Dad, please try harder

This much is certain: the chirping of cicadas in the trees increased his anxiety and nervousness before his confession.

After receiving the admission notice from Haidong Normal University, he decided to officially confess his love to Song Xi, the class beauty he had been secretly in love with for three years.

But before that, he was going to ask his classmate and hairdresser Ding Linlang to do a little favor: "Linlang, I would like to ask you to judge whether my confession is feasible from a girl's point of view."

On a summer afternoon, the campus of Huai No. 1 Middle School is sunny and hot, and the tall ginkgo trees look at the silent Jingshan Mountain in the distance.

Ding Linlang, who is wearing a blue T-shirt, white sweatpants, a pair of aj11 Kang buckles, has short hair all year round, and has an expression on her face that says "You can tell whether I am a male or a female" is concise and concise: "Speaking of which

Listen."

He pondered for a while and said with deep affection: "Song Xi, there is something I have hidden in my heart for three years. I was afraid of delaying your studies, so I never said it. Today I have to muster up the courage to tell you - I like you.

!”

When Ding Linlang heard this, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Can you be more serious?"

"Ok, ok, I can hold back, you continue."

He adjusted slightly and continued: "In addition, let me tell you another good news. I have received the admission notice from Haidong Normal University. Do you know why I chose Haidong Normal University? Because I have known it since I was a freshman in high school.

Your dream university is Zhonghai International Studies University, and the city you yearn for is Zhonghai. In fact, my dream university is Nankai, but in order to go to the same city as you, I gave up..."

"Stop it first. Didn't you give up on Nankai because you didn't have enough points?" Ding Linlang glanced at him sideways and exposed it on the spot.

"Don't interrupt!" He stopped angrily.

"My, my..." Ding Linlang raised his hands to signal that he would stop causing trouble.

He paused and continued to rehearse his confession lines: "For you, I gave up my dream, because in my heart, you are a higher priority dream, so Song Xi, are you willing to be my girlfriend? If so,

Just nod your head, and if you don't want to, just recite "Li Sao" in its entirety."

"Emperor Gaoyang is a descendant of Miao. My emperor is called Boyong..." Ding Linlang did not hesitate.

"Ding Linlang!" he shouted again.

Ding Linlang laughed loudly and said: "Qian Quan, Qian Quan, don't you know that this kind of smart confession is ineffective for a graduate who has just finished the college entrance examination?

"Our current knowledge reserve is at the peak stage of life. We can say that we know astronomy and geography. In the middle, we can also find analytical expressions of functions, speak English, and memorize ancient texts without following them.

Just for fun...you can wait until we have been in college for a few years before using this trick."

Qian Quan sighed: "Forget it, let's just write a love letter."

"No, it's faster to confess to a girl. Maybe it was because you called me another girl's name just now, and I didn't feel like you were involved. Now try calling my name to confess, and I'll feel it again."

"I confessed to you by calling your name. Don't you think the scene is a bit too philosophical? It's like playing "Happy Together" or "Brokeback Mountain"..."

There is no way, Qian Quan has never treated Ding Linlang as a girl since she was a child.

Although she has fair skin and beautiful facial features, she has short hair, drinks beer, whistles, and plays basketball. Most importantly, she is open-minded and approachable, and her chest does not rise even when she is angry. She is known as Wu Meiniang's little girl and Li Longji's little girl.

From elementary school to high school, Qian Quan helped countless female classmates pass love letters to her.

Especially in her second year of junior high school, a female classmate in the class copied her half-semester lecture notes. Finally, she learned that she was also a girl. She was in a daze for a whole week. It is said that her pillow was wet from crying that night.

Asking Qian Quan to confess his love to her is really a stronghold of a man.

"Haha, that's true. You'd better write a love letter. At worst, I'll polish it up for you." Ding Linlang looked at Qian Quan with a half-smile.

"That's pretty much it."

Qian Quan is still very convinced of Ding Linlang's literary talent. After all, he won the second prize in the New Concept Essay Contest, and this year he was admitted to the Chinese Department of Fudan University with excellent results.

In addition, Qian Quan also knew a little secret about Ding Linlang. She had been secretly writing pure love novels on Citong.com under the pen name "Manmu Linlang" and had even been on the gold list.

After learning this secret, Qian Quan did not expose her, but immediately registered a trumpet account and infiltrated her reader group. He acted as a strict, picky but loyal reader in the group, and often found fault with the author and caught bugs.

With encouragement, he unexpectedly became an administrator.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The students came to school one after another.

Today, the students of Grade 3 (2) class are going to hold a thank you banquet at the Zhuangyuan Building near the school. We have made an appointment to meet at the school and then go there together.

This teacher-appreciation banquet is an old tradition of Wanghuai No. 1 Middle School. On the one hand, it is for everyone to have a break-up meal together and say goodbye. On the other hand, it is also to prevent students from having to run to each other to become teachers for their studies.

Seeing other people coming, Ding Linlang returned to his usual cold and aloof state.

Qian Quan greeted everyone with a smile, his eyes searching for Song Xi's figure intentionally or unintentionally.

"One for each person."

At this time, sports committee member Luo Hu came over with a lot of balloons in his hands and started throwing balloons at everyone he saw.

"Do you want to bring balloons over today?" Qian Quan asked with a smile.

"No, this is another activity. You will find out later. If you do as I say, you will get a big red envelope afterwards." Luo Hu said.

When they heard there were red envelopes, everyone became more positive.

After a while, everyone held a balloon in their hands, which was fluttering gently in the wind. It was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and colorful under the sun.

"Now let's stand in two rows." Luo Hu directed.

Everyone stood still as told with curiosity on their faces.

Luo Hu took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

The next second.

A brand new black BMW slowly drove in from the door and stopped steadily at the front of the queue.

Then, everyone saw classmate Sun Shaokang getting out of the car.

"Handsome!" Luo Hu took the lead in cheering.

Sun Shaokang waved to everyone coolly, walked to the passenger door, opened the door, and in full view of everyone, reached out and took down a beautiful girl wearing a white dress with flowing long hair.

Song Xi!

Qian Quan's expression changed.

Immediately, he watched Sun Shaokang and Song Xi walking towards this side hand in hand.

"Wow--" The students burst into gossip-like noises.

Qian Quan was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on his head, and he was as stunned as an ice sculpture.

Soon, Sun Shaokang and Song Xi walked up to him.

Stopped.

The eyes of many classmates who knew Qian Quan's secret crush on Song Xi suddenly lit up, revealing a stern look.

"Qian Quan, why do you look a little unhappy?" Sun Shaokang asked with interest.

"Oh, I'm fine." Qian Quan forced a smile and shook the green balloon in his hand.

"It's fine," Sun Shaokang nodded seemingly concerned, then looked at Song Xi, "By the way, Song Xi, didn't you say you had something to give back to Qian Quan?"

"Yeah." Song Xi responded, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Qian Quan, "Qian Quan, this is the message you left on my classmate list. I feel... it's not appropriate. I'll return it today.

for you."

Qian Quan was stunned.

Sun Shaokang on the side smiled and said: "You won't forget what you wrote, right? It's a poem, something like 'The sun has gone down, I am your fishing boat, your anchor', do you remember it?"

Qian Quan didn't answer and took the paper.

"I have a thing to say, your poem is quite artistic. If you write it to other girls in college in the future, you might be able to deceive some ignorant girl. Haha, just kidding... Actually, I just want to tell you, Song

Xi, it’s enough for her to have my car, she doesn’t need your boat and anchor, okay?”

Sun Shaokang said, patting Qian Quan's shoulder in a friendly manner, "Be happy, today is a good day."

Bang!

A balloon burst.

Everyone was shocked.

Ding Linlang, standing next to Qian Quan, said expressionlessly: "Is it necessary for you to do this?"

"What?" Sun Shaokang asked.

Ding Linlang didn't even look at him, but stepped forward and pulled Qian Quan: "Let's go."

Qian Quan and Ding Linlang left together.

"I will hand out red envelopes in the group later, don't forget to take them!" Sun Shaokang shouted towards the backs of the two of them.

Ding Linlang dragged Qian Quan out of the school gate and went all the way up Jingshan Mountain to Bianhe Cave.

"Go home directly?" Ding Linlang asked.

"No need." Qian Quan looked into the distance.

Ding Linlang stopped talking.

After a long time, Ding Linlang suddenly said to himself:

"She's not a heroine."

"Um?"

"I said Song Xi, she is not your heroine, and she does not have the temperament of a heroine."

Qian Quan smiled, he knew why Ding Linlang said that, because she is a novelist.

"But you still need to say goodbye to this relationship properly. Don't be decadent or give up on yourself. Just wave goodbye and wait three to five years before looking back."

"Yes." Qian Quan nodded, "Don't worry, I, Qian Quan, have great ambitions and will not be helpless for such a girl."

Ding Linlang smiled happily and said with emotion: "The world is like this. Some people desperately want to go to the Magic City, while some people are born in the Magic City. After all, reincarnation is also a technical job. If we want to get ahead, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Yes, we can only rely on ourselves." Qian Quan agreed.

[Ding~ The condition is triggered successfully, the system detects a suitable host in this universe, and starts matching...]

A mechanically synthesized voice suddenly sounded in Qian Quan's mind, shocking him.

[The match is successful! The ‘Tiger Father Dogless Subsystem’ is activated and will be bound to the host soon...]

Qian Quan: What the hell???
