"People can only find a lifelong partner on their own terms." In high school, in their backward town, there were already a few boys and girls in the class who had already entered and exited in pairs, and had begun a hazy love relationship. Although Men Tao saw it in his eyes, he never thought about himself, until college, he has been thinking about his own survival and studies the most, love seems to have never been thought of in his heart, it seems that it does not belong to his world. After watching "Ordinary World", Sun Shaoping had a Tian Xiaoxia who admired and fell in love with him, and he also flashed in his mind, wondering if he would meet a "Tian Xiaoxia" who appreciated and fell in love with him in his life? That thought was just a flash, and then disappeared, at that time, he had very little experience of dating girls.

Luo Yan's appearance seemed to break his dull and peaceful life. Although, every time it is Luo Yan's initiative to invite him, he has never refused, even if sometimes in the face of Luo Yan's invitation, he just has something else, he always puts Luo Yan's invitation in the first place, but, for a long time, he still has not had an active appointment, he seems to be able to only passively face everything, but can not take the initiative to do anything. Luo Yan seems to feel this situation, and a few times, Luo Yan deliberately suppressed herself, once or twice not to contact Mentao, but if you don't contact you, you don't contact you, except for the normal weekend promotions, the others are still not in contact or not in contact. Luo Yan couldn't bear this kind of non-contact anymore, as soon as she took the initiative to invite, Mentao had another appointment, and everything returned to the original.

When they are together, most of them are based on Luo Yan's preferences, watching movies, going to the park, playing badminton or something, that is, accompanying Luo Yan to the mall for a day, Men Tao is serious and very dedicated to participate, but he himself really has almost no proposals.

This Friday, Luo Yan proposed to go to Xuanwu Lake and Jiming Temple after school in the afternoon. Xuanwu Lake is a very good place to play in Jinling, the whole lake area is distributed with five green states with their own characteristics, the five states have their own names, the bridges and embankments between the five states are connected, they have been here several times, but each time it seems to have a different scenery, wandering in the lake between the green willows and red cherry blossoms, it is an excellent place for couples to whisper and talk about love, Ouyang Xiu of the Tang and Song Dynasty eight families once said that "Qiantang is beautiful in the West Lake, Jinling is beautiful in the back lake", the back lake is today's Xuanwu Lake. Next to Xuanwu Lake is the ancient city wall of Taicheng, and then there is Jiming Temple, and Luo Yan's destination today is Jiming Temple. The Jiming Temple in Jinling is one of the oldest temples in Jinling, and is known as the head of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. The bells and drums, halls, scripture halls, and pagodas in the temple are simple and remote, as if every object is whispering the history of the Southern Dynasty in Jinling. I don't know if it's because of studying Chinese medicine, Luo Yan has a strong interest in Buddhism since she likes Chinese medicine, and the famous mountain Buddha temple has become her spiritual home. Since Jinling, the belief in Buddhism has also become Mentao's lifelong pursuit.

In a corner of the temple, a few purple trumpet flowers are blooming very bright and enchanting, and a few pots of orchids next to them are still as green and fragrant as ever. Luo Yan stopped there, leaned over and looked into the distance, Xuanwu Lake was wide and vast, and the weather was thousands, as if her heart was fluctuating at the moment, she looked sideways at Men Tao beside her, and Men Tao looked at Taicheng in the distance, as if he was carefully counting the ancient wall tiles, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking, Mentao?"

"I didn't think about anything, I was looking at this layer of wall tiles, when we just passed by them, did you see them, they were all engraved with the positions and names of the workers and officials in charge of the construction. ”

"Oh, then I didn't pay much attention, why did I let you come here today, do you know?" Luo Yan asked casually while observing Mentao carefully.

"Why, isn't it just a weekend walk?" replied to Men Tao with a blank face.

Luo Yan looked at Men Tao, a little shy, and a little courageous and said, "We've known each other for almost a semester, how am I in your heart?"

"What's going on?!" Men Tao was a little surprised by Luo Yan's sudden question, he didn't understand the meaning of Luo Yan's question, "What's going on?!" he repeated the sentence just now, very puzzled and really didn't know how to answer.

Luo Yan didn't answer his question, just stared at him blankly, waiting for his continued reply, Men Tao calmed down, as if he had found the answer, "You are very good, capable, and hard-working, you are different from many girls." After speaking, Men Tao also looked at Luo Yan seriously, carefully observing whether his reply could satisfy Luo Yan.

"That's it, isn't there anything else?" Luo Yan replied to Men Tao with some disappointment and some cunning.

Seeing that Luo Yan was a little disappointed with his reply, and he didn't know what to say any more, he had to calm down while thinking about it, and turned his gaze to the city bricks that could not speak, but were engraved with the positions and names of the workers or officials in charge of the construction.

The time was silent for a while, but Mentao was still dull, and Luo Yan broke the peace again, "Are we okay together?"

"Okay, I like to be with you", Men Tao replied in a low voice, fortunately there was not even a breeze at the time, otherwise maybe Luo Yan couldn't hear his answer clearly, and after this answer, Men Tao lowered his head a little shyly and looked at his feet.

"Then why, you have never taken the initiative to invite me, why do you ask me to invite you every time?" Luo Yan asked Mentao with some anger.

Men Tao was now in great distress, he couldn't answer and didn't know how to express himself properly, he just continued to be dull, there was nothing in the silence, but maybe anything would happen.

After another period of silence, Luo Yan looked at Men Tao who was embarrassed there, and she couldn't bear to let Men Tao continue to be difficult.

"I've been a boss lady for a long time, am I your girlfriend?"

"Yes, of course, I only have a girlfriend like you!", this time, Men Tao answered the question quickly, decisively, and directly, and raised his head again, and began to look at Luo Yan again, as if he was a little worried that his answer would make Luo Yan angry.

Luo Yan felt a lot of joy in her heart, and immediately asked, "Are you my boyfriend?", after asking this sentence, Luo Yan stared at Mentao again.

Men Tao, who had just raised his head, subconsciously lowered his head again, and chose to be silent for a long time.

Luo Yan had just jumped out of joy, and there was some disappointment and helplessness, and after a while, Luo Yan began to take the initiative to communicate again.

"Then from now on, I will be your girlfriend, and since you don't want to be my boyfriend, then continue to be my boss"

As soon as Men Tao heard this, he immediately nodded, and immediately seemed to feel that something was wrong, and shook his head again, but he still didn't feel right, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word.

Luo Yan looked at the embarrassed Mentao, stood there and smiled happily, stepped forward, stretched out a hand and grabbed one of Mentao's hands, "Let's go, boss, my girlfriend has invited you to the movies." Men Tao happily responded to Luo Yan, also with a happy expression, but still didn't say a word.

In this way, after the trip to Jiming Temple, Mentao began to fall in love, and the twenty-year-old Mentao began his first love in life.
