Xie Ruhe fell silent.
He could faintly hear the rustling of his hair, as if he sat up from the bed. After a few seconds, there was another snap of the curtains being drawn.
Afterwards, Shu Nian heard Xie Ruhe whisper following her words: "Xing Xing..."
Hearing this, Shu Nian suddenly realized that he didn't even open the curtains.
Let alone the stars, if she hadn't seen the current time, she wouldn't even know if the sky outside was bright or not.
After opening the curtain, Xie Ruhe didn't speak again. This seemed to mean that after hearing her words, he looked out expectantly, only to find that the entire sky was covered by dark clouds, and half of the stars could not be seen.
It felt like being caught in the air, Shunian's face was a little hot. She looked towards the curtain, covered the microphone, and tiptoed over, lest he would hear her.
Shu Nian grabbed the corner of the curtain, carefully, little by little, trying to open the curtain to see if there are stars outside.
Before she could pull out a small slit, Xie Ruhe said softly: "It's quite beautiful."
"..." Shu Nian let go of his hand immediately, relaxed and didn't look outside, "Um... did I wake you up?"
"I haven't slept yet."
Shunian didn't quite believe it: "Then what are you doing?"
Xie Ruhe said: "Write songs."
"Oh." Shu Nian remembered something and asked him, "Why don't you sing by yourself now?"
"I want to focus on writing." Xie Ruhe's voice sounded patient, steady and a little soft, "Besides, some of the songs I wrote are not suitable for me to sing by myself."
"But for the song "The Stars Are Falling", I think it's very suitable for you to sing by yourself." Shu Nian sat back and talked to him with his knees hugged, "It's much better than mine."
The version he sang is still in her mobile phone, and Shu Nian has listened to it a hundred times if not a thousand times.
Still not tired of hearing it.
Xie Ruhe laughed and said in a serious tone, "You sing well."
He talked a little more than usual today, but he didn't ask her why she called so late.
Several times, when Shu Nian thought that he would remain silent, he would open his mouth unexpectedly, as if he didn't need to think at all, he said it without thinking, and he replied very quickly.
Give her the feeling that she is always there.
It seemed to come along the phone, turning into breath, entangled around her inextricably.
Shunem's fear gradually dissipated.
She hesitated for a while, not wanting to disturb him anymore, just when she was about to tell him and hang up the phone. Xie Ruhe suddenly asked her a question: "Shu Nian, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
"..." Shu Nian subconsciously shrank back into the quilt, lowered his voice, as if whispering, "There must be. Isn't there someone who has done an experiment, will the body become lighter after death?"
"Yes?" Xie Ruhe's voice was calm, "Isn't that good."
This sudden conclusion made Shu Nian extremely incomprehensible, but he still wanted to hear his reasoning.
"Where is it good?"
"That means those people who want to see but never see again." Xie Ruhe paused, as if thinking of someone, "Maybe they will always be by your side."
"..." Shu Nian understood the meaning of his words, and asked in a low voice, "Are you talking about Auntie?"
Xie Ruhe didn't deny it: "Yes."
Shu Nian's mood was a little sour.
But Xie Ruhe's mood didn't sound bad, as if something sad had sounded. Perhaps because he had never done such a thing before, his tone was a bit blunt: "If you think this is true, then believe it. But don't think it is so scary, and you don't need to be afraid."
After going around in a circle, Shu Nian finally came to his senses.
He was using another way to tell her not to be afraid.
He was comforting her.
"I see." Shu Nian rubbed his eyes and whispered, "Thank you. Also, I'm sorry for calling you in the middle of the night and disturbing you."
Probably because of being smudged by the night, Xie Ruhe's voice was a little tender: "I'm very happy that you can call me."
Hearing this, Shunian took a breath.
Feeling at a loss for a while, when he wanted to say something, Xie Ruhe opened his mouth again, his tone changed back to his usual cold and flat tone: "It's okay, don't bother me."
That sentence just now seems to be just Shu Nian's auditory hallucination.
She licked her lips: "Then go to bed, it's late."
Xie Ruhe hummed: "Go to sleep."
Saying "good night", Shu Nian put the phone on the pillow next to him, waiting for him to hang up. After waiting for dozens of seconds, there was no tendency to hang up the phone at all, and the call time was still lengthening.
Shu Nian leaned over to listen, but didn't hear any sound from the other end.
Not sure what he was doing.
Maybe also waiting for her to hang up on the other side like her.
She stared at it for a while, then suddenly reached out and hung up the phone.
Shu Nian put the phone on the bedside table, leaned over and closed the curtains again, and saw the cloud-covered sky outside the window through the gap. She paused and buried herself in the blanket again. She closed her eyes, and the terrifying grimace no longer appeared in her mind, nor did she feel any fear.
Soon, Shu Nian sat up without feeling sleepy. She touched the position of her heart depressedly.
Why is it still jumping so fast
This recording studio was only rented for four days. Shu Nian's dubbing experience is not that much, and he didn't want to affect the progress, so he kept lip-syncing in his free time.
Moreover, most of the actors who come to dub have not received professional voice training. In order to be perfect, many lines need to be recorded repeatedly. Shu Nian didn't want to let himself occupy too much time in the recording studio.
Ke Yiqing's session was recorded in the afternoon of the second day, and she didn't come to the recording studio after that.
Shu Nian didn't take her words to heart, and put all his heart and soul into interpreting the role well with his voice, hoping that he wouldn't hold back the actor himself.
The progress is also done smoothly over time.
It was still early, Shu Nian left the recording studio early. Finally letting go of the big stone in her heart, she is now in a particularly relaxed mood, planning to buy some fruit nearby, and then go to Xie Ruhe.
Thinking of the little wish that Xie Ruhe made on his birthday, and thinking that he didn't do anything after agreeing, Shu Nian felt a little guilty.
She didn't want to rush over, so she hesitated and sent Xie Ruhe a WeChat message.
After a long time, until Shu Nian was almost at the downstairs of Xie Ruhe's house, he didn't receive his reply: [Have you come? Just go straight up to the seventeenth floor.]
Seeing that number, Shu Nian guessed that he was doing rehabilitation exercises just now. She didn't dawdle any longer and went up to the seventeenth floor. It was the rehabilitation doctor she knew who opened the door for her.
Shu Nian followed him, walked through the living room, and walked to the room that Xie Ruhe specially used for rehabilitation.
After entering the door, Shu Nian was stunned when he saw the scene inside.
The last time I watched him recover 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.
Shu Nian saw that Xie Ruhe was standing in the middle of the rehabilitation parallel bars without relying on anything. For a moment, she even thought that he was completely healed. During this period of time, he had achieved good results, and his hard work finally paid off.
I don't know how long he has been training, Xie Ruhe's face is covered with sweat, and his face is also slightly flushed. Noticing Shu Nian's figure, he looked over. As if he was exhausted, the next moment, he reached out and grabbed the parallel bars next to him to stabilize his body.
The rehabilitation doctor walked over and said to him, "Let's take a rest first."
"Wait a minute." Xie Ruhe shook his head, looked at Shu Nian, his breath was unsteady, "Shu Nian."
Shu Nian walked over and stood beside him, asking, "What's wrong?"
"I can stand for a minute without holding things up now. If I can walk—" Xie Ruhe paused, "Three steps, three steps. Can you..."
He didn't know what he was going to say either. He just wanted to say something to her, but when he realized that his words seemed to be making a request, Xie Ruhe couldn't say anything.
After waiting for a long time without waiting for the next words, Shu Nian was at a loss: "Huh?"
Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
The rehabilitation doctor next to him saw his thoughts, thought it was funny, and took the initiative to say for him: "I just hope you can give him some encouragement."
Unexpectedly, he would speak suddenly, Xie Ruhe frowned and looked over.
Shu Nian didn't quite understand, so he asked bluntly, "What encouragement?"
"It's not that difficult." The rehabilitation doctor said solemnly, as if saying something very ordinary, "A few words, or a hug is enough."
