"Ladies and gentlemen, the aircraft is descending, the temperature outside is 4 degrees Celsius, the weather is clear, the aircraft is taxiing, please fasten your seat belts, make sure your belongings are properly secured, for your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack in... Day. English"

After a long flight of nearly three hours, Asaba Li Xiang finally arrives home, puts her mobile phone away, straps in her seat belt and looks out of the window with wide eyes.

There was a slight bumpy landing, but once we landed, we felt safe and secure. Li Xiang didn't get excited until the plane had settled and the stewardess arranged for disembarkation.

Not being a frequent flyer either, she dutifully followed the crowd and called Shen Yu as soon as she got on the ferry.

Almost as soon as the call came in, Shen Yu answered.

"Shen Yu! I'm already here!"

Hearing her lively tone of voice, Shen Yu was relieved and the anxiety he had just felt immediately dissipated.

It was probably because she always chattered at every meal, and after I got used to it, I always felt that something was missing when I didn't hear her voice at dinner.

Now it's better, listening to her voice, Shen Yu thinks the taste of a bad takeaway has gone up a notch and is much more palatable.

"Oh, I see."

Shen Yu said and asked her again, "So where are you now?"

"I'm in Yokohama!"

"I asked what you were doing."

"I'm in the car and I'm going to the terminal. What are you doing now? Have you eaten yet? Is it snowing at home? Have you washed the dishes in the kitchen?

Li Xiang chattered and talked to him, holding back words for three hours as if she had to tell him everything in one go.

Shen Yu put his mobile phone on the table and listened to it with the amplifier on, listening to it while he ate.

It wasn't until five minutes later that she had finally finished and Shen Yu was almost full.

"It's a beautiful day at home, I washed the dishes when I got back, I've just finished eating, which of your kitchen rags is for the kitchen table?"

"The coffee one! The blue one is for washing dishes!"

"What about the grey one?"

"That's for cleaning rice cookers and fridges and stuff! Shen Yu does he cook his own food?"

"Order takeaway."

"Was it good? What kind of food did you have?"

"It's delicious."

Shen Yu leaned back in his chair and talked to her, probably hearing the movement on her side as she arrived at the terminal.

"Let's not talk about that, you have your passport and other documents with you, right?"

"Uh-huh! I'm at the terminal now, follow everyone."

Shen Yu had never been to the airport there, but it was more or less the same, so she gave her instructions over the phone on what to do, including going through customs and getting her checked luggage.

Even though he wasn't around, Li Xiang felt super safe and secure with him telling her what to do.

As they chatted, the two switched back to WeChat and opened a video chat, where international traffic is still expensive.

Shen Yu did not want to open the video, he had never videoed with a girl, but Li Xiang wanted to open it, but could not say that she wanted to see him, if so, Shen Yu would not open it, to say Shen Yu you help me see the road so that he would be willing to open the video.

There is a slight lull in the scene and Shen Yu sees her first.

Li Xiang was wrapped in that beige scarf, her big eyes staring unblinkingly at the screen, behind her were the walking crowds, and all around her were signs and signs for the day.

"Shen Yu where are you, I can't see you, I only see white, is the screen stuck"

"That's the ceiling, I have my phone on the table."

"Just pick it up, come on."

"What are you looking at me for, didn't you want me to watch your way?"

"Then I won't show you me either."

With that, Li Xiang changed the rear camera and Shen Yu could no longer see her.

In exchange for equality, Shen Yu had to pick up her phone to video her.

When they look at each other in the video, Shen Yu always looks away first, but Li Xiang doesn't. She stares at him boldly and smiles while doing so, not the kind of smile that makes a sound, but the kind that curls her eyebrows and mouth.

Anyway, Shen Yu didn't know what she was doing, so Li Xiang took screenshots of him in the video, which were also precious memories that she wanted to preserve.

"I've reached the exit in sight oh! Now am I supposed to wait here for Daddy to pick me up?"

"You've been in touch with him, haven't you? Where did he tell you to wait for him?"

"Not yet, I'll call you first as soon as I get off the plane."

""

Shen Yu was speechless, clearly about to die of anger, yet feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

"So call him now quickly, he knows your flight time and should be there, ask him where he is first and don't walk around."

"Mmmmmm, I'll video you later then."

When Shen Yu did not hang up the video call, she did not hang up either, but finally Shen Yu hung up the call and Li Xiang called Asaba Kazuo.

There were a lot of people at the pick-up point, and the wayfaring child was never very good at finding people in the crowd, but Asaba Kazuo, who was already waiting at the exit, saw her first.

Please help, the app can steal book votes like stealing vegetables, come and steal friends' book votes to vote for my book.

Her daughter hasn't changed much from four months ago, she still looks confused, even when her own father is walking towards her, she is still holding her mobile phone and wondering why he hasn't answered the phone.

However, Asaba Kazuo was very pleased to see that his daughter was allowed to study abroad in order to train her independence, and you can see how this has worked out: Li Xiang was able to get off the plane and walk to the pick-up point without calling him.

"Li Xiang!"

When she heard a familiar voice call out to her, Li Xiang turned her head and then, to her surprise, ran towards Asaba Kazuo, dragging her suitcase with her, and jumped into his arms, still acting like a little girl.

After all, having been brought up to be spoilt, she was intimate with both her mother and father and still missed them after not seeing them for four months.

"Daddy, I miss you and Mummy so much!"

"We missed you too, come home, your mum is ready for lunch."

"Mmmmmm!"

Her father helped her pull the suitcase, so she took his arm and told him about her day home as she walked.

Two out of three sentences were spent talking about Shen Yu, saying that he had personally driven her to the airport, that he had taught her how to fly, that he had just taught her how to get out, and that he had been talking about how good he was anyway.

"Eh? So it wasn't Li Xiang himself who would get off the plane and come out?"

"Shen Yu taught me how to do it! He was afraid I wouldn't know my way around, he even video-taped me."

"So that's it."

After all, having a clingy daughter is a blessing and a headache. Li Xiang is just like her mother, and just taking care of her mother is enough of a headache for Asaba Kazuo.

Last Mid-Autumn Festival, he and Li Xiang's mother went out together and had a great time. It seems unrealistic to expect his daughter to be more independent, and it would be nice to have a decent, kind, independent and responsible boy who is willing to take care of her for him.

When they arrived at the car park, Li Xiang and his daughter got into their car and the car slowly pulled out and drove in the direction of home.

"This year, the volume of transactions between Mr. Shen's family and our family company has doubled compared to previous years, and thanks to Mr. Shen's generous help, our company's business situation has now stabilized. Two days ago, I also sent him an invitation, wanting to ask him to come to our company for a personal inspection, so that I can also do my best to entertain him."

"Eh? Is Uncle Shen coming over?"

Li Xiang was surprised to hear this and thought it would be nice if Shen Yu came along, but Shen Yu would never come, he wouldn't spend so much time playing.

"He hasn't given me a definite answer yet, so if he comes over, I'll definitely thank him, and Shen Yu has taken care of you a lot during this time, so when I'm done with this, I'll go to China to visit Mr. Shen's family in person as well."

"Uncle and Auntie Shen are very nice! They even let me come home with Shen Yu for Chinese New Year!"

"That's great, the fact that they invited you means they think highly of you too."

Asaba Kazuo wondered what the attitude of Shen Deyou and his wife was, but he had often heard Li Xiang mention Shen Yu.

Asaba Kazuo was quite happy with Shen Yu, and if Shen Deyou was also happy with his daughter, he could make up a marriage, but the key was that he could sense that his daughter had some interest in Shen Yu.

Li Xiang had only been talking to his father for a short while when he took out his mobile phone and made a video call to his teenager in China.

"Shen Yu! I'm getting in!"

"Your dad got you?"

"Mmmmmm, we're getting ready to go home for dinner now, and I'll show you my house later, nah! Look, this is my dad!"

Li Xiang suddenly turns the camera around and Asaba Kazuo and Shen Yu are looking at each other face to face, both a bit overwhelmed.

It was Asaba Kazuo who reacted first, turning around and greeting him with a smile: " Shen Yu, hello! Thank you so much for taking care of Li Xiang!"

He speaks Chinese, because he has always been in the foreign trade business in China, Asaba Kazuo's Chinese level is still good, but he is not very fluent and his voice is loud, he speaks one word at a time.

Shen Yu also came back to his senses, for some reason, he was a bit vain when he saw Asaba Kazuo, just like a son-in-law seeing his father-in-law, a wild boar had vaulted someone's cabbage, how could he not feel panic when he saw Asaba Kazuo!

No, I don't have to panic about the cabbage.

He straightened up and also greeted Asaba Kazuo: "Hello, Uncle!"

Asaba Kazuo says: "I'm driving now, and when I get a chance, I'll go to China and visit your father! And to say thank you!"

Shen Yu said, "You're welcome uncle, you drive first, I will convey your greetings to my father, goodbye uncle."

With that, Shen Yu hung up the video call and slipped away.

Li Xiang was about to continue chatting with him, but she didn't expect Shen Yu to run away so fast. Her father is very gentle, not a man-eating tiger, and she tried to continue the video with Shen Yu, but Shen Yu refused to answer.

Asaba Kazuo, who had been driving without speaking, asked her tentatively after a moment of silence, " How does Li Xiang feel about Shen Yu?"

Li Xiang didn't answer, but blinked her big eyes and asked him with a pout, "What do you think of Shen Yu, Daddy?"

"Dad thinks it's fine, he's good looking and polite, and most importantly, he can take good care of you. Dad has worked with Mr. Shen for many years, not only as partners, but we are also close friends in private, that's why when you go to China, dad will feel comfortable entrusting you to Shen Yu's care."

Li Xiang nodded, happier than Shen Yu that her father had approved of him.

"Dad, last time you said I need to learn to make my own decisions, I need to make decisions about my studies, work, life and marriage in the future, right?"

"Well, yeah."

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said for the first time in such a firm tone.

"I love Shen Yu! I want to marry him!"
