Su Banxia was in the bathroom, her mind in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through her mind like a kaleidoscope.

As she simply washed herself, she was lost in thought from time to time. The water from the shower head in her hand was sometimes scorching hot and sometimes freezing cold, but she was completely unaware.

After washing, she took the hair dryer and blew her hair absentmindedly. The buzzing sound of the hair dryer echoed in her ears, but her mind was not on it at all. Until her hair was half dry, she changed her clothes reluctantly and went downstairs with slow steps.

As soon as she got downstairs, she was surprised to find that it was already dark outside and the clock hands on the wall had quietly passed eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Lou Jiyu was wearing an apron and busying around in the kitchen. The sounds of pots and pans colliding intertwined together, playing a unique melody.

Lou Jiyun heard footsteps, turned his head, and his eyes fell accurately on Su Banxia.

He looked her up and down. Seeing that she was wearing a loose sweater and comfortable trousers, she looked warm and homely. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. "We'll be eating soon."

"Do you need my help?" Su Banxia's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of expectation.

She thought of her mother busy in the kitchen every day. She had learned a lot of cooking skills from her mother and thought she had some skills.

"There's nothing I can help you with. Just go sit in the living room." Lou Jiyun's tone was filled with unquestionable tenderness. As he spoke, he skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pot. His movements were smooth and seamless, as if he was the real owner of the house, and Su Banxia was just a guest who was cared for by him.

Su Banxia did not leave as he said, but stood quietly at the kitchen door, watching Lou Jiyu's busy back with focused eyes.

Her mind involuntarily emerged the various descriptions of Lou Jiyun given by her senior classmates when she entered the school: Professor Lou is extraordinarily handsome, with a gentle temper on the surface, but is actually difficult to get along with. Except in class, almost no one dares to talk to him... Most students in the school keep their distance from him, thinking that he is like a flower on the high mountain, which can only be admired from afar and not touched.

But she was different. She met Lou Jiyun when she was a child through her brother. At that time, she only regarded him as a kind older brother and had no restraint in getting along with him.

However, she never imagined that one day, this big brother whom she once admired would cook a sumptuous dinner for her himself.

"Do you often cook at home?" Su Banxia couldn't help but ask. Her voice was particularly clear in the quiet kitchen.

Lou Jiyun paused for a moment, turned his head, and gave her a deep look. "I don't do it often."

"Then I am blessed to be able to eat what you cook." Su Banxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes and a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Lou Jiyun paused, slowly turned, and locked eyes with Su Banxia. His gaze seemed to penetrate her heart, reaching the depths of her soul. "If you want this kind of blessing... you can have it for a lifetime."

When Su Banxia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and the smile on her face froze.

She never expected that Lou Jiyun would say such words so directly and frankly.

She only felt her cheeks burning and her heart beating like thunder. A feeling of both joy and uneasiness spread in her heart. She hurriedly avoided Lou Jiyun's gaze and turned and ran away like a frightened deer.

As she ran, she muttered to herself, "How could he be like this? How could he express his feelings so bluntly?" However, girls always liked to hear such sweet words, especially when they came from the one they liked.

A sweet feeling welled up in Su Banxia's heart. She felt that the way they were getting along now really gave her the feeling of living together.

However, this sweetness did not last long, and soon, a trace of worry arose in her heart again.

This place is too close to Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie's home, and she is afraid that someone will find out about their affair.

She was afraid that the scene in her dream would become reality. If her hot-tempered father knew about it, he would probably cause a huge uproar...

Lou Jiyun deftly brought the cooked porridge to the table and carefully arranged two plates of refreshing and delicious side dishes.

The rice grains in the white porridge are plump and give off a light rice aroma. The side dishes are bright in color, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at them.

The two quickly sat down at the dining table, ready to enjoy this simple yet warm dinner.

"This is my first time eating in this house." Su Banxia spoke softly, with a hint of novelty and emotion in her tone.

As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and her eyes unconsciously swept across the dining table.

When she lives here on weekdays, she mostly orders takeout to get by. Occasionally, when she feels like it, she will cook a hotpot. She rarely cooks properly.

"No wonder you don't have even a grain of rice here." Lou Jiyun looked up at her and spoke bluntly. His voice was low and gentle, and it was particularly clear in this quiet restaurant.

“…”

Su Banxia was slightly startled when she heard this, then she coughed twice, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Well, if you don't go back for dinner tonight, no one will look for you?"

"Are you talking about my parents?" Lou Jiyun raised his eyebrows and asked back, gently picking up a piece of side dish with the chopsticks in his hand, his movements elegant and calm.
