You’re My Belated Happiness
Chapter 68 Side Story 1 Part 2
What Zhao Yi didn’t expect was for the girl inside the restroom to start screaming when she heard his voice near the door: “Ahhhh. Don’t come in. There are three mops here. I’ll swing them all at you!”
He was annoyed and amused at the same time: “I never hit girls.”
“Then why don’t you leave?”
“You come out first then I’ll go.”
“I’ll come out after you leave.”
“You come out first.”
“You leave first.”
Neither of them would give in. Zhao Yi lost his patience and put his hand on the door knob: “Come out, I promise I won’t hit you. I just want to see what you look like.”
The girl inside held onto the door knob tightly and wouldn’t let go: “You think I’m stupid? If I let you see my face, then will I have any chance of survival later?”
“......Have you watched too many TV dramas?”
Zhao Yi started to push on the door with force while the girl inside also started yelling: “Help, anyone here, help– –!”
Her yelling caught the attention of the PE teacher. Zhao Yi had no choice but to give up and sneak away. At the time, he didn’t know that the girl inside was actually Xu Huaishi.
He found that out later on, purely because Xu Huaishi exposed it herself.
One week later after that encounter, it was Wednesday again. After the same PE class was over, Zhao Yi, holding the basketball, went back to the classroom along the sports field. He met a group of chatty girls on the bleachers nearby gossiping about movie stars.
One of the girls was cheerfully blabbering. But she paused as soon as she saw him.
The girls next to her pressed on: “Then? How did your Shican Gege respond?”
She clammed up and her face turned pale as if she had seen a ghost. She quickened her steps to pass by him.
Zhao Yi was curious and turned to take a look at her. It happened that she also turned to look at him.
When their eyes met, he suddenly realized that this girl must’ve been the one inside the restroom and she was afraid that he would recognize her voice.
In fact, Zhao Yi had already totally forgotten about the whole episode by that point, not to mention her voice. But now, he had a good look at her face.
This girl had an interesting personality and looked pretty good as well.
He started inquiring about her afterwards and learned her name. Not too long afterwards, he learned that she had chosen liberal arts track.
Zhao Yi figured that he didn’t like studying anyways and liberal arts seemed easier. He checked the box for liberal arts as well and decided to gamble on meeting this interesting soul.
At the beginning of the next semester, he got his wish and was assigned to the same classroom as her.
The classroom teacher was the language teacher and the girl happened to be the top student in the class in the same field. On the first day of class, the classroom teacher assigned her to handle the roll call. When it was his turn to be called upon, the girl confidently called out: “Zhao Tie– –!”
No one in the classroom responded.
Three seconds later, Zhao Yi raised his hand with gritted teeth: “As the Language class representative, don’t you know the word you're reading? That’s Yi; che(车) shi(失) Yi.”
The whole class burst into laughter.
She looked up from the roll call sheet and was obviously shocked when she saw his face. But she kept her chin up and bravely said: “Can’t a course representative be allowed to be nearsighted?”
