This is not the first time that Asaba Li Xiang has visited Shen Yu's home.

She came to stay for six days during the Mid-Autumn Festival, once for dinner at the beginning of November, and again half a month ago, when Zhang Xiaoru taught her how to cook bacon.

Before she lived in the house, Shen Yu only came back for the New Year holidays, and most of the time it was his parents who visited him at the old house.

When Li Xiang moved in, he came home more often, and he always came back with a big bag of stuff.

It's not that he's idle, but his mother always calls him and asks him to take Li Xiang back, it doesn't matter if he goes back or not, he wants Li Xiang to go back, but Li Xiang himself doesn't know how to get there, so Shen Yu has to take him.

The only time they've been back to see him is once, not counting the September visit, and they even called him before they went to ask if it was convenient for them.

When he got off the bus, Shen Yu took the initiative to carry the bags, while Li Xiang accompanied him empty-handed.

I can't help it if I don't take it! Or I'll be scolded again when I walk in the door!

Li Xiang was a big roadie but knew what to do when she got into the lift. She nimbly ordered the twenty-third floor and when the lift opened, she went over to the right of the corridor and stopped in front of the big door of 2302.

Shen Yu was about to take the key and open the door when her eyes widened.

Li Xiang turned the small bag on his shoulder to his side, took a key from it and clicked it twice to open the door of his house.

Seeing Shen Yu's stunned look, she proudly cupped the key in her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, smiling, "This is from my aunt!"

"Why did my mother give you the keys!"

"Because I'm good."

"You're a good boy, damn it, speak up."

Li Xiang said honestly, "It's really from my aunt. She said you often forget your keys when you come home, so she gave me a copy to keep and said I could come over and have dinner with her when I wanted to. ......"

Shen Yu Desire to speak and stop speaking ......

He doesn't know what his mother is thinking, but she and his father have been thinking all day about how to set them up, while Shen Yu himself is still calm, and Li Xiang seems to have been cooked by them.

I even gave you the keys to the house. In a few days, should we buy a new house for both of us and add your name to it as well?

Shen Yu held out his hand, "Give me the keys, I never forget to bring them."

Li Xiang hastily hid the key in her purse. For a girl, having the key to her favorite guy's house is a status symbol! How can I give it back to him?

"No way! It's from my aunt! Shen Yu is going to talk to auntie! Hmph!"

"Just give me the keys first and then you can tell her no ......"

"No! May! Yes!"

Li Xiang gave him a slight tongue lashing, but would not give him the keys.

The two chatted for a long time at the door, and Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru, who were in the house, came out.

Li Xiang then dragged Shen Yu happily in.

"Uncle and Auntie, we're back!"

"Ouch, come in, come in, what are you doing standing at the door, is there going to be traffic on the road?"

When Zhang Xiaoru met Li Xiang, he was as eager to see her as he was to see his daughter-in-law, and the more he talked to Li Xiang, the more Zhang Xiaoru liked her.

"No traffic!"

"Is your daughter cold? Look at how little you're wearing, don't freeze your body ......"

"It's not cold! I'm wearing a lot of ......"

Li Xiang has gotten to know Zhang Xiaoru very well, and she likes this middle-aged woman not only because she is Shen Yu's mother, but also because Zhang Xiaoru is very much like her ideal person, being a good wife, caring for her family, cooking well, and so on.

"Auntie, we made some bacon, but not much ...... only took a piece for you and uncle to try, the first time I made it I don't know if it's good, and these pickled radishes, Shen Yu and I have them every day, they are still very tasty, we brought some for you to try too ......"

Li Xiang brought out the bacon, pickled radish and other food she had brought with her. Although it wasn't anything expensive, it was obvious that Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru were very happy, even happier than the gifts she had bought at the mall last time.

Zhang Xiaoru is fond of Li Xiang, not because of the smallest things, such as the fact that she uses 'we' instead of 'I' when she speaks, like 'we made We made some bacon', 'We brought you some'.

She doesn't take any credit for herself, and she always takes Shen Yu into account, so how can Zhang Xiaoru not like her?

Shen Yu is too ignorant to know that such a girl is a good wife, but Zhang Xiaoru and Shen Deyou don't want to miss out on such a good daughter-in-law.

"Well! It smells good, it's only been made in the last few days, right? The weather is good, it's quite good, so try it tonight, it just so happens that there are still Dutch beans in the fridge, auntie will teach you how to make fried bacon with Dutch beans, Shen Yu he likes it too."

"Yes!"

Li Xiang secretly remembers that he knows another dish that Shen Yu likes to eat.

It was already five o'clock in the evening, and the winter evenings came early enough to make dinner at leisure a little earlier than before.

Li Xiang didn't have much to talk about with Shen Deyou, and after being greeted by Zhang Xiaoru, she ran into the kitchen to prepare dinner with her aunt.

Now that the game is online, Shen Yu has some time to spare, and when he comes back for dinner, he doesn't run to his room to be on the computer, he just sits on the sofa and watches TV with some boredom.

"How's that game of yours going now?"

Shen Deyou takes a sip of his tea and looks at his son on the sofa.

"It only came online last week, so it looks OK now, how do you know that Dad?"

"What do you care how I know ......"

Lao Shen digressed and did not betray Li Xiang.

Shen Yu, with a little thought, knew that her father and mother must have asked her in the group, but there was nothing to hide, and it was good to know, so that his father would have a better impression of him, after all, he was doing his job now.

"How much did you make?"

"It should make that amount."

Shen Yu gestures with his finger to a seven.

"Seven thousand dollars? It's just as well ...... It's better than you spending all day on a broken computer and dropping money into it every day, now you know it's not easy to earn money, right?"

"...... Well, seven thousand."

I always think, you're not too good at games, why don't you just honestly find a good girl and get married, when you graduate, come to work for me, our family can only inherit this property to you, you come early to take over, your father I can also retire early, when I was young, I promised your mother to take her around the world, so far even the map of China has not gone She nags me in the ear day after day, it's annoying ......"

"Or you want to go to work on your own can, I know you guys engaged in computer, the salary is quite high, but you do not want to run to the north, just stay home this side, dry two or three years back to my work, our family this industry ......"

Shen Yu was a bit confused, but he wanted me to get married early, go home early and inherit the family business, and then the two of us would travel around the world.

Traveling around the world is of course fine, getting married early is not something he would agree to, his family is in industry and he is not interested in this business.

"Eh Dad, let me talk to you about something."

"What is it? No money borrowed!"

Shen Deyou started to block Shen Yu's idea, before he had borrowed a lot of money to get computers, servers and equipment, and still hasn't repaid it, but also aggravated the state of going crazy.

"This is still so clear between us ......"

"If you don't have money for marriage, I'll buy you a house and a car, if you borrow money for games, no."

"This game project is my first bucket of money, my idea is to be a technology company, technology you know? The kind with a market cap of hundreds of billions."

"You earn seven thousand dollars and tell your father that you want to earn hundreds of billions, Ma Yun is not even as lazy as you!"

"Seven hundred thousand!"

"Seven ......?"

Seeing that Dad was silent, Shen Yu now found an opportunity to say, "I plan to formally set up a company, but the capital may not be enough, Dad, how about you invest a million for me, if I do not pay you back in a year, I ......"

"And what about you? Hmm?" Shen Deyou pressed.

"I'll just find a girl and get married! I'll have two grandchildren for you and my mother to play with, and then I'll go home and inherit the family business and never think of anything else!" Shen Yu was so desperate that he jumped up from the pot.

"Okay, deal." Shen Deyou said calmly as he lit a cigarette.

"Where's the money for ......?" Shen Yu held out his hand expectantly.

Shen Deyou slapped his hand away in disgust and said, "Have you ever seen an investor give you all the money at once? I'll give it to you in installments when your company is up and running first. You think a million is a small amount, and you said you'll get married if you don't have the money to pay it back, it's all cheap for you."

"Then I started the company to make more money, so that I could get married and have children and have a better life."

"Yoo-hoo, it's rare that you'd think that, so you'll want to remember that."

Shen Deyou ignored him and pulled open the balcony door to go outside for a cigarette, halfway through smoking, and came shivering in from the cold: "Getting old and old, not resistant to freezing ......"

As Shen Yu sits on the sofa wondering if he has stepped in a hole again, the aroma of dinner is already wafting from the kitchen.

Li Xiang came out with a hot dish, wearing a goose yellow apron, she looked very good: "Uncle, let's eat! Shen Yu, it's time to eat!"

"Fine, Li Xiang, just sit down, make yourself at home ...... Shen Yu! Why are you still sitting there? Why don't you go and help with the dishes?"

Shen Yu: "......"

The dinner was a four-course meal, all home-cooked, with two portions of the bacon that Li Xiang had brought along, fried with Dutch beans.

One of the dishes was stir-fried by Zhang Xiaoru, and the other one was learned by Li Xiang, who is now a pretty good cook and can cook many dishes just by watching them once.

Neither of them made a sound to clarify, just peeking at Shen Yu as he tucked into his dish, he quite liked the fried bacon with Dutch beans.

Shen Yu picked up a piece of fatty and lean bacon and put it in his mouth, feeling that it tasted very good.

After eating for a while, he found that the two plates tasted slightly different. He preferred the other plate of fried bacon with Dutch beans, which had less oil, and ate almost all of it.

"Is that plate better?" Zhang Xiaoru asks.

"Well, you didn't fry them together?" Shen Yu held out his chopsticks and continued to clip.

"That plate was made by Li Xiang."

Shen Yu's chopsticks froze in mid-air and he subconsciously glanced up at her, and could clearly see the happiness in her eyes.

"Oh, it's quite good."

Shen Yu complimented her and continued to eat her dish of fried bacon with Dutch beans as if nothing had happened.

"You don't know how to cook, Li Xiang is going back to Yokohama in a couple of days, I'll see what you eat."

"Then I can't go hungry. ......"

"Don't order takeaway if you can."

Zhang Xiaoru said and gave Li Xiang a big piece of chicken: "Come on, Li Xiang, try this chicken, it's from the countryside, it's delicious."

"Thank you auntie~"

Li Xiang doesn't like chicken skin, but she was slightly embarrassed by the fact that this piece of meat came with chicken skin.

Shen Yu pushed his bowl towards her, and Li Xiang obediently tore off the skin of the chicken and put it into his bowl. Seeing the two old men looking at them in a somewhat ambiguous manner, he took small bites of rice with his bowl, his face slightly red and silent.

Shen Yu also noticed and took the chicken skin to her mouth, spitting, "She doesn't eat chicken skin, she's a picky eater!"

"Nonsense, it's obvious that you crave Li Xiang's chicken skin, how could Li Xiang be a picky eater?"

"......"

She is the pickiest eater of all! She only eats the sides of bread and strawberries don't eat butts!

The family didn't really talk about anything, just a little bit of everything, and Shen Yu was less sullen and silent than he had been the last few times we had eaten together.

After dinner, Shen Yu and Li Xiang took a short break before heading back to the house, as they had classes to attend tomorrow.

"Daughter, be safe on your way home. Call Shen Yu when you get to Yokohama and ask him to pick you up when you get back."

"Mmmmmm! Bye auntie and uncle!"

"When you're done with the New Year, come and spend it with us this year, let's have a good time together!" Zhang Xiaoru seems to be talking about a very common thing.

Shen Yu almost fell over when he heard that. He was already planning for Li Xiang to come and spend New Year's Eve with him!

"Mmmmmm! Yes!" Li Xiang even agreed happily.

"Then when you come to our house for New Year, Auntie will give you a big red packet!"

"You're so sweet, Auntie!"

Shen Yu, with a gloomy face, dragged Li Xiang home.

Probably because she felt a bit of family tonight, and seeing as she was going home in a couple of days, Li Xiang settled down and looked out of the car window at the neon lights.

Shen Yu connected her phone to the Bluetooth and played a Japanese song with a female voice, which was quite nice.

Li Xiang suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a smile, "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, is Shen Yu ready to give me a present? I've already made a wish with Lord Mars!"

"Don't you just love things that are warm, huggable, very cute, fluffy and ...... weird smelling ......"

"Uh-huh! Shen Yu you remember!"

Shen Yu's face is odd, the gift well ...... he has prepared, and has been secretly hidden, for the time being will not tell her what, although it may seem strange a little, but also took him a lot of thought ......

With that in mind, he asked again, "So what are you getting me? I don't want any of your clothes ......"

"Shen Yu What a pervert! I, how could I send my clothes to you ......"

Li Xiang blushed with embarrassment and held out her little hand to gesture, "It's also warm and fluffy and ...... smells like Xiang Xiang ......"

"What is it?"

"I'm not telling you!"

Shen Yu was in a good mood and for the first time was looking forward to receiving a gift.
