Chapter 72 – A story that takes place in the future

“What does your brain think about all day?”

Shen Yu pokes Asaba Rika in the head and she flops backwards into the corner of the sofa, covering her face with a pillow, embarrassed and wanting nothing more than to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

“Who called you, you ……” Asaba Rika explained, her voice muffled by the huggy pillow.

“What’s wrong with me?” Shen Yu stood in front of the sofa and looked at the writhing maggot.

“And you’re doing weird things with my voice!” Asaba Rika took away the hug pillow and said with shame and anger, “That’s why I, that’s why I misunderstood ……”

He finished by covering his face with a pillow again and squirming like a maggot on the couch.

Bai Xiaomeng jumped up too, jumping on her back and stomping and stomping as she took Xiaomeng’s nest.

Shen Yu wants to talk and stop talking and stop talking and wanting.

He doesn’t seem to have done anything strange, but Xiaomeng I said to him ‘I like Shen Yu the most’.

A girl just likes to rehash old scores, when it’s obvious she’s the one who’s imagining things.

Shen Yu coughed twice and said, “Then I’ll change the voice packet some other time and have Jiang Ningle record it for me, okay?”

“No!!!”

“Why doesn’t it work again? I can always find a new one online then.”

“No!!!”

Asaba Rika rolls over and sits up, while Bai Xiaomeng rushes back to his nest to occupy it.

She stammered, “Forget it this time …… but you mustn’t let Xiaomeng I say those strange things in the future …… or… …I’ll cry.”

Shen Yu : “……”

Thought you were going to say run away from home.

Girls are just trouble.

After the old scores were settled, Asaba Rika felt more comfortable and asked him excitedly, “So where are we going for the weekend?”

” There’s a farm over in Tai Hu that has wild barbecues, live wild …… outside cs battles, you know this one, teams of two, shooting guns.” Shen Yu explained.

” Shen Yu Wouldn’t it have been better to make it clear like this earlier ……” Asaba Rika muttered in a small voice, “It must have been deliberate… …”

“What did you say?”

“No no!”

“So are you going?”

“I’m going!”

Just by listening to the activities, Asaba Rika is already excited about the idea of being a young girl and doing these outdoor activities.

She caught a certain point and came back to Shen Yu and asked, “Shen Yu, so we must be a team?”

“I’m not teaming up with you, you go team up with Yage.”

“Ah, why ……”

“You’re such a rookie, you’ll be the first to get killed.”

“Hmph! I’m going to go wash the dishes!”

Asaba Rika did not want to talk to him and got up to clear the dishes and the kitchen.

Shen Yu doesn’t want to team up with this rookie, but with Ke Liangji, and he’ll be sniping Asaba Rika and Zhao Yage with Ke Liangji.

Imagine yourself chasing Asaba Rika, who is running headlong with a gun, grinning at her and shouting, “Run, flower girl, shout, hey, hey, hey!

Something was wrong, Shen Yu thought, when did he become interested in playing games?

If it was before, this event would have been a no-show, right? ……

Calmly, Shen Yu sits down on the sofa, picks up the kettle and pours himself a glass of water.

He was surprised to find his mug washed clean. He had been using this porcelain white mug for years because he was too lazy to change it, and there was inevitably some limescale at the bottom from the usual tea, coffee and whatnot, and now it was washed clean.

On the coffee table, there is also a cup for Asaba Rika to drink from. Her cup is a cute cat cup with two protruding cat ears on the rim, in addition to the painted cat design.

Shen Yu picked up her cup and made a drinking motion, always feeling like those two cat ears would poke her eyes, but it’s the girls who like such fancy things.

He looks back into the kitchen and Asaba Rika seems to be in a good mood, washing dishes and wiping down the hob with a bit of alacrity.

It had been almost a month since she arrived at the house, and Shen Yu took a hard look at the old days before she realized with a start that various parts of the house had changed differently because of her arrival.

Asaba Rika quickly cleans up the kitchen, hangs the apron on the hook by the door, opens the fridge door and takes out a box of strawberries, washes them and puts them on a plate, brings them out with both hands and puts them on the coffee table in front of Shen Yu.

” Shen Yu , eat the strawberries, this time they are a bit sour.”

She twists one herself and eats it. When she eats a strawberry, she starts biting it from the tip of her heart, where it tastes better, before finally removing the cap and sending the whole butt into her mouth.

Shen Yu is a different story, pulling the cap off the strawberry and shoving one into her mouth to finish it off.

When she saw him eating, Rika would ask, “How was it, was it good?”

“It’s OK ……”

Shen Yu gave an ambiguous answer, she always likes to ask herself what she likes, for example, if he just answered that it is delicious, then for sure next time when Rika buys strawberries, she will give priority to the sour strawberries today, and the same goes for cooking, if she finds a dish that Shen Yu likes more, she will make more of it.

With Asaba Rika’s study abroad still a long way off, it’s a constant battle and Shen Yu must make sure her stomach doesn’t get the better of her.

“Are you free these days?” Shen Yu asks.

“Are we going somewhere?” Rika perked up.

“How can I have so much time to play all day?” Shen Yu said breathlessly, “Did you know about that virtual girlfriend game project of mine?”

“Mmmmmm! I know, I can do original art and then I can do scripts, and I’ve played a lot of games, so I’m useful! Shen Yu must bring me along this time!” Asaba Rika said in a rush.

Shen Yu knows nothing about what Asaba Rika is good at, so he couldn’t do without her, but Rika is afraid he will leave her behind.

“So …… if I give you all this, can you do it?” Shen Yu asked, somewhat apologetically.

“I can do it! I’m not busy right now, I’ve finished my comic, so I have plenty of time!” Asaba Rika thought Shen Yu didn’t trust her ability, so she hurriedly agreed.

“Okay then, the script and the art part, I’ll leave it to you, and then I’ll take care of the programming part.” Shen Yu had no other choice and gritted his teeth.

Asaba Rika, whose ability to grasp the point is always so unusual, asked excitedly and somewhat excitedly, ” Shen Yu , so …… it’s just the two of us this time?”

“Yes.” Thinking she was finding the workload too much, Shen Yu added, “If you can’t do it, I can get outside artwork help too ……”

“No need! Shen Yu , I can do it!” Asaba Rika said in a rush.

“Is it bad to have help?” Shen Yu wondered.

“…… It’s important to have a unified style, both in terms of script and painting style, if it’s done by one person!”

Asaba Rika found a reason and after thinking about it, she asked, “What kind of background is Shen Yu planning to make for the game?”

“Sci-fi style.”

Shen Yu says: “A story that takes place in the distant future.”

Asaba Rika immediately had a flash of inspiration: “What does Shen Yu think of a story about a young girl with artificial intelligence and a young man?”

Shen Yu’s eyes lit up: “Great.”
