At that time, their communication was limited to phone calls and they had never added each other on WeChat, so in her cognition, her communication with Lou Jiyun had always been simple and pure.

Su Banxia couldn't help but guess that he must have added her through her mobile phone number.

Her eyes fell on the screen again, and when she saw Lou Jiyun's profile picture, she was slightly startled. It was a cup of coconut milk, completely different from the male profile pictures she usually saw, and it seemed particularly unique. She couldn't help but think of her brothers and her father's profile pictures. They all had the same loving wife persona, and their profile pictures were all of their wives' backs, full of love.

The avatars of other male friends in her circle of friends are mostly landscape photos, anime characters, or pictures related to their hobbies. Each of them has a distinct personality label.

For a moment, Lou Jiyun's move to use coconut milk as his profile picture stirred a small ripple in her heart, making her even more curious. She subconsciously bit her lower lip, leaving a faint mark on her pink lips, her eyes full of entanglement and hesitation.

After a long while, she seemed to muster up great courage, and gently clicked the "Agree" button with her finger. Then she sent a greeting emoticon, trying to make her response seem more natural.

As soon as she sent the message, her curiosity drove her to click on Lou Jiyun's WeChat Moments. However, what she saw was a blank space, devoid of any content. Could professor life be so boring? This made her feel a little disappointed.

But soon, her attention was drawn to the background of the WeChat Moments post: two bottles of coconut milk placed side by side, looking particularly warm under the soft light. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, wondering: Does he really like coconut milk?

At that time, Su Banxia would never have thought that in the days to come, she would gradually understand that what he liked was not coconut milk, but her.

This seemingly simple profile picture and background actually concealed his deep and unspeakable love for her, but she had not noticed it at the time. This love, like a quietly planted seed, will slowly take root, sprout, and bloom into gorgeous flowers in the future.

That night, Su Banxia fell into a strange dream.

In her dream, she was beside a huge, empty swimming pool. The air around her seemed to be filled with the coolness of water vapor. The sunlight shimmered on the shimmering water, reflecting a variety of colors.

Suddenly, a splash erupted in the center of the pool, and Lou Jiyun emerged from the water. His figure was slender, and water droplets slid down his body like pearls, gleaming in the sunlight. He walked towards her step by step, each step firm and powerful, as if the whole world was left with only the two of them.

Su Banxia's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and she watched Lou Jiyun getting closer and closer nervously.

Finally, Lou Jiyun arrived in front of her, leaned down slightly, raised his hand and gently touched her face. His fingers were cool like the pool, but they made Su Banxia's cheeks instantly hot. Then, in a low, hoarse voice like mellow wine, Lou Jiyun whispered in her ear, "Banxia, ​​your face is red."

At that moment, Su Banxia jolted awake, her breathing still rapid, her face still flushed from her dream. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the bright sunlight outside the window, and realized it was already dinnertime.

Since she was about to start school, her family was extra tolerant of her and let her sleep as long as she wanted.

She stretched lazily, yawned, and walked into the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, she put on loose home clothes and walked downstairs slowly.

However, there was no one downstairs and the whole house seemed unusually quiet.

Only then did she remember that her eldest brother had accompanied her eldest sister-in-law to the prenatal check-up, her father had been busy helping her eldest brother with company business recently and had left home early in the morning, her mother and grandmother had gone out to visit friends and enjoy some leisure time, and her second brother and sister-in-law had also gone to work early and were busy running around for a living.

When the housekeeper saw her coming downstairs, he hurried over to greet her with a gentle smile on his face. He said, "Miss, you're awake. I'll go get you lunch."

Su Banxia smiled, nodded, and said "thank you".

Su Banxia sat alone at the dining table, enjoying the lunch carefully prepared by the housekeeper.

After dinner, she came to the living room and sat on the soft sofa to rest. The sunlight shining through the window on her made her feel particularly comfortable.

At that moment, the phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated. She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the caller ID, which read "Friends."

Seeing this note, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile. The person who called was her sworn brother Bai Su, the son of her father's good brother. They grew up together and were true childhood sweethearts.

However, since Bai Su's family moved to another city, they have not seen each other for a long time and have been in contact through the Internet.

Su Banxia reached out and picked up the phone and answered it. She was in a good mood. She joked in a light-hearted tone: "It's the weekend, and you're up so early? Shouldn't you sleep until the afternoon every day and be energetic at night?" After saying that, she couldn't help laughing out loud, as if she had already seen Bai Su's expression on the other end of the phone.

Bai Su's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. "School is about to start, so I wanted to come see you. Otherwise, I won't have the chance again. It's rare to have such a long vacation."

"Well, that's fine. I'll pick you up whenever you come. But school starts earlier here than it does for me. If you come later, I might not be able to stay with you for long," Su Banxia said without hesitation, her eyes gleaming with sincerity. She was already looking forward to meeting Bai Su, imagining what they would talk about and do together.
