Chapter 45 – Dad’s Love Education

An oddly quiet atmosphere settles over the living room ……

Shen Yu, Asaba Rika, Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru are sitting around the tea table, each thinking about the position they should put themselves in.

The most embarrassing person was Asaba Rika, who was still wearing her apron.

Shen Yu sat on the single sofa to her left, his parents both sat on the long sofa, Rika sat by herself on the small wooden chair opposite the tea table, a flash of red spreading from her white greasy neck to the tips of her ears, her head down where she was pulling at her hands and hands, not knowing what to do to get better ……

“Eh, don’t mind you guys, it’s her habit in Japan, she’s all very enthusiastic if she has guests ……”

After saying that, Shen Yu wanted to slap herself, how could she say that she was treating her parents like guests again?

“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s just that we’re here all of a sudden ……”

Shen Deyou also felt that something wasn’t quite right after he said it.

Silence again.

It was with great difficulty that everyone’s heads finally turned and Zhang Xiaoru took the teapot and added some tea to Asaba Rika, smiling, “Is Rika still getting used to living here?”

Shen Yu is rolling her eyes as she listens, she has made this her home and is still not used to it.

Asaba Rika hurriedly and respectfully accepted the tea, nodded and said good-naturedly, “Thank you, auntie, it’s been a good stay, thank you very much for your care!”

“That’s good, that’s good, my Shen Yu didn’t bully you, did he? If so, you tell auntie and I’ll fix him up!”

“No no …… Shen Yu is very good to me ……”

Asaba Rika has gradually found herself, thinking that Shen Yu’s mother is also good-looking and soft-spoken, unlike Shen Yu, who is mean.

“I came over today and also bought some food, I plan to cook for you guys, you bought food too didn’t you, then accompany your aunt to cook.”

“Eh? Uh-huh!”

Zhang Xiaoru did not want to be with these two old men, so he dragged Asaba Rika into the kitchen with him.

Seeing that Mum and Asaba Rika had left, Shen Yu didn’t want to stay with Dad either and was ready to get up and go downstairs to work.

Shen Deyou finishes his cup of tea and follows Shen Yu downstairs in silence.

Only when he reached the stairwell did he make a move to take off his shoes and smack him.

“Hey, hey, Dad, say something! I’m the only son you have!” Shen Yu hurriedly dodged.

“Bastard! Let me ask you, why did you lie to us that you were not available tonight? Are you doing something bad behind my back and your mother’s?” Shen Deyou was furious.

“What could I possibly do that’s so bad! It’s just that I’m afraid you’ll come up and nag me.”

After saying that, Shen Yu also muttered in a low voice: “You didn’t lie to me too ……”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, I said next time you come, let me know in advance, sometimes you are all embarrassed if I am not here and only Asaba Rika is at home by himself.”

It’s true, Shen Deyou and his wife are used to making surprise checks and never tell Shen Yu when they come home, just to catch him doing something while he’s living at home.

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, he used to come back and stay at the computer, but this time he happened to be out shopping with a girl, which made Shen Deyou and his wife’s jaws drop.

“Are you two seeing each other?” Shen Deyou couldn’t think of any other reason for Shen Yu to go out to buy groceries than this one.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I just happened to be out of school and she didn’t know where to go for groceries, so I just gave her a lift.” Shen Yu explained.

“You think your father and I are silly?”

“It really didn’t have anything to do with her ……”

Shen Yu felt so tired. He had just finished explaining to Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage, and now he had to explain to his father.

“Tell Uncle Asaba to arrange for Rika to live outside. It’s a waste of time taking care of her, I’ve taken her six times and she can’t even remember her way to school, girls are a lot of trouble and I was late with her this afternoon.”

Shen Yu returned to the ground floor, sat down in his chair and was ready to bore down on his code.

“OK, then I’ll call Mr Asaba now and arrange for her to go tonight.”

With that, Shen Deyou took out his mobile phone and, in front of him, scratched it a few times before dialing a number.

Shen Yu’s hands are tapping on the keyboard, but his ears are pricked up uncontrollably, as if he can hear a beeping sound coming from the phone.

Sudden rapid heartbeat and an inexplicable feeling of panic ……

“Duh …… duh …… duh ……”

Shen Yu stood up and coldly grabbed his dad’s mobile phone, and Shen Deyou was caught unawares.

The call on the other end was also answered.

Zhang Xiaoru’s voice came: “What are you doing? You can’t come up and say something! Why are you calling?”

Shen Yu : “……”

Fooled!

Shen Deyou looks very pleased with himself. As a veteran in the business world, he can’t even hear his son’s moment of anger, and now he has swindled him.

“Give me your phone, I’m really calling this time, I just got the wrong number.” Shen Deyou laughed.

“Boring.”

Shen Yu tossed the phone back to him and continued, “Anyway, let me make it clear, she and I are not the kind of relationship you think we are, I’m just worried that she doesn’t know her way around and it’s not safe for her to stay somewhere else, and she’s silly and doesn’t even know she’s been abducted.”

“Oh, so that’s it.” Shen Deyou continued to laugh.

“When she gets familiar with the area, I will naturally help her find a house outside, it’s not so convenient to live together now.” Shen Yu went on to explain.

“Well, responsible, good.” Shen Deyou nods his head in praise.

Shen Yu finally gave up and said breathlessly, “Dad, will you grow up!”

“Is that how you talk to your dad.”

Shen Deyou said with a stern face, “You’re the one who’s immature, starting a family is the right way to go, you can’t have children by tinkering with all that crap all day. You’re still not impressed?”

“It’s not the same thing, I’m not in the mood for love right now.”

“Then why did you just grab my phone?”

“Didn’t I explain it to you ……”

Shen Deyou moved a stool and sat down in front of Shen Yu, patted his thigh and said, “Brat, you don’t understand, love is not something that you can force or reject whenever you want.”

“Dad, are you ashamed to say that, my goose bumps are rising ……”

Shen Yu stretched out his arms and sure enough, he got a big goosebump, I wonder what soap opera Dad heard that from.

“Don’t you interrupt, I’m telling you the truth!”

Shen Deyou said, “When I was about your age, all I thought about was making money, and I never thought about having a relationship, but then I met your mother, and you can’t really tell, you were just a little bit away, just a little bit, from losing you in the world.”

Thinking of his old self, Shen Deyou also sighed a little, “So don’t blame Dad for being nosy, there are some things you really regret for the rest of your life if you miss them.”

Shen Yu was silent for a moment and then puffed out a laugh, “Dad, I’m not a nerd, I know more than you, it’s just that I have a cool brain and know what I want for myself.”

“You’re a human being, not a machine.”

Shen Deyou reached out and nudged Shen Yu’s heart.

“You can fool the brain, but you can’t fool the heartbeat.”

Shen Yu : “……?”
