Bai Su and Lou Jiyun sat opposite each other and wanted to have a good chat, but Lou Jiyun was very frugal with words. No matter what topic Bai Su brought up, the response he got was either a few short words or a nod or shake of the head.

Bai Su racked his brains and tried various topics, but it was like hitting cotton with a fist, with no response.

He tried several times to get Lou Jiyun to say a few more words, his eyes full of expectation, but all he got in return was still that cold look and silence.

After a while, Bai Su felt extremely bored. He thought that he couldn't say a single word for half a day and was always talking to himself. It was really boring.

He sighed helplessly, a wry smile on his face, raised his hand to check his watch, and said casually: "It's getting late, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving Lou Jiyun sitting there alone.

At noon, Bai Su returned to the hotel and sat in the restaurant to eat with Su Banxia.

People were coming and going in the restaurant, and noisy sounds were heard one after another, but Su Banxia had no intention of paying attention to them. Her mind was all on the meeting between Bai Su and Lou Jiyun.

"What did you say to him? Are you talking nonsense?" Su Banxia put down the chopsticks in her hand, clenched her hands unconsciously, leaned forward slightly, her eyes full of urgency, staring straight at Bai Su, as if trying to dig the answer out of his eyes.

"What? You care about him so much. Are you very familiar with him?" Bai Su raised his eyebrows, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

He deliberately dragged out his voice, picked up the water glass, and took a sip slowly, but his eyes were always fixed on Su Banxia, ​​observing her reaction.

Bai Su's words were like a heavy hammer, which almost made Su Banxia unable to breathe. Her face turned red instantly, and her eyes were wide open, full of grievance and anger.

"You..." She pointed at Bai Su, too angry to speak. Her chest heaved violently, and she felt like she was almost pissed to death.

"Don't worry, we just met by chance and said hello. I'm not familiar with him, so what can I say?" Bai Su smiled and waved his hand, with a harmless expression on his face.

He thought to himself that at most he was just like an old father caring for his daughter, afraid that she would be too impulsive and end up sad and hurt in the future, but he couldn't tell Su Banxia these words.

"Aren't you always very outgoing?" Su Banxia frowned, her face full of suspicion, and a hint of distrust in her eyes. She tilted her head and looked at Bai Su carefully, trying to find a flaw in his expression.

Bai Su was so amused by Su Banxia's words that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Xia Xia, what exactly is your relationship with him? You're so ungrateful. Don't forget who stood up for you when you were bullied as a child."

"Isn't it always you who fights with others and I help you?" Su Banxia showed no sign of weakness. She put her hands on her hips, straightened her body, and refuted Bai Su with confidence.

"Are you going to bring up old grudges with me?" Bai Su widened his eyes and looked at Su Banxia pretending to be angry, but he couldn't help but smile.

……

After a quarrel, Bai Su felt that all his concern for Su Banxia was like feeding a dog, and he felt lost.

He waved his hands and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I don't want to bother with you anymore. Do whatever you want."

*

Ever since Bai Su took on the purchasing task assigned by his sister, he has been rushing to the duty-free shop every day.

Su Banxia fell into a busy study rhythm after school started. Her schedule was packed with courses, one after another from morning to night. Due to the tight schedule, she had almost no time to wander around the school, let alone meet Lou Jiyun.

Su Banxia also keeps busy in her spare time, actively participating in club activities. She works with classmates to plan events and organize discussions, keeping herself busy. Occasionally, club members gather for meals together, where they share joyful conversations and daily life.

After a busy day, Su Banxia returns to her dorm and sometimes relaxes by watching a TV series with her roommates. As they watch the exciting dramas, they enthusiastically gossip about all sorts of interesting things happening at school, filling the dorm with a joyful atmosphere.

The days repeat themselves day after day, seemingly dull and nothing special.

However, Su Banxia gradually began to feel a strange feeling in her heart. As time went by, she felt more and more empty deep in her heart, as if something important was missing.

In many unintentional moments, Lou Jiyu's figure would always burst into her mind without warning.

Once, the teacher was lecturing at the podium, and Su Banxia was taking notes seriously as usual. When she came to her senses and her eyes fell on the book in front of her, she was instantly shocked.

The notebook was filled with Lou Jiyun's name. Each word seemed to have magic power, making her heart beat faster.

Are you crazy?

How to write his name.

After crossing out the words in the book, he was just about to look up at the podium when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the window on the side.

I might be really crazy...

I'm starting to have hallucinations!

In class, the teacher was explaining the course content vividly and diligently, and his endless words echoed in the classroom.

However, Su Banxia was completely distracted and stared out the window, completely dumbfounded.

"It's really weird." Su Banxia muttered to herself in her heart, full of disbelief.

She had been dreaming about him at night recently, and she felt that she was crazy enough. How could she have such absurd hallucinations in broad daylight when she was conscious and clear-headed?

Just when she was full of doubts and confused thoughts, the cell phone under the table suddenly vibrated.

Su Banxia subconsciously took out her phone to check, and saw a message from Lou Jiyun on the screen: [Is it really okay not to pay attention in class?]

The moment Su Banxia saw this message, her heart skipped a beat and a heat quickly surged to her cheeks.

Before she could recover from the sudden shock and news, the professor at the podium suddenly raised his voice and said, "The girl in the fifth row, wearing blue, please stand up and answer my question."

Su Banxia felt as if she was struck by a thunderbolt. She stood there in a daze, her mind blank.

Seeing this, the classmate next to her nudged her with his elbow and whispered, "The professor called on you."

Su Banxia finally woke up from her dream and stood up in a hurry, her face full of embarrassment and tension.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. This was the first time this semester that she was called on for a question, but she handed in a blank paper... and Lou Jiyun saw her red-handed.

At this moment, Su Banxia felt so uncomfortable that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, sit down. This question is indeed difficult. It's normal that you don't know the answer." Seeing that Su Banxia couldn't answer it, the professor did not embarrass her. After asking her to sit down in a calm tone, he turned to face the blackboard and continued to lecture seriously.

At this time, many students in the classroom noticed that Lou Jiyu was standing quietly outside the classroom.

There were still five or six minutes left before the get out of class ended. This unexpected "intruder" instantly broke the original tranquility of the classroom. Everyone became excited, with curiosity and excitement flashing in their eyes.

"Is that Professor Lou? Am I seeing correctly? Why is he here? I heard from the students who took his class that Professor Lou doesn't have a class today."

"He's tall and handsome, and looks good in everything he wears."

"What's he doing here? Waiting for someone to finish class? Which girl?"

"Professor Lou's elective course isn't taught in this building, right? Why is he here?"

"Looks like he's waiting for someone? Waiting for a student in our class?"

……

The students were talking to each other in low voices, and the classroom was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and curiosity.

Su Banxia was like a frightened ostrich, with her head hanging down, wishing she could hide herself.

Her face burned, red from her cheeks to her ears. Being unable to answer the question was certainly embarrassing, but what made her even more ashamed was that she had lost face in front of Professor Lou.

Recalling that when she took his elective course, she answered questions fluently and never had any questions she couldn't answer, the contrast now made her feel more and more ashamed, and she was too embarrassed to face Lou Jiyun again.

At the same time, the students in the classroom were excitedly guessing what Lou Jiyun was here for.

However, everyone was wrong.

Professor Lou came here this time not to wait for a certain girl, but to give a Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the teaching professor.

But before the professor had time to go out to greet them, a very brave girl couldn't hold back and walked straight towards Lou Jiyun.

"Hello, Professor." The girl walked up to Lou Jiyun, her cheeks slightly red, with a hint of shyness and expectation in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice

Lou Jiyun always had a stern expression, but at this moment he just nodded slightly and responded faintly.

"Hey, Xia Xia, isn't that from Class 5? She went to see Professor Lou. She's so brave..." Su Banxia's roommate's eyes widened, and she excitedly tugged at her sleeve, starting a heated discussion.

For a moment, many people in the classroom started to make noises, with whispers rising and falling one after another.

Su Banxia couldn't help but look up as her roommate pulled her.

However, the two of them were too far apart, and she couldn't hear what they were saying at all. She could only see the girl standing in front of Lou Jiyun, leaning forward slightly, as if she was saying something important.

"Professor Lou... is it convenient for you to add me on WeChat?" The girl took a deep breath. She unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, and her eyes were full of tension and anticipation.

It is said that it is easy for a girl to pursue a boy. Usually, as long as the girl is proactive, few boys will refuse to give their contact information.

However, Lou Jiyun looked past the girls and looked at Su Banxia in the classroom.

I saw Su Banxia packing her things with her head down. She looked like a wounded deer, full of grievances.

"Sorry, it's not convenient." Lou Jiyun withdrew his gaze and said in a calm but unquestionable tone.

"It's okay, I just like Professor Lou and want to be friends with you." Although the girl was a little disappointed, she still tried to force a smile and said it in a relaxed manner.

Then, like a well-behaved little fan, she slowly returned to her seat with a hint of loneliness.

At this time, the professor finally walked out of the classroom.

Lou Jiyun nodded slightly and left with the professor.

The girl who spoke to Lou Jiyun was instantly surrounded by her classmates.

"What did you say to Professor Lou?"

"Is the phone coming?"

"Isn't he more handsome up close?"

The girl was surrounded in the middle, facing the barrage of questions from her classmates, she could only smile helplessly and respond one by one.

In the classroom, students were discussing Lou Jiyun enthusiastically, with excited voices rising one after another.

But Su Banxia seemed like an outsider who was not involved in the matter. She sat in her seat with a wandering look in her eyes, showing no interest at all.

Her roommates keenly noticed that something was wrong with her and mistakenly thought that she was depressed because she couldn't answer the teacher's questions.

"Xia Tian, ​​it's just a question, it's really okay. This question is so difficult, no one knows how to answer it, I just happened to point it at you."

"That's right, don't be sad anymore. Can I treat you to some coconut milk later?"

Su Banxia has never liked to impose her emotions on others. Seeing her roommates trying to comfort her so kindly, how could she bear to let the atmosphere in the dormitory become depressing.

So, she forced a smile and said, "Okay, thank you, but this time I'll treat everyone to coconut milk."

When they arrived at the milk tea shop, Su Banxia carefully selected her roommates' favorite flavors. The four of them walked slowly towards the dormitory, holding coconut milk in their hands.

Along the way, the roommates were talking and laughing, but Su Banxia only occasionally agreed with a few words, her thoughts had already drifted away.

After returning to the dormitory, Su Banxia put down the things in her hands, turned on her mobile phone, and found that Bai Su had sent several messages.

She took a quick look and saw nothing but complaints about how crowded the duty-free shop was and how their feet were numb from queuing.

Su Banxia bit the straw, feeling a little annoyed, and was too lazy to reply to him.

However, at this moment, her phone screen suddenly lit up. It was a message from Lou Jiyun: [Back to the dormitory? ]

When Su Banxia saw this message, she felt like she was struck by an electric current. She sat up straight in an instant and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Her fingers tapped quickly on the screen and replied: [Yeah.]

Immediately afterwards, Lou Jiyun's next message arrived: [Are you free to come out? I have something for you. I'll wait for you downstairs in your dormitory.]

Su Banxia looked at the message and hesitated for a moment. The scene of people coming and going downstairs in the dormitory emerged in her mind. It would be so embarrassing if her classmates saw Lou Jiyun waiting for her.

So, she replied: [Don’t come to my dormitory building, go... go to the back of the dormitory, the same road we walked that night.]

When Lou Jiyun saw her reply, he couldn't help but laugh.

He shook his head slightly. It really seemed like an affair. Am I really that shameful?

But he did not refute, just replied with a "OK".
