"It's almost time. I wonder how Xia Xia is doing over there." The breeze blew gently, and Qu Qingzhu's gentle and slightly concerned voice came. The voice was particularly clear in the silent night.

"Xia Xia is an adult, not a three-year-old child. She has her own private space. Just let her have fun." Qin Yunie's voice was steady and powerful, revealing a reassuring confidence.

"But she has been acting quite abnormal recently. She has been absent-minded since she came back from vacation." Qu Qingdai frowned slightly, her tone full of worry. She sighed softly and then spoke.

"I think she is thinking about a man." Su Jingmo's voice followed, accompanied by a burst of unbridled laughter.

When Su Banxia heard this, her already nervous expression instantly became even more irritated. Her eyes widened, her eyebrows raised, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly. She was so angry that she almost fainted.

She gnashed her teeth in her heart. What kind of nonsense was her second brother saying behind her back? If Lou Jiyun heard this, she didn't know what he would think of her.

Lou Jiyun stood there quietly. Hearing their conversation, he lowered his eyes slightly and his gaze fell gently on Su Banxia who was pressing him against the tree.

His eyes were deep and gentle, like a deep lake reflecting her cheeks flushed with anger. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible smile crept up his lips, with a hint of playfulness and a hint of doting in that smile.

think……

man?

Su Banxia's hand was still pressed tightly against his mouth, and as the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his lips accidentally brushed against the palm of her hand.

In an instant, a tingling sensation quickly spread along the palm of her hand and reached her heart.

Her breathing suddenly stopped, and a trace of panic and surprise flashed in her eyes. Only then did she realize, as if waking from a dream, how strange the posture of the two of them was at the moment.

Her mind went blank in an instant, and she stared blankly at Lou Jiyun in front of her, feeling an indescribable shame in her heart.

She, she actually...

Press Lou Jiyun against the tree!

Her cheeks instantly became hot, as if blood could drip out.

Her eyes darted around in panic, not daring to look Lou Jiyun in the face. Her hands unconsciously loosened and she shrank back as if she had been electrocuted. Her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something to break the awkward situation, but she felt as if her throat was choked by something and she couldn't utter a word.

At this time, Su Jingmo and his group were still walking and talking not far away, and they didn't notice anything unusual about the two people behind the tree.

Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun just stood there quietly. The air around them seemed to have frozen, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, with almost no gap between them.

The hot air exhaled from Lou Jiyun's nose was like a flame, falling on the back of Su Banxia's hand again and again. The burning touch made the back of her hand turn a faint red, as if it had been burned by fire.

Su Banxia belatedly realized that their posture was too intimate at the moment. Her heart was beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

In a panic, she subconsciously let go of his hand and wanted to step back, trying to increase the distance between them and escape from this heart-pounding atmosphere.

However, in the next second, something unexpected happened.

Her slender wrist was suddenly grasped by a warm and powerful hand. Before she could react, a strong pulling force came, and her body leaned forward uncontrollably, and she stumbled and fell into Lou Jiyun's arms.

Her eyes widened instantly, her face filled with fear and astonishment, and she subconsciously wanted to scream out.

But just as she was about to say that, she heard Lou Jiyun lower his voice and whisper softly in her ear: "They haven't gone far yet."

The low and magnetic voice was like an alarm bell ringing in the quiet night sky, instantly waking Su Banxia up.

She choked the scream in her throat and looked up at Lou Jiyun.

At this moment, one of her hands was still tightly holding the cup of coconut milk, and the milky white liquid was shaking slightly in the cup; while the other wrist was firmly held in Lou Jiyun's hand, and the temperature of his palm was so high that it seemed to melt her wrist.

The unique relationship between the two people's positions makes this scene full of drama.

Lou Jiyu was leaning against a big tree, his tall body completely hidden in the darkness of the shade and the night, like a mysterious night walker; and the slanting moonlight gently fell on Su Banxia's face, making her face look particularly bright, and her fair skin was faintly glowing under the moonlight, like a fine work of art.

One bright and one dark, light and shadow overlap and shuttle between the two people, outlining two completely different yet mutually complementary flavors, dangerous and blurry, as if it were a dream where fantasy and reality are intertwined.

"Professor Lou... Professor Lou." Su Banxia's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of panic and shyness that was difficult to conceal.

She subconsciously twisted her wrist, trying to break free from Lou Jiyun's restraint, but that big hand seemed to have taken root, holding her tightly, making her unable to move at all.

"Am I so shameful? When we were in school, you didn't want people to see us walking together. When we were outside, you were still like this..." Lou Jiyu's voice came from the shadows.

His face was hidden in the darkness, and his already aggressive facial features took on an even more chilling sense of danger under the cover of night, as if he were a beast lurking in the darkness, ready to attack at any moment.

"Xiao Xiatian - Xia Xia -" Lou Jiyun spoke again, his voice soft and affectionate, like a feather gently brushing across Su Banxia's heart.

This call was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves.

From childhood to adulthood, many people have called her by her nickname, but no one has ever called her like Lou Jiyun did, making her heart tremble, as if the whole world had stopped turning because of this call.

Su Banxia's cheeks instantly grew hot, like ripe apples. Her eyes were filled with panic and shyness. She wanted to escape Lou Jiyun's fiery gaze, but she couldn't.

"Don't you like me?" Lou Jiyun lowered his head slightly, his voice as low as if coming from the bottom of a deep valley, and his tone suddenly softened, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Su Banxia only felt that the pair of eyes hidden in the shadows were now surprisingly dark and bright, as if hiding an endless vortex, which made her feel panicked and unable to control herself.

The palm of his hand that was holding her wrist was so hot that it seemed to be burning. The heat seemed to penetrate her skin and go straight into her heart.

Su Banxia's breathing became heavier, as if something was tightly strangling her throat, and every time she took a breath, she trembled slightly.

"I..." Su Banxia's lips trembled slightly, and her throat seemed to be choked by something. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer this question.

Because what Lou Jiyun asked was, do you dislike him?

This is simply a matter of death.

Actually, love and feelings are inherently mysterious...

If you don't like or even reject someone, then naturally you won't want to get close to him.

If Su Banxia didn't feel anything about Lou Jiyun's approach, and instead felt resistant, given Lou Jiyun's personality, he would never try to get close to her again and again.

The early stages of a relationship are probably a process of constant testing and ambiguity.

Su Banxia's heart was trembling like a thorn in her throat. She bit her lip tightly, her teeth chattering constantly. With great difficulty, she managed to suppress her panic and stammered, "I don't, I don't dislike you."

"Is that love?" Lou Jiyun lowered his head slightly, and the already close distance seemed to be shortened a little bit.

"I..." Su Banxia was really going crazy. She had no idea what was going on with Lou Jiyun tonight. He kept asking her questions that left her at a loss.

Just as she was hesitating and feeling embarrassed, Lou Jiyun spoke again: "Xiao Xiatian——"

"Hmm?" Su Banxia responded subconsciously, her voice as small as the flapping of mosquito wings.

Then, she felt Lou Jiyun seemed to be getting closer, so close that she could clearly feel his breath on her cheek.

At the same time, Lou Jiyun's fingers holding her wrist loosened slightly, and her arm slid down, and her whole hand was tightly wrapped by him.

Unlike before when he just held her wrists on the beach, this time, his fingers gently spread hers open and then slowly passed through her fingers.

Su Banxia clearly felt her fingers being gently spread open by Lou Jiyun. That subtle touch was as if it had quietly opened a small hole in her originally tightly closed heart.

Then, he barged in without warning, throwing her heart into chaos.

Their fingers were tightly intertwined, their palms pressed together, and the scorching temperatures intertwined and blended. Su Banxia could even feel a layer of fine hot sweat on her palms. The sweat wet the hands of the two, adding a bit of ambiguity.

"Are you nervous? Your palms are so hot." Lou Jiyun lowered his head slightly, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to Su Banxia.

On weekdays, he always looks serious and exudes a cold and aloof temperament.

But at this moment, he was so close to her, and his warm smile was like the brightest sunshine in spring. Even a person with a strong will would find it difficult to resist such a smile.

Su Banxia felt a surge of warmth rising in her heart, which quickly spread from her ears to her entire cheeks, forming layers of delicate blushes that made her look even more charming.

"I, I..." Su Banxia's voice trembled slightly. She tried to pull her fingers out of Lou Jiyun's hand, but his hand was like a strong pair of pliers, holding her tightly with such strength that she couldn't break free at all.

She struggled hard unwillingly, and at this moment, Lou Jiyun suddenly exerted force on his wrist, and a strong pulling force came. Su Banxia's body instantly lost balance and fell into his arms again.

She subconsciously stretched out her other hand and frantically supported it on Lou Jiyun's chest, trying to steady herself.

However, this action caused the coconut milk in her hand to fall to the ground.

There was soft grass all around, and the sound of the coconut milk bottle landing was not loud, but as it fell, white liquid continued to flow out of the bottle mouth, making a "sizzling" sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Lou Jiyun!" Su Banxia was horrified. She widened her eyes, which were filled with shock and panic, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"Finally, you're not the professor, you're not my brother, you're willing to call me by my name?" Lou Jiyun's mouth corners slightly raised, a sly smile flashed in his eyes.

"You..." Su Banxia opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

"Actually, I don't want to be your professor, nor do I want to be your brother..." Lou Jiyun suddenly lowered his head slowly and moved closer to Su Banxia.

Su Banxia forgot to dodge for a moment, and their eyes met in the air, as if time had stopped at this moment.

She had nowhere to retreat and could only stare blankly at the man in front of her, her panic and tension reaching a peak.

At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that the only sound was their rapid breathing.

One of her hands was placed on Lou Jiyun's chest. Through the thin clothes, she seemed to be able to clearly feel his violent heartbeat, again and again, as if it was about to break through the restraints of his chest.

She subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but her fingers were gently held down by Lou Jiyun, and she could not move.

"Xiao Xiatian, you feel it." Lou Jiyun's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of unquestionable certainty.

"I..." Su Banxia's voice was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito. Her mind was blank and she had no idea how to deal with the situation.

Lou Jiyun's heart beat more and more violently, and every beat hit the palm of her hand hard, making her feel that her forearm was numb.

"Xiao Xiatian, in front of you, I hope I am just Lou Jiyun, and you only see me as Lou Jiyun. I selfishly hope... you like me, because..." Lou Jiyun's voice was so close, as if it was right next to her ear. Every word he said was like a heavy hammer, shaking her eardrums and beating her heart.

Su Banxia only felt that her heartbeat suddenly became disordered and her breathing became disordered.

Her eyes were fixed on Lou Jiyun, her mind and eyes were filled with his figure, but she was deeply confused and didn't know what to do.

"Because, I like you." Lou Jiyun finally said these words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, his voice soft and firm.

His breath slowly brushed across Su Banxia's cheek, bringing with it a hint of warmth.

Su Banxia subconsciously held her breath, her entire body frozen in place. Her mind instantly went blank, leaving only a blank in her heart. Lou Jiyun's words, "I love you," kept echoing in her mind.

She stared blankly at the man in front of her, her eyes full of surprise, shyness and helplessness.
