three feet away

In physical education class, after the warm-up activities, all the students were instructed by the physical education teacher to carry out the project that must be completed in each class --- 800-meter running.

The team was not moving fast, Xu Nuo and Zhang Qiming ran side by side in the middle of the team, neither of them spoke.

Xiao Jing and Zhu Yuan followed closely behind him, and Zhu Yuan was telling Xiao Jing about their basketball game with great enthusiasm.

"Yeah, do you think that's Yan Ruyi?"

When the classmate's voice came from behind, Xu Nuo's running pace obviously slowed down. Every time Yan Ruyi was mentioned by a classmate, it was related to her gossip.

Sure enough, before Xu Nuo turned back, someone had already answered the previous person's question.

"It's her, hey, look, the person who picked her up is the class teacher in the third year of high school, right?"

"It seems to be too far away to see clearly."

"Looking at it this way, it's a good match."

Xu Nuo stopped and looked in the direction of the gossiping spectators, and saw Yan Ru sitting sideways on the bicycle from a distance. She was facing the playground. Most of them stopped and looked at her.

Xu Nuo recognized at a glance that the cyclist was the head teacher of Class [-] and Class [-] of high school. Although Xu Nuo had never looked at him closely, for some reason, when she saw him, she was sure that it was him.He looked very thin and tall, not muscular.But Yan Ruyi sat behind him, she looked so harmonious, she was wearing a long skirt with floral flowers, the hem of the skirt swayed and jumped around her ankles with the wind, she was extremely cheerful.

Xu Nuo lowered his head, glanced at his white running shoes, and ran forward with a blank expression.

Zhang Qiming ran up to her side by side with an inexplicable expression: "Hey, why are you running so fast all of a sudden, slow down, you'll be sweating all of a sudden."

"Tell me, is that Teacher Yan's boyfriend?"

Xu Nuo slightly opened his mouth and breathed extremely fast, trying to let the pain in his heart be exhaled out of his body with that repeated exhalation.She didn't answer Zhang Qiming's question, but raised her head slightly, looking at the row after row of white clouds in the blue sky, like the airplane clouds left by the plane passing by, she was silent, controlling her sad emotions.

Zhang Qiming didn't notice the abnormality of the promise, and didn't hear her answer his question, and he was running bored anyway.Then he asked: "I heard that person is the backbone of the chemistry group in the third year of high school. Do you know Nuonuo?"

Xu Nuo suddenly stopped and stood still. Xiao Jing who was following her almost bumped into her back. Zhang Qiming rushed forward two steps and then stopped, looked back at her strangely and asked: "What's the matter?" ?"

Xu Nuo raised her head, stared at Zhang Qiming with disgust for a few seconds, couldn't hold back Zhang Qiming's face, smiled awkwardly, and just wanted to ask her what's wrong, when she suddenly asked coldly and disgustedly: "Zhang Qiming, when did you become such a gossip? Who is driving her? Does her relationship with that person have anything to do with you?"

The classmates who came up behind them gathered together like watching the excitement, and everyone stared at the two protagonists of the story, not knowing why, but their eyes were probing and gossiping.

Surrounded by people, Zhang Qiming's expression became more embarrassing, his face turned pale, he spread his hands, and asked Xu Nuo in a helpless and slightly angry tone: "I...just asking casually, do you have to be so angry? "

"I'm not angry, why should I be angry?" Xu Nuo turned his head, glanced at the boring crowd around him, stabilized his emotions, squinted slightly and smiled mockingly at those people, and raised his voice faintly. Said: "It's just that I don't gossip so much, I like to snoop and discuss other people's privacy."

After the promise was finished, the crowd began to whisper, and then, they heard the whistle of the physical education teacher standing on the opposite side of the playground, and slowly ran away.

"What's the matter with you two?" Zhu Yuan saw that the two seemed to be in love with each other, and neither of them planned to back down, so he broke the silence with a loud voice, and he pushed Zhang Qiming: "Keep running, why are you standing there?"

Zhang Qiming took a deep look at Xu Nuo's side face, let out a heavy breath and said:

"You've changed, you've become I don't know you anymore promise, I don't know what you've been through during this time, you've become more and more self-closing, no one can get into your heart, you've almost completely shielded yourself in this The world is gone, haven't you noticed that you have become extremely emotional? Sadness completely wraps you up, as if no one can get close to you anymore. Although, you were unwilling to talk much before, but... you have really changed. After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Xu Nuo, turned around and ran away.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Jing stood less than one meter away from Xu Nuo, and asked her a little bit worriedly and timidly.

Xu Nuo turned his head, looked into Xiao Jing's eyes, smiled at her self-deprecatingly, and said, "You know everything, right?"

"What?" Xiao Jing's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, she didn't understand what the promise meant.

Xu Nuo shook his head, glanced at the playground, and said to Xiao Jing: "I'm going back to the classroom, please help me ask the teacher for a leave, just say I'm on my menstrual period."

"Oh... okay..." Xiao Jing nodded, looking at the back of Xu Nuo turning back to the classroom, the corners of her lips moved, she seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of Xu Nuo's words, but she was not sure.

On the way back to the classroom, when passing the teaching building of the third floor, Xu Nuo saw the bicycle, which was parked by the flower platform under the stairs of the third floor.Xu Nuo has been staring at it since he found it, as if Yan Ruyi was still sitting on it.

Yan Ruyi was sitting in his car, were they really together?

"Huh, promise?"

Hearing someone calling his name, Xu Nuo instinctively looked in the direction of the voice. It was the junior high school teacher that Yan Ruyi once boasted in front of her that he was her favorite student.She was sitting under a tree behind the flower bed, and Yan Ruyi was sitting beside her.

Xu Nuo stopped, stood where he was, nodded politely to the teacher, and walked forward after saying hello to the teacher.

The teacher asked Yan Ruyi strangely in a low voice: "Isn't it your favorite student? Didn't you have a good relationship before? Is it because you criticized others recently, so you seem to be full of grievances? I don't even want to say hello to you anymore." .”

"Nonsense." Yan Ruyi chuckled lightly, then sighed faintly, and said in a pitiful voice: "Perhaps... whoever made her suffer."

When Xu Nuo heard Yan Ruyi's words, the defense tower built in her heart suddenly collapsed, and her tears burst out instantly, making her unable to see the road in front of her clearly.

Who made himself feel wronged?Yan Ruyi.

She pretended to be calm and walked forward, her fragmented vision was blurred, she didn't raise her hand to wipe her tears, and even tried her best to keep her breathing calm, for fear that Yan Ruyi behind her would notice her abnormality.But she was still about to return to the second year of high school building, when she slammed into the corner of the flower bed at her feet, a tingling pain came from her calf, she instinctively lowered her head, and the blurred vision of water in front of her was stained with blood. There was a blush.She bent down and wiped the blood that flowed down her feet with the palm of her hand indiscriminately. As soon as she got up, she saw Yan Ruyi's blurred face.

"How did it happen? It's bleeding."

Yan Ruyi asked her anxiously, but she just looked at her with increasingly blurred eyes, but she was still unable to speak.

The teacher from the junior high school followed Yan Ruyi and bent over to look at Xu Nuo's wound: "Oh, a big piece of skin was broken, Ruyi, take her to the infirmary for treatment." Holding a tissue in the bag, she smiled at Xu Nuo and teased her: "Student Xu, is it so painful? Your eyes are red from crying."

Xu Nuo raised her hand and wiped her eyes, then lowered her head and finally let out a sob. She shook her head and didn't speak.

Yan Ruyi squatted down, looked carefully at Xu Nuo's wound, and answered with a frown after getting up: "Well, you go back, I'll take her there."

The wound was not deep, but a large piece of flesh was scraped off by the broken tiles at the corner of the flower table. Before the school doctor promised to disinfect her, seeing that her eyes were red and afraid that she would scream later, she gave her a vaccination in advance and said that it would be very painful. Pain, let her persevere.

Xu Nuo nodded and answered yes in a muffled voice.

When the normal saline and disinfectant were poured on the wound one by one, Xu Nuo felt the excruciating pain coming from the wound. She clenched her lips tightly and didn't make a sound, but couldn't help shivering in pain.The pain of sprinkling salt on the wound has more than doubled the original pain of the wound.

Yan Ru, who was standing silently watching from the side, saw her in so much pain, and suddenly stepped forward and pulled her to hold her head in his arms, and gently stroked her hair with his palm: "Be good, be good, it will be fine soon." , it will be ready soon."

Xu Nuo heard Yan Ruyi's voice coming from her chest, it was so gentle, yet so unreal.She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, endured the pain in her heart and feet, and insisted on not making a sound from the beginning to the end.When Yan Ruyi hugged her, she really wanted to put her arms around her waist, but why should she?With this little injury in front of him?Or with my own cheap tears?She sat there motionless, clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands, enduring the pain as well as the fragility and throbbing in her heart.

After the wound was treated, Xu Nuo's mood had completely stabilized. When the get out of class bell rang, she was standing by the sink in the infirmary to clean up the blood on her feet, while Yan Ruyi was talking to the school doctor, asking some precautions .

"Does it still hurt?"

Coming out of the infirmary, Yan Ruyi followed Xu Nuo, as if worried that she would go back to the classroom alone.

"It's nothing." Xu Nuo looked down at the gauze wrapped around his calf, then turned his head and smiled politely at Yan Ruyi: "Thank you, Teacher Yan."

Yan Ruyi's worried expression was stunned by Xu Nuo's faint sound, and then she showed a gentle and generous smile to Xu Nuo: "You're welcome, can you go back to the classroom by yourself?"

"Okay." Xu Nuo nodded, "Then I'm going back to the classroom."

"Okay. Be more careful in the future."

After turning around, she promised not to look back, she had already disturbed Yan Ruyi's chat with her friends, wasting their time, there was no reason to occupy her anymore, besides, she knew that turning around would be endless weakness.

Yan Ruyi's embrace was so warm, so warm that she even silently prayed in her heart that the school doctor would deal with it more slowly, but fakes are fake after all, things that don't belong to her, it's impossible to force time to stay for a while because of herself , it becomes your own, doesn't it?Yan Ruyi's embrace is a place of tenderness she can't afford.

After Xu Nuo walked back to the classroom slowly, Zhang Qiming was the first to discover the injury on his leg, and all the resentment disappeared after seeing Xu Nuo's reddish eyes.Zhang Qiming got up from his seat and stood in the middle of the aisle, staring at the bandage on Xu Nuo's leg for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and said to Xu Nuo: "Nuo Nuo, I'm sorry. I had a bad attitude just now..."

Xu Nuo was taken aback by his sudden apology, she thought for a moment in silence, knowing that Zhang Qiming thought she accidentally hurt her foot because he was in a bad mood, she pondered for a few seconds, raised her head to look at Zhang Qiming, yes He said: "You don't need to apologize, this injury has nothing to do with you. Also, I'm sorry, I didn't have a good attitude just now."

As soon as Xu Nuo apologized, Zhang Qiming felt embarrassed. He looked at Xu Nuo for a long time, shyly said nothing, and went back to his seat silently.

"Did Yan Ruyi accompany you to the infirmary?" As soon as Zhang Qiming returned to his seat, Xiao Jing's voice came to his ears.

Xu Nuo turned his head abruptly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Jing.

Seeing her misunderstanding, Xiao Jing quickly waved her hands to explain: "I didn't follow you, I just saw you coming out of the infirmary with her."

Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, she and a teacher from the junior high school happened to meet me."

"Oh…"
