don't force me

Du Xuan was silent for a while and said: "In the first mid-term exam in the first year of junior high school, I was the first in my grade, but I was third in the English test."

Lin Tingan closed the book in his hand and listened carefully to Du Xuan.

Du Xuan said: "You know my mother is very strict with me, so she signed up for one-on-one English for me, focusing on sorting out the grammar of the first semester of junior high school. I have to do an extra grammar paper every day."

Lin Tingan's heart was heavy when he heard that, he couldn't remember what he was doing in the first year of junior high school, he was probably busy gathering all the children in the hospital to play cats and dogs, and a group of people came to the house to complain every day.

Du Xuan squinted her eyes, and then said: "One day at noon, everyone was on a lunch break, and I was busy catching up a grammar paper. The classmate who got the first place in the English test sat in front of me and spoke in a very cheap tone. Said 'Yo, Xueba learns English, take a break, and give us some way to survive'."

Lin Tingan blurted out: "My god, you are a fool."

Du Xuan smiled: "Your native dialect is really interesting."

Lin Tingan said with a straight face, "What do you mean?"

"I really think it's very funny, and I rarely hear it." Du Xuan said, "Do you usually pay attention to what you say, lest you speak in a dialect?"

"No...no," Lin Tingan subconsciously avoided the question, and said vaguely, "I'm used to speaking Mandarin. Hey, what happened to your classmate?"

Du Xuan said lightly: "In the next three years, no matter the mid-term final or the monthly quiz, he never beat me in English."

Lin Tingan slapped his thigh and pointed at him: "'Death to win', do you know what it is?"

Du Xuan shook her head: "Actually, that's not the case. At first, I was just angry and held back to pass him. But later, he lost his confidence and became less motivated to learn English."

Lin Tingan sighed: "Who are these guys so unlucky?"

Du Xuan said, "Sun Rui."

Lin Tingan: ...

Du Xuan blinked: "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Tingan said slowly: "Sun Rui...he really has a big heart."

Du Xuan said: "I just want to tell you, for this kind of cheap talk, just go back hard, look how good Sun Rui is now."

Lin Tingan coughed: "Sometimes I think, why is Sun Rui so good with you? I am stimulated by you every day."

"We've known each other for nine years." Du Xuan smiled, "Except for my parents, I know him well. To be honest, my life would be much harder without him."

Lin Tingan hummed: "Why?"

Du Xuan: "He's always covering for me. Sometimes when there's no food at home, I go to his house to grab some food."

"Oh," Lin Ting settled down, and suddenly slapped the table hard, "You have eaten so many meals at my house, and I have never seen you say hello to me."

Du Xuan smiled and asked, "Didn't I say that?"

"No."

"All right," Du Xuan said, "Lin Tingan is a good comrade, and his avocado salad juice is very delicious."

Lin Tingan: "You..."

Du Xuan laughed for a while and said, "To be serious, haven't you thought about surpassing Zhou Chen? How cool is it to win against him last time?"

Lin Tingan: "Tsk, this is impossible. Zhou Chen is currently the first in the class, top 20 in his grade, and he can be ranked in the top three of the six ordinary classes."

Du Xuan: "Pick a subject you are best at, and torture him to death."

"Then math and physical education."

Du Xuan asked, "Why not Chinese and mathematics?"

Lin Tingan spread out the Chinese document in his hand: "I won't call it."

Du Xuan proudly said: "There is me, let's wait and see."

Du Xuan did what he said. He spent four days sorting out the basic knowledge of Chinese in the second grade of junior high school, and then translated all the compositions he wrote in the third grade of junior high school into several categories. A stack of papers was slapped in front of Lin Tingan.

"There is still one week before the final exam," Du Xuan said, "I will finish all the silent writing within three days, memorize the basic knowledge in two days, and read these essays in two days."

Lin Tingan asked excitedly, "Have you passed the guarantee?"

"Guarantee 70." Du Xuan said very confidently

With unprecedented motivation, Lin Tingan did the basic questions in the workbook seriously, and proudly showed it to Du Xuan.Du Xuan pointed to a question with an ugly face and said, "Can't you tell the difference between 'greetings' and 'hustle'?"

"It looks...isn't it the same?"

"Can't you tell that the radicals are different?"

"Oh, I can see what you said." Lin Tingan quickly raised his head, and smiled as flatteringly as possible at Du Xuan, "Day, I didn't pay attention."

Du Xuan grabbed the back of his neck: "Day you! My surname is Lin, you don't know that there is the word 'Xuan' in my name."

"Uh," Lin Tingan said, "I know, but I didn't know that 'Xuan' is also 'Xuan'."

Du Xuan squinted at him for a while, pointed to this word and said, "'Xuan' is a group of antonyms, 'Xuan' is the side of the Japanese word, meaning warm." Then he pointed to the tip of his nose, "I, Du Xuan, Nuan Nan, do you remember?"

Lin Tingan subconsciously put on a disgusted expression: "Where is it warm?"

"..." Du Xuan closed the book, "Okay, I'm leaving, Sun Rui has asked me to go skating several times."

Lin Tingan immediately persuaded: "Don't, I remember, Du Xuan, you are a warm man."

Du Xuan snorted: "Go and change this wrong word ten times for me."

Lin Tingan silently huddled in the chair with a pen to correct his mistakes, while correcting, he despised his cowardly behavior just now.Lin Ting'an is also very strange sometimes, Du Xuan is very polite and easy to talk to, sometimes even a little soft.But for some reason, as soon as he put on a straight face, he would panic.

What are you panicking about?Although it is true that I can't beat him, I can't imitate him, let alone talent, but at least I can run fast, can't I beat him?

100 meters away, Du Xuan had nothing to fear. Lin Tingan cheered himself up, then stopped writing and asked, "Sun Rui asked you to go skating?"

"Well," Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan's practice paper and said casually, "There is an ice rink in Huatai, and skating in summer is very comfortable. Sun Rui and his girlfriend have been there several times."

Lin Ting'an snorted: "You're a young couple, why are you joining in the fun? Light bulbs."

"Sun Rui didn't say anything, why are you complaining?"

Lin Tingan asked: "Did Sun Rui also take the third middle school?"

"Ah."

Lin Tingan was a little unhappy, and muttered: "Did you two discuss it? You will be together for 12 years. Do you still want to go to university together?"

"That's unlikely," Du Xuan laughed, "Sun Rui won't pass the university I want to go to."

"Look at you crazy." Lin Tingan lowered his head to correct his mistakes, the more he wrote, the more annoying he was, the words almost flew into the sky.

"Have you finished editing? Show me." Du Xuan asked.

Lin Tingan immediately held the homework book: "It's over, look."

"Your handwriting," Du Xuan said with a frown, "is like having rabies."

Lin Tingan silently "bah" in his heart, "warm man" is not "warm" at all.

Du Xuan, who was not warm at all, tutored Lin Tingan for a week. When Lin Tingan walked into the final examination room, he felt even more nervous.When he thought of Du Xuan giving up a week's vacation to give him tutoring, he felt that he owed Du Xuan a whole summer vacation; if he didn't do well in the exam, he might owe him a lifetime.

There is a feeling that if you fail the exam, you will be guilty.

When the final result was obtained, Lin Tingan wanted to send Du Xuan a pennant: Chinese, 73, No.13 in the class in total.

When the exam rankings were posted, Mr. Peng smiled and said to Lin Tingan: "Not bad, I finally got the hang of it, and I'm about to enter the third year of junior high school. This is a good start."

Lin Tingan tried his best to be humble and said: "I didn't perform well this time. The modern reading score is too low. I will try to do better next time."

Zheng Ziyan silently rolled his eyes at the back, and said to Yang Lemeng: "His composition is based on Du Xuan's, so this must be considered plagiarism?"

Yang Lemeng said, "Go and report it."

Zheng Ziyan snorted: "If I want to have such a neighbor, I can pass the entrance exam to the Normal University."

Yang Lemeng sighed: "Du Xuan is so kind. After finally finishing the exam, she even supplements Lin Ting'an's Chinese every day. I don't care if it's up to me. I'll go out to play earlier."

Zhou Chen gave Lin Tingan a cold look, and said nothing, after all, he is still No.1.

Lin Tingan was so proud of this result that he wanted to go to heaven, and went straight to the third floor after returning home.

When Du Xuan opened the door, he was holding a piece of paper in his hand and muttering something.

"What are you doing?" Lin Tingan asked.

"Host speech." Du Xuan glanced at the paper in his hand, "Tomorrow I will preside over your third-year entry ceremony."

"Ah, that's right." Lin Ting'an raised his forehead, "Tomorrow we will be in the third grade group. Why are you hosting it?"

"I have a lot of hosting experience," Du Xuan said, "Besides, I can represent both graduates and freshmen."

At that moment, Lin Tingan was shocked. He suddenly realized that the name "Du Xuan" was not limited to the "junior high school" from now on, and the whole third middle school would be his stage.

"Du Xuan," Lin Tingan asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do in high school?"

"I don't know, but I think it must be different from junior high school." Du Xuan said lightly, "I can live a good life."

"Will it be like junior high school, man of the hour?"

"I don't know, there are a lot of talented people in the high school, and it shouldn't be a big deal for me."

Lin Tingan snorted, and immediately said: "Impossible. You are crazy enough, there can be no one more crazy than you."

Du Xuan laughed: "Let's see."

On the second day, in order to make the students more stressed and more crisis-conscious, the second grade group used the morning self-study to hold the "new third grader entry ceremony".Standing at the end of the team, Lin Tingan watched Du Xuan walk up to the leading exercise platform in the golden morning sun.

He was wearing a charcoal black suit. This was the first time Lin Tingan saw Du Xuan wearing formal clothes. He did not expect that Du Xuan, who had taken off his school uniform, would suddenly mature a lot.Lin Tingan realized a problem the moment Du Xuan's figure came into view - Du Xuan, he is a high school student.

In Lin Tingan's eyes, high school is a brand new world: he can do many things and see a wider world.And Du Xuan standing in that world will get farther and farther away from herself:

When standing in line, Class One and One in Senior High and Class Three and Five in Junior High were separated by a whole grade team.

During class, the high school building and the junior high school building are separated by a whole playground.

When I was in school, the high school started at [-]:[-] and the junior high school started at [-]:[-], with a whole class separated.

Every day, we can no longer go to school together.

During exercises, you can't get together and talk in a low voice.

After class, if he couldn't go upstairs, he went to ask Du Xuan for something delicious.

After school, no one passes by the playground and tosses themselves a bottle of iced lime-flavored pulsation

……

Lin Tingan suddenly panicked. He tried his best to open his eyes wide, watching Du Xuan standing in front of the microphone, giving a speech without a script at all; he could see Du Xuan's characteristic polite but alienated smile; he even I can feel Du Xuan's calm and clear voice hitting my eardrums, slowly flowing into my heart...

However, he had no idea what Du Xuan was talking about, every word flowed into his heart, without staying in the cerebral cortex for even a second.There are only six words in his brain:

Du Xuan is in high school.

Lin Tingan's eyes were sore from staring. He saw Du Xuan come down from the stage with a slight bow, and stood beside the podium to talk to the teaching principal.The teaching principal smiled and patted Du Xuan on the shoulder, and the director of Moral Education Feng gave him a thumbs up.

He is Du Xuan, the "flying man" who can gallop on the track; The chest guarantees that the scumbags with a score of 47 in Chinese will pass the test with a score of 70 or more.Lin Tingan didn't know what earth-shattering things Du Xuan could do in No. [-] Middle School, but he knew one thing:

Du Xuan will get farther and farther away from her.

Lin Tingan, who was a little dazed, followed the team back to the class in a daze, and followed everyone to pack up and move to the third floor. When passing by the window, Lin Tingan stopped.The window facing the door of Class [-] of the third grade is Du Xuan's favorite place to stay. Lin Tingan approached the window and found that he could see the entire playground from here, and the running track for the track and field team was directly below the window.

Next to it is the announcement list of the third grade group that Lin Tingan has been paying attention to for a long time and Du Xuan has been "dominating the list".

That bulletin board has been cleaned up, and all grades and photos have been removed.

But that person stayed.

Lin Tingan looked out vigorously, only one corner of the high school building could be seen from here.

That night, Lin Tingan was lying on the bed tossing and turning, always feeling restless, as if something important had been forgotten by him, or something important had happened but he had ignored it.

The hands of the alarm clock slowly moved to eleven o'clock, Lin Tingan suddenly sat up from the bed, and cold sweat burst out from his scalp.In a panic, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number, then threw the cell phone down to knock on the radiator in a state of distraction.

when~when~when~

Dangdang.There were two short knocks from upstairs.

After a while, Lin Tingan's cell phone rang, and he picked it up in a panic: "Hello."

"What's wrong?" Du Xuan's voice was full of sleepiness, he yawned and asked, "It's midnight, what happened?"

"Du Xuan," Lin Tingan's voice was tight and trembling, "What should I do about Du Xuan, I just discovered a problem."

"what?"

"I, I'm in the third grade of junior high school, what should I do?"

Du Xuan...
