Chapter 220: It's killing us to be apart (2 in 1)

"Whoo~! The time has come to meet happiness! Congratulations!"

The four dragons hiding in the wardrobe couldn't hold their breath and came clattering out of the wardrobe with roses and salutes in hand.

Rika's eyes were wide with wonder as petals and confetti fell from the sky.

"Le Le You ......"

"Oops, don't say anything, now the battlefield is left to you, we'll retreat first!"

With that, the four big dragons ran out again in a flurry, not forgetting to take Su Zhifu, who was standing in the doorway covering his eyes and peeking through his fingers at Shen Yu's brother and Rika's sister kissing.

Rika was still in a daze, not sure if it was from Shen Yu's kisses or from all that had happened tonight.

"Honey, they ...... mmm~"

Now that no one was home, Shen Yu kissed her on the mouth, picked her up and placed her on the large bed covered with rose petals.

In this new house, the two began a new phase of their lives with this dreamy evening.

In the morning, she will be returning to Yokohama, a night of unprecedented physical and mental satisfaction before she leaves.

From the large bed covered with rose petals, to the kitchen, bathroom, living room, small loft ......

It was one of Rika's happiest days, willing to give him all she had and just as eager to ask him for more.

We released our emotions to each other one at a time, until after two in the morning.

On the drive back, Rika is sleeping peacefully in the passenger seat with the custom-made diamond ring on her ring finger, engraved with their names on the inner ring, her other hand still wrapped tightly around the ring.

Shen Yu drove slowly and didn't wake her up when he parked the car. He just gently picked her up, carried her home, put her in bed, changed her clothes, covered her up, and then lay beside her on his side, holding her and watching her all night.

After a real night of watching, even though he was exhausted, he was not sleepy and kept watch over her until dawn.

......

The room gradually becomes brighter.

Rika met his gaze when he opened his eyes after a restful night's sleep.

With a sweet, honeyed smile on her lips, she arched towards him and buried her head between his neck.

"Wake up."

"Mmm~ Honey, did you stay up all night ......"

"Want to see you a little longer, take a shower."

Shen Yu picked her up and together they went into the bathroom for another wonderful morning.

Probably thinking that Rika would be returning to Yokohama in a few minutes, the two of them hadn't felt tired at all since last night, as if they were trying to make up for what they were about to lose all at once.

After packing and having breakfast, Shen Yu took Rika to the airport.

Rika's little face was bitter and she refused to leave.

"Okay, okay, I'll be over to you soon, this is an airport and we can't mess around, it's time to get to the point, go on."

"Hm ...... Then you'll have to come to me soon oh!"

"It's a deal."

"Pull the trigger on ......"

Shen Yu stretched out his little tail finger and hooked it with hers. Rika stood on tiptoe and gave him a peck on the lips before he went through security and into the terminal.

At ten o'clock, the plane took off on time, taking Shen Yu's heart with it, and suddenly it was empty.

He hates this gate.

It was only then that tiredness came over me in a rush, looking at the shadow of the plane fading into the sky in the distance, standing in place in a daze, the whole world silent.

Back in the car, flatten the seat and take a two-hour nap.

I woke up refreshed, watching for news of Rika's arrival and driving to the office, where I had a client to talk to this afternoon.

Beauty is always something you have to earn. He had found the answer, so all that was left was to grab it.

Shen Yu and Rika's proposal was successful and Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru were relieved to start preparing for their engagement.

After talking to Asaba Kazuo and his wife, a date has been chosen for the engagement - August 6, 2021.

......

It's only been a week and Rika already misses him so much.

The last time I wrote a diary, I can now write again, but this is not a happy event, Rika would rather not write again for the rest of her life.

"Every time I come back, I feel more and more like my heart is not here anymore, that the place I want to live is Sunan, and after I met you, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger"

"I want to eat crystal shrimp dumplings, I want to eat crab shells, I want to eat cinnamon taro, I want to eat you, eat you, eat you, I want to eat you so badly"

When I got back to Yokohama, I spent the rest of the day in my room talking to him on my mobile phone, or going through the chat logs and retouching photos of the two of them.

On weekends, he is not at work, so we can talk all day long, but on weekdays, he is at work and Rika dares not disturb him, so we can only talk on video at noon and in the evening.

Brush your teeth on video, eat on video, take a bath on video and sleep on video.

Wow, thanks for the technology.

"Asa! Feather! Pear! Aroma!"

There came the sound of my mother's voice, then the door to the room was pulled open and sure enough, I saw her, still in her pyjamas, with her feet up, lying on her bed playing with her phone.

"It's eleven o'clock and you're still not up, didn't you say you were coming back to draw a cartoon?"

What manga, what Matsushima editor, no idea.

Rika rolled over in bed with a grunt, wrapped himself in the blanket and pouted, "I don't want to get up ...... Rika is already a loser and has to sleep every day to make the time go faster... ..."

"Big lazy bastard, get up quickly."

Miori comes over and pulls the covers off her and slaps her palm against her upturned little bottom.

"Ah, mommy you don't love me anymore, you don't even have Shen Yu to spoil me!"

"Rika has become so lazy that when she marries someone, your Shen Yu will not want you either."

"No, Rika is super hardworking at home!"

When she was packing her bags, she forgot to collect two of his clothes and now she can't sleep every night.

"Mum, when are Shen Yu and the others coming over? He's so annoying, he won't say anything when I ask him... Rika feels like he can't do anything if he's not here ......"

"......"

It's true that women are not the best.

"After dinner, we'll go shopping for wedding gifts... Rika, are you sure you don't want to come along?"

"I'm feeling energetic now."

At Miori's words, Rika's ears immediately perked up and his eyes lit up with light.

The ceremony of tying the knot, or betrothal, is a very important event on the Japanese side.

On the day of the ceremony, both families exchange gifts in kimono, and in Kanto, where men and women are generally considered equal, the gifts are similar.

The reception fee is very low compared to many regions in China, and is usually set according to the situation of both families, and does not exceed three months' salary, it is just a ceremonial process and generally ranges between 500,000 and 1 million yen, which translates into a few tens of thousands of yuan.

Because they were not old enough to get a marriage licence in China, Miori made sure that Rika had to come home for the ceremony, which is generally considered more valid than a marriage contract in Japan.

In the afternoon, Miori took Rika shopping with her and enrolled her in a pre-wedding course.

The main content of the pre-marriage course is training in the conclusion of the marriage contract, the rituals of the knotting ceremony, the etiquette of the wedding banquet and the many rituals of the post-marriage period, etc.

In her mother's opinion, her daughter is still like a child, and she is afraid that she will be driven back if she marries a Shen Family and loses her manners.

After more than a week at home, Rika has finally found something to do and is seriously learning how to be a good wife.

It is always a torturous time to be apart from your sweetheart, but as the date approaches, that torment turns to anticipation.

"What have you been doing the last two days, seeing you with a book every day."

Shen Yu has just finished taking a shower, towel in his right hand to wipe his hair, phone in his left hand with Rika reading a book on the screen and a lollipop in his mouth.

"Does husband mean this book."

"Ah."

"Hehehe, this one, ah, is a book about how to train your husband after marriage!"

"......"

Shen Yu rolled her eyes with a good laugh and asked her, "So how do you want to tune me out?"

"Well, you'll know when we get married."

"So smug, I'm living a free life now, gee, it's so nice to sleep alone, why don't I come back to you next year?"

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!"

Rika hums super loudly into her phone, then brings a small loop of leather straps to pull her hair up, gets up and goes to the bathroom, where she puts her phone on a shelf.

"I'm going to take a shower, bad guy, bye!"

"Don't ......"

Shen Yu stared unblinkingly at the screen of his phone, feeling the torment of the past half a month come rushing back to him.

"Does my husband really want to come back to me next year?"

"I'll come and see you tomorrow."

Can't wait.

The Shen Yu family left for Yokohama early on the morning of August 4.

Miori kept a close eye on Rika, fearing that she might sneak out on her own.

But it's easy to protect your daughter, but it's hard to protect yourself from the little flower-picking thief.

After settling in at the hotel, Shen Yu sneaked a taxi to Rika's house, not daring to ring the doorbell, but keeping his hat down and looking around like a thief at her door, occasionally picking up his mobile phone to look at it and typing quickly on the keyboard.

"Mum, I've got a shopping date with Sae today! I won't be home until tonight!"

"...... really?"

"Look at this, isn't this Sae's message."

Rika took out his mobile phone and there was a message about a shopping date with Sae.

Miori looked at her suspiciously, wanting to say something, stopping, but finally letting her out the door.

Rika walked out of the house slowly and haughtily, and when she reached the courtyard, her pace suddenly quickened, and she dashed out of the doorway nimbly, throwing herself into Shen Yu's arms as if she were a swallow.

"Well ...... bad people! If Mum finds out, I'll be homeless tonight!"

"Then don't go home. ......"

A day without seeing you is like three years without seeing you.

The satisfaction and happiness of finally holding the person you have been longing for in your arms is truly indescribable.

From the moment they met, Rika hung on to him and never let go, almost as if he was half-carrying her, a position that was so strenuous that Shen Yu squatted down and put her on his back.

Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and no words could express the emotions she was feeling right now, kissing his cheeks, his ears, the back of his neck like a demented girl in a frenzy.

We carried her on our backs and walked slowly all the way. We wanted to take her to eat good food and see the sights and stuff, but we didn't want to waste a minute on that after all.

Got a room close by and lingered into the night.

In the most intimate gesture, pouring out the days of missing and passionate love.

"Whew~"

They both lay contentedly on the bed, Shen Yu holding her close to him, kissing her pink and creamy cheeks, his big hand grasping her small one and kneading it gently, his gaze full of tenderness.

"Honey~"

"Hmm?"

"Husband~ Husband~"

Rika smiles sweetly and wraps her arms around his waist, her long legs around him, her ear to his chest, listening to the sound of his strong heartbeat and feeling the real happiness.

"I miss you so much, I miss you super, super much, so far from Yokohama to Sunan!"

"Then your husband I miss you more, so far from here to the moon."

"Hmph, bad man, don't believe you, miss me you would have come to me long ago."

"It's not coming. ......"

Rika thought of something and said bitterly, "It's all your fault just now, I forgot something important ......"

"What is it?" Shen Yu said curiously.

The bed was in a messy state, with the two men's clothes and frayed tissues scattered everywhere, and for the moment there was no desire to clean it up.

She got up, took her bag aside, took out the diamond ring Shen Yu had given her and put it on her finger.

"We should have just worn our rings! That way it wouldn't have felt like we were coming to steal, steal ......"

She had a very fair complexion and this diamond ring looked particularly good on her ring finger. Shen Yu squeezed her four fingers, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, and took her in his arms again, sitting her on his lap.

It was really hard to part with a single minute.

"My mother has already prepared the bride price for this visit, so tomorrow I will go to your house with my parents for dinner, and the day after tomorrow we will have the marriage ceremony.

"Honey~ you're so sweet!"

"I thought you said you weren't wearing a ring just now, so let's make up for it now ......"

"Well ......"

The little mouth was kissed and the two closed their eyes in another passionate entanglement, truly in love with each other, from body to soul.

At this age, Shen Yu's legs only felt a little dizzy when she packed up and left.

We had dinner together and returned the girl as if she were a thief.

"Go inside, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Then you need to call Rika when you get back to the hotel ......"

After a long hug, Rika reluctantly went back inside.

Asaba Kazuo is reading a newspaper, Miori is sharpening her iPhone, and when she hears a noise, she looks up at Rika, who is walking furtively against the wall.

"Back?"

"I'm tired after a long day of shopping with Sae, I'm going to bed now, good night Mummy and Daddy."

Rika blushed, afraid that Asaba Kazuo and Miori would see what was going on, and ran for the room.

At lunchtime, Miori was a bit convinced, but in the afternoon when she was shopping for groceries, she bumped into Sae, which made the reserved mother say something.

"Mama Rika, shall we go to bed early too?"

"You sleep by yourself!"

Asaba Kazuo looks innocent.
