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

Su Banxia thought that Lou Jiyun accompanied her all the way here to attend the student union dinner, after all, they had already reached the restaurant door.

However, just as she was about to step into the restaurant, Lou Jiyun suddenly stopped.

"Then go in." Lou Jiyun's voice was particularly clear in the quiet night. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Su Banxia softly, with a faint smile on his face.

"Aren't you going in with me?" Su Banxia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pointed to the restaurant a few steps away, her eyes full of confusion.

The light from the restaurant entrance shone on her face, reflecting her slightly surprised expression.

"I'm not going. I still have some work to deal with." Lou Jiyun shook his head with a hint of apology in his tone.

"then you……"

Su Banxia had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, Lou Jiyun seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He just smiled gently, and that smile was as warm as a spring breeze. "It's too dark, and it's getting late. I'll feel more at ease if I take you here."

At this time, the party ended at half past nine. The night had already completely enveloped the earth, and the surrounding streets seemed especially quiet under the dim street lights.

It was indeed getting late. Su Banxia's heart stirred slightly, and an indescribable emotion quietly spread within her. For some reason, at this moment, she even felt a little delirious. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to burst through. She secretly worried that in such a quiet environment, her deafening heartbeat might be heard by him.

Lou Jiyun watched Su Banxia walk into the restaurant and saw her figure disappear behind the restaurant door. Then he turned and left, his back gradually disappearing into the night.

After Su Banxia entered the restaurant, she didn't immediately head to the private room. As if drawn by an invisible force, she furtively peeked at the door, her eyes fixed on Lou Jiyun until he completely disappeared into the night.

When she finally arrived at the box, the chairman quickly noticed her arrival, walked over quickly, and asked with a concerned smile on his face, "Where is Professor Lou?"

"Professor Lou is gone." Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

How could she dare to say that Lou Jiyun had walked her all the way to the door before leaving? If this were to be known by everyone, with their gossipy nature, it would probably cause a sensation in the entire student union.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. It's normal for him not to come. We were just trying it out. You've worked hard tonight." The chairman seemed to notice her nervousness and smiled comfortingly, "Hurry up and sit down. We'll be eating soon."

Su Banxia nodded and found a place to sit down.

However, before she could recover from her shock, many people gathered around her, most of them girls. They asked about Lou Jiyun's situation, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

As a girl, Su Banxia knew certain things well, even if they weren't spoken out loud. Lou Jiyun usually gave people an aloof and distant aura, which made many girls afraid to approach him easily.

But this doesn't mean they don't have any feelings for him. Behind these seemingly calm inquiries, hidden are hearts full of admiration for Lou Jiyun.

Su Banxia listened to their words silently, but Lou Jiyun's deep eyes and gentle smile involuntarily emerged in her mind, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

"I'm not that familiar with him." Su Banxia lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and there was a barely perceptible evasion in her voice.

Perhaps she had some unspeakable selfish desires in her heart, and she did not want to share Lou Jiyun's meticulous and thoughtful side with these curious girls in front of her. In her heart, those special moments with Lou Jiyun were like treasures that belonged to her alone, and she did not want others to see them.

"Aren't you childhood sweethearts? Aren't your brothers close to him? Is he also cold to you? Don't you guys chat?" A girl had a puzzled look on her face, and threw out a series of questions like a machine gun, her eyes full of desire for gossip, staring at Su Banxia closely.

"That's because my brothers are familiar with him, so I took advantage of them. Apart from having dinner with my brothers, we don't keep in touch privately." Su Banxia bit her lower lip slightly. What she said was half true and half false.

It is true that they did not contact each other privately, but those accidental encounters and interactions left a deep impression in her heart.

"Okay, stop asking. Don't you all know what kind of person Professor Lou is? I guess the junior is already very nervous sitting with him. How can she dare to talk to him? Besides, Professor Lou is a man of few words." At this time, a senior student spoke up to smooth things over. She waved her hand with a sophisticated smile on her face.

"That's true. Talking to him is harder than climbing to the sky." Another girl echoed, sighing softly, her eyes full of regret.

"By the way, the student representative who spoke today is so handsome." Someone suddenly said this, and in an instant, the topic was blown off course as if by a gust of wind, and everyone's attention was shifted to the handsome student representative.

Everyone was discussing the matter, their laughter and chatter mixing in. After the topic was diverted, no one paid attention to Su Banxia anymore.

Lou Jiyun, a man of few words? Upon hearing this assessment, Su Banxia couldn't help but frown slightly, a faint frown forming between her brows.

She wondered to herself, where did this rumor come from? In her memory, Lou Jiyun didn't seem like a particularly talkative person, but he was definitely not a taciturn person. On the contrary, every time he opened his mouth, he would say something that caught her off guard. Those words were like keys, easily unlocking some corner of her heart, and each time she was at a loss and confused.

Su Banxia subconsciously raised her hand and gently touched the wrist that Lou Jiyun had just touched.

At this time, the heat he left on the surface of her skin had long dissipated, but the heat seemed to penetrate deep into her skin, leaving a mark on her wrist that was neither light nor heavy.

Whenever she thought of that moment, her heart would beat like a deer in her chest, her cheeks would instantly become hot, and her eyes would become a little blurry, as if she had returned to that crowded scene and the moment when he had held her wrist tightly. Everything around her became blurry, and only his figure and that hot touch were deeply imprinted in her mind.

After leaving school, Lou Jiyun did not go straight home, but hurried to the company.

He is the youngest son in the family, with two older brothers who have already established their own families and careers, and are significantly older than him. Growing up, he was meticulously cared for by his brothers. As an adult, driven by his passion for knowledge and a desire to pursue a career in education, he resolutely chose a teaching career. However, he remained committed to the family business, maintaining a certain level of involvement and dedication.

Originally, he had carefully planned his time, thinking that after tonight's party, he would devote himself to handling the company's business and solve the backlog of work one by one, so that he could free up full time in the upcoming weekend to ask Su Banxia out for dinner.

In his heart, his feelings for Su Banxia have quietly taken root, and after careful consideration, he has confirmed his feelings and feels that it is time to take the initiative. He longs to have more in-depth exchanges with Su Banxia to take their relationship to the next level.

What he didn't expect was that Su Banxia had already made an appointment with a friend. He felt a small sense of disappointment when he heard the news, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. He told himself it wasn't a big deal. After all, there was still a lot of time to come, and there would be plenty of opportunities to spend time with Su Banxia.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on him. What Lou Jiyun never expected was that he had thought Su Banxia's friend would be one of her classmates, most likely a girl, but the reality was completely different from his imagination. The other party turned out to be a boy.

What's more coincidental is that he bumped into this "male friend" at an inadvertent moment.

At that moment, an indescribable complex emotion suddenly surged into his heart, including surprise, confusion, and a hint of jealousy that he himself was unwilling to admit.

The day after the welcome party was Monday. The campus returned to its usual intense and orderly learning rhythm, and Su Banxia plunged into busy courses.

During this week, every day from the moment the first rays of sunlight shone into the campus in the early morning, she would shuttle between the various teaching buildings, busy with teaching, taking notes, and discussing problems.

During class, the classroom is always filled with an atmosphere of thirst for knowledge. Some students listen attentively, some lower their heads to take notes, and many others take advantage of the time when the teacher turns around to quietly discuss with the students next to them how to arrange the upcoming weekend.

After all, this is the first weekend after school starts, and everyone is eager to temporarily put aside the pressure of study and go out and relax with classmates they haven't seen for a long time.

Some people plan to visit nearby attractions and experience the charm of nature; others have bought tickets home early, looking forward to reuniting with their families.

In the past two days, Su Banxia has focused all her energy on her studies, and it seems that she and Lou Jiyun have really had no contact.

In the past, when Lou Jiyun took her elective course, she would see him in class several times a week. His eloquent speech at the podium always attracted the attention of many students.

But now that she no longer has elective courses, she hasn't seen him for a week. Su Banxia sometimes thinks of him inadvertently on campus, but her busy study life quickly makes her put the thought behind her.

However, time passed quickly, and soon it was time for Bai Su to come over.

Su Banxia had no classes in the afternoon that day, so as soon as the morning class ended, she went to the cafeteria with her roommate.

The cafeteria was bustling with people, and students were lining up to choose their favorite meals. Su Banxia ordered some food and found a place to sit down with her roommate. While eating, she was thinking about her afternoon schedule in her mind, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face from time to time.

After dinner, Su Banxia hurried back to the dormitory, washed her face simply, and began to look for suitable clothes in the closet. She opened the closet door and swept her eyes over each piece of clothing, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. After a while, she finally picked out a piece of clothing that she was satisfied with and quickly changed into it.

"You're so excited because your childhood sweetheart is here." Seeing her look, her roommate couldn't help but tease her with a smirk on his face.

"You grew up together, is it really impossible? He's the same age as you, handsome, and takes care of you so much." Another roommate came over and asked curiously.

Su Banxia smiled at her roommate's teasing, shook her head helplessly, and said, "I've already said it, we're just friends."

"There's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women." The roommate obviously didn't believe it and continued to ask, with a look of curiosity and inquiry on his face.

"He is like my brother." Su Banxia explained again.

"You two are not related by blood." The roommate still insisted and looked at her with a smile.

……

Su Banxia was too lazy to continue explaining to them. She felt that the more she explained, the more unclear it would become.

So she quickly packed her things, picked up her bag and went out, running towards the high-speed rail station happily.

Along the way, the scene of meeting Bai Su kept appearing in her mind. She imagined what they would talk about and what they would do. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile.

*

Even after the Lunar New Year, Beijing was still bustling with activity, throngs of people thronging the streets. The bus that ran directly to the high-speed rail station from the school gate slowly made its way through the bustling streets, stopping and starting occasionally.

Su Banxia was extremely anxious in the car. She looked out the window from time to time, then looked down at her watch, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness. Although she had made preparations early in the morning, the traffic congestion was beyond her expectations.

Finally, the shuttle bus arrived at the high-speed rail station.

Su Banxia quickly stood up and followed the crowd out of the car. She hurried through the crowd, looking around for that familiar figure.

From a distance, she saw Bai Su carrying a black suitcase. At this moment, he was standing at the agreed place with his arms folded, with a hint of impatience on his face. From time to time, he looked around, as if looking for something.

Bai Su's hair was naturally curly, but not overly so. The ends curled slightly, adding just the right touch of playfulness and casualness. He wore a simple white T-shirt, paired with light blue jeans, and a jacket casually draped over his arm. His long legs stood straight, his posture erect, making him appear exceptionally tall. His skin was as white as snow, and his features were as delicate as a meticulously crafted work of art. To describe him as beautiful was no exaggeration.

Bai Su has perfectly inherited his father's handsomeness and his mother's brightness, a perfect blend of both. He is like the sun in winter, warm and full of energy, attracting everyone's attention wherever he goes.

In terms of study, he excelled and had always been among the top students in the class since he was young.

Su Banxia and Bai Su have loved comparing their grades since they were young. This healthy competition has become a unique way for them to get along with each other. Even after Bai Su's family moved away, they never stopped communicating and would share each other's grades on WeChat after every exam.

It is precisely because of this special connection that their relationship has become closer and closer. Compared to her two brothers who are a few years older than her, this childhood sweetheart who is the same age as her is her closest playmate.

At this moment, Bai Su crossed his arms, exuding a faint laziness. He frowned slightly, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickened her pace, waving at him as she ran, and shouted, "Bai Su! I'm here!"
