After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder
Chapter 147 Do You Want Me to Leave?
Lou Jiyun keenly noticed that Su Banxia's eyes were always on the Coke in his hand, and instantly understood what she was thinking.
He turned slightly, moving closer to Su Banxia. With a gentle smile on his face, he explained softly, "It might not be a good idea to ask them for a glass of water directly, so I bought a Coke and asked them to give me a glass of warm water instead."
Su Banxia was slightly stunned, then a sullen smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but there was still a trace of loss in her eyes that was difficult to conceal.
Even though she understood Lou Jiyun's intention, she still felt a little unhappy until the two of them walked into the theater.
At this moment, her mouth was dry and tasteless. The surroundings were filled with the aroma of popcorn and other food, but she could only hold a cup of warm water. This strong contrast made her mood even more depressed.
Lou Jiyun saw all the changes in Su Banxia's mood, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he gently handed the Coke in his hand to Su Banxia, moving very carefully for fear of disturbing her.
"I don't want to drink." Although Su Banxia was very greedy, her reason told her that she had just recovered from her illness and should not eat anything indiscriminately.
She shook her head slightly, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.
"It's all for you to drink. Take a sip." Lou Jiyun's voice was full of temptation. His slender fingers skillfully inserted the straw into the cup, and then pushed the Coke in front of Su Banxia again.
Su Banxia bit her lower lip, and the greed in her heart began to take over.
She thought, just take a sip to satisfy your craving, it shouldn't be a big deal.
So, she raised her hand slightly and pulled off the mask on her face, her movements somewhat hesitant.
Then, she gently moved her body and leaned towards Lou Jiyun's seat. She tilted her head slightly, slowly moved closer to the straw, and took a careful sip.
In an instant, the sweet taste of cola spread in her mouth, and the stimulation of soda instantly activated her taste buds.
The long-lost feeling of satisfaction made her unable to help but take another sip.
At this moment, the lights in the theater suddenly went out and the entire space fell into darkness.
“I drink…”
Su Banxia looked up, wanting to tell him that she had finished drinking.
At that moment, she felt something soft and warm touch her lips.
The touch was so subtle that her heart beat suddenly faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
As her vision gradually returned and the screen light came on, Su Banxia realized that Lou Jiyun's face was very close to her.
Lou Jiyun just touched her lightly, then lowered his voice with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone: "The movie is about to start."
After saying that, Lou Jiyun turned around and looked at the screen, his movements natural and smooth.
He lowered his head slightly and took a sip of Coke through the straw that Su Banxia had just touched.
Su Banxia looked at his actions, feeling mixed emotions. Her cheeks instantly became hot, and an indescribable shyness and sweetness spread in her heart.
Her eyes were filled with surprise and panic. For a moment, she didn't know how to react. She could only sit there blankly, her heart pounding like thunder...
Su Banxia turned her head in panic and forced herself to look at the movie screen, but her heart was beating wildly like a wild horse, as if it would jump out of her throat at any time.
The few sips of soda she had just taken seemed to be rushing through her blood vessels, bringing with it a stimulating feeling like an electric current, making her whole body feel like she was electrocuted, her ears buzzing, and as if filled with crackling sounds.
Her throat was dry and itchy, as if there was a fire burning in it. She subconsciously picked up the water cup and wanted to drink a few sips of water to relieve the pain, but every sip of water she swallowed was like adding fuel to the fire, and the feeling of thirst became more intense.
In the dark theater, she could clearly feel the residual heat on her lips spreading to her limbs little by little, and her cheeks were burning so hot that it seemed like they could fry an egg.
She raised her hand in panic and quickly pulled up the mask, covering her face tightly, leaving only her eyes exposed. There was a hint of panic and shyness in her eyes. She stared at the screen intently, wishing she could bury herself in her clothes to escape this embarrassing situation that made her heart beat faster.
Her body was trembling slightly, and the gentle touch just now kept flashing through her mind. Her heart was in turmoil, and she was always worried that Lou Jiyun would do something that would make her heart beat out of control again at some unexpected moment.
As a result, she almost didn't get into this movie she had been looking forward to for a long time and had no idea what the whole movie was about.
Lou Jiyun seemed to be completely immersed in the world of the movie. He stared at the screen seriously from beginning to end, his eyes focused and devoted, and did not make any move that would make Su Banxia nervous.
As the film ended, the lights in the hall suddenly came on. Su Banxia breathed a sigh of relief, secretly laughing at herself for being too neurotic.
The movie ended and the crowd began to slowly flow out of the theater.
For a moment, the theater was crowded with people and noisy.
Just when Su Banxia thought that this awkward movie-watching trip was about to end peacefully, a warm and strong hand suddenly held hers.
She was slightly startled and subconsciously lowered her head, only to see Lou Jiyun's hand firmly wrapped around her hand, with distinct knuckles, slender and beautiful.
"Pay attention to the steps and walk slowly." Lou Jiyu's voice sounded in her ears, low and gentle.
In fact, they both knew each other's feelings, but they were still in the stage of cautious testing and understanding.
Otherwise, with Su Banxia's personality, how could she easily let a man she didn't like hold her hand?
She bit her lower lip slightly, a sweet feeling surged in her heart, and let Lou Jiyun pull her and slowly walked out of the cinema.
At this time, the time had passed midnight, the night sky was dotted with stars, and the cold wind was blowing. Su Banxia couldn't help but shiver, and the coldness instantly enveloped her whole body.
She subconsciously clenched the only source of warmth in her hand - Lou Jiyun's hand, as if it was her life-saving straw in this cold night.
"Cold?" Lou Jiyun keenly noticed Su Banxia's trembling and turned his head.
"It's really cold." Su Banxia shrank her neck and pressed her body tightly against Lou Jiyun, trying to draw more warmth from him.
"Then let's go home."
Go...back home?
When Su Banxia heard these two words, her heart trembled violently. Why did these lines and the tone sound so much like those of a newlywed couple?
She only felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, and an indescribable sweetness and shyness spread in her heart.
Su Banxia let Lou Jiyun hold her hand, and the two of them slowly walked home along the dimly lit street.
Along the way, her heart felt like there was a joyful little deer in it, warm and fluttering.
The night wind was blowing, but it couldn't blow away the sweetness and warmth in her heart, because Lou Jiyun beside her was holding her hand tightly, and the warmth of his palm flowed through her fingertips and continuously into her heart.
From time to time, she would quietly turn her head, her eyes secretly falling on Lou Jiyun's face. The moonlight cast down, outlining his handsome features. His focused and calm look made her heart beat more and more uncontrollably.
After returning home, Su Banxia glanced at the clock on the wall. The hands had already passed midnight. Her heart suddenly tightened. It was so late, how could she let Lou Jiyun drive back? It was too dangerous.
Before she could speak, Lou Jiyun broke the silence, his tone filled with worry and concern: "Xiao Xiatian, your cold has just healed. I'm afraid your condition will relapse at night. I won't leave tonight and will stay here with you. If anything happens, I can take care of you in time."
Su Banxia looked up at him, a hint of shyness and hesitation flashed in her eyes, but Lou Jiyun's sincere eyes made her understand that this concern was real.
She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Well... well, it's so late, I'm worried about you driving back."
After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly turned around and took Lou Jiyun to the room where her brothers used to live.
Gently pushing open the door, a faint stale smell hits you in the face.
Su Banxia walked quickly to the wardrobe, reached out to open the door, and the clothes in the wardrobe were neatly arranged.
She leaned slightly to the side, pointed at the clothes inside and said to Lou Jiyun, "These are the clothes my brother and his family left behind when they lived here. The styles may be a little old, but they are still clean. Take a look and see if there is anything that fits you and that you like. Just pick one."
Lou Jiyun nodded slightly, his eyes slowly sweeping over the clothes in the closet, carefully examining each piece of clothing.
After a long while, he raised his head and met Su Banxia's eyes. A gentle smile played on his lips, and his voice was low and gentle: "Okay, I can pick it myself slowly. It's really getting late, you should go and get some rest."
"Okay, I'm leaving now..." She said softly, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's. After a moment, she took a deep breath and looked at Lou Jiyun, "Good night! I hope you can have a good sleep."
Lou Jiyun looked at her shy and lovely appearance. He took a small step forward, approaching Su Banxia, gazing at her tenderly, and whispered, "Good evening, Xiao Xiatian. I hope you can have a sweet dream tonight, full of beautiful things in your dream."
Su Banxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile, then slowly turned around and walked towards the door.
When she reached the door, she stopped again, looked back at Lou Jiyun, and then gently closed the door.
She leaned against the door, closed her eyes, and her mind kept replaying every detail of her time with Lou Jiyun tonight. Her cheeks were burning and her heart was beating fast.
*
The night enveloped the entire house. Su Banxia lay on the bed, fully expecting that she would toss and turn all night.
After all, Lou Jiyun lived in this house. When she thought that he was not far away from her, her heart beat faster involuntarily and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Not only that, she also had a huge worry in her heart, fearing that her family would suddenly attack her.
If Lou Jiyun's family really caught him here, it would be a big trouble and might even cause a huge uproar.
With such anxiety, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
Finally, she could no longer suppress her worries, so she got up from the bed quietly, opened the door carefully, stuck her head out, pricked up her ears, and listened carefully to the movements around her.
After making sure that there was nothing unusual, she tiptoed towards the main entrance, taking every step extremely carefully, for fear of making the slightest noise and disturbing Lou Jiyun.
When she arrived at the main door, she quickly locked it and pulled the handle hard, repeatedly confirming that the door was locked tightly. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and slowly returned to bed.
Perhaps it was due to the medication she had taken for her illness, but under the effects of the drugs, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she unknowingly fell asleep. This time, she slept very soundly, as if all her worries had been cast away.
When she opened her eyes again, the sunlight had already filtered through the gaps in the curtains and gently shone onto the bed.
She reached out to touch the alarm clock in a daze, and when she looked carefully, it was already past eight in the morning.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched herself, then slowly got up, put on her clothes, and walked downstairs.
Before I even walked downstairs, an enticing aroma hit my nose. It was the smell of breakfast.
Su Banxia quickened her pace and arrived at the restaurant with great anticipation.
I saw Lou Jiyu wearing the clothes left by her brothers and busy setting the table.
While the clothes showed the brothers' past taste and were of decent style, they were, after all, from a long time ago, and they looked particularly ill-fitting on Lou Jiyun. The sleeves were much shorter, tightly wrapped around his wrists, revealing a small slender wrist; the pants were also significantly shorter, revealing a large part of his ankles, making his entire look look very ridiculous.
Su Banxia suppressed her laughter and walked over to Lou Jiyun, a teasing look in her eyes: "Why are you...dressed like this?"
"Doesn't it fit?" Lou Jiyun stopped what he was doing, looked down at his clothes, and smiled helplessly, "This is the most fitting outfit I've put together from so many clothes."
"It's okay, you have a pretty face." Su Banxia said, and couldn't help laughing any longer. She chuckled, and her laughter was clear and pleasant, echoing in the restaurant.
Lou Jiyun looked at her laughing so hard that she fell backwards, his eyes full of doting: "Laugh, laugh, as long as you are happy. By the way, after dinner, accompany me to buy clothes."
Su Banxia laughed so hard that she nodded in agreement without even thinking.
But as soon as she agreed, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The smile on her face gradually faded, and she asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going home to change clothes?"
Lou Jiyun stopped what he was doing and looked at her seriously, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Who told you that I'm going home?"
Su Banxia opened her mouth, but was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond. She thought to herself, how could this person be so self-righteous in someone else's home?
"Xiao Xiatian." Lou Jiyu called softly, his voice gentle and affectionate.
"Hmm?" Su Banxia raised her head and looked at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Do you want me to leave?" Lou Jiyun stared at her closely, as if trying to find the answer from her eyes.
Su Banxia panicked when he asked her that. She coughed twice, trying to hide her nervousness. "This place is very close to Brother Qingzhu and Sister Yunie's homes. They might come over to visit. If they find us..."
"So what? We didn't do anything shameful." Lou Jiyun's tone was very calm, without any fear in his eyes.
Su Banxia listened to his words and secretly thought that he was really brave. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. They were not having an affair, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Perhaps, as people say, the most dangerous place is often the safest...
