This corridor is extremely narrow, with a width that is barely enough for one person to pass through, and it is completely unable to accommodate the needs of two people walking side by side.

If someone else is coming towards you, both parties must carefully move sideways to avoid bumping into each other.

At the top of the corridor, the dim corridor lamp emitted a faint light, as if covered with a layer of gauze, casting a soft halo on Lou Jiyun's white shirt.

This halo fell into Su Banxia's eyes, intertwined with the dim shadows of the surrounding lights, and made her feel inexplicably hot, as if an invisible hot wind was blowing in her face.

Su Banxia's fingers tightened unconsciously, and she crumpled the paper towel in her hand into a ball. Her knuckles turned slightly white due to the force. She tried to force a smile, trying to make herself look more natural, and then she planned to pass by Lou Jiyun.

The corridor was not as well ventilated as the one outside. The air seemed to be stagnant, and the stuffy atmosphere made people feel even more hot and unbearable.

Su Banxia slightly turned sideways, trying to keep one side of her body pressed tightly against the wall to avoid any physical contact with Lou Jiyun.

However, when she was about to walk past Lou Jiyun, she found that he was standing there like a sculpture, with no intention of avoiding her at all.

Lou Jiyun was tall and straight, and his broad body almost occupied the entire width of the corridor, blocking the middle, making it inevitable for Su Banxia to bump into him no matter which side she passed through.

Just the next second when their clothes rubbed against each other gently, Lou Jiyun suddenly turned around and looked straight at Su Banxia.

This sudden action made Su Banxia freeze instantly, and her body was as tense as a fully drawn bow.

Lou Jiyun's movements almost trapped her between his body and the wall, forming a small and cramped space.

He stood there quietly, without any further movement, just leaning against Su Banxia. The distance between them was so close that their clothes touched each other, but there was no substantial pressure.

But even so, this situation was enough to make Su Banxia fall into extreme panic and helplessness. Her heartbeat accelerated sharply, like a running deer, pounding wildly in her chest.

"Do you know me now?" Lou Jiyun lowered his head slightly, approached Su Banxia, ​​and spoke softly. The hot air he exhaled when he spoke, wrapped in a faint smell of beer, hit her face. The rich breath made Su Banxia feel slightly tipsy.

"I..." Su Banxia lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look at Lou Jiyun at all. Her cheeks were already burning hot, and the blush spread from her cheeks to her ears. She was in extreme embarrassment.

"When you saw me just now, you wanted to hide your head under the table. Don't you want to see me? You don't want people to know about our relationship?" Lou Jiyun's voice was low and hoarse. Perhaps because he had been drinking, it had a bit more charm and oppression than usual.

His breathing became hotter and hotter. With every exhalation, the burning breath blew on Su Banxia's forehead precisely, and then slowly brushed along the top of her head, making her scalp tremble slightly and feel numb.

"Our...relationship?" Su Banxia chewed over this sentence in her heart, her mind in a mess, and she felt dizzy.

Her mind involuntarily recounted every detail of her acquaintance with Lou Jiyun, yet she remained unsure of the true nature of their relationship. Teacher and student? But they had already transcended the boundaries of ordinary teacher-student relationships. Brother and sister? Yet their relationship seemed to possess a unique ambiguity.

In this narrow corridor, under the cover of Lou Jiyun's scorching gaze and breath, Su Banxia felt as if she was in a fog and lost her way.

"I'm not." Su Banxia's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, a touch of panic and helplessness. Her head was lowered, and she herself didn't understand why she had been so desperate to keep it down, as if hiding herself was the only way to avoid those inexplicable emotions.

"No?" Lou Jiyun raised his eyebrows slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on the corners of his mouth, his voice tinged with teasing and curiosity. "Now that we're alone, why are you still refusing to look at me?"

Su Banxia tightly grasped the paper towel in her hands. The originally smooth paper had been crumpled by her and was full of wrinkles.

She took a deep breath, as if mustering up all her courage, and slowly raised her head.

Under the dim light, Lou Jiyun's usually stern and hard features seemed to be cast under a spell by the soft light, becoming much softer. His eyebrows and eyes no longer held the usual aloofness, but instead held an elusive gentleness.

However, the light flashing in his eyes was like a burning flame, hot and bright, as if it would burn straight into Su Banxia's heart, and then leave a deep mark that she would never forget.

"The boy who came with you tonight..." Lou Jiyun's tone paused slightly, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

He is a straightforward person and always wants to get to the bottom of any doubts in his mind.

Whether the boy in front of him was Su Banxia's boyfriend, and what was the relationship between them, these questions were like a tangled mess, entangled in his mind.

Su Banxia naturally understood what Lou Jiyun wanted to ask. Although she had many suitors in school, as a teacher, Lou Jiyun had always been aware of her emotional status and knew that she had never accepted anyone before.

Lou Jiyun had always been certain that Su Banxia didn't have a boyfriend, but today, when he saw how intimate Bai Su and Su Banxia were, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and his original certainty began to waver, becoming a little uncertain.
