don't force me

After school in the afternoon, Lin Tingan went to the complex building to find Hu Kun. Before knocking on the door, he checked himself up and down: the school uniform was put on, the zipper was pulled, and the hair—it must be long, but fortunately it was not counted. Illegal hairstyle.

Lin Tingan scratched his hair and knocked on the door of his office.

"Come in." A deep male voice sounded.

Lin Tingan pushed the door open, and unconsciously stood at attention: "Hello, Teacher Hu."

Hu Kun is in his early 40s, with a very short crew cut. Years of outdoor work has left him with a dark complexion and a thin but well-defined muscular body.His eyes are not big, but his eyes are sharp, and there is very little smile on his face, which makes people a little scary to look at.

At least Lin Tingan was quite afraid of him, and Hu Kun managed the students more strictly than the head teacher.

"Do you want to join the track and field team?" Hu Kun said nothing nonsense.

"I don't want to." Lin Tingan didn't talk nonsense.

"Why?" Hu Kun squinted his eyes, scanned Lin Tingan up and down, and when his eyes fell on Lin Tingan's shoes, his brows were tightened.

Lin Tingan's eyes followed Hu Kun and landed on his own feet - a pair of fluorescent green basketball shoes, full of arrogance.Lin Tingan moved his toes, feeling a little embarrassed. If he had known earlier, he would have come out wearing the black pair today.

"Tell me why." Hu Kun turned his gaze to Lin Tingan and asked.

"Uh...affects learning."

"Hmph." Hu Kun sneered, and Lin Tingan blushed.

"Tired?" Hu Kun grabbed a pack of cigarettes from the corner of the table and smoked one into his mouth. After a pause, he took out the cigarette and put it on the table with a click of his tongue. He took a big sip of water from his tea cup, "What are you doing?" Are you not tired? You are also tired from studying, why don't you drop out of school?"

Lin Tingan moved his feet uneasily, and murmured, "No..."

Hu Kun: "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. You are very talented in sprinting. I want to recruit you into the track and field team. I won't talk about the truth of winning honor for the school. I guess you won't listen to that, but if you Getting the ranking in the city competition will be of great benefit to your future, do you understand that?"

Lin Tingan struggled for a while, then nodded unwillingly: "I know."

"I saw your mid-term grades." Hu Kun's usually stern face relaxed, and there were smile lines at the corners of his eyes, "It's very interesting."

Lin Tingan rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

"Our school definitely won't pass the exam." Hu Kun added.

Lin Tingan wailed in his heart, this was what he was struggling with.

Zheng Ziyan said that according to Lin Ting'an's current grades, it is definitely useless to take the high school entrance examination, but if he is a special student, his chances are much greater.And if his grades are good enough, it is possible for him to enter the No. [-] Middle School or even the High School Attached to Normal University as a special student. After all, he is very good at mathematics.

Lin Ting'an had no interest in Normal University, which was Du Xuan's world, but he liked No. [-] Middle School very much.No.[-] Middle School is very close to home. It takes half an hour to walk and ten minutes to ride a bicycle. The campus is large enough and the hardware conditions are also excellent.The most important thing is that there are a lot of clubs, and there are study tours and social practice every year. These are Lin Tingan's favorites.Besides, Zheng Ziyan, Yang Lemeng and Han Mo are all planning to take the entrance examination of this school.

Of course, there is one more thing, the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School is very, very handsome!

It can be said that Lin Tingan is satisfied with everything in No. [-] Middle School, except Zhou Chen.But it doesn't matter, a beating will be honest.

Hu Kun added: "Besides, you also like sports. I think your shoes are pretty good."

Lin Tingan looked at his pair of shoes that were so eye-catching that he could see them from ten miles away, and thought to himself why did I just wear you out?

Hu Kun carefully looked at Lin Tingan's expression, smiled and said: "Okay, I think you are also very happy, come to find me on the east side of the playground after school on Wednesday, let's test 100, 200 and 400 first."

"No," Lin Tingan raised his head abruptly, "Mr. Hu, I..."

Hu Kun pointed to the door: "Let's test it first, and use the results to speak. Go, close the door for me from the outside."

Lin Tingan...

Are we talking about shoes?Why did you run away without saying a word?

When he carefully closed the door from the outside, he saw Hu Kun eagerly put the cigarette into his mouth again.

Lin Tingan stomped through the corridor. It was dark early in winter, and it was already dark outside the window. The lights on the campus playground had been turned on. The powerful beams hit the basketball court, and the basketball team could be seen running back and forth.

Lin Tingan sighed, next time he should run around on the playground by himself.

Running is not scary, what is scary is running in winter.For a child from the south, Lin Tingan felt that he might freeze to death on the runway.

Just when he was thinking wildly, a burst of piano sound echoed in the corridor, causing echo and resonance. Lin Tingan subconsciously turned his direction and walked towards the piano room.

Du Xuan was still playing that piece, but today he played it very badly, even Lin Tingan could hear that the sound of the piano was a little intermittent.

In the piano room, only a small spotlight above the piano was on, and the light was shining straight on the smooth black and white keys. Lin Tingan felt that Du Xuan's hands must be cold as his long and slender fingers passed quickly.

Du Xuan had a problem with a measure, he took a breath and played one side, stopped to catch his breath, played it again, and stopped again...

Lin Tingan silently clenched his fists and felt a special tension.

Finally, Du Xuan stopped, looked down at the piano for a while, and then slapped hard on the keys with open palms.

"Dang..." The piano made a huge sound, which echoed repeatedly in the corridor, shaking Lin Ting'an's heart.

"That..." Lin Tingan whispered, "Du Xuan."

Du Xuan was startled: "Lin Ting'an? You startled me."

Lin Tingan blinked, not knowing what to say.

Du Xuan raised his eyebrows and stared at Lin Tingan.

Lin Tingan swallowed and looked around: "Um... let's go? Let's go together."

Du Xuan looked at him for two seconds: "Wait for me to clean up." He quickly packed up the score and piano, put on his schoolbag and said to Lin Tingan, "Let's go."

When the two walked out of the school gate, the small shop on the street lit up with neon signs.

Du Xuan asked: "Do you want to eat skewers? I treat you."

Lin Tingan's mouth immediately filled with water, but he shook his head firmly: "Forget it, you have a cold, what kind of skewers are you eating?"

"I invite you to eat, but I won't eat." Du Xuan said with a smile, "Do you want to eat mutton?"

"Eat." Lin Tingan immediately jumped in front of the grill and said, "Put more peppers."

Du Xuan asked, "Why did you leave so late?"

Lin Tingan stared at the sizzling mutton skewers, and quickly told the story.

"You don't want to go?" Du Xuan asked.

"It's not..." Lin Tingan thought for a while, "I mainly find it troublesome. Think about it, I have to train after school, and I have to go to competitions on weekends, winter and summer vacations. If I can run a little in the city With your grades, you can get some benefits in the future, but what if you can't escape?"

"If you can't escape, you can go to higher education with the culture class?" Du Xuan asked.

"Hiss..." Lin Ting'an gave Du Xuan a gouged look, "Don't think that you can slander me by treating me to two skewers of mutton skewers. What's wrong with my culture class? I got full marks in math."

"Yes, Chinese 47." Du Xuan smiled.

The fiery charcoal fire in the barbecue grill and the interlaced flashing neon lights reflected on Du Xuan's face, which looked bright and warm. His smile was very comfortable, and he was not at all the kind of polite but unfamiliar person standing on the podium or rostrum. laugh.

Lin Tingan slapped a piece of meat fiercely, thinking that the group of ugly girls in the class were born crazy, how could they not see clearly the false and mean nature of this thing?Can a pretty face be eaten?Do you have mutton skewers?

Du Xuan rubbed his stomach: "Seeing how delicious your food is, I'm already hungry. The boss brought me a hand pancake." Then, he turned to Lin Ting'an and said, "So, are you going or not?"

Lin Tingan licked his lips: "I don't know, I have to go home and ask my parents."

Du Xuan: "What if they don't let you go?"

"Then I won't go." Lin Tingan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I didn't think much about going at first."

Du Xuan sighed: "It's quite an advantage to enter a higher school."

Lin Tingan sneered, "What's cheap? At most, it's a city's key high school or an ordinary high school. What if I go to a city's key high school? Now that the rate of entering colleges is so high, why can't I get into college?"

"University is not the same as university."

Lin Tingan waved his hand casually: "What's the difference? It's different after graduation. Looking for a job starts from a small employee? Can you be the president directly after graduating from Tsinghua University?"

Du Xuan was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Tingan who was carelessly masturbating.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lin Tingan glanced at Du Xuan, "Want to eat? Forget it, you cough, I have peppers all over it."

Du Xuan shook her head, then ate her finger cake.

Lin Tingan hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you think I can get into the third middle school?"

Du Xuan: "You haven't started chemistry yet, so I don't know what you can do in chemistry, but judging from your current English and Chinese, your total score should not pass the third middle school."

"Hmph." Lin Tingan snorted.

"To tell you the truth." Du Xuan said, "If you really want to go to No. 100 Middle School, you should join the track and field team. Your sprint score will definitely pass the district test. Hu Kun admires you so much, and I will recruit you [-]%."

Lin Tingan said strangely: "How do you know so clearly?"

Du Xuan shrugged and said nothing.

Lin Tingan's eyes widened: "You are 100% so good, did Hu Kun look for you before? Didn't you?"

Du Xuan thought of the past two years, how many times Hu Kun had approached him and his parents for this matter, but every time, her mother mercilessly rejected her.The reasons are too good: the training is too hard, the training will delay the evening self-study and remedial classes, the training will take up the time of making up classes on weekends, and the spring and autumn competitions will also take up the class time...

"Du Xuan doesn't have time," Du Xuan still remembers her mother saying with a bit of arrogance, "he has to practice piano, calligraphy, and go lessons, besides, he needs to devote all his energy to his studies. If you need the identity of a special student, you can be admitted to the Normal University."

Du Xuan felt a little bitter in his heart. It was around that time that he hated the words "Normal University Attached". These three words replaced all his hobbies and even deprived him of the joy of running.

In fact, he likes to run.

The feeling of being focused on one goal and letting yourself fly is very refreshing.

Du Xuan forced the corner of her mouth to say, "Don't talk about me, how about you? You have good sprint results, and the Normal University may recruit you."

Lin Tingan shivered tremblingly: "Don't, don't, let's leave it to you top students. I'm thankful that a scumbag like me stays in No. 20 Middle School. I know that the homework attached to the Normal University is not for thesis, but for the students. On the pages left, I would write from 'page [-] to page No. [-]' at every turn, I still want to live, thank you."

Du Xuan felt even more bitter. He looked at the remaining half of the pancake and asked, "Have you finished eating? Let's go."

Lin Tingan threw down a bamboo stick, wiped his mouth and waved: "Go home."

When the two stood at the door of the unit building and looked up, the lights on the second floor were bright and the third floor was pitch black.

"Is there no one in your house?" Lin Tingan clicked his tongue, "Come to my house for dinner, my mother cooks delicious food."

Du Xuan shook her head: "I've eaten it."

"Just the broken hand pancake?" Lin Tingan called out, "Is it enough? That's just a pre-dinner snack."

Du Xuan: "There's a lot of food at home, and besides, I have too much homework today, so I have to go back and do my homework quickly."

Lin Tingan: "Then... okay, come downstairs and call me tomorrow morning."

Du Xuan paused on the steps: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
