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

Su Banxia just responded in a muffled voice, with a hint of depression in her voice.

Bai Su was keenly aware that she was in a bad mood, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to change the subject in an attempt to cheer her up again.

"Do you have any plans for today? There are several good movies during the Spring Festival that are still being shown. Do you want to go together?" Bai Su knew that Su Banxia had a special liking for movies, so he deliberately led the topic in this direction.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Su Banxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. Although this smile was not as bright as usual, it at least showed some life.

"What do you want to see? I think you need to book tickets in advance."

……

Since the two tables were not far from each other, the conversation between Su Banxia and Bai Su was heard intermittently by Lou Jiyun.

He listened quietly, and gradually, he understood that the person in front of him was the friend Su Banxia was talking about, and the two of them were planning to go to the movies together. It seemed that their relationship was indeed very close.

While listening, Lou Jiyun also learned the other person's name - Bai Su.

As soon as he heard the name, he felt it was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but for a moment, his memory was a little vague.

Bai, Bai Su...

Lou Jiyun narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. His mind was like a projector, quickly recalling past memories.

In a trance, he remembered that it was Su Jingmo who mentioned the Bai family to him.

I remember Su Jingmo said that the Bai family was their neighbor when they were children. Later, the family moved away due to career development. Although the two families were separated, the contact between them has never been interrupted.

Lou Jiyun still remembers that when he was a child, he went to the Su family to play with Su Zeqi and Su Jingmo, and he also saw the two children from the Bai family. However, at that time, his mind was focused on playing with the Su brothers, and he did not pay attention to irrelevant things, so he did not take the Bai family's affairs to heart.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he did have an impression of the name Bai Su.

If the person before him was indeed a child of the Bai family, then based on the friendship between their fathers, Su Banxia and Bai Su should have grown up together. They were childhood sweethearts, close and inseparable from childhood. Although they later separated, he often heard Su Zeqi mention that the Su and Bai families had always maintained contact.

Thinking of this, a complex emotion flashed in Lou Jiyun's eyes, including understanding and a hint of unspeakable loss.

Bai Su sat at the dining table, eating leisurely and sipping lychee wine, but his eyes were always on Su Banxia, ​​intentionally or unintentionally.

Not only that, he would also secretly observe Lou Jiyun at the other table from time to time. After all, the youngest son of the Lou family was quite famous in the capital, so Bai Su was naturally curious about him.

However, every time their eyes accidentally met, although Lou Jiyun had no obvious expression on his face, Bai Su felt a sudden chill at the back of his neck, as if a cold gaze penetrated him straight through, making him couldn't help but have a thought in his heart - there was murderous intent!

He secretly wondered why this man was so fierce. This was the first time they had met since they grew up, and it was impossible for him to offend him.

"Xia Xia..." Bai Su called out softly twice. It was not until the second time that Su Banxia came back to her senses.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Su Banxia raised her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and it was obvious that her thoughts had just drifted elsewhere.

"What are you daydreaming about? Eat, the food is getting cold." Bai Su raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Su Banxia's bowl.

But beneath this seemingly ordinary action, his eyes revealed a hint of inquiry, and he was secretly observing Su Banxia's reaction.

Because the two of them were too familiar with each other, Bai Su could keenly notice any abnormality in Su Banxia.

He took a sip of wine calmly, his gaze lingering on Su Banxia for a moment, then swept towards Lou Jiyun inconspicuously.

Then, he looked at Su Banxia again and called out, "Xia Xia."

"Hmm?" Su Banxia responded with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"How does your soda taste?" Bai Su pretended to be nonchalant, speaking in a relaxed and casual tone, as if asking casually.

"I just think it tastes good." Su Banxia answered truthfully without thinking too much.

"Let me have a sip too." Bai Su said with a sly smile on his face. He deliberately stretched out his hand, pretending to grab the soda in Su Banxia's hand.

"If you want to drink, order your own. Why are you snatching mine?" Su Banxia retracted her hand and said angrily.

Although they had a good relationship and often shared food, she still felt it was inconvenient to let Bai Su touch the food that had already been eaten.

"Stingy." Bai Su smiled lightly, the smile on his face still bright.

But the moment he looked up, his eyes met Lou Jiyun's. This time, he felt the chill on the back of his neck become even stronger, as if a cold wind was blowing past.

Bai Su subconsciously lowered his head and took a sip of wine, trying to ease this inexplicable tension.

At this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and a slight headache arose in his heart. This complicated situation made him a little confused.

*

The night was as dark as ink, slowly falling and gently enveloping the entire world. The sea breeze blowing from Hainan was slightly cool, like a delicate gauze, gently brushing across the face. However, this sea breeze could hardly blow away the scorching heat accumulated during the day, and the air was still filled with a hint of stuffiness.

Bai Su sat at the dining table, lowered his head slightly, and gently shook the wine glass in his hand. The light pink lychee wine swayed gracefully in the glass.

He took a sip from time to time and chatted with Su Banxia.

Although he tried hard to create a relaxed atmosphere, he could clearly sense that the little childhood sweetheart beside him was not in a good mood tonight.

And all this seems to have started with the emergence of Loujiyun.

This is not because Bai Su has extraordinary insight, but because he and Su Banxia have known each other for many years and have a close relationship. They can understand each other's eyes and subtle movements.

The huge contrast in Su Banxia's emotions before and after was like a light in the dark night in his eyes, which was hard to ignore.

Su Banxia also realized that her current state was not appropriate. Bai Su had come from afar to be with her, so how could she let his interest be affected by her low mood?

So, she took a deep breath, forced a smile, raised her head, looked at Bai Su sincerely, and said, "I only have two days off this weekend, so I can't be with you all the time. What are your plans next?"

Bai Su raised his eyebrows slightly, a teasing smile playing on the corner of his mouth, and responded: "Didn't you say that after I come over, you have to accompany me to eat and play. What, are you going to regret it now?"

"I didn't say I'd play with you. I said I'd provide food and drinks." Su Banxia shook her head slightly, with a hint of anger in her tone, but she couldn't help but smile on her face.

The two have been together for many years, and such bickering is like a daily spice for them, full of fun.

"Oh, this makes me so sad. I came all this way here, and you won't even stay with me." Bai Su pretended to be sad, wiping away non-existent tears. "What am I going to do these next few days? I can only wander around this strange city alone."

Su Banxia rolled her eyes at his exaggerated performance. "Come on, stop trying to be pathetic. Even though you've been away from Jing City for a long time, Jing City hasn't changed much. It's not as strange as you say."

"What's so interesting about those attractions? It's useless to visit them without someone to accompany me." Bai Su curled his lips in disgust, then changed the subject, his eyes suddenly brightening, "You don't have time to accompany me, so I'll go accompany you."

"Accompany me? How?" Su Banxia looked puzzled, tilting her head to look at Bai Su, her eyes full of curiosity.

"I'll go to class with you!" Bai Su said excitedly, "I'm quite curious about what your university classes are like. Maybe if I go, I can even be your bodyguard and protect you from being harassed by those who like you."

"You never beat me in a fight when we were kids!"

"That's because I let you go. Besides, you and my sister teamed up to bully me. You wouldn't be able to beat me in a one-on-one fight!" Bai Su said seriously, "But I'm not kidding. If any boy dared to be interested in you, I could tell at a glance and scare him away."

"Just you? And you're scaring others away? They might be taller and stronger than you."

"Then I'll reason with him and ask him to stay away from you." Bai Su said seriously, "After all, you are my sister who grew up with me. I can't let others bully you."

"Okay, okay, I know you're the best."

……

Lou Jiyun sat at the table, his slender fingers gently caressing the glass beside him. It was an iced drink, the outer wall of the glass covered with fine water droplets, like a layer of crystal gauze. At this moment, the water droplets slowly slid down the bottle, leaving winding water marks on the wooden table.

His eyes fell on the falling water droplets, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted to Su Banxia and Bai Su.

Accompanying the class...

These words kept echoing in his mind. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, Professor Lou, you are so unkind. Let's come over here. What do you want to drink? Come, have some beer." The two friends who were traveling with him felt a little disappointed when they saw that Lou Jiyun was still drinking. One of them couldn't help but speak up.

As soon as he finished speaking, another person reached out and swiftly snatched Lou Jiyun's drink cup. Then, he brought him a clean cup and poured a full cup of beer into it. The foam instantly surged and almost overflowed from the cup.

"It seems we haven't seen each other like this since we graduated. Time flies so fast. Do you remember the tall and thin guy in the next dormitory who got up early to memorize books all day long..."

"I remember him waking up earlier than the chickens every morning and not playing games. I thought he was quite strange at the time. In college, everyone wants to relax, but he studied like he was in high school."

"I heard you're getting married on National Day this year."

"Oh my god, which girl would like him?"

"I don't know. I heard it from the fat guy in their dormitory. By the way, Jiyun, how about you? When you were in school, a lot of girls chased after you, but you said you didn't want to affect your studies. How about now? Do you have a partner?"

Both of them looked at Lou Jiyun at the same time, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

At this time, Lou Jiyun could clearly hear the conversation at Su Banxia's table, and Su Banxia could also hear the movements here.

When Su Banxia heard this question, her heart skipped a beat, as if hit hard by something. She subconsciously lowered her head, biting the soda straw tightly with her lips, staring at the table with her ears pricked up, looking forward to Lou Jiyu's answer.

However, at this moment, a group of young people suddenly came into the restaurant, about five or six people in total.

They laughed and played, occupying the empty seat between Lou Jiyun and Su Banxia's tables. The group was very excited and chatted eagerly, their voices getting louder and louder. In an instant, the air around them became noisy.

Su Banxia tried hard to hear what Lou Jiyun said, but the noisy voice was like an invisible barrier, completely drowning out Lou Jiyun's answer.

She could only glance at Lou Jiyun with the corner of her eyes. She saw him pick up the beer glass, tilt his head back and drink most of it. His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed. The two people who were traveling with him, however, smiled mockingly, with a different light flashing in their eyes.

Su Banxia seemed to have guessed something vaguely.

She pondered in her heart, in fact, if she thought about it carefully, a man as outstanding as Lou Jiyun would always be surrounded by outstanding girls. At his age, it was normal for him to fall in love, so why should she be surprised?

But... she kept telling herself in her heart, what does this have to do with her? Whether he has a partner or not has nothing to do with her.

Although she kept comforting herself in her heart, when she took another sip of the soda, the originally sweet taste was bubbling in her heart, sizzling, and a little sour, so sour that her nose felt a little sore and her eyes felt a little hot.

Seeing that the food on the table was almost finished and only some leftovers were left on the plate, Su Banxia gently put down the chopsticks in her hand and her eyes fell on Bai Su who was still leisurely drinking lychee wine.

She raised her hand to tidy up the hair beside her ears and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay." Bai Su responded casually without even raising his head, his hands moving without stopping as he poured himself another full glass of lychee wine.

The wine swayed in the glass, emitting a faint pink sheen, just like the thin clouds in the sky dyed by the setting sun. He just picked up the glass and looked up inadvertently, and happened to see Lou Jiyun from the other table also standing up.

"What a coincidence," Bai Su muttered to himself. He subconsciously took a sip of the wine. The sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue, without any spicy feeling, just like juice. "This is not wine at all, it doesn't taste like alcohol at all."

The sea breeze blows...

He seemed to smell the sour smell of love.

Elsewhere, Su Banxia walked to the cashier and completed her checkout before heading to the restroom. Then, she walked briskly into the restroom.

In the bathroom, the light was soft and bright, and the mirror on the wall reflected her slightly tired face.

Su Banxia walked to the washbasin, turned on the faucet, and clear water gushed out. She immersed her hands in the water, feeling the coolness. After washing her hands, she pulled out a piece of paper towel from the paper box next to her and gently wiped the water droplets on her hands.

When she turned to walk out, as soon as she stepped into the corridor and looked up, she ran into Lou Jiyun face to face in the narrow passage.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, their eyes met, all the sounds around them gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing.

Su Banxia's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She could feel her cheeks rapidly heating up, as if they were burning. She subconsciously lowered her head, avoiding Lou Jiyun's gaze. Her hands unconsciously clenched the paper towel in her hands, and her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
