On the third day after the high school midterm exam, the results came out. Yao Lu ranked 6th in the class, while Lin Shen was miserable, 39th in the class, and 8th from behind.

"Oh! It's over!" Lin Shen sighed and said, "I will be criticized and educated by my dad again when I go home."

"Your father will beat you?" Yao Lu asked.

"That's not true. I haven't played since I graduated from elementary school." Lin Shen said, "When I say critical education, I mean it literally."

"It's fine if I don't hit you." Yao Lu said with a smile.

Lin Shen said helplessly, "I'd rather have him beat me up than listen to him chant sutras."

Yao Lu said: "You are so afraid of your father, next time you will do better in the exam."

When Lin Shen heard this, he tentatively asked Yao Lu to help him learn. Yao Lu readily agreed, and then made many requests to Lin Shen, such as not being allowed to sleep in class, and he had to do the questions with himself in the self-study class.

"No problem!" Lin Shen agreed.

Yao Lu thought for a while, and then said, "Stop reading comics at noon, and do the quizzes."

Lin Shen was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately asked, "Don't you have to take a nap at noon? You are already asleep, so who can I ask if I can't do the questions?"

Yao Lu replied: "I won't sleep anymore, I'll read comics."

Lin Shen: "..."

So from this day on, they will do the homework together in the self-study class, and Yao Lu will explain the exercises to Lin Shen during the lunch break. If Lin Shen falls asleep in class, Yao Lu will wake him up immediately. Hit the application, can only take a nap.

So when it came to the final exam, on the last day, the two met for lunch in the cafeteria.

"I can't do the last math problem, it's too difficult." Lin Shen complained.

"The last question is a bit difficult." Yao Lu said, "I'm not sure, I don't know if I did it right."

Hearing this, Lin Shen immediately regained his composure, and said proudly, "I think the others are okay, basically I have ideas."

Yao Lu nodded and asked, "Teacher Mei said that the results will be released on the 11th. Will you come to the school to see?"

Lin Shen thought for a while and said, "I won't come."

Yao Lu didn't say anything more. After eating, the two returned to the teaching building and went to their respective examination rooms. In the evening, with the end of the last chemistry exam, the long-awaited summer vacation finally came.

After the results of the final exam came out, Mei Yanjun called Lin's father to report. Lin Shen had made great progress. He was ranked 29th in the class, and his grade was at the middle level. Son, to prevent him from cocking his tail complacently, and causing trouble for himself again.

Lin Shen knew his father's temper very well. After a few rounds, he finally got his approval. He could go out freely during the summer vacation and hang out with his good buddies from No. [-] Middle School. Before, his father had been criticizing his brothers all the time. This time he finally let go. mouth.

On July 7th, three days before Lin Shen’s birthday, at 19 o’clock in the evening, he and a group of buddies came out of the billiard hall, talking and laughing, chatting while walking, suddenly saw a familiar figure riding in front of him. The car passed by.

"Yao Lu!" Lin Shen shouted loudly, startling everyone else.

The rider stopped, stepped on the ground, and looked back. It was Yao Lu. Lin Shen ran up a few steps, held his handlebars, and said with a smile, "Wow! I'm at the same table! I really want to is you!"

"Lin Shen? Why are you here?" Yao Lu asked in surprise.

Lin Shen pointed to his buddies not far away, and said, "I'm going out to play with my former classmates."

Yao Lu glanced over there, and Lin Shen secretly observed his expression. Seeing his puzzled expression, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come here? Your family doesn't seem to be here, does it?"

"I'm here to make up lessons." Yao Lu replied.

"So hard?" Lin Shen said with a smile, "Have you entered the college entrance examination mode now?"

Yao Lu was a little embarrassed, and explained: "My mother gave me the report, I didn't ask for it myself."

Lin Shen then rubbed his head sympathetically.

Yao Lu suddenly remembered that he was going to copy the results on the 11th, so he copied Lin Shen's results along the way, and then excitedly told him that he did very well in the exam and made great progress. The top 10 in the grade should be happy, Lin Shen felt infinite warmth in his heart.

"Thank you, tablemate!" Lin Shen said, "If you hadn't taken me with you before, I wouldn't have made such great progress."

"You're welcome." Yao Lu said with a blushing face.

For a moment, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, and both of them fell silent.

After a while, Lin Shen asked, "Did you do your summer homework?"

"A part of it has been done." Yao Lu said, "Chemistry and English have been done well, but the rest has not been finished yet."

"Great, I'm doing chemistry." Lin Shen said, "I don't know how to do it in many places, so lend me your chemistry homework for reference."

"You don't mean to copy directly, do you?" Yao Lu asked.

"How come!" Lin Shen couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "I just want to see your problem-solving ideas."

Yao Lu nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't bring it with me at home. I have to go home and get it for you."

Lin Shen asked to follow him home to get his homework, Yao Lu readily agreed, Lin Shen explained to his buddies again, and the evening dinner was also postponed.

His best brother, Xu Ze, was immediately dissatisfied and complained: "It's agreed, but we won't go! Who is that boy? After talking for a while, you ran away with him."

"My deskmate is Yao Lu." Lin Shen said, "He's a very nice person, and he's good at studying. I'm hanging out with him now."

"Are you a good student?" Xu Ze mocked, "Now you start playing with good students?"

Lin Shen smiled and slapped him, and a group of people laughed and joked for a long time, without any seriousness. At the end, Lin Shen said: "I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm leaving, I have been waiting at the same table for a long time."

"What's the appointment with you at the same table? In such a hurry?" Xu Ze asked.

Lin Shen replied, "Borrow homework."

Xu Ze: "..."

Under the twitching eyes of everyone, Lin Shen turned around gracefully, then waved his hands, and returned to Yao Lu. Yao Lu wanted to take Lin Shen by bike, but Lin Shen vetoed it, so Yao Lu had to give him the car. .

Lin Shen stretched his legs, stepped on the ground with his left foot, turned his head and said to him, "Sit up."

"It's not easy for you to start like this, is it?" Yao Lu said, "You can ride up first, and I will jump up after you."

"Can't you trust my strength?" Lin Shen asked.

Yao Lu had to sit in the back. Lin Shen kicked hard with his left foot, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and the bicycle jumped out briskly. Yao Lu shook and grabbed Lin Shen's clothes in a hurry. And support the rear seat frame.

"Grab my waist, or I won't be able to sit still." Lin Shen ordered.

Yao Lu put his hands on the frame of the bike without saying a word, so Lin Shen smiled and said, "Why do you look like a girl like a big boy, hurry up and help yourself!"

After Yao Lu hesitated for a while, he grabbed Lin Shen's clothes. Lin Shen took him and rode quickly to the Tuanjie Community. When he arrived at the downstairs of Yao Lu's house, Yao Lu locked the car, and Lin Shen stood aside and waited.

"Are you coming up?" Yao Lu asked.

"Is it convenient?" Lin Shen said.

Yao Lu replied: "It's convenient, there is no one at home."

This was the first time in Lin Shen's life that he came to Yao Lu's house.

The two entered Yao Lu's room, and Lin Shen looked around. Yao Lu found out the chemistry homework and handed it to him.

"You are all learning materials?" Lin Shen asked in surprise when he saw the rows of exercise books on the bookshelf.

"All the extracurricular books were taken away by my mother, who said she could only read them after the college entrance examination." Yao Lu explained.

Lin Shen groaned, didn't say anything, then lay down on the window sill and looked down.

"It's been a long time since I looked down from such a short place, it feels good!" Lin Shen said.

Yao Lu was at a loss when he heard this, so he leaned over to Lin Shen and lay down with him to look down.

Lin Shen turned his head and saw Yao Lu's confused face, so he explained: "My house lives on the 19th floor. Looking down from the window of my room, people and cars are a little bit bigger."

"The 19th floor?!" Yao Lu was shocked, and then asked again: "You live on the 19th floor?"

The 19th floor is the alias of Lin Shenjia Community. The real name of the community is Urban Huating. It is one of the few commercial houses in the city. The location is prosperous and the internal environment is beautiful. There are only leaders and businessmen living in the community. There are only five buildings in the community. Each building has 19 floors and is equipped with an elevator. So far, it is the tallest building in the city.

Lin Shen didn't expect Yao Lu's reaction to be so strong, so he just hummed, and in response, Yao Lu hummed and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Yao Lu suddenly asked, "Do you take the elevator every day when you go home?"

Lin Shen was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Sure, otherwise, if you climb 19 floors every day, you won't be exhausted?"

After a short silence, Yao Lu asked again: "Is it fun to take the elevator?"

Lin Shen: "..."

"Have you ever taken an elevator?" Lin Shen asked.

"The one who sat on the handrail." Yao Lu replied, "When I went to the department store with my mother."

Lin Shen nodded and continued to look out the window.

5 minutes passed.

"Do you have to make up lessons every day?" Lin Shen asked suddenly.

Yao Lu replied truthfully: "There are no classes on weekends, and there is a day off every Tuesday."

Lin Shen: "Isn't that tomorrow?"

Yao Lu hummed.

"Tomorrow morning..." Lin Shen looked at Yao Lu and said seriously, "Come to my house to play?"

After a long time, under Lin Shen's persistent pleading, Yao Lu finally accepted his invitation and went to his house as a guest the next day.

It was Yao Lu's first visit to Lin Shen's house, and many things happened that day, all of which were insignificant, but sweet and beautiful. From that day on, they gradually felt the attraction between each other.

On that day, the flower of love bloomed quietly.
