The students left one after another, and the outside suddenly became very lively, with the crowd surging like a surging tide.

Su Banxia was not short, and her height was relatively outstanding among girls. However, in this mixed crowd of men and women, the tall boys were like moving walls, easily blocking her view.

Su Banxia was extremely anxious, her eyes full of anxiety, and she kept searching for Lou Jiyu's figure in the crowd.

She stood on tiptoe, trying to look around, mumbling from time to time: "Where's Lou Jiyun? Where did he go?"

Although the school representatives had left early, there were still groups of people standing together chatting, with relaxed smiles on their faces, as if they were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the party.

Su Banxia's eyes swept over them one by one, expecting to see Lou Jiyun. However, to her disappointment, after looking around, she didn't see Lou Jiyun.

Lou Jiyu was so tall that he should have been very eye-catching in the crowd and could have been spotted at a glance. But at this moment, he seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace left.

In crowded places, collisions and congestion are inevitable.

Su Banxia had to pay attention to the people around her while trying to find Lou Jiyu. She seemed a little flustered and easily squeezed by others as she was trying to multitask.

Her body swayed with the surge of the crowd and she was almost knocked down several times. She frowned and felt more and more irritated. She thought to herself why not give him a call. As for whether he would go to the dinner or not, that was not her business.

Thinking of this, Su Banxia decided to find a place with fewer people to make a phone call. She began to squeeze to the edge of the crowd with great effort, her steps hurried, and she had to dodge those who were rushing around from time to time.

Little did they know that Lou Jiyun was actually nearby.

In this huge crowd, he seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and saw Su Banxia at a glance.

She stood in the crowd, her skin as white as snow, and her beautiful face made her particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

At this moment, Su Banxia was looking around, her eyes full of anxiety and confusion. She was obviously looking for something. Perhaps it was a wonderful intuition, Lou Jiyun was sure that she was looking for him.

So, he squeezed into the crowd without hesitation and began to walk slowly towards Su Banxia.

The crowded crowd did not stop him at all. He was agile and walked steadily. His eyes were fixed on Su Banxia. He moved through the crowd and gradually got closer and closer to Su Banxia.

In this noisy and crowded crowd, Lou Jiyun easily captured Su Banxia's location with his height advantage.

At this time, Su Banxia, ​​after a futile search, had given up the hope of searching for Lou Jiyu in this vast crowd with the naked eye, and planned to contact him by phone.

But the noisy environment around her made her feel troubled. The constant noise was like an invisible barrier. If she wanted to make a call, she had to find a quieter place.

"Sorry, please move aside." Su Banxia said softly as she moved cautiously, trying to open up a small passage in the crowded crowd.

Her voice was soft and a little anxious, but it seemed so insignificant in this noisy environment.

The people around were in a hurry, everyone was striving to move forward in their own direction and had no time to pay attention to her request.

Although she kept repeating this sentence, it was not easy to make space in this crowded place.

Just when Su Banxia felt somewhat helpless, a familiar and deep voice suddenly came from above her head, "Are you looking for me?"

Su Banxia turned around quickly as if she had heard a life-saving straw.

Lou Jiyun was standing quietly behind her. He was tall and straight, like a pine tree standing among the crowd, with a glimmer of concern in his deep eyes.

Su Banxia opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Lou Jiyun had already raised his hand slightly, pointed in a direction, and said in a steady tone: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it outside."

He glanced at the crowded crowd around him and obviously understood that this was not a suitable place for conversation.

Su Banxia understood what he meant, nodded quickly, and followed closely behind him.

As she walked, she secretly sighed in her heart that being tall really has many advantages. Just like at this moment, Lou Jiyun's tall figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. She only needed to raise her head slightly to see his position at a glance, which made her find a sense of peace of mind in the panic.

Moreover, perhaps because of Lou Jiyun's height and aura, many people would subconsciously give way to him when they saw him approaching, which also provided a lot of convenience for their progress.

However, the reality is not as smooth as imagined.

Although Lou Jiyun was leading the way, there were so many people, like a surging tide, that it was inevitable that someone would squeeze in between the two of them, trying to find their own way out from the narrow gap. Every time someone squeezed in, the distance between Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun would be widened.

Su Banxia's pace obviously couldn't keep up with Lou Jiyun's rhythm. Her legs moved quickly, but she still seemed a little powerless. Seeing the distance between them getting farther and farther, her brows furrowed tightly, and her face was full of anxiety.

She quickened her pace, saying, "Sorry, excuse me, please move aside."

Even though some people would give her a little space after hearing what she said, it still couldn't prevent the distance between her and Lou Jiyun from growing larger and larger.

As Lou Jiyun was walking forward, he turned around inadvertently and found that the little girl who was originally following him was about to be squeezed out by the crowd again.

A trace of worry flashed in Lou Jiyun's eyes. He turned around again without hesitation and walked towards Su Banxia against the direction of the crowd.

"Professor Lou, I..." Su Banxia saw Lou Jiyun turning back in the chaotic crowd. Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she saw the dawn in the darkness, and she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

At this moment, her hair was a little messy, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. Her face was flushed due to anxiety and crowds, and her eyes were full of helplessness and expectation.

To be honest, every time the school holds a large-scale event, the scene at the end is extremely chaotic. The crowded scene is like a surging tide, as if it can swallow people and really take their lives.

Normally, Su Banxia wouldn't have joined the hustle and bustle. She would have chosen to wait quietly in the auditorium until the crowd gradually dispersed, then leisurely depart. But today was different. To complete the task assigned by the chairman and to invite Lou Jiyun to dinner, she had no choice but to bravely navigate the crowded crowd, just to find him.

"Follow closely." Lou Jiyun lowered his eyes slightly, his deep gaze full of concern. He looked at Su Banxia intently, and whispered with unquestionable firmness in his tone.

"There are too many people." Su Banxia frowned slightly, with a helpless look on her face, and she sighed softly.

Just as she was trying to gather herself and prepare to continue following Lou Jiyun, suddenly, a strong flow of people came, shaking her body uncontrollably, and she was almost pushed away again.

However, this time they were lucky enough not to be separated.

Because, the next second, she felt her wrist and forearm being grabbed by a broad and powerful hand.

At that moment, her heart suddenly jumped, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, tightening suddenly. Her breathing instantly became rapid, and her heart began to beat wildly and uncontrollably, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Su Banxia subconsciously followed the hand's direction and caught sight of Lou Jiyun's sharply defined profile. Against the backdrop of the chaotic surroundings, he appeared remarkably calm and composed. His eyes were firm and focused, fixed squarely ahead, as if searching for a safe escape for them.

Su Banxia just stared at him blankly. For a moment, even her breathing stagnated and her mind went blank. It seemed as if the whole world only consisted of the two of them and the hand tightly clasping her wrist. The slightly warm touch made her cheeks heat up quickly, and a charming blush appeared on her face.

In this crowd as crowded as sardines in a can, Lou Jiyun noticed that Su Banxia was about to be swept away again. He exerted a little force on his wrist and pulled her from the surging crowd to his side cleanly and neatly.

He was tall, with long arms and legs, and even his knuckles seemed to be longer than those of an ordinary person. He could easily hold her forearm firmly, as if it was his exclusive territory that no one else could invade.

The night is like a huge piece of black silk, gently enveloping the entire campus. The night wind brings a hint of coolness, blowing slowly, brushing people's faces, making their skin feel cool, as if injecting a touch of tranquility into this noisy world.

However, Lou Jiyun's palm was extremely hot. It pressed against Su Banxia's without reservation, like a burning flame, burning the skin of Su Banxia's forearm. The heat seemed to penetrate her skin and reach her heart.

Su Banxia had originally thought that after pulling her close, Lou Jiyun would loosen his grip. After all, such contact seemed a bit too intimate, and in her opinion, it had already exceeded the boundaries between ordinary friends. She could also clearly feel his fingers loosen.

But fate always seemed to play tricks on her. Lou Jiyun's fingers then slid gently downwards, his movements natural and familiar, as if they were already accustomed to such intimate contact, and he gently clasped her wrist.

"Follow closely." Lou Jiyun's voice was ruthlessly dispersed and disappeared by the noisy crowd. When the faint voice fell into Su Banxia's ears, it had become very light, as if it was a breeze coming from a distant place.

But at this moment, Su Banxia had no energy to care about what he was saying. Her entire attention was drawn to the hand tightly clasping her wrist.

She only felt that there seemed to be a constant flow of heat emanating from Lou Jiyun's palms, and the heat spread rapidly, so that her palms were already covered with sweat.

The heart, which had just felt a little relieved, was instantly lifted up again by a powerful force, and the heartbeat became even more violent. At this moment, the crowds, noise, collisions around... everything seemed to disappear in an instant.

The whole world seemed to have pressed the mute button and became silent. Only she and Lou Jiyun were left. Her eyes only saw his tall and straight figure and the hand tightly clasped around her wrist...

Overwhelmed by extreme tension and excitement, Su Banxia felt as if she was at the center of a storm. Everything around her became blurry and unreal, and only the sound of her own heartbeat, as chaotic as a drum, made her eardrums hurt.

Her cheeks seemed to be dyed by the sunset in the sky, and the blush deepened layer by layer on her face, spreading from her cheeks to her ears, and the scorching temperature seemed to ignite the air around her.

She felt more and more that this place was too crowded, with people pressed against each other, shoulder to shoulder. Every slight movement was like waves hitting the rocks, causing her body to sway involuntarily.

An invisible pressure weighed heavily on her heart, squeezing it so tightly that even the air seemed to become thinner.

In fact, compared to Su Banxia, ​​isn’t Lou Jiyun also experiencing an inner storm?

Amidst the surging crowd, he watched Su Banxia being jostled around, his heart filled with pity and heartache. He longed to hold her close behind him, to embrace her in his arms. He mentally prepared himself for this moment. Finally, at that moment, as if making up his mind, he reached out and grasped her arm.

At that moment, when his fingers touched her skin, it was as if an electric current ran through his body. He was probably reluctant to let go of this hard-earned contact. After all, they had already touched it. So, as if possessed by a ghost, he simply grabbed her wrist gently again.

He knew very well that such an action might seem a bit abrupt to others, and in the world of love, actions that were too abrupt could easily offend others.

His heart was filled with worry, and his eyes fell on Su Banxia's face from time to time, fearing that she would shake off his hand without hesitation in the next second. However, fortunately, she did not.

Under Lou Jiyun's guidance, the two finally walked out of the crowded crowd.

Although Lou Jiyun felt extremely reluctant, he remained calm and unobtrusively released Su Banxia's hand. He turned around and faced her directly, looking at her calmly and saying calmly, "There were a lot of people there just now."

"Yeah." Su Banxia nodded gently. Under his deep gaze, the heat on her face became hotter and hotter. Her heart was still beating fast, as if she was walking on cotton, with a sense of weightlessness.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lou Jiyun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Well... there's a dinner after the student union party, and the chairman asked me to ask you if you're free to go have dinner together." Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.

"Are you going too?"

"Ah."

"Where is the location?"

"The student union's dinner venue is at a restaurant on the snack street."

Su Banxia raised her head slightly, glanced at him, and then took him towards the snack street at the east gate.

As we got further away from the crowd, the surrounding environment became quieter and quieter.

Just when Su Banxia thought the whole journey would remain silent, Lou Jiyun suddenly spoke up, "Are you going home for the holidays?"

"Yes, my friend is coming over, so I might as well go back with him." Su Banxia tilted her head slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Friends..." Lou Jiyun nodded thoughtfully, "I'm going back this week, and I have friends who want to see me."

"Really?" Su Banxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile.

She muttered to herself, this has nothing to do with her, why should I tell her.
