Su Banxia just responded in a muffled voice, with a hint of depression in her voice.
Bai Su was keenly aware that she was in a bad mood, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to change the subject in an attempt to cheer her up again.
"Do you have any plans for today? There are several good movies during the Spring Festival that are still being shown. Do you want to go together?" Bai Su knew that Su Banxia had a special liking for movies, so he deliberately led the topic in this direction.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Su Banxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. Although this smile was not as bright as usual, it at least showed some life.
"What do you want to see? I think you need to book tickets in advance."
…
Since the two tables were not far from each other, the conversation between Su Banxia and Bai Su was heard intermittently by Lou Jiyun.
He listened quietly, and gradually, he understood that the person in front of him was the friend Su Banxia was talking about, and the two of them were planning to go to the movies together. It seemed that their relationship was indeed very close.
While listening, Lou Jiyun also learned the other person's name - Bai Su.
As soon as he heard the name, he felt it was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but for a moment, his memory was a little vague.
Bai, Bai Su...
Lou Jiyun narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. His mind was like a projector, quickly recalling past memories.
In a trance, he remembered that it was Su Jingmo who mentioned the Bai family to him.
I remember Su Jingmo said that the Bai family was their neighbor when they were children. Later, the family moved away due to career development. Although the two families were separated, the contact between them has never been interrupted.
Lou Jiyun still remembers that when he was a child, he went to the Su family to play with Su Zeqi and Su Jingmo, and he also saw the two children from the Bai family. However, at that time, his mind was focused on playing with the Su brothers, and he did not pay attention to irrelevant things, so he did not take the Bai family's affairs to heart.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he did have an impression of the name Bai Su.
If the person before him was indeed a child of the Bai family, then based on the friendship between their fathers, Su Banxia and Bai Su should have grown up together. They were childhood sweethearts, close and inseparable from childhood. Although they later separated, he often heard Su Zeqi mention that the Su and Bai families had always maintained contact.
Thinking of this, a complex emotion flashed in Lou Jiyun's eyes, including understanding and a hint of unspeakable loss.
Bai Su sat at the dining table, eating leisurely and sipping lychee wine, but his eyes were always on Su Banxia, intentionally or unintentionally.
Not only that, he would also secretly observe Lou Jiyun at the other table from time to time. After all, the youngest son of the Lou family was quite famous in the capital, so Bai Su was naturally curious about him.
However, every time their eyes accidentally met, although Lou Jiyun had no obvious expression on his face, Bai Su felt a sudden chill at the back of his neck, as if a cold gaze penetrated him straight through, making him couldn't help but have a thought in his heart - there was murderous intent!
He secretly wondered why this man was so fierce. This was the first time they had met since they grew up, and it was impossible for him to offend him.
"Xia Xia..." Bai Su called out softly twice. It was not until the second time that Su Banxia came back to her senses.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Su Banxia raised her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and it was obvious that her thoughts had just drifted elsewhere.
"What are you daydreaming about? Eat, the food is getting cold." Bai Su raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Su Banxia's bowl.
But beneath this seemingly ordinary action, his eyes revealed a hint of inquiry, and he was secretly observing Su Banxia's reaction.
Because the two of them were too familiar with each other, Bai Su could keenly notice any abnormality in Su Banxia.
He took a sip of wine calmly, his gaze lingering on Su Banxia for a moment, then swept towards Lou Jiyun inconspicuously.
Then, he looked at Su Banxia again and called out, "Xia Xia."
"Hmm?" Su Banxia responded with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"How does your soda taste?" Bai Su pretended to be nonchalant, speaking in a relaxed and casual tone, as if asking casually.
"I just think it tastes good." Su Banxia answered truthfully without thinking too much.
"Let me have a sip too." Bai Su said with a sly smile on his face. He deliberately stretched out his hand, pretending to grab the soda in Su Banxia's hand.
"If you want to drink, order your own. Why are you snatching mine?" Su Banxia retracted her hand and said angrily.
Although they had a good relationship and often shared food, she still felt it was inconvenient to let Bai Su touch the food that had already been eaten.
"Stingy." Bai Su smiled lightly, the smile on his face still bright.
But the moment he looked up, his eyes met Lou Jiyun's. This time, he felt the chill on the back of his neck become even stronger, as if a cold wind was blowing past.
Bai Su subconsciously lowered his head and took a sip of wine, trying to ease this inexplicable tension.
At this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and a slight headache arose in his heart. This complicated situation made him a little confused.

The night was as dark as ink, slowly falling and gently enveloping the entire world. The sea breeze blowing from Hainan was slightly cool, like a delicate gauze, gently brushing across the face. However, this sea breeze could hardly blow away the scorching heat accumulated during the day, and the air was still filled with a hint of stuffiness.
Bai Su sat at the dining table, lowered his head slightly, and gently shook the wine glass in his hand. The light pink lychee wine swayed gracefully in the glass.
