Chapter 173: The kitten is threatened

January 5, Sunan, sunny.

The distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, separated by the ocean, would have been enough to make one's heart despair, and one would have had to rely on the moon to send one's thoughts.

Thanks to modern technology, it only took a few hours for Shen Yu and Rika to arrive in Sunan at around 3pm.

After landing, the melancholy dissipated and Rika enjoyed her life in Sunan, and the more she stayed in the city, the more she became attached to it.

Shen Yu's car pulls up at the airport and the two men put their luggage in the compartment.

Thinking about when he first arrived, Shen Yu was amused and took the keys and tossed them to Rika: "You drive?"

"Bad people!"

Rika tossed the keys back to him and gave him a slight wink as she expertly opened the door and sat down in the passenger seat.

After Shen Deyou got a new car two years ago, the car was parked in the courtyard for Shen Yu, who rarely goes out, so the passenger side has now become Rika's exclusive place.

A girl likes to have some kind of symbol of her status in her man's mind, such as the passenger seat of his car, the keys to his house, or buying him underwear to wear.

The car drove slowly out of the car park in the direction of home.

Just like the first time he came to Sunan, Rika was a curious kitten staring out of the window.

"Shen Yu, look!"

"I'm driving."

"That ramen shop, that's where I was waiting for you!"

Shen Yu glanced at the ramen shop but nothing had changed, the chef at the door was doing a ramen show, his kung fu was still as skilful as ever, except that the girl who was waiting for him at that door a few months ago was now his date.

"Shen Yu, are you still going to school later?"

Rika turned to him and asked him if it was Tuesday, the fifth, and she knew that Shen Yu had classes in the morning and afternoon, and that the afternoon was the last two classes, so if she had to get there now, it would still be too late.

"No, I've asked Liangji to take me off."

"Then let's go grocery shopping after we get home later!"

Rika said happily, "Because I don't have the usual seasonings at home, I can't even cook anything good back home, I want to eat braised pig's feet!"

"Don't you eat fat?"

"Then I can give you the fat, Shen Yu is tall, even if you gain twenty pounds you won't even see it."

Rika said, but remembered something else and asked him, "So Shen Yu has been out for so long, have you emptied the fridge of the vegetables? They should have gone bad after so long."

Shen Yu with a stony face ......

When she first went back, he bought some vegetables and put them in the fridge when he couldn't finish them, but he never bothered with them again until Rika reminded him.

A hundred Shen Yu's would not be as attentive as Rika's when it comes to such matters.

"I don't suppose ...... will break?"

"Ah! So, did Shen Yu put meat in the cold snow area?"

"That's not true, the meat is in the freezer section."

Rika was relieved that the greens and other things would dry out at best in the cold snow area, but if the meat had been there for so long, it would probably have stunk, and then cleaning the fridge and all that would have been an absolute pain and disgusting task.

The most memorable one was when Asaba Kazuo left the fish he bought in the cold snow area and then Miori, unbeknownst to the family, went out for a few days and when they returned, it stank to high heaven.

In the distance, Rika could already see the familiar old street and became a little excited.

When the car came in from the street, Shen Yu saw a silly girl with a small blue and white schoolbag, with a dog chasing her, her two little hands gripping the bag strap and her two short legs running as fast as they could.

Shen Yu smiles good-naturedly and rolls down the window on the right side of the car.

Rika also saw Su Zhifu: "Eh? It's Puffs!"

She then called out to Su Zhifu, "Puffs! Sister is here!"

When she heard someone shouting at her, Su Zhifu braked sharply and had to bend her left leg and extend her right leg forward, just like in the cartoon, but unfortunately her shoes didn't spark on the road.

Su Zhifu looked for the sound and saw the familiar car, and after freezing, her big eyes lit up and she ran towards the side and back with short legs.

"Sister Rika! You're back?"

"Yes! I'm back oh!"

When Shen Yu stopped the car, Puffs opened the door and climbed in, sitting in the back seat, sticking his silly head through the gap in the seat and looking at Shen Yu with a grin.

"Shen Yu Brother I miss you so much! Why did you take so long to pick up Rika's sister? I called you and couldn't get through! Please help me see if my watch is broken ......"

She reached over with a small hand, wearing on her wrist the watch that Shen Yu had given her last time.

"It's not broken, it's getting through now."

"Is that so?"

Su Zhifu then expertly pressed call and soon Shen Yu's mobile rang.

She has not called Shen Yu since he gave her the watch, but she still has a good memory of how to make a phone call.

"You're getting out of class so soon today?"

"Our last period was a work session! The teacher said we had all pulled the weeds clean and let us play on our own, then I ran home!"

"I think you're going to get a scolding when you get home later."

"Why?"

"When the teacher can't find you, she'll call your mum, and then your mum will see you coming back and beat you up."

"That school has no weeds to pull ah, I came back to do labour ah ......"

Su Zhifu was not convinced, so he got out of the car and ran home with his little school bag.

As the car drove slowly into the courtyard, the lazy cat sunbathing on the stone table heard the movement and looked up, then immediately perked up and jumped off the stone table and through the open window on Rika's side.

"Ah, Xiaomeng ......"

Rika was startled by it and thought to herself that Bai Xiaomeng was so good with her that she couldn't wait to run in when she came back.

He was about to hug him, but Bai Xiaomeng jumped away from her like a spring and nuzzled into Shen Yu's arms, his two hind feet in the wrong place, his two front paws on his chest, his big head arching and nuzzling Shen Yu's chin affectionately.

"Meow wow ...... meow ah ......"

"What are you doing at home these days?"

"Meow awwww ......"

Shen Yu's attitude towards cats is completely different from that of girls, as he reaches out with his big hand and gently rubs Bai Xiaomeng's back and gives him a kiss on his brain.

Rika Acid!!!

Obviously I'm the girlfriend!!!

Why is Bai Xiaomeng allowed to step on Shen Yu's incorrect place and arch his chin with his head like this and actually have a loving kiss from Shen Yu!

I'm not allowed to do any of these!

Bai Xiaomeng turned his head and looked at Rika, who saw in his big eyes a lot of emotions such as smugness, bragging, disdain, pride ...... and so on.

"Shen Yu! Look at Xiaomeng! He's showing off to me! He's so proud of himself!"

"Nonsense, Xiaomeng is just a kitten, what bad intentions can a kitten have."

"Meow~~"

Bai Xiaomeng rubbed Shen Yu's coat with a few cat hairs because he had not been groomed for the past few days.

Bai Xiaomeng was very sharp-eyed and suddenly saw a long strand of hair on his jumper, so he pulled it off.

Rika: "......"

I was worried that Shen Yu would be taken away by another girl, and I almost forgot Bai Xiaomeng, the big love interest, who would not allow her to sleep with Shen Yu if she wanted to.

He is not at home these days, Bai Xiaomeng is melting in the yard and there is no one to carry Xiaomeng into the house, it is very sad.

Shen Yu gets out of the car and carries Bai Xiaomeng into the house, and then carries the luggage in with Rika.

Xiaomeng I: " Shen Yu, Rika, you're back!"

Shen Yu: "Well, it's been hard for you to watch the house these days."

Xiaomeng I: "It wasn't hard, did you have a good time in Yokohama? Xiaomeng I is curious!"

Shen Yu: "What do you think?"

Xiaomeng I: "I think you're all happy, Rika looks the happiest, so is something going on?"

Rika snaps, "I'm dating Shen Yu! I'm his girlfriend now!"

Shen Yu blushed and was about to retort, but Rika was chattering away to Xiaomeng I, not letting him interrupt at all.

Xiaomeng I: "Really? This is unbelievable!"

Rika: "Of course it's true, what do you think of Xiaomeng No. 1?"

Xiaomeng I: " If Shen Yu is happy, then so is Xiaomeng I. So from tonight onwards, Rika, you will be sleeping with Shen Yu? Xiaomeng I is envious!"

Bai Xiaomeng: "Meow?"

Bai Xiaomeng realises the seriousness of the situation and, as it is still broad daylight, he doesn't stay on the sofa and runs into Shen Yu's room in a huff to secure his territory first.

Shen Yu: "Dating is not marriage, we haven't even held hands, how can we sleep together, Xiaomeng I. You've got it wrong."

Xiaomeng I: "So that's how it is. So when are you getting married?"

Rika blushed and said haughtily, "Not so fast yet ......"

Xiaomeng I uses Rika's voice, and when they talk, it feels like Rika is talking to herself in the mirror.

Shen Yu didn't bother to talk to these two idiots, and once his bags were put away, he went downstairs to the studio to check the status of the program he had set up earlier to run.

It's been half a month since the game was released and it's past its peak popularity, but because of the game's special gameplay, the number of downloads is still growing relatively steadily.

As you can see from the backend data, the total number of downloads has already exceeded the 100,000 mark, and now there are still around 800 downloads per day.

In addition to other fees such as the platform share, Shen Yu's account has a total share of close to $800,000, which is a real profit.

Even if the version is not updated, but simply maintained, in another two months or so, when the game's fever has completely passed, Shen Yu will have made nearly a million dollars from Azure-2120.

This is the first bucket of money Shen Yu has made, and to follow it up, it is important to get the company up and running and get the game version updated as soon as possible.

With almost 90% of the players who have played Azure giving the game high marks and looking forward to the next release, Shen Yu has to take advantage of this opening and start working towards a better life for him and Rika.

The mindset has unknowingly changed. Previously, I was thinking of starting a company with the aim of making money to continue my research, and thus the cycle.

Now, on the same path, with a completely different goal, he thinks about the promise he made to Asaba Kazuo and tries to give Rika a better life.

The internship is not for Rika, she is already a qualified girlfriend, but Shen Yu feels that he is not yet a qualified boyfriend, he is rational and knows that he is still lacking the ability to take care of two people for life, both in work and life.

While Shen Yu is working downstairs, Rika is upstairs tidying up the house.

It's been a few days since I've lived in the house, so I need to clean the house, clean the fridge and dust the coffee table and cabinets.

Bai Xiaomeng sits on Shen Yu's bed, watching Rika go about her business in the house with a grim look on her face.

Shen Yu's suitcase was also packed by Rika, who took out his clothes one by one and hung them in the wardrobe, folding his underwear and socks.

Rika was in a good mood and stroked Xiaomeng's head: "I'll make Xiaomeng some fish tonight!"

"Meow."

Bai Xiaomeng nodded, not eating for nothing, waiting for the fish to finish before coming back to hog the bed.
