Shu Nian couldn't hear what he said, thinking that he thought she disagreed. She felt that his wish was a very small thing, it was easy to realize, and there was nothing to refuse: "Is that all?"
"Um."
"Where do you usually recover? Go to the hospital?"
Xie Ruhe said without changing his expression: "At home."
Shunian nodded, thought about it, and said to him: "I usually go to the recording studio, so I can't go there often to accompany you. But I will go there when I have time."
"it is good."
"If you want someone to accompany you, you can find Assistant Fang." Shu Nian thought that he might not want to do everything by himself, so he gave him serious advice, "He is a very good person."
"..." Xie Ruhe didn't say anything.
Shu Nian got used to his silent appearance, so he casually chatted with him: "Your birthday is today, won't you celebrate it with your grandpa?"
"I went to have dinner with him at noon, and we went to see my mother together." Xie Ruhe repeated what he did today, "I have to recover tonight, so I didn't stay with him any longer."
Hearing Xie Ruhe mention his mother, Shu Nian paused, and didn't say anything more: "Where is Assistant Fang? Shall we go find him?"
Xie Ruhe lazily said: "I'll let him come over."
The two found a spot on the side of the road and stopped.
Shu Nian stood beside him, watched him look down at his phone, and contacted Fang Wencheng. She rubbed the toe of her shoe against the floor in boredom, making a rustling sound.
"Xie Ruhe, are you twenty..." Shu Nian calculated, "Twenty-three years old?"
"Um."
"It's so fast." Shu Nian was a little happy, "Then we've known each other for almost ten years."
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe raised his head: "It's been ten years."
"It's been so long." Shunian continued to talk about the past, "I still remember that when my father came back from vacation, he brought me a small guitar from the city."
"It's a ukulele."
"Yes. Then I didn't know how to play. You were the one who played. It was then that I realized how good your musical skills are." Shu Nian recalled, "You seemed to be able to write your own music at that time. At that time, I felt You will be great in the future."
Because of her tone, Xie Ruhe's expression seemed a little unnatural: "Not at all."
Shunian's mood improved: "Besides, at that time, I liked to imitate the lines in the animation. I told you that the staff behind the scenes are amazing. They can interpret a character on paper into such a three-dimensional voice. .”
"..."
"And now I'm also working in this industry." Shunian thought for a while, "We seem to be doing what we like, so life doesn't seem to be that bad."
Xie Ruhe listened to her words and responded in a low voice. Since he knew her, she has always been positive and brought positive energy to people.
Shu Nian became serious again, like a little old man: "You have to work hard and recover, everything will be fine."
Xie Ruhe said obediently: "I know."
After a short series of motivational conversations, it fell into silence again.
Not far away, Fang Wencheng drove over.
Xie Ruhe was about to remind her that she was about to get in the car. Shu Nian lowered his head, feeling inexplicably depressed, and suddenly said: "Actually, I am also sick, and I am also working hard to cure it."
Xie Ruhe was taken aback, then turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Shu Nian curled his lips, revealing a dimple, the emotion just now seemed to be Xie Ruhe's illusion. Then, she sniffed hard: "I have a cold."
"..."
After Fang Wencheng sent them to the garden by the Rhine, he didn't get out of the car with them, and started the car again, not knowing what to do.
Shu Nian pushed Xie Ruhe upstairs.
After entering the door, only a small lamp was lit in the mysterious light.
Shu Nian turned on the light, changed her slippers, and turned on the light in the living room. She took the cake box from Xie Ruhe's hand, watched him change his shoes, and asked, "When will you start your rehabilitation tonight?"
Xie Ruhe paused and raised his head: "After eating the cake."
Shu Nian thought for a while: "Then I have to eat something to fill my stomach first."
With that said, she carried a big cake box into the living room: "What shall we have for dinner tonight?"
Xie Ruhe followed her and asked calmly, "Is there nothing on the table?"
Hearing this, Shu Nian looked in the direction of the dining table, it was empty, except for a transparent jug filled with water, there was nothing else: "Nothing."
Xie Ruhe licked his lips, without changing his expression, he said, "I'll make a call and ask."
Shu Nian had noticed before that Xie Ruhe's daily dinner was cooked by the housekeeper. It is to tidy up the house first, and then start cooking.
She looked around.
Probably because Xie Ruhe didn't stay in the living room often, it was generally clean and tidy. But there was only half a cup of coffee left on the coffee table, the scissors casually placed on the TV cabinet, and the scattered pillows on the sofa, it was obvious that my aunt hadn't come over today.
Shu Nian hesitated for a while, thinking that if Auntie came over to make it now, it would probably be too late for dinner. She suggested in a low voice: "How about I make you some?"
Xie Ruhe immediately looked up at her: "Can you do it?"
"I live alone, of course I have to be able to." Shu Nian scratched his head, "I'm not very good at cooking, but I can cook noodles for you... But it's definitely not as delicious as auntie's."
Xie Ruhe looked in a good mood: "Then eat noodles."
Shu Nian took off his coat and put it on the sofa: "Then just wait a while."
After walking a few steps, Shunian heard the sound of wheels rolling behind her. She turned her head, looked at Xie Ruhe who was following up, and blinked: "Are you going to the kitchen too?"
Xie Ruhe hummed, and said seriously: "You don't know where to put things."
Shu Nian nodded and didn't say anything else.
The kitchen has a large space with a modern and minimalist style. The countertop is rectangular and there is a space on the side for the refrigerator. Items are placed neatly and orderly, and the countertop is clean and reflective.
Shu Nian was unfamiliar with this place, he was a bit at a loss, so he looked at the cabinet and asked him.
"Where's the soup pot?"
Xie Ruhe was silent for a while, and casually pointed to one of the cabinets: "It should be here."
Shu Nian opened the cabinet, looked at the rows of plates inside, and said hesitantly, "It doesn't seem to be here."
"It might have been put in another cabinet by auntie, look for it."
Shu Nian snorted, didn't doubt much, obediently looked through the other cabinets, and quickly found the soup pot.
She filled some water in and put the soup pot on top of the induction cooker. After finishing this series of things, Shu Nian opened the refrigerator, took out the noodles from the side, and asked him, "Can I cook this?"
Xie Ruhe looked at her, the curves of her facial features were dyed tenderly by the light.
"it is good."
Shu Nian struggled with how much to put: "Does Assistant Fang eat?"
Xie Ruhe frowned: "He won't eat."
"Oh, he's not coming back, is he?"
"no."
Shu Nian didn't ask any more questions, but after thinking about it, he let the weight of the two of them go. She looked at the seasonings on the side, and fell into distress: "I usually buy seasoning packets directly and put them in. I haven't made the soup base myself."
"..."
"It's like the one in instant noodles." Shu Nian gestured to him, "You can buy it separately."
Xie Ruhe thought for a while: "It seems that there are instant noodles."
"Then you can't use the ones in instant noodles." Shu Nian was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a little funny, "Then there won't be any seasoning packets next time, so how should I eat it?"
"It's okay." Xie Ruhe didn't care too much, "I don't eat instant noodles, they are all from Fang Wencheng."
"..."
In the end, Shu Nian still didn't accept his suggestion, she checked it online, and carefully adjusted the soup base according to what others said.
Using the ingredients in the refrigerator, Shu Nian made shredded pork noodles with shiitake mushrooms, and added an egg to Xie Ruhe's bowl. She wasn't sure if it was good or not, and she was a little nervous.
When the two sat at the dining table, Fang Wencheng just came back.
He was holding a white bag in his hand, smelling the fragrance, he looked over: "Are you eating noodles?"
Fang Wencheng swallowed his saliva, felt his stomach that was screaming with hunger, and was about to ask if there was any part for him. The next moment, Xie Ruhe opened his mouth and told him calmly: "You have eaten."
"..." Fang Wencheng didn't realize it for a moment, "What have I eaten..."
Soon, Fang Wencheng stopped, resisting the impulse to hide his face and cry bitterly, and said following Xie Ruhe's words: "... Well, I have eaten."
Shu Nian 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 had finished eating half of it, she suddenly noticed Xie Ruhe who had an empty bowl next to her.
Shu Nian raised his head and asked in a daze, "Are you still hungry?"
Xie Ruhe licked his lips: "Yes."
"Oh." Shu Nian said, "Then wait a minute and eat cake later."
"..."
After Shunian finished eating, Fang Wencheng helped to take out the cake from the refrigerator and put in candles. He still wasn't used to such a scene. In the past, Xie Ruhe had no interest in things like cakes, let alone blowing out candles.
On my birthday, there was no difference from usual, and I waited quietly in the house until the zero o'clock arrived.
Shu Nian said to Xie Ruhe, "Make a wish."
"desire?"
"Yes, blow out the candles after making a wish."
Xie Ruhe looked down at the firelight on the cake, and said in a deep and clear voice, "I hope to do the same next year."
Shu Nian groaned: "It won't work if you say it."
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe raised his head, his eyes reflected light, flickering on and off.
"Will it work if you don't say it?"
Fang Wencheng echoed, "Anyway, it's better than speaking."
Xie Ruhe lowered his head thoughtfully, and after a pause of more than ten seconds, he suddenly blew out the candle.
After eating the cake, the two sat for a while.
When the rehabilitation doctor came, Xie Ruhe had almost digested it.
Shu Nian accompanied Xie Ruhe to recover.
Xie Ruhe's family lives on the sixteenth floor, one household per floor. But now Shu Nian knows that the 17th floor is also owned by Xie Ruhe, and he usually recovers upstairs.
The rehabilitation doctor trained him according to the plan and Xie Ruhe's recovery process.
Shu Nian didn't know what he was going to do, so he just watched from the side.
There was something like a bed. The doctor asked Xie Ruhe to lie on it. His lower limbs were fixed by blue straps. Through the 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 increasing by 10 degrees every few weeks until it is fully vertical. What Xie Ruhe did today was vertical standing exercises.
After Xie Ruhe was fixed and stood upright.
It was the first time Shu Nian saw him standing up completely since the reunion. She walked over and felt a little strange: "When I saw you sitting before, I thought you were quite tall. Do you have—" She thought for a while and guessed: "1.8 meters?"
The bed is designed with wheels at the bottom, about ten centimeters from the ground.
Shu Nian looked at Xie Ruhe with his head up.
Xie Ruhe breathed calmly and said: "185."
"When I met you, you seemed to be only 1.5 meters, and then you were a head taller than me." Shu Nian recalled, "Then you should be 1.7 meters at that time."
Xie Ruhe said: "Well, almost."
"You've grown fifteen centimeters." As he spoke, Shu Nian gestured to his head, and said seriously, "I've grown ten centimeters, and now I'm 1.59 meters..."
Having said this, Shu Nian paused, and changed his words vaguely: "It's 1.6 meters."
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe glanced at her up and down, but didn't speak.
Shu read the meaning of his eyes, a little guilty, afraid that he would find out that he was lying. But she felt that it was impossible for him to find out that she was indeed less than 1.6 meters through visual inspection.
Shu Nian forcibly let go.
After thinking about it, Xie Ruhe shook his head, his voice was cold and indifferent.
"should not."
Shu read for a while: "What?"
Xie Ruhe said: "There is no one meter six."
"..."
