Defeated By Love - Chapter 18
Shunen didn’t expect him to care about other people’s opinions so much, and he didn’t know what to say, so he could only comfort him in a low voice: “She should be joking.”
Xie Ruhe looked at her with his eyes closed.
Shunian continued: “Don’t care too much.”
Xie Ruhe was silent for a few seconds, and he didn’t know why the conclusion became his mind.
But Xie Ruhe didn’t know how to explain: “…good.”
Shunen did not reply to Lin Qiqi either, put the phone back in his bag, and did not dare to take it out again. She did not continue to rest, and after relaxing her throat, she continued to practice again.
Until five o’clock in the afternoon, Shunen went into the studio and recorded a few times, and the effect was slightly better than before.
Xie Ruhe is still catching her bad things, straightforward and serious, and doesn’t know how to tactfully. But Shunian felt that his harsh approach was very good, at least he was really slowly filling in his shortcomings.
Because of the good results of the exercises, the study time is a bit longer than yesterday.
What interrupted them was a phone call from Fang Wencheng to Xie Ruhe.
Shunen entered the state, and when I looked at the time, I realized that it was past seven o’clock. Accompanied by the emptiness in the abdomen, the dryness in the throat. She picked up the water bottle and took a drink.
Shunian didn’t know what Fang Wencheng said.
After Xie Ruhe answered the call, it didn’t take long for him to tell her, “Let’s do this today.”
Shunian responded.
The two packed up and left the living room. At this time Fang Wencheng was in the living room, and freshly cooked dishes were placed on the dining table, with a faint aroma lingering around.
Following the window, Shunen saw the dark sky outside, and did not continue to delay time: “Then I will go back first. Thank you Mr. Ahe today.”
Xie Ruhe responded lowly.
Shunian said goodbye to the two of them and walked in the direction of the entrance.
Xie Ruhe did not speak, looking at the food on the table. Then, he raised his eyes to Fang Wencheng.
Noting the look in his eyes, Fang Wencheng became nervous. He didn’t understand what he wanted to express. He hesitated to guess: “Teacher, do you think it’s too late, let me send Miss Shunian back?”
“…” Xie Ruhe’s voice was low and light, “Do I mean that?”
Shunen stopped and only heard what Fang Wencheng said. She didn’t want to bother him, and turned her back and refused: “No, I’ll just go back by myself. Thank you.”
It happened to meet Xie Ruhe’s eyes.
Only one second.
He lowered his eyes, did not continue with the words just now, and said “Go send it” again, then turned the wheelchair towards the dining table.
Fang Wencheng nodded, and walked toward the hallway, and said to Shunian, “It’s getting late, I’ll send you back.”
Shunian glanced in Xie Ruhe’s direction.
Only his back can be seen in this direction, sitting alone at the huge dining table, very quiet. The bright white light is projected downward, adding a sense of desertedness and loneliness.
She withdrew her gaze, feeling a little blocked. Suddenly I wanted to ask Fang Wencheng something, and therefore he did not refuse.
“Okay, trouble you.”
The two went to the underground parking lot and got in the car.
Shunen fastened his seat belt and didn’t want to bother him too much: “Just send me to the subway station, and then I will take the subway back by myself.”
Fang Wencheng didn’t force it, and started the car: “Okay.”
In a quiet car, you can quietly hear the wind whistling outside. The two of them were unfamiliar, had no conversations, and had no common topics.
Shunen struggled for a long time, pondering the words in his heart, and then said after a long time: “Ms. Ahe doesn’t live with his family?”
Fang Wencheng nodded and said, “Yes, after returning from abroad, Shao… The teacher lived in his grandfather’s house for a while, and then moved out.”
“why?”
Fang Wencheng smiled and said casually: “The teacher’s work and rest are not regular, and he is worried that it will affect others.”
Shunen felt that he was a little nosy to ask these questions, but still couldn’t help but said: “Then he stays at home alone like this every day?”
Fang Wencheng acquiesced and said helplessly: “The teacher doesn’t like going out.”
Shunen lowered his head and looked a little in a trance: “This is not good.”
Kind of like her.
If it weren’t for going to the recording studio, it would have been the same way in the school.
She stayed alone in a small room every day, with an invisible chain on her body, which bound her inside. Thick curtains isolate the outside world, and the locked door rejects the outside world.
The time was consumed bit by bit in a muddled manner.
I always felt that as soon as I opened the door, something terrible would come, opening a mouth with sharp teeth, and attacking her frantically. So I would rather never see this wonderful world again than take this risk.
The longer you pass this kind of life, the courage will gradually wear off. Once you get out of that small room, you will feel uncomfortable and lose your ability to communicate with others.
Shunian thought for a while, and asked him something that he didn’t dare to presume in front of Xie Ruhe, with a cautious expression: “Then Mr. Ahe’s legs can get better?”
“Insist on rehabilitation…” Fang Wencheng was not so sure, “it should be possible.”
Shunen breathed a sigh of relief: “Then stick to it.”
Fang Wencheng didn’t know what to say, so he could only smile at her.
Shunen repeated it, serious and stubborn: “You have to make him persevere.”
Shunian didn’t go to the recording studio and went home directly.
Shunen took a bath, lay down on the bed with a golden voice, and continued to practice singing when he wanted to rest for a while. The hot water washed away the exhaustion, and the room was bright and dazzling, but it gave her an overwhelming sense of stability. She leaned sideways, curled up into a ball subconsciously, and fell asleep without knowing it.
I don’t know how long it took, when the cell phone beside me suddenly rang.
Shunen was awakened suddenly, his heart was blocked in panic, and the feeling of heart palpitations hit, making people out of breath, tears falling uncontrollably. She wiped away her tears and looked at the electric display.
It is her roommate Ruan Xitong from college.
At this time, it was only ten o’clock and she had slept for less than an hour.
Shunian was breathing calmly and barely answered the phone: “Hello?”
Ruan Xitong’s crisp voice came: “Shunen?”
“Ok.”
“I just called you on WeChat and didn’t return to me for a long time.” Ruan Xitong smiled, “I haven’t called you for a long time, and I am worried that you would have changed your number long ago.”
Shunen hummed again.
Ruan Xitong didn’t say much, and the next sentence explained the intention: “That’s it. We plan to have a classmate gathering at the end of the month, which is the 31st. Would you like to come over?”
Shunen lowered his eyes, didn’t think much, and lied directly: “I don’t have time.”
“Ah? On December 31st, there will be a New Year’s Day holiday, don’t you have time?” Ruan Xitong laughed, “Or do you want to date your boyfriend? It’s okay to bring it together.”
“…”
“It’s been a long time since I saw each other. Let’s take this opportunity to meet. We all miss you.” Speaking of this, Ruan Xitong suddenly mentioned another person, “By the way, do you know what Xu Zeyuan is doing?”
Shunen was silent, without saying a word.
“He recently went to a singing show and took the first place. Now it’s hot. On the 31st, he will also come.” Ruan Xitong sighed, “Why did you break up in the first place? How wonderful Xu Zeyuan, long It must be so beautiful, singing and listening, and he has chased you for a long time, he likes you very much…”
Shunen interrupted her with a straightforward emotion.
“I do not want to go.”
Ruan Xitong was stunned: “Huh?”
“I don’t want to go.” Shunen repeated, feeling really bad, with no residual patience, and he didn’t lose his temper. “No need to look for me again.”
After speaking, she hung up.
After that, Shunen opened the bedside table, took out a bottle of anti-anxiety medication from inside, opened the lid, and poured out a few pills. Soon, her movements stopped, remembering that she had stopped the medicine long ago, and stalemate for a while, putting the medicine back into the bottle.
Shunian got up, checked the doors and windows in the room again, and then sat on the carpet beside the bed.
Recalling the scene she had just dreamed of, Shunen clasped her arms and trembled all over. She buried her face in her arms, her tears fell straight, and there was a choking sound in her throat.
“do not be afraid……”
She murmured and repeated these three words.
Such sudden nightmares and emotions will always come once every once in a while.
When she woke up the next day, Shunen’s mood calmed down a bit, but she was still depressed. She boasted in the mirror that she didn’t take medicine last night, and then went out.
the other side.
After Xie Ruhe’s lunch, his mood was inexplicably bad, and his face was covered with haze. Thinking that Shunian would come over later, he flipped through the pack of cigarettes and headed for the balcony.
Fang Wencheng happened to come back from outside and said, “Master, Xu Zeyuan’s agent contacted me and said that I hope you can mention Xu Zeyuan’s new album and write a song.”
Hearing this name, Xie Ruhe paused and looked at him.
“Xu Zeyuan is a male singer who has become popular recently.” Fang Wencheng said, “The heat is very high, I think I can write, and it will be good for your reputation…”
Xie Ruhe interrupted him: “What is it called?”
“…Hmm, eh?”
“What is your name.”
“Xu Zeyuan.” Fang Wencheng patiently said, “The Xu next to the couple, shiny Ze, New Year’s Day. Tell me that they are very sincere and will visit you in person later.”
The atmosphere is quiet for a while.
Xie Ruhe repeated word by word: “Xu, Ze, Yuan…”
Soon, he chuckled lightly, his voice indifferent, and chuckled lightly: “Does any 18-line singer now think he can sing my song?”
Not knowing how he touched his mold again, Fang Wencheng immediately fell silent.
Xie Ruhe’s eyes were cold: “Are you here?”
Fang Wencheng dare not say anything.
“Mute?”
“It should be soon…”
Shunian never thought that he would meet Xu Zeyuan again outside the community where Xie Ruhe lived. It was an unexpected reunion, even though she didn’t take it too seriously many times.
The security guard recognized her and opened the door directly, wanting her to enter.
Xu Zeyuan’s appearance has not changed much, except for a little makeup on his face and his hair dyed light brown, it still looks like before. Seeing Shunen, he was also stunned, and stood there for a few seconds in a daze.
Seeing that Shunian was about to enter the community, he hesitated and said, “Shunian?”
Hearing this, Shunian turned her head and nodded at him.
Xu Zeyuan asked hesitantly: “Do you live here?”
Before Shunian had time to speak, Xie Ruhe’s voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Shunen.”
Following the voice, Shunen looked over.
Seeing the person standing next to her, Xie Ruhe pursed his lips, his jaw tightened: “Come here.”
Shunen was taken aback for a while, and walked in his direction: “Why did you get down?”
Xu Zeyuan stood there, and the agent next to him reminded him: “That is Mr. Ahe.”
When he recovered, he had already been dragged into the community by his agent.
Xu Zeyuan reluctantly withdrew his surprise and walked over to stand in front of Xie Ruhe, no longer focusing on Shunen, and politely said hello: “Ahe teacher, hello.”
Xie Ruhe didn’t lift his eyes, and said to Shunian, “Let’s go.”
Xu Zeyuan thought he hadn’t heard it, and added: “Teacher, I am—”
Xie Ruhe raised his head suddenly and interrupted him: “What’s your name.”
Xu Zeyuan smiled in a good temper, and was about to introduce himself.
Xie Ruhe opened his mouth again, his eyes cold, with hostility and sarcasm that could not be concealed.
“What does it have to do with me.”
