Defeated By Love - Chapter 26

Xie Ruhe fell silent.

I could faintly hear the little movement of rustling hair, as if he was sitting up from the bed. After a few seconds, there was another croak of opening the curtains.

Later, Shunian heard Xie Ruhe whispering following her words: “Stars…”

Upon hearing this, Shunen suddenly realized that he had not even opened the curtain.

Let alone the stars, if it weren’t for seeing the current time, she wouldn’t even know if the sky outside was bright or not.

After opening the curtains, Xie Ruhe didn’t speak any more. This seems to mean that he listened to her and looked out expectantly, only to find that dark clouds covered the entire sky, and half of the star was invisible.

It feels like being grabbed by someone in the air, Shunen is a bit hot. She looked at the curtains, clutched the microphone, and crept to the past, lest he could hear her movements.

Shunen grabbed the corner of the curtain, carefully, little by little, trying to open the curtain to see if there were stars outside.

Before she could pull out a small slit, Xie Ruhe whispered: “It’s pretty.”

“…” Shunen immediately let go of her hand, relieved, did not look out, “Um… Did I wake you up?”

“Not asleep yet.”

Shunen didn’t believe it very much: “Then what are you doing?”

Xie Ruhe said: “Write a song.”

“Oh.” Shunen thought of something and asked him, “Why don’t you sing by yourself now?”

“I want to focus on creation.” Xie Ruhe’s voice sounded patient, calm and soft, “Moreover, some of the songs I wrote are not suitable for me to sing.”

“But the song “The Stars Are Falling”, I think it’s appropriate for you to sing it yourself.” Shunen sat back and talked to him with his knees, “Much better than I can sing.”

The version he sang is still in her mobile phone. Shunen has listened to it hundreds of times.

Still not tired of listening.

Xie Ruhe laughed, with a serious tone: “You sing well.”

He spoke more than usual today, but he didn’t ask her why she called so late.

Several times, when Shunen thought he would remain silent, he would open his mouth unexpectedly, as if he didn’t need to think at all, and said it without thinking, and he responded quickly.

Give her a feeling of being there anytime.

It seemed to be coming along the phone, turning into a breath, entwined intricately around her.

Shunen’s fear gradually dissipated.

She hesitated and didn’t want to disturb him anymore, just when she wanted to talk to him and then hang up. Xie Ruhe suddenly asked her a question: “Shunian, do you think there are ghosts in this world?”

“…” Shunian shrank into the quilt subconsciously, lowering her voice, as if she was whispering, “It must have been. Hasn’t anyone done experiments before. Will the body become lighter after death?”

“Yes?” Xie Ruhe’s voice was calm, “Isn’t that good.”

This sudden conclusion made Shunen extremely incomprehensible, but he still wanted to hear his reasoning.

“Where is it good?”

“That means people who want to meet but never see again.” Xie Ruhe paused, as if thinking of someone, “Maybe by your side all the time.”

“…” Shunen understood what he meant and asked in a low voice, “Are you talking about auntie?”

Xie Ruhe did not deny: “Yes.”

Shunen’s mood is a bit sour.

But Xie Ruhe’s mood didn’t sound bad, as if it didn’t sound like a sad thing. Perhaps he has never done such a thing before, and his tone is still a bit blunt: “If you think these are true, then believe it. But you don’t need to think it so scary, and don’t need to be afraid.”

After going around, Shunen finally reacted.

He was using another way to let her not be afraid.

He was comforting her.

“I see.” Shunen rubbed his eyes and whispered, “Thank you. And, I’m sorry, I called you in the middle of the night, I disturbed you.”

Probably smeared by the night, Xie Ruhe’s voice was a little stubborn: “I’m glad you can call me.”

Hearing this, Shunen took a breath.

At a loss for a while, and when he wanted to say something, Xie Ruhe spoke again, and his tone changed back to his usual calm and flat tone: “Nothing, don’t bother.”

The sentence just now seemed to be just an auditory hallucination of Shunen.

She licked her lips: “Then go to bed, it’s late.”

Xie Ruhe said, “Go to sleep.”

Saying “good night”, Shunen put the phone on the pillow next to him and waited for him to hang up. After waiting for tens of seconds, there is no tendency to hang up, and the call time is still getting longer.

Shunian leaned over to listen, but didn’t hear any sound from the other end.

I don’t know what he is doing.

Maybe she was waiting for her to hang up the phone like her.

She stared for a while, then suddenly reached out and hung up the phone.

Shunen put the phone on the bedside table, leaned in to close the curtains, and saw the clouded sky outside the window along the gap. She paused and buried herself in the quilt again. She closed her eyes, no more scary grimace appeared in her mind, and no trace of fear.

Soon, Shunen sat up without any sleepiness. She touched the position of her heart depressed.

Why is it still jumping so fast?

This recording studio was only rented for four days. Shunen’s dubbing experience is not too much. I don’t want to affect the progress. I have been lip-synching in my free time.

Moreover, most of the actors who came to dubbing did not have professional sound training. In order to be perfect, many lines need to be repeated repeatedly. Shunen didn’t want to let himself occupy too much time in the recording studio.

Ke Yiqing’s performance was recorded in the afternoon of the next day and did not come to the recording studio again.

Shunen didn’t take her words to heart, and devoted all of her attention to the use of voice to perform the role well, hoping that she would not hinder the actor herself.

The progress was also smoothly completed over time.

It was too early, Shunen left the recording studio in advance. Finally letting go of the big stone she was thinking about, she was feeling very relaxed now, thinking about buying some fruit nearby, and then looking for Xie Ruhe.

Thinking of the little wish Xie Ruhe said on his birthday, and thinking that he did not do anything after he agreed, Shunen felt a little guilty.

She didn’t want to rush over, and hesitated to send Xie Ruhe a WeChat.

It took a long time until Shunian was about to get downstairs at Xie Ruhe’s house before receiving his reply: 【Are you here? Just go up to the 17th floor when you arrive. 】

Seeing that number, Shunen guessed that he was probably doing rehabilitation exercises just now. She didn’t dare to go up to the seventeenth floor. The one who opened the door for her was the rehabilitation physician she knew.

Shunian followed him through the living room and walked to the room Xie Ruhe used for rehabilitation.

After entering the door, Shunen was stunned when he saw the scene inside.

The last time I saw him rehabilitate, it was on his birthday. At that time, he stood up completely relying on the support of the standing bed, and his lower limbs seemed to have no strength at all.

But this time, it was a month later.

Shunian saw Xie Ruhe standing in the middle of the rehabilitation parallel bars without relying on anything. For a while, she even thought that he was completely healed. During this period of time, she had very good results, and her efforts finally paid off.

I don’t know how long I have been training, Xie Ruhe’s face is sweaty, and his face is slightly red. Noting Shunen’s figure, he looked over. As if physically weak, the next moment, he reached out and grabbed the parallel bars next to him to stabilize himself.

The rehabilitation doctor walked over and said to him: “Let’s take a break.”

“Wait a minute.” Xie Ruhe shook his head, looked at Shunian, his breath was unstable, “Shunian.”

Shunen walked over and stood beside him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I can stand for a minute without holding things. If I can walk–” Xie Ruhe paused, “Three steps, three steps. Can you…”

He didn’t know what he was going to say. I just wanted to talk to her, realizing that he was making a request, and Xie Ruhe couldn’t say it.

After waiting for a long time, Shunen was at a loss: “Huh?”

Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes and whispered: “Nothing.”

The rehabilitation doctor next to him saw his thoughts, felt funny, and proactively said for him: “I just hope you will give him some encouragement.”

Unexpectedly, he would speak suddenly, Xie Ruhe frowned and looked over.

Shunen didn’t understand well, and asked dullly: “What encouragement?”

“It’s not a difficult thing.” The rehabilitation doctor said solemnly, as if to say a very ordinary thing, “A few words, or a hug is enough.”
