Chapter 674 I’m Honored
The next morning, the plane took off from Incheon Airport and landed at Tokyo Airport.
This is also the last stop of Gu Wei's trip abroad.
There were still huge crowds of fans outside the airport waiting to pick up the fans, and the enthusiasm of Japanese fans was no less than that of South Korean fans.
Gu Wei and his party got on the car sent by BS TV station and arrived at the hotel where they were staying.
The schedule in Tokyo is similar to that in Seoul. There will be a fan meeting in the afternoon, and then a TV station to record an interview.
Originally, BS TV station wanted to have Gu Wei appear on a more popular variety show, so that the publicity effect would be better.
However, after communication, he was rejected by Gu Wei.
In his impression, Japanese variety shows are more heavy-handed than those in South Korea and China. Although this makes the program more explosive, it is not very friendly to celebrity artists. As a foreign star, there is no need for him to make himself unhappy.
So I settled for the second best and changed it into a more uneventful interview.
"After the show is recorded tonight, BS Radio has invited me to a dinner party."
In the hotel where they were staying, Yang Dan talked about his plans in Tokyo.
Gu Wei, who had been sending messages on his phone, frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Can I not go to this dinner?"
"Not so good, boss.
BS TV is our old partner and we have had a very pleasant cooperation over the years. This is also a token of our appreciation for you.”
Gu Wei thought about it and felt that what Yang Dan said made sense. The other party invited him so warmly because he valued the cooperative relationship with Wei Ming Tian Xia.
Not attending a banquet without a reason is pure disrespect and is not advisable in business cooperation.
“I understand~
I don't have any urgent plans in China for the next few days, right?"
"There's an ELLE Fashion Awards in Beijing on the 8th, and the organizers hope you can attend. If you do, we'll have to return to Beijing tomorrow at the latest.
There is also an invitation for a single cover of the October issue of [Fashion COSMOPOLITAN]. The time is relatively flexible, so you can just find time to shoot before the end of the month.
Then, director Li Muge has scheduled September 15th for the filming of "Eastern Palace" to begin in Beijing."
After Gu Wei asked, Yang Dan immediately told him about his approximate work and schedule for the next month.
"I won't be attending the ELLE Fashion Awards. My work in Tokyo is finished today, so I'll probably stay in Japan for a few more days."
"I understand~"
Although Yang Dan didn't know what her boss wanted to do, since she had been ordered to do so, she just did it. The only thing she had to do was change the time of her flight back home.
"Boss, when are we supposed to return to Beijing?"
Private jet routes and times need to be booked in advance.
Gu Wei understood what she meant and hesitated for a moment.
"About three to five days. I'll tell you in advance."
The fan meeting in Tokyo was larger than the one in Seoul, and the organizers found a venue that could accommodate 3,000 spectators.
When Gu Wei arrived, the audience was filled with long-awaited fans, who immediately erupted in deafening cheers as soon as he appeared.
His popularity here is no less than in South Korea, and he has a lot of fans.
Moreover, the drama "Cinderella's Unrequited Love" is currently being broadcast on BS TV station, so as soon as the news of Gu Wei's fan meeting was revealed, the tickets were quickly snapped up by his fans.
"Hello everyone!"
After Gu Wei came on stage, he first greeted everyone present, and then proceeded with the fan meeting process under the arrangement of the host.
The meeting lasted for an hour and went very smoothly from start to finish without any problems.
What surprised Gu Wei was that the gender ratio of the audience at the fan meeting in Tokyo was very exaggerated. He looked down from the stage and saw that most of the people were girls wearing various beautiful clothes, and there were only a handful of male fans.
The next morning after work, in the cafe downstairs of the hotel.
Gu Wei sat on the sofa in the box, took a sip of a latte, and leisurely watched the pedestrians hurriedly walking on the street outside the window.
"It's so hot in Tokyo!" Looking at some girls wearing cool clothes, Gu Wei sighed slowly.
After a while, a tall girl with short hair, wearing a white halter dress and a mask on her face pushed the door open.
"Gu Weisang, I'm sorry, I'm late~"
Gu Wei looked out the window and turned back, smiling at the girl opposite him:
"Yui-chan, long time no see~"
The girl who came in was none other than the famous Japanese actress, Yui Aragaki, who is called "wife" by many netizens in China.
Last year, Gu Wei came to Tokyo and the two became good friends after meeting each other through work.
Although they never had the chance to meet each other later, Gu Wei and Aragaki Yui kept in touch on LINE.
Yui Aragaki is a homebody who has no other hobbies except work. She has few friends and they are all women, so when she encounters some problems in work and life, she will seek Gu Wei's advice.
Since the two of them were in different countries, Gu Wei would often give her some advice from a male and outsider's perspective.
So even though they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other.
"What would you like to drink?"
"A cup of cappuccino~" After sitting down, Yui Aragaki took off the mask on her face. Gu Wei called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee.
"I'm sorry, I had a dinner party at the TV station last night and couldn't have dinner with you."
Gu Wei came to Tokyo for work and told Aragaki Yui in advance. She immediately invited him to dinner and also said that she would arrange for Gu Wei to travel in Japan for a few days.
"What's there to be sorry about? It's just work. I understand." Yui Aragaki looked at Gu Wei, waved her hand, and looked indifferent.
At this time, the waiter came in with a cup of coffee. When he put it on the table, he saw Aragaki Yui's face and his eyes widened obviously.
However, his good professional ethics prevented him from saying anything. He bent down slightly and walked out of the box.
"If the audience who likes you knew that you, Yui-chan, were dating a boy, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in Japan." Gu Wei said with a smile.
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm just an ordinary actor."
"You clearly underestimate your impact.
If one day you really have a boyfriend or even get married, countless male fans will be sad."
Listening to Gu Wei's words, Yui Aragaki's beautiful eyes moved, she picked up the coffee and took a sip, then showed a playful smile.
"But I think if the news of us dating gets out, your female fans will be even more sad.
But Gu Sang shouldn't mind, after all, you have too many scandals, and your rumored girlfriend is even Hollywood goddess Scarlett Johansson."
“Ahem.
They are just good friends. The media always likes to make up stories and attract attention.
By the way, this is a gift for you."
Gu Wei took out an exquisite little box from his side and placed it on the table.
"I didn't expect there would be a gift when we meet again. Thank you, Gu Sang!"
Aragaki Yui picked it up with a look of surprise and opened the box. Inside was a very beautiful women's watch with a platinum dial surrounded by a circle of diamonds and a star and moon pattern inside. It looked luxurious and romantic.
"It's so beautiful! But it's too expensive, I can't accept it." Judging from Yui Aragaki's expression, she likes it very much, but she also thinks it's too expensive.
"This is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Jewellery date series star and moon theme watch. The price is not expensive."
As he spoke, Gu Wei showed off the Jaeger-LeCoultre double-wing watch of the same brand on his wrist.
"I'm a spokesperson, so it doesn't cost much."
In fact, the public price of this watch is over 10 million yen.
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Aragaki Yui accepted the gift. She happily put the watch on her wrist, looked around, and was very happy.
The two chatted while drinking coffee, talking about their work and life in the past year, and then got down to business.
"Japan's ski season generally starts in December and lasts until around April of the following year. The best time to view cherry blossoms is from January to April, when they are in full bloom.
It is September now, and neither of these two local activities is suitable.
But Japan’s hot springs are also famous all over the world and are not affected by time. I can take you there to experience them.”
When she left last time, Aragaki Yui promised that she would treat Gu Wei well next time he came. Now that Gu Wei is here, she has not forgotten her previous promise.
"No problem, I'll follow your instructions, Yui-chan~"
This matter was discussed by the two of them when they were chatting on Line before Gu Wei came.
"How many days do you have?"
"Three to five days should be fine."
Aragaki Yui smiled.
“This is the best. If the time is too short, the experience will not be very good. It is best to have a week so that you can completely relax and enjoy the fun of vacation and leisure.”
"Yui-chan, you don't have a job recently?" Gu Wei was a little surprised.
"A TV series will be broadcast on TV in the middle of next month, and I will have no work before that." Yui Aragaki said lightly.
"Then I'll leave the next few days to Yui-chan!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I also want to take a good vacation."
"Hakone is a famous hot spring town and health resort in Japan. It is said that 400,000 years ago, it was a volcanic crater with plumes of smoke rising into the sky and lava splashing everywhere.
Today, it is surrounded by green peaks, with gurgling streams and rich hot spring resources underground.
Hakone's hot springs are well-known, and the famous "Hakone Seven Hot Springs" are all great places for recuperation.
After meeting with Yui Aragaki in the morning, the two of them took a car to Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, 90 kilometers away from Tokyo, under her guidance.
According to Yui Aragaki, this is the most famous hot spring resort in Japan and is well-known all over the world.
After arriving in Hakone, the car meandered along the somewhat damp road. The road was a bit narrow, and the buildings on both sides became more and more ancient.
They were climbing a slope. The mountains in the distance were green, but there was some white on the top, which was the snow that had not melted all year round.
When you reach the mountainside, you can see white smoke lingering for a long time, which looks mysterious and beautiful.
Two black nanny cars drove along the path to the deepest part and stopped outside a Japanese-style courtyard.
The plaque on the gate reads "Ebony".
"This is a private hot spring with excellent service. It's run by a friend of mine, so there's no need to worry about our identities."
After getting off the car, Aragaki Yui said to Gu Wei.
At this time, a Japanese woman in her 40s came out from the courtyard. She was wearing a kimono. She was very surprised when she saw Yui Aragaki. She invited them in and Gu Wei followed her in.
Inside the courtyard is a two-story Japanese building, which appears to be made entirely of wood, and is in traditional Japanese style both inside and out.
"Yui, who is this?"
The female boss led the two people into the house and asked Gu Wei who was behind Aragaki Yui.
"My friend is traveling to Japan, so I'll take him to experience the hot springs in Hakone."
After hearing this, the female boss covered her mouth and smiled.
"This guy looks so handsome, is he a big star like Yui?"
"My name is Gu Wei. I'm an actor from China and a colleague of Yui," Gu Wei explained with a smile.
The female boss was surprised after hearing what Gu Wei said.
"Gu Weijun, I didn't expect that you are not only so good-looking, but also speak Japanese so well, it's rare!
We have some Chinese people in Hakone, but they are all wealthy people."
Gu Wei smiled at her and said nothing.
The female boss looked at his face and said something in Aragaki Yui's ear. Aragaki quickly retorted, a hint of shyness flashing across her face.
Under the arrangement of the female boss, the two of them checked into their rooms and put their luggage away.
After a while, Gu Wei changed into his swimsuit and came to an open-air hot spring pool behind the courtyard and started soaking in the hot spring.
The pond is not very big, only about 10 square meters, with an irregular shape. There is a large rock more than one meter tall standing on the side.
The walls around the pool are inlaid with small pebbles. The pool is about 1.2 meters deep and there are steps on the side for people to sit down when taking a hot spring bath.
Because it is at the back of the courtyard, the side facing the outside is blocked by the house and no one can see it. The other side has a wide view. Looking out, there is a large lake among the mountains not far away, which is lush and green. Further in the distance, you can see Mount Fuji, which is covered with snow all year round. The scenery is very beautiful.
Gu Wei soaked in the hot spring pool, enjoying the feeling of the warm water caressing his skin and admiring the scenery in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.
Not long after, Aragaki Yui walked out of the house wrapped in a white bath towel. She walked to the edge of the hot spring pool and felt a little embarrassed when she saw Gu Wei inside.
As she got closer, she took off the bath towel she was wearing, revealing her body in a swimsuit.
She was dressed relatively conservatively, in a swimsuit that covered her entire upper body, revealing only two long, white legs and a pair of arms.
Yui Aragaki has a very slender figure. Although her bust is not particularly plump, she is very well-proportioned overall. With her sweet and lovely face, the word "comfortable" is the word that gives people a deep impression.
Her white and tender feet slowly reached into the hot spring pool. After making sure that the water was not too hot, she slowly sat down, immersed her calves in the pool, and then slowly lowered her body.
"Are you afraid of heat?"
Through the swirling steam, Gu Wei looked at Aragaki Yui's slightly red face and asked.
“A little.”
To be honest, compared to when Gu Wei saw her swimsuit, Aragaki Yui was more shocked when she saw Gu Wei in a swimsuit.
When I met him before, I just thought that Gu Wei was very good-looking and had a very handsome face.
Now that they were both soaking in the hot springs, being almost candid with each other, she realized how perfect his figure was.
Gu Wei sat on the edge of the hot spring, with the water level just below his chest, and his arms stretched out and resting on the edge of the pool.
From Yui Aragaki's perspective, Gu Wei's skin is very fair, the muscles in his arms are streamlined, his pectoral muscles are slightly raised, and his abdominal muscles and shark muscles on the sides can be vaguely seen through the water.
Of course, these muscles are not very obvious. After all, when people relax, their muscles are also in a relaxed state.
However, with the soothing effect of the hot spring water, Gu Wei's muscles would be faintly revealed during his breathing.
The hot spring was already very hot, and after coming down, Yui Aragaki sat next to Gu Wei, and her raised little feet would touch him from time to time, which made her face even redder.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Gu Wei turned slightly and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance.
"The lake over there is called Ashi Lake. It is a volcanic lake. The water is very clear. If you go to the lakeside, you can see the reflection of Mount Fuji in the lake.
It’s a bit late today, let’s go for a boat ride on the lake tomorrow.”
Gu Wei nodded.
"The environment here is so nice, why don't I see any other guests today?"
"This is a private hot spring with only four guest rooms. It's a high-end leisure and recuperation hot spring.
Because I want to entertain you, I told her in advance that I have booked all the guest rooms for the next few days, so there is no need to worry about my whereabouts being leaked."
"Thank you for the expense, Yui-chan."
"It's nothing~" Yui Aragaki waved her hand and said indifferently.
"Boss Huizi just said that there are Chinese people living here too?"
“Yes, because Hakone has beautiful scenery and a unique geographical environment, it is a good place for leisure and recuperation, so many wealthy people have bought houses here.
When we came up, we passed by an area full of private manors and villas.
The most famous ones are Bill Gates, Masayoshi Son and Jack Ma from your country."
Gu Wei nodded. From his experience, this is indeed a good place to relax.
"What did Huizi say to you when you came in?" Gu Wei asked again.
Aragaki Yui was a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a while, she said:
“She asked me if you were my boyfriend?”
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I always came on vacation alone or with my bestie before, you're the first male friend I brought along."
Gu Wei looked at Yui Aragaki's rosy face, which seemed to be from the hot spring.
"Yui-chan, it's my pleasure."
