You’re My Belated Happiness

Ruan Yu woke up in shock.

She vaguely remembered that she had a dream, dreaming that she was in a sea of ​​fire with a crack under her feet. The crack was facing a white and icy world. Xu Huaisong stood there, reached out and rubbed her face, and asked her: "Can you like it again? Me once?"

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

What kind of dream is more weird than Liao Zhai Zhiyi, she, she... she is shocked!

Ruan Yu stayed on the bed for a long time, until the broken memories were spliced ​​together, she realized that she who was supposed to be on the sofa had arrived here, but now it was dawn.

So here comes the problem.

She looked around and didn't notice any popularity. She changed her clothes, tiptoed and got off the bed. She tossed around and found no slippers, so she stepped barefoot on the carpet and quietly moved out a crack of the door to look out.

Suddenly heard a "meow".

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

It seems to be hungry.

Ruan Yu forgot the purpose of coming out. He squatted down to rub the cat like a conditioned reflex. He stretched out his hand but paused: "I just had a fever, but I still don't touch you." Don’t you understand Chinese? ImeanthatI’msick.Emmmmm, whereisyour......"

She hasn't used English for many years, "your" for a long time, without thinking of how "master" should express, she suspiciously continued: "... yourdaddy?"

"Here." She suddenly ran into a pair of shoes in her sight.

Ruan Yu became stiff, 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 so helpless.

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

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

Ruan Yu's breath choked.

No need to ask. No need to ask how she got back to bed.

The slippers are by the sofa, so what else is possible?

Xu Huaisong bent over and put the slippers in front of her, then walked away to get the ear thermometer, and said, "Come for 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 attractive possibilities.

Of course, Xu Huaisong didn't emphasize that it was a "hugging". He took the ear thermometer and pressed it in her ear, saw "37.0", turned his head and wrote it down on the sticky note with a pen.

Ruan Yu was stunned, and looked up 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 squatted and said, "This...what is this?"

It wasn't a deliberate question, but it was so surprised that it blurted out.

"Research report on the efficacy of antipyretics for reducing fever," Xu Huaisong made a turn in her stunned expression, staring at her and said, "Do you believe it?"

Of course not.

Ruan Yugan swallowed, avoiding his sight, stroked his bangs and sat down on the sofa, lowered his head, picked up a custard bag from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth in shock.

She thought the atmosphere was a little weird inexplicably. It's kind of like that absurd dream she had.

In silence, the little orange cat came over "meow meow" to grab her breakfast.

She was about to break a piece and give it to it, just watch Xu Huaisong knelt down and picked it up: "Your breakfast is not here." Then she took it to the kitchen counter.

After chewing a custard bag, she had nothing to say and asked, "What is it called?"

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

Is this raising a cat as a girlfriend?

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

Oh yes. She remembered the unclear question again.

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

Xu Huaisong's gaze swept over, and his eyes went from the original indifference to a little smile, and said, "He also has Judy, Amy, and Nalani."

"So many..." Ruan Yu smiled, and continued to gnaw the custard bag. After a while, he heard Xu Huaisong's phone ringing.

He puts on the voice call and speaks English.

Ruan Yu's English hearing was severely degraded. After listening for a long time, he only heard a few broken words.

Xu Huaisong found her dazed, and after hanging up, he explained: "Water leaks in the house."

"Then what to do?"

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

Ruan Yu took a sip of water in silence.

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

She speeded up her breakfast, gobbled it up, and got up and said, "Lawyer Xu, thank you for your breakfast. I'm going to disturb you all night. I'm leaving now."

Xu Huaisong put down the cat: "Wait five minutes for me to deal with the family affairs and send it to you."

"No need," she waved her hand, "I won't burn anymore, just take a taxi by myself." After speaking, she turned around and went to the bedroom to pick up her bag.

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-to-reflective head popping up on his computer screen, and an enthusiastic sentence: "Hey! Hanson!"

A little black man with white teeth.

Xu Huaisong looked back at her, looked at the camera calmly, and said: "Whereisthewaterleakingfr?"

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

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

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

Ruan Yu smiled "Oh..."

Xu Huaisong hung up the video without saying a word to the computer, then picked up a pile of materials on the table: "Go."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Ruan Yu asked behind, "Driving with fatigue is very dangerous."

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

"I've taken a rest." Xu Huaisong handed her the pile of materials in his hand, "You look through it. If you are interested, stop by now."

Ruan Yu took it in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

"Checking."

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 surprised, but he quickly returned to nature, lowered his hand and smiled with Xu Huaisong and said, "What a coincidence, I was about to knock on the door."

In almost an instant, Ruan Yu could distinguish the voice.

At this moment, in a clean and neat professional attire, standing outside the door was the woman who was talking to Xu Huaisong in the withdrawn voice message.

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

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

"Hello there."

"Hello there."

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

In terms of business etiquette, Xu Huai-song's order of introduction seems to have reversed the relationship between relatives and sparseness?

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 asked for anti-fever medicine in the middle of the night."

Xu Huaisong did not accept or refuse, turning around and asking, "Do you want to bring some medicine back?"

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

He nodded to Lu Shenglan.

Lu Shenglan's eyes smiled: "Then you are busy, I'll go back to my room to work."

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

Ruan Yu was a little surprised. He was stunned and quickly thanked him, and then listened to him say: "Not far from here, go and see if you are not tired."

Indeed, the house should be changed as soon as possible. She is in good physical condition and can't live up to the good intentions of the two lawyers to choose a house for her in the middle of the night, so she agreed.

Xu Huai-song's standards are quite demanding, and the selection of the remaining rooms is basically to the point where only the last step is required for confirmation.

The first one is a small high-rise with eleven floors. The facilities and environment are very good. The price-performance ratio of the house is surprisingly high in this area of ​​Hangzhou. The only suspicious thing is that the male landlord behaved coldly when he saw the two of them. 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 the landlord's enthusiasm reassuring?"

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

Ruan Yu leaned over to read his text messages and found that Xu Huaisong was negotiating with the landlord in her tone-a "single woman", and the landlord at that time even sent emoji expressions with enthusiasm.

She nodded like garlic, with an expression of "you are right", and the next second she saw a new message from the landlord popped up on his phone screen: "Miss, my house is rented to a single woman. I'm afraid The thing is that young couples like you play with impeccable meaning. Didn’t you tell me last night that you meet the conditions?”

It can be seen that worrying about the young couple doing damage to the firewood is just an excuse for the male landlord to hide their shame.

Xu Huaisong sneered silently, typing: "Sorry, I just got out of the order in the early morning."

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

Xu Huaisong: "Thank you, next life."

Ruan Yu: "..."

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

Suddenly talked a lot, and suddenly treated her strangely.

She was silent, raised her head solemnly, and stared at him: "Lawyer Xu, take the liberty to ask."

"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 began to slowly learn to play straight. Is he going to break his mind today?

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

Xu Huaisong: "..."
