"Why didn't you call me when you came here?" Lou Jiyun inadvertently glanced at the two cups of steaming coconut milk placed at Su Banxia's feet and motioned her to pass them to him.

Su Banxia's eyes followed his gesture, instantly understanding his meaning. She bent down in a panic and reached for one of the cups of coconut milk, but her nervousness made her movements seem clumsy.

When Lou Jiyun saw her like this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a slightly doting smile. He gently stretched out his hand and took the cup of coconut milk from Su Banxia. His slender and bony fingers flexibly unwrapped the straw's wrapping paper and carefully inserted the straw into the hot drink cup. After inserting the straw, he raised his head with a gentle smile in his eyes and gently handed the coconut milk to Su Banxia's hand.

"Thank you." Su Banxia's cheeks flushed slightly, like peach blossoms blooming in spring. She took the coconut milk a little embarrassedly, holding the cup tightly with both hands, trying to hide her inner nervousness and uneasiness.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the coconut milk in her hand, then looked at the other cup at her feet, and said quickly, "That bottle is for you."

Lou Jiyun thanked her softly, took his own cup of coconut milk, and sat quietly, his posture erect and elegant. His eyes remained fixed on Su Banxia, ​​a gaze filled with an elusive emotion that left her feeling somewhat disoriented.

Su Banxia felt her face getting hotter and hotter as he stared at her without reservation, as if she could fry an egg. Her heartbeat also became faster and faster, like dense drumbeats beating in her ears.

She bit her lips awkwardly, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks on her pink lips. She thought to herself that she must do something to break the awkward atmosphere, so she decided to drink some coconut milk to calm her nervousness.

She took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly, raised the cup of coconut milk with trembling hands, slowly brought the straw to her mouth, and prepared to take a sip of coconut milk.

However, perhaps due to excessive nervousness, her hand shook uncontrollably, and the straw stabbed her face directly. At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Su Banxia felt her face suddenly become hot, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear from the world immediately.

"How are you?" When Lou Jiyun saw this scene, he was stunned at first, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect that she would be so confused that such an accident could happen even when drinking coconut milk.

Then, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he frowned slightly. He leaned forward unconsciously, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to check if she was injured, and asked with concern.

"No, nothing," Su Banxia replied quickly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, barely audible. She smiled awkwardly, trying to mask her embarrassment, but it was uglier than crying.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards her.

Lou Jiyun suddenly leaned over, half of his body almost touching her, and the distance between them was instantly shortened, so close that she could even clearly feel his warm breath gently spraying on her cheek. The breath carried a faint fragrance of shower gel, which made her heart beat suddenly faster.

This sudden, intimate gesture startled Su Banxia so much that her breath hitched for a moment. Her eyes widened in shock and bewilderment, and her heart seemed to skip a beat. Her body instantly stiffened, her hands tightly gripping the coconut milk cup, her fingers turning slightly white from the strain. She didn't know how to react to this sudden situation.

Lou Jiyun's gaze was frank and direct, like the bright stars in the night sky, pouring down on Su Banxia's face without any obstruction.

His deep, thick eyes were like a bottomless cold pool. His gaze was deep and focused as he scrutinized her face inch by inch, not missing any slight change in her expression.

The distance between the two was so close that Su Banxia could clearly feel the aura emanating from him.

Su Banxia's fingers subconsciously clenched the drink bottle tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the strain. She was so nervous that her breathing became rapid, and she could even hear her own ragged breathing echoing in her ears.

The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment, the space between them seemed airtight, and every breath of air was filled with an atmosphere of ambiguity and tension.

In Su Banxia's eyes, Lou Jiyun seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the gradually approaching distance made her heart beat faster and faster.

He had just finished taking a shower and exuded a faint minty scent. The fresh breath was like a clear spring. In this suffocating atmosphere, it gently brushed across Su Banxia's nose, refreshing her mind, but also caused an indescribable panic in her heart.

"It didn't hit your eyes? Are you really okay?" Lou Jiyun's voice became even lower. His deep and magnetic voice seemed to carry a bewitching magic, gently echoing in Su Banxia's ears and gently knocking at her heartstrings, causing even greater ripples in her already restless heart.

For some reason, Su Banxia felt her heartbeat suddenly become so heavy it felt like it was about to burst out of her throat. The intense throbbing echoed in her chest, making it almost impossible for her to think. She could only stammer, "Nothing."

"It's red..." Lou Jiyun stared at the place on Su Banxia's face where the straw had poked her. His brows furrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Hmm?" Su Banxia responded subconsciously. Before she could react, the next second, Lou Jiyun's fingers had already gently scraped the place where she was poked by the straw.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air around seemed to be completely sucked out, becoming so thin that it made people suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

Su Banxia only felt that her mind was blank and her body became stiff.

Lou Jiyun's eyes were as dark as the abyss, seemingly capable of sucking you in. Yet, deep within them, a gust of hot wind seemed to swirl, carrying a scorching heat that made her cheeks burn even more intensely. His fingertips gently brushed across her face, and the gentle touch felt like an electric current, instantly spreading throughout Su Banxia's body, causing her heart to beat uncontrollably, pounding against her chest with a rhythm even more violent than the surging waves outside.

Su Banxia's consciousness seemed to have been torn away from her body. All she knew was that her heart was beating so fast it was practically jumping out of her throat. Her eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment as she stared blankly at Lou Jiyun, completely unsure how to react to this sudden act of intimacy.

Lou Jiyu looked at her quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Originally, there was only a slight redness where the straw had poked her, but now, Su Banxia's entire face was as red as a ripe lychee, fresh and juicy, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears, a truly adorable sight. His throat rolled slightly, as if he were swallowing something, his eyes filled with doting and amusement. He chuckled softly, finding her look incredibly adorable, like a frightened little rabbit, and he couldn't help but want to hold her tightly in his arms, offering her endless tenderness and care.

Su Banxia was already upset by Lou Jiyun's series of sudden actions. Her head was like a tangled mess, empty and she couldn't make sense of her thoughts at all.

At this moment, the faint smile on Lou Jiyun's lips was like the brightest sunshine in spring, shining straight into her heart and completely confusing her.

Lou Jiyun wasn't one for laughter. Even when he did smile, it was usually with a formality, polite yet distant, making it hard to discern his true feelings. However, when he was with friends, the smile he occasionally displayed, while more genuine than usual, was completely different from the one he was smiling at this moment.

Today's smile was like the brightest star in the night sky, shining without reservation, illuminating his deep eyes, and the tenderness and pampering in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

This smile was like a sharp arrow, piercing Su Banxia's heart straight, dazzling her eyes, confusing her mind, and making her feel really terrible. She was completely immersed in this sudden throbbing and couldn't extricate herself.

Su Banxia had no idea whether her face was red just now. She just felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, as if there was a fire burning. She could even feel her heartbeat buzzing in her ears.

She lowered her eyes in panic, trying to avoid Lou Jiyun's scorching gaze, but the scorching temperature still spread across her cheeks. She knew that her face must be red as hell.

……

However, the intimate behavior between the two people presented a completely different picture to other people in the swimming pool.

From their perspective, Lou Jiyun's sudden lean forward just happened to block Su Banxia's face. To outsiders, it looked like these two people were... kissing!

"Oh my god, that girl just said that she and Professor Lou were just friends. What are they doing?"

"A professor is indeed a professor. He's a great success. Even his love life is textbook-level!"

"It's a public place after all, please take care of us singles."

……

Su Banxia was completely immersed in her own little world, unaware that the group of people in the swimming pool were talking enthusiastically about her and Lou Jiyun.

At this moment, she had already followed Lou Jiyun out of the swimming pool like a well-behaved little tail. Although she was treating them to dinner today, the choice of the venue was left to Lou Jiyun. After all, he knew which restaurants in Beijing had the most delicious dishes, much better than Su Banxia.

In the past, Su Banxia mostly ate and drank with her brothers or friends. If you really asked her which snack stalls near the school were delicious, she might be able to count on her fingers and list a few, but when it came to those decent restaurants, she was completely clueless and didn't know anything.

Along the way, Su Banxia kept her head down, her eyes fixed on the coconut milk cup in her hand, as if it contained a magical power that could save her from embarrassing situations.

She would take a sip of coconut milk from time to time, thinking to herself that only this bottle of coconut milk could sustain her life, which seemed to be only half left. Her hands were tightly gripping the cup, her knuckles slightly white from the force, and she looked like she was grasping at a lifeline.

As a professor at the same school as Su Banxia, ​​Lou Jiyun was more or less aware of her daily movements and knew that she was busy with the welcome party recently.

"When is the welcome party?" Lou Jiyun tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Su Banxia, ​​with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"This weekend," Su Banxia mumbled, holding the straw she'd bitten into a state of collapse. The straw, torn back and forth between her teeth, seemed to be an outlet for her nervous energy.

"Why do you ask? You want to see the show?"

"I really want to go and see it."

This answer caught Su Banxia off guard. She widened her eyes and almost spit out the coconut milk in her mouth. She coughed violently a few times and her face turned red.

"What? You don't welcome me?" Seeing this, Lou Jiyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly playful smile.

"That's not what I meant. The girls at school would go crazy if you went."

"You usually don't participate in other activities except for classes. If you go this time, it will definitely cause a sensation. After all, you are the idol of all the female students, and the situation will definitely get out of control."
