You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 65 Part 3

With one hand on the steering wheel, Xu Huaisong used his other hand to hold Ruan Yu’s hand and said, “Don’t think too much into it. Let the police do their work.”

After driving through the hills, they arrived at Ruan’s home. They didn’t mention anything about what they encountered earlier to Ruan’s parents who were quite happy to see them. The only thing was that while they were eating hot pot, Ruan Yu still felt a little nauseous.

Qu Lan noticed that Ruan Yu hadn’t touched much of the food. She frowned and asked: “What’s wrong, Yuyu? No appetite?”

Ruan Yu didn’t want her parents to worry too much about Zhou Jun’s case and slightly shook her head to say: “Um, I ate too much during afternoon tea at Huaisong’s home. I’m not that hungry yet.”

Xu Huaisong knew that she hadn’t eaten very much in the afternoon. It was because of what she had seen earlier that caused the problem.

He moved the two plates of bright red meat in front of her away and cooked some vegetables for her instead to put into her bowl.

Ruan Yu winked at him in appreciation of his thoughtfulness.

Ruan Chengru noticed it and also gave Qu Lan a look: these two kids seem to be hiding something from us.

Qu Lan: it looks like it……

With that thought in mind, Ruan Chengru continued thinking about it as he carried out a normal conversation with Xu Huaisong about his family, his parents’ health, and his sister’s grades.

With all the conversation, they didn’t touch much of the food on the table.

Qu Lan said to Ruan Chengru: “Hm, look at you, constantly talking to Huaisong that he didn’t even have time to move his chopsticks. Hurry, cook some beef for the kids.”

Ruan Chengru: “Oh, oh.” He picked up the beef plate and began placing them into the hot pot.

Ruan Yu looked up and saw the red meat. She instantly recalled the piece of arm she saw that evening. Her stomach slightly churned. She tried to hold it back but couldn’t. She turned her head away and covered her mouth to retch.

Xu Huaisong patted her back: “Do you need to go to the bathroom?” He looked up and saw Ruan Chengru and Qu Lan all look at him with eyes widening to the size of walnuts. They looked at him stiffly with astonishment.

Xu Huaisong was stunned.

Ruan Yu wasn’t feeling well and didn’t notice her parents’ reaction. She got up from the table and said: “Um, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

Xu Huaisong recovered and nodded to the two teachers before following Ruan Yu into the bathroom.

Ruan Yu used one hand to hold her stomach and the other hand to rest against the wash basin. She tried to vomit but nothing came out. She whispered with a sad face: “The moment I saw that reddish meat, it just reminded me……”

Xu Huaisong turned on the water for her to wash her face and helplessly said: “Your imagination is truly……” He stopped half way through his sentence: “Alright, I’ll eat all the meat after I’m back at the table so you don’t have to see them. Alright?”

Ruan Yu nodded. Xu Huaisong then asked her after remembering the look on her parents' faces: “By the way, why did your parents look at me with that kind of look?”

“I didn’t notice. What kind of look?”

“It’s like……” Xu Huaisong tried to recall: “It’s a look like ‘what did you do to our daughter, you animal’.”

The moment he finished describing it, both of them realized what her parents were thinking.

Oh, no, what a misunderstanding.
