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

The car moved forward steadily in the night, and the atmosphere inside was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Lou Jiyun's eyes were always fixed on the road ahead, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. His profile looked particularly stern under the dim light of the dashboard.

"Xia Xia, have you thought it through?" He suddenly spoke, his voice low and mellow, with an unquestionable sense of seriousness, as if every word carried a heavy weight, echoing in this small compartment.

When Su Banxia heard this, her body stiffened suddenly, and her already tense nerves became even more tense.

She secretly glanced at Lou Jiyun and saw that his expression was solemn and his eyes were serious, which made her inexplicably feel as if she was back in the classroom and was receiving a harsh lesson from the teacher.

"I..." She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but her throat seemed to be choked by something and she couldn't utter a complete word.

"Xia Xia, think it over first!" Lou Jiyun's tone did not soften at all, still serious and firm.

Su Banxia's shoulders trembled slightly, as if the words had struck a chord. She slowly lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping, hiding the panic and helplessness in her eyes. Her hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white from the strain. The car fell into a dead silence once again.

After an unknown amount of time, Lou Jiyun suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound.

His body shook violently, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously stepped on the brakes, slowly parked the car on the side of the road, then quickly turned his head and looked at Su Banxia.

He stretched out his long arm, gently but eagerly grasping Su Banxia's shoulders, and gently turned her body around. "Why are you crying?"

There was a hint of anxiety and distress in his voice, and his eyes were full of panic.

He hadn't been mean to her just now, so why was she crying all of a sudden? He wondered in his heart, and at the same time felt a little guilty.

Su Banxia was originally trying hard to suppress her emotions, but when she heard Lou Jiyun's question, all her grievances and anxieties instantly burst out like a flood.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of her hand.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt extremely wronged.

During this period of time, she has been disturbed by Lou Jiyun's kiss and the words "I like you".

She argued with herself in her heart for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth, raised her head suddenly, and with a hint of stubbornness and grievance in her eyes, she asked loudly: "You kissed me last time and said you liked me!"

Lou Jiyun was stunned, and a hint of sudden realization flashed across his originally panicked eyes.

He looked at Su Banxia's tear-stained face, and his doubts instantly dissipated. "So, is this why you're avoiding me?"

Su Banxia hummed softly, her voice slightly choked with sobs, like a wounded fawn. "Because I'm scared."

Looking at her slightly red eyes and tear-stained cheeks, Lou Jiyu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do with the girl in front of him who was crying bitterly.

He raised his hand, wanting to wipe the tears from her face, but stopped halfway out of hesitation.

He was afraid that his actions would scare her again, so he could only look at her with gentle and cautious eyes, trying to convey his concern and heartache with his eyes.

The air in the car seemed to freeze. Lou Jiyun slowly turned towards Su Banxia, ​​his eyes gentle and firm. His eyes were full of sincerity. He locked his eyes tightly with Su Banxia's, as if he wanted to convey his feelings to her without reservation.

"Xia Xia," his voice was low and magnetic, and every word was pronounced with exceptional clarity, "Everyone has the right to pursue the person they like. It's your right to avoid me, and I won't blame you."

He paused for a moment, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently smoothed the hair that was wet from Su Banxia's tears and stuck to her cheek. "Also, you said you were afraid of my liking you. What are you worried about?"

Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, hiding the emotions in her eyes. Her hands were twisted together nervously, and her fingertips turned white.

Lou Jiyun looked at her quietly, waiting patiently for her response.

After a long while, seeing that Su Banxia still didn't speak, he said again: "Don't worry, no matter what you are worried about, I can help you solve it. You don't need to be afraid."

"But if you're avoiding me because of this, then I really can only say sorry, but you can't deprive me of my right to like you. Once I, Lou Jiyun, set my heart on someone, it's a lifelong commitment. I won't give up on you!"

Su Banxia slowly raised her head and blinked, tears welling up in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, but she didn't utter a word, as if she was trying hard to digest Lou Jiyun's affectionate confession.

Lou Jiyun felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her pitiful appearance.

He frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry, and asked softly: "Or do you hate me?"

"No...no!" Su Banxia looked as if she had been burned. She quickly raised her head and glanced at him secretly, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. "How could I possibly hate you..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was mumbling to herself, "But I don't want to fall in love now."

Upon hearing this, Lou Jiyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, his eyes full of doting.

He shook his head, reached out and took out a tissue from the tissue box beside him, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

His fingers brushed her cheek gently, with a hint of warmth, "You little girl."

Although Su Banxia said that she didn't want to fall in love now, but with her words "How could I hate you", Lou Jiyun felt relieved.

"Okay, then let's not talk about love for now, but you don't have to hide from me anymore, okay?"

Su Banxia looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if her heart was shaken hard by something.

But this feeling came and went quickly. Before she had time to savor it, the wonderful feeling disappeared. She subconsciously nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Lou Jiyun showed a relieved smile on his face. He patted Su Banxia's shoulder gently and said, "It's a deal then. Don't regret it."

Su Banxia nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face.

The atmosphere in the car finally eased, and the previous depression and tension gradually dissipated.

Lou Jiyun started the car again and drove forward.

The car slowly stopped at the bottom of the apartment building near Su Banxia's school. The dim street lights shone through the car window onto the two people in the car, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

Lou Jiyun was the first to unbuckle his seat belt and pushed open the car door gracefully and neatly. After getting out of the car, he walked around the front of the car and came briskly to the passenger side.

He leaned over slightly, reached out to grasp the door handle, pulled it gently, and skillfully helped Su Banxia open the door.

Su Banxia, ​​who was in the car, was lowering her head, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into her palms.

Her heart was beating like a drum, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

My mind is like a mess, with all kinds of thoughts running rampant in it.

Her mind was filled with the embarrassment she felt when Lou Jiyun caught her in the Plum Garden. When she thought of how panicked she was in front of him, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Moreover, she had just been crying in front of him, which made her, who always cared about her reputation, feel ashamed.

She couldn't help but start to wonder if Lou Jiyun would dislike her because of this, or if he would think she was too fragile and too pretentious.

Su Banxia always thought of herself as a free and easy-going person. She usually did things in a hurry and never dragged her feet.

But for some reason, whenever she faced Lou Jiyun, she seemed like a different person, becoming cautious and timid, completely losing her former free and easy spirit.

"I'm here." Su Banxia said softly, her voice as small as the flapping of mosquito wings.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Lou Jiyun's eyes. The tone of his voice was clearly a subtle order to leave. She just wanted to quickly escape from this place that made her feel flustered, find a quiet corner, and sort out her confused thoughts.

"I'm leaving, why don't you look up at me and say goodbye?" Lou Jiyu gently closed the car door with one hand, his movements calm and elegant.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at Su Banxia gently, with a hint of expectation and teasing in his eyes.

Su Banxia knew that her face must be burning hot at this moment, maybe even as red as a ripe apple.

She really didn't have the courage to face Lou Jiyun, but she also felt bad for treating him so rudely.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly raised her head, her movements a little stiff, as if she had mustered all her courage.

At this moment, her hair looked a little messy, and a strand of hair stuck to her forehead due to the hot sweat, making her look a little embarrassed.

She subconsciously raised her hand to fiddle with her hair, trying to tidy it up, but there was no mirror. Her hands frantically gestured on her head, but she couldn't get it to look neat.

Lou Jiyu looked at her flustered appearance, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a doting smile.

He stretched out his hand and slowly reached towards Su Banxia's hair.

Su Banxia noticed his actions and subconsciously shrank her neck like a frightened deer, trying to avoid him.

"Don't move." Lou Jiyun's voice was low and powerful, with an innate deterrent power.

When Su Banxia heard this, she felt as if she was cast under a spell. Her body froze instantly and she dared not move at all. She could only stand there obediently and let Lou Jiyun's hand pass through her hair.

His fingers were slightly cold as they gently touched her scalp. The delicate touch made Su Banxia feel a strange sensation. Her heart trembled violently and her body stiffened unconsciously.

"Did I pull your hair?" Lou Jiyun noticed something strange about Su Banxia.

"No." Su Banxia answered softly, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Lou Jiyun carefully helped her comb her hair, his movements gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a precious work of art.

After tidying himself up, he bent down slightly so that his eyes were level with Su Banxia's.

He looked at Su Banxia quietly. She looked very embarrassed, with her eyes full of panic and shyness. She looked very cute.

Lou Jiyu couldn't help laughing out loud. His laughter was clear and hearty, and sounded particularly pleasant in the quiet night.

Su Banxia's breathing, which had just calmed down, became rapid again due to Lou Jiyun's unexpected approach and bright smile. Her heartbeat accelerated again, and it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.

Looking at Lou Jiyun's handsome face and feeling the warmth emanating from him, Su Banxia felt her heart soften, as if a piece of her body had collapsed, and an indescribable emotion spread in her heart.

Lou Jiyun's eyes were filled with a gentle smile. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze locked onto Su Banxia's, and asked softly, "Are you nervous?"

Su Banxia raised her head slightly, met his gaze, and nodded seriously without any hesitation. Her cheeks were flushed, and there was a hint of shyness and nervousness in her eyes. Her lovely look made Lou Jiyun's heart tremble.

"I'm nervous, too."

"Ok?"

"I'm afraid you'll reject me harshly today, and then I'll have no hope." Lou Jiyun took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Su Banxia, ​​unwilling to miss any subtle changes in her expression. "If I don't come to you today, will you avoid me forever?"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia's face instantly showed a look of helplessness. Her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, and she pursed her lips tightly. Her eyes revealed a hint of panic and confusion. The look in her eyes when she looked at Lou Jiyun was naive and innocent, like a small animal lost in the forest.

"No." Su Banxia almost blurted out.

Su Banxia's answer seemed to greatly please Lou Jiyun.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a brilliant smile, which was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and charming.

Su Banxia's palms, however, were burning with nervousness, sweat dripping from them. Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently, and she even felt as if her consciousness was drifting, as if she were in a cloud of mist, unable to tell east from west.

"Xiao Xiatian..." Lou Jiyun spoke again, calling back the affectionate name he had used before, his voice soft and affectionate.

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

"You care about me." Lou Jiyun smiled gently, his eyes full of determination.

Su Banxia's eyes flashed, and she felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

She was so nervous that she almost suffocated, and thought to herself, what is this person thinking about? Does he still have the mind to tease her and make her happy?

Her heart was in a mess. She was nervous and embarrassed. Thinking about what happened on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, she was also a little angry. All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined in her heart, making her little face red with anger.

She just raised her head and wanted to confront Lou Jiyun and tell him everything that was in her mind.

But at this moment, she felt a warm big hand gently holding the back of her head.

Her body staggered slightly, and before she could react, she fell into Lou Jiyun's arms, interrupting the words she was about to say.

Because, the next second, a scorching kiss fell on her forehead.

The kiss carried Lou Jiyun's scorching heat, like a raging fire, instantly igniting the fire in Su Banxia's heart.

Her breathing suddenly became heavy. This kiss was not as gentle as the moonlight on the night of the 15th. She could clearly feel it. It was a burning heat like a raging fire, which made her heart numb.

Lou Jiyun withdrew slightly, and the palm that was supporting the back of her head slowly slid down, gently brushing her hair, as if soothing a frightened bird.

"Okay, let's go upstairs. Don't go to the Plum Garden anymore. Just live here, closer to me, okay?"

Su Banxia seemed to be under a spell. She stood there blankly, her mind blank. She did not respond to Lou Jiyun's words.

Under Lou Jiyun's gaze, her limbs stiffened, she turned mechanically, and walked towards the apartment step by step.
