three feet away

The students who were closer to the school were all picked up by their families, and there were only a hundred people left at the school. The school that was noisy just now became quiet for a while.

The school leaders arranged teachers of different grades to take care of the remaining students.There are not many students, and Yan Ruyi is not the class teacher, so she has no specific people to take care of, only a few young female teachers are arranged to wait for the tent materials brought into the school from outside.Tonight, it is estimated that many people will come to the school playground to spend the night.

Everyone in the class had finished, Lao Wang told Xu Nuo to follow him for a while and asked the school doctor to help her treat the wound, but Yan Ruyi smiled and told Lao Wang that she had contacted her friend in the hospital, and Lao Wang felt relieved to find His wife and children in junior high school went.

After Lao Wang left, Yan Ruyi discussed with his colleagues and asked them to help pick up the supplies, while he led Xu Nuo out of the school.

"Ruyi." Before he even walked out of the playground, someone behind him called Yan Ruyi's name.

Yan Ruyi stopped when she heard the voice and turned her head, Xu Nuo followed suit. It was the head teacher of the third year of high school, and it took him so long to find him. Someone in the class was probably injured.

"Zhao Xiao, why aren't you in class?"

"I'll take a look at you." The man ran closer, slowed down and walked towards Yan Ruyi and Xu Nuo, smiled shyly and touched the back of his head: "Are you okay, I just comforted the students over there, nothing happened Come and see you..."

"I'm fine." Yan Ruyi shook his head, pointed at Xu Nuo and said to Zhao Xiao: "My student is injured, and I'm planning to take her to the nearby health station for treatment. The school doctor probably won't be busy, and her The wound is a bit deep and long and may need a tetanus."

"Oh, it's fine, then, then you go, be careful, try not to enter the building, I don't know if there will be another strong earthquake, I will call you later." Zhao Xiao nodded, looking He glanced at Xu Nuo and smiled at her.

Xu Nuo politely returned him a faint smile that could not be any weaker, and did not speak.

After Zhao Xiao left, Yan Ruyi turned around and took Xu Nuo's hand and led her to the school gate.

Xu Nuo followed her in silence, without saying a word.That person seemed to like Yan Ruyi very much, and when he was talking, he was too embarrassed to look directly at Yan Ruyi. As for Yan Ruyi, she didn't quite understand her attitude.

The health center was full of injured people, and there were wailing and pain everywhere. If Xu Nuo hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Xu Nuo would not have believed that so many people were injured. The courtyard of the township health center, where people rarely see people, was suddenly full. When I got up, everyone in front of me was covered with more or less gauze, which looked very much like a shelter for the wounded in TV dramas.

Afraid of being scattered by others, Yan Ruyi took Xu Nuo's hand as soon as she entered the hospital. She looked around through the crowd in silence, and finally saw the person she was looking for by the tent in the corner of the yard. It was a middle-aged man. The woman, who looked about the same age as Xu's mother, was wearing a white coat and bandaging the wounds of the wounded.

"Doctor Yuan?"

Yan Ruyi walked around to her, bowed slightly and called out to the doctor.

The person called Dr. Yuan raised his head and glanced at Yan Ruyi, but before he could react, he glanced again before calling her with a smile: "Teacher Yan is here."

Xu Nuo learned from the conversation between the two that this Dr. Yuan is the mother of another student in Yan Ruyi's class. Yan Ruyi, please ask Yan Ruyi to take care of the children's studies.

After a brief inspection of Xu Nuo's wound, Dr. Yuan said to Yan Ruyi with some embarrassment: "Mr. Yan, although I am also a doctor, I belong to the Department of Internal Medicine. I haven't done such work as suturing wounds for many years..."

"Then, can I find other doctors to help me now?" Yan Ruyi looked at Dr. Yuan and asked sincerely.

Dr. Yuan looked around, and shook his head in embarrassment: "The health center is small, there are not two doctors, and they are busy now, so it may take a while. But don't worry, I will try my best to help you find a solution."

Yan Ruyi thanked her gratefully, and then pulled Xu Nuo to sit down on the flower bed next to her.

"Does it hurt?"

"No pain."

Xu Nuo said it didn't hurt, Yan Ruyi smiled, she raised her hand to help her straighten her messy hair, and gently took Xu Nuo's hand: "Is it numb?"

With warm palms in Yan Ruyi's hands, Xu Nuo lowered her head to look at her hand that was held in her palm and her slender knuckles that were still stained with her own blood, and slightly curled the corners of her lips: "Yes."

"Stupid." Yan Ruyi looked at her like a joke, but her eyes suddenly became dizzy. It could be seen that she was trying hard to control her emotions, but failed. She looked at Xu Nuo, her eyes sparkling:

"It's so dangerous, why do you still insist on running into the classroom?"

Xu Nuo smiled, lowered his head, and did not answer.

She couldn't explain why she ran inside. She only remembered that when Zhang Qiming told her that there was an earthquake, the only thing she thought of was Yan Ruyi. She was in the inner aisle. She was so thin, if someone pushed her , what should I do?

She didn't tell Yan Ruyi this, she didn't want Yan Ruyi to feel indebted to her because of this.

When I finally got to the doctor, the sky was completely dark and it started to rain lightly.

Xu Nuo and Yan Ruyi were led into the tent. With the help of simple lighting tools, the male doctor checked Xu Nuo's wound. After the examination, he turned back to get the tools from the medical box. While searching, he turned his back to the two and said wearily: "I don't have any more painkillers. The wound is a bit big. I'm afraid it won't be enough. It will be very painful when it's stitched up. But there's nothing I can do. If the wound isn't treated, I'm afraid it will get infected. Can the little girl bear it?"

Yan Ruyi looked at Xu Nuo worriedly, but Xu Nuo just shook his head and said it was okay.

The normal saline stained the wound, and the originally silent pain revived in an instant, Xu Nuo gasped in pain for a moment, and his face turned pale.

Yan Ruyi sat next to her, frowning as she watched the doctor use a cotton swab to clean her damaged skin carefully. The more she looked, the more afraid she was to look again.

After the painkiller injection penetrated into the flesh, Xu Nuo felt a little better. She could feel the slight tingling of the suture needle piercing into the flesh, which was still within the range she could accept.She thought it was that simple, but unexpectedly, what the doctor said was not lying to her.

The dose of the painkiller needle was not enough, and less than half of the suture was done, she began to feel severe stinging pain. Every time the suture needle pierced her flesh, she bit her lip and grunted.

Sweat slid down her face like rain, and she felt nothing but pain.

Yan Ru's eyes were already red early in the morning, she hugged Xu Nuo's head tightly, and comforted her softly, Xu Nuo kept trembling, and the sweat on his body almost soaked the clothes of the two of them.But she just didn't open her mouth and didn't want to cry out the pain. It was the same as last time, but it was clear that this time, she was in more pain.

Yan Ruyi felt that something was wrong, and looked down to see that she had bitten her lower lip. Anxiously, she raised her hand to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of Xu Nuo's lips, and sobbed to her, "Xu Nuo, be good, loosen your teeth. You You can shout, you can shout, promise, you are still a child, you don't have to be so strong..."

After Xu Nuo listened, he let go of his teeth tiredly, and when another needle pulled the thread into the flesh, Xu Nuo looked at Yan Ruyi and smiled, sweat gathered above her eyelids, and finally fell when she blinked, she looked very Pain, but still did not say anything, only clenched Yan Ruyi's hand.

After a long time, when the doctor said that at most two injections would be needed to persist, she opened her mouth and said to Yan Ruyi in a soft voice like a mosquito ant: "Yan Ruyi, I, have..."

After Yan Ruyi heard her words clearly, tears flowed down her cheeks instantly.She turned around, turned her back to Xu Nuo, lowered her head and covered her face, suppressing her voice and sobbing.

"Don't cry, it's okay. The wound looks big, and it's just a skin trauma, so it's not dangerous." A male doctor was disturbed by the crying of two very good-looking women, and finally insisted on keeping his eyes open. After the wound was sewn up and put on gauze, he finally straightened up and took off the mask and said to the two of them.

"Don't get water on the wound after you go back. If the blood oozes out, change the dressing. If it doesn't ooze out, change it in a few days. Come over tomorrow for a tetanus skin test, get an injection, and find a pharmacy that is open to buy it. Just take a box of anti-inflammatory medicine for two days."

When Yan Ruyi was told by the doctor, she felt a little embarrassed. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, then reached out to touch Xu Nuo's drenched forehead, looked down at her, and thanked the doctor repeatedly.The doctor just waved his hand, sighed, turned and walked away.

On the way back to school, the two still walked side by side, but no one spoke.

The rain was getting heavier, and the two of them were holding a sun umbrella given by Dr. Yuan, walking forward in unison in a tacit silence.

The cool wind blew under the umbrella with raindrops, drenching Yan Ruyi's clothes that were soaked after turning the umbrella to her side just to take care of Xu Nuo.Instinctively, she pulled at the corner of her clothes that was attached to her body.The naked skin of the two people rubbed gently under the umbrella, she moved half a point to the left, and then sent the umbrella in her hand to Xu Nuo's side, and most of her body was outside the umbrella.

Xu Nuo saw all her actions, and she wanted to laugh a little, but she didn't know why.Yan Ruyi wanted to keep a distance, so she acted angrily and moved to the right at her will, completely exposed to the rain.

The cold wind was blowing and she couldn't help shivering, Yan Ruyi didn't turn her head to look at her, Xu Nuo heard her sigh softly, and then felt Yan Ruyi took her hand in the dark, and the two of them were close together again together.

After returning to school, the tents had already been allocated. Yan Ruyi and Xu Nuo were placed in a small one-person tent with limited bedding and only one set. They came back too late and were not allocated a flashlight.

Xu Nuo sat in the middle of the tent, waiting for Yan Ruyi to bring back some work t-shirts from a nearby fabric factory. The two of them simply ate some biscuits, rinsed their mouths, and then changed into wet clothes to prepare for a rest.

Before going to bed, Yan Ruyi checked the injury on Xu Nuo's shoulder with the faint yellowish light of the phone screen, and made sure that she was not wet by the rain, so she relaxed and told her to sleep.

The raindrops fell on the tent with a ticking sound.Hearing the sound, Xu Nuo couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She never dreamed that one day she would lie under the same tent with Yan Ruyi. Too many things happened today. Looking back, it was like a distant memory, but the pain on her shoulder and Yan Ruyi's body touching her The feel of the skin is so real.

"Does the wound hurt?"

Yan Ruyi's soft voice pierced the eardrums, Xu Nuo shook his head in the dark.

"Well, when it's dawn, I'll help you find anti-inflammatory drugs."

"Thank you, Teacher Yan."

"... "

After that thank you.Yan Ruyi didn't speak any more, and promised to lie quietly on the sleeping mat, listening to the ticking rain above his head and the occasional conversation outside the tent, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Yan Ruyi didn't move at all, breathing slowly, as if she had fallen asleep.

"Yan Ruyi?" Staring at the pitch-black tent roof, Xu Nuo suddenly opened his mouth, calling Yan Ruyi's name out of nowhere.

Yan Ruyi gently moved the hand under the quilt, and answered her in a low voice: "Huh?"

"I thought you were asleep." She curled her lips and smiled, Xu Nuo blinked her eyes: "It's like a dream, you are lying beside me."

"Well, I think so too." Yan Ruyi replied in a low voice, she sighed softly, turned her back to Xu Nuo and moved aside.

Yan Ruyi's sigh made Xu Nuo's heart slightly sour, and the smile on her face became deeper. She took a breath, and her voice became moist:

"Yan Ruyi, I miss you very much."

"..." Yan Ruyi didn't speak, she turned her back to Xu Nuo and pretended to fall asleep.

"People like me make it difficult for you, right? I am a student and you are a teacher, so even if you hate it, you still have to face it, just like just now under the umbrella and now, you obviously hate any contact with me , but still have to, it’s ironic to hold the same umbrella with me and lie under the same quilt with me.”

"You said, if liking someone can't be obtained, and hating someone can't be avoided, who would be sad? I like you, but you hate me. Yan Ruyi, why do we need to know each other? God knows how to joke."

She heard Yan Ru let out a suppressed cry at the beginning, which made her feel heartbroken, but what could she do?She hasn't talked to her for a long time, she hasn't even looked at her for a long time, she misses her, although she is in the same place and breathes the same air as her, but the miss has never been as intense as it is now .

"Yan Ruyi, I will be admitted to a good university. By then, you must be married, right?"

"Yan Ruyi, I don't think that person is worthy of you at all. You are so beautiful and outstanding, like a colorful cloud floating in my sky, but that man is so ordinary. I can see that he likes you very much. Maybe more than I like you. You will promise him to be with him one day, right?"

"Yan Ruyi, I really didn't mean to break the balance between us. If I knew from the beginning that I would scare you like that, I wouldn't have confessed to you. I really don't want to bring trouble to others Go to trouble, not to mention that person is you."

"Yan Ruyi, you like good students. You said I was your favorite student, but why...why did you still not want to praise me again after studying so hard to become a dark horse in everyone's eyes?"

"Yan Ruyi, I like you so much, but liking you is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. You think I'm strong, but I'm not as pain-resistant as you see. I'm just used to pain..."

"Yan Ruyi..."

When Yan Ruyi turned over and hugged the promise, she hadn't finished the promise, she lay there in a daze, like a wandering soul without a soul.

"Sorry…"

Yan Ruyi's apology smacked of her bitter tears.

She kissed the promise, on that night when the whole country was in mourning.It might be absurd, but she kissed the promise and her student, the little girl who had just grown up but dared to give up and run to her.

On May 2008, 5, the day when the Wenchuan Earthquake occurred, in a small tent for refuge, it was still raining outside, and there were still aftershocks underneath.Her kiss was cold but tender and lingering, and her lips even carefully avoided the place where Xu promised to sew the stitches.

When Yan Ruyi kissed her, Xu Nuo finally had some reaction. When she realized what Yan Ruyi was doing, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged Yan Ruyi tightly with all her strength, wishing that there would be no more gap between the two of them. The longing that had been imprisoned for so many months was like a caged beast breaking through the cage, driving her young heart to let her Both herself and Yan Ruyi were almost out of breath, and then, she gave Yan Ruyi her jerky, crazy but extremely gentle first kiss seriously.
