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

Chapter 212 Birds of a Feather

No one knew what Zhao Yu and Ueno Masao said afterwards. When the two returned to the beach, Ueno Masao smiled again.

"It looks like you've regained your spirits, Masao." After seeing the smile on Ueno Masao's face, Sayuri teased.

"Although I don't want to admit it, compared to young people, I'm indeed a little behind the trend." Ueno Masazō sat next to Sayuri, took out the knife he bought from the convenience store, and started cutting the watermelon.

"When I was young, I always thought about how to inherit the Ueno family and carry forward the family business founded by my father. When I came to my senses, I found that I had missed a lot of good things."

As he spoke, Masazo Ueno distributed the watermelons to everyone.

"After all, it wasn't like now, where we have so much free time, right?" Yuka took the watermelon and comforted Ueno Masazō.

"Actually, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that I don't have time. It's just that I have never thought about it in this way. I always took it for granted that your mother doesn't like these things." Ueno Masazō shook his head.

"But what woman actually hates these things? Romance never goes out of style."

“There are still things I need to learn…”

"Masaozo, can we go for a walk?" Sayuri suddenly interrupted Masao Ueno.

"Okay, hahaha, after bothering young people for so long, it's time to give you some free space. Sayuri and I will go for a walk alone first." Ueno Masazō looked at the expression on Sayuri's face and slowly stood up.

"Just relax and see you later." Sayuri grabbed Ueno Masao's hand and said goodbye to everyone.

Looking at the backs of Ueno Masao and his wife as they left, Li Qingwan took a bite of watermelon and turned to look at Zhao Yu.

"Uncle and aunt, does this count as a time for two people to be together? Then what are we going to do next?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yu raised his head and looked around.

Except for some young people playing with surfboards, the rest were couples interacting on the beach. Only a few, probably from clubs or friends, came out to play volleyball on the beach.

"I think I should spend some time alone with Yuuka, just to have some time alone with her."

"Huh? If both of you leave, what should we do?" Li Qingwan was stunned.

"When school starts, there won't be many opportunities like this, so let them spend more time together." Nanamiya Shiori said.

"Okay, then you guys just have fun, and we'll meet up again in the evening." Seeing this, Li Qingwan could only nod helplessly.

On the other side, Sayuri and Ueno Masazō were walking side by side on the beach. The waves washed the coastline from time to time, cleaning up their footprints.

"This should be the first time the two of us go traveling together, right?" Sayuri turned around and stamped her feet on the beach like a little girl.

"It's indeed her first time out. Sayuri must be very envious of Yuka, right?" Ueno Masazō said softly as he watched Sayuri's movements.

Compared with Sayuri, Youhua is undoubtedly happier. She has traveled to many interesting places with Zhao Yu's company.

And since Sayuri met me, she has been staying in a small place like Nara. The occasional outings with me were only for the company or Yuka's studies. There was no such opportunity at all.

"You..." Sayuri stopped and stood in front of Ueno Masao, then sighed as she looked at his tough face.

"You wanted to win so badly when you were splitting the watermelon just now. You didn't think I didn't know what you were thinking, did you?"

"This... you guessed it all?" Ueno Masao was a little embarrassed.

"A boy used this trick on me when I was in elementary school. Do you think I can't see through it?" Sayuri smiled.

"Does that mean I'm not even as good as a child?" Ueno Masao felt even more ashamed.

"But I'm very happy. I'm very happy that Zhengzang would take the initiative to do these because of me." Sayuri turned around and walked slowly forward.

"Like you said, romance never goes out of style."

Looking at Sayuri's back, Ueno Masazō recalled the conversation he had just had with Zhao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, how can I make my lover happy so naturally like you?"

"Don't think about anything, Dad... Deliberate actions are never as natural as subconscious thoughts. Just follow your heart."

After thinking of this, Ueno Masao finally stopped hiding his feelings and said to Sayuri's back: "I didn't understand these things before, but for Sayuri, I am willing to change a little bit. One day, you will be like Yuka and don't need to envy others."

"You're wrong, Zhengzang." Sayuri stopped.

"I'm not envious of Yuuka, on the contrary... I'm very satisfied with the present, and I like you being clumsy like this. Showa men don't need to keep up with the trend. After all, I'm also a Showa woman."

"We are more compatible like this, aren't we?" Before she could finish her words, Sayuri felt herself being hugged suddenly.

"I like you, Sayuri."

"Oh! We are an old married couple, why is it so sudden?" Sayuri's face turned red.

"I love you the most, my little Sayuri." Ueno Masao repeated again.

"Me too, I like Masao the most." Feeling Masao Ueno's heartbeat, Sayuri narrowed her eyes.

"Remember what we used to do when we were on secret dates?"

"What do you mean?" Ueno Masazō lowered his head and looked at Sayuri in his arms.

"Dance with me, Masao." Sayuri left Masao Ueno's arms and stretched out her hand to him.

"I couldn't ask for more." Ueno Masazō grabbed Sayuri's hand.

Just like that, the two of them danced their favorite duet in their youth on the deserted coastline. This was a unique romance belonging to the Showa couple.

The beach where the few people came this time has a small park attached, and connected to the park is a very large square.

There are several faucets and shower rooms on the edge of the square, which are specially used to wash the sand off the body, and Zhao Yu and Youhua happened to walk here.

"Yujun, are you deliberately bullying your dad today?" Youhua said as she looked at Zhao Yu who was washing the sand off his feet.

"No way, he was the one who wanted to prove the romance of Showa men." Zhao Yu said as he turned off the faucet.

"Don't think I don't know. I was a little too deliberate today, okay?" Yuka sat down on a bench nearby.

"Actually, it's not too deliberate. At least I'm sincere when I do these things." Zhao Yu went to the vending machine nearby and bought two cans of Coke before returning to sit next to Youhua.

"It's because Yujun can do this naturally every time, so it seems like he is making things difficult for Dad." Youhua sighed.

"I can't imagine how Dad can compare to you. Just like he said, he has missed that age."

"That's not necessarily true..." Zhao Yu handed Youhua a can of Coke.

"Huh? Why does Yujun say that?" Yuhua took the Coke and was a little confused, but suddenly thought of the smile on Ueno Masao's face when he came back.

"Could it be..."

"Hehe, I just gave Dad some advice and asked him to be more honest with Mom. I guess now he and Mom have started their sweet world of two." Zhao Yu said with a smile.

"Looking at it this way, it seems that everyone in the Ueno family, whether it's me, my parents, or us, are being taken care of by Yujun..." Yuhua felt a little embarrassed.

"Why do we as a family still say these things? I also hope that my parents' relationship can get better and better." Zhao Yu shook his head.

"That's true. By the way...will Xiaowan and the others feel bored if the two of us go out like this?" Youhua did not comment on what Zhao Yu said and changed the subject.

"No way? Isn't she very close to Qi Gong? The two of them should have a lot to talk about. You should think about where we should go." Zhao Yu said.

"I used to worry about what would happen to Shiori if I went to China in the future. Now that Xiaowan is here, I don't have this worry anymore." Yuka said while looking at the children playing in the square.

"Have you forgotten? I said your friends are my friends. In your eyes, Qigong should be more like a sister, right? Even if Xiaowan is not here, I will make arrangements for her." Zhao Yu held Youhua's hand and spoke.

"Yujun is really reliable..." Youhua said in a low voice.

"That's because she is Youhua's best friend. As long as it's about you, I will do my best." Zhao Yu said.

At this time, the noise of children playing not far away became louder and louder. Zhao Yu looked at them. This group of children were riding bicycles in circles in the square.

Smiles filled the children's faces, and Yuka couldn't help but be attracted by them and fixed her eyes on the bicycles.

"I remember that Youhua doesn't seem to be able to ride a bicycle yet?" Zhao Yu asked as if he had thought of something. Zhao Yu only found out that Youhua couldn't ride a bicycle after he took over the motorcycle that Youhua gave him.

He wanted to let Yuka ride the motorcycle for a while to experience his feelings, but Yuka told him that she had no idea how to operate a two-wheeled vehicle.

Now seeing the child riding a bicycle, Zhao Yu suddenly wanted to teach Youhua how to ride a bicycle.

"Yeah, I never learned it." Yuka nodded.

She usually takes the Shinkansen or her family's car and rarely has the opportunity to ride a bicycle, so she has never learned how to use it.

"So, Youhua, do you want to learn this? I can teach you." Zhao Yu said.

"Hey? Is that possible?" Yuka was a little tempted. If she could learn to ride a bicycle, she would be able to learn to ride a motorcycle soon, right? Then she could feel the feeling of Kamen Rider.

"As long as you want, I will teach you. It won't take long to learn this, don't worry." As he said that, Zhao Yu stood up and walked to the child next to him.

After communicating with them for a while, Zhao Yu found out that there was a place to rent a bicycle nearby, so he rented a bicycle and took Youhua to a quiet corner.

“How should I learn this?”

Yuhua imitated how everyone rode a bicycle in her memory and sat on it, but she found that she could not keep her balance at all. She twisted left and right and hurriedly stood on the ground again.

“It seems to be more difficult than expected.”

"Let me think, how about doing the same as them? Add training wheels or something?" Zhao Yu pointed at the children in the distance. One of them had two training wheels on the rear wheel of his bicycle. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about balance at all.

"No! Wouldn't that be like being a child? Others will laugh at us." Yuka quickly shook her head.

That kid was probably only a few years old. It would be embarrassing for a college student like me to end up like him.

"That's true. Let me help you hold it. You try it first." Zhao Yu held the back seat of the bicycle and spoke to Youhua.

"Don't worry, sit on it. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Then I'll get on?" Youhua said, sitting on the seat. She was a little nervous at first, but Zhao Yu's strong arms helped her keep her balance, making Youhua feel much more at ease.

"See, there's nothing to worry about. Try moving the pedal with your feet." Zhao Yu said.

Hearing this, Youhua slowly began to step on the pedal. As the pedal rose and fell, the car began to move forward crookedly.

"Pay attention to holding the handles and look straight ahead, that's right...that's it." Zhao Yu kept reminding Youhua from behind.

"Hehe, it doesn't seem that difficult?" After going around a few times, Youhua seemed to have mastered the trick and a smile appeared on her face.

“Is this what it’s like to ride a bike?”

"Do you want me to let go and try?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Okay, Yujun, let go and take a look. I should be fine." Overwhelmed by joy, Youhua agreed without hesitation.

Zhao Yu let go of the back seat, and suddenly the feeling of being out of control came back. Youhua began to try to balance the car body by controlling the handlebars.

"Why does it feel like something is not right? I was clearly in control just now?" Youhua panicked.

"Don't panic! Adjust your balance, and don't twist the handle at such a large angle!" Zhao Yu hurriedly reminded.

"Ouch... Adjust balance, grip, grip..." Yuhua started to move in a panic, but the more she adjusted, the more panicked she became. She was about to fall uncontrollably, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

It's over... I'm sure it will hurt a lot this time, right? Yuka thought to herself.

But the expected pain did not appear. The car stabilized quickly and she was held tightly in his arms. Youhua opened her eyes and saw Zhao Yu looking at her with a hint of self-blame.

"I should have let you practice two more laps."

"It's not Yujun's problem, it's that I'm too confident." Youhua stood on the ground and held the bicycle.

"How about this, I'll ride you around on the bike for a few laps so you can get a feel for how to maintain balance?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Just do as Yujun says." Youhua didn't dare to ride alone. Maybe it was like what Zhao Yu said, only after feeling how he rode the bike would she understand the trick of mastering balance.

"Then sit on the back seat." Zhao Yu sat on the bicycle, patted the back seat and spoke to Youhua.

Yuka carefully sat on the back seat and held on to it tightly with her hands.

"You can't do this. Hold on to my waist, or you won't be able to sit steadily." Zhao Yu saw Youhua's actions and reminded her.

"Okay, okay." Youhua released her hand that was holding onto the back seat and hugged Zhao Yu tightly like an octopus.

"It's too tight. Just hold it firmly." Zhao Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Is that so?" Yuhua blushed a little and quickly changed her posture.

"Okay, that's it, I'm going to set off!" As he said this, Zhao Yu stepped on the pedal.

The bicycle was moving steadily across the square, which was completely different from the feeling of stumbling just now.

The warm sea breeze blew on her face, and Yuhua felt like she was flying freely.

"Great! I can fly!" Youhua couldn't help but speak.

"I felt the same way when I first learned to ride a bike. Do you have a better sense of balance now?" Zhao Yu asked when he heard Youhua's voice.

“It seems that there is still a little bit left…”

"Then I'll speed up."

Zhao Yu rode his bike out of the square and sped along the coastline on the bicycle path nearby.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and the surrounding scenery is flying backwards. Unlike motorcycles that ignore the scenery, bicycles seem to be born with a different kind of charm.

The sea breeze caressed the two of them, making Youhua's sun protection clothes rustle. She couldn't help but hug Zhao Yu tightly again.

"It's so fast! I feel like I'm really flying! Yujun!"

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

"I spoke too quickly!"

"Should we go slower then?"

Zhao Yu felt Youhua's head pressed against him and asked.

Looking at the coastline in the distance, Youhua suddenly thought of a Chinese legend she had seen before.

Legend has it that there is a creature called lovebirds. Each individual has only one wing, so two pairs of birds must stick together to fly.

Are Zhao Yu and I now like the legendary lovebirds? Thinking of this, Youhua couldn't help but say, "No, just keep riding like this!"

"Okay, then I'll continue!" Zhao Yu smiled and continued along the bike path.

Half an hour later, the two stopped at the edge of the square again. Zhao Yu got out of the car and looked at Youhua who was still not satisfied.

"How is it? Do you feel that sense of balance now?"

"It seems like we're still a little short." Yuka said while sitting in the back seat.

"A little bit short? What's missing?" Zhao Yu asked.

"The difference is... I want to stay with Yujun for a while longer like this." Youhua paused and spoke playfully.

She suddenly felt that she was not so interested in learning how to ride a bicycle. What interested her more was the process of getting along with Zhao Yu.

"I really can't do anything about you..." Zhao Yu sighed and got on the bicycle again.

"Hold on tight, we're off again!"

"Great! Let's fly to freedom together!" Yuka cheered.
