Defeated By Love - Chapter 31

Hearing this, Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes and recalled the appearance of Shunen again. He didn’t dare to believe his guess, muttering like to himself: “Psychology…”

“But it might be her family’s book.” Fang Wencheng just reported it without thinking too much. “It’s also possible that Shunen is interested in this aspect, or which role he played before is related to psychology.”

Xie Ruhe suddenly remembered his birthday.

Shunian’s words suddenly came out after talking to him a bunch of positive words.

She was still very positive, but her emotions dropped in an instant, as if it was something that would make her feel very unhappy.

——”Actually, I am also sick and I am trying to treat the disease.”

And after he asked, she hid that emotion again, as if she didn’t want him to know. She said to him indifferently: “I have a cold.”

Xie Ruhe believed it, and asked Fang Wencheng to buy her a large bag of cold medicine.

But it doesn’t seem to be that way.

What really made her unhappy should be a more serious matter. It was something that made her feel uncomfortable, didn’t want to tell anyone, and never showed the slightest sign in front of him.

Xie Ruhe’s Adam’s apple rolled, and suddenly he said, “Turn around.”

After returning home, Shunen checked the doors and windows as usual, and went straight into the room. She curled up in the bottom of the bed with no expression, fixedly looking in a certain direction, as if in a daze.

Her mind was in a mess, and hundreds of pictures emerged.

I don’t know how long it took, Shunen said softly.

“I don’t want to go out anymore.”

At the same time, the doorbell rang at the entrance.

Shunen raised his head dullly, his eyes were hollow, and there was no slightest movement to open the door.

But the door bell kept on, ringing every few seconds for more than ten minutes. Shunen’s eyelashes moved, her face pale and bloodless, she sat up blankly.

The doorbell is still ringing.

Shunian returned to his mind, and his sanity gradually returned. She breathed calmly, walked slowly to the door, and looked warily along the cat’s eyes.

The corridor lighting is very bright, and the warm yellow tones soften the man’s face. He didn’t seem to be impatient for this long time of no response, just a little more worried.

Shunian paused, and immediately opened the door: “Why are you here?”

Shunmin’s house is a staircase room.

Even if you only need to climb nine steps, Shunian knew that it was extremely difficult for Xie Ruhe. He was not in a wheelchair, supported on crutches with both hands, and Fang Wencheng was not seen beside him.

Forgetting the time when the doorbell rang, Xie Ruhe has been standing here for more than ten minutes.

It had already passed twelve o’clock, and the temperature at night seemed to be freezing, turning into countless invisible blades, cutting the skin, bringing extremely clear coolness.

Seeing her opening the door, Xie Ruhe’s eyebrows stretched out, seeming to be relieved. He stared at Shunen’s face and said softly, “I just don’t think I can just go back like that.”

Shunian pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to support him: “You come in first.”

Xie Ruhe leaned on crutches, walked in small steps, and slowly moved to the sofa.

Settling him down, Shunian took the kettle to the water dispenser to fill the water, and then sat next to him. She held the kettle and put it on the coffee table to boil. The sound of the hot water kettle was loud, echoing in the quiet living room.

Neither of them spoke.

Soon, the kettle made a click.

Xie Ruhe first held the handle of the pot and poured water into the two cups in front of him with his eyes down.

Shunen was very quiet, staring blankly at the transparent water flowing from the mouth of the pot, exuding a white mist, swaying in the air, and disappearing for a moment.

Xie Ruhe licked his lips and asked, “What happened to you today.”

Shunian didn’t look at him, his eyes drooped, and he said quietly, “Can I not say.”

Xie Ruhe said: “Yes.”

“…” Shunian played with the thread on the corners of her clothes, like a kid who did something wrong, so she didn’t dare to look up, avoiding embarrassingly finding something for herself.

“Are you ready to go to bed?” Xie Ruhe is not good at chatting, and said bluntly, “I think you don’t seem to be happy, just come up and see you, nothing is wrong.”

Shunen’s voice was dull: “Yeah.”

Xie Ruhe asked in a low voice, “Are you still not happy?”

Shunen’s hand movement stopped, suddenly raised his head, and asked softly: “Do you think I did something wrong just now?”

Xie Ruhe was stunned: “What.”

“I was just now.” Shunen mentioned the matter again, her tone was a little strenuous, with a shallow nasal tone, “I was downstairs, pretending not to hear. You saw it, I pretended not to hear.”

Xie Ruhe lowered her head and found that her eyes were red and she was crying. He opened his mouth and lost his words in an instant. He didn’t know what to say or why this matter had such a big impact on her.

“you……”

“I always felt that.” Shunen wiped her tears with her palms, her emotions could not be restrained. Treating him as a tree hole, she stumbled and said, “You must not do bad things in this life, and you must not stand by when you see others in trouble.”

“…”

“Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you do a bad thing, no matter what, you will be retributed to yourself in the end.” Shunen endured crying, “If you keep thinking of yourself as a bystander, you will be in danger for others. However, he is unwilling to help. In the future, when he encounters dangerous things, he will only be treated coldly by others.”

Xie Ruhe didn’t know what happened, he hesitantly raised his hand and patted her on the back.

“I’ve always thought this way, and I’ve always done it like this.” Shunen whimpered, “I obviously helped so many people. I’ve never done anything bad, why no one wants to help me…”

“…”

“My dad is obviously so good, such a good person, and passed away so early. He saved so many people in his life, but got such a fate.” Shunen murmured, “Good people will never get rewarded. Yes. Then why should I help others, why should I feel guilty.”

Xie Ruhe took a deep breath and held her hand: “Shunian, what are you talking about.”

“If someone was really victimized there just now, I pretended not to hear, is she likely to be dead now?” Shunen said in a low voice, “but it has nothing to do with me, and I might get hurt after passing by. I can’t let you The past…”

Xie Ruhe interrupted her seriously: “But no one was hurt, it was you who thought wrong.”

“But if there is.”

“You feel scared, so you said it as if you heard it wrong.” Xie Ruhe said seriously, “but later, if you never hear anything over there, you won’t just walk away like this.”

“…”

“If you dare not go there, you will also go to the security guard and ask the security guard to come and see.” Xie Ruhe patiently reasoned with her, “Because of that voice and your own words, you imagined a situation that would not happen. You think you will treat yourself as if you didn’t see it and take all the consequences that didn’t happen. This is wrong.”

Shunen didn’t shed any more tears, as if listening to him.

Xie Ruhe said: “Don’t think about this anymore.”

Shunen rubbed his eyes, and said in a huff: “Did you think I was stupid before?”

Xie Ruhe paused: “No.”

“I know that people think I’m stupid and I’m talking strange.” Shunen said, “The idea is very strange, what I do is meaningless, and it makes people think that I’m nosy.”

“…”

“I sometimes think about it, as if it is really meaningless.”

Xie Ruhe pulled a paper towel and put it in her hand: “No?”

Shunen was silent and wiped tears with a tissue.

He suddenly asked: “What about me.”

Shunen looked up at him, eyes still red: “What.”

Xie Ruhe’s eyes were dark but bright, as if stars flashed in them: “Do you think the things you did to me before are meaningless?”

Shunen sniffed and whispered, “What did I do to you.”

“Many, very good things.” Xie Ruhe stared at her. “Others find it meaningless, but this is something that will make the person grateful and remember for a lifetime.”

“…”

“I don’t know what bad things you have encountered. But at least, what you did was not wrong, and the fault was other people. You don’t have to feel guilty, and don’t be unhappy about it.”

Shunian looked at him in a daze, and his breathing became lighter.

Thinking of her previous words, Xie Ruhe asked her: “Do you feel scared?”

“Yeah.” Shunen lowered his eyes and said honestly, “I feel a little scared when I think about going out every day.”

“…” Xie Ruhe looked at her, his eyes darkened.

Shunen didn’t notice. After a long while, she asked dullly, “What should I do if I encounter this kind of thing in the future.”

“If you really meet it.” Xie Ruhe is like educating a child, “In these two months, you can ask the security guard and the police for help, provided that you have to ensure your own safety. Fear is natural, but it does not mean you do. Something wrong.”

When he noticed that he had said the time, he didn’t even listen to what he said, and looked confused.

“Two months? What about those two months later?”

“Two months later.” Xie Ruhe’s eyes narrowed slightly, and they were stained with gentleness. His voice paused, looking at her, his tone seemed to promise, “You can find me.”
