Su Banxia thought that Lou Jiyun accompanied her all the way here to attend the student union dinner, after all, they had already reached the restaurant door.
However, just as she was about to step into the restaurant, Lou Jiyun suddenly stopped.
"Then go in." Lou Jiyun's voice was particularly clear in the quiet night. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Su Banxia softly, with a faint smile on his face.
"Aren't you going in with me?" Su Banxia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pointed to the restaurant a few steps away, her eyes full of confusion.
The light from the restaurant entrance shone on her face, reflecting her slightly surprised expression.
"I'm not going. I still have some work to deal with." Lou Jiyun shook his head with a hint of apology in his tone.
"and you……"
Su Banxia had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, Lou Jiyun seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He just smiled gently, and that smile was as warm as a spring breeze. "It's too dark, and it's getting late. I'll feel more at ease if I take you here."
At this time, the party ended at half past nine. The night had already completely enveloped the earth, and the surrounding streets seemed especially quiet under the dim street lights.
It was indeed getting late. Su Banxia's heart stirred slightly, and an indescribable emotion quietly spread within her. For some reason, at this moment, she even felt a little delirious. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to burst through. She secretly worried that in such a quiet environment, her deafening heartbeat might be heard by him.
Lou Jiyun watched Su Banxia walk into the restaurant and saw her figure disappear behind the restaurant door. Then he turned and left, his back gradually disappearing into the night.
After Su Banxia entered the restaurant, she didn't immediately head to the private room. As if drawn by an invisible force, she furtively peeked at the door, her eyes fixed on Lou Jiyun until he completely disappeared into the night.
When she finally arrived at the box, the chairman quickly noticed her arrival, walked over quickly, and asked with a concerned smile on his face, "Where is Professor Lou?"
"Professor Lou is gone." Su Banxia lowered her head slightly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
How could she dare to say that Lou Jiyun had walked her all the way to the door before leaving? If this were to be known by everyone, with their gossipy nature, it would probably cause a sensation in the entire student union.
"It's okay, don't be nervous. It's normal for him not to come. We were just trying it out. You've worked hard tonight." The chairman seemed to notice her nervousness and smiled comfortingly, "Hurry up and sit down. We'll be eating soon."
Su Banxia nodded and found a place to sit down.
However, before she could recover from her shock, many people gathered around her, most of them girls. They asked about Lou Jiyun's situation, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
As a girl, Su Banxia knew certain things well, even if they weren't spoken out loud. Lou Jiyun usually gave people an aloof and distant aura, which made many girls afraid to approach him easily.
But this doesn't mean they don't have any feelings for him. Behind these seemingly calm inquiries, hidden are hearts full of admiration for Lou Jiyun.
Su Banxia listened to their words silently, but Lou Jiyun's deep eyes and gentle smile involuntarily emerged in her mind, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
"I'm not that familiar with him." Su Banxia lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and there was a barely perceptible evasion in her voice.
Perhaps she had some unspeakable selfish desires in her heart, and she did not want to share Lou Jiyun's meticulous and thoughtful side with these curious girls in front of her. In her heart, those special moments with Lou Jiyun were like treasures that belonged to her alone, and she did not want others to see them.
"Aren't you childhood sweethearts? Aren't your brothers close to him? Is he also cold to you? Don't you guys chat?" A girl had a puzzled look on her face, and threw out a series of questions like a machine gun, her eyes full of desire for gossip, staring at Su Banxia closely.
"That's because my brothers are familiar with him, so I took advantage of them. Apart from having dinner with my brothers, we don't keep in touch privately." Su Banxia bit her lower lip slightly. What she said was half true and half false.
It is true that they did not contact each other privately, but those accidental encounters and interactions left a deep impression in her heart.
"Okay, stop asking. Don't you all know what kind of person Professor Lou is? I guess the junior is already very nervous sitting with him. How can she dare to talk to him? Besides, Professor Lou is a man of few words." At this time, a senior student spoke up to smooth things over. She waved her hand with a sophisticated smile on her face.
"That's true. Talking to him is harder than climbing to the sky." Another girl echoed, sighing softly, her eyes full of regret.
"By the way, the student representative who spoke today is so handsome." Someone suddenly said this, and in an instant, the topic was blown off course as if by a gust of wind, and everyone's attention was shifted to the handsome student representative.
Everyone was discussing the matter, their laughter and chatter mixing in. After the topic was diverted, no one paid attention to Su Banxia anymore.
Lou Jiyun, a man of few words? Upon hearing this assessment, Su Banxia couldn't help but frown slightly, a faint frown forming between her brows.
She wondered to herself, where did this rumor come from? In her memory, Lou Jiyun didn't seem like a particularly talkative person, but he was definitely not a taciturn person. On the contrary, every time he opened his mouth, he would say something that caught her off guard. Those words were like keys, easily unlocking some corner of her heart, and each time she was at a loss and confused.
