Luo Xiaochen (Luo Xiaocao): Associate Professor, School of Business
Li Ci: The small owner of the clothing stall
--In 1993, the train of the times rumbled forward, carrying a group of young people from all over the world.
When colleagues and students from Dongda University talk about Luo Xiaochen, the first word that comes to mind is elegance, and the second word is beautiful, cold and distant beauty.
Luo Xiaocao and Li Ci couldn't imagine such an adjective when they were in Tiaosu Village ten years ago. Li Ci ten years later would probably be shocked from ear to ear after hearing this, and murmured: "You're so good at pretending."
Ten years is too long, so long that the past is blurred, and even the embarrassment and cowardice at the beginning can be easily brushed aside.
In the ten years since they were separated, Luo Xiaochen was counting on her fingers, not knowing when the end would come.
Until one day, in a familiar big city, Luo Xiaochen saw Li Ci's busy figure.
Li Ci braided thick braids and rooted them at the small stall. He asked her with a fierce look, "Are you going to buy clothes or not? Standing here and not disturbing my business?"
Luo Xiaochen thought silently, Li Ci was only focused on doing business and didn't even recognize her.
One day, Luo Xiaochen finally plucked up the courage to express her feelings.
"Li Ci, let's work together. I'll give you all my money, as well as my monthly salary, and we'll treat grandma together. If you... Get tired of it and want to get married and have children, I'll give you all my money. Or if you want to change someone else, I won't make you cause trouble." Luo Xiaochen prayed with a white face.
When Li Ci was lying on the bed, he ignored his untied braids, sat up with his hands on the quilt, and cursed: "Oh, you, you took off your pants and farted!!! Are you willing to say these words to me now?"
The soft flesh under the quilt was smooth and tender, and there was no extra piece of fabric. Li Ci was so cold that goosebumps appeared on his arms... And he retreated back into the quilt.
