three feet away

Xu Nuo, who was eager to escape from sobriety and reality, quickly fell into a sleepy state in the small and hypoxic space of the bed.

She had a long dream between half-dream and half-awake, saw the podium, saw the camphor, saw the gentle smiling eyes, and heard a sentence that changed the trajectory of her life: Come on, I know you are smart, promise.

The dream was very long, from the bright sunshine at the beginning to the continuous rain in the end, but it was only a blink of an eye. Xu Nuo frowned in her sleep, and her pajamas were wet with sweat. The sweat was uncomfortable, but the dream pulled She couldn't get out, she saw herself running, chasing the shadow of a person, she shouted her name hoarsely, but that person got into the car without looking back, the shadow of the car running away , crushed her young and immature heart, she turned her head in severe pain, and saw a face that was as immature as herself but beautiful, the owner of that face was smiling at her, smiling, but it turned into crying , the unbearable pain stung her nerves, she said: Promise, you will never owe me anything again...

"sorry!!"

The dream stopped suddenly, Xu Nuo sat up suddenly, panting heavily, the room was terribly dark, she felt a little dizzy, her eyes seemed to be lost in the spinning steel balls rolling non-stop, buzzing sound Made her feel sick.

There was a loud knock on the door, and Xu Nuo turned her head slowly mechanically. She couldn't tell whether the sound came from her own door or from the next door. The wet hair on her forehead was dripping with cold sweat. On the tip of her nose covered in fine sweat, she blinked and shook her head. Before her chaotic mind could figure out where the increasingly intense knocking sound came from, she had lifted the quilt like a puppet and got up to press the light. Bedside lamp, go to the door.

The door opened, and Xu Nuo stood inside the door, looking at the hand raised in front of him that was about to continue knocking on the door, and the owner of that hand, he felt that the tinnitus was getting worse.

"It's so late, what's the matter, Director Yan?"

Standing in place, Xu Nuo took a look at Yan Ruyi's embarrassed appearance wrapped in a cotton nightgown, raised his heavy eyelids and glanced at the closed door behind her: "You are...going out to do business and lock yourself outside?"

Raising his hand to touch his chin, seeing Yan Ruyi's trembling lips open and close, Xu Nuo shook his head, unable to hear what she said: "Do you need me to call the front desk service for you?"

As she said that, she turned around, patted her ears lightly, and walked into the room: "But, shouldn't there be someone in your room? What about others? Asleep?" Picking up the phone by the bed, Xu Nuo paused. Suddenly, sitting on the edge of the bed, she suddenly looked up with a wicked smile and looked up at Yan Ruyi, who followed her into the room and stood at the end of the bed. Her hair was still a little wet. It seemed that she had just taken a shower, and she was wrapped in a nightgown, indicating that she was ready to go to bed. Now, thinking of the scene I saw before going to bed, Xu Nuo really couldn't think of any reason for her to come knocking on her door dressed like this in the middle of the night, and her condition didn't look very good, her eyes were red, His lips trembled, similar to his sweaty embarrassment, as if he had just been stimulated by something.

Blinking, Xu Nuo stretched out his fingers to dial the phone at the front desk: "Could it be that your partner came to the hotel to find you at night, just to quarrel with you? It stands to reason that the two of you should have a sweet fight Is it the tenderness of the newlyweds?"

As soon as the voice fell, the light in front of her eyes dimmed a little. Before Xu Xu's dull brain had time to react, the phone in her hand had been snatched away by Yan Ruyi and put on the main unit. The cold body that rushed forward hugged tightly, and the sudden weight caused the unsuspecting two people to fall on their backs on the bed.

Xu Nuo was stunned for a few seconds, and after realizing what had happened, he tried to sit up while propping up the bed with one hand, and pushed Yan Ruyi's body pressed against him with the other, and said with a sneer, "Teacher Yan, are you really drinking too much? Look Do you know who I am and just pounce on me like this?"

Yan Ruyi's wet hair was cold. I don't know if it was because he had been standing outside the door for a long time or for other reasons. The only temperature that Xu Nuo could feel belonged to her was the heart-warming coolness.She seemed to be very cold, her body trembling slightly holding Xu Nuo, her messy hair touched Xu Nuo's skin, and the cold touch made her tremble too.

Xu Nuo's pushing and shoving actions paused, she tilted her head slightly, and looked at the silent woman with her head buried in her chest, feeling a kind of humiliated anger and unconcealable heartache.She tried to push her to the side again, Yan Ruyi's body slid a few centimeters in the direction of her force, but before she had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the man had already moved his body to hug her tightly again, repeating this After two times, Xu Nuo was completely furious. Angrily, she pushed Yan Ruyi away from her body with all her strength, got up and walked towards the door.

The door opened, she walked towards the opposite door without the slightest hesitation, and slammed on the opposite door: "Open the door!"

Yan Ruyi ran out of the room in a hurry, hugged her from behind and held her hand to prevent her from knocking on the door, she raised her foot angrily, and kicked towards the door without any spare effort: "Open the door!! !!"

"Promise, he's drunk, promise, I beg you, stop knocking on the door, I beg you..."

The sound of Yan Ruyi's bitter cry hit her ears, like a thunderbolt hitting Xu Nuo's head, she suddenly lost her anger, turned around, and looked at the crying man in front of her, her heart felt like someone had poured glue on it, it hurt and swelled But she couldn't find a way to vent, she clenched her fist, turned her head and punched the closed room door fiercely, then shook off Yan Ruyi's hand and rushed back to the room, lifted the quilt and threw herself Get into the bed, turn your back to the door, curl up and hold your chest to take a deep breath.

Two seconds later, Xu Nuo heard Yan Ruyi enter the door, and the door was gently closed by her. The sound of her tentative footsteps was almost completely absorbed by the thick carpet, but she still caught the inaudible sound. Standing on the head of the bed behind her for a long time, she could hear the sound of her suppressed sobbing breathing, the indistinct sound was like invisible thin needles, pricking every inch of her skin, she was in pain, the whole body It hurts, but I don't know how to solve it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the two people still maintained their original posture. Neither spoke nor moved. The air seemed to be still, and the silence was terrifying.Until Yan Ruyi's trembling and trembling soft voice reached his ears, Xu Nuo finally couldn't lie down anymore, roared irritably, turned over and pulled Yan Ruyi into the bed, wrapping her tightly with his body and the quilt.

Yan Ruyi began to tremble the moment she was hugged tightly by Xu Nuo, she seemed to have just got up from the ice water, her whole body was as piercingly cold as a blizzard except her breathing.

Yan Ruyi tried to push away Xu Nuo's warm embrace with some repulsion, but Xu Nuo hugged him even tighter during the struggle: "Don't move."

Xu Nuo frowned, with one hand on Yan Ruyi's chest, and the other on her lower abdomen, the cold air on Yan Ruyi's body made her instinctively want to dodge, the man struggled and struggled uncooperatively, she could only bite her teeth He clamped her legs between his legs to prevent her from moving.

This action of holding Yan Ruyi from behind for nearly 10 minutes, Yan Ruyi's body began to warm up, Xu Nuo then slowly tried to loosen his numb hands and feet, turned over and lay flat.

The bedside lamp illuminated her eyes, Xu Nuo tilted her head, and glanced at Yan Ruyi who was still lying on her side with her back to her head, her long hair spread all over the pillow, and she looked so harmonious. Feel at peace in front of you.

She stretched out her hand unconsciously, and gently curled her hair with her fingertips. The smooth touch reminded Xu Nuo that Yan Ruyi liked to touch her head many years ago. At that time, she touched the top of her head. The feeling of the hair, is it about now?

Taking a deep breath, Xu Nuo hooked her fingers, the hair slipped between her fingers, she sighed and said softly, "You love him very much, don't you?"

"I saw you running towards him, just like the heroine in the movie running towards the sweet future."

Yan Ruyi's back trembled slightly, she turned over and made a promise, her thin lips were tightly pursed under her reddish eyes, and she remained silent.

Xu Nuo looked at her and showed her an indifferent smile that had been tried hard to conceal. She pursed her lips and continued: "Looking at it from a distance, you are a good match. He treats you very well, right?"

"Yan Ruyi, I really didn't expect that you would be the first client after returning to China. Fate always catches people off guard."

"In the past so many days, I thought about a hundred ways to meet each other, but I never thought that you would appear as my party A other than a teacher. This is an adventure, right? How much Wonderful fate, seven years ago you were my teacher and my girlfriend, seven years later you are a wife, a mother, but only my party A..."

"It's been so many years, I thought I didn't hate you anymore. Really, I went abroad in my junior year and haven't been back for four years. In my memory, I don't think I really thought about you in these four years. I don't seem to remember I remember what you looked like, but it was so strange, when your voice came to my ears again, I was so sure that the person behind me was you... and what saddened me the most was not that you had a new life and new love, The saddest thing for me is that I thought I had forgotten it a long time ago, but I didn't expect that when I saw you, everything would wake up again. What I hate is not you, but my own disappointment..."

Xu Nuo talked about her heart in the most gentle tone, she never thought that one day she would be able to face Yan Ruyi so calmly and tell her heart journey calmly like a mother telling a bedtime story to her children.But when this moment came, she seemed really calm again.

Warm tears condensed in her eyes, and Yan Ruyi turned into a fragmented image in front of her eyes. She blinked, felt the rapid tears slipping from the bridge of her nose into the pillow, and heard the slight sound of water droplets falling on the cotton cloth, She felt a little embarrassed, so she sniffed, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and smiled apologetically at Yan Ruyi:

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this, but you are actually very happy, at least you look very happy. But you still feel unwilling, obviously...obvious...we love each other so much...I admit that I still love you , I never stopped loving you, I miss you, I want to hug you desperately. But...but..."

"Yan Ruyi," hesitatingly stretched out her hand, poking her fingertips towards the face of the woman who was biting her lip and holding back her emotions. When her fingertips touched her delicate skin, Xu Nuo finally couldn't help sobbing, her trembling voice intermittently says:

"But Yan Ruyi, your daughter, she is like you. When she called her mother with a tender voice, she was so cute, so...so lovable...too late, too late, I didn't I have a chance, Yan Ruyi, I...I have no chance...I can't love you anymore, I can only hate you, I can only hate you..."
