You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 45 Part 2

If things developed as Xu Huaisong had imagined, it would be like a ritual where they said goodbye to the past and carried on into the future.

But the reality was that Ruan Yu was laughing against the piano saying: “Ouch, my stomach hurts from laughing……”

Xu Huaisong stood there and quietly tried to calm himself down.

Ruan Yu finally stopped laughing and began wiping away the tears in her eyes. Seeing Xu Huaisong’s dark face, she stepped forward to put her arm around his and said: “Alright, alright, I’ve seen that line of letters. I’m touched, really.”

Xu Huaisong preferred at this point that she hadn’t said anything at all.

Xu Huaisong gave her a glance: “Do you know how hard it is to buy white out these days?”

Ruan Yu felt like laughing again. She tried her best to control the urge and said: “Then, I’ll pay for your hard work.”

Perhaps he was unwilling to let the script which he had meticulously developed go to waste and said: “No need to pay me. But let’s make up the unrealized love that we were supposed to have right here.”

“How can we make it up?” Ruan Yu wondered.

Xu Huaisong lowered his head and fixed his eyes on her lips: “What do you think?”

Ruan Yu paused a little, released his arm, moved away a bit, and scratched her head: “Ah…… what should I think?”

Xu Huaisong didn’t say anything but moved a step forward towards her.

Ruan Yu lightly coughed, moved back again till she was right against the piano which had its cover opened. The edge of her palm pressed down on the high notes of the piano keys, making a crisp sound.

She stammered: “This……this is school……”

Xu Huaisong smiled and finally decided to go with his original script. He picked up both of her hands and circled them around his own waist, then said: “Let me make it up to you.”

As he spoke, with his hands supporting himself on the edge of the piano, he slowly lowered his head to get closer to her lips.

The evening sunlight shone through the window; the piano room was filled with warm toned light.

Ruan Yu felt that kissing with such a vibe must feel quite different from normal kissing; she felt it would bring her into a whole new world.

She was so nervous that her eyelashes were quivering. Her hands tightly clutched the tail of Xu Huaisong’s suit jacket, wrinkling it all up.

Then, right at the moment when Xu Huaisong was about to kiss her, they heard an adolescent male voice coming from the hallway outside the room: “Xu Huaishi, what are you doing leaning against the door, are you a thief?”

“......”

Ruan Yu and Xu Huaisong halted and turned to look at the door at the same time.

Xu Huaishi who was looking in through the tiny window on the door quickly ran away while yelling along the way: “Aiya, Zhao Yi, you truly are my jinx. I’ll be beaten to death by my brother now!”

Xu Huaisong had found out that not every meticulously developed script could be carried out as planned.

It was impossible to beat his sister to death, but the look in his eyes was threatening enough for Xu Huaishi, on the way back from school to her home, to hide in the back seat of her brother’s car right behind Ruan Yu, trembling.

Ruan Yu tried to ease the tension in the car and said: “Should we go somewhere to get dinner?”

Xu Huaisong shook his head: “There are some snacks at the back. Take some if you’re hungry. We’ll go back to Hang City right after taking her home.”

Xu Huaishi pursed her lips and said in a small voice: “Ge, you don’t even want to eat dinner with me……”

Xu Huaisong took a look at her from the rear view mirror: “I have things to take care of.”

Xu Huaishi didn’t believe him. Noticing that her brother didn’t seem to want to talk to her any further, she turned to chat with Ruan Yu: “Jiejie, what have you been doing lately, busy?”

Ruan Yu nodded: “I went to a script writing meeting yesterday. They seem to be on track now. I’ll have to go to Global Filming from time to time from now on.”

“Wow, have you met any big shots there?”

“The producer is quite famous in the movie business.”

“How about the publisher?”

Ruan Yu shook her head: “I don’t know much about him. I haven’t met him in the past two meetings. I heard his last name is Wei and that he’s on Global Filming’s board of directors.”

“That’s awesome.” Xu Huaishi gave Ruan Yu a look of admiration and started to cozy up to her: “But, Jiejie, don’t work too hard. You can let my brother do all the things at home, like laundry, cooking, and washing dishes. Ge, right?”

Xu Huaisong was quiet for a moment, opened his mouth about to say something, but stopped himself. He didn’t speak again until after he had driven Xu Huaishi home: “I have to tell you something.”
