Chapter Twenty-Three: Isolation, Illness

The news that Meng Jiayue was asked by the teacher to talk about spread throughout the class in one morning, but Ruan Yu, as one of the centers of discussion, did not notice it at all, and everyone seemed to subconsciously ignore her and isolate her from the topic.

And as the weather gets colder and colder in winter, Ruan Yu basically can't go out of the classroom, so Li Yanyan, the only person who has the potential to tell her these rumors, has no chance to talk to her.

Meng Jiayue also rarely went out of the classroom, and he sat in his position most of the time, unless there was something that required him as the class leader to come forward. In this way, Ruan Yu will not get out of his seat casually, and in addition to talking to Meng Jiayue every day after school at school, he is only left to be in a daze and write homework.

And Ruan Yu also found that if she touched Meng Jiayue's things, such as using his pen, the classmates around her stared at her, as if she had done something heinous, and she was stared at a lot, and Ruan Yu didn't dare to take Meng Jiayue's things at will like before, although Meng Jiayue said let her take it casually.

In this kind of atmosphere, Ruan Yu didn't dare to make any moves that would make people look sideways, for fear of being gossiped behind her back, and she didn't know how to talk to Meng Jiayue, the consequence was that Ruan Yu became more and more silent.

She hardly talked to anyone in the class, and the consequence was that she gradually became estranged from her classmates, and she didn't care about others, and others didn't want to talk to her.

Meng Jiayue discovered this at the right time, he brought books from home to school, all of which Ruan Yu had never read, but they were very attractive comic books, composition books, popular science books, children's literature, etc., so that Ruan Yu could read them when he was bored after class.

In this way, Ruan Yu found something to pass the time when she was bored, and she became even more obsessed with reading, and because Meng Jiayue was watching, her grades did not fluctuate greatly.

It's a little difficult just to take physical education class, at first Ruan Yu was standing at the head of the line, but gradually even when Ruan Yu didn't come back to her senses, she had already been squeezed to the bottom position, but Ruan Yu was tall, compared with a bunch of short people standing at the end, it was really too obvious.

And if the teacher asks her to do sit-ups, Ruan Yu can't find anyone to help, all she can do is to find a place to stand alone and watch others do it.

Of course, if Meng Jiayue is in charge of recording the results, she can pass directly, if it is the sports class leader, and Meng Jiayue helps to say, she can basically pass, so she doesn't have to sweat at all.

Before physical education class, Meng Jiayue would give Ruan Yu a pack of snacks, just enough to fit in his pocket, or small biscuits, or white rabbit toffee, or chocolate, or marshmallows, so that Ruan Yu could watch others sweat tired while eating.

There are two physical education classes a week, one of which is the first class in the afternoon, and after the class, I have to go to the computer room to take a computer class, which is generally very relaxed.

Meng Jiayue was called away by the teacher before the end of class, so Ruan Yu could only go to the computer class alone, originally this class was taken with the fourth class, but when I arrived at the computer room, I learned that the fourth class temporarily adjusted the course, and the math teacher changed a class, so this computer class was one class and three classes together.

Ruan Yu found a corner to sit on, and not long after the class bell rang, Li Yanyan bowed over and came over secretly.

"Ruan Yu." Li Yanyan sat down on the stool next to her, lowered her voice and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time, and it's really tightly hidden." ”

Ruan Yu hadn't seen Li Yanyan for a while, and she was dull for a while before she remembered and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Of course there is." Li Yanyan didn't dare to speak loudly, but fortunately, the two machines next to her were broken, no one was sitting there, and she wouldn't be heard by others.

"Do you know how people tell you?"

Ruan Yu's heart beat wildly, and suddenly she had a bad premonition, she almost subconsciously shook her head, and asked according to Li Yanyan's words: "How did it spread?" But my heart unconsciously pinched.

"I really don't know?" Li Yanyan was a little hard to believe, and then said it all in one go: "They said that you like Meng Jiayue, and Meng Jiayue, who was also harmful, was criticized by the teacher, and then there are people who don't treat themselves as outsiders, and use Meng Jiayue's things casually, and also said that you have a lot of boyfriends, so you like to play with boys, and you usually ignore people, especially able to pretend, one on the surface and one behind the back." Anyway, what's even worse than this is that it's all about you, what the hell is going on? ”

Li Yanyan was anxious, grabbed Ruan Yu's arm and asked, "Ruan Yu, tell me, did you do something misleading?" ”

"I don't know." Ruan Yu shook his head in a daze, only to feel a "boom" in his head, and instantly the blood in his whole body rushed to his face, his ears were ringing, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, and he didn't react for a long time.

The game she had just opened on the computer was not yet related, and the moles came out of the hole one by one, and the cheerful music continued to play, but Ruan Yu's thoughts had already drifted away and became a mess.

It took a long time for Ruan Yu to wake up suddenly, she lowered her head in a panic, avoided Li Yanyan's gaze, and stirred her fingers indiscriminately, but her mind was full of the words that Li Yanyan had just said, and she felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, her fingers unconsciously picked at her pants, and she only felt that her throat was tight and it hurt badly.

"Don't feel bad, anyway, if I didn't say it to your face, it would be treated as air." Li Yanyan didn't dare to say any more when she saw her like this, she didn't feel good when she heard this for the first time, let alone Ruan Yu, who was said so.

Li Yanyan didn't believe those rumors, after all, she sat at the same table with Ruan Yu for a semester, and she thought she still knew her, so when she heard these words, she didn't follow the foolishness, and even said some things that she didn't know if they were true or false.

At the beginning, Li Yanyan heard these rumors without naming them, only saying that they were a certain girl in the first class, and she didn't think about Ruan Yu until she learned later, and the rumors had fermented throughout the grade.

"Li Yanyan, aren't you coming back?" Across the aisle, a girl from Class 3 shouted.

"Okay, I'll be right away." Li Yanyan got up and replied in a loud voice.

Turning her head to see that Ruan Yu was still lowering her head, Li Yanyan didn't know what to say, and her friend over there was urging her to go over again, so she said to Ruan Yu: "Don't feel bad, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, she left, and as soon as she left, Ruan Yu took the opportunity to lie down on the computer table, raised her hand to secretly wipe away her tears, and unconsciously picked the mouse and muttered: "Meng Jiayue." ”

When Ruan Yu read it for the twenty-third time, Meng Jiayue finally came back, but he didn't look for Ruan Yu first, and he didn't even look here, but called all the class representatives out, there should be something to discuss, and he stayed in the corridor outside the door for a long time.

Ruan Yu stared at the door for a moment, she didn't know what they were talking about, she lowered her head and felt in her pocket to take out a candy to eat, but found that the pocket was empty.

The game was long over, and she couldn't play it on the computer, so she stared at the time in the lower right corner of the taskbar, counting it second by second. Ruan Yu didn't know what she was doing, but suddenly she realized that time was passing so slowly.

It wasn't until the end of the computer class that Meng Jiayue came in again, and Ruan Yu sat in his position and didn't leave, staring at his fingers in a daze.

Meng Jiayue came over and rubbed her head and asked, "What's wrong?" Dejected. ”

A bunch of words came to his lips, Ruan Yu looked up at him, and said half-loudly: "I want to eat sugar." ”

"Milk candy or chocolate?" Meng Jiayue took out a handful of candy from his pocket, picked it up, selected a white rabbit toffee, peeled off the candy paper and fed Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu dodged back, avoided his hand, turned his head to look at both sides, and saw that there was no one in the computer room, so he dared to open his mouth to hold the candy.

Meng Jiayue saw it but didn't say anything, smiled and pulled Ruan Yu up, and the two walked out of the computer room together.

When she got home from school, Ruan Yu didn't go to Meng Jiayue as usual, but stayed at home to do her homework, which lasted nearly two hours, and when she came back to her senses, it was dark outside.

The street lights in the community are lit up one after another, and you can see the streets outside brightly lit and vehicles coming and going from a distance. Ruan Yu put away her homework, and as soon as she got up, she felt the cold shivering on her body, she shrank down and took several breaths of hot air on her cold hands, and rubbed it vigorously to feel better.

Ruan Yu went to the balcony and looked downstairs, but she didn't see her car in the parking space below, at first Ruan Yu thought that her parents were on the road and hadn't arrived home yet, so she planned to wait a little longer, but she continued to wait until seven o'clock and didn't see anyone open the door and come back.

Ruan Yu estimated that her parents would not come back, but she still tried to call their mobile phone, but the ringtone on the other end of the phone rang for a long time and no one answered, Ruan Yu had to give up for the time being and wanted to call later.

Seeing that the time is already more than seven o'clock, Ruan Yue basically does not come back in the afternoon because she has self-study in the evening, she buys food at school, and it is estimated that the evening self-study has already begun, and she can't get off class at half past eight. As for Ruan Kangming, she hasn't come back for so long, Ruan Yu thinks and knows that she must have been picked up by her parents, and she is definitely not hungry.

There was no trace of popularity in the room, it was as cold as an ice cellar, Ruan Yu couldn't stand it, she stomped her feet and walked back and forth in the house a few times, she wanted to go to bed and cover it with a quilt, so warm, but she gave up before she thought about it, and went to get a blanket instead, she didn't dare to turn on the air conditioner, for fear that Ruan's mother would come back and scold her for wasting electricity.

Ruan Yu wrapped in a blanket and sat on the sofa for a while, her stomach growled with hunger before she got up and went to the refrigerator to see if there was anything to eat.

It's a pity that Ruan's mother likes to buy clothes, shoes and bags, but she doesn't like to buy food, the snacks at home have long been eaten, there is only a handful of small cabbage in the refrigerator, and a small piece of dry steamed buns that I don't know who eats the leftovers, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things left, but they are not edible.

Looking at the storage room again, the rice at home had been eaten yesterday, and the flour was there, but Ruan Yu didn't know how to mix noodles, a small bag of soybeans, what could be eaten Ruan Yu didn't know. Relatives came to the house to send something, but basically they were all drunk, such as yogurt, walnut dew, juice and the like, Ruan Yu finally turned out a bottle of eight-treasure porridge, which had expired for a month.

After looking around and not finding anything to eat, Ruan Yu took a bottle of yogurt, returned to the living room, turned on the TV, and nestled on the sofa to watch TV.

I don't know if it's her delusion, I feel that today's yogurt is much colder than usual, but Ruan Yuzheng feels hot all over, and it is more comfortable to drink some cold to the stomach.

At eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door, Ruan Yu went over to open the door, and Meng Jiayue came in from outside, wearing his blue cotton coral velvet pajamas in winter.

"What's wrong? looks like you're going to cry, are you being bullied by someone? Meng Jiayue touched Ruan Yu's cheek, grabbed her hand and rubbed it in her hand, while saying, "Your face is so hot, why are your hands so cold?" ”

"Nope." After speaking, Ruan Yu found that her throat hurt uncomfortably, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

Meng Jiayue frowned slightly, raised his hand to Ruan Yu's forehead to test the temperature, and immediately felt that his hand was hot like a stove, his face instantly became ugly, and he didn't say much, he immediately pulled Ruan Yu and dragged her to his house, and shouted to Aunt Chen: "Mom, quickly take out the thermometer, Ruan Yu has a fever." ”

"What's going on?" Aunt Chen was watching TV in the living room, and when she heard this, she hurriedly took out the thermometer from the drawer and hurriedly handed it to Meng Jiayue.

After taking her temperature, she knew that Ruan Yu's high fever was already 39 degrees Celsius, so she was so frightened that Aunt Chen hurriedly took Ruan Yu to the clinic outside the community to see a doctor.

When I went out, I realized that it was snowing outside, and the ground was thin and white, and it looked like it had just rained for a short time, but it was cold enough, and the cold wind poured into people's clothes when walking on the road. When she arrived at the clinic, Aunt Chen told the doctor about the situation, and then the doctor took Ruan Yu's temperature again, and then said that she would hang up the water.

As soon as she heard that she was going to get a needle, Ruan Yu was immediately so frightened that she hid behind Meng Jiayue, but knowing that she was sick, she didn't dare to say that she wouldn't get a needle. Seeing that the time on the clock passed minute by minute, and when the doctor prepared the medicine and the hanging water bottle was hung up, Ruan Yu instantly softened.

looked at Meng Jiayue pitifully and said, "I'm afraid." ”

"Don't be afraid." Meng Jiayue was so comforting, but at this time, he was not merciful at all, pressed Ruan Yu on the chair, covered her eyes and told the doctor to hurry up.

In fact, it hurt when the needle was pricked when hanging the hanging water, and Ruan Yu was not afraid after that, but because Meng Jiayue and Aunt Chen were there, Ruan Yu was bold, and after the doctor got it, he leaned back to the back of the chair and found a comfortable position to sit.

But after hanging the water for a while, Ruan Yu felt chills all over her body, and couldn't help but hold her arms and tremble.

"It's cold, isn't it?" Aunt Chen slowed down the speed of the infusion, and said, "It's cold at night, and the potions are still cold, I'll go back and get a blanket, Jiayue, you are optimistic about Xiaoyu." ”

"Okay, it's snowing outside, Mom, be careful when you walk." Meng Jiayue said and sat down on the chair next to him.

Aunt Chen called Ruan's mother before leaving, and this time she got through, only to learn that she and Ruan's father went to a colleague's wedding and couldn't come back for a while.

As soon as Aunt Chen left, there were only two people left in the infusion room, Ruan Yu and Meng Jiayue, the snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of snowflakes falling sounded clearly in her ears, Ruan Yu secretly raised her eyes to look at Meng Jiayue, and when she saw his cold face, she didn't dare to speak, only rubbed her fingers back and forth crampedly.

"The fever is so bad that you don't even notice it?" Meng Jiayue suddenly spoke, looking at Ruan Yu's gaze more stern than ever.

Ruan Yu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, licked her dry lips, and whispered, "It's just nothing!" How did I know it was a fever! ”

Meng Jiayue sighed, pulled Ruan Yu's excessively long bangs behind his ear, and then said helplessly: "Stupid, why don't you look for me?" ”

When Ruan Yu heard this, her eyes were hot, and she almost didn't cry, she snorted and said aggrievedly: "I just don't want to look for you." ”

"Why are you still wronged?"

"I ...... I...... I am hungry. Ruan Yu wiped her tears and sobbed quietly, and said this sentence intermittently.

Meng Jiayue rubbed her head and asked, "Then what do you want to eat?" ”

"If you want to drink porridge, don't drink salty porridge, but sweet."

"Okay, buy it for you, wait for me obediently."
