three feet away

Xu Nuo seemed to have changed suddenly, although her change was not really a change to most people in the class.

Her withdrawnness intensifies, as if no one can come within three feet of her, even if she stands beside you and doesn't speak, it will give you a sense of alienation.

Zhang Qiming took her change as a sign of her strenuous efforts. He stopped forcing Xu Nuo to accept his own existence, and began to use the gentle curve method to save the country. He promised to study by himself and he also studied by himself. Promised not to speak, he did not speak.

Zhu Yuan once tried to study as hard as him, but he owed too much foundation since junior high school. In addition, he couldn't resist fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, so he couldn't keep up with the progress of the two of them in the end.On the other hand, Xiao Jing, she seemed to be very happy about Xu Nuo's change, and she began to ask Xu Nuo to help her with lectures frequently. Every time at this time, Zhu Yuan would lie on his seat and mourn why he didn't study well, while Xiao Jing was just shy. Smile and say a word or two of encouragement.

In the final exam, Xu Nuo unsurprisingly once again ranked top ten in the grade with excellent results, and following her was another dark horse, from the same class as Xu Nuo, who was even rumored to be Xu Nuo at one time. Boyfriend's Zhang Qiming.

When the results were handed out, Lao Wang smiled like a flower that was about to fade in the severe winter. His eyes under the glasses with thick beer bottle bottoms had deep lines.

When all the students were sitting in the classroom frivolously waiting to get their grade slips, he happily read to everyone a chicken soup for the soul on how to get into Fudan University, and he was completely moved.

Xu Nuo sat in his seat, drowsy from the lack of oxygen in the classroom.

Old Wang's stimulant hadn't finished injecting everyone, so she pushed open a gap in the glass window beside her in boredom, then leaned her face to the window, sniffing the fresh and cold air outside, and then, she stood on the opposite side. In the corridor of the first teaching building, I saw Yan Ruyi.

It's already winter vacation, Yan Ruyi is not the class teacher, logically speaking, she should have left school long ago, but she didn't, she appeared outside the high school classroom opposite, looking like she was waiting for someone.

She lowered the curtains yesterday, leaving only a small gap for herself to look out. She was afraid that Yan Ruyi would find out that she was peeking at her. Although this idea seemed outrageous, the distance between the two was close to 50 meters, and Yan Ruyi He was fiddling with his mobile phone seriously.But she was still afraid, afraid that her eyes would be too hot and burn herself and Yan Ruyi.

Promise has not seen Yan Ruyi for nearly a week since the final exam. She still remembers that on the afternoon of the last biology exam, Yan Ruyi happened to be invigilating their class. Only less than two meters.

She always felt that Yan Ruyi was looking at her from behind, with a look that the invigilator should not have, but she knew that it was just an illusion.She hurriedly filled in the answers in a restless state of mind, and handed in the paper in less than half an hour.

When she got up, Yan Ruyi called her from behind in a low voice, and took away her test paper.She didn't wait for Yan Ruyi to seriously read the test paper, she quickly walked out of the classroom in panic, and went downstairs as if fleeing.

When the results came back, she realized that she had sloppily filled in the wrong two options on the answer sheet, but even so, in this exam, she was still far ahead of No.2 in the grade in the single biology subject.What also surprised her was that she never received Yan Ruyi's compliments again.

When Lao Wang finally finished reading the Chicken Soup for the Soul, the whole class was boiling. Xu Nuo pulled his eyes back from the window and watched everyone get up from their seats to greet this month's holiday happily. She can't even be happy, she doesn't like to go on vacation, she doesn't like to go home, she doesn't like to stay in a place where she can't see Yan Ruyi, although, even if she sees her, she never talks to her.

When I came out of the classroom and came to the corridor, several male students in the class who are usually noisy suddenly screamed and shouted to the opposite side: "Sister Yan, who are you waiting for?"

"When will you treat us to a wedding candy, Sister Yan?!"

Xu Nuo was pushed by the crowd and rushed to the railing. She saw Yan Ruyi turning around and waving towards this side. She was still talking, but was drowned out by the noise around her.

"I've heard for a long time that the head teacher of the second class in the third year of high school is pursuing Yan Ruyi, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"It looks like the two are together, right? It's been a long vacation, and Yan Ruyi hasn't come home, and is still waiting at the door of the classroom."

"We must be together. Hey, do you know that guy? It is said that he has just graduated a few years ago and taught senior high school. He is also the head teacher. There must be a relationship at home."

"I don't know. Last time I met Yan Ruyi walking with him at the gate of the school. It's good enough to see. It's just that I failed to match Yan Ruyi."

Xu Nuo was half lying on the balcony, listening to the excited chirping discussions of the female students around him, and suddenly lost his strength.She felt a pain in her heart, a pain she had never experienced in the past 17 years, did Yan Ruyi fall in love again?Has she come out from the sadness of losing love last time?That's great, she's really happy for her, but she can't help but want to tremble, and why...

Finally, the crowd began to disperse after the commotion, and Xu Nuo heard Yan Ruyi's hoarse voice, and she said, "Go back quickly, have a good holiday, and have a good New Year."

Xu Nuo was rushed downstairs by the crowd with her head down silently. When she reached the first floor, she unconsciously raised her head and looked at the opposite teaching building, only to see Yan Ruyi going to the office side by side with a tall and thin man.

They don't look like a match at all!

Xu Nuo sneered, but Yan Ruyi liked it.If she likes it, it doesn't matter how good it is, but if she doesn't like it, so what?

"Are you okay? Promise?"

When Xiao Jing caught up with Xu Nuo, she asked this question head-on.

Xu Nuo looked at the red tip of her nose blown by the cold wind after running all the way, and asked dumbly, "Why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Jing pursed her mouth, blinked her big shining eyes at Xu Nuo, and said with a smile, "I'm just asking."

Xu Nuo didn't say anything more, turned around and continued walking towards the school gate.

"Many people like Teacher Yan, and I like it too." Walking side by side beside Xu Nuo, Xiao Jing spoke to herself after a long while.

"Do you like her too, promise?"

Xu Nuo paused, looked at Xiao Jing's face sideways, and thought about the reason why she suddenly asked such a question. Then, he smiled lightly and said, "Don't you know? I have a weird personality, and everyone likes it." Yes, I'm average, and I hate it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked forward quickly.

"Really?" Xiao Jing ran two steps behind her to catch up with her.

Xu Nuo remained silent and did not speak again.

"Promise, if you have nothing to do during the winter vacation, can I invite you out to play? My parents are busy with work, and I will stay at home for a week at most during the Spring Festival."

Xu Nuo let out a breath, looked up at the gloomy sky, and after a long time, he replied to Xiao Jing in a dull voice: Yes.

When Xiao Jing heard her answer, she was so excited that she couldn't control her hands and feet. She jumped up and down in front of her, and walked backwards facing her, "Then let's just say that, and you won't be allowed to go back on your word when the time comes."

Seeing her excited expression, Xu Nuo didn't know what to be happy about, but since she agreed, she still said indifferently: "Got it."

When Xu Nuo jumped off the bus, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the day in the countryside was even colder, with moderate wind blowing.

Xu Nuo shrank her neck and stomped her feet to adapt to the cold temperature which was completely different from that in the warm bus. There was a cry of children in her ears. She turned her head and saw two children in the nearby courtyard from a distance. , the older boy in the back chased the younger girl in the front and threatened her that he would throw firecrackers in her coat and hat, the one in the front was crying hoarsely, but the one in the back was laughing and laughing.

In the end, the older child didn't really throw the firecrackers into his sister's coat and hat, he just laughed at his sister's cowardice.Xu Nuo watched this scene silently, the corners of his eyes were wet.

She knew that her brother would never really want to hurt her sister, she knew...

When I got home, the yard was full of people, and my aunts and uncles were all playing cards and chatting by the fire in the yard. Before Xu Nuo came in, the yellow dog guarding the door was already barking outside the door.

Xu's father heard the movement and went out of the courtyard to look. Seeing that it was Xu Nuo, he turned around and walked in without saying anything. The head guy?"

Xu Nuo entered the room, greeted the guests with a blank face, and then went back to her room. Before the door closed, she heard her sister-in-law asking her father: "This child, why is he still silent?" What? Run to the room as soon as you get home."

Father Xu's answer was locked outside the door, and she promised that she didn't want to listen to it. She put down her schoolbag, closed the curtains, sat down in front of the desk in silence, and waited motionless for the dark, dinner, and this scene with her. Her irrelevant hilarious end.

After dinner, the guests dispersed, and Mother Xu helped Grandma Xu clean up the dishes in the kitchen. Xu Xu took the clothes and prepared to take a bath, but was stopped by Father Xu who was smoking outside the kitchen door: "Promise."

"Huh?" Xu Nuo stopped and stood in the yard two meters away from Xu's father. The cold wind blew the bamboo in the backyard, and the dead branches and yellow leaves made a rustling sound.She stood there without speaking or moving, silently waiting for Dad Xu to ask her a question, looking stubborn and lonely.

"How was the test this time?" Papa Xu took the last puff of his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke. He casually threw the cigarette butt in his hand and stamped it out, and asked Xu Nuo.

"Fortunately."

"Can I go to college?"

"do not know."

"How can you not know this?" Papa Xu was anxious, lowered his head, lit another cigarette, and took a deep breath.

Xu Nuo stood in the middle of the dark yard, smelling the faint smell of smoke, and stopped talking.

"In the past, Xu Yan had good grades. If you say so, it's fine. Now, you can't say such things anymore. Our Xu family can be admitted to university no matter what."

Xu Nuo lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Got it."

Mother Xu came out of the kitchen, dragged Father Xu into the room and said, "Oh, what are you talking about after drinking too much, promise is tired, you let her take a bath and rest."

Xu Nuo was saved, and just as he was about to go to the bathroom, he heard Xu's father yelling loudly: "Don't let me say a few words? You are such a big person, and there are a large group of people sitting in the room. Who has she greeted? One day With a sad face at night, who owes her?! No one in this family owes her, only she owes me!"

"If you can't, then transfer to another school. If you study in such a crappy school, you will be a ghost if you pass the exam! Go tell their class teacher when you start school, transfer!"

Xu Nuo listened to the voices in the kitchen, looked up at the dark sky, felt a little out of breath, she took two breaths desperately, chased into the kitchen, mumbling and throwing wine while facing him Xu's father shouted angrily: "Dad."

The kitchen suddenly fell silent, and Grandma Xu, who was washing the dishes, also stopped what she was doing.

Xu Nuo raised his hand and wiped his eyes, and tried his best to control his voice smoothly: "I can be admitted to a key university, I promise, as long as you don't transfer me."

"Nuo Nuo..." Xu's mother turned to look at Xu Nuo, her eyes were red and she wanted to speak to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo turned around in her pajamas and walked quickly to the bathroom: "I promise..."

When the hot water from the shower head poured on the flesh, Xu Nuo finally couldn't help squatting down. She hugged her trembling body, biting her lip so as not to make a sound.No, she can't see Yan Ruyi, even if she is with others, even if she doesn't talk to her, even if she doesn't get her praise no matter how hard she tries, she still can't see Yan Ruyi.
