three feet away

"Is this the first time he hit you?"

"Why hit you?"

.....

The ward was full of noise, the incandescent light shone on his face, but the scene in his vision was blurred. There were a few people around the room. Xu Nuo felt that he was a little lost. Men judge who they are by the color of their clothes and the way they ask questions, and then answer their questions mechanically enduring dizziness, nausea and drowsiness.

"The person has been taken away, and we will detain him for a few days according to the situation. You should recover from your injuries first, and we will contact you again if necessary."

The two people beside the bed closed their notebooks and stood up, promising to sort out what they had said earlier in their drowsy minds, and when they walked to the door of the ward, they spoke slowly:

"It's just a little family conflict, not domestic violence, police officer, Chinese New Year is only two days away..."

The two people at the door glanced at each other, then looked back at the white gauze wrapped around the wound that had just been treated on the hospital bed. Within half an hour, it was soaked in a large area of ​​blood red again, and the scabs all over his face hadn't had time to wipe off the promise. Looking at the other three women with serious expressions standing at the end of the bed, he asked her incredulously, "Are you sure you know what you're talking about?"

Xu Nuo lowered her eyebrows, her eyes were dim, and she slowly grabbed the corner of the quilt with her hands on the quilt as white as her face, as if she was thinking about something, then she raised her head and smiled apologetically at the two people at the door He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, officer, but this is indeed just a small conflict within the family. My...Dad, he drank too much...I said some bad things...he... .Not intentional."

The two policemen at the door gave Xu Nuo a serious look, and the one who took the notepad reopened the notepad and quickly wrote a few words, said nothing, and walked out of the ward.

Bao Lan, who was standing at the end of the bed, saw the police go out, sighed, glanced at Xu Nuo who was lying on the bed, raised her hand and patted Yan Ruyi's shoulder standing beside her, and said in a low voice: "I'll go out to see you off." .”

The door closed behind Bao Lan, Xu Nuo looked towards the end of the bed, the incandescent light at the bedside made her dizzy, she was questioned as soon as she woke up, she didn't realize that Bao Lan and Yu Zan also came up.

"Teacher Yu, you are here."

"Yeah." Yu Zan forced a smile, walked in front of her, bowed his head, and briefly looked at her wound and pupils: "It just so happened that I took a turn to have dinner with Lan around here. Come and see. How are you feeling? Dizzy? Nausea?"

"Hmm... a bit." Xu Nuo nodded, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the person who was still standing at the end of the bed, Yan Ruyi stood there with blood on the back of his hand and his right hand was placed on the end of the bed, his eyes did not Connecting with the promise, it stayed on her hand holding the quilt. There was blood on the chest of her brown coat, and a large swath of dark red color smudged under her somewhat messy hair. Her expression did not show great distress , seems to be in a good mood.

Xu Nuo stared at her finger on the end of the bed, cast down her eyes, turned her head and continued to say to Yu Zan: "It's not serious, it shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe you don't need to be hospitalized."

"It still needs to be observed." Yu Zan sighed, turned his head to look at Yan Ruyi, then looked back at Xu Nuo, hesitated for two seconds, and said: "I asked your emergency doctor just now, there is a gash on the top of the head, the wound is not It was small, so there was a lot of blood. There was a relatively large scalp hematoma next to it. You were unconscious and didn’t know the situation. As I said, you vomited twice on the way to send you here... The examination revealed a little intracranial hemorrhage. In this case, you'd better stay in the hospital for observation for a few days to prevent serious consequences from later bleeding."

After hearing Yu Zan's words, Xu Nuo felt a sense of sadness in his heart. The man did not do it to scare her. At that time, he really wanted her life.

"Okay..." She murmured a word, was silent for a moment, and smiled wryly: "I see."

After the promised words, no one in the room spoke again, and there was a brief silence.Xu Nuo lay on the bed, his gaze stayed on the potion hanging above his head, watching the icy liquid in the transparent pipe pour down into his body drop by drop, he suddenly felt his whole body was completely cold.She didn't dare to look at Yan Ruyi, she was afraid of seeing Yan Ruyi's frightened expression, she didn't know how frightened Yan Ruyi was when she fainted, and she took her home because she wanted her to see the place where she lived The other party for many years, took her to see Xu Yan, but it turned out to be counterproductive. Before she had time to introduce anything to her, she saw the family tragedy that she had deliberately hidden for more than ten years...

"The liquid is almost gone. I'll ask the nurse if I want to add more." Yu Zan saw that one of the two was lying motionless on the bed, and the other was standing at the end of the bed without making any expressions. He sighed faintly and said something to Xu Nuo , turned around and walked out, when passing by the end of the bed, like Bao Lan, she lightly patted Yan Ruyi's hand on the end of the bed.

Yan Ru turned her head to one side, with an obscure smile on her calm face: "I'm fine."

This was the first time Xu Nuo heard Yan Ruyi's voice after waking up. I don't know if it was because she hadn't spoken for a long time or she was crying too hard. Her voice was very hoarse, as if she had suddenly caught a bad cold. She didn't look fine. Deliberately suppressed her voice, but the people who listened to her spoke with great effort.

Yu Zan paused when she heard Yan Ruyi's words, she turned her head and looked at Xu Nuo and Yan Ruyi again, her eyes were sad.

After Yu Zan left, only Xu Nuo and Yan Ru were left in the room. The hospital ward was already clean during the Chinese New Year. At this moment, the sudden silence became even quieter. Xu Nuo shifted his eyes from the infusion tube to Yan Ruyi. Obviously being embarrassed because of herself, she acted like she didn't care much about her experience, which made Xu Nuo extremely heartbroken. She guessed that it must be Yan Ruyi who called the police. She must have been very scared when she fell down. For her family, she couldn't directly call the police without discussing it with herself, but now that she woke up, the first thing she did was tell the police that everything was a misunderstanding, it was a family conflict, she didn't know, Yan Ruyi just heard Thinking of those words, what do you think...

Slowly stretching out the fingers that were clutched on the quilt, Xu Nuo raised his fingers, stared at Yan Ruyi, showing a timid expression, and tentatively called her aggrieved: "Ruyi..."

Yan Ruyi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, he raised his eyebrows to look at Xu Nuo, and turned his eyes away the moment he met her, without saying a word.

"Yan Ruyi..." Seeing that Yan Ruyi didn't want to talk to her, Xu Nuo felt sore in her heart. She twiddled her fingers, forced herself to bend the corners of her lips, and called out again.This sound sounded even more aggrieved and pitiful, very much like a child who has suffered a great grievance from a friend outside and wiped away tears and went home to complain to his mother.

Yan Ruyi heard the sound, and let go of the hand at the end of the bed. She raised her head, looked at how much potion was still hanging, and then looked at Xu Nuo, her eyes fell on Xu Nuo's bloody and pitiful face, with a calm expression on her face. Finally broke, she frowned deeply, bit her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes, she took a breath, calmed down and said to Xu Nuo in a hoarse voice: "I'll go and pour some hot water to wipe your face .”

"I won't wash it." Yan Ruyi's expression change was noticed by Xu Nuo, seeing that she wanted to leave, Xu Nuo refused without hesitation.

Yan Ruyi blinked, took a deep breath, stared at Xu Nuo without speaking for a moment, her eyes were already filled with transparent tears, but no tears fell for a long time.

The way Yan Ruyi desperately insisted not to cry made Xu Nuo feel a stabbing pain in her heart, she suddenly didn't know what to do, Yan Ruyi's current state allowed her to guess how embarrassed she looked at the moment without looking in the mirror, so She didn't know how to tell her that she was fine to reassure her. The worries and fears she had borne in her heart finally needed to be vented.But she didn't know how to comfort her...

After standing still and waiting for half a minute, Xu Nuo still didn't speak, Yan Ruyi turned around and walked towards the door.

"Yan Ruyi."

Yan Ruyi stopped at the door, her right hand was already holding the doorknob.Xu Nuo's voice calling her from behind interrupted her opening the door. She didn't look back, but just stood motionless.

Xu Nuo looked at Yan Ruyi's back like a knife, and she knew that she was crying the moment she turned around. She leaned on the hospital bed with her backhand and barely supported it more than ten centimeters away from the bed. The sudden movement made her dizzy for a while. Feeling sick and wanting to vomit, she suddenly thought of a word called Curves to save the country, so she said pitifully to Yan Ruyi, "Yan Ruyi, I'm dizzy and want to vomit... "

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Yan Ruyi turned around and rushed to the bedside. Under the nervous mood, she seemed to forget to cry for a moment. She lifted the trash can at the foot of the bed with one hand and handed it to Xu Nuo, and supported Xu Nuo with the other hand. Said: "I am here, spit here, I will deal with it after spit."

A word like a charged iron ball hit Xu Nuo's heart in an instant, and Xu Nuo leaned against Yan Ruyi's arms, crying uncontrollably in an instant.

Yan Ruyi sat on the side of the bed, hugged the promise of crying hoarsely, remained silent without saying a word, only the tears in her eye sockets kept rolling down in her trembling eye sockets, and then disappeared into the thick clothes of the two of them. .

"It's been almost 20 years. I'm like an orphan in a TV series. My grandma is indifferent and paranoid. My father is vain and loveless. My mother is cowardly and incompetent. Even the dog never admits that I am part of that family."

"I know that everyone is saying that I am lonely and arrogant, but Yan Ruyi, if I get used to the warmth of others and act like I need the warmth and hugs that are naturally natural to others but inexplicably expensive to me, who, Who can help me resist the cruel sword that I am not even as good as my dog..."

"He never thought that I was his child, only Xu Yan was the root of the Xu family, and I... In his eyes, I hate and hate Xu Yan. I killed Xu Yan and took away his pride. He hates me, but for the sake of face, he allows me to study and eat and drink. My grades are just the capital for him to occasionally brag in front of colleagues and relatives, not for him to care for me even a little bit in exchange..."

"He didn't hit me, he really wanted my life. I killed Xu Yan, and I'm still a homosexual who will make him even more disgraced..."

Xu Nuo's cry made Yan Ruyi's heart ache beyond measure. She hugged her and heard her vent her emotions in front of her for the first time. She knew that Xu Nuo would spend her whole life healing her cruel childhood and youth. Her heart ached. I can't help but think of the way she looked when I first met her, the way she always wandered in the sun, her eyes that always looked more mature than her peers, and the look of anticipation when she chased her own footsteps, it turned out that it was just because, She hopes that the warmth of the sun will burn her wet heart, that indifference and maturity can hide her fragility, and that the person she loves will also respond to her...

It was at that moment that Yan Ruyi realized that in the past so many years, no one had really understood the darkest and most invisible side of Xu Nuo's heart. All of them were taken as ordered... And she used the nourishment made by those loneliness and desolation to water a flower in the bottom of her heart without any impurities, but full of all her love and sincerity. One year, I took it off without hesitation and gave it to myself...
