After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder
Chapter 137 Can’t see the moon?
The Go competition that I had been looking forward to did not take place due to various unexpected events.
However, even though the competition was a failure, Lou Jiyun was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples in Su Banxia's life and disturbing her originally peaceful life.
During this period, Su Banxia's thoughts always drifted involuntarily towards Lou Jiyun, and she often became dazed without realizing it.
Even some trivial things could easily remind her of Lou Jiyun's low voice and gentle eyes.
Once, her second sister-in-law Qu Qingdai wanted her to go out and play with her, and she said affectionately: "Please, Xia Xia."
It was just such a simple sentence, but it was like a switch, instantly triggering the sensitive nerves deep in Su Banxia's heart. Her whole body suddenly shuddered, her scalp felt numb, and the numb feeling spread from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
"Sister-in-law, don't ask me for help. It sounds weird." Su Banxia's eyes were evasive, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingdai's face lit up with confusion. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Banxia with doubt, her heart filled with confusion. In her impression, Su Banxia was not like this on a daily basis. They often joked like this between them, and she had never had such a reaction.
"What's wrong, Xia Xia? What happened to you today?" Qu Qingdai asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.
Su Banxia realized that her reaction was a bit extreme, and quickly smiled awkwardly and explained, "It's nothing, sister-in-law, I just... I just suddenly felt that it was a bit awkward to say this."
After this incident, Qu Qingdai was always thinking about Su Banxia's abnormal reaction.
At night, she and Su Jingmo were lying in bed, and she couldn't help but talk about this matter.
"Jingmo, Xia Xia has been acting strangely lately. It's okay that she likes to daydream, but today I asked her to go out and play with me, and she actually told me not to say that. What kind of logic is that? We used to make jokes like this all the time, but her reaction lately is really a bit too big." Qu Qingdai said as she gently nudged Su Jingmo with her elbow, her eyes full of confusion.
Su Jingmo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Has there been any recent situation with her?"
"In love!" Qu Qingdai suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed excitedly, with a gossipy smile on her face.
"Even if it's not a love relationship, it's probably related to a man. What I said in the group before, could it be true?" Su Jingmo said thoughtfully.
Qu Qingdai and Su Jingmo's speculations were only discussed privately and not mentioned to others. After all, they were just speculations and had no solid evidence. Moreover, Su Banxia was already an adult with her own ideas and life, and they should respect her choices.
As the second brother, Su Jingmo is actually quite open-minded. He thinks there is nothing unacceptable about his sister having a partner.
The only thing that worries him is his father Su Liuxing. Su Liuxing is a well-known daughter slave and loves Su Banxia very much. He doesn't know how he would react if he knew that his daughter had a boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Su Jingmo couldn't help but sigh softly, with a helpless smile on his face.
……
Time slipped away like sand through fingers, slipping away without notice. Ever since her unexpected encounter with Lou Jiyun at home, Su Banxia's life seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, and her interactions with him had vanished like a kite with its string cut.
In the blink of an eye, the May Day holiday is here as expected.
Night had just fallen, and soft light shone through the Su family's spacious dining room. The entire Su family, along with Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie, gathered around the table, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Usually, at this time of year, conversations would mostly revolve around work, the children's studies, and the like, but this year, the atmosphere was somewhat different. Everyone's gaze and conversation were focused on Huo Jianqiu's slightly bulging belly.
Old Madam Su looked at Huo Jianqiu lovingly, her eyes full of concern and expectation, and called softly, "Jianqiu..."
"Hey, grandma." Huo Jianqiu responded gently, a happy smile on her face, and her voice was filled with the joy and sweetness of becoming a mother.
"Is your due date approaching? How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital early?"
Huo Jianqiu patted her belly gently and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, grandma, I'm fine. Just rest assured that Zeqi is with you." As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Zeqi beside her, her eyes full of dependence and trust.
Su Zeqi felt his wife's gaze, reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said firmly, "Yes, grandma, just be a great-grandmother! I will always be with Jianqiu and take good care of her."
"Okay, okay!" Old Madam Su nodded repeatedly, and the wrinkles on her face turned into a smile. Her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on Qu Qingdai, "When are Daidai and Jingmo going to have a baby?"
When Qu Qingdai heard this, her originally fair cheeks instantly flushed. She looked at Su Jingmo shyly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Su Jingmo noticed his wife's embarrassment, gently held her hand, gave her a comforting look, then smiled and said to Mrs. Su: "Grandma, we are not in a hurry. After my eldest brother and his wife's child is born, Dai Dai and I will practice how to take care of the baby first."
"Look at what you are saying. If you want to practice, do it yourself!" Su Zeqi couldn't help but retort.
Qu Qingdai also quickly followed and said, "Grandma, we are not in a hurry, let's take our time."
"So when are Qingzhu and Yunie planning to get married?"
"Grandma, my family is still discussing this matter. It will be done soon, so don't worry!" Qin Yunie said sweetly.
"Okay, grandma won't rush you. I'm just waiting for the wedding..." Old Madam Su smiled and waved her hand. Then she turned her gaze to Su Banxia, the only single person present, with a glint of curiosity in her eyes. "Does my darling granddaughter have a partner? I heard there was something going on before. Is that true?"
When Su Banxia heard her grandmother's question, an awkward yet polite smile appeared on her face. Her eyes were a little evasive, and she stammered, "No, no."
She twisted her hands unconsciously under the table, trying to hide her inner nervousness.
"You are still a student, so you should focus on your studies, okay?" Su Liuxing, who had been sitting aside watching the show silently, suddenly spoke. His expression was very serious, and his tone was full of unquestionable solemnity.
His sudden seriousness made everyone laugh.
Su Liuxing knew that his daughter was already in college and at the right age for a relationship, and he had no objection to her dating. However, the thought of his precious daughter, whom he had cherished and nurtured, being "stolen" by another boy in the future, and not knowing what kind of person he would be, whether he would be a "white pig," "black pig," or "speckled pig," made him feel that no one was worthy of his daughter, and he always thought it would be better to keep his daughter by his side.
After a delicious dinner, night fell completely. The moonlight tonight was particularly captivating, the bright moon like a giant silver disk, hanging high in the vast night sky, casting a cool and soft light. The stars twinkled in the sky like brilliant gems inlaid on black satin, adorning the entire night sky with a dreamlike atmosphere.
……
The elders sat leisurely in the yard, sipping tea and chatting, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth, but a few young people had already been unable to suppress their inner restlessness, like birds that had been bound for a long time, longing to fly to the free sky.
"Then Amo, take them out for a walk. I'll stay at home with your sister-in-law." Su Zeqi looked at Huo Jianqiu beside him and decided to stay with her as she was about to give birth.
"Okay!" Su Jingmo responded readily. He stood up and patted Su Zeqi on the shoulder. "Just rest assured and take care of your sister-in-law at home. We'll go out for a walk and come back soon."
"Don't play too late." Su Liuxing reminded them worriedly, his eyes full of worry for the children.
"I know." Su Jingmo responded with a smile, and then called on everyone to get ready to set off.
A group of people walked towards the garage in a lively manner, drove two cars, the engines sounded, and the cars slowly drove out of the Su family compound.
Along the way, everyone laughed and talked, discussing tonight's itinerary.
Hearing that there would be a magnificent light show at the Forbidden City tonight, everyone was very excited and looked forward to witnessing the stunning scene with their own eyes. However, when they arrived at the Forbidden City, they were shocked by the scene before them.
There were huge crowds of people and tourists jostling each other. It was almost impossible to find a good spot to watch the light show.
"What should we do? There are too many people." Su Banxia frowned and said helplessly.
"How about we go somewhere else?" Qin Yunie suggested. "I heard there's a place in the suburbs of Beijing that's especially good for moon viewing. How about we go there?"
"Okay, okay!" Everyone expressed their agreement.
So, a group of people set off towards the outskirts of Beijing. In fact, everyone knew that appreciating the moon was just an excuse. The most important thing was that everyone could get together and enjoy this rare excitement and joy.
Arriving in the suburbs of Beijing, everyone was captivated by the stunning scenery. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the surroundings were serene, with only the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. The moon and stars hung high overhead, tinting the entire landscape in a silvery white.
Su Banxia excitedly pulled out her phone and snapped away, wanting to capture this beautiful moment forever. She even pulled everyone together for a group photo, and everyone in the photo was smiling brightly, brimming with youthful energy.
After taking the photo, Su Banxia couldn't wait to share it on her Moments, captioning it: "A wonderful night spent with my family, double the happiness!"
Lou Jiyun was sitting at home working when he accidentally opened his phone and saw Su Banxia's updated Moments.
In the photo, she was smiling widely, her eyes revealing endless joy. He had never seen her smile so happily when she was with him.
Although Beijing is not a big city, it is not easy to find Su Banxia's location. However, the obvious landmarks in the photo have become key clues.
After pondering for a moment, Lou Jiyun stood up, picked up the car keys, and drove away from home. His movements were silent and did not attract anyone's attention.
At this time, Su Banxia was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere and had no idea that Lou Jiyun was rushing towards her. She found a quiet place, sat on the grass, and carefully edited the photos, wanting to make each photo more perfect.
After editing the photo, she saw someone nearby looking at the moon with professional astronomical equipment, so she went over out of curiosity.
This expansive area on the outskirts of Beijing, unobstructed by tall buildings, allows the moonlight to pour down unhindered, making it an ideal spot for moon-viewing. Many astronomy enthusiasts have come here with high-powered telescopes, eager to peer more clearly into the moon's mysteries.
Su Banxia was full of curiosity, so she walked forward politely and asked if she could borrow it. The enthusiasts were very enthusiastic and generous and readily agreed.
Su Banxia carefully took the telescope and placed her eye close to the eyepiece. Instantly, a completely different lunar world appeared before her. Under the telescope's magnification, details like the craters and lunar seas on the lunar surface were clearly visible, a stark contrast to the bright silver disk seen with the naked eye.
She was completely immersed in it, her eyes full of wonder and concentration, as if she had forgotten everything around her.
Just as Su Banxia was lost in thought, someone suddenly touched her back without warning. Although the sudden impact was not strong, it caused the telescope in her hand to shake violently. The lens that was originally focused on the moon shifted instantly, and the picture became blurry.
Su Banxia frowned slightly, a flicker of annoyance in her eyes. She knew this high-powered telescope was meticulously constructed, and its value was evident from its appearance alone. She didn't know how to adjust it, and she worried that any rash tampering might damage the instrument, so she could only carefully maintain the telescope's condition.
She gently put down the telescope and was about to turn around to find the owner of the telescope to explain and apologize to him.
However, before she could turn around completely, a voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar suddenly sounded in her ears. As if carrying a special magic, it instantly penetrated the surrounding noise.
It was an autumn night, and the cool breeze made her feel a little cold, but his breath was warm and came almost close to her ear. The heat was like a burning flame, hitting her eardrum again and again, making her ears feel hot.
"What? Can't see the moon?"
This sound was like an electric current, instantly striking Su Banxia's heart.
Her body seemed to be under a spell, frozen in place. Her head slowly turned over, and what came into her sight was Lou Jiyun wearing a black windbreaker.
He stood tall and straight, with his head slightly tilted, looking at her with burning eyes. There seemed to be a ball of blazing flame hidden in his deep eyes, the kind of scorching heat that penetrated Su Banxia's heart straight, making her heart beat uncontrollably.
