Defeated By Love Chapter 1.2

 

Chapter 1.2

The room fell silent instantly.

Such an atmosphere made Shu Nian feel at a loss as to what to do. She lowered her eyes, twisted her hand, and locked the door. Going back to the balcony, she relocked the floor-to-ceiling windows opened by her mother.

The movements are neat and crisp, as if they have been done thousands of times. She remembered what her mother had just told her—to pay attention to ventilation.

Shu Nian hesitated for a while, then opened a small gap for the floor-to-ceiling windows and closed the curtains.

little rustling noises.

After eating the rock sugar pear, Shu Nian washed the dishes. When passing by the floor-to-ceiling window, she closed it again and then returned to the room with peace of mind, changed clothes, and went out.

It took about ten minutes for Shu Nian to walk to the entrance of the hospital in the city center. She went up to the fifth floor and went to the psychiatric department for an hour of psychotherapy.

After it was over, Shunian went downstairs to the internal medicine department to ask the doctor to prescribe some cold medicine.

She doesn't know why, at this time, there are too many people, and it delays things a little. By the time the book was out of the hospital, the sky was already half-dark.

The street lights outside the hospital were brightly lit, casting long shadows on the concrete floor one after the other.The rain gradually weakened, pattering down, stained by white light, rushing down.

There are still people coming and going. but not much; it was very quiet.

Shu Nian wanted to get home before it was completely dark, so she ran much faster than before. Before opening the umbrella, she subconsciously looked around.

Suddenly, she noticed that there was a lonely person just like her.

The man was sitting in a wheelchair, with thin, slightly long hair on his forehead, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes. Half of his face was in the dark, and the other half was backlit. He looked angry and mean.

Silently.

Soon, Shu Nian looked away. Suddenly she remembered something, stopped her movements, and looked over again.

Her lips parted, and she froze.

... She seemed to know him.

Shu Nian tightened her grip on the umbrella, her eyes were dazed, and she froze in place. Her eyes stopped on the wheelchair under her, and she wanted to say something, but she was dumbfounded by this scene.

She doesn't know how many minutes have passed.

The man suddenly raised his eyes, and his gaze swept across her body. But it was unfamiliar, and he didn't even stay for a second. Her breathing was stagnant, and her throat was strangled by the ice-like eyes.

It's still raining.

There is the sound of wind around, accompanied by a biting chill.

Shu Nian took a deep breath, pinched her palms hard to cheer himself up, and walked over. The voice was small and gentle, with a bit of uncertainty: "Xie Ruhe?"

Hearing the voice, the man looked over and fixed his eyes on her, revealing his whole face. a very handsome man. Peach-blossom eyes, deeply folded double eyelids, a pale face—she had an obviously affectionate face, but her expression was as cold as ice.

The temperature around him seemed to have dropped a bit.

Shu Nian pursed her lips, a little at a loss, and subconsciously handed him the umbrella.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella? Or I—" The man didn't finish listening. 

His expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end. He moved the wheelchair and walked directly into the rain.

Shu Nian stood there for a while, but did not catch up. She looked away and didn't look at him again. She reached out and opened the umbrella, walked around the puddle in front of her, and walked towards home.

When Fang Wencheng drove the car to the entrance of the hospital, he happened to see a woman talking to Xie Ruhe.

The next moment, Xie Ruhe suddenly made a movement and came out to soak in the rain without making a sound. Fang Wencheng was taken aback by this unexpected movement and immediately opened the car door, holding an umbrella and running towards him.

"Master." Fang Wencheng covered most of the umbrella on him, and said anxiously, "Why did you come out and get caught in the rain..."

Xie Ruhe didn't speak, his body was half wet, and water droplets stained his dark eyes. The skin is pale, the purple bloodshot under the eyes can be clearly seen, and the curvature of the jaw is sharp and cold.

Fang Wencheng got used to it, and continued, "Mr. Ji called me just now and asked you to go back to Ji's house."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Fang Wencheng realized that Xie Ruhe's complexion was not very good-looking.

At this moment, he was looking out the window. Water droplets also slid down the side of the face and dripped from the chin. The eyes are like thick ink, stained with depression, touching the person in the distance.

Fang Wencheng followed his gaze.

—it was the woman who had just spoken to him.

Fang Wencheng started the car: "Master, do you know that lady? Do you want to take her with you?"

Xie Ruhe looked away and slowly closed his eyes.

His reaction was within Fang Wencheng's expectation, so he didn't continue to mention: "There was a small problem in the parking lot earlier, I went to help, so I wasted a little time."

"..."

Xie Ruhe's eyelids moved slightly.

"I don't know how many days it will rain." Fang Wencheng said helplessly, "The drainage system in the southern district has some issues, the roads are flooded, and there are always traffic jams. Mr. Ji is still waiting for you; I am not sure if we would be able to arrive on time."

The man in the back seat suddenly interrupted him: "Follow her."

Fang Wencheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize it: "Ah?"

Probably because Xie Ruhe hadn't spoken for a long time, Xie Ruhe's voice was slightly hoarse, deep, and thick, like red wine in the dark. He turned his head, unconsciously opened his eyes again, and looked out the window.

Two more words came from behind. The low, moist voice is tinged with coolness. 

"Follow her."
