Chapter 085

“Preparing for a rainy day,” Yu Shu said. “If we consider the worst-case scenario in our minds, then when we actually face punishment, it won’t be as scary.”

Hearing these words, Yan Jin felt even more apprehensive.

If the spoiled and clingy Yu Shu wasn’t backing down, how could she retreat?

Wasn’t it just about going to the market, greeting everyone, quickly establishing relationships with them, and then having dinner together at night?

What was so difficult about that?

Yan Jin silently cheered herself on: If Yu Shu could do it, so could she.

“You’re right.” Yan Jin took a deep breath and held Yu Shu’s hand. “Let’s work hard together!”

[Yan Jin’s look of facing death with equanimity is too funny.] [Our dear Yan Jin must be trembling with fear already. This punishment is too scary. Fortunately, I’m not Yan Jin.]

Yu Shu noticed the conflicted expression on Yan Jin’s face. He couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Yan Jin, making friends is still easier than doing math problems.”

“But I’d rather do a day’s worth of math problems than try to establish friendships with so many people,” Yan Jin sighed. “You don’t understand. It’s really scary.”

The two decided to accept the two conditions set by the system. The system, keeping its promise, transported Yan Jin and Yu Shu back to their original world.

As soon as Yan Jin steadied herself, she sensed a furry creature quickly pouncing towards her.

This familiar scene allowed the experienced Yan Jin to dodge behind Yu Shu by relying on muscle memory, successfully avoiding the furry creature that looked quite heavy.

Fortunately, she avoided it. Otherwise, if it had pounced on her, she would have definitely fallen.

Before Yan Jin could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt something tighten around her calf.

“…” Yan Jin looked down and made eye contact with another furry creature.

This scene was extremely familiar. The same thing had happened the first time she visited Yu Shu’s home.

Even Yu Shu’s words to stop the two furry creatures were exactly the same: “Meat Ball, Meat Dumpling, don’t pounce on your sister!”

Yu Shu was holding the cat that had just pounced towards Yan Jin and squatted down to pull the cat next to Yan Jin’s leg.

He mumbled, “Can’t you see how heavy you are? And you still pounce on your sister. If you end up injuring her, see how I’ll deal with you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shu paused. Recalling that he had said the exact same words before, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Yan Jin,” Yu Shu looked up at her, “do you remember the first time you came to our house, I said the same thing to Meat Dumpling and Meat Ball?”

“Of course I remember,” Yan Jin also laughed. “You were even jealous of me, saying that you worked so hard to earn cat food for them, but as soon as they saw me, they pounced on me. You even complained that they were ungrateful cats.”

“How come this time, Yu Shu, you’ve changed your tune?” Yan Jin smiled. “You’re even worried about them injuring me. Not jealous this time?”

“I still have to be jealous, but not of you,” Yu Shu huffed. “And with our relationship, it’s only natural that I care more about you.”

[Tsk tsk, men.] [It’s great to be in a relationship with a young person. Always sincere, passionate, and charging forward.]

Yu Shu stroked Meat Dumpling in his arms and laughed softly, “Although this might be a parallel world, seeing them makes me feel like I’m back home.”

“This time, it shouldn’t be a parallel world,” Yan Jin said with a slight smile. “Because the furniture isn’t mirrored.”

Yu Shu’s eyes suddenly widened. He instinctively turned his head to check the arrangement of his furniture, feeling immensely surprised and happy. “We’re really back!”

Yan Jin smiled and touched Yu Shu’s ear. “Yes, we’re home.”

Just as they were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

“Someone’s here,” Yu Shu’s eyes lit up. “I wonder who’s coming to see us.”

Yan Jin glanced at the spotless floor and tabletops again. “It might be the auntie you hired.”

Yu Shu’s house wasn’t small. If no one regularly cleaned it, it wouldn’t be maintained so immaculately.

“It could also be my parents. They love surprise visits the most.” Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin, his eyes brimming with visible excitement. “Yan Jin, would you like to meet them? My parents are very nice people. They’ll definitely like you a lot.”

Yu Shu’s parents, who were driving to Yu Shu’s house, nodded one after another. “Yes, we both like Yan Jin very much.”

After saying that, Yu Shu’s mother urged her husband, “Hurry up, or the Qin family will beat us to it. This is our first meeting with Yan Jin. I have to gain the upper hand and leave a good impression on her!”

Yu Shu’s father sighed helplessly, “I’m already going at the fastest speed, but there are too many cars ahead. If I go any faster, I’ll be stopped by the traffic police.”

Yu Shu’s mother looked out the car window and only then noticed the long line of cars outside. “Strange, there usually aren’t this many cars. What’s going on today?”
