Chapter 163 Sakura Sakura wants to see you

Outside the Western-style building, Zhao Yu was pacing, seemingly waiting for something.

He heard hurried footsteps and quickly looked up. Youhua was trotting to the iron-railed courtyard wall.

The two of them stared at each other across the bars, like prisoners in prison.

"Close-up!" The bearded director spoke to the cameraman beside him, and the camera quickly zoomed in, with the two people's half bodies occupying the entire frame.

"My vision was correct..."

Seeing the two people in the frame, the bearded director showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Their appearance doesn't change at all under the camera. Instead, it becomes even better because of the lighting and filters. It's a pity that they are not actors.

As long as there are no problems with them, they can definitely add a lot of color to their TV series.

"Mr. Mochizuki, long time no see." Youhua stretched out her hand from the railing and held Zhao Yu's hand tightly, acting very naturally.

As they are a couple, there is naturally no need for any performance to express their feelings like this; it is completely instinctive.

"Aoi, you've lost weight..." Zhao Yu stroked Youhua's cheek with his other hand.

"That's because I've been missing Mochizuki-kun." There was a hint of longing in Yuka's eyes.

This kind of scene always feels a bit like when I was locked up at home by my father...

At that time, I missed Yu Jun so much and wanted to meet him right away.

"I'm sorry, if my book could be published, maybe your father wouldn't..."

"No matter whether Mochizuki-kun becomes famous or not, my love for him will never change." Yuka shook her head subconsciously while reciting the lines.

This made the bearded director, who had been observing the two people's performance, smile even more brightly.

Such an emotional performance is much better than the extras we invited. It’s a sure thing now!

"sunflower…"

"Mochizuki-kun, why don't you take me away right now? Let's go to Tokyo, where my father can't find me!"

"But……"

"As long as you're here, anywhere is better than here."

As Yuka spoke, she followed the instructions in the script, flipped over the bricks on the side to the railing, and then jumped down.

Zhao Yu hurried forward and quickly caught her in a princess hug.

"Is it like that night?" Zhao Yu whispered in Youhua's ear while the bearded director wasn't paying attention.

"Hehe~" Youhua no longer called the name of the character played by Zhao Yu, and her eyes curved into crescents in his arms.

"Keep saying your lines. Don't forget we're still filming."

Youhua did not forget what she was doing and reminded Zhao Yu as soon as the whisper ended.

After putting Youhua down, Zhao Yu looked at her and spoke while recalling the lines.

"If I take you away like this, you will only suffer with me."

"But if we don't run away, Dad won't agree for us to be together now..."

"That's right, how can a mere lowly person be worthy of my daughter?" The actor who played Aoi's father came out.

"Dad? Why are you back so early?"

"Hmph! If I hadn't come back early, you would have left already. As the eldest daughter of the Shirakawa family, how could you be with such a poor person!" The actor's dialogue skills are very solid, and he mobilized the emotions of the two people with just one or two sentences.

Yuka really felt as if she saw Ueno Masao. She clenched her fists with a hint of stubbornness on her face.

"I just like Mochizuki-kun, I want to be with him no matter what!"

Even though she was just reciting lines, isn't this also what Yuka wanted to say to Masao Ueno?

In fact, before she came back, she had already prepared herself mentally to confront Ueno Masazō, but she did not expect that she and Zhao Yu would be fully supported by Ueno Shinichiro.

"Oh? Being with him? He seems to have never made up his mind? He didn't even respond to you seriously." A trace of contempt appeared on the face of the head of the Shirakawa family.

"I've seen many people who call themselves scholars like this. They are just cowards without guts!"

As he spoke, the head of the Shirakawa family waved his hand, and several servants behind him were about to step forward to take Yuka away.

According to the original script, Zhao Yu, who played Mochizuki, should have acted very cowardly at this time, and then watched Yuka, who played Aoi, being taken away.

So Zhao Yu chose to stand where he was, watching the servant getting closer and closer, and grabbed Youhua's hand.

"Let me tell you. So-called literati are like this. They say sweet words, but when the critical moment comes, they don't even have the courage to resist!" said the head of the Shirakawa family.

A mocking smile appeared on the servants' faces at the right time, and Youhua turned to look at Zhao Yu with some despair.

"Mochizuki-kun, just think of it as a good thing for me, take me away!"

"He doesn't have the courage. After all, as a poor man, how could he dare to resist the nobles?"

"Mochizuki-kun!"

Yuhua's voice was sad and contained a hint of disappointment, which made Zhao Yu look a little dazed.

I know it's an act and it's not real, but why can't I control myself whenever I see this expression on Yuka's face?

What kind of man is it to watch the person you love being taken away like this?

Who cares if there is a script or not? At worst, I can just not shoot it. I don’t want to see Yuka so sad!

"Stop touching my girl! Since you are a servant, you should act like a servant!" Zhao Yu suddenly grabbed the hand of the actor playing the servant.

"Huh?" Yuka and the others were stunned.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Yu protected Youhua behind him again.

"I'm going to take her away today. I don't want to see who can stop me." There seemed to be flames flashing in Zhao Yu's eyes.

"The script isn't like this, isn't it?" Patriarch Shirakawa reminded quietly.

In the script, Zhao Yu should have watched Youhua being taken away, returned to his residence in disappointment, and continued to write his novel.

Finally, a few months later, Yuuka, who was married to someone else by him, committed suicide in her room, but as a nobleman, he did not believe that his daughter would commit suicide like this, so he hired the protagonist of the TV series who was a detective.

The only subsequent plot for the character played by Zhao Yu is that after his novel became famous, he was investigated as a suspect by the protagonist.

But now that this has happened, what should we do next?
The head of the Shirakawa family looked at the bearded director with a look of help.

The bearded director next to him stared at Zhao Yu with great interest. He noticed that there was genuine emotion in this man's eyes, and he changed his mind in an instant.

"Go on!" he said to the actors.

After hearing what the bearded director said, the head of the Shirakawa family had no choice but to improvise.

"A lowly pauper, with such a big mouth!"

"You are just bragging, just try it. If you want to take Aoi away from me, I will have to die!"

"Then I'll grant your wish..." As the head of the Shirakawa family spoke, the servants finally reacted and surrounded him again.

"Stop! If you keep forcing me, Dad, I will die right now in front of you!" Yuhua gradually got more and more into the role and said excitedly.

"Aoi...you..." The head of the Shirakawa family looked a little ugly.

"Do you know how difficult the future will be with a guy like this?"

"So what? Maybe I would live a good life if I married someone else, but I would definitely not be happy." Yuka shook her head.

"If you can't feel happiness, no matter how good your body is, your soul will be empty, just like a walking corpse..."

"Up to now, you are the one answering me, but this kid hasn't said a word. Is this what you call happiness?" asked the head of the Shirakawa family.

"Want to hear what I say? Then I'd be disrespectful to refuse." Zhao Yu stepped forward and spoke.

"I can't guarantee that Aoi will be able to live the same life as she does now, but I will do my best to do it, even if I face all kinds of difficulties."

"Maybe in your eyes, Aoi has been suffering with me all the time, but I believe that as long as we love each other, everything is just a little bit of hardship in life."

"I have always seen how much Aoi has devoted to me. All I can do is to work a hundred times harder and repay her expectations in the end."

"Life is like this. No one can be sure of the future, but if Aoi is here, I won't give up so easily. Before this, I can't say what achievements I will make in the future, but what is certain is that one day in the future, Aoi will smile and say to me: It turns out that we have been through so many things together..."

"It's true that I'm poor, but I also have a most precious treasure that no one else has, and that is Aoi's unwavering choice."

"With a treasure like this, I won't fall!"

"Oh! This is what a man should be like! To ignite his fighting spirit for the woman he loves!" The bearded director couldn't help but clench his fists.

Zhao Yu's performance was very powerful, which infected him. It was obviously a loser script, but after Zhao Yu's change, it actually became a bit passionate.

"Anyone can say nice things, but if you can do it, at least you have to make a name for yourself and show it to me..." The head of the Shirakawa family was stunned for a while, and finally chose to give him a chance.

This is the end of this storyline.

"Director, if we continue to change it like this, how will the plot develop next?"

When the filming stopped, the actor who played the head of the Shirakawa family, Aoi's father, came to the bearded director and asked.

"Should I stay here any longer? There's a schedule conflict..."

He is just a minor role and has other dramas to take on, so he doesn't want to continue spending any more time on this drama.

"That's true, but... it would be a pity if it was deleted..." The bearded director frowned.

He believes that if we dig deeper into this part, it can still attract some housewives, especially Zhao Yu's appearance and his lines.

"Wait a moment!" said the bearded director, running to the screenwriter.

Yuhua, who was watching the director's actions, came to Zhao Yu and gently poked his arm.

"Why are you suddenly not following the script? The director is having a headache."

"There's no other way. I really can't just watch you being taken away like this and do nothing." Zhao Yu sighed.

"It's just acting. You have to differentiate between reality and the script, okay? Yujun." Youhua smiled. How could he be so stupid?
"I know it's a script, but no matter whether it's a script or reality, I will make this choice." Zhao Yu lowered his head and looked at Youhua.

"Idiot...you have never been indifferent, right? On the contrary, my courage all comes from you." Youhua reached out and pinched Zhao Yu's nose.

"Anyway, if the director comes over later, apologize to him and see if you can do it again. Don't be so willful this time!"

"I know. Don't treat me like a child." Zhao Yu muttered.

"Who made you so childish? Little Zhao Yu..." Youhua teased.

"Come, lower your head and let Sister Yuhua touch your head. If you don't make any mistakes, I will give you a reward tonight."

"Talking about the rewards in detail, I suddenly feel that the script is not impossible to follow."

"The speed of your transformation is really amazing..."

The two of them just chatted one after another.

Finally, the bearded director and the screenwriter came to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, director. I was a little too immersed in the role just now. If I shoot it again, I won't make the same mistake again." Zhao Yu said to the director.

Yuhua has already said there will be rewards, so shouldn’t we work hard to be an extra?
"No, no, no, there is no need to reshoot. Your performance just now made me change my mind. The plot will continue at this pace. Just make some slight changes to the follow-up." said the director.

"Ahem, you two, the new plot is this..." Under the instructions of the bearded director, the screenwriter re-explained the new plot to Youhua and Zhao Yu.

The character who died in the script was Aoi, played by Yuka, but the director has changed her to the head of the Shirakawa family, but Yuka will still be filmed later.

This time it was not suicide, but there was a murderer, and the murderer was set to be the butler of the Shirakawa family.

He is the culprit who prompted Aoi to elope, and is also a sinister villain who has always coveted the Shirakawa family's property.

The reason why he wanted Aoi and Mochizuki to elope was because it would be convenient for him to poison the head of the Shirakawa family, and when they went far away, the Shirakawa family would be his. But because of the hesitation of the head of the Shirakawa family, Aoi did not leave as he wanted, and in the end he could only attack Aoi and the head of the Shirakawa family together, and put the blame on Mochizuki who had just successfully published a book.

Later, the protagonist, who was a detective, found out the truth, but it was too late. Aoi finally died in Mochizuki's arms.

"Is Kui still going to die in the end?" Zhao Yu frowned.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, we're just extras, and there are a lot more plots now, right?" Yuka said in a low voice.

"Okay...I understand." Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yu nodded.

----

At dusk, snowflakes slowly fell and landed on Zhao Yu's head.

He looked at Yuka, who was dying in his arms, with a heavy expression on his face.

"Aoi, I'm late."

"It's okay, as long as Wangyue comes to pick me up."

Youhua reached out and brushed the snowflakes off Zhao Yu's shoulders.

"It's just... I won't be able to see the day when Mochizuki-kun becomes truly famous, what a pity..."

"No, it will definitely work, Aoi! Just hold on, the doctor will be here soon, and you're going to marry me! We're going to live together for a long time... Aoi!"

As Zhao Yu called out again and again, Youhua's hands finally fell weakly to the ground.

"Cut! Very good! This is the feeling I want!" The bearded director shouted to stop.

Since the two were invited to make guest appearances on his whim, the bearded director has been seizing the time to film their scenes today.

Fortunately, they understood the idea quickly and finished filming all the scenes by dusk.

The bearded director also believes that compared to the cowardly extra Mochizuki, this Mochizuki who works hard for his beloved but still loses her in the end is more attractive.

"You have a real talent for being an actor, young man." The bearded director came up to Zhao Yu and praised him.

Zhao Yu also didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and just stood there in a daze until Youhua hugged him tightly.

"I didn't leave you, Yujun, don't worry... I was just acting."

Just like coaxing a child, Youhua and Zhao Yu clung to each other, trying to give him a little warmth.

"It's acting..." Zhao Yu muttered to himself.

Zhao Yu's eyes gradually became clear. He was actually a very empathetic person, so at that moment he really felt that he was going to lose Youhua.

Perhaps only Wang Yue in the script could empathize with him in that heart-wrenching pain? This is also why the bearded director thought he was talented.

"Of course it's acting. We will always be happy until we grow old. I promise." Yuka said softly.

The artificial snowflakes had not stopped falling yet, and were falling on Youhua and Zhao Yu's heads, as if they had really grown old together.

"Brother, you and your girlfriend are really in love..." the bearded director couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder I have such deep feelings for her. It turns out I have been putting myself into the story seriously all along.
This tidbit seems to be able to be edited in? Maybe it can even attract some attention? Thinking of this, the bearded director was about to ask Zhao Yu for his opinion.

However, at this moment, a humming sounded suddenly...

"What's going on?"

This made the bearded director stop what he was doing and listen to Zhao Yu's singing carefully.

"The day is the same as the time and the place is the king's meeting, and the servants are waiting for the two people to see each other..."

The song was very short and it didn't take long to finish, but the lyrics made the bearded director fall into deep thought.

There is no other reason, it's just that this song is too appropriate for the occasion.

The last sentence: "On that day, at that time, in that place...if I had not met you, we would always be strangers." This sentence perfectly fits the love between Mochizuki and Aoi.

"This is incredible!" The bearded director's eyes lit up.

If this song was inserted into the plot, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake?

Without any hesitation, the bearded director quickly came to Zhao Yu and asked for his opinion.

After getting Zhao Yu's nod, he couldn't help but cheer.

"What's the name of this song, bro?" asked the bearded director.

"Let's call it Sudden Love." Zhao Yu spoke softly, recalling the name of the song in his memory.

He couldn't help singing this song. His thought at that time was that if he hadn't met Yuka, then perhaps he would never be as happy as he is now?

"What the hell is wrong with Brother Yu's brain? He came up with another song... Isn't that amazing?"

Not far away, Li Qingwan, who had silently witnessed the whole process, smacked her lips and sighed.

"The filming should be finished, let's go over there quickly."

She glanced at Shiori Nanamiya and Rina, motioned them to follow her, and then walked towards Zhao Yu on her own.

As Zhao Yu's supervisor and boss, she still needs to decide the song licensing fee.

After a while, Li Qingwan began to discuss the song and Zhao Yu's performance fee with the bearded director, while Zhao Yu and Youhua sat on a bench nearby, staring blankly.

"Yuhua... It's great to meet you." After a long silence, Zhao Yu spoke.

"I've heard this sentence countless times." Yuhua complained.

"Because the longer I spend with you, the more I feel that this sentence expresses my true thoughts." Zhao Yu said.

"Don't worry, no one can separate us." Youhua didn't know how to answer Zhao Yu, so she just held his fingers tightly.

"You two... go on!"

Along with Shiori Nanamiya's voice, two cans of hot drinks came along.

Zhao Yu raised his head and found that the girl was looking at him and Youhua.

"You've been filming for so long, it must be cold, right? Drink something hot." said Shiori Nanamiya.

"Thank you." Zhao Yu expressed his gratitude and opened the can of drink.

This tastes like... red bean soup?
"No need to thank me. I was just worried that Yuuka would catch a cold. You were just a byproduct." Shiori Nanamiya said proudly.

"Oh, by the way... Don't you want the answer? I should be able to tell you now." Zhao Yu suddenly remembered.

"Yujun, you haven't told me what's going on. What did you agree with Shiori?" Yuka asked.

"Well...it's not that complicated to explain." Zhao Yu began to explain to Yuka, and only looked at Nanamiya Shiori after he finished explaining.

"So I'm telling you now?"

"No need..." Shiori Nanamiya shook her head.

"Hmm?" Zhao Yu was a little confused.

"Didn't you say that when you were performing just now? I really like what you said..." Shiori Nanamiya's mouth corners slightly raised.

"As Yuuka's hero, you must not fall."

"Absolutely not..." Zhao Yu nodded.

"Huh! We've discussed it! The director will contact us when we return to Nara. I really admire you. You can make money while having fun." Li Qingwan's voice came before she even arrived.

"We can go back and rest now. It's already so late and I'm starving... Hey? Where's Sister Lina?"

After hearing Li Qingwan's words, Zhao Yu realized that Lina seemed to be missing. He stood up and looked around, but did not see Lina.

"Could it be that he went back?" Yuka said.

"This shouldn't be possible? All of us guests haven't left yet, how could she leave first?" Li Qingwan said.

"I'll go ask the staff next to us." Shiori Nanamiya said.

------

In the town's cemetery, Lina looked at the tombstone in front of her with a trace of nostalgia on her face.

"You said it would be great if I hadn't met you. I wouldn't be trapped here forever."

Looking at the photo of the man on the tombstone, she lit a cigarette.

The song Zhao Yu just sang brought back all her long-suppressed thoughts, so she secretly left the others and came here.

"Puchi, I was just kidding... How could I bear to become a stranger with you?" As if someone was really talking to her, Rina slowly squatted down and stroked the photo on the tombstone.

"Silly boy, I never regret meeting you, okay? I just... miss you so much." As she spoke, Lina's voice was a little choked.

"Hokkaido is so cold... I haven't felt a warm embrace for a long time."

Zhao Yu has Youhua, who else can she hug? While hoping that they will be happy, Lina also wants to have a chance to hug her lover again.

"Yujun... Sister Lina..."

Yuka came here under the guidance of the staff, and looked at Rina squatting in front of the tombstone and didn't know what to do.

"Compared to her, we are really lucky." Zhao Yu sighed, gently rubbed Youhua's head, and then slowly walked towards Lina.

He didn't know how to comfort Lina, but there was a song that might make her feel better.

さくらさくら会いたいよ (Sakura Sakura, I want to see you)

I want to see you now

It's okay, don't cry anymore
Private wind, あなたを包んでいるよ (I am the breeze, surrounding you)

The gentle voice made Lina pause and she listened to Zhao Yu's singing silently.

This song is not actually about love, but about a father's longing for his daughter after he lost her.

But for Lina, her lover is also a relative. The feeling of losing someone is similar.

Zhao Yu had no other good idea. If the song just now made her miss her lover, then he could only use another song to comfort her.

Maybe just like what is described in this song, Rina's lover has actually been silently protecting her in heaven.

"Thank you..." After a long silence, Lina finally stood up and thanked Zhao Yu.

"It's okay. Everyone is worried about you, Sister Lina." Zhao Yu said, looking at the people from Youhua who were slowly walking towards him.

Rina followed Zhao Yu's gaze and saw obvious concern in the eyes of Yuhua, Li Qingwan and Nanamiya Shiori.

"This is so weird. You guys have only known me for two days." Lina muttered to herself.

"The length of time does not represent the quality of a relationship. At least you have always taken care of us, right? So... we can't ignore you." Zhao Yu said.

"Sister Lina, don't be sad, let's go back together..." Li Qingwan came to Lina first and hugged her arm.

"Let's go back together, Sister Rina." Yuka hugged Rina's other arm.

Looking at the two lively and lovely girls in front of her, Lina felt a little warm in her heart.

"Well, let's go back together..."

ありがとうずっと大好き, privy star, あなたを见修り続ける. (Thank you very much, I am the stars and will always protect you)

Zhao Yu’s humming just now sounded in her mind, and Lina looked up at the sky.

At dusk, the sky was dyed a beautiful orange-red, and she seemed to see the smile of her lover vaguely.

Don't worry, this is the last time I will be weak, I will never make you worry again...

Now, it's time to move on... I will carry your share with me and live on with strength.
