In the final exam, Lin Ran did very well. Although he missed a lot of classes in the past two months, he was still in the top three in his grade.It may be because he is no longer the class monitor, and without worrying about those class activities, he has more time to study than before.

The top classes in key middle schools still place great emphasis on academic performance. If your grades are so good that no matter how hard you work, most people will look at you with their own filters, making Lin Ran a The fact that there are sexual minorities who are not like them becomes a little bit easier to accept.

People will only secretly comment: This is too good, it’s just a pity that I haven’t attended so many classes, and I can still get such a high score in the test... instead of saying that my private life is so chaotic, how can I have the heart to study? ah?You see the grades have dropped.

Lin Ran felt that it was much easier to spend time in the classroom than at home.Sometimes in class, when the teacher told a funny joke, or something unexpected happened to the class's pets, Lin Ran would also smile with other students, looking very normal and gregarious.

It's just that sometimes, just a few times, Lin Ran would lose his mind when he looked at the empty space at the back door unknowingly.

After the final exam, the school inhumanely insisted on making up another week of classes for their class. It is said that only the top class students enjoy the same treatment as the senior three students.

Finally, it was the last afternoon before the winter vacation. The whole class became restless and had no intention of going to class. The beautiful and interesting Chinese teacher followed the public opinion and gave up classical Chinese. video.

From the beginning of the sixth class, snowflakes began to float in the sky.So this group of young boys and girls watched the romantic snowflakes fall bigger and bigger outside the window, and chattered in class, excitedly discussing what games to play during the winter vacation and where to have dinner together.

When school is over in the afternoon, the world outside the window is already a vast expanse of whiteness, the air is cold and fresh, and the world covered in silver is clean and beautiful.

As the bell rang for the end of the last class, everyone picked up their schoolbags and started running like a [-]-meter sprint.

Only Lin Ran was different from the others. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, because he had no place or appointment that he particularly wanted to go to.

Lin Ran packed her schoolbag slowly, and at this time there was no one in the class.He picked up his phone and saw the message that Lin Weiguo had just sent. "Ranran, Dad has something to do and can't leave today, let Xiao Liu pick you up after school."

For some reason, Lin Weiguo's driver changed after Lin Ran got seriously ill because of that incident. The original Xiao Zhao disappeared, and he was replaced by Xiao Liu, who just graduated from university and is not much older than Lin Ran.

Just as Lin Ran replied, Tang Ximeng walked into their class.

Tang Ximeng embraced Lin Ran's shoulder affectionately, and asked, "Why, don't you have an appointment today?"

"..." Lin Ranbai glanced at Tang Ximeng, showing a very speechless expression.

Tang Ximeng asked again: "Xiaoran, let me invite you to drink coffee, are you going?"

Lin Ran shook her head: "No."

Tang Ximeng: "Then shall we play tennis?"

Lin Ran asked back, "Why don't you go find your girlfriend?"

Tang Ximeng suddenly stopped talking.

"Ximeng, what's wrong with you?" Lin Ran asked.

Tang Ximeng glanced at him a little wronged, and said resentfully: "You are finally willing to take the initiative to talk to me."

Lin Ran bumped into his shoulder with her shoulder as she did when she was a child.

Tang Ximeng sniffed, and said, "You are not the only one who is unlucky and depressed in this world."

"What happened to you?" Lin Ran asked again.

It took Tang Ximeng a long time before he replied, "Yesterday, my parents got divorced."

As soon as Lin Ran heard it, he immediately thought of his own parents' complicated and complicated marital status, which was obviously divorced but still seemed to be disconnected, and immediately felt a kind of sympathy for Tang Ximeng from the same situation.

Lin Ran: "What did you say you wanted to do?"

"Why, do you want to drink with me to relieve your worries?" Tang Ximeng asked back.

Lin Ran frowned and said, "You didn't drink alcohol in the choice you gave me just now?"

"All right, all right, you can do whatever you want with me."

Lin Ran saw that the snow outside the window didn't seem to be as big as before, so he suggested: "Then let's go to the bookstore, I'm just going to buy reference books."

"..." Tang Ximeng looked puzzled, "Aren't you embarrassing me, a scumbag? Why do you still need to buy reference books when you finally have a vacation? You are already in the top three of your grade, why are you still so cumbersome?"

Although there were a lot of complaints in Tang Ximeng's questioning, the two still got into the car of the new driver Xiao Liu and headed towards the book city.

Lin Ran's eyes followed the snowflakes flying outside the window, and asked Tang Ximeng, "Are you sentenced to your father or your mother?"

Tang Ximeng: "It should be my mother, and my father pays the living expenses every month."

Lin Ranyu persuaded earnestly: "No matter how much money you give, you are just sitting and eating. Now it is not the same as before. You have to calm down and study hard, you know? Otherwise, if your father remarries in the future, he will stop spending money for you. What if I can’t even go to university?”

Tang Ximeng looked unhappy: "It won't be so miserable, I tell you, Lin Ran, don't curse me like this, don't scare me with alarmist words."

In fact, Lin Ran really didn't scare him. He said these words not only for Tang Ximeng, but also for himself.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that his and Tang Ximeng's fates were so similar, they were like beautiful butterflies flying in the flowers at the end of summer, they looked glamorous, but they were already yellow flowers, and they would not be good for a few days.

In the process of selecting books, Lin Ran met Zhao Yingge, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.Originally, their classes were divided into different floors, and Lin Ran hadn't participated in the activities of the radio station for a long time, so it was even more difficult to interact with Zhao Yingge.

Zhao Yingge looked at Lin Ran with sadness and sympathy in his eyes, and the hesitant to speak made Lin Ran feel very uncomfortable.

So Lin Ran took the math reference book he had just picked out and broke the silence on his own initiative. "This book is easy to use! The topics are not too simple, the explanations are very detailed, and there are few repetitive topics to avoid wasting time."

Zhao Yingge accepted the book he recommended and thanked him.

"It's okay, the radio station has worked hard for you a while ago." Lin Ran rubbed his frozen hands and said.

Zhao Yingge shook his head immediately: "No, that's what it should be. Stationmaster Lin is welcome to come back anytime, we still need you very much."

Lin Ran nodded and promised, "I will return to the team next semester."

Zhao Yingge's eyes clearly showed that she still had something to say, but she didn't say anything after a long time. Finally, she looked out the window and said, "Lin Ran, I just want to say that something happened and it happened. You Don’t feel like you did something wrong, and don’t punish yourself for someone else’s mistakes.”

Lin Ran listened to what she said quietly, without saying a word, but there was movement in her eyes.

However, Zhao Yingge was talking incoherently. I wonder if it was because the bookstore was too hot that his entire face was stained crimson.

She took a deep breath and continued as if to cheer herself up: "I thought at the time, if you two really like each other, I will also bless you from the bottom of my heart. But if you have separated now. Lin Ran, I hope you—you can seriously consider me."

Lin Ran, who fell into silence, thought a lot. He thought of when he was young, when he didn't understand love, he pursued Zhao Yingge but couldn't get it; , and planned the college time for a long time, but I didn't expect this relationship to end so suddenly...

He didn't even have time to officially disclose their relationship in front of their mutual friends. He never responded positively to other people's ridicule and doubts. At that time, he always naively thought that they still had a lot of time in the future. Thinking of their story ending so abruptly, there is no future.

"That, I can't think about it anymore." Lin Ran this time is different from his previous ones. He didn't send a good person card to the girl who confessed to him, and he didn't have any high EQ rejection methods. Instead, he chose the most straightforward way. Bai is also the most sincere way, "I found that I still prefer boys."

His words made Zhao Yingge's eyes flash with tears.

Lin Ran said again: "I know that you chose to say this today to comfort me. It's not that bad to comfort me. Even if some people leave me, there will still be people who like me."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, she extended her right hand to Zhao Yingge, showing a long-lost gentle smile. "Thank you, I will regard you as my best friend from now on."

Zhao Yingge didn't reach out, but took two steps forward and gave him a warm hug.

After the relationship ended, Lin Ran finally admitted to others this relationship that he had been afraid to see.It turned out that the feeling of telling the truth was so good, Lin Ran suddenly felt worthless for his cautious self, and even felt aggrieved for his invisible lover.

The winter vacation of the second year of high school was only a short ten days. Lin Ran buried her head in the study and finished all the winter vacation homework in only one-third of the time.After he shared the result with Tang Ximeng, it quickly spread wildly among the grade groups and became a standard answer for everyone.

It wasn't until Li Meijin was really afraid that he would get bored at home and repeatedly ordered him to "drive him out of the house" that Lin Ran went out for the first time during the winter vacation.

Lin Ran walked alone on the familiar street that was decorated for the New Year, and he would always think of this store or that store involuntarily. He and someone used to come together. Lin Ran didn't like this kind of himself very much, so he deliberately Avoid occasions where couples are prone to appear.

However, human memory also has inertia. He walked to the door of the gym without knowing it. When he realized that he was about to leave, it was too late because Coach Cubs had already seen him.

Xiong Jianlin: "Lin Ran, long time no see, why have you lost so much weight?"

As soon as Lin Ran saw him, he remembered the bits and pieces spent in "Roman Holiday", and agreed with a choked throat: "Yes."

Xiong Jianlin pulled him in and said, "When you are in a bad mood, you should exercise. Exercise will make people secrete dopamine, and your mood will improve. Today I will take you swimming and practice for free!"

Although Lin Ran rejected Coach Cubs' kindness as a sparring partner, he still came to the pool.

Lin Ran came to swim every week before, and he had his own cabinet in the locker room, which contained his swimming equipment.Although I haven't been here for a long time, after entering the water, the muscle memory is still there.

Now he can swim very well in breaststroke, and can go back and forth in the pool several times in one breath.Xiong Jianlin is right, exercise can indeed relieve anxiety.

Lin Ran held his breath, dived into the water, and tried to open his eyes in the swimming pool. In the clear and transparent blue swimming pool, everything in the water was deformed, making Lin Ran seem to have some kind of hallucination.

It was as if the mermaid-like figure with nice abs was still surrounding him, saying to him, "You should relax in the swimming pool, swim at ease..."

"Hold my hand, I'm here..."

At the moment when he was about to suffocate, Lin Ran got out of the water and began to breathe heavily.Where is the personal trainer who once promised to teach him freestyle and butterfly?

When Lin Ran exhausted all his energy and came out of the bathroom exhausted, Xiong Jianlin stopped him.

"After I came back from my trip, I found that there was something extra at home. I guess it might be yours. I'm off work now, do you want to go and get it together?"

Lin Ran understood what he was talking about the moment he opened his mouth. He really hoped that he would say no and just deal with it as he wanted, but the fact is that he was far less free and easy than he expected.

He finally followed Xiong Jianlin to the place where they had many memories.
