You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 66 Part 3

Ruan Yu mumbled with a sad face: “Then why did dad ask him to drink with him?”

Qu Lan gave her a look and said while stretching the bed sheet: “You’re worrying that a few drinks will mess up the relationship between you two? Unless he’s roaring drunk downstairs, nothing will happen.”

“Roaring drunk certainly is impossi……”

Ruan Yu stopped mid sentence and suddenly sensed that something wasn’t quite right.

What did the policeman mention this evening? She was distracted by the case at the time and seemed to have overlooked some crucial information.

She looked up at the ceiling light and started recalling. Her eyes gradually widened.

It was Xu Huaisong who had knocked on dozens of doors labeled 302s at Jinjiang Community? The drunkard who had disturbed residents and caused mass hysteria turned out to be Xu Huaisong?

How could he behave that way after getting drunk?

Ruan Yu was concerned. After a while, she gasped and hurriedly ran out of the room. She ran into someone when she turned the corner.

Xu Huaisong was surprised and held onto her shoulder: “What’s going on?”

Ruan Yu reached over to touch his face: “You aren’t drunk?”

“No.” He was amused: “I can handle alcohol.”

“You can handle it, but you’d get roaring drunk as well!” Ruan Yu frowned as she was speaking: “Hrm, that incident was so embarrassing. I didn’t even know about it until now. I didn’t even apologize to my neighbors……”

Xu Huaisong was speechless.

Ruan Yu touched his face again: “You’re sure you’re alright?”

Xu Huaisong sighed: “I’m really alright. I didn’t embarrass you.”

“How much did you drink?”

“Just that half cup you poured.”

“Why did it take so long to drink such a small amount of liquor?”

Xu Huaisong laughed: “Because I was drinking chicken soup the rest of the time.”

“My dad butchered a chicken today? Why didn’t he offer some soup for me to drink?”

Xu Huaisong lightly scratched her nose tip: “It was especially prepared for me.”

The two of them stayed at Ruan’s home for one night. The next morning, Xu Huaisong flew to the US for work and Ruan Yu went to Global Filming.

The movie script had officially been reviewed and approved. Even the original title was luckily approved. Cen Rongshen instructed them to start shooting before the New Year. They decided to have the booting ceremony on the last day of the year. Then they would go to Su City’s First High School to shoot the first scene.  They were going to shoot the scene of the firework celebration on New Year’s Eve as a good omen for the movie.

Early in the morning of December 31st, Global Filming sent a car over to pick Ruan Yu up to go to the booting ceremony. They gave offerings to heaven and earth during the ceremony in the morning. After lunch, Ruan Yu rode with the crew heading towards Su City.

Ruan Yu was very busy the whole morning and didn’t have time to check her cell phone until after she was in the car. She was thinking of asking Xu Huaisong whether he had gone to sleep or not, but instead she saw a message he had sent over four hours ago: [I didn’t sleep very much last night and am going to bed early. I’ve set the alarm clock to sound after 12 hours. Will accompany you for the New Year countdown.]

It wasn’t even 7 pm over in San Francisco four hours ago. It was really quite unusual for Xu Huaisong to go to bed at this time of the day.

Since he remembered about the New Year countdown, Ruan Yu was satisfied and didn’t think too much into it. She figured that he must’ve been in a deep sleep by now and didn’t bother to reply to Xu Huaisong. Bored, she closed her eyes to rest at the back seat of the car. As she was dozing off, the cell phone in her bag started to vibrate.
