three feet away

Chapter 31

"Excuse me, little master." Yan Ruyi put down the car window, poked his head out and asked, "Excuse me, is this the way to go to Mount Tiantai?"

Standing outside the car was a young monk, wearing a baggy sea green. Yan Ruyi didn't honk the horn, but drove the car forward for more than ten meters and stopped on the side of the road, and only asked him the way when he came up.

The monk clasped his hands together, bowed to Yan Ruyi and pointed to the road ahead: "Go ahead, it's not far away."

"Thank you."

Xu Nuo sat in the co-pilot, looked at Yan Ru and a monk outside and nodded her thanks, with a bright smile on her face, feeling that everything was so unreal.

After turning around, Yan Ruyi pressed the switch to close the window. When the window was slowly raised, she held the gear lever and stepped on the accelerator lightly. The car slid out and slowly crawled on the tree-lined mountain road.

"Where are we going?" Xu Nuo turned his head and looked at Yan Ruyi's side face. Yan Ruyi painted a very light and fresh outfit, with thin lips with an attractive peach color. Pulling her eyes, she pursed her lips, and looked at the road ahead seriously with a pair of eyes under the sunglasses. The bruise on the corner of her right eye had completely faded away, and she could only vaguely see the abnormally colored bruise on the corner of her eye under the thin powder. Scars, after all, her youth still left her painful marks on Yan Ruyi's face.Xu Nuo looked at the corner of Yan Ruyi's eyes in a daze, and sighed secretly.

It seems that such mountain roads are rarely driven, so Yan Ruyi's expression was particularly serious. Xu Nuo turned towards her slightly all the way, looking at her relaxed and tense expression for a moment. The scenery outside the window kept changing, and it was her I love Yan Ruyi in my heart.

Yan Ru glanced at Xu Nuo with one eyebrow, then turned her head to look at the front seriously, and bent her lips: "Go to become a monk."

"Ah?" Xu Nuo asked unconsciously.

"Would you like it?" Yan Ruyi asked her with a smile, "Chengdu is beautiful, with outstanding people. If you become a monk in a place like Tiantai Mountain, you can get the essence of heaven and earth to wash away the dross and bad luck every day. Maybe you can become a fairy."

Xu Nuo pursed her mouth, frowned and looked at Yan Ruyi's side face seriously, wondering in her heart whether her words were true or not.

Yan Ruyi came here suddenly, she was just a teacher, and she returned to her hometown after reading the test papers, and they kept in touch every day, but Yan Ruyi never said that she would come back early.

In the morning, she suddenly returned to Chengdu, and when Xu Nuo held up the phone in a daze to guess whether what she said was true or false, she told Yan Ruyi the approximate location of her home.

When Xu Nuo saw the silver car at the township crossing where she usually waited for the bus, she still thought she was still in a dream.

The little lion stopped by the side of the road, Yan Ruyi lowered the car window, propped himself up from the driver's seat on the co-pilot, and yelled at her who was standing dazed by the roadside to get in the car, and she opened the door and sat in the car.Along the way, relaxing music was playing in the car, and Xu Nuo looked chaotic, while Yan Ruyi was cautious about the road conditions on the expressway, neither of them spoke.Until just now, the two had been walking on the road for nearly an hour and a half, when Yan Ruyi opened the window to ask for directions, and Xu Nuo heard her soft voice, it seemed that she woke up from a dream, and looked sideways at Yan Ruyi's face, at that time, They were already at the Tiantai Mountain boundary, [-] kilometers away from Xu Nuo's home.

Xu Nuo didn't answer for a long time, the upward arc of Yan Ruyi's lips became even bigger.The eyes under the sunglasses glanced at Xu Nuo, and asked her deliberately: "Didn't you tell me to take you away when you were on vacation? Let's go to become a monk, no one will know, isn't it good?"

Xu Nuo wrung her fingers and pursed her lips. It was true that she asked Yan Ru to take her away half a month ago, but who said she was going to become a monk?She leaned slightly, leaning her head against the car window, squinting at Yan Ruyi:

"Yan Ruyi, do you have any misunderstanding about the word elopement?"

"Did I ever say it was an elopement?" Xu Nuo's words amused Yan Ruyi. She took a gap of two seconds during the nervous driving, reached out and pinched Xu Nuo's earlobe, grinning slightly: "I just came to bring You leave, leave, not elope, there are many ways to leave, I think it is good to become a monk."

Yan Ruyi smiled and promised to be sure that she was deliberately teasing herself. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and the smile bloomed unreservedly on her slightly immature but more beautiful face. Following Yan Ruyi's words, she explain:

"Okay, become a monk, but we both have to be female masters in the same temple. If I strike the clock, you will strike the wooden fish, or I will strike the wooden fish and you will strike the bell. I heard that monks can get married now. The Lord Buddha is merciful, and certainly not." It's strange that the female disciples under the seat love each other, let alone I can't help but want to kiss and hug you."

Yan Ruyi didn't expect Xu Nuo to answer her joke so frankly, and she even teased herself a little bit in the words, she rolled her eyes and glanced at Xu Nuo angrily, then pouted and asked: "Have you been doing this lately?" What sour-toothed idol drama did you watch again? Promise, you learned badly.”

"Hmm..." Xu Nuo nodded seriously, put his right elbow on the car window, touched his lips with his slender fingertips, and said with a smirk, "You have to live and learn." Well."

Yan Ruyi sighed helplessly and did not speak again.Xu Nuo just leaned against the car window like that, fixedly looking at Yan Ruyi's face, she always unconsciously looked at the faint scar in the corner of her right eye that was not easy to see if you didn't look carefully, the mountainside was covered with trees. There is very little traffic on the shaded two-way lane, and the sun does not know which direction it is coming from. Through the shade of the trees, it falls on the car, leaving a jumping spot on Yan Ruyi's sunglasses and then receding quickly. The tail of Bai's scar was slightly downward, and she always felt that when Yan Ruyi didn't deliberately smile at her, she looked very sad.That kind of sadness was so strong that it was almost impossible to hide it, but when she looked at her, her eyes were so bright that Xu Nuo couldn't help laughing that she was thinking too much.She didn't know why Yan Ruyi came to her suddenly, but she was happy when she came.

Half an hour later, Yan Ru drove to her destination. When she got out of the car to buy a ticket, Xu Nuo poked her head and glanced at the gate of the scenic spot. In the case of Tiantai Mountain, she brought herself to escape the summer heat.There are quite a lot of people queuing at the ticket gate. On the way up the mountain, I saw people coming and going, but I didn’t expect them to stop at the ticket gate.

Yan Ruyi wore a fresh long dress with a small shawl that she promised she had never worn in school today, and a pair of simple style casual sandals on her feet. Looking at it from a distance, she looked decent yet youthful and beautiful. I feel that she can always wear simple clothes with her own taste and style, no matter what, it seems to be tailor-made.Behind Yan Ruyi stood a boy who was about the same age as him. Although he kept a polite distance in line, he always bent his body and leaned over to look at Yan Ruyi from time to time.

I felt a little bit of a taste in my heart, although the boy didn't do anything excessive.Xu Nuo pushed open the car door, walked into the sun, walked to the ticket office with big strides, walked around the crowd and came behind Yan Ruyi, and pushed the boy back, "I'm sorry."

Because of Xu Nuo's deliberate action, the boy took two steps back in embarrassment. She felt relieved and was afraid that others would say that she had jumped in line. Then she grabbed Yan Ruyi's arm affectionately like a koala and shook it. A coquettish voice asked Yan Ruyi: "Is it alright, the car is so hot."

"It's hot in the car?" Yan Ruyi looked up at her, and then at the blushing boy behind her. With some understanding in her mind, she took off the sunglasses hanging from her face and put them on Xu Nuo's head, and asked her with a smile : "Will it be cooler this way?"

These words caused the boy behind him to laugh.

Xu Nuo blushed in embarrassment and grabbed off the sunglasses, pouted and gouged out Yan Ruyi's eyes, then stretched out his hand and gently squeezed the little finger of her right hand as punishment.Yan Ru just smiled and picked at her nails with her thumb, and did not speak with the corners of her lips bent.

Back in the car, Yan Ruyi pointed to the air conditioner vent with a natural expression, and asked Xu Nuo: "I remember I didn't turn off the air conditioner."

Xu Nuo pressed the corners of his lips unnaturally without a positive face, and looked out the window with an expression that I don't know what you are talking about: "I've never been here before, it's cool and beautiful."

Yan Ruyi didn't question her, she took in Xu Nuo's embarrassing expression, stretched out her hand to grab Xu Nuo's left hand, slightly bent her body and kissed Xu Nuo's thumb knuckle, before Xu Nuo could react, she Quickly let go of her, and when she was holding the gear lever, Yan Ruyi's eyes fell on the front, and she said to Xu Nuo as if talking to herself: "Let's park the car outside and walk in. I'm not particularly good at my driving skills." Have confidence…"

Xu Nuo squinted her eyes, Yan Ruyi lived and boarded at school, she had never seen her drive: "Yan Ruyi, tell the truth, is this the first time you drive?"

"...um..." Yan Ruyi released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator with a guilty conscience, sticking out her tongue like a student caught by the teacher while talking in class, and didn't dare to look at Xu Nuo: "About this question, Xu Xu, I don't think you should know the answer good."

Silently calculated Yan Ruyi's age, Xu Nuo knew it in her heart, she was not worried about whether it would be safe to hand herself over to Yan Ruyi, and she did not blame her for bringing herself here along the mountains and rivers all the way, she just felt sorry for her driving here alone Sometimes loneliness, tension and fear.

"Yan Ruyi?" Looking at Yan Ruyi's sideways face carefully reversing the car, Xu Nuo felt a little sore in his heart.

"Huh?" Yan Ruyi didn't look back at her, she turned sideways, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and looked in the rearview mirror.Her expression was not relaxed, but when she promised to call her, she responded softly.

Xu Nuo smiled, took a deep look at her, and turned his head out of the window: "It's nothing, I suddenly want to call you."

The altitude of Tiantai Mountain is not high, but it is winding and colorful. The construction of the scenic spot is not too much. Most of the innkeepers are indigenous people, simple and kind.

From the moment he got off the car, Xu Nuo has been holding Yan Ruyi's hand, secretly kissing her fingertips from time to time when no one is following her, and then posing to her like a child who has successfully stolen candy With a face full of helplessness and doting, such a sweet smile.

Stopping and walking along the way, looking at the water and flowers, arrived at the place where Yan Ruding's wooden house was, it was already dusk.

The wooden house is next to an old mill in Xiaojiatan. The owner is a simple middle-aged woman. There are not many people in the shop and it is very clean.The rooms of Yan Ruyi and Xu Nuo are at the back, passing through the long corridor, all the laughter and conversations that could be faintly heard before are completely hidden, only the old and creaking sound of the water wheel in the mill behind the house being washed by the running water And the unknown bird calls from time to time in the virgin forest.

After taking two people into the house and looking at the room, the boss quickly turned and walked away.Xu Nuo carefully looked at the furnishings in the small wooden house. The room is not big, but simple yet elegant. The wooden window is facing the mill, and the mountain spring comes down from somewhere behind the mountain, tinkling.

Yan Ruyi closed the door, stepped forward and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her neck, and asked her softly: "How are you here?"

Xu Nuo raised his hand and squeezed Yan Ruyi's hand, a little greedy for the warmth in Yan Ruyi's arms: "How do you know this place?"

"I heard from my classmates that it hasn't been overdeveloped yet, so it's worth a visit." Tilting his head slightly, his lips touched Xu Nuo's face, Yan Ruyi let go of his promise, walked to the window and sat down, the windmill of the mill was spinning , Occasionally bring a little bit of rain-like cold oasis.She stretched out her hand out of the window, catching the coolness without moving.

Xu Nuo looked at Yan Ruyi's back. She didn't know whether it was because the sky was late and the mountain was not bright enough or something. She always felt that Yan Ruyi had something on her mind, and Xu Nuo knew that something must be related to the school.Going up to Yan Ruyi's side, leaning against the window sill and looking at her profile, Xu Nuo couldn't help but ask her: "Yan Ruyi, why did you come to me suddenly? You didn't tell me in bed last night. You want to come over."

Yan Ruyi didn't answer her question right away, she just stood motionless, the mountain wind was blowing towards her face with the clear smell of sweet spring, and the two had long hair flowing, entangled with each other.Yan Ruyi turned back and smiled at her, squinting her eyes slightly unhappy, took Xu Nuo's hand and pulled her towards him slightly, and asked her in a dissatisfied tone: "Suddenly want to see my girlfriend , do you need to explain to anyone?"

It was Xu Nuo's first time hearing Yan Ruyi call herself like this, girlfriend. She smacked her lips, savored the taste of the word carefully, and smiled embarrassedly with a blushing face.

Yan Ruyi lifted up the broken hair around her ears, lowered her eyebrows and kissed the corner of her lips, and when her lips were pressed against hers, she smiled and said, "I like you so much."

Xu Nuo was a little fascinated by these words. She hooked Yan Ruyi's waist, and unconsciously stuck her palms behind Yan Ruyi's slender waist. There was a throbbing in her heart that she didn't quite understand. Gently prying Yan Ruyi's lips apart, deepening the kiss.

"Do you remember my birthday?"

When the four lips parted, Yan Ruyi stretched out his hand and wiped the corner of Xu Nuo's lips with his thumb, and asked her.

"Of course I remember." Xu Nuo puffed out her chest, Yan Ruyi's birthday is in mid-October, and there is still some time, she didn't know why she suddenly asked, "I forgot my birthday, and I will never forget you, Yan Ruyi Ruyi, on your first birthday after being with me, do you have any wishes?"

Yan Ruyi tilted her head slightly, looked at Xu Nuo seriously, and after a long time, replied: "I hope that when I am 22 years old, my girlfriend can be admitted to a good university."

Xu Nuo pursed her lips. She felt that this was not a wish, so she stretched out her hand to hook Yan Ruyi's waist. She rubbed against Yan Ruyi's neck tiredly, raised her head and said arrogantly to her: "Although wishes can't be said, , and this wish is too simple, but since you mentioned it, I promise to complete the task."

Yan Ruyi touched her face, lowered her eyebrows and smiled at her, the lips that Xu Nuo had eaten off the lip gloss became extremely sexy due to the bloodshot kiss, she pursed her lips, her eyes fell on Xu Nuo's eyes without blinking, After a long time, I slowly said, "I want to give you a gift."

"What gift? My birthday is over."

"Let's go have dinner first." Yan Ruyi didn't answer her, took Xu Nuo's hand, turned and walked out.
