Chapter 1047: The Distance Between Life and Death (4600)
"Are you okay?" Chen Ge helped Du Ming open the lid of the water bottle: "Do you want some water?"
Du Ming lay on the table, buried his face in the textbook, and covered his stomach with his hands.
"I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"What did you do?" Chen Ge wasn't angry, he looked at Du Ming more with sympathy.
Du Ming didn't speak any more, just shook his head slightly. His mental state was very poor, and he seemed to be reaching the limit just like Chen Ge.
...
After the fourth class, Chen Ge came to the roof of the teaching building when no one was there, and Zhang Ya was standing by the railing.
He silently walked to Zhang Ya's side, and the two looked at the whole Liwan Town together.
The teaching building is considered a relatively tall building in the small town. At this moment, Chen Ge couldn't help but think of Liwan Town behind the Xiaobu Gate.
At that time Zhang Ya agreed to his request, and they have been inseparable ever since.
The cold wind mixed with raindrops fell on her face, Zhang Ya brushed her hair disheveled by the wind behind her ears, and she suddenly said, "Teacher may have to leave in a while."
"Is it because of me?" Chen Ge had already guessed the ending. He had rehearsed this scene countless times in his mind all morning, but when Zhang Ya really said it, he couldn't say a single word he had in mind.
"It has nothing to do with you." Zhang Ya shook her head: "The reason lies in me. I always thought that I had walked out of the past and could start a new life with a smile, but this was just deceiving myself. Busy, hard work, all Everything is an excuse to escape, in fact, after all these years, I still feel trapped in that dark dance studio."
Standing beside Zhang Ya, Chen Ge grasped the fence tightly. He could understand Zhang Ya, because he was the only person in this world who knew about Zhang Ya's past.
No matter the reality or the world behind the door, Zhang Ya only told him the secret.
"The ones who make mistakes are those who spread rumors. Give me some time, and I will 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 own. He still wants to help Zhang Ya and give the original nightmare a new ending.
"It doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters is you. I'm afraid that what happened to me will happen to you again." Zhang Ya cared about Chen Ge very much. When the whole town was spreading various rumors, Chen Ge Ge is still standing with her, trusting her unconditionally, this feeling has never been felt before.
Even though there was a big age difference, one thing was undeniable, she did feel something different in this man.
"I can leave and 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. The responsibility will be on you, and you must not be affected by what happened to me."
"I probably already know who the person spreading the rumor is, we can..."
"Chen Ge." Zhang Ya raised her arm, and stretched her slender fingers towards the cloudy sky: "Leaving does not mean that we will never see each other again."
Zhang Ya seemed to have made up her mind to stay, but she would still be talked about behind her back.
In fact, Chen Ge also knew that it was not easy for Zhang Yaneng to make this decision. She must have thought about it for a long time.
The hand holding the railing turned white, bloodshot eyes appeared in Chen Ge's eyes, he took a deep breath: "Sometimes, I feel that this world is very bad, it will always grab those gentle people and bully them. "
"There is no distinction between good and bad in the world, but if there are more gentle people, the world will become gentle." Zhang Ya stretched out her hand to help Chen Ge tidy up the wind-blown hair, and her cold fingertips rested on Chen Ge's face: "From now on, you also have to be a gentle person,
Go back, you still have to cook for your family, don't waste too much time with me. "
Withdrawing her arms, Zhang Ya silently looked at the campus she was just familiar with, 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 again.
He left the rooftop and went to the hospital. After delivering food to his father, he sold another meal on the side of the road and prepared to bring it to Luo Ruoyu.
Back in the community where he lived, Chen Ge stopped at the door of his house. Normally, whenever he heard his footsteps, Luo Ruoyu would run over to open the door, but today Luo Ruoyu did not appear.
"Is something going to happen?"
Chen Ge shouted Luo Ruoyu's name loudly, and he vaguely heard crying from the house.
"Ruoyu?"
Opening the door, Chen Ge smelled a pungent smell of gas. He didn't care about following the rules and rushed into the house.
The floor of the kitchen is full of water stains, and fragments of the gallbladder of thermos bottles can be seen all over the floor.
He hurried into the kitchen and saw Luo Ruoyu curled up in the corner of the kitchen, covering his ears with his hands, and a broken thermos bottle in front of him.
Her clothes were wet, her neck, arms and fingers were burned, and tears were streaming down her face.
"Who made you angry!" Chen Ge kicked the broken thermos bottle away, he had never been so angry like now.
Hearing Chen Ge's angry shout, Luo Ruoyu cried even harder, with her red arms resting on her face, tears could not stop streaming down.
After turning off the gas, Chen Ge didn't think much, picked up Luo Ruoyu and ran outside.
After walking out of the room, a new day began, but Chen Ge didn't care about it at all. He took Luo Ruoyu in his arms and took a taxi to the hospital.
The area of the burn was not too big, mainly concentrated on the arm. The doctor applied ointment to Luo Ruoyu, but the little girl was still in shock, as if she had been terrified.
"There is no serious problem, but your family members must pay attention. It is best not to leave mentally handicapped children alone at home. It is too dangerous." The doctor left, and there were only two people left in the ward, Chen Ge and Luo Ruoyu.
When the ointment is applied to the wound, it hurts at first, but gradually it will produce 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 softly.
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 disturb you."
The girl in her arms was shaking. She seemed to have been wronged a lot, and she lay on Chen Ge's shoulder and cried loudly.
"I know you want to help, I know you don't want to drag others down, and I know you work very hard, I understand." Chen Ge slowly hugged Luo Ruoyu tightly: "We are each other's most important family."
In the world behind the door, Luo Ruoyu represents the family, also represents those haunted house employees who have nowhere to go, and represents those obsessions that were once hidden in the deepest depths of despair and were "picked up" by Chen Ge to go home.
No matter what happens, Chen Ge will stand at the forefront, training to overcome physical defects, company late at night, and never stingy with encouragement.
Chen Ge didn't ask for anything in return, he did so only because he regarded them as his family.
Luo Ruoyu fell asleep after crying tired, but even if she fell asleep, her hand was still clutching the corner of Chen Ge's clothes.
After covering Luo Ruoyu with the quilt on the hospital bed, Chen Ge quietly left the ward. His eyes became more and more bloodshot, and the manga book in his backpack also changed.
"Calamity is approaching every step of the way. The dream weaved with my memory, let me end it myself now."
Because I went home once in the middle, this is already a new day.
When Chen Ge came to the school, he was halfway through the first class.
He returned to his seat and found that Du Ming, who was never late, did not come to class today.
When the first period was about to end, the teacher came over to ask Chen Ge if he knew why Du Ming didn't come.
As a top student, Du Ming would skip class, something Chen Ge never expected.
The second class in the morning started, and only ten minutes later, a woman's harsh voice suddenly came from the corridor: "What else do you want to do if you don't want to go to school? What else do you want to do? Go back to me immediately!"
The woman seemed to be reprimanding someone, but she couldn't hear the voice of the person she reprimanded. This was just 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 furious, with a scary expression: "Aren't you coming?"
She pulled back fiercely, and Du Ming was pulled into the classroom by her.
This little fat man was very haggard. He lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.
"Go in quickly!" After the woman finished saying this, she bowed to the teacher who was in class, her voice softened a lot: "This child has slept through and is afraid of being punished, so I'm sorry to come here."
"It's okay, it's okay, Du Ming, go back to your seat." The teacher who was in class seemed a little afraid of that woman.
"That's troublesome teacher." The woman's face changed as soon as she said it, showing a fake smile, and then left in a hurry.
After she left, the students in the class started talking.
"That's Du Ming's mother? She's so strict, no wonder Du Ming studies so well."
"I thought his mother would be as fat as him."
"It looks familiar, by the way! Isn't she the parent who went to the teacher's office to make a fuss last time?"
"I remembered it too. It was so powerful that Director Shi was too scared to speak."
"Being disciplined by such a mother is quite scary when you think about it. Du Ming doesn't like to talk. His bad personality may have something to do with his family."
The voice of discussion reached Du Ming's ears. He buried his head lower, not daring to look at anyone. He seemed afraid that when he looked up, he would see everyone staring at him.
"Don't take it to heart, these guys will talk behind your back. If you really stand in front of them, they won't even dare to fart." Unlike other students who whispered, Chen Ge's voice was very loud, including the teacher I heard it all.
It may be that this sentence has an effect, or it may be that everyone did not expect Chen Ge to say such a thing. In short, the classroom gradually became quiet.
Classes resumed normally. Chen Ge didn't ask Du Ming why he was late today. After he helped Du Ming talk, he stopped paying attention to Du Ming. Instead, 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 for the end of get out of class rang, and the third period was English class. Du Ming took out his English textbook as usual, but Chen Ge just leaned against the wall in a daze.
Chen Ge, who is usually the most active in English class, behaved uncharacteristically today, and Du Ming had a bad feeling in his heart.
The class bell rang, but after five minutes, no teacher came.
Chen Ge seemed to know all this already, and turned his head to look out the window.
"Chen Ge..." After a few days, Du Ming finally spoke to Chen Ge again: "Is Teacher Zhang busy today? She always comes early."
"Zhang Ya was dismissed by the school." Chen Ge withdrew his gaze from the window, and glanced back at Du Ming: "She won't come to teach us again."
"Fired?" 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 kept apologizing, but in the end she was still not forgiven." Chen Ge stared into Du Ming's eyes: "I once complained to her, saying why the world always bullies those gentle She told me that there is no distinction between good and 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 earlier? Did you already know the result?" Du Ming's eyes were swollen, and his face was flushed.
"I found out yesterday." Chen Ge paused: "Is it useful to tell you?"
"She just left, and you are 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: "You Why didn't you stop her? You..."
"Boom!"
Before Du Ming finished speaking, Chen Ge's fist hit him hard on the left side of the face. Before he could react, Chen Ge kicked him in the stomach again, and he fell to the ground.
"Who is the class monitor? Come out and organize everyone to go to self-study." Chen Ge dragged Du Ming out of the classroom with a handbag and the collar of Du Ming.
"Do you know who that teacher is? Do you know what that person means to me? Do you know what she's been through?" Chen Ge punched Du Ming, "You don't know anything. do not know."
Pushing open the iron door on the roof, Chen Ge threw Du Ming to the ground.
"She trapped herself in that blood-red world of despair. She hasn't seen the light for a long time. She may have even forgotten who she really is."
"Because of this, I want to leave a good memory for her. Even though I know it's a dream, I still work hard to make it more beautiful."
Chen Ge grabbed Du Ming's shoulder and knocked 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 ferocious, he waved his hands and 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 longing, no matter how close you want to be, you have to understand This matter, your admiration is likely to become her trouble."
"Love can make people shine, but it can also make people fall into the abyss."
"If I were really you, I would keep a proper distance until one day I could take responsibility and be responsible for myself and her before going to her."
Du Ming's emotions became more and more agitated, and he was completely out of control. It seemed that someone had discovered the deepest secret in his heart: "You are not me, you don't understand at all."
He struggled desperately, but Chen Ge hit him hard this time and kicked him to the ground.
"Snapped!"
When Du Ming fell, his mobile phone fell out, and the screen was shattered. Through the cracked screen, Zhang Ya could be seen on the desktop background of the mobile phone.
This photo seems to be taken secretly. In the photo, Zhang Ya is talking with 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 accused by everyone? What did you do for her when she was tortured by rumors?" Du Ming wiped the blood off his face , Get up from the ground: "You didn't do anything, you even retreated timidly because you are a student and she is a teacher, and you don't even have the courage to speak for her!"
Du Ming roared hysterically. It seemed that he was not reprimanding Chen Ge, but his former self. .
"Perhaps in your opinion, the distance between teachers and students is far enough to make you despair, but have you considered it? There is still a distance in this world called life and death." When Chen Ge saw Du Ming's cell phone All the questions are clear: "You like your teacher, you can do everything you can to work hard, use it for three or five years, and come back to her when you can take that step. But the distance between life and death , It 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 we meet, death will not end, only when one party chooses to leave."
