carousel, to the oceanarium to see all kinds of marine animals.

“Seeing me having fun, she would force a smile and make me feel at ease.

“But I could actually feel that she was not happy at all.

"later……

“I never went out to play again.”

There is no home anymore.

Amamiya Ayana laughed at herself and gave Watanabe Yu an apologetic look, "Sorry, I'm talking to myself again."

Maybe it was because I was revisiting the restaurant, or maybe it was because of his words of comfort.

Anyway, the fact is, she couldn't help it.

"It's not important. The point is, are you happy today?"

Watanabe Yu turned his head and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window.

His eyes passed the window and fell on the street scene outside.

Under the bright sunshine, everything in the city seemed to be covered with a layer of white light, and the dazzling light made people's eyes dizzy.

As pedestrians came and went, cars hurried by, and the noisy voices of people and the sounds of cars mixed together.

Suddenly, three figures caught his attention.

In front of the steps of the pedestrian bridge, a family of three were playing games.

The couple held the hands of a little girl, who was about three or four years old, and amid the little girl's laughter, they pushed hard and carried her up the stairs step by step, as if they were simulating a trampoline.

The little girl laughed happily, and the couple laughed happily too.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Amemiya Ayana turned her eyebrows and glanced at Watanabe Yu.

"That depends on whether you want to tell the truth or a lie, okay."

Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and motioned her to look in the direction he was looking.

"me……"

Amemiya Ayana was stunned for a second, then followed Watanabe Yu's gaze and looked out the window.

After seeing the couple and the little girl, her expression softened. "You seem pretty happy, right?"

"That's enough." Watanabe Yu paused and retracted his gaze, "It proves that today was not in vain!"

"Watanabe, I..."

Amamiya Ayana pursed her red lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

"I won't say 'Ah, I understand how you feel'." Watanabe Yu shook his head, "If I say that, you will just think I'm too hypocritical and crazy.

“The only way to empathize with someone is to actually experience something similar.

"I haven't been through what you've been through, and frankly, I can't fully empathize with you.

"But I can tell you that at least here, if you feel uncomfortable and want to speak up, just speak up.

“Although I can’t empathize with you, I can be your best listener.”

Everyone needs to vent their emotions.

Watanabe Yu paused, "I hope you are happy!"

After she finished speaking, Amamiya Ayana fell silent.

There was a glimmer of crystal in those eyes that were as clear as a lake.

After today, she will have to go back to the Amemiya family and use her other side to accomplish the things she wants to do.

This is the path she chose.

She won't regret it.

But at least for now, she could relax a little.

a long time.

She withdrew her gaze from the window and uttered those two words sincerely.

"……Thanks."
