Chapter 85: Formal Confession! (5k)

[No? After watching the fireworks for a while, why did you sneak away? ]

[Brother Yu, why don't you let Youhua do the live broadcast? You're just making us watch a dark mess, which is a bit too boring]

"Don't shout. Didn't you say you felt it was a pity to miss the chance to confess? Actually, I haven't confessed yet..." Zhao Yu glanced at the barrage of comments, then placed the phone on a stone beside him and secured it.

[No confession? I thought you guys had already confessed in private]

[I see! Brother Yu is waiting for us to be witnesses, right? You understand the sense of ceremony.]

[No wonder you kept pretending to be stupid even though we asked you for so long, so this is the reason]

The comments were still rolling, but Zhao Yu didn't have time to read them. After all, Yuhua was only distracted by the fireworks, and she would soon realize that she was gone, so he had to hurry.

After struggling to move a battery out, Zhao Yu bent down and began to look for something on the ground.

【What are you doing? 】

[Could it be that Brother Yu really came to this place to rob tombs? ]

[I am dying of laughter. He is taking his girlfriend to watch fireworks while robbing tombs. If this is true, I will pay attention to it. It is a great show! ]

Since the cell phone was placed on a stone on the side, Zhao Yu had no means of lighting.

Because the bamboo forest blocked the moonlight, what he could see was very limited, but fortunately he was very familiar with this place and finally found what he wanted.

Zhao Yu carefully picked up a wire from the ground, connected it to the battery, and then picked up another wire from the other side.

He breathed a sigh of relief after both wires were connected.

"Phew...Luckily the location is right by the river at the edge of the bamboo forest, otherwise I would probably still be looking for it now."

【So what is it exactly? 】

[So curious…]

【How about giving us a spoiler in advance? 】

The barrage of comments was aroused by Zhao Yu's actions.

Such strange actions even confused the Ueno family who were watching Zhao Yu’s live broadcast in Neon.

"Hmph! Such a flashy thing... This guy might have ulterior motives. I'd better go and bring Yuka back as soon as possible." Ueno Masazō snorted coldly.

Bang! A crisp sound was heard, and Ueno Shinichiro retracted his cane and glanced at Ueno Masazō who was covering his head.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Now you bring Yuka back? I'm afraid you will use your father's authority to order her around again?"

"That's better than being cheated by this kid, right? Look at these things he has been planning for some time!" Ueno Masazō muttered softly.

"It's normal to have some little thoughts in love. Didn't you steal my brush and give it to Sayuri?" Ueno Shinichiro said unhappily.

It's a bit funny to talk about this. When Sayuri Ueno hadn't married yet, she just said politely that she thought Nara was a good place and the brushes were made very beautifully.

As a result, Masazō Ueno simply stole the brush from the Heian period that the old man had collected.

After giving it to Sayuri Ueno, Sayuri Ueno was also confused. Wasn't this just a courtesy? Why did he give it directly to her?
For this reason, Sayuri Ueno even learned calligraphy in private, for fear that saying she didn't like it would make Masao Ueno sad.

Later, after she got married, she made this matter public, which made Ueno Mamiko laugh for a long time.

Shinichiro Ueno didn't understand why he was so smart but his son was like a wooden lump. If Sayuri Ueno hadn't fallen in love with this guy, Yuka probably wouldn't have been born yet.

"Dad... mine is different, I'm sincere... How can a gift from the heart be the same as this?" Ueno Masazō showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and instinctively began to be stubborn.

"He has been preparing for so long, can't he prove that he is sincere?" asked Shinichiro Ueno.

This left Ueno Masazo speechless. In the end, he could only glare at Zhao Yu who was debugging something, snorted twice and stopped talking.

"Keep watching. I think this guy is quite interesting. The surprise just now was very thoughtful. I think he won't disappoint us this time, right?" Mamiko Ueno smiled as she wore reading glasses.

Watching her granddaughter fall in love made her feel like she was back in her youth. Shinichiro Ueno was also so considerate at that time.

Thinking of this, Mamiko Ueno quietly reached out and held Shinichiro Ueno's hand.

"Well... just keep watching. I'm too lazy to scold you." Ueno Shinichiro's body tensed up, he coughed lightly and spoke as if nothing had happened.

The live broadcast was still going on at this time. After confirming that there was no problem with the line connection, Zhao Yu came to the stone where the mobile phone was placed and picked up the phone.

"What is this? You will know soon. Anyway, I am quite lucky to find this thing in the countryside." Zhao Yu subconsciously glanced at the bamboo next to him.

The bamboo forest swayed gently at night, and you could vaguely see something tied to the bamboo.

"Everything is almost ready. It's time to go back to find Youhua." Zhao Yu muttered to himself, turned around and walked towards the small bridge.

----

"What's over there?" Yuhua was a little confused. She turned her head to the side, and there was only a path on the opposite bank and houses with lights flashing in the distance.

"Not here, but on the other side. I seem to see Zhao Yu doing something..." Shiori Nanamiya reminded.

Just now when she was watching the fireworks with Youhua, she saw Zhao Yu running to the bamboo forest beside the bridge.

Although she didn't know what to do, Shiori Nanamiya still instinctively reminded Yuka.

When Youhua turned to the other side, she saw Zhao Yu coming back with his cell phone.

"Yujun, where did you go just now?" Youhua asked.

"We didn't go anywhere. The audience just wanted to see if there was anything else in this bamboo forest besides the river," said Zhao Yu.

【I am not I don't have】

[We never said this, don’t take the blame from us]

The barrage of comments immediately began to refute, but now the phone was with Zhao Yu, so even if they refuted Yuhua, they wouldn't be able to see it.

"Oh, is there anything fun over there?" Yuka asked casually.

She was very surprised after seeing the fireworks. Her originally depressed mood was swept away and she naturally became lively.

"Does it count as I just discovered fireflies?" Zhao Yu said.

"You want to trick me again, but I won't be fooled this time!" Youhua would never believe Zhao Yu's nonsense.

He just said specifically that there are fireflies here in the summer but they cannot be seen in the winter. Now he suddenly changes his words. Even if he lies, he should be careful about what he said before, right?

"I didn't lie to you, it's over there..." Zhao Yu pointed to the bamboo beside the bridge.

"There are still some over there, but there are too few of them. You can't see them if you are far away."

Seeing Zhao Yu so confident, Youhua became a little skeptical. She seemed to have seen on the Internet that there is a kind of firefly that appears in winter, but it has extremely high requirements for its living environment.

Such a rare scene naturally aroused Yuka's curiosity.

She even forgot that she was still on a video call with Shiori Nanamiya and ran over to the direction Zhao Yu pointed.

But when we arrived at the bridge, apart from the sparse bamboos on the edge and a few large rocks, there were only reeds swaying in the wind by the river.

The only lights in the night sky were the cell phone and the sparse starlight shining through the gaps in the bamboo forest.

"Damn it!" Youhua stomped her feet lightly, quickly turned around and shouted at Zhao Yu who was slowly walking towards her.

"Yujun, you big liar! You're lying again!"

"I didn't lie to you..." Zhao Yu came to Youhua and touched her head.

"You ran too fast and scared the fireflies away. Close your eyes and wait for a while, they should come out."

"really?"

"Really? If you lie, I'll never see you again."

"No, no! This punishment is too severe!" Yuhua quickly shook her head.

If she couldn't see Zhao Yu, she would go crazy and she would definitely not agree to this kind of punishment.

"What do you think, Youhua? What kind of punishment is good?" Zhao Yu asked.

"How about... punishing Yujun to carry me back home?" Youhua thought for a moment and spoke. But before Zhao Yu agreed, she rejected the punishment herself.

"No, no, Yujun carried me on his back when we came here, and it would be too much to ask him to carry me back again."

It’s such a difficult decision. Youhua’s little face wrinkled. She wanted Zhao Yu to pay the price for lying, but she didn’t want Zhao Yu to be tired or suffer other injuries.

"I got it! If Yujun is lying, then you must take me to find the panda tomorrow, otherwise you are not allowed to go home! Is that okay?" Youhua said with her eyes lighting up.

"Well... that's fine too." Zhao Yu was stunned. He hasn't forgotten about the panda yet?
It seems that I have to think of a solution tomorrow. If not, I can take Youhua to the Chengdu Zoo to see the pandas. We have to go there sooner or later anyway.

"Okay, then I'll trust you again." Yuhua nodded and closed her eyes.

【What are you doing... woc! 】

[No? What did I see? ]

[Great! Is there such a thing? ]

Not only the barrage, but even the Ueno family and Shiori Nanamiya showed surprised expressions at the same time.

"Okay, open your eyes, Youhua." Zhao Yu said softly.

Youhua slowly opened her eyes, and dots of fluorescent green light appeared and disappeared in the bamboo forest. The dark environment around her was illuminated, making it look dreamy.

"Is this really a firefly?" Yuhua widened her eyes and instinctively wanted to catch one in her hand.

But at this time, Zhao Yu grabbed Youhua's hand and looked into her eyes seriously.

"Yuuka, I have something to tell you."

【Are you coming? 】

【Finally, the power is coming! 】

[Hahaha, a confession that is welcomed! ]

"What, what?" Even though her attention had just been attracted by the fireflies that Zhao Yu had brought out from somewhere, Youhua instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

In such a romantic atmosphere, Yu Jun suddenly became serious. Could he?
"Actually, I have kept this sentence in my heart for a long time." Zhao Yu continued.

"I have never been in love, and I have never thought about what kind of love I would experience..."

"In my opinion, life is actually just plain and simple. Marry a woman who doesn't like you but doesn't hate you either, and have a child who is neither good nor bad."

"I actually envy my parents for being so loving, but times have changed. It is actually very difficult to find a lover like this to spend your life with."

Whether it is Japan or China, love is becoming cheaper and cheaper nowadays, as if the words "I love you" are just the beginning of the relationship rather than the outburst of accumulated love.

Zhao Yu hated this kind of love, but he had to accept it because his mother wanted to see him happy.

Sometimes he thought, why not just go on a blind date and find someone to marry in the future, after all, many people have gone through this.

But there was always a voice in his heart asking him, is he really willing to do this?

He was unwilling to accept it, but what could he do? Insisting on liking each other had already made them an outlier.

The reason why most people are together may not be that they like each other enough, but that the other person treats them well and seems to be suitable.

Zhao Yu kept struggling with this, and when he was about to compromise, he met Youhua.

This girl also likes Kamen Rider, also likes Akina Nakamori, and even has the same dream of being a hero in her heart.

He had never had this feeling before, that a person could be so in tune with another person he had never met before.

At this moment he understood that love at first sight exists.

"I read a book which said that there are 20,000 people in this world who will fall in love with you at first sight. Unfortunately, you may not meet any of them in your lifetime. Love at first sight is not magic, it is fate." Zhao Yu looked at Youhua seriously.

"I am very lucky. When I almost stopped believing in fate, I met a girl who was just mine."

"She has the same hobbies as me. Although she is sometimes silly and makes me feel that she is easy to deceive, she is like the sun, warming the people around her at other times."

"For the first time, I feel that life shouldn't be like this. Sometimes you should grab what you should grab, so... I like you, Yuka, are you willing to be with me?"

Zhao Yu's words echoed in Youhua's ears, and Youhua suddenly felt herself becoming light and as if she was about to fly.

My head felt dizzy as if it was hit by something, and the only thing that kept playing in my mind was the words "I love you" on a loop.

Yujun has never forgotten to confess his feelings to me, he always remembers it!
"So, what's your answer? Yuhua..." Looking at Yuhua who didn't say a word, Zhao Yu felt a little nervous.

Although Yuka had been so proactive before, he was still not sure whether Yuka would agree to him.

at the same time…

"Promise him, promise him..." Nanamiya Shiori and Li Qingwan urged in a low voice at the same time on the other side of the screen.

"Damn it! It's all sweet talk! We can't just agree to this kid so easily! Yuka!" Ueno Masazō grabbed the computer screen with both hands, as if he wanted to get into it.

In fact, in Ueno Masao's own opinion, his love for Yuka is no less than anyone else. Not only did he leave all the Ueno family's property to Yuka, he also tried his best to train Yuka to become a qualified heir.

But this heir is about to be kidnapped by the poor boy in front of him, how can he not be anxious?
Bang! The cane hit Ueno Masao's hand, and Ueno Shinichiro glared at him.

"You're blocking the screen, Zheng Zang."

"Huh... Huh, no, I want to go to China!" Ueno Masazō kept gasping for breath and couldn't help but stand up.

"Sayuri! Book me a flight to China! The sooner the better!"

"Let's see who dares to move?" Ueno Mamiko said with a smile. Although her face looked warm, judging from the frightened expression of Ueno Shinichiro, she was really angry.

"Isn't this quite romantic? Why can't you accept it, Zheng Zang?"

"Mom, how can that poor boy be worthy of Yuka?" Ueno Masao asked anxiously.

"Before I was with your father, he was chased everywhere by that pro-American group. If I had disliked him at that time, how could you be here?" Ueno Mamiko said softly.

"So we should give the young man more time. I think he can carefully consider the New Year in Japan, so he must care about Yuka. If that's the case...how could he bear to let Yuka live a hard life with him?"

"Even if I give him some time, what will happen? It's better to find someone who is more suitable for me..."

"Ok?"

Masao Ueno was about to say something, but the smile on Mamiko Ueno's face became even brighter, so he could only shut up in shame.

"I think Sayuri should feel the same way? Was that scene just now very romantic?" asked Mamiko Ueno.

She felt that as a woman, Sayuri Ueno should be able to understand the feeling of being treated with care, and that such emotion could definitely not be faked with sweet words.

At least Zhao Yu's eyes were as serious as that of Shinichiro Ueno when he was young.

"How could Sayuri agree with such fancy things? Right? Sayuri?" Ueno Masazō turned his head and looked at Ueno Sayuri.

However, Sayuri Ueno looked at Masao Ueno, then at Mamiko Ueno, sighed, and nodded slightly.

"You!" Masazō Ueno widened his eyes in disbelief.

Is Sayuri going to betray me and join that boy's camp?
"Sorry, Masao, I thought maybe we could take another look at it, after all, you see..." Sayuri Ueno pointed at the screen.

"Yuuka is smiling so happily. I have never seen her smile so brightly."

Youhua smiled, with a touch of tears in her smile. Wasn't it just for this that she ran away from Japan to China?
Letting go of Zhao Yu's hand, Youhua rushed into Zhao Yu's arms regardless of anything, buried her head in his chest and spoke softly.

"Idiot, why are you telling me this now? Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

"Sorry, Yuhua, I've always wanted to make it more ceremonial, but time was too tight, so I can only do this much." Zhao Yu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"So what's your answer?"

"I said you are an idiot and you really are like an idiot..." Youhua raised her head from Zhao Yu's chest and poked his chest lightly with her fingers.

"Of course I am willing, so don't think about getting rid of me easily in the future!"

"I should be the one saying this. I won't let you leave me." Zhao Yu said.
