After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

Night fell over the city, and Su Banxia returned home, dragging her slightly tired but slightly excited body.

The room was silent, a soft light casting a shadow on the floor, illuminating her slender figure. She walked straight to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. The cool water flowed out, dancing on her fingertips. She scooped up a pool of clear water and gently splashed it on her face, trying to wash away the day's fatigue.

However, when her fingers accidentally touched her cheek, the memory of her time with Lou Jiyun today flooded back to her mind. She clearly remembered Lou Jiyun's deep eyes, and the gentle, yet electric touch of his fingers brushing against her cheek. Instantly, her cheeks flushed again, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

She closed her eyes slightly, trying hard to calm her panic, but her thoughts became increasingly out of control.

The motions of washing her face unconsciously slowed down, and the image of Lou Jiyun emerging from the swimming pool resurfaced before her eyes. His figure was slender, and the water droplets slid down his perfectly defined muscles, gleaming captivatingly in the sunlight. The scene was so captivating that it made her heart beat even faster.

"It's really terrible." Su Banxia murmured in a low voice, her voice full of helplessness and confusion.

There is never a shortage of good-looking and exquisite people around her. Take her two brothers Su Zeqi and Su Jingmo for example, they are also particularly outstanding in appearance. She has seen so many handsome guys in her daily life that she always thought she had become "immune" to them. But she didn't expect that she would be obsessed with Lou Jiyun now.

They had known each other since childhood, and she had always treated Lou Jiyun as her brother for so many years. Later, when she was studying, he became a professor, but his face had always been the same. For some reason, it felt completely different today, as if she had been cast under some kind of magic, and she could not extricate herself from it.

With a heart full of entanglement and confusion, Su Banxia changed into comfortable pajamas and lay lazily on the bed.

The phone screen suddenly lit up, and group messages kept popping up. It was the Su family group.

She unlocked the screen out of curiosity and saw that the group was enthusiastically discussing a dinner for her at the beginning of the school year.

[Big Brother: We've been discussing this for so long, why haven't I seen my little sister show up?]

[Mother: I don't know what's wrong with Xia Xia lately. She rarely hangs out in the group.]

【Second Brother: Something’s happening.】

[Father: What do you mean? Which brat is it?]

[Second Brother: I don’t know, but there must be something going on! ]

Su Banxia looked at the messages and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She was about to type a rebuttal when she saw her second brother sent another message.

[Ban Ge Xia Tian: ...Second brother! I don't have any information, please don't talk nonsense.]

[Second Brother: Look at someone getting anxious, bubbling up, it seems like they've been peeking at the screen!]

[Half Summer: You...Second Sister-in-law, please take care of him @D]

[Second sister-in-law: I'm sorry, I can't control you. I also want to know if there's something wrong with my little sister!]

[Sister-in-law: What's wrong? Is there really something wrong?]

[Half Summer: That’s not true!!! My second brother is just talking nonsense!]

Grandma: Oh, my little granddaughter has a boyfriend?

Mrs. Su, who had not been active for a long time, suddenly appeared, and the atmosphere in the group became even more lively.

[Second brother: Yes, grandma. She was out all day today. She must have gone on a date.]

[Father: What? Someone is here?]

[Mother: What a great relationship! I'm going to have a son-in-law!]

Su Banxia looked at the messages and was so anxious that she almost jumped out of bed. She quickly typed a clarification.

Ban Xia Tian: No, I went out with Professor Lou today. He did me a favor before, so I treated him to a meal. It’s that simple!

After sending the message, Su Banxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, silently praying that her family would not ask any more questions. She had lied a little; she couldn't let her family know the real reason why she invited Lou Jiyun to dinner, or she would be in trouble.

[Big Brother: Oh, it’s him, then it’s okay, I thought it was some young man!]

[Sister-in-law: Lou Jiyun, he seems to be single. Xia Xia is his childhood sweetheart and his older brother, and they are professors at the same school. We could develop a relationship!]

[Father: No, I don't agree. Lou Jiyun is older and Xia Xia is still young. There's no rush!]

[Mother: Shut up, Su Liuxing. What's wrong with Jiyun? I think Jianqiu is right. She knows everything about him, and she'll be more caring when she's older!]

Grandma: I think that kid is pretty good too!

A heated discussion immediately broke out in the group around Lou Jiyun, with various opinions clashing. Su Banxia felt overwhelmed when she saw the news.

Su Banxia was so upset when she saw this that she almost threw her phone away. She couldn't stand this messy group chat anymore, so she reluctantly left the group chat.

Just as she exited the group chat, another notification popped up on her phone screen. Someone wanted to add her on WeChat. She clicked on it, full of confusion...

When Su Banxia saw the three words "Loujiyun" displayed in the verification message on the mobile phone screen, she felt as if her heart was gently touched by an invisible hand, and her heart began to beat violently.

Her eyes were wide open, staring at the friend adding message without blinking, her breathing became rapid, and her heart was beating as if there was a little rabbit in it. An unprecedented and strange feeling quickly spread in her heart, making her feel a little at a loss.

Looking back, her communication with Lou Jiyun almost entirely relied on the phone.

Every time they went out to play, because they were in the same school, her brother was always worried about her and would ask Lou Jiyun to give her a ride.

At that time, their communication was limited to phone calls and they had never added each other on WeChat, so in her cognition, her communication with Lou Jiyun had always been simple and pure.

Su Banxia couldn't help but guess that he must have added her through her mobile phone number.

Her eyes fell on the screen again, and when she saw Lou Jiyun's profile picture, she was slightly startled. It was a cup of coconut milk, completely different from the male profile pictures she usually saw, and it seemed particularly unique. She couldn't help but think of her brothers and her father's profile pictures. They all had the same loving wife persona, and their profile pictures were all of their wives' backs, full of love.

The avatars of other male friends in her circle of friends are mostly landscape photos, anime characters, or pictures related to their hobbies. Each of them has a distinct personality label.

For a moment, Lou Jiyun's move to use coconut milk as his profile picture stirred a small ripple in her heart, making her even more curious. She subconsciously bit her lower lip, leaving a faint mark on her pink lips, her eyes full of entanglement and hesitation.

After a long while, she seemed to muster up great courage, and gently clicked the "Agree" button with her finger. Then she sent a greeting emoticon, trying to make her response seem more natural.

As soon as she sent the message, her curiosity drove her to click on Lou Jiyun's WeChat Moments. However, what she saw was a blank space, devoid of any content. Could professor life be so boring? This made her feel a little disappointed.

But soon, her attention was drawn to the background of the WeChat Moments post: two bottles of coconut milk placed side by side, looking particularly warm under the soft light. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, wondering: Does he really like coconut milk?

At that time, Su Banxia would never have thought that in the days to come, she would gradually understand that what he liked was not coconut milk, but her.

This seemingly simple profile picture and background actually concealed his deep and unspeakable love for her, but she had not noticed it at the time. This love, like a quietly planted seed, will slowly take root, sprout, and bloom into gorgeous flowers in the future.

That night, Su Banxia fell into a strange dream.

In her dream, she was beside a huge, empty swimming pool. The air around her seemed to be filled with the coolness of water vapor. The sunlight shimmered on the shimmering water, reflecting a variety of colors.

Suddenly, a splash erupted in the center of the pool, and Lou Jiyun emerged from the water. His figure was slender, and water droplets slid down his body like pearls, gleaming in the sunlight. He walked towards her step by step, each step firm and powerful, as if the whole world was left with only the two of them.

Su Banxia's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and she watched Lou Jiyun getting closer and closer nervously.

Finally, Lou Jiyun arrived in front of her, leaned down slightly, raised his hand and gently touched her face. His fingers were cool like the pool, but they made Su Banxia's cheeks instantly hot. Then, in a low, hoarse voice like mellow wine, Lou Jiyun whispered in her ear, "Banxia, ​​your face is red."

At that moment, Su Banxia jolted awake, her breathing still rapid, her face still flushed from her dream. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the bright sunlight outside the window, and realized it was already dinnertime.

Since she was about to start school, her family was extra tolerant of her and let her sleep as long as she wanted.

She stretched lazily, yawned, and walked into the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, she put on loose home clothes and walked downstairs slowly.

However, there was no one downstairs and the whole house seemed unusually quiet.

Only then did she remember that her eldest brother had accompanied her eldest sister-in-law to the prenatal check-up, her father had been busy helping her eldest brother with company business recently and had left home early in the morning, her mother and grandmother had gone out to visit friends and enjoy some leisure time, and her second brother and sister-in-law had also gone to work early and were busy running around for a living.

When the housekeeper saw her coming downstairs, he hurried over to greet her with a gentle smile on his face. He said, "Miss, you're awake. I'll go get you lunch."

Su Banxia smiled, nodded, and said "thank you".

Su Banxia sat alone at the dining table, enjoying the lunch carefully prepared by the housekeeper.

After dinner, she came to the living room and sat on the soft sofa to rest. The sunlight shining through the window on her made her feel particularly comfortable.

At that moment, the phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated. She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the caller ID, which read "Friends."

Seeing this note, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile. The person who called was her sworn brother Bai Su, the son of her father's good brother. They grew up together and were true childhood sweethearts.

However, since Bai Su's family moved to another city, they have not seen each other for a long time and have been in contact through the Internet.

Su Banxia reached out and picked up the phone and answered it. She was in a good mood. She joked in a light-hearted tone: "It's the weekend, and you're up so early? Shouldn't you sleep until the afternoon every day and be energetic at night?" After saying that, she couldn't help laughing out loud, as if she had already seen Bai Su's expression on the other end of the phone.

Bai Su's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. "School is about to start, so I wanted to come see you. Otherwise, I won't have the chance again. It's rare to have such a long vacation."

"Well, that's fine. I'll pick you up whenever you come. But school starts earlier here than it does for me. If you come later, I might not be able to stay with you for long," Su Banxia said without hesitation, her eyes gleaming with sincerity. She was already looking forward to meeting Bai Su, imagining what they would talk about and do together.

"That's no big deal. I can play by myself, but... do you provide food and drinks?" Bai Su asked with a smile, with a hint of teasing and coquettishness in his tone.

"It's still wrapped. Are you satisfied?" Su Banxia responded with a smile. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes and her face was filled with a happy smile.

Because he and Bai Su grew up together and have a deep friendship, there is naturally not so much courtesy and restraint between them, and they get along with each other as comfortably as family.

When Su Banxia learned that her childhood sweetheart Bai Su would come to visit her in a while, she felt like she had been injected with a dose of stimulant and became extremely motivated to do everything.

She counted the days on her fingers every day, looking forward to her reunion with Bai Su, imagining that they would chat about everything and share every detail of each other's lives after meeting.

However, the days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was her first day of school, but her childhood sweetheart still hadn't contacted her. Although Su Banxia felt a little disappointed, she consoled herself by thinking that maybe Bai Su was delayed by something, and she could only wait for him to come over on the weekend to have a good reunion.

That day, after Su Banxia finished rehearsing for the welcome party, she was about to go back to the dormitory to rest, but was inexplicably stopped by her senior schoolmate. The senior schoolmate looked mysterious and told her that the chairman was looking for her.

When Su Banxia heard the news, she was stunned. Full of doubts, she followed her senior to the chairman's office.

As soon as he entered the room, Su Banxia politely asked, "Chairman, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The chairman raised his head, his eyes fell on Su Banxia, ​​and said with a smile: "I heard that Professor Lou is your neighbor's brother, right?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Su Banxia was slightly stunned, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Don't be nervous." The chairman waved his hand and explained, "Professor Lou might come to our welcome party tonight. As you know, I'm really busy here, and I have a lot of school leaders to entertain. I originally suggested finding someone to specifically greet Professor Lou, but he said it wasn't necessary. He's a professor himself and familiar with the school. However, I thought this would be Professor Lou's first time attending such an event, so I wanted to treat him well. So, I wanted you to help me entertain Professor Lou."

"Chairman, I..." Su Banxia hesitated upon hearing this, wanting to refuse. She knew Lou Jiyun was no ordinary professor. He was known for his strictness at school, and his unpredictable demeanor was unsmiling. No one knew when he would offend her over the slightest thing, so hosting him was a difficult task.

"Is there a problem? Even though you are his student, just based on the relationship of being the girl next door, he shouldn't make things difficult for you." The chairman seemed to see Su Banxia's hesitation and tried to dispel her concerns.

"It's not this reason, I..." Su Banxia wanted to explain further, but before she could finish her words, the chairman's cell phone suddenly rang.

The chairman picked up the phone and after listening to a few words, his face became solemn. He hurriedly said, "Sorry, I have something urgent to do," and left the office in a hurry, leaving Su Banxia standing there alone, at a loss.

In fact, the rumor that Professor Lou might attend the welcome party had spread like wildfire throughout the student union. To most people, it sounded like a perfect opportunity. After all, if they could establish a good relationship with Professor Lou, they might gain many advantages in their studies and other aspects of school, perhaps even not having to worry about graduation credits.

However, Su Banxia knew in her heart that this matter was not that simple. This person was Lou Jiyun! During his normal teaching time, he was extremely strict with his students, with very high standards for homework and exams, and few students could easily meet his expectations.

Moreover, he always had a serious face and rarely smiled, which made people feel that he was difficult to approach. In class, although he explained the problems thoroughly, if the students were not serious or answered incorrectly, he would point it out mercilessly. His strict attitude often made students feel intimidated.

Su Banxia was once criticized by him for a small mistake in her homework. In Su Banxia's opinion, entertaining Lou Jiyun was not an easy task. She would rather not take over this task than take the risk. If she accidentally offended him, it would be a loss!

In reality, the seniors above them all knew exactly what was happening; they all knew hosting Lou Jiyun was a difficult task, so they were doing everything they could to push it onto Su Banxia. If this was truly a good job, according to past practice, it would have been snatched up by someone with ulterior motives long ago, leaving her with no chance of getting a chance.

Just like that, Su Banxia was pushed into this awkward position with an innocent look on her face. She originally thought that after the dinner, they would no longer have any intersection. After all, in the new semester, she no longer had Professor Lou's classes. Who knew that such a thing would happen again? Thinking of the WeChat account that they had not chatted about until now, she sighed helplessly, not knowing how to deal with what happened next.
