Defeated By Love - Chapter 16
Shunian couldn’t respond for a while, and asked, “Do you want to record the song earlier?”
Xie Ruhe felt a little uncomfortable when he said that, and was also taken aback at this time. Looking at Shunian’s clear eyes, he was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes, not knowing what other reason to find: “…Um.”
Shunen directly agreed: “About what time?”
Xie Ruhe asked: “Are you free tomorrow morning?”
“Yes.” Shunen said honestly, “I usually don’t have to go to the recording studio in the morning.”
“Then what time do you usually wake up.”
“Not necessarily, it usually wakes up at noon…” When it came to this, Shunen stopped and wondered, “You don’t need to ask me this. When do you want to start recording, I can come on time.”
Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, as if he didn’t hear the words she said later, before saying nothing else: “That’s one o’clock in the afternoon.”
“…”
After Shunian left, Xie Ruhe returned home and returned home.
It was the meal, the housekeeping aunt and Fang Wencheng were there, and the dinner was not ready yet. Fang Wencheng was sitting on the sofa. Hearing the movement of the door, he immediately stood up and pulled out a smile: “Master, are you back?”
Xie Ruhe raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his expression faint and silent.
Although Ji Xinghuai said, if Xie Ruhe is angry, he can put the blame on him. But before the last moment, Fang Wencheng still dare not do such a thing.
He took a deep breath, and said what he had said about the whole afternoon in one breath, the official said stiffly.
“Sorry, master, it’s like this. Because I really couldn’t find a suitable singer, and seeing Huajing’s deadline getting closer and closer, I was really anxious. Under such an anxious situation, I suddenly had an idea. , Thinking that you once praised Miss Shunian for singing very well, so I made this move.”
Fang Wencheng’s tone was flattering: “I hope you will forgive me, Master.”
Xie Ruhe looked at him and repeated two words calmly: “The next move?”
Fang Wencheng didn’t know where he touched his nerves again, his scalp numb, and his mouth changed instantly.
“Countermeasures! Yes, countermeasures!”
But Xie Ruhe didn’t get angry as he thought. He just moved the wheelchair casually and poured a glass of water next to the coffee table: “Tell me in advance.”
Fang Wencheng hurriedly said: “Definitely.”
Xie Ruhe picked up the water cup and suddenly remembered something. He moved for a while and murmured like repetition: “You did something wrong.”
Fang Wencheng just breathed a sigh of relief, and he was on guard for these words: “Yes, I, I made a mistake.”
The next moment, Xie Ruhe raised his head with a thoughtful expression: “Then you can reflect on it.”
Fang Wencheng was at a loss: “Huh?”
Xie Ruhe looked at him, his eyes dull and quiet.
Fang Wencheng reacted and put on a remorse: “Okay, I will go back and reflect.”
Xie Ruhe said, “It’s here.”
“…” Fang Wencheng couldn’t figure out what the big man was thinking, and reluctantly said, “Are you here?”
“Yeah.” Xie Ruhe said blankly, “Let me see how you reflect.”
“…”
In fact, when Shunian went to Huang Lizhi, there was nothing to do. The main reason was that it was too early, and she didn’t know what to do at home alone, so she simply went to the recording studio.
Shunen didn’t enter the studio, watching them recording inside. She didn’t stay too late, thinking about going home to practice singing, and she left the recording studio about ten o’clock.
Shunian returned home and entered the room after washing up. With her half-wet hair scattered, she sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, opened a music software on the desktop, and then adjusted the position of the microphone.
Transfer the audio that Xie Ruhe sent to her to the computer.
Shunian planned to sing while recording, and then compare the differences by himself. Otherwise, she would sing this alone, and she would not be able to tell where her problem was.
She played the full version first.
There was a long and brisk music in the quiet room.
After a while, Shunen heard the lyrics repeated today, and was inexplicably lost, remembering what Xie Ruhe said today.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, with his bangs drooping down, and his dense eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes. Then he said naturally to her: “I sing it again, and you sing it again.”
…
After meeting again, Xie Ruhe blatantly followed Shunian, and when she was pierced by her, he directly pretended to be deaf and dumb. Shunian found this feeling very familiar.
Because in the past, this kind of thing happened many times between the two.
It was almost a day at that time.
From home to school, and from school to home.
Xie Ruhe followed her every day, and followed her undisguisedly. She would not dodge when she found him, so he stood quietly.
At first Shunen thought it was a coincidence, and didn’t think much about it. But the more times she noticed something was wrong, she frowned and asked him: “What do you always do with me?”
Xie Ruhe didn’t keep silent, and he looked cold and taken for granted: “No.”
“what?”
“I didn’t follow you.”
Shunen was prone to believe other people’s words, and was immediately taken away by Xie Ruhe’s words, only thinking that he had misunderstood him again, and stammered an apology to him.
This quiet “smart contract road” continued for several days.
Shunen couldn’t help himself, holding the schoolbag strap in his hand, looking back, he was in a strange mood, and said inexplicably, “Aren’t you really following me?”
Xie Ruhe didn’t feel the panic of being caught, and said lightly: “I’m going this way, too.”
This time Shunen couldn’t bear it anymore, with a sullen face, piercing him unhappily: “Your family can’t stop here, why are you walking this way.”
Xie Ruhe didn’t speak any more, as if she thought her question was silly and didn’t bother to take care of it.
Shunian continued to ask afterwards, but he pretended not to hear it.
Shunian felt that Xie Ruhe was lying. He can’t live here, and he has nothing to do, why does he always take this road? And just as he walked to the path in front of her house, he turned and left.
She didn’t understand it, and she had a feeling of sorrow that she couldn’t get rid of this little tail.
Still a little tail that doesn’t like to talk.
The two seemed to be struggling, and they were in a stalemate.
Shunian no longer took the initiative to talk to him, taking Xie Ruhe behind him as air. And he has always been taciturn, Shunen does not speak, nor does he take the initiative to speak.
In this way, they stayed together peacefully for a week, keeping a distance of three meters peacefully.
until one day.
On the way home from school, Shunian was stopped by an unknown uncle and asked her to come over and help. She looked suspicious, stood still and asked in a low voice, “What can I do for you?”
Shunian felt a little weird.
It was early April, and the weather was still very cold, and the cold air was in the bone. The surrounding trees had all fallen leaves, they were bare, sluggish and dim.
The bearded, sloppy man in front of him, wrapped in a large knee-length trench coat. It seemed to be extremely cold, pulling on the zipper of the clothes with both hands, wrapping himself tightly, but his calves were bare, pulling a pair of dirty sneakers.
The smile was malicious and dark.
Shunen stepped back subconsciously.
The next moment, the man suddenly moved, and opened the windbreaker, revealing his naked lower body. The eyes were shining, and the perversion was disgusting: “Help uncle see if it’s big!”
Her head was blank, and she didn’t know how to react at that moment. There was no time to scream, and the throat seemed to be pinched, and the fear was fermenting.
Shunen’s legs became weak, and he took another two steps back, trying to escape.
Shunen hasn’t moved yet.
The scene in front of me was suddenly obscured by a layer of cloth. It was a piece of clothing that was thrown over. It was overwhelmed with a faint soapy smell, and it was warm and warm.
Shunen squeezed his clothes tightly, unable to respond completely, his eyes closed and opened subconsciously. Along the gaps in the clothes, you can see Xie Ruhe’s sneakers walking by quickly.
Holding her breath, she tore off the clothes on her head.
At this moment, the man in front of him wailed and screamed. His body is small and thin, with prominent bones, section by section, like spare ribs. Half a head shorter than Xie Ruhe.
Xie Ruhe’s expression was gloomy and hostile, and he tugged at the man’s windbreaker without saying a word.
The man didn’t know what he wanted to do, struggling hard, but he couldn’t match his strength. In the process of resisting, the bones rattled, rubbing against the wall next to him, bleeding streaks.
As if extremely angry, Xie Ruhe raised his foot and kicked him with all his strength.
After pulling off the trench coat, the man wore only a close-fitting short sleeve, and his lower body was bare. His body was extremely weak, he fell directly to the ground, and he moved back in fear.
Xie Ruhe knelt down, his eyes were cold, and the broken ice was like a sharp blade. Afterwards, he lowered his eyes, his beautiful face looked particularly terrifying at the moment, and said softly: “What do you want to see?”
“…”
“May I help you see?”
The man shed tears, shook his head, cold and afraid, and trembled all over his body: “No, no…no, no, I’m leaving…Don’t fight…Don’t fight…”
Xie Ruhe stood up, ignored him, turned to Shunian’s direction.
Shunian watched the whole process of his beating, his expression stunned, but the sense of fear disappeared inexplicably. Seeing Xie Ruhe walking towards her, she didn’t know what to say, squeezing the clothes in her hands.
Xie Ruhe took the initiative to grab her schoolbag and walked in another direction.
As if nothing happened just now, Xie Ruhe returned to his usual appearance, but he took the initiative to say: “Take this path back today.”
“Ah-oh.”
Stepping out of this trail, Xie Ruhe loosened her schoolbag, threw the windbreaker that had just been torn from the man into the trash can, and followed her as before.
Shunen was not like him. He could treat this incident as a gust of wind, and it would pass after it. She stopped, took a few steps back hesitantly, and walked to Xie Ruhe’s side: “Are you okay?”
Xie Ruhe hummed lazily.
“Just.” Shunen licked his lips and asked him, “Why are you pulling his clothes?”
Xie Ruhe twitched his mouth: “Isn’t he trying to let others see?”
“…” Shunen was really frightened, afraid that there would be someone else as miserable as her, swallowed, and asked timidly, “Will he scare others?”
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe looked at her and said indifferently: “What do others have to do with me.”
Shuniandang didn’t hear it, and said to himself: “He is not wearing any clothes. The police uncle will see him in a while, so he should be arrested. He should be illegal in this way.”
Xie Ruhe did not respond to her words.
“What if I haven’t been caught.” As he said, Shunen’s eyes were red, and his voice was nasal, “Will he remember me, and then come to trouble me later…”
“…”
“This is a bad guy, we have to call the police.” Shunen was young and had not encountered any major incidents. Her tense mood relaxed at this moment, she began to cry, choked and said, “Wh, how is this, how can there be such a person, oh, oh, I want to tell my dad…”
Xie Ruhe was stunned when she never thought that she could cry when she talked to herself.
“What to do…” Shunen choked, as if the sky was falling. “What if he comes to trouble me in the future? I’m so short and I can’t beat him… He even scared me on purpose… I didn’t do anything. , Why did he treat me like this…”
Xie Ruhe was sore by her crying that she said perfunctorily: “No.”
“You are not afraid of yourself, so you said no!” Shunen cried and lost his temper. “You are not afraid of him if you can beat him. If I can beat him, what would I be afraid of! How can there be someone like you!”
“…”
Shunen lowered his head, feeling that his temper was too bad, so he stopped talking and endured crying. The eyes were a little droopy by nature, and the poor looked like a puppy thrown away by the owner.
Xie Ruhe pursed his lips, and compromised and called her: “Shunen.”
Shunen’s voice still trembled: “What are you doing.”
“I will send you back.”
Shunen looked at him, but didn’t react: “What.”
Xie Ruhe also looked at her, did not explain what she said just now, and said the rest of the words lightly: “Tomorrow morning, I will wait for you at your door and accompany you to school.”
There was still a big tear in her eyes, and she whispered: “Are you going to protect me?”
Xie Ruhe was noncommittal.
Shunian wiped away the tears with his sleeves. At this moment, he felt that he was the best person in the world. After a few seconds, she said dullly: “But why are you helping me like this? I have no money to give you. Then how can I repay you.”
Xie Ruhe didn’t put the topic on this, and continued to move forward: “Let’s go.”
“I don’t have money…” Shunian thought for a while, flipping through the small pocket of his schoolbag, “but I have a lot of candy.”
“…”
Like a kid, Shunen handed him a candy and said carefully: “Then you will send me home from now on, and I will give you candy every day, OK?”
Xie Ruhe was silent, staring at the candy in her hand, then raised his eyelids and looked at her quietly.
Shunian looked nervous, lest he would regret it.
When she was a little anxious while waiting, Xie Ruhe looked away and responded softly: “Okay.”
Since Chen Hanzheng had said something like that to Shunian during lunch that time, the relationship between the two of them had become alienated. Even with He Xiaoying who laughed at her at that time, Shunian didn’t talk to her much.
She has always held grudges and felt that their behavior was particularly hurtful.
Because he didn’t take the initiative to talk to others, Shunen’s presence in the class was getting lower and lower.
Although she didn’t care much about it.
The encounter with pervert became an opportunity for the relationship between Shunen and Xie Ruhe to get better.
Shunian’s popularity in the class is fair, but she has no particularly close friends, and she does many things alone. This is the first time she goes to school with others every day, and then ends school together.
Not alone, nor like Xie Ruhe before. Although they were together, they didn’t talk like a stranger.
As the two spend more time together, the relationship becomes more and more familiar.
Although most of the time, Shunen was happily talking about what happened to him today, Xie Ruhe listened to her in silence. Occasionally heard her complaining because he did not speak, he would reluctantly say a few more——
“Get up and answer questions.”
“I didn’t sleep, I attended class.”
“Listen.”
“There is no skipping class.”
The second year of junior high ended quickly like this.
After the summer vacation, the school organized a placement test after the third grade. According to the ranking, I got a key class.
Shunen was assigned to the key class.
To her surprise, Xie Ruhe also entered the exam, finishing at the bottom.
The two often stayed together, and the rumors that the two of them were dating, and various rumors of Xie Ruhe’s unrequited love in school gradually spread.
Shunian couldn’t understand why they could think about so many things at such a young age. She once mentioned it to Xie Ruhe, and then nothing happened.
after that.
The music exam every semester is coming again.
Shunen had been mocked for four semesters in succession, feeling extremely desperate. During those days, her mood was very depressed, and she sighed at every turn.
Xie Ruhe found something wrong with her: “What’s wrong with you?”
Shunian raised her eyes to look at him, and suddenly remembered that the relationship between the two was very good. She sat up straight and said to him, “Xie Ruhe, we are teaming up for music exams, okay?”
I don’t know why she mentioned this, Xie Ruhe felt a little strange, but didn’t ask much.
“Great.”
“I have to confess to you,” Shunen said bitterly, “I can’t sing very well.”
“I know.” Xie Ruhe didn’t comfort her, speaking very bluntly, “You sang in front of me the other day.”
“…”
“I don’t want to sing.” Shunen was very unhappy when he was shocked, “Everyone laughed at me.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ruhe was taken aback: “Are you unhappy?”
“Of course I’m not happy.” Shunen was frustrated, scared at the thought of that scene, “It’s not funny, why laugh at me… It’s not what I want to go off-tune.”
Xie Ruhe was quiet for a few seconds, then asked: “What are you going to sing?”
Shunian didn’t know what to sing, so he bulged his cheeks: “I want to find an easy one.”
Xie Ruhe thought for a while: “Sing “Chongerfei”? Have you heard it?”
Shunen nodded.
Xie Ruhe said: “Then you sing it to me.”
Shunian was not afraid to lose face in front of him and sang it obediently.
Xie Ruhe said silently: “When is the exam?”
“This Thursday.”
“…We practice.”
Just practiced for a few days.
After singing several times with Shunian, Xie Ruhe changed his strategy: “I sing it once, and you sing it again.”
But the effect is not great, Shunen will not go out of tune when singing along. But once she sings by herself, her tune will run away, and she runs the same tune every time.
Shunen was extremely frustrated.
In the few classes before the music exam, Shunen dragged Xie Ruhe to a small open space nearby and said nervously, “Let’s practice again.”
Xie Ruhe again sang with Shunian: “The dark sky is drooping/the bright stars follow…”
“The dark sky hangs down/the bright stars follow…”
“Chongerfei/Chongerfei…”
“Chongerfei/Chongerfei…”
Xie Ruhe’s voice paused and sang it again: “Chongerfei…”
Shunen’s voice became stumbling: “Insects, insects fly…”
“Yes, that’s it, you sing it yourself.”
Shunian sang it again obediently.
When she raised her eyes again, she found that Xie Ruhe turned her face away, with the back of her hand against her lips, as if smiling. Shunian was stunned, angry, and threw the lyrics in his hand at him: “Are you laughing at me.”
Xie Ruhe shook his head: “No, what you sang is right.”
With his approval, Shunian was more confident, although he was skeptical, and went on stage to sing with him and sang the classic children’s song “Chongerfei” together.
Then, there was still laughter that she expected.
But after stepping down, what surprised Shunian was–
Both of them are out of tune.
From the same table, it’s amazing that they run exactly the same tune.
…
…
The next afternoon, Shunen arrived outside Xie Ruhe’s community at one o’clock on time. The security took the initiative to open the door to let her in. After a few steps, he saw Fang Wen pick her up.
He seemed to have not slept well yesterday, with a bluish gray around his eyes.
No spirit.
Shunian greeted him: “Assistant Fang.”
Fang Wencheng also greeted her and said with a smile: “Let’s go up there, Teacher Ahe is waiting.”
Shunian responded.
“Mr. Ahe’s emotions have been a bit repetitive recently.” Fang Wencheng kindly reminded her, “Please pay attention. Except for recording songs, try to mention as little as possible.”
“Ok.”
After saying this, Fang Wencheng began to apologize to her: “Also, I was really sorry yesterday, but I didn’t take the initiative to tell Teacher Ahe about this matter. It affected you.”
Shunen said, “It’s okay.”
“Because of this yesterday, Mr. Ahe asked me to reflect on it.” Fang Wencheng helplessly, “Isn’t this just writing a review? I just wanted to go back and write it, but he let me write it on the spot.
“…”
Fang Wencheng sighed: “I thought it was serious enough to be fired, and I didn’t sleep well all night.”
Shunen comforted him stiffly: “It should not be so serious.”
The two entered Xie Ruhe’s house, Shunian changed his shoes at the entrance, and stood there waiting for Fang Wencheng. But he didn’t seem to mean to come in, and waved his hand at her: “I have something to do. Just go in directly.”
Shunen nodded: “Goodbye.”
Shunian walked in and found Xie Ruhe in the living room, with his head down at this time, writing something on the coffee table. She came closer and called him seriously: “Master Ahe.”
Hearing her voice, Xie Ruhe subconsciously moved his hand to the side and looked up at her.
“Have you gone back to practice singing?”
Shunen answered seriously: “I have practiced.”
The next moment, she glanced casually, and suddenly noticed that Xie Ruhe moved aside on the paper with two words written on it seriously-“review”.
Shunian thought that Fang Wencheng should give him the share.
Looking further down, I found that the signature was–
“Xie Ruhe”.
