MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 7 Episode 38

“You don’t have a boyfriend yet. You can ask your boyfriend in the future,” Debra said.

“I know what Debra is talking about. But I’m not sure if what she says is right,” Rainy said. “Just tell me.” Lydia was still holding her plank position as her forehead broke out into a sweat. She was beginning to struggle but her voice stayed steady.

Michelle thought to herself, ‘I’ll ask Lydia later.’

“Nope. You know what? I’m going to sleep. Good night, roommates.”

After Debra fell asleep, Rainy also lay down, and the sound in the dormitory simmered down. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Michelle was lost in thought.

“What are you thinking about?” Lydia sat up and patted the edge of her bed.

Michelle leaned forward and put her hands down. She blinked and asked, “Lydia, do you think I should change my WeChat nickname?”

“You can change it if you want.”

“I want to change it to Small Michelle. I’ve just tried to measure my boobs and they are really small.” Michelle even stretched out her hand and gestured about her size. Lydia’s face was almost blood-red.

Lydia calmed down soon and said, “Don’t change it. That’s no reason to change your nickname. Besides, Debra also said that when you have a boyfriend, your boobs may develop.

Then you’re going to have to change it back.” “I don’t think it’s that much of an issue.”

Michelle changed her nickname regardless of what her friends said. “Fine.” Lydia thought for a while and mumbled to herself in a low voice, “No one is going to ask you why you changed your nickname anyway.”

“Fine.” Lydia thought for a while and mumbled to herself in a low voice, “No one is going to ask you why you changed your nickname anyway.” Michelle didn’t hear what she said though. She stared at her WeChat nickname. “I hope my boobs can develop and I can change my nickname again.”

“But you have to find a boyfriend first.”

“Well, it’s going to take some time. I haven’t met someone as handsome as Leon yet.” Michelle lay on her side of the bed and pulled out a rabbit doll to cuddle. “Lydia, I’m going to sleep. You should go to sleep after you shower. Good night.”

“Good night.” Lydia drew the curtains around her bed for her and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she returned, Michelle was already asleep.

It was completely dark aside from the light that seeped in from the dorm room opposite theirs.

It was so silent that a pin drop could be heard. Only their long breaths could be heard.

At half past six in the morning, the dorm room was greeted by a bright sky and the first alarm clock of the day. It rang at the head of Lydia’s bed.

The alarm rang twice before Lydia woke up and turned it off.

After a while, another alarm clock rang.

Lydia got up early to go and get a seat in the library. Nobody else was awake yet and they’d only begin to stir around half past seven usually. So whose alarm was it?

Did Debra or Rainy have to get up early?

However, to her surprise, the alarm clock seemed to be coming from Michelle’s bed.

As soon as her feet hit the floor, she heard the sound of the curtains being drawn back. Michelle’s head popped out.

Lydia was startled.

She had never thought it would be Michelle.

“Why did you get up so early?” Lydia was so shocked but she spoke in a whisper to avoid waking up her other roommates.

Michelle groaned sleepily. She rubbed her eyes and yawned again.

Yawning was so infectious that Lydia yawned as well.

Michelle slowly opened her eyes and looked around in a daze.

‘Eh?

I thought I heard someone talking to me just now.’

“Down here,” Lydia gently called out to her. Michelle looked down and said with a smile, “Good morning, Lydia.”

“Shh! Keep your voice down. They are still sleeping. Don’t wake them up.” Lydia shushed her.

“Okay.” Michelle covered her mouth, nodded obediently, and got out of bed quietly.

Lydia pointed to the balcony and walked over. As soon as she turned around, she saw Michelle tiptoeing around as if she was a thief.

She seemed to be more cautious than a thief to be honest.

Lydia was lost for words.

The door of the balcony insulated the sound well enough that they wouldn’t wake anyone up.
After she shut the door, Michelle could finally speak. “Good morning, Lydia.”

“Good morning. Why did you get up so early today?” Lydia asked

The sun wasn’t beaming down yet and the sky was still covered in a morning fog. When Michelle smiled, her eyebrows along with her eyes curved into crescents as she revealed her white teeth.

“I’m going to take some breakfast to Leon. He isn’t much of a chef and I don’t think there are any ingredients in the fridge. I have to buy something for him.”

“You are so nice to him,” Lydia praised sincerely and left.

This was the first time that Michelle got up so early. She was usually just as lazy as the rest of her roommates and slept in just like them.

She approached Rainy’s bed and heard her mumble something inaudible in her sleep.

She heard rustling and a couple groans coming from Debra’s bed as well.

She was quite curious to see what the dormitory was like in the morning and she was quite surprised at how peaceful it was.

Michelle was quite proud of herself. What would happen if Debra and Rainy found out that she was up early?

She snickered and carelessly stepped away. A dull dong sounded through the quiet room as she accidentally kicked the chair next to her.

Michelle froze.

Staring at the falling chair, she felt frustrated.

The next second, Debra drew back the curtains and asked sleepily, “What’s wrong? Who’s bumping things? Are you okay?”

With a guilty look, Michelle said, “It’s me. I’m fine. I’m sorry. I knocked your chair and woke you up.”

Debra yawned, poked her head out of the curtains and looked down below.

“Michelle?” Debra looked at her in disbelief. She wondered if her eyes were deceiving her and pinched herself to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming.

Her eyes widened. “Michelle!”

“Oh my God! Is it that late?” Debra hurriedly jumped out of her bed without checking the time or looking out at the balcony.

“Get up, get up, Rainy. Hurry up! We have classes soon. We are going to be late!” Debra raised her hand and patted Rainy’s bed. Rainy woke up as well.

She was also astonished at the sight of Michelle and leaped out of bed.

“How did it get so late? I set my alarm though. Did my phone die? It shouldn’t have!”

“We have no time to think about that.”

“How could I have overslept? It doesn’t make sense.
I can’t figure it out.”

Standing aside, Michelle could do nothing but watch the two people in their mad rush.

She didn’t think she’d cause such chaos.

Rainy suddenly realized the sky looked odd and the atmosphere didn’t seem right. She then decided to check her phone.

“It’s only six fifty.”

Debra stopped and turned around. “Six fifty?”

“Yes.”

The two of them looked at Michelle in shock.

“I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t have a chance.” Michelle pursed her lips.

Rainy was still at a loss.

Debra was no better.

The two climbed back into bed, with Rainy falling asleep immediately. Debra lay down wearily and closed her eyes. “Are you driven by the power of love?”

Michelle could only smile sheepishly.
