You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 25

Views:

Ruan Yu woke up in shock.

She vaguely remembered that she had a dream. She dreamed that she was in a sea of flames. There was a crack under her feet. The other side of the crack was a vast expanse of ice and snow. Standing there, Xu Huaisong reached out to caress her face and asked her, "Can you like it more?" Me once?"

With a bang in her head, she got out of the bed.

What kind of dream is this weirder than Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio? She, she, she... is stupefied!

Ruan Yu sat on the bed for a long time, until the broken memories were spliced together. She realized that she was here when she was supposed to be on the sofa, but now it was dawn.

So, here comes the problem.

She looked around, but she didn't notice any popularity. After changing her clothes, she tiptoed out of bed, but she couldn't find any slippers, so she went out barefoot on the carpet, and quietly moved a crack in the door to look outside.

Suddenly I heard a "meow".

She lowered her head and saw Xu Huaisong's orange cat nestled in front of the door, looking up at her eagerly.

It seems to be hungry.

Ruan Yu forgot the purpose of his coming out, and squatted down to rub the cat like a conditioned reflex, but stopped when he stretched out his hand: "I just got rid of the fever, so I don't want to touch you anymore." After speaking, he changed his mind, "Oh, are you Is it because I don’t understand Chinese? I mean that I’m sick.Emmmmm, where is your…”

She has not used English for many years, "your" for a long time, did not think of how to express "master", and continued suspiciously: "... your daddy?"

"Here." A pair of shoes suddenly came into her sight.

Ruan Yu froze, stood up slowly, and saw Xu Huaisong standing in front of him with a glass of water in one hand and a plate in the other, looking a little helpless.

She felt that he seemed to restrain himself and did not question her "Are you crazy?"

Seeing her bare feet, Xu Huaisong put water and breakfast on the coffee table, went to the sofa to get her slippers.

Ruan Yu's breath was suffocated.

Don't ask. No need to ask how she got back to bed.

The slippers are next to the sofa, so what else is possible

Xu Huaisong bent down and put the slippers in front of her, then walked away to get an ear thermometer, saying, "Come and have breakfast."

She put on her slippers and said, "Lawyer Xu, I caused you trouble last night. Thank you for carrying me in."

Writers are different. They use precise words, and a single word "carry" eliminates all the possibilities of beauty.

Of course, Xu Huaisong didn't want to emphasize that it was "hug". He pressed an ear thermometer next to her ear, and when he saw "37.0", he turned his head and wrote it down on a sticky note.

Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment, then leaned over to look, and found a dense row of numbers on the paper: 3:00-38.2, 3:30-37.8, 4:00-37.5, 4:30-37.3...

She stammered, "This... what is this?"

It's not that he asked knowingly, but he was too surprised, so he blurted out like this.

"The research report on the antipyretic effect of antipyretics," Xu Huaisong added a twist to her dumbfounded expression, staring at her and said, "Do you believe it?"

Of course not.

Ruan Yu swallowed dryly, avoiding his sight, stroked his bangs and sat down on the sofa, lowered his head and picked up a custard bun on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth to suppress his shock.

She felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably weird. Kind of like that ridiculous dream she had.

In the silence, the little orange cat came over with a "meow meow meow", trying to grab the breakfast in her hand.

She was about to break off a piece for it, when Xu Huaisong knelt down and picked it up: "Your breakfast is not here." He said and led it to the kitchen counter.

After chewing a custard bun, she had nothing to say and asked, "What's it called?"

Xu Huaisong was leaning on the kitchen counter to feed the cat, turned around and said, "Tiffany."

Is this raising a cat as a girlfriend

Seeing Ruan Yu choked, he explained: "I didn't take it."

Oh yes. She remembered the question she hadn't figured out again.

She thought for a while and asked, "You brought the cat to China, isn't the cat owner boring?"

Xu Huaisong glanced over, his eyes changed from the original indifference to smiles, and said, "He still has Judy, Amy, and Nalani."

"So much..." Ruan Yu smiled dryly, and continued to gnaw on the custard buns. After a while, he heard Xu Huaisong's cell phone ring.

He answered the voice call, speaking in English.

Ruan Yu's English hearing was severely degraded. After listening "open and wide" for a long time, he could only hear a few broken words.

Xu Huaisong noticed her confusion, and after hanging up, explained: "There is a water leak in the house."

"Then what to do?"

"It's okay, there are people at home."

Ruan Yu took a sip of water silently.

The conjecture was confirmed, Xu Huaisong was indeed not single. Then she also had that kind of dream that violated morality...

She speeded up her breakfast, got up after wolfing it down and said, "Lawyer Xu, thank you for your breakfast. I've bothered you all night. I'm leaving first."

Xu Huaisong put down the cat: "Wait for me for five minutes, and I'll send you off after finishing the family affairs."

"No, no, no," she waved her hand, "I won't burn it, just take a taxi by myself." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and went to the bedroom to get her bag, as if she was running away.

Xu Huaisong did not stop him, turned on the computer outside, and dialed a video.

As soon as Ruan Yu came out, he caught a glimpse of a black and reflective head jumping out of his computer screen, and a passionate sentence: "Hey! Hanson!"

A black boy with very white teeth.

Xu Huaisong glanced back at her, turned to the camera in a calm manner, and said slowly, "Where is the water leaking fr?"

This time Ruan Yu heard clearly. He was asking where the water was leaking from.

So, what does he mean by "someone in the family"

Xu Huaisong turned back and said, "My roommate."

Ruan Yu smiled "hehe" and said, "Oh..."

Xu Huaisong hung up the video without saying a word to the computer, then picked up a stack of documents on the table: "Let's go."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Ruan Yu asked after him, "Driving while tired is very dangerous."

She is really a good citizen with a strong sense of traffic rules.

"I've had a rest." Xu Huaisong handed her the stack of documents in his hand, "Look through it, if you're interested, go and have a look now."

Ruan Yu took it in a daze: "What are you looking at?"

"Take a look."

As he spoke, he opened the door.

Ruan Yu raised his head and saw a tall woman standing outside the door with one hand raised in the air.

She was taken aback.

The other party seemed to be a little stunned, but he quickly returned to his natural state. He lowered his hand and smiled at Xu Huaisong, "Coincidentally, I was just about to knock on the door."

Almost instantly, Ruan Yu recognized the voice.

At the moment, she was dressed in a clean business attire, and standing outside the door was the woman who spoke to Xu Huaisong in the withdrawn voice message.

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Ruan Yu.

Xu Huaisong took a step aside and made a gesture to introduce to her: "Ruan Yu." Then he said to Ruan Yu, "My colleague in the United States, Lu Shenglan, Ms. Lu."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two nodded to each other, and a subtle sense of strangeness flashed in Ruan Yu's heart.

According to business etiquette, the order of Xu Huaisong's introduction seems to have reversed the relationship

Xu Huaisong didn't seem to realize this, and asked Lu Shenglan calmly, "What's the matter?"

She picked up a medical paper bag in her hand and shook it: "I heard from the front desk that you ordered antipyretics in the middle of the night."

Xu Huaisong neither accepted nor refused, turned around and asked, "Do you want to bring some medicine back?"

"No, thank you." Ruan Yu waved his hand.

He nodded towards Lu Shenglan.

Lu Shenglan rolled his eyes and smiled: "Then you are busy, I will go back to my room to work."

Xu Huaisong nodded again, closed the door and walked to the elevator, while explaining to Ruan Yu the information in her hand: "Moving is necessary, I contacted Liu Mao last night and asked him to recommend a few rooms, and temporarily selected these two. set."

Ruan Yu was a little surprised, he was taken aback and quickly thanked him, and then heard him say: "It's not far from here, go and have a look if you're not tired."

The house really should be changed as soon as possible. She is in good health now, and she can't live up to the kindness of the two lawyers who chose a house for her in the middle of the night, so she agreed.

Xu Huaisong's standards were quite strict, and he carefully selected the remaining houses, basically to the point where he only needed to make the last step of confirmation.

The first one is a small high-rise on the 11th floor. The facilities and environment are very good. The price/performance ratio of the house is surprisingly high in this area of Hangzhou. The only thing that makes people have doubts is that the male landlord is very cold when he sees them. It's the same as who owed him a black gold card.

Ruan Yu didn't care about this, but Xu Huaisong just turned around politely and told her to leave.

After going downstairs, she asked strangely: "I think the house is pretty good. Isn't it reassuring that the landlord is not enthusiastic?"

Xu Huai raised his eyebrows in praise: "You didn't notice it because I was there?" He slid the phone away to show her, "The landlord didn't have this attitude last night."

Ruan Yu leaned over to read his text message records, and found that Xu Huaisong was negotiating with the landlord in her tone-a "single woman" throughout the whole process, and the landlord at that time was so enthusiastic that he even sent an emoji expression.

She nodded her head with a "you're right" expression on her face, and the next second she saw a new message from the landlord popping up on the screen of his mobile phone: "Miss, my house is rented to single women, I'm afraid What’s more, a young couple like you play without distinction, didn’t you tell me last night that you are qualified?”

It can be seen that worrying about the young couple burning firewood and causing damage is just an excuse for the male landlord to hide his shame.

Xu Huaisong sneered silently, and typed: "I'm sorry, I just left the order in the early morning."

Landlord: "Then when will you come to rent again when you are single, I will keep it for you."

Xu Huaisong: "Thank you, next life."

Ruan Yu: "..."

From last night until now, why has Xu Huaisong been so strange

He talked a lot all of a sudden, and suddenly treated her surprisingly well.

She was silent, raised her head solemnly, and stared at him: "Lawyer Xu, may I ask you a question."

"What?"

"You... Are you..." She paused, seeming a little hard to say, "I mean, is it possible for you to..."

Xu Huaisong's eyes flickered for a moment, and his heart beat violently.

He only made up his mind last night and started to learn how to hit the straight ball slowly. He is going to break his mind today

Just when his heart was beating to the critical point of bursting, Ruan Yu closed his eyes and continued: "... was pierced by a human soul?"

Xu Huaisong: "..."
