You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 59 Part 2

Last night, their first time together didn’t last very long but because of their nervousness beforehand, they were both drenched in sweat afterwards. After the deed was finished, Xu Huaisong wanted to carry Ruan Yu to the bathroom but she had refused.

She thought about the purpose of that mirror in the love hotel and wouldn’t go with him.

Xu Huaisong had no choice but to bring water in a basin over to help Ruan Yu wipe herself clean.

In the darkness of the room, the wiping motion ignited the fire between them again. This time, the two of them chose not to resist and went with their passion for a second round.

The second round was much more passionate than the first round.

When they were finished, Ruan Yu was exhausted. When Xu Huaisong tried again to carry her to the bathroom, she was like a dead fish without the energy to struggle against it and by that point no longer cared enough to be embarrassed.

Now, Ruan Yu laid on bed recalling what happened last night, she blushed again while snickering.

As the corners of Ruan Yu’s lips curved upwards, the door to the bathroom suddenly opened.

Ruan Yu instantly wiped the smile from her face and subconsciously shut her eyes, pretending to still be sleeping.

Xu Huaisong had a silent smile on his face. He knelt down next to the bed and slowly got closer to peck on Ruan Yu’s lips: “It’s almost ten already.”

Ruan Yu forgot that she was pretending to be asleep. She opened her eyes abruptly and asked in surprise: “Is it that late?” Then she realized that she was supposed to take care of Xu Huaisong’s three meals. She climbed up: “Then, have you had your breakfast yet?”

Xu Huaisong didn’t have his eyeglasses on and there were still beads of water on his eyelashes. He looked very innocent and shook his head understandingly: “I don’t have the heart to eat.”

“......”

Normally when a man talks dirty, it isn’t scary at all because one could immediately give the man a sharp look to scare him back.

But in Xu Huaisong’s case, one had to digest the dirty talk coming out of his mouth before grasping it and by that time, the best timing for a response had already passed.

He took Ruan Yu’s lack of response as acceptance of his dirty talk and started to bring up the next topic. He said with a laugh: “Get up. I’ve already made breakfast.”

Ruan Yu touched her nose and flipped over the cover to get out of the bed. Once her feet touched the floor, she felt soreness all over her legs.

Noticing that Ruan Yu had paused, Xu Huaisong stopped her: “I’ll bring over the washbasin. You can wash up in bed?”

Ruan Yu hesitated: “I’m just……” She had just gone through two rounds of intimacy last night, not having given birth to a child.

“The fitness examination back in college was even worse. The next day everyone in the dorm was groaning and moaning when they got off the bed.” Ruan Yu mumbled to indicate that it wasn’t a big deal and turned to go into the bathroom.

Xu Huaisong flatly said: “Oh.” After a little while, he followed her to the bathroom: “Then, you mean I’m not as good as your college fitness exam?”

Ruan Yu paused in the middle of squeezing out the toothpaste.

Were the two…… comparable?

Ruan Yu avoided giving a direct answer: “It was the leapfrog which hurt too much.”

Xu Huaisong took the toothbrush in Ruan Yu’s hand and helped her squeeze some toothpaste on the brush. He also filled up water in the cup and handed it over to her. Then, after a short silence, he said: “There’s a way to do it like a leapfrog.”

Ruan Yu wondered whether there was a switch on him that had been turned on last night. Now it seemed like he couldn’t stop from talking about sex.

Ruan Yu stopped the motion of the toothbrush in her mouth and slowly looked up at him. The bluish white foam flowed out of the corner of her mouth.

Xu Huaisong looked at Ruan Yu in the mirror and smiled. He used one arm to circle around her from her back and used the other hand to take her toothbrush while saying: “Open your mouth.”

Ruan Yu blinked and slightly opened her mouth. Xu Huaisong then started to brush her teeth for her.

The brush gently brushed over every one of her teeth, then, a cup of water was brought up to her mouth.

Ruan Yu sneaked a peek at Xu Huaisong in the mirror.

He was very focused, looking down at her. There was tenderness in his eyes. Seeing that Ruan Yu wasn’t moving, he urged her in a soft voice: “Rinse.”

Ruan Yu could feel a kind of intimacy between them which she had never experienced before.

She began to believe what she had heard before: a keen observer could tell just by one look whether a man and a woman already had an “intimate relationship”.

Ruan Yu lowered her head to sip some water from the cup in his hand, rinsed her mouth, then spat the water back out.

You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 59 Part 1

Xu Huaisong lifted his hands and when his kiss landed on Ruan Yu’s lips, his burning palms also landed on her back.

Ruan Yu shivered from the sensation.

Xu Huaisong moved his hands up and down on her with closed eyes.

Ruan Yu was somewhat startled by the sudden movement and wondered to herself if all men probably instinctively knew how to do this thing?

She moved her hands to hold his head.

Xu Huaisong paused and breathlessly asked: “......Where’s your bubble gum?”

“In the third drawer of the TV cabinet……”

Xu Huaisong turned to get out of the bed.

The bed sheet was already gathered in the corner. The disheveled Ruan Yu buried her face in the pillow. Her heart was restless.

She longed for what was going to happen but was nervous about it.

She buried her face even deeper into the pillow and refused to look up when she heard the rustling sound next to the bed.

Then she heard a husky voice from above her head: “There’s no turning back. It’s too late to regret it.”

Ruan Yu jumped: “Wait, wait a moment……”

Xu Huaisong took a deep breath and continued to coax her patiently and gently.

Ruan Yu felt like a lone boat drifting on the ocean. Surrounded by ferocious waves, there was no way for her to escape.

Ruan Yu was as tense as a cooked shrimp: “You, how would you know how……”

Xu Huaisong climbed up and used his nose tip to touch hers: “Because I’ve drilled it many times in my head.”

He touched her sweaty forehead and asked: “Is it ok now?”

Ruan Yu bit her lips and didn’t say anything. Xu Huaisong realized that she had given her consent in silence.

When it finally happened, both of them groaned at the same time.

Xu Huaisong paused and asked her: “Does it hurt?”

Ruan Yu shook her head: “It’s, it’s alright……but I……”

Xu Huaisong patiently asked her: “But what?”

“But I feel like crying……”

Xu Huaisong kissed her forehead: “Silly.”

But Ruan Yu really started crying, tears began to well up in her eyes.

Ruan Yu said while sniffling: “Xu Huaisong, I……”

“I love you.” He interrupted her: “I should be the one who says it first.”

Ruan Yu tightly embraced his back and nodded, then nodded again: “I love you too, probably even more so than you’ve imagined.”

Xu Huaisong’s heart trembled and he continued moving.

Ruan Yu felt that it was a very, very long night. It was so long that she could even see to the end of her whole life.

When Ruan Yu woke up the next morning, she wasn’t in Xu Huaisong’s arms like in those dramas.

She was woken up by the noise of running water.

She opened her eyes and discovered that there was no one next to her but the sheet was still warm.

Xu Huaisong was washing up in the bathroom, probably having just gotten up not too long ago.

In a daze, Ruan Yu blinked her eyes and saw the daylight shine through the gap between the curtains. She slowly woke up and the events of last night also became clearer and clearer in her head.

She and Xu Huaisong had finally taken that step.

From 16 to 18 years old, they held hands once. From May to September when she was 26 years old, they took that step.

It was quite fast yet slow at the same time.

You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 58 Part 2

Xu Huaisong at 18 years old wouldn’t say “I like you” to her because he couldn’t decide his own future. At 26 years old, he wouldn’t say “I love you” to her because he couldn’t be sure about the future of their relationship.

He wouldn’t do so even though his love for her was already strong enough for him to turn the steering wheel at that critical moment.

Ruan Yu felt a lump in her throat but tried to hold back her tears while staring at the ceiling light.

How could Xu Huaisong be so foolish.

She couldn’t even get angry at his foolishness.

Xu Huaisong was about to lie down but saw Ruan Yu’s expression as if she had been deeply moved by something while staring at the ceiling. He paused: “What’s up there?”

Ruan Yu sniffled her nose and almost cried: “The lamp is so beautiful……”

“......”

Xu Huaisong was silent for a moment: “Should I turn it on for you?”

Ruan Yu shook her head: “It’s still quite beautiful when it’s dark……”

He blinked: “Then you keep sitting there and look at it for a while longer?”

She nodded.

Xu Huaisong lied down on the bed.

Ruan Yu held onto her knees and continued watching the ceiling light to calm herself. Yet, the emotion surging inside of her was getting stronger and stronger.

Xu Huaisong was very quiet when he was sad.

Xu Huaisong was also very quiet when he was in love.

This man wasn’t iridescent fireworks nor an earth-shattering thunderbolt. He was the ever-flowing stream, flowing through rocks and ditches, which sent the most wonderful love to her along the way little by little.

It flowed in a trickle yet it could flow to eternity.

Ruan Yu pulled on the cover and slowly laid herself down. She turned sideways to face him and said: “Xu Huaisong, will you be tired of me one day and leave me?”

Xu Huaisong, who was lying flat, immediately frowned when he heard her and turned his head over to say: “I won’t.” He asked: “What are you thinking……”

“I won’t leave you either.” She interrupted him: “I really won’t.”

His knitted brows relaxed. Ruan Yu got closer to him: “Therefore, there isn’t any uncertain future between us.”

“En.” He sighed with a smile: “No need to comfort me. I know I’ve misunderstood you before.”

Ruan Yu shook her head to indicate that she wasn’t trying to comfort him. She stammered: “What I meant is that since that’s the case, why couldn’t we…… be together now?”

Xu Huaisong was surprised: “We’ve already been together for two……”

“I mean.” She hurriedly interrupted him but hesitated to say what she wanted to say: “I mean……”

Xu Huaisong figured out what Ruan Yu meant from her ashamed expression and slowly blinked his eyes.

Something flashed in his eyes as if a star had fallen into the bottom of his eyes.

He was silent for a long moment before opening his mouth to confirm it: “You serious about it?”

Ruan Yu was afraid that if she showed any hesitation, he would continue to draw back. She forcefully nodded: “It has nothing to do with the fact you saved my life or whether you felt bad or not. It’s me who wants…...”

She wanted to hand herself to him.

After speaking her mind, she cast her eyes down to look at her own nose tips and dared not to look at him again.

Xu Huaisong didn’t move for a while while looking at her.

Just as Ruan Yu had made up her mind to take the initiative, Xu Huaisong slightly pinched her chin and confirmed for the last time: “Then I won’t hold back……”

Ruan Yu slowly closed her eyes and nodded.

You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 58 Part 1

Ruan Yu sat on the carpet with both hands over her face.

Xu Huaisong stared at the two boxes, slowly pushed up his glasses, then turned his head to find Ruan Yu peeking through her fingers. Noticing that Xu Huaisong was looking her way, Ruan Yu quickly gathered her fingers.

Xu Huaisong turned his eyes back to the two boxes.

Ruan Yu buried her face between her knees.

It looked like she was waiting for help to save her from the embarrassment.

After a while, Xu Huaisong put up a “calm” front and moved closer to Ruan Yu. He squatted down beside her and said: “How old are you still eating bubble gum?”

“......”

Ruan Yu looked up, stunned.

“Hrm?” She subconsciously questioned.

So he didn’t recognize those boxes? Was it because of the cultural differences between China and the US?

Xu Huaisong acted naturally and turned his head to rummage through the other snacks in the shopping bag. He picked up one after another: “Jelly, shrimp crackers, gummies, how old are you?”

Xu Huaisong looked like he genuinely thought that Ruan Yu was embarrassed that all the snacks had been discovered. Ruan Yu’s blushing face gradually returned to a normal color: “I……I can’t?”

Xu Huaisong smiled and gave her a glance: “Whatever pleases you.” He reached over the two boxes, preparing to put them back into the bag.

Ruan Yu nimbly grabbed the two boxes into her arms: “These are mine. The rest, I can share with you……”

He touched her head: “I won’t fight with you.” Then he reached over to pull her up: “Get up.”

Ruan Yu used one hand to cradle the boxes and got up from the ground with help from Xu Huaisong. Then she watched him walk towards the bedroom and said: “I’ll read a bit then go to sleep.”

Ruan Yu nodded and tidied up the living room. She put the boxes into the drawer. When she walked into the bedroom, she saw Xu Huaisong leaning against the headboard of the bed and had a book in hand checking the questions he had missed. He looked very focused and didn’t seem to be bothered by the accident earlier at all.

He really didn’t recognize the boxes of condoms.

Ruan Yu didn’t know whether she should be crying or laughing. Ruan Yu walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She looked into the mirror and didn’t know how to describe how she felt now.

Was she glad or sad?

It took her ten minutes to brush her teeth, until her teeth were sore. She adjusted herself and opened the bathroom door to go out in a faux happy mood. She climbed onto the bed: “Today’s exhausting. Don’t read anymore, let’s sleep!”

Xu Huaisong answered “oh” and closed his notebook.

Ruan Yu looked at him with a smile. Her eyes glanced over the cover of the book in his hand and the smile froze on her lips.

Wasn’t….. his book upside down?

Xu Huaisong put the book down on the nightstand and shut the ceiling light, but left the light next to the door on to keep the hallway lit.

The bedroom became dark. Ruan Yu blinked her eyes and recalled the words she had seen on the book cover. She was sure that her eyes didn’t fail her.

Therefore, he had looked at an upside down book for ten minutes and didn’t even realize it?

Then, what was he thinking of?

“......”

Ruan Yu flipped open the cover and slowly sat down on the bed under it. She looked at the ceiling.

He recognized the condoms.

How could he not recognize the condoms?

He recognized them but pretended not to so as not to embarrass her.

He recognized them but pretended not because the so-called “wolf without his utensils” was only an excuse.

He would rather take cold showers and read upside down books than cross that line before he thought it was alright to do so.

You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 57 Part 4

That day at Global Filming, Li Shican watched quietly in the lobby to make sure Ruan Yu got in Xu Huaisong’s car. Later on he sent a WeChat message over to Ruan Yu and right at that juncture, Ruan Yu happened to ask Xu Huaisong whether she was being too selfish.

What she meant by selfish was that she had taken his love for granted without paying back equally.

But Xu Huaisong had mistakenly thought Ruan Yu meant that she had frequently accepted Li Shican’s help without paying him back anything.

He thought mistakenly that what Ruan Yu was struggling with was whether she should respond to Li Shican’s caring attention.

“......” After she had thought it through, Ruan Yu was speechless and felt like a fool.

Certainly though, Xu Huaisong was a much bigger fool than she.

Ruan Yu asked in amazement: “When I was at the store and wouldn’t let you come over, you wouldn’t think……”

Was he thinking that she wouldn’t let him go over to the store because it had something to do with Li Shican as well?

Xu Huaisong didn’t respond. It looked like he had admitted it in silence.

Ruan Yu didn't know whether she should laugh or get angry: “Xu Huaisong, you really are driving me mad!”

Xu Huaisong was stunned and blinked his eyes.

Ruan Yu turned to take her cell phone and opened the chat box with Lu Shenglan: “Come, take a good look at this to see what exactly was on my mind.”

Xu Huaisong read through the chats between Ruan Yu and Lu Shenglan then frowned: “What did she say to you?”

Ruan Yu had been hesitating about how to bring up this matter to Xu Huaisong. But now she didn’t have any hesitation and told him what they talked about in detail.

Xu Huaisong listened and pinched between his eyebrows.

Ruan Yu annoyingly asked: “What now, do you have a headache?”

Xu Huaisong shook his head: “Liver aches.”[1]

The liver hurts from being too upset.

“I’m the one who should have liver aches!” She sniffled: “You misunderstood me and sentenced me without even giving me a chance to explain…… Why can’t you speak your mind to make it clear? Do you think silence is gold?”

The more Ruan Yu spoke, the more upsetting she got. Finally, she got up from the couch and paced back and forth as if that was the only way to make her feel better.

Xu Huaisong also sat quietly to comb through his own thoughts. Then he got up to pull Ruan Yu back: “I’m wrong. I won’t keep anything bottled up from now on.”

Ruan Yu took a deep breath: “You better pray there’s still a from now on.”

 

“Don’t……” He pulled her into his arms: “I really know I’m wrong.”

Ruan Yu grinded her teeth and bit his chin.

Xu Huaisong hissed and cleared his throat: “Now, I’ll be straightforward and ask you a question?”

She gave him a glance: “Shoot.”

“Since it has nothing to do with Li Shican, then what had you been doing in the store? You said you were going to buy some good food to eat, but you didn’t eat much.”

“......”

Ruan Yu didn’t know how to reply.

It would not be a big deal to mention what she had done in the store if it was in an intimate moment.

But under the circumstances of now, would she still want to tell him what she had bought?

No, she wouldn’t want to.

She was still upset.

She shook her head: “For this matter, you can just bottle it up in your mind.”

Xu Huaisong frustratedly laughed: “You were just telling me to speak my mind clearly. Now I asked and you wouldn’t tell me.”

“I won’t tell you. So what?”

There was nothing Xu Huaisong could do about it. He adjusted his breathing and glanced over at the big bag of snacks which Ruan Yu had brought back from the store.

His glance made Ruan Yu nervous.

Xu Huaisong keenly noticed Ruan Yu’s uneasiness. He blinked his eyes and said: “Did you buy something?”

Ruan Yu cursed in her mind but shook her head: “No, it’s nothing……”

Xu Huaisong released her and went to check out the bag.

Ruan Yu hurriedly followed him, trying to pull him: “Huh, what are you doing? Don’t look into the bag, it’s my personal property!”

Xu Huaisong couldn’t hold back his curiosity and forgot all about how to be a gentleman. He picked up the bag.

Ruan Yu fought with him to get the bag back.

The two of them pushed and shoved and rolled around on the carpet. Finally, the bag broke in half and two colorful boxes fell out.

“......” He’d discovered a secret.

“......” A secret was discovered.

[1]: 肝疼 (gān téng), literally means 'liver aches'. This is commonly used in China, probably online, to mean that one's angry or upset. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anger hurts one's liver.

You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 57 Part 3

Ruan Yu stood in front of the store shelf and tittered: “Hehe. Well, um……”

Looking at Ruan Yu’s expression, the woman understood and pointed at the shelf with all sorts of colorful boxes: “Oh……need any help?”

Ruan Yu swallowed and the look in her eyes already told the woman she had the “need.”

“Look.” The woman picked up a box from the shelf: “This is good for the first time. Easy to use.”

“Why is this easy to use?”

The woman said straightforwardly with a serious look: “Because it’s larger.”

“......”

“Oh, don’t need the larger one? Then use this.” She picked up another box: “Not easy to cause pain.”

Ruan Yu humbly asked for advice again: “Why is this not easy to cause pain?”

“Because it’s lubricated.”

Ruan Yu had the two boxes in hand and frowned. She hesitantly asked in a careful manner with a smile: “Hehe, then is there something which is both larger and lubricated?”

When Ruan Yu arrived at home, she saw Xu Huaisong was eating instant noodles.

Ruan Yu paused, then said: “I bought boxed dinners. Why are you eating noodles now?”

He looked up at the big shopping bag in her hand and said: “I’m hungry.”

Ruan Yu: “Hum. Then, if you’re still hungry, you can eat some boxed dinner.” She moved her own boxed dinner next to him and sat down to eat with him. While she was eating, she would glance over at his pants.

Xu Huaisong noticed it and stopped eating his noodles. But when he looked over at her, she was concentrating on eating the braised meatballs. 

He then turned back to eat his noodles.

Ruan Yu, on the other hand, lost her appetite from nervousness. She closed the box lid after only eating a few bites.

Xu Huaisong took a glance at the full box of food but didn’t say anything.

Ruan Yu threw away the box and cleaned up. She said after a while: “I’ll go take a shower.”

Xu Huaisong replied “en.”

Ruan Yu walked into the bathroom. As she was taking a shower, she kept breathing deeply. When she came out, she saw Xu Huaisong sitting on the couch looking blankly into the air with both of his hands clenched together. It looked like he was pondering something and a little down.

Ruan Yu confusedly walked over: “What are you thinking of? Still bothered by what happened this afternoon?”

Xu Huaisong shook his head and said: “I’ll go to the US by myself tomorrow.”

Ruan Yu was surprised. It was understandable that he needed to go to the US since he still had work there. But why go without her?

Xu Huaisong continued to say: “It was because of Wei Jin that I decided to take you with me. Now he’s in custody and you don’t have to go through the trouble with me anymore.”

“But I didn’t decide to go with you because of Wei Jin.” Ruan Yu frowned and sat down next to him: “I just don’t want to be separated from you.”

Xu Huaisong looked over and there was a look of struggle in his eyes: “You don’t have to feel like you owe me, if you have a better choice originally.”

Ruan Yu was confused and noticed there was something wrong with him.

Indeed, Xu Huaisong seemed to be bothered by something long before this morning. But because Ruan Yu was occupied by her own thoughts, she didn’t have much of a reaction towards his attitude.

Now she was in a good mood but discovered that he was still down. Additionally, his mood didn’t seem to have anything to do with what happened in the afternoon.

She went to touch the back of his hand: “What’s wrong with you? Has anything happened lately?”

Xu Huaisong took a breath in: “It’s you who has something on your mind.”

Ruan Yu was taken aback and nodded: “Hum, yeah……”

Xu Huaisong gently moved her hand away from his: “That day you were going to say something to me but was interrupted by me. Now you can tell me.”

Xu Huaisong was talking about the night she came back from the meeting at Global Filming.

Before Ruan Yu started talking, she had already faintly sensed something from his move of distancing himself from her.

Then, she figured that he purposely interrupted her that night.

She asked: “You purposely said that night that you were going to go sleep early and had to go to Su City the next day, you just didn’t want to hear what I was trying to say to you?”

“Hrm.” Xu Huaisong casted down his eyes: “I didn’t have any business in Su City that day. After I went out that morning, I went for a walk along the Qiantang River.”

“......”

“Why?” Ruan Yu was dumbfounded. After the question, she tried to make sense of this whole thing in her mind.

Xu Huaisong deliberately avoided having the talk with her because he mistakenly thought she was going to tell him some bad news. Therefore, after he came back from Qiantang River that day, he hastily asked her whether she wanted to go to the US with him.

In reality, Wei Jin was just his excuse. He was afraid that she was going to leave him, therefore in a hurry to take her away.

But why would he mistakenly think she was going to leave him?

Before Ruan Yu got the answer from Xu Huaisong, she had already realized everything.

You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 57 Part 2

Then Ruan Yu told him: “Hrm, actually I’ve been thinking of asking why you have the time to blame yourself but don’t have the time to kiss me?”

The emotion Xu Huaisong had tried to suppress for the whole afternoon finally burst out from her question. He lowered his head to kiss her.

Ruan Yu was unprepared for his sudden move and stepped back a step. She pointed at the window behind them and said with a muffled voice: “Have, haven’t pulled the curtain……”

Xu Huaisong didn’t turn to close the troublesome blinds. He picked her up and took her into her room.

The room was dark. Ruan Yu reached over to turn on the lights but Xu Huaisong stopped her. Instead, he cupped her face and continued with the kiss.

Ruan Yu responded to his kiss and her hands around his waist moved all the way upwards until they circled around his neck.

Encouraged, Xu Huaisong deepened the kiss.

It seemed that Xu Huaisong was used to releasing his emotion in the darkness. But the darkness made Ruan Yu recall the frightening episode in the afternoon and the comment from that male voice “it was pure luck that he managed to avoid it.”

She also realized her wish to find a sense of security in intimacy.

It seemed that no matter how tightly they were close to each other, it still wasn’t enough for her to hold on to him, the man she almost lost this afternoon.

She became unsatisfied with a simple kiss and came closer and closer to his body.

Xu Huaisong in the meantime backed away a step.

Ruan Yu didn’t understand why and continued to move closer.

He backed away again.

She moved closer again.

Then there was a thud.

They fell onto the bed, with Ruan Yu’s body on top of Xu Huaisong’s.

It was the soft bed underneath Xu Huaisong.

What Ruan Yu felt was something as hard as metal.

“......” She’d discovered a secret.

“......” A secret was discovered.

The two of them looked at each other in the darkness while panting, but didn’t say anything to each other.

Yet some of the “changes” became larger and larger with the two of them pasted together. It stunned Ruan Yu and she was too nervous to gasp for breath.

She felt like there was a bumping heart on her tummy……

In the dead silence, Xu Huaisong held her shoulder and moved her away from him. While Ruan Yu was being moved, she accidentally grazed him because of her posture and Xu Huaisong hissed in a low voice.

He lightly coughed: “You go eat noodles. I’ll go take a shower.”

Ruan Yu grabbed his hand: “Err. Taking……taking a shower really works?”

“It works……” He had his back to her. “......”

Xu Huaisong turned to go into the bathroom, as if he was fleeing. Twenty minutes later, he came out of the bathroom but Ruan Yu wasn’t there.

She wasn’t in the living room nor the bedroom. Her cell phone was gone as well.

Xu Huaisong called her: “Where are you?”

Ruan Yu’s laughter came from the other end: “Instant noodles aren’t that appetizing. I’ve come out to buy something better to eat……”

“Just tell me if you want to eat something else. Why did you go out by yourself this late at night?” He went to the door while talking, getting ready to put on shoes: “Where are you? I’m going over.”

“There’s no need!” Ruan Yu interrupted him hastily: “I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me at home!”

Ruan Yu wasn’t good at lying. He could usually see through her whenever there was something on her mind.

Just like a few days ago, he could tell there was something wrong with Ruan Yu after her meeting at Global Filming.

Xu Huaisong stopped putting his shoes on. He cast his eyes down and the tone of his voice became a little indifferent: “En. Then, be careful.”

Ruan Yu patted her chest after hanging up the phone and breathed out a long breath. Then a voice came from behind and caught her off guard: “Young lady, why are you acting like a thief while buying the condoms?”

Ruan Yu jittered and turned to see a woman with heavy makeup look at her dubiously.
