don't force me

Du Xuan smiled: "How can I guess? But the first prize is probably out of the question, and my answer sheet is not good."

Li Tianyou didn't answer, but reached out and touched the disposable plastic bowl of noodle tea in Du Xuan's hand, he frowned and said, "It's getting cold, don't eat it, go ahead and buy a bowl of hot pear soup later."

Li Tianyou's hand didn't touch Du Xuan, but Du Xuan subconsciously glanced at Lin Tingan. He was 100% sure that this kid was about to explode.

Du Xuan hurriedly said: "No need, I'm full."

"Drinking a bowl of pear soup doesn't take up space." Li Tianyou said, "Besides, it's a cold day to stand in the wind and eat for a long time, so it's good to drink something warm." After speaking, he took the lead and pushed forward .

What Li Tianyou said was reasonable, and Du Xuan once again didn't know how to refuse, so he had no choice but to smile at Lin Tingan, and then followed him to the stand selling pear soup.

This time, Lin Ting'an finally reacted quickly, paying attention to speed when courting a male god, so he said: "I'll go buy it" and squeezed into the crowd in a blink of an eye.Li Tianyou said "Hey" but didn't stop him, so he had no choice but to spread his hands: "He runs quite fast, he is indeed the ace of the track and field team."

Du Xuan didn't say a word, always feeling that the topic was about to turn to Lin Tingan, and the next question must be "why did you two go out to visit the temple fair today".Du Xuan thought, am I pretending to be stupid and only knowing that today is the sixth day of the lunar new year but not today's Valentine's Day, or I just came out with Li Tianyou to ease Lin Ting'an's heart

Li Tianyou looked at Du Xuan and said seriously: "Actually, your grades are quite good."

"Ah?" Du Xuan blinked, and the topic quickly changed back, he couldn't keep up with the progress.

"You are the fourth in the first prize, and I am the second in the second prize." Li Tianyou smiled, "This ranking is enough for second place."

"First prize?" Du Xuan's eyes widened in shock, pointing at the tip of his nose, "I am the first prize?"

"First prize," Li Tianyou looked at him with a smile, "I'm not kidding you, your practical and defense scores are scary, and your pen and papers are not bad."

"I..." Du Xuan took a deep breath, a mass of cold air mixed with the smell of fried food rushed into his nostrils, choking him to cough a few times.

"Did you do it?" Li Tianyou laughed loudly, "Didn't you get soft hands when you got awards since you were young? We always thought that your family used awards to clean the kitchen." As he said, he leaned over and patted Du Xuan on the back hard He is smooth.

When Lin Tingan came out of the crowd holding three cups of hot pear soup and grinning, what he saw was such a scene that made him almost furious: Du Xuan bent slightly and coughed, his face was reddish but his eyes were smiling, he saw Looking at Li Tianyou with a look of helplessness.Lin Tingan was very familiar with this expression, every time he made trouble with Du Xuan, Du Xuan would always look at him like this.This gaze fell on himself, feeling pampered and gentle, but once it fell on others, especially Li Tianyou... Lin Tingan narrowed his eyes fiercely.

And Li Tianyou was standing beside Du Xuan, very close to him, stroking his back with one hand, his posture almost wrapped Du Xuan in his arms.

Lin Tingan really wanted to throw all three cups of pear soup on Li Tianyou's face!He stood on the edge of the crowd, looking at the two people a few meters away, his eyes were full of violent wind, rain and hail.

Du Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, with tears still coughing up on his eyelashes, he smiled and said, "Your family just wipes the kitchen with certificates."

"Anyway, you won the first prize, so you can't treat me to a meal? After all, you are in the same team, at least you are a partner." Li Tianyou stretched out his hand and said, "Treat me."

"No problem, anytime." Du Xuan patted Li Tianyou's palm and said excitedly, "What do you want to eat?"

"Well...let's talk about it," Li Tianyou said, "I'm holding on now, I don't want to eat anything."

Du Xuan: "Then it's a deal."

Seeing the excitement of the two people talking, Lin Tingan finally couldn't bear it anymore, he strode over, and almost rudely stuffed a cup of pear soup into Li Tianyou's hand.Then put it on a paper towel, and gave Du Xuan another cup, lest the non-insulated plastic cup would scald the skin of his male god's palm.

Li Tianyou took a sip disapprovingly: "It's quite hot, drink it quickly, it will be sweet when it's cold, it's hard to drink."

Lin Tingan snorted coldly: "If you want to drink it, drink it. If it gets cold, throw it away. I'll buy you a hot cup."

Du Xuan wondered whether I should drink or not?

Li Tianyou bit the rim of the cup and looked at Lin Tingan with a smile. Lin Tingan stared back fiercely not to be outdone, and Li Tianyou smiled even more happily.

Lin Tingan felt the depression of being ridiculed like a child again. Under the extreme depression, he became angry, just like before, angry at himself for being one year younger than Du Xuan, angry at why everyone covets Du Xuan for being so good. , Why is it not good enough to be mad at yourself.Lin Tingan gradually lowered his face, showing no expression at all.

Du Xuan thought, it's broken, I'm really angry.

Du Xuan didn't care what Li Tianyou thought, put his arm on Lin Tingan's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Tingan didn't speak, but turned his eyes away.

"Xiao'an?" Du Xuan was in a hurry, this was wronged, obviously nothing happened, why did she always have the feeling of being raped?It's a good Valentine's Day. I want to come to the temple fair to eat, drink and drink, and just stroll around in this festive atmosphere. How happy I am!I had been looking forward to it for so long, but who would have imagined that I would bump into the most taboo person.

Du Xuan said, "Tired?"

Lin Tingan snorted.

Li Tianyou said very cleverly: "It's quite cold today, so let's go home quickly."

Du Xuan smiled gratefully at Li Tianyou, and pulled Lin Tingan along the steps to say goodbye to Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou: "Goodbye then, happy new year."

The two of them walked more than ten meters away, and Du Xuan said, "They are ordinary classmates, at most they are teammates during the competition, you are making too much of a fuss."

Lin Tingan: "That's because you are slow."

Du Xuan was helpless: "You are too embarrassing. Even if you don't like him, you can bear it anyway. Why do you show your face in front of him? He didn't say anything."

Lin Tingan stopped and said word by word: "I dare to bet you, he must have other ideas, bet?"

Du Xuan sighed: "I don't gamble. Hey, why are you acting like a child? This is too competitive."

Du Xuan said this purely out of emotion. He always remembered the kid who stayed up in the middle of the night because he was in high school.He likes Lin Tingan's simplicity and enthusiasm, and likes the poor boy standing on the podium. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he said.

However, Lin Tingan, who had endured for a long time, finally exploded.

He could endure Li Tianyou's teasing eyes that seemed half a smile, he could also endure Li Tianyou's ambiguous behavior towards Du Xuan, and he could also endure Li Tianyou dragging Du Xuan to talk about those high-tech things so as to exclude himself from the topic.He can bear all these, because he knows that in Du Xuan's heart, he is a special existence.

However, the current sentence "like a child" stabbed his sensitive nerve firmly, making him feel like he was being slapped in the face severely.Lin Tingan finally couldn't hold back the grievance that he had held back all afternoon.He wanted to question Du Xuan, and then rushed back to question Li Tianyou, but in the end he just stared at Du Xuan and said aggrievedly: "You are my boyfriend, I think someone misses you, but you say I am naive?"

Du Xuan finally knew that today was not going to be kind.He looked around, dragged Lin Tingan into a corner, grabbed Lin Tingan's shoulder and said, "But I only miss you. Lin Tingan, you have to believe me, no matter what Li Tianyou thinks, I only like you."

However, Lin Tingan was not coaxed by this sentence. He said: "I know you always think I am suspicious, but I still insist on my opinion. I think it is definitely not a coincidence that I met him today. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

Seeing that Lin Tingan was still angry, Du Xuan sighed, he had already started to hate Li Tianyou a little.

After the Spring Festival, both of them got busy. Du Xuan was going to the mathematics and physics training camp for a week, and Lin Tingan was going to train with the team.Regarding the terrible Valentine's Day and Li Tianyou who made Valentine's Day so terrible, the two of them tacitly did not mention each other, as if that thing did not exist at all.

Du Xuan would go to school to wait for Lin Tingan after class every day. He stood on the third floor of the junior high school building, leaning on the window sill to watch Lin Tingan jumping up and down on the playground, just like two years ago.After training, he would buy a cup of hot drink for Lin Tingan at the school gate, and sometimes the two of them would go to Penumbra to eat and write homework; sometimes Lin Tingan would send Du Xuan home, and then take the subway back by himself.

Sometimes Du Xuan suggested to go back with Lin Tingan, but Lin Tingan firmly refused: "How embarrassing would you be if you run into your father? Just forget it, and I will see you off."

Du Xuan rubbed Lin Tingan's head gratefully, and asked, "Do you often see my dad?"

Lin Tingan shook his head: "I'm talking about just in case. In fact, I've never seen him since you moved away. No one lives in your house."

Du Xuan sneered: "He may have a new house to live in."

Lin Tingan quietly held Du Xuan's hand.

Before school started, Li Tianyou called Du Xuan and asked if he wanted to play basketball together, and he booked a place in the district basketball hall.

Du Xuan was so frightened that he came up with three reasons to reject him.

Li Tianyou said with a smile: "It's too much effort to make an appointment with you, can you open an appointment line? I'll make an appointment in advance."

Du Xuan: "You can date someone else."

Li Tianyou lowered his voice slightly: "I don't have many friends."

These words sounded very sad, but Du Xuan refused and said, "I really haven't finished my homework."

Li Tianyou: "It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future, I will ask you out again next time I play."

Du Xuan hung up the phone and finally got something else from Li Tianyou's words.
