Chapter 74 – Backed into a corner

“Now where are we going?”

“Go take the underground.”

Asaba Rika followed Shen Yu, with the class monitor leading the way, and the group made their way in a big way to the underground station near the school.

The destination of this trip is a newly opened farm in the suburbs, in a remote location, as it is a group registration, and a bus will pick up and drop off at the farm after the underground exit.

From the conversations of the other students in the class, this farm has a very good reputation these days, especially for the wilderness program, which uses the latest equipment.

Asaba Rika has taken the underground only a handful of times, but the underground in Japan is so crowded at rush hour that there are special pushers outside the doors to help passengers get in.

Even if the underground is very convenient, most Japanese girls do not like to take the underground, after all, every day to go out to put on make-up, it is easy to touch the make-up, or some of the cooler clothes, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to do something offensive.

“Must be a lot of people?”

“Luckily, the crowds are more even on the weekends and you can squeeze up there.”

When you arrive at a metro station, swipe your card if you have one, swipe your mobile phone if you don’t.

Shen Yu taught Asaba Rika how to get it, she was full of curiosity. After swiping her card to enter the station, she went to the waiting area and waited, there were indeed not particularly many people, but there were about ten people lined up in front of each numbered door, everyone was quietly playing with their mobile phones, looking up every now and then to see the direction the underground was coming from.

“Come here, it’s less crowded.”

“Mmmmmm!”

Shen Yu took Rika to the next door, which was less crowded. If he hadn’t taken Rika with him, he wouldn’t have dared to stay too far away from Zhao Yage, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to find them in the crowd.

Five minutes later, the underground arrived and Asaba Rika could see through the glass that there were many people standing inside the underground and felt a bit desperate.

” Shen Yu , I can’t seem to get in!”

“Yes you can, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to get in until the evening.”

The hatch opened and by the time the station passengers had alighted, a number of seats had opened up and those waiting outside were streaming in.

“Follow me!”

Shen Yu subconsciously took Asaba Rika’s wrist and led her to squeeze inside.

Rika froze and, with a small blush, became dumbfounded and followed him obediently.

The hatch was open for a short time, and as some people inside dawdled out, those outside who hadn’t got in couldn’t wait and started to push their way in, making for chaos at the door.

With Shen Yu in front of her, his 1.85 height and build, and Asaba Rika behind him, the crowds were kept at bay and she was able to squeeze into the underground without any problems.

Shen Yu pulled her to a corner of the seat and the wall so that she could stand here and then he would block the opening of this corner so that the people outside could not squeeze her.

The doors were closed and some passengers who had not squeezed in had no choice but to wait for the next train.

The train started and Asaba Rika wobbled a little, but the corner was against the wall, so she was able to stand firmly in the corner.

Shen Yu stands there in front of her, his gaze parallel to the window, the occasional flash of a billboard reflecting a light in his eyes.

Asaba Rika is close to him and sneaks up on him with her eyes.

The crowdedness outside seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she felt unusually safe and comfortable in this little pinch of Shen Yu blocking the way.

” Shen Yu ……”

“?”

“You’re sweating. ……”

“Hot.”

“Let me wipe it off for you!”

With that, Asaba Rika was about to get a tissue from his bag when Shen Yu tilted his head and wiped the sweat off his shirt on his shoulder.

The underground was crowded, the air conditioning was not working, and with so many people behind him, he would have crushed Rika if he had not braced himself against the wall.

Shen Yu was relieved when the train moved on and everyone gradually took up their positions.

In this crowded place, Asaba Rika, in a safe corner, barely conceals her curiosity, her big eyes darting around to take in the people.

There were people who managed to get seats, people playing games on their mobile phones, people listening to songs with headphones, students discussing games, office workers with bitter faces, grandparents chattering, and couples hugging each other like nobody’s business.

The girl was about the same height as Rika and the boy was about the same height as Shen Yu, except they didn’t occupy this safe corner, so the boy became a human pillar, the girl with a happy face hugging his waist and her face pressed against his chest.

Aren’t they hot? ……

Rika thought, somewhat sourly, that it must be especially hot!

If instead she was holding Shen Yu ……唔……

Asaba Rika felt her heart being hit by a deer and hurriedly withdrew her thoughts.

But if Shen Yu looks down naturally, all he can see is Rika, which is awkward.

” Shen Yu , did you used to ride the underground a lot?”

“I had to take the underground to and from school every day in middle school and high school.”

“There will be a lot of people at that time of day, won’t there?”

“It’s good to get used to it.”

The two chatted for a while, but Shen Yu’s answers were almost always used to break up the conversation, and any other girl might not have known how to pick up the conversation.

Unfortunately Asaba Rika never runs out of things to talk about, she looks at Shen Yu with a smile and asks him, ” Why did Shen Yu think of taking me out with him today, you ignored me for the first two weeks ……”

Shen Yu looked expressionlessly at the car window for a while before asking her back, “Did I ignore you?”

“Yes! Just say ‘no time'”

“It’s not just ignoring you.”

Asaba Rika was so angry that he finally shut his little mouth and didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Shen Yu was happy to have a free ride, but with so many stops, it would have been another half hour of standing.

Asaba Rika felt a little tired after standing for a long time, so she leaned at a wider angle on the angle, a pair of small legs angled out a little, shoes just between Shen Yu’s two shoes, occasionally Shen Yu moved his legs, their shoes touching, she immediately retracted like lightning, when he did not move, and then sneak over, very mischievous.

Shen Yu spotted her little gesture and warned, “If you step on my shoes again, I’ll take them off and tickle your feet with feathers!”

Asaba Rika was startled. She was afraid of having her feet tickled, so she retracted her restless feet and stood still.

When we passed a station with a lot of passengers, there were a lot of people in the underground at once, and Shen Yu, whose muscles had not long been relaxed, was unable to stand still and was pushed by the passengers entering the door and crushed into Asaba Rika.

Asaba Rika tensed up, her eyes widened and her small hands clutched the corners of her coat, feeling him about to pounce.

Shen Yu’s chest, just under three centimetres from her little face, seemed so firm and hot that it burned her little face red.

Her little nose twitched and she sniffed at Shen Yu’s scent.

Then raised his head and looked him in the eye.

The little face is a little pink and puffy.

” Shen Yu ……”

“You, you smell so good ……”
