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

In the afternoon, sunlight shines through the window, casting golden spots on the floor of the living room.

Su Banxia was wearing a light blue dress with the hem swaying gently. She lay beside the chessboard, watching the entire game without blinking.

The game between Su Liuxing and Lou Jiyun has been going on for some time. Su Banxia knew that his father Su Liuxing had left him many opportunities, but perhaps because Lou Jiyun rarely played chess, he seemed unable to see these hidden turning points at all.

Su Banxia couldn't help but laugh in her heart. In her opinion, people like Lou Jiyun were always calm, self-possessed and omnipotent. She didn't expect that he would have trouble with chess today. This made her feel very novel.

"You can't?" Su Banxia held her cheek with one hand, tilted her head, and had a playful smile on her face. Like a cunning little fox, her smart eyes were full of smiles as she looked at Lou Jiyun.

There was a hint of teasing in that smile, but more of it was closeness and familiarity, as if the formality between teacher and student had long since disappeared between them.

"I can't." Lou Jiyun said frankly, his voice low and steady.

He didn't think it was a shameful thing. No one is perfect, and he was not a genius, so how could he be proficient in everything? He shrugged slightly, with a helpless smile on his face. There was a bit of sincerity in that smile, which made Su Banxia feel more favorable towards him.

"Do you want to win?" Su Banxia blinked, with a smart light flashing in her eyes, and continued to ask.

"I do." Lou Jiyun answered without hesitation, his eyes revealing firm determination.

Everyone has a competitive spirit, and Lou Jiyun is no exception. In this small chess game, he also longs to win.

"Then beg me." Su Banxia smiled, and her smile became brighter and brighter, like a flower blooming in spring.

The afternoon autumn sun shone gently on her. She held her chin with her hand and looked up at Lou Jiyun with curved eyebrows. She looked very cute. Her cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement, as if dyed by the sunset in the sky.

The sunlight outside the window flashed by, and the shadows of the flowers on the table moved forward. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Lou Jiyun looked at Su Banxia quietly. Her smile and her eyes were deeply engraved in his heart. He suddenly felt like he had tea in his hand, the aroma of tea lingering in the air, and she was beside him, her smile overflowing with joy.

Such a life is full of the flavor of life. If it can always be like this, we can stay together for a lifetime.

Su Banxia was always a little reserved in front of him, and was cautious in her words and actions.

But today, perhaps because she was at home, she was much more relaxed. Plus, it was the first time she saw the omnipotent Professor Lou and was stumped, so her temperament became more lively, and her words became more playful and casual.

Lou Jiyun just looked at her without saying anything. He just stared at Su Banxia quietly, his eyes filled with tenderness and a hint of thought.

This sudden silence made Su Banxia's heart skip a beat. Her smile froze instantly. Was she... a little too presumptuous just now?

Just as Su Banxia was feeling anxious and cleared her throat, preparing to say that she was just joking to ease the awkward and delicate atmosphere, Lou Jiyun leaned over without warning.

In an instant, the sunlight that originally shone between the two of them seemed so thin, and could not bear the strong and deep affection between his eyebrows like wildfire.

Su Banxia felt her breathing stagnate, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to step back, but found that her body seemed to be fixed and she could not move.

Being so close, she could even clearly catch the faint scent of tea in Lou Jiyun's breath.

The aroma of tea was clear and intoxicating, and it seeped into her nostrils, leaving her brain blank for a moment.

She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She subconsciously clutched her sleeves with both hands. Her fingertips turned slightly white from the force, and even her knuckles were faintly blue.

"Xiao Xiatian..." Lou Jiyu called softly, his voice was low and magnetic, probably because he was worried about being heard by others. There was a hint of cautious tenderness in his voice, as if it was slowly overflowing from the depths of his chest, and seemed to be lingering in his throat, with a hint of muffledness, but it fell accurately on her ear.

The sound was like two loud bells ringing in the quiet night sky. "Dong Dong--" twice, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her half-bent legs almost became too weak to squat because of the sudden numbness.

Su Banxia was so nervous that her palms kept getting hot and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her voice was a little vague, and her throat was trembling as she uttered a low "hmm" as a response to him.

Her eyes were wide open, and she watched him approaching without blinking. It felt as if he wanted to completely eliminate the little distance between them.

At this moment, the air seemed to have been sucked out, the whole world became silent, and the oxygen became so thin that people felt suffocated by lack of oxygen.

Lou Jiyun's eyes were as dark as the night, so deep that they seemed to be able to draw people in. His breath was deep and hot, spraying on Su Banxia's face, making her cheeks burn.

"Xiao Xiatian, please--" Lou Jiyun choked his throat, his voice low and hoarse, and gently uttered these simple words.

But these few words were like a bombshell, causing a huge wave of shock in Su Banxia's heart.

She felt as if her heart was trying to break free from the constraints of her chest, beating so fast that it seemed as if it was unable to supply blood.

My throat felt inexplicably itchy, my brain was in a mess, and I was a little confused.

Are you begging for help? You're clearly trying to kill her.

Su Banxia half-knelt in front of the chessboard, one hand supporting her cheek, her palm warm from nervousness and shyness.

She subconsciously put her palm against her face. The heat was like a warm fire, burning the side of her face. An indescribable heat quickly spread throughout her body.

At this moment, a cool breeze blew in from outside the door, gently brushing her hair and cheeks.

However, this breeze could not dispel the heat in her body, nor could it blow away the lingering warmth in her heart caused by Lou Jiyun's approach.

"I beg you, can you teach me?" Lou Jiyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile. That smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly melting the last line of defense in Su Banxia's heart.

Su Banxia was just joking with him and never expected that Lou Jiyun would actually beg her seriously.

At this moment, her mind involuntarily conjured up the image of the man before her. Normally, he wore a serious expression, rarely smiled, and exuded an awe-inspiring aura. But today, dressed in a crisp, three-piece suit, he exuded a mature, steady, and elite demeanor, his every move revealing elegance and confidence.

He suddenly asked for help in such a gentle tone. The strong contrast was like a gentle dagger that pierced Su Banxia's heart.

Anyway, Su Banxia was already feeling dizzy, her mind was blank, and she had no idea how to deal with the situation.

In a panic, she lowered her head, picked up a small snack, stuffed it into her mouth, and deliberately chewed it loudly. It seemed that only in this way could she calm her wildly beating heart and eliminate the panic in her heart.

"Is this a biscuit?" Lou Jiyun looked at Su Banxia's actions, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked softly.

"Well, my mom made it. It's quite delicious." Su Banxia answered vaguely, her cheeks slightly puffed up because of the snack in her mouth, and she looked very cute.

"Then let me try it." Lou Jiyun said, and his slender fingers gracefully picked up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth.

He chewed it carefully, and after a few seconds, he nodded slightly and said softly, "It's quite sweet."

When Su Banxia heard these words, she inexplicably felt her ears getting hot, as if they were burning. She muttered to herself, this was obviously just a normal sentence, why did she feel so embarrassed when she heard it?

Su Banxia, ​​are you thinking too much... You must have thought in the wrong way, you are doomed now!

To mask her embarrassment, Su Banxia quickly shifted the topic to the chessboard. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and pointed at the board, saying, "Well, don't make this move. You should make the Cannon. If you make the Pawn, you'll be in a very passive position later on."

Lou Jiyun also leaned forward slightly, moved closer to the chessboard, and followed the movements of Su Banxia's fingertips closely with his eyes. He listened carefully, nodded slightly from time to time, and a focused and thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

……

In this game, Su Liuxing deliberately let the opponent win from the very beginning, and with Su Banxia's careful guidance, although there were some bumps in the process, Lou Jiyun finally won the game.

"Finally I won." Su Liuxing had a hearty smile on his face, which was full of appreciation and encouragement for Lou Jiyun, as if to say that winning or losing is not important, what is important is to enjoy the process of playing chess.

"You gave in to me, and thanks to..." Lou Jiyun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a humble smile. His eyes slowly turned to Su Banxia, ​​with gratitude and tenderness flashing in his eyes, "She helped."

"You girl, you are so mean. Help him deal with his dad." Su Liuxing said half-jokingly, the smile on his face became brighter, and his eyes were full of doting.

When Su Banxia heard this, her cheeks instantly became hot, as if they were burned by fire.

A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously lowered her head, twisting the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands, and whispered, "Dad, I... I just..."

"By the way, besides chess, do you like watching Go?" Lou Jiyun tilted his head slightly, his eyes never leaving Su Banxia. He asked Su Liuxing seemingly casually, but there was a hint of imperceptible expectation in his eyes.

"Go? I'm a complete layman here. I only have a vague understanding of it and have no interest in it." Su Liuxing said frankly. He waved his hand gently with an apologetic smile on his face. "Why, do you know anything about Go?"

"No, there's a chess player I know who's having a competition soon, and I thought if you're interested, I could give you tickets to watch the fun." Lou Jiyun explained patiently, his voice low and gentle.

"I'm really not interested in Go." Su Liuxing refused again with a smile. He sighed slightly and said helplessly, "If you don't know anything about playing Go, it will be boring."

As he spoke, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the uncontrollable excitement on Su Banxia's face. With an idea in mind, he said, "Xia Xia, if you're interested in going, you can go with your brother Lou to join in the fun."

"Me?" When Su Banxia heard her name, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Her mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but she was speechless for a moment. She knew in her heart that her understanding of Go was only at the level of black and white pieces, and she knew nothing else.

"Then I'll go back and get two tickets." Lou Jiyun said without hesitation.

Su Banxia opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but the words were blocked in her throat by Lou Jiyun's decisive words.

Lou Jiyun looked at the time and knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.

When Su Liuxing learned about this, he immediately stood up and warmly said goodbye, with his usual friendly smile on his face, muttering, "Jiyun, I'm so sorry. It's a rare visit for you, but I haven't treated you well. Zeqi and Jingmo are really those two kids. They haven't come back yet."

As he spoke, he strode to Lou Jiyun, raised his hand and patted his shoulder affectionately, "When you have time in the future, you must come and play often, and don't be polite to me."

The two walked towards the door side by side, and Su Banxia followed closely behind, quietly and well-behaved.

Arriving at the door, Lou Jiyun turned around, bowed slightly, and politely thanked Su Liuxing: "Uncle Su, I'm sorry to bother you today. Thank you for your hospitality."

Su Liuxing smiled and waved his hand, saying cheerfully, "Why are you being so polite to me, kid? From now on, treat this place as your own home and come whenever you want."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with admiration as he kept sizing up the young man in front of him. He continued, "You're a really good kid. You know when to advance and when to retreat, and you know the right balance. And he's quite tall, even taller than my son Zeqi." As he spoke, he extended his hand to indicate the height, his smile growing even brighter. "Old Lou is so lucky to have such a son."

Su Banxia stood by, listening quietly to her father's praise, occasionally nodding slightly in agreement.

Lou Jiyun smiled modestly and responded, "Uncle Su, you're too kind. It's all thanks to my father's good teaching. I'll be leaving first, Uncle. Goodbye, Xia Xia!"

Lou Jiyun turned and walked towards the car, opened the door and got in. The car started slowly, he rolled down the window and waved goodbye to the Su family father and daughter again.

Su Liuxing and Su Banxia stood at the door, watching the car drive away until it disappeared at the end of the street. Su Liuxing then withdrew his gaze and said to Su Banxia with a smile, "Xia Xia, look at how good Lou Jiyun is. You should learn from him in the future."

Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she softly replied, "I know, Dad."
