Dad, please try harder

Chapter 1 The day they announced their romance, I was holding a balloon

This is unmistakable: the chirping of cicadas in the trees adds to the restlessness and tension before his confession.

After receiving the admission letter from Haidong Normal University, he decided to formally confess his love to Song Xi, the class flower who had been in love with him for three years.

But before that, he was going to ask his classmate and co-poster Xiao Ding Linlang to do a little favor: "Linlang, I want you to judge from a girl's point of view whether my confession skills will work or not."

On a summer afternoon, the campus of Wanghuai No. [-] Middle School is sunny and hot, and the tall ginkgo trees look far away at the silent Jingshan Mountain.

Wearing a blue T-shirt, white sweatpants, wearing a pair of AJ11 buckles, and wearing short hair all the year round, Ding Linlang, who always has the expression of "An Neng can tell whether I am male or female" on her face, said succinctly: "Speaking of it, Listen."

He pondered for a while, and said affectionately: "Song Xi, there is a sentence that I have kept in my heart for three years. I didn't say it before because I was afraid of delaying your studies. Today I want to muster up the courage to tell you—I, I like you." !"

When Ding Linlang heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Can you be serious?"

"OK, OK, I hold back, you continue."

He made some adjustments and continued: "Besides, I want to tell you another piece of good news. I have already received the admission letter from Haidong Normal University. Do you know why I chose Haidong Normal University? Because, I have known since the first year of high school. The university you dream of is China 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 revealed it on the spot.

"Don't interrupt!" He stopped angrily.

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

He paused and continued to practice his confession lines: "For you, I gave up my dream, because in my heart, you are a dream with higher priority, so Song Xi, would you like to be my girlfriend? If you do, You just nod your head, and if you don’t want to, you can recite the whole text of "Li Sao"."

"The descendants of Emperor Gaoyang, my emperor called him Boyong..." Ding Linlang didn't hesitate.

"Ding Linlang!" He stopped again.

Ding Linlang laughed loudly, and said, "Qian Quan, Qian Quan, don't you know that this kind of clever confession is ineffective for a graduate who just finished the college entrance examination?
"Our current knowledge reserve is at the peak stage of life. It can be said that we know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom.

It's like playing... You have to wait for us to go to college for a few years before using this trick. "

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

"Don't, chasing girls is still quicker to confess. It may be because you called me another girl's name just now. I didn't have a sense of substitution. Now try to confess by calling me by my name, and I will feel it again."

"I confessed to you and called you by name, don't you think that scene is too philosophical? It seems to be acting "Happy Together" or "Brokeback Mountain"..."

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

Although she has fair skin and handsome facial features, she wears short hair, drinks beer, whistles, plays basketball, and most importantly, she is open-minded and approachable, and her chest does not rise and fall even when she is angry.

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

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

Letting Qian Quan confess to her is really a strong man's lock.

"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.

"It's almost there."

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

In addition, Qian Quan also knows a little secret of Ding Linlang, she has been secretly writing pure love novels on the citong.com under the pseudonym of "Manmu Linlang", and has even been on the gold list.

After learning of this secret, Qian Quan did not expose her, but immediately registered a small account and sneaked into her reader group, playing the role of a strict, critical and loyal reader in the group, often picking thorns and catching bugs for the author He encouraged me, but unexpectedly became an administrator.

Three in the afternoon.

The students came to the school one after another.

Today, the students in Class 2 (Grade [-]) are going to hold a teacher appreciation banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building near the school. Everyone makes an appointment to meet at the school and then go there together.

This teacher appreciation banquet is an old tradition in Wanghuai No. [-] Middle School. On the one hand, everyone has a break-up meal together to say goodbye, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the students from going to school alone and the teacher running away from house to house.

Seeing other people coming, Ding Linlang returned to his usual state of aloofness and rejection of others thousands of miles away.

Qian Quan greeted everyone with a smile, his eyes searching for Song Xi consciously or unconsciously.

"One per person."

At this time, Luo Hu, the sports committee member, came over with a bunch of balloons in his hands, and he would send them out whenever he saw them.

"Are you going to bring balloons there today?" Qian Quan asked with a smile.

"No, this is another event, you will know later, everyone do as I said, and there will be a big red envelope afterwards." Luo Hu said.

Hearing that there are red envelopes, everyone is more active.

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

"Now we stand in two rows." Luo Hu directed.

Everyone stood up with curiosity on their faces.

Luo Hu took out his phone and sent a message.

next second.

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

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

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

Sun Shaokang waved at everyone gracefully, walked to the front of the co-pilot, opened the car door, and stretched out his hand to lead a beautiful girl in a white dress with fluttering hair under the eyes of everyone.

Song Xi!

Qian Quan's expression changed.

Immediately, he watched helplessly as Sun Shaokang and Song Xi walked towards this side holding hands.

"Wow——" the students burst into a gossip-like noise.

Qian Quan felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, and he froze like an ice sculpture.

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

stopped.

The eyes of many students who knew about Qian Quan's secret love for Song Xi suddenly lit up, revealing a stare.

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

"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 again, "By the way, Song Xi, didn't you say that you have something to return to Qian Quan?"

"En." Song Xi responded, took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Qian Quan, "Qian Quan, this is what you wrote in my classmate record, I don't think it's appropriate, I'll return it today for you."

Qian Quan was dumbfounded.

Sun Shaokang on the side smiled and said, "You won't forget what you wrote, right? It's just a poem, 'The sun goes down, I am your fishing boat, your anchor', remember?"

Qian Quan didn't answer, but took the paper.

"One thing to say, this poem of yours is quite artistic. In the future, when you go to university and write it to other girls, it may really make you fool some ignorant girl. Haha, just kidding... Actually, I just want to tell you, Song It's enough for Xi to have my car, and you don't need your boat and anchor, okay?"

As Sun Shaokang said, he patted Qian Quan on the shoulder in a friendly manner, "Be happy, today is a good day."

Bang!
A balloon blew up.

Everyone was taken aback.

Ding Linlang, who was 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, and stepped forward to pull Qian Quan: "Let's go."

Qian Quan and Ding Linlang left together.

"Don't forget to collect the red envelopes I will distribute in the group later!" Sun Shaokang shouted to the back of the two.

Ding Linlang dragged Qian Quan out of the school gate, up Jingshan Mountain, and arrived at Bianhe Cave.

"Go home directly?" Ding Linlang asked.

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

Ding Linlang also stopped talking.

After a long time, Ding Linlang suddenly said to himself:
"She's not a heroine."

"Ok?"

"I said Song Xi, she is not your heroine, nor does she have the temperament of a heroine."

Qian Quan laughed, he knew why Ding Linlang said that, because she was a novelist.

"But you still need to bid farewell to this relationship. Don't be decadent, don't give up on yourself, wave goodbye, wait three to five years and then look back."

"Hmm." Qian Quan nodded, "Don't worry, I, Qian Quan, have great ambitions, and I won't be devastated by such a girl."

Ding Linlang smiled gratifiedly, and said with emotion: "This world is like this. Some people desperately want to go to the magic city, and some people were born in the magic city. After all, reincarnation is also a skill. If we want to get ahead, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Yeah, 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 to match...]

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

[Matching successful! The 'Tiger Father No Dog Subsystem' is activated and is about to be bound to the host...]

Qian Quan: What is it? ? ?
