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

Su Banxia sat on the sofa, her eyes full of confusion and shyness. She knew in her heart that she had an indescribable love for Lou Jiyun. If it weren't for this love, how could she indulge his closeness again and again?

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the window. This place was too unsafe. It was very close to Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie's home. If she was not careful, their affairs might be exposed.

Moreover, how could she not feel uneasy when a man and a woman were alone in the same room?

Her fingers gently stroked her forehead, and she recalled the kiss Lou Jiyun had just given her. Her face instantly flushed, as if the warmth of that kiss still lingered on her skin.

Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and she thought to herself, "I was just kissed by him, why did I really get a fever?"

Although Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun had spent time alone together, they had never been together in such an environment.

At this moment, anxiety and panic overwhelmed her like a tide. She felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and her already weak body became even heavier.

She leaned lightly on the sofa, intending to take a short nap to relieve her physical discomfort, but unexpectedly she fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

On the other side, after buying the medicine, Lou Jiyun hurried back to the apartment.

When he reached the door, he rang the doorbell twice, but there was no response from inside.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

He recalled the scene when Su Banxia entered the password just now. She did not cover it at that time. Although he turned his head away quickly, he still vaguely remembered two or three numbers.

With a give-it-or-leave attitude, he entered the numbers he remembered into the combination lock. He failed the first two times, but on the third try, the door opened with a click.

Lou Jiyun pushed open the door and walked quickly into the house. At a glance, he saw Su Banxia curled up on the sofa, sleeping very uneasily.

Her brows were furrowed, her body trembled slightly from time to time, and she uttered a few unclear mutterings.

"Xia Xia?" Lou Jiyu called softly, quickly walked to the sofa, half squatted down, raised his hand and gently tested her forehead temperature.

His expression instantly grew serious, her forehead felt even hotter than before, the scorching temperature causing his fingers to tremble slightly.

The sound of the doorbell just now had already woken Su Banxia up halfway. When Lou Jiyun approached and stretched out his hand, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were a little blurry, and her usually bright eyes were now covered with a layer of mist, making her look pitiful.

She seldom gets sick, but she always gets a bad cold or fever once or twice a year.

When people are sick, they always unconsciously reveal a hint of vulnerability, let alone Su Banxia, ​​who is gentle and delicate.

She looked at Lou Jiyun pitifully with her watery eyes, and the discomfort in her eyes was clearly visible, which made Lou Jiyun's heart suddenly tighten, and it seemed as if a soft spot in his heart collapsed in an instant.

"Why don't you go to the bedroom to rest instead of sleeping on the sofa?" There was a hint of seriousness in Lou Jiyun's tone. He was used to speaking in this intimidating way without getting angry.

Su Banxia pursed her dry lips and said in a low, soft voice, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to wait for you here..."

After hearing this, Lou Jiyun felt helpless and his eyes became gentler. He sighed softly and said, "Then get up and go lie down in the bedroom first."

Su Banxia was suffering from a cold and fever at the moment, and her whole body was sore and weak. She had been lying on the sofa for too long, and one of her legs was numb from being pressed, so she couldn't get up on her own.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand to Lou Jiyun, her voice timid: "Professor Lou, Professor Lou."

She was hoping Lou Jiyun could help her.

Lou Jiyun naturally understood what she meant, and he held her hand without hesitation.

But the next second, his fingers slid down gently, then he bent down, one hand firmly holding her waist, and the other hand carefully passed through the bend of her legs.

Then, he exerted a little force and picked up Su Banxia sideways.

The whole body suddenly flew into the air. Su Banxia was like a frightened deer. Her breathing stopped instantly. Her consciousness, which was originally a little detached and blurred, was completely pulled back to reality at this moment.

Her eyes were wide open, full of surprise and panic, and her body was as stiff as a piece of wood.

At this moment, she was hugged tightly in Lou Jiyun's arms, and she could clearly feel the warmth and strength coming from him. Her cheeks instantly became hot, as if blood would drip out.

This was the first time in her life that someone hugged her like this. Her mind went blank and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

She was stiff for a long time before she slowly raised her hand, her fingers trembling slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally did not dare to touch Lou Jiyun's neck. Her hand just loosely circled his shoulders, gently holding them.

Lou Jiyun lowered his head slightly, gazing tenderly at Su Banxia in his arms, and called softly, "Little Xia Tian..."

His voice was low and magnetic, as if it came slowly from the depths of his throat, with a hint of hoarseness and tenderness.

To Su Banxia now, the sound seemed to come from deep in Lou Jiyun's chest. Her head was pressed tightly against his heart, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat, again and again, like the beating of a drum, which made her heart tremble slightly.

The voice seemed to be right next to her ear, gently plucking at her heartstrings.

"Hmm?" Su Banxia's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, almost inaudible.

"You can hold me tighter." There was a hint of doting in Lou Jiyun's voice. He slightly adjusted the strength of his arms to make Su Banxia lean more comfortably.

Su Banxia's heart trembled slightly, as if hit by something.

As Lou Jiyun walked towards the bedroom, her fingers unconsciously tightened a little, and her arms wrapped around his shoulders more tightly. Her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Following Su Banxia's instructions, Lou Jiyun carried her into a room.

There was a faint fragrance in the room, obviously someone came to clean it regularly, and the bed was made very neatly.

Lou Jiyun walked gently to the bedside, bent down slightly, and his movements were as gentle as a spring breeze, and he gently placed Su Banxia on the bed.

Su Banxia leaned against the soft pillow, her cheeks still flushed. She raised her head slightly and said softly, "Actually..."

"I just reached out my hand because I wanted you to pull me up, not because I wanted you to hold me. I just felt a little dizzy and wasn't that fragile yet. I needed someone..."

"I know." Lou Jiyun still bent over, his eyes gently gazing at Su Banxia, ​​his eyes filled with affection and doting. "I just want to hold you, that's all."

One of his hands was still on Su Banxia's lower back, looking down at her condescendingly, his figure slouching down, as if he was loosely holding Su Banxia beneath him.

The curtains in the room were closed and the light was dim. Only a faint light coming in from the window shone on their faces.

In this hazy light and shadow, Su Banxia felt as if her whole body was wrapped in Lou Jiyun's breath. Her breathing became hotter and faster, and her heart beat like a deer.

However, Lou Jiyun did not take any further action. He just looked at Su Banxia quietly, his eyes full of tenderness and care.

After a while, he said softly, "Take off your coat and get under the covers to sleep. I'll go boil some water and get the medicine."

Su Banxia looked at Lou Jiyun's departing back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. Her fingers gently touched the place where Lou Jiyun had just hugged her, as if she could still feel his warmth.

After taking the medicine, Su Banxia felt dizzy and her eyelids were as heavy as if filled with lead. She soon fell into a deep sleep.

This sudden fever and cold came on quickly, but it passed just as quickly. In her sleep, she broke out in a fine layer of hot sweat, and while her consciousness was hazy, she had several strange dreams in succession.

Among these dreams, the one that frightened her the most was the terrifying and thrilling scene. She dreamed that she and Lou Jiyun were in the plum garden together, the sun was shining, and the years were peaceful.

But at this moment, her father Su Liuxing appeared without any warning. Su Liuxing's face was terribly gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and he started chasing Lou Jiyun without saying a word.

Su Banxia was horrified by this sudden turn of events, her face pale and her heart leaping into her throat. Without a second thought, she instinctively grabbed Lou Jiyun's hand and ran away. Their steps were hurried and frantic, raising clouds of dust.

To escape Su Liuxing's pursuit, Su Banxia even got in her car and, along with Lou Jiyun, embarked on a thrilling pursuit of Su Liuxing on the highway. The scene was thrilling, like something out of a foreign blockbuster, with cars speeding along the highway, tires screeching against the road.

However, they were not as lucky as the protagonist in the movie. At the last moment, Su Liuxing caught up with them.

At that critical moment, Su Banxia was suddenly awakened from her dream, with beads of sweat on her forehead and her pajamas soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to her body.

"Awake?" A gentle and familiar voice sounded beside her ears. Su Banxia slowly turned her head and saw Lou Jiyun had moved a chair and was sitting quietly at the head of the bed, holding a book in his hands and reading intently.

"Yeah." Su Banxia's voice was very hoarse, and her throat felt itchy and dry, as if there was a fire burning.

She couldn't help coughing a few times, and each cough made her chest hurt.

Seeing this, Lou Jiyun immediately put down the book in his hand, quickly handed her a glass of water, and said softly, "The water temperature is just right."

Su Banxia was sweating all over at this time. She was extremely dehydrated and very thirsty.

She took the cup of water, her hands trembling slightly, tilted her head back, and drank it in big gulps. After she drank most of the water, she felt her throat felt a little better and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"How do you feel?" Lou Jiyun put down the book in his hand and leaned forward slightly.

"It should be fine." Su Banxia said softly. Although her voice was still a little weak, it was much clearer than before.

"Should?" Lou Jiyun frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He never liked hearing such ambiguous and probabilistic words. Words like "maybe" and "probably" seemed too vague to him.

He suddenly stood up, his movements quick and decisive.

He bent down slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently touched Su Banxia's forehead, wanting to test her body temperature.

But as soon as he touched her forehead, he remembered that he had just touched a cup of warm water, and the temperature of his hand might not be accurate, so measuring the temperature in this way seemed unreliable.

"It's not hot anymore." Although Su Banxia is not a doctor, he is very clear about his physical condition.

However, the next scene caught Su Banxia off guard.

Lou Jiyun suddenly leaned forward, his movements gentle yet firm.

Su Banxia's eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise and panic. She subconsciously clenched the glass in her hands, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

Because Lou Jiyun's forehead slowly touched hers, and the distance between them was so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

Their foreheads touched lightly, and Su Banxia felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

The warm breath exhaled from Lou Jiyun's nose penetrated into her nasal cavity and then spread to her limbs and bones, making her body feel numb involuntarily.

She subconsciously clenched the cup in her hands, and the water in the cup seemed to become boiling hot, but she was completely unaware of it. Her mind and eyes were completely occupied by Lou Jiyun who was so close to her.

"It seems... that the fever is gone." Lou Jiyu chuckled softly, and that laughter seemed to carry a magical power that penetrated straight into Su Banxia's heart.

Su Banxia felt as if her face and body were about to burn again. The heat spread from her heart to her whole body, making her feel a little overwhelmed. She bit her lower lip, her eyes dodging, not daring to look directly into Lou Jiyun's eyes.

"Why do I feel like... it's getting hot again." Lou Jiyun's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of teasing.

The two of them were very close at this time, and he could keenly sense the warmth emanating from Su Banxia's skin.

"No." Su Banxia's voice was as small as a mosquito. She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, trying to hide her inner panic and shyness.

"My forehead doesn't seem to be burning anymore, but your face..."

Lou Jiyun's eyes fell on Su Banxia's blushing cheeks, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a doting smile, "It's quite red."

He paused deliberately, then added, "It's still hot!"

Su Banxia secretly complained in her heart that even if she didn't die from the disease, she would be "tortured" to death by him sooner or later.

She had just had a thrilling dream and was still in shock. Now he made her feel weak all over and her heart was confused. It was really unbearable. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and avoid this embarrassing situation that made her heart beat faster.

Seeing that Su Banxia was fine, Lou Jiyun's eyes gradually lost their focus and were replaced by tenderness.

He raised his hand and gently ruffled Su Banxia's hair, his movements so gentle that it seemed as if he was caressing a precious treasure. "You've been sweating a lot just now. Get up and wash up a little, change into clean clothes, and I'll go make you some food."

Su Banxia was confused and had not yet fully recovered from her previous shyness. She just nodded subconsciously.

She did feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I recently came back to live here, so I have all the clothes I need for a change of clothes.

She walked into the bathroom with somewhat unsteady steps, and it was not until the moment she closed the bathroom door that she suddenly came to her senses and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

Lou Jiyun...want to cook for her?

Why did his tone sound so familiar, as if they had been married for many years...
