don't force me

On Monday, June [-]th, this was the last flag-raising ceremony that Lin Tingan participated in at the junior high school stage, and the host was Du Xuan.

The theme of the flag-raising ceremony: "I will wait for you in the future" was displayed on the outdoor LED electronic screen on the podium, with the blue sky and white clouds and large gardenias in the background.

Sun Rui asked: "How did you pass the subject moral education department? Grammar is not clear."

Du Xuan glanced at him contemptuously, and sneered: "You are uneducated, this one is unanimously approved."

"why?"

"If you were the principal, you would definitely hope that all the students' first choices would fill in the school, and all the top students would stay, right?"

Sun Rui said dumbfoundingly: "All right, I am convinced."

As a graduating grade who was about to leave school, the third grade of junior high school stood at the front of the playground, facing the drill platform.Lin Tingan unreasonably replaced Han Mo again and stood at the front of the team, one step away from Du Xuan.

On the way to school this morning, Du Xuan said mysteriously: "I prepared a graduation gift for you."

"What?" Lin Tingan asked in surprise, "Show me."

"Not right now," Du Xuan waved his hands to show off, "You will know when the time comes."

"Is it a model airplane?" Lin Tingan asked unwillingly.

"How could it be possible to give you the same thing every time?"

"What's that?" Lin Tingan asked while looking at Du Xuan's schoolbag, and couldn't help but want to reach out and look through it.

Du Xuan patted Lin Tingan's hand away, and smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

Regarding this gift, Lin Tingan fidgeted and speculated for two whole classes but had no clue. When the flag was hoisted, he stopped on the playground, glanced at the screen, and a thought flashed through his mind in an instant.Lin Tingan was startled all of a sudden: My god, this is too generous, how can I let others feel embarrassed hehehehehe...

"What's the matter?" Zheng Ziyan asked in surprise when he saw Lin Tingan cover his face silently with an exclamation, but couldn't hide his weird laughter.

"It's okay." Lin Tingan rubbed his face, trying to erase the springy smile on his face, and kicked Han Mo to the back unceremoniously.

Du Xuan was wearing a dark blue high school uniform, with a snow-white collar tightly buttoned around her neck, and the hem of her shirt neatly tucked into her trouser waist, revealing a neat and thin waist.Today, he is the moderator and also the representative of the high school students who will speak.

Du Xuan raised the microphone and said, "Dear students..."

Lin Tingan stared at Du Xuan without blinking. The tie on Du Xuan's neck was tidied by himself at the door of his house this morning. Although it was pulled, he adjusted the tie carefully and turned it over.Lin Tingan was staring at Du Xuan's neck at this moment, and suddenly felt itchy in his heart. He could not help but twist his fingers, feeling Du Xuan's body temperature on his fingertips.

"Today you are about to walk out of the school gate and enter the battlefield of the senior high school entrance examination, and we will silently cheer for you here. Tomorrow, I hope you can still walk into this school gate and spend the future time with us. In the past three years, we It is a family that loves each other, thanks to fate for making us meet in this beautiful campus, those years are so beautiful that I stand here today, still want to call affectionately: Come back, please? Back to this green grass back to the playground, back to the library with the fragrance of books and ink, back to the tall and advanced laboratory building, back to our embrace, where the courtyard is quiet, and we can enjoy the time in peace. As a student who has spent four years in the third middle school Old man', I want to say, honey, I am here, waiting for you in the future."

Sun Rui groaned in pain, feeling that all his teeth had burst to death.Du Xuan... is so boring, I don't know why everyone thinks he is a "gentleman".Can a modest gentleman do such a stinky and shameless thing?The school just hopes that outstanding students can apply for the school as much as possible to send talents to the high school, and let Du Xuan express this meaning in his speech. As a result, this bastard made a public confession and embedded Lin Tingan's name in it... It's too shameless up.

However, the director of moral education and the principal still expressed approval and satisfaction, blind and deaf.

Oh my God, Sun Rui, who has always been disliked by Wen Yao for being unromantic, feels that he has been hit by a nuclear attack.

Lin Tingan was too close to Du Xuan, so close that now Du Xuan on the leading exercise platform could easily entangle with Lin Tingan as long as he lowered his eyes slightly.Lin Tingan blushed to death, but his eyes were shining brightly on Du Xuan.Du Xuan smiled slightly, and continued: "... I hope you can achieve excellent grades and repay your parents, teachers and school. I hope you can be admitted to an ideal school and lay a solid foundation for your future..."

Lin Tingan rubbed his nose, his gaze followed Du Xuan's face to his waistline, followed his waistline to his long legs, and from his long legs to his shoes.

Du Xuan changed his shoes. When he went out this morning, he clearly wore the "couple shoes" with him.

During the Spring Festival, Ma Jing gave Du Xuan a pair of shoes, which were of the same style and a different color from Lin Tingan’s. Everyone wears one on each foot, one is white on the left and black on the right, and the other is white on the right and black on the left.This way of dressing is not uncommon, it can always be seen on campus, both boys and girls.There are a lot of special shoes, and there are more shoes to change. Every time you train, everyone first plays the shoes.On today's occasion, Du Xuan naturally couldn't wear "panda shoes" on stage, but even so, the couple's shoes on the two's feet in the early morning and Du Xuan's speech immediately gave Lin Tingan a feeling of "declaring to the world".

Really scared and happy, sweet and exciting, Lin Tingan felt that his soul was flying.

"...I wish you all the titles on the gold list, and hang the clouds and sails to help the sea." Du Xuan made the concluding remarks on the stage, and after he bowed, the audience applauded thunderously, and the background music started, and the audience applauded thunderously.Lin Tingan glanced around guiltily, always feeling that someone was looking at him, and a girl next to him sighed: "Du Xuan is so handsome."

The other one said: "Aren't you going to be admitted to the third middle school? Do you want to follow up?"

Lin Tingan glared at him viciously, thinking I was dead?

The girl didn't see Lin Tingan's expression, she spread her hands and said, "I won't touch that nail, I'm sure I won't be able to catch up."

Lin Tingan snorted, looked at Du Xuan on the stage and thought, he must keep an eye on him when we are on the same floor in the future.

There is no class in the third day of junior high school today. After the flag-raising ceremony, I will stay in the playground for the graduation ceremony.During recess, Du Xuan went to the third floor of the high school building, stood at the window and looked down.The ceremony was over, and the students were taking photos with the playground, and everyone took out their school uniform T-shirts for autographs.Du Xuan glanced at the shoes and easily found Lin Tingan, who was jumping happily. The white T-shirt on his body had become colorful, and he was posing with his arms around a few classmates. The two girls next to him insisted on Squeezing over to take pictures together, Lin Tingan smiled and let a girl put his shoulders.

Du Xuan couldn't help laughing, he really liked seeing Lin Tingan like this, laughing wantonly and shouting happily in the sun.

When Du Xuan returned to the classroom, Sun Rui said, "Li Tianyou has an appointment on the weekend, will you go?"

Du Xuan shook her head: "Saturday and Sunday coincide with the high school entrance examination, so I won't go."

Sun Rui snorted: "I knew it, I've answered it for you... I heard some gossip, do you want to listen?"

Du Xuan rolled his eyelids lazily: "Say."

Sun Rui said: "You have signed up for the 'Biological Training Program'."

Du Xuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing: "The Biological Training Program" is a project jointly launched by the district education committee and the genetic laboratory of the Agricultural University. foundation for biological research.Although this project is aimed at high school students, the Agricultural University has opened a laboratory for this purpose, and has found very good professors to participate in the project.To put it simply, this is an elite project invested by the Education Committee, and it is precisely because of this that the selection is particularly stringent.There are only [-] places in the whole district, and the No. [-] Middle School won four places, and it is said that there are twelve people who signed up.

"I passed?" Du Xuan asked.

"The overall rating is third." Sun Rui was also very happy, "Whether you can pass or not depends on the school in the end, but I guess it's not a big problem."

Du Xuan asked a little worriedly: "Where did this news come from? Is it accurate?"

"Eight or nine are inseparable from ten, you just wait for Lao Niu to talk to you."

During the lunch break, Lao Niu came to the classroom to walk around, and called Du Xuan away with a blank expression.

Lao Niu asked: "You signed up for the 'biology training program', do you like biology?"

Du Xuan said, "I want to be a doctor."

"Well, I always thought you would study liberal arts in the future."

"I'm not bad at science." Du Xuan hurriedly distinguished, "I can rank among the top fifteen in a single subject."

"Oh? That's enough?" Lao Niu knocked on the table, "If you want to go to medical school, you can do well in science, but look at your current physics and mathematics scores. Can you learn to understand it? Although it is not bad in the whole grade, is it considered excellent?"

Du Xuan closed his mouth, he was a little uncertain about Lao Niu's attitude, his expression was neither happy nor sad, it didn't look like he was here to inform him of the good news, but it was a sign that he was going to invite his parents.He asked a little nervously: "That... Teacher Niu, you are looking for me..."

"I think you've been a bit cocky lately, and you're speaking on behalf of the school again today." The old cow still said sullenly, "Du Xuan, you can't be proud. You have to know that your grades are good in general subjects, but not good in science. Want to learn biology? Hmph."

Du Xuan's heart sank suddenly.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go back." The old cow waved his hand.

Just as Du Xuan was about to turn around in a mess, the old cow said again, "By the way, let me tell you something, the list of the biology training program has been finalized."

Du Xuan almost knelt down to Lao Niu, what can I do with such a teacher in charge?I am also very desperate.

The old cow finally couldn't help laughing: "There is you."

"I..." Du Xuan swallowed back the word "fuck" and said, "I...really?"

Lao Niu smiled and pointed to Du Xuan's forehead: "Pay attention to language."

"Is it really me?" Du Xuan didn't care about Teacher Niu's criticism, she was so excited that her eyes lit up, "Thank you teacher."

"Why do you thank me? You are good enough yourself. Du Xuan, study hard, and you will become a master in the future."

Du Xuan smiled embarrassedly.

"Really, I have so many years of teaching experience, and the students will not miss it. You will be very good in the future."

"Thank you teacher." Du Xuan said, with a confident smile on his face, he asked again: "Who else but me?"

Teacher Niu reported a few names, and the others were ignored. Du Xuan actually heard Li Tianyou's name.Although Li Tianyou's grades were not bad, they were by no means excellent. He was in the [-]th or [-]th grade. It was somewhat surprising that he appeared in this list.

Back in the classroom, Sun Rui said treacherously: "Is my information accurate?"

Du Xuan: "I'll treat you to potato chips later. Since you are so good at inquiring gossip, didn't you ask why Li Tianyou was chosen?"

"Li Tianyou was also elected? I don't know." Sun Rui lowered his voice and said, "But I know that Li Tianyou must have some background, and their classmates often see a car with a parking permit from the municipal party committee coming to the school to pick him up , I heard that the vice-principal came over to take a look the day he reported."

Du Xuan clicked his tongue: "This is disgusting. I don't even know how the school will explain it to those students who were not selected."

"Is there any explanation for this?" Sun Rui spread his hands, "Isn't it the easiest to find faults? Those few must be able to find faults to some extent. I guess you and the other two can't find anything. It just passed."

Du Xuan frowned: "No, I'm actually the one who was almost brushed off."

"why?"

Du Xuan smiled wryly: "Now I finally understand why Lao Niu said those things. 'Biology training' is a science project. My math and physics grades are not good. If you brush me off, it can still be justified." .”

"Well," Sun Rui nodded, "then the old cow must have saved you."

Du Xuan lay on the table and buried her face in her arms.Everywhere in this society there is a need to look at "face", talk about "human relations", and recognize "backstage". Even the campus can't get rid of these messy things.At this time, he thought of his father, who was dealing with these sophistication every day, calculating who is related to whom, who knows who can do what, who needs how much money to manage, who needs to lose face It's better to keep away from him whoever he pleases, so as not to get burned... Du Xuan especially despises these things, and finds them disgusting.He is not a naive young man who lives in an ivory tower and does not know the world, but he always feels that this society still depends on real skills in the final analysis, and "human relationships" cannot solve all problems, or in other words, people with real skills, no matter what No "favor" will not suffer too much.

The future is still long, Du Xuan thought, I can't become like my father, I have to be stronger.

On the weekend, Du Xuan woke up early, ready to go downstairs to Lin's house to cheer Lin Tingan up.Zhou Man asked: "Why do you go for the entrance examination? It's not enough to cause trouble."

Du Jiancheng said: "Of course we should go. The two of you are good friends. Dad and your Uncle Lin are also colleagues. With such a deep friendship, you should go and encourage Xiaoan in the family exam."

Zhou Man glared at Du Chengcheng, and held back his words.

Du Jiancheng said again: "Go and tell Xiaoan, after he finishes his exams, I'll be the host to treat him, and everyone will be happy to have a meal."

Du Xuan couldn't help asking, "Didn't you ask Uncle Lin for something else?" In the end, he just nodded indiscriminately and ran downstairs, shutting his mother's dissatisfaction and father's sarcasm at the door.

The whole room of the Lin family laughed.

Lin Yi said: "Xiao'an, you have to pass the exam. Your mother has almost broken the threshold of Lama Temple in the past two months."

Lin Tingan said: "Mom, can you do it? You are a party member."

Ma Jing scolded with a smile: "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, he even changed the key chain of 'Soon to Success' yesterday."

Lin Ting'an rubbed his eyes with a smile and said to Du Xuan, "Send me to school."

Du Xuan was a little embarrassed. In fact, he was quite willing to send for the exam, but he was embarrassed to go with Lin Tingan's parents. What is this?

Ma Jing: "Xiaoxuan, is there something wrong with you? If it's okay, go with Xiaoan. He has said that he is nervous since last night. The more we persuade him, the more nervous he becomes. I feel that it is not as effective as what you said."

Du Xuan looked at Lin Tingan, Lin Tingan winked at him, showing a sly smile.

It's a ghost that this kid is nervous!

After all, Du Xuan got into Lin Yi's car and chatted quietly with Lin Tingan in the back seat, while Ma Jing sat in the co-pilot smiling and listening to Du Xuan explaining the precautions to his son.

"Look at the composition first, and calculate the time."

"Don't forget to paint the multiple-choice questions on the cards."

"Pay attention to the deduction of questions in the composition. Even if you can't check the questions clearly, you still have to deduct the materials."

"If you really don't know how to do prose questions, just answer all the points, anyway, it's nothing more than those."

"How many pencils did you bring?"

……

Lin Tingan responded to Du Xuan's words, but quietly held Du Xuan's hand.

Du Xuan glanced at him warningly, Lin Tingan said with a smile, "I'm nervous."

Du Xuan had no choice but to put back the hand that was about to be drawn back.

Parking is prohibited within 50 meters of the school gate. Lin Tingan said, "Dad, you can go back with Mom. I can go there by myself."

"How can I do that?" Ma Jing said, "Let your dad stop the car, and mom will take you in." After speaking, she opened the door and got out of the car without any explanation.

Du Xuan followed Lin Tingan out of the car, and the three of them walked slowly to the school gate, which was crowded with candidates and parents, and reporters from several media were holding up their cameras and catching everywhere.The teacher on duty at the gate smiled when he saw Lin Tingan: "Yo, you are playing at home."

"That's, our luck, nothing to say." Lin Tingan said proudly, Zheng Ziyan was assigned to another school for exams, and he always envied Lin Tingan.

Du Xuan gently pushed him: "Go in."

Lin Tingan opened his arms: "Come on, get some luck as a master."

Du Xuan smiled and said, "I don't rely on luck." After speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Lin Tingan tightly.

At the crowded school gate, in the smile of Lin's mother, in the eyes of a dozen third middle school teachers, and in front of several media reporters, Du Xuan hugged Lin Tingan tightly, put his chin on his shoulder, and felt Watching his heartbeat, whispered: "Come on, I'll wait for you."

Lin Tingan closed his eyes: "Wait."

When Du Xuan watched Lin Tingan walk into the exam, he was more nervous than himself in the high school entrance exam. He thought to himself: A person who has already signed a special recruitment, why should he be nervous, probably because he is "Lin Tingan".

In the evening, Du Xuan received a news feed forwarded by Sun Rui. Sun Rui added a particularly obscene emoji and typed a line: "Look for yourself, tsk tsk tsk"

Tsk what tsk, it shows that you have a long tongue.Du Xuan clicked on the push with a smile, and the press-themed photos jumped into her eyes, and Du Xuan was suddenly stunned.

In the photo, he and Lin Tingan hug each other tightly. The background is the magnificent school gate of the No. [-] Middle School and the happy smiling faces of Ma Jing and the teachers...

The text at the bottom is: deep brotherly love

Du Xuan slapped the phone on his face all of a sudden, and smiled blushingly: It's over, this time I'm famous.

After laughing for a while, Du Xuan forwarded this tweet to Lin Tingan, and Lin Tingan immediately responded with a shocked expression, saying: Are we "out of the closet"?

Du Xuan lay on his back on the bed, put his phone aside, and laughed.
