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

Chapter 149: The Love Story of Two Idiots and Grandpa and Grandma (Two in One)

In the yard of the Ueno family, Li Qingwan sat in the corridor, staring at the Podocarpus in the yard in a daze.

The sparrow standing on the Podocarpus tree tilted its head and observed the strange human in front of it, seeming to be puzzled as to why she was as motionless as a piece of wood.

“So boring!!!”

A sudden shout startled the sparrow, and it flapped its wings in panic and fled into the sky.

The instigator opened his arms and stretched lazily.

"Aren't you going to talk to O-ni about the cooperation? You won't be bored if you have something to do, right?" Shiori Nanamiya, who was sitting next to her, flipped through the book in her hand and spoke without raising her head.

"I do want to, but today is not a working day, and he hasn't come out yet. How long will this guy stay in the room?" Li Qingwan said with a hint of complaint.

Since receiving a call from O-Ni yesterday afternoon, Zhao Yu has been in his room, concentrating on planning a new song, and it has not come out yet. Yuhua also brought him dinner last night...

Seeing that Zhao Yu was already busy, Youhua also started to do her own thing.

There is a documentary about veterans and that period of history, which was divided into two parts by Youhua and the editor. One part of the historical material is in the second half of her and Zhao Yu’s daily live broadcast, while the other part about the interviews with veterans was edited out separately.

According to Yuka, people who are willing to continue watching and reflect on this period of history will definitely finish watching this individual interview, and her goal is to screen out some people who maintain a sense of justice.

As for others, this is a very long-term plan, and Youhua does not expect the people who have been miseducated to suddenly change their minds.

To this end, Shinichiro Ueno and Mamiko are also collecting information for Yuka, looking for some Japanese orphans adopted by China during the war, hoping that they can restore the true appearance of Japan in that era.

Everyone was busy, and the only one who was free was Li Qingwan.

Just as she said, the time to discuss cooperation was set for tomorrow, Monday.

With nothing to do, she could only stay in the yard in a daze. She could almost count the number of feathers on the sparrow on the Podocarpus.

"Come to think of it, Shiori, don't you have nothing to do too? Aren't you bored?" Li Qingwan turned her head and looked at Nanamiya Shiori.

She tucked her golden hair behind her ears. The morning sun shone through the eaves, making her round and full earlobes look crystal clear.

Her fair and slender fingers slowly turned the pages of the book on her knees, and for a moment she looked a little like a literary girl.

"It's not that I have nothing to do. I'm now learning how to be more interesting so that future live broadcasts won't be too boring." Shiori Nanamiya stopped and spoke calmly.

"So have you learned how to be interesting now?" Li Qingwan asked.

"I roughly understand that the jokes in this book are very funny and the audience should like it," said Shiori Nanamiya.

"What's the joke? Tell it to me."

"What do pandas eat? What do pandas eat? Bread."

"Eh~ What a cold joke..."

After hearing this, Li Qingwan shivered and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Then how about this? It's a joke that requires knowledge of both Japanese and Chinese to understand." Seeing that Li Qingwan was not buying it, Shiori Nanamiya turned a few more pages, coughed lightly, and read in a flat voice.

"A Japanese was traveling in China and met a taxi driver from a mountain city. The taxi driver was so scared that it was about to fly that he kept saying to the driver: 'Hooray! Hooray!' The driver drove even faster after hearing that."

"Okay, stop talking. It's winter now. Don't let your jokes catch a cold on me." Li Qingwan complained.

I really don't know where Shiori Nanamiya bought this joke book that keeps playing with puns.

"Isn't it funny?" asked Shiori Nanamiya.

"It's not funny at all. The penguins probably thought they were back in Antarctica when they heard it," said Li Qingwan.

"Is that so..." There was a hint of regret in Shiori Nanamiya's eyes.

"I've always thought it was quite funny. How about I tell you a joke?"

"Stop, stop, stop! Why don't we go and see how Zhao Yu is doing now? Things over there are more important!" Li Qingwan shook her head like a rattle.

"Okay." Shiori Nanamiya closed the joke book in her hand, which made Li Qingwan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After stretching her stiff limbs, Li Qingwan quickly stood up from the corridor and walked towards Zhao Yu's room.

When the two arrived at the door, Yuhua was already waiting there.

"How is it? Is Brother Yu done with his work?" Li Qingwan walked to Youhua carelessly.

"Shh..." Yuka stretched out her finger and made a gesture of silence.

At this time, Zhao Yu's slightly annoyed voice was heard in the room.

"Damn it! I have no clue at all!"

Along with the sound, there was also the sound of something falling to the ground.

Li Qingwan stood on tiptoe and looked into the room from the window. She saw that Zhao Yu's hair was a mess and the floor was littered with crumpled paper balls. It looked like these were what had just fallen on the floor.

"Yujun is having a hard time right now, so let's not disturb him." A trace of sadness appeared on Youhua's face and she sighed softly.

She knew very well why Zhao Yu worked so hard, and that was why she felt so uncomfortable now that she could not help at all.

"It would be great if I also understood music theory. Maybe I could help relieve Yujun of some of the pressure."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, creative inspiration is hard to predict. Hasn't Youhua been taking good care of Brother Yu's daily life?" Li Qingwan said to comfort him.

"But this is not enough..." Yuka clutched the corner of her clothes tightly.

"If you are really worried, you might as well go and ask him what he is worried about instead of just standing there watching him at the door." Shiori Nanamiya suddenly spoke.

In her opinion, Youhua and Zhao Yu cared too much about each other's feelings, which made them very cautious in everything they did.

Zhao Yu was reluctant to make Youhua worry, and Youhua was reluctant to disturb Zhao Yu.

If Youhua or Zhao Yu hadn't been so considerate of each other and had spoken out openly about what was bothering them, they wouldn't have had to stare at each other from across the room.

"Is this really okay? Yujun is already so upset, if I cause him more trouble..." Before Yuhua could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nanamiya Shiori.

"So are you going to feel bad just watching him like this? Only by understanding the problem can you find a way to solve it, so listen to me and be bold!" While saying this, Shiori Nanamiya opened Zhao Yu's door and pushed Yuka in.

Youhua staggered into the house and suddenly woke up Zhao Yu who was still immersed in deep thought. She wanted to explain something in panic, but accidentally stepped on the ball of paper on the ground, and her feet slipped and fell towards Zhao Yu.

Plop! Youhua's petite and soft body fell on Zhao Yu's chest. The two looked at each other, and the anxiety in Zhao Yu's eyes gradually faded.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Yu spoke softly, reaching out and rubbing Youhua's head.

"I'm still a little worried about Yujun, so I came in to check on him without permission." Youhua put her little head on Zhao Yu's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

"Don't worry, I just don't know where to start for the time being." Zhao Yu said.

This was not something Zhao Yu said to comfort Youhua because he was afraid that she would worry, but it was Zhao Yu's true thoughts.

It’s not that he doesn’t have any good songs to write. On the contrary, Zhao Yu has too many famous songs in his head, which makes him not know which songs would be more appropriate.

At first he was going to just pick a few of Kenshi Yonezu's popular songs, but after writing the lyrics, he felt that none of them were right.

Songs like "Lemon" and "さよーならまたいつか" are completely inconsistent with his current situation.

The emotional experience described in the lyrics cannot be said to be exactly the same as his, but it can be said to be completely unrelated.

His love life is completely transparent, and anyone who has watched his live broadcast knows it.

Even if you say that you got the inspiration for this kind of song from a TV show or a novel, it is very likely that people will misunderstand whether there is something wrong with your relationship with Yuka.

If I remember correctly, Lemon was also a theme song created for a TV series, right?

Zhao Yu now understood why the protagonists in some time-travel novels he had read before did not write famous songs all at once, but instead waited for the right time.

After all, no matter how much you make up the facts, you still need a creative background...

It was such a headache. How could I come up with a suitable reason to bring out these songs? I couldn't just break up with Youhua once, could I? Zhao Yu frowned again.

"Don't frown, it makes you look ugly." Youhua raised her head, looked at Zhao Yu's current appearance, and gently stroked Zhao Yu's forehead with her little hand.

"If you don't have any ideas for the time being, why don't I go out for a walk with you? Staying in the house all the time is just a closed-door job."

"It may not be useful outside. I just haven't figured out how my experience can match the lyrics." Zhao Yu sighed.

"Content matching?" Yuka pondered.

Since I met Zhao Yu, many of his songs were created during his daily live broadcasts. Isn’t this considered content matching?

"The songs Yujun wrote before were all based on the daily life in the live broadcast room, right? Or...the daily life with me?"

Yuka was actually a little shy when she said this, but it was also the truth.

After all, whether it was the song "Fireworks" that expressed the promise to go to the fireworks festival, or the song "Beautiful Days" that expressed love in the musical instrument store, or even the creation of "Fairy Tale Town", they are all inextricably linked to me.

"Wait?! Youhua, what did you just say?" A flash of lightning flashed through Zhao Yu's mind, and he seemed to have grasped something.

"I say, Yujun's source of inspiration should be the daily life in the live broadcast room, right?"

"No, not this one, but the one after that!"

"Or rather, your daily life with me?"

Youhua's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably. Yujun was really mean. He knew that I was easily shy, but he made me repeat such embarrassing words again.

What's the difference between this and saying directly: "I am Yuka Ueno, and I am your muse"? It seems narcissistic and exaggerated...

"That's it! That's right! I never had any restrictions on what songs I had to come up with before, but I just picked the ones that naturally came to my mind in accordance with the situation..." Zhao Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he finally had an idea. He kept thinking about how to match the lyrics with his actual situation, which was completely putting the cart before the horse. With so many songs in his head, he could choose songs according to his current situation!

"Kiss!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but raise his head and kiss Youhua.

"Thanks to your reminder, I was on the wrong track from the beginning!"

Right now I'm in the passionate love phase with Yuka, so there's no need for me to copy those sad love songs.

As long as he can come up with some songs of decent quality that fit the story of him and Yuka from their acquaintance to their passionate love, that would be enough.

This is much easier than trying to cater to popular songs that are not relevant to the current situation.

“It stinks!”

Zhao Yu hadn't left the table since yesterday afternoon, so he naturally had no time to wash up. Youhua wrinkled her nose and pushed him away with some disgust.

“Hehehe…” Zhao Yu scratched his messy head a little embarrassedly.

Seeing him smile confidently again, Youhua felt that she couldn't lift her hands anymore and was reluctant to push Zhao Yu out any further.

After staring at Zhao Yu for a few seconds, Youhua moved forward a little and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

"Although it stinks, but... welcome back, my Yujun."

"You still say I stink? Then I'll make you stink too!"

Zhao Yu pretended to have a ferocious expression and opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to bite Youhua's face.

"Ah!" With a cry of surprise, Youhua supported herself on Zhao Yu's chest with her hands and climbed up.

The two of them started playing and frolicking in the room, and their dull daily life finally returned to normal.

"That solves the problem." Shiori Nanamiya, who had been observing from the window, raised her eyebrows.

"What two idiots."

Li Qingwan, who was lying on tiptoe on the windowsill, turned around and saw a somewhat unexpected scene.

"Did you just laugh, Shiori?"

"No, you saw it wrong."

"My eyesight is very good! You just smiled, and now the corners of your mouth are curled up!"

"I told you, you saw it wrong..." Shiori Nanamiya touched the corner of her mouth subconsciously.

"Hehe~ You feel guilty and have been fooled, right? I knew I was not mistaken!" Li Qingwan was very proud.

"You are just like those two guys, an idiot." Nanamiya Shiori glared at Li Qingwan and turned away.

Half an hour later, in the living room of the Ueno family.

Today's live broadcast started as scheduled. The photographer was ready and had set up the camera. Sitting in the main seat was Shinichiro Ueno, and next to him was Mamiko.

Zhao Yu and Youhua were sitting opposite the two of them, while Li Qingwan and Nanamiya Shiori were sitting in the corner, watching them interact.

"You mean, you want to know how I and this old woman got together?" asked Shinichiro Ueno.

"That's right. I already have a general direction for the next few songs. I want to use first love as the theme, so I need to collect good materials." Zhao Yu nodded.

It’s a good idea to start with Shinichiro Ueno. He and Yuka met during a live broadcast, but there are basically no songs that fit the situation.

If you really want to stick to live streaming, you can only come up with weird songs like "QQ Love".

But if we blur the subject matter, start with the concept of first love, and guide the audience in the live broadcast room to think in this direction, then the scope will be wider.

Starting from the daily sweetness with Yuka, it draws out the audience's throbbing of first love, and then creates a similar scene. This is much easier than sticking to a sad love song.

The difference between the two is equivalent to that one is social recruitment, which only looks for people with strong abilities regardless of whether they meet the specific circumstances, while the other is campus recruitment, which slowly cultivates talents suitable for oneself from the beginning.

I had been making it so difficult for myself before, always choosing from lyrics that I couldn't realize. It was a complete waste of time.

"This is a long story..." Ueno Shinichiro glanced at Mamiko and lost himself in memories.

"When I first came to Nara, I was just a poor boy. Because of my position, I was not welcomed by others..."

"I didn't even have a place to live. Fortunately, the principal of a nearby school took me in. I could only make a living by writing well."

Although he was taken in at that time, no place was willing to give Ueno Shinichiro a job. Everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, so he could only use the name of the principal to sell his calligraphy works.

"Until one day, Mamiko came to the principal's house. I still remember that day I was writing inscriptions for someone else's store sign, and she suddenly barged in."

"I was very nervous at the time, and was afraid that I would be implicated by the principal if I was discovered."

"I'm not breaking in. The house you lived in before belonged to the principal, who is a good friend of my father." Mamiko retorted in a low voice.

"Anyway, the situation was completely different from what I thought. It's still very impressive to me. It was the first time I saw a kind smile on the face of someone other than the principal... Do you remember how you talked to me, old lady?"

Shinichiro Ueno smiled and looked at Mamiko.

Mamiko cleared her throat, her voice became cheerful, and she spoke to Shinichiro Ueno.

“Your handwriting is pretty good!”

"Yes, that's it. I was really happy at that time. I finally got praise from others." Shinichiro Ueno's voice trembled a little.

In fact, as a top student in Tokyo, he had always been a progressive young man who was admired by others, but after his struggle failed, he fell to the bottom.

Everyone viewed this group of college students as a scourge and wanted to drive them away as soon as possible. Wherever they went, they were met with disgust and indifference.

Such a contrast made Shinichiro Ueno unable to recover for a time. He even doubted whether his own path and the struggle of his comrades were worth it.

However, when Mamiko saw this radical who was hated by everyone, she did not show the same expression. Instead, she gave him a cheerful smile as if she didn't know anything.

This made him realize again that there are still gentle and kind people in this world, and gave Shinichiro Ueno a reason to cheer up again.

"At that time, I was thinking, is this girl an angel? Is she here to save me when I'm desperate?" said Shinichiro Ueno
"In fact, your reaction was very cold at that time." Mamiko complained.

She still remembered that the man looked at her, then turned around and said coldly: "This is my room, please get out."

"There's no way. After being betrayed so many times, I can no longer trust anyone else. Even though I think so in my heart, I still resist on the surface." Shinichiro Ueno said embarrassedly.

"It was actually the first time in such a long time that a stranger treated me in a friendly way. For a moment I didn't know how to communicate with you."

"What happened next?" Yuka asked curiously.

"Did grandpa later discover that grandma was indeed as gentle and kind as he imagined, and then took the initiative to pursue her?"

"No, actually I was the one who took the initiative to pursue the old man." Mamiko smiled slightly.

"Ah!!" Yuka was a little bit unbelievable.

"It was the first time I met someone from a big city. I was full of curiosity about him, so I often went to the principal's house to find him. Later... he was recommended by the principal and came to my school under an assumed name to be a calligraphy teacher," Mamiko continued.

"So, grandma fell in love with grandpa at this time?" Yuka asked.

"It's like this, after I expressed my love to you, your grandfather avoided me for a long time. Later, I asked him directly under a tree on the campus: How do you feel about me?" Mamiko showed a nostalgic expression.

At that time, she was extremely bold and powerful, so that Shinichiro Ueno didn't have time to react and subconsciously spoke out his true feelings.

After finally learning about his feelings for her, Mamiko took Shinichiro Ueno directly to meet her parents.

[I didn't expect that Mamiko-san would be so bold]

[To be able to express my feelings, I guess I must have used up all my courage, right? ]

[Grandpa Ueno is quite pitiful. It was obviously the fault of the times. If it weren't for that crazy era, maybe he would be even more remarkable now? ]

[Then I won't meet Grandma Mamiko. I can only say that everything is arranged by fate.]

"Then grandpa and grandma got together?" Youhua continued to ask.

"It's not that simple. At that time, my father didn't agree with me being with that poor boy, so he wanted to marry me to someone else. I ran away from home that night." At this point, Mamiko and Yuka smiled at each other.

"After Mamiko found me, I also understood my own heart, so I tried my best, and like Xiaoyu, I finally got the recognition of my father-in-law." Shinichiro Ueno nodded.

"That's great..." Shiori Nanamiya said softly.

At this moment, she felt that the Ueno family's inter-generational inheritance was a confirmed fact, and Yuka was almost exactly like Mamiko when it came to love.

"Grandpa and grandma, does that school still exist?" Zhao Yu, who had been listening to the two people's story, suddenly spoke.

"It's almost abandoned now. It hasn't been demolished, but few people go there," said Shinichiro Ueno
"Yuuka."

"Hmm? What's the matter, Yujun?"

"I have an idea..." Zhao Yu and Youhua looked at each other.

"Why don't we go to the school that witnessed the love between my grandparents? I suddenly got an idea..."

Zhao Yu was sure that this was what he wanted. With a little guidance, he could present a perfect song creation process.

"Is that so? Then let's go and take a look?" Yuhua thought for a moment and looked at Li Qingwan and Nanamiya Shiori in the corner.

"Let's go, we will try our best to cooperate with you." Li Qingwan nodded.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it. What kind of song will Yujun create?" Youhua smiled.
