Chapter 89 – You sleep here tonight

Asaba Rika woke up early today.

When I woke up, I first looked in Shen Yu’s room and saw that his door was still closed, so I tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up and then went back to my room to freshen up.

He pulled a small suitcase out from under the bed and filled it with all the things he wanted to bring with him, such as clothes for tomorrow and the day after, not knowing how many days he would be staying at Shen Yu’s house, which he hadn’t told her about.

The gifts we bought last night were carefully packed, a box of face masks for Zhang Xiaoru, a tin of tea for Shen Deyou, and a box of mooncakes at the mall last night, although Shen Yu said there must be too many mooncakes at home to eat them all, but today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so mooncakes are definitely the best choice.

Su Zhifu sent us her homemade mooncakes, which were super tasty, fluffy and not too sweet or greasy.

After getting her bags ready, she went back outside and cleaned the house briefly, tying up the rubbish bags and putting them by the door to take out and throw away on her way out later.

Having done so, she sat dutifully on the sofa, playing with her phone and waiting for Shen Yu to wake up.

It’s not that Shen Yu woke up late, but she got up early, it’s only eight in the morning.

I hadn’t slept much since last night thinking about going to his house for the holidays today. I tossed and turned with my phone all night looking up notes, nervous and expectant, afraid I wouldn’t do well.

Even so, I woke up this morning in high spirits. It’s true that sleepiness has a lot to do with the willingness of the person concerned to embrace the new day.

” Shen Yu! Good morning!”

Shen Yu had just opened the door to his room and had not yet finished yawning, but when he heard her shout, he was interrupted and could not finish his yawn.

“Morning.”

Shen Yu gave her a look and went into the bathroom to wash up.

As he washes his face, he habitually reaches for the cleanser, only to find a new one next to him, the same one he’s almost out of.

It could not have appeared out of thin air, and he did not buy it, so it could only have been bought by Asaba Rika.

Shen Yu didn’t ask her, just picked it up and put it down again, squeezed a bit of cleanser into her hands and used the method she taught her, washing her face in circular motions from bottom to top, massaging the greasier triangle for a while, and then finally washing it off with a splash of Qing Shui.

Once I had cleaned my face, it felt like my skin was breathing, it was so refreshing and comfortable, and I felt refreshed.

“Have you packed all your things?”

“Uh-huh! We’re ready to go any time!”

Shen Yu was in his room packing and she was watching from the doorway of his room.

Autumn has arrived in Sunan and Rika has changed her look for the season.

The Chinese elders, as I checked last night, prefer girls who are well-dressed and skilful.

So today she changed into a goose yellow knitted tunic with a beige bustier skirt, showing just a section of her pretty little legs and a pair of little boots.

Rika was so beautiful today that Shen Yu couldn’t help but look at her twice.

” Shen Yu …… Do you need me to fold your clothes …… I fold them super neatly!”

Rika watched Shen Yu stuffing clothes and miscellaneous items into her backpack in a flurry.

“No need.”

Shen Yu doesn’t have as much stuff as she does, so one backpack is all she needs, with her laptop in the compartment, two pieces of cheerful clothes tucked in between, a mobile phone charging cable, a mobile hard drive and two books all tucked together.

Does it help to be tidy? Once the backpack is zipped up, who knows what a mess it is inside.

“Do you have your computer and drawing board with you?” Shen Yu asked her, remembering.

“Eh?”

Looking at her with a question mark on her face, Shen Yu knew she didn’t have it with her and said, “This is the most important thing, going home is just a change of work, of course, you can take a break if you want, I’ll just get someone else to help with the original painting if I can’t finish it ……”

“Please do let me finish alone!!!”

Asaba Rika rushed back to her room, opened her suitcase and took her computer and drawing board and other tools with her.

” Shen Yu , do you need to leave food for Xiaomeng for a few days?” Asaba Rika asked, looking at Bai Xiaomeng who was eating his breakfast next to the cat bowl.

“No need, let’s go.”

Shen Yu slung his backpack over his shoulder, took the car keys, and seeing Asaba Rika’s suitcase, couldn’t help but ask, “Are you planning to stay at my parents’ house?”

“It’s all useful!” Rika said.

Shen Yu rolled his eyes and called out to Bai Xiaomeng, ” Bai Xiaomeng, are you leaving?”

“Meow!”

Bai Xiaomeng rushed to take two bites of cat food and ran over to Shen Yu, who then carried him downstairs.

After opening the trunk and putting away the luggage, Asaba Rika pulled open the passenger door and prepared to get into the car, but Bai Xiaomeng took the passenger seat first, looking at Asaba Rika with a wary face.

“Can I sit here and Xiaomeng sit in the back?”

“Meow!”

Neither Rika nor Xiaomeng would give up the passenger seat, so they ended up sitting together in the passenger seat.

But Bai Xiaomeng is a kitten after all. When Shen Yu got into the car, he had a bright idea to give up the passenger seat to Rika, and he jumped into Shen Yu’s arms.

The car started and the two men and the cat went home together.

The new house is in the city centre and it is a holiday and there is significantly more traffic on the road.

Asaba Rika turns slightly sideways, like a curious kitten, probing at the buildings, roads, shops and pedestrians flashing by outside the window on the right ……

She was looking purely at the scenery, without the slightest thought of remembering the road, she saw wherever the car drove.

Sometimes when passing through the heart of the commercial cbd, she would keep looking up and up again along the glass before exclaiming, “It’s so high eh ……”

Shen Yu drove the car and occasionally looked at her when he looked in the right rear view mirror.

She didn’t notice Shen Yu’s gaze, her attention was on the world outside. Sometimes she was quiet, her eyes wide and unblinking, looking out of the window, her hair draped over her shoulders, like a line in the sunlight, she was dazed and thinking about something, the scene looked like a painting.

Half an hour later, Shen Yu pulled into the block’s car park and the two of them went over to wait for the lift with their large bags of stuff.

When the lift came down and two people came out, Asaba Rika stepped aside and stood obediently beside Shen Yu.

After moving the luggage into the lift and closing the door, Shen Yu pressed the twenty-third floor.

As the lift rises, the air pressure makes the eardrums slightly uncomfortable.

“You can open your mouth and your ears won’t feel blocked.”

“Really? ……”

Asaba Rika tried it and yawned, Shen Yu was infected by her and yawned too.

“Really yeah!”

When other passengers came in, Rika stood quietly beside Shen Yu and stopped talking, holding something in his hand and seemingly nervous, his eyes blinking at the numbers of the lift floor.

The lift soon reached the twenty-third floor and Asaba Rika followed Shen Yu out, first standing still and looking around curiously, it was only the corridor between the lifts.

After a few steps, Shen Yu stops in front of the main door, number 2302, and takes out the key to open the door.

The door opened and he entered the house. After a brief glance, his father was sitting on the sofa reading the financial daily newspaper and his mother was cleaning the house.

It wasn’t until Asaba Rika, carrying a large bag behind him, timidly emerged with a small head and bowed slightly to the two elders, “Hello uncle, hello auntie.”

Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru’s eyes lit up and they were instantly happy, greeting each other enthusiastically, bypassing their son, who was holding the cat, to talk to Rika.

“Rika is here! Come on in, come on in! No need to change your shoes, just step on it!”

“Uncle and Auntie, this is my gift to you ……”

“Oh, too polite, just think of it as going back to your own home, and what gifts, so many ah …… Shen Yu you do not help carry, how is it!”

Shen Yu wanted to say something, but since he entered the house, his parents have finally noticed him and criticized him, making him feel that Rika is their daughter and he is just a bin find ……

Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru said that Rika did not need to bring so many gifts, but they were still very happy in their hearts. The old couple couldn’t get enough of the feeling that it was only right to let their son get married early.

With a personality like his son’s, he needs a wife as caring and virtuous as Rika to get by.

“Auntie has already cleaned up your room for you, how about staying here for a few days this holiday Rika? Auntie will teach you how to cook delicious food!”

“Mmmmmm ……”

Asaba Rika nodded her head nicely, thinking to herself that her uncle and aunt were very nice.

Then Zhang Xiaoru took her suitcase and led her to her room.

Shen Yu just watched them both open the door to the room, with a head full of questions that went straight to the sky –

What a mistake!

That’s your son’s room!!!
