You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 67 Part 1

Ruan Yu frowned after hanging up the phone. She opened WeChat chat with Xu Huaisong, scrolled up and down a few times, then put down the cell phone. A short while later, she picked up the phone again.

She wondered whether it was simply because his cell phone was out of battery or if there were some other reasons he couldn’t answer?

She knew that Xu Huaisong didn’t have a habit of overworking. This time it must be from the jetlag preventing him from getting enough rest in the first few days after he arrived in the US. He stayed up for the entirety of last night and was busy with the court hearing today. Could it be that he’s having some physical problems?

She figured that must be the reason, otherwise how would he go to sleep at 6 pm.

The more Ruan Yu thought about it, the more panicked she became. She began to look more and more anxious.

The other script writers in the car asked her whether there was anything wrong.

Ruan Yu shook her head to say nothing was wrong, but felt helpless when she cast her eyes down.

She was so far away from Xu Huaisong and didn’t know any of his friends over there. She pondered how she could make sure he was alright.

She scrolled her cell phone back and forth. Suddenly, she noticed that her fingertip rested on her WeChat chat with Lu Shenglan and paused.

She was too unsettled to allow herself a moment of hesitation. She clicked on the cursor and typed: [Ms. Lu, sorry to disturb you late at night. I can’t get in contact with Huaisong and am a little worried about him. I wonder whether it’s convenient or not for you to ask his roommate to check on him for me?]

The scenery outside the window quickly moved backwards. Ruan Yu clicked send.

There was no reply for the time being, Ruan Yu figured that Lu Shenglan probably didn’t regularly use WeChat.

The car drove down from the freeway and into the city limit of Su City. It wasn’t until the car stopped in front of First High School when Ruan Yu received a reply from Lu: [Please wait a moment. Let me contact him.]

Ruan Yu lightly breathed out. She got out of the car and saw Xu Huaishi stand in front of the school, waving at her: “Jiejie!”

Ruan Yu was surprised to see her there. She moved forward: “It’s so cold, why are you here?”

“Waiting for you!” Xu Huaishi searched behind her as she spoke: “Aren’t the actors coming with you?”

Ruan Yu smiled: “The actors won’t be here until tonight. Why don’t you keep waiting here?”

Xu Huaishi put her arm around Ruan Yu’s: “Never mind. As long as I’m with you, I’ll see all those stars for sure.”

Ruan Yu gave her a glance. Since one of her arms was now hooked by Xu Huaishi, Ruan Yu used her other hand to flip through her cell phone.

“What are you looking at, Jiejie?”

“I can’t get in touch with your brother. I’m a little worried.”

“Hrm? When did you try to contact him?”

“About an hour ago. Someone called him then but the call went to voicemail.”

“Hrm, but I called him about two hours ago.”

Ruan Yu was surprised. Xu Huaishi had spoken to her brother not too long before Zhou Jun tried to call Xu Huaisong.

Ruan Yu asked: “He’s alright then?”

Xu Huaishi humphed in a low voice: “He’s alright, just sounded very tired. I had woken him up and he was very annoyed. He told me that his cell phone is almost out of battery and I should hang up fast.”

Ruan Yu felt relieved.

It must be that the cell phone went dead while he was sleeping. She had let her imagination go wild again. She even contacted Lu Shenglan.

Ruan Yu was about to send another message to Lu Shenglan to tell her not to bother. But Lu Shenglan sent a message over before she could: [I checked. His roommate said he’s sleeping in his room and asked whether he should go wake him up or not?]

Ruan Yu hurriedly replied: [Never mind. Let him sleep. Sorry to trouble you.]

Ruan Yu felt completely relaxed now that the weight was finally off her mind. She turned to look at Xu Huaishi and found her wearing the knee length school uniform skirt. She asked: “Aren’t you cold, dressing like this?”

“The movie crew is coming to shoot the actual New Year’s Eve firework show at school. We’re all excused for afternoon classes. Me and some of my classmates signed up to be the extras for the shoot tonight, so we have to look good.”

“It’s such a huge sports field. Besides it’s in the middle of the night, with the fireworks flashing, who would recognize you?”

“Then, why did you wear short skirts eight years ago during the firework show?”

Ruan Yu was speechless. That was the pity of making all the details of one’s romance public.
