don't force me

Although Lin Ting'an acted out for Zhou Chen "with loyalty", it doesn't mean that he and Zhou Chen "turned hostility into friendship". Every day when he entered the classroom and saw that "twenty past eight", he would still turn his face away in annoyance. Go out of sight.

By June, the so-called pre-examination review was just a formality. The difficulty of the questions was reduced, and most of them were "warm-keeping exercises". When commenting on the test papers, everyone's concentration dropped significantly.Lin Ting'an has mastered the kung fu of "sitting and sleeping" to a high level, breaking through the ninth level.Zhou Chen, who has always been a model student, has been in a particularly unstable state since the first model, and his grades fluctuated. At first, everyone thought that if he went to the fifth middle school steadily, he might be able to rush to the Normal University Attached. Make a murmur.Teacher Peng was very worried, and thought of many ways, but Zhou Chen seemed to have exhausted his energy ahead of time, and couldn't cheer up no matter what.

Fortunately, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the discouraged Zhou Chen was less than An Shao.

Just as Master Lin Tingan dozed off with his eyes closed, Zhou Chen still maintained his "model student" demeanor, and when he felt sleepy, he would automatically and consciously go to the back of the classroom and stand and listen.Lin Tingan sat in the last row by the window, and Zhou Chen stood behind him. The test papers and notes were placed on the window sill to listen to the teacher's lecture.

Lin Ting'an, who had already signed the "special admissions" recommendation form, thought that his summer vacation had arrived earlier and he could relax. He came to the school every day to listen to lectures, and the focus of life was to accompany Du Xuan to and from school.But in fact, he seemed to be running 400 meters, and the last 50 meters was a surefire victory, but he couldn't stop due to inertia, so he had to run and rush forward with the big team.

The other classes are easy to talk about, but the Chinese class is a bit difficult.Lin Tingan would feel sleepy every day when he was taking Chinese, but the Chinese teacher kept a close eye on him.In fact, Lin Tingan can understand quite well. After all, he is going to take the senior high school entrance examination, and his poor Chinese performance has lowered the average score of the class. Naturally, the Chinese teacher can't hold back.But understanding is understanding. Spring is sleepy, autumn is lacking, summer is napping, and winter and March are sleepless. This is the law of nature, and no one can defy it.

So Lin Tingan "sat down and slept" again.

"Lin Ting'an," Lao Qiu's voice rose an octave, "what should I choose for this question?"

Lin Tingan stood up completely relying on the super-sensitive conditioned reflex trained by Hu Kun, staring with a dazed face, but in fact he couldn't see anything clearly from the flowers in front of him.

"C" Zhou Chen standing behind Lin Tingan whispered.

It took Lin Tingan a second to judge whether Zhou Chen was cheating, and after a second he decided to trust him for now.

"Yeah." Lao Qiu snorted, Lin Tingan just breathed a sigh of relief, Lao Qiu asked again, "Why did you choose C?"

Why?Of course it is because ABD is wrong.Lin Tingan groaned, trying to look at the paper, but in fact he didn't know which question he was talking about.

"This is a judgment sentence." A voice behind him said lightly.

"Because C is a judgment sentence." Up to now, Lin Tingan can only follow Zhou Chen.

"Then what is the sentence ABD?"

"Omit the front of the guest after the statement." Lin Tingan continued to play the oboe with Zhou Chen.

Lao Qiu looked at Lin Tingan and snorted, "Sit down, and listen to the class with your eyes open."

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom. In this tense and sleepy state, any little episode could bring them heartless laughter. Everyone scratched their necks and "hahaha", as if by This can release the stress and irritability that is full of backlog in the heart.

Lin Tingan was a maniac type, and said with a stiff neck, "Mr. Qiu, I have my eyes open, but my eyes are too small for you to see clearly." To prove himself, Lin Tingan stared his eyes like a bull's eye.Everyone laughed even more happily, and someone took a picture of the table.

Teacher Qiu slapped the blackboard vigorously, and the classroom became quiet for a while. He said, "You obviously have your eyes closed, and, Zhou Chen in the back, did I ask you? Why don't you tell me?"

Teacher Qiu was very irritable when he said this. Today, he wanted to catch Lin Tingan as a typical example. This kid just owed scolding. Who knew that Zhou Chen would be killed halfway to get in the way. Tsk, why couldn't Zhou Chen understand the matter this time? Well, talk too much!

Lin Tingan stopped smiling, and turned his head to look at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at Lin Tingan and muttered "stupid" in a low voice.

Lin Tingan let out a "hiss", restraining his urge to make a move, and said to himself: If you have a high IQ and a low EQ, you must be a public enemy in the future.

Although Zhou Chen was quite annoying, from that day on, Lin Tingan slept more soundly in Chinese class, until Teacher Qiu couldn't bear it and asked him to stand behind and listen.Lin Tingan yawned, lazily stood up with the paper in hand, took a step back, and stood beside Zhou Chen.

"Tell me, what's wrong with option C?" Lao Qiu asked.

Lin Tingan automatically and consciously looked at Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen blinked and was a little dazed, Lin Tingan sighed, and pointed to Zhou Chen's paper with his chin.Zhou Chen silently rolled his eyes, and quietly handed the paper to Lin Tingan.Zhou Chen is the top student in Class [-], and the characteristic of the top student is that his handwriting is particularly ugly - of course, in Lin Tingan's mind, Du Xuan is considered a sage and not a top student - Lin Tingan, who is used to reading Du Xuan's papers, squinted his eyes. For a long time, he was stunned to be unsure what word Zhou Chen wrote on the paper.So he had to sigh and answer honestly: "I don't know."

Zhou Chen looked out of the window with a toothache, grinding out the word "stupid" from his back molars.

Sun Rui also had a toothache, but it was sour.He said: "Du Xuan, this speech you wrote... is a bit naked."

"Why are you naked?" Du Xuan said, "I expressed my hope that everyone can be admitted to this school. Isn't this also the attitude of the school? To keep high-quality students, why are you still in No. [-] Middle School?"

Sun Rui snorted: "Du Xuan, let me tell you, don't be like this all the time, or sooner or later you'll have to play it off, and then we'll see how you end up."

Du Xuan smiled silently: "Don't worry, I can't take it off, I have a measure."

"You have a fart, once you meet Lin Ting'an, you will lose all sense." Sun Rui pointed to Du Xuan's speech, "It's just a flag-raising ceremony, look at you."

"This is his last flag-raising ceremony in junior high school." Du Xuan said.

It was only a few days before the senior high school entrance examination, and junior high school ended at three o'clock in the afternoon every day. Lin Tingan wandered to the entrance of the high school building with his empty schoolbag on his back to wait for Du Xuan, and caught Zhou Chen coming out of the teaching office with a glance.

"Tsk." Lin Tingan sighed, and forcibly turned his eyes away, pretending not to see it.On the contrary, Zhou Chen said when he passed by, "Goodbye."

Lin Tingan reluctantly turned his gaze to Zhou Chen, "See you tomorrow."

When Du Xuan came out, he happened to see this scene: "Are you two alright?"

Lin Tingan held back his mouth: "What can I do with him, I hate him so much."

"Of course, as long as you like me."

Lin Tingan pointed at Du Xuan: "Hey, Du Xuan, I found that you are getting more and more exaggerated. I suspect that I met a fake Du Xuan. Our teacher used to call you a 'modest gentleman', so blind!"

"You don't like it?" Du Xuan asked, tilting her head.

"I like it." Lin Tingan lowered his head obediently.

"Let's go." Du Xuan hung her schoolbag on her shoulder and started to leave.Lin Tingan glanced at it: "What's in your bag, why are you so bulging?"

"It's just books," Du Xuan said bluntly, "One textbook comes with two workbooks, not including homework books and notebooks."

Lin Ting'an took off his schoolbag and threw it to Du Xuan, and forcibly tore off Du Xuan's schoolbag: "Let me carry it for you, the young master is a special student after all, that's the only advantage."

"You practice sprinting and don't practice shot put." Du Xuan said with a smile, but threw the heavy schoolbag to Lin Tingan without any objection. "Speaking of which, why is your schoolbag so empty as a third-year student?"

Lin Tingan said: "I have already signed the contract, as long as I can perform normally in the high school entrance examination, then why bother?"

Du Xuan sneered: "You are easy to be satisfied, and you have no intention of making persistent efforts."

Lin Tingan laughed haha, and the two walked home slowly together.Not far from the school gate, there is an old residential area. The buildings are very close together and full of vehicles. Walking around is suitable for playing hide-and-seek.The two of them especially like to pass through buildings, and they can hold hands when they find a corner where no one is around.When they passed through the buildings again, Lin Tingan suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures, he paused, dropped Du Xuan's schoolbag and ran away.

"Hey, why are you going?" Du Xuan couldn't react in time and froze there.

"Wait for me." Lin Tingan quickly turned a corner of the building and disappeared.

Du Xuan picked up the schoolbag on the ground and rushed over.As soon as he ran to the front of the building, he heard Lin Tingan's voice shouting: "Dong Xiao, you are courting death!"

Du Xuan's heart tightened, and he rushed over in two quick steps.

As soon as he turned around the corner of the building, he saw Lin Tingan pulling up Zhou Chen who was covered in dirt from the ground. Dong Xiao and two unknown people surrounded Lin Tingan and glared at each other.

"Fuck," Du Xuan dropped her schoolbag and stood beside Lin Tingan, shouting at Dong Xiao, "What are you doing, stop it."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Dong Xiao glanced at Du Xuan contemptuously, pointed at Zhou Chen who stood up from the ground with difficulty, and said, "I warn you, if you dare to recruit me again, I will cut you to death."

Lin Tingan: "Who are you threatening?"

Zhou Chen was dragged by Lin Ting'an, struggled twice but couldn't break free, so he could only stare at Dong Xiao viciously: "Don't bother me, or I will fight you to the end."

Just as Dong Xiao was about to speak, Du Xuan said in a low voice, "Enough is enough for both of you, there is no end!"

The two people who came with Dong Xiao looked like they were from outside the school. They glanced at Du Xuan's high school uniform, sneered, and suddenly grabbed Du Xuan's arm.Lin Tingan immediately reached out to stop him, but before his hand touched the man's arm, Du Xuan swung his left forearm across and bumped into the man's palm.At the same time as it hit, the arm snapped outwards, drawing a circle and wrapping the man's entire right arm into the crook of the arm.

"Still hitting," Du Xuan shouted with his eyes wide open, "I can't understand what I'm saying!"

The man was hugged by Du Xuan's arm and struggled hard, but he couldn't break free no matter what.Dong Xiao and another person scolded "Fuck me" and rushed towards Du Xuan. Lin Tingan let go of Zhou Chen in a hurry to stop him, but only caught one person. Fortunately, Zhou Chen grabbed him. The collar of Dong Xiao's clothes.

"Dong Xiao!" Zhou Chen dragged the person to him, and said word by word, "We two, what do you think about this matter? I don't have time to spend every day with you, tell me!"

Dong Xiao was stunned for a moment, half-grown children, from kindergarten to junior high school, the most deviant behavior is to gather crowds to fight, nothing more than to vent their anger.Find a few good friends of yours, block people in the building group, although Du Xuan interrupted, but in fact the fight is over, the anger is out, and the cruel words are teased... What else can I do?

Another fight?

Dong Xiao looked at Lin Ting'an and Zhou Chen, one of them ran for several kilometers every day, the other played basketball every day, Du Xuan was not familiar with it, but he restrained one of them as soon as he made a move, and he is still unable to move. unknown...

Du Xuan let go of the man and pushed the man away, took a step forward, and stopped Lin Tingan behind him calmly: "Okay, scold and beat, let's forget about it. After graduating, what kind of nonsense will you be without contact with each other in the future?"

Zhou Chen pushed Dong Xiao away, pointed at his mess, and said impatiently, "Is it alright?"

Dong Xiao picked up the schoolbag that fell on the ground: "Okay. But let me tell you Zhou Chen, do you believe that someone will beat you to death sooner or later, your mouth is too fucking cheap. Don't you think you are not popular? Just ask around, does anyone in the whole grade hate you, regardless of your good grades, your homeroom teacher will never wait to see you."

Zhou Chen glared at Dong Xiao leaving with a gloomy expression.

Lin Tingan snorted, walked to the side of the building to pick up their schoolbags, and then greeted, "Du Xuan, let's go."

Du Xuan glanced at Zhou Chen, hesitated and said, "Let's go."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Thank you."

Du Xuan took two steps to catch up with Lin Tingan: "What are you running for?"

"Tsk," Lin Ting'an said, "I'm too lazy to talk to him. My god, I can be mad at him if I can't say a few words to him. I've never seen a person with such a low EQ."

"Then you still help him?" Du Xuan asked with a smile.

Lin Tingan thought for a while and said, "Who asked me to talk about loyalty?"

Du Xuan walked silently for a while, and said, "Actually, I sympathize with him."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Lin Tingan recalled Du Xuan's words interrupted by Yang Yiming in the counseling room that day.

"I kind of understand why he fights with Dong Xiao. It's not because Dong Xiao scolded people, but because Dong Xiao is right."

Lin Tingan: "Zhou Chen... His parents really don't care about him."

Du Xuan: "Actually, my parents don't care about me, they just care about what they want."

What he said was a bit convoluted, but Lin Tingan understood, he shook Du Xuan's hand: "But you are different from Zhou Chen."

Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan and asked, "Have you thought about the future?"

Lin Tingan frowned, and nodded honestly: "I thought about it, but... it might be too simple."

"I've thought about it, and thought about it very seriously." Du Xuan said, "It hurts my head, but I still can't figure it out. Also, I don't quite understand what Teacher Yang said. I don't know what to do in the future." How to do it."

Lin Tingan bit his lower lip, and dragged Du Xuan into the door of a nearby apartment building: "Du Xuan, my idea is very simple, do you want to listen?"

Du Xuan nodded.

"It's very simple, don't laugh." Lin Ting'an blushed even more, "Actually, he just wants to play when he has nothing to do."

"I don't laugh," Du Xuan said seriously, "It's better to have ideas than I have no ideas."

"I just thought," Lin Tingan blushed before he could speak, "Let's finish middle school in a down-to-earth manner, don't spend the pocket money given by parents, and save it first. After entering university, it will be full and you can work part-time After earning money, save some money while studying. Then slowly tell the parents about the two of us. If you can accept it, everyone will be happy. If you can’t...you will probably be kicked out of the house. Then use what we saved With money and part-time jobs, we can finish college, and after college we can find a job and we will be self-reliant."

Du Xuan listened, and slowly widened his eyes. He looked at Lin Ting'an with disbelief in his eyes: "You... think so far?"

"Ah," Lin Tingan scratched his head embarrassingly, "Actually, I think more... Hey, anyway, I don't want to take the high school entrance examination, so I'm just free to think about these things."

"What else are you thinking about?"

"I think it's easy to talk to my parents. They should accept us in the end. Your parents... anyway, it's hard to say how long my dad can work in this job. In the end, he may have to go back to the south. Why don't you go back with us? , Although our city is not big, it is very beautiful.”

Du Xuan forced a smile: "Then I won't have parents."

Lin Tingan said: "You have me, I will share my parents with you, okay?"

Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan for a while, then suddenly pushed him against the wall and kissed him.
