don't force me

Lin Tingan's eyes became hot, and he said after a while, "Dad, why do I suddenly feel that your image is so tall?"

"Can I talk? I'm already tall." Lin Yi Hulu Hulu son's hair, said, "Okay, this PPT is finished, do you want to show it to your brother Xiaoxuan and let him check it? "

Lin Tingan looked at his watch: "Later, today, Sunday, he's going to attend the biology training class."

"He has been in this training class for a year, what are he learning?"

"Who knows, I can't even understand those nouns."

Lin Yi pointed to his son: "Is there any pressure? Do you feel ashamed? Look at Xiaoxuan, who lives so clearly. She always knows what she wants and how to achieve her goal. You learn a little bit."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely learn." Lin Tingan agreed.

"Don't just talk." Lin Yi glanced at his son helplessly, "Does Xiaoxuan still enroll in so many remedial classes?"

"It's not bad. There are mathematics and physics on a regular basis. There is a biology training class on Sunday. Usually, the work of the student union is busy. In addition, there are also activities in the chess and card club. Before the exam, I went to a city competition. .”

"He stopped learning the piano?" Lin Yi asked.

"Since he passed the ninth grade, I haven't heard him play the piano again. It's actually quite a pity." Lin Tingan thought of the back of Du Xuan he saw in the music classroom more than a year ago, lonely and stubborn, looking at It hurts.

"Why didn't you play it?"

"He said he had played enough, and it was Aunt Zhou's request to pass level nine, and he didn't want to play anymore after completing the task."

Lin Yi sighed: "What a pity... His family is a bit strict, and Yangcai has to pay a lot."

Lin Tingan: "Father, what if I can't get into a key university in the future?"

Ji Dong glanced at him: "It's not good for you to think like this in the first year of high school, you are too unambitious; if you think like this in the third year of high school, then you can still say that you are self-aware."

Lin Tingan rolled his eyes: "Why do I feel more frustrated by your words?"

Lin Yi poked his son's forehead: "Study seriously, is there any major or school you want to study?"

"Does Tsinghua University count?"

"I think you're thinking too much." Lin Yi laughed, "Son, you're already a half-adult, let's have a serious chat."

Lin Tingan tugged at the front of his clothes and sat down pretendingly: "Say it."

"Your mother told you about going back to the south, I heard your mother said that you don't want to go back?"

Lin Tingan didn't expect this to happen, he hesitated and didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

"Actually, I don't want you to go back. After all, the college entrance examination is much easier here."

"Really!" Lin Tingan raised his head immediately, his eyes lit up.

"Yeah." Lin Yi said, "But it's still too early to talk about it. You should finish your freshman year in a down-to-earth manner, and then we'll see the situation."

Lin Ting'an let out a long breath, a year could count as a year, although Du Xuan promised to take the exam by his side, but he didn't want to be separated from him for a day.

"Well, I can see that it's not that you don't want to go back, you're 'specially' unwilling to go back." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"That... I'm used to it." Lin Tingan smiled awkwardly.

"If you really want to study here, then study hard and don't waste these three years."

Lin Tingan raised his hand and swore: "I will."

Lin Yi patted his son encouragingly, checked the PPT again and went out.Lin Tingan curled up on the chair and chewed his nails to think about what his father said. The more he thought about it, the more weird he felt, especially the sentence "I don't want to go back". He obviously put the accent on the word "special". Is Dad implying something?

Lin Tingan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and fully realized what it was like to "no silver 300 taels here".He was so guilty and confused that he had no choice but to take out his phone and send Du Xuan a WeChat message: When are you coming back?

Soon, Du Xuan replied: "I'm about to go upstairs."

Lin Tingan jumped off the chair, opened the door and rushed out.Ma Jing just came out of the kitchen, holding a large glass bowl in her hand, which was full of purple and black cherries, with crystal water droplets hanging on it.

"Why go?" Ma Jing called Lin Tingan to stop with a bowl.

As if Lin Tingan had never heard of it, he rushed to the door of the living room to open it. Ma Jing was taken aback by his son's mad dog-like posture, and hurriedly followed to the door.

When Lin Tingan rushed out the door, he happened to see Du Xuan turning the corner of the stairs with his schoolbag on his back. Just as he was about to rush down, he saw Du Jiancheng turning up behind Du Xuan.

……

Du Xuan walked up in two steps, looked at Lin Tingan standing at the door and raised his eyebrows, showing a puzzled expression.

Lin Tingan had no choice but to greet first: "Hello, Uncle Du."

Ma Jing was holding a big glass bowl, so she had no choice but to greet him: "Old Du, you just came back?"

"Ah, Xiaoxuan has biology class today, I'll pick him up. Are you still asleep?"

"Nope."

There was a brief silence in the corridor, and the embarrassment of the atmosphere rose exponentially, and the small stairwell was about to explode.

As the starting point of embarrassment, Lin Tingan felt a sharp pain in his heel, which was because his mother stepped on him mercilessly behind him.Lin Tingan knew that his mother wanted him to say something, but...he didn't know what to say, so he had to look up at his mother, which meant: "What should I do?"

Ma Jing thought to herself: "Why haven't I killed you, a bastard looking for trouble?" She paused for a moment, then handed the bowl of cherries to Du Xuan directly: "Ah, give the child some cars Lizi, try it."

"No, no, let Xiao An eat." Du Jiancheng waved his hand.

"Xiaoan has it, this bowl is for Xiaoxuan." Ma Jing passed it forward again.

Du Xuan smiled crookedly, he took the bowl and hugged it in his arms: "Thank you, Auntie." Then he winked at Lin Ting'an.

"No thanks, no thanks." Ma Jing looked at Du Xuan with a wide-eyed smile.

Lin Tingan stared at the bowl of cherries, it looked... so delicious.

With such an interruption, the slightly awkward atmosphere just now became lively. Du Jiancheng said some polite words and prepared to take Du Xuan upstairs.Du Xuan grabbed a handful of cherries from the bowl and stuffed them to Lin Tingan: "Hurry up and go back and memorize the manuscript."

Lin Tingan said obediently: "Okay. Oh... By the way, my PPT is ready."

"Then just follow me tomorrow morning, so you won't have to go to the student union again."

Lin Tingan held the small handful of cherries: "Come down and call me tomorrow morning."

Du Xuan waved his hand: "Go to bed early."

Ma Jing watched the Du family's father and son turn up the stairs, and kicked his son lightly: "Don't go into the house yet."

Lin Tingan followed his mother into the house, put a cherries into his mouth, it was slightly sour and sweet, he squinted his eyes, looked at the little bit of purple cherries juice on his fingers, and asked, "Cherries Do you still have the child? Wash some more for me."

"No more." Ma Jing said, "It costs more than 80 yuan a catty. If I can buy you a catty, it will be considered a reward. What else do you want?"

Lin Tingan clicked his tongue, there seemed to be a little sweetness left in his mouth, he couldn't help licking his fingers: "I haven't eaten yet, why did you give it all to Du Xuan."

Ma Jing rolled up her sleeves: "I think you really want to be beaten."

Lin Tingan ran back to the house, took out his mobile phone and sent Du Xuan a WeChat message: "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, thank you auntie for helping me."

"Why didn't you tell me that your father sent you back?"

"You didn't ask, you just asked when I'll be back, who knew you would pop up out of nowhere."

"How did you become a boyfriend? There is no tacit understanding."

Du Xuan sent over an emoticon with a "confused face", Lin Tingan responded with "You are stupid", Du Xuan sent another "Get out", Lin Tingan replied with another "I will just quietly watch you pretend to be aggressive" ", two people you come and I fight for a long time.Du Xuan probably felt that this behavior was too silly, so she asked:

"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow morning?"

"Steamed wontons."

"Okay, let's go to the restaurant in front of the school to eat."

Lin Tingan rolled around on the bed with his mobile phone in his arms. The nervousness and fear just now miraculously disappeared. Du Xuan has a kind of magical power. He can make people feel very at ease. It seems that everything is calm. For breakfast, eat steamed bun wonton or soy milk fritters.

Lin Tingan felt very happy.

Du Xuan said good night to Lin Ting'an, took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When passing by the living room, Zhou Man stopped him: "How was the midterm exam?"

"It's normal," Du Xuan said, "The score hasn't come out yet, but I feel okay."

"It's the second year of high school, you should manage your time well."

The dissatisfaction and anger in Du Xuan's heart were immediately ignited: "I didn't know the time."

"I'm just reminding you, how do you talk, kid." Zhou Man lowered his face, "The bigger you get, the more unruly you are."

Du Xuan closed his eyes and controlled his emotions. There are two bottom lines between him and Zhou Man, which are "learning" and "Lin Ting'an". There must be sparks flying within the sentence.

He said patiently: "I'm sorry, what I mean is that I promised that my grades will not decline, and I will definitely do it."

"Is it all right if you don't slip?" Zhou Man said with a straight face, "Can't you work harder? I checked your school's college entrance examination results for the past few years. As long as you don't rank in the top ten, you will definitely be able to pass the exam. But if you can learn better and get into the top five, then Tsinghua’s School of Economics can also be admitted.”

Du Xuan looked at Zhou Man in disbelief: "Why did you become Tsinghua again?"

"Why can't it be Tsinghua University? You are now in the top five of your grade, just keep it up."

"That's counting in history and land administration. I can't get into science alone."

Zhou Man sneered: "So you also know that your grades are poor in science alone. Let me tell you Du Xuan, I just want to remind you, don't think that you are good at studying, but in fact you are far behind. As far as your student union, chess and card club, it’s enough for me to let you play for a year in the first year of high school, and now you’re about to enter the third year of high school, what else do you want? I’ll talk to your teacher at the parent meeting after the midterm exam Come on, don't let you go to the competition all the time, what if no one else can play Go in the third middle school except you? Why do others know to hide in school to study, but you are stupid and don't read the book the day before the exam and then run to the competition. "

Du Xuan was so angry that she threw the change of clothes in her hand on the sofa: "When I was young, I said I couldn't play Go, but you guys forced me to play Go, because I was often beaten for this, but now I think you can't play Go." Let me get off."

"At this time and at that time, how important you are now is related to your whole life. What can you do if you win the national championship in Go, and get extra points in the college entrance examination?"

"No extra points." Du Xuan said word by word, "I will not quit the chess and card club, not only the chess and card club, but also the student union. Withdrew. You can go to our teacher, but it is up to me to decide whether to retreat, and the club and student union teachers have no right to intervene."

Zhou Man was furious: "Fart! I don't believe it yet. I'll go to your school tomorrow. I want to see if any teacher can't even control a student. If he can't control a student, he can still be a teacher. Go home as soon as possible."

Du Xuan wanted to say something else, but Du Jiancheng came out of the bedroom and said impatiently: "What's the matter with you, Zhou Man, are you annoying at night?"

"Look at your son, I just asked, what did he say, is there any rules?"

Du Jiancheng glared at Du Xuan, then turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "Okay, I have something to say tomorrow. Zhou Man, don't keep talking about Xiao Xuan. Look at yourself, you will always Yell."

"What do I look like?" Zhou Man pushes back unwillingly to show weakness, "You don't like me, don't you? Don't look at me if you don't like it."

Du Jiancheng snorted, "Crazy." He turned and entered the room, leaving Zhou Man standing alone in the living room, his face pale with anger, and he turned around in a daze, not knowing how or whom to dispel his anger.

Du Xuan picked up a change of clothes from the sofa, went to the bathroom and closed the door tightly. He turned on the faucet and flushed down with slightly cool water.The image of his mother appeared in front of his eyes, furious but powerless.

Something has changed in this family. Du Xuan is not sure what it is, but he feels it clearly.

The next day, Du Xuan went downstairs and asked Lin Tingan to go to school together. Lin Tingan yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy."

"What time did you go to bed last night?" Du Xuan asked.

"It's past twelve. I'm reciting your manuscript, it's too long."

"I'm only giving a speech next week, why are you in such a hurry?" Du Xuan asked.

"I'm afraid that if I don't know how to recite it, I will make a fool of myself on stage. After all, you wrote the manuscript and I don't want to spoil it." Lin Tingan put his hand on Du Xuan's shoulder, "Besides, as the boyfriend of a student, I have to give you a little something face."

Du Xuan pinched his waist quietly: "I think being your boyfriend is very honorable."

"That is." Lin Tingan raised his head proudly, and then said excitedly, "By the way, I wanted to tell you one thing last night, but I forgot. My dad said that he also wanted me here Take the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination here is easier. Hey, Du Xuan, I suddenly feel very stressed, and I always feel that if I fail in the exam, I will be sorry for my father."

Du Xuan bent her elbow and bumped into Lin Tingan: "Don't worry, with me, where do you want to take the exam?"

"Then how do I know," Lin Tingan said, "I only studied for two months in the first year of high school. Let's talk about it after the second year of high school. Anyway, at the worst, I should have a second year of study."

"Can you be a little promising? You said just now that you don't want to embarrass me."

"Is it embarrassing for the second book?" Lin Tingan said with a stiff neck, "How shameful is it that I was admitted to the university by my own ability?"

"No shame, no shame." Du Xuan pressed Lin Tingan's neck and said, "My boyfriend is a real talent no matter where he takes the test." He lowered his voice and said, "I like it no matter where the test is taken."

Lin Tingan squinted his eyes and smiled: "Besides, I don't think I'm bad, and I can study well."

"That's right, it's from the experimental class."

"Fuck," Lin Tingan slapped his hands, "If you don't tell me, I'll forget it. I'm still in the experimental class. Today's mid-term exam results are released. I don't want to get too many average scores in the class, otherwise Teacher Xu's face will be too ugly. gone."

Du Xuan: "Don't you want to leak the experiment?"

"Tsk, that's right." Lin Tingan sighed and said awkwardly, "Stay in the experimental class, I'm too tired, let's get out, it's shameful."

"Stay here," Du Xuan said, "If you can stay in the experimental class for three years in high school, I will promise you one thing."

"What's the matter?" Lin Tingan asked.

"Anything within human reach," Du Xuan said.

"..." Lin Tingan stared at Du Xuan, "Anything?"

Du Xuan: "As long as I can do it."

Lin Tingan was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly blushed: "It's a deal."

When school was over in the afternoon, all grade lists were posted. Lin Tingan ran up to the second floor to see the list, relying on the fact that the track and field team did not need to study at night.

Du Xuan.

Lin Tingan sighed, if this person studies liberal arts, he must be the top three Chinese subjects.

Chinese, English, History, Geography, Politics, five subjects first.

Even if history, geography, arts and science are not a paper, Lin Tingan believes that it is the result of asking Du Xuan to do the liberal arts paper.Just such a person, but he is still rational. Does this still have human nature and natural justice?

Think about your own grades, think about a person with a face as big as a pot in the morning patted his chest and said: "I won't embarrass you", and think about my father saying "I hope you stay here to take the college entrance examination" last night.

Du Xuan once asked him: "What should I do in the future".

In the future, Du Xuan will definitely study at Peking University School of Medicine, what about herself?

Du Xuan will definitely go to graduate school, what about herself?

And I heard that nine out of ten medical students have to study abroad, what about me?

Grade 198, 6th from the bottom of the experimental class.

Lin Tingan stared at a series of Du Xuan's names on the list, thinking, I must study hard.
