don't force me

Speaking of it, waiting for you for half a year or a year is always a very distant thing, but once the days pass, people are caught off guard.Lin Ting'an hastily dealt with the monthly exams, and as expected, he slipped more than [-] places in the whole grade.Du Xuan wanted to comfort him, but he was very open-minded: "I haven't read a book all winter vacation, and this grade is normal. Don't worry, I will pass the midterm exam."

However, before the senior high school entrance examination was due, and he hadn't had time to deeply experience the happiness of not taking the history and land administration exam, Lao Hu started packing his luggage and preparing to set off as soon as he gave the order. The three-day league officially kicked off.

The team set off on Tuesday afternoon, and the high-speed train took four hours, so Du Xuan completely lost the opportunity to visit the class quietly.Lin Tingan was always in a state of inexplicable panic. He didn't care whether it would affect Du Xuan's review, and he held his mobile phone and said endlessly: "Are you nervous? Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."

Du Xuan said with a smile: "It's not that I'm going to run a race, why am I nervous."

"But you have to take a photo on Thursday, a photo!"

"Well, it's a model," Du Xuan said, "it's a model."

Lin Tingan...

In fact, Lin Tingan didn't know why, he was just as nervous as Du Xuan, even more nervous than the previous city entrance exam.He had a feeling that Du Xuan's appearance would be more terrifying than the college entrance examination.

Du Xuan smiled and said, "If you care about it, you will be in chaos. It's just an exam. It's just a test every day. It's so evil."

"The city's ranking."

"Let's just line up, you won't be ranked beyond two hundred."

"Two hundred people?" Lin Tingan was anxious, "Can two hundred people be admitted to Beijing Medical University?"

Du Xuan rolled her eyes: "Can I guarantee that I won't make the first one hundred trips?"

Lin Tingan panicked: "Be careful, don't fill in the English reading card."

"know."

"If you encounter a problem in mathematics that you don't know, don't be stubborn, skip it first, and do it at the end."

"Ok."

"Be more serious about composition review, especially..."

Du Xuan couldn't help interrupting him: "Xiao An, don't you know what my grades are?"

Lin Tingan let out a long breath: "I know I know, but I'm just nervous."

"Run with confidence, I promise you won't be out of the top [-] in the city." Du Xuan said confidently, and then asked, "How are you preparing? This time, you will run three events."

Lin Tingan was probably affected by the nervousness, and he stopped being ostentatious, but said cautiously: "I try my best to run well. I have never participated in a race of this scale, and I don't practice much in the 4X400-meter relay. However, I think the old Hu reported this project just to take advantage of the latrines, but I don’t have much confidence in it.”

Du Xuan: "Why occupy the latrine, can't you use a more elegant word?"

Lin Tingan: "...I can't think of it."

Du Xuan said helplessly: "Okay, then you can occupy that latrine well. 200 meters and 400 meters should not be a big problem, right?"

"It's no problem to enter the finals. The top five can be done one at a time, and the top three need to accumulate character... My mother went to Hongluo Temple again. She said that the senior high school entrance examination was successful once, and this time it can also be done."

Du Xuan said, "Then when you take the college entrance examination, where will Auntie go to burn incense?"

Lin Ting'an gave a short smile: "Du Xuan."

"Ok?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"Well, tomorrow at noon I'll make some fried food for you, and it's considered a feast for you. I asked for the student union's door key, and we'll have it in the student union office."

"Then...can you stop calling me Sun Rui?"

"Sun Rui? Who is Sun Rui?"

Lin Tingan hung up the phone in satisfaction, touched his chest, and jumped a little fast.

At [-]:[-] p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, a minibus stopped at the entrance of the No. [-] Middle School. The track and field team wore beautiful uniforms and dragged suitcases and stood in a neat line at the entrance to accept the "inspection" by the school leaders.

Du Xuan stood at the entrance of the high school building, looking at Lin Tingan from a distance, he thought, he should go to the commissary to buy two breads for Lin Tingan to take with him, he basically didn't eat lunch, he must be hungry on the way.At noon, the two of them lost their appetite in front of the two boxes of Xiaochao in the small office. Lin Tingan was always nervous, which had never happened before.Du Xuan patiently listened to him rambling on for more than ten minutes, without any logic or focus, and finally couldn't help but push the lunch box aside, held him down and kissed him hard.

Du Xuan still remembered that when he left Lin Tingan's lips, Lin Tingan clutched his collar tightly, his knuckles turned white.

Finally, the headmaster waved his hand and ended his speech, and the track and field team all boarded the car.Lin Tingan was the last to get on the car, and before entering the car, he turned his head and waved to Du Xuan.Du Xuan put his palms to his lips and shouted loudly, "Come on!"

The students passing by were startled by the sound. They all looked at the track and field team and shouted "come on" in twos and threes.Soon, the sound of cheering resounded throughout the playground, and the principal nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the school spirit of the No. [-] Middle School is really "unity and hard work".

When Du Xuan returned to the classroom, Sun Rui shook his head and said, "Tsk, you look like a concubine."

Du Xuan slapped Sun Rui on the back of the head: "How do you talk?"

Sun Rui closed the biology book irritably: "I don't even want to read it, I feel like I'm about to vomit, and I spray base pairs out as soon as I open my mouth."

Du Xuan: "It's April, there are still two months left, so bear with it."

Sun Rui turned his head to look at the countdown written on the blackboard at the back, and felt that this semester was endless.

After school, Du Xuan looked at his phone, but Lin Tingan didn't send a single word.The two of them had already made an appointment at noon, and they would not contact each other until the end of the competition and exam to avoid distraction.Sun Rui stretched his head over to look at the screen, and snorted: "You use Lin Ting'an as the desktop, won't Auntie kill you if she sees it?"

Du Xuan calmly locked the phone. The lock screen pattern was the plane made by Lin Tingan. Du Xuan said, "She can't open my phone."

Sun Rui: "When are you two going to come out?"

Du Xuan shook her head: "I don't know. But I have to hide it from Lin Ting'an's college entrance examination anyway."

Sun Rui patted Du Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Inappropriate."

Sun Rui: "Okay, since you asked me to say it, I'll just say it straight."

Du Xuan glanced at him and smiled helplessly.

Sun Rui: "The two of you are fine now, but who knows what will happen in the future? I suggest you, if you can stay out of the closet, you can keep it a day, so that if something happens in the future, both parties will get out It’s easy to regress. Lin Ting’an won’t say anything, I think his parents will forgive him as long as he doesn’t kill, set fire, smuggle and sell drugs, but you are different.”

Du Xuan was silent for a while: "Did you know that during the Spring Festival, Lin Ting'an introduced me to his family members, dozens of them, although it was in the name of paying New Year's greetings to his parents."

Sun Rui: "I... Fuck!"

Du Xuan said: "Then on the afternoon of the first day of junior high school, when he introduced me to his buddies, he said that I was his boyfriend, the kind of boyfriend who would have a lifetime."

Sun Rui slowly opened his mouth wide.

Du Xuan said, "Look, he never gave himself a chance to retreat."

Sun Rui nodded: "It's ruthless."

The two walked out of the school gate in silence. The weather had already warmed up. It was past eight o'clock, and the streets were still full of people.Standing by the side of the road, Du Xuan suddenly thought: Lin Ting'an has already finished, has he adapted to the venue, is he very tired, how is the dinner, does he think about himself like he does.

Du Xuan stood on the side of the road in a daze, the car passed by quickly, and he didn't hear what Sun Rui was babbling beside him.At this time, someone shouted from behind: "Du Xuan."

Du Xuan turned to see Li Tianyou, and nodded his head as a greeting.

"Why are you standing on the side of the road in a daze?" Li Tianyou asked.

Sun Rui shrugged and smiled strangely.

Du Xuan: "It's okay, it's just...a little tired."

"Then take my car back." Li Tianyou pointed to the car on the side of the road, "Soon, I just take Sun Rui back first, and then take you back, so that you don't have to squeeze the subway."

Du Xuan waved his hand: "Thank you, no need."

Li Tianyou chuckled: "It's not possible, I thought I had already turned over this article."

Du Xuan: "That's not what I mean, I just want to go for a stroll, so I won't bother you."

Li Tianyou was not reluctant, and after telling someone, he opened his car door and got in.

Sun Rui: "Lin Ting'an won't be jealous of this rich second generation?"

"Eat." Du Xuan said, "So I want to avoid suspicion, let's go for a walk with me."

Just as the two of them were about to take a step, Du Xuan's gaze caught a familiar figure.

"Hey," Sun Rui touched him, "Isn't that your father?"

Du Xuan nodded stiffly: "You go first."

Sun Rui: "Then... well. Don't quarrel with him."

Du Xuan: "What's the fuss about?"

Du Jiancheng walked over quickly with a smile on his face, held Du Xuan's shoulder affectionately and said, "Xiao Xuan, Dad misses you so much."

Du Xuan: "It's not even the end of the month yet, why do you have time to come here?"

Du Jiancheng: "Look at what you said, I won't be able to visit my son until the end of the month? Dad misses you."

Du Xuan smiled and said nothing.

Du Jiancheng pulled his son: "Go, Dad will take you to dinner."

"I have already eaten."

"The food in the cafeteria is not enough, let's go eat some more."

"I'm not going." Du Xuan shook her head, "I'll look like the day after tomorrow, and I want to go back and read a book."

"Ah, it's all the same!" Du Jiancheng exclaimed, "Then go home quickly, read a book, go to bed early, and refresh yourself. Let's go back in Dad's car."

Du Jiancheng pulled Du Xuan across the road, and Du Xuan frowned at a black Mercedes-Benz: "Did you change the car?"

"Ah, it's changed." Du Chengcheng said happily, "Isn't this car nice?"

Du Xuan couldn't help but sneered: "My mother used to talk about changing cars every day, but you always said it's not good to be too flamboyant. This car... the color is quite low-key."

Du Chengcheng smiled awkwardly: "That...that car is really old."

Du Xuan turned his head and looked out of the car window. The car was filled with a faint smell of perfume. There were delicate dolls on the front of the car, and a pair of ladies' sunglasses were clipped on the frame on the reflector. A tube of lipstick came out from under the driver's wool seat.

Du Xuan threw the lipstick that hurt him in the storage box, and a soft "clang" made Du Jiancheng cough uncomfortably.

The car drove out smoothly, and there was silence in the compartment.After a while, Du Jiancheng cleared his throat and said, "Xiaoxuan, are you tired from studying recently?"

"Tired." Du Xuan said simply.

"Just tell Dad if you need anything. Dad promised you that your request will be met."

"It's nothing." Du Xuan turned his gaze back from the car window, looked at the pair of lady's sunglasses, which seemed to be expensive, and frowned in disgust.

Du Jiancheng said: "Well... I haven't seen Xiao An for a long time, how is Xiao An?"

In an instant, every nerve in Du Xuan's body tensed up. He took a breath slowly, carefully selected his words, and said as calmly as possible: "It's good. He went to another place to participate in the competition in the afternoon. Why did you remember to ask him?"

"Ah, it's okay, didn't you suddenly remember this?" Du Jiancheng quickly turned his head and glanced at his son, "I heard your Uncle Lin say in the office a few days ago that Xiaoan has made great progress in his studies recently, all because of You are encouraging him."

Du Xuan's nerves tightened even more, and the scene two years ago resurfaced in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously grabbed the car door handle.

Du Jiancheng didn't wait for Du Xuan's response, probably because he was used to Du Xuan's attitude. He said to himself, "Is your relationship with Xiao An still as good as before? It's good, and you two are considered children." Let's help each other in the future."

Du Xuan let out a "hmm", trying to figure out his father's intentions.

Du Jiancheng said: "Who is that... that boy who greeted you just now? Are you friends?"

"Which one?" Du Xuan was a little taken aback.

"It's the one who just said a few words to you and then got into a black car."

Du Xuan said calmly, "I can't name you, a classmate from the Student Union."

"Not familiar?"

"Unfamiliar."

Du Chengcheng asked unwillingly: "I see he talked to you for a while."

"Well, there was a misunderstanding. He came to me to ask."

"Oh..." Du Jiancheng snorted suspiciously and drove silently.

Du Xuan asked, "Why did you remember to ask him?"

Du Jiancheng turned the steering wheel: "It's nothing, his car looks familiar."

Du Xuan turned his eyes to look at the street scene passing by outside the window, thinking that this world is too ridiculous, do you think people pass by cars?If my father heard what Li Tianyou said back then, how exciting this scene would be!

Three days later, Du Xuan walked out of the examination room and saw Du Jiancheng at the school gate. Sun Rui quickly asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Du Xuan shook his head.

Du Jiancheng still smiled: "Xiaoxuan, do you have time to have a meal with dad today? It's only 05:30."

Du Xuan opened the car door and sat in. At a glance, she saw that the lipstick and sunglasses were gone, and the car was filled with the smell of fresh air freshener.

Du Jiancheng directly took Du Xuan to the seafood buffet restaurant of a five-star hotel. The elegant environment, soothing music, and the surroundings were full of clothes and temples. Everything was out of place with Du Xuan's school uniform and schoolbag.

Du Jiancheng graciously persuaded Du Xuan to eat more, the topic always lingered in the school, from Lin Ting'an to the student union.Du Xuan put down her chopsticks and asked, "Dad, why don't you ask Mom how?"

Du Jiancheng said: "Oh, what can I do, she will never forgive me in this life. However, you are my son, and I will definitely not give up on you. I told you to follow me at the beginning, but you have to follow your mother. , Xiaoxuan, you have grown up now, you have passed eighteen, and you are legally independent, you should come and live with your father."

Du Xuan shook her head: "I'll accompany my mother."

"Daddy needs you too."

Du Xuan raised his eyelids to look at him, chuckled and said nothing, Du Jiancheng frowned and lowered his head to pick the sashimi on the plate.

Du Xuan looked at his watch and asked, "Father, is there anything else you need? If not, I'll go home. I'm too tired from the exams these two days. I want to go home and go to bed early."

"Oh, by the way, go back to sleep." Du Jiancheng grabbed the napkin to wipe his hands, and walked back to the parking lot with Duan Xuan.He opened the trunk of the car, took out a flat box with an Apple logo printed on it, and stuffed it into Du Xuan's arms: "Xiao Xuan, Dad gave you a gift, which you will need sooner or later."

Du Jiancheng started the car, and when the car drove out of the garage, he asked casually, "By the way, Xiaoxuan, do you know a classmate named Li Tianyou in your grade?"

Du Xuan said, "I don't know, who is it?"

"Why don't you know him?" Du Jiancheng said, "He should be quite famous in your grade."

Du Xuan said: "The most famous person in our grade is me."

Du Jiancheng: "The last time I came to see you, didn't a student talk to you, and you said you didn't know him."

"I don't know him."

"He should be Li Tianyou." Du Jiancheng glanced sideways at Du Xuan, and said hopefully, "Do you know now?"

Du Xuan nodded: "He - then I know, we just finished a fight."

Du Jiancheng stepped on the brake, and Du Xuan leaned forward.

"You...fighted with him?" Du Chengcheng asked in surprise, "When did it happen? Was it hard?"

Du Xuan shrugged, "Just the day before yesterday. It's not too powerful, but many people have seen it, and he just feels quite ashamed."

"Why are you...fighting with someone?" Du Chengcheng said dissatisfiedly, "Go and apologize to someone next week."

Du Xuan said: "Who is right and who is wrong and you asked me to apologize without asking?"

Du Chengcheng opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Du Xuan said calmly: "Besides, it's useless to apologize for such a shameful thing, hitting in front of half the grade."

Du Chengcheng took a deep look at his son.

Du Xuan added: "I'm graduating soon anyway, if you fall out, just fall out, it's okay."

Du Chengcheng finally couldn't help sighing.

After returning home, Du Xuan called Li Tianyou, Li Tianyou couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "You are too wicked."

Du Xuan: "In short, the enmity between us cannot be solved, understand."

Li Tianyou said: "Aren't you afraid that it will backfire, and instead gave your father an excuse?"

"No, he's not that stupid."

Li Tianyou understood what Du Xuan meant.That's right, if Li Tianyou's illegitimate son's identity is placed there, Du Jiancheng can only pretend that he doesn't know such a person exists, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

Du Xuan said: "As long as he doesn't bother me, if he comes to me again, I can only beat you up in front of him and your father."

"It's so wicked." Li Tianyou clicked his tongue, "How could I know someone like you!"

According to the schedule, the game ended on Saturday afternoon, and the track and field team came back by bullet train on Sunday.But Du Xuan didn't hear from Lin Ting'an until Sunday night, and the WeChat messages he sent in the past also fell into nothing.Du Xuan's heart sank, probably because her grades were not satisfactory.

How bad can it be?It's not like you didn't make it to the finals, right?

Du Xuan thought of Lin Tingan's bewildered look before the game, and felt a pain in his heart.This kid has had a smooth journey since joining the track and field team. This time, participating in such a large-scale competition, he will inevitably encounter a strong enemy, and he must be hit hard.Du Xuan flicked at Lin Tingan's photo on her phone, and made up her mind to comfort him when she saw him at school tomorrow.

Early on Monday morning, when Du Xuan went out, she was still thinking about what to say when she saw Lin Tingan, but just as she walked to the gate of the community, she caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards her.

"I...fuck!" Du Xuan subconsciously opened her arms and hugged her.

Lin Tingan retracted his arms, hugged him vigorously, and then let go quickly. The whole movement was as fast as a gust of wind, and in the eyes of others, it was a long-lost reunion hug.

"Why do you..." Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan's smiling face like a morning glory, "Have you got the sign?"

Lin Tingan took out something from his bulging trouser pocket and stuffed it into Du Xuan's hand, he laughed and said, "Hey, I'm suffocating, I'm suffocating, I've been suffocating for three days just to surprise you, and I'll be suffocating again." It exploded."

Du Xuan lowered her head and glanced: "Fuck, you're good enough, you got it all together! Is there a brand for the connection strength?"

Lin Tingan said proudly: "I was originally ranked fourth, but No. 2 fouled, so we moved up the ranking."

Du Xuan couldn't believe it: "All three events have won the brand? This is a league, and schools in several cities, you are so good!"

"Look, look, don't you underestimate me, I'm just such a cow, a cow, a cow!" Lin Tingan almost sang.

Du Xuan grabbed his shoulders: "Have you had breakfast? I'll treat you to beef noodles, my bull devil!"

Lin Tingan shook his body and stammered, "What... what did you say?"

"I invite you to eat beef noodles."

"The last sentence."

Du Xuan lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Mine, the Bull Demon King."
