Su Banxia sat on the sofa, her eyes full of confusion and shyness. She knew in her heart that she had an indescribable love for Lou Jiyun. If it weren't for this love, how could she indulge his closeness again and again?
Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the window. This place was too unsafe. It was very close to Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie's home. If she was not careful, their affairs might be exposed.
Moreover, how could she not feel uneasy when a man and a woman were alone in the same room?
Her fingers gently stroked her forehead, and she recalled the kiss Lou Jiyun had just given her. Her face instantly flushed, as if the warmth of that kiss still lingered on her skin.
Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and she thought to herself, "I was just kissed by him, why did I really get a fever?"
Although Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun had spent time alone together, they had never been together in such an environment.
At this moment, anxiety and panic overwhelmed her like a tide. She felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and her already weak body became even heavier.
She leaned lightly on the sofa, intending to take a nap to relieve her physical discomfort, but she fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
On the other side, after buying the medicine, Lou Jiyun hurried back to the apartment.
When he reached the door, he rang the doorbell twice, but there was no response from inside.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
He recalled the scene when Su Banxia entered the password just now. She did not cover it at that time. Although he turned his head away quickly, he still vaguely remembered two or three numbers.
With a give-it-or-leave attitude, he entered the numbers he remembered into the combination lock. He failed the first two times, but on the third try, the door opened with a click.
Lou Jiyun pushed open the door and walked quickly into the house. At a glance, he saw Su Banxia curled up on the sofa, sleeping very uneasily.
Her brows were furrowed, her body trembled slightly from time to time, and she uttered a few unclear mutterings.
"Xia Xia?" Lou Jiyu called softly, quickly walked to the sofa, half squatted down, raised his hand and gently tested her forehead temperature.
His expression instantly grew serious, her forehead felt even hotter than before, the scorching temperature causing his fingers to tremble slightly.
The sound of the doorbell just now had already woken Su Banxia up halfway. When Lou Jiyun approached and stretched out his hand, she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were a little blurry, and her usually bright eyes were now covered with a layer of mist, making her look pitiful.
She seldom gets sick, but she always gets a bad cold or fever once or twice a year.
When people are sick, they always unconsciously reveal a hint of vulnerability, let alone Su Banxia, who is gentle and delicate.
She looked at Lou Jiyun pitifully with her watery eyes, and the discomfort in her eyes was clearly visible, which made Lou Jiyun's heart suddenly tighten, and it seemed as if a soft spot in his heart collapsed in an instant.
"Why don't you go to the bedroom to rest instead of sleeping on the sofa?" There was a hint of seriousness in Lou Jiyun's tone. He was used to speaking in this intimidating way without getting angry.
Su Banxia pursed her dry lips and said in a low, soft voice, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to wait for you here..."
After hearing this, Lou Jiyun felt helpless and his eyes became gentler. He sighed softly and said, "Then get up and go lie down in the bedroom first."
Su Banxia was suffering from a cold and fever at the moment, and her whole body was sore and weak. She had been lying on the sofa for too long, and one of her legs was numb from being pressed, so she couldn't get up on her own.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand to Lou Jiyun, her voice timid: "Professor Lou, Professor Lou."
She was hoping Lou Jiyun could help her.
Lou Jiyun naturally understood what she meant, and he held her hand without hesitation.
But the next second, his fingers slid down gently, then he bent down, one hand firmly holding her waist, and the other hand carefully passed through the bend of her legs.
Then, he exerted a little force and picked up Su Banxia sideways.
The whole body suddenly flew into the air. Su Banxia was like a frightened deer. Her breathing stopped instantly. Her consciousness, which was originally a little detached and blurred, was completely pulled back to reality at this moment.
Her eyes were wide open, full of surprise and panic, and her body was as stiff as a piece of wood.
At this moment, she was hugged tightly in Lou Jiyun's arms, and she could clearly feel the warmth and strength coming from him. Her cheeks instantly became hot, as if blood would drip out.
This was the first time in her life that someone hugged her like this. Her mind went blank and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
She was stiff for a long time before she slowly raised her hand, her fingers trembling slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally did not dare to touch Lou Jiyun's neck. Her hand just loosely circled his shoulders, gently holding them.
Lou Jiyun lowered his head slightly, gazing tenderly at Su Banxia in his arms, and called softly, "Little Xia Tian..."
His voice was low and magnetic, as if it came slowly from the depths of his throat, with a hint of hoarseness and tenderness.
To Su Banxia now, the sound seemed to come from deep in Lou Jiyun's chest. Her head was pressed tightly against his heart, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat, again and again, like the beating of a drum, which made her heart tremble slightly.
The voice seemed to be right next to her ear, gently plucking at her heartstrings.
"Hmm?" Su Banxia's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, almost inaudible.
"You can hold me tighter." There was a hint of doting in Lou Jiyun's voice. He slightly adjusted the strength of his arms to make Su Banxia lean more comfortably.
