don't force me

Du Xuan stood at the door of the house, glaring at Du Jiancheng who had just returned home and had not had time to change his clothes, while Zhou Man stood in the living room, already losing his usual demeanor.Her hair was disheveled, the makeup on her face was all over, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were still wet.Seeing Lin Tingan appearing at the door of the house, she wiped her face subconsciously, trying to wipe away the tears, but her makeup was even more smudged, and she was in a mess.

However, Zhou Man still straightened his waist and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Xiaoxuan is back?"

"What are you arguing about!" Du Xuan asked mercilessly, ignoring Zhou Man's whitewashing of peace.

"Ask your mother!" Du Jiancheng pointed at Zhou Man and said angrily, "I'm a psychopath, suspicious all day long."

Zhou Man stroked her hair subconsciously, coughed and said, "Has Xiaoxuan eaten? Ah, Xiaoan...what's the matter?"

Even if Lin Tingan was a fool, he knew that he should pretend to be blind at this time, and hurried downstairs to go home, but he stubbornly looked at Du Xuan and didn't say a word.

Du Xuan turned to Lin Tingan and shook his head lightly: "Go down."

Lin Tingan raised his eyebrows, showing a questioning expression.

Du Xuan: "You go."

Lin Tingan took a deep look at Du Xuan, then turned around and went downstairs.

Du Xuan watched Lin Tingan's back disappear, then turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Man took a breath: "It's okay, Mom and Dad have something to discuss, you can go back to your room and do your homework."

Du Xuan shook her head: "What's the matter? You're arguing all day, and I'm not blind."

Zhou Man: "Don't meddle in your lord's affairs, go and do your homework... I'll cook."

Du Xuan was irritated by Zhou Man's attitude. He took two steps forward, stood in front of Zhou Man and said stubbornly: "No, you have been arguing for the past two months. What's the matter that you have to discuss for so long? What the hell are you talking about?" What's wrong?"

Du Jiancheng snorted: "I think your mother is in menopause and is suspicious all day long. Xiaoxuan, please ignore your mother."

Zhou Man stared at Du Jiancheng almost furiously, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled slightly because he was trying to restrain himself.She gritted her teeth, but did not refute. She just pushed Du Xuan lightly: "Go do your homework."

Du Xuan pushed her mother's hand away: "I want to know what's going on. I'm seventeen. Even if I'm not qualified to ask about this family matter, I still have the right to know about it, right?"

"Really not..."

"Did you quarrel with Dad because he came home late? Do you suspect that he has something?" Du Xuan asked desperately.

Many things are like this, and everyone knows it well but never reveals it. It seems that as long as you don't tear off the veil, you can comfort yourself that the world is peaceful, and there is room for everything to turn around.But Du Xuan was very annoying, he hated this kind of unclear situation, this false calm made him very tired.

Tears welled up in Zhou Man's red eyes, she trembled her lips, tried several times but could not speak.

"Your mother is just sick." Du Jiancheng said, "Xiaoxuan, Dad just works overtime when he comes home late. Think about it..."

"Is there any project in the company recently?" Du Xuan asked, interrupting his father.

"Yes. You know, dad is always like this when he's busy."

"You have been working on this project for a long time, right?" Du Xuan said coldly, "When will it be completed?"

"Come on, it's almost over."

"Then you can go home on time at the end of the month, right?"

"At the end of the month..." Du Jiancheng was a little confused by his son's series of questions.The Du Xuan in front of him made him feel strange. In his impression, Du Xuan was a very well-behaved child who didn't talk much and just studied every day.Even the quarrel in the third year of junior high school was quickly attributed to the emotional rebound caused by "huge study pressure".Besides, now that I think about it, it's not unreasonable for a child to secretly save money to buy a mobile phone. It's probably the most deviant time for Du Xuan.After entering high school, Du Xuan talked less and less, but his grades have been stable. Unexpectedly, when he asked aggressively with a straight face, he would feel a sense of intimidation.

The 17-year-old boy is gradually becoming a man.

Du Jiancheng was even a little dazed, feeling that he had lost ten years of his son's time, and this child had directly changed from seven years old to 17 years old.

Looking at his son's back, Zhou Man finally burst into tears.

"Can I go home on time at the end of the month?" Du Xuan asked again, with a tough tone.

"The end of this month is the end of the year, and I have a lot of entertainment at the end of the year." Du Jiancheng said.

"In the past, you often took your mother with you to your entertainment."

"Why do you speak in the same tone as your mother?" Du Jiancheng was furious, even a little embarrassed, "Your mother also works overtime, besides, who will cook for you when your mother and I are not at home?"

"You didn't ask me this question when I was in the second year of junior high school, but you remembered to ask me about my dinner when I was in the second year of high school."

Zhou Man trembled, and the tears fell even more fiercely.

Du Jiancheng was stunned, and soon he yelled angrily: "Then what do you mean? Huh? Do you also suspect that I am coming home late? I have worked hard to earn money..."

"Okay, I didn't say anything." Du Xuan interrupted Du Jiancheng, "I don't mean anything else, I just want you to go home early after get off work."

After finishing speaking, Du Xuan picked up his schoolbag and walked into his room, and slammed the door behind him. With the loud closing sound, he also said:

"If you think about it, live it well, don't toss about it."

Du Xuan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but there was a dead silence outside the room, and Zhou Man stared blankly at Du Xuan's door.And Du Jiancheng really wanted to rush in and slap Du Xuan hard like he did the year before last, but he couldn't move forward, and facing Du Xuan who had grown into a young man, he was actually a little scared.

He glanced at Zhou Man who had been crying but never bent down, and then at the closed door, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Sitting in front of the desk, Du Xuan took out the book calmly. He had a lot of homework left for today. He had to finish it as soon as possible, and then went to do the homework for the biology training class.He didn't want to lose in the winter vacation competition. Since Lin Tingan gave him the title of "Sage of Learning", he didn't want to let him down.

Before doing his homework, he sent Lin Tingan a WeChat message: Nothing happened, don't worry.

Lin Tingan replied: OK

Then both of them put down their phones very tacitly.Until late at night, Lin Tingan said: I finished my homework. As a special student, I even wrote my political homework for praise.

Du Xuan: Kiss, go to sleep.

Lin Tingan: I will accompany you for half an hour, and I will recite "You Baochan Mountain", my god, this is too difficult to memorize.

Du Xuan put down her phone with a smile and opened the biology workbook.

He said that even if I have 1 reasons to be angry, I can't give up on myself because of it.

This is even more so now, because Lin Tingan hopes that he is the best one.

December is the busiest month. Students are busy with final exams, and parents are busy with various work summaries and social gatherings. Even Ma Jing, who always takes care of her family, has to work overtime for several days in a row.

Du Xuan said to Lin Ting'an: "After training, go to your home to do your homework. I'll take a look at your Chinese by the way."

Lin Tingan: "I only heard the first half of the sentence."

Du Xuan put her arms around Lin Tingan's shoulders: "If you have time, you can write another composition for me. You should be writing a complex narrative now, right?"

Lin Tingan quickly rubbed his cheek against Du Xuan's hand on his shoulder: "We write lyrical narratives."

"What are you expressing your feelings for?"

"Fornication."

Du Xuan leaned closer to Lin Ting'an's ear: "Okay, let me see if you rape me."

Du Xuan's warm breath blew in Lin Tingan's ears, giving Lin Tingan, who was particularly afraid of the cold, a special feeling.He shrugged his shoulders, blushing inexplicably.

Du Xuan was shocked: "Why are you blushing?"

Lin Tingan said with a straight face: "In broad daylight, stay away from me."

"Yo, who pointed at my nose in public and asked me if I wanted to be fucked?"

"When did I say that!" Lin Tingan jumped up, blushing.

"It's in the swimming pool." Du Xuan blinked and whistled.

Du Xuan's rogue whistle is a signal flare. Memories of swimming trunks, "fucking" and "24-hour personal butler service on call" all come to my eyes that year. Lin Tingan was stunned for a while by the worry, and then he sighed: "I actually have a boyfriend."

"Hmm. Comments?"

"No, I just feel a little fantasy. After all, I once boasted to my mother that I would marry a beautiful and virtuous wife like her."

"Tsk." Du Xuan sighed, "You will definitely win the Nobel Prize."

Lin Tingan said: "Just tell me, is my mother happy to hear this?"

"It must be fun."

"Then it's over? You learn a little bit, Teacher Yang has already said that I am a person with special language skills."

Du Xuan kicked him unbearably: "People with language skills, go back tonight and write me a composition for me to see."''

Lin Tingan said sadly: "When you are in love, don't mention studies, especially Chinese, okay?"

Du Xuan: "Hurry up and go to training, I'll wait for you."

Lin Tingan's training subject today is starting, the task is not too heavy, and the weather is really cold, Hu Kun left half an hour early.Lin Tingan avoids Hu Kun and tremblingly sends Du Xuan a WeChat message, and the two make an appointment to meet at the school gate.

After putting away his mobile phone, Lin Ting'an patiently listened to Hu Kun's conclusion, then skipped to the school gate. Halfway there, he saw Du Xuan coming out of the high school building, accompanied by a person.Lin Tingan couldn't help grinding his teeth when he saw this man—why hasn't Li Tianyou been captured by aliens yet?

When Du Xuan saw Lin Tingan from afar, he waved his hand, said a few words to Li Tianyou, and walked over quickly.

"What did he tell you?" Lin Tingan pouted in Li Tianyou's direction.

"It's just a coincidence," Du Xuan said with a smile, "You're too strict, I can't talk to others?"

"Tsk, I'm just asking." Lin Tingan thought about it, and added, "Besides, as your boyfriend, I'm asking what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, can't I confess honestly? It's the biological competition in the winter vacation. We are in a group, so we communicate more often." Du Xuan smiled and rubbed the back of Lin Tingan's neck.

"Can he play with you? Does he have good biology?"

"Better than me." Du Xuan said honestly, "His reasoning ability is better than mine."

"The final exam killed him," Lin Tingan said forcefully, "I don't like him very much."

Du Xuan shrugged: "This is a bit difficult, he has never surpassed me, how do you let me destroy?"

Lin Tingan glared at Du Xuan for a while, then let out a breath slowly: "Your face is no smaller than mine, look at you crazy."

"Why can't a face that grows bigger by strength be crazy?"

It was already eight o'clock when the two returned home. Standing downstairs and looking up, the second and third floors were completely dark.

Du Xuan suddenly asked, "Has your father been working overtime lately?"

Lin Ting settled down for a while, and said vaguely: "It's the end of the year, I'm busy. Let's go upstairs quickly, I'm freezing to death."

Du Xuan followed him into the house, then grabbed Lin Tingan and asked, "Has Uncle Lin been busy recently?"

Lin Tingan: "Yes, I'm quite busy."

Du Xuan let go of her hand and said softly: "My house has been in a mess recently. Although they haven't quarreled in front of me since the last time they quarreled, the house has always been in a mess. I know this thing will never end, I just want a It’s just the result, I feel troubled when I see this false prosperity every day.”

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't the worst possible divorce?" Du Xuan pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, but there was no expression on her face. "If you can't pass it, you will pull it down. This is very annoying."

Lin Tingan frowned, Du Xuan felt a little strange to him, he had never seen anyone who could say such words in front of his family that was about to fall apart, but following him, he felt distressed, how disappointed in the family How can a human being be so ruthless?

Lin Tingan gritted his teeth: "I asked my dad for you, does Uncle Du often work overtime, and my dad told me not to 'do nothing'."

Du Xuan felt a sudden sinking in her heart, painful but relaxed.

Lin Tingan quietly took Du Xuan's hand: "What... are you thinking?"

Du Xuan turned to look at Lin Ting'an, smiled and said, "I'm thinking, do your homework quickly."

Lin Tingan asked: "You don't want to try..."

Du Xuan shook her head: "I just want them to stop using me as an excuse."

Lin Tingan tightened his palms, squeezed Du Xuan's hand and said, "I'm here."
