How does ordering someone to play with you become your girlfriend?

Chapter 156 Yuka: I want to get engaged to you right away

After the sweet interaction between Youhua and Zhao Yu, the female host's curiosity was ignited again.

"I heard that several of Zhao-san's songs were written for Yuka-chan? Is this true?"

"That's true. If there weren't Yuka, perhaps these songs that are loved by everyone would not have been born." Zhao Yu nodded.

Although it is somewhat a bit of a usurpation to say that my own creations are created by me, it is also an undeniable fact that I can recall these songs because of Yuka.

"That's great. In a sense, Zhao Sang is recording your love in a way that can be passed down forever, right?" Hearing Zhao Yu's admission, the female host couldn't help but sigh.

"This is also an important reason why we invited Zhao Sang to participate in the program. The song "First Love" has a high click rate on video websites and has even attracted many elderly listeners. It is rare to find such a song that is suitable for all ages." The male host took over the topic and added.

"I'm actually not that great, I just happened to resonate with everyone," said Zhao Yu.

He has always had a clear understanding of himself. These things themselves are the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors. That's why he is not like some of his predecessors who time traveled through time and space and wanted to copy out all the songs in his mind. Instead, he stopped at the right time and maintained a sense of awe.

He used the income from live streaming to do charity before because he felt that the money was basically picked up. In Zhao Yu's opinion, one can never make enough money, so it is better to help those in need, just to seek peace of mind.

"Being able to create a song that resonates with such a wide range of people is itself a reflection of your talent, Zhao Sang, you don't have to be too modest." The male host felt that Zhao Yu was a little too modest.

Then, the male host changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the song "First Love" that we sang last time should be ready for a studio version, right? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Yes, "First Love" will be released together with my previous two songs as the pre-release track of the album, and this album is the best love letter I give to Youhua." Zhao Yu responded.

"You are worthy of being a man known for being romantic! I heard that Japan is currently selecting the most popular stars, maybe you will be selected?" The male host couldn't help but teasing Zhao Yu.

"A man known for his romance, isn't this title a bit too exaggerated?" Zhao Yu was stunned. Do all Japanese people like this kind of childish title?
He still remembered a certain Chinese table tennis player who was called the 'Empire's Fierce Tiger', in contrast to another player who was called the 'Empire's Destructive Dragon'.

He originally thought that only sports channels would be so exaggerated, but he didn't expect that they were the same in real life?

"Hahaha, it seems like Zhao Sang doesn't know yet!" the male host laughed.

"This is the title that everyone on the Internet has unanimously agreed upon after watching your live streaming videos. Many girls have said that as long as you are willing, they will be willing to be your mistress..."

Before he could finish his words, the male host felt two murderous auras, and the female host and Yuka looked at him at the same time.

"Their relationship is great. If it's destroyed because of something like this, then I won't believe in love anymore." The female host said while glancing at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu smiled helplessly. Now the composition of his fans in Neon was very clear.

One type is the female fans who are attracted by his looks and displayed talents. This type of people have always been jealous of Yuhua, just like the group of male fans who watched his live broadcast because of Yuhua.

The other type is fans like the female host and Li Qingwan, who watch the show completely as a dating show.

This type of fans will naturally protect the relationship between the two, and every interaction between them will surprise this type of fans.

Ever since he has been releasing songs one after another and producing albums specifically for Yuka, a large number of his girlfriend fans have slowly begun to transform into the latter type of fans.

The reason why he knew about this was that Shiori Nanamiya told Zhao Yu. She seemed to have joined a fan club of Zhao Yu and found that although the new album was not prepared for fans, it was highly discussed in the club.

Almost 90 percent of people said they would buy it to show their support, which even surprised Li Qingwan, who always prided herself on being very knowledgeable about fan economy.

After some discussion, several people came to an outrageous conclusion, that is, Zhao Yu and Youhua have been tacitly accepted by fans as unable to be separated.

Since they cannot be separated, it is better to focus on their love, or put yourself in Yuhua's role and carefully experience Zhao Yu's love.

However, if we put ourselves in Yuka's shoes, it would be the extreme girlfriend fans who are doing this, and most of the ordinary fans have already converted into CP fans of the two.

It seems that you have mistaken our show stage as a great place to promote your new album. I think I have the right to ask you for some publicity fees." The male host pretended to be smart, with a playful look in his eyes.

"Haha, really? Then what price do you plan to offer? How about we settle it privately?" Zhao Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"It's a private matter, so of course we have to discuss it in private. Don't be so anxious..." The male host said as he approached Zhao Yu and pulled him aside affectionately.

"How about this? You can officially sing your song "First Love" on stage today. This way, the ratings will soar, and my bonus will also increase."

"Haha, it seems that the TV station and the hosts are so straightforward and honest..." Zhao Yu joked.

"This is an old tradition of Tokyo TV." The male host looked proud.

"This is a great idea! This way I can listen to songs and increase my bonus at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!" the female host agreed excitedly.

In fact, all of this was a carefully planned program effect. Tokyo TV had already communicated with Zhao Yu secretly, hoping that he could perform this song in its entirety for the first time.

Zhao Yu also readily agreed because the TV station offered him an offer that he could not refuse.

"Okay, ready for the music!" The male host snapped his fingers loudly, and melodious music instantly filled the entire studio.

Zhao Yu's singing then sounded. Although his voice was not as affectionate as that of the original singer Murashita Kozo, he cleverly found another way to interpret it.

After discussing with O'Ni's arranger, the accompaniment style created is infinitely close to the cover version of another Japanese legendary singer, Koji Tamaki.

If Takazo Murashita's version is the boy's passionate emotional outburst, then Koji Tamaki's version is the deep regret of an adult.

The arrangement incorporates the melodious sound of the trombone, which runs through the entire song, giving this classic work a touch of sadness.

This version is very resonant, and people of different ages will have different feelings after listening to it.

Zhao Yu's low and soothing singing voice is like a frustrated man drinking alone under a street light, telling the strange boy beside him his love story from his youth, and warning him not to repeat his mistakes and leave regrets.

"The name is the name of the name, the name is the heart, the name is the heart, the name is the name, the name is the word, the word is the word..."

When the song got to the emotional part, even the male host next to him was stunned, and the back of the girl who played and joked with him in the campus appeared in his mind.

First love is like a spell. Only after years of precipitation can people deeply appreciate its magic.

After the song ended, there was no sound in the studio for a long time. Even A Shui, who was originally chatting with the viewers in the live broadcast room while listening to the song, fell into silence.

His eyes flickered, and his gaze was not fixed on the show, but he looked a little dazed.

No one knows whether this boy who became famous at a young age also has an unforgettable first love that he needs to recall.

[Every time when I feel like I have lost interest in novelty, Brother Yu always gives me the whole big one. ]

[I can only say that not hearing the instrumental version is definitely a loss for those who didn’t watch Shuizige’s live broadcast today. ]

[You show off your affection while stabbing us in the back, Brother Yu is really something...]

[I want to go home and see her. She should not be married yet, right? ]

[What if? Maybe I still have a chance...]

Unlike last time, the version with accompaniment is more touching. Even without reading the lyrics, you can understand what the song is about.

Now the Chinese audience finally understood the feelings of the Japanese audience at that time, and many of them began to feel mixed emotions.

"Good music can move people's hearts. This statement is indeed true. I believe Zhao Sang will be an excellent singer in the future." The male host wiped his eyes quietly and said seriously.

"Thank you for your good words." Zhao Yu thanked him.

“But if it’s just this one song, it doesn’t seem to be enough, right? After all, we have to temporarily change the program, and the funds needed…” The male host’s expression changed, and he blinked in a somewhat mercenary way.

"I knew it..." Zhao Yu sighed helplessly and turned to look at Youhua.

"Yuuka."

"Hey?! What's wrong?" Youhua was suddenly called by Zhao Yu and looked at him in panic.

"Before the show, weren't you very curious about what the host and I were doing?" Zhao Yu said.

When she first came to Tokyo TV, Yuka put on makeup together with Zhao Yu. Being a boy, Zhao Yu was naturally faster in putting on makeup.

After putting on makeup, he went out with the host. Yuka remembered that he said...

"Didn't you say that you were discussing with the host what performance to make?" Youhua recalled what Zhao Yu said.

"It's not just that, Yuka-chan." The female host smiled mysteriously.

"Actually, I was planning to give you a surprise at the end of the show, but it seems the host can't wait." Zhao Yu spoke slowly.

"Actually, this is fine. Your monologue just now surprised me a little. My girl shouldn't be so unconfident. If you don't have it, then let me bring it to you."

As Zhao Yu finished speaking, a brisk and playful jazz accompaniment accompanied by 808 drum beats sounded.

This is a very obvious jazz hip-hop style accompaniment. Compared with other hip-hop styles, it is more elegant and rational, and the lyrics also have a strong personal style.

Nowadays, the most famous singers in this category are from Japan, and jazz hip-hop has been firmly associated with Japan.

Whenever this accompaniment sounds, images of samurai, sunsets and sunflowers naturally appear in my mind.

But this time, what Zhao Yu wanted to borrow was a song dedicated to his beloved girl.

"I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world.
Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl

her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup (sweetness wells up in my heart when I say her name softly)…"

The lyrics were so straightforward and emotionally strong that Yuka's eyes widened.

Zhao Yu spoke as if he was reading a love letter as he walked forward and took Yuka's hand.

The lights in the studio went out, leaving only a spotlight shining on the two of them, as if the studio had become their stage.

Zhao Yu's story continues...

“I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style”
you profess, you could be my guest (Would you be willing to be an important guest in my life?)..." If the song "First Love" can be recalled because of Shinichiro Ueno and Mamiko, then this song is because of Yuka.

On the way to the TV station, Youhua was actually a little absent-minded. Zhao Yu saw her secretly looking at her cell phone several times.

The only thing that could make her so worried was the impact of the documentary on Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu wanted to use this song to tell Youhua that there is no need to worry, because love is like this, some things need two people to face together.

"I can rely on you, but Youhua, you also have to rely on me more. After all, I am your future husband, right? So... our song will continue to play, I promise." As he said that, Zhao Yu kissed Youhua's forehead lightly.

"Is there any style he doesn't know?" the female host muttered to herself in a daze.

The pop songs include "Light up the Fireworks", the country-style songs include "Beautiful Days", the retro-style songs include "First Love", and now they are playing jazz hip-hop, which is what Japan is good at.

The female host really couldn't imagine how this man would develop in Japan in the future. It seemed as if he came here specifically to conquer the Japanese music scene.

"It's a big profit..." The male host was so excited that his hands holding the microphone were shaking.

These two songs alone are worth the price of the ticket. Although he is not a professional music critic, he has come into contact with many singers and he knows the quality of songs better than ordinary people.

He had never seen such a talented and amazing man in such a long time. Maybe it was really as he joked, the bonus would increase.

"Hate it, if you keep going on like this, I'm going to be spoiled by you." Youhua felt that her whole body was filled with happiness. She hugged Zhao Yu tightly and spoke in a muffled voice in his arms.

I was happy every day in China. After returning to Japan, it seemed as if the happiness had doubled. I felt like I was in the clouds every day.

"I can't wait any longer, Yujun."

"Hmm? Can't wait for what?"

"I…"

"Ahem, you two don't have to hug each other for so long, right? Our interview isn't over yet." The male host didn't speak until now to remind them.

"Oh! Okay..." Youhua was interrupted and quickly let go of Zhao Yu.

This made Zhao Yu, who had only heard half of the conversation, glare at the male host fiercely.

"Actually, the reason we are interviewing you two today is not just because of Zhao Sang's outstanding performance as a singer, but also because of Youhua." The male host continued.

Zhao Yu's heart tightened. Was it finally time to get to the point? He hoped that Tokyo TV could do what it promised him...

"I believe many people have seen a documentary recently that contains some forgotten history." The male host said while looking at the female host.

The female host nodded and signaled the director to switch the camera to the big screen.

A series of shocking figures appeared, along with some photos that Yuka took in the museum...

"I know... this is a close-fitting shot!" A Shui, who was watching the show on the other side, sat up straight.

[Wait? Am I seeing this right? TV Tokyo, broadcasting these?]

[So, isn't Brother Yu promoting his new song today? ]

[It turns out that he has never forgotten what he said during the previous interview in Huaxia...]

[Yuuka has been working hard...]

The Chinese audience was stunned. They had never thought that they could see these things on Japanese TV.

This is tantamount to blatantly tearing off the fig leaf of Japanese politicians.

"Yuhua-chan, can you tell me, are these all true?" asked the female host.

"It's all true. I collected everything bit by bit myself, including interviews with veterans." Yuka nodded solemnly.

"Neon is now a developed country. That is why I hope that the mistakes we made in the past will not be covered up. This is immoral!"

The powerful words plunged the studio into silence.

"The more I learn about these things, the more I realize that war is terrible, so someone is needed to show the cruel history."

Half an hour later, outside the studio.

"I'm really sorry, we've tried our best..." The male host looked at the two of them apologetically.

"Forget it. It's beyond my imagination that it can be broadcast for such a long time." Zhao Yu shook his head to indicate that it didn't matter.

Tokyo TV was really helpful. After agreeing to Zhao Yu, it left enough time to tell him and Yuka about that history.

But some people were not so magnanimous. About ten minutes into the broadcast of this scene, the studio was urgently stopped.

In the end, Zhao Yu and Youhua had to leave hastily, for their own safety...

According to the TV station director, he couldn't afford to offend the person who called to stop the trip, so the only thing he could do was to ensure that Youhua and Zhao Yu returned home safely.

"How about this, in addition to the appearance fee this time, I will personally sponsor you some compensation." The male host said, taking out a few hot spring tickets from his pocket.

"This is a ticket to a hot spring in Hokkaido. I was planning to go there with my family."

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Zhao Yu hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. After all, reciprocity is the norm. Although the show has only been aired halfway, I dare say it will be very lively in the coming days." The male host smiled.

"I will not deny these histories. The most important thing is that they can indeed bring a lot of popularity. In the future, we only need to invite some historical experts, and Tokyo TV can maintain its popularity for a long time."

So that's it. Are they planning to hype this topic for a long time? Zhao Yu understood.

Although this may sound a bit despicable, a gentleman judges by deeds rather than by intentions, so it is a good thing that it can continue.

"No need to keep refusing. This is actually what the station director meant. He was planning to let you go on a trip to avoid the limelight. I just happen to have hot spring tickets here..."

"I see. I'll take it then."

Zhao Yu nodded and took the hot spring ticket from the male host.

It was right to hide for a while. After all, we were now in the opponent's territory and it was a good opportunity to relax.

When Yuka went to O-Ni to make the accompaniment by herself these two days, she seemed absent-minded the whole time. He thought he could let Yuka relax.

"It's a pleasure working with you. I hope we can have a complete interview next time." The male host extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Zhao Yu shook hands with him.

"Then I won't see you off. There's already a car waiting for you at the door. After you return to Nara, you should leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, bye."

After saying goodbye to the male host, Zhao Yu and Youhua quickly got on the car arranged by the TV station.

As the car started slowly, he remembered that Yuhua seemed to have left something unsaid.

Looking at Yuhua, she was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze. The smile on her face was gone, and she looked a little melancholy.

"Youhua, what did you want to say just now?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Call mom and dad back early. I want to get engaged to you right away." Yuhua didn't turn around, but spoke in a flat voice.

She and Zhao Yu were sitting closely together, shoulder to shoulder. The fragrance from her body kept flowing into Zhao Yu's nose, but this was not as lethal as this sentence.

In the past, Yuka had always been a little shy about this matter, and she felt that Mamiko was teasing her whenever she mentioned it.

But now she took the initiative to bring up engagement, which made Zhao Yu feel a little dizzy.

"What did you say?" Zhao Yu asked in disbelief.

"I say, why don't we get engaged soon?" Yuka repeated.

"Are you really ready?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Well, Yujun didn't have any intention of stopping me after the show started, right? Even when it was stopped in the end, he still held my hand." Youhua turned her head and met Zhao Yu's eyes.

In fact, when Zhao Yu gave her a surprise just now, Youhua already had this impulse, and the subsequent events made her even more determined.

Zhao Yu did what he said and always stood by Youhua, giving her confidence.

Youhua has nothing else to repay Zhao Yu now, and can only give him a promise.

The suspension of the program made her realize once again the seriousness of the matter in Neon. Zhao Yu was able to follow her to Neon and support her. Maybe he was ready to share life and death with her, right?

If that's the case, what's there to be shy about? With a boy who loves you like this, it's better to make up your mind as soon as possible.

She has decided to get engaged to Zhao Yu no matter what.

"Okay, then let's wait until after this hot spring trip." Zhao Yu looked at Youhua's serious eyes and reached out to put her head on his shoulder.

"In this way, we will be an engaged couple who share weal and woe." Zhao Yu paused for a moment and continued.

"No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together."
