Bai Su seemed to see through Lou Jiyun's intentions. He quickly raised his voice and said anxiously, "Professor Lou, please don't hang up the phone so quickly. Telling me about your relationship will actually benefit you in two ways. The first is for you."

As he spoke, he sat up straight, a serious expression on his face, and gestured with his hands in the air. "Think about it, I know Xia Xia's temper very well. She wouldn't ignore you for no reason. As long as you tell me what happened, I can help you analyze it and maybe find a solution to the problem. I can definitely give you some advice to make Xia Xia calm down and pay attention to you again."

After a pause, Bai Su continued, emphasizing his tone, "Besides, as for me, I don't know the crux of your conflict. How can I know what you will do to her, or whether she is really angry with you. What if I tell you her whereabouts without thinking, and she comes to settle the score with me in the future? You don't want me to be innocently implicated, do you? I don't want Xia Xia to blame me for this and ignore me in the future."

Lou Jiyun listened to Bai Su's words and pursed his lips slightly.

This person...

Smart indeed!

but……

There is so much nonsense!

He was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I understand."

When Bai Su heard this, he immediately became energetic. He excitedly sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes wide open, rubbing his hands together, ready to listen to the gossip.

But who would have thought that Lou Jiyun would suddenly change the subject and say calmly, "I'm sorry for interrupting you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Hearing the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Bai Su was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened wide, his eyes were round, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.

“…”

He sat on the bed, speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he suddenly came to his senses and shouted frantically, "What the hell? What the hell is going on? He just died like that! What on earth does he mean?"

He was so angry that he stamped his feet on the bed, waving his hands non-stop, muttering, "I even took off my pants, and you just ran off? How can you chase a girl like that? This guy is not only cold and indifferent, but also has no interest at all. Is Su Banxia crazy? How could she like him? All those smart guys I introduced to her before were more savvy than him."

The more Bai Su thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw his phone aside and paced back and forth in the room, cursing.

After Lou Jiyun decisively hung up the phone, he placed it gently on the table with an expressionless face, and then his eyes slowly fell on his watch. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes focused and calm, and his slender fingers tapped the table lightly from time to time.

“Tick, tick!”

The hands of the watch moved slowly, one minute, two minutes...

Time passed quietly, as if he was playing a patient game, secretly estimating in his heart.

About five minutes later, the screen of the mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up, and the caller ID showed that it was Bai Su.

The corners of Lou Jiyun's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, which contained a bit of confidence and pride.

But when he reached for the phone and answered it, his expression returned to his usual coldness, and he said calmly, "Hello."

"Lou Jiyun, what on earth do you mean?" Bai Su's voice practically roared from the other end of the line, thick with anger and dissatisfaction. "You hung up on me so suddenly? Do you think I'm trying to make things difficult for you? I'm doing this for you and Xia Xia. If you can't even withstand this little test, how can you pursue Xia Xia? Do you know how many boys are lining up to pursue her? Every one of them is so caring towards her, and you just run away!"

However, after talking for a long time, there was no response from the other end. Bai Su's voice stopped abruptly. He frowned and showed a puzzled expression on his face. For a moment, he thought the call had been hung up. He hurriedly called out tentatively: "Hello, are you still there? You didn't really hang up on me, did you?"

"Yes." Lou Jiyun responded in a concise and unhurried tone, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

Hearing this brief answer, Bai Su irritably reached out and scratched the playful little curls on his head. His eyes were full of confusion. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he said, "Lou Jiyun, you have to promise me that you won't do anything bad to her. Xia Xia is my friend who grew up with me. I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice. If you have any bad intentions towards her, I will never let you go!"

"I promise." Lou Jiyun's voice was low and firm, and a subtle tenderness flashed in his eyes. At this moment, all he wanted was to make sure Su Banxia was safe and sound, even if it was just to see her from a distance. "I'm just worried about her. I want to see her and make sure she's okay."

"She should be in the plum garden." Bai Su hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"Plum Garden?" Lou Jiyun frowned instantly when he heard this, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He had only heard of the Plum Garden area but had never been there.

But he knew clearly that Qin Yunie and Qu Qingzhu lived there, and he thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't seen Su Banxia in the apartment near the school recently, it turned out that she had moved to a new place.

"That place is very big. What's the exact location? Can you at least point me in a more specific direction? Otherwise, I'll be looking for it like a headless fly. When will I find it?" Lou Jiyun asked, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
