don't force me

Du Xuan said that Sun Rui's grandma's house has a big yard. Lin Tingan imagined that the yard should be [-] to [-] square meters, with some flowers, green onions and peppers planted in the middle of the yard. There is one main house, east and west, and two wing rooms, which is standard in the north. Courtyard layout.As a result, when I went to the village to see it, I was dumbfounded.

A very grand three-story building with a large terrace. The yard is indeed fifty or sixty square meters, but it is the backyard, and the front yard is still thirty to forty square meters. There is a big tree in the corner of the yard. , Thick shade covered half of the yard.A shallow fish pond was built next to the tree, and there were several koi swimming slowly and proudly in it. Large rough stones were piled up in a corner of the pond, and a very rich-looking turtle lay on top of it.Lin Tingan pestered it with his fingers, and it didn't even bother to shrink its head.

"It's not afraid of people." Lin Tingan exclaimed in surprise.

Du Xuan looked at this turtle who had never left a big city with pity, and said: "This turtle is older than Sun Rui, and he is touched dozens of times every day. He has a thick skin and never knows what it means to be shy and afraid." .”

Lin Tingan's grandmother is over 70 years old, so I always think that Sun Rui's grandmother is about the same age. When I saw a woman with a straight back and a windy walk, about 60 years old, I didn't know what to call "Auntie" for a while. "Or "grandma".

Du Xuan first said politely, "Grandma Peng."

"Okay, okay," Grandma Peng smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Why did Xiaoxuan come so late this year?"

"I'm a bit busy during the summer vacation, so I haven't spared time to come." Du Xuan said.

Lin Tingan hurriedly greeted him, and Grandma Peng said, "Hey, this kid is really good-looking."

Lin Tingan immediately frowned, and looked at Du Xuan with a bit of complacency.

Grandma Peng's house has a guest room, and Du Xuan used to live there every time she came.Grandma Peng asked: "Xiao An, where do you live? Do you live with Xiao Xuan or separate, or Xiao Xuan, you can go to Ruirui's house and let Xiao An live in the guest room."

Du Xuan waved his hand: "No need, I'll just live with Lin Ting'an."

"You are welcome, you are so familiar with Ruirui, what's the problem with you living with him?"

"No problem, no problem, I don't think it's troublesome," Du Xuan said affectionately to Grandma Larapeng, "Don't worry about it, it's fine for me to share a room with Lin Ting'an."

Grandma Peng didn't insist: "Then go up, take a bath to cool off on a hot day, it's hot now, don't climb the mountain, just rest in the house. You can go to the river to play in the next half an hour. Just don't go into deep water."

Lin Tingan dragged Du Xuan up to the third floor quickly.Rural people pay attention to building a real house. There are not so many fancy decorations, but it is spacious and bright. There is only a double bed, a wardrobe, a bedside table, and an empty writing desk in the room.The air conditioner in the room has been on for a while, and it is cool and refreshing.

Lin Tingan threw the schoolbag on the ground and threw himself on the bed: "Hey, it's so comfortable."

Du Xuan picked up her schoolbag and closed the door behind her.

"Do you want to take a shower first?" Du Xuan asked, "You sweat a lot."

"Yes." Lin Tingan jumped up from the bed, dug out new clothes and asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

"Go to the first room."

Lin Tingan was swept away like a gust of wind. Du Xuan heard the phone ring twice, took it out and saw that it was Sun Rui's WeChat: Are you there yet?

Du Xuan: Here we are.

Sun Rui: My grandma is getting old, I ask you to be careful, if you want to do something, you must hide well, and don't scare her.

Du Xuan: Go away.

Du Xuan put away her mobile phone and lay on her back on the big bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling and smiling.In fact, the purpose of climbing the mountain was to compensate Lin Tingan. Du Xuan still remembers Lin Tingan's disappointed expression when he refused Lin Tingan to travel.At that time, he asked pleadingly: "Can't you spare a little time?" His pitiful tone made Du Xuan feel distressed even thinking about it now.

Mountain climbing, in Du Xuan's view, is a short trip. If you are happy, you can climb it. If you are not happy, you can go to the river at the entrance of the village to play in the water.No need to do homework, no need to go to remedial classes, no need to read books, no need to listen to parents nagging, go downstairs to eat when it is time, stroll in the field after eating, go back to the house after walking and play games on the phone, when you get tired of playing on the phone Just throw it away and close your eyes and go to sleep... After a busy school year, it is only natural to enjoy this depraved life for three or four days.

But Sun Rui's "do something" suddenly changed the taste of this simple short-distance trip, Du Xuan suddenly felt a little hot, and the dizziness that Lin Tingan had on the day when he returned home from military training returned.Du Xuan took a deep breath, dragged a towel and went downstairs.

Grandma Peng looked at Du Xuan, who was in the yard with the tap watering the flowers on his head, and asked, "What are you doing? Why don't you go to the bathroom to wash? The water is underground, so what if you catch a cold?"

Du Xuan wiped water all over her face: "It's nothing, I just wanted to cool off."

When he turned back to the third floor, Lin Tingan was already wiping his hair in front of the window: "What did you do? Hey, why is your hair wet?"

"It's too hot," Du Xuan said, "You can't come out after taking a shower for a long time, so I went downstairs and took a shower."

"Is it very slow? It's pretty fast."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower." Du Xuan dragged his clothes and went to the bathroom.

Lin Tingan stood at the window and stretched. Through the window, he could see the gloomy mountains. He could smell the special and fresh smell of trees in the mountains. The surrounding was very quiet, and he could hear the sound of the wind passing through the forest.Lin Tingan felt that this small village was far better than any seaside grassland. It was so quiet that there were only the two of them in this small world, safe and comfortable.

"Comfortable!" Lin Tingan yelled, and threw himself on the big bed again.

When Du Xuan wiped her hair and walked into the room, Lin Tingan was already almost asleep.Half of his face was buried in the pillow, the wet hair soaked a small piece of the pillow cover, his two long legs stretched out from the sports shorts and lay carelessly on the bed, probably because the air conditioner was blowing hard, he shrunk slightly for a moment.

This kid was so excited last night that he was still sending WeChat messages in the middle of the night, but he woke up at [-] o'clock this morning, so it's no wonder he was so sleepy.Du Xuan thought, Lin Ting'an was probably the worst person he had ever seen who couldn't stay up late, and it was the same when he participated in the regional competition last time. He could fall asleep dazedly by himself under the sun.

Du Xuan smiled, went to bed quietly, grabbed the thin cup to cover the two of them, and lay down with him.

Lin Tingan, who was thoroughly cooled by the air conditioner, finally found a warm place, and half asleep and half awake, he posted to Du Xuan's side: "Did you finish washing?" He muttered vaguely.

"Well, you can sleep for a while, it's too hot to go out now."

"Oh." Lin Tingan didn't even open his eyes, and fell asleep directly leaning against Du Xuan.

The room was extremely quiet, Du Xuan's bare legs were pressed against Lin Tingan's, and Lin Tingan's thin breathing could be felt on his shoulders, warm and a little itchy.Du Xuan stared at the ceiling, and suddenly thought in the tranquility that the two of them have been together all this time, that's probably why.

Quiet, comfortable and safe.

This should be the most beautiful moment of the whole summer vacation.

and then?

After Du Xuan asked Lin Tingan if he had thought about it, Lin Tingan said embarrassedly, "I have thought about it, but it is too simple."Du Xuan smiled silently, Lin Tingan really thought too simply, the world was far more complicated than he imagined, and they chose the most difficult path.Du Xuan glanced sideways at Lin Tingan. He couldn't tell who dragged who down this road, but so far no one wanted to let go.

Du Xuan quietly hugged Lin Tingan's waist under the quilt, and fell asleep with him.

When the sun was setting, Lin Tingan woke up, and as soon as he turned over, he startled Du Xuan, who was still asleep.

Du Xuan asked, "Are you awake?"

Lin Tingan blinked in bewilderment, but he hadn't fully woken up yet. He was not as energetic as usual, and felt a sense of bewilderment and bewilderment.

It looks good no matter what, just like Grandma Peng said, "This kid looks so good", Du Xuan couldn't help but leaned over and kissed him.

"Hmm." The sleepiness in Lin Tingan's eyes faded away quickly, he put his arms around Du Xuan's waist, raised his head and kissed him wholeheartedly.

This is the first time they can hug and kiss so unscrupulously.

Lin Tingan felt himself trembling, trembling uncontrollably.Du Xuan let go of him slowly, and looked into his eyes at a very close distance. There was nothing in Lin Tingan's eyes, only Du Xuan.

Du Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Your heart is not big, and your eyes are even smaller."

Lin Tingan blinked blankly: "Are my eyes small?"

"Small."

"Oh, I have single eyelids..." Lin Ting settled down, and said very seriously, "Single eyelid boys are popular now. Besides, I have single eyelids but my eyes are not small. I have big eyes and single eyelids."

Du Xuan laughed: "Yes, you are a very handsome boy with single eyelids."

Poor Lin Tingan, who just woke up, didn't go around what Du Xuan said, but he was not stupid enough to think that Du Xuan was sincerely praising himself, so he knelt up angrily, pressed Du Xuan's shoulder and said in a low voice: "You What laughing?"

"You handsome."

"Speak or not?"

"The will of our Communist Youth League members is made of steel."

Lin Tingan rolled his eyes, relaxed his hands, leaned over Du Xuan's chest, and said in a coquettish voice, "Tell me, or I'll disgust you to death."

He gently blew on Du Xuan, and touched Du Xuan's waist dishonestly.Du Xuan couldn't laugh anymore, he frowned, and forced himself to say: "I laughed at you for being too thick-skinned... okay, get up quickly, I'll take you to the river to play when it's cooler now."

"Can you catch fish?" Lin Tingan's attention shifted instantly.

"There are small fish fry, but they are almost impossible to catch, especially thieves." Du Xuan patted Lin Tingan's back, "Hurry up, let's go."

Lin Tingan turned over and got off Du Xuan, and quickly put on his clothes: "Let's go."

Du Xuan slowly got off the bed, bent over to tie his shoelaces for a long time, waiting until Lin Tingan urged impatiently.

"Let's go," Du Xuan said with a smile, "It's not like I'm going back tomorrow, why are you in a hurry."

The village is next to the mountain, and a clear mountain stream winds down from the mountain, and the village is actually spread out along the stream.In the evening, all the children in the village ran out to play by the stream, and there was a lot of laughter by the water.

Lin Tingan said in surprise: "Is the water so clean?"

"The village is clean because it is close to the mountain, but it will get dirty if you go downstream." Du Xuan said, "You can play with water, but you can't drink it."

Lin Tingan originally planned to play in the water for a while, but looking around now, he saw all seven or eight-year-old kids splashing in the water in a pair of shorts, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, feeling that he was compared to them. It's an "adult".

"Stop playing?" Du Xuan asked.

"What's the fun here?" Lin Tingan said disdainfully, while stepping his feet in flip-flops into the water, "You are wearing sneakers when you come to the water, are you sick?"

"I didn't want to go into the water." Du Xuan said.

"How about you take off your shoes and stand down for a while, it will be cool."

"Okay." Du Xuan couldn't bear to disappoint, she took off her shoes and socks and stood in the water on her knees.

Uh...and then?

Lin Tingan looked at Du Xuan, and Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan, all a little dazed.Playing in the water is fun when there are many people. Two people splashing water and fighting each other may seem too stupid, too pretentious, and too contrived, but they can't just stand in the water all the time. Laughed together.

The children playing in the water by the stream didn't have time to talk to these two silly-looking big brothers, they had a great time playing by themselves.

When the sun was about to set, the two of them walked slowly back to Grandma Peng's yard together. Under the shade of the trees, all the heat dissipated. Grandma Peng washed the ground with water, and cool water vapor rose from the terrazzo floor.Move a small stool and sit under the shade of a tree, and the mountain breeze blows gently, refreshing and comfortable.

Grandma Peng didn't treat Du Xuan as an outsider, and naturally she didn't treat Lin Ting'an as a guest. The farm meal was simple and authentic, exuding the aroma of a firewood cauldron.Under the shade of a tree, Lin Tingan ate two big bowls of rice with a big yellow dog squatting at his feet.

Du Xuan drank the soup with a bowl in his hand, and smiled while drinking: "If you eat like this, you will be tortured to death by Lao Hu when the school starts."

"Am I eating too much?"

Grandma Peng was not happy: "What's so much? When children of your age are growing up, don't follow the example of those celebrities who lose weight. They are all so thin that they don't see how beautiful they are."

Du Xuan held the bowl and smiled: "Grandma, he is a sprinter, he will be scolded if he gains weight."

"Then...then eat first. After eating, you will lose weight after running around for two laps. I have cooked so many dishes, it would be a waste if I don't eat."

Lin Tingan rubbed his stomach: "Forget it, let's talk about it first when we are full. It's great to get up early tomorrow and go for a run with me."

"I'm not going." Du Xuan waved his hand, "I'm warning you, if you want to run, you can run by yourself, don't wake me up, or I'll kill you."

"Inhumane." Lin Tingan gave Du Xuan a vicious look.

Grandma Peng watched with a smile on the side, and the usually quiet small yard became lively.

After dinner, the two of them watched TV with Grandma Peng for a while, and then went back to the third floor.Lin Tingan looked at the large terrace outside and asked, "Can you see the stars?"

"Yes." Du Xuan said, "Would you like to see it?"

Lin Tingan nodded, and said, "Aren't you particularly stupid?"

"It's okay," Du Xuan said tolerantly, "After all, I didn't expect much from your IQ."

"What do you know?" Lin Tingan rolled his eyes and said, "I call it romantic, romantic."

"It's not easy, you know romance," Du Xuan sneered, "Hey, can you write the word 'romantic' correctly? By the way, have you finished your Chinese summer homework? Oh, yes, you don't have summer vacation Operation."

Lin Tingan laughed loudly: "I don't know who has a low IQ."

The two ordered a plate of mosquito coils from the house and took it to the terrace, and saw a deck chair on the terrace.

"Who's lying down?" Lin Tingan asked, "How about we play a game of punches, the one who wins lies down, and the one who loses sits on the ground."

Du Xuan walked over, took Lin Tingan's hand and stood beside the recliner.

"What?" Lin Tingan asked stupidly.

Du Xuan sat down suddenly, stretched his right hand, and Lin Tingan immediately fell down.

"Hey, my god!" The moment Lin Tingan fell down, relying on his athletic skills, he forcibly controlled his body, stretched out his hand to support the back of the recliner, and did not hit Du Xuan directly.

"What are you doing?" Lin Tingan leaned against Du Xuan, his heart beating a little faster.

"Well," Du Xuan touched his shoulder, "Lin Tingan, how much weight have you gained? You killed me."

"Nonsense!" Lin Tingan raised his voice, "Why are you dragging me when you have nothing to do? If it weren't for my young master, I would definitely smash you to death."

"Look at the stars." Du Xuan lay down on his side, patted the chair, "Look at how thin I am, I can give you half of the chair, but can you squeeze in?"

"Get lost." Lin Ting'an said angrily, and at the same time carefully lay down on his side.

The nights in the countryside were extremely quiet, everyone went to bed early, and the small village soon became dark, with only a few lights scattered here and there.On the pitch-black sky, the bright stars all over the place dazzled the eyes of the two of them.Du Xuan hugged Lin Tingan from behind, and Lin Tingan could feel the rise and fall of Du Xuan's chest and even the beating of his heart on Lin Tingan's back.The big yellow dog in the yard barks occasionally, and the loudest ones are all kinds of small bugs in the grass.

Du Xuan tightened her arms and hugged Lin Tingan tightly.

Lin Tingan sighed: "It's really nice here, can we come here often in the future?"

Du Xuan smiled and said, "Then you have to ask Sun Rui, this is his home."

"Tsk," Lin Tingan said dissatisfied, "Then we can find a farmhouse."

"There will be a lot of people in the farmhouse."

Lin Tingan was silent for a while: "I'd be happier if you didn't say this is Sun Rui's house."

Du Xuan grabbed his waist: "You live in a house and still complain, what kind of attitude is this?"

"You spent more time with him than with me." Lin Tingan blurted out, and after he finished speaking, he bit his lower lip in frustration, this was too unreasonable.

Du Xuan smiled lightly and kissed him on the back of the neck: "You are jealous."

Lin Tingan shrank his neck itchyly: "It's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I feel... unhappy."

"I have been in the same class with him for ten years, and I will definitely be in the same class for the next two years. If you are upset, you will suffer." Du Xuan said with a smile.

"Tsk, what annoyance, he won't go to college with you, will he?"

"Don't worry, he won't pass the exam." Du Xuan said lightly.

Lin Ting settled down: "I couldn't pass the exam either."

Du Xuan's heart was touched by these words, and a question that he had been suppressing all along began to pop up again, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.Du Xuan asked almost uncontrollably, "Lin Ting'an, have you thought about the future?"

"Ah?" Lin Tingan desperately turned his head to look at Du Xuan, and asked strangely, "You asked this question before."

"Oh, yes." Du Xuan forced a smile.

The night covered Du Xuan's expression, but Lin Ting'an couldn't hear the emotion in those three short words.

Sleeping in late is a common problem among urban children. Although it was well planned to get up early and go hiking, when Lin Tingan and Du Xuan turned off the alarm clocks of their mobile phones and hugged each other and continued to sleep, this plan was just a plan.At almost nine o'clock, the two young masters finally woke up, the sun had already risen high, and a steaming heat wave rose from the ground.Lin Tingan rolled around on the bed: "I don't want to go hiking anymore, just stay indoors."

Du Xuan: "Didn't you always want to climb mountains?"

"I just came back from military training, and I need to rest." Lin Tingan put out a grandiose reason, then rolled over and wrapped himself in a quilt, and closed his eyes again.

"It's up to you." Du Xuan took out his mobile phone to play games, Lin Tingan didn't get up, and he was willing to lie down with him.

As time ticked by, Du Xuan felt that it was time for lunch if he didn't wake up this kid, so he simply lifted Lin Tingan's quilt.

"It's so comfortable." Lin Ting'an was lazily dragged up by Du Xuan, and said with emotion, "Du Xuan, I have an idea. Let's buy a house in the countryside in the future and come on vacation in summer."

"Ah?" Du Xuan was making the quilt, and was taken aback by the endless words.

Lin Ting'an came to his spirits, and even said with gestures: "I mean, we will work in the future, save some money, and come to the countryside to buy a house, a small house is fine. Come on vacation every weekend or summer, just like Now like this, I don’t do anything, just eat, eat and sleep. How cool.”

"..." Du Xuan was still holding the corner of the quilt with both hands, and looked at Lin Ting'an in a daze.

"That's great." Lin Tingan became more and more excited as he talked, "And my parents can come and live after they retire. It's great to plant and grow flowers."

Du Xuan's mind was buzzing, Lin Tingan was a very simple person, so simple that he only looked at the beginning and the end of all problems, and the middle process did not exist for him.He joined the track and field team because he could be specially recruited to the third middle school, and he could skip the training and test preparation in the middle; he likes someone alone, so the years are quiet and peaceful when he comes up, and the defense, temptation, struggle, and struggle in the middle are all negligible. .But it was because of his simplicity that made Du Xuan terrified.He was afraid of hearing the kind of life Lin Tingan described, afraid that once he accepted that kind of setting for the future, he would no longer be able to bear any surprises, and even more afraid that the reality would be completely opposite to his imagination, and that he would end up empty-handed.

Du Xuan is used to planning for the worst. He is used to "putting it to death to survive". Facing a vibrant tomorrow, he always feels that it is "blind optimism", so he resists subconsciously.At this time, seeing Lin Tingan enthusiastically planning their lives in 30 or [-] years, he felt incredible, flustered and even a little angry.

He really wanted to interrupt Lin Tingan, and said to him: "Calm down, the reality is far from your imagination!"

But he couldn't bear it, because that scene was so beautiful, so beautiful that he even forgot whether he should fear or look forward to it.

Before going to bed that night, Du Xuan received a call from Du Jiancheng. Du Xuan avoided Lin Tingan, who was teasing cats and dogs in the yard, and went to the backyard to answer the call.

Du Jiancheng asked if he was having fun, and asked Du Xuan not to forget to buy something for Grandma Peng as a gift, and if it was not easy to give money, give something; asked Du Xuan to pay attention to safety and take good care of Lin Tingan...

Du Xuan was a little impatient to hear that, the foreshadowing was too long, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Du Jiancheng said: "Also, I heard that your Uncle Lin will go back to the south next year, do you know about this?"

Du Xuan swayed for a while, feeling that he was floating up in a flicker, a feeling of fear and helplessness immediately floated up, he almost subconsciously turned to the corner of the small building, and saw with his own eyes that Lin Tingan was still sitting on the big tree. Only when he was under the tree did he feel relieved - at that moment, he even felt that Lin Tingan had already left.

"I...don't know." Du Xuan said with difficulty, licking her instantly dry lips.

"Then ask around," Du Jiancheng said, "Xiao An should know about this. If Uncle Lin wants to leave, he must transfer to another school."

A voice suddenly came out from the depths of Du Xuan's mind: "Anyway, I'm going back to the south sooner or later"!

When did you say that?Why do you say that?Du Xuan questioned herself, desperately looking for this scene from the fragments of memory: in front of the Penumbra Gate, that heart-pounding night, his fist-sized heart was all about himself...

Du Xuan gripped the phone tightly, and was hurt by the metal body. This pain made him clearly realize:

Perhaps, without waiting for the parents of both parties to know, the distance of thousands of mountains and rivers can make it all end.

And about the future, I don't know anything.

It is really unbelievable that Lin Tingan said such a bright future.
