Luo Yan is Mentao's girlfriend who has been talking about for eight years. Now he is an acupuncture doctor at Xinmin Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in the ancient city.

Since an accidental contact between Men Tao and Luo Yan eight years ago, the two have gotten along from the beginning of the hazy to the later intimacy, and now they love each other, and from Jinling to the ancient city, they seem to outsiders to be like a young couple who are about to start a family, but the relationship between the two of them seems to be very delicate, and there is such a sense of separation, even if the two have a common wish, that is, to buy a house in the ancient city to live and work in peace, but they except once talked about buying a house, when Luo Yan wanted to sponsor, Men Tao did not agree, and said that your money, when the two get married, will be your dowry, there has never been a talk about marriage. Marriage, this word and topic, seems to be a taboo between the two for a few years, they have avoided it from afar, and the farthest hidden, Mentao himself knows, that is himself, and Luo Yan is more often to take care of his feelings.

Eight years are fleeting, but time passes day by day, but it seems as long as eighty years. One day eight years ago, the encounter with Luo Yan has always been like a story that happened yesterday. It was a Saturday, and Mentao, a sophomore, was working part-time to promote the opening of a pharmacy. The pharmacy was very large, and forty or fifty college students were temporarily recruited to participate in the opening promotion on the same day. Because Mentao had worked for that pharmacy several times before, he was also familiar with the pharmacy staff. Originally, his duty that day was still the same as in the past, which was to deliver and distribute leaflets in the nearby community. But a manager of the pharmacy approached Mentao and said that he had arranged for him to take a few students and their staff together to carry billboards to the community to promote the publicity. Anyway, it was a day's work, and Mentao agreed, and he and seven college students who didn't know each other, under the leadership of two pharmacy staff, walked around the community holding signs, and shouted a few propaganda slogans from time to time, which was much easier than handing out leaflets. In the walking procession, in front of Mentao was a little girl, who said that she was a college student, but she seemed to be a middle school student, very thin, but very delicate.

At noon, I ate a boxed lunch at the pharmacy, rested for half an hour, and at one o'clock, the propaganda team began to flow again. Just around the corner of a street, suddenly, a big dog suddenly jumped into the team, and barked, the little girl in front of her was very frightened, threw the billboard in her hand, and ran to the side, but did not run two steps, but fell to the ground with a crooked foot, and immediately began to moan. Mentao hurriedly rushed over and tried to help the girl up, but the girl shouted, "Alas, the foot hurts", and no one dared to stand. The two staff members of the pharmacy, both of whom were also girls, came to take a look, and said that their feet were crooked, and they wanted to send the female college student back to the pharmacy to use some medicine, and the two wanted to walk with the girl, but the girl seemed to be really in pain, and she couldn't take a step, and she was already in tears. Seeing Mentao in his eyes, he stepped forward and said, "Come on, I'll carry you back", and with the help of two staff members, Mentao carried the girl back to the pharmacy. The staff quickly dealt with it, used topical medicines, and gave the girl some drugs to promote blood circulation and relieve pain, and let the girl rest there.

When the work was almost over in the afternoon, a manager of the pharmacy came to find Mentao again, saying that the pharmacy was very busy with the opening of the pharmacy and wanted Mentao to send the girl back to school in the afternoon. Only then did Men Tao see that the girl was still sitting in a corner. The warm-hearted Men Tao agreed without saying a word. The girl is at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, not far from Jinling University of Science and Technology in Mentao.

The girl still couldn't walk, so Mentao carried her into the car again, and the girl was not heavy, less than 100 pounds. In the car, the girl thanked her and told Mentao her name, "Luo Yan", and the two met in this way. got off the bus at the school platform, Luo Yan insisted that she could walk, but as soon as she took a step, she screamed in pain, and Men Tao couldn't help but say something, and carried her on her back again, and asked where the dormitory was, so she carried it all the way to the dormitory.

When saying goodbye to the dormitory, Luo Yan asked for Mentao's phone number and gave her own number. Other than that, there was almost no communication between them, and Mentao didn't take the initiative to say anything. If it weren't for Luo Yan's initiative, nothing seemed to have happened between them. Mentao is gone, Mentao doesn't care about this matter, for him, it's just a good deed that is easy to do, and the other Mentao didn't think about it, and they never thought about anything.
