three feet away

When Xu Nuo led Zhou Qingming upstairs, she happened to see Zhang Qing who had just come out of the next dormitory at the door of the dormitory. The three of them met each other. He smacked his mouth, then raised his hand, and greeted Zhou Qingming loudly: "Here we come."

Zhou Qingming's ears felt hot from Zhang Qing's ambiguous gaze, she turned to Xu Nuo's back, nodded with a blushing face, and hummed obediently like a cat.

Xu Nuo glanced at her sideways, put his hand behind him, gently grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to a position beside him, then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Qing, and said in a steady tone: "She will be there tomorrow. There is no class in the morning, so come and play with me."

Zhang Qing shrugged, shook the bangs on his forehead, handed the potato chips from the next bedroom to Zhou Qingming, and said with a smile: "Welcome, Xiao Qingming, do you want some potato chips?"

Zhou Qingming shook his head, looked at Xu Nuo embarrassedly, and then said to Zhang Qing, "Sorry to bother you."

Zhang Qing shook his head, pushed open the door of the dormitory and walked in, turned his back to the two of them and said, "What are you bothering me? The handsome guy in this room can't come, can we not welcome the little beauty?" He said to the one who was washing on the balcony. The two drank together: "Here are the guests, hello everyone."

The two girls on the balcony turned their heads together when they heard the commotion. One of them was still holding a toothbrush in his hand, foaming from his mouth, and the other was applying facial cleanser. When he saw Zhou Qingming, he waved his hands and walked into the room at the same time. : "Is it your classmate, little Z?"

Zhang Qing waved his hands, sat down on his bed, and stared at Xu Nuo with his legs crossed like a gentleman: "I don't have such a good-looking classmate, I am a friend who breaks the promise." After finishing speaking, he tilted his head and gave Xu Nuo a smile. , crunching the potato chips in his mouth.

Xu Nuo met her eyes helplessly, and the ambiguous look in Zhang Qing's eyes made her realize that she might have known about her relationship with Zhou Qingming long ago, but she didn't understand how she could tell. Zhou Qingming only came to the school twice this time, and they never made any ambiguous actions in front of her.

"Hi, I'm Zhou Qingming. I'm an alumnus of Nuonuo High School. I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's all right."

"Sit whatever you want."

Here, Xu Nuo was still wondering how Zhang Qing could see his relationship with Zhou Qingming, while Zhou Qingming had already greeted the other two roommates on his own initiative.

Seeing her natural and generous expression, Xu Nuo reached out and touched the back of her head. Zhou Qingming turned her head, looked at Xu Nuo, her cheeks were slightly red, and she tiptoedly followed Xu Nuo and stopped talking.

After washing, the dormitory turned off the lights, but no one got up on the two beds opposite Xu Nuo and Zhang Qing. Zhou Qingming was lying on her back, and she was a little nervous when she was lying on the same bed as Xu Nuo for the first time.

Xu Nuo lay near the aisle, quietly without making a sound, as if falling asleep.

Zhou Qingming turned sideways cautiously, the bed made a slight sound, she squeezed a breath nervously, and did not dare to move again, there was still not so bright light in the aisle peeking into the not-so-thick mosquito net on Xu Xu's bed, in the small space Vision is hazy.

Xu Nuo closed his eyes slightly, and felt that the people around him were holding their breath nervously and maintained a half-sideways posture. After touching for about a minute, he sighed softly, turned over naturally, faced Zhou Qingming sideways, cleared his throat, and whispered Ask her: "Do you think you can't sleep in bed?"

Seeing Xu Nuo's movements, Zhou Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his posture, and carefully leaned towards Xu Nuo's arms, resting his head on Xu Nuo's face: "I'm afraid that making noise will affect your roommate's study."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Qingming leaned up slightly, pointed to the numbers and lamps spread out on the desk next to him and asked, "It's almost eleven o'clock, do they still have to go to self-study?"

"Yeah." Xu Nuo nodded, and said in a low voice, "They are all top students." He spoke with admiration.

After hearing Xu Nuo's words, Zhou Qingming leaned against Xu Nuo again, feeling Xu Nuo's warm breath blowing over the top of his head, his heart moved, he raised his head and stared into Xu Nuo's eyes, and asked her, "Is it like you?"

Xu Nuo lowered her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Qingming's face quietly. Under the blurred light, she could only see the outline of her face and the twinkling lights in her eyes like two stars in the dark night sky. She pursed her lips and said nothing. She didn't deserve the word Xueba.

She didn't get an answer, so Zhou Qingming didn't ask anymore, she leaned into Xu Nuo's arms, found Xu Nuo's right hand under the quilt, and clasped it tightly in her hand, curled her neck and pressed her ear to Xu Nuo's chest, gently Counting the rhythm of her calm heartbeat, after a long time, she let go of Xu Nuo's left hand, and put her warm palm into Xu Nuo's pajamas.

Aware of her movements, Xu Nuo unnaturally turned his back to her and avoided: "Qingming, sleep."

Zhou Qingming followed Xu Nuo's movement forward, her left hand was still in Xu Nuo's pajamas, she put her right hand under Xu Nuo's waist, hugged Xu Nuo's slender waist from behind, her left hand slowly moved behind Xu Nuo, lifted her pajamas behind her Afterwards, he leaned against her body.

When Qingming Linglong's figure was posted on the back last week, Xu Nuo opened her eyes and quietly stared at the pattern on the mosquito net illuminated by the light outside. The temperature in her heart dropped little by little, of course she knew What Zhou Qingming was doing, she wanted to cooperate, but her body seemed to be out of the control of her brain, and she couldn't turn around.

She just turned her back to Zhou Qingming, and when she felt her ear was pressed against her left shoulder blade, she whispered her name, and raised her hand to hold her left hand that was about to reach her chest again: "Morning Get some sleep, I have morning class tomorrow."

Zhou Qingming didn't speak, Xu Nuo listened to her somewhat disordered breathing, and her heart fell into darkness for a moment, as if she suddenly fell into the abyss, and everything in front of her disappeared. Such a scene made her flustered, it was her It was the first time she felt that she was an asshole, and it was also the first time she regretted that half a year ago in the music classroom, she desperately asked the cheerful girl behind her for comfort.

Zhou Qingming didn't listen to Xu Nuo's words, she put her palms on Xu Nuo's chest stubbornly, teased her jerkyly with her fingertips, she pressed against Xu Nuo's back tightly from behind, even she felt herself Xu Nuo's breath became hot on Xu Nuo's shoulder blades, but Xu Nuo was still indifferent. She still held her hand, but she didn't move anymore.

When Zhou Qingming's warm lips were pressed against Xu Nuo's protruding shoulder blades, Xu Nuo sat up like a fish that was sleeping in the water but was suddenly hit by an electric shock. A harsh sound like falling apart.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

The roommates who hadn't slept yet heard the voice raised their heads and asked, promised to take off their pajamas, lifted the mosquito net, and answered in a low voice with a deep breath: "It's nothing, it's the first time I slept in a small bed with someone, and I accidentally touched it."

Putting down the mosquito net, Xu Nuo turned around, only to see that Zhou Qingming had already sat up, she tilted her head, unnaturally stretched out her hand towards Zhou Qingming to touch her face, but hesitated halfway, and there was a gap between the two of them. The atmosphere was eerie and eerie.

Finally, when Xu Nuo was about to withdraw his hand, Zhou Qingming suddenly stretched out both hands to hold Xu Nuo's right hand and lifted it in front of him, tilted his head slightly, and pressed his face into Xu Nuo's palm.

The warm and wet touch on her fingertips made Xu Nuo's heart ache. She moved the corners of her lips, trying to retract her hand, but Zhou Qingming held it tighter.

Xu Nuo sighed, looked at Zhou Qingming's tear-wet face with the faint light, and lowered his head: "Qingming...we..."

Zhou Qingming suddenly reached out to cover Xu Nuo's mouth, shook her head and sobbed softly: "Don't talk... go to sleep, I'm tired." After speaking, she didn't give Xu Nuo a chance to look at her anymore, turned her back Lie down on your side facing the promise.

Xu Nuo slowly lay sideways behind Zhou Qingming, silently watching her outline, her soft long hair touched her fingertips with tears still remaining, Xu Nuo suddenly felt sad, she hugged herself and curled up Standing up, suppressing tears welling up like a fountain.

After a while, Zhou Qingming noticed her abnormality, turned around to face her, hugged her curled body tightly, let her hot tears soak his long hair and pajamas, and wept together with her. Face.

"I know you still love her." Holding the promise, Zhou Qingming sobbed softly, and she put her left hand on the promise's chest: "Although you never mention it, and you don't like me to ask, but here, you have never done it for me." Changed the rhythm, I didn't want to have anything to do with you just now, I just wanted to try, will your heart beat faster...but you, no. "

"I'm sorry..." Xu Nuo shrank, looked up at Zhou Qingming, the pain in her heart made her sob uncontrollably, the dormitory suddenly became quiet, and then she heard her roommate turn over the book again sound.

"I don't want to be sorry, I just want me to be with you. Promise, forget her, I will always be with you, forget her."

"You don't love me, I know, but you are by my side, one day, you will fall in love with me, like I love you, love me."

"Qingming, she and I..." Xu Nuo calmed down, looked up at Zhou Qingming, "Never said it was over..."

"I know, what you need is a formal end. I also know that I am just a person who just appears when you need comfort and a hug. You need a pair of hands, and I give you a pair of hands." , you are with me, 80.00% of the reason is because of anger, 15.00% of the reason is because you are lonely, and the other 5.00% is because of the sense of responsibility that you will be responsible for if you pick it up. But no matter what the reason is, you are by my side , promise, I'm happy when you're by my side. I love you like you love her, it's humble, cute you I can't reason, I want to be with you, I like to see you smile, see you The way you don’t speak, or even the way you frown when you think of her. Maybe you don’t even know how pitiful the way you look when you think of her is clearly resentful but with hope in your eyes, like being abandoned in the wind and rain Puppy in the middle, this makes me sad, sad that I am not in your heart, but it makes my heart hurt even more, heartbroken that you are so pitiful. You are waiting for her to come back, but you and I both know that you have passed. Never look back from her The day you left you turned and held my hand and asked me to play the piano for you..."

Is it over?Xu Nuo lowered her head, and the sore corners of her eyes couldn't help getting hot again. She turned her head and turned her back to Zhou Qingming. She knew that she needed to be rational, to look at the past and the present rationally. She couldn't let go of the past, but now, she felt regret....

Zhou Qingming watched her movements, smiled slightly, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, hugged Xu Nuo tightly from behind, and whispered in Xu Nuo's ear with an extremely firm voice:

"Sleep, I will coax you to sleep and wait for you to wake up. After dawn, I will still love you the most. And everything that happened now is just a dream called the end of youth..."

The end of youth...Xu Nuo raised her lips and smiled wryly.These four words were used as her and Yan Ruyi's final concluding remarks, so ironic, yet so true...
