The next morning, Su Banxia slowly awoke, her head aching as if it were about to explode. Drowsily, she slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a pure white ceiling. Its familiar appearance made her realize vaguely that this was her room in her off-campus apartment.

She lay quietly in bed, and after a long while she finally pieced together some fragments of what happened last night.

Last night, after Qu Qingdai and the others left, she had intended to follow them back, but Shang Lu dragged her back without explanation and continued drinking for another hour. After three rounds of drinks, she was completely drunk... and then vaguely remembered being picked up by Lou Jiyun...

Suddenly, a horrible picture flashed through her mind like lightning. Last night, she seemed to... actually kissed Professor Lou!

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt her brain explode with a bang, and she couldn't help but wail in her heart: Can someone tell her that this isn't true? Ahhhh, how could she do such a thing? She actually took advantage of her own teacher! What's more, Lou Jiyun was like a brother who grew up with her!

In shock and panic, she suddenly threw back the quilt and took a quick look at her body.

Seeing that her clothes were intact and there were no ambiguous marks on her body, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she walked to the door of the room with trepidation, the bathroom door behind her was suddenly opened.

Then, a deep and magnetic voice sounded behind her: "Why, want to run away?"

Su Banxia's body instantly froze in place, as if under a spell. Her heart sank, and after a moment, she slowly turned around, forcing an awkward smile and saying, "Hey, Professor Lou, why are you here too? This...this is such a coincidence."

Lou Jiyun was wearing a black T-shirt and casual trousers, his bangs dripping wet, clearly fresh from the shower. He lost his usual aloofness and air, looking surprisingly like a gentle, refined otaku, exuding a distinctly homely air.

However, that well-defined face was still extremely aggressive, his deep eyes seemed to hide endless secrets, and under his high nose bridge, his lips were slightly raised with a faint smile.

Su Banxia looked at him. Although they had known each other for many years, at this moment, she felt inexplicably shy. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes unconsciously began to avoid him, not daring to look him in the eye.

Lou Jiyun walked slowly towards Su Banxia with long and vigorous steps, and every step seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression.

He stood tall and straight before Su Banxia, ​​looking down at her from above. His eyes held a captivating depth, yet also a touch of carefree laziness. His thin lips parted slightly, and in a low, magnetic voice, he said leisurely, "Why am I here?"

After a pause, he raised his eyebrows slightly, a subtle arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Student Su Banxia, ​​don't tell me that you have completely forgotten what you did to me last night when you woke up?"

Su Banxia blinked her big watery eyes, which were full of innocence and ignorance. She swallowed carefully, and a slight "gurgling" sound came from her throat.

She stammered, "What...what did I do? Don't talk nonsense! This is in my apartment! Don't try to slander me!"

In fact, she knew it very well in her heart. She just kissed him accidentally last night under the influence of alcohol! But she still didn't want to admit it. After all, it was too embarrassing to say it out loud. Besides, she felt that they were all adults. It was just a kiss. There was no need to be so petty and hold on to it, right?

What's more, that was her first kiss as an adult. She hadn't even had time to digest it, so how come he brought it up first?

Lou Jiyun didn't answer her question immediately. He just stood there quietly, his eyes as dark as the night staring at her intently, his gaze filled with unfathomable emotions. His gaze seemed to have substance, making Su Banxia's scalp tingle and her whole body feel uncomfortable.

Su Banxia felt uneasy when he looked at her. Finally, she couldn't help but speak up to break the suffocating silence. "I just kissed you accidentally, didn't I? You shouldn't be so stingy, right? Besides, it's not like we kissed each other when we were kids. You can't hold it against me for this, right?"

She remembered that when she was a child, besides liking to stick to her brother, the person she liked to stick to the most was Lou Jiyun.

In her little heart, she had long regarded Lou Jiyun as an older brother whom she could rely on.

Back then, her brothers sometimes annoyed her, especially her second brother, Su Jingmo, who always bullied her, not only refusing to let her hug him but also preventing her from getting close to him. Although her eldest brother, Su Zeqi, had a good relationship with her when they were young, Lou Jiyun was still the closest to her. So, from a young age, she and Lou Jiyun were the most familiar playmates, and that close relationship continued into adulthood.

But now, everything seems to be a little different...

Especially after entering university, Lou Jiyun became her professor. The change in identity brought about a subtle change in their relationship.

Moreover, during this period, she clearly felt that Lou Jiyun's behavior and attitude towards her were very different from before. It was no longer just doting on her like a younger sister, but there were more feelings that were difficult for her to describe.

All this made it impossible for her to look at him as simply as before. Whenever she looked into his eyes, she would feel an inexplicable nervousness and shyness in her heart. This feeling made her feel both unfamiliar and a little overwhelmed.

Lou Jiyu stared at Su Banxia's little face full of entanglement and embarrassment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile. He slowly took a step forward, his posture upright and elegant, with an innate noble temperament, a deep smile stretching between his brows, that smile went straight to his eyes, as if hiding endless tenderness and pampering, making people sink into it involuntarily.

"Are you sure you just kissed me?" His voice was low and magnetic, echoing softly in this quiet space, gently striking Su Banxia's heartstrings.

Su Banxia subconsciously raised her head, meeting his deep, blazing gaze. Her thick, dark eyelashes fluttered like two small fans as she blinked, stirring the air around her and Lou Jiyun's heart.

"Isn't it?" She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness in her eyes, and asked back.

At this moment, Lou Jiyun suddenly stretched out his slender white fingers and gently tugged at his collar.

The movement was elegant and casual, but it instantly attracted Su Banxia's full attention. As the collar was pulled open, a beautiful, delicate and attractive collarbone was revealed.

Su Banxia didn't show the usual surprise. Her gaze settled calmly on that alluring collarbone, even a hint of admiration in her eyes. She hadn't expected a man's collarbone to be so beautiful, and it was hard for her to look away.

However, not long after, her eyes suddenly froze, and the expression on her face instantly changed from admiration to astonishment, and she saw a clear and obvious tooth mark above the collarbone.

"Is this...bitten by me?" Su Banxia seemed to be extremely frightened, her eyes wide open. She raised her hand and pointed her index finger at the area above his collarbone. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked cautiously.

The shape of the tooth mark was very clear, with a faint trace of blood on the edge. The wound looked very deep, and one could imagine how much force the person who bit her used at the time.

Su Banxia looked at the tooth mark, as if she could feel the pain at that time. She couldn't help but frown, her heart full of self-blame and regret.

Lou Jiyun raised his eyebrows slightly, his gesture carrying a hint of uninhibited humor. "Of course, this spot... or else I should have bitten it myself?"

Su Banxia had no recollection of biting him; her mind was completely blank. Her brow furrowed as she racked her brains to recall what had happened last night, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't come up with a clear picture.

"You wouldn't lie to me, would you? Although I drank a little last night, I wouldn't bite anyone randomly, would I? Besides, you didn't even send me home, why did you send me to the apartment? My family will definitely be worried if I don't go home all night. How could you do this!" Su Banxia's eyes began to wander around, trying to change the subject and shirk the responsibility.

"Is it that I don't want to send you home? Who was it that pulled me and insisted that I send her here last night? And who was it that clung to me tightly and wouldn't let me leave after I sent her back to the room? And then kissed me and bit me?" A barely perceptible smile flashed in Lou Jiyun's eyes, and every word was clearly heard by Su Banxia, ​​making her cheeks instantly hot.

"I didn't mean to do that. I was drunk and unconscious at the time. Why didn't you pull me away? You're a grown man, it's impossible that you couldn't pull me away! You are also half responsible..." Su Banxia's eyes dodged, not daring to look at Lou Jiyun. Her hands twisted together unconsciously, her fingers kept entwining, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost inaudible.

Lou Jiyun gazed deeply into Su Banxia's evasive gaze, as if trying to see through her innermost thoughts. He leaned forward slightly, a faint smile on his lips, and said with a hint of joking, "I did pull it out, but you kept clinging to me, so I was afraid of hurting you, so I had to be very careful. I did this for you. What? Are you planning on shirking your responsibility?"

Su Banxia seemed to have her secrets revealed. She subconsciously raised her head, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.

She straightened her back, her eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness, and she said loudly: "I don't have any, just tell me how much compensation you want, at worst I can pay for your medical expenses."

After hearing her words, Lou Jiyun raised his eyebrows, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

"Do you think I look like someone who needs this little bit of medical money?"

Su Banxia was speechless for a moment after his question, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Then what compensation do you want? I have nothing but money."

Lou Jiyun looked at her cute yet helpless appearance, and something moved his heart.

He lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he raised his head, a cunning glint in his eyes, "Then, treat me to a meal?"

"Just... just a meal? Are you sure? You're not trying to trick me..." Su Banxia widened her eyes and looked at him suspiciously. Her mouth opened slightly, forming a small "O" shape. She wondered in her heart if he had any other intentions. After all, this request sounded too simple, so simple that it was a little hard to believe.

"If you don't believe me, then forget it. I can only tell your brother about this. Let me see whether I should tell your eldest brother or your second brother. I think your second brother, after all..." Lou Jiyun deliberately dragged out his voice, and a hint of a triumphant smile flashed in his eyes.

"No, no, no!" Su Banxia panicked upon hearing this. She waved her hands hastily, an anxious look on her face. "It's just a meal. Wait for me to contact you. I'm leaving now! Bye! Professor Lou! This, this, this... I'll leave this apartment for you to rest..."

After saying that, she turned around and ran like a frightened rabbit, escaping the apartment at almost the fastest speed. Her steps were hurried and hurried, as if something terrible was chasing her.

Lou Jiyun stood there, quietly watching Su Banxia's departing back. Only after she disappeared from his sight did he lower his head slightly, a wide smile forming on his lips as he chuckled softly, "I didn't want to leave so quickly, but... you were the one who started it, so don't blame me."
