don't force me

The biochemistry competition that Du Xuan is going to participate in is the first one, so the organizing committee is working hard to come up with a big project.The competition for the high school group is divided into several parts. In addition to written answers, there are also experimental operations and on-site defenses. The scope ranges from basic cell microbiology to relatively high-end genetic research. The actual examination content far exceeds the scope of high school learning.

On the first day of the training camp, Du Xuan received a bunch of questions, all about genetics, with a look of life and death.Li Tianyou asked: "It's only 03:30, let's go to the library to brush up the questions, two people can do it faster."

Du Xuan shook her head: "No, I'm going home."

Li Tianyou hesitated for a moment: "Is your family matter... settled?"

"What happened to my house? Oh, did you say moving? It's all taken care of."

Li Tianyou stopped in his tracks: "Du Xuan, I think we can be considered friends. Since we are friends, you can tell me directly if you have anything to do, and I will help if I can."

Du Xuan smiled: "It means that I'm really fine, don't worry, it's fine."

Li Tianyou clicked his tongue: "Then where is your father, he..."

"He will solve my father's affairs by himself." Du Xuan interrupted Li Tianyou, "I don't want to ask and I don't have the ability to ask."

Li Tianyou choked, followed Du Xuan silently for a while, and when he was about to pass through the playground, he whispered: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."

Du Xuan shook her head: "I know you are kind, but I really don't care about him. By the way, my parents are divorced, and I'm living with my mother now."

Li Tianyou said "Ah" in embarrassment, not knowing what to say, and said after a while: "Du Xuan, when I told you that incident, I didn't have the mentality of watching a joke. To be honest, I He is the person who is least qualified to see other people's jokes. I am a joke myself. I just want to remind you, to be honest, I have seen this kind of thing quite a lot, and the later I know, the more hurt I will be."

Du Xuan glanced at Li Tianyou in surprise, but didn't ask any further questions, just said: "I didn't mean that."

"Whether you have it or not, I want to tell you that I just want to help you and make friends with you by the way...but the method may be clumsy." Li Tianyou smiled self-deprecatingly.

Du Xuan nodded: "Don't say that, I understand."

The two walked out of the school gate in silence, Li Tianyou pointed to the side of the road and said, "There is a car to pick me up, you can take my car and go, it's cold."

Du Xuan patted him and said, "No, I'll wait for someone."

Li Tianyou opened the door of an ordinary black Passat on the side of the road, and before getting in, he said: "Du Xuan, I..." He hesitated for a while, and finally just said "goodbye".

Du Xuan waved his hand and saw a piece of paper turned upside down on the front windshield of the car, probably it was the pass of the municipal party committee that Sun Rui had mentioned.

A second-generation official, who doesn't show off in school, is warm and humble, and he's not bad at all.Du Xuan watched the car drive away, then crossed the road and got into the small alley.

Lin Tingan was waiting for Du Xuan in "Penumbra". There was no business in the store at the moment. Ding Zimu sat across from him and watched him do his winter vacation homework. A math homework was done for four or five days in one afternoon, and the efficiency was quite amazing.What's even more astonishing is that he will take a photo and send it on WeChat after finishing the brushing.

"Who are you sending it to?" Ding Zimu asked.

"Zheng Ziyan, my classmate." Lin Tingan said without raising his head, "He is bad at math, give him a copy."

"Doesn't the winter vacation homework come with answers?"

"There is no process for the answer," Lin Tingan clicked his tongue, "Our teacher has to write the process for filling in the blanks."

"But I heard that the teacher didn't judge the homework during the holidays at all, and just collected it and sold it as scrap."

"Our teacher judged it, it's weird." Lin Tingan scratched his head irritably, "What kind of process does this difficulty take? It's a waste of my time."

Ding Zimu had a copy of "Golden Bough" in his hand, and he had read half of it, so he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip to continue reading.Lin Tingan glanced at it while flipping through the draft paper, and asked in surprise: "There is also a novel version of this TV series? You actually read this kind of Gongdou Wen?"

Ding Zimu was stunned for a moment: "What Gongdouwen?"

Lin Tingan pouted at the book: "Isn't it the novel version of "Golden Branch Desire"?"

Ding Zimu smiled, and turned over the preface: "The author, Fraser, is the foundational work of modern anthropology."

Lin Tingan opened his mouth wide: "What do you see it doing?"

"It's beautiful, it's written so vividly, it feels like a novel."

"Well, you are really elegant." Lin Tingan stretched out his thumb, "You guys are too high-end."

Ding Zimu shook his head: "It's just an interest, and... I want to know more about Teacher Yang. These are the books he usually reads. I can't understand the professional ones. I still understand these popular books."

Lin Tingan stopped the pen in his hand and asked quite seriously: "Is it necessary?"

Ding Zimu thought for a while: "I think sometimes it's good for two people to be together, with congenial tempers and dispositions, but wouldn't it be better if we could get to know each other better?"

Lin Ting'an thought about Du Xuan's hobbies: go, taekwondo, piano, calligraphy... He couldn't help shivering, it was too scary, he better pull it down, he didn't want to touch any of those things.

Lin Tingan lowered his head to do his homework, and Ding Zimu was also quietly reading. When Du Xuan opened the door and came in, he saw such a peaceful scene. For some reason, his heart suddenly became quiet, even the screaming outside the door The cold wind has also become gentle.

Lin Tingan raised his head: "You're out of class."

Du Xuan rubbed her hands and sat next to Lin Tingan: "I'm so cold."

Lin Tingan calmly grabbed Du Xuan's hand: "Aren't you wearing gloves? It's cold!"

Ding Zimu walked away quietly, and took out a mug to cook hot chocolate for Du Xuan.

"Have you finished?" Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan's homework, "You said, it would be nice to do your homework at home, so you have to come here and stay."

"I'm not used to it," Lin Ting'an muttered in a low voice, "You and I were always together during the winter and summer vacations before, and I felt very uncomfortable spending the vacation alone."

Du Xuan squinted her eyes and said, "Then you can't stay in other people's stores every day."

"I just came here in the afternoon." Lin Tingan argued unconvinced.He was still in school last week, and his life was filled with examination paper comments, summaries, safety education, and various activities. Lin Tingan didn't realize that Du Xuan had moved out for a while.As a result, on the first day of the holiday, it was already ten o'clock as soon as he opened his eyes, and he habitually took out his mobile phone to send Du Xuan a WeChat message. Halfway through writing, he suddenly remembered that Du Xuan should be in class, and then remembered that Du Xuan had moved out.He wandered around the house with nothing to do for an hour or so, restless and fidgety, and finally sent Du Xuan a WeChat message and came to Penumbra with his homework in hand.

Ding Zimu, who happened to come over with a hot chocolate, said: "I don't have any complaints. He is a living sign when he stays here. My business is fine."

Lin Tingan raised his head quite proudly.

Du Xuan couldn't help laughing, he just liked Lin Tingan's flamboyance.

"Is there a lot of homework today?" Lin Tingan said, "Why don't you do your homework here too, and we'll leave when I finish writing this article, which is just halfway done."

Du Xuan took out a stack of papers: "There are so many homework, I don't think I can finish it before twelve o'clock tonight."

The two spread out their homework and bowed their heads to write fiercely. Ding Zimu looked at them at the cashier with a little envy. The youth of ordinary people is so good. They are not like themselves, and they worry about whether they are crazy every day.

Du Xuan sighed in the middle of writing, grabbed a piece of draft paper from Lin Ting'an and began to list the formulas. After a few lines at the beginning, a short formula had already traversed the entire draft paper.Du Xuan patiently changed a piece of paper to recalculate, and changed another piece of paper in the middle of writing...

Lin Ting'an asked: "What are you doing?" He leaned over to take a look, and was amused: "How come your formula is the same as pulling ramen noodles, and the more you pull, the longer it gets."

Du Xuan said dejectedly: "Statistics, I'm so bad at it."

"Isn't statistics mathematics?" Lin Ting'an pulled the paper over to have a look, "You're a biology question."

"This part of genetics requires statistics. The ratio of dominant genes to recessive genes is 3:1, and then..." Du Xuan paused, "You are only a sophomore in high school, so forget about your homework." , I'll ask someone else."

After speaking, Du Xuan took out his mobile phone.

"Who are you asking?" Lin Tingan stopped him and asked.

"Li Tianyou, he's good at learning, he got all the questions right in class today."

Lin Tingan rolled his eyes: "Don't you just count, I'll count for you, tell me about the 3:1 first."

Du Xuan smiled and said, "Are you sure about it? I'll just ask a question."

"As for!" Lin Tingan said, "Let me tell you Du Xuan, he definitely has no good intentions for you. Think about it, your father's matter is not new. He won't tell you sooner or later. He has to tell you the day before the exam." .”

Du Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you mean?"

"Isn't that obvious? He wants to win you once, and it's useless to fight for strength. He can only use this method to attack your psychology, make you out of shape and fail the exam."

"But he didn't expect me to have a pulse." Du Xuan said with a smile

"Ah? What pulse?" Lin Ting'an, who was impassioned, was stunned.

"Out of state at the critical moment, pulsate, let you pulsate back."

"..."

Du Xuan glanced at Ding Zimu who was standing behind the cash register, and sniffed close to Lin Ting'an's neck: "Lime-flavored pulsation."

"I...day! Du Xuan, you...you..." Lin Tinganten, who was caught off guard by being teased, blushed and pointed at Du Xuan, tongue-tied.

Du Xuan sat upright and dragged the paper to Lin Tingan: "Come on, let me tell you about this 3:1."

Lin Tingan's whole body was crispy, his bone marrow was stained with honey, and his heart was warm.Suddenly, Lenglen faced a densely packed biology paper, and he could recognize all the individual characters on the paper and put them together, but he didn't understand it at all, and his heart sank.

Half pulling the fire and half pulling the ice, Lin Tingan really wanted to whip Du Xuan.

Du Xuan: "Listen? Aren't you going to help me solve the problem?"

Lin Tingan weighed it up, and felt that it would be more enjoyable to answer questions for the sage as a scumbag, and besides, he might not have a chance to get Du Xuan.

Lin Tingan snorted and looked at the paper. Genetics is quite complicated. Fortunately, Lin Tingan only helped Du Xuan calculate part of it. Du Xuan simply said that after giving him the conditions, he watched Lin Tingan push down step by step.

Lin Tingan really lived up to his legend of being "good at mathematics". It took him a long time to solve a very complicated question.

"How is it?" Lin Tingan looked at Du Xuan triumphantly.

Du Xuan cupped his fists: "Convinced, really." He looked down at the draft paper carefully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I can't understand your mad dog-like handwriting, please explain it to me. "

Lin Tingan's whole body floated up to the ceiling, and he felt that No. 2 in the market competition was not so cool.For a long time, Lin Tingan never thought that he could beat Du Xuan in fields other than sprinting. He accepted Du Xuan's "sage of learning" personality without any obstacles. He only felt admiration and pride, and wished to tell the world that he My boyfriend is such a bull, bull, bull, bull devil.Even if he is determined to work hard and wants to get closer to Du Xuan, it is only out of a man's competitive mentality. His most crazy idea of ​​himself is the phrase "whether Beiyi recruits a second doctor".

But at this moment, the statistical knowledge in a biology question brought "scum" and "sage" to the same level, and Lin Tingan felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. This sense of satisfaction is definitely not because he finally won Du Xuan Once, but I was finally able to help him.He would often ask Du Xuan "what can I do for you" and "how can I help you", and every time Du Xuan would say "Just stay with me".He doesn't want to be the person who can only accompany Du Xuan. He hopes to be the person who can "help" Du Xuan. When Du Xuan lets himself stand on the stage and fly, he can also lay a foundation for Du Xuan. .At this moment, he suddenly understood why Ding Zimu wanted to watch "The Golden Bough". The feeling of shortening the gap and being his companion and helper made him feel satisfied and proud.

This is completely different from standing on the podium to receive applause and flowers. He prefers the feeling of standing on the podium with Du Xuan.
