don't force me

This year's key school entrance examination is scheduled for late December, and the New Year's party will be two days after the examination. Lin Tingan is about to explode after getting the specific examination time: it is already the beginning of December, and time is tight. It's really hard to get a little cheap from Du Xuan.

He dug out his monthly exam papers and made a summary, and sorted out all the loopholes in his knowledge since this semester, and then went to Du Xuan to borrow last year's joint exam papers.

Du Xuan spread her hands: "Who will keep that? I'll throw away the test paper after commenting."

Lin Tingan said: "Don't you keep the papers? Our teacher asked us to keep the papers and always review them at the end."

Du Xuan smiled: "It's enough to copy down the wrong questions. There are only two questions in total. How troublesome is it to keep the whole paper?"

Lin Tingan stared at Du Xuan, unable to speak for a while, and finally rolled his eyes angrily.

"What's wrong?" Du Xuan asked.

"It's okay." Lin Ting'an muttered, "I'm just annoyed by your sentence 'there are no two questions in total'. If I want to change it, I have to keep the test paper, because there are more wrong questions than correct ones."

Du Xuan took Lin Tingan's hand and said soothingly, "Don't be angry, I'll help you download a copy of that paper from the Internet."

Lin Tingan: "But I want your problem-solving ideas."

"I'll do it again for you."

Lin Tingan glanced left and right and found no one around, so he rushed over and gave Du Xuan a big hug: "Thank you."

Du Xuan whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Du Xuan thought that Lin Tingan, who was busy preparing for the exam, would come to him often to ask questions, and even divided his spare time according to Lin Tingan's schedule, finding three days a week to help Lin Tingan answer questions.What's strange is that Lin Tingan didn't come to him to ask him a single question in the whole week.

When school was over on Thursday, Du Xuan took Sun Rui's mobile phone and sent Lin Tingan a WeChat message, and then ran to the junior high school building to block people.

Lin Tingan rushed out of the building wrapped in a thick down jacket, and found Du Xuan in the corridor between the teaching building and the small garden.As soon as he saw Du Xuan, he couldn't help laughing and wanted to hold his hand.In December, when school was over, it was already dark, and the small alleyway was dark, so Lin Tingan threw himself on Du Xuan.

"What do you need from me?" Lin Tingan said sweetly.

"Have you finished your study?"

Lin Tingan immediately made a bitter face: "You are like this...I want to call you mother."

Du Xuan laughed all of a sudden: "I'm a little worried about you, you didn't ask me any questions."

"I asked the teacher a question," Lin Tingan said, "You are addicted to my tutor."

Du Xuan was a little embarrassed: "No, I just want to give you a lecture topic, and I can stay with you for a while."

Lin Tingan rubbed his face against Du Xuan's neck: "I don't want to keep looking for you."

"why?"

"Looking at you, I can't keep learning." Lin Tingan sighed, "I used to say that puppy love affects my studies. I never believed it, but now I believe it."

"Then what do you want to do?" Du Xuan asked.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to stay with you and chat for a while." Lin Ting'an said, "I used to see Zheng Ziyan staying with Yang Lemeng every day, and the two of them didn't do anything but sit and talk together. I I just thought, what is there to talk about, staying together every day, the words in the previous life are almost finished, is it annoying? Now I think, even if I don’t talk, I can stay with you for a day. "

Du Xuan grabbed Lin Tingan's face and asked, "What did you eat between classes, your mouth is so sweet."

Lin Tingan let go of his hands and stood up: "I don't know, that's what I think."

Du Xuan looked at Lin Ting'an for a while with the dim street lights on the campus: "Then you still want to go to the remedial class with me?"

"Go, go, go," Lin Tingan said urgently, "We agreed, we will go to tutoring classes together on Tuesday and Friday, and go home together after school."

Du Xuan said "Oh": "So you are not afraid of 'unintentional study'?"

Lin Tingan scratched his head irritably: "Oh, forget it, it's so annoying."

Du Xuan grabbed Lin Ting'an and said, "Don't bother, we're going home."

Lin Tingan walked slowly beside Du Xuan, and said, "Actually, there is another reason why I didn't look for you. Will you host the school party this year? Do you have a piano solo? The rehearsal is enough for you. You have to promise Auntie I have to take the top three exams, if you take the time to review for me, you will be busy for the whole December?"

Du Xuan chuckled, "You underestimate me too much. How can I be so busy with such a small matter? The host and soloist don't need much preparation, skilled jobs."

Lin Ting'an was silent for a while: "Du Xuan, I really understand why Sun Rui keeps saying that he wants to hit you."

"You want to too?"

Lin Tingan laughed and shook his head: "No, hey, you are so awesome, I feel quite proud."

Du Xuan's heart moved, and he asked seriously: "So you forced me to take the 'Grand Slam' exam every day?"

Lin Tingan: "I just want them to know that you are not a decline in your studies, you are just so awesome."

Du Xuan asked: "High school is different from junior high school. What if my high school grades drop?"

Lin Tingan said indifferently: "Skate as long as you want. Where can you go if you skate again? There must be heavy books, right? Even if you don't have them, what's the matter with ordinary books? Aren't they all good?"

"Then I force you to study every day, will you be annoyed?"

Lin Tingan thought about it seriously: "It's a bit stressful, but it's not annoying. I know you're doing it for my own good. You want me to go to No. [-] Middle School. Hey, I want to go to No. [-] Middle School myself. I want to go to high school with you." .”

Du Xuan looked up at the dark sky with a few stars that were not very bright. He thought he should talk to his mother when he got home.

Zhou Man is quite satisfied with Du Xuan during this time. She does her homework seriously in her room every day when she returns home, and attends the remedial classes twice a week very seriously. It is said that Du Xuan will study for an hour after each class, and she is very conscious.Last month, Du Xuan was successfully elected as the head of the Propaganda Department. The Youth League Committee and the teachers of the Moral Education Department valued him very much. In the future, he will definitely have an advantage in evaluating the best. These are all human resources, and Zhou Man is particularly convinced of them.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that Xiaoxuan and Lin Tingan got a little close. Zhou Man was worried that he would spoil his son, so he kept reminding Du Xuan to keep a distance from Lin Tingan intentionally or unintentionally, but it had little effect.But since Du Xuan's grades did not decline, Zhou Man didn't care too much about it.

When it was almost seven o'clock, Du Xuan opened the door and came in. Zhou Man asked, "Why is it 10 minutes late today? I don't know..." She said halfway, remembering that Du Xuan's mobile phone had been confiscated, so she stopped in resentment Mouth.

Du Xuan said casually, "I'm on duty."

He walked into the room and looked around, then asked, "Didn't Dad come back?"

Zhou Man put the food on the table and said, "Your father is very busy recently. Maybe he will get off work very late during this time. Mom also has a project to do in two days. You have to study consciously at home."

Du Xuan responded, and asked while picking rice grains: "Mom, I want to ask you a question."

"Say." Zhou Man served Du Xuan a bowl of soup.

Du Xuan: "Mom, have you ever thought that I...maybe not very smart, and I can't learn as well as you expect?"

Zhou Man glanced at his son, and his face sank slightly: "Did you get discouraged just after freshman?"

"No," Du Xuan shook her head, "I'm just asking. If you want to take the central financial examination, you have to be in the top ten in your grade. As far as my math and physics are concerned, I think it's a bit difficult in the third year of high school."

"That's why you have to work hard in the first year of high school," Zhou Man put down his chopsticks, "Diligence can make up for one's weakness, stupid birds fly first, and hard work will definitely pay off."

Zhou Man paused, "Of course, if you try your best but still can't reach it, then we will admit it, but if you don't try your best 100%, then you won't regret it in the future?"

Du Xuan plucked up the courage to ask, "If I don't want to study finance and economics, I want to study something else."

Zhou Man said impatiently: "We have discussed this issue. For your future, it is best to study finance and economics."

Du Xuan closed her mouth and ate in silence.He thought, I can understand that you do think about me, but I may never understand the way you arrange my life for me.

After school on Friday, Du Xuan and Lin Tingan went to the remedial class together, one in physics and the other in Chinese.Lin Tingan threw the phone to Du Xuan: "Hold it for me."

"why?"

"Chinese class," Lin Tingan clicked his tongue, "I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to it and play with my phone, so I'll let you stay safe."

Du Xuan put the phone in his pocket: "Go, I finish class half an hour earlier than you, and I'll wait for you in the study room."

Lin Tingan sighed: "One hour of Chinese, my mother."

Du Xuan quickly hugged Lin Tingan's waist: "Concentrate on listening and don't sleep."

"I..." Lin Tingan took a breath, "Do your best."

Du Xuan patted Lin Tingan on the shoulder encouragingly: "Go."

Lin Tingan went to the classroom with his head drooping, and Du Xuan went to the physics classroom to sit down and forced himself to listen carefully to a section on mechanics.When returning to the study room, Lin Tingan's cell phone vibrated suddenly.

Du Xuan took out her phone and took a look. The screen was locked, but there was a QQ message floating on the screen.

"Ann, you can, okay?" There was a smiley face on the back.

Du Xuan's hand trembled, and she frowned at the "Meme", and then glanced at the person who left the message, a string of letters that couldn't be spelled.Du Xuan swiped the screen subconsciously, and the password lock keyboard was displayed. He knew the password of Lin Tingan's phone, but he hesitated and gave up.

Of course Du Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Tingan, that kid was so simple and stupid, but he just felt that there was someone, no matter who it was, who could call him "An" in a grand manner and send Lin Tingan "What?", whether it was a joke or a joke. , made him feel awkward.This awkwardness surprised Du Xuan. In such a short period of time, Lin Tingan had completely occupied his emotions, making him unable to stop.He was a little afraid of his mentality, always felt that one day he would develop into the kind of manipulative person who would not allow Lin Tingan to have a little bit of his own life—just like his mother.

That's horrible!

Lin Tingan is such a free and easy person, his emotions and life cannot be planned on a predetermined route.

Du Xuan irritatedly threw her mobile phone into her schoolbag, forced herself to draw the force analysis diagram of the car, and stopped thinking about the message.

Half an hour later, Lin Tingan quietly sat next to Du Xuan with his schoolbag in his hand, and sighed directly on the table: "Du Xuan".When Lin Tingan said this, he had that soft nasal voice again, as if he was acting like a baby.Du Xuan felt his whole body tense, so he slapped Lin Tingan on the head: "Speak well."

"Could you tell me the story later?" Lin Ting'an said with a sad face, "I can't listen to it."

Du Xuan: "Yes, but you also need to listen to the remedial class."

"It made me fall asleep," Lin Tingan muttered, "Give me the phone."

Du Xuan took out the mobile phone and handed it to him, watched Lin Tingan verify the fingerprint to open the screen, call up QQ, he smiled when he saw the line of words, flicked his fingers quickly, and replied two words: "haha".

Du Xuan endured it for a while, pretending that he didn't see anything.

Lin Tingan threw the phone on the table, lay down again, closed his eyes and said, "Let me rest for a while."

Du Xuan stared at the phone, feeling confused.Suddenly the screen lights up, and a line of words floats up

“Waiting for you to come back from vacation”

Du Xuan was startled suddenly. It's December and the winter vacation is about to start. Lin Tingan will go back to his hometown during the Spring Festival, right?Just like the winter vacation last year, I didn't see him for a whole month...

Du Xuan pushed Lin Tingan: "Are you going back to your hometown during the winter vacation?"

"I don't know." Lin Tingan still closed his eyes, "I have to make up lessons in the third year of junior high school, so I might not go back. And..." Lin Tingan paused, "I don't want to go back now either."

Du Xuan gently touched Lin Tingan's cheek, and Lin Tingan opened his eyes suddenly: "What are you doing?"

Du Xuan shook her head, showing a warm smile: "It's okay."

Lin Tingan grabbed Du Xuan's hand and held it tightly under the desk.

On Monday, December 20th, the monthly exam for the basic grade and the key school entrance exam for the graduate grade begin at the same time.

When Lin Tingan spread out the Chinese paper, he deeply realized the true meaning of the three words "key school" - no fucking question is easy, where is the agreed 70.00% basic question?He racked his brains to make up the answers, and tried to recall the key points and problem-solving skills that Du Xuan had told him before. At any rate, he filled up the paper, and finally he was worthy of Du Xuan's time and energy to help him review.

During the lunch break at noon, Lin Tingan stopped Du Xuan in the cafeteria and asked nervously, "How, how?"

Du Xuan smiled and said, "I just finished two exams, so I think it's okay."

Sun Rui held the soup bowl, and said quietly to the side: "No one cares about how I do in the exam."

Du Xuan said, "Didn't your Wen Yao ask you?"

Sun Rui shook his head: "Hey, no one cares for the lonely one."

Du Xuan smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, 'Did you do well in the exam'?"

Sun Rui glanced at Du Xuan: "You better stop asking, it feels like you're swearing when you ask me."

Lin Tingan laughed out loud.

Du Xuan blinked at Lin Tingan and said, "There are still two and a half days, let's take the exam!"

Sun Rui said: "Everyone work hard to take the exam. After the exam, we will go out for a day on New Year's Day."

Lin Tingan immediately became interested: "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, Wen Yao said she arranged."

Du Xuan frowned and glanced at Sun Rui.

Sun Rui raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender: "Don't worry, it's just for fun, no strings attached."
