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

Chapter 158 Sapporo and Shiori Nanamiya's Questions
"Hiss! It's so cold..."

As soon as she got off the plane, Li Qingwan subconsciously raised her hand and exhaled gently. The sudden drop in temperature made her shiver uncontrollably.

"In terms of geographical location, Hokkaido and China's Longjiang Province are very close, and the climates are similar. Can you imagine how cold it is in Longjiang Province right now?" Zhao Yu, who followed behind her, explained in a low voice.

"So, Hokkaido is Japan's Northeast?" Li Qingwan asked.

"There's actually nothing wrong with that if you say so." Zhao Yu shrugged.

"I should have worn gloves earlier. Why didn't you remind me?" Li Qingwan rubbed her hands again.

"Didn't I tell you to wear more clothes?" Zhao Yu didn't want to take the blame, so he specifically told Li Qingwan about this before leaving.

"Who knew it was so different from Nara? I thought I just needed to wear thermal underwear." Li Qingwan said.

"Here, I have extra gloves and scarves." At this moment, Shiori Nanamiya's hand came over from behind.

"Woo woo, after all, you are more reliable, Shiori. I have decided that from now on you will be the second top star in my MCN!"

Li Qingwan took the scarf and gloves from Shiori Nanamiya and looked at her with gratitude.

"Your MCN has never signed anyone else except me, right?" Zhao Yu complained.

"Okay, we have to hurry and catch the bus, okay? Otherwise we might not get there before dark." Yuka reminded everyone.

"That's right! Let's get going quickly!" After hurriedly wrapping her scarf around her neck and putting on gloves, Li Qingwan spoke in agreement.

This time they went to Sapporo, Hokkaido, which is more than 1400 kilometers away from Nara. If they took the Shinkansen, it would be too expensive and time-consuming, so they naturally chose to fly.

Sapporo happens to have an airport as well, so you can take a bus to the hot spring hotel as soon as you get off the plane, which is very convenient.

As we got on the bus and got farther and farther away from the city, this place known as the "Snow Country" began to show its true charm.

The snow around was several meters high and piled up on both sides of the road. Sitting in the bus was like diving into a snowdrift.

This made Li Qingwan, who lived in the south like Zhao Yu and had never seen such heavy snow, open her eyes wide, and she lay by the window and watched like a child.

Zhao Yu sat quietly in the chair, while Youhua leaned in his arms and looked at his mobile phone with him.

"It seems like everyone is discussing the interruption of the TV interview?" Yuka whispered.

"After all, the audience is not stupid. They must be hiding something if they cover their mouths so quickly." Zhao Yu said.

The sudden end of the interview seemed to have led to an outcome he had not expected.

If the issue had been dealt with coldly, there might not have been such a big discussion, but I don't know who would be so smart as to come up with such a trick.

This attempt to cover up the truth has caused some Japanese people who originally didn't care much about this matter to start paying attention to this interview.

The click rate of Youhua's documentary has been increasing recently, and the comment section has become more and more lively.

Just as it told Zhao Yu, Tokyo TV also began to invite many historians to popularize this hidden history.

Moreover, it is a time period dedicated to broadcasting animation, which makes many Japanese people complain whether the world is going to be destroyed.

You should know that Tokyo TV's unshakable programs are a stereotype for all Japanese people, and there is even a movie that specifically complains about this.

In the movie, Neon was in chaos, but Tokyo TV was still broadcasting the animation, which made the protagonist breathe a sigh of relief and think that it should be no big deal.

It can be said that this time Tokyo TV broke its own tradition of many years, but the ratings it received were also explosive.

"Now they probably won't say they are poor anymore, right? Many people on the Internet said they will continue to follow Tokyo TV." Zhao Yu muttered to himself.

“But wasn’t it stopped before? Will it not be broadcast for long this time?” Yuka was still a little worried.

If we can stop them, we can stop others, right? If we can't even tell the truth, when will history be restored?

"I don't think so. It's okay if this happens once, but if it happens again, other parliamentarians will not sit idly by, right?" Zhao Yu said.

Although he didn't know much about Japan, he had heard about the struggles between the congressmen. He believed that the guy who was in a hurry to cover his mouth would definitely face a counterattack from his opponent during this period.

"It would actually be a good thing if they took action again. After all, the more they try to hide, the more they will face a backlash."

"That sounds complicated..." Yuka said, frowning.

"You just need to know that we should be fine during this period of time. Just enjoy this trip." Zhao Yu touched Youhua's head.

"Then I'll take a nap first, Yujun." Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Youhua stopped thinking about these things she was not good at and closed her eyes in Zhao Yu's arms.

Zhao Yu glanced at Youhua and then moved his gaze to the window.

At this time, we have left the section of road that was just covered with snow and arrived at an open mountain road. The high mountains in the distance are covered with snow, and the nearby woods are wrapped in silver. It looks as dreamy as a fairy tale world.

As the car bumped along, Zhao Yu, who was tired of the scenery, began to droop his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

"Yujun? Yujun...are we here?"

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Yu slowly opened his eyes when he heard Youhua’s gentle call.

His head was lying on an extremely soft place, which made Zhao Yu reluctant to get up. He turned over gently and buried his face in it, and asked in a muffled voice.

"Where are you?"

"We're at the hot spring hotel. No, don't move!" There was a hint of shyness in Youhua's voice, and she gently pushed Zhao Yu.

Finally, the dazed Zhao Yu finally woke up, and he realized that he had been lying on Youhua's thighs.

No wonder it was so comfortable. It turned out that she was enjoying the knee pillow without realizing it. Then, didn’t she just bury her face in it... Zhao Yu's gaze stayed on Youhua's lower abdomen.

"Still looking! Get up quickly!" Youhua's shy voice came, with a hint of embarrassment on her cute face.

"Oh... I see." Zhao Yu quickly got up and straightened his messy collar.

But Youhua didn't move, and Zhao Yu didn't get up until he waited for a long time.

She was sitting in the aisle, and if Youhua didn't get up, Zhao Yu couldn't leave his seat, so Zhao Yu could only look at Youhua with a puzzled look.

"My legs are numb..." Yuhua said in a low voice with her head down.

Zhao Yu then realized that it couldn't be possible that Youhua had woken up very early and had been resting her head on his lap?

"Why are you so stupid? Why don't you just let me sleep by the window?" Zhao Yu said.

"But it will be very cold by the window, right? What if Yujun catches a cold..." Youhua's voice was still very soft, but it moved Zhao Yu deeply.

She is always like this, paying special attention to some small details. Sometimes Zhao Yu feels that Yuhua is even better at taking care of people than the traditional Yamato Nadeshiko mentioned by Japanese men.

"Then you don't have to keep forcing yourself like this. Don't you feel your legs are sore?" Zhao Yu pinched Youhua's cheek.

"Yujun is just like a little child when he is sleeping. I was fascinated by him without realizing it." Youhua said.

After waking up, Youhua saw Zhao Yu almost sticking to the window. She immediately made a decision and let him half lie on her legs.

She originally planned to let Zhao Yu sleep for a while and then wake him up, but looking at Zhao Yu's sleeping profile, she felt an unprecedented feeling.

I have been telling Zhao Yu to try to rely on himself. Does this count as a success?
Zhao Yu, who was sleeping quietly, was like a boy lying in his sister's arms, which made Youhua very satisfied.

In particular, he would rub himself from time to time, which was very similar to his condition last night.

"Hehe, I kind of have the feeling that I'm becoming my elder sister..." Yuka said out loud her inner thoughts with a smile.

"My sister wouldn't be so embarrassed that she wouldn't even notice her legs were numb." Zhao Yu complained.

"I can't help it. I have to take good care of my brother." Yuka naturally started to get into the role.

"You know what, I really feel like a sister now." Zhao Yu said as he picked up Youhua and put her down until they reached the aisle, then slowly squatted down.

"As a younger brother, I should repay my sister. Come up quickly. Xiaowan and Qigong should be waiting for us."

Youhua lay down behind Zhao Yu without hesitation and put her arms around his neck.

"Let's go! Hot springs... here we come!"

"set off!"

After taking the luggage out of the luggage compartment of the bus, Zhao Yu dragged the suitcase in one hand and carried Youhua on his back as they walked towards the hotel not far away.

This is a hotel surrounded by a fence and looks very traditional. At the entrance of the fence is a wooden sign with the name of the hotel engraved on it, swaying slightly in the wind.

Behind is a whole stretch of snow-capped mountains, and in the courtyard is the still green Welcoming Pine, with the snow on it not completely falling off, making it look very poetic.

"Finally here, aren't you too slow?" Li Qingwan started to complain after seeing Zhao Yu.

"You don't even want to let Yuuka go on this journey? You two are really in love..."

"What? Are you jealous? Why don't you find a boyfriend too?" Zhao Yu teased.

"No, I don't dare to bet that I can be as lucky as Youhua." Li Qingwan shrugged and walked towards the entrance of the hotel with her luggage.

"When taking care of him, you should also pay attention to your own condition first. Don't do this next time." Shiori Nanamiya glanced at Yuka, turned around and followed Li Qingwan.

"See, you've been criticized, right? Don't be so silly anymore." Zhao Yu said.

"It was just a mistake in judgement. I won't do it again next time." Yuhua retorted in a low voice. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to be lectured by her bestie.

"Have you noticed anything wrong?" Looking at Shiori Nanamiya's back, Zhao Yu suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Yuka asked.

"Is Qigong a little too quiet today?"

"She was like this before, but she would talk more with me when we were alone."

"Really?" Zhao Yu thought. The entrance of this hotel is full of ancient neon flavor, just like the samurai residence in the Taiga drama that Zhao Yu saw on Ueno's TV.

As soon as they came in, a waitress and a waiter were already waiting for them. The waiter checked his suitcase and led the way with the waitress.

Led by the waitress, the two walked through a Japanese-style courtyard with a hint of snow and along the corridor to a large house.

"Here is the room you booked. Have a pleasant journey." The waitress bowed slightly and left with the waiter.

"Okay, Yujun, you can put me down now." Youhua said in Zhao Yu's ear.

Zhao Yu put Youhua down, took off his shoes with her and put them away, then walked into the house.

This is just a hall for gatherings. You just need to open the sliding door and you can chat while enjoying the snow scene in the courtyard. It can be said to be very romantic.

After walking through the hall together and opening the door again, they arrived at the room inside.

There were just two bedrooms, one on the left and one on the right. Seeing that the sign "No One" on the left had been turned over, Zhao Yu immediately realized that Li Qingwan and Nanamiya Shiori were inside.

So he had no choice but to take Yuka with him to the bedroom on the right.

After entering, there were tatami mats already laid out and yukatas placed on the tatami. Zhao Yu remembered that there seemed to be such a process.

It would indeed be more convenient to change into a yukata in a hot spring inn, and Yuka's yukata... I'm kind of looking forward to it.

While thinking, Zhao Yu turned his gaze to Youhua. Youhua, who was looking at the yukata, also felt Zhao Yu's gaze. She turned around and looked at Zhao Yu vigilantly.

"Yujun, what do you want to do?"

"Should we change into yukata? Everything is prepared for us." Zhao Yu signaled Youhua with his eyes.

"Don't even think about it, Xiaowan and Shiori are next door..." Youhua rejected Zhao Yu decisively, and pushed him out of the room while closing the sliding door.

"We are already so familiar with each other, is it necessary?" Zhao Yu complained quietly as he walked into the hall.

In front of me was a figure wearing a plain yukata, with her golden hair tied into a bun, revealing her fair and slender neck.

After noticing the movement behind her, Shiori Nanamiya, who was sitting on a cushion, glanced at Zhao Yu and pointed at the cushion next to the tea table.

"Please sit down. Xiaowan is still choosing the patterns she likes. We can just wait for them a little longer."

Zhao Yu sat down cross-legged, poured himself a cup of hot tea and held it in his hands. He sighed softly as if he had thought of something.

“It’s so peaceful…”

"This anime meme is a bit too old." Shiori Nanamiya complained.

"I didn't expect you also understand this." Zhao Yu was a little surprised. He thought that girls like Nanamiya Shiori never watched anime.

"Dian... Japan's two-dimensional industry accounts for a large proportion. It would be impossible for me not to watch it at all, right?" said Shiori Nanamiya.

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't use the six-word mantra on me!" Zhao Yu had a headache.

"happy."

"I can't hold it anymore..."

The two fell silent again. Zhao Yu took a sip of hot tea, looked at the snow scene in the courtyard and spoke.

"You seem to have something on your mind?"

"how do you know?"

"I feel like you've been talking less and less since yesterday. Although you don't talk much usually and you're always silent when you go out to play with us, you're not like this now." Zhao Yu glanced at Nanamiya Shiori.

"I guess so. Yuka happens to be here, and I have some questions to ask you." Nanamiya Shiori nodded slightly, looking at Zhao Yu with a pair of eyes as calm as water.

"Do you really understand what marriage means?"

"Does it mean that no matter what the two of you go through in the future, you have to face it together?"

"No, it's not just that simple." Shiori Nanamiya said seriously.

"Can you really take on the responsibility of another person's life? Marriage is different from dating. It means you have to accept all her imperfections. It's not just a simple statement, but you have to accept it physically and mentally in your daily life year after year."

"I feel like I'm ready for this."

"Are you sure? Do you really understand Yuka? Do you know if she will lose her temper with you because of academic or work problems? Do you know if she will be troubled by the daily necessities of life? Do you know if she will become the person you hate?"

Shiori Nanamiya's question was obviously the result of long consideration, and these details were obviously not something that a girl like her who had never been in love could suddenly think of.

"These things can be overcome. In my opinion, they are not difficult. We have even crossed the distance between countries. How can we be defeated by daily life?" Zhao Yu asked back.

"No, it's precisely because these are daily occurrences that they seem even more difficult to overcome." Shiori Nanamiya shook her head.

"I guess you must think that you and Yuuka are so happy together, and that it will continue after marriage, right? But you forgot one very important thing, and that is time."

"Time is very scary. You are very tolerant of Yuka now, but what about one, two, or even ten years later? Yuka is no longer young and not as considerate as before. Will you still be like this?"

"You will face many more problems in the future than you do now. Let's just talk about Yuhua's studies. Do you plan to let her finish her studies together after marriage or let her drop out directly?"

"I..." Zhao Yu wanted to say something, but stopped when the words reached his lips.

It was only with the reminder from Shiori Nanamiya that he came to his senses from his excitement.

Yes, the trivialities faced after marriage are not as simple as they are now. It means all kinds of responsibilities and conflicts.

This made Zhao Yu a little hesitant. Was he really prepared for everything?
What if, in the future, as time goes by, I no longer have the passion I have now? What if Yuka is also the same and starts to get tired of him?

And Yuhua's studies, if she chooses to drop out, should I support her? If I want her to graduate normally, then is it best to move to Japan to accompany her? After all, once you get married, you will be separated by a foreign country, so what is the difference between being in a relationship and not being in love...

It was at this time that Zhao Yu realized that Youhua’s parents were not the biggest problem in their lives, and there seemed to be more issues to consider.

"You don't have to give me an answer so quickly." Shiori Nanamiya said to Zhao Yu who was in deep thought.

"The reason I'm telling you all this is because I hope that you can be together until old age, just like Grandpa Ueno and Grandma Asamiko... During this period of time, you can think about it carefully and then answer me."

She didn't think Zhao Yu could answer this complicated question so quickly.

On the contrary, if Zhao Yu continued to promise that he could manage the marriage well, that would give Shiori Nanamiya a headache, because promises that cannot be fulfilled are often made without thinking.

The fact that Zhao Yu is now willing to think about this issue seriously at least shows that he cares a lot about his marriage with Youhua.

"I don't know how long it will take for you to get married after your engagement, but if you choose to get married as soon as possible, these questions will definitely need an answer... So, you should think about it carefully."

As she spoke, Shiori Nanamiya looked towards the bedroom.

There was a noise at the door, and it was obvious that the two of them were about to change their clothes.

"Yuka is about to come out, let's talk next time." Shiori Nanamiya slowly stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

As the sliding door opened, Yuka, wearing a pink yukata, slowly walked out. She turned around to show off to Shiori Nanamiya in front of her.

"Is it pretty, Shiori?"

"Yuuka looks good in anything she wears." said Shiori Nanamiya.

"What about me? What about me?" Li Qingwan tugged at Shiori Nanamiya's sleeve.

She was wearing a black yukata with golden patterns on it, which paired with her extremely fair skin that she had developed from staying at home all year round, made her look very visually impactful.

"nice."

"Why do I only have two words? That's not fair! You should say a few more words too!"

"Quite good looking."

"Be serious!"

Li Qingwan still refused to give in.

Watching the three people playing, Zhao Yu's main attention was still focused on Yuka. Today she was indeed as beautiful as Nanamiya Shiori said.

The girl's youth was fully revealed in her. Zhao Yu only now remembered that the girl was only 20 years old and had not yet celebrated her 21st birthday.

Is it too early for her to marry me at such a young age? Can I be sure that I will still be attractive to her in the future?

"Yujun, what are you daydreaming about?"

A pair of hands waved in front of Zhao Yu's eyes. When Zhao Yu came to his senses, Youhua was bending over and looking at him worriedly.

"Nothing, you look so beautiful today." Zhao Yu said.

"Hehe, right! I think this yukata suits me especially well! Yujun, go change quickly too! I already want to go take a hot spring bath." Youhua smiled with satisfaction.

"I understand. I'll go now." Zhao Yu stood up with his hands on the cushion.

There is no point in thinking so much now. There is still some time before the engagement, so it is better to think about it slowly.

Anyway, I have ready-made examples like Grandpa Ueno and Grandma Mamiko around me, so if I really can’t think of the answer, I can just ask them.

If this doesn't work, there's still his mother. If Zhao Yu remembered correctly, his mother was also very sweet with his father when he was still alive.

The two of them were able to be so close in that era when the economy was not so developed. They must have had one or two tricks, right?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu’s confusion temporarily dissipated a little, and he quickly walked into the bedroom.

The first priority today is to make Yuka happy. After all, the present is more important than the distant future.
