three feet away

It was not one o'clock when Xu promised to return to school on Sunday afternoon. The weather was still hot in mid-October. She didn't have an appetite for lunch, and she didn't want to go back to the dormitory or classroom. Finally, she bought a bottle of purified water from the grocery store and went to the bookstore in front of the school to refresh herself.

Because it was still early and it was lunch break, the bustling bookstore on weekdays and weekends was unusually clean, with only a few people standing here and there among the cluttered bookshelves.

Xu Nuo looked back and forth in front of different bookshelves, and finally stopped in front of the bookshelf of teaching materials.Then, a senior high school biology course was selected from many books for detailed explanation and practice.

In the past few days, she has been in an abnormally depressed state. From the day she ran out of Yan Ruyi's room, her young heart seemed to have fallen into a dark and boundless abyss, cold and damp.

On the one hand, she couldn't help wanting to see Yan Ruyi even more. On the other hand, she was afraid of seeing Yan Ruyi. She was afraid that Yan Ruyi would ask her what happened that day, because she didn't know what happened to herself, and she just wanted to see her and listen to her. voice, want to see her standing on the podium in high spirits.

She became even more crazily obsessed with this subject, and spent more than a day at home on weekends to read through all the courses that hadn't been previewed some time ago, and almost remembered the key points in the lines in boldface. content.

"Promise?"

When she heard a voice so familiar that Xu Nuo almost missed a heartbeat at the same time, she was frowning as she looked at an exercise question, and the answer in her memory was different from the reference answer.She was still thinking about where she went wrong.

And that voice pierced her heart at that moment.

She raised her head abruptly as if she had suffered an electric shock, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Yan Ruyi's tall and slender figure appeared in front of her eyes. Against the light, she couldn't see Yan Ruyi's face clearly. She just felt that her whole body was surrounded by the bright sunshine, and she looked the most warm and eye-catching, so youthful, so Dazzling and beautiful.

"Do you want to buy books?"

While Xu Nuo was in a daze, Yan Ruyi had already walked up to her. She lowered her head, shrugged her mouth at Xu Nuo's dazed expression, exhaled softly, raised her hand to rub the soft hair on the top of Xu Nuo's head, and used a She asked her in a helpless but extremely gentle tone: "I'm always curious, how did you separate body and spirit so easily?"

There was a sweet smell of chewing gum in his nostrils. Tang Guo came back to his senses, but before he could speak, he found that the book in his hand had been opened in Yan Ruyi's hand.She was a little nervous for no reason, as if her little secret was discovered by an important person.Although it is normal for a student to read a teaching aid.

Yan Ruyi quickly shifted her gaze from the book to Xu Nuo's face, with some approval in her eyes, and her expression became more gentle. She handed the book back to Xu Nuo, with some white and neat teeth showing at the corners of her lips. Ziyi asked with a joking tone like a friend: "It turns out that I also have students who like my courses so much and also read the teaching supplements?"

"There are a lot of people who like you." Xu Nuo took the book, stared at Yan Ruyi's warm face, and answered a specious sentence in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.

"Really?" Yan Ruyi's smile became brighter, she lowered her head slightly, she didn't care about the fundamental mismatch between Xu Nuo's answer and her own question, she just looked into Xu Nuo's eyes seriously: "Including you?" ?”

Xu Nuo's ears felt hot when she looked at her, and he lowered his head unconsciously, with a hot blush on his face, "Mmm..."

"Then, can you please pull the teacher out of the blacklist, please promise? I'm sorry, I misunderstood you as some annoying people earlier, so..."

After Xu Nuo listened, she raised her head and looked at Yan Ruyi's face. So, did she drag herself out of the blacklist before contacting her?

"it is good…"

It wasn't until Xu Nuo followed Yan Ruyi out of the bookstore and into a restaurant along the street, and the fan on the wall blew hot wind across her face that she realized that she had done it in just a few minutes. What.

She not only agreed to pull Yan Ruyi out of her blacklist, but also told her that she didn't have lunch when she asked herself. The most frightening thing was that she seemed to be hypnotized by Yan Ruyi and followed her into the this restaurant.

Yan Ruyi ordered a tomato scrambled egg topped rice bowl for each of them. When the proprietress brought the rice, she poked the face of Promise who was still bewildered, and said with a smile: "I heard that the one with dimples People are born with deformities, and the pair of dimples on your face were poked by your own fingers when you were in your mother's womb."

After Xu Nuo listened, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes, silently slandering Yan Ruyi for treating herself as a child, and at the same time, she suddenly had an appetite for the rice bowl in front of her.He picked up the spoon and ate silently.

When Yan Ru saw her bowing her head and starting to eat, she bent her lips in satisfaction and stopped talking.

After the meal, Yan Ruyi paid the bill, and promised to follow her into the school with her schoolbag on her back. Yan Ruyi stood beside her, behaved like a little girl next door, and even her breathing became more careful. However, she expected Yan Ruyi to notice that her ambivalence almost drove her crazy.

When Yan Ruyi stopped in the alley of the classroom dormitory building, Xu Nuo walked forward a few steps in a daze. After realizing that the people around her had already stopped, she suddenly stopped and looked back.

Yan Ruyi stood under the shade of a tree that was as lush as a lotus pod, looking at Xu Nuo with a half-smile.

Xu Nuo knew that she would definitely want to laugh at him for being fussy again, so he cleared his throat in embarrassment and said to Yan Ruyi, "Thank you, teacher."

Yan Ru waved her hand, and when retracting her slender arm, she covered her mouth and yawned again: "You're welcome."

Mottled light spots fell on the corner of her eyes, Xu Nuo saw a crystal clear tear, Yan Ruyi was sleepy.

"Goodbye, teacher." She quickly bent over to Yan Ruyi, turned around and walked towards the teaching building.

Just less than three meters away, Yan Ruyi's voice came from behind: "Promise."

Xu Nuo turned around when she heard the sound, and stood there looking at Yan Ruyi. The breeze blew up the corners of her light blue shirt. With her long hair cut off, she still looked so beautiful, but at the same time, she had a more capable look.

Yan Ruyi smiled with sincere eyes: "Remember to release me."

This time, she said "I" instead of "teacher".

Xu Nuo was very happy to hear these words before leaving. She couldn't restrain her excitement, nodded to Yan Ru, and replied crisply: "I see."

Yan Ruyi looked at Xu Nuo's energetic appearance very satisfied, raised his eyebrows as if deliberately finding fault and said to her: "Did you go home and do the set of test questions with closed book as I asked?"

"Yes." Xu Nuo answered with some pride.

"Really?" Yan Ruyi smiled again, she seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Nuo's well-behaved and well-behaved appearance at this moment, she raised her foot and walked up to Xu Nuo, and spread out her right hand in front of her: "Examination paper Give me."

Xu Nuo was a little dazed, not knowing why Yan Ruyi wanted her test paper, but she obediently took out the test paper with very neat handwriting from her schoolbag and put it in Yan Ruyi's hand.

Yan Ruyi lowered his head and glanced at the test paper in his hand, and the light spots fell on the white paper, making the black pen writing more cute.

Xu Nuo stared at Yan Ruyi's face, and when she was about to ask her what she was going to do, she raised her head and said to Xu Nuo, "I'll help you modify it."

Xu Nuo's eyes widened in flattery, and a smile bloomed on her face before she knew it. She stared at Yan Ruyi's clear eyes, and replied blankly: "Okay..."

It wasn't until Yan Ruyi's figure was completely blocked by the dormitory building that Xu Nuo turned around and walked in her direction. She stomped her feet in annoyance, because when Yan Ruyi said that she was grading the test paper, she was overjoyed and only answered a good word , forgot to say thank you.

What would Yan Ruyi think?Do you feel that you are being rude?

For several hours afterwards, Xu Nuo was anxious because of the unspoken words, the more he thought about it, the more melancholy he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something wrong.

It wasn't until the end of the first evening self-study get out of class that she suddenly remembered that Yan Ruyi had confessed that she was going to be blacklisted, opened QQ and set it up in a panic, and watched Yan Ruyi's profile picture turn pink on the screen again, she secretly laugh it out.

She sent Yan Ruyi a smiling expression, and Yan Ruyi quickly replied: "get out of class is over?"

"Ah."

I just answered the word Yan Ruyi, and Zhu Yuan, who was at the same table, had already knocked on the table and asked her with a smirk: "I'll check my phone after class, and I'm still smiling with a springy face, promise, have you got a boyfriend?" ?”

After hearing Zhu Yuan's words, Zhang Qiming turned his head quickly, looked at Xu Nuo's completely extreme expression from last week with probing eyes, and called her worriedly: "Nuo Nuo?"

Xu Nuo was taken aback, and hurriedly covered his phone. The baby didn't want them to see the head of the rabbit on his phone screen, so he denied it in a panic: "Nothing, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's strange to believe you, Qi Ming, tell me, is something wrong when I saw her today? Either humming a ditty, or having a sunny face. Who will believe it if you say you fell in love with some pretty boy?"

"What a jerk!" Xu Nuo slightly raised his voice to deny it, stood up from his seat, walked around the back of Zhu Yuan's chair, and left the classroom through the back door.

"Tell me, isn't this what it looks like to be in love?"

Zhu Yuan was still talking to Zhang Qiming behind her because she couldn't hear clearly because of the noisy corridor, and she only quickly lowered her head when the phone vibrating in her hand reminded that there was a new message.

The pink rabbit on the screen jumped happily, and gave Xu Nuo a sentence that was enough to keep her happy all night:

"I just finished correcting your test paper, promise, you are really good."

Holding the phone, Xu Nuo repeatedly read the string of texts sent by Yan Ruyi more than ten times, and then laid his arms on the cold balcony railing.She didn't know how many points she had scored, and she didn't know how good Yan Ruyi's so-called awesomeness was.She just felt so happy, because her nearly a month of preview and practice had begun to show obvious results.Most importantly, she was praised by Yan Ruyi.What she wants is actually such a simple result.

The evening wind blew her long hair, and the smell of camphor tree came to her face. She closed her eyes gently, feeling that she was slowly walking up the colorful clouds in this strange fragrance.The cloud is full of sweet fruits, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, making people greedy.

"There are many people who like you."

"Does that include you too?"

"Um…"

While standing on the cloud and bathing in the spring breeze, Xu Nuo suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Yan Ruyi in the afternoon.

Then, she squeezed the phone and grinned silently.

It turns out that the inexplicable sadness and sadness, sorrow and disappointment before, as well as the joy and joy now, all have a unified name called: Yan Ruyi, I like you.
