give me a bite

drop out

Autumn in W City is very short, mainly in summer and winter. This is a rare and refreshing weather for wearing a thin coat.

The branches and leaves of the sycamore tree are still lush and green, as if they have not been polished by time, they stand on the two roads and grow.

There is no disturbance from the chirping of cicadas, no disturbance from insects and butterflies, only crowds of people passing by and high-spirited teenagers jumping happily on the long street.

"Finally finished!"

"How was your test?"

"I'm not bad, I think it's enough to stay in the second class this time, how about you?"

"I'm terrible, I'm probably going to shift three."

"It's okay, just across the wall, brother is waiting for you to come back."

"Well, work hard next month."

"Come on, friends, go out and have a meal!"

"I want to eat barbecue!"

"Let's go, go to the one downstairs in Moore City, it's delicious."

"I know, I know, the crab feet noodles there are also good."

……

Lin Ting was fully armed and walked among the crowd, showing some envious eyes, watching his classmates from the same school whom he didn't know travel together.

"Want to go?"

Lin Ting turned to look at Qiu Yunlan in surprise, and happened to meet his clear eyes.

It feels like all the little thoughts have been seen through.

He rubbed his nose and hummed: "I didn't really think about it. Isn't it rare to go home from school with the big team today? It's just a novelty."

Qiu Yunlan nodded, took out her mobile phone and continued walking while looking at it.

Soon he discovered that the road Qiu Yunlan walked was not the way home.

He grabbed Qiu Yunlan's clothes, "Where are you going? You took the wrong path, right? You can also take the wrong way home?"

"Go eat barbecue, Yan Qihao and the others are waiting for us in front."

Lin Ting's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"En." Qiu Yunlan grabbed his hand and squeezed it, but quickly let go.

People driving in the stream were in a hurry, no one noticed such a small movement, even if there was, they would only think it was two boys fighting back and forth.

"They? Who else is there besides Yan Qihao?" Lin Ting was wearing a mask, and he was relieved that Qiu Yunlan could not see his expression, but his tone clearly revealed a cheerful tone.

The corner of Qiu Yunlan's mouth curled up indiscernibly, as if the corner of her clothes had been wrinkled immediately.

"Yu Xiao, Feng Chen, Qiu Chen, they happen to be nearby."

"Oh, is today a party?"

"That's it."

-

"We're here." Lin Ting tugged on the strap of his schoolbag, and shouted when he saw Yan Qihao and the others from afar.

Most delicious barbecue stalls in W City are in the alleys. Yan Qihao and the others sat on the low benches in front of the store, surrounded by a small table covered with a transparent tablecloth.

"Come on, come on, I haven't ordered yet, I'm waiting for you to come."

Yan Qihao and Qiu Chen are physical education students and do not participate in the monthly exam, so it is equivalent to a day off. Yu Xiao is also the kind who submits the papers in advance. Although the regulations do not allow it, the teacher has nothing to do with him.

Just as Lin Ting was about to run over, he looked back at Qiu Yunlan who was strolling in the courtyard, walking slowly like shopping, he simply grabbed his wrist and led him forward.

I am full of autumn wind, relaxed and at ease.

The two flying boys attracted the attention of others, who were amazed by their appearance and envied their freedom and joy.

Qiu Chen smiled at his aunt, and joked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that we will run away?"

Lin Ting sat down in the vacated seat, and Qiu Yunlan sat next to him.

"No, I'm just too hungry. After a day of exams, not only my brain can't move, but my stomach is also empty." Lin Ting couldn't wait to take the oil-stained menu and looked carefully.

Feng Chen yelled angrily, "It's nice not to have to take the exam."

Lin Ting smiled and said, "You guys are really comfortable training talents, and you don't have any lessons."

Lin Ting also has a certain understanding of Feng Chen's school after experiencing the merger of the two schools last time.

Yan Qihao sneered and said, "There are too many pickles."

It was rare for Feng Chen not to get angry with him, and nodded in agreement.

"How did you deal with that group of people last time?" Qiu Yunlan asked suddenly.

Feng Chen held his breath and said: "Oh, you said that time in Jinchi, the leader of that group was the son of a nouveau riche with a bit of family background, he had no skills, and the rest were tied up, so it's no wonder they didn't know us , transferred the monitoring and sent it to the bureau, and recently cracked down hard, otherwise what can I do?"

"What's the matter?" Qiu Chen asked.

Feng Chen told her the whole process, but skipped the embarrassing part.

Several people took turns ordering food while chatting, and Lin Ting found that there was still this bench next to Yu Xiao.

"Is this position not withdrawn? There is no one else."

Qiu Chen shook his head and said, "Luo Yin will come later, don't withdraw."

Lin Ting nodded.

Luo Yin is their squad leader, and has a very good relationship with Qiu Chen and the others. It is said that they grew up together.

She is a girl who is not stunning but attractive. She is delicate and petite, and she speaks very softly. Lin Ting has a good impression of her, but she didn't observe too much because she is a girl after all.

As soon as the food was served, Luo Yin came.

"The teacher just asked me to go to the office. I know I'm going to have dinner with you, so let me bring this to you." Luo Yin handed Qiu Yunlan and Yu Xiao a dozen documents, sat next to Yu Xiao, and suddenly felt awkward.

Qiu Yunlan nodded and took it, opened it and glanced at it, then put the schoolbag away.

Lin Ting asked habitually, "What?"

Qiu Yunlan replied truthfully: "Some information about the math competition."

"Are you going to compete?"

"Look again."

"Why do you want to watch it again?" Lin Ting was puzzled. It's a competition, and there's nothing wrong with participating in it.

"Because it's a waste of time." Qiu Yunlan didn't feel that he needed to be admitted, and he wanted to accompany Lin Ting to take the college entrance examination.

"The competition is very troublesome. You have to close the training or something." Yan Qihao took a bunch of crispy bones, "Qiu Yunlan doesn't like to play with these things."

Just as Lin Ting was about to continue, Luo Yin jumped ahead of him.

"Then do you want to participate?"

He thought Luo Yin was asking Qiu Yunlan, but when he looked up, he found that this question was from Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao nodded, "Participate in..."

Luo Yin seemed a little reluctant, and said reluctantly, "Why?"

Yu Xiao frowned and glanced at her, as if thinking that she was meddling, "No reason."

"Oh." Luo Yin lowered his head somewhat disappointed.

Qiu Chen came out to smooth things over, "It's a good thing to participate. You don't need to prepare for the college entrance examination if you get a recommended spot. The college entrance examination is so tiring. I believe that Yu Xiao's grades will definitely pass the exam."

Yan Qihao also hurriedly said: "That's right, our Brother Xiao usually doesn't like to compete for grades, and we just take the exam for fun."

Yu Xiao is indeed this kind of person, and he doesn't worry about taking the exam if it is not an important level.

Feng Chen: "Stop talking about this, eat and eat."

Lin Ting blinked, thoughtfully.

-

The results of the monthly exam will come out soon. Lin Ting is quite confident about himself this time, but he doesn't dare to read it.

"Qiu Yunlan, help me go and have a look." Lin Ting took a pen and drew chaotic lines on the sketchbook of love, which showed how nervous he was.

"Okay." Qiu Yunlan was actually a little nervous, and almost tripped when she got up.

He gave Lin Ting extra lessons every day, but he didn't know if it would work. Even if it did, the top students in this class were very fierce. He couldn't guarantee that Lin Ting would be able to make it into the top [-].

"Or, forget it?" Lin Ting muffled: "I, I'd better go by myself."

"It's okay, wait for me obediently." Qiu Yunlan patted his shoulder and went out.

This was the first time he went out to check the rankings. He didn't care about it before, but now that he has weaknesses and concerns, things are subtly changing.

There were many people crowded in front of the red list, Qiu Yunlan didn't go in, so she stood on the outside and took advantage of her height to check.

As soon as he came, he attracted the attention of many people, and the crowd immediately started whispering.

Qiu Yunlan didn't even care much, and now he only cares about Lin Ting's ranking.

He still knew how much Lin Ting weighed, so he looked down directly from 55.

55. Liu Xiaoxiao;

56. Lu Xuexue;

57. Wang Lu;

58. Zheng Ziyan;

59. Zhang Li;

60. Chen Xiaoyi;

61. Lin Ting;

Just one...

All expectations are shattered at this moment.

"How is it?" Lin Ting asked Qiu Yunlan expectantly.

Facing his expression like this, Qiu Yunlan couldn't speak at all.

"Lin Ting, you stayed!" Yan Qihao hurried over like the cavalrymen who announced the good news to the emperor.

"Really?" Lin Ting was full of surprise, "Am I in the top [-]?"

Qiu Yunlan also looked at Yan Qihao in surprise.

"No, 61."

"Then why did I stay?"

"Someone in the top [-] is no longer in the top [-], so you're in the top [-]."

When Qiu Yunlan heard these words, she felt as if she was about to drown, she suddenly grabbed a floating board, raised her head, oxygen was poured into her lungs, and she relaxed easily.

He no longer had to face Lin Ting's disappointed eyes and expression.

But when he turned his head, what he saw was Lin Ting's expression of shock and depression.

Lin Ting asked with a strange expression: "Who is not going?"

"Lu Xuexue, I heard in the office that he just dropped out of school."

Lin Ting's eyes widened, "Why?"

Why did the boy who sat in front of him chatting and gossiping every exam suddenly drop out of school?

Yan Qihao shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems to be due to family reasons, so I didn't elaborate."

Lin Ting was silent.

Qiu Yunlan suddenly felt that she was a little too sympathetic and unlucky. Hearing that Lin Ting came up because someone else quit, she was very happy and relaxed.

"What's wrong?" Yan Qihao was a little puzzled when he saw their expressions became serious.

Lin Ting shook his head and lay down on the table.

Qiu Yunlan sat back in her seat at a loss and looked at Lin Ting.

Seeing that they ignored him, Yan Qihao shrugged and returned to his seat.

Lu Xuexue left, not even taking his books and stationery with him.

The sunny boy who always had a smile on his face suddenly disappeared into their world.

A new person was moved to the seat, and Guo Nan kept Lu's pedantic things and put them in a corner of the class.

Guo Nan didn't explain the reason for Lu Xuexue's departure, as if he left in different classes, letting time and silence wash away.

Life was still going on as usual, and the rest of the students felt that it was normal, and there was no discussion or commotion because of Lu Xuexue's departure.

Lin Ting is not in the mood sometimes, he has few friends, even though he is not that close to Lu Xuejiao, he still feels a little empty.

One night, he suddenly grabbed Qiu Yunlan's hand, raised his head and asked him.

"Why doesn't Xuexue go to school?"

This question has been held in his mind for half a month, and he always feels as if he has snatched Lu Xuejiao's position.
