You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 74 Side Story 7 Part 2

Xu Huaisong laughed and pulled Ruan Yu back. He kissed her earlobe and hinted: “We really don’t have enough time now, but we still have the whole night after the movie.”

Ruan Yu’s ears burned and she pushed him away with her elbow: “Who’s going to do it with you the whole night!” As she was speaking, she walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

Xu Huaisong smiled and turned to go into the other bathroom. After showering, he went to brew some honey tea to sober up and saved one cup for Ruan Yu as well. He brought the cup to Ruan Yu after she finished showering and then helped her blow dry her hair.

Ruan Yu checked Weibo posts on her cell phone as she drank. There were many posts tagging her; most of them were her readers who were posting their location and images of their movie tickets. They were saying that they were about to watch the premier and asked her whether she would be there as well.

Ruan Yu didn’t disclose whether she would be there or not but clicked like on all of them. When her hair was almost dry and she was about to put her cell phone away, she received a call from Xu Huaishi: “Sister-in-law, you are still at home? Zhao Yi and I have already picked up the tickets and we’re driving over right now.”

Xu Huaishi had purchased their tickets for them. She bought four tickets for two sets of connecting seats[1] next to each other.

Xu Huaisong couldn’t drive since he had been drinking and was planning to use the bike from a bike share to get to the theater, which wasn’t too far away. They were supposed to meet Zhao Yi and his sister there. He didn’t expect the two youngsters to be so considerate.

Ruan Yu replied: “Alright.” Then she got ready and went out with Xu Huaisong. They got into the backseat of Zhao Yi’s car. Xu Huaishi who was in the passenger seat turned her head to caution them: “Be sure to fasten your seatbelts, new driver on the road.”

Zhao Yi unhappily tsked: “I got my license almost two months ago.”

“That’s right.” Xu Huaishi humphed: “I’ve had my life in your hands for two months now. It’s like having my life hanging in the balance everyday!”

“Isn't your life hanging there quite securely?”

“That’s because I’m tough, but my sister-in-law is getting ready to get pregnant. She can’t get a single scratch at all!” She turned to take a look at Xu Huaisong after speaking and tentatively asked: “Right, Ge?”

Xu Huaisong gave her a glance: “Who gave you this mission?”

It looked like her bickering with Zhao Yi had been scripted beforehand in order to find out when her brother and Ruan Yu were going to have kids.

Xu Huaishi couldn’t continue and turned to look at Zhao Yi: “See, I told you that my brother would see through it.”

Ruan Yu laughed: “You can just ask. You don’t need to go about circles like this.”

“Grandma told me to pry about it. But you two don’t have to feel any pressure, just like my mom said– – ‘it’ll depend on their own decision.’”

Xu Huaisong and Ruan Yu looked at each other and said: “We’ll let nature take its course.” That meant they weren’t going to avoid it.

Xu Huaishi giggled: “Then it should happen rather quickly.”

Xu Huaisong, Ruan Yu: “......”

They were wondering whether their little sister seemed to know too much? Why would she sound like an old hand in this matter?

Zhao Yi lightly coughed, trying to dissipate the doubt he could sense coming from the backseat. But it didn’t seem to work and he coughed again.

This time, it was Ruan Yu’s turn to pry: “After the movie, what are you two going to do?”

Xu Huaishi turned her head: “Hrm? We’re certainly going to go back to our schools.”

[1]: In China, there’s movie theaters with seating for couples where you buy the two seats with the middle armrest missing as a unit.
