three feet away

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Ruyi gave Xu Nuo a discharge from the hospital.When she left the hospital, it was close to ten o'clock in the morning. Xu Nuo followed Yan Ruyi to the parking lot of the hospital. During the past few days in the hospital, the ward was gradually empty because of the Chinese New Year. Thinking of the feeling of lying on the hospital bed for the first time in her life, she There is a feeling of loss in my heart.

This year has been really unforgettable.

The stitches on her head hadn't been removed yet. When she was about to go downstairs, Yan Ruyi took out a velvet hat that she didn't know where to buy and put it on for her, saying it was to keep out the wind, but she knew that she was afraid of herself Going out with a white gauze on your head, the New Year's Eve will attract attention and make you unhappy.

"I'll take you to a good place in a while." Before getting into the car, Yan Ruyi saw that she was in a low mood, and didn't ask her why, but said this with a smile and pretending to be mysterious when she reached out to help her wrap the neckline of the down jacket tightly. .

"Where?" Xu Nuo lowered her head slightly, cooperating with the movements of Yan Ru and her group, her eyes fell on her ears, the cold wind blew by, she smelled the cold fragrance of wintersweet in the cold air, she sighed, faintly Said: "I remember that there is a very big wintersweet tree in the small garden near the cafeteria outside your dormitory. I like it very much."

Yan Ruyi patted the collar she had tidied up for her, then raised her head and asked, "Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Xu Nuo shook his head: "Wait for summer, I prefer the camphor outside the classroom in midsummer to Lamei."

Yan Ruyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and smiled slightly with the corners of his lips curled up. Without saying anything, he pinched the hand hanging by her side to test if she was cold, and opened the car door for her.

There was a palm-sized gift box on the co-pilot, and he promised to pick it up, lowering his eyebrows to fasten his seat belt.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Yan Ruyi got into the car, saw the box in her hand, and grinned in embarrassment: "Yesterday your friend brought it."

"friend?"

"Well, it's the college classmate you mentioned before that you wanted to take me to dinner. She came here when you were talking with Zhou Qingming."

Hearing Yan Ruyi mention Zhou Qingming, Xu Nuo turned his head to look at her, and tried to ask: "Ruyi, why don't you ask about me and her?"

Yan Ruyi laughed lightly when she heard the sound, and before reaching out to shift gears to drive, she pursed her lips and asked in embarrassment: "Should I be sad or angry about this again?"

Xu Nuo looked at Yan Ruyi, a little dissatisfied with her performance, did she not care? "No...Are you angry and awkward?"

Yan Ruyi heard the disappointment in her words, sighed faintly, turned off the car that had already started, turned sideways and looked back seriously into Xu Nuo's eyes: "Okay, before I go home with you, I will."

"Will you no longer be angry and sad after coming home with me?"

Yan Ruyi lowered her eyebrows, remained silent for a moment, and when she raised her head again, her reddish eyes could not hide the sadness. She stretched out her hand to Xu Nuo, and put her palm next to her ear: "If I knew that you have been living a life since childhood How can you be willing to make up your own mind and leave without telling you anything?"

"I must be with you, promise, I should be with you."

"When I first met you, I always wondered why you always looked more mature and sensible than students of the same age, but I never thought about your understanding and maturity. People will be willing to enter into a heavy life prematurely, unless maturity can make her feel better."

"I'm very sad, my appearance brought you so much haze, I can't and dare not imagine how you spent your third year of high school, you are so bad at talking, unwilling to communicate with others, how did you survive The time when you lived like a year?"

Taking a deep breath, rubbing Xu Nuo's face inch by inch with his palm, Yan Ruyi smiled at her with red eyes: "From the day I sent you to the hospital, I can only feel lucky about her, glad you met her." She is even more grateful. She has accompanied you through those long years with sincerity. around, it's not fair..."

Xu Nuo took a deep breath, she never knew that Yan Ruyi was always blaming herself for these things, it seems that what happened that day really frightened her.She reached out and squeezed the back of her hand, comforting her:

"There are many things that can be judged good or bad by more than just a word of fairness. Love needs to be combined with being loved to have results. Neither party can force it. Therefore, you don't have to blame yourself for Qingming. She will have something that belongs to her." Her, beautiful home. We just need to bless her."

"it is good..."

The way Yan Ruyi obediently nodded in agreement made Xu Nuo suddenly feel that she was actually older than her. She liked how she looked like a smaller and smaller woman in front of her, because in that way, she would have a sense of accomplishment. At least it meant, Her existence really made her feel at ease and happy.Sighing contentedly, the previous haze in her mind dissipated, she shrank into the seat, she folded her legs and shook her arms forward:

"Let's go, new year, new beginning."

Yan Ruyi started the car according to her wishes, and drove the car on the road. The usual traffic flow in the city center became sparse because of the Chinese New Year. The desertedness of living in a hollowed out city.

Xu Nuo looked sideways at Yan Ruyi, the blush in her eyes had gradually dissipated, and the sadness on her face was gone. She only pursed her lips slightly, and was looking at the road ahead seriously. Such a meticulous look reminded Xu Nuo of the past. She was the same way when she got in her car for the first time, being cautious.She is still the same as she was many years ago, she is extremely serious when driving, and her expression has not changed.Xu Nuo stared at her face, thinking of the past years, no more regrets, but inexplicably comforted, because she found that although so many years had passed, they had never met or contacted each other, but the relationship between the two was What has changed, approximately, is only age.

Leaning on the seat, Xu Nuo stared at Yan Ruyi's face for a moment, she liked to look at her like this, she didn't think of anything, she didn't do anything, as long as she was in her eyes, it was fine, that feeling was like the scene in 2007 In midsummer, a figure with short shoulder-length hair and a small white cotton and linen shirt with a pinched waist imprinted in her eyes for the first time, bringing her longing, unlimited freedom, and beauty...

The past years seem to pass by like a fleeting moment, no matter how sad or heartbroken, at this moment when she is by my side, everything is worth it...

Yan Ruyi tilted her head slightly, looked at her and smiled, feeling a little embarrassed by her naked and undisguised love eyes, her ears were slightly red, she turned her head away, the corners of her lips parted slightly:

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you."

"looks good?"

"nice."

"But I'm old."

"Actually, I'm not too young."

The two quickly completed a short conversation, and then, the corners of their lips curled up at the same time, and the temperature of the air conditioner in the narrow space of the car seemed to suddenly rise two degrees between the brows, and the two of them suddenly became awkward in tacit understanding, unconsciously. Like lovers who have just confirmed their relationship, they blushed.

Yan Ruyi looked at Xu Nuo with some reproach: "I didn't think you could talk about love before."

"Is this a love story?" Xu Nuo smiled.

"Isn't that counted?"

The smile on his face deepened, Xu Nuo coughed lightly, showing embarrassment, raised his hand and touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "If it counts, then it's just a small love story."

"Small love story?" Yan Ruyi raised an eyebrow in doubt.

"Yes." Xu Nuo nodded seriously.

"What about the big love story?" Yan Ruyi stopped at the red light ahead and turned his head.

"Talk about love?" Continue to put on a contemplative look, watching Yan Ruyi seriously looking at her expression waiting for the answer, Xu Nuo put away the half-smile expression on the corners of her lips, her expression became extremely serious, she slowly went to Yan Ru leaned forward.

Xu Nuo's breath approached suddenly, and Yan Ruyi's ears, which had just receded from the fever, started to burn again. She coughed unnaturally, and unconsciously scratched with her right hand holding the gear lever, turning her head to run away.

Xu Nuo has sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly reached out his left hand under her chin and lifted her chin to force her to look at him.

With a slight shackle on his jaw, Yan Ruyi stared at Xu Nuo's tender and affectionate eyes, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "Red, the red light is almost over."

Xu Nuo looked at her blushing face amusedly within two seconds, and suddenly smiled, she looked into Yan Ruyi's eyes seriously, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Yan Ruyi's hand holding the gear lever, leaning over her lips slightly Drop a kiss:

"Yan Ruyi, life is very long, and the road to go is not short. From now on, I will hold your hand firmly and never let you get lost again. No matter when, you have me."

Yan Ru blinked, and a shy smile appeared on her face. She let go of the shift lever, put her right index finger against Xu Nuo's forehead, which was stuck in front of her eyes, straightened her eyes, and slightly raised the corner of her jaw, pretending to be serious and said:

"Well... I guess, this is a big love story, and you have to be educated."

"Yes, from now on, I will be your Teacher Xu. Teacher Yan, let's learn from each other." Xu Nuo retreated to his seat, smiled meaningfully and looked at Yan Ruyi. However, she was no longer in the depressed mood when she stepped out of the ward just now, she thought:

Some people can't tell what's good about her, but they can't forget it, just like Yan Ruyi. She spent a long time asking herself what she loves about her, but the answer is always unclear. It's all good, but she can't fall in love after all, just like Zhou Qingming, she has tried countless times, but she still can't fall in love.

The simpler the comparison between love and not love, in fact, the hidden emotions and fate can be explained clearly by more than one or two words?Some things are unreasonable, just like she has expected the same parental care for nearly 20 years, but still has to turn around and leave...

Family affection and love, the biggest similarity, probably, lies in the word fate, she and Yan Ruyi are destined to be together, even if they have been separated for so many years, and she and her parents are destined to run counter to each other, even if they have lived under the same roof for so long. Long...

Sighing unconsciously, Xu Nuo raised her head to look at Yan Ruyi. She was looking sideways at herself because of her unreasonable sigh. The moment her eyes collided, she smiled at Yan Ruyi:

Fortunately, it's not just about being reluctant... The person in front of her is the best gift in her life.

"If you're tired, sleep for a while. I'll call you when you arrive." Yan Ruyi took her hand and put it on his lap, and patted the back of her hand with his fingers.

Xu Nuo looked down at her fingers, rubbed the back of her hand repeatedly with the pad of his thumb, and responded gently:

"it is good..."
