"That's no big deal. I can play by myself, but... do you provide food and drinks?" Bai Su asked with a smile, with a hint of teasing and coquettishness in his tone.
"It's still wrapped. Are you satisfied?" Su Banxia responded with a smile. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes and her face was filled with a happy smile.
Because he and Bai Su grew up together and have a deep friendship, there is naturally not so much courtesy and restraint between them, and they get along with each other as comfortably as family.
When Su Banxia learned that her childhood sweetheart Bai Su would come to visit her in a while, she felt like she had been injected with a dose of stimulant and became extremely motivated to do everything.
She counted the days on her fingers every day, looking forward to her reunion with Bai Su, imagining that they would chat about everything and share every detail of each other's lives after meeting.
However, the days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was her first day of school, but her childhood sweetheart still hadn't contacted her. Although Su Banxia felt a little disappointed, she consoled herself by thinking that maybe Bai Su was delayed by something, and she could only wait for him to come over on the weekend to have a good reunion.
That day, after Su Banxia finished rehearsing for the welcome party, she was about to go back to the dormitory to rest, but was inexplicably stopped by her senior schoolmate. The senior schoolmate looked mysterious and told her that the chairman was looking for her.
When Su Banxia heard the news, she was stunned. Full of doubts, she followed her senior to the chairman's office.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Banxia politely asked, "Chairman, do you have something to talk to me about?"
The chairman raised his head, his eyes fell on Su Banxia, and said with a smile: "I heard that Professor Lou is your neighbor's brother, right?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Su Banxia was slightly stunned, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Don't be nervous." The chairman waved his hand and explained, "Professor Lou might come to our welcome party tonight. As you know, I'm really busy here, and I have a lot of school leaders to entertain. I originally suggested finding someone to specifically greet Professor Lou, but he said it wasn't necessary. He's a professor himself and familiar with the school. However, I thought this would be Professor Lou's first time attending such an event, so I wanted to treat him well. So, I wanted you to help me entertain Professor Lou."
"Chairman, I..." Su Banxia hesitated upon hearing this, wanting to refuse. She knew Lou Jiyun was no ordinary professor. He was known for his strictness at school, and his unpredictable demeanor was unsmiling. No one knew when he would offend her over the slightest thing, so hosting him was a difficult task.
"Is there a problem? Even though you are his student, just based on the relationship of being the girl next door, he shouldn't make things difficult for you." The chairman seemed to see Su Banxia's hesitation and tried to dispel her concerns.
"It's not this reason, I..." Su Banxia wanted to explain further, but before she could finish her words, the chairman's cell phone suddenly rang.
The chairman picked up the phone and after listening to a few words, his face became solemn. He hurriedly said, "Sorry, I have something urgent to do," and left the office in a hurry, leaving Su Banxia standing there alone, at a loss.
In fact, the rumor that Professor Lou might attend the welcome party had spread like wildfire throughout the student union. To most people, it sounded like a perfect opportunity. After all, if they could establish a good relationship with Professor Lou, they might gain many advantages in their studies and other aspects of school, perhaps even not having to worry about graduation credits.
However, Su Banxia knew in her heart that this matter was not that simple. This person was Lou Jiyun! During his normal teaching time, he was extremely strict with his students, with very high standards for homework and exams, and few students could easily meet his expectations.
Moreover, he always had a serious face and rarely smiled, which made people feel that he was difficult to approach. In class, although he explained the problems thoroughly, if the students were not serious or answered incorrectly, he would point it out mercilessly. His strict attitude often made students feel intimidated.
Su Banxia was once criticized by him for a small mistake in her homework. In Su Banxia's opinion, entertaining Lou Jiyun was not an easy task. She would rather not take over this task than take the risk. If she accidentally offended him, it would be a loss!
In reality, the seniors above them all knew exactly what was happening; they all knew hosting Lou Jiyun was a difficult task, so they were doing everything they could to push it onto Su Banxia. If this was truly a good job, according to past practice, it would have been snatched up by someone with ulterior motives long ago, leaving her with no chance of getting a chance.
Just like that, Su Banxia was pushed into this awkward position with an innocent look on her face. She originally thought that after the dinner, they would no longer have any intersection. After all, in the new semester, she no longer had Professor Lou's classes. Who knew that such a thing would happen again? Thinking of the WeChat account that they had not chatted about until now, she sighed helplessly, not knowing how to deal with what happened next.
