Lin Lu and Li Xingruo had not discussed this issue, but as their relationship became increasingly close, they also had the same tacit thinking and understanding.
Love that can truly make people feel sweet and happy is not about kissing, hugging, holding hands, or making couple portraits, wearing couple's costumes and spending the whole day together doing nothing and delaying each other.
Instead, they should encourage each other, nourish and grow each other, give each other strength, and make progress in the right direction. Each other will not bind each other in the name of love, but before doing anything, each will think of each other and will be full of responsibility and responsibility.
Reject some people and things with a sense of boundary.
This is not only a love, but also trust, sincerity, companionship, and a test. We will never be separated from each other. We hope that we can stay with each other day after day, year after year.
The breakdown of his parents' marriage made Lin Lu think more deeply about love. He remembered watching a "Round Table Party" program, in which a professor said something that he still remembers vividly - when you want to judge someone
When someone is suitable for marriage, ask yourself, what qualities do you want your children to inherit from the other person? Pay attention to the qualities.
This is quite true. Whether it is marriage or love, the excellent qualities of the other party will always make him stand out from the crowd and become the most eye-catching one in each other's eyes. After all, true and long-term love does not depend on appearance.
It’s about the level and compatibility of the inner qualities of both parties.
As the old saying goes, it starts with appearance, respects talent, suits the character, lasts with kindness, and ends with character.
Both Lin Lu and Li Xingruo have seen each other's shining points and gained life energy from each other in the trivial daily life of the past six months. This also makes the siblings full of confidence in this long-distance love race.
After entering August, the summer vacation passed quickly. Li Xingruo continued to make progress in her increasingly proficient editing work. More than a month after the new book was put on the shelves, the number of orders successfully increased to more than 7,000. She was not because of herself.
She stopped to wait for him because she was older. Instead of stopping and waiting, she thought that because she was older, she had to bear more, so that Lin Lu would have a smooth road behind her.
Naturally, Lin Lu would not just enjoy Li Xingruo's kindness to him. Precisely because he was lagging behind her, he pursued her even harder and never stopped honing his painting skills. In mid-August, he was still
After getting his driver's license, at the end of August, he had already rotated through all the groups in the company. It was not just a simple rotation, but almost every group's work.
While people are still calculating their summer balance, Lin Lu has become a first-level designer in the company, including logos, packaging, exhibitions, posters, illustrations, etc. He is constantly ahead of his peers in contacting the market at the front line, and is learning.
Practice, learning through practice, is also the most important accumulation of foundation for becoming an artist.
From starting work on June 13th until resigning from the company on September 2nd, Lin Lu spent the last summer vacation of his senior year in high school by working.
On Saturday, September 3rd, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo went to the amusement park for a fun day. In the evening, Li Xingruo took him to the mall and bought him a new backpack to use in the dormitory.
She gave me bedsheets, quilts, pillows, mosquito nets, and five sets of new clothes.
Although Teacher Xiaoruo is still far away from becoming a little rich woman, the royalties paid last month were more than 30,000 yuan. Counting her own salary of more than 8,000 yuan, when it comes to spending this money on her stinky brother, she is a little bit shy.
Not even bothered.
Based on the results of her new book in Haitang, physical publication is already a certainty. In mid-August, the copyright editor at Haitang also contacted her and began to communicate with her about physical publishing. The day before yesterday, the copyright editor
I contacted her again and informed her that the review of the website had passed and she was now starting to promote it to major publishing houses.
Her book now has almost 300,000 words. Faced with such a workplace romance novel with excellent subscription results, many publishers want to get it. However, the website and she are not in a hurry and will let the book's results ferment for a while.
This will give you an advantage when negotiating a first printing contract with the publisher.
Thinking about the book he wrote, one day in the future it will be physically published and sold through major bookstores and channels. Li Xingruo is extremely excited. This is not just a matter of income. After all, it is a work of his own hard work. If it can be physically
Publishing is a very proud thing for an author with a traditional literature major like her.
He didn't expect that his stupid sister would really become a great writer. Lin Lu was naturally happy for her. If Li Xingruo spent money for him, he would not be polite at all. He would just repay her kindness when he got home.
Sunday, September 4th, today is the registration day for Linlu to start school.
…
"College student! Just put the bowl over there and I'll wash it! Have you packed all your things?"
"Sister Xingruo, didn't you help me clean up last night?"
"Then why don't you go change your clothes and go reporting in shorts and slippers?"
"Don't be in a hurry, it won't take you twenty minutes to drive there."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's your first time living in a dormitory, and you have a lot of things to do!"
"Okay, then I'm going to change clothes."
Li Xingruo took the dishes he hadn't finished washing. He smiled and brought his face towards her, and took a sip on her pink face. She angrily flicked water drops on him with her wet hands. Lin Lu
I quickly ran back to my room to change clothes.
Because the school was local and not far away, Lin Lu went to the school to report in the afternoon.
At noon, Li Xingruo specially cooked a big meal for him. After all, starting from tonight, he would eat in the school cafeteria. Although the food in the school cafeteria was okay, it could not compare with Sister Xingruo's cooking.
I originally thought about not living in the dormitory and studying day-to-day like in high school, but that's not possible right now when school starts. Firstly, many class meetings are held at night. Secondly, military training is about to start. You can't leave the school during the military training.
, so there is no way, at least before the end of military training, the siblings will have to live apart for a while.
Li Xingruo was washing the dishes while calculating the dates. According to the information given by Zhong Qing, the freshman orientation will start on September 4th, and then the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday will begin on the 9th. The siblings will not be able to see each other for five days.
, then when he comes back from the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Lu will immediately start military training for half a month. Until the National Day in October, he will not be able to see each other here for half a month.
It has been so long since the two of them have known each other that they have never been separated for such a long time. Just thinking about not being able to kiss and hug him for half a month makes Li Xingruo feel bad.
Obviously we should be happy that our bratty brother has officially become a college student, but what’s going on with this inexplicable melancholy!
The virtuous girl washed the dishes very quickly. When Lin Lu changed her clothes and came out, she also wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen.
"How about it, sister Xingruo, am I handsome?"
"You're less stinky and beautiful. It's not because the clothes my sister bought you fit."
"That's true, all the clothes I wear now are bought by Sister Xingruo, even my underpants!"
"...Who wants to know what pants you are wearing today!"
Li Xingruo rolled her eyes at him angrily. Like a good wife, she stood in front of Lin Lu and stretched out her delicate fingers to help him button up the white shirt. She also helped him fold the collar and stretch it out.
She reached out and patted his chest with her little hand.
She likes to see Lin Lu wearing a white shirt the most. Maybe it's because his school uniform was also in the style of a white shirt. Nowadays, the white shirt does not have the school emblem on it, and he seems to have grown up a lot more than before.
Life experience can really change a person's temperament from the core. Maybe it's because of his work experience in the past three months. Although he is still nineteen years old, compared with the green nineteen-year-old boy he sees outside,
Li Xingruo felt that her Lin Lu was the most mature, handsome, confident and charming.
Even though his face still looks very young, anyone who feels this temperament in him will not underestimate him based on his age.
This kind of mature, confident and stable temperament that has nothing to do with age is fatally attractive to many little girls. Li Xingruo was suddenly worried that during the month when Lin Lu went to live in school, the vixen in the school lured him away.
Sure enough, we can't sit still and wait for death! When I have nothing to do, I have to sneak into the school to see him!
Fortunately, Ruobao also had internal support. Zhong Qing passed the application for class assistant at the Art Academy in June, and happened to be assigned to Lin Lu's class half a month ago.
"When you get to college, you must study hard and concentrate on your design and painting. You are not allowed to fall in love or idle around. I have a telescope. Even if I am not by your side, I will know your every move."
As Li Xingruo said this, he buttoned the top button of his shirt as a warning.
"Sister Xingruo, why do these words sound so similar to what my mother said to me when I was in kindergarten?"
"Just say whether you know or not!"
"I know, I know...Sister Xingruo is so tight...I might not be able to breathe...!"
"snort."
Li Xingruo then unbuttoned his top button and rearranged his collar.
"Sister Xingruo, do you want to report to school with me later?"
"go."
"It's so hot, you can just stay at home and turn on the air conditioner. I'll come back and have dinner with you in the evening after reporting."
"Blowing the air conditioner all day long. There is no charge for electricity at home. I won't go with you. Do you know where to recharge your meal card? Do you know where your dormitory is? Do you know which building you usually have classes in?"
"It makes sense! Fortunately, I have Sister Xingruo, otherwise I would be really confused for such an idiot! Then let's go quickly!"
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes too."
It wasn't until Lin Lu was going to college that Li Xingruo truly understood the feelings of her parents when she was in college. She still remembered that she also volunteered to go to Southern Jiangsu alone and report to the school alone.
Now I always feel that I am a college student, I have become very great and mature, and I want to try everything on my own, but in the end I still can't get over my parents' worries, and the whole family came to the school to report.
, at that time, there happened to be a person in dormitory 404 who came to the school to report on her own, and everyone thought she was so awesome.
Time really flies by. Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s the beginning of the school year again. She has also gone from a freshman who just enrolled four years ago to a family member who will accompany the freshmen to enroll four years later. Think about it.
They all feel a bit dreamy.
Since she was going to report to school with Lin Lu, she naturally had to dress up nicely so as not to embarrass him. She remembered that when her parents accompanied her to report to school four years ago, they had never been good at dealing with her father.
My mother put on new clothes, my father also blow-dried his hair and applied hairspray, and my mother also wore a skirt and put on lipstick. I guess she was in the same mood.
Of course, Li Xingruo's mood was a little different. In addition to giving Lin Lu face, she also had to give some unwarranted little vixens a warning and a declaration of sovereignty. For this reason, she also put on a beautiful outfit.
Wearing a small skirt, she also simply drew on her eyebrows and put on light and elegant lipstick.
This little skirt and this makeup box were given to her by Lin Lu. He used his own salary! Just like she used her royalties to buy Lin Lu things, as long as Lin Lu bought the gifts with his own salary, she would not care at all.
Accept it unceremoniously, after all, this is the intention of the stinky brother who gave up his summer vacation and used the salary earned from nearly three months of hard work to buy it for her!
The more Li Xingruo thought about it, the more he felt that his stinky brother was a stranger. Other people's 18- or 19-year-old boy was still enjoying his summer vacation. Lin Lu of her family had already started making money to buy her gifts, and Lin Lu's salary was very high! Not only
Because the company is his family, the main part of his salary comes from commissions from the high-end orders he makes. Depending on the needs and projects, he can sometimes get two to three thousand yuan per order!
His family has provided him with a platform and opportunities, and he has the corresponding ability to earn this money, which is enough to be proud of.
Although Lin Lu has now resigned from the company, the company is his home after all. He has not left the group or deleted his colleagues' WeChat accounts. If there are orders on weekdays, he will still pick them up as long as he is free, but he is no longer working in the office.
That's it, he doesn't have to ask his father for living expenses anymore, as long as his father gives him a bill.
The company's first-level designers will be displayed on the company's promotional website, and Lin Lu is among them. Over the past three months, his customer reviews have been five-star, and many customers have specially made appointments with him for design.
Well, it can be regarded as a preliminary accumulation of qualifications and fame. If he wants to debut as an artist or a design master in the future, these alone are not enough. Lin Lu needs to jump to a higher platform.
Don't underestimate the university platform. Many teachers and professors are actually the top connections that ordinary people can have access to.
"Lin Lu Lin Lu~~"
"Um?"
"Come in!"
"Sister Xingruo, have you changed your clothes? Don't hit me when I go in!"
"What are you thinking about? Why did I ask you to come in before you've changed your clothes? Come on!"
Lin Lu opened her door and went in. He saw Li Xingruo sitting neatly in front of the dressing table. He was a little pity. After kissing her on Chinese Valentine's Day, Li Xingruo had become much more reserved in the past month. He even took his lunch break on weekdays.
I refused to sleep with him.
But fortunately, she no longer guarded the little mouth that she had conquered. This allowed Lin Lu to taste her sweet and greasy taste every day, and he couldn't sleep without kissing her for three to five minutes every night before going to bed.
not good.
"What's wrong, Sister Xingruo?"
"Now, here is this little red envelope for you. Sister, I wish you a happy start to school and success in your studies."
She took out a small red envelope from the drawer that she had prepared. The denomination was not large, but the numbers were carefully prepared. There were sixty-six yuan and sixty cents in it.
"Hey! There are red envelopes for the beginning of school!"
"Yes, you don't need to open this red envelope. Just put it in the compartment of your backpack. If you want to use it, just open it after a while. It's a good idea!"
When she was a student herself, her mother would give her a small red envelope like this when a new semester started, and let her receive it in the middle of her schoolbag. Now she has also inherited this tradition, and her future baby has not yet experienced it.
I'm here, let my stinky brother experience it first.
"Thank you, Sister Xingruo~~"
Lin Lu naturally would not be polite to her, so he put the small red envelope into the compartment of his backpack. After all, what was important was not the red envelope, but the thoughts and wishes inside.
The reason why Li Xingruo shines in his eyes is that she will get along with him like a real family member. The relationship between the two of them is not just love, but also a special bond that belongs to the two siblings.
"Hold my hair for me."
Li Xingruo picked up the hairpin on the table and gave it to him. She was wearing a skirt today. Although it was not an ancient Hanfu, she used this antique-style hairpin to hold up her waist-length hair, and she still did not lack the elegance of a Jiangnan woman.
Beautiful temperament.
"When I go to school, there will be no one to blow dry Sister Xingruo's hair."
Lin Lu looked at her in the mirror. She was sitting dignifiedly in front of the dressing table. He held up her waist-length hair, as smooth as satin, as if stroking some piece of art.
"Humph, I'll blow it myself."
"When I go to school, there will be no one to hold Sister Xingruo's hair."
Lin Lu gently gathered her hair into a bundle, skillfully used the hairpin to lift it up and twist it into an elegant bun on the back of her head, and then used the exquisite hairpin in his hand to gently pass through it to secure it.
live.
"Huh, I'll tie my own ponytail."
"When I go to school, what should I do if Sister Xingruo misses me?"
Lin Lu held her slender and gentle shoulders with both hands, leaned down, pressed his cheek against hers, and looked at her in the mirror softly and asked.
"Shameless, I won't miss you."
"Then what if I miss Sister Xingruo?"
"Who knows about you... Then, wouldn't it be better for you to have insomnia?"
"What are you talking about! Sister Xingruo is so cruel that she makes me sleepless!"
"My heart is made of stone~"
Seeing Lin Lu's angry look, Li Xingruo couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling that he was really good at teasing his younger brother like this.
"I don't want to lose sleep. Sister Xingruo wants to come to school to see me when she has time. Do you know?"
"You're already in college, and you're still so clingy!"
"Sister Xingruo, who do you think caused this? Shouldn't you be responsible for my insomnia?"
"Really, there's really nothing I can do against you..."
Seeing her promise, Lin Lu also relaxed, and the arm holding her delicate shoulders lowered. She sat on the chair, and he stood behind her, half-bent down, and gently held her in his arms.
inside.
"Sister Xingruo smells so good."
"How fragrant is it?"
"Like the result I dreamed of in a distant place, like an incredible dream."
"You, do you want to kiss me again?"
"Sister Xingruo is really good at judging people."
If Li Xingruo's slender, white, and fragrant neck was right in front of him, Lin Lu would naturally not be able to react at all.
Seeing her voluntarily closing her eyes in the mirror, Lin Lu also took advantage of the situation and lowered his head, burying his face in her neck.
Just after gently wiping it with his lips, Li Xingruo's body trembled obviously, his eyes closed tighter, and the sugar in his throat seemed to flow out, turning into a soft and sweet hum.
Lin Lu was immersed in her fragrance, body temperature and soft touch, working his way up from her neck, biting her earlobe, sideways, and up to her lips.
"Don't, don't eat it, the lipstick is poisonous..."
