don't force me

After the final exam, Lin Tingan felt that his head was full of confusion. Aunt Zhou asked Du Xuan to enter the top [-] in the city based on the difficulty of the key school entrance exam, which was really scary.Lin Tingan is extremely thankful that his parents did not expect him to become a "dragon", as long as he does not become a "worm", he will be satisfied.

Du Xuan took the test one day longer than Lin Ting'an. In order not to disturb him, Lin Ting'an didn't go to see Du Xuan until after school the next day.As soon as he walked to the high school building, he ran into Sun Rui who was wandering out with his schoolbag on his back.

"Yo" Sun Rui said jokingly, "You searched too often, you two are upstairs and downstairs, do you have to block people at school?"

Lin Tingan frowned: "Am I coming here very often, is it obvious?"

"Why don't I put a chair for you at the back of the classroom, and you might as well come to Senior One to listen."

Lin Tingan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back first, and you tell Du Xuan."

"Hey, stop." Sun Rui grabbed Lin Tingan who was about to turn around, "Why are you running? Aren't you going home with Du Xuan?"

Lin Tingan snorted: "I'll go back by myself first."

Sun Rui smiled: "Okay, I'm teasing you, but no one noticed. There are so many people looking for Du Xuan every day, and no one will pay special attention to you."

"Are there a lot of people? Who are there? Why are you looking for him?"

Sun Rui: "Look for the Moral Education Department, grade groups, student unions, and clubs... It's not like you don't know how many titles he has on him. Isn't he the busiest at the end of the year? He's not in the class right now, you Go find him in the auditorium, he's rehearsing the party."

Lin Tingan left a "thank you" and rushed to the auditorium. As soon as he entered through the back door, Lin Tingan saw Du Xuan standing on the stage at a glance.He was wearing the standard school uniform of the high school, standing under the spotlight, reading the host speech with emotion, and the beautiful girl next to him was smiling like a flower.

Lin Tingan saw Du Xuan's schoolbag on the back row of chairs, so he sat beside it.The writing board of the chair was turned over, and there was Du Xuan's notepad on it, Lin Tingan took it over and flipped through it.

The notebook is recorded by date, what to do every day, what homework, every item is clearly remembered, and the important ones will be marked with colored pens.Lin Ting'an noticed that Du Xuan's schedule was very full every day, but Tuesday and Friday were free after school. Those two days were the days when they attended tutoring classes together.

Lin Ting'an happily flipped through Du Xuan's notebook. Apart from the daily schedule, there were also sporadically recorded other things in the notebook, both in Chinese and English, as well as various physical and chemical formulas. Some Lin Tingan could understand and some could not. Understand.But the occasional few words made Lin Tingan blush and heartbeat:

I can't read books, I just want to stay together.

I like you

The fist is big and my heart is all about you

like everything

……

These words were scattered in the corner of the notepad, and they were not eye-catching at first glance, but they caused an uproar in Lin Tingan's heart.He closed the notebook, looked at Du Xuan who was up and down on the stage, and thought, this handsome and awesome boy, I like him, he likes me, how wonderful!Lin Tingan quietly took out his mobile phone, took pictures of every line of writing, and carefully stored them in a folder.There is also a group photo of the two of them in that folder, including Du Xuan's back, Du Xuan's shoes and his long legs.

On the stage, Du Xuan had finished speaking the words. Director Feng of the Moral Education Department held some papers and waved to him at the entrance. Du Xuan walked over and said a few words to take the papers away; Teacher Song from the Youth League Committee called him again in the first row, and he jumped off the stage and ran over...

Lin Tingan always knew that Du Xuan was very busy, but he didn't expect to be so busy.He took out a piece of note paper from his schoolbag, and wanted to leave a note for Du Xuan, but after seeing Du Xuan's beautiful pen writing, and looking at his own handwriting, he found it hard to be seen.So I wrote, tore, and scrapped half of the book, and finally wrote a line:

You are busy, I will go home first.

After finishing writing, I wanted to write something more but was afraid of being seen, so I hesitated for a long time before giving up.But after thinking about it, I was still not reconciled, so I drew a clenched fist at the signing place. If someone saw it, they would probably understand it as "come on".Lin Tingan looked at the fist triumphantly, feeling that he was simply witty.

When Lin Tingan quietly left the auditorium, Du Xuan was sitting with that girl and discussing something. The two of them were very close to each other shoulder to shoulder. A stroke of hair.Lin Tingan thought of those two "nymphomaniacs" in the class, squinted his eyes, sneered, turned and left.

A week before the gala, the test results were released. Lin Tingan closed his eyes and prayed that he could get into the top 16. However, the reality was cruel. He got No. [-] in the test.

Zheng Ziyan looked at Lin Tingan, who was lying motionless on the table with his head buried in his arms, and comforted him: "Don't be like this, you did well in the exam. Look at how much your Chinese has improved."

"Can you get out?" Lin Tingan said in a muffled voice.

"Don't be ignorant of what's good or bad. I'm here to comfort you. You see that your overall grades have also improved. Teacher Peng even praised you today."

"You know what a fart." Lin Tingan gritted his teeth and took all the papers out, and checked them one by one. He was only two points away from No. 15. As long as he found a mistake in marking, he could get back the two points .

Zheng Ziyan slapped the test paper down: "You have checked it twice, give up."

Lin Tingan balled up the paper angrily: "Forget it, forget it, let's do it like this."

While talking, Han Mo shouted at the door of the class: "Lin Ting'an, Teacher Hu is looking for you."

Reflexively, Lin Tingan looked down at his feet first, and then said to Zheng Ziyan, "Hurry up, change your shoes with me."

"What are you doing?" Zheng Ziyan looked at Lin Tingan's feet, "How beautiful are your shoes?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." Lin Tingan took off his bright Nikes to Zheng Ziyan, and went to the sports group wearing Zheng Ziyan's black Li Ning.

Hu Kun looked him up and down as usual: "Well, I still look like a student today. I will talk about it when I am running, and I have to be more disciplined when wearing a school uniform."

Lin Tingan felt relieved, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, Mr. Hu?"

Hu Kun handed him a form: "Fill it out."

Lin Tingan took it over and took a look: the recommendation form for the sports specialty students of No. [-] Middle School

"Hey!" Lin Tingan's eyes widened in surprise, "You are..."

"There are four people in the third grade of junior high school," Hu Kun said with a smile, "Your grades are still passable, so fill out this form first, and leave it for the school to record, and you will have to approve and take exams in the future." .”

Lin Tingan said with great anticipation: "Does that mean I can get into No. [-] Middle School after passing the district physical examination?"

"Dream." Hu Kun said, "This is just a recommendation. It also depends on your final grades and the first and second grades. If you can score in the top [-] in your grade three times, you can consider signing a special offer."

"What do you mean?" Lin Tingan asked nervously.

"Usually we recruit sports special students with a 20-point reduction, but for those with particularly good sports performance or great potential, we can consider signing a contract with special recruits. If you sign this, in theory, as long as your high school entrance examination scores are not outrageous, you can I can recruit."

Lin Tingan was just about to cheer, but after a second thought, he curled his lips and said, "Mr. Hu, aren't you fooling me? If I can be admitted to the top [-] in my grade, I can be admitted to the third middle school if I am an ordinary student." .”

Hu Kun smiled: "Theoretically, that's the case. But what if you fail the high school entrance examination, and you don't perform well on the spot, even if you drop 20 points, you won't be admitted."

Holding the registration form, Lin Tingan's chin almost reached the ceiling, and he said triumphantly, "When will I have a bad time?"

Hu Kun pointed at him: "The last monthly exam."

Lin Tingan...

Lin Tingan grabbed the registration form and ran directly to the high school building. The monthly exam results were posted on the first-grade bulletin board on the second floor.Lin Tingan paid special attention to standing firm before watching, and was ready to accept a wave of "handsome guy shock waves".

English, single subject honors

Geography, single subject honors

Chemistry, single subject honors

History, single subject honors

Overall score, fifth in grade

Lin Tingan clicked his tongue, what a pity, it was only a little bit close.

Sun Rui saw Lin Tingan at the door of the classroom, called Du Xuan to come over together, and asked with a smile, "The supervisor is here again?"

"I won four subjects in one subject," Lin Tingan raised four fingers, "Du Xuan, you are amazing."

Du Xuan spread her hands: "I can't get the phone."

Lin Tingan said, "That doesn't matter, what matters is that you are much better this time than last time."

Sun Rui smiled and asked, "How did your exam go?"

"Fifteen." Lin Tingan was a little frustrated, but he held up the registration form to Du Xuan again, "Look, I got the recommendation form."

Du Xuan said: "Teacher Hu thinks highly of you. Usually, this watch is issued by the basketball team, but not by the track and field team. Old Hu is too strict."

Lin Tingan said excitedly: "This time I took the exam with a grade of more than 160. If I work harder at the end of the semester, I can get into [-]."

Du Xuan: "Yes, at the end of the semester, I will definitely be able to get into [-]."

Lin Tingan raised his chest proudly: "In that case, I will be liberated after the second model."

On the way home from school, Lin Tingan kept bragging about how well he did in the exam this time, only two points away from No.15.

"Actually, it's just a little bit close. If I don't deduct points for dictation, I can get fourteenth place in the exam."

"Why are points deducted? We all recited it on the way to school before, and I will recite it for you one by one."

"Hey," Lin Tingan scratched his head, "I've memorized it, but... I made a typo."

Du Xuan stretched his arms around Lin Tingan's neck, and strangled Lin Ting'an hard: "I can't say a word less, I just stared at you and silently said every word."

"I've made great progress," Lin Ting'an yelled, "Look, I've already entered the top [-] in my grade."

"You still dare to talk back." Du Xuan said goodbye with his arms, and firmly fixed Lin Tingan in his arms.In the eyes of outsiders, these are two good friends who are fighting on the way home from school, but Lin Tingan knows that Du Xuan's breathing is hot and gentle.

Lin Ting'an grabbed Du Xuan's wrist and said with a smile, "Is there anything I dare not say? I dare to say anything."

"What else do you dare to say?"

"Say..." Lin Tingan thought for a while, "Stay away from that hostess."

"Which one?" Du Xuan frowned.

"Which one? How many hostesses do you have?"

"Two." Du Xuan said honestly, "Two men and two women."

"The girl who was with you at the rehearsal that day." Lin Tingan got out of Du Xuan's arms and said, "I think she has bad intentions for you."

"The day you left the note?" Du Xuan said with a smile, "She's a sophomore in high school."

"What's wrong with the sophomore? The sophomore can't find a boyfriend from the first year. You, a freshman in high school, have found a boyfriend from the third year."

Du Xuan glanced at Lin Ting'an: "Do you mind? If so, I won't participate in this kind of activities in the future, and I don't have much interest in it."

"That's not true," Lin Tingan thought for a while, "I'm actually quite happy for you to participate, and I feel quite proud, but I'm a little bit unwilling."

"Why are you unwilling?"

"You can't show off to others." Lin Tingan puffed up his chest and said, "You think, I'm sitting in the audience, and you are hosting on the stage. If I can say to the people next to me, 'Look, the one on the top, isn't it handsome? Awesome? That's my boyfriend' What a great feeling."

Du Xuan couldn't help laughing: "I'm very sorry? But it's too late to regret now."

"I don't regret it." Lin Tingan said, "Looking at No. [-] Middle School, where is there a girl who is better than you? I like you like this."

Du Xuan asked, "Then is there any girl chasing you?"

Lin Tingan: "Yes, I think there must be, but I don't care, so I don't know."

Du Xuan chuckled lightly: "If there is, please tell me."

"why?"

"I have to be mentally prepared for how many rivals I will face in the future."

Lin Tingan said proudly: "That must be as numerous as an ox's hair."

Du Xuan unexpectedly remembered the QQ message he saw that day, with the glaring "An" and "What" in it, and he chuckled lightly: "Then I have to prepare a razor, even if it is a razor, I have to give it All shaved."

When the two of them walked to the door of the building, Du Xuan said, "My mobile phone will not come back, so you have to keep tapping on the heating pipe."

Lin Ting'an pointed at Du Xuan, and said in a tone of voice: "You don't live up to your expectations."

Du Xuan stretched his cold hand into Lin Tingan's neck and pinched it: "You idiot who didn't get into the top fifteen."

Lin Tingan automatically and consciously brought his face closer: "So you can only kiss me."

Du Xuan quickly kissed Lin Ting'an in the empty and dark corridor.

Pushing open the door, Du Xuan found that her parents were at home and the food was already on the table, which was really rare.

The two asked in unison: "How did you do in the exam?"

Du Xuan reported all the results, including the specific ranking.Zhou Man frowned and said, "Why is it fifth?"

Du Xuan said, "There are four subjects that I won in a single subject."

"What's the use of that?" Zhou Man said dissatisfiedly, "History, geography, English, except English is a serious subject, history and geography are nothing, and you don't study literature."

"There is no distinction between liberal arts and science in the first grade of high school," Du Xuan said, "The exam is based on the scores of all subjects."

"You don't want to study science in the end, just pass the geography and history test. Now the focus is on mathematics, physics and chemistry. According to our agreement, I can't give you your mobile phone with your grades."

"I don't want a mobile phone either." Du Xuan put down her job and replied angrily, "I'm just telling you, I'm in the top five of my grade this time."

Zhou Man probably heard the dissatisfaction in Du Xuan's tone. He picked up two chopsticks for his son and said in a slow tone: "Of course, I can see your progress and should be encouraged. However, you must also realize your own shortcomings." insufficient."

Du Xuan thought desperately, when will she hear her mother praise herself?

Du Jiancheng, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "You have a good relationship with Lin Ting'an?"

Du Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and a layer of cold sweat burst out of his scalp: "It's...okay."

Zhou Man punched Du Jiancheng vigorously, and said, "Why are you telling the child that?"

Du Jiancheng glanced at his wife impatiently, and then said to Du Xuan: "Ah, it's okay, I just want to care about it. You and Xiao An are neighbors and classmates, and your father and Uncle Lin are also colleagues. You two brothers... Get along with."

Du Xuan's heart was beating fast, he didn't know if his father meant something, he hesitated for a while, and tentatively said: "Our relationship is quite good, you...don't worry."

"Hmm..." Du Jiancheng pulled his wife away from his hand, and said, "On New Year's Day, Dad was the host and invited your Uncle Lin's family to have a meal. They also take good care of you. I heard that you often go to other people's houses. Home for dinner?" When Du Jiancheng said this, he glanced at his wife dissatisfied.

Zhou Man snorted: "what do you look at? You have a job and I don't. You come back every day in the middle of the night, so I'm not allowed to work overtime?"

Du Jiancheng suppressed his anger and said: "This is all nonsense, why don't you think I work overtime when you spend money?"

"I earn money when I spend it," Zhou Man jumped up, "don't think that you are the only one earning money in this family."

Du Xuan boredly glanced at the couple who were at the dinner table, and muttered, "I'm going back to the house." Then she returned to her room with her schoolbag.

No matter why Du Jiancheng invited the Lin family to dinner, it must have nothing to do with Lin Tingan and himself. After thinking about this, Du Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.He threw his schoolbag aside, lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze, and began to seriously think about what to do in the future.

Initially, in his plan, he would take the university entrance exam he liked, then work and study, complete his studies seriously, and try to become independent as early as possible.But now that Lin Ting'an is here, how can he protect that silly boy who doesn't care about anything?Can you keep this secret firmly until you have enough ability to protect him?

This was an extremely worrying thing, but Du Xuan thought about it and laughed.He glanced at his watch, it was just 07:30, so he reached out and tapped on the radiator.

There was no reply for a long time.

Du Xuan opened the door, said to her parents who were still arguing quietly: "I'm going out for a while", and wanted to go out.

Zhou Man asked from behind: "Where are you going so late, did you go to Lin again... Hey, Du Chengcheng, why are you dragging me?"

Du Xuan pretended not to hear, and went directly down to the second floor to knock on the door of Lin's house.

When Ma Jing opened the door, she shouted in surprise: "Xiao An, come quickly, Xiao Xuan is here to find you."

Lin Tingan poked his head out of the dining room holding a big soup bowl: "Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Du Xuan changed her shoes and entered the room familiarly: "Ah, it smells so good. Auntie, what did you do?"

"I made steam pot chicken." Ma Jing said with a smile, "Last time I said I would cook it for you, but you didn't come. It just happened to make up for it this time. Come and have a drink."

Lin Yi pulled out a chair and asked Du Xuan to sit down. Lin Tingan had already prepared a bowl of soup and handed it to Du Xuan: "Drink it quickly, my mother has been making it all afternoon, this soup is the most delicious."

Du Xuan took a big sip unceremoniously: "Sweet."

"Drink as much as it smells good." Lin Yi looked at Du Xuan with a smile, "Xiao Xuan, if you want to drink soup from now on, just tell your Aunt Ma, she really likes to cook."

Lin Tingan asked in a low voice under the cover of the soup bowl, "Why are you here?"

"I miss you." Du Xuan said without changing his face.

"My day." Lin Tingan quickly glanced at his father who was sitting next to him, "Can you do it?"

"No." Du Xuan said, "I have to take a look at you, or I won't be able to."

Lin Tingan tried his best to purse the corners of his mouth, but the corners of his eyes were already curled up.

Ma Jing came out of the kitchen and sat next to Du Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, Xiao An did well in the exam this time, auntie thank you very much."

"He worked hard on his own."

Lin Tingan pointed to the tip of his nose: "Mom, Mom, look at me, I am the one who studies hard."

Lin Yi smiled and patted his son's head: "Good son."

Ma Jing: "Look at your thick skin, shouldn't you thank your brother Xiaoxuan for this achievement?"

Lin Yi turned to Du Xuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, in fact, Uncle is very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Xiao An would not have made such great progress. This child is just too lazy and too lazy to die. Why don't you supervise him?" He doesn't learn."

Du Xuan blinked at Lin Tingan, and then said, "Lin Tingan is actually quite serious."

Lin Yi coughed: "I know my son. It takes time and energy to make him study hard. I think you must have paid a lot."

Du Xuan suppressed her smile, put down the bowl in her hand, and waited to hear the second part of Lin Yi's words.
