Chapter 212: It's good for your health to press more often (2 in 1)

Sunan is very large and there is a lot to see and do.

Shen Yu couldn't bring his father-in-law and mother-in-law to every place he visited, so Miori, a keen prayer, came to Hanshan Temple with Rika.

Hanshan Temple is known throughout the world for his song 'The Night of the Maple Bridge', which has been widely circulated in Japan and has been included in textbooks, and is more influential than Li Bai and Du Fu, for whom it is a symbol of the realm.

As a famous place for praying for good fortune, there is a constant stream of devotees coming to the temple every day to ring the bell and pray for peace.

It's a weekend and more tourists than usual, and it's three o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Yu's group arrives.

Shen Yu knew nothing about burning incense and worshipping Buddha, and it was thanks to her mother that she came over to invite the gods to the opening of the company.

Miori and Rika were talking when Rika, acting as a little interpreter, came to Shen Yu and asked him.

"Shen Yu, mum wants to burn incense for blessings, do you know where to buy these?"

"There should be a shop nearby, I'll ask."

Soon Shen Yu found a small shop selling joss sticks and greeted Rika and the others to come and buy them.

The style is slightly different from that of the Japanese, but it doesn't matter, as the culture of Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture and many of the rituals are similar.

After buying joss sticks and candles, Shen Yu took Rika and his family inside.

He hadn't been to Hanshan Temple for years, and for the locals, it's just a tourist attraction or something.

But for the Rika family, it was new.

"Mum, take a picture of me and Shen Yu!"

Rika has found the right way to use mum and dad.

If she and Shen Yu had come together, the photos would have been either selfies or single photos, and it would have been embarrassing to ask passers-by to help with the photos.

Rika dragged Shen Yu to the wall photo at the entrance of Hanshan Temple, which is a must-see spot for tourists, and it was very crowded, so it was difficult to get a good shot.

With the backdrop chosen, Shen Yu stood in a straight line and for a while Rika thought that if he had been dressed in a prison uniform and had his height size engraved on the wall behind him, the feeling would have been there.

I can't blame Shen Yu, after all, the most tiring part of the day was not leading the way or climbing the steps, but posing for photos with Rika, which made his face stiff with laughter.

What's worse is that after half a day of taking dozens of photos, if she's not happy with them, she has to delete them and take them again, and finally pick and choose, leaving only a few to be retouched when she returns.

"Oops ...... Shen Yu smile ...... last one!"

"You said it was the last one when you were at Humble Administrator's Garden!"

"Yeah, that was the last one at Humble Administrator's Garden, and now we're at Hanshan Temple."

Rika could see his reluctance and thought to himself that boys are strange, if Shen Yu was asked to carry water and chop wood, he might be willing to do it, but he was tired of taking a picture when it was so fun and memorable.

"Is this really the last one?"

Shen Yu gathered himself and rubbed his stiff face. As a competent boyfriend, it doesn't matter if he suffers a bit, after all, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are still watching.

"Well ...... is the last one in the entrance ......"

"I ......"

Before Shen Yu can say no, Rika stands on tiptoe, blushes, and whispers in his ear with his palm in the way.

"Tonight ...... Shen Yu can bully Rika ......"

"How is it bullying?"

"The super excessive kind ......"

Rika is not talking, Asaba Kazuo and Miori are fiddling with the camera in front of her, if they hear her, she will lose her face.

Shen Yu did not ask, his heart fluttered like an electric shock, the wonderful feeling of being on top of the clouds last night could not help but rise to the surface ......

Was it even more excessive bullying than last night?

He swallowed dryly, the knot in his throat rolling up and down a little, his eyes a little nervous and expectant.

"Shen Yu Just say if it's good ...... if it's not, forget it ...... hum ...... "

"It's not like I said yes to you because of that, I just thought it would be memorable for the two of us to hang out together and leave tracks and pictures together at each place."

Shen Yu's face is no longer stiff, her smile is heartfelt and her pose is no longer rigid, as if she has instantly acquired a photographic talent.

He stands in front of the backdrop and wraps one arm around Rika, his head not quite on his side, his face pressed against her little head in a protective way. Rika smiles sweetly too, her two little hands grasping his sturdy arms as they look at the camera together, looking very warm and sweet.

Miori captured this photo with great precision and clicked several more, which she was very happy with as her daughter's growth photographer.

"Nice shot eh!"

"Yeah! Let's see!"

Rika trotted over to Miori and looked at the photos with joy, the more he looked at them, the more satisfied he became.

"When mum goes back, she will print out these photos and collect them in Rika's growth album, so that she can show them to Rika when she has a little one later."

"It's not that fast. ......"

As soon as Miori said that, Rika started to imagine how happy Xiangning would be when she grew up and showed her a picture of her parents together when they were in love.

The family walked and photographed their way to the Nobita Temple and finally arrived at the Nobita Temple.

Miori is the most knowledgeable, and when she says what to do, the other three followers do it.

First of all pat the dust off your clothes before entering and there is a ritualistic sense of not stepping on the threshold to enter and not talking or chattering loudly.

Shen Yu used to come with her mother to offer incense, and it was more or less the same. The mothers' generation still knew the rules, but in the years to come, I'm afraid not many young people will know.

When she was a single dog, Shen Yu was never interested in these things, she was not afraid of ghosts and gods, she was like a monkey, she was free and easy to be alone.

Even though I have so many wonderful abilities, met so many wonderful things and had so many wonderful experiences, but I can't have you, that's probably the most regrettable thing in life.

More and more, I feel that meeting her is the gift of my life, that this destiny is the magic of my life.

For the first time in twenty years, Shen Yu was so solemn in the temple.

"Shen Yu, you do the incense."

Miori lights a handful of incense and gives it to him, Shen Yu then goes over and lights it, fanning the flame gently with his palm as it is lit.

The number of incense sticks is also regulated; three sticks for one's own blessing, six sticks for two generations, nine sticks for three generations, and thirteen is an extreme, thirteen sticks being the high incense for the perfection of merit.

The two elders stood a little closer to the front, while Shen Yu and Rika stood a little further back, following Miori's example, raising the incense in their hands to the level of their foreheads, closing their eyes and praying softly.

"I am very sincere, Rika, please bless me and Shen Yu to have a good relationship, we are going to get married, the marriage should also be smooth, and our baby, although it is not yet born, please bless her to grow up healthy, so that Shen Yu and I can rest assured, Shen Yu loves me very much, I hope his career is also getting better and better. Rika is not a person who wants to be rich and famous, but I don't want Shen Yu to have any regrets... Also, bless my parents and aunts and uncles with good health... ...... Our Bai Xiaomeng is also very well behaved. ..."

Shen Yu had already finished offering incense and when he looked back, Rika was still praying with his eyes closed, muttering incessantly.

I couldn't hear what she was saying, but she never stopped talking anyway, as if she had to shake out a lifetime's worth of wishes to do so.

It took a while before Rika finished praying, opened his eyes wide, and made three sincere obeisances.

Shen Yu wanted to help her insert the candles, but Rika refused, "It's okay, I'll do it myself, otherwise my wish won't work!"

She took the incense in her hands and inserted it carefully into the censer. Some of the ashes that fell brushed against her and almost landed on the back of her hand, which made Shen Yu's heart tingle.

"What did you just wish for, seeing as you've been chanting for ages."

"Not telling you~!"

"Cut ......"

After the incense, the family went on a tour of the Hanshan Temple and left after 5pm.

Shen Yu drove his father-in-law and mother-in-law over to the inn to leave their luggage.

On the first floor there is a health and wellness centre with acupuncture and physiotherapy, ancient massage and other services.

After dinner together, Asaba Kazuo couldn't resist having a go and brought Shen Yu along for the ride.

Miori and Rika, of course, were uncomfortable and wanted to come along, so the family ended up going in together.

"Don't worry sir, we have a separate private room and a women's section with a choice of technicians, do you have any familiar technicians?"

The manager spoke warmly to Shen Yu, recommending various projects to him.

Asaba Kazuo was standing behind Shen Yu with Miori and Rika, with a look of 'I don't know anything', 'I don't understand Chinese', 'It's my first time here'. My son-in-law brought me here', 'I don't want to come at all'.

Miori and Rika were also wide-eyed and curious as they surveyed the environment of the clubhouse. Fortunately, it was not the kind of light and wine atmosphere of a ktv, the decoration over here was bright and old-fashioned, looking very formal, and there were no flowery girls waving little fans and throwing winks and shouting 'you're here, guest'.

Shen Yu looked stiffly at the menu of items the manager had given him and was about to discuss it with Asaba Kazuo.

"As you wish! Shen Yu, you arrange it, and it's fine! Uncle, don't understand this!"

As soon as Asaba Kazuo said this, Rika and Miori's knife-like gaze fell on Shen Yu.

"......"

Shen Yu was in a difficult position, but if he had to leave now, he would have looked weak, so he picked a massage service.

"This is it, is there a quadruple room?"

"There are no more quadruple rooms available, how about I arrange two double rooms for you all?"

Shen Yu was about to turn around and ask Asaba Kazuo about it, but his father-in-law looked like he didn't care, looking at the mural on the wall with his hands behind his back, not even looking at him.

"All right."

"Okay, the program is 90 minutes, I'll show you all to your rooms and wait, the technician will be here shortly."

"Is there a male technician? My uncle and I use them."

"There are more female guests today and no lower bells available at the moment."

Shen Yu took one look at Rika's wrinkled mouth, clenched fists and narrowed eyes at him and said without hesitation, "Then please find us some older, more skilled technicians, not younger ones."

"That's no problem."

Following the manager up to the first floor, Asaba Kazuo wanted to share a room with Shen Yu, but Miori wanted to supervise him and dragged him to a room, and Rika dragged Shen Yu into the next room.

The room has two clean white single beds and a bathroom where you can shower and change.

"Hmmm ......"

Rika poked his chest with her little hand and beamed, "Looks like Shen Yu is having fun, huh?"

"Stop it, it wasn't your dad who wanted us to come together ......"

"Isn't it super exciting to have other girls massage you in front of your girlfriend eh?"

"I swear, not at all! If there is a breach of oath, I'll ......"

"Well, well, Rika teases you."

Rika hurriedly held out a finger and gagged him to stop him from talking.

Of course, I was a little jealous, but after all, she came along, so it's okay, Shen Yu would dare to do something bad in front of her.

She would like to learn why men are so fond of massages and doesn't believe that domestic flowers don't smell like wild flowers.

"Forgive me?" Shen Yu asked in a whisper, "I didn't want to, I just asked the manager for a male technician too."

"Anyway, Shen Yu is not allowed to come to places like this in the future, and if she does, she has to bring Rika with her!"

As we spoke, two massage therapists knocked on the door and brought over a set of bathrobes and towels for each gender.

All are around forty years old and dress conservatively and are not good looking.

Rika was relieved to see the appearance of the two masseurs, which was very formal.

After a brief rinse and a change into the loose clothes and trousers provided by the technician, Shen Yu and Rika each lay down on the bed.

"First time for you two youngsters, huh?"

The old technician sat on a small bench and massaged the points on the head with his hands with great strength and precision, and the scalp gradually relaxed.

"Hmm."

"It's good to come together to get well, unblock the meridians and have a bit more energy for everything."

"......"

As expected, the older technicians knew a lot more, and once they saw the young couple, they taught Shen Yu and Rika some unique techniques while giving them a massage.

For example, they can teach Shen Yu how to prolong the time, or teach Rika how to take care of herself, or how to stop the pain when her period hurts.

Rika, as a reserved girl, was blushing, but she couldn't help but strain her ears to listen, and her memory was so good that she remembered what she didn't want to remember, but she remembered it very clearly ......

A relaxing head massage is followed by a chest, back and shoulder massage, then hands and legs, tapping, tapping, pushing, kneading, etc.

The first time massage was ticklish, Shen Yu could bear it, Rika would occasionally giggle and plead, "Hahahaha ...... tickles ......"

"Your skin is too tender, girl, I don't even dare to press hard for fear of giving you a purple pinch, but if you are lighter you are afraid of itching, so bear with me."

"Tsk, with that body, your boyfriend is happy to be with you."

Ninety minutes passed quickly.

Other than that, a little hot stone therapy after the pressure, the whole body was much clearer and more energized.

At least it didn't leave a bad impression on Shen Yu and Rika, and they learned a lot of strange things.

After the technician left, Shen Yu and Rika went back to rinse off their bodies.

Shen Yu washed up first and sat on the edge of the bed playing on her phone waiting for her.

It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and it's ten o'clock when I get home. I have to continue to take my father-in-law and mother-in-law shopping in the morning, and I don't know if it's a good idea to go back.

As he was thinking about it, that side of the bed pressed down and a familiar fragrant breeze blew behind him as a soft body hugged him from behind.

"Handsome, all alone~?"

"Waiting for a girlfriend."

"So...do you need any service?"

"Don't don't."

"Have it~ it's cheap~ it's only one breakfast~!"

Shen Yu has made up his mind not to go home tonight.
