three feet away

Before returning to school for evening self-study after the National Day, the homeroom teacher Lao Wang brought the news of this week's round of "Green Flies".

The atmosphere in the class, which was originally lifeless due to the existence of the head teacher, suddenly changed drastically, and everyone cheered and applauded.The screaming finally stopped after Lao Wang knocked on the podium several times in succession.There are still many people whispering in the classroom, discussing how to spend this sudden one-week vacation.

Zhang Qiming leaned on Xu Nuo's table with a happy smile and asked her: "Nuo Nuo, which area do you want to go to? How about we all apply to the junior high school?"

Xu Nuo raised his head, pulled his gaze away from the textbooks on the table, looked at Zhang Qiming and said, "Whatever."

If he promised to say whatever he wanted, he agreed, and Zhang Qiming smiled brighter, stretched out his 1.8-meter-high long legs and kicked Zhu Yuan's feet under the table: "Hey, you can tell the squad leader later, we Three together. I’m in charge of the ping-pong field in the playground of the junior high school, where there are many trees and it’s cool.”

"Okay!" Zhu Yuan nodded resolutely, then licked his face and asked Xu Nuo: "How about calling Xiao Jing?"

Xu Nuo looked at him sideways, and replied two words like he had just answered Zhang Qiming: "Up to you." Then he lowered his head again.

Seeing that she was obviously distracted, Zhang Qiming stretched his neck to look at her desk: "Why are you looking so serious? It's been quiet all night, and you haven't been out of the classroom?"

Xu Nuo didn't hide anything. He directly picked up the textbook on the table, shook it facing Zhang Qiming, and lowered his head again.

Zhang Qiming looked at the top of her buried head again, his eyes widened in shock, and asked in an incredible tone: "Xuan promise that you are actually reading biology textbooks?"

Seeing Zhang Qiming's surprised expression, Zhu Yuan glanced at him with a fussy look, then turned his head and took out an exercise book from Xu Nuo's desk, opened it in front of him, pointed to the black pen on it and said:

"She didn't just read the textbooks. She bought the exercise books at the bookstore outside the school in the afternoon. She has already done more than half of this evening self-study."

Zhang Qiming raised his hand and flipped through a few pages in a row, raised his head and propped his chin to think for a while, and then asked Zhu Yuan: "Have we learned the fifth chapter?"

Zhu Yuan shrugged and denied: "It's only been a month since the school started, and I've only learned a quarter of the course."

"Isn't it?" Zhang Qiming's eyes widened now, under the curtain of the non-mainstream bangs, a terrified expression appeared on his handsome face.

"Promise that you took the wrong medicine, or was it stimulated by something? You actually bought the exercise book by yourself and taught yourself so many chapters?"

"I just said that something is wrong with her recently, and she suddenly became fond of studying." Zhu Yuan echoed beside him, kicking his feet and rocking the chair back and forth.

Xu Nuo memorized the composition of the cell wall in front of him in his heart, and then closed the book after confirming that it was correct. Finally, he looked at Zhang Qiming seriously, and replied with a smile on his lips: "I just think that this subject is quite good. interesting."

Zhang Qiming stared at Xu Nuo's smiling face in surprise, and it took him a long time to realize that she was really smiling when she spoke just now, then raised her hand in disbelief and touched Xu Nuo's forehead, then touched his own, after confirming that she didn't have a fever He suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice: "I knew that one day the promise I met would come back."

Xu Nuo looked at his face, put away the smile on his lips, and didn't speak.

Zhu Yuan looked at this and that inexplicably, and asked blankly: "What charades are you playing?"

"It's okay, let's study hard in the future, Zhu Yuan." Zhang Qiming suddenly grinned and smiled happily. While speaking, he tilted his head slightly to look at Xu Nuo, with relief in his eyes, and more, undisguised admiration .

After washing up and before going to bed, the roommates in the dormitory were still in a state of high excitement. The news of the "green fly" brought by Lao Wang was like the first firework on New Year's Eve, igniting a very lively year.

Xu Nuo lay on the bed, listening to five young girls chirping in his ear discussing how to spend this week, at the same time, he swiped the screen of his mobile phone and logged into his mobile QQ.

During the National Day holiday, Xu Nuo chatted with Yan Ruyi on QQ almost every day as a netizen. Yan Ruyi seemed very busy, and the reply time was uncertain, but it was always warm and slow.

But yesterday she suddenly changed the original inspirational signature to the depressing three words "it's over".

Careful promise found out and pretended to ask her casually, she said that she was broken in love.Then it went offline.At that moment, Xu Nuo's heart ached.She sent her many pale comforting words, but they all fell to the ground. For the next two full days, Xu Nuo never saw her go online, so she was waiting for her.

Looking at the gray head of the fat pink rabbit on the top, Xu Nuo felt a little lost.

I don't know if it was because she sent too many messages and was blacklisted by the other party, she didn't dare to try to send her a message.She clicked on the dialogue again, and watched the passage where the rabbit funnyly said that she was too fat in the initial chat, after reading it a few times, she couldn't help but start secretly laughing again.Yan Ruyi is obviously so thin, but she still thinks she is fat. I really don't know what thinness looks like in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo stretched out her hand and pinched her thighs. The tight flesh on her curvaceous legs, which other girls usually envy, made her a little discouraged. She weighed herself in the pharmacy opposite the bookstore in the afternoon. With a height of 165 centimeters, she is just one hundred and four catties.Maybe it would be better to be thinner?

Just as he was making a promise to think wildly about whether to increase the 800-meter long-distance run before morning exercises to 200 meters, the pink rabbit head on the screen lit up.

Like a beggar who has been hungry for three days and three nights and suddenly saw a roast goose, she stared at the screen with sparkling eyes.

"Hi, good evening." Before she had time to think about whether this was okay, she had already sent that greeting.Then happily waited for the other party to reply.

However, time passed by every minute and every second, she waited until the joy in her heart completely receded and the melancholy gradually crept into her heart, until she was completely depressed, and the other party's profile picture never shook for her once.

The teacher of the dormitory management checked the wards and told each dormitory to turn off the flashlight and stop talking, and the promised mobile phone had to be temporarily turned off.

Until there was no more sound in the corridor, and there were slight snoring sounds in the dormitory.Xu Nuo took out the phone from under the pillow, retracted his head completely into the bed, and slid the phone away again in the dull air, and there was nothing dancing on the screen except Zhang Qiming's profile picture of a non-mainstream handsome guy.

Xu Nuo suddenly felt that her nose was a little wet. She closed the phone in panic, wiped her eyes with the corner of the quilt, bit her lip and couldn't stop crying.The tears that she desperately held back in front of Xu's mother that night finally fell freely at this moment, but what frightened her was that she didn't know the cause of the pain in her left chest and the inexplicable tears.

The self-study ended early the next day. Students in Class [-] and [-] of Senior High came in groups of three to five. Each group carried a set of desks and chairs, took a broom and mop, locked the classroom door, and infiltrated into every corner of the school to start their work. A week in the life of a "Green Fly".

The so-called "green fly" is a school's long-standing rules. School hygiene is respected by everyone. Every week, a whole class of students is arranged to infiltrate every corner of the school, such as the grove where boys and girls always go in to whisper, fresh The small garden behind the public toilet that few people go to, clean up the garbage or broken branches inside, mop up the flower beds, and give all students a clean campus environment.

The reason why the students jokingly called it "green fly" was because the school leaders were afraid that other students would skip class to fish in troubled waters, so they gave each student in the class on duty for the week a green sleeve with the words "cleaner" printed on it. Most of these students with sleeves shuttled around every corner of the school. Over time, there was a health activity called "Green Fly", which sounds disgusting but is really popular with everyone.

No matter how dirty the school is, these children still have the joy of cleaning, because they don't have to go to class, take exams, or do homework, and because there is actually not so much garbage to clean up.After each group is cleaned, they only need to keep it. In the rest of the time, everyone is in class, they play football and table tennis, no one competes for the field, and they are naturally happy.

Before leaving the venue, Lao Wang reminded me that the mid-term exam will not be long after this week, and everyone should consciously bring books to the small venue to read. As a result, the students in this class with a more average class style in a school with an average school spirit , only two or three sparsely brought books.

After the classroom door was locked, Lao Wang stood in the corridor on the fourth floor and watched his students run away like crazy carrying desks and chairs, beating his chest and beating his feet.He had just been transferred from junior high school, and he needed to get some grades to go to a key class or a higher place, but this group of students really didn't give him any hope.

Xu Nuo, holding a broom, and Xiao Jing, who was holding a trash can, walked side by side behind Zhang Qiming and Zhu Yuan, who were tall and burly, looking very interested.

She cried for a while last night and fell asleep, but she woke up this morning and still didn't receive a reply from Yan Ruyi, she was in a bad mood.

Xiao Jing was a little surprised when she learned that she was assigned to the group with Xu Nuo. She and Xu Nuo were not familiar with them, so she could only bite the bullet and join with the trash can, and naturally said nothing.

As for Zhang Qiming and Zhu Yuan, one was carrying the table and the other was carrying the stool and chattering non-stop in front.

The four of them chose one of the grass corridors among the flower beds in the junior high school playground. As soon as they put down the table, Zhang Qiming reached out to take the broom in Xu Nuo's hand and asked her, "Nuo Nuo, do you want some water?"

Xu Nuo shook his head, and after looking back and forth at the teaching building of the junior high school several times, he silently retracted his gaze and said to Xiao Jing, "Let's go, sweep the floor."

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment before realizing it, grabbed the broom and followed Xu Nuo.

Zhang Qiming rubbed the back of his head, and muttered to Zhu Yuan strangely: "It was fine yesterday, why did you wake up like this today?"

Zhu Yuan looked away from Xiao Jing's petite background, and said with a smile: "We need to know why, is she still called Xu Nuo? Do you think we have guessed her mind over the past year?"

Zhang Qiming sighed, sat down on the table, tore off the "Green Fly" logo on his left shoulder, kicked the leg of the table, and said nothing.

The mild sunshine in October shone through the pergola above her head, making her body unbelievably warm, but Xu Nuo still couldn't get enough energy to appreciate the flowers and plants that she should have loved so much.

After Xiao Jing shoveled all the garbage that Xu Xu had swept into the trash can, what she saw when she turned her head was the beautiful and peaceful profile of Xu Nuo on the sunny pavement.

The breeze blew over her face, blowing the soft long hair she tied today to the corners of her lips. Her bright red lips and agar-like skin were like a painting carefully carved by a master. Through without affectation.

"Promise?"

Emboldened with courage, Xiao Jing called out Xu Nuo's name with a shallow voice as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping elves in Xu Nuo's body.

"Huh?" Xu Nuo looked up at Xiao Jing slightly, saw that she had already cleaned up the trash, wiped the flower bed beside her with the palm of her hand, and said, "Sit down."

Xiao Jing was obviously flattered, and sat down cautiously before asking, "Xu Nuo, did you ask the monitor to assign me to your group?"

"No." Xu Nuo replied truthfully: "It's Zhu Yuan, he said he likes you."

Xiao Jing's ears turned red immediately, as if she had been greatly wronged, she stood up and said angrily, "I don't like him."

Xu Nuo pulled his lips and smiled, squinted his eyes and looked at the green ivy leaves on the pergola above his head, and said silently: "whocare?"

The two were thinking about each other, and they were silent for a moment, then Xiao Jing suddenly pointed in the direction of the teacher's office in the junior high school and said strangely:

"Eh? Isn't that Teacher Yan? Why did she come to the junior high school?"

Xu Nuo was startled, and looked away in the direction Xiao Jing said. Yan Ruyi was coming out of the office and walking into the ten o'clock sun in the morning.

Xu Nuo had only looked at the green leaves and light spots for a long time, but suddenly looked into the distance and his vision was not clear.All she could see was Yan Ruyi staring straight ahead, walking out of the inner playground with gentle steps all the way.

His gaze was fixed on Yan Ruyi, and he followed him from the playground to the football field, and when he was out of sight around the corner, Yan Ruyi suddenly stopped.Look in the direction of the promise.

She saw Xu Nuo and Xiao Jing through the hollowed-out decorative wall and the intricate landscape trees.

Seeing that the teacher saw her, Xiao Jing quickly stood up and greeted Teacher Yan, and promised that she would just sit like that, looking at Yan Ruyi in a somewhat awkward sideways posture, without speaking or turning her head.

Yan Ruyi waved at the two of them and left.

Xu Nuo stared at the direction where her figure disappeared, with mixed feelings in his heart.Seeing her, she was really happy, because Yan Ruyi really looked good, but seeing her, she became unhappy again, because the flying rabbit has ignored her until now...
