CHAPTER XVIII

Maybe Long Xiaoyu didn't expect his future to be so quickly clear, the day after Luo Baochun officially met him in the study of the Yellow Crane Lake Villa, Director Wang of the company's chairman's office had a serious conversation with him, and this conversation was an extremely important milestone in Long Xiaoyu's short life history. Director Wang was instructed to inform him that after the strong recommendation of the chairman's office, the chairman had decided to let Long Xiaoyu serve as his personal secretary. Originally, the chairman of the board of directors did not have a private secretary, and the secretarial affairs have always been managed by Director Wang. Now Director Wang has too many things to do, and he lacks skills, after having Long Xiaoyu as a full-time secretary, such as the chairman's daily document processing, schedule arrangement and assigned life affairs, etc., are all handled by Long Xiaoyu. Director Wang told Long Xiaoyu that the reason why he was recommended was because he had always worked diligently and obeyed the leadership, and hoped that he would still be able to maintain his true colors after his status changed in the future; Of course, because of his conditions - he has a cultural background, can use computers proficiently, looks good, and has good skills, following the chairman is equivalent to hiring a part-time bodyguard.

From the moment Director Wang spoke, Long Xiaoyu became the first personal secretary set up by Luo Baochun for himself, which also means that he has become one of the most high-profile characters in the agency of Baochun Pharmaceutical Company. The monthly salary has also risen from 800 to 1,000. Of course, the increase in money is insignificant compared to the importance of this position, the important thing is that he moved into Luo Baochun's office in the company, which is usually empty, and can also take Luo Baochun's car to travel frequently between the city and the Yellow Crane Lake villa, bring the company's documents to Luo Baochun, and bring Luo Baochun's instructions back to the company. He often attends the company's internal high-level meetings convened by Luo Baochun, which can only be attended by cadres at the level of factory director, deputy factory director, chief accountant and personnel director. The factory director, deputy factory director, chief accountant, and personnel director are very affectionate to him. When the company's department manager and the workshop director of the factory saw him, their expressions and tone of speech became more affectionate, and there was a little stuttering and respect in the intimacy, which made Long Xiaoyu not used to it for a long time. He didn't expect to be so respected at the age of twenty-two, and he was always flattered when those department managers and workshop directors took the initiative to greet him, and he couldn't find the feeling of being down-to-earth all day long, as if he was dreaming in the clouds.

He also often accompanied Luo Baochun to attend various banquets, cocktail parties, and receptions, suits and leather shoes, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. At that time, Luo Baochun was discussing his expansion plan with the bank, and Long Xiaoyu was at the dinner table to help him show the bankers the blueprint of the expansion of the factory and the long-term plan of the pharmaceutical factory for several years after the expansion. The more Long Xiaoyu participates in the company's upper-level activities and the deeper he understands the situation, the more passionate he is about the career he has devoted himself to, the more he has a sense of responsibility, and the more he has a heartfelt sense of belonging to the company, the company's product Baochun Oral Liquid, and Luo Baochun, the boss of Baochun Oral Liquid. Luo Baochun's every frowning brow and every thin white hair made him anxious; And every time the boss laughs with a stretched expression, he moistens from the top of his head to his heels like a rain in a long drought. He feels that his life, and even every day's joys, sorrows, and sorrows are integrated with the business of Baochun Company. He even said something like this when Han Ding returned from Shaoxing to Pingling to talk to him again, saying that at that time he felt that Luo Baochun was like his father.

Long Xiaoyu's mentality, Han Ding can fully understand it. He never had a hard time, his parents died early, and he had no relatives, Luo Baochun's kindness easily made him have a strong sense of retribution, loyalty and filial piety. Of course, his sense of belonging is also born from another important factor, that is, he fell in love with Luo Baochun's daughter Luo Jingjing.

Although Long Xiaoyu and Luo Jingjing have had a secret contact and a strong friendship, they have never talked about the word "love" between them, and they have never even had a little temptation, insinuation and hint. For Long Xiaoyu, the disparity between his and Luo Jingjing's origins makes this kind of love seem unattainable, and then it also makes the idea of love foolish. He has always regarded Luo Jingjing's intimacy with him as a little sister and her dependence on her little brother. Being Luo Jingjing's little brother is a great happiness for him. He tried his best to take care of Luo Jingjing like his brother; willingly do all the trivial things for her; He always accepted Luo Jingjing's small temper from time to time without complaint, so that Luo Jingjing could do whatever he wanted in front of him and vent his true nature without scruples. He knew that Luo Jingjing liked to have a little brother like him who could protect her, obey her, listen to her whenever she called, always make her happy, and let her never be lonely. He saw that Luo Jingjing really liked this, and he was very excited and satisfied because he realized his value to Luo Jingjing, and that satisfaction made his life very full and happy for a while. But even so, he didn't dare to expect that there would be love between them in the end, the kind of serious and fruitful love. Moreover, he knew very wisely that Luo Jingjing's father could reuse him and cultivate him exceptionally, but he could not tolerate him having a bad heart for his only daughter. If Luo Baochun knew that he had such thoughts, Long Xiaoyu could have imagined what kind of punishment he would receive: he would be beaten behind Yinshan, or even expelled from Baochun's company, and returned to the streets of Pingling, back to the community of migrant workers waiting in groups in the labor market to work. He didn't realize at first that once Luo Jingjing really couldn't do without him, how would he extricate himself, and how annoying he would be once he couldn't pull it out. He didn't care about thinking so far, he only cared about enjoying Luo Jingjing's dependence on him at that time, and her inability to do without him would only make him feel excited and proud. He didn't even realize that Luo Jingjing was actually inseparable from him for a long time, she frequently called Long Xiaoyu to come to her small courtyard after work, ask him to teach her how to use a computer, and let him cook for her. She said I want to eat your cooking. She often had to dig through her brains and come up with some seemingly normal reason for him to come. Sometimes it's late, it's almost ten o'clock, she suddenly misses him, she can't think about it, she calls him and says some reason, such as she smells the smell of gas in the house, or someone walks around outside her courtyard, she is scared and can't sleep, Long Xiaoyu will definitely come over soon. He lives in the company's office building, not too far from the small courtyard, ten minutes away by bicycle. After arriving, Long Xiaoyu didn't know whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, she always sniffed around the house and asked her, "Where is the smell of gas?" Why didn't I smell it? Or: "There's no one outside the yard, did you hear me wrong?" Then he sat down to chat with Luo Jingjing or surfed the Internet, and stayed until she was really sleepy. Sometimes when it's really too late or the weather is bad, Luo Jingjing won't let him ride over anymore, she will chat with him on the phone for a while or simply let him go to the office and use the company's computer to chat with her online. Netizens in the same chat room can see that "Dragon Walks the World" and "Like Water and Sun" both appeared, and they came and went with each other, and the words were impenetrable, and no one could interject a sentence.

Luo Jingjing's performance, what is it if it is not love? But she is a girl, and it is unlikely that she will open her mouth to the other party first. What's more, she has never been in love. In Luo Jingjing's feelings, love is a new thing that she has never experienced, so fresh that she is almost at a loss, so that she doesn't know how to go deeper step by step, how to go on step by step.

This freshness of hers and the excitement brought by this freshness are only known to her best classmate Cheng Yao, because Luo Jingjing always can't help but talk about Long Xiaoyu in front of her, saying how unpalatable Long Xiaoyu's cooking is, saying that Long Xiaoyu only has a shirt and has opened the line, saying that Long Xiaoyu is not looking good at all when he laughs, and that Long Xiaoyu has an accent and a few words that are ridiculous...... Cheng Yao became suspicious: "You won't fall in love with Long Xiaoyu, right?" Cheng Yao's inference startled Luo Jingjing in an instant, and her first reaction after a moment of silence was denial: "What did you say, who loves him?" You love him! "Cheng Yao is four years older than Luo Jingjing, and she has obviously been in love once or several times and has experience. Seeing Luo Jingjing's red face and white teeth, she was angry, so she tacitly laughed: "Okay, whoever wants to love him is a puppy!" Luo Jingjing hit her with a pillow: "You are a puppy, you are a puppy, you are a little leper dog......" The two attacked each other and covered up the topic.

Long Xiaoyu, like Luo Jingjing, has entered a period of restless crush. Crushes are the easiest way for people to show their strengths and charms, so they feel especially good about each other. What is the charm of Long Xiaoyu in Luo Jingjing's eyes? That's the distance between him and her. A young man like Long Xiaoyu is something that Luo Jingjing has never encountered among her classmates, colleagues in the modeling agency, on the streets of Pingling, and in her experience since she was a child.

If the crush is fantasy and expectation for Luo Jingjing, then for Long Xiaoyu it is the result. As long as Luo Jingjing still needs him, let him cook for her, teach her computers, play with her, and take him as his companion, it is enough. Therefore, Long Xiaoyu's crush is full of the pleasure of sacrifice and the pleasure of gain. Sacrifice and harvest are a kind of end, people have nothing to ask for, but also can make people feel the achievement and heroism, the process is also very lingering, every minute in the Luo family's small courtyard, even if he is cooking alone in the kitchen, listening to Luo Jingjing watching TV in the living room, listening to music and singing along, it feels very lingering.

What Long Xiaoyu didn't expect was that this lingering period of crush would soon come to an abrupt end on a stormy night. He knew that this state would end sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly. Because Luo Baochun and Director Wang accompanied a customer to Beijing, Long Xiaoyu got off work very early on this day. After he arrived at Luo Jingjing's house, he went out to buy vegetables and fish, and then made a hearty dinner for Luo Jingjing. It started to rain when he was cooking, and it didn't stop until he finished cooking. Luo Jingjing, who was full, suddenly said that she wanted to eat ice cream, and Long Xiaoyu said that I would buy it for you. Luo Jingjing looked at the sky outside and listened to the thunder outside, and said forget it. But less than ten minutes later, she said that she wanted to eat again, Long Xiaoyu smiled and took the umbrella, and ran into the rain without waiting for Luo Jingjing's persuasion. A quarter of an hour later, Luo Jingjing really ate ice cream, which was her favorite yogurt ice cream. She sat on the bed and ate two in a row, her lips were cold, but when she saw Long Xiaoyu hanging his wet clothes, she felt hot in her heart. She said, "Xiao Yu, are you cold?" Long Xiaoyu said: "A little." She said, "Come here, I'll give you a cook." Long Xiaoyu came over and asked kindly, "What do you take?" Luo Jingjing suddenly put the ice cream that was about to finish on Long Xiaoyu's chest: "Take this!" Long Xiaoyu didn't take precautions, and was so frozen. Luo Jingjing laughed and hid in the bed, Long Xiaoyu pounced on her like a leopard and held her down. Probably his movements in front of Luo Jingjing had never been so fast, so frightened that Luo Jingjing couldn't help but scream, Long Xiaoyu realized that he had made a big fuss, a little too much, pressed Luo Jingjing's hand as if frightened, and looked at Luo Jingjing under him in a daze, a little at a loss. But at this time, Luo Jingjing was not angry at all, but unexpectedly wrapped a pair of slender arms around his body and hugged him into his arms at once.

At that time, Long Xiaoyu's nerves were completely paralyzed, and his whole body was numb like an electric shock. Luo Jingjing's soft chest, thin arms, lubricated cold skin, and pouting thin lips synthesized a violent poison, so poisonous that Long Xiaoyu couldn't move, but his consciousness was still clear, and he still knew fear. Psychological fears can be controlled, but physical impulses are difficult to hide...... In fact, Luo Jingjing is the same, as soon as her hand touches Long Xiaoyu's sturdy and slippery backbone, the shyness in her heart collapses, and the original girl's reserve and self-love all turned into nothing, she really wanted to say to him: "I love you", but what she said was another sentence, a very ordinary and ordinary sentence, so ordinary that even Long Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer.

She said, "You're not cold......

Long Xiaoyu did not answer. Of course he wasn't cold, he was burned by the boiling lust and burned into a bloodshot young beast. He cared no more than anything, he did not care about all that he ought to be afraid of, he was only twenty-two years old, he was strong in blood, he could not resist the tenderness and sweetness of the girl in front of him, he could not resist her almost flawless flesh, his reason and his timidity all fell into the soft embrace, the warm breath and the moist kiss of this girl. Luo Jingjing later confessed her feelings when she kissed a boy for the first time under Han Ding's questioning, she said that she didn't expect the man's lips to be so soft and boneless, she said that she seemed to melt under Long Xiaoyu's tongue at that moment. The beauty of kissing is that both parties taste oneness.

This kind of thing is really the first time for Luo Jingjing. After she took the initiative to open her arms, she didn't know how to go on at all, she thought that the intoxicating kiss was tonight's **, she was actually not prepared in her heart that Long Xiaoyu's movements would extend uncontrollably. She was a little overwhelmed when he started to unbutton her clothes, one button was fastened, and Long Xiaoyu panicked and untied it for a long time before unbuttoning it. Luo Jingjing was stunned, she didn't help him, she was a little scared in her heart, and her ear drums were full of heartbeat sounds. But she didn't stop it, she let him take off his clothes like a captive, and she didn't know how to stop it, the only reason she had left was that she believed that Long Xiaoyu would not hurt her, but then a sudden pain almost made her lose this firm trust, she screamed defenselessly, as soon as she called Long Xiaoyu's body froze, as soon as she stopped, he moved forward again, and then she began to push him out, and at the same time she cried.

Long Xiaoyu came out of her body, and the moment she came out, she soiled Luo Jingjing's sheets. The dirt and blood stains on the sheets made Luo Jingjing cry more and more, and she later told Han Ding that she thought she was injured somewhere at that time, and she would be seriously ill soon. Actually, nothing happened after that. At that time, Long Xiaoyu was frightened by her pain and fright, and trembled like a child who had done something wrong, but he would only rest his hand on her back, unable to even say a word of comfort. Luo Jingjing cried for a long time and cried tiredly, she was tired, she didn't feel any pain, and there was only a faint burning sensation left in her body, but it was not serious, so she slowly calmed down. Only then did Long Xiaoyu hold her in his arms and comfort her with a touch full of apologies. Although she was still a little scared and a little in pain, the ironing of the two bodies made her very comfortable, and this comfort made her immediately regain her love and trust in the reckless boy who had just hurt her. Moreover, this kind of love and trust is different from just now, it has made a qualitative leap and has new content. Luo Jingjing was the first to realize that her chastity had been given to this person, and she didn't know whether she was angry or excited, regretful or joyful, dazed or fulfilling, she couldn't tell her at all.

The first thing she said to Long Xiaoyu after she calmed down was, "Are you happy?" ”

Long Xiaoyu's face was full of shame, nodded, and was speechless.

The second thing she said was to ask, "You used to be with someone else...... Is it like this? ”

Long Xiaoyu's gaze avoided, which was tantamount to confession.

Luo Jingjing wanted to cry, as if she had been deceived, but she didn't cry. She asked, "Who have you been with?" ”

Long Xiaoyu left her, helped her cover the quilt, and then dressed himself, he whispered, "No." ”

Luo Jingjing asked, "I know who it is, it's the girl who hit my car with you, right?" ”

Long Xiaoyu still wanted to deny: "No." ”

"Then how do you understand this kind of thing?"

"What's not to understand about this?"

Luo Jingjing paused, looking at Long Xiaoyu buttoning her clothes silently, she suddenly asked, "How long have you and her known each other?" ”

"With whom?" Long Xiaoyu tilted his head to look at her.

"That's that girl, is her name Siping?"

Long Xiaoyu looked away and continued to buckle the button, shaking his head while buttoning, "Don't guess." ”

Luo Jingjing didn't look at Long Xiaoyu either, she stretched out a hand from the quilt, gently rubbed it on Long Xiaoyu's back, and asked softly, "You really never had a girlfriend?" ”

Long Xiaoyu's body was a little stiff, so stiff that it seemed that he couldn't turn his head, and he stiffened his neck and said, "No." ”

"You used to admit that Siping was your girlfriend, why don't you admit it now?"

Long Xiaoyu lowered his head and was silent, and after a while he turned his head and spoke slowly: "Actually, you didn't hit us that day, it was our own deliberate fall, we did it on purpose." Luo Jingjing couldn't imagine that he would say this, she asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"Because, I just came to Pingling at that time and had no money. Siping is my fellow villager, she didn't work at that time, and the Nobita who went to your house with me to get the money, he is the head of our group of Shaoxing people. He asked me and Siping to wait on the side of the road, and when a car came, he pretended to be hit by a car, and then asked the driver for a little money, 100 or 200. That day, it was to see that your car was good, and you were a woman, and Nobita told us that if we met a high-end car, we would ask for 20,000 yuan, and in the end we could get one or two thousand. ”

Luo Jingjing seemed to be listening to a story, and her face was full of surprise: "You guys...... Isn't this deliberate blackmail? You...... How can you do such a thing, aren't you a college student? ”

Long Xiaoyu blushed with shame: "I...... I spent all the money I brought out of my home at that time, and eating became a problem......"

Luo Jingjing also asked in a daze: "Then, why don't you want the money later?" ”

Long Xiaoyu said, "I don't know either. After a pause, he said, "I went to your house and later met you at the mall, and I thought you were a very good person, so I thought it was shameless for me to do this." ”

Luo Jingjing smiled, she smiled and said, "I think you are shameless now, you don't want that money to put a long line to catch big fish, right?" I can see that you're not in good shape. Long Xiaoyu didn't smile, which was a bit unexpected by Luo Jingjing. Not only did he not laugh, but he even sighed heavily and said, "How dare I not have a good heart? Your father was so kind to me, he took me in and gave me such a good opportunity, I am grateful to him every day, and I think about how to cherish this job every day. Since I dropped out of school, I never thought I would get such a good job, how dare I not be kind to you? I come to you every day, and I am terrified, and I am afraid that if I run into your father here, then I will be finished. ”

"Then why are you still here?"

Long Xiaoyu paused for a moment as if he couldn't explain, and only said two words: "I want to come." ”

"Why do you want to come?"

"I don't know." Long Xiaoyu lowered his head and said this, then raised his head, looked at Luo Jingjing, and said, "I miss you very much." ”

Luo Jingjing smiled heartily, but the corners of her mouth grinned again, and she went around and asked, "What I asked just now, you haven't answered yet—do you love that girl?" ”

Long Xiaoyu turned his head and looked at her, as if he hesitated for a while, before he reluctantly replied, "No." ”

"And does she love you?"

Long Xiaoyu looked out the window, and the rain outside the window hadn't stopped. "I don't have much to do with her now," he said. ”

Luo Jingjing's voice suddenly softened: "Then do you love me?" ”

Long Xiaoyu turned his face and looked at Luo Jingjing. He opened his mouth for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Love! Every late night, I love you in my dreams. ”

"What about the day, don't you love during the day?"

"Daytime? Daydreaming is so unrealistic. ”

"Just because you're afraid of my dad?"

Long Xiaoyu was silent and acquiesced.

"Then you can hide it from him."

Long Xiaoyu shook his head: "Jingjing, do you think I am worthy of you?" You speak from your heart, am I worthy? You can find someone who is a hundred times stronger than me, you can find someone with status, who is as rich as your father......"

"You're disgusting!" Luo Jingjing's foot was kicked by the nest, "You didn't ask me to find an old man, did you?" ”

"No, there are young people who have made a fortune now, and there are also ...... who have a particularly good career."

"Is it like that 'young knight'?" Luo Jingjing kicked him again, "You're so disgusting!" ”

Long Xiaoyu sat motionless on the edge of the bed and asked her to kick, it felt so good for her to kick him. He said, "Don't worry, your father loves you so much, he will find you the best." Your conditions are so good, you don't need to rush. ”

Luo Jingjing sat up and punched Long Xiaoyu hard in the shoulder: "Who is in a hurry?" You're not in a hurry, you're not in a hurry, why are you doing this today? ”

Long Xiaoyu saw her red face and white teeth, I don't know if she was really angry, her heart was confused, and she blurted out: "You hugged me first today." ”

Luo Jingjing immediately shot back: "I'm afraid you're cold when I hug you, why do you blame me?" ”

Long Xiaoyu also replied: "I, I'm also afraid that you will be cold." ”

"I'm afraid I'll be cold, you take off my clothes, I'm afraid I'll be cold to you...... I'll go to the hospital tomorrow, and if I really hurt you and get sick, you can tell you what to do!" ”

After Luo Jingjing finished speaking, she turned around and lay down, turned her back to Long Xiaoyu and stopped talking. Long Xiaoyu's head suddenly sweated. If Luo Jingjing really goes to the hospital tomorrow to check her body, and then makes the city stormy, and then lets her father know, fools can figure out what kind of uproar there will be. If Luo Baochun took care of his daughter's face, he would hide it and kick him out of the company; If Luo Baochun was so angry that he didn't care about anything, maybe he would send him to the public security bureau and accuse him of raping a girl...... Long Xiaoyu actually understood this, he knelt behind Luo Jingjing, leaned down and stroked her thin shoulder with his hand, he said like an oath: "I was wrong today, I am willing to do what you want to do with me, I am willing." The mood when he said this was the same as his attitude, if things really came to this point, he believed that he was willing to bear everything for Luo Jingjing, including going to prison.

Luo Jingjing didn't turn around, but her tone immediately turned around, and she even said in a not unprovoked tone: "Are you willing?" Okay, then I want you to do something for me, will you promise? ”

Long Xiaoyu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Jingjing sat up, looked at him, and said, "I want you to make the most beautiful daydream for me!" Did you do it, huh? ”
