Chapter 8 – Ah, the damn mosquitoes

While washing up, Asaba Rika also saw the empty bathtub in the bathroom, which had been washed clean.

The three little goldfish were in the big red bucket and when they saw Asaba Rika approaching, they spat a few bubbles at her and then sank again, as if in protest at the invasion of their home.

“Wow.”

Asaba Rika is excited to see the clean, porcelain white bath.

He’s really a mouth-breather. He’s obviously quite nice, but he always talks mean.

Asaba Rika reached out and touched the bathtub, which was so big that two people could wash together.

You can lie flat with your legs stretched out and put hot water on them to make them comfortable.

Rika didn’t have a hot bath last night, so she felt uncomfortable and couldn’t sleep in the old alleyway.

After brushing her teeth, she carefully arranged her hair in the mirror again and briefly touched up her make-up.

Japanese girls are very concerned about their image and will always wear make-up when they go out to meet people and not let others see their bad side.

I didn’t know Shen Yu was awake, but he saw how dishevelled he looked and it was humiliating.

There is also a small pink bud on her pale arm, which was bitten by a mosquito yesterday and it tickles a little, so she pinches a cross on it with her fingernails hard so that it doesn’t itch anymore.

Unbeknownst to me, it had taken a little longer to get into the washroom when Shen Yu’s voice came from outside, “Did you fall down the toilet?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Asaba Rika thumping out.

“Sorry! I’ve kept you waiting! I was fixing my makeup, it was so ugly just now.”

Shen Yu didn’t wait for her, he was already full.

Asaba Rika felt his gaze and looked down a little shyly.

“It was pretty good just now too, what’s the point of wasting this time.”

Is this a compliment?

Asaba Rika was a bit unsure, he felt he was being mean again, after all, in Japan it is not polite for a girl to meet people without make-up.

“Sorry well, I’ll be earlier next time.”

“Eat up, the noodles won’t taste good if they’re mushy.”

Shen Yu put away the bowl he had finished eating and placed another portion of noodles in front of her.

The smell alone is tempting enough, and Asaba Rika is already hungry after not having eaten anything since yesterday’s dinner.

“It smells so good!”

Asaba Rika’s eyes glowed and she held her chopsticks in her hands in front of her chest, as if the slightest thing was enough to make her fuss for a while.

“What kind of noodles are these? It looks so delicious!”

“Soup noodles in sous-vide.”

The soup is a Sunan speciality, and Shen Yu has been eating it for years and knows exactly how Auntie Wang’s family does it. The soup is simmered before dawn, with chicken and duck bones, and some distilled spirits added for extra flavour.

In terms of presentation, the soup is clear and refreshing, with thin white noodles and dots of spring onion, covered with a few pieces of white and transparent stewed meat.

“I’m on!”

Asaba Rika first picked up a few noodles with chopsticks, blew on them and served them in the mouth, the texture was smooth and springy.

Another piece of casserole, tender and melt-in-your-mouth.

A final taste of the soup reveals the sweetness of the wine brew, which combines perfectly with the aroma of the noodles.

“So delicious!!!”

Asaba Rika’s taste buds were activated and he also tried several orders of eating the noodles, such as spooning a bit of soup, a few noodles, a small slice of meat, a handful of side dishes and finally eating them all together in one big bite, like Fujiwara did.

“Superb!!!”

Looking at her happy face, Shen Yu felt that she was the one enjoying the food, while she was just filling her stomach.

It was a waste of time for the food show to not invite Asaba Rika to be a taster.

” Shen Yu , can we continue eating this noodle tomorrow, tomorrow?”

When they finally finished, Asaba Rika didn’t even have any soup left in her bowl, and her appetite was much better than many girls, like many of Shen Yu’s female classmates, who never drank soup when they ate noodles.

“Just as long as you don’t get tired of eating it.”

“How can you get tired of such delicious noodles.”

Asaba Rika takes it upon herself to clean up the waste from her meal, rubs her tummy and leans back on the sofa, content.

Bai Xiaomeng jumps onto the sofa, stomps her little bottom in disgust and arches her hard again.

“Huh, Bai Xiaomeng”

When Asaba Rika tried to touch it, Bai Xiaomeng jumped out of the way to prevent her from doing so.

Shen Yu reminded, “You’re lying in Bai Xiaomeng’s place.”

“Ahhhh.”

“Meow.”

“I’m sorry I’m sorry.”

Asaba Rika moved to the corner of the sofa, which was Bai Xiaomeng’s exclusive place, and no one could sit there except Shen Yu.

In fact, most of the time, Bai Xiaomeng will get into Shen Yu’s arms whenever he is sitting, but if Shen Yu is not there, he will run to the balcony or the yard to sunbathe, and only if it is raining will he run to the sofa.

The exception today was Bai Xiaomeng, who ran out of Shen Yu’s arms to defend his sovereignty when he saw Asaba Rika taking his place.

“So many mosquitoes last night, Shen Yu. Did you get bitten?”

Asaba Rika stretched out her pale arm and the buddle that she had pinched across was back in place and looked even bigger and red like a buddle.

Shen Yu also looks like he wants to pinch it, and the feel is probably very q-tip.

Because this little Pod looks so cute, it’s only natural to want to pinch it because of the cute aggression,” Shen Yu explained.

“I slept well.”

“Why don’t mosquitoes bite you?”

Asaba Rika is very envious, she is the body that often attracts mosquito bites, the key is that the skin is sensitive, a bite, immediately have an itchy Pod.

” Bai Xiaomeng will help me catch mosquitoes.”

“Meow.”

It’s so human, why wouldn’t her cat help catch mosquitoes, no, she doesn’t even have a cat.

“So what should I do, I’m going to get bitten again tonight.”

“Buy an electric mosquito tablet later, to repel mosquitoes before bed, with the air conditioning on, basically no more.”

“Uh-huh.”

Shen Yu got up and went into the room and brought out a bottle of cool oil, a clear glass bottle with a bright green liquid.

“Try this.”

It’s a cheap and practical product that can be used at home for insect bites, dizziness and drowsiness.

Asaba Rika, who had never used it before, was curious: “It smells good, is this little bottle all you drink?”

“”

Can’t you get your brain right!

Shen Yu said breathlessly, “It’s for painting!”

I don’t know, I’m just being mean

Asaba Rika thought with resignation, then stretched out her white arm and waited for Shen Yu to help her apply it.

“Paint it yourself!”
