After all the hard work, Bai Su was exhausted and out of breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead and the clothes on his back soaked with sweat. But when he thought of his sister's happy look when she received the gift, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.

After finally buying everything on the list, Bai Su felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

He looked around and found a small cafe on the street to rest. He dragged his tired body into the cafe, ordered an iced coffee, found a seat by the window, took a deep breath, and put the shopping bags aside.

Just as he was drinking coffee and relaxing, he inadvertently looked out the window and happened to see a familiar figure - Lou Jiyun!

Bai Su has been to Beijing several times, but has never met Lou Jiyun before. But recently, he didn't know what luck he had, he had just met him not long ago, and today he met him again.

At this time, Su Banxia was attending class in the school classroom. She sat upright in her seat, her eyes fixed on the blackboard, listening carefully to the teacher's lecture.

Suddenly, the cell phone under the table vibrated twice in succession. She frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and finally she quietly took out her cell phone to check.

Bai Su's message read: [Xia Xia, guess who I met at the duty-free shop?]

Su Banxia's brows furrowed even more. She quickly typed a reply: [If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm in class.]

After replying, she did not forget to observe the teacher out of the corner of her eye to make sure she was not discovered.

Soon, Bai Su's message popped up again: [Lou Jiyun, what a coincidence.]

When Su Banxia saw this message, her heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason, and an indescribable sense of tension instantly surged into her heart.

But she tried to stay calm and quickly replied: [It happens, so why tell me? ]

Then, Bai Su's message came again: [It's okay, just gossiping with you, because there is a woman next to him...]

Seeing this, Su Banxia's breathing suddenly sank, her heart was in suspense, and her fingers unconsciously clenched around the phone.

However, the next second, Bai Su added: [Judging from her age, she should be his mother.]

Su Banxia was so angry when she saw the message that she almost threw her phone away. Her cheeks flushed red, her eyes filled with anger and helplessness. She thought to herself: Is he a devil? He's here to tease me!

Today, Lou Jiyun was just accompanying his mother to buy some things. He has always been a filial son, but he didn't expect to meet Bai Su on the way.

Although the two are not rivals in love, nor do they become jealous of each other as soon as they meet, there is still a subtle atmosphere in the air.

When Lou's mother was shopping, Lou Jiyun did not accompany her throughout the whole process. Instead, his mother sent her aside to find a place to rest.

It wasn't that he didn't want to accompany his mother, but rather that his mother had other ideas. She said frankly, "I don't like having a wooden stake standing next to me when I'm shopping."

Therefore, Lou Jiyun was sent aside by his mother to rest, and it was because of this that he ran into Bai Su.

Lou Jiyun and Bai Su had never met before, and given his personality, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say hello.

He had just sat down in his seat and looked down at his phone for a few seconds when he noticed someone sitting opposite him. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up. The person was Bai Su.

"Let me introduce myself, Bai Su, Su Banxia's friend." Bai Su broke the silence first with a slightly awkward smile on his face.

"Lou Jiyu." Lou Jiyu spoke concisely and in a low voice without a trace of unnecessary emotion. His stern face was like ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

Upon hearing this, Bai Su couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking to himself that this introduction was too concise and a little outrageous.

"What a coincidence. We just met not long ago, and I didn't expect to meet you again today..." Bai Su coughed twice, raised his hand and pulled the playful little curls on the top of his head, trying to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

"Is there something?" Lou Jiyun went straight to the point, staring at Bai Su with a sharp gaze. This simple and rough response was still so concise that it left people speechless.

Bai Su felt a headache and wondered why Su Banxia would like such a person. He was like a piece of extremely hard steel that could not be kicked.

What fun is there in being with someone like this?

Is it his expressionless face or his frugal manner of speaking?

Are all the young girls nowadays in love with this kind of ice-cube man?

"Do you like Xia Xia?" Bai Su stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, his eyes full of concern and scrutiny.

Lou Jiyun looked at Bai Su calmly and uttered one word: "Yeah."

Although the voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

"Are you serious?"

"I look at it, like it's just for fun?"

Bai Su's mood at this moment was like that of an old father, worried that his daughter had been cheated.

After all, he grew up with Su Banxia, ​​and he knew her too well. Su Banxia looked smart and clever, but sometimes she could be confused, which made people worry.

If Su Banxia knew that Bai Su compared her to her old father, she would probably be so angry that she would want to kick him away.

"What do you want from me?" Lou Jiyun picked up his coffee and took a sip. Amidst the steam, his eyes remained stern.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask how you feel about her. But if you two really get together, it will involve many aspects. After all, you are a few years older than Xia Xia, and you are good friends with her two brothers. If they knew that you gave their beloved sister to..."

Lou Jiyun was sipping his coffee with his head down, feeling the rich and mellow bitterness spreading on his tongue.
