I don't have any stress

On Tuesday, the list of new members of each club was posted on the bulletin board on the first floor of the teaching building.

Many people gathered around to watch, blocking up the first floor.

"Oh, I knew I couldn't get into the music club."

"It's normal. I haven't been admitted after applying for two years, and I've become old bacon."

"Damn, who wouldn't want to go whoring for nothing and learn a musical instrument for fun."

Li Tian also ran to the first floor to join in the fun.But what others are watching is the list, and what he is watching is the crowd watching the list.

It belongs to nesting doll behavior.

When it was almost time for the afternoon class, the crowd finally dispersed, leaving only a few scattered students looking around.

Li Tian saw a familiar figure again.

It was the boy I met at the convenience store yesterday.

He was looking up at the shortlist of the music club.

He hadn't been able to squeeze in from the outside at one point just now, and coupled with his lack of height advantage, he couldn't see the list posted at the bottom.At this moment, he waited for the people to disperse before he came to the front.

After realizing that he didn't have his own name, he sighed softly and scratched the back of his head.

Li Tian was patted on the shoulder suddenly, he turned his head and saw that it was Qin Fei.

Qin Fei went downstairs to buy a pen, and was about to go up now.

Hearing the movement behind him, the boy looked back and found that it was Li Tianhou, showing a surprised expression.

Li Tian said hello first: "Your name is Zhang Xin, right, have you applied for a music club?"

Zhang Xin nodded embarrassingly: "I thought I would enter this time, but..." He paused slightly, and whispered: "Is it because I don't know any musical instruments?"

Li Tian recalled the registration forms he had screened, and suddenly remembered, and asked, "Is your core the chip's core?"

Zhang Xin opened his mouth: "Yes, yes."

Li Tian narrowed his eyes and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhang Xin lowered his eyes, rubbed the tip of his nose uncomfortably, and said slowly: "It's because my reason is that I wrote it very strangely, but..." He swallowed subconsciously, and said stagnantly: "What I wrote is all real."

Qin Fei remembered the registration form that he accidentally saw - the reason for filling it seemed to point to Li Tian himself.

Li Tian shook his head calmly: "You can learn piano if you want to, but you said you only want me to teach this, and I can't do it."

"Why?" Zhang Xin said in a daze, "I promise to study hard—"

"It's not this." Li Tian interrupted him, without any ups and downs in his tone, "I don't play the piano anymore."

Zhang Xin was stunned by these words, and stood there for a long time, until the class bell rang in his ears, and then ran, and finally stopped Li Tian at the stairs on the second floor.

"I don't believe it!" He bent over, out of breath, "Are you kidding me?!"

Zhang Xin's forehead was covered with sweat, he ran too fast just now, he took a few breaths before he recovered, and said again: "You don't know, I started to worship you in junior high school, and even regarded you as an idol——"

Li Tian frowned, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a loud male voice behind him.

"Yo, what are you doing here?" Zhang Yiming raised his eyebrows and looked at the three boys who were blocking the stairs. "The class bell rang and they were still discussing outside. Could it be that they were discussing study problems?"

Zhang Xin didn't ask anything, and left in a daze.

After returning to the classroom, Li Tian should listen to the lectures, and when he was tired, he would lie down for a while, just like usual, as if nothing had happened.

He lay on his stomach, turned over, and was facing Qin Fei.

There was a test paper on Qin Fei's desk, with Zhang Yiming's notes in it, and an English exercise book hidden under it, where he wrote two strokes intermittently.

Li Tian turned over, blinked slowly, and then whispered: "Teacher Qin."

His voice was very soft, in the background of Zhang Yiming's loud lecture, it seemed that Qin Fei didn't intend to hear him.

"What's wrong?" Qin Fei stopped writing and asked him.

He accurately captured Li Tian's voice, or in other words, he sensed what Li Tian was saying.

"No, it's a bit boring." The corners of Li Tian's lips curled up, "Call me whatever you want."

Qin Fei: "..." Just now he was a little worried that he was simply sick.

Li Tianweng said in a low voice: "I don't want to attend class, and I can't fall asleep, so you play with me."

Qin Fei gently folded the test paper in half and turned it to the back, ignoring him.

Li Tian lay on the table, watching Qin Fei as he listened to the class.

Suddenly a hand covered his eyes, the palm was dry and warm.

"Don't look at it." Qin Fei said lightly, "If you look at the face again, you will see through it."

Li Tian smiled, his eyelashes trembling slightly, scratching Qin Fei's palm like a small brush.

"Just watch it." Li Tian said shamelessly, "Who told you not to play with me?"

Qin Fei whispered: "How old are you? Is it childish?"

Li Tian shamelessly said: "Fang is seventeen."

"Uh..." Li Tian said leisurely, "I want to skip class, Teacher Qin."

Qin Fei glanced at him and said calmly, "No, Teacher Qin doesn't allow it."

Li Tian was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly: "Why are you still in the show, if you don't bring it like this..."

Qin Fei turned over the test paper on Li Tian's desk, and tapped on a certain question with his fingertips: "Listen to the class carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yiming cleared his throat.

"Well, sometimes I really feel that some students in our class are really close." Zhang Yiming said with emotion, "I don't forget to whisper and connect with each other in class. If you don't go to Taoyuan to be sworn brothers, Luo Guanzhong won't agree." After finishing speaking, he paused After a while, he looked at two people in the last row: "Li Tian, ​​Qin Fei, am I right?"

Someone in the class secretly laughed.

Li Tian raised his hands high.Zhang Yiming was stunned for a moment and asked what he was doing.

Li Tian said sincerely: "Teacher, there are three missing ones in Taoyuan's marriage."

Zhang Yiming: "..."

There was a burst of goose and goose laughter from below.

"It's not important!" Zhang Yiming held his forehead, "Okay, everyone be quiet! Now I have something important to say, everyone stop writing!"

"Although we are not a competition class and there is no requirement to participate in the competition, the school recently held a meeting to discuss and decide to select some outstanding students from the ordinary class to participate in the competition. At present, many competition schedules have been released. There are, you can pay attention to the bulletin board of the school."

"For the specific registration, your teacher Li will tell you at the class meeting. I am here to mobilize everyone to actively participate in the competition, especially the math competition. Students who have the ability to learn can try it, instead of—"

He paused for a while, then turned his eyes to someone in the last row: "Every day I write homework on other subjects in my math class, and even turn over the homework, very arrogant, don't pretend that I don't know."

Qin Fei, who was writing quickly, shook his hand, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhang Yiming.

Accidentally, the four eyes met, very awkward.

Qin Fei: "..."

He silently put down his pen, and re-stamped the math paper on the English exercise book. There is no silver 300 taels here, pretending that nothing happened.

Li Tian snickered on the sidelines.

During the class meeting, Li Lidong really mentioned this matter again.

But whether to participate in the competition or not, most of the students know in their hearts.

Class [-] is an ordinary class. The top [-] students in the city exam last time were only Song Shu and Yuan Licheng, both of whom were in the [-]s or so. The gap with the competition class was quite obvious, so everyone The enthusiasm for participating in science competitions is not high.

Yuan Licheng and Song Shu discussed this issue, and they thought it would be more cost-effective to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination.

There are also some people who plan to only participate in some composition competitions that do not require much preparation, such as Wu Qingyi.

After talking about the competition, Li Lidong talked about the arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

He was only halfway through speaking when the class started to stir up. Noisy cheers wafted in the air, and most of the students' enthusiasm for studying had already been lost.

"Yeah! It's a holiday!"

"get high!"

After school, a few people headed by Song Shu discussed where to go for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They didn't have to go back to their hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival because their relatives were all in Nancheng.

Qin Fei was called to the office by Li Licheng.

Li Licheng first put a few competition registration forms in front of Qin Fei like selling Amway, and vividly introduced and described the benefits of winning the prize, the advantages and bonus points of participating in the strong foundation plan.

Qin Fei didn't know much about this plan before. Hearing Li Licheng's analysis, he suddenly said: "That is to say, even if you participate, you won't lose points?"

Li Licheng explained that the Strong Foundation Program is composed of two items: the total score of the college entrance examination and the test scores of colleges and universities.

Qin Fei said indifferently: "Then this is quite boring, I don't really want to go."

Li Licheng: "Huh?"

"There is no score reduction or recommendation, why not just take the college entrance examination?" Qin Fei explained.

Li Licheng was so choked that he couldn't speak.He thought for a while, organized his words, and said: "Although it is true on the surface, this plan can give you one more chance to hit a prestigious school, and it can also relieve the pressure of naked scores in the college entrance examination."

Qin Fei's tone was terribly dull: "I'm not under any pressure."

Li Licheng: "..."

Li Licheng added: "In fact, there is also a chance to walk!"

"If you can win the Olympic gold and silver medals and enter the national team, you still have a chance to be recommended, but it is more difficult. Our attached high school has never had such a good result before."

Qin Fei stroked his chin, and after a while, he shook his head: "Forget it, the effort is not worth it."

What he said also makes sense.

If you are confident in the naked score of the college entrance examination, there is actually no need to participate in the competition. There are only a handful of people in a province who have successfully recommended the Top 2 through the competition.

Li Lidong gave up persuading Qin Fei. For him, the student's own wishes are more important.

Qin Fei was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and looked at Li Lidong.

Li Lidong thought he had suddenly changed his mind, but he heard him ask: "Is there any competition with higher prize money?"

Li Lidong: "..."

Those who participate in these competitions generally want to add to the college entrance examination or resume. No one cares about the tiny bonuses, and even many well-known competitions don’t even have bonuses.

To participate in these competitions for bonuses, it is better to go to a restaurant to wash dishes and make money faster.

Li Lidong looked Qin Fei up and down, no matter how he looked at it, Qin Fei's daily expenses and clothes didn't seem like he couldn't get rid of it at home.What's more, it was Li Tian's father who introduced him to the principal, so his background should be unusual.

Seeing the constipated expression on Li Lidong's face, Qin Fei understood most of it, said thank you teacher, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Li Lidong called him back again, "Although the prize money for the competition is very small, the attached middle school has its own extra rewards and subsidies."

Qin Fei paused.

When Qin Fei came back, Yuan Licheng and Song Shu were discussing whether to go to the playground or go hiking in the outer suburbs during the holidays. Seeing Qin Fei came back, they asked him if they wanted to go together.

Qin Fei refused, saying that he might have to go back to his hometown during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

His grandparents live in Liancheng. Although they are not close to Nancheng, the high-speed train will take them there in at most an hour. He usually goes back with Zhao Fang to see the elderly on holidays.

However, on this matter, Zhao Fang and Li Chengye had a disagreement.

Li Chengye wanted to take the whole family back to meet Li Tian's grandfather.He told the old man about his plan to remarry last month. The old man felt that it was not easy for him to raise the children by himself. He supported him very much and cared about him very much.

Zhao Fang wanted to take Qin Fei back to Liancheng's hometown.

Li Chengye came up with a compromise solution, that is, the whole family will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together in Nancheng, and Zhao Fang can go back to his hometown with Qin Fei after the National Day later.

Li Chengye thought it was a good idea: "When you go back for the National Day, you can stay for a few more days."

Zhao Fang was still in a dilemma, and sighed: "My dad is very sick this time, and he kept thinking about seeing Xiao Qin last night, so I want to take him back as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I'll accompany you back, and I can help out. There are acquaintances of mine in Liancheng Hospital."

Zhao Fang bit her lower lip, she seemed a little speechless and said, "I haven't had time to tell my father about our matter, and I want to wait until he recovers to bring it up."

"Besides, I'm sorry to trouble you all the time. You are so busy with work."

Li Chengye opened his mouth and said nothing.

In the end, they decided to go their separate ways.

Zhao Fang closed the door of the study when she went out.

Li Chengye fell back into the pitch-black boss chair, his gaze fell on the ceiling. After a while, he lit a cigarette, smoked half of it silently, and finally extinguished the cigarette in the glass jar.

He remembered what happened when Li Tian was two years old.

At that time, his wife had not passed away, and he was still working as a salesman in a small company, earning a meager salary every month. What he looked forward to most every year was to receive the performance award at the end of the year.

However, due to the poor management of the company that year, he was forced to lose his job a week before the Spring Festival.

It just so happened that the father-in-law was sick and needed money, so he sold the only car in the family to the father-in-law for medical treatment, and spent the Spring Festival at the father-in-law's house by the way.

The Spring Festival was in turmoil, and everyone was so busy that they could hardly leave the ground, and they didn't even eat a dumpling.

Li Chengye was busy raising money everywhere, his wife had to take care of Li Tian who was staggering as he walked, and at night he also had to take care of his father-in-law. He was so tired that he was several years old and his hair turned gray several times.

Fortunately, my father-in-law survived that winter.

After making arrangements for the old man, the family packed up their luggage and decided to move to Nancheng to find new job opportunities.

He still remembered that when he left, the weather had turned warm.

The country road was a little muddy after a spring rain, and the little dirt dog was having fun in the puddle, covered in mud all over his body.

The winter jasmine blooms wildly and lively, sending them a light fragrance along the way.

He pushed the luggage with his left hand and led his wife with his right hand.

Li Tian didn't like being hugged anymore, he grabbed his trousers and walked crookedly in small steps...

Thinking of this, Li Chengye's nose became slightly sore.

He touched his chest and felt that the hole that appeared more than ten years ago still existed.

There is no pain anymore.

There are only thoughts and emptiness that cannot be filled.

He will live with this void forever.
