Tuo Fengfeng has lived in a family of "intellectuals" who value education and understand etiquette since he was a child.

Dad was a high school teacher in one of the best middle schools in the provincial city, but Mom and Dad took the teacher exam together but failed, and now they can only be a primary school teacher in a township primary school.

The two lived separately because of work, and only during the holidays did his mother take him to the provincial capital to see his father.

In his eyes, the relationship between his parents is always tepid and respectful. But when he grew up, he realized that it was called coldness.

He grew up fast, and most boys only jumped tall in high school, but he jumped to 1.68 meters tall in his first year of junior high school.

There is less stubbornness of rural children, who are always bored and do homework at home, so their skin is whiter than that of ordinary boys.

But that doesn't hide the fact that he's not good-looking. Because he was so thin and his face looked very long, he had just been in junior high school for two weeks, and someone secretly nicknamed him "horse face".

Although he was angry, he didn't turn his face with the people in his class for this kind of thing, and he felt that it was a fact, and every time he looked in the mirror, he would pat his face in distress, and then try to eat more during meals.

However, it seems that the nutrients eaten only grow tall and do not grow meat. And these little things, he is always ashamed to mention to his parents, and almost, he has never talked to his parents about things other than studying.

He thinks that all families are like this, and everyone's relationship is as plain as water.

It wasn't until he met her that he realized that his heart and blood could boil and burn.

In such a small township middle school, Tuo Lifeng is undoubtedly excellent. His grades have never fallen out of the top three in the class, and because of his family, he is also gentler and cleaner than the average boy.

His mother had a teacher's house in the primary school, and he lived with his mother wherever he lived, which was only 10 minutes away from the middle school.

And the students who live in the school can only go back once a week, so they naturally envy him.

Although he was tall, he had no athletic talent. When he was in physical education class, he was assigned by the teacher to play basketball with boys in other classes because of his height, but he didn't even know the rules of playing basketball.

It is conceivable that he has become a laggard in the class. The boys, who were a head shorter than him, grabbed the ball and dribbled with ease, hurdled in three steps, and scored goals. Then the girls cheered.

The sun was dazzling, and he had never been so embarrassed.

After losing the game, Zou Jun, the main player in the class, angrily accused him of being a vase that only knew how to grow tall.

Hu Xiaoling, a member of the study committee, excused her: "He has never played basketball to be like this, and losing the game is not his problem." ”

Zou Jun became even more angry after hearing this, usually he is more popular than himself, and now he finally has a strength that surpasses him, of course he will not let it go, plus the girls in the class speak for him, he has to prove that he is right.

"I've never eaten pork and I haven't seen a pig run! Didn't you see the look of helplessness when he got the ball? I don't think I'm athletic at all. The teacher's son is really a nerd who only knows how to study. ”

He didn't refute, just walked away silently, but his ears were full of humiliating red.

He felt that it was useless to refute, the facts were in front of him, and he was indeed at a loss, and for the first time he had that sense of failure without control of a thing.

But he also secretly made up his mind that he must improve his basketball skills.

At the age of fourteen, he already knows what it means to love face and self-esteem. He often finishes the knowledge he wants to learn at the beginning of the school year in advance during the winter and summer vacations, and he can ask his parents if he can't, so every time he goes to school, it is a review for him.

He only needs to listen to the class once, and then complete the homework on time, and the exam is guaranteed to be at the top. Classmates secretly discussed that he had a high IQ and a knack for forgetting, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

He always accepted it silently, because it was what he deserved, but his efforts were not seen by others.

When you are a top student and are boasted about too many times, you naturally can't stand any shortcomings in yourself.

He lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. For the first time, he pushed open the door of his mother's room and said to her, "Mom, you can buy me a basketball tomorrow."

His mother, Zhao Yizhi, is a middle-aged woman with glasses and curly hair. He was glad that he didn't inherit his mother's curly hair, otherwise he would have had more troubles.

Zhao Yizhi bought him a basketball the next day, after all, his son is obedient and good at studying, and it is not too much to ask him for something for the first time.

But she still told him: It's okay to play basketball and exercise when you're fine, but don't delay your studies.

He replied heartily, I know.

He was used to his mother's way, and it seemed that every sentence he said should be followed by a sentence not to delay his studies. Once when he came home for dinner, his mother also added a sentence: It's okay to eat, but don't delay your studies.

It really made him laugh and cry.

He didn't know what it would be like to study well, but he knew what would happen if he didn't study well. At least if he studies well, this family will always be calm, and he doesn't want to break this peace.

Watching some seniors play basketball, Tuo was eager to try it. But the basketball court has always been occupied by highly skilled people, and he didn't dare to make a fool of himself again, so he had to set an alarm clock for himself, get up an hour early every day, and go to the playground to play basketball.

It's easy for him to focus on one thing, hitting from 5 to 6 every day, although he is not boring alone. Instead, he fell in love with the sport and couldn't wait to impress at the next basketball tournament.

The young body has infinite possibilities, and he is more proud than those who go online at night and sleep during the day, and he gets up early to practice basketball.

He's always superior, he thinks.

That day, he suddenly had the interest of playing at three o'clock in the middle of the night, so he secretly walked to the playground with the basketball.

In front of the left side of the playground is the cafeteria, which has a dishwashing sink outside the cafeteria. Boarding students also fetch water and wash up there. But at this time, there should be no talent.

But he heard the sound of rushing water, and in the moonlight, he faintly saw a figure doing something in front of the sink.

His heart suddenly tightened, and he put the basketball behind his back, there won't be a ghost, right?

Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, he still walked over.

When he walked in, he dared to be sure that the girl in front of him was not a ghost, but his classmate.

Her hair was wet and apparently freshly rinsed with cold water. It was winter, and he felt cold when he played basketball, and she was wearing only a thin single coat, and her hair was washed with cold water, and her face was red from the cold, and it was a little puffy.

She was trembling, but her eyes were fixed on him defensively.

He recognized her as Zhang Yangji. But his impression of her has always been quiet, a quiet girl sitting in the back row, with middle grades but not enough to threaten himself. She is a rare well-behaved girl in the class, and it is also the focus of discussion among the boys.

He stared at her, a little unable to stand such a look, so he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

She didn't seem to intend to hide it from him, just quietly stated: I have allergies, itching uncomfortably, and rinsing with cold water can temporarily suppress the pain.

"Aren't you cold?" He asked, somewhat surprised.

"I'm not cold." Yang Ji hugged her arms tightly and said stiffly.

She shook and said that she was not cold, and Tuo Lifeng felt a little pity for her, and also didn't understand: "Then why don't you go to the doctor?" ”

"I, I'm fine, it's fine during the day. Now that everyone is asleep, I can't bother the teacher. She was a little cramped, as if she was hiding something. But he didn't know.

He continued: That can't be like this, you can go and see it when it is dawn, go to the hospital and prescribe some medicine or something, otherwise it will be too scary.

Yang Ji bit her lower lip, she couldn't tell him that I didn't have the money to go to the doctor. Although they were classmates, they had not spoken a word before.

She's fragile now, but he's not anyone, not even a friend.

"No, I'm better, I'm going to sleep." She smiled wryly and walked towards the girls' dormitory.

Tuo Lifeng watched her leave blankly, and suddenly felt that her back was desolate and stubborn. Stubborn enough to disguise with all his strength.

He was disinterested after two or three basketball hits, and he always felt that he should do something for her. in order to appear less cold-blooded.

When he went out to buy breakfast, he ran to the pharmacy and asked the doctor what medicine to buy if he had allergies. It's red and swollen in the middle of the night, and it's itchy and painful.

The doctor looked at him and said very seriously: It depends on the specific condition, if it is not serious, you can take some medicine, if it is very serious, you have to find the allergen Yunyun.

He thought it shouldn't be very serious, so he asked the doctor to buy some allergy medicine.

Then he ran to the classroom, pretended to go to the back row inadvertently, and threw the medicine into Zhang Yangji's desk.

The reason why he is so cautious is that he is afraid that others will misunderstand.

The township middle school where he is located is notoriously strict in its rules, its teaching style is feudal and barbaric, and corporal punishment of students is even more sparse and commonplace.

And in the face of many school rules, the prohibition of early love is in the first place.

A couple was found on a date a few days ago, and the principal personally talked to them, both men and women were criticized in front of the whole school, and the boys were even more pitiful, and their heads were pressed in the trash.

There are resistances, but students who resist are basically expelled from school, or they are beaten by the teachers who join forces to convince them.

Later, when he became a lawyer, he was still angry when he thought of this, and he was completely educated by hooligans who had no knowledge of law, but at that time, they were accustomed to these rough educations, and most of them were obedient.

But as the saying goes, the more things you suppress, the more curious others are, and the more they will do it, as far as he knows, there are still several pairs in the class who are having underground romances.

And they are in the period of youth and ignorance, and a little more interaction between boys and girls will be considered unusual, and he doesn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to both parties.
