Su Banxia blushed slightly, lowered her head quickly, and tapped her fingers rapidly on the screen: [Lou Jiyun is here.]
At this time, Bai Su was sitting leisurely on the sofa. His cell phone suddenly vibrated and he picked it up casually to check.
After seeing Su Banxia's message, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and the phone in his hand almost slipped.
"Lou Jiyun? Ran to the Su family?" Bai Su muttered to himself, his face full of shock and confusion.
The scene of his previous meeting with Lou Jiyun involuntarily emerged in his mind. That guy couldn't utter a word for a long time, and was like a cold stone. Bai Su even thought for a while that this guy might not know how to pursue girls at all, but now, he actually walked into Su Banxia's house without saying a word.
"You chased someone to someone else's house? You're not talkative, but you're quite active." Bai Su couldn't help laughing out loud. He felt surprised, but also secretly happy for Su Banxia.
He sat up straight on the sofa, his finger swiping across the screen as he quickly replied, "Okay, it seems they really value you. Treat them well, and we'll see you later."

After Su Banxia replied to Bai Su's message, she gently put her phone into her pocket and slowly walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Her eyes unconsciously fell on the two people playing chess beside the coffee table. She saw Lou Jiyun and Su Liuxing playing chess with full concentration. The crisp sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard was particularly clear in the quiet living room.
Su Banxia looked at the complex situation on the chessboard, but her heart could not calm down.
She thought to herself that actually she and Lou Jiyun didn't seem to have any special relationship, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably guilty.
"I lost again." Lou Jiyun frowned slightly, a look of helplessness on his face, and a hint of annoyance in his tone. He looked at the situation on the chessboard, shook his head lightly, and tapped the edge of the chessboard with his slender fingers.
"You've just started playing and haven't mastered the rules yet. With your intelligence and talent, you'll definitely be able to turn the tables soon once you become familiar with the rules." Su Liuxing laughed heartily, his face filled with joy.
On ordinary days, it is rare to have someone to play chess with him so attentively. Today, playing chess with Lou Jiyun made him very excited.
At this moment, Yu Wantong, who was busy nearby, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Su Banxia's uneasy look. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.
Then, she gave Su Banxia a subtle wink, with a hint of expectation and suggestion in her eyes.
Su Banxia noticed her mother's gaze, her heart tightened, and she stood up subconsciously.
She understood what her mother meant and did not dare to delay for a moment, so she hurried into the kitchen.
"Send these out." Yu Wantong stood in front of the kitchen stove, turned around, pointed at the neatly arranged tea and a plate of exquisite snacks on the tray, and said to Su Banxia.
"Me?" Su Banxia widened her eyes slightly, a hint of hesitation and nervousness flashed in her eyes. Her hands twisted unconsciously in front of her body, and her voice was much softer than usual.
"What else?" Yu Wantong smiled, gently walked over to Su Banxia, and patted her shoulder. "I think you're acting strange today. We have guests at home, and you're just daydreaming. That's so rude. Don't be fooled by Lou Jiyun's cold exterior; he's actually a warm-hearted person."
Yu Wantong tilted her head slightly, carefully examining Su Banxia, and continued, "Besides, this is at home, not at school. What's wrong? Are you afraid of the teacher?"
Yu Wantong mistakenly thought that her daughter was frightened by Lou Jiyun's serious look, so she kept comforting her.
"Go and deliver the things over." Yu Wantong urged again, and then gently put the tray into Su Banxia's hands.
Su Banxia took the tray helplessly, her hands trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
In fact, she really wanted to tell her mother that she knew Brother Lou was a warm-hearted person. All the little things she had experienced with Lou Jiyun came to her mind like a tide. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. She could only bite the bullet, holding the tray, and walk towards the living room step by step.
"Dad, Lou...Brother." Su Banxia walked to the two of them with a tray in her hand, her steps a little stiff. She leaned over slightly and gently placed the tray on the side of the coffee table.
Because she and Su Liuxing are family, they don't need to be so polite when they get along with each other on a daily basis, but when facing Lou Jiyun, her heart is as nervous as a deer.
She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lou Jiyun, handing him the cup with slightly trembling hands.
"Thank you." Lou Jiyun nodded slightly, muttered a thank you, and reached out to take it. The teacup was small and exquisite, and the moment their fingertips touched it, they inadvertently brushed against it.
Lou Jiyun looked normal, without any abnormality on his face, as if this was just an ordinary contact.
But Su Banxia felt as if struck by an electric current, her breathing suddenly stagnating. Where he had touched her, an indescribable tingling sensation spread rapidly from her fingertips to her entire body. She instinctively withdrew her hand, a flicker of panic in her eyes. To mask her inner throbbing, she rubbed the fingertips that had been touched, pretending nothing had happened.
"Xia Xia, who do you think will win this round?" Su Liuxing stared at the chessboard, his eyes flashing with concentration and excitement. He was completely immersed in the game between the two of them and didn't notice his daughter's abnormality at all.
Su Banxia frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the chessboard. While she wasn't exactly a chess prodigy, she was quite familiar with the intricacies of the game, having been nurtured by her father since childhood. She was definitely much better than Lou Jiyun, a complete novice trying out the game for the first time.
