Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

Girls are six times more horny than boys if there is no psychological burden.

Not only do they like handsome men, but they also like beautiful women.

As the darkness passed, the sunlight fell on Shen Yu's face through a gap in the curtains and his eyes fluttered open.

Rika got a grip on him and nearly lost control.

When she sleeps, her hands like to wander around and make Shen Yu feel very uncomfortable, but she doesn't know anything when she falls asleep.

After breaking away from her clutches, Shen Yu got up and looked at the time. It was Saturday, 7.40am, and her husband's flight was at 10am, so it was time to get up and get ready.

The curtains were pulled open with a clatter and the sunlight fell on the bed, reflecting the delicate body of a beautiful young girl in a nightgown, with a pair of long, glistening white legs that looked a little shaky.

Rika grunted twice, rolled halfway around the quilt, buried his face in it and went back to sleep with his legs between the rolled up quilt.

It was only when Shen Yu came over and tickled her feet that she woke up with a babble and a whimper.

Sitting in a duck position, with her scented shoulders half exposed and her beautiful hair falling freely, she rubs her sleepy eyes and yawns a little.

"Still sleeping, get up and get ready."

"I'm so sleepy ...... I'm going to lie down for a while ......"

Rika rubbed her eyes and rolled over to lie down again, her nightdress tugged at by the movement and lifted up to her thighs, so she pulled the covers over her legs.

Shen Yu came over and lifted her covers, scooped her out of bed, carried the pampered little princess to the bathroom and placed her on the toilet to sit on.

"I ...... I'm not in a hurry ......"

"Use the toilet yourself, I'm going to get breakfast."

After closing the bathroom door, Shen Yu went to her room and took her pillows and clothes back to her room, and also double-checked that she hadn't left any of her belongings on her bed.

After going out to buy breakfast, Rika is already washed up and sitting at the dressing table putting on her make-up.

"Your dad and the others came over for breakfast, didn't they?"

"Mmmmmm, we'll cook together at lunchtime."

"We?"

"Yeah, I told Mum and Dad that Shen Yu is a great cook!"

"Nonsense ......"

Shen Yu is aware of his own cooking skills, so it would be good if he didn't give his future in-laws diarrhoea when they first arrive in China.

Shen Yu was a little nervous as he went back and forth around the house, checking that the tea cups were clean, the tablecloths were square, and even the slippers in the shoe cupboard were neatly arranged.

In fact, Rika had already done this, and there was no need for him to do anything, but human psychology is so strange that Shen Yu turned the teacup to the left, then to the right, and it was still in the same position, but just by fiddling with it, he felt a lot more comfortable.

Rika, already groomed and dressed, with a small bag over her shoulder, came out of the room and hugged Shen Yu.

Shen Yu's eyes were sharp and he saw the beautiful crystal necklace around her snow-white neck.

"Why did you put the necklace on today?"

"It's very pretty, show it to mum."

After packing up, Shen Yu drove the car and the two of them went to the airport to pick up the person.

Today's flight was on time, and Rika received a call from Asaba Kazuo at 10.15am.

"Daddy!"

"Rika Ah, we just got off the plane, are you and Shen Yu already at the airport?"

"We've been waiting for you for ages! We've been waiting since before dawn!"

The father and daughter were speaking in Japanese and Shen Yu didn't understand them, so Rika dared to say that, even if he had the guts to do so, he would only say 'No, no, we've only been waiting for a while'.

While Rika was on the phone, he whispered next to her to remind her, "This side of exit a, just have your dad come out and look to the right ......"

Shen Yu soon recognises Asaba Kazuo and Miori from the crowd of people coming out.

The two men were dressed on the business-casual side; after all, they were in China to inspect the company.

Shen Yu stood up, his height so conspicuous that Asaba Kazuo looked to his right and easily spotted him before his eyes fell on his daughter who was still looking around with her mobile phone beside Shen Yu.

"Here it comes."

Shen Yu pulled Rika over to her, and Rika reacted by jumping happily into Miori's arms.

"Uncle, auntie."

"Shen Yu, long time no see, you guys, waiting, hard work!"

"No no, we've only just arrived too."

"Eh, the hard work! Rika, told me about it, you guys, before dawn!"

"......"

Asaba Kazuo opened his arms, expecting Rika to jump into his arms too, but Rika didn't even look at him, arching over Miori like a kitten.

This caused some embarrassment to the old father, who could neither withdraw nor release his empty hand in mid-air.

Luckily, Shen Yu was quick to smile and came over to give his future father-in-law a hug.

Asaba Kazuo is pleased, laughing brightly and clapping his palm on the back of his shoulder.

"Oh, Shen Yu, very high! Good!"

When the two men released their embrace, Rika gave her father a symbolic hug and then came over to Miori with a smile on her arm and spoke to her affectionately.

As parents, they are very discerning. Just by taking a look at Rika and Shen Yu, they could deduce from the slightest change how close their relationship is now.

"The car is parked outside, so come with me, auntie and uncle."

Shen Yu actively helped with the luggage, leading the way a body length ahead, while the Asaba family followed behind him, talking to their daughter.

When she got into the car, Rika sat in the back and gave up the passenger seat to Asaba Kazuo, who sat in the back with her mother.

Shen Yu is a man of few words, so it is important to keep the pleasantries to a minimum and do more.

The car slowly drove on the road, today to pick up people, he did not drive that old five-series, drove Dad's S-class, usually he drove quite fast, but today, drove as steady as an old dog, if the car put a glass of water, when turning, the water is not driven.

"Shen Yu, drive, steady!"

"Safety first, the car is full of people who are important to me."

"Yes! Rika, no driving licence yet, I drop, not going to her to learn, she's silly and doesn't look at the road when driving."

"Oh, it's fine, I'll drive normally. Uncle, I'll take you to the hotel first, put your luggage away, and at lunchtime, go to our house for dinner, Rika has prepared a lot of dishes."

"Wow, good! Good work guys!"

This is not the first time that Asaba Kazuo has been to China, as he visited the country for a while when he was younger, and then he started a foreign trade business and made a trip to China every year or two.

Change always happens without realising it, and every time he visits China he is always amazed at how quickly it has developed.

The view from the passenger side is excellent and he can see the street ahead and to his right. As the car drives along, past the commercial centres, past the landscaped gardens, past the old streets and alleys, it is hard to imagine that so many elements can be harmoniously blended together in this modern city of Sunan.

As Shen Yu drove, he would glance over at Asaba Kazuo from time to time, and when he saw him staring at something, he would take the initiative to introduce him.

"I've grown up here, and these days my aunt and uncle have a lot of time to spare, so Rika and I have arranged a trip to show them around."

After saying that, Shen Yu looked back at Asaba Kazuo and added: "Rika, she, too, loves the city."

"I like it too, it's got a lot of, character! It has a Chinese, feel to it!"

Many foreigners think of China more in terms of the old Chinese buildings with their green bricks and white tiles, as well as traditional culture and crafts such as opera and celadon.

The two men in the front row were clearly talking about different topics than the two women in the back row.

"Rika's necklace is so pretty, is it the one you said Mrs. Shen gave you last time?"

Miori's fingers gently lifted the necklace around Rika's neck, a beautiful swan pendant that was enough to make the women's hearts flutter.

"Mmmmmm! Isn't it super nice!"

"It's beautiful! This is a very expensive gift, isn't it?"

Rika, suddenly a little shy, glanced at Shen Yu, who was concentrating on driving, and Asaba Kazuo, who was in front of him, and whispered in Miori's ear, "It's very valuable ...... and has a special meaning ...... is to approve of my relationship with Shen Yu ...... and agree to our marriage ......"

As Miori listened, her eyes grew a little wider, thinking to herself that this was too soon, that her daughter was giving it away for nothing again when they didn't know about it.

The Asaba family had known about Rika's intention to marry Shen Yu for a long time, and had initially thought to take their time, but now they see that even Mr. and Mrs. Shen have given Rika such a symbolic gift.

It was Miori's turn to be distressed that they had not yet prepared a matching gift for Shen Yu.

Miori didn't know much about Chinese customs, so she whispered to Rika, "What kind of gift do we need to prepare for Shen Yu on the Chinese side? After all, Rika received such an expensive gift from Mr. and Mrs. Shen, it would look rude if we didn't show it ......"

"I ah ......"

"Eh?"

"Just send me ...... to Shen Yu ......"

Rika was so ashamed of the reserved girl's words that she covered her red cheeks with her hands and stopped talking.

Miori's face is stony.

I'm afraid it's already been given away ......

Shen Yu's hotel was also carefully chosen, not far from his home, and the decor was of a high class Chinese type, perfect for Asaba Kazuo who loves Chinese culture.

Shen Yu took care of all the check-in and other formalities and carried the luggage upstairs, unlike him.

"Uncle, auntie, do you think this place is still suitable, if not I will order another set for you."

"Very good! Shen Yu, good work!"

Asaba Kazuo Satisfied with a look around the room, just inside the door, there is a very faint fragrance eerie, and when you look towards the wall, there is also a picture of a spring sleeping begonia hanging, in the right place there is a large bed, the wood of the bed is beautifully carved, above a halo red tent, the bed is covered with a silk quilt, in the corner there is an antique piano, the hollowed carved window transmits a fine fragment of sunlight.

Delighted!

It was wonderful to experience this style of room with my wife tonight! Your nephew understands my uncle's heart!

Miori, who was also visiting such a magnificent room for the first time, sat down next to the guqin and gently plucked the strings, which produced a long sound.

"That's probably what a grand lady was like in the old days. I know that in the old days a grand lady had to know how to play the piano, calligraphy and painting. Miori would have been particularly sensational in an old-fashioned outfit."

"Nonsense, I don't play ......"

Miori's face was slightly red, she could not help but know what this bad guy was thinking.

Shen Yu couldn't understand what her aunt and uncle were saying, but she saw Miori's face blush a little, and thought to herself that this blush was really hereditary, as both mother and daughter have exceptionally thin skin and blush at the slightest thought. Rika is even younger, with a face as young as a 16- or 17-year-old girl's.

Rika also looked around the room curiously and after a quick look around, he secretly grabbed the corner of Shen Yu's shirt and asked him in a whisper, " Shen Yu, next time let's come and sleep in this hotel too, okay?"

Shen Yu's face twitched, sleeping anywhere is a good idea, you know how expensive a night here is!

Once the accommodation was arranged, Shen Yu took the Asaba family downstairs and drove back to the old house.

"The house was left by my grandfather, there used to be only one floor, then my father added to two and a half floors, this side is all the old city ancient street, life is still very convenient, also not like the commercial centre side of the hustle and bustle, this road along the river, usually Rika and I will come over to run in the evening."

As the car drove slowly by, Shen Yu gave his future in-laws a tour of the surroundings.

Because of the many landscaped areas nearby, the streets on this side are still very clean, with willow trees planted along the river and small bridges and streams, giving it a very life-like atmosphere.

Asaba Kazuo and Miori listened and watched, very attentively, as this was the place where their daughter had lived for most of the year and they were both very happy with the environment.

When they arrived at the house, the car stopped in the courtyard.

Rika's flowers and plants from last year have grown a little taller this spring, and although they don't look like flowers, at least they look good.

"Rika planted all the flowers, and the little onion and garlic plants over there were planted by the sister of the family next door, a six-year-old child."

"When we get married later, I plan to redecorate this house again, the yard, the rooms, all will be carefully designed, Rika and I are used to living here."

Rika also rushed to add: "I want to stay here forever!"

Asaba Kazuo and Miori are no longer holding back on their daughter's white offer, and hope that before Shen Yu comes to Yokohama to propose marriage, he won't bring the older one with a smaller one on his belly ......

Asaba Kazuo and Miori were still interested in the decoration of the Chinese home and were introduced to the courtyard and the ground floor by Shen Yu, before going up to the first floor together.

"Meow?"

Bai Xiaomeng, who is lazily sleeping on top of the fish tank lid, raises his head in curiosity and looks at the door.

"Wow! Cat! Kawaii!!!"

Miori was the first to spot the chubby little cat and covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of little stars, just like Rika's when she first saw Bai Xiaomeng.

With such a lovely cat, Shen Yu must be a gentle man for a son-in-law!

No strategy is as effective as Bai Xiaomeng, and Miori instantly labels Shen Yu as a 'gentle and fierce man'.

Bai Xiaomeng jumped off the top of the fish tank lid, strutted over to some people and jumped into Shen Yu's arms.

Miori bends halfway down and gently strokes its big head with her fingers, saying Kawaii in excitement.

Bai Xiaomeng was very pleased with himself and glanced at Rika with enjoyment. He had lost the fight with Rika over Shen Yu, so he would have to steal his mother from Rika.

"Ah, Mum, look, Bai Xiaomeng is showing off to me again!"

"Nonsense, how can a kitten have bad intentions when it's so cute?"

"Meow~"

Bai Xiaomeng was even more pleased with himself and simply twisted out of Shen Yu's arms and flung himself into Miori's arms.

"Huh? Eh! It likes me eh!"

"Meow wow~"

Miori was so excited, she hugged him like a baby and gently smoothed his fur, thinking that all Chinese people have pandas at home, but having such a super cute cat was enough to make people envious!

It was a relief for Shen Yu to see Miori so fond of cats, so he left the task of raiding his mother-in-law to Bai Xiaomeng.

Miori was playing with Bai Xiaomeng when Shen Yu brought out a tin of good tea leaves and made a pot of tea to sit and drink with Asaba Kazuo.

Rika came to the rescue when we were embarrassed and didn't know what to talk about.

"Dad, Mum, you can go to my room and rest if you're sleepy, while Shen Yu and I cook and you'll have a delicious lunch later!"

With that, he pulled Shen Yu into the kitchen.

Miori and Asaba Kazuo were indeed a little tired from all the travelling, so they went to their daughter's room and sat down beside her bed, curiously surveying its surroundings.

"It's fine, I think they feel quite at home living together... Rika's mother, how far do you think they've come?"

"Look how happy you are... I'll miss Rika every day if she gets married in China."

"Come over if you want to, it's just a plane ride."

Bai Xiaomeng ran off to the courtyard to bask in the sun, so Miori had nothing to hold, so she took Rika's pillow and held it in her arms.

Suddenly it felt like something was hiccuping on the back of the pillow ......

The palm of my hand brushes against it, feeling a box through the pillowcase.

Miori unzips it and takes out a box of Okamoto from inside.

It has been opened and is missing one.

The couple looked at each other, shocked and overwhelmed.

"What about Rika's dad ......?"

"...... daughter is growing up, so put it back before she finds out."

Having a daughter who was given for nothing is so tiring ......

Miori panicked and tucked the box of Okamoto back into her pillow, thinking that she was still unsure.

Then he took another box of new ones out of the bag he had with him and stuffed them inside the pillow as well.

After all, from the experience of those who have been there ......

One box is not enough for one night, I'm afraid.
