Shu Nian looked at the candy in his hand, and the hand he was still holding. Then, he looked up at him again, and asked wonderingly, "What's the crime of touching hands?"
Xie Ruhe didn't answer.
Shu Nian didn't take the one in his hand, and didn't continue to mention what happened just now. She withdrew her hand, tore off the candy wrapper, and put the candy into her mouth: "That one is for you to eat."
The two entered the house.
Xie Ruhe lowered his head, looked at his hand, and shook it vaguely. It seemed that the temperature of her hand still remained on it.
His mood suddenly became very good.
Enter the living room from the hallway.
Fang Wencheng was sitting on the sofa with a heavy expression, as if he had experienced something tragic. Noticing their return, he immediately stood up, smiling a little ashamedly.
Shu Nian greeted him.
Fang Wencheng smiled at Shu Nian reluctantly with the expression of self-blame he made for Xie Ruhe: "Miss Shu is here."
Xie Ruhe suddenly said, "Fang Wencheng."
Fang Wencheng looked at him immediately, very politely: "Teacher, what's the matter?"
Xie Ruhe raised the corners of his mouth, as if there was another person present, his tone was not sharp, and even a little gentle, with a half-smile: "One last time."
"..." Fang Wencheng's back shuddered inexplicably, and it was probably because of Xu Zeyuan's matter, "Okay, I understand."
Sensing the atmosphere between them, Shu Nian felt a little weird, but didn't say much.
Soon, Fang Wencheng was ordered by Xie Ruhe to do a few things, and then he went out. When the time came, Shu Nian followed Xie Ruhe into the recording studio.
As soon as she entered the working state, Shu Nian would call Xie Ruhe "teacher" very solemnly, as if she didn't want him to give her any preferential treatment. Occasionally, when his tone was blunt, she would only be very annoyed and think about what she did not do well.
When they are in the shed, they generally seldom talk about personal matters.
Only a few words are mentioned occasionally.
Shunian entered the shed, walked to the microphone and put on the earphones. She adjusted herself and cleared her throat. The next moment, Xie Ruhe's voice suddenly came from the headset: "Shu Nian."
Shu Nian nodded: "Teacher, I'm ready."
Xie Ruhe looked at her from the control room, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Let's listen to the accompaniment first."
"OK."
A brisk and clear melody rang in my ears, mixed with Xie Ruhe's voice, a little calm, as if I was just chatting with her: "Did you ask Fang Wencheng about my affairs yesterday?"
"..." Shu Nian came out of the state instantly, a little embarrassed, "Assistant Fang told you?"
"Usually report to me."
Shunian didn't look at him, and lowered his voice: "Mmm..."
Xie Ruhe said, "Why don't you just ask me?"
Shu Nian didn't know how to explain, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."
Xie Ruhe paused, and asked in confusion, "Why are you apologizing?"
"..." Didn't he mean to question her like that just now
"You can ask me directly." Xie Ruhe looked serious, "There is no need to ask other people."
Shu Nian nodded subconsciously: "Okay."
There was a few seconds of silence.
Xie Ruhe suddenly called her again: "Shu Nian."
"What's wrong?"
"I'll stick to it."
Shu Nian was stunned for a moment, inexplicably recalling the sentence she said to Fang Wencheng yesterday - "You have to let him persevere."
Following the transparent glass, Xie Ruhe sat right under the light. The fine eyelashes cast dark shadows under the eyes, the peach blossom eyes are slightly narrowed, and the black pupils are dark and bright.
He looked at her as if he was making an important promise.
Shu Nian looked at him, and curled the corners of his lips: "Okay."
Fang Wencheng's phrase "Recording a song normally only takes one or two hours" is completely inconsistent with Shunian. It took her more than a week to finally finish recording the song.
On the last day of going there, after recording the song, Shu Nian had dinner at Xie Ruhe's house.
It was proposed by Fang Wencheng.
These days, Shu Nian usually leaves the shed at seven o'clock in the evening, and then Fang Wencheng drives her home according to Xie Ruhe's instructions. Shu Nian also became a little familiar with him, without the familiarity they had when they first met.
Shu Nian originally wanted to refuse.
But with a glance, she suddenly noticed Xie Ruhe with his head down, and the back of him sitting alone at the dining table, Shu Nian still said hello.
The three ate together.
Shu Nian usually doesn't talk when eating, Xie Ruhe himself doesn't talk much, and he is even more silent when eating, Fang Wencheng is the only one left at the table talking endlessly.
Originally, Xie Ruhe had always been sullen because of the addition of another person, and this person didn't know it, and kept giving himself a sense of presence. He stopped his chopsticks and asked softly, "You used to talk so much?"
Fang Wencheng immediately shut up.
Shu Nian sat on the side, watching Xie Ruhe routinely bullying Fang Wencheng, he wanted to laugh a little.
After eating, Shu Nian didn't stay any longer. Fang Wencheng opened the door first, and she followed behind, saying goodbye to Xie Ruhe. Before she could close the door, Xie Ruhe suddenly called to her: "Shu Nian."
Shu read back.
Xie Ruhe looked at her and said, "Contact me when I'm free."
After the work is done, Shu Nian no longer has to run to Xie Ruhe's house every day like now. It has changed back to the way it was before, running to various recording studios in the city every day.
Voice actors don't have fixed holidays. Originally, she planned to stay in the shed during New Year's Day. But the cold, which had been completely cured before, came out again because of the deep winter.
Fortunately, Shu Nian didn't have a job these days, so he just stayed at home.
On the evening of the 31st, Shunian went out, planning to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
There is a supermarket near my home, very close, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.
At this time, the sun has not completely set, dyeing half of the sky red, the color is like splashed ink, the sun is shining on the body, but it is not warm at all. The temperature has dropped below ten degrees recently, and the cold seems to be able to penetrate the clothes and hit the bone marrow.
Shu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and counted his steps in boredom.
Before counting to one hundred, Shu Nian heard someone calling her name.
It was a woman, and her tone was a bit uncertain: "Is it Shunem?"
Shu Nian followed the voice and saw that it wasn't just one person, there were probably five or six of them, and they were all faces she knew. The person who called her just now was Ruan Xitong who called her a few days ago.
Xu Zeyuan was also there, standing at the back with a boy.
Ruan Xitong seemed to have forgotten Shunian's attitude on the phone, and smiled at her: "It's really you? I haven't seen you for a long time, and you haven't changed much."
Shu Nian nodded towards her, not knowing what to say.
A girl next to him asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shu Nian said honestly, "Supermarket."
"We're shopping now, and we're going to the monitor's house to have a hot pot." Ruan Xitong invited her, "It's the class reunion I called you earlier, so you can come too."
"No." Shu Nian directly refused, "You guys have fun."
"Are you really not coming?" Ruan Xitong was still persuading, "Not only us, everyone else has already gone to the monitor's house, we just went out to buy things..."
Before she could speak, Xu Zeyuan interrupted her suddenly: "If she doesn't want to go, she won't go, Ruan Xitong, why are you always trying to persuade me?"
"..."
A moment of silence.
Shu Nian pursed his lips, and repeated again: "You guys have fun."
Then continue to walk in the direction of the supermarket.
Someone followed behind, and Shu Nian could faintly hear Ruan Xitong's angry voice: "He didn't bring up the breakup by himself? Who are you angry with now! Something's wrong..."
Shu Nian walked a few more steps, then turned around, "Are you okay?"
Xu Zeyuan raised the brim of his hat a bit, and exhaled: "I'll take you there."
Shu Nian said: "No need."
Xu Zeyuan insisted: "I'll take you there."
Shu Nian also insisted: "Go back."
Xu Zeyuan stood there without moving, just looking at her.
Shu Nian didn't confront him, turned around and continued walking.
Xu Zeyuan followed behind her, and suddenly said: "Are you with Teacher Ahe?"
Shu Nian paused, but didn't answer.
Her reaction, in Xu Zeyuan's mind, was acquiescing. He also fell silent, and said after a long time: "Shu Nian, I went to look for you later."
Xu Zeyuan really never thought that his breaking up at that time would have such a great impact on Shu Nian.
She was taken home by her parents, took a long, long leave, and never came to school again. She also moved, and she never answered her phone calls, and no one could contact her.
It's like the world has evaporated.
Shu Nian asked suspiciously, "What do you want me for?"
Xu Zeyuan lowered his eyes: "I shouldn't have broken up with you at that time."
Hearing this, Shunian looked at him: "Are you feeling guilty because of this?"
"..."
"It's not necessary." Shu Nian didn't care too much, "If you like it, you can stay together, if you don't like it, you can separate, it's a normal thing. This is your right, you can mention it whenever you want."
"...I don't like it anymore." Xu Zeyuan clenched his fists, holding up his courage, "Shu Nian, I regret it."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Zeyuan heaved a sigh of relief. He felt courage filling his chest in an instant. He looked at Shu Nian and repeated nervously: "I regret it."
The light next to it was dim, and the light bulbs flickered. The cold wind rolled the sand and turned it around 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, Shunian's cell phone rang, she lowered her eyes, whispered "I'll answer the call", and picked it up.
It was Xie Ruhe.
His tone was a little low, and he seemed to be in a bad mood: "Shu Nian, are you free?"
Shu Nian responded: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Xie Ruhe was silent for a while, and said: "I am recovering well."
Shu Nian said: "Well, that's good."
After another silence, Xie Ruhe suddenly said, "Today is December 31st."
Shu Nian wanted to say that he knew it, but before he could say it, he suddenly stopped and remembered something.
December 31st.
... Xie Ruhe's birthday.
Afterwards, Xie Ruhe asked her softly, "Do you want to eat cake?"
Shu Nian pinched his sleeves guiltily, not knowing how to respond for a while, before asking, "Do you want to eat?"
"Um."
There was no emotion in his voice.
Shu Nian licked his lips, hesitantly said: "Shall I buy it for you?"
