You’re My Belated Happiness
Chapter 69 Side Story 2 Part 2
Yet, Xu Huaishi was still slow in recognizing it.
Because he would ridicule her for being too short while he was wiping the blackboard clean, laugh at her “serves you right” when handing over the English answers, and say that she looked as pale as a ghost when he accompanied her running, she had overlooked what lies beneath all of his actions. For a long time, she had treated his goodwill as “annoying provocation.”
It wasn’t until about six months ago, when she was photographed with Li Shican by the paparazzi and Zhao Yi got into fights because of rumors about her, that she truly realized it.
But after she realized it, she got scared.
That day when she called Xu Huaisong, she deliberately made light of her classmate being brought into the police station. Later on, she also tried to deceive herself when she mentioned to Ruan Yu that she believed that it was impossible that Zhao Yi was fighting because of her. In reality, she was scared and was only trying to convince herself.
During the fight, if it wasn’t for passersby stopping Zhao Yi in time, Zhao Yi might have killed the other person. Xu Huaishi felt suffocated from the kind of fondness from Zhao Yi. It was like she suddenly had a massive weight pressing down on bare shoulders. She didn’t want to bear it.
After that incident, Xu Huaishi started to avoid Zhao Yi and ignored him for the whole summer until he realized her aloofness . When school started again, he would happily banter with other girls in their class but not talk to her.
When fall passed and winter arrived, Xu Huaishi thought Zhao Yi might have gotten over his feelings towards her. Besides, it felt awkward to be estranged while they were in the same classroom all the time. Xu Huaishi started chatting with him again and they were on friendly terms again.
However, perhaps influenced by the vibe of the New Year firework show, he seemed to have crossed the line again.
Or to be more exact, he had never backed away. It was only possible for him to put her finger print into his cell phone while she was asleep in the classroom. But ever since the weather got colder in October, she had never taken a nap in the classroom.
On the one hand, he was flirting with other girls and on the other hand, he secretly scanned her finger print. He was truly trickier than her own brother.
Xu Huaishi squinted her mouth when she thought about it. Suddenly she heard Ruan Yu ask: “He likes you, but what do you think about it?”
“Look at me, I knew it but pretended not to know it. How would I have any thoughts about it?”
“Hum……knew it but pretended not to know it, that doesn’t mean you don’t have any thoughts about it.”
“Aiya, Sister-in-law.” Xu Huaishi gave her a glance: “How can you encourage a student to develop puppy love?”
“It’s not that.” Ruan Yu laughed out: “Do you know why teachers and parents don’t let you have puppy love?”
“They just worry that we won't study hard.”
“Then why would having puppy love make you not study hard?”
Xu Huaishi didn’t know how to answer and shook her head.
Since that was all the adults kept telling them, she had never thought about exactly why.
“Theoretically, a proper and stable relationship between adults wouldn’t bring any negative effect to their lives. But in reality, a relationship has to go through ups and downs in periods of infatuation and bonding. If they fail to bond, then there’s a period of heart brokenness. Therefore, it usually wasn’t in a stable state. Falling in love isn’t a bad thing in itself but the emotional ups and downs might cause trouble for people. If you don’t know his feelings towards you, then it doesn’t matter. If you know it and also are somewhat stirred up by it, then simply running away from it will only cause you to be emotionally unstable and that will certainly influence your studies.”
Xu Huaishi blinked and replied diffidently: “Oh.”
