You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 40 Part 2

At first, Xu Huaisong’s heart sank a little, wondering whether Ruan Yu’s condition had worsened and he would have to take her to get a diagnosis. Then he noticed something in the room that seemed a little unusual.

Ruan Yu didn’t turn on the ceiling light. Only the lamp on the nightstand was lit, giving a warm-toned glow. The position of the lamp shade seemed to have been moved to a particular angle so all the glow was focused on Ruan Yu, giving her face a perfect soft glow effect.

It made Ruan Yu look especially good.

Xu Huaisong was a little startled at first, then suddenly lowered his head and chuckled.

It was his turn to be tricked.

Ruan Yu coughed once: “I said I can’t fall asleep, why are you laughing?”

Xu Huaisong didn’t reply. He walked back to turn off the floor lamp in the living room instead. When he came back to Ruan Yu’s room, he said: “You can fall asleep if I sleep with you?”

He closed the bedroom door behind him. Seeing the meaningful smile on his face, Ruan Yu suddenly lost the ability to speak. She felt like she had let a wolf into the house.

It was just like what Shen Mingying had said. When he acted coldly, she was unhappy about it. When she tricked him to come into her room, she became apprehensive.

She was acting like the typical high maintenance person in a relationship.

However, none of the things she dreaded happened.

Xu Huaisong simply sat down at the edge of her bed: “Alright, I’ll just sit here. You can sleep with peace of mind now. Lie down, give me your cell phone.”

Sometimes, a person will obey a gentle command more than stern words.

Ruan Yu obediently handed over the cell phone and lied down under the covers.

The air condition in the room was set at a comfortable 28 degrees Celsius. Xu Huaisong’s body blocked the light, dimming the room. Ruan Yu closed her eyes and felt like she was swimming in a spring breeze.

Ruan Yu pinched the corner of the cover and snickered with pursed lips.

She felt like she had found the perfect way of interacting with him.

She was satisfied with how they were close to each other yet not overly intimate.

Xu Huaisong glanced at her curved lips. He reached over with one hand to pull the bang on Ruan Yu’s forehead to the side and used the other hand to send a message to his psychologist friend: [If she’s in the mood of tricking her boyfriend into her room, she shouldn’t be that traumatized now?]

Zhu Lei: [Do you have to send PDA in the middle of night while consulting with me? Your girlfriend might not be traumatized, but I’m traumatized now, understood?]

Xu Huaisong smiled at the cell phone. Then he had a chill go down his spine.

He turned his head to the side and saw Ruan Yu look at him with wide open eyes.

Subconsciously, Xu Huaisong locked the cell phone screen. He heard her ask in a low voice: “Who were you sending message to in the middle of the night?”

“A male classmate, from high school.” Xu Huaisong answered immediately.

“But, why do you have the look of a young boy in love……”

Xu Huaisong was speechless for a moment, then started laughing: “Because we were talking about you.”

Ruan Yu got interested: “Talk about what about me?”

“You wouldn’t want to know.”

Ruan Yu frowned and sat up on bed: “Were you bad-mouthing me?”

Xu Huaisong shook his head: “No.”

Ruan Yu gave him a glance: “So be it if you don’t want to tell me.”

“Alright.” Xu Huaisong smiled and cleared his throat: “We were talking about how I had been tricked into going into my girlfriend’s room.”

“......”

Looking at Ruan Yu’s shocked expression, Xu Huaisong lowered his voice to add with an innocent look in his eyes: “I told you that you wouldn’t want to know.”

Ruan Yu’s face instantly blushed. She took a deep breath, pulled the covers up, turned her back to him to get under the covers. She said with a muffled sound: “Xu Huaisong, you can go out now.”

Xu Huaisong leaned over while laughing: “Are you upset? If you didn’t insist on getting to the bottom of it, I wouldn’t have laid bare your scheme.”

Ruan Yu covered her ears, refusing to listen to him.
