Ever since Lou Jiyun received Su Banxia's invitation, he has been waiting for her news with great anticipation, checking his phone from time to time, for fear of missing any of her movements.

But no matter how long I waited, the phone remained silent and there was no sound.

He couldn't help but frown, and a hint of doubt flashed in his deep eyes. He even suspected for a moment whether this girl was deliberately deceiving him.

As for Su Banxia, ​​she has been very busy recently.

The new semester was about to begin. Although she occasionally made jokes in the student union, the pre-school period was already a busy time, not to mention the welcome party to prepare. Naturally, she was called in to help out. Every day, she was surrounded by various things, busy and dizzy, her head like a mess, and she had no time to think about having dinner with Lou Jiyun.

It was not until that day that her second sister-in-law Qu Qingdai reminded her that she was planning to have a family dinner before she started school that she suddenly slapped her head and remembered that she still owed Lou Jiyun a meal.

She thought about it and decided that it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day. It happened that day was Saturday. Thinking that Lou Jiyun was usually busy with work and should be at home resting with nothing to do on weekends, she hurriedly called him.

After the call was connected, Lou Jiyun's voice came from the receiver: "I'm at the swimming pool opened by Kong Qing. I'll pick you up later."

He didn't know that Su Banxia would ask him out today, so as usual, he took advantage of the day off to come to the swimming pool to relax.

"Don't come to pick me up. I'll go find you. There's a bus that goes directly from here, so it's quite convenient." Su Banxia said hurriedly. She thought to herself, after all, she was treating everyone to dinner, so she didn't feel comfortable bothering others to come and pick her up from so far away. When she said this, her face was full of sincerity, and her fingers were unconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes, looking very embarrassed.

Lou Jiyun wanted to say something more, but there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Su Banxia had already hung up the phone.

He shook his head helplessly, then sent her a message, reminding her to be careful and call him when she arrived. After sending the message, he stared at the phone screen for a long time, as if he could see Su Banxia coming through the screen.

Inside the swimming pool, sunlight shines through the huge glass dome, reflecting ripples on the water.

When Su Banxia arrived, it was around three in the afternoon. The warm winter sun was shining, adding a bit of warmth to this slightly cold place.

She had never been here before. She only knew that the swimming pool was located on the edge of the gymnasium. It was said to be a dedicated training ground for a professional swimming team. It was rarely open to the public on weekdays, so there were few pedestrians around and it was extremely quiet.

It is the cold winter and there are few people willing to go out for fun, let alone choose winter swimming, an activity that tests one's perseverance. The area outside the swimming pool looks particularly deserted.

Only a small beverage shop selling hot drinks was still steaming, like a bit of life in this cold place.

Su Banxia walked over quickly and bought a cup of hot coconut milk drink. Thinking that Lou Jiyun might also need it, she considerately brought him another cup. Then, holding the hot drink tightly in both hands, she walked towards the swimming pool.

Although this place is not open to the public and there is no one guarding the door, Su Banxia walked straight in without any hindrance and no one stepped forward to stop him.

As she walked, she looked around curiously, secretly marveling at the spaciousness and cleanliness of the swimming pool.

Following the signs on the wall, she walked briskly and soon found the area where the swimming pool was located.

Looking around, there were several people swimming in the swimming pool, and there were also a few people standing sparsely by the pool, including a coach and two lifeguards with focused expressions.

However, for some strange feeling, she recognized Lou Jiyu among so many figures at a glance.

Lou Jiyun seemed like an elf born for water, with a strong and slender figure that was particularly eye-catching in the water.

He had shed his usual clothes and was now wearing simple swimming trunks. After entering the pool, his perfect body lines were fully exposed. Every movement he made was professional and smooth, like an elegant water bird dancing on the water.

When his body sank into the water, although the lines of his muscles were not clear due to the rippling water, the vague outline inexplicably made Su Banxia's cheeks slightly hot. Her eyes involuntarily followed Lou Jiyun's figure, and she was a little dazed for a moment.

"Alas, this place is closed to the public..." Suddenly, a voice came from the side, interrupting her thoughts. Su Banxia finally came to her senses and turned around in a panic. She saw a staff member walking towards her, with a hint of doubt and alert in his eyes.

"I'm looking for someone." Su Banxia quickly stretched out her finger and pointed at Lou Jiyun who was swimming in the swimming pool. She showed an awkward smile on her face, trying to show that she was not trespassing here without permission.

When the man heard Su Banxia's words, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, which made Su Banxia's heart skip a beat. She thought that the man didn't believe what she said.

However, unexpectedly, the man suddenly raised his voice without any warning and shouted: "Professor Lou, there is a beautiful girl looking for you!" The voice was like a thunder, quickly echoing in the slightly empty swimming pool.

This sudden shout instantly made Su Banxia the focus of the entire audience.

She felt a sudden rush of heat spread across her face, and she felt so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red, like ripe apples. She instinctively lowered her head, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her eyes darted around in panic, not daring to meet the gazes of those around her. She kept muttering to herself, "This is so embarrassing!"
