Chapter 326 Say Goodbye to Friends Before Leaving

The last week? On the way home, Lin Tian kept recalling what He Zhichen said.

Although he was mentally prepared, when the Longqin Cup was really right in front of him, Lin Tian still didn't feel it was real.

Suddenly, I felt like, “Ah? It’s coming?”

Not knowing what to do.

——There was not even a moment to relax over the end of the college entrance examination, as the national competition was about to begin.

I just finished the college entrance examination, and I haven’t prepared myself mentally yet, but I have to immediately plunge into the next important event.

No matter how strong a person is, he can't withstand such a construction!

He Zhichen told the two of them.

The journey of the Longqin Cup may take a very long time.

We will leave for Baijing next week and after two weeks of preparation, we will start the competition from mid-July to the end of September.

A full two months, with a total of three stages.

After all, it is the Longqin Cup.

The intensity at that time will definitely be incomparable to any previous competition.

During these two months, if nothing unexpected happens, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu will have to stay in Baijing, and all their training, food and accommodation will be done there.

Of course, the interval between each stage is actually quite long.

If you want to go back to Qingzhou midway, you can actually do so.

However, if the training intensity is very high at that time, I probably won’t have the energy to run back and forth.

“.”

Just thinking about it makes me feel stressed.

Lin Tian felt that the main reason was the fear of the unknown.

After all, he is also a human being, he has to think, and he will get tired sometimes.

After the college entrance examination.

The uncertainty of the unknown city, unknown opponents, and unknown competition made Lin Tiangan feel tired and nervous.

“.”

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu.

The sadness on the girl's face proved that her thoughts were the same as Lin Tian's.

Gan Yanyu has never been someone who can handle pressure well.

The college entrance examination is over, and Gan Yanyu is probably almost exhausted.

Now suddenly tell her this.

I'm afraid, at this time, there was only one thought left in the girl's mind: - Xiao Gan doesn't know, Xiao Gan wants to sleep.

"I'm going back to bed."

Back at the bottom of the apartment building, Gan Yanyu whispered to Lin Tian.

"Well, have a good rest."

The college entrance examination review during this period made Gan Yanyu develop the habit of taking naps.

As soon as the time comes, I feel sleepy immediately. If I don’t sleep, I will feel listless for the whole afternoon.

However, the two did not do anything the whole morning, except having a meal with He Zhichen. Xiao Gan's current sleepiness was probably caused more by the news of the upcoming Longqin Cup.

You know what, Lin Tian was also sleepy.

The human body's mechanism is so amazing.

If you do nothing throughout the whole day and just focus on playing games and browsing your phone, you actually won’t feel sleepy at all.

But if an "unfinished" task suddenly appears in my mind, and I think about having to do some homework or work in a while, I will become extremely sleepy, and I will have no motivation at all if I don't catch up on some sleep.

"I'm going out for dinner this afternoon. You should have a good rest. We'll go to the hospital to see grandpa together in the evening."

Lin Tian said.

This is also what He Zhichen told them.

Because this trip will last for two and a half months, and even if both of them get good results in the college entrance examination, by the time the competition is over, the university will be almost started, and they will have to pack up for a while before leaving again.

Therefore, He Zhichen asked the two to spend some time with their family during this period. However, after saying the word "family", He Zhichen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and changed it to "friends". In any case, they must go and see the old man again before leaving.

"Uh-huh."

Gan Yanyu yawned, nodded in response to Lin Tian's words, waved his hand, and staggered towards the apartment building.

In this state - climbing to the sixth floor? Lin Tian was a little horrified. He was so sleepy, it seemed that the pressure was not a little bit great.

“.”

However, at this time, Lin Tian had no time to care about Gan Yanyu.

After returning home and taking a short rest, Lin Tian changed his clothes and went out again.

Before going to Baijing, he also had someone he wanted to meet up with.

“How did you choose this restaurant?”

Xu Yong looked around and watched the waiters coming and going, and he always felt uncomfortable.

This place is none other than a tea restaurant called "SWING" located one street away from Qingzhou No. 7 Middle School.

This is where Lin Tian and Xu Yong used to work.

"I've been working here for so long, but I've never eaten anything here."

Lin Tian smiled and handed the menu to Xu Yong, "You order, it's my treat today."

"Fuck, you are so heroic, Brother Tian!"

Hearing this, Xu Yong immediately perked up, "Is this the man who is going to be the master of Beijing? Then I'm going to give you a good meal!"

“.”

This was the first time Lin Tian and Xu Yong met after the college entrance examination.

How should I put it? When we shed our high school student identities and met again, the feeling suddenly became different.

Although it still has a fragrant taste, it sounds very friendly.

It’s no wonder that in this world, the only person who can exchange trash talk with Lin Tian like this is Xu Yong.

It must be admitted.

Xu Yong and Lin Tian are no longer from the same world.

Although the two sat at the same table for three years in high school and had a deep friendship, these things would lose their meaning after graduating from high school as the two went their separate ways.

Lin Tian still has feelings for this deskmate.

When Lin Tian lived alone in his early years, Xu Yong, who knew Lin Tian's family situation, helped Lin Tian a lot.

Don't be fooled by his rudeness.

This guy would often talk trash while going out to eat with Lin Tian. Whenever he encountered a large bill, he would secretly pay the bill and then come to Lin Tian with a smug look on his face and call himself his godfather.

When Lin Tian first wanted to borrow money to buy a piano.

Xu Yong hesitated for only a moment before he prepared to take out the eight thousand yuan that he had originally intended to use to buy a game console.

Although the loan was not successful, it was enough to show that there was absolutely no problem in being friends with Xu Yong.

This is also why Lin Tian and Xu Yong can no longer play in the same circle, but they still keep in touch from time to time.

For Lin Tian, ​​he is a very nostalgic person.

Uncle Gan is just a neighbor of his, but because he is very kind to Lin Tian, ​​even if Gan Yanyu is not around, he still has deep feelings for him.

It can even be said that if it weren't for the feelings I had for my uncle.

Lin Tian, ​​who never liked to interfere with other people's "life and death", would not rush to the rooftop without hesitation to save his granddaughter that night.

“.”

Now,

After this farewell, Lin Tian went to Baijing, and the two went their separate ways.

It is likely that I will not have much contact with Xu Yong anymore.

Lin Tian was afraid that he would never have anyone to talk trash to again.

From now on, I can only be a "great musician with graceful manners and elegance" in people's eyes!

It’s a bit regrettable when I think about it!

Lin Tian looked at Xu Yong and sighed:

"Xu Yong, am I going to fuck you to death?"

"????"

Xu Yong's eyes popped out.

"What are you crazy about? Why are you scolding me for no reason?"

"It's okay, I just want to curse a little."

"You and him."

Xu Yong was about to curse, but when he glanced at the menu in his hand,

"Forget it, since you treated me to a meal, why not give me some fucks?"

"???"

This time it was Lin Tian's turn to ask a question.

After a while, the dishes were slowly served.

Lin Tian ordered pork chop rice. As the best-selling item in the store at the time, his most popular item was the pork chop rice, which cost 38 yuan per bowl.

What he was most curious about at the time was how the pork chop rice in this shabby tea restaurant could be sold for 38 yuan.

Until now, he finally had the chance to taste it himself.

Lin Tian scooped up a spoonful of pork chop covered with curry and put it into his mouth.

Take a bite and there is a "crunch" sound.

The texture of the deep-fried pork chop bursts in your mouth, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of curry fills your mouth.

“It’s really delicious.”

Lin Tian opened his eyes slightly and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

If this pork chop rice is sold for 16 yuan a bowl, Lin Tian will not hesitate to offer sincere praise of it as "the taste of heaven on earth".

However, it sells for 38.

“Not as good as Crazy Thursday today.”

Lin Tian could only comment like this.

Xu Yong, who was sitting opposite Lin Tian, ​​ordered the same set meal, but he didn't taste it so carefully.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He took a spoon, mixed the curry and rice together, and ate them all.

He seemed to enjoy the food more and more. It was a waste of talent that "SWING" didn't ask him to star in the commercial and instead let him be a waiter.

Just at this moment.

As if he had thought of something, Lin Tian asked:

"Where's Su Ran?"

"You ask me? I'm not her father."

"Isn't the bond between you two quite high?"

"Who is bound to her?"

Xu Yong said disdainfully, "I only know that she seems to have been making some handmade jewelry these past two days, intending to give it to Gan Yanyu as a parting gift."

"good."

Lin Tian remembered that Su Ran was a TikTok 2D blogger after all.

Lin Tian had learned about these people who were involved in the two-dimensional world in his previous life. They might not have other advantages, but they all had strong manual skills.

Things like making wigs, making props, changing clothes, etc. are basically standard settings for the old two-dimensional world.

Lin Tian has watched Su Ran’s videos. The quality of her costumes and props has always been very high. It seems that she probably made everything herself.

It is rare for a high school student to have such hands-on ability, and Su Ran should be one of the more talented people.

Universities can definitely develop in this direction in the future.

With such dexterous hands, it would be a pity if he didn't apply for a job in civil engineering to do plastering.

"By the way, did you guys still review together during the last few days before the college entrance exam?"

"yes."

"Huh? Didn't he say he was going to look for some classmate from the next class?"

Although Lin Tian was concentrating on doing the questions at that time, the fight between the two of them was quite loud, so he had a deep impression of this incident.

“No.”

At this point, Xu Yong was happy, "This guy then said that he didn't want to review with someone who was too handsome because it would distract him. He felt safer with someone like me."

"I'm really convinced. This guy really deserves to be scolded sometimes. You can't blame me entirely."

"Brother Yong."

Lin Tian interrupted Xu Yong, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Lin Tian, ​​who always considered himself to be emotionally slow, couldn't stand it anymore.

From their first chat in the classroom, to the time they confessed their love and gave flowers to each other in the hot pot restaurant, to their review for the college entrance examination.

To be honest, even a fool should be able to see that something is wrong here.

Although the two of them quarreled as soon as they met and used all kinds of nasty words to say to each other.

But most of the time, isn't the topic between the two of them just about caring about each other's performance? Even Lin Tian could see it!

On the surface, they are pure enemies.

In fact, if it wasn’t because of love, how could there be any god who would be willing to stay with someone who quarrels with him/her every day.

To some extent, the progress of their relationship is much faster than that of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

All that’s left is to break through that layer of window paper.

In fact, until now.

Before parting, if Lin Tian still had any unfinished regrets with this deskmate.

It was probably because he saw that Xu Yong and Su Ran could finally get married.

"You really didn't notice anything?"

Lin Tian couldn't help but ask.

“.”

The moment Lin Tian said this.

The air suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Xu Yong put down the spoon in his hand.

"Perhaps."

An indifferent voice came.

Lin Tian looked up and was surprised to find.

Xu Yong looked nonchalant from beginning to end and narrated the story in a mocking tone.

At this moment, his expression was serious, and there was a flash of imperceptible sadness in his eyes.

"You know me."

Xu Yong smiled self-deprecatingly.

Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned.

I remembered what Xu Yong was referring to.

In fact, although Xu Yong is lazy and sloppy every day, with a honeyed mouth, he often uses words like "rotten crotch" and has a misogynistic appearance in passionate arguments with female boxers on the Internet.

In fact, Lin Tian understood this guy's nature.

Deep down, he wanted more than anyone else to meet a simple and kind girl who would treat him well with all her heart, who would not fight, make trouble, or flirt, but would keep herself clean, be gentle and considerate, and who would give him a pillow on her knees when he was sad, tell him with a smile that it was okay, and save him from the abyss of insanity.

In fact, he is not unpopular.

It was the second half of the second year of high school, and a junior schoolmate from the same school confessed her love to Xu Yong.

However, after Xu Yong was silent for a long time, he said:

"Although I am happy that someone likes me, but for someone like me who is worthless and even I don't like myself, your standards are really low."

"I have low self-esteem, I'm sensitive and dramatic, and it's very tiring to get along with me. If we're really together, you'll definitely get fed up and leave. Instead of that, it's better to end it right from the beginning. People like me should be alone for the rest of their lives."

In the end, the matter came to nothing.

After being emo for a week, Xu Yong returned to his daily routine of trash-talking Lin Tian and arguing with female boxers online.

This is Xu Yong.

He was just a little boy in his teenage years who was inferior and cowardly.

“.”

"I have wondered if Su Ran really has any feelings towards me. Although she has a sharp tongue, she has always been nice to me."

"During the winter vacation, she often asked me out for various reasons. She gave me a gift on New Year's Eve, and she also spent a lot of time teaching me when I was reviewing for the college entrance examination."

"Actually, I know all of this. But, Brother Tian, ​​you know, I am the kind of person who cannot meet other people's expectations."

Xu Yong raised his head and gave Lin Tian a bitter smile. "A rat like me should go back to the sewer and live in my own world, browsing forums and playing games every day. I am already very satisfied with this kind of life."

"No matter what Su Ran thinks, whether she is really interested in me or not, it doesn't matter, because from the beginning, I couldn't have any history with her. The time we spent together was just a small memory left by two playful high school students at the end of their student days."

“.”

Lin Tian was silent.

He rarely saw Xu Yong so serious. The last time was when his junior schoolmate confessed to him in his second year of high school.

He wanted to say something, but felt there was no need.

Lin Tian wasn’t sure whether the consolation he offered at this time would be good or bad for him.

"The better she treats me, the more I don't want to hurt her. It will end up like that anyway, so why not end the story right from the beginning?"

Xu Yong said slowly.

The air was quiet here for ten seconds.

Then, Xu Yong raised his head and smiled again.

He stood up and punched Lin Tian on the shoulder.

"So, you are the one who deserves to die!"

"People like you deserve to have stories about your school days. People like me can just play supporting roles in other people's youth!"

"It's exaggerated." Lin Tian finally couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry about me. This is how my life will be. We will have few opportunities to meet in the future."

Xu Yong said,

"You, please focus on yourself. Can you try harder?"

"Tell me the truth - you don't really plan to win the world championship before being with Gan Yanyu, do you?"
