Defeated By Love - Chapter 20

Shunen looked at the candy in his hand and the hand still held by him. Then, he looked up at him again, and asked wonderingly: “What is the penalty for touching a hand?”

Xie Ruhe did not answer.

Shunen didn’t take the one in his hand, and didn’t continue to mention the matter just now. She retracted her hand, tore open the candy wrapper, and put the candy in her mouth: “I’ll eat that one for you.”

The two entered the house.

Xie Ruhe lowered his head, looked at his hand, and shook it. It seemed that the temperature of her hands still remained on it.

His mood suddenly became very good.

From the hallway into the living room.

Fang Wencheng was sitting on the sofa with a heavy face, as if he had experienced something painful. Noting that they were back, he immediately stood up, with a slightly ashamed smile.

Shunian greeted him.

Fang Wencheng also made a self-blame expression for Xie Ruhe, and grudgingly smiled at Shunian: “Miss Shu is here.”

Xie Ruhe suddenly said, “Fang Wencheng.”

Fang Wencheng immediately looked at him, very polite and correct: “Is there anything the teacher?”

Xie Ruhe raised the corners of his mouth, as if because there was another person present, his tone was not sharp, even a little gentle, with a faint smile: “The last time.”

“…” Fang Wencheng felt a cool back inexplicably, knowing that it was probably because of Xu Zeyuan’s affairs, “Okay, I understand.”

Perceiving the atmosphere between them, Shunen felt a little weird, but didn’t say much.

Soon, Fang Wencheng was ordered by Xie Ruhe several things, and then went out. When the time came, Shunian followed Xie Ruhe into the recording studio.

As soon as she enters the working state, Shunen will call Xie Ruhe “teacher” seriously, as if she does not want him to give her any special treatment. Occasionally, his tone was harder, and she would only think annoyed about what she had done badly.

During the time in the shed, they rarely talk about personal matters.

Only a few words are mentioned occasionally.

Shunen entered the booth, went to the microphone and put on the headphones. She adjusted her state and cleared her throat. The next moment, Xie Ruhe’s voice suddenly came from the headset: “Shunen.”

Shunen nodded: “Teacher, I’m ready.”

Xie Ruhe looked at her from the control room. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Listen to the accompaniment first.”

“Ok.”

There was a brisk and bright melody in my ears, mixed with Xie Ruhe’s voice, which was a little calm, as if just chatting with her: “Did you ask Fang Wencheng about me yesterday?”

“…” Shunen came out of the state instantly, a little embarrassed, “Assistant Fang told you?”

“Usually you will report to me.”

Shunian didn’t look at him, and lowered his voice: “Hmm…”

Xie Ruhe said, “Why don’t you just ask me?”

Shunen didn’t know how to explain it, and apologized in a small voice: “Sorry, I shouldn’t have done this.”

Xie Ruhe paused and asked in doubt: “Why do you apologize?”

“…” Didn’t he mean to blame her just like that?

“You can ask me directly.” Xie Ruhe looked serious, “There is no need to ask other people.”

Shunen nodded subconsciously: “Okay.”

It was quiet for a few seconds.

Xie Ruhe suddenly called her again: “Shunen.”

“what’s happenin?”

“I will stick to it.”

Shunian was stunned, and inexplicably remembered the words she said to Fang Wencheng yesterday-“You have to make him persevere.”

Following the transparent glass, Xie Ruhe sat right under the light. The thin eyelashes cast a dark shadow under the eyes, the peach eyes are slightly narrowed, and the black pupils are dark and bright.

He looked at her as if he was saying something important.

Shunen looked at him and curled his lips: “Okay.”

The sentence in Fang Wencheng’s mouth, “It takes only one or two hours to record a song,” which is totally inconsistent here in Shunen. It took her more than a week to finally finish recording the song.

On the last day, after recording the song, Shunian had dinner at Xie Ruhe’s house.

It was proposed by Fang Wencheng.

These days, Shunian usually leaves the shed at 7 o’clock in the evening, and then Fang Wencheng drove her home according to Xie Ruhe’s instructions. Shunian became familiar with him a bit, and lost the credits they had when they first met.

Shunian originally wanted to refuse.

But when she glanced at her, she suddenly noticed Xie Ruhe with his head down, and the back of him sitting alone at the dining table before, Shunen still responded.

The three had dinner together.

Shunian usually does not speak when eating. Xie Ruhe himself speaks less, and he is even more silent when eating. Only Fang Wencheng is left at the table and talks endlessly.

Originally, Xie Ruhe had been sullen because of one more person, and this person still didn’t know it, and kept giving himself a sense of existence. He stopped his chopsticks and asked softly: “Did you talk so much before?”

Fang Wencheng shut up immediately.

Shunian sat aside, watching Xie Ruhe routinely bullying Fang Wencheng, a little like to laugh.

After dinner, Shunen stayed no longer. Fang Wencheng opened the door first and went out. She followed and said goodbye to Xie Ruhe. Before she could close the door, Xie Ruhe suddenly called to her: “Shunen.”

Shunian looked back.

Xie Ruhe looked at her and said, “I have time to contact.”

After finishing the work, Shunen no longer has to run to Xie Ruhe’s house every day like now. It changed back to the way it was before, running to various recording studios in the city every day.

The voice actor does not have a fixed holiday. She planned to stay in the shed on New Year’s Day. But the cold that had completely healed earlier came out because of the deep winter.

Fortunately, Shunen didn’t have a job these days, so he just stayed at home.

On the evening of the 31st, Shunian went out, planning to buy some daily necessities in the supermarket.

There is a supermarket near the house, very close, about ten minutes walk past.

At this time, the sun hadn’t completely set, and half of the sky was dyed red, and the color was like splashing ink. There was sunlight on the body, but it was not warm at all. The temperature has dropped below ten degrees recently, and the cold air seems to be able to penetrate clothes, reaching the bone marrow.

Shunian gasped in vain, bowed his head and counted his steps boredly.

Before she had counted a hundred, Shunian heard someone call her name.

It was a woman, with a somewhat uncertain tone: “Is it Shunen?”

Shunian followed the voice and saw that there was not only one person, but about five or six, all of whom she knew. The person who just called her was Ruan Xitong who called her the other day.

Xu Zeyuan was also there, standing at the back with a boy.

Ruan Xitong seemed to have no memory of Shunen’s attitude on the phone, and smiled at her: “It’s really you? Long time no see, you haven’t changed much.”

Shunian nodded at her, not knowing what to say.

A girl next to me asked: “What are you going to do?”

Shunen said honestly: “Supermarket.”

“We have bought things now and are going to go to the monitor’s house to have hot pot.” Ruan Xitong invited her, “It’s the class reunion I called you before, so let’s come together.”

“No.” Shunen directly refused, “You guys have fun.”

“Really not coming?” Ruan Xitong was still persuading, “Not only are we going, everyone else has already been to the monitor’s house, we just came out to buy things…”

Before she said anything, Xu Zeyuan interrupted her suddenly: “She doesn’t want to go, so what do you always persuade, Ruan Xitong?”

“…”

A moment of coldness.

Shunian pursed her lips and repeated: “You guys have fun.”

Then continue to the direction of the supermarket.

Someone followed, and Shunian could still hear Ruan Xitong’s angry voice: “It wasn’t he who broke up by himself? Who is angry now! There is something wrong…”

Shunen walked a few steps again and turned around: “Are you okay?”

Xu Zeyuan raised the brim of his hat a bit and sighed, “I will send you there.”

Shunen said, “No.”

Xu Zeyuan insisted: “I will send you there.”

Shunen also insisted: “You go back.”

Xu Zeyuan stood there and did not move, just looking at her.

Shunian did not stand in a stalemate with him, and turned to continue walking.

Xu Zeyuan followed her and suddenly said, “Are you with Teacher Ahe?”

Shunian paused without answering.

Her reaction, as Xu Zeyuan meant it, was acquiescence. He also fell silent, and after a long time he said, “Shunen, I went to find you later.”

Xu Zeyuan really didn’t think about it. His breaking up at that time would have such a big impact on Shunen.

She was taken home by her parents, took a very long vacation, and never came to school. I also moved home, and never answered her phone calls. No one could contact her.

It’s like the world has evaporated.

Shunian wondered: “What are you looking for me for?”

Xu Zeyuan lowered his eyes: “Should I break up with you at that time.”

Hearing this, Shunian looked at him: “Are you guilty of this?”

“…”

“It’s not necessary.” Shunen didn’t care much. “To be together if you like it, and to separate if you don’t like it. It’s normal. This is your right, and you can mention it whenever you want.”

“…I don’t like it anymore.” Xu Zeyuan clenched his fists, suffocating his courage, “Shunen, I regret it.”

Xu Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he said the words. He only felt that his courage instantly filled his chest. He looked at Shunen and repeated nervously: “I regret it.”

The light beside it was dim, and the light bulb flickered. The cold wind swept the sand and whirled on the ground. The whistle of the car can be heard, the lovers in the distance are laughing, and the leaves on the trees are rustling.

The next moment, Shunen’s cell phone rang, she lowered her eyes, whispered “I will answer the call”, and then answered.

It is Xie Ruhe.

His tone was a little low and he didn’t seem to be in a good mood: “Shunen, are you free.”

Shunian answered, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Xie Ruhe was silent and said: “I am recovering well.”

Shunen said, “Well, that’s good.”

After being silent again, Xie Ruhe suddenly said, “Today is December 31.”

Shunianben wanted to say that he knew, but before he could say it, he suddenly stopped and remembered something.

December 31.

…Xie Ruhe’s birthday.

Later, Xie Ruhe asked her softly: “Do you want to eat cake.”

Shunian guiltyly squeezed his sleeves tightly, and didn’t know how to respond for a while, and then said after a long time, “Do you want to eat?”

“Ok.”

There is no joy or anger in his voice.

Shunen licked his lips and hesitated: “Should I buy it for you?”
