What exactly is love?

Lin Lu and Li Xingruo have not discussed this issue, but as their relationship has become closer, they have the same tacit understanding and understanding with each other.

The love that can really make people feel sweet and happy is not kissing, hugging, holding hands or making a couple avatar, wearing a couple outfit and getting tired of being together all day long, doing nothing, and delaying each other.

Instead, they should encourage each other, nourish and grow each other, give each other strength, make progress in a good direction for each other, and not bind each other in the name of love, but each other will think of each other before doing anything, and they will reject some people and things with a sense of responsibility and boundaries.

This is not only a love, but also trust, sincerity, companionship, testing, and never being separated from each other, and a common hope to be by each other's side day after day, year after year.

He remembers watching a program called "Round Table Pie", in which a professor said something that he still remembers - when you want to judge whether a person is suitable for marriage, ask yourself, what kind of qualities do you want your children to inherit from each other? Attention is quality.

This is quite level, whether it is marriage or love, the excellent quality of the other party will always make him stand out in the crowd and become the most eye-catching one in each other's eyes, after all, real long-term love is not about the level of appearance, but the level and fit of the inner quality of both parties.

Isn't it often said that it starts with appearance, respect for talent, fit for character, long for kindness, and finally character.

Both Lin Lu and Li Xingruo have seen the shining points of each other and the life energy they have drawn from each other from the daily trivialities of life in the past six months, which also makes the sisters and brothers full of confidence in this long-distance love run.

After entering August, the summer vacation passed quickly, Li Xingruo continued to make progress in the increasingly skilled editing work, and the new book was on the shelves for more than a month, and the results have successfully risen to more than 7,000 orders, she did not stop to wait for him because she was older, instead of stopping and waiting, she thought that because she was older, she would have to bear more, so that Lin Lu would follow the road behind her all the way smooth.

And Lin Lu naturally will not patronize and enjoy Li Xingruo's good to him, precisely because he is behind her, he is more desperate to catch up with her footsteps, never stop the painting skills honing, in mid-August, he also got a driver's license, at the end of August, he has already rotated all the teams of the company, but not just a simple rotation, almost every group of work, he has done the best batch, peers are still calculating the summer balance, Lin Lu has become a first-class designer in the company, Including logos, packaging, exhibitions, posters, illustrations, etc., he continues to lead his peers in the front line to contact the market, learn through practice, learn by doing, which is also the most important accumulation of knowledge to become an artist.

From June 13th to September 2nd, Lin Lu spent the last summer vacation of his senior year of high school by participating in work.

On Saturday, September 3, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo went to the playground for a day of fun together, and in the evening, Li Xingruo took him to the mall again, bought him a new backpack, new sheets, bedding, pillows, mosquito nets to live in the dormitory, and five sets of new clothes, all of which she gave him.

Although Teacher Xiaoruo is still far from becoming a little rich woman, the manuscript fee sent down last month was more than 30,000 yuan, counting her salary of more than 8,000 yuan, when she spent this money on her stinky brother, she was not distressed at all.

In mid-August, the editor in charge of copyright at Begonia also contacted her and began to communicate with her about physical publishing, and the day before yesterday, the copyright editor contacted her again and informed her that the review of the website had been passed, and now she began to promote it with major publishing houses.

Now her book is almost 300,000 words, and in the face of such a workplace romance with excellent subscription results, many publishing houses want to take it, but the website and she are not in a hurry, let the results of the book ferment for a while, and then it will be more advantageous to negotiate the first printing contract with the publishing house.

Thinking about the book she wrote, one day it will be physically published in major bookstores and channels for sale in the future, Li Xingruo can not mention how excited, this is not just a matter of income, after all, it is her own hard work, to be able to publish physically, for an author like her who is a traditional literary professional, it is a very proud thing.

I didn't expect my stupid sister to really become a big writer, Lin Lu was naturally happy for her, if Li Xing spent money on him, he was not polite at all, just repay her after returning home.

On Sunday, September 4th, today is the day when Lin Lu School opens.

……

"College students! Just put the bowl there and I'll wash it!" Have you packed your things? ”

"Didn't Sister Xingruo help me clean up last night?"

"Then you're going to change your clothes, so you're wearing shorts and slippers to report?"

"Don't worry, it won't take you twenty minutes to drive there."

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're going to live in the dormitory for the first time, and you still have a lot of things to get!"

"Okay, then I'll change my clothes."

Li Xingruo took his unfinished plate, he grinned and leaned his face over, and took a bite on her pink face, she angrily flicked water droplets on him with her wet hands, and Lin Lu hurriedly ran back to the room to change clothes.

Because the school is local and not far away, Lin Lu only went to the school in the afternoon to report.

At noon, Li Xingruo specially made a big meal for him, after all, from tonight, he will have to eat in the school cafeteria, although the school cafeteria food is okay, but it can't compare to Sister Xingruo's craftsmanship.

Originally, I wanted to live in the dormitory and go to school like high school, but I didn't work at the beginning of the school year, first, many classes were held at night, and secondly, military training was about to begin, and I couldn't leave school during military training, so there was no way, at least before the end of military training, the sisters and brothers were going to be separated for a while.

Li Xingruo was washing the dishes while calculating the date, according to the information given by Zhong Qing, the enrollment education of new students began on September 4th, and then the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday began on the 9th, and the sisters and brothers could not meet for five days, and then when they came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Lu immediately began half a month of military training, and until the National Day in October, there was no meeting for half a month.

Anyway, since the two have known each other for so long, they haven't tried to be separated for such a long time, just thinking about not being able to kiss and hug him for half a month, Li Xingruo is not good.

Obviously, I should be happy that my stinky brother has officially become a college student, but what's going on with this inexplicable melancholy!

The virtuous girl washed the dishes very quickly, and when Lin Lu came out after changing her clothes, she also wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen.

"How is it, Sister Xingruo, I'm handsome, right?"

"It's less smelly and beautiful, it's not because the clothes my sister bought for you fit."

"That's right, all the clothes I wear all over my body now are all bought by Sister Xingruo, even the pants!"

“…… Who knows what pants you're wearing today! ”

Li Xingruo glanced at him angrily, like a little virtuous wife, stood in front of Lin Lu, stretched out her delicate fingers, helped him button the white shirt, and helped him fold the collar, stretched out her little hand and patted his chest.

She likes to see Lin Lu wearing a white shirt the most, maybe because his school uniform used to be the style of a white shirt, and now there is no school emblem on the white shirt, and he looks a lot older than he did at the beginning.

Life experience can really change a person's temperament from the bones, perhaps because of his nearly three months of work experience, although they are all nineteen years old, but compared to the young nineteen-year-old boy she saw outside, Li Xingruo felt that her family's Lin Lu was the most mature, handsome, confident, and charming.

Even if his face is still very young, no one who feels this temperament in him will look down on him by his age.

This kind of mature and confident and steady temperament that has nothing to do with age is a fatal attraction to many little girls, Li Xingruo was suddenly a little worried, Lin Lu went to live in the school for a month, and the fox spirit in the school hooked him away.

Sure enough, you can't sit still! Usually idle, you have to go into the school to see him!

Fortunately, Ruobao also has an internal response, Zhong Qing passed the application for class assistant from the Academy of Arts in June, and then happened to be assigned to Lin Lu's class half a month ago.

"When you go to college, you usually have to study hard, concentrate on your design and painting, you are not allowed to fall in love, you are not allowed to hang your children, I am expected to be a telescope, even if I am not by your side, I know your every move."

Li Xingruo said as he buttoned the button of his shirt to the top as if warning.

"Sister Xingruo's words, why is it so similar to what my mother told me when I was in kindergarten?"

"Just say you know it or not!"

"Know, know...... Sister Xingruo is so tight...... If you can't breathe......! ”

"Hmph."

Only then did Li Xingruo unbutton his top button and rearrange his collar for him.

"Sister Xingruo, are you going to report to the school with me later?"

"Go."

"It's so hot, it's okay for you to stay at home and blow the air conditioner, I'll come back to eat with you in the evening after reporting."

"Blowing the air conditioner all day long, I don't need money for electricity at home, I don't go with you, do you know where the meal card is charged, do you know where your dormitory is, do you know which building you usually go to class?"

"Makes sense! Fortunately, I have Sister Xingruo, otherwise I would be really confused for such a stupid person! Let's go! ”

"Wait, I'll change my clothes too."

It wasn't until Lin Lu was about to go to college that Li Xingruo really realized the mood of her parents when she was in college, and remembered that she also volunteered to say that it was no problem for her to go to southern Jiangsu alone and go to school to report alone, after all, she always felt that she was a college student at that time, and she had become very remarkable, very mature, and she wanted to break through by herself in everything, but in the end, she still didn't feel at ease with her parents, and the family came to the school to report together, and at that time, the 404 dormitory happened to be reported by herself, everyone thinks she's so powerful.

Time really flies, four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is the annual school season, and she has also changed from a freshman who just enrolled four years ago to a member of the family who accompanied the freshmen to enroll four years later, and it feels a little dreamy to think about it.

Since she is going to accompany Lin Lu to the school to report, she naturally has to dress up beautifully, and she can't embarrass him, she remembered that when her parents accompanied her to the school to report four years ago, her parents, who have always been not good at cleaning up, put on new clothes, and her father also blew his hair and put on hairspray, and his mother also wore a skirt and put on lipstick, probably in this mood.

Of course, Li Xingruo's mood is still a little different, in addition to giving Lin Luchang face, she also has to give some unwarranted little vixens a little warning and the meaning of swearing sovereignty, for which she also specially changed into a beautiful little dress, and simply painted her eyebrows and put on elegant lipstick.

This little dress and this makeup box were all given to her by Lin Lu, and he used his own salary! Just like she used the manuscript fee to buy things for Lin Lu, as long as Lin Lu bought a gift with her own salary, she accepted it unceremoniously, after all, this is the stinky brother's intention to buy her the salary from giving up the summer vacation and working hard for nearly three months!

The more Li Xingruo thinks about it, the more she feels that her stinky brother is rare, other people's eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys are still enjoying the summer vacation, her family's Lin Lu has begun to make money to buy her gifts, and Lin Lu's salary is very high! But not only because the company is his family, the main part of his salary is the commission of those high-level orders he makes, according to different needs and projects, and he can get two or three thousand yuan for a single order!

The family has provided him with a platform and opportunities, and he himself has the corresponding ability to earn this money, which is enough to be proud.

Although Lin Lu has now resigned from the company, after all, the company is his home, he has not withdrawn from the group or deleted his colleagues' WeChat, if there is a list on weekdays, as long as he is free, he will still pick it up, but he doesn't work in the office anymore, and he doesn't ask his father for living expenses, as long as his father gives him a list.

The company's first-class designers will be displayed on the company's publicity website, Lin Lu is also among them, the accumulation of nearly three months, his customer evaluations are five-star praise, many customers go to make an appointment with him to do design, it is also a kind of initial accumulation of qualifications and fame, if you want 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 platform of the university, many teachers and professors, In fact, it is the top network that ordinary people can access.

"Lin Lu Lin Lu Lin Lu ~~"

"Huh?"

"Come in!"

"Has Sister Xingruo changed her clothes? Don't hit me when I go in! ”

"What do you think! Why did I call you in before you changed your clothes, hurry up! ”

Lin Lu opened her door and went in, and saw Li Xingruo dressed neatly sitting in front of the dresser, he was also a little pity, since Qixi and her kiss, in the past month, Li Xingruo has been a lot more reserved, and he refuses to sleep with him during his lunch break on weekdays.

But fortunately, she didn't defend the small mouth that had been captured, which made Lin Lu taste her sweet and greasy taste every day, and she couldn't sleep well for three or five minutes before going to bed every night.

"What's wrong, Sister Xingruo?"

"Na, this little red envelope is for you, my sister wishes you a happy start to school and success in your studies."

She took out a small red envelope that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, the denomination was not large, but the number was carefully prepared, and there were sixty-six yuan and six cents in it.

"Huh! There are also red envelopes at the beginning of school! ”

"Yes, you don't have to open this red envelope, put it in the mezzanine of the backpack, if you want to use it, just open it after a while, it's a good intention!"

When she was a student herself, every time a new semester started, her mother would give her a small red envelope like this, so that she could receive the mezzanine of the schoolbag, and now she has inherited this tradition, and the future baby has not yet experienced it, so let the stinky brother experience it first.

"Thank you, Sister Xingruo~~"

Lin Lu naturally wouldn't be polite to her, and put the little red envelope into the mezzanine of his backpack, after all, the important thing is not this red envelope, but the heart and wishes inside.

The reason why Li Xingruo shines in his eyes is that she will get along with him like a real family, and the emotion between the two is not only the love of love, but also a special love that belongs to the sister and brother.

"Help me pull my hair."

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, but with this antique hairpin to pull up her waist-length hair, she did not lack the gentle and beautiful temperament of a Jiangnan woman.

"When the time comes, I will go to school, and there will be no one to blow Sister Xingruo's hair."

Lin Lu looked at her in the mirror, she sat in front of the dresser in a dignified manner, and he picked up her long waist-length hair as smooth as satin as if he were caressing some work of art.

"Hmph, I'll blow it myself."

"When I go to school, there will be no one to pull Sister Xingruo's hair."

Lin Lu gently gathered her hair into a bundle, skillfully picked up and coiled it with a hairpin, coiled it into an elegant hair ball behind her head, and then used the exquisite hairpin in her hand to gently pass through it and fix it.

"Hmph, I'll tie my own ponytail."

"When the time comes, I'll go to school, what should I do if Sister Xingruo misses me?"

Lin Lu held her slender and warm fragrant shoulders with both hands, leaned down, pressed against her cheek, and asked softly at her in the mirror.

"Shameless, I don't miss you."

"Then what if I miss Sister Xingruo?"

"Who knows you...... Well, wouldn't it be nice if you had insomnia? ”

"What a word this is! Sister Xingruo actually ruthlessly made me insomnia! ”

"My heart is made of stone~"

Seeing Lin Lu's angry appearance, Li Xingruo couldn't help but giggle, feeling that it was really good or bad for him to tease his younger brother like this.

"I don't want to lose sleep, Sister Xingruo wants to come to school to see me often when she is free, do you know?"

"I'm in college, and I'm still so clingy!"

"Sister Xingruo thinks who is doing this, shouldn't you be responsible for my insomnia?"

"Really, I really can't ...... you"

Seeing her agree, Lin Lu also relaxed, the arm holding her slender shoulder sank, she sat on the chair, he stood behind her like this, half-kneeled down and gently hugged her into his arms.

"Sister Xingruo is so fragrant."

"How fragrant?"

"Like the result I dreamed of in a distant place, like an incredible dream."

"Y-Do you want to kiss me again?"

"Sister Xingruo is really accurate in seeing people."

Li Xingruo's slender, fair-skinned, fragrant neck was right in front of him, and it was naturally impossible for Lin Lu to be unresponsive.

Seeing that she took the initiative to close her eyes in the mirror, Lin Lu also took advantage of the situation to lower her head and buried her face in her neck.

As soon as he gently wiped it with his lips, Li Xingruo's body trembled obviously, his eyes closed tighter, and the sugar content in his throat seemed to flow out, turning into a soft and sweet soft humming sound.

Lin Lu was immersed in her aroma, body heat, and soft touch, and went up from her neck, biting her earlobe, the side of her face, and her lips.

"Don't, don't eat, lipstick is poisonous ......"

"Poison me."
