three feet away

When going back to school, Xu Nuo was a little excited.

In late May, the sun was shining and her mood was even better.Yan Ruyi came back, three full days earlier than the school's scheduled start time.

Xu Nuo didn't ask her why she came back early, but only stepped on the bus back to school that afternoon when Yan Ruyi told her that she was already on her way back to school.

The aftermath of the earthquake gradually receded, and all the shops in the streets and alleys had reopened. Before entering the school, Xu Nuo accidentally caught a glimpse of colorful candies on the checkout counter of the nearby supermarket, and made a sharp turn at his feet, turning in.

When he came out again, there was already a lollipop stick hanging from the corner of his mouth.

She rarely snacks, especially sweets.But Yan Ruyi came back, and she was happy to see her in a few minutes.

The yard behind the teacher's apartment is as clean as the whole school, and there are still three days before the official class starts, and the students have not yet returned to school.

When passing under the shade of a large magnolia tree, Xu Nuo suddenly felt as if he was in a dream.

She remembered that once when she passed by here, she was called by Yan Ruyi and introduced to her friends that she was her favorite student. The weather that day was as bright as today.But today, it won't be like last year. Now, her face is like the sugar in her mouth, so sweet.

Stirring the candy in her mouth vigorously, she raised her head and looked towards the sky through the thick leaves of the magnolia tree through the gaps between her five fingers. The sunlight was between the fingers, between the green leaves, and in her heart.While the light was flickering, she stared at the sun and raised the corners of her lips slightly, then put her five fingers together to hold the brightest sunshine she had ever seen, and then, with her fists together, she walked quickly into the room next to the teacher's apartment. alley.

There has been no activity for nearly half a month, and the moss in the backyard has been exposed to the sun. The breeze blows from behind the tile-roofed house, agitating the dripping white shirts and light blue-colored rags hanging on the clothesline in the middle of the yard. The bed sheets are flowery, the breeze is blowing, and there is a faint fragrance of washing powder.

Xu Nuo smiled and stretched her neck and sniffed vigorously. She liked the smell, the smell of sunshine and Yan Ruyi.

The door of Yan Ruyi's room was open, and the curtains were blown slightly by the wind. When the wind came back, she could hear the front part of some music faintly coming from inside, relaxing and cozy.

With her right hand, Xu Nuo walked briskly to the door, Yan Ruyi's profile was imprinted in her eyes.

She was leaning over to write something on the desk behind the window sill, her expression focused and serious.

As she got closer, Xu Nuo heard the singing on the small speaker next to her: The wind is still blowing tonight, thinking of you is so gentle...

Yan Ruyi didn't notice her coming, so she promised not to disturb her. She leaned against the door frame, watching her so quietly, listening to the song that she played on repeat.She was unwilling to break the tranquility and beauty of this scene.

When the curtains are lifted by the wind, the sunlight will pass through the small gap and fall on Yan Ruyi's table and her shoulders. A blooming flower is drawn on a white shirt.

Xu Nuo looked at her peaceful side face, her slender white fingers pressing on the lesson plan, and the slightly scribbled lowercase letters left by her blue pen on the rows of red bars, all of which, All that makes her happy.

Until the song repeated for the fourth time, she and Yan Ruyi unintentionally hummed to the beat at the same time, after discovering each other's voice.The two silenced at the same time, one raised his head slightly, and the other lowered his head slightly. After seeing each other, neither of them spoke, only smiled naturally.

"Give you."

"What?" Yan Ruyi raised her eyebrows and asked with lowered eyebrows, glancing at Xu Nuo's empty palm.

"Sunshine," Xu Nuo said with a smile, then he curled up his fingers slightly as if he was holding something seriously, took Yan Ruyi's right hand with his left hand, and made a gesture of pouring something into her palm : "I brought you the sunshine from under the big-leaf magnolia."

Yan Ruyi raised the corners of her lips, cooperated with Xu Nuo, retracted her right hand with a serious face, made a movement of putting something into a decorative pocket on the left chest of her shirt, and then said seriously to Xu Nuo: "Thank you, I will hide it well." I won't lose it."

Xu Nuo saw her movements in his eyes, the corners of his lips stretched uncontrollably almost to the back of his head, and he glared at Yan Ruyi with a blushing face: "You are so stupid, Yan Ruyi."

Yan Ru raised her eyebrows one by one, looked at Xu Nuo and asked, "Who is stupid?"

Xu promised to be looked at neither the left nor the right, anyway, he didn't want to admit that he was stupid, he rubbed his left hand with his right hand, bit his lip and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, thinking of a way, he threw himself in front of Yan Ruyi with a grin, sorry He muttered, "Yan Ruyi, what should I do? I like you so much."

"..." Yan Ruyi was neither up nor down by her sudden coquettishness, so he could only put his arms around her and said with a smile: "You kid, are you a red kid? You're so weird."

Xu Nuo pursed his lips and did not refute.

"Yan Ruyi?"

"Ok?"

"I want to ask you a question." During the days when she was back on vacation, Xu Nuo took care of Yan Ruyi's development. Although Yan Ruyi accepted her, she was ecstatic, but in retrospect, she couldn't feel at ease at such a speed. .She worried that Yan Ruyi was temporarily moved because of her actions on 512...

"Ask." Yan Ruyi patted her hand, motioning her to get up from her arms, so as to make the question more formal.

Xu Nuo was a little guilty, she was afraid that Yan Ruyi would get angry if she asked this question, but if she didn't ask, she couldn't really feel at ease.If Yan Ruyi was only moved because of emotion, then she would rather not have this feeling.

"You, why are you suddenly willing to accept me...Accept that I like you."

After finishing speaking, Xu Nuo lowered her head, she was suddenly afraid of the answer Yan Ruyi gave her, afraid of disappointment, heartache, and even more afraid of having to lose.

Yan Ruyi was silent for a long time, Xu Nuo saw her fingers holding the pen tightly, she suddenly became nervous, unwilling to listen to this answer.So she raised her head and forced a smile at Yan Ruyi: "It's okay, I don't want to know anymore."

"Suddenly?" Yan Ruyi smiled wryly, put down the pen in her hand, and turned off the stereo under the corner of the window.She reached out and touched Xu Nuo's face. In the past six months, she seemed to have grown taller. When she was shoulder to shoulder, she was originally taller, but now, Xu Nuo is about a centimeter taller than her.

"You have grown taller, promise."

"..." Xu Nuo didn't understand the meaning of Yan Ruyi's words, she looked at Yan Ruyi with a bitter expression.

"It's been exactly 7 months since you left here last time. It took me 7 months to confirm that the person sitting in the back row of the classroom is handsome and has a nice name and looks promising. I made embarrassment in front of the students, a sensitive little girl who is not interested in studying but knows the learning situation of the classmates very well, what kind of feelings did I have?"

"When I was in college, there was a pair of lesbians in the school next door who did some extreme things because of their relationship. The whole school knew about it, and it had a very bad impact on the family. One of them even jumped off the building. I At that time, I couldn't understand them..."

"But for you, maybe there is a difference from the very beginning. It's just that I'm subconsciously afraid and don't want to admit it."

"But sometimes I'm more afraid of something, more and more, your confession and hug here, and the distance between our identities, I can only choose to push you away."

"But promise, you are different from anyone else, escaping makes it harder for me to control myself, but I am your teacher, I have to evade..."

When saying these words.Yan Ruyi kept her head down, her voice was very low, so low that her breathing became a little heavier, and Xu Nuo could hear it clearly.

"Let's not talk about that." Xu Nuo blinked, stretched out his arms to hug Yan Ruyi, smiled and took out a lollipop from his backpack and peeled it into Yan Ruyi's mouth.

"Go ahead and write your stuff, Yan Ruyi, don't worry about me."

Yan Ruyi looked into her reddish eyes, and didn't continue the topic: "Then sit down for a while, I still have some, just tidy it up."

Xu Nuo nodded, put his backpack on the desk, and casually took out a magazine from the desk to read. When he lowered his head, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a document.

"Yan Ruyi!" Holding up a stack of information sheets that Yan Ruyi put on the desk, Xu Nuo was a little out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Xu Nuo screaming her name, Yan Ru glanced at her sideways, then turned around and continued to prepare lessons.

"What's wrong?!" Xu Nuo laughed angrily. She walked behind Yan Ruyi with her chest in her arms, glanced lightly out of the window, and made sure that no one was coming back from the yard outside, so she pulled Yan Ruyi over from behind. Leaning in his arms, using the posture of himself standing and Yan Ruyi sitting, he bent down and put his chin on the top of Yan Ruyi's head, then hooked his left hand on Yan Ruyi's lower abdomen, and clacked the information in his hand on Yan Ruyi's stomach with his right hand. As in the teaching plan.

"look by youself."

Yan Ruyi glanced at the information on the table, her eyes showed a sly look, she raised her hand to grab Xu Nuo's right hand resting on her lower abdomen, raised her head slightly, looked into Xu Nuo's eyes with a bewildered expression, and asked earnestly: "is there a problem?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Xu Nuo became even more angry. He stretched out his right hand, raised Yan Ruyi's chin, and took advantage of the opportunity to impress her hard on her lips. After that, he continued to show his anger Rolling his eyes at Yan Ruyi with a bulging look: "Look for yourself, Teacher Yan."

"Oh," Yan Ruyi got the order, lowered her head, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips at an angle that Xu Nuo couldn't see. In order not to let Xu Nuo notice the strangeness, she took her index finger very seriously to move her cousin column by column. After pointing at all the information on the website, he coughed softly and said to Xu Nuo in a doubtful voice:

"The name Yan Ruyi, gender, female, ethnicity, Han, political affiliation, and party members are all correct. Look, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Here." Seeing that she still had an innocent face, he promised not to let her look for it anymore, and directly pressed his index finger on the column of date of birth, and then gritted his teeth to the trembling Yan Ruyi who was secretly laughing in his arms. : "Read it out."

Yan Ruyi shrank her neck and chuckled: "Birth date, enm..." At the critical moment, she stopped, raised her head again, looked into Xu Nuo's eyes and asked innocently: "Don't you know these numbers? Promise?"

"..." Xu Nuo was defeated by her deliberately funny appearance, and sighed, hooked her neck and held her face in both hands, turned her eyes towards her, lowered her head and gently kissed Yan Ruyi's eyes: "Take your eyes Shut up, don't look at me with such an innocent expression, Yan Ruyi, you bad woman."

Yan Ruyi smiled silently with her mouth slightly open.

Regarding Yan Ruyi's age, what Xu Nuo never thought of was that she was only a little over two years older than him.

This woman who called herself a little kid all day long stood on the podium and talked with first-class temperament, but she turned out to be a little girl from 88!

She always thought that Yan Ruyi was like 90.00% of the five people, who belonged to the age of 23 after graduating from university, but she didn't expect that she had been teaching books for almost a year, and she was still almost 21.

"Tell me," let go of Yan Ruyi's face, put his head against Yan Ruyi's forehead, Xu Nuo smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to poke Yan Ruyi's heart with his index finger: "When you call me a child, will this place hurt?" ?”

"No." Yan Ruyi finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up with a laugh and promised, "Don't say you are two years older, even if you are only two hours older than you, you are still a child, and I am still your teacher. "

"Really?" Xu Nuo tilted his head, squinted and asked Yan Ruyi with a smirk.

Yan Ruyi stared at Xu Nuo's face, and answered solemnly: "Isn't it? I'm still Yan Ruyi, and I'm still the biology teacher of Class [-] and [-] of Senior High. When the class starts, you can grab two classmates and ask them. Look at them..."

"I don't ask them." Xu Nuo was so fascinated by Yan Ruyi's serious nonsense at this moment, she leaned against Yan Ruyi with a funny face, and then hugged her into her arms while she was not paying attention. inside.

Yan Ruyi let out a soft sigh, and gave Xu Nuo a reproachful look: "I haven't finished my sentence yet, it's really impolite for you child to interrupt others."

Xu Nuo raised the corners of her lips arrogantly, hooked Yan Ruyi's hand and moved forward lightly, Yan Ruyi then moved forward for half an inch, only a thin shirt and T-shirt remained between the two of them, and when they breathed, they could clearly Feel the rise and fall of the opponent's chest.

Xu Nuo smiled evilly and stared at Yan Ruyi for a moment, which made her a little embarrassed. She put her hands between the two, pushed Xu Nuo back, and a blush appeared on the suet-like skin: "What are you looking at me for?"

Xu Nuo pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and quickly pecked her lips: "Nothing."

After answering a sentence, Xu Nuo lowered her head again, rubbed the tip of her nose against Yan Ruyi's face, and then leaned her lips to her lips again. This time, she did not easily spare Yan Ruyi. When her four lips met, she The corners of her lips were bent, and the tip of her tongue gently pressed against Yan Ruyi's slightly closed teeth. Yan Ruyi couldn't help being led to play with the tip of her tongue, snatching the sugar that had melted more than half: "I just want to ask you..." Yan Ruyi When Ruyi wanted to escape, she raised her hand against the back of her head, licked her lips lightly, sniffed the strong strawberry milk fragrance between Yan Ruyi's lips and teeth, pressed her throat with a smirk and made an extremely charming voice "Yan Ruyi, is the candy I gave sweet? Also, do you think my kid's kissing skills have improved?"

As soon as the question of the promise came out, Yan Ruyi's ears turned red: "I really love to hold grudges."

Xu Nuo chuckled lightly and hooked her waist, looked at her blushing ears, couldn't help lowering his head and biting lightly: "We, each other. Do you still remember when you teased me in the tent ten days ago? Yan Ruyi, I really hold grudges~"

"..." Xu Nuo swallowed what he wanted to say, and Yan Ruyi wanted to cry.
