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

Chapter 159 Zhao Yu gambled on all future possibilities

After coming to the front desk from the room, the waitress was no longer there. Instead, there was a charming woman with her hair tied in a bun and wearing a gorgeous kimono, looking very elegant.

She leaned one hand on the counter, staring blankly in boredom, until Li Qingwan coughed lightly and she came to her senses.

"It's a guest. What are you preparing to do... Hey? Isn't this the young man from China?!" Glancing at the four people in front of her, the woman's gaze finally stopped on Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was shocked. He thought that no one would notice him in such a place, but he was still discovered.

"I'm the proprietress of this hotel. I've seen you on TV before. You sing really well!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zhao Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he found that she did not show any other expression except praise.

It seemed that the woman who claimed to be the innkeeper had no ill intentions.

"Are you here with Miss Yuka? If I had known earlier, I should have arranged a more luxurious room for you." The proprietress smiled.

"There's no need to do that. Madam boss, just treat us as ordinary tourists." Zhao Yu said quickly.

"Speaking of which, I'm really envious of your affectionate confession to Yuka on TV. If possible, could you sign an autograph for me..." The proprietress leaned forward slightly, revealing her delicate collarbone.

"Yujun, let's go to the hot springs first. Everyone should be tired and need to rest early."

Before the proprietress could finish her words, Youhua had already hugged Zhao Yu's arm and interrupted her.

"Yuka-chan looks a little anxious, so let me take you to the shower area first..." As she said that, the proprietress stood up, glanced at the vigilant Yuka, and raised the corners of her mouth.

Several people followed the proprietress and walked towards the bathroom in the hotel.

You must wash your body before taking a hot spring bath, which is why you will change into a yukata at the beginning.

"Are you jealous?" Zhao Yu looked at Youhua who had been hugging his arms, lowered his head and spoke in her ear.

Zhao Yu's voice made Youhua's ears feel itchy. She couldn't help but shiver, and then she muttered.

"I don't think she's a serious fan, so Yujun should not get in touch with her, okay?"

Zhao Yu was amused by Youhua's remarks. When she got jealous, she was like a primary school student who told her friend not to play with other people.

"Okay, I get it..." Zhao Yu rubbed Youhua's head.

"That's good to know. Yujun can only be mine." Youhua said.

"What about my mother?"

"Well…"

"What about future children?"

"Yu..."

"If I have a second child..."

"Don't say that anymore, you're mine now!" Youhua covered Zhao Yu's mouth in embarrassment.

"Puchi... these two guys are really something." Li Qingwan shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Shiori Nanamiya was watching the interaction between the two, and the worry in her eyes became even more obvious.

The happier you are now, the more painful you will be when you are not prepared in the future, right?

After arriving at the bathroom, Zhao Yu discovered that there was no one else inside except himself, and the entire bathroom was empty.

"There are obviously a lot of people traveling here..." Zhao Yu started washing his hair while muttering to himself.

Come to think of it, it seems that I didn't see any other tourists when I woke up from the bus? There were clearly a lot of people on the bus when I got on it before. Did they all go somewhere else?

Forget it. The environment here seems pretty good for now, so why bother with all that... Putting aside all the messy thoughts, Zhao Yu continued washing.

After he dried his hair and put on his bathrobe again, he stretched and felt the fatigue in his body relieved a little.

"Huh... I finally feel comfortable."

"Have you finished washing? The boy from China..." The sudden voice of the proprietress scared Zhao Yu.

He turned around and found that the woman who looked like a young lady was sitting on a wooden stool beside him, holding a lady's cigarette in her hand and exhaling a puff of smoke with her lips slightly parted.

The originally dignified and generous dress had a hint of contrast with the smoking action, which reminded Zhao Yu of the female boss of a Yakuza organization.

"Isn't the boss lady afraid of safety issues if you smoke here?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but speak.

Although Youhua told Zhao Yu not to bother with the boss lady, it should be okay to remind her about this safety issue, right?

The proprietress raised her head and looked at Zhao Yu for a moment. She smiled, took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then put it out on the chair.

"Forget it, you are a guest, and the customer is God."

"It seems that there are not many gods today..." Zhao Yu complained casually when he saw the cigarette went out.

"There's nothing we can do. Sapporo is so small. Since you're here, why not go to Jozankei, which is known as the back garden of Sapporo? Even if it's a little further away like Noboribetsu, it's better than such an unknown little place." The proprietress was honest and complained about this place mercilessly.

Zhao Yu then remembered that the hot spring ticket seemed to only say Hokkaido Hot Spring, and the address was marked as Sapporo. He thought that as long as it was in Hokkaido, there would be a lot of people.

I didn't expect that there was such a big difference between famous hot springs and ordinary hot spring hotels. No wonder that group of tourists didn't come down with me.

But... this is quite consistent with the setting of the male host of Tokyo TV. Because the TV station is too poor, it is not easy to choose some particularly famous hot springs for bathing.

So after changing clothes, she took over the waitress's role to receive us. Was it because we were the only tourists who came to the hotel during this period?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu suddenly felt a little sympathy for the proprietress.

He could understand why the lady boss dressed up after finally meeting a customer. It seemed that Yuka must have misunderstood her...

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing." Zhao Yu apologized sincerely.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, I'm used to this kind of thing..." the proprietress said calmly.

"..." It sounds like she is a rich woman like Li Qingwan, so I'd better ignore her.

"Hahaha, it's actually quite quiet this way. I guess you, boss lady, just want some peace and quiet, right?" Zhao Yu laughed and began to change the subject.

"No." said the proprietress.

"That's probably because of the dream. It's amazing to persist for the dream. I think one day this place will..." Zhao Yu continued to choose another direction.

"Not really..." the proprietress spoke again.

Zhao Yu subconsciously tried to change the subject twice, but was interrupted by the proprietress both times, which left him at a loss.

"Then why do you insist on running this hotel, boss lady?" He could only ask helplessly.

"Yeah, what am I doing this for?" The proprietress looked into the distance and muttered to herself.

No? You ask me? How do I know this? Zhao Yu complained in his heart.

"Yujun! Are you done washing?" At this time, Youhua's voice finally came from the bathroom door, making Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've already washed and have been waiting for you." Zhao Yu responded.

"Then let's go to the hot spring quickly! I feel a little hungry after taking a shower, so I want to go eat quickly after soaking in the hot spring." Yuhua walked out of the bathroom, her bunted hair still steaming slightly, and it looked like she had just blown it dry.

"Then let's go to the hot springs, everyone...I wish you a pleasant bath."

Zhao Yu turned around and saw that the proprietress had stood up. The slightly melancholy look on her face had disappeared, leaving only her signature business smile.

The hotel's hot spring is located in the mountains behind it. Follow the path behind the hotel and after a short distance you will reach a fork in the road.

"This is the men's bath, and that is the women's bath. You can go in separately now." The proprietress turned around and spoke to everyone.

"Finally, I can take a good bath!" Li Qingwan took the lead and walked towards the women's bath.

"I'll be waiting for you inside, come quickly."

"Then I'll go in, Yujun." Youhua looked at Zhao Yu.

"Well, go ahead. I'll go in too." Zhao Yu nodded and walked towards the men's bath.

After walking into the men's bath from the fork in the road, the view suddenly opened up. In the middle was a hot spring surrounded by piled stones, which was constantly emitting hot steam.

Next to it is white snow, the contrast between cold and hot is very sharp.

After taking off his clothes and placing them in a clothing storage box shaped like a small pavilion next to him, Zhao Yu slowly stepped into the hot spring.

The moment he took off his clothes, his hair stood on end. However, after entering the hot spring and being wrapped in the warm water, he felt relaxed. All his fatigue disappeared and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.

He took the towel beside him, soaked it in water, folded it into a square and placed it on his forehead. Zhao Yu leaned on the edge and felt as if he had arrived in a fairyland.

The comfort of taking a shower just now had already made Zhao Yu very satisfied, but the satisfaction now was at least ten times greater. Only after experiencing it personally could he know what kind of enjoyment this was.

"No wonder whether it is Japan or China, people in cities close to hot springs always like to soak in hot springs..." Zhao Yu whispered to himself.

"I wonder if Yuuka and the others are enjoying it just as much right now."

Meanwhile, the women's bath.

"Wow... It's so cool. I didn't know I could enjoy this kind of thing when I go out!" Li Qingwan only had her head exposed at this time, and her eyes were narrowed into a line due to the comfort.

It was clear from the moment she leaned against the window and observed the snow scene that Li Qingwan's home life was indeed very pure. She had hardly even been to any northern city, otherwise she wouldn't have been so surprised.

Ever since she met Zhao Yu and Youhua, she felt that she had gradually changed from a stay-at-home girl to one who was willing to go out, and she had personally experienced the benefits of going out.

"Who would have thought that a few months ago I was a stay-at-home who never even left the house... Yuuka, what do you think of this hot spring?"

"The hot springs in Hokkaido are really different from those in other places." Yuhua couldn't help but sigh. She raised her head slightly, and before she knew it, tiny snowflakes began to float in the sky.

Before the snowflakes reach their heads, they are melted by the hot steam rising from the hot springs, allowing everyone to enjoy the snow scenery without being bothered by having their hair covered in snowflakes.

There is no other place other than Hokkaido where you can see such a scene in a hot spring, right?
"Shiori, do you think this trip is okay?" Yuka turned around and asked Shiori Nanamiya. She still remembered that Zhao Yu said Shiori Nanamiya was a little weird recently, so Yuka felt that as a best friend, she should pay more attention to her.

"Well, the hot spring is very comfortable, I like it very much." Shiori Nanamiya nodded. She also had a square scarf on her forehead, and her expression was unusually gentle.

"Come to think of it, we finally have the opportunity to take a hot spring bath together. It feels more intimate than a pajama party. Why don't we chat about something like the other girls?" Li Qingwan suddenly suggested.

"Something to talk about..." Youhua repeated Li Qingwan's words, with a hint of contemplation on her face.

The last time we chatted, it seemed that grandma was the one who led the conversation, right? We just followed her words and continued the conversation.

but now…

"I can't seem to think of anything to talk about."

"I can't find any girly topics at all..."

"Yes."

Among the three of them, Youhua is a lonely girl who has no friends in school. Before she met Zhao Yu, she was still trying her best to integrate into the group.

Li Qingwan is a pure, introverted homebody. The most she socializes with is talking nonsense online. She rarely even interacts with girls, so much so that Zhao Yu thought she was a good friend before he met her in person.

Not to mention Shiori Nanamiya, her daily performance alone has discouraged many people who want to make friends with her, and Yuka is always the first to start the conversation when talking about some topics in daily life.

When they were completely separated from Zhao Yu and there was no one else around, they realized that they had never had the experience of chatting face to face like this before.

The three people each said something, which was considered a death sentence for this proposal.

"I should have thought of it earlier. We have no experience in chatting like this. It would be great if Yujun was here." Youhua said in a low voice.

It seems that the topics in her mind are not suitable for discussion right now. Compared with her grandmother, Yuhua feels that the gap is indeed quite big.

"It's not appropriate for Brother Yu to be here, right? After all, this is a women's bath." Li Qingwan complained subconsciously.

"It doesn't matter, if it's Xiaowan." Shiori Nanamiya couldn't help but move her gaze to Li Qingwan's chest which was blocked by the hot spring water.

"If you bully me again, I will secretly add conditions to the contract, okay?" Li Qingwan glared at Nanamiya Shiori.

"Speaking of which, what gift should I give you then?"

As soon as they started talking about Zhao Yu, the topic seemed to open up, and Li Qingwan took the initiative to ask.

"Gift? What gift?" Yuka asked puzzledly.

"An engagement gift? Don't Japanese people give gifts?" Li Qingwan said.

"As for this thing, as long as the thought is there, it's fine. I don't care." Yuhua said after thinking for a while.

"I say, you seem very confident about their future?" Shiori Nanamiya looked at Li Qingwan.

"After engagement, it means marriage, right? Although it's rude to say this, many people, even if they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, will still encounter various problems after marriage. Are Zhao Yu and Youhua really ready?"

"This..." Yuka was a little speechless. She tried her best to consider the words in her mind and prepared to answer Nanamiya Shiori.

"Pfft...your question is really interesting." Li Qingwan laughed.

Nanamiya Shiori looked at Li Qingwan in confusion. After she finished laughing, she continued to speak.

"There is an idiom in China called 杞人忧天, which means a man from Qi is always worried that the sky will fall, so he is very nervous every day. I feel like you are exactly like this story."

"I'm not worrying too much! In fact, there are already many cases in front of us, right? I think they should at least continue to get used to each other and live together for a while." Shiori Nanamiya said with a frown.

"This way, even if problems are discovered, they can be solved in advance, otherwise it will be too late after the actual marriage."

"Don't worry about it..." Li Qingwan shook her head and said to the two of them.

"Did you hear Zhao Yu tell me about signing a contract with me before he came to Neon and took Youhua away?"

"No." Yuka and Nanamiya Shiori spoke together.

"Sure enough, this guy always likes to keep what he has done in his heart. If it were another man, he would probably be eager to show off to the world, right?" Li Qingwan sighed.

This aroused the curiosity of both of them, and they stared at Li Qingwan, waiting for her explanation.

"When I signed Zhao Yu, I gave him a contract that was much better than others, but there was an outrageous condition, and he agreed without even thinking about it," said Li Qingwan.

"What conditions?" Yuka asked.

"I told him that if he breaks up with you or if there is a crisis in his relationship, then the preferential treatment given to him in the contract will be completely invalidated..."

"You may not understand what price he paid. To put it simply... if the problem that Shiori mentioned really occurs, then I can take away all his rights except the copyright of the songs." After a pause, Li Qingwan continued.

"For example, they asked him to take on some advertising jobs, or to license his songs to other people for a very low price, or even asked him to attend some low-level drinking parties. He couldn't refuse any of these!"

"What?" Shiori Nanamiya widened her eyes.

Why didn't Zhao Yu mention this matter when he talked to me before? If he had mentioned it, I wouldn't have said such excessive words to him.

Youhua didn't speak for a long time. Zhao Yu's behavior was simply betting his future on her.

If Youhua had any idea of ​​being a bad woman, Zhao Yu would definitely fall into hell. This kind of trust was simply too reckless.

"Didn't expect it? Brother Yu is such a fool, a fool that even I find unbelievable." Li Qingwan looked at Youhua again.

"That's why I never worry about their future... If a person has completely trusted another person, then who am I to dictate his or her life?"

Shiori Nanamiya was silent for a moment, turned to look at Yuka, and apologized to her seriously.

"I'm sorry, Yuuka..."

"Hey? Why does Shiori want to apologize to me?" Yuka showed a hint of confusion on her face.

"I did something that I thought was smart, but was actually very stupid." Shiori Nanamiya began to tell Yuka about the conversation she had just had with Zhao Yu.

A few minutes later, having explained everything clearly, Shiori Nanamiya continued speaking.

"I think he's probably worried about whether it will affect your future choices. It's all my fault."

Only now did she understand that the reason Zhao Yu couldn't answer her before was not because he himself couldn't make a choice, but because he couldn't make a choice for Youhua.

From beginning to end, he never considered any of his own problems and was always thinking about Yuka.

"I should have understood long ago that since he gave up on the first promotion and chose to confess his love to you with the album, he wouldn't do anything excessive in the future." Shiori Nanamiya murmured to herself.

At this time, Yuka had completely ignored what she said. At this moment, there was only one thought left in Yuka's mind.

Zhao Yu gambled all his future possibilities for her...

"Why is this guy so stupid?" Yuhua muttered to herself, no longer wanting to continue soaking in the bath.

There was a splash of water, and she stood up from the hot spring, hurriedly wrapped herself in a towel, and picked up her bathrobe.

The wooden clogs made a clattering sound as they hit the ground. Shiori Nanamiya did not look back, but just sat in the hot spring blankly, her eyes full of regret.

"I was just too full of myself."

"It's okay, An Xin... Aren't you doing this for their own good?" Li Qingwan moved to her side and touched Shiori Nanamiya's smooth golden hair.

"Believe me, their relationship is stronger than either of us imagined, and they will not let anyone down."

"I'm sorry, Xiaowan. If I had been more frank and communicated with you first, this wouldn't have happened." Shiori Nanamiya looked a little dejected.

"There's no sincerity in this apology. You should show your breasts when you apologize!" Li Qingwan suddenly changed the subject.

"This, this... okay..." A look of embarrassment flashed across Shiori Nanamiya's face, and she slowly straightened up.

"Damn it! Why are you so sexy?" Li Qingwan let out a wail.

She was just joking around to distract Shiori from her sadness, but now she is no longer sad. Her sadness has been transferred to the face of the person who should go...

At the same time, on the path outside the hot spring, Youhua ran towards the men's bath at a quick pace. She felt that she had a lot to say to Zhao Yu.

When she arrived at the door of the men's bath, she found that the proprietress was talking to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu gave her a note.

What is Yujun doing? Is he being...Yuhua's mind flashed through her mind, but she quickly denied it.

Impossible! Yujun would never do such a thing... I'd better talk to him first. The most urgent thing now is to express my feelings.

Thinking of this, Yuka quickly came in front of the two of them.

"Ah~ We were just chatting about Miss Yuka, and you came here." A smile appeared on the proprietress's face.

"Yujun, come with me! I have something to say to you..." Youhua said breathlessly.

"Don't be anxious, take your time... Brother Huaxia, the place I told you about may finally come in handy now, right?" The proprietress winked at Zhao Yu.

"Huh?" Youhua tilted her head with a hint of confusion on her face.

A moment later, in another hot spring, Zhao Yu and Youhua sat face to face, looking at each other in silence.

What's going on? How did she suddenly come here with Yujun? Youhua was a little confused now.

I recalled what the boss lady said just now...

"Although this place is not as good as Jozankei and Noboribetsu Onsen, there is a mixed bathing pool that has been passed down for a long time. It is said that men and women who bathe together here will eventually live happily ever after."

It seemed that she said this, so Yujun and I followed her here.

No, even if I'm a little shy, I should speak out what's in my heart, Yuka made up her mind.

However, at this moment, the silent Zhao Yu suddenly moved.

His eyes were fixed on Yuka's chest, and he hesitated for a long moment before speaking.

"I've always been curious about one thing, is... can it really float?"
