Defeated By Love - Chapter 22

Shunen didn’t hear him clearly, thinking he thought she didn’t agree. She felt that his wish was a small thing, it was easy to realize, and there was nothing to refuse: “Is it this?”

“Ok.”

“Where do you usually recover? Go to the hospital?”

Xie Ruhe said without changing his face, “At home.”

Shunen nodded, thought about it, and said to him: “I usually go to the recording studio, and I can’t go there often to accompany you. But I will pass by when I have time.”

“Great.”

“If you want someone to accompany you, you can find Assistant Fang.” Shunian felt that he might not want to do everything by himself, and seriously advised him, “He is a very good person.”

“…” Xie Ruhe didn’t say a word.

Shunian got used to his silent manner, and chatted with him casually: “Do you not spend your birthday with your grandfather today?”

“I went to have dinner with him at noon, and went to see my mother together.” Xie Ruhe repeated what he had done today, “I want to recover tonight, so I didn’t stay with him anymore.”

Hearing Xie Ruhe mentioned his mother, Shunian paused and didn’t say this again: “Where is Assistant Fang? Shall we go to look for him?”

Xie Ruhe lazily said: “I will let him over.”

The two found a place on the side of the road to stop.

Shunian stood next to him, watching him look down at his phone, and contacted Fang Wencheng. She rubbed the toes of her shoes against the floor boringly, making a rustling noise.

“Xie Ruhe, are you twenty…” Shunian said, “Twenty-three years old?”

“Ok.”

“So fast.” Shunen was a little happy, “Then we have known each other for almost ten years.”

Hearing this, Xie Ruhe raised his head: “It has been ten years.”

“It’s been so long.” Together, Shunen mentioned the previous things along the way, “I still remember that my father used to come back from vacation and brought me a small guitar from the city.”

“It’s Ukulele.”

“Yes. Then I don’t know how to play, it’s all you playing. I also knew that your music cell is so good at that time.” Shunen recalled, “You seemed to be able to write your own songs at that time, and I felt You will be great in the future.”

Because of her tone, Xie Ruhe’s expression seemed a bit unnatural: “Neither.”

Shunen’s mood improved: “Also, at that time, I liked to imitate the lines in the animation. I told you that I think these behind-the-scenes staff are so powerful that they can interpret a character on paper so three-dimensionally. .”

“…”

“And now I am also in this industry.” Shunian thought for a while, “We seem to be doing what we like, so life seems not so bad.”

Xie Ruhe listened to her and responded in a low voice. Since he knew her, she has always been positive and positive, bringing positive energy to others.

Shunen started to be serious again, like an old man: “You have to work harder to recover, everything will be fine.”

Xie Ruhe obeyed: “I know.”

After a short series of stimulating conversations, he fell silent again.

Not far away, Fang Wencheng drove over.

Xie Ruhe was about to remind her when she was ready to get in the car. Shunen lowered his head, his emotions fell inexplicably, and suddenly he said: “Actually, I am also sick, and I am also trying to treat the disease.”

Xie Ruhe was taken aback and turned to look at her: “What’s the disease?”

Shunen curled her lips to reveal a small dimple, the emotion just now seemed to be Xie Ruhe’s illusion. Then she sucked her nose vigorously: “I have a cold.”

“…”

After Fang Wencheng sent them to the Rhine River Garden, he did not get off the car with them, and started the car again, not knowing what to do.

Shunian pushed Xie Ruhe upstairs.

Entering the door, only a small light was lit in the mysterious light.

Shunen turned on, changed slippers, and turned on the light in the living room. She took the cake box in Xie Ruhe’s hand, watched him change his shoes, and asked, “When will you start rehabilitation tonight?”

Xie Ruhe paused and raised his head: “After eating the cake.”

Shunian thought for a while: “Then you have to eat something to fill your stomach.”

Then, she carried the big cake box into the living room: “What shall we eat tonight?”

Xie Ruhe followed her and asked calmly, “Is there no one on the table?”

Hearing this, Shunian looked in the direction of the dining table. It was empty, except for a transparent kettle with water. There was nothing else: “No.”

Xie Ruhe licked his lips without changing his face and said, “I’ll call and ask.”

Shunian had noticed before that Xie Ruhe’s daily dinner was cooked by the housekeeper. It is to clean up the house first, and then start cooking.

She looked around.

Probably because Xie Ruhe didn’t often stay in the living room, he was generally clean and tidy. But there is only half a cup of coffee left on the coffee table, the scissors placed on the TV cabinet, and the sloppy pillows on the sofa, it is obvious that the aunty has not come over today.

Shunian hesitated, and felt that if the auntie came over to do it now, it would be too late to eat. She whispered: “Why do I do something for you?”

Xie Ruhe immediately raised his head and looked at her: “Will you do it?”

“I live by myself, of course I have to know it.” Shunen scratched his head, “I don’t know how to cook or anything, but I can cook noodles for you…but it’s definitely not as delicious as my aunt’s cook.”

Xie Ruhe looked good: “Then eat noodles.”

Shunen took off his coat and put it on the sofa: “Then you wait a moment.”

Just a few steps, Shunian heard the sound of wheels rolling behind her, she turned her head, looked at Xie Ruhe who was following, and blinked, “Are you going to the kitchen too?”

Xie Ruhe said seriously, “You don’t know where to put things.”

Shunen nodded and said nothing.

The kitchen has a large space with a modern and simple style. The countertop is right-angled and there is a space on the side for the refrigerator. The items are placed neatly and orderly, and the countertop is clean and reflective.

Shunian was unfamiliar with this place, so he couldn’t start, looked at the cabinet and asked him.

“Where is the soup pot?”

Xie Ruhe was silent, and pointed to one of the cabinets: “It should be here.”

Shunen opened the cabinet, looked at the row of plates inside, and said hesitantly: “It doesn’t seem to be here.”

“That might be because the auntie put it in another cabinet, you can look for it.”

Shunen gave a cry, without much doubt, obediently flipped through other cabinets, and quickly found the soup pot.

She filled some water in and put the soup pot on the induction cooker. After finishing this series of things, Shunen opened the refrigerator, took out the dried noodles from the side, and asked him, “Is it good to cook this?”

Xie Ruhe looked at her, the curves of her facial features were tenderly dyed by the light.

“Great.”

Shunen was entangled in how much to put: “Does Assistant Fang eat?”

Xie Ruhe frowned: “He doesn’t eat.”

“Oh, he is not coming back, is he?”

“No.”

Shunen didn’t ask any more, but pondered, and put the weight of the two of them. She looked at the seasonings on the side and fell into distress: “I usually buy the seasoning bag directly and put it in. I haven’t made the soup base myself.”

“…”

“It’s similar to the kind in instant noodles.” Shunian gestured to him, “You can buy it alone.”

Xie Ruhe thought about it: “There seems to be instant noodles.”

“Then you can’t use the instant noodles either.” Shunen was stunned, feeling a little funny, “Then there will be no seasoning bag next time I eat it, how do I eat it?”

“It’s okay.” Xie Ruhe didn’t care too much, “I don’t eat instant noodles, it’s all Fang Wencheng’s.”

“…”

In the end, Shunen still did not accept his suggestion. She checked it online and carefully adjusted the soup base according to what others said.

Shunian made a shredded pork noodle with mushrooms using the ingredients in the refrigerator, and added an egg to Xie Ruhe’s bowl. She was not sure whether it was good or not, and she was still a little nervous.

When the two of them sat down at the table, Fang Wencheng happened to be back.

Holding a white bag in his hand, he smelled the scent, and he looked over: “You guys eat noodles?”

Fang Wencheng swallowed, touched his hungry stomach, and wanted to ask if he could belong to him. The next moment, Xie Ruhe opened his mouth and told him calmly: “You have eaten.”

“…” Fang Wencheng didn’t react for a while, “What have I eaten…”

Soon, Fang Wencheng paused, enduring the urge to hide his face and cry bitterly, and followed Xie Ruhe’s words, “…well, I have eaten it.”

Shunen didn’t pay attention to the movement between the two of them, and took a bite of the noodles. The taste was better than expected. She relaxed and ate the noodles in small bites. Before she was halfway through the meal, she suddenly noticed Xie Ruhe, who was already empty.

Shunen looked up and said, “Are you still hungry?”

Xie Ruhe licked his lips: “Yeah.”

“Oh.” Shunen said, “then wait a minute and eat cake later.”

“…”

After Shunen finished eating, Fang Wencheng helped take out the cake from the refrigerator and put in candles. He is still a little uncomfortable with such a scene. In previous years, Xie Ruhe had no interest in cakes, let alone blowing candles.

There is no difference between birthdays and usual times. They are all quietly waiting in the house until the arrival of zero.

Shunian said to Xie Ruhe, “You make a wish.”

“desire?”

“Yes, blow the candle after making a wish.”

Xie Ruhe looked down at the fire on the cake, his voice low and clear: “I hope this will happen next year.”

Shunen said, “It won’t work if I say it.”

Hearing this, Xie Ruhe raised his head, his eyes reflected light, and the light suddenly disappeared.

“Will it work if you don’t talk?”

Fang Wencheng echoed: “Anyway, it’s better than speaking out.”

Xie Ruhe lowered his head thoughtfully, and after a ten-second pause, he suddenly blew out the candle.

After eating the cake, the two sat for a while.

When the rehabilitation doctor came, Xie Ruhe was almost digested.

Shunian accompanied Xie Ruhe to rehabilitation.

Xie Ruhe’s family lives on the 16th floor, one family on the first floor. But Shunian only now knew that Xie Ruhe also belonged to the 17th floor, and he usually rehabilitated upstairs.

The rehabilitation doctor trained him in accordance with the plan and Xie Ruhe’s recovery process.

Shunen didn’t know what he was going to do, so he watched it nearby.

There was something similar to a bed. The doctor asked Xie Ruhe to lie down. A blue strap fixed his lower limbs. Through control, the bed could move vertically.

The doctor said: “You can do 90-degree standing exercises today.”

This standing exercise is gradual, starting at 30 degrees and rising 10 degrees every few weeks until it is fully vertical. What Xie Ruhe did today is vertical standing exercises.

After Xie Ruhe was fixed and stood upright.

Shunian was the first time he saw him stand up completely since the reunion. She walked over, feeling a little miraculous: “When I saw you sitting before, I thought you were quite tall, do you have—” She thought about it, and guessed: “One meter eight?”

The design of this bed has wheels at the bottom, about ten centimeters from the ground.

Shunian see Xie Ruhe had to look up.

Xie Ruhe said calmly, “One Eighty Five.”

“When I met you, it seemed to be only 1.5 meters, and then you were a head taller than me.” Shunen recalled, “Then you should have been 1.5 meters.”

Xie Ruhe said: “Well, almost.”

“You are 15 centimeters longer.” As he said, Shunian gestured to his head and said seriously, “I have grown ten centimeters, and now I am 1.5 meters and 59…”

Speaking of this, Shunian paused and changed his words vaguely: “It’s one meter six.”

Hearing this, Xie Ruhe scanned her up and down without speaking.

Shunian didn’t understand the meaning of his eyes, and was a little vain, afraid that he would puncture him and lie. But she felt that it was impossible for him to pass visual inspection, and found that she was indeed less than 1.6 meters.

Shunian forcefully let go.

After thinking about it, Xie Ruhe shook his head with a cold voice.

“should not.”

Shunen: “What?”

Xie Ruhe said: “There is no one meter six.”

“…”
