"Are you alright?" Chen Ge helped Du Ming open the lid of the water bottle: "Do you want to drink some water?" ”

Du Ming lay on the table, buried his face in the textbook, and covered his stomach with his hands.

"I didn't mean to, I didn't expect it to be like this."

"What the hell did you do?" Chen Ge was not angry, the eyes in his eyes that looked at Du Ming were more sympathetic.

Du Ming didn't speak again, just shook his head slightly, his mental state was very poor, and he seemed to be about to reach the limit like Chen Ge.

……

After the fourth class, Chen Ge came to the rooftop of the teaching building when no one was around, and Zhang Ya was standing next to the railing.

He silently walked to Zhang Ya's side, and the two looked at the entire Liwan Town together.

The teaching building is a relatively tall building in the town, and this moment reminded Chen Ge of Liwan Town behind Xiaobumen.

At that time, Zhang Ya agreed to his request, and since then they have been inseparable.

The cold wind mixed with the raindrops fell on her face, Zhang Ya pulled the wind-blown hair behind her ears, and she suddenly said, "The teacher may have to leave after a while." ”

"Is it because of me?" Chen Ge had already guessed the ending, he had rehearsed this scene in his mind countless times in the morning, but when Zhang Ya really said it, he couldn't say a word of what he had thought of.

"It's none of your business." Zhang Ya shook her head: "The reason is in me, I always thought that I had walked out of the past and could start a new life with a smile, but this is just self-deception." Being busy, working hard, all of this is an excuse to escape, but after all these years, I still feel like I'm still trapped in that dimly lit dance studio. ”

Standing beside Zhang Ya, Chen Ge grabbed the fence, he could understand Zhang Ya because he was the only person in this world who knew Zhang Ya's past.

Whether it is reality or the world behind the door, Zhang Ya only told him the secret.

"It's the people who make the mistake who spread the rumors, give me some time, and I'll find out everything and let everyone know the truth." Chen Ge has always wanted to do this, even if it is in the world behind the door, even if everything is his memory, he still wants to help Zhang Ya and give the original nightmare a new ending.

"It doesn't matter what the truth is, it's you who matters, I'm afraid that what happened to me will happen to you again." Zhang Ya cares about Chen Ge very much, when the whole town is spreading all kinds of rumors, Chen Ge still stands with her and trusts her unconditionally, this feeling has never been there.

Even though there is a big difference in age, one thing is undeniable, she does feel something different in this man.

"I can leave, I can escape, but you can't." Zhang Ya stood in front of Chen Ge, her face was very close to Chen Ge: "Your father is still in the hospital, and you have a younger sister to take care of, these responsibilities will be pressed on you in the future, and you must not be affected by my affairs." ”

"I probably already know who the rumor is, we can ......"

"Chen Ge." Zhang Ya raised her arm, and her slender fingers stretched out to the cloudy sky: "Leaving does not mean that we will never meet again." ”

Zhang Ya seems to have made up her mind, and if she stays, she will still be talked about behind her back.

In fact, Chen Ge also knew that it was not easy for Zhang Ya to make this decision, she must have thought about it for a long time.

The hand holding the railing turned white, and bloodshot appeared in Chen Ge's eyes, and he took a deep breath: "Sometimes, I feel that this world is very bad, and it will always grab those gentle people to bully. ”

"There is no good or bad world, but when there are more gentle people, the world will become gentle." Zhang Ya stretched out her hand to help Chen Ge straighten out her hair, her cold fingertips stayed on Chen Ge's face: "You have to be a gentle person in the future, go back, you still have to cook for your family, don't delay too much time with me." ”

Retracting her arm, Zhang Ya silently looked at the campus that she had just familiarized, not knowing what she was thinking.

Standing beside Zhang Ya, Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya's back, raised his hands, and then put them down.

He left the rooftop and went to the hospital, and after delivering food to his father, he sold a meal on the side of the road to bring to Luo Ruoyu.

Back in the community where he lived, Chen Ge stopped at the door of his house, usually as long as he heard his footsteps, Luo Ruoyu would run over and open the door, but Luo Ruoyu did not appear today.

"Nothing is going to happen, is it?"

Chen Ge shouted Luo Ruoyu's name loudly, and he vaguely heard the cry coming from the house.

"Ruoyu?"

Opening the door of the house, Chen Ge smelled a pungent smell of gas, and he didn't care about following the rules and rushed directly into the house.

The kitchen floor was covered in water stains, and you could see the fragments of thermos pots all over the floor.

He hurriedly ran into the kitchen and saw Luo Ruoyu curled up in the corner of the kitchen, covering his ears with his hands, and in front of him was a broken thermos.

Her clothes were wet, her neck, arms and fingers were burned, and tears were hanging from her face.

"Who made you angry!" Chen Ge was about to be kicked away by the broken thermos, he had never been so angry as he was now.

Hearing Chen Ge's angry shout, Luo Ruoyu cried even more, her hot red arm was in front of her face, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Turning off the gas, Chen Ge didn't think much about it, picked up Luo Ruoyu and ran outside.

Walking out of the door, a new day began, but Chen Ge didn't care about these at all, he took Luo Ruoyu in a taxi and came to the hospital.

The burn area was not large, mainly concentrated on the arm, and the doctor applied ointment to Luo Ruoyu, but the little girl was still frightened, as if she was frightened.

"It's not a big deal, but your family members must pay attention to it, it's better not to leave mentally handicapped children at home alone, it's too dangerous." The doctor left, and there were only two people left in the ward, Chen Ge and Luo Ruoyu.

The ointment is applied to the wound, and it hurts at first, but gradually it produces a cold feeling.

Luo Ruoyu put her arms on both sides of her body, she didn't dare to look at Chen Ge, she lowered her head and cried very quietly.

After standing in the ward for a while, Chen Ge put down his backpack, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently hugged Luo Ruoyu: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have quarreled with you." ”

The body of the girl in her arms was trembling, she seemed to have been greatly wronged, and she was lying on Chen Ge's shoulder and crying loudly.

"I know you want to help, I know you don't want to drag people down, and I know you work very hard, I know that." Chen Ge slowly hugged Luo Ruoyu tightly: "We are each other's most important family. ”

In the world behind the door, Luo Ruoyu represents his family, as well as the haunted house employees who once had nowhere to go, and the obsession of being "picked up" home by Chen Ge who once hid in the deepest part of despair.

No matter what happens, Chen Ge will stand at the forefront, training to overcome physical defects, companionship late at night, and never stingy encouragement.

Chen Ge didn't ask for anything in return, he did it only because he treated them as family.

Luo Ruoyu fell asleep after crying and tired, but even if she fell asleep, her hand still grabbed the corner of Chen Ge's clothes.

After covering Luo Ruoyu with the quilt on the hospital bed, Chen Ge quietly left the ward, the bloodshot under his eyes became more and more, and the comic book in his backpack also underwent some kind of change.

"The calamity is approaching step by step, and the dream woven with my memories is now for me to end by myself."

Because I went home once in between, it was already a new day.

When Chen Ge came to school, he was halfway through the first class.

He returned to his seat and found that Du Ming, who was never late, had not come to class today.

When the first class was about to end, the teacher came over and asked Chen Ge if he knew why Du Ming didn't come.

Du Ming, who is an honor student, would skip class, which Chen Ge did not expect.

At the beginning of the second class in the morning, only ten minutes later, a woman's slightly harsh voice suddenly came from the corridor: "What do you want to do if you don't want to go to school?" What else can you do? Give me back right away! ”

The woman seemed to be reprimanding someone, but she couldn't hear the voice of the person she was reprimanding, it was only a one-sided blame.

The voice slowly approached the classroom, and then the front door of the classroom was opened, and a woman appeared at the door, she was angry, and her expression was a little terrible: "Not yet?" ”

She dragged her behind her fiercely, and Du Ming was pulled into the classroom by her.

The little fat man was very haggard, and he kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone.

"Get inside!" After the woman said this, she owed to the teacher who was in class, and her voice softened a lot: "This child has slept, and he is afraid of being punished, so he is embarrassed to come." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Du Ming, go back to your place." The teachers who were in class seemed to be a little scared of the woman.

"That's troublesome teacher." The woman's face changed as she spoke, revealing a very fake smile, and then left in a hurry.

After she left, the students in the class began to talk.

"That's Du Ming's mother? is so strict, no wonder Du Ming studied so well. ”

"I thought I'd be as fat as him."

"It looks familiar, yes! Isn't she the parent who ran to the teacher's office last time to make a fuss? ”

"I also remembered it, it was so amazing, I was so scared that Director Shi didn't dare to speak."

"Being disciplined by such a mother, it's quite scary to think about, Du Ming doesn't like to talk, and his bad personality may have something to do with his family."

The sound of discussion came into Du Ming's ears, he buried his head lower, and did not dare to look at anyone, he seemed to be afraid that when he looked up, he would see everyone staring at him.

"Don't take it personally, these guys will talk behind their backs, and if you really stand in front of them, they won't even dare to let out a fart." Unlike other students who whispered, Chen Ge was so loud that everyone including the teacher could hear it.

Maybe this sentence had an effect, or maybe everyone didn't expect Chen Ge to say such a thing, in short, the classroom slowly quieted down.

started class normally again, Chen Ge didn't ask Du Ming why he was late today, after he helped Du Ming speak, he stopped paying attention to Du Ming. On the contrary, Du Ming looked at Chen Ge intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to say something to Chen Ge, but he didn't have the courage to speak.

The bell rang after class, the third period was English class, Du Ming took out the English textbook as usual, but Chen Ge was just leaning against the wall in a daze.

Chen Ge, who is usually the most active in English class, is abnormal today, and Du Ming has a bad premonition in his heart.

The bell rang, but no teacher came for five minutes.

Chen Ge seemed to have known all this, and turned his head to look out the window.

"Chen Ge ......" After a few days, Du Ming finally spoke to Chen Ge again: "Teacher Zhang, is there something wrong today?" Usually she always comes early. ”

"Zhang Ya was dismissed from the school." Chen Ge withdrew his gaze from the window and glanced back at Du Ming: "She won't come to teach us again." ”

"Dismissal?" Du Ming stood up suddenly, everyone in the classroom was studying by themselves, it was very quiet, and everyone heard Du Ming's voice.

"It's obviously all my fault, but she keeps apologizing, and in the end she still hasn't been forgiven." Chen Ge stared at Du Ming's eyes: "I once complained to her, saying why the world always bullies those gentle people, she told me that there is no good or bad in the world, as long as there are more gentle people, the world will become gentle, and more gentle people will be treated kindly." ”

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? Did you already know about this result? Du Ming's eyes were swollen, and his face was red.

"I found out yesterday." Chen Ge paused: "Is it useful to tell you?" ”

"She's gone like that, and you're still sitting here? Don't you like her? Shouldn't you stand up and do something for her? Du Ming was emotional, he grabbed Chen Ge's collar: "Why didn't you stop her?" You ......"

"Bang!"

Before Du Ming finished speaking, his left cheek was hit hard by Chen Ge's fist, and before he could react, he was kicked by Chen Ge in the stomach again, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Who's the squad leader? Come out and organize everyone to have self-study. Chen Ge dragged Du Ming out of the classroom with a bag in one hand and Du Ming's collar in the other.

"Do you know who that teacher is? Do you know what that person means to me? Do you know what happened to her? Chen Ge smashed Du Ming with a punch: "You don't know anything. ”

Pushing open the iron door on the roof of the building, Chen Ge shook his hand and put Du Ming to the ground.

"She's trapped herself in that blood-red world of despair, she hasn't seen the light in a long time, and she's probably forgotten her true self."

"Because of this, I want to leave her a good memory, even if I know it's a dream, I still try hard to weave more beautifully."

Chen Ge grabbed Du Ming's shoulders and slammed him against the wall: "But you didn't even give me a chance to weave a dream." ”

"I don't understand what you're saying, but I know you keep saying you care about her, but you haven't done anything for her! You don't love her at all! You're just lying to her and making her suffer all the pain! Du Ming's face was hideous, and he waved his hands to hit Chen Ge.

"Is this love in your mind?" Chen Ge didn't fight back: "Do you know that love requires qualifications." A seventeen-year-old student, no matter how much you dream and want to get close, you must understand one thing, and your affection is likely to become a problem for her. ”

"Love can make people shine, but it can also make people fall into the abyss."

"If I were really you, I would keep the right distance until one day I can take responsibility and be responsible for myself and for her."

Du Ming's emotions became more and more excited, he was completely out of control, and it seemed that the deepest secret in his heart had been discovered: "You are not me, you don't understand at all." ”

He struggled desperately, and Chen Ge threw a heavy hand this time, kicking him to the ground.

"Smack!"

When Du Ming fell, his mobile phone fell out, the screen was shattered, and through the screen full of cracks, he could see that the desktop background of the mobile phone was Zhang Ya.

This photo seems to have been taken secretly, and Zhang Ya in the photo is talking to someone with a faint smile on her face.

"Do you like her too?" Chen Ge looked at the shattered phone screen and took out the skull crusher from his backpack.

"Don't use the word 'also', you don't deserve it at all, where were you when she was being blamed by everyone? What did you do for her while she was tormented by rumors? Du Ming wiped the blood from his face and got up from the ground: "You didn't do anything, you even retreated timidly because you were a student and she was a teacher, and you didn't even have the courage to speak for her!" ”

Du Ming roared hysterically, he didn't seem to be condemning Chen Ge, but his former self.

"Maybe it seems to you that the distance between teacher and student is far enough to make you desperate, but have you thought about it? There is also a distance in this world, called life and death. Chen Ge figured out all the problems when he saw Du Ming's mobile phone: "You like your teacher, you can do everything you can to work hard, use three or five years, and come back to her when you can take that step." But the distance between life and death may take a lifetime to wait. ”

Picking up the mobile phone on the ground, Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya in the background: "Love, from the moment you meet, death will not end, it will only end when one party chooses to leave." ”
