A Deep and Devoted Love

When Chen Shen was in the first grade of junior high school, Lin Zhi was also faced with the problem of the high school entrance examination. Her father wanted her to go to the first middle school. Although it was a bit risky, there was no problem in rushing. She got up early and went to bed late every day. Sometimes she forgot to turn off the desk lamp and fell asleep. In the morning, Lin Zhi and his deskmate went to the PE class on the playground. They walked around the classroom and walked back. Some lower grades were cleaning next to the garbage incineration house near the playground. Lin Zhi saw Chen Shen from a distance. I don't know when, he had grown a lot taller. His hair was neat and tidy, his face was particularly clean and delicate, and his lips and chin were sharp. His deskmate pulled Lin Zhi's hand and said, "Young handsome guy." Lin Zhi felt a little proud. This was her brother. They walked forward and were about to speak. There was a girl beside Chen Shen who didn't know what to ask. She was a little shy. Chen Shen's expression was still cold and even a little impatient. He turned around and saw Lin Zhi walking over. His face was softer in vain, "Lin Zhi, where are you going?" "Take physical education class, tell me if you know, big or small." Lin Zhi happened to walk up to him and whispered into his ear, "Xiao Chen Shen, does that Gu Liang like you? Don't be so cold. Although your most important thing now is your studies, sister, I am very open-minded. If you have any questions, please tell me." After saying that, he patted Chen Shen on the shoulder and didn't notice Chen Shen's frown. He continued to walk to the playground. Lin Zhi's deskmate shook Lin Zhi's hand vigorously. "Lin Zhi, is that your brother? Oh, he's so handsome. That's not right. Your surname is Lin, and his surname is Chen? One of you will follow your mother and one of you will follow your father?" Lin Zhi didn't comment, but smiled slightly and expressed his approval. They walked to the playground where they gathered. The 800-meter test for the high school entrance examination was a trivial matter for Lin Zhi. She could easily get full marks, but skipping was not her strong point. , But she could also get 90 points. After running 5 laps of the playground after school, Lin Zhi packed up his schoolbag and walked out. He met Datou when he passed the basketball court. "Datou, do you want to go home together?" Lin Zhi shouted to the tall man in the middle, and soon a man came over in anger. "Lin Zhi, don't call me Datou in school from now on, my name is Lin Haojie" "Okay, but I think the big head sounds better." Lin Zhi spread his hands beside him. "It doesn't sound good. My classmates still laughed to death when they heard it," Big Tou said angrily. "Okay, why don't you go home? You only play basketball every day. Can you pass the high school entrance examination with your grades?" Lin Zhi said earnestly next to him. In fact, Datou is not big, but his father's nickname is Datou, so everyone also calls him Datou. Even though his grades are not very good, he is proficient in all basketball sports, and he is tall and good-looking. He is said to be one of the male idols in his grade. This was said by Lin Zhi's classmate. Of course, I still prefer your younger brother. The last sentence of his classmate made Lin Zhi feel creepy. It seems that many people in their family, Chen Shen, are thinking about him. While he was scolding Da Tou, Chen Shen appeared at the right time and said, "Lin Zhi is home." Datou seemed to have seen the savior. He said sadly, "Chen Shen, you are here, take your sister away." Lin Zhi said unhappily, "What do you mean? I'm doing this for your own good. Do you want to hear it or not? Chen Shen, let's go." After saying that, he took Chen Shen a few steps forward. After thinking about it, he turned and shouted toward the basketball court, "Then I'm leaving, Da Tou." The last word was even longer, and then he and Chen Shen turned and walked towards the school gate, pretending not to hear the anger behind them. Picking up the bicycles, Chen Shen and Lin Zhi rode home. Now Chen Shen was taking Lin Zhi. At first, Lin Zhi still wanted to ride with Chen Shen. Later, Chen Shen was not happy, so he replaced Lin Zhi in the back. Chen Shen rode the car very steadily. He listened to Lin Zhi talking to him in the back seat, nodding from time to time, maybe because of his personality. Chen Shen didn't talk very much. Only when he was with Lin Zhi did he become a little boy, the little boy in Lin Zhi's heart. When filling in the application form, Lin Zhi filled in all the unified recruitment, orientation, and school selection for the No. 1 Middle School in the city. It is best to pass the unified recruitment. Even if it is not possible, he should get the orientation quota. If it doesn't work, he should pay 10,000 yuan. Anyway, Lin Zhi must go to the No. 1 Middle School in the city. His father's position is very firm on this. Datou was depressed for a long time when he knew that Lin Zhi was going to be admitted to the City No. 1 Middle School. Later, the teacher said that special sports recruits could also enter the City No. 1 Middle School. He told his parents that he wanted to take the City No. 1 Middle School and get extra points for students with special talents. His parents thought this was a good idea, so he relied on the extra points for students with special talents. When the big head was talking to Lin Zhi with a lively expression, Lin Zhi continued to do her homework without raising her head, but she was still very happy, so that she would know someone at school. She pretended to be disgusted and said, "Hey, I have to go to the same school with you again." She pretended to sigh. Datou didn't care, he was completely immersed in the joy of still being in the same school. At this time, Chen Shen came in. Without even looking at Da Tou, he said to Lin Zhi, "Lin Zhi, grandma asked you to buy soy sauce." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go back to the room with an expressionless face, but Da Tou was still behind and said to him, "Brother Chen Shen, I want to go to No. 1 Middle School too. I'm awesome." Chen Shen replied expressionlessly, "Well-developed limbs are also advantages." Then he walked into the opposite room and closed the door. "Hey, what do you mean, Lin Zhi, look at your brother, this little white-eyed wolf, I discovered him when he was a child, and now he doesn't take my elder brother seriously." "Big head, you are not allowed to say that about Chen Shen." Lin Zhi was slightly serious. She also noticed Chen Shen's low pressure. She had been studying hard recently, and she didn't notice that if she went to No. 1 Middle School, it meant that she could only go home once a week, and it would take an hour by car each time. This also meant that she could only see Chen Shen on Saturdays and Sundays every week. She was the one Chen Shen relied on the most in this family, and he must be very unhappy. Lin Zhi looked at the closed door opposite and thought deeply. She pulled Da Tou and walked out. Da Tou took her to the supermarket on an electric car to buy soy sauce. When passing by the back street, Lin Zhi asked Da Tou to turn in and stop at the door of Huang Ji. She went in and bought some taro bread. Datou saw Lin Zhi holding two pieces of bread in his hand and reached out to get it, "Lin Zhi, you are so kind, and you even bought bread for me to eat." Lin Zhi knocked off his hand and said, "This is for Chen Shen. He likes taro bread the most. If you want to eat it, buy it yourself." Big Tou had a flat mouth and looked at Lin Zhi pitifully. Lin Zhi sat in the back seat and motioned for him to drive. Big Tou muttered as he started the car. "It's really unequal treatment. Chen Shen must be too happy." Lin Zhi found it funny, "You have so many delicious snacks at home, why are you and Chen Shen fighting over them?" Datou is still nagging like a little daughter-in-law. Lin Zhi looked at the bread in her hand without saying anything. It was very dark at night, and the weak street lights on both sides of the street shone on the ground. When she looked up, she could still see the stars in the sky. Lin Zhi sighed. She actually liked familiar places and familiar people. She was afraid of the unknown and strange. She secretly thought that Da Tou had a family and had no shortage of friends, but Chen Shen was the only one. She was never alone. Datou sent Lin Zhi home. Lin Zhi took the soy sauce to the kitchen and went upstairs with the bread. She knocked on Chen Shen's room and said in a low voice, "Come in." Lin Zhi opened the door and saw Chen Shen sitting in front of the table, with his back to her, the lamp on, probably doing homework. She put the bread next to the table, and Chen Shen looked up at her. Lin Zhi sat on the edge of the bed and asked to read his homework, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your sister." Chen Shen paused and said, "I can do it myself." Lin Zhi was a little embarrassed. Indeed, Chen Shen was the number one in the first grade of junior high school. She laughed. Chen Shen was indeed unhappy. He would not be so cold normally. Lin Zhi habitually wanted to pat Chen Shen's head, but Chen Shen subconsciously avoided it. Lin Zhi was a little at a loss for a moment. After sitting quietly for a while, she gently walked out and closed the door. The moment the door closed, Chen Shen's writing hand stopped. He looked at the bread on the table. After a long time, he tore open the package and took a bite, but his heart was full of bitterness. The high school entrance exam in June finally came. Their school chartered a bus to take the exam at a nearby high school exam. The summer heat in the south in June was scorching. When the last subject was finished, Lin Zhi walked out of the exam room. The sun was bright. There were many people standing under the big tree outside the cordon in the distance. Lin Zhi walked closer and saw a sweaty man walking over. His bright eyes showed the joy after finishing the exam. Behind him, Chen Shen looked at her with a motionless smile. She didn't hear clearly. She said something on her head, patted Chen Shen, and the three of them walked to the door together. Many years later, Lin Zhi would always think of this scene when she thought about junior high school. Under the shadow of a tall tree, two teenagers gathered around her, one chattering and the other looking at her with a smile. It was a very hot summer noon, but her heart was very calm. It would be a bit sad to wave goodbye to this journey, but they were with her, and she felt at ease. After Lin Zhi was paralyzed at home for several days during the summer vacation, she found a part-time job at a nearby milk tea shop from 5 pm to 9:30 pm. Although her father asked her not to work hard, she wanted to buy Chen Shen a new pair of shoes. Many boys of the same age wore Adidas Nikes, but Chen Shen still wore old brand-name sneakers. Chen Shen also had a holiday. Lin Zhi asked him to go out to play with friends. Chen Shen just answered the question without raising his head and said, "I have no friends." Lin Zhi clenched her hands and felt a pain in her heart. In fact, Chen Shen finished his homework very early. He didn't know where he got the high school physics Olympiad questions. He could sit on the chair all afternoon every time. Lin Zhi admired this very much. Thinking about her previous summer vacation, she spent it playing and only finished her homework when school was about to start. However, she felt that it was not good for Chen Shen to be like this. Children should still play. In the second week of Chen Shen's vacation, Lin Zhi finally felt that she could not sit still and wait for death. After eating lunch, she opened the door of Chen Shen's room and took Chen Shen out directly. The two of them stood blankly at the street corner. Chen Shen looked at Lin Zhi still holding his hand and said to her, "So what are we going to do?" Lin Zhi thought for a while, "Why don't we go and play with Da Tou?" Chen Shen frowned and said, "I won't go." Lin Zhi didn't give up and took him directly to Datou's house, nagging along the way, "Chen Shen, you need to go out more, so you can make friends. Studying is not the only thing. Children should play when they should play, you know." Lin Zhi pulled Chen Shen towards Datou's house and opened the door with force. Datou, who was playing games, was startled: "Auntie, please be gentle, my door will be broken." "Butou, let's play games and take us with you," Lin Zhi said. "Forget it, I'm not playing a small game. Forget it, your game is a black hole, and it's not easy to play with three people. Why don't we go out to play. My classmate invited me to play ball. Do you want to go and watch?" Lin Zhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go." Chen Shen obviously didn't want to go, but Lin Zhi pulled him away again. The three of them walked grandly on the way to school. On the way, Big Tou invited them to eat pudding. Lin Zhi took the Melaleuca directly and said, "Don't be so stingy, Big Tou." Then he turned around and gave Chen Shen a green tongue. Big Tou rolled his eyes beside him. I also took an ice cream stick. There was a big tree next to the school basketball court. Before Da Tou's friends came, Lin Zhi was sitting under the tree. She asked Da Tou to lead Chen Shen to play. She saw Chen Shen frown and said before he spoke, "Chen Shen, boys must be good at sports. How handsome they are when they play basketball. Girls like boys who can play basketball. Go ahead." Chen Shen thought for a moment before joining Da Tou. They could see that Chen Shen didn't know how to play basketball. Lin Zhi was a little anxious. She asked Datou, "Can you teach Chen Shen? Don't play by yourself." Datou started with the simplest teaching of dribbling and shooting. He said to Chen Shen, "Actually, the best practice for playing basketball is to play more. There is no secret. Brother Chen Shen, you can follow me from now on and we will lead you to play." Chen Shen looked at him seriously and nodded. It was a hot summer day, but luckily there was shade on the basketball court, otherwise the sun would have burned to death. It was almost 4 o'clock, and Lin Zhi had to work later. She patted her pants and stood up, looking at Chen Shen and the others in the distance. She nodded with satisfaction and shouted to them, "I'm going to work, Datou, take care of my brother." Then she said to Chen Shen, "Chen Shen, don't play too late and remember to go home for dinner." Then she went to work. A long month passed, and the day to check the results came. Lin Zhi got through the inquiry phone number. After the results were reported, she finally calmed down after worrying for a month and performed normally, a few points higher than the admission line. After hanging up the phone, she hugged Chen Shen happily. "I passed the exam, Chen Shen, I'm so happy." Chen Shen couldn't hold back his lips, and he was full of smiles. His grandma was also very happy, urging Lin Zhi to call his father. Lin Zhi happily talked to his father on the phone. Finally, his father said, "Lin Zhi, it's summer vacation. Come to Guangdong to play." Lin Zhi said happily, "Okay, then when will Chen Shen and I go?" The person on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, "Then you can take the bus over the day after tomorrow." Lin Zhi hung up the phone and turned around and shook Chen Shen, "Chen Shen, we are going to Guangdong." Chen Shen looked at Lin Zhi's shining eyes, and a smile broke out at the corner of his mouth. Lin Zhi took Chen Shen to the mall. She worked part-time for a month and earned 1,300. She bought Chen Shen a pair of Adidas sneakers and a T-shirt. Wearing simple clothes made him look even more beautiful. Listening to the shopping guide's compliments, Lin Zhi felt a little proud. This was his younger brother, he was outstanding and handsome.

The story is simple. I like
