Before he came back to his senses, he felt that the ball was easily held by Fang Yuan as soon as he let go of his hand.

Fang Yuan picked up the ball and spun it casually, and the basketball spun quickly on his index finger.

He smiled and said, "If I win, you all go and help uncle call Teacher Lin down."

The noisy sound from the basketball court kept coming, and it was especially clear and loud in the empty office.After Lin Ze had finished grading the marks on the last test paper, he remembered to go to the corridor to take a look at the playground.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there is plenty of light, shining on the plastic ground of the stadium, it is so bright and reflective.

From a distance, a tall man in a white shirt could be seen playing basketball with a group of children.Calling it playing basketball is more like playing nonsense.

Several children, who were not as tall as the man's chest, hugged his waist, trying to reach the ball in his hand.

The man threw it casually, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and scored a three-pointer.

Lin Ze was taken aback, and the children's loud voices came from the basketball court.

"teacher LIN!"

"teacher LIN!"

"Someone looking for you!"

The man holds the ball and stands among the children looking at him.

Although it was far away, Lin Ze knew that Fang Yuan was smiling at him.

He came to Xu Li's house for dinner.This time the dinner was scheduled early, and he came to the school to pick him up, but Lin Ze had no words to refuse.

As soon as the car left the school, it hit the evening rush hour. Lin Ze sat in the co-pilot and looked out the window silently.He felt that there was nothing to say, and everything he wanted to say had already been said on the phone.

Fang Yuan was in the same state as usual, but halfway through the car, he asked abruptly: "Xu Li said that you and Zhong Juan are high school alumni?"

Zhong Juan is Xu Li's target, and she hastily pulled out her certificate at the beginning of the year, and is waiting for the wine next month.

Lin Ze let out a "huh", and his eyes stopped on the traffic light outside the window: "She is a year younger than me, and she has never met her face to face."

The conversation on the long drive was just a few words. Fang Yuan didn't talk about the wine or the floor.

For Fang Yuan and Lin Ze's arrival, Zhong Juan seemed very enthusiastic.She prepared a table of dishes in advance, and the dishes, large and small, were so piled up that the table could barely fit.

The last dish was seaweed soup, Zhong Juan brought it all the way from the kitchen, and greeted them repeatedly: "Don't wait, eat it while it's hot."

Xu Li hurriedly got up to pick it up: "I'll come, I'll come."

He sat down and chatted while eating, and when he chatted, he talked about Lin Ze.

"By the way, if Zhong Juan hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known you two were schoolmates before." Xu Li picked up a chopstick of shredded pork with garlic moss and put it in his mouth, "Look at what a coincidence this happened."

Lin Ze lacked interest, and echoed: "It's a coincidence."

Zhong Juan smiled as he moved the vegetables: "When we were studying, our teacher kept talking every day, saying that when Lin Ze would come out of us, he would be very happy."

Halfway through the conversation, Lin Ze's cell phone rang.He glanced at the screen, got up and went to the balcony to pick it up.Zhong Juan yelled, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to mix salt in the cold dish, and went to the kitchen with the plate.

Xu Li tapped his bowl with chopsticks, clicked his tongue at Fang Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you say anything, just focus on eating."

Fang Yuan glanced at him and smiled: "What do you say, this dish is delicious."

Xu Li hated him for being too weak to be steel: "You can do it yourself."

"Xu Li, I can't reach this salt jar, come here." Zhong Juan called him from the other end.

Xu Li put down his chopsticks and went into the kitchen. Zhong Juan was mixing cold dishes, and the salt jar was at hand.

"What's wrong?" He was a little puzzled.

"Don't talk about Lin Ze's past for a while," Zhong Juan suppressed the smile just now, and motioned him to close the kitchen door, "to avoid embarrassment."

"What's so embarrassing," Xu Li was very puzzled, "He is the number one scholar in science in our province, as much as he wants."

Zhong Juan looked at him, sighed and said, "At that time, there was a lot of trouble, and everyone in half the city knew about it. On the night when the application deadline was due, Lin Ze was kicked out by his father."

6.

Zhong Juan only knew half of this matter.

Lin Ze was the top student in the school at that time.In the three preliminary examinations before the college entrance examination, he was in the top three in the city every time.The leader above specially told the head teacher several times, saying that this is a good seedling with hope.

Later, when the scores of the college entrance examination came out, Lin Ze really lived up to expectations and got a high score.Lin Ze didn't feel anything when the top scorer in science hit his head, but the people around him were overjoyed.

"At that time, many teachers felt that he could go to Tsinghua University."

Zhong Juan picked up the rag beside him and wiped his hands: "The head of the school ran to do his job and told him that he must fill in Tsinghua University if he volunteered. At first, everything was settled, but he didn't expect that when the deadline came, he ran to change it himself. Volunteer, make his father angry."

Xu Li was dizzy when he heard that, and said, "This is a volunteer. People want to fill in where they want to fill in. What kind of coaxing does the school follow?"

"You're stupid, you," Zhong Juan wished he could poke his forehead with his hand, "It's only a few years since Tsinghua University and Peking University came out of a school in a small place, it's not like a living sign."

"Then what happened?"

"What can we do?" Zhong Juan tidied up and prepared to serve food to go out. "The school is not very happy about the incident. His father probably felt that he lost face, so he beat him up and kicked him out."

On the day when the results of the college entrance examination were announced, the happiest person was Lin Ze's father.Many people congratulated him, Lin Ze's father was always happy, and the wrinkles on his face never smoothed over.

Many people say that he can educate children and teach a Tsinghua student.Lin Ze's father just laughed: "It's not yet planned, it's not planned."

The other party also laughed: "What's wrong, I can definitely go to Tsinghua University."

Lin Ze stood numbly and watched them laugh.

"Hey, did you listen to me?" the voice on the phone shouted anxiously.

It took only half a minute to talk on the phone, and Lin Ze had been in a daze for many times.

He tightened his fingers while holding the phone, and replied, "I'm listening."

"It's not like you don't know about your dad's donkey temper," Lin Ze's mother breathed out, and persuaded her earnestly, "He's your father, so he has the nerve to lower his face and apologize to you."

She said these words over and over many times, but Lin Ze remained indifferent.

"He was stunned at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have hit so hard."

When he didn't answer, his mother continued to babble.

"Besides, you are wrong about that, if you discuss it with us in advance..."

"Mom," Lin Ze interrupted her long speech, "I still have something to do here."

His mother choked up for a moment, and had no choice but to conclude in a nonchalant manner: "Your grandfather's [-]th birthday this week, take advantage of this opportunity to come back, and the two of you sit down and have a good talk. He is your father, so what's wrong with you. "

Lin Ze looked at Xu Li and the others planted bougainvilleas on the balcony.The lush stems and leaves climb up the support frame, blooming very brightly.

His mother felt helpless: "How long has it been, why do you still have that bit of grudge against your father?"

Lin Ze didn't want to hear it anymore.

"I see, I'll come back when I'm free."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze stood on the balcony for a while.The phone in his hand was only a little hot, but he felt it was burning.

He turned around to go back to the dining room, only to find Fang Yuan standing behind him when he turned around.Leaning against the sliding door of the balcony, watching him with a cigarette in his mouth.

He didn't notice the distance of a few steps, and he didn't know whether he was too focused on the phone, or he was used to the smell of cigarettes far away from the other party.

If he doesn't open his mouth, Fang Yuan won't take the initiative to ask about him.

So Lin Ze mentioned: "Xu Li's house is non-smoking."

"I know," Fang Yuan slowly exhaled the smoke between his fingers, "I can't hold it anymore, come out and take a puff."

His fingers holding cigarettes are well-knit, long and tough.After puffing out a puff of smoke, the entire outline was smudged by the bluish-white smoke, revealing the illusion of gentleness.

Staying with Fang Yuan is torture, he knows what to say and do, which makes him unable to resist.

"Smoking?" Fang Yuan motioned for the cigarette in his hand.

He knew that Lin Ze didn't smoke, but he still wanted to ask.

"No need," Lin Ze withdrew his wandering gaze, and passed him by, "I'll go in first."

He had just walked halfway when Fang Yuan took a drag on his cigarette and grabbed his wrist.Fang Yuan's strength was not light, and it hurt him a lot.

Lin Ze frowned. Just as he was about to ask him what he was doing, the other party suddenly came up and bit his lips.Before he had time to eat the pain, the tip of his tongue smelt of smoke rushed in.

Lin Ze was pressed against the door frame, unable to breathe, and could only passively respond to Fang Yuan.

It wasn't until he was choked by the smell of smoke that Fang Yuan let him go, looked at him with red eyes from coughing leisurely, and said with a teasing smile.

"I ask you to smoke."

7.

Lin Ze's hometown is a small county, and he can drive around the city in an hour.

After going to college, he seldom came back. The small town has changed a lot in the past few years, and the old houses on the East Street have also been pushed out and built new ones.

"That's it," Zhong Juan pointed out from the car window, and the car drove into the nearby neighborhood according to her instructions, "Xu Li, pull over and stop, don't block the road."

Xu Li poked his head out, glanced at Zhong Juan's hand, and parked the car on the curb.Zhong Juan got out of the car with the bag in hand and directed him to get the big and small bags in the trunk.

Xu Li hurriedly went to open the trunk, shaking like an errand runner.While taking it, he called Fang Yuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the next car, who was about to touch the cigarette: "Hurry up, come and give me a hand."

Fang Yuanyan didn't touch it, only an empty box, and coughed twice with a itchy throat.

It was not the first time Xu Li met Zhong Juan's parents, but she was still terrified.Zhong Juan was an only child, and her parents felt sorry for her and were reluctant to marry off her daughter so early, so they were naturally wary of Xu Li.

"Where's Lin Ze?"

The health care products packed in large and small gift boxes were almost piled up to the chin in front of him, Xu Li turned around and asked.

Fang Yuan rests his elbow on
