don't force me

When Lin Tingan walked into the school gate, his nostrils were almost up to the sky. Du Xuan followed behind him, looking at his neck that was about to break, and was very happy. The little boy whose face was parallel to the ceiling seemed to be back.

Sun Rui said from a long distance: "Oh, An Shao, what about your face? Why do I only see the chin."

Lin Tingan snorted: "Kneel down, you poor mortal!"

Sun Rui put the schoolbag in Lin Tingan's arms without saying a word.

"Ouch!" Lin Tingan bent down suddenly, "Why is it so heavy, what is it filled here?"

"Knowledge, heavy knowledge." Sun Rui said, "People with knowledge walk with their heads bowed in awe, unlike you."

Du Xuan put one hand on the shoulders of the two of them: "It's all right, you two, you are so poor."

Sun Rui laughed: "Xiao Anzi, you can do it. I heard it when I first arrived at the school. You are going to show off again at the flag-raising ceremony today."

Lin Tingan said triumphantly, "It's a pity that Du Xuan is not the host."

Sun Rui said: "Come on, you kid, be more modest, don't be smug on stage again, you think you're not attractive enough?"

Du Xuan stood still and said to Lin Ting'an seriously: "Have you really thought about it? Quitting now is equivalent to giving up the qualification of a sports student."

Lin Tingan: "We have already discussed this."

Du Xuan: "Okay, since it's a farewell performance, let's make a fuss, or we won't have the chance in the future."

Sun Rui sighed and shook his head.

As expected, Lin Tingan was stunned. When the track and field team came to the stage, he walked in the first place with his head upright, and the three plaques on his chest jingled.After Hu Kun spoke, Lin Tingan stood on the edge of the leading exercise platform holding the microphone. First, he looked around the people on the playground in silence, raised his chin slightly, and glanced down... A few seconds later, Class 1, Grade [-] There was a sharp and long whistle in the team, and then the whole second grade exploded.

"Oh oh oh, Lin Ting'an!"

"Young Master An, cow!"

"..."

Du Xuan applauded along with the third-year team, and Lin Ting'an, who was provocatively provoking the audience with his thumb, stood on the stage again.

Lin Tingan waited for a while and said, "Thank you everyone."

The cheers on the field fell silent.

Lin Tingan first thanked the school for its care for the track and field team, and thanked Coach Hu Kun for his training.Although there are not many words, but the sincerity of the words is that I have memorized the manuscript in advance.Du Xuan smiled lightly, it seems that Zheng Ziyan helped him write such an old-fashioned word.

Lin Tingan said: "In addition to the school and teachers, I would also like to thank my friends. They have encouraged me, comforted me, and helped me solve various difficulties for so many years. This is my goal and motivation. Without these, I would not be able to get to where I am today. This step."

Zheng Ziyan in the audience proudly puffed out his chest, feeling that he really deserved some credit. After all, Xiao Anzi took notes for him during the training and competition.

Lin Tingan said solemnly on stage: "Thank you for meeting you in my life."

"You're welcome," Du Xuan said softly in her heart, "I'm glad to meet you too."

Lin Tingan said: "In a few months, I will be in my third year of high school, and I will leave the track and field team. Here I would like to thank Coach Hu, not only for training me for three years, but also because, as early as last year, he wanted to I 'knocked out' the track team."

There was a small commotion in the audience, everyone looked at Hu Kun in surprise, Hu Kun snorted and pointed at Lin Tingan, but there was a smile on the corner of his eyes and eyebrows.

Lin Ting'an said: "At that time, Coach Hu said that I should not go out of my way to pursue my own dreams. He also said that he hoped that the runway would be my starting point rather than the end point."

The headmaster standing by gave Hu Kun a weird look, but Hu Kun didn't care.

Lin Tingan said: "Sometimes I wonder, where can I find such a good coach? So, no matter what, I must bring back a sign and give it to him."

As he spoke, Lin Tingan took off the medals around his neck, handed the silver and bronze medals to Hu Kun, and bowed respectfully.Hu Kun took the sign with body temperature, wanted to touch Lin Tingan's head, and finally slapped him hard on the back.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the host next to him held up the microphone and asked, "Then Lin Tingan, who do you want to give this gold medal to?"

Lin Tingan said frankly: "Give it to my most important family."

The host took over the topic and started to talk about "hard work" and "gratitude".Lin Tingan looked over the black head on the playground and looked at the position of Class 1 of the third year of high school.Standing in the last row of the line, Du Xuan took off her school uniform jacket, revealing her snow-white shirt.

Lin Tingan grasped the little white spot in an instant. Looking at the white spot, he suddenly raised his hands, raised his two thumbs high, and moved slowly from the east to the west of the playground, and then from the east to the west. The west moved to the east, and then he yelled "Three Middles"!

The track and field team members behind were brought up inexplicably, raised their hands together, and shouted "Come on, No. [-] Middle School" in unison!

Du Xuan waved his arms and shouted "Come on" along with a group of people on the playground!

Come on, come on Xiaoan!

That night, Zhou Man saw a golden medal next to the plane on Du Xuan's desk, she picked it up to look at it, and asked, "Whose is this? Lin Tingan's?"

"En." Du Xuan nodded calmly.

"Why did you run here?"

"He retired and sent me as a souvenir."

Zhou Man smiled: "It's a big deal, the gold medals are all given away."

Du Xuan said nonchalantly, "He has a box of this brand."

Zhou Man said: "Why didn't he run away? It's a pity to give up now after running for three years. Otherwise, he can still go to individual special students. Many universities can recruit only one-line special students."

Du Xuan paused while writing homework, and said, "The university and major he wants to attend don't recruit special students."

Zhou Man clicked his tongue: "Look, I said at the beginning not to be a special student. It's good to study honestly, and the training will waste time. Now it's halfway, and I have left so much homework, how can I make up for it?" ?”

"He can do it." Du Xuan was not angry, but said lightly, there was no doubt in his words.

Zhou Man looked at him, put down the sign in his hand and changed the subject: "Let me know as soon as tomorrow is out."

Du Xuan said "hmm", then lowered her head and continued to do her homework.

Zhou Man walked out gently, and Du Xuan clearly heard the sound of closing the door.He turned his head and glanced at the tightly closed door, then touched the golden medal.

Xiaoan, you can do it, come on!

Let's all work hard!

On Tuesday, Lin Tingan went to the third floor five times a day.Sun Rui smiled and said to Du Xuan, "Your supervisor is here again."

Lin Ting'an didn't want to talk to Sun Rui, but anxiously asked Du Xuan why he didn't score yet.

Sun Rui said: "The score has been released long ago, but the city's ranking has not yet been released...but it can be estimated."

"How much?" Lin Tingan asked repeatedly, he always felt that the flustered feeling before departure was not a good sign.

"No. 2 in grade, more than 30 points ahead of No.[-], the top [-] in the city is a certainty." Sun Rui sighed, pointed at Du Xuan's head and said, "People like you are the public enemy of the whole people."

Lin Tingan breathed a long sigh of relief: "The baby is scared to death."

Du Xuan said, "Don't worry if I told you earlier, you should be quite clear about my grades."

Lin Tingan wiped off his cold sweat: "It's just nervous."

While the three were talking, Du Xuan's class teacher, Mr. Niu, came over with a thick stack of printing paper. When he saw them, he smiled and said, "Du Xuan, congratulations!"

Lin Tingan rushed over with a "wow": "Is the ranking out, how many, how many?"

Teacher Niu, who is in his 40s, was probably overjoyed, and even put his hands behind his back playfully: "Guess."

"Fifty?" Lin Tingan followed Sun Rui's words and guessed a conservative number.

Teacher Niu shook his head: "Young man, you need to be more courageous."

"Three, thirty?" Sun Rui stuttered, and even Du Xuan's eyes widened.

Teacher Niu continued to shake his head: "This is too much to pursue."

"I can't... get into the top [-], right?" Sun Rui tugged on Du Xuan's arm, his voice trembling with excitement, "Our school hasn't scored this far yet."

"Seventeen!"

"I...fuck you!" Sun Rui couldn't help but shouted, only to realize that the teacher was standing beside him after shouting.Teacher Niu was also very happy, he just pointed at Sun Rui and didn't say anything.

Du Xuan couldn't react a little bit, he asked in a daze; "No.17 in the whole district?"

"Citywide."

"The whole city! The whole city! The whole city!" Lin Tingan grabbed Du Xuan's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Du Xuan, you are No.17 in the whole city!"

Du Xuan was a little dazed, being swayed by Lin Tingan and unable to stand up, Sun Rui hugged Du Xuan: "Awesome!"

Lin Tingan instantly threw "The City's No. 17" out of the blue, and pushed Sun Rui to let go of his hand with a slap, and took two steps back.

"I..." Du Xuan stood firm and collected himself, "Is that awesome?"

Teacher Niu couldn't take it anymore, and couldn't bear to interrupt their carnival, so he pretended not to hear and went to the office with the list.

Lin Tingan looked at Du Xuan: "No.17 in the city, Du Xuan, look at the whole of China, you can choose any university you want."

Du Xuan: "I've already chosen."

With the city's No.17 ranking, Du Xuan suddenly felt pressured.This thing is so strange, when he was in the [-]s or [-]s in the whole district, he felt that the Beijing Medical University was very secure.When I climbed to the top ten in the city, I always felt like I was lucky.

Lin Ting'an comforted him: "Don't be nervous, really, one-shot is the most difficult. If one can pass the exam, the college entrance examination will definitely be fine."

Du Xuan picked out all the key questions that were marked on "May [-]" and planned to do it again. He bit his pen and said, "I am not at ease. I still have loopholes in the probability part. I have to..."

Lin Ting'an stood up and closed Du Xuan's books: "Let's go, let's not go to night self-study today, go home early."

Du Xuan pointed to the full study room and said in a low voice, "Look, everyone is busy studying."

Lin Ting'an drooped the corner of his mouth and hummed: "I want to go home early, can you accompany me?"

Du Xuan looked at the thick stack of exercise books on the table, gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's go."

It was the end of April, and it was getting dark late. When the two of them left the school, the sun was still tremblingly hanging behind the building.Lin Tingan said: "After the college entrance examination, let's go out for a trip."

Du Xuan said absent-mindedly, "Well, that's fine."

"Let's go to the beach."

"Row."

"Just the two of us?"

"it is good."

Lin Tingan stood still and said seriously: "Du Xuan, have you ever thought about what will happen if you fail to pass the Beijing Medical Conference?"

Du Xuan froze for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "To be honest, no."

"I've thought about it." Lin Tingan stretched his waist, his schoolbag was hanging on his right shoulder, and he couldn't drop it.He was very thin, his uniform trousers hung at the crotch, and the trouser legs were piled up at the ankles, and the first button of the white shirt was never buttoned, showing a beautiful neck line.He just stood there, lazily, but his whole body exuded a calm and confident brilliance.

"Oh? What if you fail the exam?" Du Xuan asked.

Lin Tingan said: "You can go to Fudan Medical College, and you can also go to Sichuan Medicine. If you take Sichuan Medicine, I can go to Civil Aviation Flight University of China, which is located in Guanghan, Sichuan, 47 kilometers away from Chengdu, half an hour by train. There are seven or eight trains a day, and the second-class seat is only 18 yuan."

Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan, but was speechless.

Lin Tingan: "Of course, the Civil Aviation Flight Academy of China is far behind Beihang University, but its aircraft piloting major ranks first in the country. Of course, I can also learn other things. Sichuan is very close to my hometown. We can go home together for a little time on weekends or long vacations. It’s delicious, the small pot of rice noodles made by my grandma is the best in the whole world.”

Du Xuan...

Lin Tingan said: "If you want to enter Fudan's medical school, then I can only go to Binzhou Flying Academy. Although the name is a bit miserable, it is the first undergraduate in the country to recruit pilots. The industry is also very good, but Binzhou is far away from Shanghai. It's a little far away."

The setting sun was slowly setting behind Lin Tingan, his hair was covered with a layer of gold, Du Xuan felt a little bit hard to open his eyes.

Lin Tingan said: "I don't know what you are nervous about, but I should be the one who should be really nervous. After all, if you pass the exam, I have to go to Beihang University. If you fail the exam, I can take it easy. It’s good to take the second exam.”

Du Xuan blurted out: "No! You must go to Beihang University."

Lin Tingan smiled: "You're not in Beihang University, why should I go to Beihang University? I won't do it if I'm so far away from you."

Du Xuan looked at him fascinated. Even though this man stepped back from the big and small competitions, took off his flamboyant sprint suit, and put away his sharp eyes, the calmness and confidence that have been honed repeatedly have been engraved on his heart. in the eyes.Anytime, anywhere, as long as he wants, standing there makes people feel solid and reliable.

This young man who had never called himself "Brother Xiaoxuan" finally crossed that ditch and grew into the person beside him.

Lin Tingan said: "Du Xuan, you said that no matter where I go to university, the person closest to me must be you."

Du Xuan nodded.

"I will also give you this sentence." Lin Tingan said, "So, don't worry, but you have to work hard."

The two stood at the gate of the community, a round of setting sun rolled down behind them, and the sky quickly darkened.

Du Xuan suddenly felt that this matter is not so simple?So what if you can't get into Beijing Medical University? Anyway, you must take the postgraduate entrance examination to study this major. Wouldn't it be good to come back after the exam?Isn't it just studying medicine, where can't I learn, as long as this brat who never knows what "failure" is standing beside me, what else is there to be nervous about?

Don't be nervous, just come on!

Du Xuan smiled and said, "You said, the small pot of rice noodles made by your grandma is delicious?"

"Uh..." Lin Tingan froze for a moment, his mind lost track of the rhythm.

"What is your family eating today?"

Lin Tingan blinked: "I don't know."

Du Xuan looked at the familiar neighborhood. He has lived here for 16 years. It is the place of nightmares and the source of happiness.

"It's all here, I'll go to your house for a meal." Du Xuan rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry."

Lin Tingan's eyes lit up: "Really? Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

"I have always loved your food, forget?"

"I, I'm afraid of you..." Lin Tingan shook his head in the middle of speaking and stopped talking. He dragged Du Xuan to run into the community, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and go home."

Du Xuan followed behind him, watching him hurriedly took out his mobile phone to make a call: "Hey, Mom, Mom, have you cooked yet? Du Xuan is coming to eat at home today, you can add another dish... Really, really, He does come. Well, what does he eat... what do you want?"

Du Xuan thought for a while: "Twice-cooked pork."

Lin Tingan shouted into the phone: "Twice-cooked pork, he wants to eat twice-cooked pork."

Du Xuan followed Lin Tingan all the way to the downstairs. The outer wall of this old-fashioned residential building was covered with creepers, and the leaves had gradually turned dark green.In the old building door hole, there is a deep corner beside the building door, where you can hide and kiss or say something heart-pounding at night.At the corner between the first and second floors, Lin Tingan dragged himself there anxiously and hugged him.At the door of the room on the second floor, I got a bowl of cherries sweet in my dreams...

Du Xuan followed Lin Tingan into the door a little dizzily, and Ma Jing ran over wearing an apron holding a spatula and said, "Xiao Xuan, Auntie misses you so much."

Ji Dong took drinks and fruits from the refrigerator, and a bunch of dried fruits from under the coffee table.

Sitting on the old sofa, Du Xuan heard Lin Ting'an say to Ma Jing: "Mom, put more meat, and less chili, oh, Du Xuan can't eat such numb ones, so you can just put peppercorns instead of peppercorns." It's..."

Du Xuan let out a breath slowly, relaxed her body and sat down on the soft sofa.He felt more at ease than ever before, whether it was the perfect model or the college entrance examination, those things were important, but in the end, it was just this "Du Xuan, wash your hands and eat" that could make him relax!

Ma Jing asked Lin Ting'an to take Du Xuan downstairs, Du Xuan politely rejected Lin Yi's proposal to drive him off, and promised to come to the house often to play in the future.Ma Jing waved her hand, watching the backs of the two children gradually disappear into the night.

Lin Yi said: "Xiao Xuan is really getting better and better."

"No.17 in the city, tsk." Ma Jing sighed enviously.

Lin Yi: "It's not about studying. I think this kid's character is getting more and more calm and cheerful, and he's much more cheerful than before. You see, he and Xiao An are teasing each other."

Ma Jing returned to the living room from the balcony, hesitated and said, "Old Lin, Xiaoan and Du Xuan have a very good relationship."

"Aren't they always like this?" Lin Yi said strangely, "It's not the first day I know them."

Ma Jing hesitated to speak and looked out the window, but finally said nothing.
