That wasn't right. Lou Jiyun already had his own place, so how could he just end up staying in Plum Garden? Why had I just agreed to go clothes shopping with him without thinking, and he almost steered clear of me, ignoring this crucial issue?
Su Banxia secretly regretted in her heart that she was so careless!
She took a deep breath, calmed her inner panic, and tried to make her expression look calmer. Then she turned her head, looked directly at Lou Jiyun, and said with courage: "You have your own home. You have stayed here for a whole night. Besides, I am much better now. You can go back. I can take care of myself!"
"Are you so anxious to get me out?"
"Either I'm going to drive you away, or you...you and me..." Su Banxia's voice gradually lowered, her eyes dodging, her hands unconsciously twisted together in front of her, her fingers entangled with each other nervously.
The two of them were originally sitting on a double sofa, but there was a space as wide as a person between them, as if there was an invisible barrier.
Lou Jiyun looked at the distance and sighed silently, his eyes filled with helplessness. He leaned slightly towards Su Banxia.
As Lou Jiyun approached, the sofa beside her collapsed softly. Su Banxia keenly noticed this change and subconsciously wanted to move to the other side, trying to increase the distance between them.
But when she moved her body back, she found that she had reached the end of the sofa and there was no way to go back.
A trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and her heart beat involuntarily faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Su Banxia didn't know what Lou Jiyun wanted to do. The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She subconsciously clutched the cuffs of her clothes with her hands.
Lou Jiyun adjusted his posture slowly, turning around almost head-on to face Su Banxia. One hand rested casually on his knee, his movements natural and graceful; the other hand stretched back, seemingly casually landing on the sofa behind her.
This posture seemed to have trapped Su Banxia under his body, leaving her nowhere to escape.
"Xiao Xiatian." Lou Jiyu called softly, his voice low and gentle, as if carrying a kind of bewitching power.
"Hmm?" Su Banxia's voice seemed to be lingering in her throat, so thin and light that it was almost inaudible.
"Let's not talk about how you've been avoiding me for a while now. Starting from yesterday, it seems like you've been trying every possible way to make me leave, right?"
"What...what?" Su Banxia widened her eyes in surprise, her eyes full of astonishment. She never thought that Lou Jiyun could see through her thoughts so thoroughly.
Her cheeks flushed crimson instantly, and she was in a state of panic. She wondered to herself: Was I really that obvious?! Would he... think I was bad?
"Isn't it?"
"But you're a man living with me... and we're not in a relationship..." Su Banxia bit her lower lip, and her white teeth left a faint mark on her pink lips.
"You are not feeling well, and it is my choice to take care of you. Not to mention that you are my good brother's sister, just because I am a teacher and you are a student, I should also care about you a little... What's more... we are now..." Lou Jiyun paused slightly, took a deep breath, his fingers tapping lightly on the sofa unconsciously, and he felt a little nervous in his heart.
At this moment, he mustered up his courage, looked directly into Su Banxia's eyes, and slowly said, "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, so what is our relationship?"
Su Banxia raised her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently like butterfly wings. Her eyes met Lou Jiyun's, and a hint of shyness and panic flashed in her eyes.
At noon, the warm autumn sun streamed in through the window, its gentle yellow light like a veil between the two of them. In this quiet atmosphere, an indescribable feeling permeated, sweet yet slightly tense.
He likes her...
She too.
It was just that after Lou Jiyun confessed his feelings once, their relationship developed rapidly, but there was always a layer of paper between them that was never broken.
Su Banxia used her fingers to tightly grasp the cuffs of her clothes, and her fingertips almost dug a hole in the cuffs of her clothes.
Like, love, these words are often on the lips of young people nowadays, but when they really meet someone they like, they find it difficult to say it, as if once they say it, this precious feeling will no longer be pure.
Lou Jiyun stared at Su Banxia quietly. Seeing her lowered her head and said nothing, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, which originally held some expectation. But soon, he curled his lips and smiled, and that smile was full of tenderness and pampering.
He adjusted his sitting position slightly, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Su Banxia's face, and spoke softly, "Maybe it's influenced by my profession. Whatever I do, I always hope to see results quickly. I like direct and fast work efficiency. But..."
"Don't feel embarrassed."
"I can wait until you feel I'm qualified to be your boyfriend and are willing to acknowledge our relationship."
Su Banxia was so nervous that her palms were burning hot. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of her palms and soaked the corners of her clothes.
Logically speaking, both of them knew how they felt about each other, but she still felt uneasy and restless. An indescribable uneasiness spread in her heart. She bit her lower lip slightly, and her pearly teeth sank lightly into her pink lips, leaving a shallow mark.
"I know you have me in your heart, right?"
Su Banxia's eyelashes trembled slightly, fluttering like a frightened butterfly. She still didn't speak, but just bit her lip slightly, struggling fiercely in her heart.
