Luo Jingjing fell in love with Long Xiaoyu, and according to her own summary and review, it began with three ordinary things. In the eyes of ordinary people, that is indeed a very ordinary thing. But Han Ding still believes in the cause between these things and that love, because he believes that love in reality sometimes doesn't need any reason, and he believes that the echo and fulcrum between men and women are sometimes so subtle that they can only be felt.

What is the first thing? It's cooking. Is there anything more mundane than cooking?

The cooking happened shortly after Long Xiaoyu was recruited to Baochun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as a secretary, when Luo Baochun became ill and was hospitalized for a heart attack. After Luo Baochun moved to Huanghe Lake, he rarely went to the city, except for meetings and entertainment, his daily review of documents and directing the company's business operations were carried out in this old suburban house. At the same time, he decided to renovate the small courtyard where he had lived in the city for many years and where Luo Jingjing still lived. Luo Jingjing had just become a model at that time, and her busy training and performances every day made it impossible for her to live in the suburbs, except for spending two days with her father on vacation, she didn't want to live there every day to endure his nagging and discipline. Because she still lives in a small courtyard in the city, the renovation work can only be carried out in half and half phases. Luo Jingjing lives in the room on the left, and the construction team works in the room on the right, and then turns each other upside down when they are done. At that time, Long Xiaoyu had just been transferred to the company, and he didn't have much daily work, so Director Wang of the office sent him to stay in the Luo family's courtyard every day to supervise the work.

As a result, Luo Jingjing could see this young man with black eyebrows appear in the courtyard outside the window almost every day, saw him coming in and out of the house opposite her bedroom, and heard him talking seriously with the construction workers...... She even saw him shirtless helping the workers carry things. She saw that Long Xiaoyu's body looked stronger than when he was neatly dressed, she didn't expect this young man who looked very thin to have obvious chest muscles. The muscles on Long Xiaoyu's body were probably rowed out of the canopy boat on the nine-winding river outside Shaoxing City, and each part was so capable and shapely. His waist is thin, but the set of muscles in his abdomen that can be clearly seen without force supports his entire body vigorously. Han Ding has not been with Luo Jingjing for a short time, and he knows her appreciation for boys. Obviously, before those three so-called ordinary things happened, Luo Jingjing must have peeked at Long Xiaoyu's gestures through the window. What Han Ding could think of, Long Xiaoyu's thin face tanned by the sun, that healthy body shape that could never be shaped by regular exercise, and that taciturn demeanor were all lethal to girls, this kind of young man only needed to stand there, and girls would generally surrender. Han Ding is also beautiful, but that is another feeling, and he also knows that Luo Jingjing, a well-dressed urban white-collar worker like him, has seen too much, and he has long been tired of it. On the contrary, it is people like Long Xiaoyu who can bring her more freshness and more story-based dreams.

Slowly, Luo Jingjing began to walk out of the bedroom, intentionally or unintentionally, to the small courtyard, to see the house decorated by the workers, and naturally there was an opportunity to talk with Long Xiaoyu casually. She first asked him about the renovation of the house, and about the decoration of the mud tiles, and then asked him about the white beaded chain on his hand, which is an ornament worn by women, how do you wear it? And then talked about his hometown - is your hometown a water city? What should Watertown look like? So, Long Xiaoyu told her about the canopy boat, the ancient fiber bridge, the social drama and rice wine, and the vicissitudes of Shaoxing's 2,500-year history...... Long Xiaoyu was also interested in Luo Jingjing, who Han Ding couldn't figure out if he had started since before he refused the 13,000 yuan compensation, and he asked her about some knowledge and experience about models. The modeling industry is of course full of temptation and extremely mysterious for a boy like Long Xiaoyu. He was now able to stand so close to a beautiful model that he used to only occasionally see on television, and to talk so easily and easily, in a scene he had probably never encountered. They talk to each other very quickly and feel comfortable with each other. They talk more and more often, and each time they are getting longer and longer. There was no one else in this small courtyard, only the two of them, and the construction workers were only immersed in their work, and no one cared what their relationship was. When the workers finish their work, they often don't finish talking. Once they talked about the Xianheng Hotel in Shaoxing and the fennel beans sold there. Because of Mr. Lu Xun's novel called "Kong Yiji", Xianheng Hotel and Fennel Beans are very famous...... Next, they went down the river to talk about the flavor snacks of Shaoxing, Long Xiaoyu said that these snacks seemed to be very expert, not only the taste, but also the production procedures and production principles of those snacks, which can be described in great detail. A boy like Long Xiaoyu can actually cook, which makes Luo Jingjing particularly surprised, it is really a poor man's child who is in charge early. So, in this small courtyard, the aroma of Shaoxing-style meals often wafted out - Luo Jingjing asked Long Xiaoyu to show his hand, and Long Xiaoyu showed his hand. Later, the second and third hands were revealed one after another. Long Xiaoyu learned to cook when he was a drummer in his father's troupe who could cook, and later he cooked for Siping's mother every day for half a year, and his skills were perfect. Luo Jingjing slowly became dependent on the food made by Long Xiaoyu and the taste. She loved watching this handsome boy move neatly and tizzly in the kitchen for her, eating his meals and chatting with him. Han Ding only then knew that Luo Jingjing's obsession with cooking at home and her cooking skills were all inherited from Long Xiaoyu.

Cooking was the beginning of Luo Jingjing's attachment to Long Xiaoyu, and the next thing made Luo Jingjing further curious and likable to Long Xiaoyu, that is, Long Xiaoyu made Luo Jingjing interested in computers and became her master to learn computers.

A boy teaching a girl to learn a computer is of course too ordinary and ordinary in the world has entered the era of information age and global integration. Do you believe it? Nowadays, there are many more young people who can play with computers than how to cook. But in Luo Jingjing's eyes, Long Xiaoyu is just a young man who came from a small place, has endured hardships, is willing to contribute, is happy to help others, and is kind and kind, and has not been contaminated with all kinds of bad habits in modern cities, which is what attracts Long Xiaoyu to her, and it is the type she rarely encountered in the urban environment where she grew up. What she didn't expect, and never expected, was that someone like Long Xiaoyu would also play with high-tech things like computers. That day, after they finished eating, they somehow chatted about the computer, and Long Xiaoyu, who had always spoken passively, suddenly became full of interest and gushed endlessly. He commented on the pros and cons of different brands of computers, as well as their earliest origins, sales rankings, who the boss was, and their historical background, which surprised Luo Jingjing. Luo Jingjing doesn't know about computers, she is a girl who likes art, not only likes the elegance of art, but also is contaminated with the laziness that artists often have. When she wasn't training and performing, she would rather sleep at home, go to the streets, go to the shops, cook and chat with Long Xiaoyu, and never thought about learning any computers. But now it's different, because of Long Xiaoyu, she suddenly became interested in computers, she was from Long Xiaoyu's mouth for the first time to fully understand the computer in modern human life has such ubiquitous, omnipotent functions and applications, but also understand the future human life, if a person does not understand the computer will face what kind of boring, embarrassing, and even survival crisis.

Under the influence and persuasion of Long Xiaoyu, Luo Jingjing decided to equip herself with a computer immediately. She went to her father to ask for money and told him about her decision to learn computers. Of course, Luo Baochun is happy, after her daughter fell in love with the modeling industry, she almost abandoned other lessons that ordinary young people should learn and master, and she didn't listen to anything. His daughter's change made him suspicious: "Didn't you buy a computer on a whim, play with it for two days, and then throw it away and never learn again, right?" Luo Baochun said: "I think you might as well go to a computer class first, learn the basics first, or I will find someone to teach you, and it will not be too late to buy it after you have learned." Luo Jingjing said: "I have found a very good teacher, he is proficient in computers." Luo Baochun asked, "Who?" Where did you find it? Luo Jingjing stumbled for a moment, and then replied: "It was our modeling agency that found it for us, and the company now requires us to learn computers." ”

Luo Baochun believed that it was true, happily took out the silver, and instructed Director Wang to send someone who was an expert to accompany Luo Jingjing to the store to buy. Luo Jingjing said no, no, our company said that we would let the invited teachers help us choose. She got 15,000 yuan from her father, and took Long Xiaoyu to IBM's ** store, and bought a new IBM Aptiva, which is the plan that Long Xiaoyu gave her after going around the computer ** stores first, and he came up with a total of three different price configuration schemes, and this IBM Aptiva is the highest one.

Since then, most of Long Xiaoyu's spare time has been spent in front of this IBM Aptiva with Luo Jingjing. Starting from Luo Jingjing's interest, he first taught her to play various games on the computer, and then led her to surf the Internet together. When Luo Jingjing was dazzled by the colorful and all-encompassing online content, he led her into a chat room. He let Luo Jingjing see the freedom and presumptuousness here, and saw so many people who didn't know each other communicating with each other here, ridiculing each other, arguing and abusing each other, and talking about love with each other...... When Luo Jingjing became obsessed with all this, he began to teach her Wubi fonts, teach her to handle documents, and teach her to establish her own Yi Meier. At this time, Long Xiaoyu in Luo Jingjing's eyes was no longer a simple manual laborer, his proficiency and agility in front of the computer fascinated Luo Jingjing, she watched with admiration as he used that small mouse to quickly click on the countless dark channel mechanisms on the screen, and conjured up endless heaven and earth in this small screen.

When Luo Jingjing had such an idol to worship, her enthusiasm for computer learning and the speed of progress became ever-changing. She will soon be able to freely browse the information on the Internet and use Yi Meier to send letters to her classmates, but unfortunately there are too few Yi Meier among her classmates. In the next few days, she can also be like Long Xiaoyu, chatting with a group of people who don't know their names, locations, ages or even genders in the online chat room. Every time she chatted, she was with Long Xiaoyu, operated by Long Xiaoyu or by her, and the GG, JJ, DD, MM people on the Internet irrigated, brick-making, and even opened a house, and had a lot of fun. Two people arguing with others together will appear more powerful, more hilarious, wiser and more laughing.

Long Xiaoyu gave Luo Jingjing a screen name, called "Like Water and the Sun". Luo Jingjing's name has ten suns, six days in the middle of the sky, and four sunsets in the twilight, and her appearance and personality are so tender and watery, it is appropriate to call it "like water and the sun". Luo Jingjing also gave Long Xiaoyu a screen name, called "Dragon Walks the World"! This is the word she saw in a Hong Kong and Taiwan video disc, and she felt that it was particularly magical and domineering, full of masculinity. But under the cover of pseudonyms, they used their real genders. Because of the name "Dragon Walks the World", people don't believe it when they say that it is a "beautiful cutie". That burst of "dragon walking in the world" and "like water and the sun" followed me like a shadow, always haunting different online chat rooms, singing and harmonizing, aggressive. Many net worms must know that when the "Dragon Travels the World" appears, the "Water and the Sun" will inevitably come, and when the "Water and the Sun" and everyone say goodbye to me and I'm going to sleep, the "Dragon and the World" will definitely disappear, and they seem to be a veritable couple of rivers and lakes, male and female heroes who come and go without a trace.

The Internet is a place where love is overflowing, no matter how inseparable "the dragon walks the world" and "like water and the sun", there are still people who act as a third party at every turn, and there is no shortage of people who "have feelings" with them. They sometimes reprimanded these guys, sometimes politely refused, sometimes ridiculed, and sometimes pretended to be tempted, all depending on the mood of the time. Even, they jointly planned a conspiracy, that is, "like the water and the sun" came forward to "seduce" a netizen in the same city called "Young Hero", and with the approval of "Dragon Travels in the World", "Like Water and the Sun" took the initiative to show love, and the affection was lingering, and even did not hesitate to pile up a large number of words of admiration that went straight to the topic, and saw the "young knight" under the skirt. They can all see that this "young man" is really tempted. He began to explain his true identity and real age to the "Bright Sun", he is no longer a teenager, but he is not old, unlike some networms, who are forty or fifty years old and have an innocent name. He is only 28 years old this year, and he works as a sales manager in a company, managing a business, and can be regarded as a "successful person". He earnestly asked how old the "water and the sun" was, how old was Gui Geng, where he was working now, and, most importantly, whether he was really a woman. Luo Jingjing really told him that she was really a woman, twenty years old this year, also from Pingling, and liked art, but she didn't say what she did. The next twenty-eight-year-old sales manager really asked her out to meet. At this point, Long Xiaoyu said let's stop teasing him, give him a sudden disappearance, change the website to talk to others, and let him be sad for a few days and confused for a few days. But Luo Jingjing came to interest and curiosity. After chatting for so many days, she especially wanted to see who this affectionate young man was and who his surname was. She didn't listen to Long Xiaoyu's dissuasion, and insisted on exchanging Yi Mei'er with the infatuated young man, and made an appointment to meet at a time and place. On that day, she took Long Xiaoyu with her, and they arrived at the place ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, which was the gate of a botanical garden not too far from the Luo family's courtyard. But the "young knight" arrived earlier than them, and he held a Pingling Evening News rolled into a cylinder in his right hand, and a jacket on his left arm, which was the joint mark agreed upon by both parties. Luo Jingjing was startled, the man was about 1.60 meters, very fat, a little bald, saying that he killed anyone at the age of twenty-eight Luo Jingjing would not believe it, and the title of "young knight" is really off-topic, and it has nothing to do with it. Luo Jingjing has to believe in such a saying, it is true: there are no beautiful women on the Internet, and there are no handsome men on the Internet. She hurriedly threw the evening newspaper in her right hand in the garbage can on the side of the street, and put the coat in her left hand on her body. She saw that the fat man had noticed her, and hurriedly held back her laughter, took Long Xiaoyu's arm, pretended to be an intimate couple, walked over from the man's suspicious gaze without squinting, and then laughed like a meal, and ran away.

This first failed "joint" inadvertently achieved the "first intimate contact" between her and Long Xiaoyu, that is: for the first time, they walked openly on the crowded street like lovers, hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder. They had almost walked half the street before they realized that each other's bodies were a little out of place, and they hurriedly dispersed, both of them blushing a little. However, there is also a little swaying in my heart.

Long Xiaoyu's talent in computer use made Luo Jingjing look at him with admiration, which naturally aroused her curiosity about Long Xiaoyu's life experience. When Long Xiaoyu said that he learned computer operation in a special course in college, Luo Jingjing's curiosity about him almost reached the extreme: "You went to college? She didn't expect that this young man, who had always been a manual laborer in her mind, turned out to be a college student. How could a college student fall into a situation like him where he couldn't get a job on a construction site like him? So, Long Xiaoyu told her about his childhood and parents, and talked about how he helped adults work in the troupe, and at the same time, under the enlightenment of his father, he taught himself all the courses of primary school; talked about how hard it was to get into college and how it was forced to leave university...... The school of economics is private, there is no scholarship system, no matter how good the grades and performance are, it is useless, and if you can't pay the tuition fees, you have to drop out. Not only could he not pay his tuition fees, but even eating became a problem. He told Luo Jingjing about the days when he interrupted his studies at the age of 20, rowing on the rivers in the countryside of Shaoxing, making wine in a winery in Dongpu, working as a handyman in a state-run Shaoxing opera troupe, and working as a part-time computer typist in a very sluggish cultural unit...... He poured out almost everything he had since he was a child to this beautiful girl who seemed to really care about him. The only thing he didn't tell Luo Jingjing was his relationship with Siping. However, Luo Jingjing knows a little bit about the girl named Siping, although Long Xiaoyu never mentions this girl, she guesses that this girl and Long Xiaoyu are probably the same townspeople as childhood sweethearts. Luo Jingjing is actually a scheming girl in this regard, she is not in a hurry to ask Long Xiaoyu about the girl who was hit with him, of course, at that time, she has not clearly realized in her heart what changes will occur in the nature of the relationship between her and Long Xiaoyu, there must be a faint feeling, both sides have it, but the clear consciousness is still to come.

The renovation project of Luo's small courtyard, which lasted more than two months, was over, the construction team was withdrawn, and Long Xiaoyu's task was completed, but he was still a frequent visitor here. He came over almost every night to teach Luo Jingjing to cook and learn computers, and of course, more to surf the Internet with her and chat with netizens. Later, more of them sat under the secluded table lamp, chatting all over the world.

That's when the third thing happened: the fight.

It is also common for young people to fight.

On that day, Luo Baochun set up a banquet at Pingling Dafeng Restaurant, and the banquet was for an elderly couple. The man's surname is Zhang, what is his name Luo Jingjing can't remember, he was the deputy director of the Pingling Light Industry Bureau, and he has long since retired. The female name is Liang Huilan, a researcher at the Pingling Institute of Biological Products, the director of the pharmacology research office of the institute, and an adjunct professor at Pingling Medical College. Of the two guests that night, the woman was the guest of honor and the man was the foil. The purpose of Luo Baochun's banquet was to officially hire this pharmacological scientist, who is not only in Pingling, but also in the province and the whole country, to serve as a special expert for Baochun oral liquid. In fact, it is not necessary to do too much work to be such an expert for the manufacturer, mainly in name. The name of a well-known expert is conducive to the promotion of products by manufacturers, and the experts also take some registration fees, and the two are willing to get their own place, which is nothing new in the era of commodity economy. That evening, Director Wang was supposed to go to Professor Liang's house to pick up the old couple in person, but Director Wang's meeting did not disperse and he couldn't get out, so he sent Long Xiaoyu there. Long Xiaoyu took the company's car to Professor Liang's house to pick up the two guests, and when he received Dafeng Restaurant, Director Wang drove Luo Baochun and just arrived. Luo Baochun specially called Luo Jingjing that day, firstly, because he hadn't seen his daughter for several days, and he thought a little that he would take this opportunity to have a meal with his daughter; Second, there is a girl who will be a little more relaxed at the table, with a bit of family gathering, and the atmosphere is also cordial when talking about business with Professor Liang.

Luo Baochun's father and daughter and Professor Liang and his wife really got along very well that night, and only Director Wang was present at the outsider's seat. Long Xiaoyu and one of the company's drivers ate a ten-yuan standard working meal in a nearby restaurant, and then waited in the parking lot for the banquet upstairs to end. Luo Baochun was very happy that night, and drank a little more, but he was not drunk. After the banquet, he first sent the professor and his wife to the car, let Long Xiaoyu accompany them, and sent them home. Then I had to drive myself and go back to the Luo family's courtyard with my daughter. As soon as he pulled his car out of the parking space, he went in the wrong direction, and at the turn of the wrong lane in the parking lot, he almost collided with a left-turning car that was speeding too fast. There were three young people in the opposite car, who seemed to have drunk too much, and when they got out of the car, they first scolded. "How the fuck are you driving? Don't have long eyes? Luo Baochun also got out of the car, his expression was quite reasonable, he didn't reply, he just walked to the front of the car to see if he had rubbed it, but he was suddenly grabbed by the neck and thrown by the other party. Director Wang hurriedly got out of the car and went over to dissuade him, but he was also grabbed by another man on the other side. Luo Jingjing also got out of the car, and went over with weak legs and feet to try to take his father away, but his father had already quarreled loudly with those young people at this time, and they all twisted each other. Those young people were strong, but Luo Baochun was almost fifty years old, obviously not an opponent, and he was thrown by the other party with a bigger stumble. At this time, Long Xiaoyu rushed up, and the car that sent Professor Liang had not gone far, and the driver stopped the car when he saw that the chairman was beaten in the reflector, and Long Xiaoyu jumped out of the car and rushed over, with the fearless spirit of riding the savior alone. He rushed up and didn't want to fight, he just picked up Luo Baochun and wanted to go to the car, but those people didn't let go. Long Xiaoyu tried his best to separate them with his back and arms, but not only was it useless, but he was also grabbed by the other party. Before this, Luo Jingjing stood behind them and saw that Long Xiaoyu's performance was very restrained, she wanted to calm things down, and she wanted to protect her father. But the other party was a little endless, and when they grabbed Long Xiaoyu's collar with several hands, Long Xiaoyu seemed to suddenly get angry, and unexpectedly punched one of them in the face, and the person sat on the ground almost with a bang. Next, Long Xiaoyu immediately became the target of the joint attack of the other two, both of them were fatter than him, but it was obvious that their strength was not as good as his. The three of them fought, and in just a few seconds, one of the two strong men squatted down with his stomach clutched, and the other simply lay down on his back with his mouth and nose flushed.

The moment Long Xiaoyu punched made Luo Jingjing really shocked, although this was saving her father, but at that moment, the fierce light in Long Xiaoyu's eyes changed Luo Jingjing's good impression of him almost instantly. She completely ignored the simple appearance of this countryman, in fact, there was an essential wildness, which was the root of Long Xiaoyu's twenty years of growth and the people around him, and the soul attached to him from his wandering life since childhood. If it weren't for the sudden outburst of ruthlessness of Long Xiaoyu in the parking lot of Dafeng Restaurant, Luo Jingjing almost forgot that this young man who had become her closest friend was not originally from her, their families and experiences, and the environment they were in, so that they must have a huge difference in nature.

Of course, Luo Jingjing's thoughts at that time were not as rational as when she told Han Ding about this later, she only remembered that she was first startled at that time, and then worried about whether Long Xiaoyu could beat them. The outcome of this incident that night was also unexpected by Luo Jingjing, Director Wang called the security guard of the restaurant, and the security guard called the patrol police on the street, and the patrol police took away Long Xiaoyu, who was actually in legitimate defense.

Luo Baochun didn't go back to the Luo family's courtyard that night, he took his frightened daughter back to the Yellow Crane Lake Villa. Luo Jingjing stayed awake all night that night, she was very distressed and missed Long Xiaoyu who was imprisoned for her and her father. Long Xiaoyu's big fight has completely become a kind of fearless heroic feat in her mind, and his cold face has also been transformed into a simple cool word in her constant imagination, and the composure and swiftness are as quiet as the dashing and handsome young warriors in the cartoon. The wildness that Long Xiaoyu showed at that moment also became a symbol of a man's strength and pride. Not only did it no longer make Luo Jingjing feel stunned and scared, but it even made Long Xiaoyu's image in her mind more perfect.

The next morning, before dawn, Luo Jingjing got up and came to her father's room, she woke up her father and begged her father to rescue Long Xiaoyu quickly. In fact, my father had called his acquaintances and friends the night before, explaining the cause of the fight and asking them to find the Public Security Bureau to clear up. At noon, Long Xiaoyu was released. He beat the three guys very hard, and one of them had a broken face. But the Public Security Bureau still ruled that Long Xiaoyu's behavior was justified defense, in fact, it is difficult to tell the line between legitimate defense and excessive defense, and Luo Jingjing didn't know whether the Public Security Bureau's ruling was impartial law enforcement or the relationship between his father's trust played a role.

Long Xiaoyu was picked up by Director Wang personally from the detention center. After picking it up, he was sent directly to the Yellow Crane Lake Villa according to Luo Baochun's instructions. In the study room of the villa, Luo Baochun met Long Xiaoyu and asked the nanny to make him a cup of hot tea to suppress his shock. He said words of approval and encouragement to Long Xiaoyu, and asked him about his family, experience, and expertise with concern. Long Xiaoyu replied briefly and generally. Before he finished answering, Luo Jingjing suddenly walked into this study, she and Long Xiaoyu looked at each other, and no one spoke. Out of politeness and kindness to Long Xiaoyu, Luo Baochun seemed to forget that it was his daughter who brought Long Xiaoyu to the factory to find a job, and he personally accepted Long Xiaoyu into the factory, so he got up and introduced his daughter to Long Xiaoyu.

He said: "Let me introduce you, this is my daughter, a model from Feitian Modeling Agency. ”

Long Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he nodded slightly at Luo Jingjing.

Luo Baochun introduced Long Xiaoyu to his daughter again: "This is Long Xiaoyu, a newly recruited college student from our company. It is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang......"

Luo Jingjing stared at Long Xiaoyu, and then, she generously stretched out a hand and said loudly:

"My name is Luo Jingjing, and I'm glad to meet you!"
