"I-I mean, just listen to Mr. Shen Yu's arrangements!"
Asaha Rika reacted, stood up from the chair and quickly waved her hand towards Shen Yu at the door.
"If you want to go home, you can go home. If you don't want to go home, don't go back. Why do you have to listen to my arrangements..."
Shen Yu has a weird look on his face, but Li Xiang is too dependent and has to wait for others to make decisions about everything.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday coincide with each other. The holiday lasts for a whole week. For international students like Asaba Rika, asking for leave is a simple matter. It is not surprising to go home for ten and a half days during the holiday.
Japan also has a Mid-Autumn festival, but over there it's called "Fifteen Nights" and "Mid-Autumn Festival". Watching the moon is called "Tsukimi", and the food eaten is not called moon cakes, but "Tsukimi dumplings."
In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival uses a full moon to symbolize people's reunion, and expresses wishes for missing one's hometown and reuniting with relatives. However, the Japanese Mid-Autumn Festival pays more attention to sacrifices and moon appreciation, and there is no holiday like ours.
"All right… "
Asaba Rika nodded. She had been away from home for a month and still missed home. She also wanted to go home and visit while she had a vacation.
But, I still want to stay here and celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.
So I got a little confused.
"I'll call dad and ask him!"
Rika Asaba couldn't make up her mind, so she took out her mobile phone and called Kazuo Asaba who was far away in Yokohama. It was about nine o'clock in the evening there, and she hadn't gone to bed so early yet.
During her stay in China, Asaba Rika would call her home probably every two or three days, just to chat about trivial matters in life and ask her parents how they were doing recently. Then, even she didn't notice, on the phone The number of mentions of depression is also increasing.
If Shen Yu took her to play, she would have been telling her mother about going to play with Shen Yu on the phone that day.
There are some differences between Japanese parents and Chinese parents. They are more willing to cultivate their children's independent character. Rika calls home every three days, which is quite incredible to other Japanese people, just like they haven't grown up yet.
Especially when the children get married, they are basically two families. They will not live and eat together, and the parents are more willing to live their own lives.
Therefore, Asaba Rika came to China to study. Apart from her own interest in this culture, the reason why her parents agreed to her was because they hoped that she could learn to be more independent.
Soon, Kazuo Asaba answered the phone.
Naturally, the conversation between the two was in Japanese, and Shen Yu couldn't understand it, but judging from Li Xiang's tone and expression, it was most likely that this guy was acting like a spoiled child. She had been pampered since she was a child.
As we chatted, it seemed that my mother was answering the phone, so the voice call was changed to a video call.
Chen Yu glanced from a distance and saw Asaba Rika's mother. The two looked very similar, especially their eyebrows. They looked very gentle and virtuous.
Seeing them in the video, Shen Yu went out wisely.
"We have eight days off! I kind of want to go home, so I want to ask mom and dad for their opinions."
"It's such a long vacation, you can consider coming back. Mom misses you too..." As she said that, Kazuo Asaba's voice seemed to come again, and then she added: "Your dad said he is not free these days, the company There are a lot of things to be busy with, and I may not have much time to spend with you when you come back... "
"Then, should I go home or not?"
"Mom doesn't know either..."
Listening to the conversation between mother and daughter, Asaba Kazuo rolled his eyes. Rika's personality was just like her mother's, she was soft and weak, and couldn't make up her mind about anything.
"Um...your father has something to tell you."
"dad!"
Kazuo Asaba answered the phone: "Well, Rika needs to learn to be more independent. Going to China is a good exercise. It's only been a month now, and it's hard to travel back and forth. It won't be too late for you to come back in the New Year. Also It’s New Year’s Eve in two months.”
"That's it, it doesn't matter to me. I'm living a good life here now. Mr. Shen Yu takes special care of me. He is a super upright boy."
"That's great. If we have the chance to meet, Dad will thank him personally."
"Uh-huh!"
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is of great significance in China. If possible, you can visit Mr. Shen's house and ask me to say hello. Or you can go home if you want. Dad will pick you up at the airport when he has time. Lixiang needs to learn to make her own decisions. , in the future, you need to make your own decisions in study, work, life, marriage... and dad won't help you make choices."
"Yeah! Then I'll think about it!"
After hanging up the phone, Asaba Rika held her chin with her hands and looked at the panda doll on the table in a daze.
Is it okay to go back or not...
It’s really hard to choose...
If I go back, I won’t see Mr. Shen Yu for many days again...
He will definitely miss me very much...
So Asaba Rika ran to the living room again. When she saw that Shen Yu was not there, she ran downstairs to look for him.
Shen Yu was tinkering with programs in front of the computer. When he saw her, he ran down. After a glance, he continued typing on the keyboard. His hand was injured and his coding speed was much slower.
"Mr. Shen Yu, what are your plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Do you want to stay here?" Asaba Rika asked curiously.
"I'm going home for a few days." Shen Yu said.
"Oh okay… "
Asaba Rika looked a little disappointed and asked him again: "What about me?"
Shen Yu was about to vomit blood from her anger and said speechlessly: "Aren't you going home? Take a leave and go back for ten days and a half, or it doesn't matter if you stay for a month or two and then come back."
He really wished that Li Xiang could go back to Japan, so that he would have a reason not to take her home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The thought of taking her to his home made Chen Yu feel numb.
"When I return home, I may stay for three...seven...twenty-one days. You will stay here to look after the house by yourself. You will be bored and lonely. I suggest you go home."
"ah… "
"Don't worry, I will take you to the airport."
"All right… "
Rika Asaba looked frustrated and had no choice but to go upstairs and call Kazuo Asaba: "Dad, I have decided to go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Kazuo Asaba: "..."
It's over. I wanted to go on vacation with Li Xiang's mother to enjoy the moon. But now the clingy spirit came home and the plan was ruined again.
God! Please send an upright, kind and independent boy to take away my clingy daughter!
"Have you thought about it? There's no point in going home..."
"I've thought about it!"
"Okay then, you book your flight first and I'll pick you up then."
"Yeah! Dad is happy to hear that I'm coming home?"
"Haha... I'm so happy."
Asaba Rika is very satisfied. Although Shen Yujun dislikes her, her father does not dislike her. Is this great fatherly love
She didn't know how to use domestic software to buy air tickets, so she went downstairs to ask Shen Yu.
Shen Yu had never been so patient in teaching her. He even put down his work and helped her book a flight in person.
"Shen Yujun, you are so kind."
"It should."
Looking at the flight information one after another, the gloomy and excited face became more and more solemn...
What the hell is this! Starting from tomorrow until the 9th, all the tickets have been booked!
Regular air tickets starting on the 10th cost more than 6,000 each, and first-class tickets were still available, but when he saw the price, Shen Yu couldn't help but ache, even if it wasn't his money.
"Shen Yujun, how are you? Do you have a ticket for the day after tomorrow?"
"You probably, maybe, maybe... you can't go back. Do you want to take first class?"
"I do not have money!"
Asaba Rika quickly took her phone back and checked the air tickets day by day, all of them were sold out.
"Why is it like this..."
Qian Yulixiang sat down next to Shen Yu, with a bitter look on her face. It seemed that she had to stay here alone for seven days.
He took out his cell phone and called Kazuo Asaba again, telling him that he couldn't go back.
Kazuo Asaba suppressed his happy mood and comforted her: "It's okay. Just wait until the New Year and come back. It's only been two months. Mom and dad miss you very much. Go to bed early."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Asaba Rika: "...?"
Shen Yu looked at the computer screen sharpening his knife and couldn't help but look at her.
But from the corner of his eye, he still caught a glimpse of her lying alone on the table, her little mouth pursed with an unhappy look on her face, and her fingers aimlessly scratching the screen of her phone, like an abandoned kitten.
"Well... how about you go to my house... I..."
"Yeah!!"
Asaha Rika instantly became energetic, and without waiting for Shen Yu to regret it, she ran upstairs in a hurry, and there was only a series of joyful footsteps.
Shen Yu: "..."
