Defeated By Love - Chapter 65
After sleeping, Shunian felt that the side effects of taking the medicine were a lot lighter, and the feeling of nausea was not as severe as before. She never told Deng Qingyu about the thief entering the house. She was afraid that she would be worried at this time, and she did not say it.
Shunian talked a few words with Deng Qingyu, and hung up the phone before long.
The room is as quiet as usual.
Xie Ruhe never made any big movements, and basically wouldn’t bother her.
Shunen rubbed his eyes and moved to the window to open the curtain. The floors are high here, and most of the night scene of Ruchuan City can be seen, and the lights of Wanjia are reflected in her eyes. She looked down at the time, then got up and washed her face in the bathroom.
I only drank a bowl of porridge at noon, and Shunen felt hungry now. She opened the door and was about to walk in the direction of the living room, when she suddenly noticed a post-it note on the door.
Shunen paused, and reached out to tear off the post-it note.
Above is Xie Ruhe’s familiar handwriting.
——I went out to buy something and woke up to call me. Xie Ruhe.
Shunen walked back to the room again to take out the phone.
At the moment at seven o’clock. She thought about it, she seemed to fall asleep at three or four in the afternoon, she didn’t hear anything, and she didn’t know how long Xie Ruhe had been out.
Shunian walked to the kitchen and called him. She opened the refrigerator and flipped through it.
There was a beep in the ear.
Shunen took a cup of jelly from the refrigerator, and reached the spoon on tiptoe.
After she finished this series of actions, Xie Ruhe hadn’t answered the phone.
Shunian walked to the sofa and sat down and waited for a while.
The phone hangs up automatically because no one answers for a long time.
Shunen stared at the screen hesitantly, always feeling something was wrong. From the reunion till now, she has hardly encountered Xie Ruhe not answering the phone. No matter what time the call is made.
She licked her lips and slapped again.
Still no answer.
Shunian thought about it and sent him a text message.
【Where are you now? 】
After the transmission was successful, Shunen put the phone aside, and his mood instantly became worse. She tore the jelly wrapper, took a spoon, dug absently and took a bite.
When Shunian hesitated to call Fang Wencheng.
There happened to be movement in the hallway.
Shunen quickly moved to the very edge of the sofa and stretched his head to look at the hallway.
Xie Ruhe came in with a bag and changed his clothes. He looked bad, and his eyebrows were sharp and hostile. He lowered his head and changed his shoes, his eyes lifted, and his emotions faded a little when he noticed Shunen.
He came over: “Wake up?”
Shunen nodded and asked, “Why don’t you answer the phone.”
“I just went out and accidentally dropped it.” Xie Ruhe casually took out the phone from his pocket and pressed the power button, the screen was still black, “broken.”
Shunen was silent for a few seconds, lowered his eyes, and noticed bruises on his arms and elbows. She walked to the TV cabinet and took out the medicine kit.
Xie Ruhe still stood there: “Are you hungry?”
“A little bit.” Shunen said honestly, “but I just ate a jelly and it was fine.”
Xie Ruhe said, took out one of the things in the bag and put it in the refrigerator.
When he walked back to the living room, he saw that Shunen was already sitting on the sofa, gently turning out the medical cotton swab and iodophor. She sniffed and asked: “What are you going out to buy?”
Xie Ruhe sat next to her: “Ice cream, but it may be all melted.”
“It will be fine for a while.” Shunen grabbed his wrist, leaned over, and treated his wound seriously, “have you also fallen? The skin is broken here.”
Xie Ruhe did not speak.
Shunian carefully applied medicine to him and gave him a peek: “Why are you unhappy.”
There was no emotion on Xie Ruhe’s face, and he said quietly: “No.”
Shunen didn’t quite believe what he said, and slowly suggested, “Do you want to eat ice cream now? Otherwise, we will go out to buy it now, and it will happen that dinner is also outside.”
“Huh?” Xie Ruhe looked up, “I bought you ice cream.”
“How to buy me ice cream…”
“You said you want to eat this afternoon.”
“Did I say it?” Shunen’s expression was a bit dumb, and he tilted his head to think about it, and it took a long time to remember, “Oh, yes. I said… I forgot to sleep.”
Xie Ruhe bends his lips, most of the bad mood disappears. He took the cotton swab in her hand and said, “I’ll do it myself. I’ll pack the noodles for you, and eat first.”
Shunen shook his head: “I will finish painting for you first.”
Xie Ruhe paused, said nothing, and did not move obediently.
“My father always got hurt before.” Shunen’s movements were very light, and he spoke softly, “I helped him deal with the wounds when he was at home.”
Xie Ruhe looked down at her.
Shunen smiled: “I think I did it pretty well.”
After treating the wound, she threw the cotton swab into the trash can and got up to wash her hands in the kitchen. Xie Ruhe followed and stood beside her silently.
Shunen dried the water on his hands and said, “Wash your hands too.”
Xie Ruhe nodded, and washed his hand with water.
Shunen walked out of the kitchen: “Then have noodles tonight?”
Xie Ruhe said, “Yeah.”
Shunen picked up the bag and walked to the dining table.
Xie Ruhe came to help and asked in a low voice, “Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Shunen is very honest: “No more.”
“Tell me if you are uncomfortable.”
“Great.”
Xie Ruhe packed the signature beef noodles from a nearby noodle shop. Fearing that the noodles will be mushy, the noodles and soup are packed in separate boxes, totaling four boxes.
The soup was still very hot. Xie Ruhe was worried that Shunian would be scalded. Without letting her touch it, she got up and poured the soup into the bowl.
Shunian held his cheeks, looked at the wound on his arm, and stopped talking.
Xie Ruhe poured the soup, stirred it with chopsticks, and put it in front of Shunian. He happened to see her gaze, his gaze paused, and his lips were pursed, for fear that she was thinking about it, so he didn’t hide it.
“My grandparents and some of my uncles are here.”
Shunian suddenly remembered Deng Qingyu’s words and uttered.
“I happened to ran into it when I just came back.” Xie Ruhe said calmly, “I was pushed by my uncle and hit the wall without paying attention, nothing happened.”
Shunen never thought it was like this, and couldn’t help but said, “Why are they like this.”
“Should want me to go back to see my dad.” Xie Ruhe didn’t care too much, “Also, let me give them money. They said that my dad will spend money in the funeral and help support my grandparents.”
“…” Shunen guessed, “Did they scold you.”
Xie Ruhe said, did not speak, lowered his head and bit his face.
Shunian took the chopsticks and sat quietly watching him.
I remembered when I was in Shiyan Town, because Ji Xiangning was an outsider, in this place, she was helpless except Xie Ji. But the husband is unreliable, drunk every day, and his temper comes up with beating and scolding.
This only reliance became the source of her painful life.
At that time, only Ji Xiangning would protect Xie Ruhe.
Other relatives would just look on the sidelines of their home. At that time, he didn’t do anything, but at this moment he thought he was Xie Ruhe’s elder again, came to teach him and ask him for money.
Shunian remembered Zeng Yuanxue’s words again.
She exhaled, suddenly feeling sad. Those words, Shunen probably wouldn’t tell Xie Ruhe in this life, and wouldn’t want him to know why Ji Xiangning really gave up.
Shunen lowered his head and asked, “I have forgotten, why we have no contact.”
Xie Ruhe’s movements stopped, and his Adam’s apple slipped.
In fact, it is not a big reason.
It’s because of distance, but also because of time. The two are so far apart, have their own lives, and are busy with their own things. Each other is still important, but also feel strange.
When you encounter something, you are no longer the first to tell the other party.
It gradually became a long time to chat, and they were just happy things, and would not bring any of their negative energy to the other party. Become a strange and familiar old friend.
Shunen suddenly remembered, and hesitated: “I remember it, it seems that I have called you several times, but you ignored me, called you and didn’t answer it. Then I broke the contact.”
Xie Ruhe licked his lips: “Yes.”
“…” Shunen asked incredulously, “Did you see deliberately ignoring me?”
“On your 20th birthday, I called you.” Xie Ruhe stopped his chopsticks and said to himself, “I have used the name Ahe for two years.”
Shunen was stunned: “You called me? I don’t know.”
In Shunen’s impression, since Xie Ruhe went to France, they generally only contacted on QQ, and rarely made calls. The time difference is also because neither of them is talkative.
“Xu Zeyuan answered the call.” Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes again, “said he is your boyfriend.”
I wanted to tell her that he was going back to China and wanted to meet her. At that time, A He, the singer-songwriter’s pen name, gradually gained some fame, and he also had financial resources.
I feel that the distance between myself and her is slowly approaching.
Relying on his own ability, he narrowed the distance between the two of them little by little.
It will no longer be like when in Shiyan Town, everyone said such ugly things to her who reached out to him because he had a father who was capable of domestic violence.
Probably in that place, everyone felt that it was wrong for them to get together.
One is a gloomy and hostile teenager who never listens to lectures in class, and often skips class; the other is a bright and kind-hearted, who listens carefully to the words of teachers and parents, lives clean and clear, even when it rains, white shoes are Spotless good girl.
It is obvious that they are not people in the same world.
Even Shunen’s mother thought so.
Probably, even Xie Ruhe himself thought so.
So he wanted to make himself better, so that others could forget that he had a father like that, an existence that embarrassed him but couldn’t get rid of it.
Xie Ruhe wanted to stay by Shunen’s side, but it was never because of the word friend.
He has a deeper desire.
But when Xie Ruhe felt that he had made the first step and wanted to get close to her and return to her.
There are already other people around her.
You will feel that you don’t seem to have any reason to stay with her anymore.
Xie Ruhe said: “I didn’t log on that QQ afterwards.”
Shunian said, “I don’t know…”
Xie Ruhe rubbed her head: “It’s my problem.”
It was a bad behavior to know that I had disconnected from her without saying a word. I think she might talk to him about Xu Zeyuan, about what happened when they were in love, about the first time they held hands, the first hug, and the first kiss.
Thinking of such a scene, he felt out of breath.
It was extremely unbearable.
Shunen was silent for a while, then apologized to him: “I’m sorry.”
Xie Ruhe raised his eyes: “Huh? What apologies?”
“I lied to you before. If you told me you liked me in high school, I should scold you.” Shunen said dullly, “My father taught me that way. Always think of things that are not marginal, students should learn.”
Xie Ruhe didn’t know what she was trying to say, but looked dazed.
“I apologize for my stubborn opinion.”
“…”
Maybe I didn’t think it was right, Shunian couldn’t say it very well, and it took a long time before he came out.
“I feel that a puppy love should be good too…”
