three feet away

After lunch, Xiao Jing was called by some girls in the same dormitory to take a group photo. She hesitated to look at Xu Nuo, and then looked at those classmates. She was a little embarrassed, because the other party did not invite Xu Xu, and it was inconvenient for her to make an invitation. This means that if she leaves, the promise will be released.

"You go, thank you." Xu Nuo sat on the stone steps less than two meters away from Xiao Jing, raised his head and squinted his eyes, and waved to her.

"I'd better not go." Xiao Jing was still hesitating. She folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen in a tangled state, and kept stirring her fingers. Seeing that Xu Nuo was still shaking her head, she turned and asked her roommate: "Xuanuo, can we go together?" ?"

"We have no opinion."

As soon as the other side answered, Xu Nuo had already stood up from the stairs. She patted her trouser legs, and slightly pulled the corner of her lips at a group of people: "Thank you, I don't like taking pictures, Xiao Jing, you go."

Xu Nuo naturally knew that she would get a pair of blank eyes for answering like this, but she didn't care, she didn't like this kind of fake invitation out of politeness, and she didn't like anything that was forced.

The classmate over there obviously couldn't wait any longer, and impatiently urged Xiao Jing to ask her if she should go or not.

Xu Nuo picked up his backpack from the ground and put it behind his back, smiled at Xiao Jing, turned around and walked forward.

Xiao Jing anxiously shouted behind her:

"Then I'll find you later, and you can also call me, promise, do you have my number?"

"Oh, hurry up. People don't want to be friends with you at all, but you panic because of enthusiasm."

"Got it, got it." Xiao Jing replied in a panicked voice, and then she shouted at Xu Nuo's back: "It's okay, Xu Nuo, I have your phone number, and I will come to you."

Xu Nuo paused, Xiao Jing's words made her feel warm, she turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Thank you."

Seeing her turn her head to thank Xiao Jing, she was stunned for a moment, and then she narrowed her eyes with a smile. A pair of dimples were so deep that it could almost fit a broad bean. She waved her hands unconsciously by her side, and said to Xu Nuo: : "You're welcome, promise."

After Xiao Jing left, she walked slowly around the huge museum park by herself. A few minutes later, she came to a relatively quiet woods. There were a few tourists having lunch scattered on the bluestone path in the forest. She walked around the place where there were no people, and before she got out of the woods, she felt a gust of wind, and the leaves were rustling and rustling.

When the autumn wind blew across her face, she heard the chirping of cicadas, and smelled the fresh scent of sunshine and water, like the scent of lotus leaves.

She walked along the fresh smell for less than 200 meters, and saw a pool of clear water at the end of the forest. The wind with the elegant taste of autumn sunshine and lotus leaves came from this place. The clear water of the lake comes up.

The cicadas above his head stopped suddenly because someone approached him suddenly, Xu Nuo raised his head, looked in the direction of the cicadas in his unconscious memory just now, and then with his excellent eyesight, he saw the half-waist of a huge Metasequoia tree beside him. There was only a little fuzzy black dot.She stared at the cicada for a long time, motionless, and the little thing lying on the tree seemed to know that it was being stared at, suddenly started trembling, and began to cry out again for a long time.

"Promise, Xu Yan is still young, you let him, isn't he just a bug, you play for him."

"Yes, promise, you have to let me, you give me."

"Promise, why is your child so disobedient, if you ask you to give it to him, just give it to him."

"Nuo Nuo, listen to your father and give it to Xu Yan."

"Hee hee, I know it's mine."

When memories flooded into her mind like spring water, Xu Nuo lowered her head. She felt her neck was a little sore, and she didn't know if she had pulled her head for too long just now. Some nerves were being pulled, and for some reason, the corners of her eyes were sore.

She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, blinked her eyes vigorously, and then lifted her feet around the metasequoia trees around her and walked forward to the artificial lake in front.

Walking along the tree-shaded stone path by the lake, the more people go in, the fewer people come and go. The fish here are not as fearless as the fish in other places. It is promised to go around the one on the right When the woods on a slightly higher terrain turned a corner, something suddenly jumped under a lotus leaf under the left foot, and when it fell into the water, a small cluster of water splashed, which wet the upper of promised sneakers.

Xu Nuo was taken aback, and instinctively looked into the pond, only to see a red shadow rushing into the deep water quickly.

She took a deep breath, breathed steadily, lowered her head and took two steps forward. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she kicked her toes again to adapt to the suddenly wet touch on her feet.

When she raised her head again, she saw a familiar shadow at the corner of the woods, so familiar that at first sight, the heart that was beating slowly in the left chest was instantly like a water polo filled with water. A sudden pinch gave her the feeling of blood gushing for the first time.

Wearing earplugs, Yan Ruyi sat quietly on a round stone by the lake, staring motionlessly at the lake that was almost completely covered by lotus leaves.

Xu Nuo turned around and looked around. Although she knew that Yan Ruyi hadn't noticed her, she still took a step back as if she had done something wrong, found a tree, stood behind and stroked her unsteady breathing, and then He touched his chest to calm his heartbeat.

After 2 minutes, she adjusted her emotions and walked forward.

The distance between the two is getting closer, so close that Xu Nuo can clearly see that the wound on her left face has changed from bright red in the morning to dark red, but it is still vaguely soaked in some liquid, making it even more glaring. She suddenly remembered last night Yan Ruyi looked like crying bitterly, and then stopped abruptly.

She stood there for a minute, then walked to the right, found a tall metasequoia at the place facing Yan Ruyi's back, and stood behind it.

Yan Ruyi still looked at the lake motionlessly, promising not to know what she was thinking, her painted face was clearly gloomy, which was quite different from her usual appearance in front of everyone.

And obviously it was an autumn outing together, with so many teachers, she chose to come to this quiet forest pond alone to daze, so out of gregarious, probably because she was tired after wearing a mask for a long time.

Another gust of autumn wind blew up, and the corners of Yan Ruyi's white shirt jacket turned up, and her back suddenly moved.

Xu Nuo thought she was going to get up, so she quickly hid behind the metasequoia tree, waited for a while, and then leaned out slightly, only to find that she just changed her posture and didn't intend to leave.

Yan Ruyi stopped moving, and Xu Nuo became a little bolder. The posture of leaning forward like a voyeur made her feel a little tired. She simply walked to the Metasequoia tree, leaned against the tree and folded her right foot on the left. Standing on his feet, he boldly looked at Yan Ruyi's back.

She likes to look at Yan Ruyi secretly, standing in a corner she didn't notice, she can freely release the emotion of her young but full little daughter in her lustful and greedy eyes, even if Yan Ruyi has never Having noticed it, she is still willing to look at her like this.

One of the two sat by the lake, and the other leaned against a tree in the forest about ten meters away, and stayed motionless for two hours.

During these two hours, Xu Nuo hung up on Zhang Qiming's call, and also refused to answer a call from an unknown number that was probably Xiao Jing's, but she had adjusted the ringtone of the mobile phone to a very low level, and did not disturb him who had been in deep thought. Yan Ruyi.

It wasn't until four or ten minutes before the meeting time stipulated by the school that Yan Ruyi suddenly stood up from the stone, and at that time, Xu Nuo stared at her back, and his mind had wandered away.

In her sight, Yan Ruyi stood up, Yan Ruyi put away the earplugs, Yan Ruyi turned around, Yan Ruyi walked towards her, and Yan Ruyi stopped in front of her eyes.

She saw it all, but ignored it as if she hadn't seen it.

"Promise?"

Yan Ruyi called her a few times, but the promise was not clear at all. When she came to her senses, she was a little dazed, but instinctively raised her head slightly to look at Yan Ruyi's face, and replied in a daze: "Huh?"

Yan Ruyi couldn't help but sneered, she raised her hand to touch the soft hair on the top of Xu Nuo's head, circled her thumb and middle finger before retracting her hand, and flicked it lightly on Xu Nuo's forehead, using her usual face-to-face Xu Nuo's fugue all asked in such a helpless tone: "Why do you always fugue?"

Xu Nuo completely came back to his senses, Yan Ruyi stood less than [-] centimeters away from her, she suddenly felt a little short of breath, she unnaturally tilted her body, pulled the backpack on her back, in order not to be caught by Yan Ruyi Asking herself why she was here, she directly avoided Yan Ruyi's question and asked her, "Why are you here? When did you come?"

Yan Ruyi was taken aback by the question, and then smiled. She brushed her hair casually, then stretched out her hand and pushed Xu Nuo's shoulder to signal her to go back: "I didn't see you when I came, you just now Didn't you see me when you came here?"

"No." Xu Nuo shook his head flatly, "I didn't see it."

Yan Ru turned her head to look at Xu Nuo, and laughed again noncommittally. She didn't continue to ask the topic, but asked Xu Nuo casually: "How is it, is it fun?"

"It's okay." Xu Nuo followed her, and walked forward through the woods with her at a distance of less than [-] centimeters.

"Why didn't you go with your classmates? Where's your little boyfriend? Such a good opportunity, why didn't you run errands with you?" Yan Ruyi asked this question casually, as if Xu Nuo was not her student, they were not The teacher-student relationship, but just a friend with a little age gap, the tone is refreshing, there is nothing unnatural.

And this didn't bring any dissatisfaction or irony. The question stopped in Xu Nuo's ears, but it changed. She remembered that she told Yan Ruyi that Zhang Qiming and herself were not in a relationship. She is the person hidden in her heart, and she cannot and cannot be misunderstood.

Xu Nuo stopped, looked sideways at Yan Ruyi's bruised left face, and seriously called her name "Yan Ruyi."

"Huh?" As if she was used to Xu Nuo calling herself by her name from time to time, Yan Ruyi responded naturally, turned her head to look at Xu Nuo, and waited for her next words with a serious expression.

Cicada on the top of her head was still screaming loudly, Xu Nuo suddenly became agitated, she lowered her head, kicked her feet, and struggled for a while, she really wanted to confess to Yan Ruyi, to tell her that it was impossible for her to be with Zhang Qiming , because she was always with her, but she didn't dare, she was afraid that Yan Ruyi would suddenly become what all the teachers used to be, aloof and looking down on her with eyes with a sense of distance.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ruyi asked her softly when she saw her bow her head for a long time and stopped talking, showing her soft side as a teacher.

Listening to her voice that suddenly became gentle, Xu Nuo suddenly had the feeling of hearing the voice of the former psychological counselor. She immediately sounded the alarm in her heart, erected a high city wall, and raised her head to face Yan Ruyi's indifferent Said: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you seriously that Zhang Qiming and I are not in the relationship you think. I hope you will stop asking me in such an ambiguous tone why he is not by my side."

Yan Ruyi looked at Xu Nuo's suddenly indifferent and distant expression with surprise, and subconsciously squinted his eyes to probe Xu Nuo: "I always feel that you are too mature, Xu Nuo, a child of your age should be cheerful." Yes. If you have something on your mind, you can actually find someone to share it with, whether it’s a teacher or a classmate.”

Xu Nuo was indifferent, she raised her head, and searched for the cicadas that kept shouting on the Metasequoia tree above her head, but she couldn't see their traces for a long time, she lowered her head a little dejectedly, staring at her toes with the same face, feeling a little sad the question:

"Yan Ruyi, will you hate your own brother because a cicada was robbed?"

"No." Yan Ruyi replied easily, although she didn't know why Xu Nuo suddenly changed the subject.

"How about ten?"

"It's okay, you said that you are your brother."

"How about a hundred?"

Yan Ruyi narrowed her eyes even tighter, she lowered her head, looked at Xu Nuo's head that was almost buried in her chest, and suddenly realized that this might be the reason why she was so mature and unhappy, she tentatively asked: "Xu Nuo, Do you have a brother?"

Xu Nuo raised her head, she smiled at Yan Ruyi, and replied: "No." Then, she turned around quickly and left.

Yan Ruyi stood where she was, unable to recover. I don't know if it was because the back of the girl who was running away in front of her was thin, or because her eyes were red when she just raised her head and smiled at her, and she was as cautious as a hedgehog when she turned to avoid her eyes. The appearance of protecting her privacy may also be that as a teacher, she saw her students suddenly wronged in front of her eyes. In short, she suddenly felt a little distressed.
